Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
North Cowichan’s outspoken council-lor John Koury is of� cially seeking the mayor’s chair in the
Nov. 15 election.Citing budgetary concerns,
high taxes, missed development opportunities, and municipal management issues, Koury is the � rst hopeful to declare he’s run-ning to replace current mayor, Jon Lefebure.
“We need to raise the standard of governance that is currently lacking,” the two-term councillor says in Wednesday’s press release.
“We need to end political activ-ism at the council table and restore reasonable, common-sense deci-sion making to North Cowichan. Voters are ready for a change.”
Lefebure was mum this week when asked by the News Leader Pictorial if he’ll seek his fourth non-consecutive term in the mayor’s seat he’s held since being reelected in the 2011 election. (He was also elected in 2002 and 2005).
“I’m going to make my (may-oral candidacy) decision in early September,” he said of discussing another term — now set at four years by Victoria — with his fam-ily, while mulling “if the commu-nity wants me back.”
Obviously Koury doesn’t, and he’s willing to risk his seat to chal-
lenge Lefebure.“There is a lot to do to put
North Cowichan on the path back to prosperity.
“We are punching way below our weight in economic develop-ment and I know we can achieve more,” his release claims.
Lefebure said he wasn’t surprised about Koury’s mayoral aspirations that have basically been a poorly guarded secret.
“He’s made it clear by his ac-tions,” the mayor said of Koury’s blunt stances during budgetary and other debates.
But Lefebure declined to com-ment about Koury’s � scal-man-agement claims in his release.
“It really doesn’t make much sense to me,” he said of Koury’s statement that “we need to set the economic table for sustainable growth. Growth that will provide
job opportunities for working families.”
Lefebure cited council’s tax-revitalization bylaw to spark smart growth and densi� cation by working with developers in the University Village, Crofton, Chemainus and elsewhere.
“We have set the table very well for controlled development in designated areas,” Lefebure said, pointing to commercial-condo projects in Crofton and near Duncan, plus Mural Town’s new shopping centre on Pine Street.
Meanwhile, Koury — who formerly sought Cowichan riding’s federal seat and lost — claims “people are ready to hold them (some councillors) to account for the past three years, and I am looking forward to engaging with the public on my own track record.”

Laura Chafe suspected some-thing was tragically wrong about the July 10 death of her father at Cowichan District Hospital.
A week after Gordon Herman Kriese, 82, died — following a July 3 alterca-tion with another CDH patient — the police and Island Health began probing Chafe’s claims her dad’s death may have been hastened by the fracas ac-knowledged by Island Health brass.
The B.C. Corner’s investigation into Kriese’s death began July 25.
“An incident between two patients at Cowichan District Hospital occurred on July 3, witnessed by staff,” Island Health’s Sarah Plank says in an email.
“It was quickly diffused by staff, and appropriate medical treatment was provided. Both families were contacted immediately.”
Chafe’s claims the altercation may have quickened Kriese’s death weren’t initially voiced to Island Health, but to the News Leader Pictorial.
The Leader called the B.C. Coroner’s of� ce — where of� cials had no knowl-edge of Kriese’s death — and lsland Health.
“The individual that you spoke with (Chafe) did not contact us to inform us of her concerns and allegations,” Island Health’s Val Wilson’s email to the Leader says.
“We had no knowledge of her con-cerns and these very serious allegations until contacted by media (July 17.)
“After learning of these allegations, we immediately contacted the family member, and encouraged her to call our patient-care quality of� ce so we can ensure her concerns are reviewed and addressed, however, she declined,” Wilson says.
Given the seriousness of her allega-tions, Island Health contacted police
in Duncan to report the claims, Wilson explains.
Island Health requested police investi-gate the family’s assertions the incident at CDH was potentially criminal in nature, Plank states.
“We had not seen the incident in that light and immediately sought the inde-pendent expertise of the police.
“Island Health is currently conduct-ing an internal review and cooperating with the RCMP in their investigation. We understand the coroner is also investigating.”
But Mounties indicate they weren’t immediately noti� ed by hospital staff of the altercation, nor of Kriese’s eventual demise, until eight days after he died and his family began asking questions about his death.
“Our of� ce did receive a report from CDH on July 18 stating they were in contact with a patient’s family member who believed there may be criminal be-haviour involved in their father’s death, which occurred at CHD on July 10,” an email to the News Leader Pictorial from North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Krista Hobday says.

The biggest boost for mature skin is to focus on a fresh, hydrated complexion. Use a creamy or milky cleanser on face and body and avoid soap as it can be very drying. Moisturizers containing a 4% AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) to help speed up cell-turnover and hyaluronic acid to
help your skin retain hydration, are very effective.
Don’t forget your lips; hydrated, moist lips add to a healthy appearance.
Makeup for mature skin will be lighter. A sheer-tinted moisturizer with a sunscreen will add radiance and protection. A light cream blush adds a dewy fi nish. No need to powder your nose.
Our eyelids can become quite red as we age. On eyelids, I recommend using a concealer, you will be amazed at how this brightens your eyes. Look for a rich creamy formula that won’t cake and emphasize lines.
I would suggest little or no eye shadow on lids
if they are crepey, focus more on a soft taupe pencil to defi ne your eyes instead. Mascara really does make a big difference on your eyes, even if only applied to top lashes to avoid smudges underneath.
The biggest difference you can make by way of makeup would be to defi ne your eyebrows. Trust me on this, if you do nothing else, defi ne your eyebrows!
I would love to meet with you to discuss any concerns you have; you will fi nd me friendly, and knowledgeable. I love to play with makeup, and am just as enthusiastic now as I was when I fi rst found my mother’s makeup bag (oh so many years ago).

