Cowichan’s Economic Development manager, Geoff Millar, says the EDC’s budget is money well spent to lure, keep and grow the valley’s businesses. health basically stem from government stats, not from charting the EDC’s effectiveness, he explained. “We’re doing a really good job for the people of our region,� said Millar.

Tax watchdog Scott Baker disagreed. “We think they’re doing nothing but enjoying their paycheques. We’ve asked North Cowichan to shut the EDC down.�

Duncan-Cowichan Chamber Of Commerce president Ranjit Dhami wants better EDC result-indicators pronto.

Millar couldn’t tell North Cowichan council the names of any new businesses attracted by the EDC. “The EDC should Âżnd businesses, and the

chamber should help them succeed,� Dhami said.

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure was also short on tools to measure the EDC’s effectiveness, but could speak to several things it has been involved in. “We all want businesses (growing) in our jurisdictions. I think Geoff has his Âżngers in quite a few pies.â€?

Those economic pastries include hosting the Cowichan agricultural fair, attending trade exhibitions and government meetings to tout the valley, and leveraging cash. “We keep our ear to the ground — there are lots of grant programs available,� noted Millar.

North Cowichan Councillor Al Siebring said reading economic-development results is tough. “It’s like trying to nail Jello to the wall — what do we have now that we wouldn’t have without the EDC? “The commission’s raised the valley’s proÂżle. Is it worth the (money)? That depends on your perspective.â€?

The EDC’s $25,000 Sustainable Economic Development Strategy sets out Cowichan’s goals with a framework of environmental, economic, social and cultural issues.

Strides appear in studies and strategies handed to the CVRD brass. more on page 5

Cowichan Lake weir resumes operation The Catalyst Paper-operated weir is once again regulating water flow out of Cowichan Lake.

The weir resumed operation on April 2. It will gradually reduce water flow from the lake into the Cowichan River to meet the target flow set by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations.

Catalyst operates the weir under the direction of the ministry, and also announced the Cowichan Lake boat lock has resumed operation. This allows boats to travel between the lake and the river.

“The weir and boat lock are operated 24

hours per day during the control season, and the lake and river levels are regularly monitored to maintain target lake levels and river release rates,” a Catalyst media release states.

To learn more about lake level, river flow and snowpack data, visit Catalyst’s website.

Cowichan loses long-time mayor Obituary: Rex Hollett remembered as North Cowichan’s most quotable mayor

Andrew Leong

Cobble Hill Elementary School teacher Bonnie GrifÄths led a group of Grade 4 and 5 students in various aerobic exercises in their gym on Wednesday, in preparation for the Guinness World Record Ätness workout event on April 20 at the Cowichan Sportsplex.

Peter W. Rusland

R

ex Hollett, North Cowichan’s longestserving, most-quotable former mayor, died Tuesday in hospital surrounded by family and friends.

He was 79.

Some folks were shocked about the passing of the Chemainiac most locals simply called Rex. “He was an absolutely honest person,” said former mayor and councillor Tom Walker.

“Rex was known to count and save every penny of tax dollars he could.

“He was very tough that way, and a lot of people say he looked after the public purse really well, probably better than his own — and he looked after that pretty well, too, being a business man.”

Former baseball and soccer coach Hollett started Chemainus’ B&H Tire in 1956 after moving to the struggling mill town earlier that year.

It didn’t take long for Newfoundlander Hollett, and w Georgina, to delve into local wife activities.

Hollett was an avid Chemainus Rotary Club member, later serving as its president, and was on the chamber of commerce too.

“Rex was a very active and enthusiastic Rotarian,” said Dr. Gerry Philippson. “He was a good Hollett: auctioneer but didn’t like doing it died April 10 m much, but Rex loved to talk.

“He’ll be remembered with respect and affection,” Philippson said, echoing Walker’s words. “Rex was best known for his integrity and ¿scal responsibility while in of¿ce — he also took responsibility for his own health and habits. The community will miss him.”

That includes Graham Bruce.

“I worked with Rex for 11 years as a councillor, then as mayor, then provincially,” the former B.C. cabinet minister said of straight-talking Hollett.

Hollett was a councillor between 1977 and 1987.

His ¿ve terms as mayor spanned 1988 to 1996, then again between 1999 and 2002.

“Rex certainly wasn’t shy about giving his opinion and had a humorous way of doing that,” said Bruce. more on page 9

Cowichan takes aim at Guinness World Record Ann Andersen

W

hen Norris and Ross McWhirter compiled the ¿rst Guinness Book of Records in August 1954 and gave away the 1,000 copies they published, no one believed the annual books and the records would become a part of global folklore.

Or that on April 20 thousands of locals will take part in a ¿tness-circuit workout that organizers hope will smash a standing Guinness record for the number of participants doing a ¿tness workout simultaneously. Cowichan Sportsplex staff and volunteers have been working on the event for months since it was announced last year.

Currently, there is a single-venue record of 317 participants on the books for the event. In the April 20 attempt, there will be ten venues.

Already, more than 2,000 people have said they will join in. And school participation is great, says co-ordinator Jessica Anderson, even though at least one school bowed out because of ongoing teacher contract issues, she adds.

“We’re participating because it builds on the school’s emphasis on health and ¿tness and contributes to a healthy lifestyle,” enthuses

Crofton Elementary School principal Darrell Wright, who expects some 55 students to participate in the 30-minute workout.

“It’s going to be pretty fun.”

“What appeals to the students is that they’ll be setting a world record,” adds Cobble Hill Elementary Grade 4/5 teacher Bonnie Grif¿ths. Between 90 and 100 students are taking part there.

