Flagger hit by truck, in critical condition SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

As of 8 a.m. Tuesday morning the victim of a horrific workplace incident was still alive but in critical condition at Vancouver General Hospital, officials say. The traffic flagperson was run

over and pinned under a dump truck at the worksite on Beverly Street near York Street in Duncan on Monday morning. “A portion of Beverly Street has been undergoing roadway upgrades for a few months, and this area has been closed to

through traffic, with local traffic allowed during that time,” said North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jon Stuart. It’s not clear why the truck driver didn’t see the flagger. The collision occurred about 10:30 a.m. near the school board offices.

Superstore recalls ground beef due to E. coli SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Product recall: Frozen Uncooked Lean Ground Beef 1.6 kg (4x400g) package size. [CNW GROUP/LOBLAW COMPANIES LIMITED]

Attention Real Canadian Superstore customers: Loblaw Companies Limited is asking the public not to consume frozen Uncooked Lean Ground Beef sold in 1.6 kg package size, as it may be contaminated with E. coli. The products have been removed from shelves and no consumer complaints have been reported. “We sincerely apologize to our valued customers for any inconvenience or concern due to

the unavailability of this product and its recall,” said a press release issued by Loblaw. “The health and safety of our customers is paramount to us and we are committed to providing our customers with a clean and safe store environment and offering products that are produced, sourced and handled responsibly.” Customers who bought the potentially tainted beef can return it or contact customer service email customerservice@loblaws.ca or call 1-800-296-2332.

No shutdown of site by WorkSafe From page 1 paramedic. She said she ran out to the road and saw the woman, non-responsive and pinned under the truck. She said the dump truck driver was distraught and appeared to be in shock. “I feel very bad for this woman and I don’t know if she’s going to survive. My prayers are with her,” said the building manager, who did not want to give her name. WorkSafe B.C. crews began investigating immediately, spokeswoman Ally Skinner-Reynolds said Monday afternoon. “It appears that the control person was actively controlling traffic at the time and there was a revers-

ing truck with a pup trailer that struck her as it was reversing,” Reynolds said. A dozen firefighters from North Cowichan’s South End Hall arrived and were prepared to inflate large balloons to lift the truck off the woman, who appeared to be in her mid-20s. Fire Chief Rob McDowell said those were not required. “I don’t know where that came from,” he said. It was one of several rumors about the incident circulating around town, including one that the young woman had died shortly after the incident. The B.C. Coroner’s office was called out after reports of a fatality, but spokeswoman Barb McLin-

tock later confirmed her office wasn’t required at the scene. Work at the site was halted while WorkSafe investigators examined the scene. “In a case like this where there’s been a serious incident, a serious injury to a worker, obviously we shut down the site until our officers have gained the information they need,” Skinner-Reynolds said. “Our officers evaluated the situation and we didn’t find circumstances present that warranted immediate [shut down] orders.” The employers are under no restrictions from resuming their activities at the site, she said.

It’s been a long haul negotiating and waiting for the final approval but it’s been worth it, according to a Sunfest spokesperson the Citizen talked to Tuesday. The buzz is huge. “Yesterday was our biggest day ever [for ticket sales],” he said. “We’ve been working on this since March. All of Sunfest is really excited about it.” The negotiations with McGraw’s people went smoothly and it was almost a sure thing by August but the final decision was hanging on the artist’s approval. “It’s the guy in the hat that makes the final decision. He gave his confirmation to this about two weeks ago. He was filming in Vancouver over the last month and a half and that’s probably what led to the distraction of Sunfest not being able to release this information a little sooner,” according to the spokesman. Now that McGraw’s on board, the spotlight turns to Friday and Saturday and news there is good, too. Sunfest officials have been in

It’s going to be our biggest lineup to date.” McGraw has just wrapped up his sold-out Two Roads to Freedom tour and will soon be hitting the Las Vegas stage with wife, country star Faith Hill, for the popular Soul2Soul show. Of course the next question for Sunfest fans is: will Faith Hill join her husband at Sunfest next August? There’s no word on that yet, either, which means country fans will be glued to the sunfestcon certs.com website for every bit of information they can find. And, of course, to snap up the hottest ticket around.

Dragon’s Den to shelves: Koﬀski ready for launch SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

After 36 years of ups and downs, Cowichan inventor Sam Koffski’s saw horse bracket hit the shelves at 180 Home Depot stores across the country this week — all of the major home retailer’s mega stores — except for one. Koffski will be hosting a launch party at the Home Depot at Cowichan Commons on Friday at 5 p.m. when his product will be officially unveiled. Koffski appeared on the TV show Dragon’s Den two years ago and ended up making a deal with investor Arelene Dickinson. Dickinson recently told the Huffington Post that working with Koffski was one of her most memorable deals. “I think a lot about Sam Koffski,” she said, noting he spent decades trying to get his invention to the market only to be caught up with manufacturing issues. “It was his dream,” she said. “I did a deal with him and we’re now about to put it into stores, and that journey, for me, amplifies what the show’s about: people who have dreams and what you can do when somebody has good intentions and wants to work hard. It’s a Canadian story.” Koffski said he was “kind of surprised” when he learned Dickinson had spoken so highly of him. “She does a lot of deals,” he

