Record crowds, great weather, awesome acts, and scads of security made this year’s SunFest the best in its 14 years.
Sunday’s sold-out crowd, carpet-ing Cowichan Exhibition grounds with all-ages’ fans for superstar Tim McGraw’s valley debut, iced a sweet weekend that gave folks what they came for.
And Saturday’s announcement Kiwi cowboy Keith Urban is next year’s July 30 to Aug. 2 headliner proved host Wideglide Entertainment has no plans to curb the success of its family festival.
Fans Francine Travers and Tracy Haugland predicted Zac Brown, Brad Paisley, and maybe Miranda Lambert could lead B.C.’s biggest country festi-val in coming years.
They were ready to enjoy this weekend’s four-day bash as much as McGraw.
“I’m gonna stay here for the rest of the summer and play every night,” McGraw joked with adoring fans from the main stage’s catwalk.
Other standout acts included ram-bunctious Blackjack Billy, jumpin’ Jake Owen, and colossal singer Cas-sadee Pope,
Naturally, SunFest’s huge beer garden, holding thousands of mostly behaved partiers, was hopping Thurs-day through Sunday.
“The beer garden is de� nitely more improved,” said Naniamo’s Donna Cote.
“There were no waiting lines this year.”
But she had pointed comments about festival campgrounds.
“Camping is a cluster-fubar, with
everyone packed in there like sardines. But overall, we’ve had an amazing time.”
Kris Vanlambalgen agreed, but noted though she paid for a particular campsite “you got what was left over.”
“Also, you can’t carry a drink in the camping area, but you’re allowed to drive in there.”
Lorrie Cullen added event bath-rooms were “much cleaner than last year. It’s been awesome weather and nice people.”
Vanlambalgen summed: “Everyone’s well behaved.”
Not quite.With SunFest’s sheer volume of
folks, mischief reared its ugly head before being quickly quelled by a con-stant presence of police and security guards.
A few � ghts and drug abuses, as re-ported by security staff, were handled so smoothly few fans knew anything had happened.
Clear message: SunFest is a no-non-sense event, as some soon discovered; rowdies were rightly kicked out to prevent anyone from getting hurt.
The folly of liquid courage heard in George Canyon’s tune Drinkin’ Thinkin’ rang true.
Metal, glass, and outside liquids were also banned by gate guards who ef� ciently greeted fans all weekend.
Wideglide’s crew and slew of volun-teers ran a safe SunFest like clockwork — right down to details such as water-drizzling fans, comprehensive recy-cling, information booth, and more.
A stream of creative costumes, and safe shenanigans spanned body painting, comical T-shirts, fancy belt buckles, proud tattoo displays, pretty cowboy boots, artistic redneck touches in campgrounds — all swimming in a seeming sea of cell phones.

Big-silver screens are still the best movie value in Moby Amarsi’s world.
The new owner of Duncan’s Caprice Theatre has spent big bucks upgrading his two screens to digital technology offering surround-sound.
Caprice’s left-hand theatre hands out glasses for 3-D viewing in 400 seats.
The right-hand screen has a digital 2-D format for 300 seats.It’s all about giving viewers an experience, not just a movie, he
explained.“Whatever it takes to please the customer,” said Kenya-born
Amarsi, whose family-run business also owns two theatres on the Lower Mainland.
“People go to a movie these days to escape the world, not to be harassed.”
That’s why he sees Caprice’s upgrades, and other plans as a solid investment.
“It’s a long-term commitment, not an overnight return,” he said inside the Caprice which sports a new paint job.
“New seating will be our next project.”Washrooms renovations are also on deck.The Caprice screens four shows daily on each side, up from
two showings under former manager Dave Kerr — who still gives Amarsi “pointers” about running the downtown movie house employing eight staffers.
“I often consult with Dave; the Caprice was run very well.”And Amarsi’s lobby snack bar doesn’t just offer popcorn, soft
drinks and chocolate bars; Amarsi’s menu now lists natural juice drinks, plus natchos.
Then there’s Caprice’s reduced-price birthday-party packages.“The idea is to service people, and that brings more people in.“We’re open to suggestions; this is a community theatre, and
we want feedback about what to do.”One thing Amarsi and his workers don’t do is switch film reels.Movies from distributer Deluxe arrive in a hard-case digital
pack that’s uploaded into computerized projection gear that controls sound, and even the house lights.
“There are no moving parts but a crisper, clearer picture be-cause of the number of (computer) pixels,” he explained.
“You can actually feel the sound.”Amarsi picks flicks mostly aimed at the 15– to 25-year-old
market, with films for families and adults also brought in.Pictures are chosen by researching new releases, reading
reviews, and other data.
His recent favourite was Planet Of The Apes (“Just amazing”), and Shrek, containing “lots of (subtle) adult humour.”
“We’re also looking at holding some international film festi-vals.”
Amarsi learned about customer service and elastic thinking during a decade in the demanding show business — including eight owning a Qualicum Beach theatre, before it burned down in 2004.
He also ran and sold a theatre in Ladysmith.Amarsi’s aware of Netflix use — and that a cineplex is pos-
sibly planned for the Duncan Mall.But he remains undaunted, mulling more screens for his
Caprice corner. “Time will tell.”Despite challenges and changes, customer satisfaction remains
constant.“When people leave here, we want them to have had a happy
experience,” Amarsi said.

