Flagger succumbs to fatal injuries SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
The 29-year-old flagger involved in a horrific construction site accident Monday morning has died and her colleagues are rallying to ensure her devastated family is supported. Maggie Feeley was taken off life support late Wednesday night. Since Monday, the wife and mother of three had been in critical condition with internal bleeding and brain damage at Victoria General Hospital, after being run over and pinned by a reversing dump truck at a road-paving site while she directed traffic near the
roundabout where Beverly and York streets intersect. A resident of Cobble Hill, Feeley had been a traffic controller with Island Traffic Services for the last two years. “She was probably one of the best workers. She was always very reliable and very safety conscious with her job. That’s why this thing is so freaky,” said Al Jorgensen, Feeley’s boss at Island Traffic Services He said the incident has “really affected a lot of people” on the job site and off and Feeley will be See Two funds • page 8

Mozambicans carve into Canadian Halloween KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
It was a new experience for nearly everyone involved in one way or another as participants in the Canada World Youth program from Canada and Mozambique carved pumpkins at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre. The participants arrived in the Cowichan Valley after three
months together in Nampula, Mozambique. In both places, they stay with local host families and engage in a variety of volunteer activities, including environmental and social events, and, of course, pumpkin-carving. “Today, we get to show them a bit of Halloween culture,” said Will Millar, one of the Canadians, who hails from Ottawa.
Benny Langa, from the Mozambican capital, Maputo, was amused by the way Canadians go overboard celebrating Halloween. “In Mozambique, Halloween is different,” he said. “We don’t have candies. Some people carve pumpkins and wear masks and See Halloween • page 11

Goodbye to dust: truck wash coming for Youbou SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
The residents of Area I (Youbou/Meade Creek) will get their truck wash after all. And they won’t have to pay for it either. Area I Director Pat Weaver was thrilled to make the announcement Wednesday night, ahead of an official press release expected out within the next few days. “It’s long overdue and I’m happy to tell everyone that a truck wash will be in at the end of December/first part of January hopefully,� she told the CVRD board at a special meeting. “T he good people of Youbou deserve all the good stuff.� For upwards of eight years Youbou residents have been choking on the dust and dirt kicked up by commercial logging trucks as they leave the forest and travel out of town along Youbou Road. With a promise the truck wash is coming, Weaver said the logging companies carry on with the seal-

ing coat that goes on the first four to five kilometres of the old logging road and they will continue to wash and sweep when it is needed. “This is a step in the right direction so I’m very happy to announce that,� Weaver said. On July 10, the CVRD
board passed a resolution to approve a $5,000 contribution, taken from the Youbou/Meade Creek Nature and Habitat Fund in order to help commercial loggers reduce the amount of dust, first and mud on Youbou Road. The decision did not sit well with members of the community and the CVRD board eventually scrapped the idea. But the need for a washing station remained. So, led by Timberwest, it’s expected multiple logging companies working in the area will also chip in. The news was met with a round of applause from around the board table. “I want to congratulate Dir. Weaver on her stick-toitiveness on this file,� said Ian Morrison the director of Area F (Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls. “This has been a longstanding issue and a resolution in favour of the residents of her community is long awaited. I would like to congratulate her for seeing this through to what looks like a great conclusion.�

Toilet paper TV pitch garners big recognition LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
Shawnigan Lake entrepreneur Brad Kornelson, shown here with his bamboobased product, Silk ‘n Soft Toilet paper, is looking at exciting times ahead for the company he owns with business partner James Legh. They’ve secured some interest from two of the CBC’s Dragons’ Den regulars and now it’s onward and upward towards a bright future. [MIKE D’AMOUR/CITIZEN FILE]
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL CANADA AVENUE AND INGRAM STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
It’s onward and upward for Shawnigan Lake entrepreneur Brad Kornelson and his business partner, James Legh of Victoria, after a successful pitch of their product Silk ’n Soft bamboo-based toilet paper on the CBC TV show Dragons’ Den last week. Two of the Dragons, Jim Treliving and Arlene Dickinson, were interested and decided they wanted in on the product but whether or not that happens is still undecided, according to Kornelson. Although the program just aired, it was actually filmed in the spring and everyone involved financially has been busy, he said. Particularly their company, True Earth Paper Corporation. The due diligence called for on the TV show has been completed and now the pair of Dragons are “sitting on the fence and waiting for us to hit some targeted numbers, which we had projected on the TV show, which were $2 million in sales in the following year. We’re not there yet but we’re very close to being there,” according to Kornelson. A lot has happened with the company, especially since the show aired and the Dragons’ involvement is definitely not a done deal, for either side. “It was an amazing experience [being on the TV show]. But there have to be some decisions made: if the Dragons still want to be on board or if we want to follow through with the offer. Both parties still have the option of basically shaking hands and parting ways,” Kornelson said. The six minutes of TV show time was the result of 45 minutes of filming in Toronto in April but before that, Legh and Kornelson auditioned early in the year in Victoria and Kornelson was unsure if they’d even passed that test. “I honestly thought we weren’t going to get called. Three weeks later, we got the phone call from CBC out of Toronto; that gave us a date.” Kornelson and Legh found

the timing perfect because they were going to Toronto to accept the Product of the Year Award anyway. How did they feel when they got the call from Dragons’ Den? “ P r e t t y exc i t e d a n d ve r y nervous.” He agreed that it’s possible that six minutes on TV could make or break a whole career. “The outcome of the show has been fantastic. I’m flying to Toronto at the end of this month to pitch to all of the major grocery retail chains. Everyone was looking. Within two days after the show, I received over 200 emails from consumers in eastern Canada, wanting to know where they could buy the product. And right now, it’s only available in western Canada.” The company has other products lined up and hopes to piggyback them into the spotlight as well with all this publicity: Dragon Towels, a bamboo replacement for Styrofoam meat trays, facial tissue, even baby wipes. “The name has nothing to do with Dragons’ Den. The towel is very unique and exciting. It’s 100 per cent bamboo cloth. One roll of 20 sheets will replace up to six months of paper towel. We’ve only made two presentations so far and both accounts have listed it,” Kornelson said proudly. “We’re working very aggressively on a deal to introduce bamboo meat trays and packing trays to replace Styrofoam in Canada.” Kornelson said the “hard sell” is that the trays themselves are going to cost three, four or five cents more than the Styrofoam

