Cowichan Bay conﬁdent compromise can be made on ﬂoathomes Peter W. Rusland

idding Cowichan Bay of floathome sewage has all stakeholders on the same page. And deciding how to hook all of the bay’s 20-some seaborne abodes to pump-out systems — eventually piping the wastes to the Tzouhalem Sewage Lagoons for treatment — is on deck at the Cowichan Valley Regional District. That’s where the electoral service committee is mulling residents’ concerns, expected to be aired after press time yesterday, toward a new

Attainable: New bylaw expected to create a new zoning for ﬂoathomes, as long as they have proper sewage systems

M4A zone. It would bring floathomes into legal status under the region’s official community plan ordering zero waste-water discharge. “Right now, there are no floathomes allowed in the bay,” said Director Lori Iannidinardo. A consulting engineer’s report, due soon, will help clear the floathome fog. CVRD staff aim to nail down zoning, and the right number of needed sewage-treatment units, to help owners keep the bay’s Cittaslow character and ecological values.

The first step, explained floathomer Julie Salisbury, is amending the CVRD’s draft bylaw currently stating ‘No residential use of floats, piles or vessels of any kind is permitted.’ “If this new bylaw is passed, we will all be displaced from our homes,” an email from Salisbury states. “We’re just not saying ‘Everyone out,’” said Iannidinardo, predicting a floathome zone inside several months. “There’s attainable (floathome) housing in the bay, but it has to be

dignified.” Residents want to hook up, noted Salisbury, “and the CVRD is doing everything to hook us up. Actually, only a small number aren’t hooked up.” She and Iannidinardo were also aware federal and provincial laws now stipulate floathomes must be connected to sewage treatment lines, to keep wastes out of seas and lakes. “We all need to clean up our act,” said Iannidinardo, noting the need for floathome fire safety and other measures, beside sewage-line links. “We need to work toward a way of getting them hooked up.” more on page 4 bchonda.com

Supporters ready to wrap their arms around Somenos Marsh

UP FRONT

A certain portion of the Cowichan population loves Somenos Marsh. In fact, they love it so much they just want to give it a big hug. On Saturday, people concerned with protecting the marsh ecology from the impact of development are being urged to gather at the fringe of the marsh and join hands in a protec-

tive show of support. Sponsored by the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society, Arms Around the Marsh will start from the corner of Beverly Street and the TransCanada Highway at 1 p.m. and spread around the edges of the marsh. “Don’t miss out on this special opportunity to be a part of something bigger,” the event

media release states. “Together we will create a human chain around the marsh showing our community just how many of us care about protecting this important place. Please walk or bike to this event if possible.” The event is part of the WildWings Festival. For more, call 250-884-0749, somenosmarsh@ gmail.com, or wildwingsfestival.com

Nurse gets to the bottom of rare sponge grove Submarine voyage: Local wins unique opportunity to visit undersea ecological treasure

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

uncan nurse Debbie Heys knew nothing about the coast’s ancient, threatened, glass-sponge. That will change today during her first submarine ride to what experts believe are the world’s only glass-sponge reefs. The North Cowichanian is happy to learn about, and raise preservation awareness of, the sponge reef off Passage Island near West Vancouver. “I feel incredibly lucky for this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said licensed practical nurse Heys, picked from some 1,000 contestants for the Canadian Parks & Wilderness Society’s dive. “This pushes the envelope for me as far as things I’d normally not do in my life,” the water lover said. “I’d never even heard of these reefs before so this will expand my awareness about our delicate systems out there; we all need to be more aware of what’s out there and our need to protect it.” A pilot with Nuytco Research Ltd. will dunk Heys and fellow passenger/Juno-winning musician Dan Mangan 300 feet to the beds that are part of a system, including reefs in Hecate Strait. The closest beds to Cowichan sit off Galiano and Mayne islands,” explained the society’s Sabine Jessen. The society’s two days of dives in Howe Sound will also see global explorer Bruce Kirkby, and B.C.’s Minister of Technology Andrew Wilkinson, take the sponge plunge.