Cowichan Tribes band office hit by vandalsGot a comment or a story?email [email protected] 250-856-0049 Wilful damage was done to Cowichan Tribes
band offices, police say.The damage was discovered by a CoVal Security
employee, who alerted North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at approximately 1:50 a.m. on July 29.
CoVal’s staffer “confirmed several windows had been smashed on the buildings around the inner courtyard by the fountain. No access was gained
into the buildings,” says Cpl. Krista Hobday’s email.“Such senseless acts of vandalism cost the
band, which in turn takes money away from worth-while programs.”
Police hope someone heard something that can lead investigators to identify the culprits.
Mounties request if you have information on this or any other crime, contact the North Cowichan/
Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522, or alternately you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers. If you provide information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illicit drugs, you could be eligible for a cash award.

Arte Johnson would have loved this picnic.
Johnson, for those who never watched Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, a TV series that ran from 1967 to 1973, was famous
for playing Wolfgang, a smoking Second World War German soldier, whose favourite line was, “very interesting.”
He would have loved the Rotary Club of South Cowichan’s, Interesting Car Picnic, being held Sun-day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Organizer Dave Knott said the only prerequisite for entering your car is if you think it’s interesting.
“If you think your Dodge Caravan is interesting, come along; it’s funny but some people find them in-teresting too,” he said. Motorbikes are also welcome.
One of the more interesting cars Knott has person-ally seen in the 29 years he’s been involved with the event was a horse-drawn buggy, with tiller steering. The Holley, built in the early 1900s, was manufac-tured before the steering wheel.
In past years, entrants have included Stanley steamers, military tanks, muscle cars, Italian super cars, and sled dog sleighs.
The event originally started one day more than 29 years ago, after a group of local car enthusiasts drove around the Cowichan Valley. At the end of the drive, Brentwood College House Master John Queen invited them back to the college grounds for a picnic.
“We went from there,” Knott said.This year’s event will be held at Frances Kelsey
School. If the weather’s good, the car enthusiast said organizers expect about 120 owners and their cars, from up and down the island.
Prizes are given in a variety of categories, including largest headlights, biggest fins, or oldest cars.
“We make the categories up on the day,” he said, laughing. “One year, a car showed up that was brass plated. They got the prize for the most polishing needed.”
And there’s the ever-popular people’s choice award.This year, unlike previous years, there’ll be no junk
in the trunk; where junk was sold from people’s trunks. Instead, a wide variety of artisans, including potters, jewelers, woodworkers and bakers have been invited to show their wares. The entry fee is $40.
Entry fees for cars are $15 and the first 100 en-trants will get a dash plaque, that can be stuck on the dash, commemorating the picnic’s 29th-annual event.
For those who don’t bring a picnic, there’ll be a variety of food wagons available.
Funds raised will go to The Cobble Hill, Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake Food Bank, the Cowichan Valley Hospice and various scholarship winners the Rotary Club funds.

Hauling derelict boats from Cowichan’s wa-ters may be legally tough, but apparently not if they’re adrift.
Seventy-foot commercial vessel The Trojan was ordered towed to Ladysmith
Thursday by Transport Canada Navigable Waters staff, an RCMP release says.
Cpl. Krista Hobday of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP explains Trojan was adrift off Maple Bay Pen-insula, and may have posed navigational risks, prompt-ing action by several government agencies.
“North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP acted as a liaison between the RCMP South Island Marine Unit out of Victoria, Transport Canada Navigable Waters, and North Cowichan bylaws,” Hobday says.
“A decision was made by Transport Canada Naviga-ble Waters to place a removal order on the tug July 29.
“Later that evening, officers boarded the vessel to ensure there was no one on board, and there were no hazards in relation to the inner vessel.”
At around 9:25 p.m. the tug was towed to Ladysmith without incident, she says.
Trojan sits among a fleet of derelict vessels dumped in Warm Land waters in recent years, including The Dominion. It was in Cowichan Bay for some four years before its owner hauled it away for scrapping, leaving The Beaver in its wake.
The Beaver has since sunk in the bay.Federal rules prevent removal of vagrant vessels un-
less they pose navigational or environmental threats.Cowichan MP Jean Crowder is seeking derelict-vessel
legislation under a private member’s bill, but Ottawa has failed to act so far.
Meanwhile, some Cowichanians believe bum boats should simply be seized and salvaged or sold by local governments to prevent accidents or pollution, while the feds fumble with Crowder’s requested legislation.
Car picnic will be very interesting
courtesy Dave KnottMany interesting cars wil be on display during the Rotary Club of South Cowichan’s interesting car picnic at Frances Kelsey Secondary School Sunday. To sign up to display as an artisan, call David (250-743-2776). For more information about the show, contact Dave Knott (250-743-9114) or email [email protected].