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.

trays. “That price will likely have to be passed on to the consumer but I don’t think there’s a consumer out there who would not be willing to pay five cents more for a package of ground beef or a steak to do away with the Styrofoam tray.” Kornelson found his bamboo products by using decades of experience as a food broker. After a series of meetings in Australia and China, Kornelson and Legh chose a supplier and surged ahead. “We gained almost immediate acceptance on Vancouver Island: Thrifty Foods, Country Grocer, Quality Foods and many of the independent stores supported us. We brought the product in. And then we met London Drugs at a trade show in Anaheim and introduced them to the product and they pretty much listed us on the spot.” They have since presented to Federated Co-op, Safeway, Sobeys, Associated Grocers and H.Y. Louie (the IGA store) and have made inroads in western Canada but “a bunch of the other retailers are just sitting on the fence,” he said, adding, “One of the biggest obstacles we’ve had is that we’re basically a small company. We’re a little fish in a very big pond.” “Now we have to show that our product is sustainable, that we can keep going, can keep up with demand, can do all the marketing programs that they want to see. Dragons’ Den has certainly opened doors, created awareness with both consumers and our retail partners,” he said. The next while is going to be an interesting time for the company. “It could be that the money we’ve asked for from the Dragons won’t be enough. If we get a couple of the majors, such as WalMart or Loblaws or Metro coming on board, we could be looking for more capital for inventory than we had agreed upon with the Dragons but the door is open for us to talk to them,” Kornelson said. “It’s more than just bringing in toilet paper. Sometimes, when you see a product on Dragon’s Den it looks so easy. There’s the whole behind the picture scene that people don’t realize. It’s a very big challenge,” he said.

Fireworks can net fines for Halloween SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Despite fireworks being a Halloween tradition for many, Cowichan Valley Regional District residents are prohibited from discharging them without a permit. Fines can be upwards of $500 for those caught in the act. Free one-day permits for the CVRD’s electoral area residents are available by contacting the CVRD, so all is not lost for those traditional cul-de-sac family-type displays. “It’s free, they just fill out a form and I do a few checks to make sure they’re over 19 years of age and the landowner has given approval to do this on,” bylaw enforcement officer Nino Morano explained. The permits allow for Halloween fireworks to be set off between 6 p.m. and midnight on Oct. 31 only. The restrictions apply to all of the electoral areas within the CVRD, the Town of Lake Cowichan and the Town of Ladysmith. The rules are slightly different in North Cowichan and Duncan,
— but not much. “One thing we’re all on board with is the sale of fireworks being prohibited,” Morano said. “I think that’s pretty consistent throughout the Cowichan Valley at this point.” The difference is that in North Cowichan and Duncan, individuals are banned from discharging fireworks. Permit applicants have to be organizations or family groups. “We don’t issue permits to individuals,” explained Mary Beth MacKenzie, North Cowichan’s deputy clerk. “But fireworks may be sold to and discharged by any organization or group conducting a public or private display,” she said, provided they get written approval from the municipality and that there is adequate supervision. Fines range from $50 to $250 within municipal borders for those caught having displays without permits. The same rules apply in Duncan as in North Cowichan, except the fines range from $25 to $250.
Secondary suites head to city public hearing KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Duncan city council moved even closer to allowing secondary suites when it gave the first two readings to a zoning amendment on Monday. Suites contained within primary structures would be permitted under the amended bylaw, as well as garden suites located on the same lot. “This is a great step forward,” said Mayor Phil Kent. “This has been part of our community plan for a long time.” The addition of legal, regulated secondary suites will provide further affordable housing, Kent noted, and provide more options for people looking to live in Duncan.
Feedback at an open house regarding the amendment was almost exclusively positive, said Kent. Most concerns revolved around parking, and the bylaw now states that each house with a secondary suite must also provide an additional off-street parking space. The amendment includes regulations requiring the owner of the principal dwelling to live in the property, and limiting secondary or garden suites to just one per lot. They cannot be stratified or subdivided, and are not permitted on lots smaller than 460 square metres. A public hearing will take place at the next council meeting, on Nov. 18, before the amendment is passed.

Accused felt ‘intimidated and threatened’ court hears LOUISE DICKSON TIMES COLONIST
Brandon Huth said he feared for his safety when he struck the man he’s accused of killing outside a downtown McDonald’s in the early morning of Nov. 26, 2011. Huth is charged with manslaughter in the death of Tyler Noble, a popular 20-year-old hockey player from the Shawnigan Lake area. On Wednesday, the 25-yearold construction worker took the stand in his own defence as Noble’s family and friends crowded the public gallery, which was filled to capacity. Huth testified that after a normal night on the town, he and his friend Nathan Davies went to the McDonald’s at Douglas and View streets. The mood was good and both he and Davies were drunk, Huth said. Sean Poulsen, a man Huth had worked with at a nightclub, approached Huth inside the restaurant. “He said there was a problem outside and he asked me to come and help. I agreed to go outside,” Huth testified. There were two groups at the corner, Huth said. Several men were shouting, but one voice was louder than the others. Poulsen showed him who the aggressor was, and Huth stood across from Noble. “I asked the guy, ‘What’s up?’ And I got a cocky response back.” Huth told Noble to go home. But Noble replied: “Why don’t you go home?”
Brandon Huth testified in his own defence Wednesday. [DARREN STONE/TIMES COLONIST]
The exchange between the two men was aggressive, Huth said. Noble was almost shouting, and Huth was talking in a raised voice. “Can you describe your state of mind?” asked Firestone. “I was kind of annoyed but worried there was the potential for physical contact. I felt intimidated and threatened,” Huth testified. “I was fearful for my person safety.” In his peripheral vision, Huth saw Noble’s friend Tom Gow making a motion toward him. “I expected a blow would be struck,” he said. Huth testified that he slapped Gow with his right hand, then slapped Noble with an open left hand. “I was in fear. Again, there was a lot more of them than there was
of me. The gentleman was being hostile, and I thought I was going to be hit,” he said. Huth testified that he saw the left-handed slap hit Noble on the right side of his head, then saw him stiffen, fall straight back and hit his head on the concrete. Huth left the scene not knowing how seriously Noble had been injured. He sent a text to his roommate, Shawn-Ray DuBerry, who was working as a security guard and had witnessed the assault. “Shawn, I owe you my life. You didn’t see that when the p.o. [police officer] asks,” said the text. A little later, he received a text from DuBerry: “Full crime scene. Yellow tape. The kid might die. It’s all on camera, dude. You f---ed up man.” Huth testified that he started crying. DuBerry later called to say Noble was on life support. “I broke down. Emotionally, it’s probably the worst I’ve ever been in my life,” Huth told the court. He phoned his father to come and pick him up and take him to the police station, he testified. Prosecutor Tim Stokes suggested Huth was never intimidated and wanted to physically engage with Noble. He reminded Huth that Noble was never physically aggressive toward him and had his hands by his side. Stokes also suggested the slap was a punch with a closed fist. “You don’t want to admit that you used heavy force when you hit Mr. Noble,” Stokes said. “No, sir,” Huth replied.