“I’ve been working to protect these reefs since about 2001,” Jessen said of the sponge beds said to be about 9,000 years old. The society’s goal is have the fragile reefs protected — from bottom-trawling fishing boats, prawn traps and other threats — by having them included in planned marine-protected areas. “The sponges are extremely brittle, delicate and fragile,” Jessen said. “Even a long line, or something heavy that touches them, will damage them. “There was some research done on them three years ago and we want to check on them; the area still isn’t closed to fishing.” She hoped having Liberal Cabinet minister Wilkinson, and a federal agent, visit the reefs will help prod sponge protection by Victoria and Ottawa under a draft strategy for a coast-wide network of marine protected areas. “I think we’ll get fishing closures on the Strait of Georgia next year — the marine protected areas will take longer,” said Jessen. She foresaw marine protection for sponge reefs in Hecate Straight (between the island and Haida Gwaii) next year. “By calling attention to (the rare reefs), we hope the pressure gets this done.” So does Dr. Manfred Krautter. “Until the reefs in B.C. waters were first discovered in 1987, they were thought to have gone extinct over 40 million years ago,” says a release quoting the paleobiologist from the University of Stuttgart, who has spent decades studying the fossilized reefs in Europe. “Their discovery was like finding a herd of dinosaurs on land.” The brittle, meringue-like, white or yellow sponges sport finger-like

Duncan nurse Debbie Heys won a spot in a submarine exploration dive to explore, and promote government protection of ancient glass-sponge reefs in the Strait of Georgia. protrusions resembling tubes, Jessen explained. “They can form a reef to the height of a five-story building in the Strait of Georgia — new sponges build on top of older ones.” Why do the reefs — that started forming after the last ice age — live here? “We don’t have a complete answer to that,” she replied. “They’re glass, so they build their skeletons from dissolved silica in the water. Our mountains and rocks erode and there’s lots of silica in our rocks in B.C.” Human activity isn’t their only enemy.

“Sedimentation is also a threat because they’re filter feeders, so if there’s too much silt, they die,” she said. “They eat bacteria out of the water, and filter huge amounts of Strait of Georgia water.”

Meanwhile, Heys was stoked about lying in the sub for a look, through big windows, at the glass sponge beds. “Who knows? Maybe I’ll be more determined to try snorkeling, and to explore our coastline.”

Grey water also must be addressed

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

from page 1

Some floathomes boast composting toilets, Salisbury noted of equipment used elsewhere, and slated for debate at the CVRD. Legal connections would be managed by CVRD, ministry and VIHA staff. Cowichan Tribes and CVRD want edible shellfish in the bay by 2020. “It’s not just sewer (water), but grey (bath and kitchen) water too,”

Iannidinardo has stated. Costs of legally connecting to sewage pumpouts, owned by bay marinas, were unknown. Still, it’s worth the money, signalled Salisbury. “People come here to see our floathomes, and visit our Cittaslow community,” she said of the bay’s official ‘slow city’ designation. “We hope the CVRD lets us work with them on (connection) solutions that make sense. Bring it on.”

Andrew Leong/file

Politicians and residents say floathomes have a place in Cowichan Bay if sewage concerns are addressed. Iannidinardo explained the sewage hook-up issue is a sore point among some residents claiming they should continue dumping into the eco-

sensitive bay, despite upper-government rules. “It’s an emotional issue, it’s their home; I get that but, we all have to take responsibility.”

The Lake Cowichan Fire Department — Dick is the former longtime fire chief —is hosting, along with family and friends. The event will feature live music by Jan Matthews In Overdrive, a silent auction and 50/50 draw. All the money raised will go toward Charlie’s family. “He won’t be at work for a long time, and his wife won’t be working for awhile,” said Pohn. “It’s touchand-go. He’s hanging in there, but it’s a very long road ahead.” The fundraising shindig will start

at 4 p.m. with dinner served from 5 to 7 p.m. Organizers are looking for cash donations, silent auction items, or ticket sales. Tickets to the event are $20 and can be purchased from Pohn or Johnson. Johnson can be reached at 250749-6612 or Pohn at 250-709-0564. “The more the merrier, we’re printing tons of tickets,” said Pohn. “We’re not sure how many people to expect but there will be a ton of food. It’s going to be the fundraiser of the year.”