Maeve MaguireNews Leader Pictorial
When buying a new tent, one considers factors like the capacity, ventilation, and stitching on the seams. After a two-night camping trip with
the kids, I recommend a new speci� cation to de-� ne a tent’s merit: how loud the zipper sounds at 4 a.m. in a full and quiet public campground.
The mister and I decided to try a new sleeping arrangement: we would sleep in our uber-light, uber-expensive two-person tent we bought be-fore we had kids, while the girls slept in another tent pitched beside to ours.
My skinny, expensive, lightweight air mattress was cushion enough before we had kids, but be-ing 10 years older with post-baby in� exible hips likened it to sleeping on a piece of paper. Hav-ing not slept well the � rst night, we were asleep early the second night knowing our youngest, whose identity I’ll protect by calling her our
little angel (OLA), would wake us at 6 a.m. I awoke in the darkness to our middle child
(MC) yelling, “Who’s that? WHO’S THAT?” The mister got up to resolve it. ZZZzzzzzzip went our tent zipper. It cracked through the quiet air like a gunshot. My body tensed. All I could think was “Don’t wake the baby” because if we wake the baby, we’re all — the whole campsite is — screwed. OLA will never go back to sleep and she has two volumes: asleep and loud.
ZZZzzzzzzip went the girls’ tent zipper like a lightening crack. “Daddy, turn on the light!” MC yelled. “TURN ON THE LIGHT. KEEP IT ON ALL THE TIME. KEEP THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME!” Clearly she was afraid of the dark but all I could think of was a) waking OLA and b) going back to sleep ourselves. In his most emphatic whisper-shout, the mister said, “Use your whispers! Everyone is sleeping and you’ll wake them up!” Her response: “KEEP THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME!”
With our tent’s zipper open, I took the op-portunity to step into the woods and relieve my full bladder. In the meantime, the mister returned to our tent, having calmed MC by leaving the � ashlight on next to her head.
ZZZzzzzzzip! He closed our tent door. When I returned with the sound of gravel crunching under my shoes, I heard OLA stir. “Ba ba baa,” she cooed. I stood frozen next to our tent. I didn’t want to move in case she heard me and thought it was wakey-wakey time.
“I can’t move or I’ll wake the baby,” I whis-pered almost inaudibly to the mister through the mesh roof. “How long do you think I’ll have to stand here?” I asked him. “Half an hour. Night night,” said my chivalrous husband as he snuggled into his sleeping bag. My poorly sti� ed giggled was as disruptive as the tent’s zipper.
After a few minutes of no sounds from the girls’ tent, I slowly unzipped the zipper. Slow-ing the zip doesn’t make it any quieter. Like a bandaid on skin, you’re better to do it quickly to get the pain over with. Tooth by tooth, click
by click, I unzipped the zipper in anticipation of another “Ba ba ba.’’ I opened the door just enough to slide my less-than-nimble body into the tent, landing awkwardly on the mister who woke with a start — to my satisfaction. Mos-quitos and wasps could have had their pickings in the dawn light because there was no chance I was zipping that door shut.
All that worry kept me awake for another hour, lying motionless and nearly breathless on my back looking out of the mesh roof. I must have fallen asleep because I woke in the dawn light to our little angel singing, “Ba ba baa.”When Maeve Maguire isn’t writing her monthly column for the News Leader Pictorial, she is creating marketing and technical communications for businesses from her home of� ce in Maple Bay.

SunFest fans next year.Having Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw

trance into Chemainus on Chemainus Road is still there.
With all the plans in the works for a major revitalizing of the Chemainus core for the fi rst time since the early 1980s, this building sticks out like a sore thumb.
Demolish it now! North Cowichan certainly can’t let any of its revitalization plans proceed without dealing with this horrible eyesore fi rst.

SunFest keepspartying locally, thinking globallyS
unFest has certainly eclipsed Cowichan’s galaxy of other excellent summer festivals and shows.
But make no mistake— staging B.C.’s biggest country-music event ain’t easy.
Greg Adams and his classy Wideglide crew — includ-ing media go-to gal Charlotte Fisher — deserve full marks for delivering a top-notch, safe festival for some 30,000 fans this weekend.
Adams’ message is clear: cause problems and you’re gone.Great. Safety � rst.
Despite heavy, yet understanding, security and cops, some idiots pushed the envelope on the weekend, and were arrested or kicked out.
Good. We don’t want another messy Merritt Mountain Festival here.
But security can’t be everywhere — with a festival of this size, there are bound to be problems, including drug abuse. That said, SunFest’s positives are overly huge, spanning a big economic
boost for Cowichan’s hotels, bars, stores, gas stations and more.While our economic development staff struggles to grow our
area, the arts is again answering that need.So let’s high-� ve Adams again for his continual donations —
some $500,000 so far— to valley charities and groups.But SunFest is now more than a festival. It’s a feeling you get
with happy people having fun while being patient with traf� c and parking queues, and crowds they may not be used to.
It’s also the feeling of knowing things are under control, out-houses are being cleaned, parking is being watched, food is safe to eat, lineups are moving well, and staff and volunteers are politely � rm. We expect that awesome feeling to continue as SunFest keeps growing with global acts such as Tim McGraw, Alan Jack-son, and next year’s headline honcho Keith Urban.
Wideglide has managed to match that organizational challenge with hard work — and listening to visitor and volunteer ideas about traf� c control, signage, safety and more.
We say:Wideglide handling the growing pains well