OUR VIEW
Setting off illegal fireworks a public nuisance here is nothing as annoying in the weeks leading up to Halloween and on Halloween night as all of the people running around setting off their illegal fireworks. We’re not talking the thoughtout backyard displays some families like to set off (and can get a permit for). Some of these can be quite beautiful. And the community fireworks shows at this time of year are a wonderful tradition. Bursts of colour and light with a warm cup of hot chocolate. But the ones — you’ve no doubt heard them — that cause loud
T
irregular bangs just as you’re trying to fall asleep, snug in your bed — those can stop anytime now, please. Bang, bang, bang, bang. It starts to sound like we’re in a war zone. What a public nuisance it is. Some seem to regard running around the darkened streets setting these things off as some kind of right of passage — we venture to guess that the perpetrators are largely young people. Perhaps their parents even know about it — they did it when they were young and think it’s just some harmless fun.
ABOUT US
OTHER VIEWS
We’re just waiting for the inevitable story to hit the news about how someone has blown a hand off or disfigured themselves or someone else with them over the Halloween season. Because there are inherent dangers with running around in the dark lighting and lobbing things that are designed to explode. What if you hit that friend you’re horsing around with out there? Seems a silly risk to take. Then there are the pets to take into consideration. With the evenings getting dark so early now there are many cats and dogs still out and about.
They can be extremely frightened by the loud noise and light. A random toss could lead to someone losing their beloved pet. The SPCA and other animal organizations have been driven to putting out warnings this time of year, urging people to keep their pets indoors for this very reason. Along with the late-night fireworks detonations there also seems to come an inordinate amount of dropped trash that must then be cleaned up by municipal workers or local volunteers. We saw one worker doing just

that on a recent Sunday morning at a public park. Then there’s the downright nasty business of those who think Halloween is the time to egg everything in sight. We’re not sure where this tradition started, but we’d like to be able to say with assurance when it stopped — October 2013, preferably. Egging is particularly malicious, as the debris is smelly and difficult to clean up. Halloween should absolutely be a fun time. That fun time should just be without fireworks. And tossed eggs.
Woodruff’s statements about police misleading Re: Pot: whatever happened to common sense? I have never written to the paper before and I have not been following the movement to legalize pot, but after reading the letter sent in by Larry Woodruff I feel the need to respond. I am not responding so much to the idea of legalizing pot but to the idea that Mr. Woodruff has an obvious dislike for the police and his platform is misleading and skewed. Mr. Woodruff states that the police are “sheep-like provincial government best pals”. Well I hope so! The police are employees of the government and follow
laws that are imposed by the government. That IS their job. Mr. Woodruff also states that the police “wail and cry of criminal gangs and organized crime” and by using these terms they can receive more funding and justify “use of force”. All of this is associated with just pot being illegal? I think that the police monitor all illegal substance activity such as pot but also cocaine, meth, heroine, and many other highly addictive and harmful substances. If Mr. Woodruff thinks there is not any criminal gangs or organized crime he needs to get his head out of the sand and have a good look in his neighbourhood and/or community.
“The need for heavily armed squads of police” would still be necessary even if pot was legalized due the above mentioned drugs, gangs and organized crime. So Mr. Woodruff your case for legalizing pot based on reducing police cost holds no ground in my mind. As I mentioned in the beginning of this letter, I have not followed the movement and do not profess to have a lot of knowledge and facts concerning the legalization of pot, but “common sense” tells me that your facts are not accurate and are misleading. So Mr. Woodruff what did happen to common sense? Angela Byron Duncan
With the bad publicity recently in Victoria about an uncaring bus driver, we would like to comment on our positive experience with our local Cowichan Valley transit drivers. Over the Thanksgiving weekend we realized our car insurance had expired, so we decided to bus into Chemainus on Tuesday morning to renew it. It has been over 50 years since my husband last took a bus, and we had concerns as to how well he would manage as he has mobility issues and uses a walker due to his poor balance. The bus drivers, both going into Chemainus and back home to Crofton, were exceptional. They waited until we were properly seated and showed no signs of impatience with Grant’s slowness and my anxious questions about the location of bus stops. This was even though they had to make up travel time using the highway detour due to the Chemainus River bridge closure. We extend our sincere thanks to the two drivers of Route 6. They helped turn our silly oversight into a pleasant morning bus excursion. Liz Forbes and Grant Evans Crofton

Why tolerate unbreatheable air? This week the Cowichan Valley has had an Air Quality Advisory put in place by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment.