f any community knows a thing or two about stepping up when folks are in need, it’s Lake Cowichan. And, as many residents know, it’s often long-time citizens Anne and Dick Newman at the forefront. This time, however, instead of giving it’s the Newman family on the receiving end. Anne and Dick’s son, Charlie Newman, remains in hospital following an ugly accident on Highway 18 Sept. 18 that killed another man. “Charlie is still in critical but stable condition in ICU at Victoria General Hospital under heavy sedation,” Anne said. “He has made some progress but still has months of hospital time. He is fighting the fight of his life and with the love and support of his friends and family we believe he will make it.” The community is rallying to come up with funds to help Charlie’s family get through his road to recovery. “One of the biggest reasons we’re doing this for them, is they’ve always been the biggest help to the community and now it’s their turn to receive,” said organizer and family friend Darlene Pohn. “When you mention Dick and Anne, they are so well-known in the community you don’t even have to say their last name. Everyone knows them.” Pohn and Laurie Johnson are currently pounding the pavement for a beef dip and beverage fundraiser at the Cowichan Lake

Dragon’s tonight: Bamboo toilet paper pitched Ashley Degraaf

he dragons were just as feisty as expected, Shawnigan Lake’s Brad Kornelson said. That is the big-time investors in CBC’s Dragon’s Den television series on which Kornelson makes an appearance tonight. The episode airs at 8 p.m. on CBC. Kornelson, former fire chief of Shawnigan Lake, and his business partner, Victoria lawyer James Legh faced the five potential investors pitching their treeless, environmentally friendly toilet paper made from bamboo. Their product, Silk’n Soft uses MOSO Bamboo, a renewable grass that’s re‐harvested every three to five years (and don’t worry panda lovers, it’s not the type of bamboo consumed by our cuddly, black-eyed friends). “The bamboo provides a premium product which gives the three-ply

like they are on television,” he said. Kornelson and Legh applied to appear on the Den after seeing an ad for auditions in Victoria. They auditioned at the Hyatt in Victoria in April and waited about four weeks before they received the call they’d been selected to make their pitch. Kornelson also holds a background as a food broker in the Vancouver Island grocery trade. “That’s when I noticed there were only a handful of players,” he said.

That and toilet paper’s one of few consumer products that’s 100 % dependent on was what inspired him. “You break out in a sweat if you run out, right?” quipped Kornelson. He and business partner Legh are also working to roll out paper towel and facial tissue products. And they recently were recognized as product of the year in Canada’s eco-friendly consumer of product innovation category.

Affordable home issue not one we can ignore

Out of the market: People can’t afford to live here

upporters of a pure free market economy will tell you the housing market in any community will always be set by supply and demand. They will also tell you that any attempt to tinker too much with that balance will inevitably end in expensive failure. We say Cowichan needs to try something regardless, because the status quo is not working. The boom of the first decade on this millennium is fading in our rear-view mirrors. But even with the price of your typical starter home coming down between $50,000 and $100,000 Government in the past few years, a significant porhas to help tion of young families are either forced to dedicate an unrealistic portion of people find their income to a mortgage, or are homes priced out of the market entirely. And it is not just young families who are in trouble; seniors on fixed incomes and the working poor are facing similar challenges as they attempt to pay the rent. And then there are the homeless, that unfortunate local club whose membership appears unchanged despite the millions poured into the Warmland House Shelter. The facts are startling: 40% of Cowichan households don’t make a living wage; one in five homeowners spend more than 30% of their income on shelter; more than half of renters are doing the same. We don’t know what the right answers are, but we think it is crucial to find ways to address this situation — be it through subsidies or public housing or development permits that require an affordable housing component, or other, more creative means. But we know something needs to happen and we are glad Social Planning Cowichan has stepped up to the plate.

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

This we like

We loved how Nick Versteeg approached ﬁlming a love letter to Cowichan in his acclaimed ﬁlm Once Upon a Day Cowichan. We also are very conscious of the need to increase public awareness about the necessity to protect the Cowichan River. That’s why we applaud the decision to hire Versteeg to tell the river’s story. We hope it has an impact.

Why not a Commons that is better for Cowichan? Robert Douglas

News Leader Pictorial

ive years ago we welcomed the official opening of the Cowichan Commons, a 500,000-square-foot shopping centre anchored by a number of big-box stores – including a massive Wal-Mart “supercentre” that holds the distinction of being one of the largest in B.C. Most of us shop at the Cowichan Commons and its chain stores. In many cases we have little choice, as these are the only places where you can find certain products. But ever since plans to develop the 42-acre property in North Cowichan were first announced years ago, many of us have wondered if better options were available. Did we have to build a shopping centre made up of mostly foreign-owned big-box stores and other retail chains? And did it have to be so far from downtown Duncan