Permanent water solution to dig deeper channelDear editor
The low � ows on the Cowichan River at this time of the year are becoming more frequent and more serious every summer. The salmon runs are threatened by the warm low � ows where the fry are dying in isolated pools of water that are too warm for survival.
Some of the solutions are to truck the salmon upstream, to catching fry or jiggering with the weir at Lake Cowichan to attempt to preserve some of the � ow for later. There are even talks of renting huge pumps to pump water from the lake into the river at a cost of $1 million. The other solution is raising the weir. All are probably admirable attempts at temporary solutions. But do we want to be doing this every year? Of course not, because � rst of all they are not very effective.
Here are some of the barriers to a more permanent solution. Firstly, the permanent solution may cost a lot of money, but that shouldn’t deter us from explor-ing it. Secondly, no government entity wants to take the liability of changing a watercourse. We live in a very litigious world. The situ-ation will have to get more serious before the risk will be proven to be worth it. The Ministries of Environment and Fisheries have very strict guidelines about doing work in watercourses. But they have done work already at Stoltz Bluffs to keep silt out of the river and built dikes along the lower river to prevent � ooding. So there are precedents.
So what do I think the perma-nent solution is? Lake Cowichan is a huge reservoir that can be 500 feet deep in places. There is plenty of water to supply the spawning � sh and consumer use downstream. We just have to � nd a way to get more water from the lake into the river. The solution is to dig a deeper channel out of the lake and entering the river so that lake water can � ow into the river later in the dry season. We all as children played in mud puddles and dug little ditches from one puddle to the next to drain one into the other. The same principle would be involved in a larger scale. The weir would have to be lowered or another deeper weir put in. The channel would only have to be about eight feet wide.Mel DoreyArea C Director, CVRD
Fifth year successful for Rock of the Woods festivalDear editor
Marking its � fth year of bringing music to the Cowichan
Valley, Rock of the Woods Music Festival would like to thank the attendees, musicians, volunteers, and community organizations who made this year a success.
Situated within a natural amphi-theatre on the Cowichan River, this year’s Rock of the Woods festival site proved to be a loca-tion that re� ects the spirit of the festival and its commitment to showcasing the natural beauty and talent of the Cowichan Val-ley and Vancouver Island.
As a community-oriented event, Rock of the Woods was pleased to welcome a diversity of commu-nity groups and local vendors to connect attendees with Vancouver Island and British Columbia businesses and services. In addi-tion to providing free admission to children 10 years and younger, this year the festival launched a Family Zone for our youngest music fans.
In keeping with Rock of the Woods’ focus on a mixture of local, regional, and international talent this year’s line-up received rave reviews during the festival
and on social media. A big thank-you to all of the amazing artists who helped make Rock of the Woods a place to see your current favourites and make new discoveries.
“Once again, the dedication and hard work of our volunteers surpassed all expectations. Vol-unteers worked tirelessly to make sure festival goers felt welcomed and were cared for. Respect for the community and the environ-ment are central to Rock of the Woods’ mandate and this was embodied by all those who attended,” said festival director Dave Bain.
With this year concluded, Rock of the Woods looks forward to welcoming new and returning
volunteers, artists, community partners, and guests back to our beautiful site by the river.Jeff BaldryRock of the Woods Festival
CDH staff deserving of praise for exceptional careDear editor
I would like to take this op-portunity to thank all the doctors, nurses, lab techs and support staff for the excellent care I received during my one week stay at Cowichan District Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit and then as an outpatient for another week. All concerned showed care and compassion and did everything they could to give me the best possible medical care. And a spe-cial thanks to Dr. Glen Robinson for his visits and concern for my well being.
Hospital food, perhaps not the greatest, but you cannot expect � ve-star dining when not stay-ing at a � ve-star resort. It was adequate, always on time, and I never had to tip my server. I also received two return trips to the Royal Jubilee Hospital and one return trip to the Nanaimo Regional Hospital by ambulance accompanied by a nurse for the better part of a full day so that tests could be carried out, all at no charge to me.
This all con� rmed how fortu-nate I am to be living in Canada. If I were living in the U.S. without medical insurance? I cannot begin to imagine the costs. Next time you feel like complaining about our medical system, stop and think what it might be like in another part of the world.David GoodacreDuncan