Sam Koffski and his son Sid in front of the Dragons. [SUBMITTED] explained. The pair has been in contact frequently over the last two years as the project moved ahead but Koffski was surprised to see Dickinson last week in Vancouver after he was ambushed at a Home Depot store there. “We were enticed over under false pretenses,” he said. “They didn’t let us know what was going to happen.” Koffski certainly didn’t have an inkling he’d be back in front of the cameras but that’s what happened.

“We walked in the door and there were lights and cameras and Jeff Kinnaird walked over with a Home Depot apron on and introduced himself as the vice president of Home Depot.” They walked down an isle together and there was Dickinson. “She gave me a bug hug,” Koffski said. Officials from Peak Products, the manufacturer of his saw horse brackets, was also there. “Sometime later they do an update to show what happened with that deal,” Koffski explained. “This thing in Vancouver is what they’re going to air.” He said he’s not sure when his update will hit television sets. “We’re quite excited about it,” he said. “They are packaged very well.” There’s even Spanish on the box for when the product hits the American market. “Arlene mentioned the other day that when the American market is full, they are already working on the rest of the world,” he said. “It could in the next few years develop into something pretty good.” For Koffski, it’s been a long time coming. “It’s exciting,” he said. “I’m just starting to believe it.” Koffski is hoping friends and family will join him at the Home Depot on Friday at 5 p.m. for cake and a celebration.

Somenos Marsh was wrapped in mist Saturday afternoon as friends of the unique ecosystem gathered to demonstrate their concerns about development there. A call had gone out to the general public from the Somenos Marsh Society to kick off its Wild Wings festival by coming down to the marsh at 1 p.m., Oct. 19 and forming a human chain around it by linking arms. And they came, about 350 strong; some ran, some needed canes, but Valley folks who think the marsh is special appeared

from all sides, climbing to the top of the dike to make their demonstration all the more visible. With two members of the Cowichan Spirit Drummers walking behind them adding rhythmic encouragement the big crowd waved at passing motorists, many of whom honked their support as they passed. Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Jean Crowder came out to add her presence to the day. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said that he and council were still looking at a variety of situations, including where to place a new police station, adding that they were taking all the recent public comment into consideration. On the Society’s Facebook page, organizers exulted after the event, “a fantastic turnout for Arms Around the Marsh. What an amazing community we have.Thank you to everyone who came out to make this event a huge success!”

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL CANADA AVENUE AND INGRAM STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS The City of Duncan invites qualified Engineering Consultants (Proponents) to submit Proposals for the provision of professional services for the design and tendering of planned infrastructure upgrades at the intersection of Canada Avenue and Ingram Street. Proposals (3 hard copies) clearly marked “RFP Canada Avenue and Ingram Street Intersection Improvements” are to be delivered no later than Monday, November 4, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. (local time) to: Abbas Farahbakhsh, Director of Public Works, City of Duncan, 200 Craig Street, Duncan, BC V9L 1W3. Full details can be found on the City's website www.duncan.ca under 'City Hall' and 'RFPs'. Comments and questions can be directed to Abbas Farahbakhsh, Director of Public Works, via telephone 250-746-5321 or email abbasf@duncan.ca.

Officials representing five prominent community groups have banded together to urge the CVRD to find a way to fund them permanently. The leaders of the BC Forest Discovery Centre, Cowichan Valley Arts Council, Cowichan Sportsplex, Cowichan Green Community and Cowichan Valley Hospice Society, while grateful, are tired of going through the grant-in-aid process each year — not knowing whether their efforts will be in vain. “We understand and sympathize that the provision of grants-in-aid is a stop-gap measure and one that is intended to assist in an initial or one-time seeding of funding and that repeated requests could deprive other deserving agencies from enjoying essential support from the CVRD,” the group wrote in a letter to the CVRD’s regional services committee. “While we are deeply appreciative of the support granted over multiple years to our agencies, we share a common dilemma; our agencies cannot survive without the financial support of local government.” The letter dated Oct. 8 but appearing before the committee at their Oct. 23 meeting, requested a resolution be brought before the CVRD board that would bring the five groups out of the grant-inaid funding vein and instead provide them with regular financial contributions. (The CVRD board is made up of the same politicians that sit on the regional services committee). According to the CVRD’s head bookkeeper, Mark Kueber, the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s grants-in-aid program has ballooned over the years from a measly $5,100 in 2003 to a high of $625,550 this year and offered the most of all the 14 regional districts in the province. Come budget deliberations in each of the last few years, directors acknowledge their dilemma — to help fund groups that often give great value for their dollars, or to keep taxes down and risk losing valuable community assets? Meanwhile, many of the same groups get funded annually, while other groups looking for help are left with nothing. Just how to tackle the grantsin-aid problem is also on the agenda for debate during the Oct. 25 regional services committee meeting. The suggestions by staff range from limiting the total grant budget, to establishing a dollar limit for individual grants to eliminating the program altogether.