— the small business hub of the Cowichan region? The recent announcement that a local food co-op in the Kootenays will be leading a major commercial and residential development in downtown Nelson has left many of us wondering what could have been. The Kootenay Food Co-op is a memberowned co-operative started in the 1970s. It sells natural and organic foods. Its present store is almost 5,000 square feet, and annual sales exceed $6 million. The co-op is very popular with locals, and with growing demand has plans underway to develop a larger retail space. Last year, it purchased an old supermarket in downtown Nelson, which it will be tear down and re-develop as a mixed-use commercial and residential space called the Nelson Commons. The Nelson Commons will occupy nearly an entire city block and include 54 residential units, six to eight local businesses as commer-

The continued buck passing and apologizing on the Youbou dust situation is appalling. The province has, within its power, the ability to tell the truck loggers to eliminate the problem or be banned from using Youbou’s main road. The government has played nice for a decade; the time is now to end this ridiculous imposition on Youbou residents once and for all.

cial tenants, underground parking, advanced green building and other features. In keeping true to its name, the Nelson Commons will also include a shared public space for the wider community, where children can play, and adults can socialize, drink coffee and listen to music. And rather than hiring an out-of-town developer, the food co-op formed its own development company and brought in a project manager to lead the construction. Any profits made on the $27-million project will go back to the co-op and its membership. Imagine for a moment instead of building the Cowichan Commons and all its big-box stores, we had developed a commercial space more along the lines of the Nelson Commons: a multi-story structure in downtown Duncan, with mixed commercial and residential space housing local businesses

including a member-owned co-op food store bigger than our Wal-Mart “supercentre” and a shared public space for the community to gather. We certainly can’t tear down the Cowichan Commons and start over. But what we can do is make sure any future commercial development in the Cowichan Valley does a much better job of encouraging mixed-use development, supporting local business ownership and creating a vibrant downtown core. We had options. Next time let’s pick a better one. Rob Douglas is President of the Cowichan Valley NDP Constituency Association.

YOUR TURN

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 9

Is Cowichan’s government doing enough to provide affordable housing? “No. They should do more. Housing through Habitat is wonderful. Victoria bought portables from the Olympics for affordable housing. They also bought some (former) Traveller’s Inns and converted them into apartments.”

“Frankly, no. The prices of housing are excessive.”

Ever given much thought to insuring your best friend?

The best policy? Some local families saying health insurance for pets a great idea

Remi. “We got our pet insurance when we got Remi as a puppy,” Phillips explained. “A family friend encouraged us to get the insurance, and because we live on a farm where there are so many things she could get into we decided to get it right away.” The Phillips live on Herd Road. They purchased their insurance, called Trupanion, through their vet in Mill Bay as they had also recommended it for Remi. Each month the Phillips fork out $46.66 to cover about 90% after deductible of Remi’s vet bills, Phillips explained. “You decide what the deductible is when you sign up, and that determines what you will pay each

And so far, the insurance has already paid off quite well. “It has been extremely beneficial for us,” said Phillips. “When Remi was one, she had to have surgery for double elbow displacia which would have cost us over $3,000 without our insurance. It still was pricey as we had to pay our deductible and 10% of the bill, but it was well worth it.” Pet insurance isn’t always cut and dried. “We tried about three years ago when our dogs were three and four,” said dog owner Kathleen Neilson. “I can’t remember the company but we were declined because of our dog’s

If it’s available, it’s worth it though, said Phillips. “I don’t know what we would have done without our insurance,” she said. “I would highly recommend pet insurance, as you don’t know what might come up.

Cowichan moms making business their business Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

ompreneur. That’s right. This is actually a term now being used to describe moms starting their own businesses. The quirky label may just be the result of what seems to be a trend of more moms following their passions and dreams and creating their own home-based businesses after they’ve become parents. Two local moms and sisters fall into this category. Masika Allan not only started Masika May Photography, but also Pretty Frilly Things (home-made headbands and accessories for newborns and tots), after she became a mother. She’s also a makeup artist. Meanwhile, older sister Fawn Townsend, who’s also a hairstylist and a mother, recently established shabby chic-inspired Not Too Shabby Home Decor. Both sisters agree starting their own businesses felt natural. They don’t consider their businesses work, and have agreed the biggest perk is setting their own schedules. “I had no idea my photography would take off the way it has but I’m incredibly grateful it did,” said Allan, who’s won awards and has had several photos published in magazines. She was nominated this year for a Black Tie. “I finally feel like I’m doing what I was meant to do and my ‘job’ does not feel like work at all. I have met so many amazing people and learned so many new things.” Townsend agreed. “My family comes first and foremost, and my work, if you can call doing some-

