AND THE WINNER IS: THE SHEPPARD FAMILYFrom the spider that glowers from the roof to the pop-up graves in front Steve and Jocelyn Sheppard of Chemainus went all out to turn their front yard into the spookiest and most fun front yard in the Cowichan Valley this Halloween. There are so many decorations we couldn’t even get them all in one photo. Daughter Kennadie, right, and her friend Marley Ollett enjoy the display Wednesday afternoon as the big night — Oct. 31 — draws ever closer.Jocelyn said the display takes a day to put up and it all gets stored in the Halloween room of the house the rest of the year. Their Christmas display is equally impressive, said neighbours.[ANDREA RONDEAU/CITIZEN]

Child porn scam banks on victims’ disgustSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A Duncan man was surprised to learn his personal computer was being used to distribute child por-nography all over the Internet.

Except that it wasn’t. It’s just the most recent telephone scam making the rounds.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a complaint recently while the would-be victim was

still on the phone with the sus-pected scammers.

The suspect, who identified himself as Shawn Patrick, told the man that he was an investi-gator from Cyber Crimes Control Board of Canada, a body he said works with law enforcement.

Patrick was able to tell the complainant what his IP address was and went on to say that the man’s computer was being used

for child porn distribution.Patrick wanted access to the

computer so as to put a stop to it. “Our complainant knew this

was a bad idea but he was then connected to another man who identified himself as Alfred Jones. He gave his address as 269 Laurier Ave., in Ottawa and said his phone number was 613-482-6363,” said a press release issued by the North Cowichan/Duncan

RCMP detachment. “Our complainant knew this

sounded pretty hokey and that’s when he put the scammer on hold and called the police.”

Mounties quickly confirmed it was indeed a scam and the man did not hand over control of his computer to the scammer.

“We also informed our com-plainant that the RCMP conduct their own investigations and we

do not contract out to private companies,” said the release, not-ing if police suspected an individ-ual of possessing or distributing child pornography they wouldn’t phone that person up and ask to access their computer.

“Expect a knock at the door and a warrant in hand,” said the release.

DUNCAN, BC – Craig Sabourin, General Manager of Peter Baljet GM, today announced plans for a one-day sales event that will feature cars selling for as low as just $99. This incredible event is called the $99 SlashDOWN Sale for the simple fact that the posted prices on every pre-owned vehicle will be slashed by $3500 to $7500, with some selling for as low as just $99! There will be Over 10 vehicles selling for under $10,000!

The one-day sales event is scheduled to take place thisSaturday, with registration starting at 9:00AM. When asked what prompted the idea, Sabourin explained, “Due to an overstock of pre-owned inventory resulting from a surge of recent late model trade-ins, our inventory levels are at a high. In order to immediately reduce current inventory levels we will be slashing posted prices by thousands for ONE day only. On Saturday, June

27th auto shoppers can expect vehicles marked at $25,000 to be slashed below $14,000, vehicles marked at $25,000 to be slashed below $14,000 (eg; 2014 Chevrolet Cruze), vehicles marked at $12,000 to be slashed down below $8,000 (eg; 2006 Pontiac) and vehicles marked at $9,000 to be slashed down below $5,000 (eg; 2005 Dodge) – and of course a few $5,000 vehicles will be slashed down to the incredible price of just $99 (eg; 2008 Chevrolet Aveo, 1988 GMC S Truck, 2002 Buick Century).

We’re confident that everyone will get an incredible deal... and have fun in the process!”It couldn’t be easier to participate: Simply visit PeterBaljet GM to register and “for those shoppers looking for the $99 cars, you better come early, as an offer like this rarely happens,” says Sabourin.

Sabourin asserts, “Everyone will

have a great time and buyers should drive off with a big smile on their face, having saved thousands!” This SlashDOWN event is the exact opposite of an auction, where bidding drives prices up. Posted prices will be marked down ONE time to a Rock Bottom price that will delight auto buyers and eliminate any need to haggle! In short, this event will provide buyers the perfect opportunity to purchase a quality used car at the lowest possible price.This event will feature around50 preowned cars, trucks, vans

The incident is a definite reminder not to provide personal information to anyone over the phone that you wouldn’t give to a stranger on the street, North Cow-ichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday noted.

“The shear ugliness of this type of crime would have us wanting to get it off of our computers as quickly as possible without ques-tioning the caller further and this

is the reaction the scammers are hoping for,” Hobday said.

It wasn’t a Cinderella story and it wasn’t a slipper but Nor th Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are looking to reunite the an Adidas sandal with its owner — and then perhaps put him or her in jail.

Two suspects left the shoe behind after an incident at the Cowichan Commons Walmart Sept. 10 that saw one of them threaten to shoot a security guard before making off with two power drills, among other items.

The duo, a male and female in their twenties, fled in a sil-

ver four door sedan with the Alberta licence plate BRH2861. Police say the plates do not match the car.

Only the shoe was left behind.“The male yelled at the loss

prevention officer that he would shoot him if he continued to fol-low them,” said a press release issued by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday.

The two suspects are both described as Caucasian.

The female has long blonde hair with dark roots. She was wearing a white tank top and short shorts at the time of the theft.

Her partner had short brown hair and had sunglasses on top of his head. He sported a dark t-shirt with a Hurley logo on the chest.

Those with information about this or any other crime are encouraged to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Those providing information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illicit drugs could be eligible for a cash award.

The old adage rings true for this one: if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

Yet another scam is circulating around the Cowichan Valley. This one involves yellow cards in the mail telling recipients they’ve won prizes.

And handy prizes too: $100 in gas rebates available at Esso, Shell, Petro-Canada and more.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP heard the other day from a skeptical resident who had received such a card.

Upon calling the 1-800 number it offered, police learned the card-holder needed to provide their credit or bank card informa-tion to pay a $3 processing fee in order to claim the prize.

“If you win a prize you should not have to pay anyone for it to be delivered to you, whether it’s shipping charges or a processing fee,” explained North Cow-ichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. “You won it, that means it should be free! Please do not offer your credit card or banking information to any-one over the phone or through your com-puter that you wouldn’t feel comfortable handing to a complete stranger on the street.”

Hobday strongly suggests would-be “win-ners” consider all possibilities that this and other contest offers may be scams.

This time, the head’s-up complainant walked away without handing over person-al information so all’s well that ends well.

“We can all be enticed by an unexpected prize but we must remember, if it seems too good to be true, then it usually is,” Hob-day noted.

Check your credit card and banking statements regularly and report any suspi-cious activity or charges to your financial institution.

Yellow cards in the mail a scam: do not give out info

Cowichan Lake district residents can learn more about the application by Catalyst Paper for changes in its oper-ation of the Cowichan Lake weir at a spe-cial meeting at Centennial Hall in Lake Cowichan on Thursday, Nov. 5, starting at 6 p.m.

Mayor Ross Forrest said Oct. 27, “With lake levels up and rainfall events forecast for the next two weeks, the boat lock gate will be in the fully raised position and the weir will be shut down for the wet season.

“The lake levels might be at a safe level now but to safeguard against future low level concerns Catalyst Paper is being proactive by submitting an application that will allow it to pump water from the lake if the need for that should arise in 2016 or 2017.”

