Appalled drivers watch as pooch beaten like a dog Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
T
he word about a low-life Cowichanian who assaulted a Boston Terrier in front of bystanders is spreading like wildfire on Cowichan’s social media pages. “We’ve had 22,000 page visits and 348 shares. I’m absolutely gobsmacked,” said Chris Davies Tuesday after a Facebook post he created telling the nasty and violent story he and wife Leigh witnessed Sunday afternoon. “We were witnesses today to the shocking, horrifically emotional abuse of a lovely little Boston Terrier,” Davies, owner of Mid Island Ink Depot, said on the post. The couple was driving on Cowichan Lake Road when they spotted the dog stepping with caution onto the road at the Gerz Road turnoff, he explained. They slowed and pulled over, flashing their lights to warn oncoming traffic to stop. That’s when the situation turned ugly. Chris Davies was appalled after witness- “We saw a 20-someing a dog (not this one) beaten Sunday. thing thug coming down Gerz Road, obviously the owner of (the dog) shouting... (The dog) was cowering now and sat down in the middle of the road.” According to Davies, the “thug” then pinned the terrier by the neck to the road and punched him three times in the head. And that’s not all. “He then picks him up by the scruff and flings him over the road and into the ditch,” said Davies. Davies as well as another bystander addressed the man and heated words were exchanged, including what Davies said was a nasty threat by the man to his wife, Leigh, when she said she was going to call 911. “He said, ‘I’ll f---ing kill you if you dial 911,” said Davies. Now back in their vehicle, Chris and Leigh, who had also called police by then, followed the man to the house he came from at 4400 Inwood Creek Rd. They pointed the house out to police officers. North Cowichan/Duncan Cpl. Jon Stuart confirmed the incident is under investigation. “The police have located and spoken to the male, and checked out the dog to ensure no visible injury,” said Stuart. “This matter and all relevant information, has been referred to the SPCA for their subsequent investigation and follow up, as they are the lead agency in these sort of files.” more on A12
Duncan fire chief Mike McKinlay keeps an eye on the burning power lines during a structure fire at 491 Bundock Street at 11:50 p.m. Sunday.
Smoke detector saves Duncan couple from fire Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
A
blaze just before midnight Sunday at 491 Bundock St. in Duncan once again proved the value of properly-working smoke detectors. Occupants Karen and Nathan Taylor escaped unharmed from the fire at their residence. “They woke up to their smoke detector,’’ said Duncan fire chief Mike McKinlay. “Their living room was on fire. The smoke detector saved their lives.’’ The residence was already fully engulfed when 23 Duncan firefighters arrived on four trucks.
“It was coming out the front windows of the living room,’’ said McKinlay. He added it took about two hours to mop up the blaze. There’s an apartment block on the north side and an eight-unit facility to the south of the residence, McKinlay said, but there was no danger of the blaze spreading. A nearby power line caught fire, but “they burnt off at the pole,’’ said McKinlay. The family has been displaced from its home temporarily. “We provided them with emergency social services, as usual,’’ said Sybille Sanderson, general manager of the public safety department for the Cowichan Valley Regional District. “As far as I know, they are OK and have family and friends to stay with.’’
It’s believed the house was insured, but not the contents. The cause of the fire was not known. A closer inspection into the cause was delayed by a day due to resources being sent to Port Alberni for an investigation into a fatality. Stephanie Donahue, who lives right across from the burned-out residence on Powell Street, has started a collection for the couple via Facebook and word of mouth. Donations can be dropped off at Donahue’s father’s business, Duncan Auto Glass, at Unit 3-2905 Allenby Road between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. more on A12

Reporter honoured for coverage of arrest in double murder
UP FRONT
A former News Leader Pictorial reporter’s coverage of a high-profile double murder arrest has earned her a prestigious provincial newswriting honour. On Saturday, Krista Siefken (left) earned the B.C. and Yukon Community
Newspaper Association award for best feature article — probably the event’s most competitive individual category — for her piece Finding Forgiveness. The award was presented at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond April 20, one year to the day after William

Pair gets bravery medals for response to RV rollover
Ceremony last night: Hero says he just reacted to 2011 crash without thinking about it Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
I
nstinct to help others in danger drove Nick Lysne to rescue folks from their crumpled RV outside Duncan two years ago — earning a medal for his heroics. “You always wonder how you’d react, but I was pleased to understand I could do what I wanted to help out, without thinking about it,” the Duncan native said of the potentially explosive wreck. He and fellow hero Daniel Paulusse were to receive Royal Canadian Humane Association Canada Bravery Awards Tuesday from Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon at Surrey’s RCMP headquarters. Honorary Testimonial Certificates were also set for Ashli Bell, and Nick’s mom Vanessa Lysne, who also helped save the dazed couple on Oct. 10, 2011. “It was near Whippletree Junction and raining lightly,” Lysne remembered of heading south with Vanessa to Victoria. Then he saw erratic motion by the southbound motorhome ahead. “I saw it jerk a bit then drift to the side, hit the barrier and bounce off. It then hit it again and it was literally airborne, then on its side along the barrier for 200 feet, taking out a couple of signs.” The careening RV ended on its right side on the median as Lysne, now 24, told his mom to stop their car. “I got out and ran to the RV.” He and another guy — Lysne assumes Paulusse — reached the mangled motorhome. “We could see the driver inside; he was conscious and staring forward, still strapped in. I boosted another man up to see if he could get in,” he said of the driver’s side aimed skyward. “There was fluid leaking — gas pouring into the ditch. We figured it could go up anytime, so we started kicking in the windshield.” A first-responder arrived and gave instruc-

all scratched. “Me, the first responder and another man got to the lady; she seemed OK, but also in shock, and saying “My beautiful RV.’ We led her out as firefighters showed up.” Lysne, who was unhurt, wasn’t sure why he leaped to action. “There was a chance it could go up, and you couldn’t leave them in there. It was surreal, like a movie, then you realize it’s real. There were
people in there and you had to help them.” Vanessa suffered hand cuts during the rescue. Nick heard from police the couple was basically unhurt after a suspected case of hydroplaning. The Surrey Walmart worker’s now mulling work with the Canadian Border Services. “The award’s kind of surreal. I don’t feel I deserve it; there were lots of people there and they all helped out,” Lysne said.

Creating Unity out of Community
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
New mural: arising from ashes of the old at the Phoenix Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
P
hoenix Motor Inn’s fresh downtown mural illustrates some positive lessons for young artist Cyrus Genier. From fierce political fires — that saw Genier’s former Community artwork disallowed by city council as graffiti — has emerged, noted muralist Barry Coté helping Genier generate a new Unity mural design, recently approved by council. That rendering, depicting trees, a river, mountains and flowers, was first vetted by the city’s fledgling arts-jury then sent to councillors for approval.
“It’s a win-win-win,” said Councillor Sharon Jackson, satisfied the new arts-jury process worked well. “Cyrus gets to do another mural, and learn from a professional.” Coté explained he was eager to teach talented Genier air-brushing techniques toward finishing Unity by week’s end on the Phoenix’s private, 60- by 10-foot wall, facing west. “Cyrus’ stuff’s roundy; my stuff’s pointy,” joked Coté, who’s given spray-painter Genier a used airbrush for the exterior-paint project. “Council wanted something more reflective of the Cowichan area,” Coté said. He noted several folks visited the sunny site Saturday, angry council ordered Genier to paint over his former controversial artwork. Genier explained how he remained confused how council had approving powers about artwork on a wall

owned by the Phoenix — whose owners commissioned Community. Still, he was amped about learning air-brushing from Coté, a 45-year arts veteran whose work graces Khowhemun school and other local surfaces. “Barry’s teaching me lots of neat things about airbrushing,” he said of the lettered artwork green-lighted by council. “I think council has come around to seeing art has a place in Duncan. “It’ll slowly make its way out of the shadows and onto the surface of buildings as a continuous cycle,” said Genier, suggesting approved makeovers of walls in Centennial Park, and Cowichan Secondary’s playing field.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAWS No. 3680 and 3681 ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 3682 Applicable to Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora NOTICE is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held as follows to consider the above noted Amendment Bylaws: DATE: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 PLACE: Eagles Hall 2965 Boys Road, Duncan BC TIME: 6:00 p.m. Open House 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3680 (Bill 27) proposes to amend Electoral Area E and Part of F – Cowichan-Koksilah Official Community Plan Bylaw (OCP) No. 1490 in order to: 1. Provide information on climate change and an inventory of locally produced greenhouse gas emissions. 2. Add polices, targets and actions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions into several sections of the OCP such as Agriculture, Residential, and Forestry. 3. Introduce the Wetland Protection Development Permit Area, which would require a development permit when a wetland is located on a parcel of land proposed for subdivision. This DPA forms part of the Bill 27/Climate Change amendment bylaw because wetlands function as storage for greenhouse gases, in addition to providing numerous other ecological functions. Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3681 (Conservation, Species at Risk & Social Sustainability) proposes to amend Electoral Area E and Part of F - Cowichan-Koksilah Official Community Plan Bylaw (OCP) No. 1490 in order to: 1. Update the “Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Hazard Lands”, “Forestry” and “Parks and Institutional” sections of the OCP, to include policies that are supportive of a regional conservation strategy, watershed planning initiatives, flood protection, species at risk and biodiversity protection. 2. Draw attention to the significance of Wake Lake, and add policy supportive of a conservation zoning for land within 1000 metres of Wake Lake. 3. Propose a new land designation and zone near Chemainus River Park, for the purpose of allowing a caretaker’s residence to oversee the Park. 4. Introduce a policy framework for community amenity contributions. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3682 (Parkland, Wetland, Trail Acquisition) proposes to amend Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Zoning Bylaw No. 1840 in order to: 1. Rezone Lot A, Section 7, Range 9, Sahtlam District, Plan VIP 88170, and Lot 1, Section 7, Range 9, Sahtlam District, Plan 83485 (shown outlined below with a solid black line – Map A) from R-2 (Suburban Residential) to P-2 (River Corridor Conservation) to reflect the current park use. 2. Rezone Legal Lot Poly 15927 VIP 64839 (subject property shown outlined below with a solid black line – Map B) from I-1 (Light Industrial) to P-2 (River Corridor Conservation) to reflect the current park use. 3. Increase the minimum lot size in the R-2 Zone for lots served by a community water system, from 0.4 hectares to 0.8 hectares. 4. Include a bylaw provision that would allow subdivision along the boundary created by a park or trail dedicated to the CVRD, subject to specific criteria. Land eligible for subdivision along a dedicated trail or road must be previously identified in the Zoning Bylaw’s appendix. 5. Remove wetlands and watercourses from the land area eligible for use in calculating minimum parcel size requirements (applicable to subdivision applications). Map A

So when four dozen lovers of and experts on the Cowichan River are able to say with reasonable unity: this is what is endangering the river and this is what needs to be done about it, the powers-that-be better sit up and take notice. So why are we afraid all the work done by the Cowichan Chinook is destined to slip away like Let us put our Workshop a leaf riding a springtime current? Could it be because we have watched passion and the forces in Victoria make foot-dragexpertise to ging over matters of local importance a way of life? use Local people are the ones who see first-hand what is happening on the river. Local people are the ones who live with the consequences of decisions and indecision. Local people have the knowledge and the passion. Putting control of the flows in local hands only makes sense. The Chinook Workshop put a lot of work into gathering the scientific evidence that paints a vivid picture of what factors are affecting the health of our salmon run. That picture is the bedrock, the detailed diagnosis that can be used to steer a comprehensive treatment and recovery plan. But the recovery plan is useless if the head surgeon is absent and unwilling to delegate responsibility to a gifted protege. River issues tend to be the passion of a select few conservationists, scientists and outdoorsmen. As long as there is water in their taps, the public tends to regard the ongoing dialogue as so much gurgling. That needs to change before it’s too late. Without action, the tap will run dry.

As we wrap up our coverage of this year’s Black Tie Service awards with a pair of profiles in toay’s edition, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer some applause to the winners. Good work is often taken for granted. But being sometimes taken for granted is not the same thing as being unnoticed. Your work is noticed. And events like the Black Tie give us a chance to say “well done.”

Dike doesn’t suddenly disconnect land from marsh Aaron Bichard
News Leader Pictorial
O
n Wednesday, April 17, in a unanimous vote North Cowichan council drew a line in the sand. Or, more accurately, they tried to move a line in a marsh. The decision made was to push ahead with an application to the Agricultural Land Commission, which if successful would pave the way for development on a piece of current ALR land. The reasons are: keeping core services in the urban core, which is where this land is located; the municipality owns the property, a significant cost saving; and the dike supposedly orphans this land from the sensitive Somenos Marsh ecosystem. The first two reasons are valid — avoiding sprawl by containing development makes sense, and in a time when taxpayers are feel-
ing squeezed, keeping costs low is responsible and welcome. But to think that a flood fence disconnects this piece of wetland from the rest of the sensitive ecosystem and somehow renders it fit only for development is simply incorrect. For this reason, the land should never have even been considered, and the application never submitted. The dike isn’t a prison wall, keeping one side locked away from the other. The more fitting analogy is a screen door. On one side, pesky annoyances like mosquitoes — or in this case floodwaters — are kept at bay while the essence of nature, the cool breezes, the summer sights and sounds, and the experience still filter through. Sitting on a front porch behind a screen door, a person is still connected to the outside, yet not inconvenienced by the biting insects. This special piece of property will continue to function as a filtering spot for runoff from the asphalt of Beverly Street. It will continue to provide refuge for nesting birds and other
Details about what is needed to put Via Rail passenger cars back on E&N Rail tracks are sketchy. But the fact such a deal still needs to be sealed is troubling. With federal, provincial and local government all cracking open the treasure chest to spark a renaissance on island rail, we wonder why Via’s co-operation wasn’t signed off on long ago. What is the hold-up?