Witnesses describe altercation at manslaughter trial Editor’s note: Witness testimony in the manslaughter trial of Brandon Huth in the death of Shawnigan Lake’s Tyler Noble, who died after an altercation two years ago in Victoria, has been ongoing since last week. This is a compilation of excerpts from articles by the Times Colonist’s Louise Dickson who is reporting on the trial. To read the full articles, go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com LOUISE DICKSON TIMES COLONIST

Tyler Noble

Testimony Thursday, Oct. 17: When Tyler Noble drank, he became hostile. But in the early morning hours of Nov. 26, 2011, before he was fatally injured, Noble was more hostile than usual, his friend Tom Gow said in his first statement to police. That information was recounted Thursday as Gow took the stand at Brandon Huth’s manslaughter trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Gow testified that he was out drinking on the night of Nov. 25, 2011, with a group of friends from the Mill Bay area. About 2 a.m., he and Noble left the Boutique Nightclub and a loud, heated argument broke out between Noble and a gay couple on Broad Street. Gow testified that he heard Noble use the word “fag.” He moved in to calm Noble down, then apologized to the couple. They continued walking, and at the corner of View and Douglas streets, Gow went into McDonald’s to get some food. When he came out, he found Noble embroiled in another heated argument, Gow testified. He tried to get between them, putting his right palm on Noble’s chest. His left forearm brushed against Huth’s stomach. Gow testified that he was turning toward Noble when he was hit on the left side of the head. His head spun toward the ground. When he looked up, Noble was knocked out. “I heard like a crunch, a really big crunch, a really brutal crunch. I looked back and saw Tyler’s eyes roll back. He looked frozen in mid-air,” said Gow, fighting back tears.

said something along the lines of “Leave. Go away,” or “Go home.” There were two men at the centre of the group. Huth struck the first man, Tom Gow, on the chin with an open hand. Shortly after, Huth struck Noble, also on the chin with an open hand, Davies testified. Both times, Huth used his right hand, said Davies. N o bl e f e l l t o t h e g r o u n d unconscious. Davies and Huth quickly left the area, walking down Douglas Street to hail a cab. During cross-examination, Firestone observed that Davies has a lot of gaps in his memory about what happened that night, attributing it to alcohol and the amount of time that has passed. Firestone suggested that the two groups of young men appeared to be squaring off. Then when Gow moved in between Noble and Huth and made a motion to Huth, Huth slapped him. “It’s possible,” Davies said.

Testimony Friday, Oct. 18: After learning the man he had struck was in grave condition, Brandon Huth started to cry, Crown witness Nathan Davies testified Friday in B.C. Supreme Court. On the night of Nov. 25, 2011, Davies was out with friends and texted Huth to meet him at Monty’s nightclub. About 2 a.m., after moving on to two other nightclubs and consuming about nine beers, they went to McDonald’s. Davies and Huth were inside McDonald’s when a man, Sean Poulsen, asked them to come outside. Poulsen led them to a group at the corner of View and Douglas, Davies testified. Poulsen and Huth approached the group and words were exchanged, Davies said. He recalled that Huth

collected,” Poulsen said. Poulsen testified that he’d gone out with two friends. As the three men walked up View Street, Poulsen’s friend David Hamilton saw one of his friends being verbally abused by another man, Poulsen said. The man, later identified as Noble, was behind them and still being verbally abusive, as they walked to McDonald’s Poulsen said. Poulsen testified that he went into McDonald’s because he could see Huth. “I remember telling him there was a situation outside and I could use his help,” Poulsen testified. “He came out.” “I just remember Brandon telling Tyler to leave, to go home, to get out of there,” Poulsen said. Huth and Noble were talking back and forth. Then Huth slapped Noble in the face. “Tyler moved back a few feet. More words were spoken. Maybe a minute went by. Then Brandon struck Tyler and Tyler fell back on the ground.” Huth struck Noble with a closed left fist, Poulsen testified. The witness did not remember if Noble had done anything physically aggressive and did not remember anyone else being involved. During cross-examination, defence lawyer Peter Firestone

Testimony Monday, Oct. 21: Sean Poulsen asked his friend Brandon Huth to come out of McDonald’s to deal with a crowd because he was scared someone would get hurt, the Crown witness told a B.C. Supreme Court Monday. “He had always been calm and

noted that in the days that followed Noble’s death, Poulsen refused to provide any information to the investigators or the Crown. Poulsen gave evidence for the first time after being sub-

poenaed to testify at the preliminary hearing in October 2012. Poulsen testified that from the beginning to the end of incident, Noble was loud, aggressive and belligerent.

OUR VIEW

Weekend advisory proves air pollution point ur Friday editorial warning about the Valley’s air quality issues in winter and calling for an end to backyard burning has proven to be prophetic. At least about the air quality issues. The fog that’s socked in the Cowichan Valley turned to smog Friday due to the abundance of fine particulates (pollution) in the air. That led to an air quality advisory and open burning restrictions within 15 kilometres of Duncan City Hall by the Ministry of Environment and the Vancou-

ver Island Health Authority. “Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted,” it read. “Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes and lung or heart disease.” That’s an awful lot of people who are being told to restrict their lives, because, of all things, breathing may be harmful to them. All because of the crap we’re

dumping into the air. If you don’t suffer from one of these conditions or fit one of the categories mentioned in the advisory, you certainly will know somebody who does. We shouldn’t be polluting so much on a regular basis that something as simple and natural as a change in the weather can push our air quality beyond the safety point for many of our citizens. And consider that the City of Duncan itself actually already prohibits backyard burning. But the city is small in area and surrounded on all sides by areas

that do not (yet!) ban burning, so they continue to suffer. Consider also the scary fact that while this warning pertained to the 15 kilometres around City Hall only, that’s largely because they’re the only ones who have a monitoring station to even find out if the air quality in the vicinity is bad. Other places in the Valley were likely just as affected, but we don’t have the technology in place to know. And while the advisory and burning restrictions have now been lifted, in a lot of places the fog certainly hasn’t cleared off

yet. One can conclude that this weather will continue to have an effect on the air quality. It’s worth noting that while many seem to think the burning windows mean they can light up a pile indiscriminately, there are actually still restrictions on burning and those wishing to do so are supposed to keep track of the ventilation index. If it’s poor, or the days in the immediate future will have a poor index, you’re still not supposed to burn, window or not. The Ministry of Environment noted Monday that ventilation drops to poor after sunset.

We must stand up for our rights Re: smart meters This is for you, Annette Lampson, and all those of you who champion an individual’s inalienable right to choose what is appropriate inside and outside of their own properties. This is for all of you who wish to take a stand against BC Hydro’s attempts to bully people into submission, by invoicing those who have opted out of their smart meter propaganda. This is for all of you who wish to, once and for all, create a precedent in case law that officially opposes a corporation’s alleged “right” to manipulate and coerce its clientele into submission.

This is for all of you who stand up fiercely for their own health, the environment’s and that of their loved ones. This is for all of you who have the gumption to stand up for freedom of expression in a world that encourages sheepish conformity to the status quo. For those of you who choose to roll over and submit to whatever archaic systems corporations want you subjected to — don’t be surprised to find more and more of your freedoms systematically rescinded. You alone are responsible for the way our culture is shaping. In the end, you will only have yourselves to blame for your apathy and passivity. Meanwhile, on behalf of the rest of us, I understand that a

class action lawsuit has been filed. People who have opted out of the “smart” meter are being advised to disregard BC Hydro’s invoice issuances. See http:// citizensforsafetechnology.org/ CLASS-ACTION-Lawsuit-PACKAGE,85,3344 for details. Sincere thanks to those of you who take the time to stand up for injustice, social inequity, corporate greed and/or corruption. Your vote matters, and light is prevailing. If you genuinely believe that this is merely an issue of rhetoric, Mr. Alex Currie, I would respectfully suggest that you have perhaps missed the entire point. Annik Moyal-Waldman Cowichan Station

It is alarming to think that Director Loren Duncan feels that bus service to Area E is the responsibility of North Cowichan and Duncan because they have the population to pay more. This is just another example of elected officials catering to the wants of the CVRD bureaucrats rather than the needs of their constituents. It also demonstrates once again, that our elected officials do not understand what they are committing their taxpayers to. Mr. Duncan admits he was dragged into this deal and now wants to renegotiate. The CVRD bus service is 80 per cent subsidized by taxpayers. The allocation of that subsidy should be based on cost to provide the service to Area E, not the population of North Cowichan and Duncan. Their populations have nothing to do with Area E bus service. The issue here is that Area E has a big city appetite with a small town budget. If the service is not worth the cost to Area E residents, it should be dropped. Don Swiatlowski North Cowichan

Stephen Harper: pioneer of the corporate world order?