Part of this application involves com-munity consultation and that will begin with an informational open house.

There has been widespread interest in the Cowichan River this year as the sum-mer’s extended dry spell highlighted the need for a new look at management of the entire watershed.

Waking up in the dark is a real-ity for many now that old man winter is rolling in. It won’t be long until commuters will be driving home in the dark as well. With that comes a host of chal-lenges and potential hazards, according to local road safety coordinator Kate Woochuck.

With Daylight Saving Time ending at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, Woochuck believes now is the time to remind those plan-ning to be out and about this win-ter to make sure they are visible.

Woochuck and ICBC are work-ing with Carol-Ann Rolls, man-ager of Cowichan Community Policing’s volunteer programs and services, to remind pedes-trians, cyclists and motorists of the hazards shorter daylight hours, inclement weather and reduced visibility bring.

“Crashes with pedestrians spike dramatically in fall and winter as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease,” Woochuk said. “When you’re walking, make eye contact, wear bright and reflect-ive clothing, and stay focused on the road. When you’re driving, take extra time to look for pedes-

trians before turning, avoid dis-tractions and be ready to yield.”

She recommends motorists avoid distractions and be more aware of pedestrians and cyclists, check twice, yield to pedestrians and be ready to stop.

Community Policing volunteers have partnered again this year with ICBC Road Safety to help raise awareness of the import-ance of pedestrian visibility.

Anyone using the roads — ped-estrians, those on scooters, cyc-lists and equestrians — is encour-aged to stop by the Community Policing offices on Canada Avenue and pick up a free person-al reflector. The reflector should be attached to clothing or gear so that it swings freely along the side of your body facing traffic.

“Working with our road safety partners, we are pleased to see the return of the ‘We want to see more of you’ campaign this year,” Rolls said. “We are committed to contributing to community safety, and we hope that this campaign will continue to shift behaviours and encourage ped-estrian safety.”

Be on the lookout for volunteers in the community trying to bring the message home.

Dogs return home from walk stoned

Two weeks ago after taking our two dogs for their usual morning walk in Shawnigan Lake, Brixton showed very unusual behaviour. He is our three-year-old Boston terrier. The other pup is Honey, a four-month-old Boston, and she is a foster doggie (today).

Both dogs laid down on the rug when they arrived home. Usual-ly, they are lively and happy after their exercise.

Brix appeared to have been poisoned.

He was rushed to the vet who took one look in his eyes and stated that the dog was stoned!

Marijuana apparently was the culprit.

Upon returning home, Honey showed the same symptoms.

Both dogs recovered after a sound sleep.

When we walk the dogs, they are leashed and allowed to be dogs, since it is their walk, not ours.

The veterinarian was right and said that this is quite a common occurrence around here. Most likely a discarded joint butt, or a plant growing in the ditch, was the cause.

A friend had her two dogs show opposite behaviour (hyper and restless) after ingesting some mushrooms.

Apparently this is harvest time for the pot crop, so it is ripe and doesn’t take a lot to affect small dogs — 25 and 16 pounds of healthy energy.

What a surprise (and a mean trick), if that is what happened. Good thing it wasn’t a little kid.

Prime minister should be chosen by ballot

Re: “We need electoral reform in Canada” (John Mowat Steven, Oct. 23,)

John Steven proposes that we have proportional representa-tion, in which an attempt is made to have the number of seats which a party wins in an election proportional to the number of votes which each party wins across Canada: a party which gets 40 per cent of the votes gets 40 per cent of the seats in Parliament. But it seems that countries around the world which have proportional representation rarely have one of their parties get a majority of the vote. In Canada, this would make it difficult for our

Governor General to meet his requirement to appoint as prime minister the person who has the support of the majority of the members of parliament.

The first order of business in a newly elected parliament is to exercise a parliamentary stand-ing order to have a majority of the members of parliament elect a Speaker of the House by secret ballot. I propose that we have a second order of busi-ness to have a majority elect a prime minister by secret ballot, a prime minister who obviously has the support of the majority of the members of parliament, who would be accountable to the members of parliament and who could select his Cabinet from all parties. My research indi-cates that the creation of such

a parliamentary standing order does not require any changes to the constitution or the intro-duction of new legislation. All it requires is the approval of the members of parliament of a new parliamentary standing order.

The election by secret ballot of the prime minister of Canada by the elected members of par-liament would introduce democ-racy into parliament and would simplify and serve electoral reforms such as proportional representation and the elimin-ation of political parties. The prime minister who introduces such a standing order may go down in history as the creator of a modern “Magna Carta”.

Most people don’t really like the Alternative Approval Process,

including many politicians serv-ing on local governments.

But we urge people to think long and hard before totally throwing the baby out with the bathwater with the current AAPs before the public.

These are important items to consider on their own, apart from whatever distaste you may feel towards AAPs in general.

Things like the future of flood management in the Valley deserve more than to be dis-missed out of hand because you

don’t like AAPs.The Alternative Approval Pro-

cess is far from a perfect system. It requires 10 per cent of elec-tors to fill out forms and turn them in to the local government to defeat immediate approval of the expenditure. The item may still go ahead if the local government then goes to refer-endum on the question and gets a majority.

Given the general apathy of the voting public towards local government most of the time (just look at the pathetic muni-cipal voting numbers), it can be difficult to reach that 10 per

cent threshold. It usually takes a fairly coordinated effort by an individual or group actively soliciting “no” from an area’s voters.

But it’s not fair to blame our local Valley governments for the AAP process. They didn’t think it up. It is the process they are supposed to use. And in some ways, in using it, they are responding directly to the voters who complain about local gov-ernments wasting money.

Because for all its faults, the AAP costs a fraction of what a referendum costs, yet still give voters some kind of voice.

We’ve never been fans of the idea that every decision should be put before the public in a referendum vote. It’s a cumber-some, expensive and time-con-suming notion.

And voter apathy is an equal problem in using referenda as a measure of public support.

We elect people for a reason: to make decisions for our commun-ities. If we were making all the decisions by constant voting it would be a council of thousands and totally unworkable.

It’s not a simple equation. But let’s not cut off our noses to spite our face.

AAP for arts underhandedSeems to me that the $130,000 the CVRD

board spent on a communications manager — money saved from “unexpected under-ex-penditures” — would have covered this. Just another underhanded attempt to sneak permanent increases in budget past the vot-ers. They must be stopped! Vote no! Lefebure is the linchpin to this continuing travesty. Other than in our Valley, three to four per cent was the 2015 tax increase. Attend a board meeting and listen to the shame-faced directors reassuring each other these expenditures are for everyone’s benefit.

Ethical double-standard typically Conservative

David Lloyd protests (‘Inappropriate to endorse Candidate’, Oct. 23) because certain CVRD directors and other local civic representatives endorsed one of the candidates standing in last week’s federal general election — in Lloyd’s mind, a ‘completely inappropriate’ action.

So one wonders how he reacted to the spectacle of soon-to-be former PM Stephen Harper shamelessly cavorting with Rob Ford, self-confessed sub-stance abuser and former Toronto may-or (although still a city counsellor), at a rally held in support of the Conserva-tive Party of Canada that Ford and the so-called ‘Ford Nation’ organized just before election day.