In late June, Audrey Schroeder got devastating news.
The 41-year-old woman, who had a kidney donor come forward thanks to a Facebook campaign and an
appeal through the News Leader Pictorial, learned two months ago that her donor, local Paul Martin, was no longer a match. The news came after Martin went through a number of tests.
“When I found out the news I was dev-astated; I thought it (the transplant) would happen,” the mother of three girls said. “I felt it was my only frigging hope; it was finally going to happen.”
Her daughters she said, are taking it hard.“My older children are dealing with the
news in their own way, they don’t want to show they’re upset, it’s quite a blow to the whole family, they want their mom to be healthy.”
Martin felt almost as bad.“I was absolutely heartbroken,” Martin
said. “I’m as heartbroken as Audrey is, well probably not as much, because she’s the one who’s sick.”
After two stories ran in this paper last No-vember about Schroeder’s plight, Martin volunteered to donate a kidney and began a series of extensive psychological and physical tests required by B.C. Transplant before the surgery was approved.
An EKG, chest X-rays, a kidney ultra-
sound and numerous blood tests later, things were looking promising for Schroed-er, who receives dialysis three times a week.
But Martin said a CT scan of his kidneys revealed he has too many arteries supply-ing blood to his kidneys — he has three — which he was told makes surgery more difficult and decreases the chances of suc-cess. Schroeder said the normal number of arteries is one or two.
According to B.C. Transplant’s website: http://www.transplant.bc.ca, the median waiting time in B.C. in 2012 for adults waiting for a deceased donor’s kidney ranged from 24.19 months to 99.47 years, depending on blood type. In Schroeder’s case, her blood type is B positive, the wait is 99.47 months.
Heather Johnson, director of programs with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. branch, said donors and recipients do not have to be the same blood type to be a match, adding that if a person is medically suitable for a transplant, their wait time on the list for a cadaveric kidney starts the day they start dialysis.
In 2013, there were 67 deceased organ do-nors in B.C. Three hundred and eighty four people are currently waiting for a transplant from a deceased person.
There are no waits for a live transplant if the live donor passes all B.C. Transplant’s medical tests.
Since 1976, there have been 800 live kidney donations in B.C.; 1999 was the first year that the number of kidney transplants from living donors outweighed the number from cadaveric donors.
The five-year survival rate for kidney re-cipients from a non-related donor is 97.2%
Given the bad news, the now-chronically tired Schroeder has moved on to Plan B.
Starting Aug. 5, she’s receiving training so that she can do her own dialysis at home. The training, which she says normally takes eight weeks, will only take four in her case, because, “I’m already needling myself.”
Those wanting to receive home dialysis must live in a residence where the plumbing and electrical can be rerouted to accommo-date the dialysis machine. It’s preferred, but not required, that they live with someone who can support them with home dialysis.
Until she gets another donor, the dialysis patient is pinning her hopes on home dialysis.
“They’ve told me I can benefit from more dialysis, it will allow me to be a Mom for my kids.”
Those interested in exploring donating a kidney to Schroeder can contact her at [email protected] The Living Donor Expense Reimbursement Program helps donors with some of the costs related to assessment and donation, including time away from work.

The City of Duncan, all areas of North Cowichan wa-ter systems - including Chemainus, Crofton and the south end - and the Honeymoon Bay and Woodley Range water systems within the Cowichan Valley Regional District have increased their water restric-
tions from stage two to three.All other water users within the CVRD, with the exception of
Honeymoon Bay and Woodley Range, remain at stage two.Concerns about a low snow pack, lack of rainfall, and the dry
summer, have resulted in the municipalities increasing the water restrictions from stage 2 to stage 3. The change came into effect July 29.
Stage three water restrictions in Duncan and North Cowichan include: no lawn or boulevard sprinkling; no filling of swimming pools, hot tubs or garden ponds; no washing of vehicles, boats, driveways or houses.
What is permitted: hand watering of trees, shrubs and gardens with a hose and spring-loaded nozzle or bucket any day between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.; sprinkling school and municipal playing fields.
Stage three water restrictions in specified areas within the CVRD include: no lawn or boulevard sprinkling; no filling of swimming pools, hot tubs or garden ponds; no washing of vehicles, boats, driveways or houses.
What is permitted: hand watering for a maximum of one hour of new or existing trees, shrubs, flower/vegetable gardens with a hose or hand-held container between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Stage two water restrictions for most of the CVRD: even addresses are allowed to water on Wednesdays and Saturdays — 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.; while odd addresses are allowed to water on Thursdays and Sundays — 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Trees, shrubs and gardens can be hand-watered any day during the above specified hours with a hose and a spring-loaded nozzle or bucket. Residents with automatic sprinklers are reminded they are responsible for programming their sprinklers so they fall within the watering timelines.
Those hearing a fire siren are urged to turn off their sprinklers immediately.
For more information about watering restrictions, contact the City of Duncan at 746-6126 or check its website out at www.duncan.ca; for North Cowichan, call the North Cowichan En-gineering Department at 250 746-3128. For the CVRD, contact the engineering services department at: 250 746-2530.

B.C/Yukon command aims to boost Branch 53 membership for closed LegionGot a comment or a story?email [email protected] 250-856-0049 There’s light at tunnel’s end for Cowichan’s
struggling Legion that closed Thursday in downtown Duncan, the B.C./Yukon com-mander explains.
Angus Stanfield says in an email to the News Leader Pictorial — that first reported Branch 53 was closing July 31 — that “B.C. Yukon Command of the Legion is intervening
in this branch to help preserve it for the com-munity it has served with such distinction.”
“Although the Legion branch is giving up its lease in (the Canada Building), it does not mean a closure of other important branch activities, membership meetings, or the mandate to serve veterans.”
Command spokeswoman Inge Kruse said
the brass is “targeting” Cowichan to help boost memberships (about $50 a year) and aims to reopen the branch elsewhere, with a lounge and kitchen.
“A management committee is being formed under the trustee, and the branch charter is still intact, not cancelled,” notes Stanfield.