wildlife looking for shelter from the ever-encroaching pavement, and it will continue to be an integral part of the Somenos watershed. It remains connected. I vowed I wouldn’t reference conservationist crooner Joni Mitchell here, but come on, we’re talking about paving one side of the marsh and we actually have a tree museum on the other. Talk about connections. Plus, she identifies “a screen door slam” as the signifier of irretrievable loss, due to not appreciating the importance of what exists already. North Cowichan insists this is only the first step in a long process, and that a final decision about using this land for the RCMP station has yet to be made. Without the approval of the Agricultural Land Commission, the discussion of developing the property can’t even seriously begin. Yet looking at the ALC’s purpose, which is to preserve agricultural land, and encourage
the use of agricultural land for farming, it doesn’t seem to me they’d have much reason to turn down this application. According to opinions relayed by municipal staff, the land is too wet for farming, yet not too wet for development. What we know unequivocally is it’s not too wet for wildlife, nor to carry out its function as part of the ecosystem. If the ALC denies this request, the community can collaboratively move toward finding a new home for the police station. If not, all we can do is hope for council to realize it is their perspective that is disconnected, not this piece of land. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them.

CVRD continues to disrespect the Cowichan Valley taxpayer
hat does it mean to be a man? It’s a question that is constantly being weighed and challenged by both sexes as expectations evolve and change
Dear editor The CVRD directors have again thumbed their noses at Cowichan taxpayers in approving the 2013 budget. The tax increases are two to eight times the rate of local inflation and bring spending increases in the past decade to more than 100% when inflation was less than 25%. There is no leadership on this board. Contrary to the nonsense from directors about “tough budget decisions” the biggest single increase again this year is in pay to themselves and the already well-paid 220 CVRD employees. More than 25 CVRD staff will collect more than $100,000 in pay in 2013. At least $375,000 of new taxes will go straight into employee and directors pockets this year added to the whopping $14 million wage bill. That doesn’t include the generous pay scale increases of up to 10% that a number of CVRD employees will also be given this year. At the last minute this irresponsible board added to an already bloated 2013 budget by pork-barrel additions to grants-in-aid. Several lucky recipients of grants even got raises without asking for them! The CVRD continually breaks its own policies by repeatedly giving money away to the same special interests year after year. This board allows itself and employees to spend more than $1,000 each and every day of the year on taxpayer paid meals, fancy hotels, conferences and travel using the more than 50 CVRD credit cards issued to directors and employees. We recently heard about the $45,000 the directors spent on sending themselves to an irrelevant conference in the Maritimes. You

Company-saving mission accomplished, Catalyst boss steps aside Peter W. Rusland

elping rescue the Crofton mill from the financial brink is one feather in Catalyst boss Kevin Clarke’s cap as he plans to step down in June. While Catalyst brass looks for his replacement, North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure was happy with Clarke’s straightforward style — and the future of the municipality’s biggest taxpayer that adds more than $3 million to its coffers annually. “I suspect he was brought in to manage Catalyst at a very tough time in its existence.
“I suspect some of the crisis-management role is over, but they’re not out of the woods, and they’re still in an incredibly competitive environment,” he said Friday after Catalyst announced Clarke’s departure. Lefebure praised Catalyst’s hard work to weather credit protection under Clarke, as the company struggles to swap markets. “Newsprint and directory paper are a shrinking market, so they’re working hard at getting a larger share of that shrinking market. “They also recognize that shrinking market isn’t viable on a longer-term basis for their industry so they’re looking at new products to move to,” Lefebure said, saluting Clarke. “He was very down to earth — what you saw
is what you got. There were no games played. He didn’t try to bully us or sweet talk us.” Catalyst chairman Les Lederer was chuffed how CEO Clarke helmed the firm through “three pivotal years.” “Under his leadership, the company intensified its focus on stakeholder relationships, which culminated in the rapid completion of a reorganization plan that significantly improved Catalyst’s balance sheet and cost structure.” Clarke continues in his role through June, assisting a smooth transition. He plans to return to his home in New York State, where his family resides, Catalyst’s release says.

Investigation launched from A1 Manager of Cruelty Investigations with the BC SPCA Shawn Eccles has also heard about the complaint and confirmed an investigation was launched yesterday. But unfortunately, the process isn’t cut and dried. Actions, which can include the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Criminal Code, depend on details, evidence, witness statements, the owner’s criminal record, cruelty record, if any, and the police report, said Eccles. “At the very least, we’ll be issuing an order,” he said, which includes constables working with animal guardians to educate
them on animal protection laws and proper care required for their animal. “And with that we’re also creating a record.” The fact of the matter is, “If you’re at the point when you want to hit your dog, maybe you shouldn’t have one,” said Eccles. For dog lovers Chris and Leigh, they’re looking to “name and shame this thug,” but more importantly make sure due discipline is taken and assurance the dog is safe. “Right now we’re in the dark. Is that dog alive? Is it still with the owner? This is what is so upsetting to a lot of people,” he said Tuesday. Responses to their Facebook story have included several folks willing to adopt the pooch and make donations to the SPCA if the dog is seized.

anada’s biggest cancer fundraising event wants Cowichan to grab the baton. Relay For Life returns to the Cowichan Valley in two months, and organizers are calling on volunteers — both to participate and to help run the show. Linda Tesser, community giving coordinator at Relay For Life, said they are a “crucial part” of the whole process. “We rely on volunteers to make our event successful,” she said. “We need volunteers to be part of our committee, as well as those to help with set-up of stages and things on the day of. It’s a really good opportunity to develop your skills and be part of our organizing committee.” She describes the event as having a “festival-like atmosphere” and said it is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels to come out and have fun in support of fighting cancer. “We are looking for cancer survivors or those who are battling cancer. At 6 p.m. we have our survivor lap but there’s also a reception before that at 5 p.m. and there is no cost to be part of that. People are welcome to stay afterwards.” As well as singular volunteers, Tesser is also pushing the event as a team building environment and platform. “We are also looking for teams of eight to 15 people to participate. For example, a company who has

Organizers are looking for a bounceback from last year’s Cowichan event, which saw participation dip and the festivities ripped
by a windstorm. Tesser stated she has ambitions of raising $35,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. The 12-hour Relay For Life takes place June 1 and 2 at the Cowichan Sportsplex, running from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Anyone interested in getting involved is urged to visit relayforlife.ca or contact Tesser at ltesser@ bc.cancer.ca.