Will Mr. Lloyd now write another letter of protest about this further example of ‘completely inappropriate’ behaviour on the part of elected civic representatives? Better not hold our breaths waiting for that to happen: hypocrisy and ethical double-standards seem to be deeply ingrained charac-teristics of the Conservative Party of Canada and its supporters.

MS programs will continue after offi ce closure

The South and Central Vancouver Island Chapter of the MS Society of Canada is proud of the service we have been providing to the Cowichan Valley for more than 15 years.

During this time, we have delivered programs and services to people living with multiple sclerosis in our local and surrounding communities, as well as their families and loved ones who are also affected by this disease.

To improve access and provide con-sistent service to all people living with MS in our region, the Duncan office of our South and Central Vancouver Island Chapter is moving to a mobile arrangement — modelled after suc-cessful operations in other areas of the province, such as Nanaimo.

This change allows us to improve our flexibility and availability via phone and email and to travel throughout our region to meet with our members in person, while significantly decreasing expenses.

To ensure that the donations we receive are being directed to where they are needed most — funding much needed research, programs and servi-ces — we will be closing the physical office space in Duncan as of Nov. 30.

It is important to share that all high-quality programs, services and events will continue in the Cowichan Valley.

The arts and crafts support group, tai chi classes and education sessions will remain centrally located in downtown Duncan.

Our six MS Walk events on Vancou-ver Island (including the Duncan MS Walk) and our MS Bike–Cowichan Grape Escape will continue to raise funds for the entire region, from Vic-toria through the south and central island to Parksville/Qualicum and Port Alberni.

The public and members may con-tinue to call 250-748-7010, and one of our staff members will be happy to provide information and answer questions.

Information and resources will always be available on our website at www.mssociety.ca.

We thank our members of the Cow-ichan Valley for their support during this time of transition.

Not enough information to fi ll out recycling changes survey

Re: Waste collection surveyI’ve heard two rumours regarding the

waste removal survey that people should know are false. Unfortunately, when faced with a lack of information, people tend to fill the void with what they hear.

The first rumour is that the CVRD will contract out the expanded services, if implemented, to local businesses such as PAN Disposal, who happen to be the company serving Mill Bay. While this sounds good, a quick call to PAN and the owner Andrea Davis proves that nothing could be further from the truth. She told me there has been no communication with her company about the survey or the overall plan; and having the CVRD collect the waste could result in the loss of employment for six families.

The second rumour is that the rates shown on the survey card appear low because Multi-Materials BC is providing significant funding to the CVRD to subsi-dize expanded collection. Another quick review, this time of the CVRD’s own web-site, shows that the funding is just $34 per household per year (about a week’s worth of lattes). Perhaps that is not even enough to cover the cost of the additional totes the CVRD says households will get free for additional services. No large sub-sidies or funding. Another rumour killed.

Personally, I don’t feel comfortable that I know all the information. Therefore, it is difficult to believe the information placed in front of me, such as the annual costs and how they were calculated, let alone the rumours. So how can I, or any-one, provide an honest survey response?

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Off-road vehicle registration and liability insurance are mandatory on Crown land as of Nov. 1.

That means that if you haven’t got your paperwork for your ATV or trail bike done yet, you’ve got to get moving.

The new regulations pro-mote safe and responsible use of B.C.’s backcountry, and include provisions on number plate placement, rules for child operators and safety equipment requirements.

But that’s not all, according to Mike Lees of the Cowichan Valley ATV Club.

ATV owners were urged to get licenced starting last year.

“It was available last fall. I did it as soon as it came out,” he said.

“If you are riding on Crown land, which includes forest ser-vice roads, then you must have liability insurance. However, if you are only riding on your own private property, you still have to have it registered but you’re not required to have the licensing.”

The Crown land aspect is pretty simple to figure out, he said.

“In order to cross the road at a stop sign, you must have insur-ance. If you cross the highway, if you’re out trespassing on TimberWest or Island Timber-lands or whatever, you still have to get there and in order to travel on a gazetted forest ser-vice road, you need insurance.”

Have ATV owners been call-ing for this registration?

“Well, one of the things that’s been happening is that there have been huge thefts of unregistered ATVs and dirt bikes throughout the province. So there have been calls for licensing from Quad Riders ATV Association of B.C. The only bad thing about it is that now the government, in their wisdom, has decided that if you bought it from somebody else they’re going to hit you for tax if you bought it anytime after 2010.”

It’s all about proof of owner-ship, too.

“If you didn’t buy it [your ATV] from a dealership, you have to go to a notary public and swear an affidavit that you

bought it legally and you own it. That establishes ownership. The thing that’s going to hap-pen in some cases is that ATVs may have been through two or three hands and it could have been stolen years back. Now, after [the ATV] goes through the affidavit process and gets registered and it’s in the sys-tem, it could still pop up later as having been a stolen unit.

“The registration thing is going to make the trading in stolen ATVs a lot harder to do, though,” he said.

The move to registration allows B.C. to catch up with its neighbouring provinces.

“They are even registered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. B.C. is the only province, from what I understand that didn’t have registration,” Lees said.

So hunters who want to take their ATV from here to the prai-ries, for instance, will have to prove their registration.

“We’re comfortable with it, we knew we had to do it. We have always preached that you must carry liability insurance. You have to have it to travel on forest service roads anyway,” he said.

Most ATV owners in his experience go to ICBC first for

the registration and the min-imum insurance and then go to one of a couple of private insur-ance companies for liability, theft and collision — wherever they can get their best deal.

“Those companies are affili-ated with the organizations like Quad Riders ATV B.C., they offer us a discount,” Lees said.

Nov. 1 is the deadline this time.

“If you are caught without being registered and insured, you’re going to get an $840 fine, just the same as driving your car without insurance,” he said.

According to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the oper-ating standards call for:

• helmets• seatbelts, (if a manufacturer

has installed seatbelts, then the seat belt must be worn during the operation of that vehicle).

• lights, off-road vehicles (ORV) must use lights during low visibility conditions when riding on Crown land 30 min-utes after sunset or 30 minutes before sunrise.

• supervision of children.The off-road vehicle regis-

tration is integrated within ICBC so it’s straightforward to register.

The regulations also offer a sticker option for those vehi-cles which are unable to house metal plates. Owners who already secured an ORV num-ber plate during voluntary registration can, between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015, bring their registration and metal plate to any ICBC broker and exchange their metal plate for a sticker for no charge.

As well, snowmobile owners who have already registered their vehicles under the Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act will be eligible for a refund, up until Nov. 16, when they register under the ORV Act.

Voluntary registration has been in place since Nov. 17, 2014, and since then over 35,000 users have registered.

As of Nov. 1, 2015, registration will be mandatory. The com-bined cost of the number plate and registration fee remains $48.

For more detailed information on the new ORV regulations there is a detailed FAQ at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/orv/

Business partners Ashley Scot-thorne and Becky Hogg at Mint Hair in Duncan are teaming up with Street Thug Barbers and friends on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to give free hair-cuts to the homeless and to those who might not otherwise be able to afford a trim.

Street Thug Barbers have a simi-lar practice in downtown Vancou-ver every Sunday morning.

“They have a salon and they work seven days a week but every Sun-day morning they get up and they go downtown and they cut people’s hair,” Scotthorne said. “They’re awesome.”