Men must speak up to end violence against women I was recently made aware of a crisis in Cowichan. The crisis is the staggering rate of relationship violence in the Valley. Violence in society is bad. Violence against women in society is an atrocity. What makes it a crisis, is that the rate of violence against women in the Cowichan Valley is twice the provincial average. I first believed that the crisis was something that I had no control over. I am a man, and I know that I would certainly never assault a woman. I then heard radio ads by the BC Lions, talking about Breaking the Silence to End the Violence. I really didn’t know what that meant, until I came across a video on Youtube by a man named Jackson Katz, PhD. In the video, he explains that violence against women is not a women’s issue; violence against women is a man’s issue. It is men who abuse women. It is men who stand by in bars, locker rooms, or poker tables, and listen to other men talk down about women…maybe jokingly, maybe seriously. It is men who dismiss the comments, or the behaviour without saying or doing anything, thinking that it isn’t their place to speak up, to stand up and say, NO, this is wrong. It is men of the Cowichan Valley, in business, in politics, in society, who must stand up and lead. And to get involved in the solutions to end violence against women and children in the Cowichan Valley. All men in Cowichan should be
(they are being ordered to remove the EPA stickers). Why are people willing to tolerate unbreatheable air? This does not happen in other parts of Canada. Jennifer Lawson Duncan

ashamed and alarmed in the knowledge that our rates of violence against women are so high in the Valley. Violence against women is not a women’s issue. The fault and the solution lie with men.

Globally, the statistics state that one in three women will be a victim of violence at the hands of a man. Much of this violence is sexual abuse. All men have mothers. Most have sisters, and daughters, cousins and nieces. It’s time that all men stand up to help protect the women they love. And in doing so, they will help protect someone else’s mothers, wives, and sisters. I support Cowichan Valley “Purple Light Nights” beginning Nov. 25. This is a community event that runs for 16 days to raise awareness of the issues of domestic violence. It involves the simple act of displaying purple lights. It is a small gesture, but it does have great significance. Awareness is the first step toward the solutions. I ask and urge all business leaders, politicians and residents to support the awareness campaign by displaying purple lights. I learned about this event through Facebook — Cowichan Together Against Violence. Together we can, indeed we must, make Cowichan a safe, warm land for all of its citizens. Ken Diewert Chemainus
kaemia, a fast expanding blood cancer . Since blood is everywhere in our body, from brain to toe, I wondered how they could treat it . First they kept him going through blood transfusions, then as chemotherapy began, it was blood transfusions that were his lifeline. At one sitting he would receive two pints “of red”, whole blood and a bag of platelets, which took five pints to create. This went on for eight months. Just imagine how related
he is to hundreds of people now. Blood brothers and sisters. Think about all the children with blood cancers, the hundreds of adults just in B.C. and each person is brimming over with thanks . His treatment then included a stem cell transplant — unspeakable generosity from a young man, some place in the world. So thank you, to all of you, you are a community of life spenders.

The City of Duncan Public Works Department will be undertaking annual water main flushing in the Duncan water system beginning the week of October 28, 2013 to ensure we continue to supply safe drinking water. At times this work will be done during the early morning hours to minimize any inconvenience; nevertheless, users may notice low water pressure and some discolouration. Should discolouration occur, simply allowing a cold water tap to run for a short period will help restore water quality to normal. Commercial establishments, such as Laundromats, Restaurants and Beauty Salons, will receive advance warning of flushing in their area. Any residents dependent on medical equipment using water please call the Public Works Department at 250-746-5321 for flushing dates. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Policy in works as grants balloon SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley Regional District board is going to put some hard work and thought into its grants-in-aid policy. The decision to tinker with — or completely overhaul — the policy comes after pressure from a collective of five prominent community groups that approached the CVRD asking to be permanently funded. 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. The CVRD’s regional services committee acknowledged Wednesday its current system isn’t right but that there is no cut and dried solution. Of the 28 regional districts in the province, 14 have grants-inaid programs, 14 don’t. Of the ones that do, each has different governing policies. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Mill Bay/Malahat Dir. Mike Walker, the committee’s chair, said it’s time to build a system that works for the CVRD and its’
applicants. “When you start seeing the different agencies coming every year and sitting on the edge of their seats as we’re having this conversation, wondering whether they’re going to get their funding for the following year…it’s something that this board has to deal with and we have to deal with it in a just and final manner,” Walker said. He doesn’t believe maintaining the status quo is doing anyone any favours. “I think policy should be set,” Walker said. “I think a limit should be set and that’s something we need to work on.” Over the last few years come budget deliberations, directors routinely acknowledge their dilemma: help fund groups that often give great value for their dollars, or to keep taxes down and risk losing valuable community assets. They then override their own policy, which most feel is inadequate. The CVRD has grappled with an increasing grants-in-aid program over the years — one that saw a token $5,100 handed out in 2003 to a high of $625,550 this year. Cobble Hill Dir. Gerry Giles identified two reasons for that inflation, including the province’s withdrawal of grant opportun-
ities for community groups. “They had nowhere to turn. It wasn’t our doing that we became the organization that they turned to, it was by default and by provincial government action,” she said. Funding of initiatives like the 2009 North American Indigenous Games and the Island Corridor Foundation’s rail project also accounted for the steep hikes, which aren’t expected to continue annually. But, it is the board’s inability to create annual funding functions for worthy repeat applicants like the Cowichan Sportsplex that’s got to change, Giles noted. For that to happen, the board needs to start thinking more regionally — something it has long struggled to do. “The difficulty that we’re having with this is the way that we are doing business around this board table,” Giles said. “We are often unable to come up with a solution to a vexing problem and that vexing problem is why should the south pay for something in the north or why should the west pay for something in the core community?” A sub-committee has been struck to look at how a new grants-in-aid policy could be shaped.