Notice of Proposed Revitalization Program Bylaw
North Cowichan Council gives notice, under sections 94 and 227 of the Community Charter, that it proposes to adopt Bylaw 3488, “Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Bylaw.” The reasons for establishing this revitalization program are slow economic growth, high unemployment, stagnating commercial core areas, and underutilized and vacant industrial land. The objectives of the revitalization tax exemption program are to: 1) stimulate the local economy; 2) generate permanent new industrial jobs and part-time construction employment; 3) encourage new commercial and residential mixed-use development to locate within existing commercial core areas; 4) increase the Municipality’s overall tax base over the long term; 5) encourage development of industrial land; and 6) encourage low environmental impact development. By doing so, Council hopes to encourage investment and development of industrial and commercial land, and stimulate the rejuvenation of mixed-use commercial areas within the Municipality. The proposed bylaw will establish a revitalization tax exemption program to grant property tax exemptions for the entire property of an eligible development located in the following revitalization areas: 1) South End/University Village; 2) Chemainus; and 3) industrial lands (except the area in Chemainus known as the Chemainus bench lands (which is about 28 acres, along the East side of Chemainus Road, South of Victoria Street, and North of Bare Point Road). Maps of the revitalization areas and the excluded industrial lands are attached to proposed Bylaw 3488. The kinds of property and development eligible for a tax exemption under the proposed program are: 1) Class 1 - Residential, with a minimum density of 100 dwelling units per hectare; 2) Class 4 - Major Industry or Class 5 - Light Industry, with improvements worth at least $250,000 or that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 25%; or 3) Class 6 - Business and other.. Before the Municipality issues a tax exemption certificate to the owner of a parcel, the applicant must: 1) complete and deliver the prescribed application to the Corporate Officer no later than October 15 in the year prior to which the exemption is sought along with a $200 application fee; 2) in the case of Class 4 (Major Industry) or Class 5 (Light Industry), provide satisfactory evidence that new improvements have been constructed on the parcel that: have an improvement value of $250,000 or greater, or have a value of at least $50,000 and have resulted in a 25% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as compared to emissions before the construction of the new improvements; and 3) enter into a revitalization tax exemption agreement with the Municipality. The amount of the proposed tax exemption for each calendar year, during the period for which the tax exemption is issued, is equal to 100% of the general municipal taxes imposed under section 197 (1)(a) of the Community Charter on that part of the assessed value calculated by deducting the baseline assessment from the current assessed value and multiplying the difference by the current municipal tax rate. The total tax exemption for all years must not exceed the total cost of improvements or the increase in municipal taxes payable due to the revitalization. Tax exemptions will not include exemption from any parcel tax, local service tax, or business improvement area tax payable in the designated area in which the parcel is located. Development cost charges for water, sewer and roads will be waived for all eligible development in a revitalization area for Class 1 (Residential) or combined Class 1 (Residential) and Class 6 (Business and other). The maximum term of a tax exemption provided under the proposed program is 10 years for an eligible Class 4 (Major Industry) or Class 5 (Light Industry) development, or 5 years for an eligible Class 1 (Residential), Class 6 (Business and other), or combined development. Persons wishing to review the proposed Bylaw 3488 may do so at the North Cowichan Municipal Hall, 7030 Trans Canada Highway, Duncan, BC, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays), or by visiting the Municipality’s website (www.northcowichan.ca).

nvestigation continues into a Tuesday morning vehicle crash into a power pole that unplugged hydro across the Shawnigan Lake area. Cpl. Jason Kerr of the Shawnigan Lake RCMP detachment says the 5 a.m. wreck allegedly happened when a westbound, 1981 GMC SUV left the road and hit the power pole. “The collision resulted in power being lost throughout a large region of Shawnigan Lake. “The 53-year-old male driver was the only occupant of the vehicle. The driver, a resident of the Shawnigan Lake area, suffered minor cuts and scrapes as a result of the MVI.” Witnesses can call the Mounties at 250-743-5514. — Peter W. Rusland

or seven years GardenPals has been educating Cowichan Valley school children about gardening and food security in a unique way. The program, which was formed by Carol Sim in 2006, takes children from Khowhemun School and pairs them with older generations to learn and take a hands-on approach to food security and growth. “I really liked the idea of working with kids,” said
Sim. “But I also like the idea of working with elders, so I thought, what if I put them together. It will be like pen-pals but they will relate through the garden.” Sim has been gardening since her childhood. She also went to school for horticultural therapy at Providence Farm. “My grandmother sold a lot of things out of her property. She sold eggs, corn, strawberrie, and asparagus,”said Sim. “ She took me out and showed me how to grow things and of course I got to harvest with her, which is the fun part for the kids.” more on A16

GardenPals cultivate gardens
Community hikes to the summit for Cowichan Hospice
from A15
Ashley Degraaf
Through GardenPals, kids ranging from kindergarten to Grade 4 spend four months working the communal plot of the Jubilee Community Garden, which is located in Centennial Park. From seed back to soil, the kids learn about planting, weeding, harvesting and then composting. When the class arrives they are split into three groups. Two of the groups join GardenPals volunteers to work the garden; the other group gets an environmental lesson, usually on a topic of their choice. Healthy snacks are also provided, said Sim. “GardenPals appeals to me because it starts the younger generations gardening and cultivating things,” said David Edwards, a GardenPal volunteer. Once the garden is ready to be harvested the kids get to take a big bag or two— depending on how hungry they are — of chives, carrots, radishes, and lettuce to make a big healthy salad back at school. This is the part that really connects the kids with the food, said Sim. “There is a big disconnect from kids and food. They have no idea where food comes from, they just think it comes form a store in a plastic package,”said Sim. “I thought it was really important to show them where food comes from and to let them try to grow it.” Anything that the children don’t harvest is donated to the women’s shelter, said Sim. The GardenPals are currently seeking volunteers. If you would like more information or to sign up, contact Carol Sim at 1-250-748-0580.

Community service a lifetime vocation for George Robbins By George: decades of leadership in business and elsewhere earns Robbins a volunteer Black Tie Ashley Degraaf

othing’s slowing down Cobble Hill’s George Robbins. He’s still going strong, even 23 years after the now-retired head of Cowichan Bay’s Westcan Terminals was recognized as Cowichan’s Top Businessman in 1989. The Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce recently awarded Robbins with a Black Tie Volunteer of the Year, award at a ceremony held April 13. “I keep myself busy,” Robbins, 76, said, spouting numerous organizations, groups he’s founded or associated himself with.
He’s currently running with local Liberal candidate Steve Housser in the promotion of his election campaign. “I believe that economic justice can best be won by free people through free enterprise,” is Robbins’ catch phrase. “That service to the community is the best work of life.” Besides his political ventures, which he said he’s had a hand in since he was 17, Robbins is the founding member and current chair of the CVRD Economic Development Commission. And that’s not it. He’s coached little league, acted as a member of the Cowichan Valley Hoo Hoo club, which was instrumental in the creating the B.C. Forest Museum,

as well as the organizing committee for the 1972 B.C. Sports Festival, now B.C. Games and a director/worker with the Cobble Hill Fair. In 1987 he was a founding member of the Cowichan Business Development Foundation, now known as Community Futures. He was also behind the creation of the Cowichan Bay Improvement Association. That, and a representative of the Cowichan Watershed plan, on top of sitting around the table on behalf of the Malaspina University College Foundation. If that wasn’t enough duties, Robbins also shares much of his time with his four grandchildren. And between entertaining the kiddies, he still breeds thoroughbred horses. “I’ve got a new horse, Herbie #2,” said Robbins. “I’ve been doing that for year and years. That keeps me going too, but it’s just a way of life for me.”

he deadline for tax returns is looming. And if you can’t afford to submit your income taxes before April 30, there may be a program geared for you. Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, the Canada Revenue Agency links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The program is aimed at individuals with income levels below $30,000 per year for singles and investment incomes below $1,000. In Duncan, Dave Maandag, the community ministries director for the local Salvation Army chapter is volunteering through the tax program. “I have been registered by the CRA for the past two filing seasons to complete individual tax forms,” explained Maandag. “And including myself, we have four people working on tax files.”

Maandag anticipates filing individual tax forms for 250 to 300 people. “We find that most of the people we help are on income assistance, on disability pensions or seniors,” explained Maandag. “Often these forms can be overwhelming and we are here to help them.” Filing taxes is especially important for seniors, Maandag said, as information is filtered to other federal departments that flag elders who should be receiving Guaranteed Income Subsidy. “They can then be approached to ensure they are receiving the full amount of income they are entitled to over and above CPP/OAS pensions,” said Maandag. Maandag asks interested folks make an appointment by calling 250-746-8669. The service is provided free of charge and continues year round.

Hudson will Tread Lightly on three decades of valley painting experience
ON STAGE
Judy Hudson is inviting you to Tread Lightly during this week’s Cowichan Valley Fine Arts show and into May. The veteran valley painter is hosting Tread Lightly, a retrospective show of her work at the Island Savings Centre Theatre galley until May 15. The show will include almost 60 paintings in oils and acrylic. The show will include a recent series
of abstract acrylics, but other work stretches back 20 years, she said in a media release. “I didn’t know what I would show when I signed up for this show at the Island Savings Theatre Gallery 18 months ago. But as I inventoried my paintings and talked about my work with friends and colleagues, a pattern of painting the same subjects in nature emerged, particularly the

Delicious Lies on the menu for comedy lovers Scapino’s spaghetti western: Chemainus Theatre transplants Moliere’s scoundrel to the wild west

S
capin’s saddling up. Scapin is the most popular character of the famous 17th-century French playwright Moliere. He’s set to spew his deceits and stories across the Chemainus Theatre Festival Inn’s stage starting Friday. But it won’t be in the same setting fans are used to. In what they’re calling Delicious Lies, the Chemainus Theatre Festival is adapting the 1671 comedy with a Western twist. Main man Scapin (Thomas Jones) and sidekick Sylvestre (Brian Linds) talk hillbilly talk and conniving in a small town set in the wild west. “There’s a wildness in the west that works just perfect with sticking with the commedia style,” said director Mark DuMez, who was referring to the play’s improvisational style built on character’s physical interactions. “I thought the western world allowed them to stay true with that style it was built on. And it’s really important when doing a piece by a master that it doesn’t turn into a museum piece,” he explained of their decision to take a Western turn. Plus the theatre company hadn’t done anything with a western theme
for several years, he added. “It’s sort of bridge between our adaptation and Moliere’s original. It’s the halfway point.” Linds, who plays Scapin’s sidekick Sylvestre, compares the duo to a modern-day Charlie Chaplin or a Marx Brothers. “It’s not just about perfecting the words, it’s a lot about the physical side,” Linds said on the the timing of his character’s goofy antics, in which he also compared to those of hit television show Seinfeld’s Kramer. “My character’s not so quick and not as smart as Scapin,” he explained. “But the audience, they’re really going to enjoy the quick pace. It’s improvisation at its best.” Linds has graced the Mural Town stage in productions of Harvest, Arsenic and Old Lace and Barefoot in the Park. Delicious Lies “brings a fresh approach to physical farce and combines sophisticated clowning with good storytelling and retains the writer/actor/director’s personal enjoyment for the commedia dell’arte, an improvisational style of performance that emphasized physical interaction between two people, situations, and point of view,” explains a show backgrounder. Moliere’s original is often adapted as Scapino! directed by Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale, and Scapin, by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell.

Bachman takes care of business in Cowichan by tapping lengthy list of vinyl hits Review: Canadian icon showed well how Every Song Tells a Story Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
W Peter W. Rusland
Canadian rock superstar Randy Bachman animates how Every Song Tells A Story during his splendid April 15 Cowichan Theatre show.
hen Randy Bachman fixed a snapped guitar string in the ‘70s, he had no idea the monster-hit American Woman would be born during tune-up strumming. That’s the kind of creative luck, and crazy antics, musically remembered last week in the Cowichan Theatre by Canada’s legendary leader of Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Brave Belt. Oh, and Guess Who shared superband duties with pianist Burton Cummings? Salt Spring Islander Bachman was flanked by drummer Marc LaFrance, and axmen Brent Knudsen and Mick Dala Vee during the delightful, retro-rock, jazz-spiced show that packed the house. Popularity of Bachman’s musical memorylane was displayed when the whole joint danced to his iconic rendition of BTO’s Takin’
Care Of Business. Yes, music’s been good to Bachman who climbed his ladder to fortune and fame — sharing nostalgic stages with Cummings intermittently in recent years. Bachman has told the News Leader Pictorial TCB bought him “all his homes and cars.” But there were many other hits along the way, some shared by a relaxed Bachman and crew April 15. It was all part of his Vinyl Tap Tour, subtitled Every Song Tells A Story. And tell them he did. Draped in hoser flannel, and slinging a vintage ‘50s Gibson Les Paul, Bachman explained the origins of his bands’ many hits, and off-stage antics, backed by period film footage on a huge screen. From Prairie Town — thawed from his vault of Winnipeg numbers — to Guess Who’s first hit Shakin’ All Over, then meandering to These Eyes, She’s Come Undone (a play on Bob Dylan’s poetic line ‘She’s easily undone’), to Laughing, and Let It Ride, Bachman was in fine form. Folks knew they ain’t seen nothing yet. Sure, some tales would be familiar to fans of
his popular CBC radio show, but those stories seemed fresh when told live by the living piece of Canadian rock ‘n’ roll history. It just seemed fitting the high school dropout earned the Order of Canada for helping put Canuck rock on world stages. He was a pioneer back when Neil Young, Ian & Sylvia, Joni Mitchell, and Gordon Lightfoot were also in their prime. But Lightfoot rarely leaves Toronto these days, and Joni’s retired to paint. Tyson played Cowichan more than a decade ago. Neil Young headlined Cowichan Arena’s Clean Air Concert back in 2004 when he had medical issues. Some still wonder where $200,000 in proceeds from that legendary night — shared by The Barenaked Ladies, and Tal Bachman — went, but they know where to find Randy Bachman. He’s on the air, and on the road playing places like Cowichan. Judging from last week’s pit stop, fans sure welcomed the guy who’s still Looking Out For Number One. Canadian-legend rock rating: 9 amps out of 10.

WATKIN,
Margaret Rose Born October 15, 1914, passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, April 17, 2013 at Cerwydden. A heartfelt Thank You to the staff on floor 1 and to Dr. Watt for their care of Mom. She was born in Humboldt Saskatchewan, raised and married in Quill Lake Saskatchewan and moved to Duncan in 1943 with her family. She was predeceased by her husband Jason in 1961, her son Vernon in 1990 and her son-in-law Floyd Lundstrom in 1995. She leaves behind her sister Edna, 96, in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, her son Edward and daughter-in-law Linda, her daughter Marilyn, six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Known as “granny� to everyone, she was renowned for her baking, especially cinnamon buns, butter tarts, almond ring and those iced oatmeal cookies that some people were known to hide from other people in the family. We will miss her. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to your favourite charity or to the Salvation Army. LOUGHRIDGE Garry Lyle August 5, 1944 - April 18, 2013 Loughridge, Garry - “Papa� - It is with a sad and heavy heart that we must tell family and friends of the passing of Garry Lyle Loughridge, on April 18th, 2013 from complications arising from lung cancer. Garry was born in Victoria, British Columbia to Charles and Audrey Loughridge. Garry will be greatly missed by Connie, his loving and devoted wife of 48 years; daughters Sharlene Lang (Dan), and Shelley; sister, Gail (Jim) and brother, Alan (Lorna), and his loving grand children whom called him “Papa�, Shay, Charlie, Parker, Travis and Carson. Garry worked at what he loved, driving trucks for 30 years for Doman Transport, which later became Trans-Isle Freightway’s. After moving from Victoria to Cobble Hill in 2001, Garry joined the Vancouver Island Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS), which became a passion for him. In 2008 he became the President of ATHS, serving for 5 years before giving up his post as President in December 2012. Another of Garry’s passions was his love of “puttering�. He would always have many projects that involved building and creating. These projects always kept him busy in his shop or in the yard and he always went about these projects with a grin on his face. Garry’s first love was his family. Connie, his wife, was his best friend and soul mate. In 1999, Garry and Connie began to raise their granddaughters, Shay and Charlie. “Papa,� to them was their grandfather, but became a father figure in their life. Garry was always a role model to his older grandsons, Parker and Travis. “Papa,� was always there for advice and any guidance they wanted or ever needed in their lives. The boys, Parker and Travis, always wanted to be like Papa. Carson, the youngest grandson, kept Papa entertained with his many stories and Carson always wanted to be helpful in any way he could be in Papa’s shop. During the past 2 1/2 years, Garry’s health declined, but Garry exuded positive strength. He made his family and friends believe, as he did, that everything was going to be okay. Everyone Garry came in contact with was touched by his strength and spirit. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, April 28th 2013 from 1:30 to 4:00 at the Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay, 1681 Cowichan Bay Road, Cowichan Bay B.C. Flowers are declined with gratitude. In lieu of flowers, if so wished, donations can be made to the Coronary Care Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Please send donations to: ‘Garry Loughridge’s Memory’ - 1952 Bay Street, 3rd floor DNT Building , Coronary Care Unit, Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria BC, V8R 1J8. SANDS of VICTORIA 250-478 3821

Robert Alan Greer “Bob� Sept. 08 1940 – Apr. 12 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a dear father, grandfather, uncle and husband of Helen. Bob is survived by his 4 children, granddaughter, step children and great-grandchildren. Born in Regina SK, Bob spent his early years as a long haul trucker. Moving to Duncan BC in 2001 to retire, Bob met his soul mate Helen in 2006. They spent 7 happy, fun and adventurous years travelling to visit, family, friends, and wintering in Arizona. Bob will be remembered for his dry wit, and his helping hand to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed by Helen as he was the partner she had always dreamed of, always taking care of her. Please join Helen and family at the Celebration of Bobs life on Saturday, April 27, 2013 @ 2:00 pm at the clubhouse in the Silver Park Seniors Mobile Court -2885 Boys Rd. Duncan BC.

Caps’ camp brimming with prospects Worth a look: Quality of players at spring sessions give coaches plenty to think about

T
he Cowichan Valley Capitals’ new regime didn’t waste any time putting its stamp on the B.C. Hockey League franchise. Under the direction of new head coach and general manager Bob Beatty and owner Cory Wanner, the Caps had an impressive group of prospects on the ice for their annual spring hockey camp. “This is the first key thing,’’ said Wanner. “It’s obviously exciting to come out here and be part of the process. “We’re not going to be scrambling. I don’t think people have to be concerned we’re not going to have the talent.’’ There was plenty of interest in the camp from prospective players. “We ended up turning some people away,’’ said Beatty. “The teams were full enough.’’ The Caps had 152 players, comprising eight teams, on the ice at Cowichan Arena for sessions Friday through Sunday.

Slick move is attempted by Vincent Guimond (8) while breaking in on Francis Lapierre-Slicer during Sunday afternoon’s Cowichan Valley Capitals’ spring camp all-star game at Cowichan Arena. The weekend concluded with a fast-paced all-star game. The talent came from all over, from the local area to New England and everywhere in between. Director of scouting Lou Gravel of Parksville and Dana Dirks, the team’s Prairie scout, have been among those busy people behind the scenes who saw the fruits of their labours. Beatty also has numerous
contacts from his many years in hockey and is continually on the lookout for players himself. “There was a small percentage I’d seen,’’ he said. “Overall, they were new to me. We had some great help evaluating.’’ A who’s who of valley hockey personnel was at the arena to view the prospects and provide feedback to the coaching staff. “I thought there was some real
good competition,’’ said Beatty. “It certainly gave us a starting point, for sure. “We’re going to work, obviously, all summer. We’re going to make three or four commitments. We’ve got at least half a dozen to 10 guys we’d like to see battle for jobs.’’ Beatty is off to Boston next week to check out a showcase tournament.