After speaking with the barbers, the stylists at Mint decided there’s no reason they couldn’t give back, too.

“We thought, ‘what a great idea’. We have a gift and instead of giving money, we can give the gift of giving

hair cuts,” Scotthorne said. A haircut can be a transforming

experience, giving renewed confi-dence and outlook to its recipients.

“It is amazing what a haircut can do,” she added.

The group has also been gathering up used jackets, clothes, dog food, people food, and various other items the less fortunate may need this coming winter.

“We are hoping to have a bit of a free store that day as well,” Scot-thorne said.

Stylists from other Duncan salons have offered up their services so it is gearing up to be a festive atmos-phere at the Mint Salon, right next to the food bank on Garden Street.

Those wishing to drop off non-per-ishables or clothing items can do so before Tuesday. For those hoping to get their hair cut, the event begins on Tuesday Nov. 3 at 10 a.m.

The folks at the Trunk Road Star-bucks will be supplying the coffee.

Mint off ering hair cuts for the needy

Mint and other stylists will be helping those in need next week. [SUBMITTED]

For the last couple of months BC Fer-ries has been offering half price passen-ger fares on select routes at various times. The offer has been so well received that the company has taken things one step further — this time offering 50 per cent off vehicle rates beginning Nov. 15.

According to BC Ferries officials, the pas-senger promotion through September and October was wildly successful, increasing traffic but reducing congestion by reward-ing riders who took advantage of off-peak sailing times.

“BC Ferries is offering discount travel to gauge our customers’ response to the con-cept of saving while travelling on off-peak sailings,” said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries’ president and CEO. “As we progress with our Fare Flexibility and Digital Experi-ence Initiative, set to roll out in 2017, we

are gaining valuable information on shift-ing our pricing structure to offer savings based on time of day travel, a model com-monly used in the transportation and trav-el industries.”

The half price fare will apply to cars, motorcycles, trucks, SUVs, vans or rec-reational vehicles (discount applies to the first 20 feet of vehicle length only).

The promotion begins Nov. 16 on the South Coast routes and will run through Dec. 19. Lower prices will be in effect on select Monday through Thursday and Sat-urday sailings only.

Check bcferries.com for start dates and other information on the North Coast routes.

As always, it’s first-come first served on the ferries. Only reservations ensure trav-ellers’ spots are saved.

BC Ferries is planning another pricing promotion for next spring.

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

A contest by the South Island Musical Theatre Society (SIMTS) is aimed at getting elementary-aged children in the Valley’s public schools to learn more about Anne of Green Gables.

The famous novel was long ago turned into a popular musical and the SIMTS is pre-senting that musical at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre in the spring.

The offer that went out to the area’s public school chil-dren offered the chance to win tickets to the April 2016 produc-tion of Anne of Green Gables.

Write a short essay explaining what you like about the novel or musical Anne of Green Gables.

This essay must be 75 words or less and must be handed in to the school office anytime before Dec. 11.

The winner will be announced

the second week of January and will receive tickets to one of the performances.

“The idea of the contest is to encourage children to read and to come out and see theatre. I think this is also a good way to give children the chance to be creative, to write and then to experience live musical the-atre,” said SIMTS president Irwin Killam.

“People will be hearing about this now at their schools. It’s for Grades 1-7,” she said.

The judges will take note of

the different ages of the stu-dents when writing.

It’s interesting, she said, to discover that many children have not read the Anne of Green Gables stories.

“But they’re reading Harry Potter and things like that. It’s fantastic that they’re reading, of course, but this is a beautiful and famous Canadian story,” she said.

The SIMTS is trying to get more of the community involved, she said.

The show itself has been cast and the players of the major roles will be out and about in the Cowichan Valley fairly soon to start spreading the word that Anne is coming to the Cowic-han Performing Arts Centre.

So, if you have kids in elemen-tary school, get them reading Anne of Green Gables and then putting their thoughts to paper. The result could be some great entertainment come spring.

Contest bringing ‘Anne’ to a new generation

“I think this is also a good way to give children the chance to be creative, to write and then to experience live musical theatre.”

Star Trek medicine is becoming closer to reality with a small credit card-sized device using near infrared light to detect possible urinary tract infections. It is an non-invasive tool that will benefit

those with spinal cord injuries who can’t detect the normal signs of bladder infection like painful urination. Although not ready for general use yet, it will save healthcare dollars by minimizing lab test costs.The first alert pendant was marketed in 1974 and worked only in the home. Today these devices are very high-tech and some have GPS capabilities so the wearer can go anywhere and still be found. Some also can detect falls and will call for emergency help even though the button is not pushed. There are many different types available. Do your research for the one that is best for you.Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms often begin with tremors in the hand and is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress but seems to disappear during sleep. Another PD symptom is bradykinesia which is the slowing down and loss of spontaneous and automatic movement. Both of these symptoms can be controlled by medications and in some cases deep brain stimulation therapy. The biggest advance in drug therapy for Parkinson’s Disease occurred decades ago with a few refinements along the way. But the major breakthrough that will halt or slow the progression of the disease are still elusive. But hope never dies.Work is always going on to discover how to treat major diseases including Parkinson’s. When new drugs come out, our pharmacists will know about it.

Kelsey aims to bring kindness to CowichanSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Kindness is cool. That’s why Marlie Kelsey is

going out of her way next week to spread some joy.

Friday Nov. 6 marks Random Act of Kindness Day and Kelsey sees no reason why the event shouldn’t be celebrated in the Little Town that Did and beyond.

“I was on the Internet and I saw that they’re doing it for the very first time in Victoria, Parks-ville and Qualicum, Nanaimo, and Saturna Island and I just thought in the Cowichan region this is just a perfect thing and we should be doing it here too,” Kelsey said.

She pitched it to the folks at the Chemainus BIA and those at the Chemainus Theatre, who she said were all willing to hop on board and lend their support to the cause.

“Everybody just thought that’s such a great idea. Obviously we should all be doing acts of kind-ness every day in our lives but this will be great,” Kelsey said. “My hope is that people perhaps who haven’t thought of doing random acts of kindness will participate and they’ll just see how great it is to do some small act of kindness on Nov. 6, and go ‘wow this is really great’ and it’ll

inspire them to do more random acts of kindness in their lives.”

To that end, Kelsey has print-ed about 450 “kindness cards” that will encourage the card-holder to perform a simple act of kindness for someone — a neighbour, friend, co-worker, or even someone they don’t know and then hand over the card to that person, encouraging them to do the same.

She explained that kindness can be anything from holding a door open, smiling at a stranger, sharing words of encourage-ment, sharing a snack, or help-

ing someone load their groceries into their car. It doesn’t have to cost a thing and each act pro-vides the opportunity to make kindness a priority.

She’s interested to see the results.

“It’s like throwing a pebble into a pond. It could have far reach-ing effects,” Kelsey said.

She hopes to drop cards at the Chemainus Visitors centre and at various businesses around town. They can be picked up this week through Nov. 6.

She hopes to bring a handful to the Cowichan Valley Visitor Centre as well to encourage the movement to expand elsewhere in the region and beyond.

All told, she’s got about 450 cards printed and cut and ready to distribute.