ICF should look at other train providers

While Stephen Harper, in light of his Foreign Investment Protection agreements that would allow companies to sue any government in Canada whose action limited company profit, may be vilified as a destroyer of democracy, reducing governments to mere administrators of public policy that is written in corporate boardrooms, also it could be considered that, in such actions, he is simply a prominent public figure exemplifying fundamental global changes in social/economic organization that are so massive and driven by such powerful forces (trans-national corporations and financial institutions), that they are far beyond the influence of any popular citizens’ movement. Leaders in government and business will continue to speak of democracy as a value that they protect, but that frequently is only window dressing, a deceit and a diversion from the effects of their actions, which include Foreign Investment Protection agreements. Through such agreements, international corporate elite and their representatives, such as Stephen Harper, decide that companies have the ultimate authority in public policy, as they give themselves and their peers the right to sue (dis-empower) any government that would interfere with further accumulation of corporate wealth and power. There is reason to believe that the emerging fundamental organization of the increasingly unified global community now is government by corporation, and that nation-states and national governments are becoming quaint public relations devices as much as their predecessors the ruling royal families. Corporate interests now have control of mass media — the most powerful educator of the young — and so, as generations pass, the nature of public values changes to reflect corporations’ values. Now we see vast economies driven by people seeking to lend meaning and value to their lives by their consumption of consumer goods: “I buy, therefore I am.” Consumerism is the new state religion — an opiate of the masses. Thus, the commercially educated consuming populace contributes to the greater enrichment and empowerment of the corporate elite and to the destruction of the natural environment upon which we all depend. However, as corporate interests influence public values, whatever conditions prevail will be the new normal. (cf. Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman: Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media 1988, and Neil Postman: Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985). In future years, Stephen Harper might well be praised as a pioneer of the new corporate world order. From our present perspective, that seems likely to be a most curious, unnatural, unpleasant, and de-humanized world, but history is the version told by the winners. If we could look forward truly, we would see a strange new world. An important question continues: How to live well?

If Via Rail is not interested or willing to run the Dayliner for the Island Corridor Foundation, then maybe the Island Corridor Foundation should look elsewhere for assistance in running the Dayliner. There are several other passenger rail companies besides Via Rail that operate across Canada. For example, the Rocky Mountaineer rail company runs between Vancouver and Squamish as well as Vancouver and Calgary, plus other passenger rail services in Alberta. Also, Translink operates rail services throughout the Lower Mainland. Perhaps the Island Corridor Foundation should open talks with one of these companies if they truly want to get the Dayliner running again. With the delays and cancellations with Via Rail to get the Dayliner running again, why bother with them? There are other options when it comes

More important issues than smart meters What is this load of fluff Gillian [Sanders, letter to the editor Oct. 18] is speaking about? Monitoring our every move and on and on Gillian goes. My gosh, we were driving a horse and buggy not so long ago really but somebody had a SMART idea and designed motor vehicles. Look at where we are today and I bet all the folks crying about smart meters still jump in their gas guzzling, environment destroying cars each and every day. Smart meters may not be perfect but they’re a step in the right direction. Anti-smart meter folks need to find

something else to whine about. How about spending time finding a way to save our bees so we don’t lose 60 per cent of our food source. Randy Kits Cowichan Bay

Walk signals not long enough Police campaign for pedestrian safety is all very well. Try getting across the highway at a crossing before the walk signal turns red. It changes about a third of the way across. Does this mean I’m jaywalking the rest of the way? What if a car hits me when I’m partway across and the light is red; again, am I jaywalking? Sure sign city councillors and police don’t use these crossings. Georgina Knight Chemainus

Ian Harmon gives a standout performance of mental patient Renfield, left, and Ted Cole drives much of the action as Van Helsing. [COURTESY CHEMAINUS THEATRE FESTIVAL]

Chemainus Theatre’s Dracula will make you jump, scream

William Kentridge’s Production of The Nose

COWICHAN THEATRE PRESENTS

ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

When you’re putting on Dracula, it’s a good sign when you can get an actual scream out of your audience. That’s what happened during last week’s opening night performance of this enduring classic tale of good and evil at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. There was lots to like about this latest offering, which runs until Nov. 9. The script, which director Bernard Cuffling told the audience had undergone some changes to make it the Chemainus Theatre’s own, is adapted from the original Dracula tale, following the story of young lovers Jonathan Harker (Daryl King) and Lucy (Masae Day) as they learn about battling vampire Count Dracula (Ian Butcher), with help from Lucy’s mother Dr. Seward (Erin Ormond) and her longtime friend and supernatural expert Abraham Van Helsing (Ted Cole). A standout performance is given by Ian Harmon as mental patient and Dracula apprentice R.M. Renfield. He manages one of the creepiest laughs this reviewer has ever heard, and is pitch-perfect in swinging between menacing and pathetic. Michelle Lieffertz rounds out the cast as Miss Wells the maid, in an amusing turn. Butcher is suitably silent-footed, aristocratic and evil as fiction’s original vampire, Dracula. King and Day are good as the fiancée determined to save his love and the confused and frightened victim

of Dracula, respectively. A female Dr. Seward is an interesting change to a story of this era, but it’s easy to see why the theatre chose to make the move, as Ormond’s performance as a no-nonsense woman of science provides both contrast and grounding for the supernatural elements. Cole as Van Helsing drives the action forward with energy and commitment. The play owes a lot to the set, lighting and special effects this time around as well, with rising mist, bare tree limbs and shadows providing great atmosphere. You will jump in your seat during this show, so if you like to get the heart going, be sure to book your tickets.