“We have some pretty ¿t kids. It’ll will be an extension of their daily physical exercise,” Grif¿ths said.

The two schools have invited parents to join in the ¿tness activity in their gyms.

Other schools participating either at their own venues or at the Sportsplex are Bench, Queen of Angels, Adage Dance Studio, Frances Kelsey, VIU, QMS, Quamichan, Cowichan Secondary, Khowhemun, Alexander, Alex Aitken, Alexander and Duncan Christian School.

“That’s around 2,000, and Port Alberni and Fort St. James are also on tap to join with around 350 participants,” she adds.

“We’ve sent out volunteer ¿tness instructors to the schools if they’re needed,” Anderson explained. “Some are using the video on the website for their practising.”

To complete Guinness record requirements, all participants must be registered by Monday.

“You can’t just turn up on the day and take

part,” she explains. “People have to register by Monday for it to count.”

All venues must hold the event simultaneously. As well, there must be videos and photographs taken during the event from all the participating venues. At the Sportsplex, DDT drumline and Adage Dance Studio will entertain before the record attempt. Island Farms have donated dairy products for a smoothie bar. And local mayors Phil Kent and Jon Lefebure have con¿rmed they will attend.

When it’s over, Anderson will send a huge package with documentation including the videos and photos to Guinness World Records, headquartered in London, England.

“Then we wait to see if we have broken a Guinness record. That could take about a month.”

Entry is by donation, which will go to a fund to build a Legacy Fitness Circuit at the Sportsplex to celebrate Duncan’s 100th anniversary.

Your ticket What: Guinness World Fitness Circuit Participation Record When: April 20, check-in 11 a.m.; warm-up noon; world record event 12:15 to 12:45 p.m.

Leaders, business owners debate EDC’s worth continued from page 1

“The EDC’s hiring people to do studies — we don’t need more studies,” said former CVRD director Richard Hughes, who left the board in 2002.

“Those (studies) don’t sit on a shelf — I can guarantee that,” Millar said of studies such as Cowichan’s $43,000 agricultural strategy.

“The CVRD asks pertinent questions, and that keeps us focused.”

Mike Hayhoe of the Cowichan Valley Watchdogs howled for hard answers.

“They haven’t been able to give one instance of economic development coming from their efforts at exorbitant cost — otherwise, they’d have been able to give us that information.”

Baker agreed, while Duncan Councillor Sharon Jackson questioned why certain areas have not been targetted.

“Why aren’t they going after high-tech, things not resource-based?” she asked.

Cowichan agri-tourism, arts, and wine-industry fan Millar was unfazed.

“There are some misconceptions about what we do.

The vast majority of business arriving here have been in contact with our of¿ce at one point.”

He cited help for Averill Creek winery, and Nonuttin’ Foods.

Nonuttin’s owner Alana Elliott applauded EDC help during initial meetings toward the 2010 Olympics where she eventually sold her valley-made granola snacks.

She was also happy the EDC shelled out for a Cowichan booth at January’s B.C. Food Services Expo in Vancouver where Nonuttin’ closed deals with top chefs, cafe owners and other buyers.

“It’s easy to measure the results,” Elliott said. “If the EDC hadn’t given us that opportunity, I probably wouldn’t have participated.”

She also saluted EDC efforts several years back to help some valley producers open a food-processing

plant in space being developed by the Parhar Group near Duncan.

Millar said his goals still include food processing, and bringing ¿ve new hotels here.

Business and product development, plus market development and business recruiting, are EDC’s cornerstones, explained Millar and commission chairwoman Marsha Stanley.

“If more (budget) money was available, to some extent they’d be doing more of what they’re doing: helping existing businesses grow, and bringing new ones here,” Stanley said.

The EDC’s base 2012 draft budget, said CVRD’s Sharon Moss, is $595,457, plus $20,000 for its agricultural plan. Its 2012 draft budget for regional tourism services is an additional $271,004. Last year, its budgets were $493,755 and $259,508, respectively.

Film Cowichan, Millar’s two staffers (Kathy Lachman and Judy Mills), and two contractors — Louise McMurray of Film Cowichan, and Cathy Mailhot of tourism marketing — also fall into the EDC’s envelope.

“It’s heartbreaking to see those funds (budgeted),” said Hughes. “I’m not aware of anything they’ve done — they pour old wine into new bottles.”

Wrong, signalled Lefebure.

“Millar uses his resources to multiply dollars available for advertising and other promotion. Over the years I’ve seen results from ¿lm companies coming into the area.”

Cowichan Bay Director Lori Iannidinardo praised Millar’s help landing Italy’s Cittaslow brand, but couldn’t name EDC-lured ¿rms.

Jackson said some local leaders wonder privately what the EDC does.

“Nobody has ever come to me and said they got lots of help from the EDC,” she said, “so I’m curious to see the list of businesses they brought here. Mr. Millar has to be able to justify the money we’re spending.”

Replied Millar: “We open the door and create opportunities for business to follow through.”

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 9

Hollett remembered for his love of community

A Lunch for Seniors Invitation to: Seniors living in the Cowichan Region, Seniors organizations and Agencies

continued from page 3

Banter aplenty surfaced in the early ‘80s when mayor Bruce debated with former councillors Hollett, Glen Ridgway, Paul Osborne, Alan Hussey, and others. “It was a real transformational council with so many things still pertinent today set in place, and Rex was part of that,� said Bruce. “He added lots of colour to those discussions. It was a great deal of fun in those days with that host of characters.�

Former Duncan mayor Mike Coleman shared that democratic view. “Rex and I went to an awful lot of meetings together, including the CVRD,� he said. “He was certainly colourful, single-minded, and tough but very fair.�

Coleman also praised Hollett’s thrift on taxpayers’ behalf: “Rex was one of the best at making sure he squeezed every taxpayer penny before spending it — very Âżscally prudent.â€?

Coleman painted Hollett as a generous, family guy who could agree to disagree. “Though we disagreed politically, we never clashed,�

Coleman noted of “gruff� yet “soft-hearted� Hollett.

MP Jean Crowder said Hollett was “a unique individual and wasn’t afraid to speak his mind on what he believed in. No matter what our differences are, it’s all part of our democratic process, and Rex contributed to that process.�

Some process was guided by North Cowichan staffer Mark Ruttan: “He was a mayor with an amazing memory. He’ll be remembered for holding the line on taxes.� “We’re losing a very strong supporter of the community,� said Hollett’s retired administrator, John Berikoff. “With Rex, what you saw was what you got — you might not agree with him, but you got it right from the horse’s mouth. “He was a very strong family man, and very fair with staff.�

The late Rex Hollett with his wife, Georgina.

courtesy family

Hollett’s son, Greg, seconded all comments about his dad. “He had an uncanny ability to make people feel comfortable, to make them feel special and loved. “He treated everyone the same whether they were a king or a pauper,� he said of his father who took wayward folks into his home. “Dad was blessed with the ability to open his heart with generosity. “He showed us how to honour one another and others, how to be honest and trust, and get the most out of each moment.�

Greg said sunny Monday outside Cowichan District Hospital saw Hollett “having fun, like being mayor and council one more time, but he knew his body was worn out.� “It’s not possible to describe how much we’re going to miss him,� he added. “If God needs a mayor in Heaven, he’ll probably put dad to work.�

Hollett’s celebration of life happens April 19 at 2 p.m. in Calvary Baptist Church, 3318 River Rd., Chemainus.

Did You Know?

Canada is not currently working for all generations.

There is a silent generational crisis occurring in homes across the country, one we neglect because Canadians are stuck in stale debates. My colleagues and I hope the 2011 Family Policy Reports for all provinces will refocus public dialogue on one of the most pressing social and economic issues of our time: Canada has become a far more difÂżcult place to raise a family.

Thursday April 19th, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm Duncan United Church Hall

30% of BC children enter school vulnerable in one or more developmental areas which can impact our workforce, crime levels and community leadership.

Take this chance to be a part of something big Guinness World Record: Sign up for this Cowichan Sportsplex event by Monday

V

ery few of us are likely to set a world record.

There can only be one tallest woman in the world, only one shortest man.

And not many people would ¿ght for the title of having the world’s longest ¿nger nails.

But it’s no surprise there’s something pretty darn appealing about being a world record holder.

So here’s your chance, Cowichan.

The Cowichan Sportsplex is organizing what will become a record-breaking ¿tness workout spread among 10 venues.

And every person who signs up increases the likelihood of Cowichan Get ¿t while achieving — and keeping — the world record for most people simultaneously helping set a participating in a workout. world record With at least 2,000 people already signed up to join in on April 20, and the current record sitting at just 317 people, we’ve pretty much got this one in the bag.

And you can be a part of that.

All you have to do is register by Monday.

Email events@cowichansportsplex.com or call 250-746-5666 for the registration form.

Together, we can get some exercise, spend time with our fellow community members, and boost our odds of hanging on to the title for years to come.

And the cherry on top of this sporty sundae is knowing that out of the seven billion people on this planet, you will be one of just a few thousand people who broke a world record by spending half an hour doing push-ups, lunges and squats.

That’s got to be better than letting your ¿nger nails curl into obscene lengths.

Seeing both sides of: paving the Mount Prevost road The case against

The case for Mount Prevost is a regional treasure that should be enjoyed by all.

The Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club wants to make it easier for all Cowichanians to access it.

Paving the road and trail up the mountain would allow even those without heavy duty vehicles, plus people who for one reason or another cannot hike to the top, a chance to fully experience this beloved park.

The Rotary Club has proposed paving Prevost’s road.

Wrestling with my new frenemy, the mommy tummy Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

I

want my body back. I want my body back.

Maybe if I say it one more time, eyes closed and ¿ngers crossed it will magically reappear.

I don’t think so, Tim. Staying ¿t and losing weight is a life-long journey for most women. Childbearing is the Everest of that trip.

Some women make the hump; some never make it down.

I’ve always been super-competitive and determined and that helps explain why I emailed my prenatal ¿tness instructor, Kathleen Neilson, only two weeks after Jack was born to get the dope on postnatal classes ASAP. Docs don’t approve of doing any ¿tness routines until a new mom’s six-week check-in.

So I was jumping the gun, but in my defence I wasn’t thinking clearly then. I’d set my

sights early on the large and rather frightening obstacle in front of me, literally.

The jelly belly.

I’d heard it lingers around awhile post-baby, and often associates with jiggly legs, plump bum and even chums with saggy arms.

It’s kind of crazy what women do to get their bodies back after having kids. But in all fairness, I say it’s a rite of passage for new moms and if it makes us happy, the world can keep turning.

I waited until Jack was about two months old and joined a stroller-¿tness class with Kathleen.

In combat against jelly belly and friends, I saw women breaking out all kinds of measures: breastfeeding breaks between burpees, bouncing cranky babies while lunging and talking baby talk mid-crunch.

“By far the number one question I get from new moms about their post-baby body is how to get rid of their jelly belly or mommy tummy,” Kathleen con¿rmed.

But don’t sweat it, was basically her advice

We understand where the Rotary Club is coming from, but come on.

Slapping pavement on this epic piece of untamed wilderness seems sacrilegious to us.

There are plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces that are more easily accessed.

If you’re looking for some easy-toenjoy flora and fauna, you’ve got options. So please leave us this piece of unspoiled nature.

COWICHAN LEADERS

and reassurance to a skeptical me, wondering how long the JB might hang out for.

“Pregnancy and childbirth require incredible muscular strength and endurance,” she said.

“Appreciate this and allow your body to rest and recover.”

During stroller-¿t sessions, I’m simply amazed at the moms working their butts off and having fun, even if half of their class is lost to a milk-starving, screaming baby.

Bystanders are amazed too.

I often catch people on the premises watching our group.

One guy actually looked slightly frightened as the pack — which includes about 25 of us with strollers — charged toward him.

We mean business.

My personal vendetta with the jelly belly is coming somewhat close to completion.

I curse while in the plank and cringe when Kathleen calls for more burpees, but more so

I’m crazy about the progress and that keeps me focused.

“Nourish your body with proper nutrition and hydration too,” Kathleen said. “Eating right will promote a quick recovery and better overall health.”

Oh, the things we do for these babies.

It’s pretty clear at class, though, amidst Symphony Crying Kids No. 2 melodies, these tots are so worth it.

The way I think of it, the more work I put in now, the happier I am, the happier he is and the better care I’ll get down the road.

Maybe if I’m lucky, Jack will drive an old cranky me to my walker-¿tness classes.

YOUR TURN

Do you support improving Mount Prevost park, and paving a road to it?

“No. Paving a mountain isn’t the best way to take part in nature. Mount Prevost park would be akin to what happened to Mount Tzouhalem after the Cliffs Over Maple Bay project. Do we really need to pave the way to Prevost for more outdoor activities?”

“It’s a good idea because Mount Prevost would become more accessible to those who’d like to get out and about, but can’t do that kind of hike.”

DriveAble improved to respect seniors and protect our roads

Ultimately civil discourse won out in at-times testy budget meeting

Dear editor Thank you for your front-page story and April 4 editorial about North Cowichan’s proposed tax shift. Both explained the shift and the reasons for it quite clearly.

However, I must take issue with your portrayal of the public meeting itself. Many of the citizens’ remarks were indeed “lengthy” and at times “heated,” but it is not accurate to tell your readers that “two sides clashed.” There weren’t two sides.

For almost two hours, the council and most of us 90 or so residents listened quietly, while more than a dozen citizens asked questions and spoke. Not all the speakers were angry, nor did all of them oppose the suggested tax change.

Almost all did feel strongly that it would be a hardship, and some feared that it might be “corporate welfare.” There were “voices booming” and “cheering” — and yes, some “¿nger-pointing recrimination” and “anger,” too. But these all came from a few of the residents who rose to speak — and some others who preferred to shout anonymously from their seats.

Later, after the mayor asked council members to share their thoughts, there was more “booming” and “cheering” — and some “jeering.”

There were even rudely shouted interruptions.

But they all came from anonymous audience members, who apparently thought they had wandered into a hockey game, or perhaps the House of Commons. I didn’t hear one councillor shout, or belittle another speaker, or their point of view, or interrupt them.

After the public comments, the council worked hard for another hour and a half, struggling with individual uncertainties and real differences among themselves. Eventually they reached a consensus — which is their job — on a course of action nearly all of them could vote for. And all of them are bound by their oath of of¿ce to support it going forward.

Yes, there was “shouting and scorn” at Monday night’s meeting, as you could expect for such a dif¿cult issue. But it didn’t come from council or staff, and it didn’t “rule the Àoor.”

Our attempt to have a civil society did.

This piece of local paradise needs no paving Dear editor

In my opinion: Program now better

A

Edward Hill

Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan (Vancouver Island North) and Langford Mayor Stew Young were all smiles after Duncan announced the federal government would chip in $7.5 million to help rehabilitate the E&N track. Two of today’s letter writers write about the economic beneÄt of the line.

I cannot believe the paving of Mount Prevost Road is actually being considered. Mount Prevost has always been a favourite getaway for mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers.

There are groups of grandparents, parents and grandchildren who love to make Mount Prevost a special day outing.

Is the recently announced hike in municipal taxes going to cover the paving and all related expenses for upkeep of the paved road?

Mount Prevost Road is inaccessible in the winter due to snow, and is closed in summer for ¿re season. It makes no sense whatsoever to spend money paving a road that is only used part-time.

If the road to the monument were paved, would there then be sight-seeing buses to the top? The road would need to be widened considerably for that. Then, maybe we’d need traf¿c lights along the way. There are logging trucks on the road as well. And how about a cement barrier down the centre for safety? It works for the Malahat!

Has Joni Mitchell’s “Pave paradise and put up a parking lot” been forgotten so soon? Let’s use some common sense here!

E&N E funding good news indeed

Dear D editor For those of us who have been working aat keeping the E&N passenger and freight sservice alive for the past 24 years, this week’s aannouncement by the federal authorities was ggood news indeed. The condition of saying IICF will never ask for more funding in the ffuture is wild, like saying we won’t put any more money into road building. However, the m

So you want a letter published?

Here are some tips: Keep it short — 300 words or less; Keep it local — letters raised in response to issues raised in our pages get top priority; Keep it clean — attack the issue, not the individual.

You must include your full name, home community and a phone number where we can reach you during office hours. Addresses and phone numbers will not be published.

Letters will be edited for clarity, grammar, length and good taste. Name-withheld letters will not be published.

We receive more letters than we have space for. Publication is not guaranteed.

good news is that with the safety of the line now going forward, the highly successful short line freight service will now be able to go out and seek pro¿table drop off locations up and down the island for local businesses, allowing for short haul trucking instead of expensive long haul. With us ¿nally getting permission to use Nanaimo as the main hub, the passenger rail will take on a more dynamic function of both commuter as well a tourist day trips. This will have both short term and generational long term results. All this is very good for our economy, for our environment and the well being of all islanders as we build walking/bike trails alongside. Keeping the vision alive over the years will now bring bene¿t to all. Now let’s do those thank you letters to everyone who we asked for this support.

Henry Landry Duncan

Now let’s increase island rail’s freight trafÄc

Dear editor The federal government took far too long to make this (relatively) inexpensive commitment! What is needed next is action from the province to reduce truck traf¿c on the Malahat by requiring bulk commodities such as gravel, sand, etc., be moved from up-island to Victoria by rail. They should also require the planned Raven coal mine to ship their product by rail to Port Alberni, rather than by highway. The focus should be on increasing freight traf¿c, not on commuter rail. Commuter rail is good, but requires huge infusions of government money.

s the minister responsible for public safety, I want British Columbians to know the facts about how we’re improving the DriveABLE program to better meet the needs of drivers while maintaining public safety.

As we get older, our cognitive abilities change. In a small number of cases, they change to the degree that driving simply isn’t safe anymore.

It is very emotional and dif¿cult to face the possibility that, after decades of driving, we may face the loss of our licences. I understand that. In fact, I went through that process with both my parents.

It is important to note a very small number of drivers, including seniors, actually lose their licences. Of 3.1 million B.C. drivers — 84,000 of whom are over 80 — only about 1,500 take a DriveABLE assessment each year. The vast majority of seniors will continue to drive for a long, long time. About 95 per cent of referrals to take the assessment come from physicians, when they screen for cognitive impairments they believe make it unsafe for their patients to drive.

We clearly heard concerns from seniors about DriveABLE. First, some seniors felt anxious about taking the on-screen DriveABLE assessment.Second, they want the assessments to be done closer to home, especially in rural communities. Several months ago, after listening to these concerns, I directed staff to look at program improvements.

Our government listened and has taken decisive actions. The biggest change means that seniors will no longer have a decision made about their ability to drive solely based on an on-screen assessment.

People who do not pass this assessment will be given the opportunity to take an on-road assessment. The province will pay for both assessments.

Final decisions will be based on a combination of the two, plus medical information provided by their doctor.

We are also in the process of developing a service-delivery model to reduce the amount of travel for rural British Columbians. As a Northerner, I am acutely aware of the challenge that travelling long distances creates for seniors. Our goal is to provide services as close to home as possible through regional expansion and increased mobile services.

We also recognize that we have to do a better job of outreach and public education. Ministry staff will be working to connect with seniors and their families much earlier in the process, with a focus on how we can help prepare them for possible changes and how driver assessments work.

Staff will also work with stakeholder groups (such as medical doctors and physician groups) who will assist us in developing new materials that explain age-related driving issues, medical ¿tness requirements and personal planning for driving retirement.

A peer review is currently underway on DriveABLE and we look forward to seeing the outcomes. We will be monitoring future research, and will be prepared to make adjustments based on what is learned.

Our goal is a simple one: to ensure seniors can keep driving for as long as it’s safe, while ensuring decisions on their ability to drive are done in the most fair and respectful way possible.

Shirley Bond is the Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

Sinking of Titanic felt even in Duncan Dateline 1912: Tragedy makes local headlines Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

I

ndulge me on this one. A mere child in 1953 when my parents took my sister and me to see A Night to Remember, I’ve been hooked on things Titanic ever since.

So I couldn’t possibly let the 100th anniversary this weekend of the sinking of the unsinkable ocean liner pass without comment.

In April 1912, The Leader printed an interview with a survivor, Standard Chemical company president Arthur Peuchen. Here are a few extracts: “It was a Sunday evening, a starry night and calm. There was an exceptional bill of fare on for evening dinner. We were all in evening dress and the ladies wore many jewels. Music went on as usual...Everything was exceptionally bright.”

“The women kissed their husbands goodbye, the husbands assisted their wives to the boats and then stood back like any other man. The boats were not ¿lled to capacity. One boat had 23 in it, but its capacity was 60.”

“First (the orchestra) played ragtime, then other tunes, and ¿nally as they sank beneath the waves the strains of Nearer My God to Thee were wafted to us till the waves closed over the heads of the gallant musicians.”

I’ve left out the awful bits.

Cairn restoration leader says park yes, paved road no on Mount Prevost

Mount Prevost: A paved road to park isn’t on councillor’s radar Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

A

paved road to Mount Prevost park isn’t in Councillor Al Siebring’s crystal ball.

But a graded road to a gravel parking lot boasting stairs to the peak, some safety railings, and maybe a few concrete picnic tables seemed a good idea to Siebring who spearheaded restoration of Prevost’s war-memorial cairn a decade ago.

“The bottom line is we can’t do the road, but a (improved) park up there would be absolutely fabulous.”

Siebring reckoned a paved road and parking lot, recently pitched to council by Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club’s Dave Darwin, would cost “millions and millions of dollars.”

But Siebring supported the idea of a committee of local service-club members that would explore and fund park improvements during ¿ve years or so.

“If service clubs want to get together and do that, by all means, I’m all for it,” Siebring said of Rotary’s vision of all-ages’ access to an improved destination park.

“Their expectation is we’d do the road, and they’d do the stuff at the top.

“The municipality can maybe help out a little bit, but we don’t have a lot of money.”

Besides, Prevost sits atop North Cowichan’s municipal working forest that’s gated during ¿re season, he noted.

“I don’t know that we want to turn a logging road into a paved road for a park that we have to close from early June to September during ¿re season — it’s a road you’d only use half the year.”

Then there’s the downside of more Prevost traf¿c.

“Parties, ¿res, vandalism. It goes on now, and with the road it’ll be even more,” said Siebring, noting the memorial park area is quietly patrolled by staff. He visualized a rough park modelled after that on Salt Spring Island’s Mount Maxwell.

“It’s logging road all the way, pretty rough, but they’ve got some (cliff-side) railings, concrete picnic tables and other things. It’s just a nice spot.”

Siebring saw Prevost park remaining a natural experience with some safeguards and eco-protection.

Diabetes is one disease which is important for the patient to understand fully. Having one-onone instruction from a diabetes educator is an important part of reaching this goal. It has been shown that those diabetics who understand their diabetes will manage it better.

People that smoke marijuana in their youth appear to be more at risk of pyschoses and schizophrenia later in life. Two thousand young people that smoked marijuana at least 5 times were found to be 5 times more likely to develop psychosis during the next ten years. Food for thought.

This 1924 shot shows the original cairn erected as a War Memorial at the top of Mount Prevost.

“As far as safety goes, you’ll never take the risk away totally — it’s a cliff.”

A staff report about Rotary’s ideas, and possible park upgrades, is about a month away, Mayor Jon Lefebure has stated.

The idea that all herbal supplements are safe because they are natural is not always true. We always recommend you tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbals you take on a regular basis because there are some herbs than can interact with some drugs like warfarin (used as

C omments

an anti-clotting agent for some heart problems).

Herbs like dong quai, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng and St. John’s wort are examples.

Alcohol and a good night’s sleep are not compatible. If you aren’t sleeping well, look at your alcohol intake. Older women seem to be more affected than men with poor sleep after alcohol. Try without for a while and see if your sleep improves.

Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Let our pharmacists be part of your health team.

They’re young, they’re professional and they want you Tipton, a chartered accountant with MNP, said the goal is to promote and encourage social interaction and to “assist the Cowichan Valley’s future business and community leaders.”

She hopes bringing together the valley’s young professionals will generate discussions and an exchange of ideas.

“I want to meet with other young professionals who have the same interests, struggles and are interested in building a network.

It can be dif¿cult when you don’t know others,” said Tipton.

“This is really the beginning phase. The direction of this depends on the direction the group wants to take. It’s an avenue to bring them together, and I’m really interested in what they have to say.”

Step inside the natural world of two Cowichan Valley Artisans Goodship, Spohn and more: Tour opens a doorway into 13 studios Peter W. Rusland

apturing the natural world surrounding their home is reÀected in multimedia artwork by Cowichan Bay’s Nan Goodship and Peter Spohn.

Ceramicist-painter Goodship and brush man Spohn are among the Cowichan Valley Artisans’ newest members showing work now toward their group’s big studio tour April 20 and 21.

But CVA members sport artistry spanning wine making (Venturi-Schultze Vineyards), hair styling (Doc The Barber), pottery (Mary Fox, John Robertson, Cathi Jefferson), and painting (Jennifer Lawson) to furniture making and woodwork (Karen Trickett, Michael Moore, Ken Broadland) and even glassmaking (Jo Ludwig, Peggy Brackett).

Spohn — alias valley preservationist Grandfather Heron — said 14-member CVA is a professional group of artists and craftspeople earning livings through their talents.

“They have professional attitudes, and they’re committed to excellence in their work,” he said from their Sacred Mountain Studio.

“I like being part of a co-op — we’re pooling our marketing revenue to advertise ourselves.

Everyone keeps a high standard of excellence whether they’re producing food (Alderlea Farm and Cafe) or art.”

Goodship agreed.

“They’re dedicated to excellence, and open and available.”

She’ll display pieces — circling ceramic tiles and sculpture to acrylics and watercolours— beside Spohn’s colourful landscape canvases.

“My new painting looks toward the mill and Mount Tzouhalem,” Spohn, 60, said of his series extolling the Cowichan Bay Estuary.

“My pieces in the show are oil, but many in my new series are pastel and acrylic,” he said of landscapes twinning his abstract “soulscapes.”

Goodship, 53, also depicts Mother Nature, “and I’m really in the inner journey so often things from nature have to do with the inner state.”

Some of her acrylics and watercolours were spurred by a recent Mexican trip.

Other inÀuences spring from living in West Africa, Japan and France.

She earned a UBC degree in Japanese and Asian studies and took art at Metchosin Summer School of the Arts, and she also studied at VIU. “I started 15 years ago doing custom, handpainted tiles as an offshoot of renovating our old house, then I did ceramic sinks and countertops — then started making hand-built ceramics, and exploring different types of glazing.

“You’ve got to keep things moving.”

Spohn began making art at around age eight, attended Shawnigan Lake School, then taught in

Jeremy Fisher leaves tourbus behind for intimate Cowichan Valley show Hooked: Singer known for One Less Tourbus series performs in Duncan Celina Albany

News Leader Pictorial

S

UNFest veterans know Jeremy Fisher doesn’t need much to command an audience.

Around for nearly a decade now, Fisher’s ability to be a one-man show has established a comfortably large fan base for his speci¿c style.

Fisher, a wry native of Ontario now living in Montreal, will perform new songs in Duncan as part of his album pre-release tour.

The upcoming album, Mint Juleps, will go public during summer 2012. He will also be performing songs from his latest album Flood, released in October 2010, along with other tracks.

The Showroom is an ideal location for an artist such as Fisher, in light of his intimate and humble vogue-like style — known for throwing in comic relief from time to time.

The Showroom is one of three shows Fisher will be hosting in B.C. this month.

Fisher’s other appearances will be at Saint Ann’s Auditorium on April 6, Salt Spring Island on April 7, and Saint James Hall in Vancouver on April 12.

He has contrived every album while living in a different city, thus ¿nding inspiration in many forms and removing himself from being bound to

the same experiences.

Between the liveliness of moving from city to city, Fisher toured with well-known artists LIGHTS and Hawksley Workman.

His 2001 One Less Tourbus initiative was designed to help girls in Africa. Fisher biked from the West Coast to the East Coast while performing for six months. He travelled about 7,500 kilometres.

Invitation to: Community Organizations, Agencies, Child Care Centres, Parents and interested Community Members Join us for a FUN FILLED PARTY with people talking about how we can address the declining standard of living for young Canadians by creating a better policy deal for the generation raising kids!

WTF parties are just the tonic to heal our ailing democracy, and to address the declining standard of living for Generation Squeezed.

When faced with growing political apathy, especially among citizens under age 45, it is heartening to see that some Canadians have found a way to respond.

The generation raising young kids is squeezed for time at home because many families require two incomes, squeezed for income because often even two-earner wages are not keeping pace with housing prices and squeezed for services like child care because they are not available or are too expensive….

WILLIAMS, Kenneth Victor June 21, 1929 to April 10,2012 Survived by his wife of 63 years, Josie, daughter Sandra Quesnel and husband Wayne, son Vic and wife Ping, and son Jim and wife Glenda. Sisters Laurie Forsythe and Joan Bronson. Brothers Alan and wife Phyllis, Ron and wife Norma and Brooke and wife Linda. Predeceased by his youngest sister Nancy. Grandchildren Candice and Dwayne Quesnel, Jason and Tomas Williams. Many neices and nephews each of whom he still enjoyed. Ken died suddenly while falling a tree, a job he still carried out himself. He loved to tell his children of how he had a job and was supporting himself and buying all his own clothing by the time he was 12 years old. He was unique in the fact that he travelled into Duncan and managed to graduate from grade 12 at Duncan High School. All of his adult life he had his own business and managed it as and how he pleased.

Ken worked in the Forest industry with his own logging truck and later acquired enough equipment to run his own contract logging business which he ran for many years in the area.

Later on Ken and his family built a sawmill in Glenora which was destroyed in 1993 by fire. After the sawmill, Ken and Josie started to travel in their motor homes, all over North America.

They saw Alaska to the very bottom of Mexico together, always doing it their way, on their own terms. He liked to say that he “Sure had a good run” in his lifetime. He achieved so many things that were important to him. He will always be with us.

A Memorial for Ken will be held at the Glenora Hall on Sunday, April 15 at 2:00 PM. Please join us and help us remember the good times.

BENNIE, Robert Dobinson Bob passed away peacefully at the Chemainus Health Care Centre on April 7, 2012, at the age of 89. Predeceased by his brothers Charlie and Earl, Bob is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary, son John (Karen) Bennie, daughter Susan (Lyle) Boffy, grandchildren Kyle, Alan, Charlie, Jamie, Andrew and Dale, sisters-in-law Irene and Joyce, and numerous nephews and nieces. Bob was born in Cedar District on June 6, 1922. In his youth, Bob excelled at soccer and particularly lacrosse, where he played Senior “A” lacrosse for the Nanaimo Native Sons and became known as “Buck” Bennie. Bob joined the B.C. Telephone Company in 1938, working as a journeyman lineman, district maintenanceman, and eventually retiring as a construction supervisor in 1980.

Bob and Mary married in Nanaimo in 1945, and enjoyed a full and wonderful life together. Bob was an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. The freezer was always full of game meat and seafood. Bob also enjoyed playing bridge, as well as golf at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, where he served terms as the greens superintendent and president. Bob served the community as a long-time member of both the Chemainus Chamber of Commerce and the Chemainus Rotary Club.

Summers with the family were spent at the cabin on Comox Lake. In retirement, Bob and Mary spent time travelling, camping, at “the lake”, and golfing – truly a “life well lived”.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Paul Manhas and all of the staff of the Chemainus Health Care Centre for their kindness and special care to Bob. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Mount Brenton Golf Club on Saturday, April 21, 2012, from 2 pm to 4 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to Parkinson Society Canada, 316 – 4211 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M2P 2A9.

HOLLETT, Henry Rex Dec. 2, 1932 – April 10, 2012 Rex was born in St. John’s, NFLD. At 12 years old he came by train to Nanaimo with his mother and three sisters to join his Dad who was already stationed there, and he took his schooling in Nanaimo. Rex moved to Chemainus in 1956 where he started his business, B & H Tire Ltd. He and his wife Georgina raised their four children in Chemainus.

Rex was very active in his community, coaching baseball and soccer. He belonged to the Rotary Club where he was their longest active member. He was past president of Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce and also served on the Chemainus Hospital Board. He spent eleven years serving as a municipal councilor and twelve years as the longest reigning Mayor of North Cowichan. He chaired many committees such as Finance and served on the Regional Board. People looked forward to enjoying Rex’s pancakes during Chemainus Days. He always had time for people and was always willing to help in any way that he could.

Rex was predeceased by his Father and Mother, Nathaniel and Genevra, his daughter-in-law Michelle and his brother-in-laws Bruce Davidson and Joe Frketich.

Rex leaves behind Georgina, his loving wife of 57 years; children Crystal (Bill), Tim (Faye), Greg (Carol), Lance (Catherine); sisters Elsie, Jean and Mable (Don); grandchildren Rebecca (Jeff), Genevra (Dave), Katie, Angella, Natasha (Jag), Justin (Sarah), Ryan (Nikki), Nicole (Cody), Nathan (Erin), Jonathan (Sarah), Benjamin, Rachel; great grandchildren Tory, Austin, Wrenna, Nyah, Avden, Logan, Opal, Iyanna and Rowan.

Rex gave his all for his family and community. He enjoyed the last day of his life surrounded by his family, sitting in the sunshine smiling, talking and laughing. He was much loved by all of his family and friends. We would like to thank all of the nurses and doctors at the Cowichan Hospital for their excellent care and many kindnesses.

We know you are looking down on us Dad. We love you.

A celebration of life will be held at 2pm on Thursday, April 19th at the Calvary Baptist Church, 3318 River Road, Chemainus.

In lieu of flowers, look around for someone in need and help them out. That’s the way Rex would have done it.

ictory eluded all three Cowichan teams in Greater Victoria Minor Football Association games Saturday at McAdam Park against Westshore, but not from a lack of effort.

The Pre-Atom Bulldogs fell 26-0, the atoms lost 13-6 and the peewees were beaten 14-6 in hard-fought battles with the visiting Warriors.

Coach Jeff McDonald liked the effort of his pre-atoms that wasn’t reÀected in the score.

“At the end we were moving the ball,’’ he said.

Plenty of heart and determination was shown by the kids.

The youngest Bulldogs gave up a touchdown on the ¿rst Warriors’ possession. But, as the game progressed, the players showed improvement.

Eighty-¿ve percent of the team is composed of ¿rst-year players.

The defence gave up three TDs in the ¿rst half, but proved tougher to

busy stretch of games continued last Thursday for the Cowichan Secondary School T-Birds boys’ rugby team.

The T-Birds went to Cedar and posted a convincing 39-0 victory, dominating from start to ¿nish.

Dylan Pilon scored two tries while singles came from Brandon Kirton, Darren Parcells, Zac Iwasyk, Brighton Lowood and Cam Blair-Speirs.

Lowood also kicked a pair of conversions.

Pilon and Seth Davis both made solid attacking runs, according to coach Ron Glass, while Parcells was a standout with solid tackling and thunderous carries.

It was a great development opportunity for Cowichan against a weaker Cedar side.

Cowichan is entered in the island seven aside tournament Friday at UVic in a pool with Oak Bay, Vanier and Glenlyon.

William Hardman broke through for the longest Cowichan run of the day while defensive stands in the second half were made with the help of Robert James, Sawyer Ellison and Grif¿n Ellison.

The Peewee Bulldogs broke the

“We’ve just got to get consistent,’’ said coach Junior Charles.

lub volleyball teams in the valley are serving the needs of players looking to play the game more often and at a higher level.

The Edge Volleyball Club’s Under 14 girls’ team consists of seven players from Duncan Christian School and three from Nanaimo.

“We started last year here and we had a U18 team,’’ said coach Mary Joan Visscher from DCS. “Now, they’ve all graduated and we’ve started younger again.’’

The provincials are at the end of April in Abbotsford.

With only a handful of practices under its belt, the team played in the island tournament at Spectrum and did very well. “They had some fabulous opportunities to learn from them and they did,’’ said Visscher.

The team ended up in the Tier 2 section after pool play.

Meanwhile, Olivia Bakker, Rachel Bakker and Chantal Bouchard of DCS are playing for the U18 Shock with Brentwood College and Frances Kelsey girls, coached by Jill Fougner.

Megan Groenendijk of DCS is playing U18 in Nanaimo. Samantha Davison and Kayli Wiersma of DCS are with the U16 team in Mill Bay. DCS also has its atomic program going for ages 9 to 12. “It’s de¿nitely something we want to build in the community,’’ said Visscher.

earing those Canadian jerseys is really bringing out the pride and con¿dence of the Cowichan Crusaders’ Cal Cup ¿eld hockey team.

The girls took on an Australian U18 group in a pair of exhibition games last week, winning 4-1 at Shawnigan Lake last Thursday and 2-1 at UVic Friday.

“It felt like a real international match,’’ said Cowichan co-coach Dan Cleemoff.

“It was good for the girls. It boosted the con¿dence of the team.

They are starting to come together a little bit.’’

The Crusaders will be playing in the Cal Cup tournament in California next month.

The Aussies, called the Wanderers, have literally been doing that — going from place to place on tour.

“It’s like one of those touring companies,’’ said Cleemoff. “They’re from all over Australia. They’re all different levels. They didn’t meet each other till they got on the plane to come here.’’

It was about much more than ¿eld hockey for both sides. The girls were all billeted to experience a true cultural exchange.

“They really appreciated that,’’ said Cleemoff.

“They’ve been on the road the whole time.’’

The club has enjoyed a long and illustrious history in the valley and will mark the special occasion with several commemorative matches and events this summer.

The ¿rst will be the XL Centennial Festival match in honour of Peter Clarke July 12. The Cowichan XL side takes on the Vagabonds that day.

Aug. 2 will bring the current Cowichan XI side together with an International Selects XI for the Centennial celebration match.

The Incogs of the Victoria and District Cricket Association are also marking their 100th anniversary this year and Cowichan plans to get together with them at some point at St. Michael’s University School in Victoria.

The Cowichan Centennial gala dinner will be at Shawnigan Lake School’s Derek Hyde-Lay Pavilion on Aug. 21.

The club’s Centennial will honour the past, celebrate the present and enhance the future of the sport in Cowichan.
