A pickup-truck driver was airlifted to Victoria Gen-

eral Hospital from Cowichan District Hospital early Sunday after a two-truck crash on the Trans-Canada High-way at Herd Road.

The collision hap-pened when a semi-truck, southbound on the TCH, hit a Ford F-150 that was eastbound on Herd Road, police said of the crash that closed the highway for several hours.

The drivers’ identities, and the wreck’s cause, were unavailable at press time Tuesday.

News Leader Picto-rial lensman Andrew Leong said the totalled, white pickup — whose driver was extricated by re ghters using the Jaws

of Life — landed against the fence of a former Esso gas-station at the Herd Road corner.

The white semi-transport truck, reading Wallace & Carey (commercial dis-tributors), had its front-end mangled.

The big rig blocked the highway where ambulance paramedics tended the driver’s injured ankle, Leong said of the 1 a.m. scene littered with debris, and smeared with uids.

A Cowichan Bay-area family is homeless after Thursday night’s re claimed their rancher-type home at 784 Aros Road.

The blaze off Telegraph Road was battled by Cowichan Bay re ghters backed by Mill Bay and Duncan hall’s tanker trucks, Cow Bay’s chief Ken

Bulcock said of the 11:55 p.m. re during which a propane-tank fuel-line broke.

“We heard the noise of it leaking and turned it off,” Bulcock said of the 500-gallon tank that could have done seri-ous damage had it blown.

Still the three-bedroom, insured home was destroyed.

“The roof was inside the house when we got there,” he said, noting no injuries though a family cat may have died in the re.

“It’s believed the re started outside in

the back-porch area.”Photographer Andrew Leong stayed

way back.“It was a long driveway, and there were

no hydrants nearby so Duncan and Mill Bay hall’s trucks kept lling the (reserve) pool,” Leong said

Those tanker rigs were ordered by Cow Bay’s deputy-chief, Cam Ferguson, soon after he reached the fully involved inferno scene, said Leong.

Crews fought the re until about 4 a.m.

“The family was home and they all got out safely, but ambulances were standing by,” the Leader’s lensman said of the re that “ attened” the home.

The family’s name hasn’t been released but Bulcock believed those folks are stay-ing with neighbours or family.

They also got assistance from Cow-ichan Valley Regional District’s emer-gency program.

The re’s cause was under investigation at press time Friday.

Everybody loves Cowichan’s Golden Bear.

Richard (The Bear) Peter is clearly a favourite son of the entire community, judg-

ing by the response to his homecoming Sunday at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall.

The ve-time Paralympian, who n-ished a magni cent career in London, England with his third gold medal in men’s wheelchair basketball, is the pride of Cowichan Tribes and the en-tire valley for the marvelous example he has set for youth.

A whirlwind trip arranged to the valley was a chance for all to celebrate Peter’s accom-plish-ments. Family, friends and fans enjoyed a lun-cheon, tradi-tional

mask dance and presentations in Peter’s honour.

“To me, he’s still a youth but he’s

also an elder because of the status he’s attained,’’ said Peter’s aunt Philomena Pagaduan. “He has all those teachings now.’’

“He accepted what he had and did what he had to do to the best of his ability,’’ said Pagaduan’s husband Peter Williams.

John and Abby Pavelich of Enderby, Peter’s in-laws from his marriage to women’s wheelchair basketball great Marni Abbott, have nothing but good things to say about Peter’s character.

“His determination and his laid-back attitude,’’ John Pavelich said are two things that stand out for him.

“He’s quietly aggressive,’’ said Abby, who was in London to see Peter win the gold in his nal Paralympics. “He’s very dedicated to his sport.’’

“He deals with young kids,’’ added John. “He’s a role model for the younger people. He does an awesome job and he seems to really enjoy it.’’

Peter takes great pride in being able to pass on his knowledge and wisdom to the younger players and the next generation. He announced before the London games that he would be retiring from competitive basketball and turned 40 on the same day as the closing ceremonies, Sept. 10.

“I guess that still hasn’t sunk in,’’ said Peter, who is one of three team members to con rm their retirements after playing in ve Paralympics. “We de nitely really enjoyed it.’’

“I’m happy to be home, especially on

a day like (Sunday),’’ he added. “I’m just sitting back and saying, ‘yeah, I’m done.’’’

September was a month of mile-stones for Peter with the Paralympic gold, his 40th birthday, seventh wed-ding anniversary and retirement all falling in short order. He was heading to Las Vegas for a week after the Dun-can celebration.

“Everything just sort of fell into place, just really re ecting on my whole career — three gold medals and one silver,’’ said Peter. “It’s been a good run for us. It’s been a lot of fun.’’

Mom Gloria, many aunts and uncles and other family members all did their part to make Peter’s special day

happen.“It’s great for me to come home

whenever I can and share with the family,’’ said Peter, who has made his permanent home in Vancouver for many years.

Peter — who lost the use of his legs in a bus accident at age four — knows the Canadian Paralympic basketball team’s success will continue without him.

“We’ve still got a lot of young guys,’’ he said.

“I tried to let them know ‘you guys get out and enjoy this as much as pos-sible.’’’

Peter puts himself in the young play-ers’ shoes and recalls what it was like in the beginning in 1996 in Atlanta.

He considers himself very fortunate to have enjoyed such a long tenure in the game.

“I just remember going into that rst opening ceremonies was unbelievable. It was de nitely a joy and experi-ence back then and that’s what I try to remember with the younger guys we’ve got.’’

Peter has observed a tremendous advancement in the Paralympic move-ment during his time.

“It’s totally changed with all the different sports and the athletes that are out there.

“The biggest thing is awareness. I didn’t know anything about wheel-chair sports when I was growing up.’’

Don BodgerRichard (The Bear) Peter celebrates his Paralympic basketball gold medal with the community during a gathering at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall Sunday.

If you recently bought XL-brand meat at Duncan’s Thrifty Foods, throw it away — it may be bad.

“The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to consume a large number of products manufactured by XL Foods because the products may be contaminated with E.coli O157:H7,” a Thrifty Sept. 30 press release states. “While not usually supplied with beef by XL Foods, 12 Thrifty Foods’

locations did purchase small amounts of whole beef cuts during the period in question.”

Stores affected are Duncan, Tsawwassen, Coquit-lam, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, North Vancouver, Tus-cany Village, Hillside, Admirals Walk, Central Saanich, Quadra/Cloverdale, and Salt Spring Island.