“If I just drop a few off and if people do it, they’ll spread around like crazy,” Kelsey said. “If nothing else it’s a very posi-tive thing and there’s nothing wrong with spreading positive feelings around, right?”

Since 2008 Random Act of Kindness Day has brought Can-adian communities together by engaging citizens in small acts of kindness and generosity. This year over 250 commun-ities across the country will be participating.

QMS CREATES FOOD CHAIN

Each year Queen Margaret’s School students work to gather non-perishable food items to donate to the Cowichan Valley food bank. As part of the process students create a living chain to pass food along from the senior school to the chapel where it is gathered. Students filled an entire van with food this year. [SUBMITTED]

“My hope is that people perhaps who haven’t thought of doing random acts of kindness will participate and they’ll just see how great it is to do some small act of kindness on Nov. 6, and go ‘wow this is really great’ and it’ll inspire them to do more random acts of kindness in their lives.”

MARLIE KELSEY, Random Act of Kindness proponent

◆ COMING UP IN COWICHAN

Hit the sidewalk in Duncan on Sunday for great deals

The annual Downtown Duncan Side-walk Celebration is back again on Sunday, Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A fun way to kick off the pre-Christmas holiday shopping season, this event has grown to include more than 20 merchants.

Originally conceived and organized by Jacquie Large of Wishes, the sidewalk sale was intended as an opportunity for merchants to clear their shelves before the holiday season but it has grown to be a downtown celebration, attracting many customers looking to get an early start on their Christmas shopping.

Public invited to connect with WorldVIU Days in Duncan

“Creating a Connected Community” is the theme of this year’s WorldVIU Days at Vancouver Island University’s Cowichan campus during the week of Nov. 2 to 6.

The purpose of the week is to raise aware-ness and build appreciation for the cultur-al diversity that exists in our community.

Various guest speakers, cultural activ-ities and musical entertainment will be showcased throughout the week. The general public is invited to attend. A full schedule of events is available under the Cowichan Campus page on the VIU web-site at www.viu.ca

Intercultural Society hosting Community Bridging Dance

The Cowichan Intercultural Society is holding a Community Bridging Dance on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Duncan United Church.

Starting at 7 p.m., admission is by donation.

“Please come and bring a friend,” reads a press release from the group.

There will be door prizes, snacks, bever-ages and dance facilitators. It’s also family friendly.

Proceeds from the dance will go to sup-port the Multicultural Leadership Group. For more information, go to www.cis-iwc.org

Israeli peace activist heads to Duncan on speaking tour

On Friday, Nov. 6, at 10:30 a.m., Yonatan Shapira, a Jewish Israeli activist for peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians, will speak in Theatre 140, the ground floor lecture theatre in the Duncan campus of

Vancouver Island University. Yonatan’s talk will be part of a speaking

tour of parts of the mainland and Vancou-ver Island, and will include stops in Vic-toria (7 p.m., Nov. 5), Nanaimo (2 p.m., Nov. 6), Courtenay, and Denman Island. There is no charge for admission, but a collection will be taken to help cover costs of the tour and to raise monies to contribute to initia-tives Yonatan supports. Those include assisting the 18-year-old Jewish Israelis who openly refuse military service and are punished with rotating sentences in military prisons.

Yonatan started life on an Israeli military base. His father was a fighter pilot and squadron commander. Yonatan himself spent 12 years as an Israeli air force pilot. In his lifetime he’s undergone a continuing shift in his outlook.

In 2003 he played a key role in moving 27 Israeli air force pilots to publicly refuse to fly missions over the Gaza Strip. In 2005 he was a founding member of Combatants for Peace, uniting Palestinian and Israeli former fighters in working to end Israel’s military occupation. Since 2009 he’s been a member of the Israeli group Boycott from Within, supporting the Palestinian call for boycott of, divestment from investments in, and sanctions against Israel.

He’s taken part in three maritime attempts to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, in 2010, 2011, and 2012. In the 2012 attempt one of his shipmates was Jim Manly of Nanaimo, former NDP MP and United Church minister. Yonatan considers himself a pacifist.

Yonatan’s talk in Duncan is co-spon-sored by the Vancouver Island University Department of Anthropology, the VIU Cowichan Campus, and Mid-Islanders for Justice and Peace in the Middle East.

Notice of Application for SHORT TERM WATER USE – WATER ACT (SECTION 8)

Catalyst Paper Corporation, of #200 – 3600 Lysander Lane, Richmond, BC, V7B 1C3, has applied for a short term use approval to divert water out of Lake Cowichan which discharges into the Cowichan River which flows east into Cowichan Bay, and hereby gives notice of the application to all persons who may be affected.

In late August 2015, Catalyst applied for approval to pump water out of Lake Cowichan into the Cowichan River for the fall of 2015 in the event that the river might start to run dry. Unusual late August rains recharged the lake and returned water flow to the river, ending the drought conditions. However, climate change impacts leave the river exposed to future drought as Lake Cowichan water storage is no longer adequate. Therefore, we are amending our application from the original period of Sept 28, 2015 – November 15, 2015 to the fall of 2016 and 2017.

Catalyst is applying for approval to pump water from the upstream side of the Lake Cowichan boat lock and weir (located near 300 North Shore Rd, Lake Cowichan) to the downstream side of the structure which will maintain up to 5 cubic meters per second of flow in the Cowichan River. Approximately 30% of this water will be used by Catalyst under its existing water licence, which authorizes water for the pulp and paper facility in Crofton and for domestic use by the Village of Crofton, while 70% will be used for conservation purposes to support fish populations in the Cowichan River.

For 2016 and 2017, we intend to begin pumping if the lake level nears the bottom of the weir gates. Pumping will remain in place no longer than 49 days until rains recharge the lake so that it can naturally maintain at least 5 cms of flow into the Cowichan River. The maximum quantity of water to be diverted would result in a draw down on Lake Cowichan from 161.40 m GSC to 160.80 m GSC (23 inches maximum draw down) if the operation lasts for the entire 49 day approval window. For reference, the water level on October 13, 2015 was 162.03 m GSC.

An independent, qualified environmental professional will monitor lake levels, any observed impacts and provide a bi-weekly report to regulators over the duration of the pumping operation. Further, a government approved environmental management plan will be in place before operations begin to ensure the process runs smoothly without any unforeseen impacts or spills.

Catalyst Paper is open to hearing your comments and questions about this application. We are hosting an open house at the Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall at 309 South Shore Rd, Lake Cowichan on November 5, 2015 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. You may also provide feedback at [email protected] or in writing to Catalyst Paper, Box 70, Crofton, BC, V0R 1R0.

Objections to this application may be filed with the Regional Water Manager, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, 2080 Labieux Rd, Nanaimo, BC, V9T 6J9, within 30 days of this notice.

The deadline for feedback is November 29, 2015.

The opening of the Capitol Theatre in Duncan created a big splash. People were surprised by all the latest innovations built in. [T.W. PATERSON COLLECTION]

Capitol Theatre showed investors’ faith in Duncan’s future prosperity

Today it’s one of Duncan’s most iconic land-

marks. Well, in a way, it is. The 1925 building is still there at 123 Station St. but it’s long been converted to other uses.