8 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial Wednesday, August 6, 2014
Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Bill Baker’s long bounce-back from a breakdown came through kind-ness, life purpose, and self satis-faction from Providence Farm’s horticultural-therapy programs.
The well-adjusted green thumb chatting at Duncan’s Coffee On The Moon was a far cry from the guy he was at Christmas 1980.
Baker was at the end of his tether for a bunch of reasons: he’d quit smoking, he was broke, and he had Christmas shopping to do. His hero, Beatle John Lennon, had just been murdered.
“I went completely delusional,” said Dun-canite Baker, 55.
He visited family in White Rock, but ended “walking in a circle for an hour” before be-ing found by police and taken to Vancouver General Hospital for help.
“It was total overload from too many bummers in two weeks.”
Ironically, those drags led to his finding
correct drugs for several mental-health conditions spanning what he explained are schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and manic depression.
That help began when Baker moved to Cowichan in 1983.
He’d been writing on his typewriter as therapy to express his opinions about global affairs, the peace movement, apartheid, the Berlin Wall, and other worries. Baker also found friends at Duncan’s Wisteria House, and in Providence Farm’s Friday Program focused on horticulture.
It morphed into the farm’s popular Gre-enways program in 1987, as leader Christine Pollard, and farm-program boss Jack Hut-ton, saw Baker’s bent toward helping himself and others with mental-health issues.
They span the brain injured, youths, folks with Workers’ Compensation Board claims, substance addicts, and others.
Baker also dove into the St. Ann’s Seniors Club where youths help seniors plant and harvest community plots at Providence.

By the way, did you hear:
• A late follow-up to our Canada Day story on Lorrie and Wes Jonat’s � ag that once � ew over the Parliament buildings. Norm
Snowden tells us the Neudorf family (Corbyn, Zackary, Sondra, Lucas and Jay) of North Co-wichan also has a � ag from the same program and celebrated Canada Day by proudly � ying it off their deck.
• Kids, have you ever named a whale? Natasha Bartlett wants your help naming the Vancouver Island Regional Library’s new mascot. Enter the Name the Whale Contest — which runs until Aug. 16 and is open to children ages six to 12 — at your local Vancouver Island Regional Library branch.
• Bruce Patterson tells us Fred Raven, the trea-surer for the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Association’s Mid-Island Branch, made 10 benches out of donated material in his Port Alberni workshop and donated them to care facilities across Vancouver Island. The gesture — marking the 100th anniversary of the PPCLI — included a bench donated to Duncan’s Cairnsmore Place.
• A recent donation by the Cowichan Valley Garden Club went to a most appropriate recipi-ent: the Providence Farm Therapeutic Garden.
Esther Craig presented a cheque for $1,640 to the farm’s Karen Bittner in June, with proceeds from the recent annual CVGC Flower Show and Plant Sale.
• The music doesn’t stop in the summer for Shannon Tyrrell. Pippa Ingram tells us the Shawnigan Lake School’s director of music is keeping busy this summer directing the music for the Comox Valley Youth Music Centre’s production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.
• Duncan city Councillor Sharon Jackson is looking for the public’s assistance, to help a young girl a world away. Earlier this year, Jackson used crowdfunding to help raise $1,700 to help Nzambi, a 15-year-old Kenyan girl, who was brutually raped and attacked by her mother’s friend when she was only 11. She’s hoping to raise an additional $500 to pay for the ambulance ride between the hospital Nzambi’s currently in and a gender violence recovery centre where Jackson says she’ll receive better care. Those wanting to contribute can at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/saving-nzambi/

“It’s a lot of love they pass on in a casual manner.”
He praised the Sisters of St. Ann, includ-ing Sister Frieda Rabb, for supporting farm programs now hardwired to Baker’s life, and the lives of many other Cowichanians.
“None of this (community help) would ever have happened if the sisters hadn’t come to Co-wichan in 1864,” said Baker, a stickler for dates.
Sister Frieda and Baker were also involved in the farm’s peer-mentoring program he claimed
reduced Providence’s mental-health � les.But between 1983 and ‘91 Baker’s mental
health was still healing.“I had four visits to Cowichan District Hos-
pital’s psych ward on the fourth � oor.”He turned to smokes, java, and his typewriter
— churning out a newsletter at Wisteria called The Cowichan Valley Psychiatric League: Up Or Down, We Get Around.
On March 11, 1987 a ray of hope shone.A friend landed Baker a blind date, lent him
$6 for � owers, and even drove him to Che-mainus.
Baker met, and later married, his wife, Car-men. They have two grown kids, and their 25th anniversary was May 5, beamed Baker.
Family support aside, his happiness is helped by the anti-psychotic drug, clozapine.
“It stabilizes me during the day, and helps me sleep at night.
“Don’t skip your meds; meds are your friend,” he advised struggling youths.
Still, pills didn’t cure his ills; hard work did.Working at the farm, at local farmers’
markets, and help from folks at Cowichan Mental Health Association are also Baker’s big
touchstones.He also cited self-con� dence from Co-
wichan’s Grow-A-Row vegetable-raising program, and becoming a master composter at Providence.
“We need a bubbler,” he said of a gizmo giv-ing oxygen to barrel composting.
Meanwhile, Baker aims to move into the planned Providence village, while wishing for more horticultural-therapy professionals “with degrees” for his beloved farm.
“I feel very lucky to be at Providence Farm,” he stated.
Pills not the cure-all for ills, as it also takes a lot of hard work

Lindsay ChungNews Leader Pictorial
For the second straight year, Duncan’s Lindsay Hodgins is the top junior ladies horseshoe player in the world.
The 17-year-old, who plays at the Ladysmith Horseshoe Club and with
the Victoria Horseshoe Club ladies’ league, recently returned from Buffalo, New York, where she won the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association (NHPA) World Tournament.
The world championship is a round-robin tourna-ment, and 36 juniors competed this year. They were ranked according to their ringer percentage, and the girls and boys were mixed in the first round, explained Lindsay’s grandfather, Wayne Hodgins.
After the first round, the top six girls — based on average — advanced to play for the world champion-ship title.
Lindsay went in ranked first and ended up winning the tournament, just like last year, when she won her first world championship in St. George, Utah, after being ranked first. Last year, Lindsay became the first pitcher from B.C. to claim a world title and the third Canadian girl to win in the last 50 years.
Lindsay says she was kind of surprised to win the World Tournament for a second straight year.
“It was tougher this year than last year,” noted Wayne.
Lindsay agreed, noting it was tough because the second-ranked girl, a pitcher from Ontario, was there this year, and the tournament was on clay and raised.
The 2014 NHPA World Tournament is the latest addition to a long list of victories for Lindsay, who graduated from Cowichan Secondary School this past spring.
She won the Canadian championship two years ago and has won the Island Championships for the past three years, the B.C. championships for the past two years and the International Tournament in the past two years.
This year, Lindsay has already won the Island Championship, the World Tournament and the Inter-
national Tournament. In two weeks, she’s heading to compete in the Canadian Championships in Calgary, and later in August, she’ll compete in the B.C. Cham-pionships in Cloverdale.
Last year, she didn’t go to the Canadian Champi-onships, so this year will be the first time she has the chance to win all five tournaments, explained Wayne.
Lindsay is currently ranked top in B.C. out of any horseshoe player of any gender or age, and she is ranked second in Horseshoe Canada’s ladies’ rank-ings, according to Wayne.
Lindsay is feeling confident leading up to the Cana-dian and B.C. championships.
Wayne says Lindsay is always looking forward to her next tournament and can’t wait to get out there.
“She just waits to play the next one,” he said.Since April, Lindsay has only gone one weekend
without a tournament.Lindsay has been playing against ladies all year, not
juniors, and she says that has helped her a lot.Lindsay has autism, and Wayne believes horseshoes
makes a big difference.“It’s really opened her up,” he said. “Even when it’s
over, she doesn’t want to go home.”The Hodginses have a horseshoe pit at home, and
Lindsay throws about 250 shoes a day, practising for at least an hour each day, sometimes up to three.
When asked what she likes about horseshoes, Lind-say says it’s the travelling and meeting people.
“Another reason she likes it is because it is what she does herself that counts,” added Wayne, explaining that with Lindsay’s autism, a solo sport like this where she relies on herself is more suitable than a team sport.
Right now, Lindsay has a 65% average, meaning about six out of 10 shoes are ringers every time, which Wayne describes as “very good.”
Wayne says he enjoys watching his granddaughter very much, partly because he’s semi-retired and this gets him out on the horseshoe pitch.
“I feel good for her,” he said. “It’s helping her.”Lindsay will turn 18 in December, and both Lindsay
and Wayne say she’ll continue to compete once she’s too old for junior.
Hodgins regains world junior girls’ horseshoe pitching title
Lindsay ChungDuncan’s Lindsay Hodgins is a world champion in horseshoes for the second straight year. All that time spent practising in the family horseshoe pits obviously paid off.