All recalled raw beef products have been removed from store shelves. There have been no confi rmed

reports of illness from beef products purchased in any Thrifty stores, staff notes.

Customers concerned they may have bought this product are asked to destroy it and bring a receipt, product label or empty packaging to the store where purchased for a full refund.

Permissive Tax Exemption North Cowichan Council gives notice that it proposes to adopt Bylaw 3494, being the “Permissive Tax Exemption Amendment Bylaw, 2012”.

Bylaw 3494 proposes to amend “Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw, 2008”, No. 3351, by exempting the property taxes for 50% of land at 9745 Chemainus Road, owned by the Chemainus Theatre Festival Society. This exemption will be for the year 2013 only. The amount of the taxes exempted is estimated to be $860. If the exemption were for two years the amount of the exemption would be $1,720, and if exempted for three years the amount of the exemption would be $2,580.

Bylaw 3494 also revises assessment roll numbers, property owner information, and removes references to properties that no longer qualify for exemption.

This notice is given pursuant to section 227 of the Community Charter. For more information on proposed Bylaw 3494 contact Mark Frame, Director of Finance, 250-746-3100, or by email: [email protected].

Tour rides in to a Warm Land welcomeTour rides in to a Warm Land welcomeDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

Amazing weather and an equally warm response greeted Tour de Rock Cops For Cancer cy-clists as they rolled into

the Cowichan Valley Tuesday.The day began with a breakfast at

the Chemainus Legion and a visit to Chemainus Elementary before the riders headed to Lake Cowichan and then back to Duncan for stops at Drinkwater Elementary, Canadian Tire, Queen Margaret’s School, Khowhemun Elementary and Bev-erly Corners.

At Drinkwater, the riders were presented with school fundraising proceeds of more than $700.

“What we did and this is some-thing that’s a tradition at the school, we do a bottle drive at the end of September, speci cally to raise funds for the Tour de Rock,’’ said spokes-man Fiona Somerville. “It’s for a wonderful cause.’’

The bottle drive ran for ve straight days.

“It’s just a big effort to get it all done,’’ said Somerville.

The entire student population of more than 370 chipped in.

“It’s the biggest elementary outside of Duncan elementary,’’ said Somer-ville. “We just put up signs, we talk about it, we remind kids in their planners every day.’’

At Queen Margaret’s School, Grade 3 student Amelie McLean, who’s battling leukemia, rode in the escort car throughout the valley

school visits.McLean, escorted by younger

sister Miranda, presented the tour with a big cheque for $300.85 on behalf of QMS. The proceeds came from Cities Day where the 150 QMS junior school students got to wear clothing other than their uniforms for a toonie.

“Every single junior school student contributed,’’ said QMS communi-

cations co-ordinator Hayley Picard.Amelie McLean’s cancer experi-

ence brought the message of the tour home for the students.

“I think it’s just been a realization,’’ said QMS junior school principal Susan Cruikshank.

“Kids are used to their uncle or grandfather having an association with cancer. It makes it a real experi-ence for them.’’

After being elected as jester for the day, guest rider Bob McDon-ald rides around the hall on a trike at the Chemainus Royal Canadian Legion during the Tour de Rock riders’ rst stop Tuesday.

Ride along the pipeline nds concerns grew as riders headed westRide along the pipeline nds concerns grew as riders headed west


Average folks in B.C. and Alberta are divided about the economic bene ts and eco-costs of Enbridge’s planned pipeline.

But Ride The Pipe motorcyclists Paul Fletcher and Daniel Sikorskyi also found, during their summer road trip, people in both provinces share opinions on Ottawa’s handling of the controver-sial oil pipeline.

“The farther west we went, the deeper the knowledge of the project — and the resistance to it,” Fletcher said.

Faces and biases of folks affected by the proposed pipeline were captured

by still and video cameras during their three-week motorcycle marathon.

Fletcher and Sikorskyi, both 59, covered 5,200-odd kilometres aboard Harley Davidsons.They reached com-munities that could reap bene ts, or disaster, from the line carrying bitumen and condensate west and south from northern Alberta’s oil sands.

“I wanted to hear from people less directly involved in the issues,” said former Duncan councillor Fletcher.

“We basically focused on the average guy in pubs, coffee shops and restau-rants. I wanted to give people a voice about the project.” They spoke through 1,000 frames on his Nikon D-700.

Ride The Pipe, from Aug. 10 to 31, saw them travel from Duncan to Cal-gary then Edmonton, Dawson Creek, west to Kitimat (the line’s tanker port to Asia), Prince Rupert, Port Hardy, then back to Cowichan.

Some 50,000 people learned about

Ride The Pipe through social media, he reckoned.

Fifty of Fletcher’s shots, pictures by Sikorskyi, and video-documentary from friends Michelle Staples and Judy Stafford’s summer pipeline shoot, will appear in a spring show.

Staples and Fletcher are slated to speak at Thursday’s 7 p.m. Duncan

United Church screening of Frank Wolf and Todd McGowan’s pipeline documentary On The Line.

Fletcher found common ground among pro-pipe Albertans, and anti-pipe British Columbians.

To many of the 100 or so folks met by ex-oil-patch worker Fletcher, the line’s risks to land and water far outweigh its

job and tax bene ts.“It’s the human-error aspect. Alber-

tans seemed to want the oil re ned in Alberta, then pumped to eastern Canada.

“Many disliked the idea of shipping (raw material) to China. Suddenly the divide wasn’t so great,” he said, “But I don’t think our federal government wants us having that conversation.”

Folks were also leery of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s private talks with Chinese leaders about the project opposed by many Aboriginal elders whose lands the line would cross.

“The whole process isn’t transparent because of the desire to make money as fast as possible. For 270 full-time jobs in B.C., and a bunch of construction jobs, you’re risking a Native culture thousands of years old,” he said.

The two leading types of fraud in North America are identity theft and real estate fraud. You may think that you will never be a victim of fraud, but unless you take the right precautions it could happen to you.

Identity Theft in 2009, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) received identity fraud reports from 11,095 Canadian victims, for a total loss of more than 10 million dollars.1

Real Estate Title Fraud Industry experts estimate that the average real estate title fraud amounts to $300,000 and costs Canadians as much as $1.5 billion a year.2 The most common forms are mortgage fraud - when a buyer provides fraudulent information to secure a mortgage; and title fraud - when a person fraudulently assumes the identity of a homeowner and takes over title of the home, sells the property or arranges a new mortgage then takes the money and runs.