Auditions for it are being held in Centennial Hall in Lake Cowichan on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. Performers of all types and ages are urged to audition, showcasing the talents they want to display in the show. During the actual show, which takes place the following month, the audience will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite performer, with the winner carrying off a cash reward of $500.

She has been teaching creative performance in voice, piano and drama for the past 45 years and has been the artistic/stage director of the Kaatza Lakeside Players Society for 30 years. Currently semi-retired, she still works with the Society as artistic consultant.

Fright Night TIPS ON KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE ON HALLOWEEN

To ensure a safer celebration of Halloween, Safe Kids Worldwide recommends the following tips:

Pedestrian

Costumes and Treats

• Children under 12 should trick-ortreat and cross street with an adult • Walk on sidewalk or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing the trafﬁc as far to the left as possible.

• Decorate costumes and bags with reﬂective tape or stickers and choose light coloured costumes to improve visibility. • Choose non-toxic face paint or make-up instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision. • Avoid carrying sharp objects such as sticks, swords, or “wands”. • Check treats for signs of tampering before children are allowed to eat the, Candy should be thrown away if the wrapper is faded or torn or if the candy is unwrapped.

Drivers • Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighbourhoods. Children that are excited may move in unpredictable ways. • Remember that costumes can limit children’s visibility and they may not be able to se you vehicle.

Duncan is the place to be for Halloween fun Oct. 26. Spooktacular Saturday is back downtown and more! There’s trick-or-treating in historic downtown, a creepy zombie walk through the city core, and games, activities and contests at Charles Hoey Park and City Square, followed by a free Halloween Skate at the Island Savings Centre. Later in the day, there’s a special scary swim at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. In the downtown core, the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society will be partnering with the Cowichan Community Options Society to really put the spook in Spooktacular. Families love taking the kids trick-or-treating at downtown businesses who

are setting up their baskets at 10 a.m. and handing out goodies until noon. The DBIA activities include mummy-wrapping and, according to the DBIA’s Jen Coyle, a costume booth hosted by Alley Cat Hair Salon at CIBC bump out where kids can have a cool photo taken with costumed characters. The costume contest takes

place at noon sharp in City Square. The downtown candy crawl is always exciting, as it draws a crowd of costumed youngsters into the city core where everyone can enjoy the spooky but safe atmosphere and meet friends. The popular Zombie Walk has moved to Saturday as well, according to COS’s Jarred Van De Mortel. “Our Zombie Walk is a United Way fundraiser, so we will have tents set up in Charles Hoey Park for people to have makeup put on by $2 donation. That will be starting at 9:30 so we can be available for people to take part in the walk that starts at 10:30. “We’re hoping to get people to buy some of our hot dogs, See Fright Night • page 13

Perhaps our Mr. Cartwright is one of the men at the head of the shaft of the Tyee Mine on Mount Sicker. And is that Charlie Melrose, working the hoist at the right? —TWP Bryant went below for an inspection tour. When he signalled to be pulled up, Cartwright, who’d been vigorously yanking up loads of rock without regard for their comfortable ascent, was shocked to suddenly see Bryant’s head as it appeared above the skip and kept going, straight up, after the cage suddenly stopped. As Cartwright began to explain that he’d been given the wrong signal, the one for hauling ore, Bryant graciously admitted that it was his mistake. Wrote a relieved Cartwright, half a lifetime later, “He had a very rough ride, but he said it was a good experience on the behaviour of ropes under true working conditions!” It proved to be an ice-breaker between them and, thereafter, they conversed frequently about their mutual experiences in Cornwall. Cartwright was careful, however, not to be seen by his workmates as being too friendly with the boss. A spinoff of their chats, however, was an introduction to and resulting friendship with Claremont Livingston, elder son of the general manager of the Tyee Copper Co. who was operating a drill at another mine on the mountain. These water-cooled drills, the first he’d seen in operation, fascinated Cartwright. With their diamond teeth set in the crowns of the soft steel bits they not only drilled the holes for setting explosive charges but they extracted a 30-foot-long

core of the rock through which they’d passed. From these drill cores engineers could chart the underground workings and detect changes in mineralization. But they weren’t perfect; a particularly annoying fault was their habit of bending and going off-course, particularly when they encountered harder rocks structures. This feature was dramatically demonstrated several weeks after Cartwright’s arrival on the mountain. For some time, Bryant had been puzzled by core samples which weren’t showing him the rock formations that he was expecting. The mystery was solved one midnight with a “tremendous uproar in the Chinese cookhouse,” situated up-hill of the mine. For days, it was learned later, the cooking staff had been frightened by strange noises underfoot. Then, suddenly, it happened. With a roaring of breaking timbers, the “dragon” they’d come to fear, burst through the cookhouse floor. In the ensuing uproar, all hands were called out to man the fire fighting equipment and to inspect the mine workings for damage. The culprit eventually proved to be “the crown of a No. 2 Sullivan drill which had just emerged” through the cookhouse floor. By all reckoning, that drill should have been “in the heart of the mountain at least 1,500 feet lower down!” www.twpaterson.com