A construction site accident Monday morning has claimed the life of young flagperson Maggie Feeley. [CITIZEN FILE]
Two funds collecting to help Feeley’s family From page 1 remembered as a happy employee who excelled at her job. “She was always happy. I never had any complaints about her. The customers all liked her — right up to the last there where she was happy with the people in the car there, smiling at them.” Feeley had been directing a car out of a driveway behind the dump truck when she was struck. “It was the perfect storm,” Jorgensen said. “It’s something that will probably never happen again. It’s like something that never should have happened.” Duncan Paving manager Ken Wright said Wednesday his workers hadn’t been back to the worksite but he was going to meet with them to talk about a potential return. “I think I’m going to talk about it with all the guys and see how they feel,” Wright said. “I just don’t see us being there but if that’s therapeutic for the guys to be there, then we’ll feel that out.” Wright said the incident has taken a toll on his staff. “More so than I think you can ever predict,” he said. While Feeley was not an employee of Duncan Paving, the company is going to help ensure her family
is looked after. “I talked with Island Traffic Services, her employer, this morning, and we were going to let them take the lead but we’re going to work with them making sure financially that things are taken care of.” Wright said quite often there could be a gap before formal support kicks in and both companies — and the community — want to be there to bridge it. “Even though this person is not our employee I’m sure that we’re going to step up to the plate,” he said. Jorgensen confirmed a trust fund would be set up. On Thursday morning he was waiting for the company’s owner to arrive from Vancouver for the meeting. Jorgensen said his company’s fundraising efforts are not linked to a Facebook page called “Bottle Drive for Maggie the flagger” set up by Sherry Williams. A close friend of Feeley’s common law husband has also established a gofundme campaign (www.gofundme.com/4y66xs) where donations can be made online. Information about how to donate to the trust fund being set up by Feeley’s employer will be published once the details are ironed out.

Ferries in ‘affordability spiral’, pilot project proposed LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
There is “no silver bullet” to get rid of the problems facing BC Ferries and a big group of ferry advisory committee chairs (FACC) are asking the provincial government to increase funding for the service when they make up the 2014 budget. Keith Rush, chair of the Thetis/ Penelakut committee, sent the Citizen a copy of the group’s big presentation to the province. The problem is straightforward: communities need to be connected “in ways that are affordable, efficient and sustainable” but government doesn’t see the threat of service cuts the way riders do, according to the group. “We ask the government to review and adjust its plan so that it targets the core trouble: fares, falling traffic and government contribution,” the committees said in their submission, asking for a pilot plan of extra funding, calling it “smart spending” and “an investment in economic opportunity.” The FACC represents 13 coastal ferry advisory committees, who speak for the areas served by the 22 minor, northern and Sunshine Coast routes. So, what’s wrong with BC Ferries? “We believe the system is in trouble because it has hit an
The FACC has proposed three pilot scenarios to help the ailing B.C. ferry system get back on track. [CITIZEN FILE] affordability spiral. Fares are simply beyond what is reasonable and ever fewer people are paying,” the FACC said. Simply cutting service isn’t working, they said, adding, “There is no silver bullet; ferries cost what they cost, and it’s a deal for taxpayers.” An unaffordable ferry ride is a ferry ride not taken by many people, and it exemplifies the “affordability death spiral”. Another difficulty is the cost of keeping any ferry fleet going. “Cuts may decrease service costs, but capital costs continue

growing, adding to future fare hikes,” the said. But, the FACC asked, what if the province decided to try to stimulate ferry traffic? “We propose that the provincial government consider a pilot project for the remainder of this contract term. It would be to stop the decline in ferry traffic, and to start restoring the health of coastal communities.” The group offered three possible pilot scenarios that could be applied to the minor, northern and Sunshine Coast routes. • Scenario A: Freeze fares at cur-

rent 2014 levels. • Scenario B: Roll back fares 25 per cent in 2015, then increase them two per cent for 2016. • Scenario C: Roll back fares 13.4 per cent in each of 2015 and 2016. None of these efforts would be easy but any of them would show that the government is determined to keep coastal communities connected. Of the big three costs facing BC Ferries, labour costs are known and hopefully fuel costs are stabilizing, said the FACC. The big worry is the cost of replacing aging boats, according

Tyson
Wes
to the chairs. “The new additions to the fleet are mainly on the major and northern routes. On the minor routes, fleet renewal is only just starting, which means fares have yet to feel the impact of spending to meet those capital needs,” the group said. Putting off capital spending is not the way to go, they said, as seen by the Washington state ferries, who waited until 2007 to replace four boats that were 80 years old and condemned — a big capital expenditure all at once. The state ferry operators scrambled to rent replacements and the following year, the state budget committed $100 million to pay to build three new ferries. FACC members admit the government has probably been looking at the age of the fleet, the need to upgrade terminals, the need to upgrade information technology, and other projects. However, there is a need to involve everyone fully in finding a solution to the entire series of knotty problems. So-called fact-finding sessions by the corporation that ask questions based solely on cutting service are no way to gain the trust of islanders or coastal residents, the committee chairs said, repeating the theme that ferries should be considered part of the highways system.

Isabella has a lot to chat to her friends about. At Arcadian Early Learning she understands a lot more than how to write her name and wash her hands before lunch. Isabella is in a group of three- and four-year-olds who attend a full-day, play-based, program that is helping children prepare for kindergarten — and for life. “What’s your name?” she asks a new friend who shows up for his first day of child care. “Do you want to play ponies with me?” The new friend is shy and somewhat bewildered as he enters into a play space that many young children only dream about. Trains and cars, blocks and crafts, books and puppets all await the children who come daily to learn about who they are, what they like to do, and what it’s like to be in a social group. Isabella shadows the new boy during his first morning. She helps him to find the paper towels after he uses the bathroom and she makes sure the teacher knows he wants to join the group for snack. Outdoors, she stands up for him when an older child pours water over his head when he thinks the teachers aren’t looking. But Isabella is watching and she immediately steps in and lets the teachers know what has happened. “Water is not for pouring over his head,” she tells the child emphatically, repeating words she has heard the teachers say many times. “Water stays in the water table!” The boy who poured the water backs away sheepishly, finding a big yellow digger in the sandbox to play with. After the new boy comes back outside from having his head wiped with a towel, Isabella invites him to join her on the teeter totter. Soon they are laughing together bobbing up and down in a bouncy rhythm. Bullying behaviour doesn’t begin in the school yard. Early childhood educators see the early exploration of bullying in children as young as two years. Child care and preschool programs are often a child’s first experience out of the home and the culture of these early years programs will set the foundation for how children will cope in their later school years. If bullying behaviours go unnoticed in child care settings, it sends a strong message to both the bully and the victim that bullying is okay. Isabella knows that it is not okay. She is the kind of bystander who is willing to speak up and say what needs to be said. In doing so she is reinforcing the culture of the child care centre and helping her new friend feel safe and included. This year United Way dollars are supporting bullying prevention programs in four Cowichan Valley agencies. Arcadian Early Learning (Duncan Daycare Society) is very grateful to be included and to be part of this agent of change.