A new centre for the Malahat Nation - a legacy of a program created by former lieutenant-governor
Stephen Point and Rotarian Bob Blacker — will open Wednesday, Aug. 6.
During his tenure as LG from 2008 to 2012, Point created the Write to Read program. The purpose of the program is to build ongoing and lasting relationships between British Columbians living in urban environments and First Nations people living in rural, remote, or suburban communities that may not have good educa-tional and employment opportuni-ties. The program’s main focus is on
improving Aboriginal literacy.The 3,000-square-foot building
has two main areas and will be used for two primary purposes, Malahat Nation chief Michael Harry said.
On one side is a replica of a tradi-tional longhouse and on the other, a literacy centre for the band’s children and youths. The facility will also be used for early child-hood education programs and be a gathering place.
“This building provides us with the opportunity to learn through reading and education and ties in with the opportunity to learn about our historical ways, which are being passed on to this day,” Harry said.
Write to Read secures donations of books appropriate for school-age children, as well as computers. As far as the physical facility in
which to house those books, Harry said Britco Structures of Langley, which has been a program partner from the beginning, provided first one, then two modular trailers for a library. An architect was hired and 18 months later the Nation is eager to show off its cultural resource facility.
The project cost $650,000, with $150,000 coming from the Malahat Band and another $500,000 in fun-draising, and cash contributions.
“This centre allows us to help educate our children and maintain our cultural values and beliefs,” Harry said.
Those interested in attending the grand opening, on Aug. 6 at 2 p.m. at 1 Kwunew Kwasun Lane in Mill Bay should contact Sharon Marshall at [email protected].

Records requestedfrom page 1
“We immediately opened an operational file and are actively conducting an investigation, in conjunction with the Corner’s office regarding this incident.”
The week-long gap between Kriese’s death and investigation starting also included CDH’s failure to notify the coroner’s office, lsland Health officials now admit.
“Regarding coroner notification, it is not a normal process to notify the coroner in the death of a pallia-tive patient,” Plank’s statement says.
“After a discussion with the coroner’s office, we rec-ognize in this case we should have contacted them.
“We will be working with the coroner’s office to provide education to staff at CDH to ensure better awareness of reporting requirements.”
Coroner Barb McLintock told the Leader Wednes-day her office was called by Chafe July 25, and the coroner has launched a full investigation into Kriese’s death as if it had been reported right after he died.
“We have requested (Kriese’s) records from Island Health,” she said, noting police will decide if his death was suspicious, and the coroner will decide if more investigation is needed.
“The family has suggested there’s more to this story than meets the eye,” said McLintock, “but I can’t prejudice our findings.”

Make water wasting a crimeD
on’t waste another drop of water.Not one.Many Cowichanians are � nally awaking to
the fact our wonderful, seemingly endless water source is threatened by overuse and abuse,
climate change, and pollution.Just look at our near-dry river. Sadly, some locals remain
blissfully ignorant of how precious our water supplies are.Education and big newspaper ads advising against water use
are helping open their minds, but that’s proving too slow as seen by some folks merrily water lawns, and even � lling swim-ming pools.
Water wasters need far stiffer � nes, and jail time if necessary, to make them change their ways. Those measures may not be
available yet, but valley bylaw of� cers should be busy handing out what meagre � nes are on the local books now.
We’re that close to a valley-wide drought. Valley stakeholders are already working feverishly to save � sh in our hot heritage river.
It may be too little, too late.Years of taking our water sup-
plies for granted have seen people power washing sidewalks, running taps during teeth brushing, ignoring
yard-sprinkling regulations, � ushing toilets on a whim, and other apathetic actions unheard of countries where tap water is unsafe to drink.
Many Cowichanians are also buying bottled water — un-controlled by health-quality laws — as if our aquifers are already empty. They will be if drastic measures aren’t taken now to stop water wasting.
North Cowichan, Duncan, and the CVRD must order wa-ter metering throughout the valley so users pay to pour.
That heavy measure may not help us this summer but it could bring us into the real world of dwindling water supplies by next year.
Meanwhile, let your lawn burn; sweep your driveway; take short showers; and � ush your toilet only when necessary.
The case againstPeople considering running as candi-
dates are better to wait until late sum-mer before announcing their intentions for the November elections.
People are on holidays and absorbed with summertime activities and not really thinking much about what they’re going to do in the fall.
The strategy is to wait for the most opportune time to announce candidacy and that’s not now.
Seeing both sides of: earlier electioneeringSeeing both sides of: earlier electioneeringSeeing both sides of: earlier electioneeringThe case forIt’s always good for candidates to
make their declarations early and get on with the process of educating voters about their respective platforms.
It takes considerable time for voters to digest information on everyone running for council, school board or regional district positions so the longer lead-up, the better.
November will be here before you know it.