thing you love work, comes after,” the mother to four-year-old Crue explained. “I like to include my son in my work with me whenever possible. He actually helps me paint quite a bit. We also enjoy doing art projects together, reading books, going to the park, baking etc.” Allan was 27 when she first started shooting professionally in September 2011. Her kids, Keaton and Kienna were 30 and 16 months old then. “I knew it would have to be all about balance,” she said. “I cut back on my makeup work and crafting to fit the photography in, and made sure I still had lots of time for my family.” Allan said her schedule’s evolved from when she started taking clients, too many clients in fact, to now where she’s set specific shooting days. “I would say my schedule is more organized now than when I started. At first I would schedule sessions whenever worked best for my client which usually meant I would run around having to find sitters at all different times of the day and week. I now have my children in daycare Mondays and Fridays and shoot sessions then, as well as on Sunday mornings when I have childcare set up with a

family member.” Allan’s photo editing is done at night when her children are snoozing. Her biggest challenge thus far has been learning when to say ‘No.’ “Having three businesses, two children, and a partner who works away makes for some busy times so it’s important I keep balance in my life as well as some time for myself.” She does this by heading to the beach or park when it’s nice outside, “but for rainy days our favourite things to do are baking treats, making art projects or heading to a friend’s house for a play date.”

Townsend also ran into scheduling wrinkles, but like her sister, has smoothed out her day-to-day with Crue attending pre-school while she designs and paints. She also works when he’s sleeping. Like two peas in a pod, Townsend’s business is also taking off. “My business has grown more than I could have hoped for,” she said. “I have added more sizes of signs since the beginning as well as developed better techniques and purchased new equipment to offer more variety of styles.” more on page 15

Program helps kids get Jump start Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

he benefits to kids in sports are endless, but the more obvious ones are better health, wellbeing and social networks. “Organized sport can help children grow, giving them a sense of achievement while building teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, decisionmaking, and communications skills,” states Stats Canada’s website. “Sports also enables children to channel their energy, competitiveness and aggression in socially beneficial ways.” Unfortunately, not all folks can afford to enroll their children in programs. Recent Vision Critical 2011 statistics summed one in three Canadian families cannot afford to place their children in activities. Thankfully there’s a national program helping get kids into

the sports scene. Canadian Tire Jumpstart and its network of 332 local chapters is dedicated to removing barriers so children can participate. Each chapter, including Cowichan’s, is volunteer-based and includes representatives from Canadian Tire stores, Canadian Tire dealers and petroleum agents, a variety of non-profit organizations and charities, and community leaders. Collectively, they work with more than 2,500 organizations across Canada (including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and YMCA-YWCA) to discreetly identify financially disadvantaged children that might benefit from the program. In Cowichan, Denise Williams is the leading lady in charge of applications. “We get our funds from donations from the community, the Canadian Tire and Sport Chek stores,” said Williams.

“We get a base amount from the corporate side, but the rest is dependent and based on local donations. “Ever since Sport Chek came on board, we’ve seen donations increase, which is really exciting. That means we can help more kids with more money.” Applications for assistance can be submitted from Jan. 15 to June 1 for spring/summer programs, and from July 1 to Nov. 1 for fall/winter programs. The program is based on family income (which varies depending on how many members are in the family). Sports programs up for grabs must take place over five weeks, and have included everything from hockey and ballet to Scouts and fencing, Williams said. Any families interested in applying can contact Williams at 250-746-0417 or email dwilliams@cvrd.bc.ca to see if they qualify.

Moon and back signs used for a hospital fundraiser

She recently teamed with the fundraiser Jesse’s Gift with proceeds going to the neo-natal unit in Nanaimo Hospital.

Half the proceeds of her vintage wooden ‘I Love You To The Moon And Back’ signs went to the fundraiser.

Notice of Assistance Notice is given that the North Cowichan Municipal Council intends to provide assistance to the Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce, in the form of a loan guarantee of $400,000, so that the Chamber can build a new tourist information centre at 2896 Drinkwater Road. Notice of this proposal was previously published on November 23 and Nov 30, 2011 of the nature and extent of the assistance. The term of the assistance will be up to one-year to guarantee payment of a construction loan. Following completion of construction, it is anticipated that the construction loan will be converted to long term borrowing. Thereafter, the loan guarantee could, with elector approval, apply to the long term borrowing for a further period not to exceed 35-years.