Win almost gets away from Caps KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Ahead 5-1 early in the third period of last Saturday’s home game against the Chilliwack Chiefs, the Cowichan Valley Capitals apparently thought they had things taken care of a little too soon. The Chiefs weren’t done, however, and ate away at the Caps’ lead, first with two powerplay goals, then a pair of even-strength markers, tying the score with just 25 seconds left in regulation. “I don’t think we had the right mindset after we went up 5-1 to lock things down,” said head coach Bob Beatty. “We made errors in judgment that kept them in the game. I give them credit. They kept coming hard; they smelled blood.” With 11 seconds left in the first overtime, Cowichan defenceman Reilly O’Connor buried his first B.C. Hockey League goal, giving his team the victory. “Fortunately we got the win, but hopefully the lesson will sink in,” said Beatty. “I wouldn’t say it’s all good, but we were able to get two points.” The game-winner was O’Connor’s second point of the game, following an assist on Kyle Horsman’s second goal of the contest, early in the third period.

and Gusse stopped 31 of 32 shots for the win. “I thought we had a pretty good effort Friday night, against a team we are neck and neck with,” said Beatty. “We started the weekend off right. It wasn’t a game where I think anything in particular stood out. We were able to get some goals and we played a pretty solid game defensively.” On Sunday, playing their fourth game in five days, and with an early-morning start to their day to get to Powell River for the afternoon matchup, the Caps held 1-0 and 2-1 leads before giving up three consecutive goals. “They’re obviously a solid team,” said Beatty. “They had Saturday off, waiting for us, licking their lips, basically. We just made too many mistakes. I don’t like to use fatigue as an excuse, because all teams have to go through a period where they play a lot of games.” Colton Kehler and Myles Powell scored for the Caps, with Dane Gibson setting up both goals. Gusse stopped 41 of 45 Powell River shots. The Caps, now at 9-8-0-1 and second in the Coastal Conference, will have a rematch with the Chiefs in Chilliwack on Friday, then head north to Prince George to face the Spruce Kings on Saturday.

Cowichan suffers first loss in women’s soccer on late goal by Castaways KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan suffered their first defeat of the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association season last Sunday, losing 3-2 to Castaways in Victoria. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Cowichan managed to tie the score with 10 minutes left to play, get-

ting goals from Katrina Clark on a corner kick by Maria Robinson, and Nicole Pugh from a scramble in front of the Castaways net. Unfortunately, Castaways rallied to score the winner. “Not one of our better games,” said Cowichan coach Marilyn Pugh. “For some reason, we were not generating enough offence, so not enough shots were taken.” Cowichan is back in Victoria next Sunday to face Vic West. The team is now 2-1 with 11 goals for and four against.

Inconsistent efforts keep hurting Isles KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Kerry Park Islanders had some sparks of brilliance during their home-and-home series with the Comox Valley Glacier Kings last weekend, but it wasn’t enough to earn a victory. “You can’t play one period in the first game and eight minutes of the last game and expect to win two games,” said Mark Osmond, the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team’s owner. The Isles watched a first-period lead slip away on Friday as they lost 4-2 at home, then battled back in Courtenay the next night, only to lose 4-3 in overtime. The line of Alex Milligan, Corey Peterson and Braedan Cross staked the Isles to a 2-0 first period lead on Friday, as Milligan and Peterson each registered a goal

and an assist, and Cross had two helpers. The team also had a goal called back, but failed to score on a 90-second 5-on-3 powerplay late on the frame. Comox scored two powerplay goals in each of the next two periods to win. “In the second and third, [the Islanders] thought they had the game won, and you can’t do that,” said Osmond. “You can’t play 20 minutes and win the game.” On Saturday, the Isles trailed 21 after the first period, and were behind 3-1 by the middle of the third. Milligan and Francis Slicer — with his second of the game — evened things up for Kerry Park, but the Glacier Kings scored in the first overtime to send the Isles home with one point. The Isles were admittedly light on players for the extra frame. Blueliner Matt Osmond — Mark’s

Hometown Store The purpose of Amendment Bylaw Nos. 3733 and 3756 is to permit portions of the subject property to be rezoned to P-2 for the site of a new fire hall, and to rezone a portion to C-6, which will be developed as a commercial farm market. The remainder of the property will remain zoned F-1 (Primary Forestry).

“You can’t play one period in the first game and eight minutes of the last game and expect to win two games.” MARK OSMOND, Kerry Park Islanders owner

son — was lost to the team midway through the first period on a hit from behind. The offender from Comox will face suspension over the incident, while Matt Osmond is likely out for a few games. Already down to five defencemen, the Isles then lost Nick Hayes to a game misconduct after he got in a fight early in the third period. It wasn’t until they had their backs to the wall with two men sidelined, however, that the Isles played their best. “We played well in the last eight minutes to tie it up,” said Osmond. “We played those eight minutes in the third period like we can play.” Neither loss was the fault of Kerry Park’s goaltending. Veteran Jackson Jane made 42 stops on 46 shots to earn first-star honours on Saturday, the day after rookie Leighton Williams was named third star for his 41-save performance. The Isles have lost two players from their roster in recent weeks, as forwards Matt Grant and Dayne Ellison have opted to leave the squad. The team will get Brendan Gowanlock back soon, once the Vancouver Island Raiders’ junior football season is wrapped up. Kerry Park will face a big challenge this Thursday when the team visits the league-leading Victoria Cougars. On Friday, the Isles will play host to the Peninsula Panthers. Osmond believes his team is as capable as anyone of winning in the VIJHL. “There’s a lot of parity,” he said. “Other than Victoria and Nanaimo, everyone’s pretty even. If we keep plugging away, we’ll get our guys to figure it out.”

SCOUTS SHOW THEIR STUFF ON THE WATER IN CANOE CHALLENGE

Scoring leader Steve Scott.

Strong start propels FC against CW KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan FC’s best start of the Vancouver Island Soccer League season spurred the Div. 1 team to a 3-0 Victory over Castaways at Victoria’s Finlayson Park last Saturday. “We actually started the game quickly,” said head coach Glen Martin. “We were prepared, and we came to play.” Brad Thorne scored the eventual game-winner 14 minutes into the game, redirecting a Dan Citra cross for the team’s earliest marker this season. Steve Scott scored his team-leading fourth of the campaign off a Kevan Brown cross at 27 minutes, and Stu Barker, the eventual game MVP, buried a corner kick by Tyler Hughes in the 38th minute. “We outplayed them pretty good,” said Martin. “We had lots of territory, lots of possession. I was surprised it didn’t end up more than 3-0.” Martin did admit he may have changed the momentum a bit at halftime when he made three substitutions, knowing some of his bench players won’t get much time next week when his team faces league-leading Vic West. Still, Cowichan did generate some scoring chances in the second half, with Matt Arnett ringing the ball off the post and Brad Thorne getting robbed by the Castaways keeper. Joel Wilson earned his fifth shutout in Cowichan’s sixth game of the year. After not getting any work in the first half, he had to be sharper in the second half, with his best stop coming on a free kick. Cowichan will be back at Finlayson against Vic West. Cowichan, Lakehill and Vic West are all tied atop the league with 13 points apiece, although Vic West has played just five games while the others have six under their belts. Cowichan has two wins and two losses against Vic West since the team reached Div. 1 two years ago. Martin believes his squad could tip the balance in their favour this week. “If we play like we did in the first half [against Castaways], it should be a competitive game,” he said.

The 1st Cobble Hill Scouts came away with three of the six awards handed out at the fifth annual Vancouver Island Canoe Challenge at Quennell Lake in Cedar on Oct. 5. The Cobble Hill unit entered three teams of two in the event, which was judged not only on completion time, but also on technique and canoeing knowledge. The course took approximately two and a half hours to complete, including a portage. Forty-three teams from across Vancouver Island took part in the event. First year Scouts, Joseph Morelli and Jazmin Wheeler finished first, Geoff Arrowsmith and Connor Loch-Labelle placed third, and Liam Austad and Joshua Wheeler took home the Scouting Spirit award.

Fibre Fair on Saturday

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The annual Cowichan Valley Fleece and Fibre Festival is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Cobble Hill Hall. This is the oldest fibre fair on the Island and each year, hundreds of people attend the festival to purchase everything from buttons and accessories, to clothing, fibre and yarn. Artists, hobbyists, wool producers, vendors and others join together in an atmosphere of appreciation, learning and camaraderie. There are demonstrations from well-known instructors, knitting and spinning circles, and workshops. Tables feature everything from raw fibre to goods that make fantastic Christmas gifts.

Five guys bring the jazz

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

A five-piece combo hits the stage Sunday, Oct. 27 as the jazz series at the Crofton Hotel continues. Three of the guys claim they have been jamming together most weekends since the ’60s. Piano player Nick Galichenko, Brian McLagan, on tenor, and Don Reksten, on alto and baritone, first got together when the three were teenagers in high school in Vancouver. They now all live in Victoria, and have jammed and performed together over the decades, gigging at such Victoria venues as the venerable McMorran’s Beach House, Steamers, and the Bard and Banker Pub. They will perform Sunday with bassist Alec Lee and drummer Ron Joiner from 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is $10.

printmakers to what is a continually growing group. POG members excel in a wide range of printmaking techniques including etching, collograph, serigraph, embossing, relief printing (lino/woodcuts) and monoprinting but they work with two ideas in mind: exhibit as much as possible and introduce the public to original printmaking. The Portals show offers hand-pulled prints of every kind plus demonstrations on the Wednesdays and the Saturday of the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