HILDEBRANDT Diana Marie (nee Bujold)
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Diana on July 30, 2014 at Aberdeen Hospital in Victoria, due to a Cardiac arrest. Diana was born on June 25, 1961 in Duncan BC to Noreen and Raymond Bujold. She graduated from Cowichan Secondary School in 1979, and was married to James (Kelly) Hildebrandt in 1981. The
Loving mother of Michael (Tannis) and Darren (Kim), and grandmother of Paisley and Kaylee. She is also survived by her mother Noreen, brothers Glen (Debbie) and Mark (Louise), sister Yvonne, nephews Darryl and Kevin, nieces Sara, Christina, Chelsey, and Jessica. She was predeceased by her father Raymond.She grew up in Duncan, then moved to Lake Cowichan where she raised her 2 boys and worked various different jobs. She enjoyed socializing with her family and friends, spending time out in the boat on the lake waterskiing, and camping. She loved to travel and see new and exciting places. She was an amazing mother and loved spending time with her boys most of all. She was diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy in her 30's, and it progressively made her mobility more difficult until she required a wheelchair and permanent hospitalization in 2012. Despite her difficulties with her disability, she always remained a very positive person and never complained about her circumstances. She was the type of person who would always brighten your day, and was loved and admired by all who knew her. She loved her family immensely, and made many good friends over the years that she treated as family. She will always be missed and remembered. The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Aberdeen who cared for her over the past 2.5 years. A graveside memorial will be held at Mountain View Cemetery in Duncan on Friday, August 8th at 2:00 pm. Celebration of life to follow. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Diana's honor can be made to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacebc.com

Special thanks to the amazing team of doctors and health care professionals at Victoria's Royal Jubilee Hospital. Bill battled hard with their wonderful support and care. At Bill’s request, there will be no funeral. A friend to all he met, Bill will never be forgotten and will always be fishing up there in the clouds.

Wednesday, August 6, 201418 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
Don BodgerNews Leader Pictorial
After so many hardships, no one, it seems, is more deserving of a fresh start and the benefits of an athletic scholarship than Taylor Quaife.
The longtime goaltender, who’s primarily played box lacrosse over the years with the boys, is heading to Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado, a National Colle-giate Athletic Association Div. 2 school, to join the women’s field lacrosse program.
Playing high-level lacrosse for so many years, combined with just plain bad luck, has taken a heavy toll on Quaife. She’s had four concussions — one from hockey and three from box lacrosse.
“My one concussion in hockey, I was out for six months,’’ Quaife explained.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she was in a car accident June 11 last year that required her to be on bed rest for a month.
“Then I could start going to physio,’’ Quaife said, which she still does to help alle-viate the lingering effects of the accident — a shoulder injury, cracked ribs and separated ribs.
In December, she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the accident.
“It was recurring flashbacks,’’ Quaife explained. “It was definitely a tough year — especially with school.’’
But she graduated from Cowichan Second-ary School in June and is ready to take the next step with her schooling and lacrosse.
“I’m really excited to leave,’’ Quaife said. “I’ve always been babied by my parents. Everyone knows that because I’m the youngest.’’
But older sister Allie has also always been a huge support that’s allowed her to reach this stage.
Quaife basically did her own digging into the places that offered the best options.
“Being a young lacrosse player, you kind of have to put yourself out there,’’ she said. “I initially made contact with them.’’
Adams State officials saw Quaife play in a tournament at Palm Springs, California and she verbally committed to the school on March 8.
“They were trying to find another good goalie,’’ said Quaife. “They only had one this year.’’
Grace Komatz, 20, played all the games but will have some help in carrying the team’s goaltending load with Quaife, who’s two years younger.
Quaife likes the fact coach Mariana Di-Giovanni won’t hesitate to play either one in different situations.
“The thing I really like about the coach she will play who works the hardest and deserves to play,’’ said Quaife.
That suits her fine because she’s been travelling back and forth to the Mainland to
play for the Burnaby Mountain Selects that’s required a heavy time commitment.
But that’s only the recent part of Quaife’s long resume in the game.
“I played for the Storm and I played club for Victoria and a Vancouver team,’’ she explained. “My second year Midget A I real-ized I wasn’t going anywhere in box. That’s when I got the invite from Burnaby Moun-tain and it was a no-brainer.’’
Quaife only stands five-foot-two and the nets are six-feet high.
“It was actually a huge transition,’’ she said. “I had to work on my footwork a lot more.
“In field, you’re all over the place. You have to really count your steps and know your angles. For the most part, I really enjoy field. But I do miss the box playing with the boys.’’
Quaife paid a visit to Adams State in April with her mom and knew right away she’d made the right decision.
“They were extraordinarily welcoming and nice,’’ she said. “I was just at the school for two days. I love it. It’s beautiful there.’’
Quaife, who’s also an avid lacrosse official and will be at the female nationals in Whit-by, Ont. before leaving for Colorado Aug. 18 to become a member of the Grizzlies in their sharp forest green, black, white and grey jerseys, is grateful to so many people for helping her to reach this point.
“I could never have chosen a better sport to play,’’ she said.
Don BodgerTaylor Quaife has been a box lacrosse player since the age of four and got into field lacrosse along the way which is the sport she’ll be playing on a scholarship to Adams State in Colorado.

Melissa making a pitch for the Canadian horseshoe title nextGot a sports story?email [email protected] 250-856-0045 Youbou’s Jerry Melissa is happy to be back atop
the podium after a brief hiatus.Melissa won the B.C. Highwayman Open
horseshoe pitching competition in Abbotsford after second-place finishes in his previous three tournaments. “I actually defended my international champion title,’’ he pointed out.
Melissa never lost a game and averaged 67%
ringers the first day. The second day, “I lost three games because my opponents saved their best game when playing against me,’’ he noted.