It’s hard to believe now, but the site of the Mayfair Mall was clay piles, ponds and tumbled structures as recently as the 1960s. Victoria has sure grown. [LYLE STAFFORD/TIMES COLONIST] standards) buys? I still use a three-foot-long steel ruler in my shop that cost me $1.49. Mind you, regular gas cost 38.9 cents per gallon in those days. (That’s right, per gallon!) As a final bit of trivia, CIBC is Mayfair’s oldest tenant, having been there from the start, and an estimated 168.7 million shoppers have visited Mayfair since its opening. All of which is a far, far cry from my frog-catching days! Another trip down Memory Lane was occasioned by last week’s closing of Capitol 6, Victoria’s pioneer multiplex theatre which opened on Blanshard in 1981. Now, sad to say, that’s after my childhood days. But it put me in mind of how we kids spent each and almost every Saturday.
That was Movie Day. Not at the Capital 6 on Blanshard but on Victoria’s Theatre Row, Yates Street. That’s where Famous Players’ original Capital Theatre was located, along with the Dominion and the Odeon. I’m sure there were more than just these three, but their names escape me at present. The Royal Theatre was a block away and I do remember the Rio, way down on Government Street, almost in Chinatown, which I attended only once, to see The Wizard of Oz. That one sticks in my mind because it was advertised as technicolour but starts out black and white. How we screamed blue murder in protest! We’d been cheated! We wanted colour!

Which, of course, we got, once the movie got underway and Dorothy and Toto are swept up by the tornado. Usually, there were screams of delight at the Saturday matinees when Hollywood westerns were the order of the day: James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart to me), Randolph Scott, the Duke, etc. And Tarzan and gangster flicks. All very edifying, of course, and they contributed immensely, I’m sure, to the making of the men we became. Perhaps I should explain that, to choose your movie, you went to a specific theatre as opposed to a multiplex with its varied fare under a single roof. But, in that long ago day, you usually got a matinee movie, a cartoon and newsreels, sometimes more. With money enough left over from your allowance to buy fish and chips next door to the Odeon and bus fare home. Try that today! I know, I know, I’ve said it before: they’re not making the good old days any more.

RYAN, Donald BRUCE James August 17, 1941- October 2, 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone Fishing with White Caps to Join Marioâ&#x20AC;? .
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce on October 2, 2013 at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox, BC. Bruce was born in Vancouver, BC to his mother, Dorothy Plumb, where he was soon after adopted by parents Don and Doris Ryan of New Westminster, BC. After graduating from Lester Pearson High School he attended the University of British Columbia where he studied Commerce. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for fishing began as a young man when he began deckhanding for Canadian Fishing Company. He later worked as a dockworker and longshoreman at Pacific Coast Terminal. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment with Continental Explosives brought him and his wife of 30 years, Cameron Spencer Ryan (predeceased him in 1996), to Nanaimo, BC where they raised their boys, Drew and Darcy. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later employment brought him to Menzies Bay Division in Campbell River as a driller blaster for MacMillan Bloedel. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the outdoors prompted many family camping and fishing adventures. Bruce spent the last nine years of his life with his loving wife Donna Vye, living in Comox and on their 50 foot yacht, Rana III in Nanaimo. Together they fulfilled many of their dreams fishing, boating, traveling, visiting family and friends, and making wondrous memories. To the end of his life, Bruce shared his passions and interests with friends and family. Bruce is lovingly remembered by his wife Donna Vye (Clements), son Darcy of Nanaimo, BC (Jesse), son Drew and Christine of Tofino, BC (Tylan and Tayte); sister Maureen of Twin Lakes, BC (Donnie and Julie), and many other relatives and friends. A Celebration of Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at the Nanaimo Yacht Club on Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Agency or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Cozens of Lake Cowichan on October 21, 2013. Jean is survived by her husband Bill, brothers Ken (Anne) and Ron (Shirley), sisters Arlene (Len) and Judy, son Marty (Sue), daughter Charlene (Markus), step-daughters Karmen and Candice, and grandsons Lukas, Liam and Logan Wenzel. Born in Edmonton in 1941, Jean moved to Victoria in her 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with her young family. She worked for 26 years at the Law Courts, retiring to Lake Cowichan in 1996. Despite a short and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, Jean was grateful for her many healthy years of retirement, travelling the world, boating and skiing, enjoying her grandsons immensely, annual trailering trips to Mexico with Bill, and building a new home on the lake. Jean hiked with Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Tread and the Duncan Hiking Club. She set up the Cowichan Lake â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retreadsâ&#x20AC;?, brought the Terry Fox run back in 2011, and explored with the Cowichan Valley ATV Club. She was a regular among the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Hattersâ&#x20AC;?, enjoyed bridge and scrabble, and her love of badminton took her to the 96 Atlanta Games as an official. Her spirit blossomed in retirement, as could be seen by the wide, infectious smile that will so be missed. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her honour can be made to the Victoria Hospice, where she spent her final days. Heartfelt thanks to the amazing staff, and friends and family who went out of their way to make Jean comfortable: Willa, Candice, Penny, Charlene, and Edie. A celebration of her life will be held at the Cowichan Lake Curling Club on Saturday, November 9th from 1-4. On line condolences at www.hwwallacecbc.com
HUTCHINSON, William Jeffery 15 December, 1928 - 16 October, 2013 Survived by his wife, Dr. Sandra Sudmant, and family members who reside in British Columbia, Scotland and England. Jeff was born in the house of his parents at Gosforth, Newcastle, Northumbria, England on the 15th day of December, 1928. As a young man he joined the Royal Navy, serving from 1947 until 1949. He immigrated to Canada in 1950 and joined the R.C.A.F. His military career as a transport pilot took him around the world. Flying the Hercules Transport C-130 on missions to trouble zones like Korea, Kashmir and Cyprus, he became part of the renowned Canadian Peacekeepers. In 1988 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, and Jeff, along with those who served with him, was named as sharing the honour. A modest man, he rarely mentioned the recognition of his contribution, and many who knew him were unaware of this part of his history. In 1974 he ended his military career, retiring as a Squadron Leader. During the ensuing years, (19741986) Jeff flew for the Department of Transport as a check pilot. Flying across the country, he felt a particular attraction to the Arctic and Coastal B.C., hearing the siren call of ocean scattered with islands, and determined to live on the Pacific side of the continent. He landed into full retirement on Saltspring Island, then later in Duncan. He loved to look out across the water and monitor the passing boats. His life settled into happy quiet routine, the enjoyment of literature, travelogues and walks along native trails. He was a learned reader as well as a devoted cryptic crossword player. He loved the hunt for words, and kept a reference library devoted to the cause. All who knew him recognized him as a gentleman of thoughtful good taste and kind consideration. His last days ended as he wished, shared lovingly with Sandy beside him. He walked along the beach watching the water lift the boats at their mooring. He settled into his favourite chair. Just as life began for Jeff at home, so too, it quietly ended, his last breath taken in the comforting surround of home.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Daryl Ryzak. Daryl was born in Chemainus on November 5, 1954. He was predeceased by his mother Freda. He will be lovingly remembered by all his family; his father George, his daughter Tanya (two grandchildren â&#x2C6;&#x2019; Elijah and Isaiah), his sisters Georgia (Nikos), Tanya and Tammy (Ron), his brothers Randy and Ian, his stepsister Susan, his stepbrother Chris and his stepmother Peggy, his aunts Ethal and Anne and several nieces and nephews. Daryl grew up in the Cowichan Valley â&#x2C6;&#x2019; a place very dear to his heart. Daryl loved the woods and the rivers and streams. Fishing and hiking were his great joys. For some time Daryl lived close to two nieces and two nephews and he so much enjoyed time spent with them (Carmen and Bethany, Elijah and Jordan). Daryl also derived great satisfaction from his excellent art work. Darylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep love for God gave him peace and comfort. A celebration of Darylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday, October 26, at the H.W. Wallace Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Road. at 1 pm.

Second-half spree gives Bulldogs bounce-back win over Titans KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

DCS charges toward volleyball provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
As they continue to prepare to host the provincial single-A championships next month, the Duncan Christian School Chargers, who are ranked third in the province, finished sixth of 10 teams at the B.C. Christian School volleyball tournament last weekend. The Chargers got off to a promising start as they thumped Lions Gate Christian Academy of North Vancouver 25-4, 25-14 in their opener. They suffered setbacks in their next two matches, however, being swept by B.C.’s third-ranked AA team, Langley Christian 25-16, 25-17, and the fourth-ranked singleA team, Credo Christian, 25-14, 25-22. Next up was Pacific Academy, who DCS defeated 25-17, 19-25, 17-15. The Chargers then lost another three-set match to Surrey Christian, 17-25, 25-18, 15-10. In the thrilling battle for fifth and sixth places, DCS was defeated by Victoria’s Pacific Christian 25-22, 22-25, 16-14. A week earlier, the DCS senior girls gained valuable experience in a tournament at Cedar Secondary. The Chargers lost 25-23, 26-24 to a strong Gulf Islands team, then fell to Wellington in two sets before taking John Barsby to three sets in a loss. They started the playoffs against Lambrick Park, the top-ranked AA team in the province, without star Danielle Groenendijk, who had a family commitment. The Chargers fell in that one, but found enough strength afterward to take Wellington to three sets in a loss, then defeat Gulf Islands in a rematch, 25-22, 23-25, 17-15. The senior boys team will play host to an invitational tournament this Friday and Saturday, featuring Gulf Islands, Parkland, Belmont, Abbotsford Christian, Nanaimo District, Ulcluelet, Highland, Woodlands and Credo Christian. Games begin Friday at 12:30 p.m., with DCS facing Gulf Islands and NDSS taking on Highlands. The Chargers also play at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. on Friday, and 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Playoff matches go at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., and 12:45 and 2 p.m., with the finals and third-place game at 3:15 p.m.

After watching one of their own go down to injury, the Cowichan Bulldogs mounted a huge comeback in the second half of last Sunday’s midget football showdown at McAdam Park, defeating the White Rock Titans 21-10. The Titans were already up by a touchdown, and were trying to kick a field goal in the final seconds of the first half when linebacker and captain Nick Thomas was hurt. An ambulance was called, but the injury was less severe than it could have been, and Thomas was sidelined with a bruised vertebra. The Bulldogs’ best play of the opening half came late in the first quarter and early in the second, highlighted by an Eddy Walt catch that got the team to the two-yard line. After two unsuccessful attempts to punch it in, kicker Darian [Wiggy] Slater was summoned and managed a single point. “Being so close to the goal line, it was at a weird angle for Darian, who missed but still kicked it into the parking lot,” head coach Opie Williams related. The Titans took the ball on their own 35-yard line and used some great runs and a Cowichan penalty to get into field goal range. The Bulldogs were called for making contact with the kicker when the Titans tried for three, giving White Rock a first down on the 15-yard line, and they took advantage of that position to score a touchdown. Because of Thomas’s injury, the last seconds of the second quarter were played after the halftime break, and the Titans managed to kick a field goal, giving themselves a 10-0 lead going into the proper second half. The Bulldogs took over on the first offensive play of the third quarter, getting a 67-yard run from Drayson Price to reach the one-yard line, and Liam Palcu-Johnston easily completed the

Price added a touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter, and Slater kicked a pair of field goals. “We were missing several players including three or four starting receivers,” said Williams. “But Niko Stephenson had a great game making some big blocks and key catches. Eddy Walt also did a great job stepping up to the wide receiver position.” The defence was already missing linebackers Kole Lochbaum and Wyatt MacWatt before Thomas went down, but made the necessary adjustments to shut the door in the second half. “A lot of guys were filling in at different positions and did a great job shut-
ting down the Titans in the second half, not allowing any points,” said the coach. Andrew Ketola put the last nail in the Titans’ coffin with a game-ending interception. The midget Bulldogs will head to Maple Ridge on Saturday to play the Meadow Ridge Knights. Cowichan has locked up a home date for the first round of the playoffs on Nov. 17. The bantam Nanaimo/Cowichan RedDogs were scheduled to play North Delta at McAdam Park last Sunday, but had to forfeit the game after suffering extensive injuries the week before. The Red Dogs will head to Langley this weekend.