Duncan Skating Club’s Courtney Vanderstap placed first in Star 4 13 and Over Group 2 while Fuller Lake’s Amber Ree took first for Star 4 Under 13. Fuller Lake’s Paris Hanke also got into the medals with a third in Star 4 13 and Over Group 1. Baylee Hopwo of Duncan finished seventh in that division. Others in Star 1 through 3 competed for ribbons and an evaluation. Duncan results in 3B Group 2 were: Haley Dragicevich gold, Jenna Batty silver, Stephanie Hleck bronze. Anna

T
wo evenly-matched teams played a great game in crazy weather during Sunday’s Cowichan Women’s Football League action. The Ravens blanked the Matrix 6-0 on a first-quarter touchdown by Brittany Williams. That was it for the scoring, but a lot of other things happened. Teams played in a hail storm at times and then heavy rain. Nikita Kitagawa was a gamesaver for the Ravens. She broke up what appeared to be a sure Matrix TD in the nick of time and also caught up to a receiver who got through the defence and stopped a breakaway run to the end zone. The Ravens played aggressive defence. Everyone was on top of
the ball to knock it away or grab flags. Kelsey Scholz recorded three sacks for the Ravens. Williams added two interceptions on deflections from passes knocked away by Jamie Russell. Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks so that greatly affected the offenses. Russell subbed in for Rikki Wylie and Marcie Welcher stepped in for Tara McCaffery for the Matrix. Gloria Locke (3) and Heather Horn tallied interceptions for the Matrix. Sabrina Desrochers played a great game with three sacks. In other games, the Crew blanked the Roofco Sirens 39-0 and Moo’s Law defeated the Wildfire 32-18. Marilou Sullivan scored three TDs for the Crew. Janelle Mould added a TD and two interceptions while Jessica Lines-Wikkerink contributed to the offense with a TD
and one-point convert, Carolyn Gudmundseth also had a convert and Willy Toews recorded a TD. Kim Funk matched Mould’s two interceptions. Jennie Hittinger added another and Darbi Aitchison tallied two sacks. Shelly McKay pulled in two interceptions for the Sirens and Giselle Hearsey had one. Jodi Fortier managed a sack. Jaimie Olson went wild for the Law with three TDs. Rachel Hastings posted a TD and three sacks while Kim Scafe collected a TD and a sack. Leanne Closson put a pair of one-point converts on the board, Pattie Atkinson had an interception and Nicki Flynn added a sack. Wildfire TDs were scored by Dieneke Pedersen, Zazil Martinez and Marika Richard. Pedersen also contributed a sack and Sue Glenn picked off a pass.

Leah Theobald Speed kills in rugby and that’s what makes Leah Theobald so deadly to the opposition. Theobald, 17, a Grade 12 student, plays fullback for the Cowichan Secondary School senior girls’ rugby team. She’s a threat whenever she touches the ball. “You kind of just have to run fast and be tough,’’ said Theobald of her position. “You see the whole field so you have to be loud and tell people where to go, direct them.’’ Previous track training came in handy, helping her to make the B.C. Under 18 sevens team. “She stretches defences, she’s just so fast,’’ said Cowichan coach Brad Skene. “She’s really adapted to the game and figured out how to use her speed. To have our other weapons and then have her, it just causes defences lots of confusion.’’ This is only Theobald’s second year of rugby but she’s emerged this season as an instant leader. “I didn’t really have time in Grade 10 so I cut back some sports in Grade 11 so I could play,’’ she said. A little peer pressure from team members played a role in Theobald joining rugby. “I did track so most of them knew I had athletic ability so they wanted me to come out,’’ she said.

Owner Wanner aims to make Caps a winner Pleasurable business: Investing in franchise a way of giving back

hanging just one letter in the last name of the Cowichan Valley Capitals’ new majority owner makes him a Winner. Cory Wanner, 42, hopes that’s not just a coincidence and good things are ahead for the B.C. Hockey League team after a difficult season because the dedicated fans of Cowichan deserve it. “We want the people in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley to get very excited,’’ said Wanner during a visit to the Caps’ spring camp on the weekend. “The valley’s going to be very proud of us with the turnaround in the product we’re going to be able to put on the ice come September.’’ Wanner was born and raised in Estevan, Saskatchewan, went to school for a couple of years in Calgary and returned to Estevan in 1991 to a family business selling oil field equipment. He still operates successful businesses in the region — a real estate branch known as ICON Investments and IPT Canada that represents two oil field transportation companies in Estevan and Kindersley. Wanner and his wife have
seven children aged 20, 17, 15, 13, 12, 10 and three. The 20and 13-year-olds are girls. Wanner’s wife comes from a family of six girls and four boys. They plan to continue living in Estevan, but also part-time here. “I’m looking for a second home here on the island,’’ Wanner said. “We plan to spend two, three or four months.’’ Coach and general manager Bob Beatty is a minority owner under Wanner. “Bob and I met four years ago in Prague, Czech Republic on a Bantam showcase,’’ explained Wanner. “We kept in touch. We ran into each other once or twice a year.’’ Wanner intended to buy the remaining shares in the Caps from the long-term people to make the ownership a nice tidy package, but “we have no problem keeping some minority shareholders in,’’ he said if that’s what they desired. Wanner said Beatty and former Caps’ coach Darren Rodney, who’s maintained a connection with the team for many years, were acquaintances and that’s how word about the Caps’ franchise being for sale got back to him. Stew Gordon was working on a deal with one party but it fell through and Wanner
worked out tentative plans with him to purchase the team in January before finalizing things in the next two months. Wanner could not disclose the purchase price of the team, but said the escalation of prices in sports has raised Western Hockey League franchises to between $5 million and $8 million. He sees the value in BCHL franchises going up as well. Yearly budgets for junior hockey teams are pegged between $300,000 and $700,000 to run a team and he puts the Caps’ budget somewhere in the middle. Wanner’s involvement bodes well for the long-term stability of the Caps’ franchise. Fans were initially worried about the team being sold and moved, but Wanner said he never had any intention of doing that. He’s here to stay. “We showed up here in March for the first time in the valley and fell in love with it,’’ Wanner said. “It exceeded our expectations. “We can be in an environment with these boys that is a small-town feel.’’ Wanner’s background dictates financial responsibility. He intends to run the franchise under that edict. “When we looked west, our understanding was Alberta was slightly profitable and
Don Bodger
Cory Wanner feels at home in the valley already and is happy to be supporting opportunities for kids as Caps’ owner. B.C. can be profitable if you’re responsible and do things properly. We’re not in this for a profit. We’re in it to satisfy a desire for the love of the game and our way of giving back
because I’ve been blessed in my life.’’ The big thing for Wanner is providing an opportunity for all kids to get to the next level. “It is the elite, we believe,
the premier junior program in Canada. We just want to be a part of that process and be a partner to the BCHL and showcase junior hockey in Canada.’’

Cowichan’s Tyler Hughes. Joel Wilson also came up big in the Cowichan net on one Langley scoring opportunity. Langley struck for a goal midway through the second half. “They were better in the first bit of the second half,’’ said Hughes. “After their goal, it woke us up a bit and we started to press.’’ With only about seven minutes remaining, Kevan Brown scored the equalizer. The ball went into the box and a defender headed it back into the middle where Brown won it and put it past the ‘keeper.
“Both teams were thinking overtime then,’’ said Hughes. But Cowichan ended up getting the gamewinner in injury time. Kevin Jones crossed the ball and Dan Cato freed himself from his check to finish the play off. “It’s almost like we finally got a break, we’re working so hard,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin. “It was a huge win,’’ Hughes said. “The guys were really happy, especially to come back from being one goal down.’’ Offense has been a problem for Cowichan

One person’s junk is another’s treasure Cowichan Valley Recycle: where old items find a new lease on life
Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
E
veryone knows the saying ‘One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.’ Cobble Hill’s Karyne Bailey’s quite familiar with it and uses it often when promoting her online recycling forum Cowichan Valley Recycle. “Our group is about gifting things out for free and obtaining items we desire for free,” Bailey explained of the Yahoo Group, CV Recycle, which she created in 2004. Since its inception the group’s seen an inflow of about 1,000 members and hundreds of items come and go and take a new lease on life. “Fronts of old broken speakers became jewelry displayers, old banned cribs became trellises, banned walkers became tomato cages,” Bailey gives as examples of what members have done with items posted on the forum. “The group’s been a lot of fun.” Before CV Recycle, Bailey had her hand in training facilitators for the international recycling group ‘Freecycle.’ But not for long.
Once the ‘Freecycle’ movement began gaining speed, its owner pulled back from allowing the use of the name in different forums across the world. But the response to the concept, folks posting items they would be turfing anyway for others to use, was so great Bailey came up with Cowichan’s very own group. “It’s based on an open membership network,” she explained. “And it brings together a community of like-minded people where you don’t necessarily want to take everything to the thrift store. Instead you can choose who you want to gift items to.” Besides two volunteer helpers, Bailey, also owner of the online book reuse site Bailey Books, does most of the grunt work moderating the site. And moderation is a must as there are rules and guidelines, including all items must be free, and users must post an adequate description of the item, including a location. She’s also quick to steer away spammers, or those just wanting to use the group to advertise their products for sale. She sees a steady flow of posts on everything from furniture and children’s clothing, to trades on garden tools and supplies and pets up for adoption. The site is ideal for students without a lot of dough and young folks moving out for the first time, people who are moving or downsizing and seniors who aren’t strong
enough to transport large items to their local thrift stores or recycling facilities. “We had a member last month moving to Australia and who was downsizing so he had a free sale at his house,” Bailey said. “He opened his doors to the members of the group to have a look through his house and he was literally down to a couple tables that hadn’t been taken and a couple bed sheets, but most everything was gone. “It’s amazing what can happen with a group like this.” And Bailey and the member moving to Australia were pretty impressed with folk’s tact when combing through items in the house. “There was no ransacking of the house. People were polite and would ask the owner to be sure before taking any items,” Bailey said. Bailey’s hoping to spread the word about her grass roots group as she’s seen a small but not substantial decline in members. Member numbers ebb and flow with residents moving to and from the community, Bailey said, also noting the forum’s linked with other recycle sites in different communities. If you’re an active CV Recycler but are moving, there will be information available on other group’s available in other communities. “It always starts with word of mouth,” she said.

This Black Tie goes good with green accessories QMS: Private school’s need for green sky rockets, earning it a Green Business Black Tie Award Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
Q
ueen Margaret’s School head of school Wilma Jamieson is quick to dish out credits to the folks behind the school’s recent Green Business Black Tie Award win. Jamieson accepted the award at the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce’s ceremony April 13 but was quite humble about her involvement in a whack of green-initiatives the private school is undertaking and looking at for the future. “The students have really been buying into this idea and they’re very keen,” said Jamieson last week. “It’s kind of hard to hold a compost program when the students aren’t interested.” The school’s primary garden program providing herbs and veggies to the school’s kitchen and to Cowichan’s food banks, is just one of a number of environmentallyfriendly programs school staff, students and parents have been involved in. Small steps amount to large strides and that’s the case for
projects such as painting disposal cans with vibrant colours and clear indicators of what goes where. Also on that list are eliminating lunch trays to cut down on washing water consumption, promoting use of recyclable water bottles, using the school’s horse manure to nourish its many flower beds and making manure donations to community groups like Cowichan’s new Kinsmen Youth Urban Farm project. Big picture projects include installing solar panels in one building, converting one of the school’s buses to bio-diesel, constructing the learning centre building to environmental standards, and taking advantage of natural lighting with its building plans as well as with the riding ring, which was built about four years ago. Ashley Degraaf At the forefront of the school’s QMS head of school Wilma Jamieson credits the many students, including Grade 7 students Kyra Gurski and Allie Johnston (pictured), efforts is a senior girls Green Team, who’ve been keen to make the school green and a big reason behind why the school won a Black Tie green business award.

FortisBC supports the environment in both operations and services offered By Tom Loski Earth Day is celebrated annually April 22 with events held across the globe to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. FortisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environmentally responsible way to all of the communities we serve. We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we provide to our customers. One simple way customers can help the environment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests. When customers go paperless, their bill is delivered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural gas bill. Another simple way customers can look at reducing their carbon footprint is through rebates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs. . Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs helped residential, commercial and industrial customers save more than 360,000 gigajoules of natural gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes
13-127.3_Spring_Campaign_10.33x7-PRESS.indd 1
in one year. Renewable natural gas is a B.C.-made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce renewable natural gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giving our customers a renewable energy source.
For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, customers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renewable. We’ll then inject an equivalent amount into our system. To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program. Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet fu-
ture needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paperless billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas furnace — you’re supporting the environment. Tom Loski is the vice president of customer service at FortisBC.