Blair RoberstonThe bigger the situation, the more likely Blair Robertson will rise to the occasion. “Whenever we need a big play or a big hit, he’s the guy,’’ said Duncan RiverCats Midget AA baseball team head coach Jim Frost. “It’s more his desire to succeed that really drives him.’’ Robertson, 16, is also a solid defensive player at second base. “Again, his mechanics are so sound that sometimes it looks like he’s not even trying,’’ said Frost. “But, yeah, he makes the play.’’ Robertson started playing baseball in Duncan as a Tadpole, but it didn’t look like he’d advance beyond that introductory stage at one point. “I actually quit for a year in Tadpole because I didn’t like the pitching machine and then I started up again,’’ he said. The first half of the current baseball season was played with the Renegades. “We really started playing good baseball near the end of the year,’’ said Robertson. “We won the playoffs so it turned out well.’’ Summer ball with the Midget AA RiverCats has brought a continuation of that success. “We’ve got a really deep team,’’ said Robertson. “We bat through our lineup all the time and great pitching as well.’’

Athletes hot in KamloopsDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial
Valley athletes Chicago Bains and Taryn Smiley made Team B.C. follow-ing some “heated’’ com-petition in Kamloops at
the provincial track and field championships.
“The heat in Kamloops was brutal, to say the least, with temperatures hovering just above and below 40 degrees Celsius,’’ noted coach John May.
“It was really hot,’’ said Bains. “But it went really well.’’
Bains went straight to the final of the 100-metre hurdles without a heat and easily won in 14.32 seconds, well under the standard of 14.50.
She also had an amaz-ing personal best in the 300 hurdles of 43.40, again well beneath the standard of 45.15.
Smiley ran a great heat in the 200 metres of 25.45 to qualify for the final where she ran a personal best of 25.07 that got her onto the B.C. team.
Smiley also ran well in the 100, equalling her personal best in 12.23.
Ben Williams was third in long jump with a season best 5.75m and attained a personal best in high jump of 1.85m for fourth place. Nicole Lind-say was third in the 400 in a personal best 58.45.
Next up is the nationals in Langley where Wil-liams, Lindsay and Casey Heyd will also be entered as club athletes.

Duncan RiverCats ran into some tough competition but still man-aged to finish third in Mission at the Midget AA provincial baseball playoffs after a semifinal
loss to Ladner.“This was my seventh provincial final and I
found this one to be by far the most competi-tive,’’ noted RiverCats head coach Jim Frost. “On the last day of the round robin, the poten-tial was there for all 10 teams to finish with two wins and two losses.
“Even though the players were disappointed with losing in the semifinal, it was a great accomplishment just to make it. Every game was a battle and they played four tense must-win games in a row and won three of them. I couldn’t have been prouder of them and
felt fortunate to be able to coach such a great group of kids.’’
Duncan opened the tournament with a 7-1 loss to Aldergrove, the top-seeded team. It was a pitcher’s duel between the aces of both teams before Jordy Frost had to come out for the RiverCats because of pitch count with the score 2-1.
Zach Komst accounted for the lone Duncan run on a home run.
Game two was a thriller that went back and forth, with Duncan winning 9-8 over Kelowna.
Adam Sakuma was the hero, bringing Duncan back from an 8-6 deficit in the seventh inning of a must-win game.
After Frost walked, Jaysen Paddle singled and Keir Baknes singled to score Frost,
Sakuma singled to left to drive in the tying and winning runs. Baknes had three hits in the game.
Reiya Tomida pitched five strong innings to earn game MVP honours. He was aided by leftfielder Paddle and second baseman Blair Robertson throwing out runners at home.
In game three, Duncan pummeled Mission 13-2, as MVP Adam Fukakusa pitched a com-plete-game five innings and Ethan Whitelaw led the offense by going three-for-four.
It was all or nothing in the last game of the round robin for Duncan and Vancouver, with the winner moving on to the semis and the loser going home.
Frost went the distance, allowing only five hits in seven innings of a 6-2 Duncan victory.
He did not allow a baserunner until the fourth.Komst won MVP honours, playing a great
game behind the plate and adding two hits, including one off the top of the fence for a double.
A strong RiverCats defence was led by first baseman Spencer Martin and leftfielder Pad-dle, who made a diving catch in the seventh to end any Vancouver thoughts of a comeback. Robertson led the attack with two hits.
In the semifinal game, Duncan fell to eventual champion Ladner 14-6, with the two games the previous day catching up to the tired squad.
Whitelaw pitched four innings of relief and centrefielder Tyler McWhirter made several running catches. Frost’s three RBIs, two for Robertson and a pinch hit by Derek Hayes led the offense.
Paddle played his fifth straight strong all-around game to receive the MVP award.
RiverCats run out of energy for provincial semifinal