Legacy renewed at QMS KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Until this year, Queen Margaret’s School hadn’t had a competitivelevel field hockey team in recent memory, but the school, which is back on track this season, was once a power in the sport. Field hockey has been part of the school since it was founded in 1921, and in its early years, QMS was frequently a source of provincial and national team players. The Bridgman Cup, now one of the most prestigious high school tournaments in B.C., was started by QMS in 1937. “There is a legacy here,” said Hayley Picard, who coaches the school’s senior team along with Marlene Donaldson. “And I hope we can share it with the girls and have them have pride in it as well.” After fielding a recreational junior team for the last few years, QMS has a competitive senior team this fall. The junior players — and there are many of them — play up with the seniors, facing opponents often made up solely of older players. The Royals also train once a week on the Cowichan Sportsplex’s John Ferreira turf, a huge upgrade over the grass field where they have usually practiced. “Four or five of our players came up through the [Cowichan Field Hockey] Junior Development Program,” said Picard. “So for them, it’s like coming home. For some of the other girls who have been with us for a couple of years, the turf

Picard. “I’m happy they’ve been able to experience a competitive team, a competitive league. For the Grade 8s, it has been wonderful for them, and we’ll see them continue to grow.” One of the few in-between players on the team is Duncan-raised goalie Robin Fleming, who has drawn accolades from opposing coaches up and down the Island. “They’ve commented on how strong she is technically,” said Picard. “She has become the backbone of our defensive end. The players trust her.” An accomplished forward in ice hockey, Fleming has found a passion for field hockey as well. “She’s very professional,” said Picard. “She likes training, and she likes training hard. That level of commitment is rare in someone so young. She’s constantly looking to improve.” QMS is now gearing up for the Island AA tournament at the University of Victoria this Friday and Saturday, where the Royals will join local entries Shawnigan Lake School and Brentwood College, along with three other schools. The top two finishers will advance directly to provincials, while the third- and fourth-place teams will have a chance to make it as wild cards. “That is absolutely our goal,” said Picard. “Especially being a competitive team this year. Number one, we want to play our best and have the girls be confident and proud. Reaching provincials would be icing on the cake.”

Ridenour wins Island XC title KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Two athletes from Cowichan Valley schools finished among the top three in the girls event at the Vancouver Island high school cross-country championships in Victoria on Wednesday. Desirae Ridenour, a 13-yearold Grade 9 student at Frances Kelsey, out-paced the field to complete the 4.5km course in 15 minutes and 55 seconds, four seconds ahead of Parkland senior Chloe Hegland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just sort of run, and see if

Cowichan went ahead early on a goal by the hardworking Matt Fitzgibbon, tapping in a long free kick by Adam Taft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let up,â&#x20AC;? said Rowl-

Ridenour told the Times Colonist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anyone to keep up with on Wednesday. In third place was Madison Hesterman of Queen Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in 16:26. Ridenour also led Kelsey to third place in the team standings. The top 20 individual finishers in the girls and boys races will advance to the provincial championships at Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aldergrove Lake Park on Nov. 2.

The Cowichan Rugby Football Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three senior teams travelled to Nanaimo last Saturday for a triple-header with the Hornets, and came home with a trio of victories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a club, we were extremely happy about that,â&#x20AC;? said menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach Gord McGeachy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while.â&#x20AC;? The day began with the senior women beating Nanaimo 22-15, followed by a 55-0 win by the Cowichan Thirds, and capped off with a narrow 18-17 victory for the First Division Piggies. For the women, it marked the first win of the season, and revenge for a loss to Nanaimo earlier in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last time we played them, we were short players and only lost by two tries,â&#x20AC;? said Cowichan captain Sherry Spence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend we had a full squad.â&#x20AC;? Laura Russell returned from a
ings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept coming at them and they were lucky to not be down three at the half.â&#x20AC;? The second half, however, was a different story. Cowichan lost a few players to injuries, and spent the entire half trying to keep up. Saanich scored at 31 and 41 minutes to win 2-1. Cowichan Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-game winning streak came to an end, but Rowlings is confident that his team can get back on track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have the squad we have been building towards and should be able to inch our way back up the standings,â&#x20AC;? he said. United will be home to Nanaimo at the Ladysmith turf this Friday at 7 p.m.

concussion she suffered in the first game of the year to score three tries, and Jamaina McLeod added one, while Tanja Ness kicked a conversion. The Thirds dominated their match, led by Russell Robertson, who scored two tries and kicked five conversions. Ryan Spooner and Gabe Farrell also scored twice, and Jordan Weisner, Antonio Corbin and Aaron Corbin added singles. Dean Robin also played a strong game as he moved from winger to flanker. After the two big wins, the Firsts carried the momentum over into the first half of their game, taking an 18-5 lead on tries by Louis
Gudmundseth and David Cowie, and two penalties and a conversion by Owen Wood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played a very good first half,â&#x20AC;? said McGeachy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved the ball around the field well.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the same story in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty much right off the kickoff in the second half, we lost all momentum,â&#x20AC;? said McGeachy. The kickoff bounced right in the middle of four players, none of whom fielded it, and the Piggies got pinned deep in their own end for most of the half. Even then, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all negative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong character and great defence enabled us to only give up 12 points and hold on for the victory,â&#x20AC;? McGeachy noted. The three teams will go their separate ways this weekend. The Firsts are home on Saturday at 1 p.m. against Velox Academy, while the women travel to UVic. The Thirds will head to Powell River on Sunday.

In Division 3, The Cowichan Stellers won 3-1 over the Demons on the strength of two goals by Steph Yeats and one by Olivia Burton, while Kyla Birchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal gave the Cowichan Kestrels a 1-1 tie with the Devils.