Mel BurgessSpecial to the News Leader Pictorial
I feel that more than ever our govern-ment is out of touch with the realities of teaching in the 21st century.
Myth 1: Teachers can be at work and not workWhen I was locked out, the govern-
ment said “You don’t have to leave at lunch.” As a teacher, you can’t do both. You can’t stay inside a school and not work. I can’t even walk more than 10 feet before I am � agged down by students who need help. In fact, my students are adults (18+), and many of them work full time and onlt come in at lunch in order to get help, because they, like me, have families to feed and bills to pay.
Myth 2: Teachers work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.My employer thinks I work for only 6.5
hours a day. Teachers don’t get materials with which to teach. They have to create them. While many schools have textbooks, most of them are outdated and boring.
Teachers today work hard to create resources
which suit their teaching style and that will hopefully capture the curiosity and imagina-tions of their students. I put in countless hours well into the night planning, marking, revising, adapting, recording, and re� ecting upon my teaching, my resources, and my students.
Don’t believe me? Come tomy house on a Friday night to experience this “party.”
Myth 3: Teaching is a secure jobGone are the days where teachers picked a
grade, then taught it for the rest of their career. To keep a job as a teacher, you need to have
three contracts that add up to a certain amount of time before you can be considered full-time. I have either been laid off or lost my job as a teacher no fewer than � ve times in 13 years. I consider myself lucky.
Many of my friends have lost their jobs every year for a decade. This means that they have to create all new materials for the next year’s grade which most likely they have never taught before.
Myth 4: Teachers get their summers offA more accurate statement would be,
“Teachers get paid an annual salary over 10
months unless they defer payments over 12 months.”
When you start teaching, you take home very little pay. Saving money for an entire summer off is an impossibility for starting teachers. In fact, I know very few teachers my age who can afford to take off an entire summer.
Last year was my 12th year of teaching full time and it was the � rst summer I have taken off since I was 14 years old. I simply couldn’t afford it. I worked at whatever job I could � nd to pay the bills for my holidays.
Myth 5: Teachers make a lot of moneyAfter 13 years of teaching full time, I rejoice
in how much money I am now making. I received a paystub six months ago where I now � nally receive the same amount of money in a two-week period as I routinely made in 1999 working forestry.
I learned in my � rst year as a teacher that it was just safer to not look at my pay stub. It was too depressing after � ve years of university to then calculate how many centuries it would take to pay off my loans.
Myth 6: Teachers want more.Here is a list of the things that I want:1. I want a workplace for all teachers where
we can all feel safe and healthy.2. I want to be able to connect with each
student each day — smaller class sizes.3. I want to be able to support students who
are vulnerable.4. I want to be able to help students who need
extra help.5. I want pay which is comparable to what
other teachers make across Canada.And while I feel we teachers have worked tire-
lessly to earn the respect of much of the public, I want the respect of our elected of� cials who believe that public education is an “expense” that needs to be “balanced” rather than an “investment” in a brighter future for BC.Mel Burgess is a Cowichan teacher.

Bring back white bins and put them at Fisher RoadDear editor
Just a thought: Would it be possible to place the sorely missed recycle bins at the Fisher Road Recycling facility?
The bins would be monitored there and when a CVRD truck was in the vicinity, the bins could be taken back to Bings Creek for processing.Angela GustafsonCobble Hill
Ask yourself who is more likely to have an agenda?Dear editor
Although there is no debate among 97% of climate scientists about anthropogenic climate change being a real problem for mankind, there are still numerous skeptics, deniers and conserva-tive political advocates who are stirring up the pot and sowing the seeds of doubt in our minds. Patrick Hrushowy tried to do just that in his July 4 letter to the editor. Skeptics like to throw up strawmen to muddy the waters like replacing Al Gore as the bo-geyman on global warming with Obama, someone who has in-spired more antipathy in Republi-cans than any other president.
Mr. Hrushowy may be sincere about what he believes but to convince the rank and � le to lean toward his view he must answer one critical question. What is the motivation for thousands of sci-entists from countries around the globe to foment a conspiracy to mislead the public about such an
important issue and to do so for many decades? Clearly, scientists who are doing research know more about this than the general public, conservative politicians and fossil-fuel executives and climate change has been studied more than any other subject in history. Follow the money. Who has more to gain from this? Fos-sil-fuel companies and the politi-cians whose campaigns they fund with liberal amounts of cash, or scientists who spend months on frosty glaciers in Greenland or ice � oes in the Arctic drilling ice core samples. Brrrrr. Why risk their reputations for that? I would be betting on the oil, gas and coal execs frolicking on their yachts in the Caribbean. Who would you trust more, someone whose life is dedicated to searching for the truth (because that is what scientists do), or someone whose raison d’etre is increasing pro� t margins? I bet Mr. Hrushowy does not have a plausible answer.Pete KeberCobble Hill
Temper your temperature claimsDear editor
It’s impossible to resist com-
ment. Yet another claimant that “every temperature record one looks at has recently been broken.” Pray tell, just where were these temperatures measured and by whom and using what technol-ogy? Surely not at the summit of a volcano in Hawaii where the temperature changes considerably from day to night. Review Ross McKittrick’s myenvironment.ca to see actual Canadian data that clearly puts the lie to Gore, Suzuki and Weaver’s computer-modelled “hockey stick.”Pat MulcahySaltair
Hospice grateful for the supportDear editor
Thank you to Cowichan Valley Regional District directors for their careful deliberations and decision to recommend that a re-gional service function be created to contribute to hospice care for our community! Thank you also to municipal council members for endorsing this recommendation.
In Cowichan we have among the highest proportions of aging people in B.C. who will need hospice services and conversely in coming years the Cowichan
region will have a declining proportion of potential caregiv-ers from within the working age population. There is a growing need for care for people at the end of their lives and for people griev-ing a death.
Cowichan Valley Hospice is working with our community to develop the care that is needed now and into the future. Ongo-ing funding from the CVRD will provide a solid anchor for hospice services. It also sends a strong signal about our community’s commitment to the ongoing development of end-of-life and bereavement care.Gretchen Hartley, executive directorCowichan Valley Hospice
Maintaining the farm a costly ventureDear editor
If only it was true…
A correction to Pictures of the Past in the Friday July 25th edition of the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial.
The photograph is of the main farmhouse at Fairburn Farm. John Jackson married Mary Reid who named the property Fairburn Farm meaning beautiful stream in Scottish idiom. John Jackson died around 1900 and his widow, Mary Jackson, married Charles Doering in 1911, the wealthy brewery owner, who died in 1936. Mary Doering lived at Fairburn Farm almost until her death in 1950 and the 1,200-acre property was sold to MacMillan Bloedel except for 130 acres. In 1954 Mollie and Jack Archer relo-cated from Victoria and began the Vancouver Island Organic Coop-erative on a rundown 130 acres with an almost derelict house.
The cooperative collapsed but Mollie and Jack remained com-mitted to their dream. Mollie was a teacher at Fairbridge, Koksilah and Alexander schools while Jack worked as an electrician at Crofton Pulp Mill. All their � -nances went into saving the house and many farm buildings for their historical value. Mollie and Jack, with son Darrel, operated children’s summer camp, Western Riding Stables and eventually farm vacations to maintain the farm. Mollie and Jack’s grand-daughter, Maryann and husband Brett, now run the Guesthouse as a Bed and Breakfast while the farm is a self-suf� cient water buf-falo dairy (pioneered by Darrel and myself) operated by their grandson Richard and � ancée, Alicia. We will never be wealthy but our pride and integrity will keep the dream alive.Anthea ArcherDuncan