They recently welcomed baby Colby Alexander into their lives 10 weeks ago. What’s your strategy for balancing work and family? We are lucky enough to work in a family business so

we get to bring baby with us to work. Tell us about a big parenting challenge you faced and how you solved it. We are new parents, so we’re learning new things everyday and taking one step at a time. What’s your go-to activity for keeping the kid(s) occupied? Right now we’re fortunate our baby is a great sleeper and spends most of the day and night sleeping. Name a local resource every parent needs to know about. Every parent should visit Matraea Centre. It offers so many amazing pre- and post-natal classes and has a wonderful store with everything you need for baby. What do you do to make time for yourself? I let Colby and his dad have alone time every morning so I can do chores, have a shower or a sleep-in. The best advice another parent ever gave you. Cherish every moment as they grow so fast.

Thrifty customers are asked to buy a bag of rice for the Harvest House food bank. Thrifty Foods subsidizes the rice purchased and this subsidy goes to International Hunger Relief Projects. Last year’s project raised 1,040 kg of rice locally and $7,231.95 for International Hunger Relief. • A tip of the hat to Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue deputy chief Cam Ferguson and Cathy King who walked five kilometres in turnout gear and breathing oxygen tanks in the firstannual Safeway Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Sept. 28.

Harvest some purely Canadian folk Folk fans can celebrate the harvest with some whole-grain folk. The Wheat in the Barley — described as one of western Canada’s hottest instrumental groups— is in Duncan this weekend as part of a Thanksgiving tour of the north end of Vancouver Island.

“The Wheat in the Barley ﬁrst turned heads with an exotic brew of high-energy instrumentals drawing on traditions mainly from the fertile ground of Celtic and Slavic cultures,” a show media release states. “Years of intense musical creativity through hundreds of sizzling shows have since forged them into a hot Canadian

roots fusion band, building their uniquely Canadian sound on a rich multicultural foundation.’’ The band plays the Duncan Garage Showroom Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 at the door. For more information, call 250-748-7246.

enor John McDermott’s wry Scots humour pokes through the phone line while describing his Looking Back 20th-anniversary tour. “I thought of calling it 20 Shades of Grey,” the benevolent crooner says from his home on Georgian Bay. His continental tour starts in the Cowichan Theatre Saturday. The globally acclaimed singer, and backing duo — guitarist Jason Fowler, and lap steel/ percusisonist/guitarist Christine Bougie — will serenade fans with a retrospective roster stretching back to when McDermott went pro with signature song Danny Boy. “I’m certainly not just going to do new stuff,” he said while walking his dogs, who flushed out a porcupine. “It’s an intimate, casual evening; no loud banging this time around. “I’ll take a few suggestions from the audience; it’s a walk down memory lane, a mix of old and new. “I’ve had 20 great years because of great audiences so let’s give back to the audience.” He’s also thanking fans with a Looking Back compilation, box-set of CDs, DVDs, and book of fan stories. “We asked everyone to send us John McDermott stories and we got tons.” Some disc footage chronicles his travels with famed singer Nana Mouskouri who gave the Glasgow lad some of his most cherished memories. “Seems it all happened on the West Coast,” he said of good vibes in Victoria in September 2003. “Nana Mouskouri was rehearsing for her world tour in Vic and learned Harry Belefonte couldn’t make it so they asked me to fill in. “Really? When you think of Harry Belefonte, you think of John McDermott,” he modestly chuckled. But his finale with the Greek diva was no joke. “We closed in Athens in Herodes Atticus sitting to the right was the Acropolis; I was just