It’s what’s in front that makes it a stand-out: a horseshoe embedded in the sidewalk as an eye-catching reminder of the site’s original occupant, Grassie the blacksmith.

Ninety years ago, this was the new Capitol Theatre, wel-comed to the city not just for its entertainment value but as “an expression of local investors’ faith in Cowichan,” according to the front-page story in the Cow-ichan Leader.

And welcome it was, 500 people attending its grand opening on the evening of July 20, 1925. Wal-ter C. Tanner, president of the Duncan Board of Trade, opened the festivities with a speech and

Alderman J.M. Camp-bell read a letter from the ailing Mayor Mut-ter. Tanner declared the Capitol to be “a big step forward in community life” as it demonstrated the “faith that many residents [have] in the future prosperity of the district”. He was

referring to the fact that every cent of the necessary capital had been subscribed locally. As well, all the building materials were purchased locally and the tradesmen, under the experi-enced direction of E.W. Lee and architect Douglas James, were local residents. The result, in Tanner’s words, was a building of which “every resident might well feel proud”.

In a letter, the absent Mayor Mutter expanded on Tanner’s theme of local enterprise by touting the Capitol as proof to “pessimists” that there were local people “who are not afraid

to stake their money on the future of Duncan”.

Perhaps the large crowd eager to fill the new seats had been encouraged to do so by the fact that manager W.B. Waddell hadn’t charged admission. No children were present, their turn to come with a special matinee the following afternoon.

After the speechifying, news reels showed Canadian scenes and two-year-old footage of the Canadian Grand National.

The latter was said to have stirred the blood of the sport-ing types present, as well as affording one and all an oppor-tunity to show their patriotism by applauding Their Majesties King George V and the Prince of Wales.

Making its provincial debut was the bright and amusing comedy, I’ll Show You the Town, starring British actors Reg Denny and Cissy Fitzgerald.

T.W. PatersonCHRONICLES

Live entertainment (this was before the talk-ies, remember) was provided by Victoria soloist Miss Virginia Grayland and a band led by Ber-nard Howard, Chemainus.

Some of those present were overawed to the point of asking why “so good a theatre” had been built in such a small town. Manager Wad-dell smugly answered that, just because people lived in a small town, was no reason that they should settle for less than the best!

Actual seating capacity was 396 downstairs and 80 upstairs. The mezzanine was there for another purpose beside that of enlarging the audience capacity: it was reserved for non-whites. An innovative touch (for Duncan) on the main floor, which sloped towards the screen, was that the seats in the centre section were “jogged” so that spectators could look between the rows of heads in front of them, and seats in the wing sections had been placed at an angle to achieve the same effect. Tall people were assured of ample knee room, the seats being two inches farther apart than those of most theatres. And the latest in projectors meant that patrons didn’t have to shade their eyes from the glare while the projectionist changed reels in mid-film!

There was even a new Heintzman piano for G. Schofield, the house pianist. For opening night, Bernie Howard’s band from Chemainus did the honours; on special film nights, an orchestra then still being formed would be on hand.

Staff included cashier Miss Bertha Castley, a ticket collector and two ushers.

Another marked improvement over the old Opera House was the larger, 720-square-foot orchestra pit with its own concealed entrance. Actors waiting in the pit to ascend the stage by way of a staircase on either side, did so in comfort as it was directly heated — probably as much by the glow of the old-fashioned car-bon-arc footlights as from the future vents.

And the heavy dark blue velour curtains were said to be not only attractive but a testimonial to Waddell’s multi-talents, he having made them himself.

First to show was Zane Grey’s Thundering Herd, starring Jack Hold and Lois Wilson, fol-lowed three days later by The Last Laugh.

With newsreels, admission was adults, 50 cents, children, 15 cents. The final curtain for the Capitol Theatre came down in the 1960s.

Q OF A WALKS FOR WORLD FOOD DAYStudents, staff and friends of Queen of Angels School took to the outdoors on a beautiful day, Friday, Oct. 16, for the school’s annual World Food Day awareness walk. The group of youths aged kindergarten through Grade 9 and their teachers — and even some family members — walked from the school to Art Mann Park and back. In the days before the walk the students also held a massive food drive which will benefit the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

HEALTHY ADVICE FROM YOUR COWICHAN DENTIST

Why should I have dental X-rays?Dental X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool to help your dentist identify hidden decay between your teeth or beneath old fillings.It is simply another diagnostic test to tell you “if you do or do not have a cavity”The necessity of having dental X-rays depend on many factors including how much dental work you’ve had in the past, your current condition and if you have any signs or symptoms of dental decay.Early intervention might help save a tooth or minimize extensive treatment.But how safe are dental X-rays?Radiation constantly rains down on us from outer space. Natural background radiation exposure accounts for an average of 3.1 mSv/yr with variations depending on where you live and how much time you spend outdoors. For

a routine exam which includes 4 bitewings is about 0.005 mSv, which is less than one day of natural background radiation. It is also about the same amount of radiation exposure from a short airplane flight (~1-2 hrs). A lead apron minimizes the exposure to the abdomen and should be used when any dental radiograph is taken. Other strategies used to reduce exposure include computerized radiographs, smaller views(collimation) and smaller time of exposure .Overall,the amount of radiation you get from dental X-rays is relatively small especially when compared with the radiation you receive from the natural background sources.Therefore dental radiographs are considered safe integral part of nearly every new patient exam.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Piggies ven-tured last Saturday into terri-tory that hasn’t often been kind to them, but returned as the con-quering heroes after beating the Port Alberni Black Sheep 28-3 in a key First Division rugby test.

“That’s a good result for us, especially up there,” head coach Gord McGeachy said. “They were missing a few bodies, a few key players, but for the most part, it was a really solid effort from us.”

The match started off relative-ly even, but the Piggies got on the board first with a try from Rob McDonnell that went uncon-verted. Tate Rose followed that up with another unconverted score to make it 10-0 before the Black Sheep got all their points for the day on a penalty goal. At the end of the half, Peter Budina slotted a drop goal, and Cowic-han led 13-3 at the midway point.

The second half started sim-ilar to the first, but the Piggies got the first points once again on another drop goal by Budina at the 15-minute mark. Jenner

Teufel scored a try seven min-utes later and kicked the con-version, Cowichan’s first and only of the game. Andrew Gud-mundseth finished the scoring off, giving his team a fourth try and a valuable bonus point in the standings.

“It was a pretty solid team effort,” McGeachy said. “The forwards played well as a unit. I think the biggest thing was our team defence. We tackled well as a team; they’re not an easy team to keep off the scoreboard.”

The Piggies will be at home to the Nanaimo Hornets this Satur-day, kicking off at 1 p.m.

“We’re looking to gain a little more traction in the standings,” McGeachy said. “And avenge a pretty embarrassing loss earlier in the season.”

Though he was denied on this attempt, Cowichan forward Rhett Willcox did score once in the Capitals’ 6-3 win over Powell River on Wednesday night. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]


After building up a four-goal lead over the first two periods on Wednesday night, the Cowichan Valley Capitals weathered a third-period push by the Powell River Kings to win 6-3 and edge into first place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Island Division for the first time in several seasons.

“It’s been a long time,” third-year head coach Bob Beatty said. “It certainly hasn’t happened since I’ve been here.”

The Capitals led 4-0 after two periods and looked to be cruising to victory, but it all changed in a span of less than two minutes starting at 7:22 of the third when the Kings scored three quick goals.

“We got a few bounces and our

goaltender [Storm Phaneuf] out-played theirs in the first period,” Beatty said. “I thought we really placed a decent second period, then we got a little bit sloppy or cute or whatever you want to call it in the third. They had us on our heels. We’ve got to learn to close out games. If we want to maintain the position we’re in, we have to play better.”

The Caps regained their two-goal lead when a Powell River clearing attempt went into the net off Cowichan captain Adam Osczevski, and the Caps iced it with an empty-netter. The win pushed the Caps to 21 points on the season, one more than the Kings, who have played one more game than they have.

Osczevski finished the game with two goals and an assist,

while Kade Kehoe scored once and added one helper. Ryan Burton, Rhett Willcox and Jar-ed Domin also had singles, and Matt Hudie had a pair of assists. Phaneuf had a stellar outing in net, stopping 40 of 43 shots.

On Friday, the Caps visit the Victoria Grizzlies, who have put together the BCHL’s worst record so far this season, then host the Kings once again on Sunday at 2 p.m.

“We’ve played Victoria three times and had three one-goal games,” Beatty pointed out. “They lost a tough one [to Nanai-mo Wednesday night], so they’re going to be hungry. Powell River is a good team. We’re not neck-and-neck with them by accident. To heat them four times in a row will be a challenge.”

Leading from start to finish, the Mid Island Lightning beat Vic Field 13-8 at the UVic turf last Saturday to improve their record to three wins and two losses in the Vancouver Island Field Lacrosse U18 season.

The game was a physical bat-tle, but the Lightning were up to the challenge, led by Dallas

McLaughlin, who dished out big hits alongside fellow defenders Marc Gagnon and Mat Jung.

Kyle Page and Thomas Vaesen scored three goals apiece, Jaeden Ashbee, Lucas Nagel and Colton Lidstone had two each, and goal-ie Parker Teufel got in on the action by running the length of the field to score.

The U18 Lightning will be away again this weekend, visiting Pacific Rim on Saturday.

The Cowichan Thunderbirds battled to a strong third-place showing in the senior girls volleyball tournament they hosted last Friday, taking on some pretty good teams in the process.

“We were defeated by Ladys-mith pretty badly first thing in the morning, but we came back and almost beat them in the rematch,” head coach Cat Parlee said.

The tournament allowed the T-Birds to identify some of the things they need to work on as the playoffs approach.

“Our serving wasn’t as con-sistent as we would like it to be at this point in the season,” Parlee said. “But our overall play was better.”

One thing the Cowichan players can’t work on is their height, or lack thereof, but they can, and have, found ways to get by with it.

“We are probably one of the shortest teams in our league,” Parlee said. “We really have to fight the height difference. We need to attack the ball aggres-sively and get points that way.”

Eight of Parlee’s 10 players are in Grade 12 and hoping to finish their high school volley-ball careers on a high note.

“They said, ‘It’s the last year for the majority of us, so we want to see how far we can go,’” Parlee said.

One of those Grade 12s is

Madison Allen, who was among Cowichan’s top performers last Friday.

“She’s really developing with her serve,” Parlee said. “We love it when she’s up on deck because she can deliver the ball.”

Lindsay Elzinga, one of the team’s younger players, also stood out at the tournament.

“She’s progressing amazing-ly,” Parlee said. “She covers the court and know her lines. She’s really coming along. She’s one of the few that will be left from this year’s team, and I can’t

wait to see what she’s like.”In their first game after the

tournament, against Lake Cow-ichan this past Tuesday, theT-Birds already showed theyhad learned some lessons.

“The girls are gelling togeth-er better,” Parlee noted. “Theywere talking more on thecourt.”

This Friday and Saturday,Cow High will team up withDuncan Christian School tohost an even bigger tourna-ment at both their gyms, fea-turing 15 teams from all overB.C.


Both the senior girls and senior boys volleyball teams from Duncan Christian School finished 10th at their respective BC Christian Championship tournaments last weekend.

Playing in Surrey at Pacific Acad-emy and Surrey Christian School, the DCS girls team got off to a strong start in pool play, beating Carver Christian and Vernon in straight sets and losing to Rich-mond Christian to finish second in their pool.

The Chargers lost their playoff opener to White Rock, but bounced back with wins over Regent and Vernon before bowing out with a loss to Credo.

“The teams were fairly evenly matched,” assistant coach Roz Campbell said of the match with Credo. “During the second set, the DCS Chargers boys team came in to cheer us on and the girls were immediately uplifted. Hannah Day played an excellent final game and Danielle Groenendijk hit aggres-sively from start to finish. We lost a very tight match, but it was a fantastic game of volleyball and the team finished the tournament on a very high note.”

The DCS boys team that came

to cheer on the girls in their last game played their BC Christian tournament at Abbotsford Chris-tian, where they lost their first two pool matches to Credo and Pacific before getting a win over Vernon.

In the playoffs, they lost a tough first-round battle with Carver to end up in the consolation round, where they beat Cedars in straight sets, then closed out with a loss to Richmond.

“We did fix a number of things that were not working the day before, but slipped on a few other things,” coach Jim Brandsma said of the game against Richmond. “At this level it comes down to a lot of little things that need to happen and can only be practiced in game situations, so we need to set up more games over the next couple weeks.”

The DCS girls team will be host-ing a tournament along with Cow-ichan Secondary this Friday and Saturday at both schools’ gyms.

The Cowichan Valley High School Bowling Program gets rolling next week, but it’s not too late to sign up, and it’s not unusual for new bowlers to start competing a few weeks in.

The after-school program at Duncan Lanes offers school-vs.-school competition with empha-sis on sporting behaviour and etiquette.

Bowlers in the program have the opportunity not just to pursue the sport recreationally, but also to earn scholarships toward post-sec-ondary education. There is also the

chance to compete in tournaments all over the province and in the national championships.

The program is offered to Grades 8-12, competing in teams of three that can be all-male, all-female or mixed.

Fees are a $30 Canadian Tenpin Federation fee, plus $8.75 a week for three games.

Competition starts Nov. 2 at 4 p.m., but late registration is possible.

For more information visit Duncan Lanes at 2701 James St. or call coach Bob Linde at 250-715-1413.

The Duncan Christian School Chargers punched their ticket to the provincial single-A senior boys soccer champion-ships next month by finishing second at the Island tournament at the Cowichan Sportsplex last week.

In the 1-0 semifinal win over St. Andrew’s that locked up a top-two slot and a provincial berth, the Chargers got stellar goalkeeping from Vincent Fernan-dez while Ben Henry broke a scoreless tie midway through the second half.

With their place at provincials already guaranteed, the Chargers finished the tournament with an 8-0 loss at the hands of the defending B.C. champs from Glen-lyon Norfolk in the final.

Rounding out the field were St. Andrew’s in third, Dwight School Canada in fourth, and the Cowichan Valley Open Learning Cooperative in fifth.

Fernandez, Henry and Hosang Kim were named to the all-star team from DCS, while Roy Sumimoto represented Dwight, and Dylan Thomas was selected from CVOLC.


A week after playing their best game of the season, the bantam Cowichan Bull-dogs suffered a 63-0 setback at the hands of the Salmon Arm Chargers as the two most geographically distant members of the Vancouver Mainland Football League squared off in Langley last Sunday.

“We got our lunch handed to us,” head coach Mike Williams said. “We ran into the best team in the league, unfortunately. Salmon Arm is a well-coached, well-pol-ished, and well-executing team. They did pretty much everything right, and we didn’t have any answers.”

The Bulldogs lost a few players to injur-ies in the game, but never surrendered, even when it became clear that a come-back was out of the question.

“As a team, we didn’t get down on our-selves, but they were a bigger, stronger,

faster team than us,” Williams said. “We didn’t give up; we didn’t quit. It was a character builder.”

The defeat came on the tail of the Bull-dogs’ best outing of the season, a 38-32 loss to the Vancouver Trojans that they very nearly won.

“Hopefully we don’t lose the momentum from having a close game the previous week,” Williams said.

Unfortunately, the Bulldogs will have to forfeit this weekend’s scheduled road game against the Richmond Raiders, with three players sidelined due to injuries and three more unavailable with other com-mitments. They will resume the season on Nov. 8 when they visit the Cloverdale Leopards.

The midget Timbermen, who had a bye last week, will be on the road this week-end, visiting the Victoria Spartans on Sunday.


In their last First Division match before beginning Premier League play next month, Cowichan’s women’s rugby team was downed 38-17 by Castaway Wanderers in a game that was closer than the score would suggest.

Veteran Carolyn Gudmundseth scored all three tries, with Brittany Brown kick-ing one conversion.

“It was a hard battle, and this was a much better played game by Cowichan then the previous one,” captain Sherry Spence said. “It was really exciting to know that the depth of the players on the bench for our team is of the same level, so they can really make an impact when they sub in.”

Sarah Alexander subbed in for starter Rikki Wylie and made some big tackles, while Megan Crump went off the bench for Bristine Gibbons and contributed

some powerful runs. Gudmundseth and Brandi Van Eeuwen were named players of the game by Castaways.

The match showed the players what they will need to work on to compete in the B.C.-wide Premier League.

“There were enough positives in our set pieces and defensive work, at times, to show that we belong at that level,” coach Steve Cowie said. “But we need to work on team fitness to get to the breakdowns quicker, make better decisions on the field and develop the kind of sharpness in our attack and commitment to the rucks to exploit the other team’s weaknesses and maintain possession through more phas-es. As coaches we are excited about the possibilities in our team and not the least bit disappointed by the efforts of our women on Saturday.”

The Cowichan women will host Comox for an exhibition game this Saturday at 11:30 a.m.


An outstanding second half wasn’t quite enough for the Cowichan Cubs to beat Juan de Fuca in last week’s Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association game at Evans Park, with the host team settling for a 2-1 loss.

“The first half was still scrambly and they got two goals on us,” head coach Marilyn Pugh said. “The second half was much better where people were marking up to their checks closer and being more aggressive. The last 15 minutes of the game were great. The ball was down in Juan de Fuca’s end most of the time and we were creating scoring opportunities.

They didn’t even look like the same team.”Returning to action from a knee injury,

Nicole Pugh scored Cowichan’s lone goal on a corner kick from her sister, Rachel, and had several other stellar opportun-ities. Coach Pugh made some changes to her outside midfielders as the game wore on, and subs Shanice Ryder and Benecia George performed very well. Jennifer Jack also stepped up when she filled in at sweeper for Colleen Bob, who had to leave early for her engagement photos.

Pugh also acknowledged the efforts of team athletic therapist Scott Noa of Road to Recovery who attends all Cubs home games to help with sports injuries, and also does strength and conditioning work.

ROGER BURGESS June 1947 – October 2015

Surrounded by loving care in Victoria hospice, Roger died peacefully on Oct. 19th 2015, after a short battle with brain cancer. His many friends, colleagues and family will miss his strong leadership and competitive spirit.

Born in England, Roger immigrated to Canada as a young man. He had varied careers in marine and oil insurance, construction management and quantity surveying. Throughout his working life he was always active – renovating the family house, sailing, hiking, camping and partaking in many other pastimes. He was a supportive and caring father for his two sons, Michael and Stewart and loving husband to his wife, Marie.

After retirement he volunteered for many organisa-tions, helping update constitutions, bylaws, designing plans to rebuild and restore old and new buildings, planting apple trees, always planning with an eye to the future.

Wildwood and the Eco Forestry Institute, Wace creek improvement district, Mill Bay tennis club, Camp Fircom on Gambier Island, several Cowichan Valley Region-al District committees, the Mill Bay Historical Society, Keating farm estate, the Victoria MG car club, and Ross Bay Villa among others have all benefitted from his work on their behalf.

An avid gardener, skier, tennis player, MG racer and tourer, he was never still except when reading for hours at the library. He always had a project going, his or some else’s, and it was always accompanied by a dry sense of humour. He will be thoroughly missed by his family, his many friends and his community at large.

A heartfelt thank you for all the gentle care and counselling from the volunteers and nurses at Victoria Hospice. Also thank you for the good professional care from the doctors and nurses at VGH, Jubilee and the Canadian cancer agency. And a big thank you for all the support and good wishes from friends and family.

Sunday November 1st 2015 from 12pm to 4pm in the garden at 454 Goulet Rd. Mill Bay.

Wear your coat and your boots!

Every Wednesday and Friday,

we bring you up to date on news and community events

that matter to you. Our winning combination of features are designed to

keep you reading our newspaper....

every week.

St. Peter Quamichan is offering a free reconciliation workshop designed to build bridges in the

wake of the suffering caused by the abuse suffered by First Nations chil-dren at residential schools.

The Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission is an independent commis-sion established as a result of the 2007 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement.

Its mandate is to inform all Canadians about what happened in the 150-year history of the residential schools, and to guide and inspire a process of rec-onciliation and renewed relationships based on mutual understanding and respect.

As a part of the Cowichan Valley

and as a part of the broader Anglican Church of Canada, St. Peter, Quamic-han acknowledges that they were com-plicit with the Government of Canada and other church bodies in the genocide that happened towards Canada’s First Nations people through the develop-ment and support of the residential school system.

The people of St. Peter, Quamichan acknowledge that they now have a responsibility to educate themselves and others on the impact that residen-tial schools had on their First Nations neighbours. A step in that direction is being taken Saturday, Nov. 7 with an all-day workshop on Cross Cultural Con-nections: Building Bridges.

This workshop is for all people.

Youths from 11 years old and up are encouraged to attend along with edu-cators, business leaders, and anyone working with First Nations.

The facilitator of this workshop is Kathi Camilleri who is supported and guided in her work by Cowichan Elders Dorothy Jack, Linda Modeste, Ron George, Lucy Thomas, and Rob George. As well Michelle Staples, a local facili-tator of social justice and community development projects, is involved. Cow-ichan Tribes dancers and drummers will also be attending.

Pre-register prior to Nov. 1 as space is limited and a light lunch is includ-ed. For more information contact the church office at 250-746-6262 or visit stpeter-duncan.ca/