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.
“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”
Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheel-in shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”
Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.
The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Reconnections one of volunteering rewardsDateline 1963: VAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial
Among the many rewards of volunteering with vulnerable seniors is the reconnection with those I’ve meet socially, during my reporting years or in the decade spent at the Crofton Mill. This allows time to say thank you for their community pres-
ence — and often, for a job well done. A few years ago I linked up again with former North Cowichan councillor and Crofton mill worker Johnny Cannon. In August 1963, E. John Cannon, a stationary engineer at Crofton, prepared to throw his name in the ring to contest one of the vacancies created when North Cowichan council grew from � ve members to seven. In the Second World War, Vancouver native Cannon served in the First Canadian Division through the Italy and Northwest European campaigns as a member of Third Field Regiment.
Since his arrival in Cowichan in 1957, he’d taken an active part in the municipal ratepayers’ association, and said he’d encourage family-type recreational facilities in North Cowichan. Playing together does a great deal to keep families together and it was lacking here, he said. He said his aim would be to represent the whole municipality and not to cater to the needs of any particu-lar section of it.

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Cartoonist Ted Zemek has packed his pens and called it quits after 14 years of comment-ing on Cowichan life
in the News Leader Pictorial.“I’m retiring because I’ll be trav-
eling widely, and will spend this winter in Arizona and southern California,” said the ink-stained 65 year old, sitting with wife, Carol, aboard their sailboat, Minotaur 1, on Tribune Bay off Hornby Island.
“I can’t really keep up (cartoon-ing) when I’m on the road — it makes it difficult, even electroni-cally.”
The political animal said he found plenty of fresh prey on which to comment in the Leader.
“Echo Heights is the news story that’s like the energizer bunny — it never stops ticking,” Zemek said of skewering North Cowichan council’s long debate toward finally preserving 91% of the Che-mainus public forest.
“I was talking with the mayor (Jon Lefebure) and he said ‘It’s over and finished, and won’t raise its head again.’
“I said ‘You’ve got to be kidding. Something will happen and it’ll raise its head.’ Maybe they’ll find an archaeological interest there.”
Zemek also cited his satirical take on the sinking of several relic barges off Chemainus.
“That (issue) was always a good one,” the former graphic artist and printer said, predicting global climate change will impact Co-wichan, and offer future cartoon fodder.
“The biggest story coming is global warming.”
The idea, he explained, is to sim-ply comment about an issue, then let readers figure it out.
“You can’t go on about some-thing too much, or people just turn off.”
Zemek switched on his creativity in his former home studio, “but we’ve moved several times, so I do
(cartooning) at the dining-room table, and have done it on the boat.”
He always hit the opinion target, explained Leader editor John McKinley.
“Ted could be obscure at times, but his skewed lens is also his greatest gift. When he hit the mark with you, he really hit it.
“Strictly from a professionalism sense, he has been a treat to work with. Ted always had ideas, and al-ways made deadlines. What more could an editor ask for?”
Zemek simply asked readers to mull messages in his cartoons.
“All my cartoons stand by themselves.
“People may stand around think-ing ‘I don’t get it.’ Some people are obtuse. I do have fans and people who say ‘Good cartoon, Ted,’” said Zemek, who fed off pressure.
“I enjoy the process, and working according to a deadline.”
Some deadlines were easier to meet than others, depending on his subject, and the public grip on cur-rent events Zemek followed in the Leader, other valley publications,
or just by talking to local folks.“Sometimes (my message) was
painfully obvious, like Queen of the North sinking, and 9/11.”
It boiled down to being pointed, and punctual.
“You’re professional, have a deadline, and have to fill the space, so they have to be good.”
It was also good of Leader owner Black Press to hire local cartoonists “which is very com-mendable.”
Zemek started cooking food for thought “at an early age, and shaped a knack for it. I’ve been drawing all my life.”
With more time now, he may issue a book of his work.
“That crossed my mind, about select cartoons. I’m particularly proud of the work I did on the Iraq war where I proved to be right. It was a debacle and we (global forces) never should have gotten into it.”
Zemek will delve further into his muse during retirement.
“I draw and paint, and I’ll con-tinue. These days I do stuff for my own enjoyment,” he said.
submittedAvid sailor Ted Zemek will now have more time to enjoy being on the water. Above, he pens his final cartoon of himself doing a cartoon for the News Leader Pictorial.

Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8,as well as the most powerful production
muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speedautomatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in thecentre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. Ihave access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International
Raceway.I’d say this will be a heavenly day. With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challengeris ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say theydon’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction,attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in itssegment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver informa-tion display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control every-thing by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause.A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.
Here’s the skinny:
1) A 3.6L, Pentastar V6 producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque
2) A 5.7L, V8 HEMI with 372 horsepower (with the 8-speed automatic) 375 horse-power and 410 lb-ft oftorque with the 6-speed manual
3) A 6.4L, V8 HEMI with 485 horsepowerand 475 lb-ft of torqueLast but not least,4) A supercharged 6.2L, V8 HEMI with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.All engines except the V6s can be paired with a manual or an automatic.
The V6s only come with the 8-speed automatic. Again, no matter what you choose, you’ll come out singing. Back to the road. Having tested all four models – with different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits were posted at 35 mph, I was impressed with its road manners. And considering I had almost 485 horse-power (with the 6.4L engine), it wasas docile as a lethargic lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity presented itself. Both track time and road time added to the multi- dimensional admiration for the two-door. Sure, visibility isn’t ideal. The C pillars are huge and cut into sightlines whenlooking rearward. The rear seats don’t offer a ton of legroom – especially forthe individual stuck in the middle – but heck, it does have room for five. Fuel economy, well, you’re not buying this car for its estimated numbers!That’s for sure. But it does offer an motional experience. It turns heads and is sexy as hell. Even the V6 on the track did a bang up job.And with a starting MSRP of $28,995, the Canadian-built Challenger is upto the task, will kick butts, and take names. All at the same time.

Safety Tip:Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The
only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.
Question of the WeekThe posted speed limit has been raised by 10 km/h on many major highways in B.C. If you have driven some of those stretches, have you found cars passing you beyond the raised limit?

Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver informa-tion display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard
on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving.Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot.But the heart of the Chal-lenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger.When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.
Here’s the skinny: 1) A 3.6L, Pentastar V6 producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque2) A 5.7L, V8 HEMI with 372 horse-power (with the 8-speed automatic) 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with the 6-speed manual3) A 6.4L, V8 HEMI with 485 horse-power and 475 lb-ft of torqueLast but not least,4) A supercharged 6.2L, V8 HEMI with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.All engines except the V6s can be paired with a manual or an automatic. The V6s only come with the 8-speed automatic. Again, no matter what you choose, you’ll come out singing. Back to the road.Having tested all four models – with
different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits were posted at 35 mph, I was impressed with its road manners. And considering I had almost 485 horsepower (with the 6.4L engine), it was as docile as a lethargic lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity presented itself.Both track time and road time added to the
multi-dimensional admiration for the two-door.Sure, visibility isn’t ideal. The C pillars are huge and cut into sightlines when looking rearward. The rear seats don’t offer a ton of legroom – especially for the individual stuck in the middle – but heck, it does have room for five.Fuel economy, well, you’re not buying this car for its estimated numbers! That’s for sure.But it does offer an emotional experi-ence. It turns heads and is sexy as hell.Even the V6 on the track did a bang up job. And with a starting MSRP of $28,995, the Canadian-built Challenger is up to the task, will kick butts, and take names. All at the same time.Visit www.dodge.ca for more details.

‘‘ It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.’’Alexandra Straub
Safety Tip:Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The
only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.
Question of the WeekThe posted speed limit has been raised by 10 km/h on many major highways in B.C. If you have driven some of those stretches, have you found cars passing you beyond the raised limit?

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle carPortland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key?The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harness-ing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful produc-tion muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed auto-matic.Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I
have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Race-way. I’d say this will be a heavenly day.With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on.According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else.

It seems that tablet devices like the iPad are being introduced to children at earlier ages all the time. Experts believe this can be a good thing for children even those younger than two years old and as
long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device.
Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath.
Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a home-made ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection.
Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are, however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use. Your doctor is the best judge of what is rIght for you.
Do you have questions about something you see in the media? Check with our pharmacists. We can put things into perspective for you.

Peter W. RuslandRomeo (Austin Frykas) dies after drinking poison, believing a tranquilized Juliet (Breann Landry) is dead. Below, Juliet’s father (Ashton Arden) receives a letter from fop Peter (Bob Norris) in Shawnigan Players’ lively version of Romeo and Juliet.
Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Noise pollution failed to foil Tuesday’s princely presenta-tion of Shake-speare’s Romeo and
Juliet in Duncan’s Charles Hoey Park.
Sure, Shawnigan Players’ director Alex Gallacher and his all-ages’ cast have fine tuning to do toward runs this weekend and next in the orchard of Cowichan Station’s Gem O’ The Isle B&B.
Some of Tuesday’s dialogue was drowned by road, air and fire-hall noise many of us ignored while straining to hear the bard’s dialogue.
Gallacher’s actors should have boosted their vocal volume to let us hear their lines above the dull roar.
Even without dialogue, Tues-day’s glorified dress rehearsal was a great taste of what’s coming at the Gem where noise from car mufflers, motorcycles and air-planes won’t be a handicap.
Hoey Park’s towering oaks pro-vided a shady oasis for the sturdy outdoor production tracing the
tragedy of the young couple fight-ing to kindle their love amid petty family feuding.
Fleeting scenes where Romeo Montague (Austin Frykas) and Juliet Capulet (Breann Landry) expressed their affection were touching indeed. But those feel-ings were swamped by a flood of comical and dramatic relief by Gallacher’s cast outfitted splen-didly by Helga Trinczek.
The Players adeptly reflected the bard’s timeless, timely messages about senseless death as Romeo’s rowdy pal, Mercutio (Laura Faulkner) was killed by bitter Tybalt (Aren Beagley), causing Romeo to seek bloody revenge.
He also killed Juliet’s parent-picked fiance Paris (Jacob Den-nison), who was jealously bent on confronting Juliet’s real love, Romeo.
Romeo realized the error of society’s killing ways as petty miscommunication sealed his fate, and that of Juliet, to the despair of their grieving families.
Stand-out characterization included Laura’s run as Mercutio, Bob Norris as fumbling fop Peter, Elissa Barron as Juliet’s lovingly tipsy nurse, Ashton Arden’s work
as Juliet’s stubborn father, and Delphine Apt-Menu as Juliet’s expressively naïve mom. A nice period touch was Lahna Lamp-son’s harp playing as interlude music.
Two swords up to Landry and Frykas as the doomed couple whose love was snuffed far too fast while they became victims of tragic circumstances.
Given the quality of Tuesday’s racket-plagued run, get tickets to Romeo and Juliet before they’re sold out.
Shakespearean tragic-comedy play rating: 8.5 kisses out of 10.

CARPENTIER, Margaret1932 – 2014
Margaret passed away on Wednesday, July 23 in the Cowichan District Hospital with her immediate family lovingly by her side. She was born in 1932 in Edmonton Alberta, the oldest child of the late Rudolph and Martha Witt. At a young age, the family moved to the Cowichan Valley where she spent her life. Margaret married Paul in March of 1953. They raised a
family in this area. Family was the most important factor in her life. Her compassion, consideration and care for everyone will be greatly missed by her family and friends alike. She is survived by her husband (Paul) and her children Sherry Olson (Garry), Anne Spalding (Bill) and John Carpentier. She is also survived by her sister, Mildred Davidson-Hall (Brian). Margaret had four grandchildren (Kristy (Jim), Deven, Darren (Heather) and Robyn) and thirteen great grandchildren. Margaret is also survived by many beloved nieces and nephews.Margaret had various jobs throughout the early years. In 1965, Marg helped Paul (along in partnership with Lawrence and Ann Carpentier) start a business – C and C Lath Mill. She worked tirelessly by Paul’s side in this venture. When Margaret’s family was older, she became involved in many community service organizations. In 1973, she sat on Cowichan District School Board. She worked at the Cowichan Hospice Society for a few years. She later worked with the Cowichan District Hospital Auxiliary. For a few years, Margaret volunteered at the Senior Center doing income taxes for those who needed assistance. Paul and Marg also took the opportunity to do some travelling-Europe, Asia and sun destinations to beat the rainy winters of the island. Margaret had a positive outlook that permeated everything she did. Her optimism and matter of fact approach to everything that came her way was a strength to her family and friends alike. She was an incredible wife and helpmate and the love of Paul’s life. To her children, she was a loving mother and tireless advocate. To her grandchildren and great grandchildren, she was their loudest cheerleader. She will be greatly missed.There will be no funeral service (at Margaret’s request) but a Memorial Tea from 2 to 4 p.m. will be held in her honour on Sunday, August 17th in the Cowichan Suite of the Island Savings Center (right beside the library). All are welcome to attend.

The Cowichan Valley Midget C Thunder lacrosse team finished a fabulous season by earning the silver medal dur-ing the provincial champion-
ships.In round robin play, the Thunder took
two of three games. Cowichan defeated the Campbell River Ravens 10-1 and the Juan de Fuca Whalers 4-2, with its lone loss coming against the Cranbrook Outlaws by an 8-4 count.
Jacob Taylor (3), Scott McCaffery (2), Shylo Gibbs (2), Dallas Johnson, Brae-mon Conville and Kyle McDill scored goals in the Campbell River game.
Conville led the way with two goals against Juan de Fuca. Taylor and Mc-Caffery added singles.
Gibbs notched a pair of goals in the loss to Cranbrook while Johnson and McCaffery supplied singles.
The results set up another game against Cranbrook for the gold medal but the Outlaws were too tough and wrangled their way to a 10-1 win.
Assistant captain Johnson, with Taylor and Kyle Robertson providing assists, accounted for the lone Thunder
marker.Goaltender Theron Keel received
two game MVP awards with the others going to Jarom Erickson and Gibbs, another assistant captain.
Devon McCormick was the Thun-der’s recipient of the Warrior Fair Play Award and Gibbs was honoured with an all-star award.
“We were up against some tough competition all season and fought hard
against some tough teams,’’ offered Thunder head coach Eric Johnson. “Everyone really pulled together and that is why the team played so well this season.’’
“This season we had both returning and brand-new players come together to learn, develop and improve their skills and we watched them grow into a strong team,’’ added Thunder assistant coach Tyler Veuger.

It’s been a typically busy off-season for the Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The B.C. Hockey League team’s staff has been leaving no stone unturned to uncover talent in preparation for the 2014-15 season. Training camp is less than a month
away already.The Caps recently swung a trade to acquire the rights to
defenceman Skylar Pacheco from the Prince George Spruce Kings in exchange for forward Taylor Allan and defenceman Valik Chichkin.
Pacheco, a Kitimat native who turns 20 Aug. 1, spent the last three seasons with the Spruce Kings. He set a career high with 32 points in 56 games last season.
“He is a good skating, puck-moving, dynamic defenceman that can jump into the rush and contribute offensively,’’ noted Caps’ head coach Bob Beatty. “He will give us a veteran pres-ence on our side of the red line.’’
Allan and Chichkin were both acquired by the Caps in two separate trades last season.
The Caps announced a series of player commitments in June.Luke Santerno spent the 20-13-14 season with the 100
Mile House Wranglers of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and led the team in scoring with 45 points in 47 games.
“I’m looking forward to being on the Capitals and playing in the BCHL,’’ noted Santerno.
“My coach from midget, Brendan Hutchinson, used to play there and he had a bunch of great things to say about the team so we talked about it for a while with my parents and him and decided this was a good choice to make.’’
Goaltender Lane Michasiw comes to the Caps from the Sas-katchewan Midget AAA Hockey League’s Prince Albert Min-tos where he compiled a 2.37 goals against average last season and helped the team to the Telus Cup national championship.
“Lane’s performance in the Telus Cup was something that our team’s coaching staff was extremely impressed with as he garnered top goaltender and MVP,’’ Beatty indicated.
“Lane’s accomplishments and winning track record speak for themselves. He has a reputation as a solid goaltender with great character and we are excited to announce his commitment.’’
Mitchell Stapley of Campbell River is a defenceman who played last season in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Vancouver Northwest Giants. He ranked seventh in league scoring among defencemen with 33 points in 39 games.
“I’m a puck-moving defenceman,’’ noted Stapley. “I like to be up-ice on the rush and I bring a lot of skill and I hope to bring that to the team.’’

Cowichan Valley Mustangs gal-loped to the title of the Island zone Bantam AA (Under 15) baseball playdowns in Victoria with four straight convincing
victories.The Mustangs took the sting out of the
Victoria Stingers 27-2 Saturday and 14-3 Sunday in five innings in their final game while beating Nanaimo 13-8 Saturday and 10-3 Sunday.
Coaches Wade Radcliffe, Tod LeSergent, Micah Anderson and Mario Iannidinardo just sent the Mustangs’ dangerous arsenal of players onto the field and they per-formed at peak efficiency to qualify for the provincial playoffs in Burnaby that started Thursday.
The final game against Victoria featured a 13-hit attack from the Mustangs. They scored seven runs in the second and sixth
in the third to take full control early.
The offense was spread around with a home run from Jake Winter, a triple by Matt Miller, doubles from Brandon Langer, Cam LeSergent and Kale Eddy, two singles from Zach Waddington and single base hits by Andrew Strobl, Brayden Radcliffe, Cole Ander-son, Jamie McMahon, Nick Yu and Tanner Cummings.
Anderson and Eddy combined on a six-hitter for the pitching win.
Waddington led the team in runs-batted-in for the tourna-ment with eight; Miller, LeSer-gent, Anderson and Langer had six apiece; Yu and Winter contributed five each; Cummings added four; and McMa-hon and Eddy notched three apiece.
Yu was the batting average leader at .692,
with Waddington close behind at .667.Yu was the workhorse of the pitchers. In
nine innings of work, he had a sparkling earned run average of 1.0. Eddy and Winter
also fared well during 4.2 and 4.1 innings pitched, respectively, amassing ERAs of 4.5 and 4.85 while Langer pitched three shutout innings.

It seems like a long time since the valley experienced any rain, but you don’t have to re-mind South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club officials.
In the midst of the last two heat waves, there’s been just a sprinkling of rain and both have affected major tournaments at the club.
The 127th Vancouver Island Grass Court Championships were so affected right in the middle of the week-long event last Wednesday.
“We did rain out all day,’’ said tournament director Louise Dwyer. “We sat around and tried to figure out if we could play some matches in the afternoon.’’
The forecast looked promising but then suddenly took a turn for the worse so the tournament was shut down, with the grass courts unsafe for play.
“We didn’t put anything inside,’’ said Dwyer. “We just cancelled the day.’’
Fortunately, it was the only day of any precipitation so the club made up for lost time.
“We had to really scramble to get it all fit in,’’ said Dwyer.
The disruption was a bit disap-pointing, she added, “but it did all work out fine.’’
The tournament concluded as scheduled on the grass Saturday evening.
A total of 144 players took part. The bulk came from B.C., Alberta,
Washington state, Oregon and Cali-fornia, but there was also one fellow from Texas who now lives here in the summer.
“The first couple of days we had just the mixed events,’’ explained Dwyer.
Following are the results of all the final matches in the various categories:
Mixed combined 120 doubles: Dave Tooby/Debbie Harit over Roger Skillings/Barbara Skillings 6-3, 7-5; Mixed combined 135 doubles: Allan Gale/Lynne Cowan over Gordon Verge/Jean Martin 7-6, 6-1; Mixed combined 70 doubles: Shawn Lusignan/Karen Clarke over Geoff Bourne/Carolyn Goff 1-6, 6-0, 6-4.
Men’s 35 singles: Shane Iadarola
over Todd King 6-4, 6-1; Men’s 35 doubles: Chad Brachat/Brendan Braybrook won round robin; Men’s 45 singles: Tim Hopper won round robin; Women’s 45 singles: Karen Clarke won round robin.
Men’s 45 doubles: Tim Hopper/Shawn Lusignan over Ed Bakker/Art Hobbs 6-4, 6-3; Women’s 45 doubles: Debbie Harit/Kim Rogers over Carolyn Goff/Johane Mui 7-6, 1-6, 6-1; Men’s 55 singles: Ranjan Mcarthur over Dan Cardinall 6-2, 6-3.
Women’s 55 singles: Elly McK-eague over Carol O’Brien 7-6, 6-2; Men’s 55 doubles: Ed Bakker/Art Hobbs won round robin; Women’s 55 doubles: Janice Holloway/Sue Moxon over Judith Clarke/Carol O’Brien 4-6, 6-2, 6-3; Men’s 60 singles: Roger Skillings over Moe Rahemtulla 6-4, 5-2 retired.
Women’s 60 singles: Jandi Fraser won round robin; Men’s 60 doubles: Art Mccracken/Peter Thomas over Dick Barnes/David Bellis 6-4, 7-5; Women’s 60 doubles: Jandi Fraser/Janice Holloway over Paddy Mann/Marilyn Williams 6-3, 6-4; Men’s 65 doubles: Dennis Furhman/Dave Tooby over Dick Barnes/Peter Wil-son 4-6, 6-2, 6-1.
Women’s 65 doubles: Sheila An-ning/Lynne Cowan won round robin; Men’s 70 singles: Charles Ayers over Frank Jarman 6-3, 7-6; Men’s 70 doubles: Alan Robinson/Peter Wilson over John Lapointe/Bud Travers 6-1, 6-4; Men’s 75 singles: Gordon Verge won round robin.

QMS student receives prestigious bursary at close of B.C. Summer GamesGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 Queen Margaret’s School’s Alice Young is one of 16 talented
athletes and community leaders recognized with a Coast Capital Savings athlete bursary following the closing ceremonies of the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo.
Young rode in the equestrian events at the Games, earning a silver medal as part of the Zone 6 contingent in the team competition.
“I feel so lucky to have spent a week at the B.C. Summer Games,’’ said Young. “Congratulations to all my fellow Zone 6
equestrian athletes on winning silver and to everyone who took home individual medals.’’
Young indicated she will put her bursary money toward tuition at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland this September.
The bursary recipients were chosen from more than 350 ap-plicants for their significant achievements in sport and education but mostly for their leadership contributions to schools, com-munity or sport associations.