gobsmacked — 7,000 people, and fantastic acoustics because it’s all marble,” he said of the ancient ruins. Twenty-nine recordings later, McDermott, 58, gives back big-time to loyal listeners — and charities dear to him, especially help for veterans. Website proceeds from his CD Music In The Key Of Giving — sporting McDermott and the Vancouver Symphony — help support Toronto’s McDermott House (visit mcdermotthousecanada.org). Remembrance Day will see him interviewed on old friend Conrad Black’s show. “I’ll be talking about McDermott House,” he said of the foundation aiming to renovate and expand the palliative-care K wing at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre. Charitable bids will also be accepted in Duncan for McDermott’s tartan-collage jacket. McDermott — who founded the Irish Tenors — also helped veterans foundations last year in Boston and Washington D.C. His idea is addressing PTSD among veterans after McDermott’s family was affected by wars. “I had two cousins killed in Vietnam, my dad (Peter) was a tail gunner in the RAF, and my uncle Michael was a Gordon Highlander who died at the bridge on the River Kwai.” Next year could see McDermott return to Cowichan, and other communities, to fundraise for local hospices, veterans’ facilities, and other needs. “Hospice care is one of the most important issues we have right now. It’s volunteer work, and it’s just not easy.” So McDermott helps by paving palliative-care paths. “It’s great to give back to Canada and the veterans community,” he said, saluting his parents who immgrated here from Scotland in ‘65 with 12 kids. “Canada’s the greatest country in the world.” Your ticket What: John McDermott’s Looking Back 20th-Anniversary Tour When: Oct. 19, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $47.50.

MILLS, Eunice Claire (nee Rae) Born April 29, 1924, died peacefully surrounded by her children on September 17, 2013 in the Duncan hospital after suffering a massive stroke. She leaves behind her daughters Shelley Prelusky (Allen) and Laurie Reilly (Bob) and her son Mark (Christine); grandchildren David, Stefanie, Nathan, Nick, Danika, Jenna, Brian and Aran. Predeceased by her husband Ronald in 1994, her oldest daughter Darlene Steele in 1995, and her remaining siblings Harold, Merlin, Vaughn, Eileen and Walter. Eunice was one of six children born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, raised in the Prairie Depression and migrated to Victoria in 1944. Although having a nursing background, Eunice decided to help the war effort out and became a welder at the VMD in Victoria, welding merchant ships for the duration of the war. She met her husband Ronald Mills who had just returned from serving for his country in Europe. They moved to Thetis Island where Eunice helped pioneer the tiny Gulf Island. She peeled power poles, helped build her house, became the janitor for the one room school house and whatever else was needed of her. Ron and Eunice raised four children there and in 1980, moved to Chemainus. She will be remembered for riding her scooter around Chemainus until she was 80 and her generosity, from helping at the Chemainus Bingo Hall, baking matrimonial cakes and making cushions to growing tomatoes for her neighbours in the Channel View Estates subdivision. A special thanks goes out to Dr. Manhas and the nurses and caregivers on the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor at the Duncan hospital. You gave our mom the best care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the dignity and respect she deserved in her ďŹ nal days. We truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although a ďŹ&#x201A;owerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life may end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty will never be forgottenâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet freedom whispered in my ear. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a butterďŹ&#x201A;y and butterďŹ&#x201A;ies are free to ďŹ&#x201A;y. Fly away, high away, bye byeâ&#x20AC;? You will be missed, never ever forgotten. A Celebration of Euniceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held on Sunday, October 20th at 1:00 p.m. at the Chemainus Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drop-In Centre, 9824 Willow St., Chemainus, B.C.

HEBERS, Neeltje Josina (Nell) June 13, 1921 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oct 08, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Nell at Cairnsmore Nursing Home, Duncan on Tuesday October 8th 2013. Born in Abcoude, Holland on June 13th 1921 she spent the last 55 years in the Cowichan Valley. Nell is survived by her brother Nick and will be greatly missed by her son Rene and his wife Mary, grand children Liz (Mike), James, Amanda (Steve), Great Grandchildren Allison and Eric, and numerous nieces and nephews. There will be a celebration of her life at Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Road, Duncan on Saturday 19th October at 11am.