Avoid fraud frights with these defensive measures:

• Keep personal information private. For example, your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is usually required only for tax purposes or banking.

• PINs and passwords should never be shared with anyone. Don’t repeat them or other account numbers aloud where they can be heard.

• Destroy all receipts and any forms containing personal info before pulling these items in the garbage.

• Carry in your wallet or purse only the identifi cation and cards you absolutely need. Keep others, such as your SIN card and birth certifi cate, in a secure place.

• Keep your chequebook in hand and your cards in sight when making purchases and take your receipts with you.

• Periodically review credit card and bank statements and credit reports and report any irregularities.

• Know billing cycles and follow up if your bills don’t arrive when they should.

• Protect your outgoing mail - use only post offi ce collection boxes or your local post offi ce. And don’t leave incoming mail in your mailbox.

• Delete spam, especially any email asking for personal or fi nancial info; legitimate businesses

would never ask for personal information by email or during an unsolicited phone call.

• Be prepared should your credit or bank cards, driver’s license or SIN card are stolen or lost by keeping a list that includes expiration dates and account numbers in a safe place.

• If you’re concerned, conduct a property search to be sure title to your home is in your name.

Fraud can ruin your fi nances and personal life. Your professional advisor can provide the information you need and strategies you can use to prepare for the potential effects of fraud.

Why is it called canning when we use jars?

This was just one of the ques-tions oating around my head while my Renaissance sisters

and I peeled, blanched, julienned, and cubed vegetables and apples at a canning workshop hosted by Ruth Fenner, president of the Somenos Women’s Institute (SWI).

The Renaissance Women are a local group of women dedicated to re-skilling: learning back-to-basic skills so we can survive an apocalypse should it occur. During the past two years we have learned, among other things, how to keep bees, cast a y rod, make bread, soap and fer-mented soda, sew an apron, and taste wine — an important post-apocalyptic skill.

This month’s workshop was dedicated to can-ning. I remember my mom making crabapple jelly when I was young, and that it was my

favourite thing to spread on hot, buttered toast; apart from that, I had little experience eating home-canned food, let alone preserving it. I liked my ketchup and jams predictable in consistency and high in sodium and synthetic sugars; in other words, store-bought.

Trends change and these days it’s cool to preserve your own food. Martha Stewart shares canning tips that help you seal jars while making you look good in the process, or at least that’s the impression you get looking through her magazine pictures of evenly spaced, uniform jars of what must only be freshly preserved home-grown tomatoes sitting on a wooden table outside with rolling hills in the misty distance.

Friends of mine post pictures of their colour-ful jams and salsas on Facebook, as if to seek validation for their hard work, and raise the stakes for lurkers: You think you can can? Check these, friend.

Competing over preserved goods is nothing new—visit any of our local fairs and you’ll see rows of labour in the form of canned pears,

peaches, strawberry jam — but it wasn’t always trendy.

While I was a kid turning her nose up at pickled root vegetables, Fenner was feeding a family of four almost entirely with food she raised and grew on her Peace River farm. It wasn’t a chosen lifestyle then as it is now with hobby farmers who have moved out of the city to get dirt under their ngernails.

For Fenner and women like her, it was a way of life, a physically demanding but purposeful one, which is what many escaped city dwellers are likely seeking.

Meeting Fenner reminded me how de cient I am in the basic skills required to get the most from the abundance of food naturally provided in the Cowichan Valley. But she was thrilled to see so many of us interested in becoming pro cient in food preservation, and encouraged us to join the local Women’s Institute to bring fresh ideas and energy to the group.

The Women’s Institute was founded in Al-berta nearly 100 years ago by rural women who

wanted to improve quality of food and health for families. What our B.C. Women’s Institute has accomplished is awe-inspiring. Most notably they were in uential in the establishment of the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children in Victoria. Theirs was the rst Buy B.C. campaign in the 1930s.

All that, and teaching us amateurs how to can. I am grateful for Fenner’s work, as will my

children be, eventually. After that workshop, I too can can, and did so with a pile full of crabapples from our neighbour’s yard. Now my kids will remember how delicious their mom’s crabapple jelly tasted on hot buttered toast.

Cowichan needs Cowichan needs to be a partner to be a partner in its own waterin its own waterCowichan River:Cowichan River: Loosen the hands on the tap Loosen the hands on the tap

It was during Graham Bruce’s term in of ce during the rst half of the past decade — right about the same time the Cowichan was named a national heritage river — when this community rst started a concerted, organized effort to examine, protect, reclaim and enhance the Cowichan Lake

and River system.Industry, conservationists, farmers, shermen, local government —

pretty well everyone with an active stake in the river was involved.Since then their work has continued —

quietly perhaps, but with nothing less than diligence. They’ve reached some important conclusions and it is time the rest of the community took heed.

Our lake needs to be better utilized as a water storage tank. And we need a more active hand on the river’s tap to react and adapt to what Mother Nature presents us.

We’ve seen enough of this group to know that while they are motivated by different interests, they share a common

mantra: the Cowichan Lake and River system is our most precious resource. It must be managed effectively. It must be handled with care.

They’ve done the research. They’ve put in the effort. They have the community’s best interests at heart. We trust them to know what is best for this valley’s 80,000 inhabitants.

So when they say the regulations governing lake water storage and river ow management need adjustment, they need to be taken seriously. And the province needs to listen.

We are not suggesting the province be removed from the equa-tion. On the contrary, provincial presence is necessary to act as an outside arbiter, preventing one parochial interest or another from overwhelming the long view, or the greater community good.

But we are suggesting they loosen the reins and become partners in water management, rather than ivory-tower decision-makers.

Everyone of us depends on that water system every single day.

This we likeThis we likeAt the time of this writing, the Tour

de Rock was somewhere between Lake Cowichan and Duncan.

By the time you read this, they will be heading out of the valley on their home stretch run.

We hope they are leaving with the usual fond memories of the way they were greeted in the Cowichan Valley.

Thanks to them for their efforts and to you for your support.

The good and the bad of this week in CowichanThis we don’tThis we don’tThe man who rolled a tanker truck

and spilled thousands of litres of fuel into the sensitive Goldstream River, with three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, will receive 200 hours of community service, a driving prohibition and a conditional sentence for the incident.

We hope that is enough to send a message. More than fi sh could have been killed here.

We’re NImbys for good reasonWe’re NImbys for good reasonDear editor

As a homeowner whose property directly backs onto the old Chemainus elementary school, along with 10 or 12 other neighbours, we are all de nitely opposed to this particular site for a skateboard park and happy to be NIM-BY’s, as noted in a survey carried out in 2009.

We are all, generally, in favour of construct-ing a facility in Chemainus, and paying for it along with everyone else except for locating it at this site for the following reasons:

The site is approximately 2.95 acres, sur-rounded on three sides by private houses, and includes the abandoned old school buildings and paved areas which occupy about 1.13 acres of the total. Typical residential setbacks from the site are between 10 and 25 feet, literally within spitting distance for those on Seaview and Severne Streets. For those on Arbutus, El-liot and Beach Drive, it’s about 60 feet.

North Cowichan has no standards or regula-tions for the design, lighting, fencing, drainage, washrooms, safety, security, signage and hours of operation of this facility nor it’s location viz-a-viz residential development. Many other mu-nicipalities s do, with the typical recommended minimum setback being between 300 and 450 feet. They have been constructed closer, 100 to 200 feet, but in talking to a number of profes-sional skatepark designers and administrators they regret their decision. In this case it isn’t that we have long gardens in addition to the boundary setbacks, but all have houses really near the common property lines. In fact if the typical minimum setback of 300 feet were ap-plied the site is unusable for this purpose.

The major concern, and reason for having the setback, is noise and security. Facilities generally have strict rules of use with many prohibiting mixed use of bikes, in-line skates and skateboards. Many also have full-time supervision on site and include some payment for use.

Neither the previous mayor and council nor the current ones have bothered to contact the homeowners to discuss the matter, but hypo-critically are now trying to circumvent previous School District 79 decisions, turning down this use of the site, by applying to the new provincial administrator to overturn them in an underhand political move. I can guarantee that none of your recent correspondents would have this as close to their own properties as is being proposed, and I haven’t even begun to discuss loss of real estate value. There will certainly be one for each of us affected, perhaps council will make us all an offer we can’t refuse.

Skateparks are almost universally utilized by boys and young males. Girls get no advantage at all, or to speak of, from the expenditure. Typical usage is also very small, after the initial

blush. Just go to Duncan, Ladysmith and other sites and sit for two or three hours and watch.

Having spent my entire professional life estimating construction from $100,000 to $5 billion I think a budget for this should be $800,000 to $1 million with $80,000 to $100,000 per year for ongoing operational and security costs. Amortized this could easily be $750 to $1,000 per day. In any case the current budget of $350,000 for the project is, as usual, likely to prove wildly optimistic.Allen J. WillcocksChemainus

B.C.’s seniors are B.C.’s seniors are not a burden, but not a burden, but a growing realitya growing realityIn my opinion:In my opinion: Seniors need respect Seniors need respect

Seniors aren’t problems to be man-aged, and aging is not an illness. But too often we talk about older British Columbians that way, in terms both inaccurate and demeaning.

There are certainly challenges in growing older. But nothing happens at 65 that suddenly makes someone less of a person.

Seniors contribute a great deal. Like every-one else, they work, volunteer, support family members, nurture friendships, pursue hobbies and interests, and participate in community life. In B.C., more than 10,000 children are being raised by their grandparents with not a lot of support — a great challenge and contribution.

Yes, many British Columbians require society’s support as they age. But so do people of all ages — families needing day care, university students needing bursaries, commuters needing good roads and every-one needing health care. Yet, somehow, support for seniors tends to be viewed as a special burden.

Admittedly, demographics create some challeng-es. In 2001, there were 135,000 British Colum-bians over 80. By 2011, there were 197,000, a 46 per cent increase in 10 years. Similar increases lie ahead; by 2036, one in four of us will be over 65.

While we talk about supporting people as they age, we aren’t delivering. The B.C. ombudsper-son reported last year the number of publicly subsidized residential care beds increased by 3.4 per cent between 2002 and 2010. Meanwhile, the population over 80 — the main client base — increased by 34 per cent. Home support services also failed to keep up with the growth in the over-80 population.

Those of us in the community social services sector know it is a mistake to think seniors’ needs revolve around health care, as if aging is an illness.

Families do great work helping their elders. But not everyone has family members nearby, and often, professional skills are required.

That’s when the agencies that employ thousands of expert, dedicated people in the community social services sector take over. They support se-niors in their homes. They help with shopping and meals. They provide physiotherapy, and counsel-ling on everything from medications and health to emotional issues.

Our work produces pragmatic bene ts. For example, while it costs $72,000 a year to provide residential care (shared between seniors and gov-ernment), a few hours a week of home support can help people stay independent at a fraction of that expense. Community support is the best way to reduce demands on the health care system.

But really, this is about doing what’s right. Se-niors should be supported in their desire to live full, rich lives, and contribute.

It’s good that we recognize our elders through National Seniors Day, Oct. 1. But seniors don’t really need a day, or a press release. They need a citizenry and a government that treat them as valued people, not problems. When that happens, every day will be seniors’ day.

And we will be a stronger society.David Hay, PhD is the Executive Director of The Federation of Community Social Services of BC and is writing on behalf of the Roundtable of Provincial Social Services

Mom turns in teen son for dangerous drivingMom turns in teen son for dangerous drivingPeter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Fleeing Thursday’s police scene — and nearly hitting an of cer — earned a south Cowichan youth a dangerous-driving charge,

a ticket, an impounded car and a court date, police say.

Shawnigan Lake RCMP Cpl. Jason Kerr says the dangerous incident hap-pened at about 9 p.m. after of cers answered a report of youths partying in the rock quarry off Cobble Hill’s Thain Road

Of cers saw a white car driving up Thain toward the reported party site.

“When the car approached the of- cer who had remained with the ve-

hicle in the ditch, the of cer signaled for the car to stop, including yelling at the driver to stop through his open window as the car passed the of cer.”

But the car didn’t stop. The of cer returned to her police car and caught up to the car farther down Thain where the suspect’s car pulled over and stopped, Kerr said.

The driver said he hadn’t stopped because he couldn’t hear the of cer over loud music in his car, Kerr ex-plained. The suspect was identi ed as a 17-year-old male from Shawnigan Lake, who was the car’s registered owner, and sole occupant. Then things got nasty. Told he was to be prohibited from driving, Kerr said the male became upset and tried to grab his driver’s licence from the of cer.

“When this attempt failed, the male sped off, crossing the road and almost colliding with a tree.

“The driver then did a U-turn to face in the direction of the of cer, who was returning to her police car.”

“As the of cer passed the front of the police car, the suspect car passed

the police car at approximately 50 to 60 kilometres per hour — less than a foot from the driver’s side of the police vehicle,” Kerr said.

The suspect’s car ed the scene and was found abandoned in woods on his property. Folks at home con rmed the car had arrived at a high speed.

The dog squad didn’t nd the driver despite a three-hour search of some four kilometres around the home.

Police spoke with the driver’s mother, who lives at the residence. She said she’d bring her son to the detachment when he arrived home. At around 2 a.m. the driver showed at Shawnigan’s detachment, accompa-nied by his mom.

He was arrested for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

After being served a driving-prohibi-tion notice, a ticket, and having his ride impounded, the teen was released on a promise to appear in court Nov. 22.

Robson was considering retirement, and with Greg's wife, Carli

expecting their fi rst child, younger Robson had to choose between

buying his father's company and staying in the industry, or making a

change. With the logging business assuring lengthy periods away from

home and with a child on the way, Robson was open to alternatives.

“I had heard that The RV Place on the corner of Boys and the highway,

a repair facility at the time, was for sale. I decided to buy it.” says

Robson. “I hired a technician and it was just the two of us in parts and

service. In the end, and most importantly, is that none of this would

have been possible without the support of my wife, Carli and my two

children, Delaney and Grady.”

Thirteen years later, the decision obviously paid off. Greg's RV recently

completed a 15,000sq. ft full-service facility. Robson had outgrown the

two previous expansion buildings and rather than continuing to add

structures he chose to bring everyone under one roof, which fi t well

with his philosophy regarding the Greg's RV team.

“I'm extremely proud of my dedicated staff. They think of our customers

as friends and treat them the same way we all want to be treated. Our

management is fantastic. I can't put enough emphasis on our group,

our family - we call them our family and we mean it. From service to

parts to fi nance and insurance, sales...everyone. Everyone is part of a

really good core of people.”

Unlike many industries, Robson’s philosophy is substantiated in the

company’s low employee turnover. Many company personnel have

been with the organization since the early years. With consistent and

reliable staff the customers have taken notice over time, recognizing

and building relationships with the same familiar faces in parts, service

and sales departments.

On the surface, sales would seem the driving force behind growth.

However, Robson only partially agrees, “The reason for our growth is

not just because we're selling. We're growing because our customers

trust us and know they will be looked after. There's a big difference

there.”

Greg's RV has also been actively involved in fund-raising for good

causes. Robson has, quietly working with other organizers, raised over

$100,000 through golf tournaments for the BC Children's Hospital.

Yum! It’s liver ice cream for dessert!Yum! It’s liver ice cream for dessert!Caitlin McKayNews Leader Pictorial

Duck-liver ice cream?No thanks, I think I’ll

pass.But that expected

response didn’t last long for Cowichan chef Marissa Goodwin.

In fact, taste buds were quack-ing for more after foodies tried Goodwin`s four-spice duck-liver ice cream with chocolate sauce and duck-fat cashew toffee.

Daring participants at Victoria`s Number One Festival of Meat last month were surprised at the savory taste and their ability to keep the liver down.

“It was actually good! It was one of those concepts that you think about and you think it`s going to be good and you get worried but it turned out great,” Goodwin said. “I would never serve something disgusting to 500 people.”

Most testers were not immediately willing to try the Organic Fair Farms gourmet’s creation but after some

coaxing they changed their minds “There were a lot of guys and

daring men will try things — ‘the woman dared me so I have to eat it’ — and I have a good bossy mother voice that also works to get people to try it,” Goodwin explained. “Once they tried it, they were like ‘this is good.’”

Goodwin said she wanted to do something original using mostly organic ingredients from her farm.

“The whole idea of the event was to showcase the local meat and beer but I knew that most people would be using the common cuts,” she said.

“I wanted to take something that we wouldn’t normally use and do something different with it. I wanted to challenge myself and challenge people to eat it.”

Goodwin, who’s been cooking professionally since 2005, says she added a secret ingredient to her ice cream to make it taste better.

“Booze makes everything taste a little better!” she said.

If you still aren’t convinced, that’s OK. Goodwin is among more than a dozen master chefs taking part in the

second-annual James Barber fund-raiser at Providence Farm on Oct. 7.

She’ll be making a honey pumpkin spice ice cream with caramel corn for less daring foodies.

It’s part of the annual Chef’s Table fundraiser for Providence Farm programs.

Other chefs include: Allan Aik-man, Vancouver Island University; Brad Boisvert, Amuse Bistro on the Vineyard; Fatima da Silva, Bistro 161; Frédéric Desbiens, Saison Market Vineyard; Jonathan Duquette, Moby’s Oyster Bar; Matt Horn, Cowichan Pasta; Dan Hudson, Hudson’s On First; Bill Jones, Deerholme Farm; Dave Lang, North Island College; Janice Mans eld, Real Food Made Easy; Cory Pelan, The Whole Beast; Brock Windsor, Stone Soup Inn; Bruce Woods, Bruce’s Kitchen; and Chef Ryan Zuvich, Hilltop Bistro.

Tickets are $100. Guests will be provided a $50 charitable tax receipt. Beverages are included. To order tickets, email [email protected] or call 250-746-4204.

By the way, did you hear:• Duncan’s Angela Warnock,

quoted in our Sept. 14 story on kids’ pole dancing, came in second in the semi-pro division of the rst annual

B.C. Pole Fitness Championships in Campbell River Sept. 15.

• A grateful Maureen Gallacher is offering a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Duncan Safe-way after losing her wallet with “all I possess” in it. They eased her panic and had it back in her hands — thanks to the person who found it and turned it in to security — within a half-hour.

• Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association executive director Jennifer Barnes van Elk is thrilled about the creation of a new program — the Stable Management Vocational Development Program, designed to offer training and enhance job opportunities for people with disabilities in horse-related elds.

• Veterans and active military personnel can get a complimentary stay at Jacquie Gordon’s B&B in Duncan this Remembrance Day as part of a campaign called B&B for Vets.

• Following in the wake of many who have gone before her, Estell Crews of Sidney swam from Arbutus Park in Youbou to the Cowichan Lake Marina on Sept. 7, along with long-time friend and triathlete, Keith Evans. They were

escorted in their 7 1/2-hour journey by Ryan Mazis and his father from Orka Outdoor Recreation and Kayaking in a speed boat, as well as a friend in a kayak. Pastor Vicki Marrs blessed the swim before the two took to the water. Crews’s next challenge will be the Greek Islands and Croatia over the next couple of years.

• Alana Harley passed along a big thank you on behalf of the Cowichan Bulldogs football to the Mill Bay Fire Department for the use of its facilities to train volunteer trainers and to Mike Wright for not only putting on the rst-aid course but tailoring it to injuries that may occur in football. Peewee players Nick Young and Ronan Harley were the practice patients — full gear no less.

• School District 79 trustee Mike McKay tells us district energy manager Brian Brant-ing has been nominated for a PowerSmart award in recognition of the commitment being made in SD79 schools and other facilities to conserve energy, reduce costs and be kinder to theplanet.

Question: How can I provide ongoing support for someone who has suffered the death of a loved one?

Answer: For many of us the loss of a love one can become more intense in the weeks and months following a funeral.

It is important to maintain contact through regular visits and phone calls. Maybe offering an invitation out may

help provide support and relief from loneliness. For more suggestions or information, please contact one of our

Funeral Directors.

“Right Here inthe Cowichan Valley”

TEAM DUNCAN .NET.NET


Musician spreads the legend of Cougar AnnieMusician spreads the legend of Cougar AnnieCaitlin McKayNews Leader Pictorial

A Vancouver Island legend is coming to Duncan.

Musician Katrina Ka-doski’s critically acclaimed show Cougar Annie

Tales, depicts the life of the legendary Cougar Annie, a feisty pioneer woman who developed a reputation for hard living and sharp shooting.

The show brings Cougar Annie to life, as Kadoski using music and photos to tell her life story.

“There are photos of her throughout the show, showing her as a young girl and through life, and I think that`s what people are drawn to. It’s a real story, I’m not making it up,” Kadoski said.

“I’ve never put on a show like this before, where there are all these ele-ments on their own, but it`s something really special when you put them all together to tell a story about a person.”

Cougar Annie was born Ada Annie Rae-Arthur in 1888 and she settled near Hesquiat Harbour at Boat Basin in Clayoquot Sound.

She was nicknamed Cougar Annie, after shooting so many of the big cats. She claimed to have killed 62 cougars and 80 bears before her death in 1985.

Her house was restored and turned into a non-pro t organization called the Boat Basin Foundation. It was

there Kadoski rst learned about this spirited woman. Kadoski was hired to work in the garden which was the pride and joy of Annie’s life.

“The caretaker job opened and it was a golden opportunity for a songwriter to go to a magical garden and live in a beautiful cabin. People would come and take tours so I had to get to know her story quite intimately,” she said.

“I started to explore different ways to expand the story and that`s how I came up with the show.”

Kadoski says everyone can learn from Cougar Annie’s life and her struggles to be an independent woman and the talented musician tries to convey her hero`s message to her audience.

“I think the message is survival...as far as making a place for yourself in the world and working toward it and doing everything you can to survive and make your life as good as you can.”

A pioneer woman and 21st century musician might not have a lot in com-mon but Kadoski says she still can draw parallels between them and feels a connection to Annie.

“We are women of a different world but I see some parallel — to not be afraid, to do my own thinking. I carved my own path and I think that`s where we could relate,” she said.

“She wanted to create a life for herself that was so different from what

everyone else was doing and she was on the edge of her culture.”

It is from this connection that Kados-ki draws her inspiration for the show. She says she can feel the presence of Annie on the stage with her.

“When I rst wrote the show it was all song and I would tell the story of

her by introducing the songs but now she is actually on stage the whole time through the pictures,” she said.

“I think there is a real spirit of her in the show and it is really cool for people to learn about her in a new way.”

Paintings and reupholstered furniture make good bedfellows in Bonnie Schmaus’ world.

Samples of her acrylic (and maybe oil) paintings, capturing local people

and places, grace this weekend’s show and sale by the Maple Bay Painters and Cowichan Val-ley Potters at St. Peter’s church hall.

“I do the Cowichan Valley; whatever hits me,” said the Edmontonian, and 1964 Alberta College of Art grad.

“I paint lots of gardens, forests, people, and lots of sheep. I’ve always painted.”

But brushes and budgets didn’t often meet, she took Camosun College’s ne-furniture course in 1990 to pay the bills with restorations.

“Everyone needs a place to sit down, then you need something to put on your wall,” said the former Vancouver fashion-buyer.

“I moved to Victoria to retire, but soon got bored, and got into furniture,” the 10-year Cowichanian said.

Her joy comes from making sofas and can-vases “that are easy to live with.”

“It’s very important choosing a sofa — like choosing a husband — because you’ll have it forever, and the kids will probably have to keep your paintings as well.”

Results of both passions appeared in her

recent PORTALS solo show, that included Schmaus’ Cowichan couch.

That piece, made from all-local materials, now needs valley eece for stuf ng, and a weaver for fabrics. Eventually, she plans on daughter, Arwen, assuming her furniture busi-ness so Schmaus can resume painting.

“I’m usually outside, and our valley’s won-derful — I’ll probably paint more people.”

United Way Cowichan Supports Hiiye’yu Lelum SocietyStory by: Travis S.

My intrigued refl ection upon how I have benefi ted from receiving help from United Way Cowichan who partially funds the Breakfast Program at Hiiye’yu Lelum (House of Friendship)

Society. My name is Travis S. I am a born and raised Cowichan Valley resident that is currently attending adult basic education courses at Vancouver Island University (Cowichan Campus), which I love immensely.

I have been attending the Breakfast Program for a couple of years and fi nd it a good place to meet friends and family and to have an enjoyable breakfast and when I need I make a request for dry socks. Like many people in this day and age I too have benefi ted substantially from receiving help from United Way. With their help I have been able to

eliminate completely the consumption of alcohol and pain medications, I have also been able to obtain the necessities of life, such as food, clothing, emotional and spiritual help. United Way has helped me greater balance the sometimes almost impossible task of being self sustaining and practicing self reliance to return to work, attend appointments, enjoy healthy positive meaningful relationships.

I am a person who grapples with depression and A.D.D. I have attended the Cowichan Valley Basket Society located on Garden St, Duncan, BC. Cowichan United Way has enabled me to learn happiness is not a station you arrive at but a manner of travelling. Courage is grave under pressure. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference!

I would like to take this time to give thanks to any and all (past, present, and future) who support United Way Cowichan.

Andrew LeongStick save is made by Comox Valley goalie Josh Round, as he de ects the puck away from Kerry Park forward Kyle Horsman. The Islanders remained winless in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League with a 6-5 overtime loss to the Glacier Kings Saturday at Kerry Park Arena after being blanked 8-0 in Saanich Friday.

Victory eludes Victory eludes Islanders againIslanders againEight is enough:Eight is enough: Three-goal lead in the Three-goal lead in the third period vanishesthird period vanishes


Trying to win their rst game of the Vancou-ver Island Junior Hockey League season is proving far more dif cult than the Kerry Park Islanders thought.

Even with a two-goal lead and an eventual three-goal cushion in the third period, the Islanders still couldn’t put the Comox Valley Glacier Kings away Saturday night at Kerry Park Arena.

The Kings came storming back from a 5-2 de cit with three goals to tie it 5-5 and then won 6-5 in overtime.

The loss dropped the Islanders’ record to 0-6-2 for two points and last place in the VIJHL’s South Division.

Nolan Kinney and Trevor Parkhouse staked the Island-ers to a 2-0 lead in the rst period.

The Kings tied it in the second on markers by Nicholas Tupper and Jordan Kamprath.

The Islanders struck for three goals just 2:46 apart early in the third period to seemingly take control.

Braden Lundahl and Alex Milligan got it started with power-play markers before Milligan put away another marker while at even strength.

It took less than a minute for the Kings’ Brook Trainor to reply and another goal less than two minutes after that by Mitch Ball closed the de cit to one.

The equalizer came from Cody Eliason with 5:03 left in regulation.

Still with a chance to grab the two points, the Islanders gave up another goal at 3:38 of overtime to Trainor that decided the issue.

Both teams had plenty of power-play chances. The Kings went two-for-nine with the man advantage and the Islanders three-for-seven.

It was a much better effort for the Islanders than the previous night in Saanich, although it may have been dif- cult for the players to appreciate that, when they were

swamped 8-0.Tanner McGaw recorded the shutout with 22 saves.The Islanders were only in it for the rst period. They

surrendered ve goals to the Braves in the second.The Islanders will try to end their winless drought with

a rematch against the Kings in Courtenay Friday.The Islanders take on Saanich in a 3 p.m. start Sunday

at Kerry Park Arena.



Cowichan LMG Pringle remains unde-feated four games into its nine-game homestand to start the Vancouver Island Soccer League’s Div. 1 season.

Cowichan’s goals for total reached 15 with just one against after a 4-0 victory over Sooke Celtic Friday at Sherman Road Park.

“They were missing a few players,’’ said Co-wichan assistant coach Kevin James. “They had

four or ve call-ups.’’Sooke always plays a physical game, but

couldn’t match the pace of Cowichan.Dan Citra scored a pair of goals while Chris

Arnett and Tyler Hughes, off a free kick, added singles. “It was an absolute cracker into the top corner,’’ James said of the goal by Hughes, who was the team’s man of the match.

Joel Wilson recorded his third shutout.“Our tness level is getting better and better,’’

said James. “When you’ve got pace and tness, it’s pretty hard to defend that.’’

Cowichan is making the most of its string of early-season home games to jump into the lead in the standings, just as it did last season.

“It’s good to have some home games in the rst half the way our pitch deteriorates halfway

through the season,’’ said James.Cowichan’s record will be tested when Vic

West visits Friday night. Vic West is 3-0.“They’re a good, fast young team,’’ said James.

“We’re not going to be able to run by them like we’ve been doing the last couple of games.

“They’ll match up a lot better in pace.’’

Citra’s pair sets the pace in 4-0 blanking of SookeCitra’s pair sets the pace in 4-0 blanking of SookePlaying keepaway from Doug Armstrong of Sooke is Cowichan LMG Pringle’s Matt Arnett. Co-wichan is off to another great start in Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League despite the loss of Brian Carriere, a key member of last season’s squad. “We’ve got guys that are lling in and doing the job,’’ said Cowichan assistant coach Kevin James.

“It was exciting and surpris-ing when I received the letter because I never thought I would be pursuing eld hockey at this level,’’ noted Crowley.

Despite being from hockey-mad New Zealand, Crowley didn’t pick up on the sport until she came to Canada.

The four players have also made Vancouver Island’s rst-ever Premier ladies’ team.

Cleemoff was captain of the U15 B.C. Blue team that won the U16 nationals in Surrey with Crowley and other Co-wichan products Sara Lowes, Krystyna Neal and Maddie Smith on the roster.

Kelsey Goodman and Brit-tany Smith were members of the B.C. White team that claimed the bronze medal.

Credit South Delta Second-ary for keeping some form of the John Ferreira eld hockey tournament alive.

There wasn’t time or enough available teams to stage a proper tournament this year, but South Delta made a commitment to come anyway, playing games against Cow-ichan Secondary and Frances Kelsey Sunday at the Cowichan Sportsplex.

No trophy was awarded, but the tournament will return in an expanded form again next season.

Cowichan and South Delta tied 1-1 in the opening game. South Delta then defeated Kelsey 4-1.

“They’re using this as a team bond-ing thing,’’ Cowichan coach Gillian Braun said of South Delta.

South Delta coach Neil McLennan knew Ferreira, the former Cowichan coach whom the tournament is name after, and has always made an effort to bring his team over from the begin-

ning.“We have a connection ourselves

and we can look at each other and see we’re warriors of this sport,’’ said Braun.

A lot of coaches, including Braun, and teams weren’t available for the weekend due to the 50th anniversary of UVic athletics Friday and Saturday in Victoria.

“A lot of the umpires we normally have and coaches wanted to attend that,’’ said Braun.

South Delta added a game against Brentwood College Saturday to make the overnight trip more complete.

The Cowichan-South Delta clash was like many meetings between the teams in a glorious past tournament history.

“There was good structure from both teams,’’ said Braun, who’s returning as Cowichan coach this season after a ve-year absence.She said goalkeeper Tara Eriksen

did a great job keeping Cowichan in the game with a style reminiscent of a young Jaimie Coulter or Monica

Morgan.“It’s good she’s stepped up,’’ said

Braun of Eriksen. “We had nobody on the rst day of tryouts.’’

South Delta still scored rst.“I thought, ‘oh, oh’ because we were

really tentative,’’ said Braun.But Cowichan turned it on and got

the tying goal from Krystyna Neal.“We just need to work on our team

process,’’ said Braun.“I’ve got a good feeling about our

team. They’re certainly hard-working and come focused to practice.’’

Kelsey mixed a team of juniors and seniors together for a friendly with South Delta and scored rst.

“The girls all enjoyed playing in the fun game together, a good experience for them all,’’ noted Kelsey coach Wendy Erickson.

Junior goalie Hannah Quayle and Grade 9 student Marina Ellison had excellent games. Exchange student Livlrene Korstad enjoyed her rst eld hockey experience.

The teams play in the prestigious Bridgman Cup on the long weekend.

Don BodgerJessica Bernatcher of Frances Kelsey nds an opportunity to go full steam ahead for the ball against South Delta Sunday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. She’s backed up by Olivia Hardman.

There’s something strange about early-season B.C. Hockey League battles between the Cowichan Valley Capitals and the

Alberni Valley Bulldogs.“Very weird match-ups with those

guys,’’ conceded Caps’ coach Jim Ingram after his team defeated the Bulldogs 6-4 Friday night at Cow-ichan Arena for its rst win since the opening game of the Showcase tournament in Chilliwack Sept. 8.

A previous meeting with the Bull-dogs ended in an 8-7 shootout loss for the Caps in Port Alberni.

“It had that feel again,’’ said Ingram of a high-scoring affair. “It’s never over.’’

The second period actually ended with the Caps leading 6-4 and there was no scoring in the third.

“We talked about coverage in our zone and lack thereof after the second period,’’ said Ingram.

The Caps tightened up and pro-tected the lead well, giving up just nine shots in the third.

“When you go young on the back end, you want to be out there in your dress shoes helping out any way you can,’’ quipped Ingram.

It’s simply a process that will take time for the young defence corps to become a unit.

“We’ve got a good feel about us,’’ said Ingram. “We knew we were go-ing to have some tough days.’’

On the offensive front, it was a good game for the Caps with ve players collecting two or more points.

Matt Grant and Steen Cooper led the way with two goals and one assist each.

Recent changes gave the Caps’ forward line a new look, with the ad-dition of Teal Burns, Travis Stephens and Kerry Park Islanders’ af liate Kyle Horsman, who was the Fortis B.C. Energy Player of the Game.

Burns contributed two assists and “I think he’s going to be a good t for us and put some points on the board,’’ said Ingram.

Former Western Hockey League player Ryan Hanes continued his tor-

rid pace with a goal and an assist.The Bulldogs and Caps meet yet

again Friday at Cowichan Arena.“I’d like a little bit less drama to it,

to be honest with you,’’ said Ingram.Saturday night, former Caps’ coach

Scott Robinson brings his Salmon Arm SilverBacks to town. Robinson and Ingram go way back and still keep in contact.

Ingram formerly served as an as-sistant to Robinson with the Caps.

“I’m glad he got back in the league,’’ said Ingram.

After leaving the Caps, Robinson went to the Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League. The franchise lasted just two seasons before folding.

Toby Owen

Toby Owen found his calling when he switched to field hockey goalkeeper

as his sports specialty. Grade 12 Frances Kelsey student Owen, who

turns 17 on Nov. 28, took advice from Alanna Martin to heart. “She

recommended field hockey,’’ said Owen. He ended a long run in soccer

after Grade 10. “I realized I probably had a future in field hockey and I’m

way better at it than I am in soccer,’’ Owen said. He played on the U16

B.C. team that won the nationals last year and the victorious Canada

Cup U18 squad this summer. Owen is currently with the Victoria Selects

Premier League team. He’s learned a great deal about the mental game

required of a goalkeeper. “If you let a goal in, it’s a challenge to bounce

back and not blame it all on yourself,’’ Owen said.view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

In a unique turn of events, a married couple will cruise Vancouver Island as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Const. Dorothy Junio, the Oak Bay police school resource officer, will tackle the Tour de Rock alongside husband Const. Jett Junio of Saanich police.

They are the first married couple to take part in the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser.

“You only get to do it once and to do it together …,” Dorothy

began. “It’s a unique opportunity for sure,” Jett

finished. “We have the luxury of debriefing everything we do from work to riding because we’re on the same page.”

They also share in fundraising responsibilities and aside from police work, in a local business as well. Jett returns to the Saanich police ranks in January after an 18-month leave to run Riders Cycles, a bicycle business on Cloverdale Avenue that the couple purchased a year ago.

The Junios came to Victoria four years ago after long careers with the Edmonton Police Service.

Cops for Cancer fundraisers were

rooted in Edmonton. The Island-wide ride, Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, developed from those events in the mid-1990s.

“We knew the event (in Edmonton) was raising funds for kids with cancer, but the magnitude didn’t hit us until we got here,” Jett said.

“The fever we didn’t feel until we got to the Island,” Dorothy added. “The whole Island embracing it is amazing.”

With their kids, Adam and Ethan hitting 16 and 17 this year, they felt an opportunity to make a commitment to the cause. Plus it’s a year of milestones for the pair; both turned 50, celebrated 25 years of policing and it’s the 15th year of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Then there’s the illness itself. Dorothy’s mom developed cancer (she’s faring well right now), and suddenly they saw it throughout their peers.

“It became a big deal,” Dorothy said. The biggest hurdles won’t be the

kilometres-long hills or rainy days spent on a bike.

“It’s going to be the emotions,” Dorothy said. “You sometimes have to battle that along with the physical.”

As for the highs, just participating and seeing people dig deep to give is already providing those.

“The ride itself is secondary,” Jett said. “It’s a vehicle to reach out to people for a greater cause: the kids.”

“You only get to do it once and do it together …”– Const. Dorothy Junio

TO LOVE, HONOUR AND …Police officers Jett and Dorothy Junio are the first married couple to take on Tour de Rock CYCLE FOR KIDS

Christine van Reeuwyk/Black Press

Police officers Dorothy and Jett Junio, owners of Riders Cycles in Saanich, will be the first married couple to take on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock ride this fall.