Kuchirka, Margaret Ruth Ruth slipped away from us Saturday, September 21, 2013 at the Kiwanis Lodge in Nanaimo, age 88. Born January 25, 1925 in Montreal to Herbert and Isabella Sudds (nee Oliver) she was a middle child of 9 children, all of whom she survived. Ruth worked at the Queen Alexandria Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitals in Victoria, and for many years at the Cedar Inn in Youbou. Her volunteer work was remarkable. She was a Sunday School teacher, a Girl Guide leader and a member of the hospital auxiliary but the volunteer work dearest to her heart was with the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary at Branch 53 in Duncan and Branch 210 in Lake Cowichan for which she was awarded a Life Membership. She was a Past President who made many friends there and worked countless hours in the kitchen catering and on the poppy campaign. She loved crafts, particularly to crochet and work with flowers, and she loved a good game of Bingo. In her younger years in Youbou her family dinners were legendary. She loved children and was always caring for some - either her own grandchildren or babysitting othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Happy go lucky at heart and always laughing, telling a joke, or singing, Ruth will be remembered for her generosity and willingness to help anyone she came upon. She is survived by her daughter, Olena, son-in-law Scott McCallum, granddaughters Nicole, with great-granddaughter Sophie, and Vanessa, with grand son-in-law Geoff Kee, â&#x20AC;&#x153;adoptedâ&#x20AC;? grandsons Sean and Jason Powell and their families, Olenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Father Mike Kuchirka, best friend forever Edie Wort, and many friends and extended family. She was predeceased by her son, John Hatfield, who lived forever in her heart. The family sincerely thanks everyone at Kiwanis House for the loving assistance provided to Ruth during the 9 years she resided there and to the staff at Kiwanis Lodge for the beyond excellent care and devotion shown to her during her final days there. Thanks also to Dr. Miguel Pereira for his attention, expertise, and care. The kindness shown by all of you is appreciated more than they can say. A memorial tea and Legion Remembrance Service will be held Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 2:00 pm in the Duncan United Church Hall, 246 Ingram Street, Duncan. Please bring your memories and a good laughâ&#x20AC;ŚRuth would want it that way. As she was fond of saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say goodbye. Say, so longâ&#x20AC;Śuntil we meet again.â&#x20AC;?

HOLMES, David John 1938 - 2013 David Holmes, of Duncan, British Columbia passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 3, 2013 in the Cowichan District Hospital. Born in Monmouthshire, Wales, UK, December 31, 1938, to Ivor Percy Holmes and Phyllis Higgins, David was a loving father, and grandfather. He was also an acclaimed director, actor, and educator. He completed his studies in Theatre, English, and Psychology at the University of Wales and the University of Victoria. His passion for the performing arts, particularly theatre, led him to be involved with the Cowichan Music Society, the Mercury Theatre, the Vagabond Theatre Company, and numerous other theatre companies. David was happiest when he was either on the stage, directing a production, entertaining friends and family, or spending time with his grandchildren who he loved dearly. David is survived by his daughters Sarah (Geoffrey), Rachel (Adam), Katherine (Dave); and his grandchildren Colin, Ryan, and Julian. He will be greatly missed by Eric Marlin, Laura Cardriver, Betty MacFarlane, Cas Coote, Merrie Broadway, Alison Holmes, and Georgie Weeks Heyd. Please join us in a celebration of Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at 1:30 am October 19th, 2013 at the Mercury Theatre, in Duncan, BC. The family would like to thank the staff at the Cancer Clinic at Jubilee along with Drs. David and Andrew Atwell for their care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A.A.Milne SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212 IRVING, John R Sept. 9, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oct. 7, 2013 John passed away peacefully on October 7 in Chemainus, British Columbia. He was 93, the last survivor of a large Calgary family of 5 girls and 3 boys. He is survived by his childhood sweetheart and loving wife of 67 years, Trudy (Gertrude Macmillan), and children Joan (Jim), Kathy (Rob), Barbara (Tim), John (Mary) and Doug (Wendy) as well as 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. John graduated from Western Canada High School, Calgary, and attended the University of Washington but left in 1942 to join the Royal Canadian Navy. He served on a mine sweeper and a destroyer, and was aboard ship in Northern Ireland when World War II ended. His naval career was the start of a lifelong love of boating and coastal exploration. John co-founded and -managed successful businesses in Calgary and later on Vancouver Island, where he and Trudy moved their young family in 1967. After an early retirement, he took up painting, working first in oils and later in watercolours. He befriended mural painters and totem pole sculptors, among others young and old. Known for his generosity and openness to strangers, John volunteered for many organizations. He especially enjoyed his years as a Cub leader but was also active in the Rotary Club (Calgary), Naval Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of Vancouver Island, the Chemainus Sketch Club, and Chemainus United Church, which he attended for more than 40 years. It is at this church on October 19 at 2:00 pm that the family will welcome friends to celebrate Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory and sing a song for a life well lived. In lieu of flowers, you are invited to make a donation to the Salvation Army or the charity of your choice. Trudy and the rest of the family wish to thank the caring staff at the Chemainus Health Care Centre for their smiles and gentle attentiveness with John. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES
