Another police station option?

Highway patrol says help needed to curb dangers

Report reaction: More highway cops, cameras, fencing could curb Cowichan’s highcrash rates

Leaving the marsh behind? North Cowichan signs potential deal to buy property near the Cowichan Commons Peter W. Rusland

ayor Jon Lefebure won’t say which of two candidate sites he wants for North Cowichan’s new police station. But Lefebure is glad council is hedging its bets with a second possible property on Ford Road, to go along with its current Beverly Street option. Debate is set for Jan. 15 when Lefebure aims to be open-minded. “I have to respect what my fellow councillors have to say, and be clear about what I think; I am very relieved to have another option.” Council has taken heat from locals opposed to pulling the publicly owned 1.78-hectare site on Beverly from B.C.’s agricultural land reserve, then building the cop shop beside eco-sensitive Somenos Marsh. A week after Victoria approved removal of that Beverly parcel from farmland status, councillors announced a conditional offer to buy about three acres of a five-acre property at Ford and Drinkwater roads, across from Cowichan Commons. Assessed value of that whole parcel is $177,400, staff said. The Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society urged council to pick the Ford parcel, not Beverly land beside the wetland. “As the SMWS have stated many times,” president Paul Fletcher’s Friday release says, “we are not against development but we are against development in ecologically sensitive areas such as the marsh margins. “The SMWS applauds the decision to potentially move the RCMP detachment to a more logical site by the Commons, and would hope the change in venue — should it occur — will not open the (Beverly) land to commercialization, high-density housing, or industrial uses as has been suggested in some North Cowichan planning documents.” RCMP brass also gave a preliminary thumbs up to Ford Road, Lefebure noted. “And I’m unaware of any flooding concerns up there. “The key thing is it’s zoned A2, and not in the agricultural land reserve,” Lefebure said of the Ford site he called “a pasture with some cows in it.” “We bought it conditionally, on there being rezoning to allow public use. more on page 7

ore cops, highway cameras, animal fencing, and citizens reporting lawbreakers could help soften stats showing Cowichan’s highways are among B.C.’s least safe, our top highway patrol officer says. RCMP Sgt. Andrew Dentoom admitted he hadn’t seen the recent transport ministry-ICBC study listing crash figures about the risky Victoria to Nanaimo, and Duncan-Lake Cowichan stretches. They’re just two island turnpikes he and his eight busy officers do their best to patrol. But Dentoom sure was familiar with local hotspots cited in the sweeping report. “Historically, Lake Cowichan highway has one of the biggest factors in collisions with animals.” He lamented his lack of officers to more effectively slow motorists, and prevent deaths. “Basically, we don’t have the resources we had many years ago. We go to enforcement; it’s strategic — we look for high-crash areas and do enforcement on causal factors. The big thing is harm reduction.” Boosting roadside check stops in suspected drunk-driving zones is another weapon. “We try and do road checks, or we’ll address speed there.” Dentoom damned distracted drivers too — welcoming folks calling 911 with licence plates of drivers using handheld devices. “In downtown Duncan, it’s cellphones, so we do enforcement. With some things, there’s not a lot we can do, like when deer or elk start crossing the highway.” more on page 7

Annual tax funding for Shawnigan watershed group passes public scrutiny

UP FRONT

Fifty grand a year for watershed and safety studies and initiatives is headed to the Shawnigan Basin Society, pending ﬁnal regional board approval. Results of a recent alternative approval process were handed to the Cowichan Valley Regional District board Wednesday. The AAP gained 152

of 570 ofﬁcial opposition forms needed to force a referendum about Director Bruce Fraser’s motion to gain the society’s annual taxpayer funding, CVRD staff reported. The AAP deadline closed Jan. 6. Response forms from 10% of 5,700 eligible voters in Shawnigan Lake (Area B) were needed

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3

to spark the referendum. The yearly $50,000 will help address environmental and safety issues in the Shawnigan and upper Koksilah basins. That society’s annual purse will cost Shawnigan homeowners about $3 per $100,000 of assessed residential property value.

Ottawa closes Cowichan man’s scientiﬁc legacy Eric Marshall: University ﬁsheries library closed in federal government cost-cutting move

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

erhaps the happiest chapter in Eric Marshall’s life was having a noted fisheries’ research library named in his honour. That story ended with Ottawa’s late fall closure of the Eric Marshall Library, comprising part of the University of Manitoba’s Freshwater Institute. The 15,000-square-foot library’s sudden demise — among a dozen libraries Ottawa shut this fall— shocked Cowichan Bay resident Marshall, 83. He spent 25 years (1962-1992) painstakingly building the globally-respected repository of books, journals, charts, studies, maps and more being scrapped, scavenged and shifted. “I didn’t even hear about it (closure) until a colleague in Sydney (Australia) sent me a clipping from the Winnipeg Free Press, which intimated they just opened the doors and said ‘Come and help yourself.’” Marshall agreed with a colleague’s comparison of the closure to a science-book burning, toasting some materials reaching back to the 1890s.

“It was generally considered the best collection of research materials related to freshwater ecology. Now the federal government decides to close it. “Some things went to University of Manitoba’s science library; others went to the Sidney Institute of Ocean Sciences.” The rub for researchers, he explained, will be delays in finding “priceless” facts and figures from Marshall Library’s materials now scattered across Canada. DFO has just two libraries left: one in Sidney (B.C.); the other in Dartmouth, N.S. “It’ll mean access to old materials, like scientific journals, is gone to other places, and people will have to send emails and ask for materials,” Marshall said. “People at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo are in the same situation. Their stuff has gone to Sidney too.” DFO has an online catalogue indicating where all library data was, he explained. “But it would be a considerable job to redo that; it would be a matter of cataloguing entries of the stuff moved from Winnipeg to Sidney, and the same for the stuff from Nanaimo.” The marine zoologist questioned

DFO responds: In response to an interview request, Ottawa staff at Fisheries and Oceans Canada referred us to its webpage answers to frequently asked questions. • Why is the department consolidating libraries? More Canadians are using electronic sources and the internet for resources and information. In 2011, more than 95% of total user documents were provided digitally by self-service or library-staff virtual assistance. Modernizing our library resources allows easier search and access, no matter clients’ location. • Which libraries will stay open? The department’s 11 libraries will be consolidated into four, including two primary locations: the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, B.C.; and the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, N.S. Two specialized collections are at the Canadian Coast Guard College library in Sydney, N.S., and the capital region’s CCG technical library. • Who uses DFO libraries? Primary users are employees. In 2011/2012, about 86% of requests to library staff came from

Marine zoologist Eric Marshall volunteers at Cowichan Bay’s Estuary Nature Centre. He’s also the namesake of the University of Manitoba’s renowned federal Fisheries library, among ﬁve libraries closed by Ottawa. the logic of the library’s closure. “They’re running down the ability to do effective scientific research, particularly on the bio-

employees. • How do external users currently access library services? In 2011/12, 85% of external requests were received virtually — email, phone and mail. All virtual support services will continue. WAVES, the departmental library catalogue, can be accessed via internet. Consolidating libraries means minimal changes for external users. There will be no changes to the collection’s size or scope. • Is DFO reducing its acquisition/collections budget? No. The collections budget is not affected. 95% of the annual library-acquisition budget expands access to on-line journals and other digital research tools. • Will DFO sell items in its collection? DFO is contacting universities and local partners about interest in acquiring duplicate or non-DFO materials. Some will be offered to on-site staff for workrelated use. About 30,000 DFO-published reports and publications are online. Outstanding items will be digitized if requested. Staff said DFO library consolidations will save taxpayers $400,000 a year.

logical side.” He also feared eco-fallout on fish habitat from scarce, readily available data about oil and gas projects. “Another thing which was very valuable was our collection of research about the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline,” Marshall said of his library’s dispersed data. “It was four feet of shelf space on every little stream. “The government seems to be saying ‘We want to exploit our natural resources, whether it’s natural gas or oil sands, and basically to heck with environmental impacts.’” Fisheries staff told Northern Gateway project owners, Enbridge, it “didn’t have the ability to do a research project on the effects of this line,” he said of lost libraries and DFO staff cuts. DFO’s library at the U of M holds a soft spot in his heart. After working as a freshwater

librarian in the U.K.’s Lake District, then in London, Marshall was handpicked by Canada’s Fisheries brass to start Winnipeg’s facility “from scratch.” He stocked its stacks — also used by pupils, professors and consultants — with published scientific journals from reference lists, subscriptions, research papers (including Ontario’s rescued Experimental Lakes Project), and various recommendations. “Many people from all over the world published scientific journals through the university library — I helped clean up their English.” To Marshall, the library’s demise is a symbol of the agenda of Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. “Harper’s not allowing scientists to speak to the general public. There’s not much I can do. I sent an email to Winnipeg, and got a 10-line reply of bafflegab saying ‘We’re not saying anything.’”

During the minutes spent at the bedside, a professional nurse makes dozens of critical assessments. Any one of them could mean the difference between recovery and something that could result in tragedy. Take direct patient care away from nurses and vital knowledge affecting the health of patients is lost.

B.C. should be increasing the number of nurses, not replacing them with care aides. Ensuring nurses remain in direct contact with patients is crucial to you and your loved ones. While they may not be specialists in jello, when it comes to safe patient care, professional nurses are irreplaceable.

Cyclists ride the Trans-Canada Trail from Glenora Trailhead Park to the Kinsol Trestle during June’s Pedal to the Trestle event. They’ll soon be able to go all the way to Victoria if they want thanks to a federal grant announced Tuesday.

About 85 kilometres down, about 35 left to go Trans-Canada Trail: planners excited about finishing Cowichan’s missing links

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

he path to completing Cowichan’s 120-kilometre stretch of the TransCanada Trail comes courtesy of Ottawa matching cash raised by the TCT Foundation, the regional parks manager applauded. Brian Farquhar cheered Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s news Tuesday — announced on the trail’s historic Kinsol Trestle — federal taxpayers would toss $1 toward the hiking-biking-horse trail for every $2 gained by the foundation. “We have 85.5 kilometres of trail complete. “Now we’re working with Malahat First Nation for a detailed trail alignment and design from the south end of Shawnigan Lake to the Capital Regional District boundary,” he said. Remaining sections, linking

northern Cowichan to Nanaimo Regional District, are also being planned. When completed by 2017 — saluting Canada’s 150th birthday — the 24,000-km coast-to-coast route will be one of the world’s longest recreational trail networks, a foundation release reads. “It will help Canadians enjoy closer connections to some of our country’s most awe-inspiring places. “The trail is expected to generate millions of dollars in economic benefits in the years to come by creating local jobs and supporting the tourism industry.” Cowichan is already enjoying jobs and visits from $10 million worth of trail through The Warm Land, said Farquhar. About $1 million — plus $6.4 million for the trestle’s restoration — came from the Cowichan Valley Regional District coffers. The balance came from public grants and other donors, he explained.

The total 120-km route through Cowichan runs from the top of theMalahat to the Kinsol Trestle, out to the Town of Lake Cowichan on the south side of the river, through Cowichan River Provincial Park. It will then return along the north side on the E&N rail trails connecting to Chemainus, Saltair and Ladysmith to Nanaimo’s regional limits west of Nanaimo airport. Motorized vehicles are banned. The foundation looks to local organizations, like the CVRD and other groups, to dish out dollars so it can leverage federal funds, Farquhar signaled. The CVRD then applies for foundation cash to do trail work spanning bridge building, gravel laying and bush clearing — one length at a time. “As we gain additional dollars, we can pick away on remaing sections of the trail,” said Farquhar. The foundation can be reached at 1-800-465-3636

Second site out of ALR Owners of Fun Paciﬁc Golf Centre also received word this week their 8.8 acres along Beverly Street — just east of North Cowichan’s potential cop-shop plot — had been removed from B.C.’s agricultural land reserve, Mayor Jon Lefebure said. Fun Paciﬁc’s property is zoned for C-4, commercial-recreational use. C-2 zoning allows a hotel, restaurant, driving range and other uses. “There’s nothing to prevent them form moving ahead under current zoning.” It was unclear what the site’s future holds.

New site: highway access, but farther from downtown from page 1

“Rezoning goes through a public process, and council must enter the hearing with an open mind, and listen to everyone. We won’t be buying the property if the rezoning’s not successful. “It’s on the outer limit of where we’d like a station with proximity to downtown Duncan, but still in range.” There’s also transit close by so when Mounties release folks from the station (2,200 last year) they can get home, noted the mayor. There’s also access to the highway. And the marsh site has poor soils “so there’s a significant cost to remove soil and do filling, and those costs would be virtually nil at the Ford Road site.” That deal — or deciding to build on Beverly — would end staff’s eightyear dragnet for a site to replace North Cowichan/ Duncan’s cramped, damp RCMP detachment on Canada Avenue. Besides, council is a signatory of the Somenos Marsh Management Plan, and did include the (Beverly) section identified “so one consideration for council is the (marsh’s) environmental impact.” It’s also the marsh society’s top priority. “SMWS believes it is imperative the recently removed ALR land remain part of the Somenos Marsh Conservation Area and Important Bird Area,” Fletcher says. “The best use of this property is to allow it to remain in its natural state and, where possible, use it and other lands south of the Beverly Street dike to be remediated into effective wetlands and storm-water management properties.”

Medians helped reduce head-ons

Dentoom applauded highway fencing along Highway 19 from Qualicum Beach to Campbell River. “That’s something we don’t have on Hwy 18. In general, in the whole crash picture the municipalities (highways) are by far the worst,” he said of Victoria and Nanaimo. Despite the report, Mill Bay through Cowichan “isn’t too bad.” And the hazardous Malahat has been helped by recent multi-millions in concrete medians, quelling crossover crashes. “Since median (installation) has been up, and more coming, the possibility of head-ons are almost non-existent now,” he said. “The Malahat’s a beautiful drive; it’s still the drivers. “The ministry has helped us incredibly, but now we can’t do a U-turn and go after (scofflaws).” His thinly stretched troopers can use all advantages possible. “We try to do piece work: hit the Malahat then Cassidy, then the West Shore. We hit hard, and try to leave an impression,” he said. “We’re

We need an appropriate place to pull over and not affect the flow of traffic,” he said. More tickets “are always a deterrent and wouldn’t hurt, but more enforcement would be a better idea — and you’d get revenue with twice the impact.” What’s Dentoom’s ideal number of highway

officers? “As many as possible.” The report shows Victoria-Nanaimo has a .56 collision rate, a 90-km speed, divided and undivided areas, 22,000 daily traffic with four percent truck traffic, and 1.09 wildlife hits. VictoriaRenfrew has a .71 collision rate. It sees 13,300 vehicles in average daily traffic. The Duncan to Lake Cowichan’s collision rate is .68 across 28 kms, taking 3,300 vehicles daily. With a 2.06 collision rate, B.C.’s most dangerous span is Anahim Lake to Bella Coola. That undivided, 134-km, two-laner handles just 100 vehicles daily.

Prime minister needs to be man of the people Harper visit: Country needs to know its PM cares

t’s not the fact Stephen Harper completely ignored the 150 protestors standing at the gates of Brentwood College Tuesday. It’s not even that he snuck in a back way, refused to take questions from or even speak to the media, and only seemed to have time for hand-picked supporters; we understand the leader of a country does not and cannot have time for everybody all the time. No, the problem with the prime minister is there are too many people he seems to never have time for at all. We didn’t expect the PM to chat with anti-pipeline placard-wavers. We know most are regular folks — good-hearted people who care about their communiIt’s not only ty and country. But we also know their minds are made up just as much as the the PM’s prime minister’s and the chances of a friends who courteous, thoughtful discourse to alter the direction of our country were slim. should count However, we do expect him to show he respects their concerns, takes them seriously and has done what he can to make sure they are addressed. Harper’s supporters will tell you he has done a fine job steering our country. That may be true if all you care about is our status as an economic enterprise. The books are balanced, the investors happy. But a country is not a corporation, it is the people who live in it. And Stephen Harper needs to understand Canada is not just the majority of citizens who voted him into office. There are millions of Canadians who believe their voices are not heard. And Harper’s approach to those who disagree with him has consistently demonstrated he does not care. We see no concessions, no reaching out, no compromises. Instead, he seems to speak — and listen — only to those who share his views. The rest are left standing outside the gates.

The case for

The importance of the Shawnigan Lake watershed cannot be overstated. And nobody pays more care and attention to the watershed than Shawnigan residents. Elevated residential oversight of the watershed to ofﬁcial status and giving them clout by providing them tax dollars to go with it is the right choice. In fact, it is a decision that is long overdue.

Time to dream other dreams, rail dream is gone Paul Fletcher

News Leader Pictorial

ot to date myself but, as a very young lad, I trainspotted in England. I still harbour hazy memories of standing on the brow of an old stone bridge watching steam trains racing toward me as I tried my best to get the engine number from the front of the train. Seconds later, I was immersed in a cloud as the train steamed noisily under me. The blended scent of coal, steam and creosote has never left my nostrils or my memory. Leaping ahead to 1978 my passion for trains was revived when I scored a job as a head end trainman for CP Rail in the Alberta prairie barrens. Yepper, that was me up in the cab waving to you as we choked level crossings for longer than intended. Nowadays, train whistles and the squeal of metal against metal still sends me free falling back to my railroading past. But my

time-travelling days are less now that only an occasional freight train can be heard in the Cowichan Valley. While freight trains conjure up long trains and endless hours rolling across the prairies, the Duncan freight train of today is nothing but a single engine and a few worn looking railcars that do little to stir past memories. Unfortunately, very little is left of Vancouver Island’s rich railroading history. The main E&N line still exists as does a few spurs, but the rest is gone, overgrown by forest or reclaimed as trails. So are the cars and engines from this era. Apart from a few in museums or left rusting outdoors, the rest have gone to scrap or left Vancouver Island for parts unknown. Diehards continue to argue for the resurrection of passenger rail on the Island. Politicians and bureaucrats have joined the hue and a cry for an alternative transportation corridor to take pressure off at-times congested highways. As with any “Big Idea” that involves govern-

Shawnigan Lake is central to the lives of each and every resident. It is highly unlikely any ofﬁcial committee, or lack thereof is going to affect their commitment to it. It is even less likely that funnelling dedicated tax money to a committee is going to result in any more protection for the lake than what we already have. Instead, we’ll get less accountability and more bureaucracy.

ment, it comes with a cost. Getting the train back on track on the Island now has a well-financed organization, the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF), in the lead. Much money has been spent, many promises have been made, but still no return of passenger train service. The ICF website posts a comment about Via Rail: “There’s an exchange of correspondence… but I cannot qualify whether it will be conclusive. There are negotiations between the two parties.” I ask myself regularly if the idea of passenger trains providing a real alternative to getting people to and from island points is economically viable. I don’t believe it is. I also doubt whether freight trains will replace trucks on the Island Highway as the infrastructure required to do so would be prohibitively expensive. I believe it is time to step back and rethink the whole concept of passenger rail without the population and funding to support it.

I say protect the existing rail corridors and convert them to trails until the time comes when an alternative transportation option can be explored along the corridor. Personally, I believe the recreation aspect of such a corridor would create an exciting new economic driver for communities along the trail. Removing the rails and developing a trail system with supporting amenities would provide badly needed employment and small business opportunities. Then, when the time is right, we could consider ideas such as aerial gondolas whipping along above the corridor trail, allowing both gondolian commuters and trail users to easily share the corridor space. The idea is not new, check out Medillin in Colombia. Paul Fletcher is former Duncan city councillor who writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial.

by Ann Andersen

Chemainus mourned the deaths by drowning of Harvey McInnes, 15, Gordon Cathey, 14, and Takashi Okado, 12. The three boys lost their lives off Bear Point during a duckshooting outing.

Downpour fails to put a damper on golf match News Leader Pictorial

e know. The weather’s so great on the island we can ski, play golf and swim all in the same day. But actual matches? On the golf course? In the first week of January 1923, club members refused to forego their golf, paddled around the course and came back soaked to the skin, reported the Leader. And three matches were played in the tournament for the Dickie Cup. Mrs. A. Easton defeated Mrs. W. B. Harper; Mrs. J. S. Robinson came out winner in her match with Mrs. G. G. Share; and Mrs. C. M. Galt played her way into the final round by defeating Mrs. Robinson. In the Ladies of Koksilah cup competition, A. H. Lomas defeated K. F. Duncan by one stroke. Duncan had to give Lomas nine strokes, a heavy handicap. Meanwhile, in badminton play at Duncan’s Agricultural Hall, the Duncan team downed the visiting South Cowichan club by winning seven of eight matches. Valley newcomer Mrs. Dawson Thomas played here for the first time, losing both her ladies’ and mixed doubles matches. Players, including Capt. G. S. Dobbie, Col. B. A. Rice, L. H. Garnett, Miss Mollie Stewart and Mrs. A. Kennington later enjoyed tea at the host club.

For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!” Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby. Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit. Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can find her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive. When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either find her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world. While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks. Share your thoughts and requests with Alexandra at alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Takizawa provides intimate Musicale experience The ﬁrst Morning Musicale with pianist Sarah Hagen put a person in every seat. Maybe the presence of Marcus Takizawa at the next could repeat that level of interest. Takizawa is a Vancouver-based viola player with a degree from Juilliard, who

performs regularly with the Vancouver Symphony and the Turning Point Ensemble. He also started the experimental electronic project Chordophone which combines classical viola and cello with looping and electronics and will be Hagen’s guest Monday for the latest in the Musicale series.

Promotional material describes Morning Musicale as an intimate, classical concert series being featured on select Monday mornings at the Cowichan Theatre. Tickets are $22, or $20 through Elder College $20. Call 250-748-7529 for ticket information.

Audrey still chewing the scenery after all these years Little Shop: Shawnigan Lake School prop has long history Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

udrey the man-eating plant is much older than she looks. The star of Shawnigan Lake School’s musical-comedy Little Shop Of Horrors is 25 years old, director-choreographer Samantha Currie said of the toothy petunia made by SLS grad John Walton and others. The massive foam-and-fabric puppet — controlled inside by Max Kraumeyer — has been rented to other schools and troupes since SLS first staged Little Shop in 1988. “There’s actually four plants in the show,” Currie said of blood-sucking seedlings, most made in ‘88. “It’s such a gift to have the plants ready to go.” Audrey II’s culmination as a carnivorous carnation (Fanah Msubo does her voice) held the biggest meal of morals to the 26 cast and crew. Little Shop’s singing trio noted three things Audrey II represents: “Stubbornness”, said Ronnette (Danielle Tjia); “Temptation” suggested Crystal (Tai Williams); “Power,” added Chiffon (Hannah Reynolds). Their notions come from the play in which nerdy florist Seymour (Sean Buckley) buys strange little Audrey II as an oddity to boost business at Mr. Mushnik’s (Issac Higgins) shop. Seymour also aims to impress gal pal,

Seymour (Sean Buckley) pulls Mr. Mushnik (Isaac Higgins) from the jaws of man-eating plant Audrey II in Shawnigan Lake School’s black-comedy musical Little Shop Of Horrors. Audrey (Shanti Thurber), who’s abused by sadistic dentist-boyfriend, Orin (Michael Kim). “The plant represents corruption,” said

Germinating Audrey SLS grad John Walton helped design, build and operate the Audrey plants — skills that helped him later land his job as director of global store design with Banana Republic, Gap Inc., in San Francisco. “We built her off the original off-Broadway shop drawings we bought from New York,” he said of the hand sketches. “There was also a giant package of folded templates that came with the instructions. I remember Mr. (Ray) Carr and I lobbying hard for extra money in the budget to purchase the drawings, which I think were around $275; the drama budget was very, very tight. The crew built Audrey I (smallest) and Audrey 4 (the big one) ﬁrst. “Audrey 4 was the most complex requiring many orange, slice-like pieces of poly-foam glued together.” Stitchers and painters used 36 yards of bright pink, stretch terry towel and stretch satin to cover the plants toward the 1988 show in SLS’ old assembly hall. “Working on the production was a highlight of my time at SLS, and to this day remains one of my fondest memories,” Walton said of his prop legacy. “I still recall the feeling every night at curtain call of jumping out of Audrey 4, drenched in sweat (I think I lost about ﬁve to seven pounds every night), feeling the cooler air, and listening to the crowd — truly magical.”

Grade 12er Thurber, “It corrupts the town to a whole new level. People do things they normally wouldn’t; it steals their innocence. Stay true to what you know.” Abigail Igba, cast as Mrs Luce, said Audrey II spells greed as Seymour falls for Audrey. “People can be greedy for power, and that leads to corruption.” ‘Townsperson’ J.C. Smith agreed greed is the plant’s image. “The plant lets Seymour get everything he wishes for, but there are consequences,” she said of the dangerous daisy. ‘Clerk’ Hailey Waldner said Audrey II personifies betrayal. “At the beginning, if you give it blood all your dreams come true, then it turns on Seymour; it shows Audrey II was trying to take over the world by feeding and making more plants.” Lust is what the plant meant to Mrs. Berstein (Aidan Williamson). “It’s the lust for more; Seymour tries to

please Audrey and win her over with power. “The moral is wealth has gotten to American people; it went to their heads.” Still, Currie advised viewers against letting Little Shop’s blood lust steal from its laughs — backed by tunes from music-director Shannon Tyrrell and her stage band. “It’s funny and poignant at the right times,” Currie said. “Everyone loves a bad B movie. “In life, just know the path you’re on is right, and that you don’t have to have anything creepy to make it successful.”

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. Zack Spencer

Visit the Toyota Highlander photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

2014 Toyota Highlander: Prettier in form and function makes it more North American looking. I believe that this is the best-looking Highlander to date and import buyers will take note and a few domestic intenders should too.

CARMEL, CA: The Toyota Highlander is a perfect example of the trend towards crossovers away from traditional SUVs. Before its 2001 introduction, the Toyota SUV of choice was the 4Runner, A very good built off a pickup truck platfamily crossover that Inside The dash is form, providing ruggedness improved with will get the job done much and versatility. more soft-touch materiCrossovers now accomplish every day. als and a large 6.1-inch the same versatility in terms screen in the centre of Zack Spencer of seating, cargo and all the dash on the base LE wheel drive capability but or an 8.0-inch screen on do so with a better on-road drive, thanks all other models, makes operation easy. to a car-based platform.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition. Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

Question

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

Safety Tip:

What do you think is the best special feature available in today’s cars and trucks? Please explain why you have made that decision.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

Secrets of the Chevrolet Camaro . . . it’s a Canuck! One of North America’s favorite pony cars, the Camaro has an interesting past with more than a few buried facts and secrets hid-

ing just below the radar. Here are five of my favorites: 1. The Camaro was almost called the Panther — It

took a while for Chevrolet to come up with a final name for the Camaro. For quite some time it was referred to internally as

the Chevrolet Panther. In end, Chevy’s preference for names beginning with a “C” won out, and the Panther name died as part of an elaborate PR campaign. 2. The Camaro was actually Canadian — like William Shatner and Michael J. Fox, the seemingly All-American Camaro was actually stealth Canadian. From 1993-2002,

the Camaro and its twin, the Pontiac Firebird, were built in St. Thérèse, Quebec, a Montreal suburb. 3. “Camaro” means nothing — The name was actually a contrived moniker, much like “Camry” and “Corolla.” Although some claim that it is French slang for “friend,” neither the GM product people (nor most

Your personal and professional style has earned you

Salesperson of the Month for

French-speakers, for that matter) are aware of this. 4. “Outpaced” the Mustang — Although the Camaro came 2½ years after the Mustang and was often outsold by the Mustang, it has a healthy lead in the Indianapolis 500. The Camaro has been the official pace car at Indy six times, versus just three for the Mustang. Only the Corvette (12) has paced more 500s than the Camaro. 5. Current Base V-6 Puts V-8s of old to shame — Amazing as it may seem, the 2013 base six-cylinder engine, at 323 hp, puts out more ponies than the most powerful small-block V-8 in the original car (295 hp). In fact, it probably makes nearly as much power as the fiercest big block V-8 of

BUTLER, Rance Feb 25th 1939 â€“ Dec 29th 2013

Fishing, hunting and family camping was also a big part of his life, not just a hobby but became a passion and it was because of this he met a circle of people who became lifelong friends and he considered them to be extended family. A member of the Fish â€œnâ€? Game Club for many years also provided the back drop for numerous family gatherings. Survived by his wife of 51 years Helen, daughter Brenda and Rob, son John and Tammy, grandchildren Kristie, Derek, and Kimberly (Luke), Justin and Brett, great grandchildren Anaiyah and Rosalia. Service will be held on Saturday, January 11th at 1:30 PM, at H.W. Wallace Cremation and Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Road.

WEBB, Sonja With family by her side, mom peacefully passed away late Christmas night after several years of illness. Mom was born in Svendborg, Denmark and moved to Canada with her family in 1957 when she was 17. While working at BCFP she met her best friend and future husband Ernie Webb. In 44 years of marriage they raised two daughters, and enjoyed time with their two grandchildren. Mom loved spending time in her garden and greenhouses tending her dahlias and creating beautiful hanging baskets and planters. Mom and Dad had many hobbies they loved to do together, including travelling, shuffleboard, going to the casino and singing Karaoke. Mom is survived by her husband Ernie, daughters Penny (Phil) Parsons, Christa Webb, grandchildren Erika and Aidan Parsons, brothers Poula and Heine Larsen, sister Jytte and many extended family members. Mom had a great love for her family and friends and enjoyed life to the fullest. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Our family would like to thank Rae Marie Nekleva (The Gatehouse Adult Care Ltd) and Jacquie Marsh for helping Mom find her peace. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke foundation in momâ€™s name.

Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Born February 25, 1939 in Victoria where he was raised until he moved to Vancouver to start his career with BC Tel for 38 years. It was there he met his bride-to-be, Helen and settled for the next 49 years in Duncan to raise a family. It was here he became involved with BC Tel First Aid Team and travelled to England to take 2nd in the world and would continue travelling thru the years.

H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Rd. 250-701-0001 ACHESON, Alan Lawrence Sept 17, 1935 â€“ Dec 27, 2013 Alan was born in Vancouver, B.C. to parents Frederic and Mina (Speirs) Acheson. As a boy, Al enjoyed sports and spending time with family and friends â€“ especially summers at a cottage in White Rock. As a young man he worked at the Vancouver Stock Exchange and enjoyed skiing in his spare time. Later in life he enjoyed golf, bridge, curling and all types of social activities. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy to see the world and his first ship was HMCS Sioux. Sailing mainly in the Far East, the ship conducted patrols and Al visited many ports including Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), Okinawa Island, Borneo, Manila, and the Marquesas Islands. In 1958 he married Lois Jeanne Bradshaw of Nelson, B.C. and they had two daughters. Alâ€™s Navy career progressed on land as the family was posted to Abbotsford, Halifax, Victoria, Ottawa, Bermuda, Ladner, Masset, Lahr (Germany), and Penhold. They enjoyed their experiences meeting new people and discovering new places. Lois often boasted of how quickly she could pack up a house and move the family. Al retired in 1978 after 25 years of service, and they chose Red Deer, Alberta as their home. He recently moved back to the West Coast, a place he truly loved. He settled in Duncan, on Vancouver Island near his daughter Lori. Predeceased by his mother, father and wife, Al is survived by daughters Lori (Gord) Hamilton of Cobble Hill, B.C., Tracy (Jack) McClelland of Red Deer, granddaughter Brianne (Richard) Hall of Calgary, grandson Cody McClelland of Red Deer, sister Sandra Hamm of Coquitlam, B.C., and is fondly remembered by extended family and many friends from around the globe. Alanâ€™s life will be remembered through a Burial of Ashes at Sea by the Royal Canadian Navy at a future date.

H.W. Wallace 5285 Polkey Rd. 250-701-0001 DOBBIE, Frederick Raymond Jan 12,1963 - Dec 19, 2013 It is with very sad and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Fred. Fred battled with pancreatitis first and then found out he had bial duct cancer. He battled with these diseases for about a year. He was a fighter, no way was he going to let any of this beat him. He was in full denial right to the bitter end. He had an amazing will to live and that was what kept him alive for so long. A big thank you to all the nurses at St. Maryâ€™s Hospital in Sechelt for your amazing care and compassion for Fred. He felt very comfortable and secure in your hands. He had a soft spot for Katie, Charlene, Karen and Carolyn. He leaves behind to mourn his death, his very special lady and love of his life, Tammy Lind, her dogs Abbey and Wuke, his mom (Anne Suais), siblings (Carol and Doug Dobbie), children (Chelsea and Chuck Dobbie), his very good friend whom stayed in touch with each other every 2 weeks - Frank Manhas. Fred was born in Victoria, BC, but he grew up in DuncanCrofton area. Fred had a few hiccups in his life in which he finally overcame. His greatest passion in his life was being a big rig trucker. He long-hauled for 20 years and then settled down to hauling logs in Sechelt and Chilliwack. He loved his family with all his heart and soul. He was living in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. That was where his heart was and where he was at peace with himself and his life. Fred, there wonâ€™t be a day that goes by that we wonâ€™t think of you and miss you! You are free now Freddie, so fly fly high in the sky! Until we all meet again. We will be having a Celebration of Life for Fred on January 25, 2014, 1-4 p.m. and spreading his ashes in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast in the Summer, date to be announced. Please send online condolences to dobbie.carol@yahoo.ca Please e-mail if you are able to attend. If you have any pictures, please bring along.

Jordan then continued on working at the family business WFO Motorsports and in August 2012 joined the Army Reserves Canadian Scottish Regiment as an infantry soldier. He was an avid motorcycle rider who also enjoyed 4X4ing, hiking, skateboarding, mountain biking, camping and exploring. He had an incredible knowledge of WW11 and weaponry and was in the process of adding a military surplus division to the family business.

Tournament a salute to Caleb Kroffat Play It Forward: No. 10 for the Duncan Winterhawks remembered with a unique format of giving revolving around hockey

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ockey was the unifying force for a postChristmas Play It Forward Peewee C hockey tournament at Fuller Lake Arena. The tournament was held as a tribute to young Caleb Kroffat, who died suddenly Nov. 8. “I just thought it was a great tournament,’’ said Caleb’s dad Jason Kroffat, a speedster during his playing days with the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the B.C. Hockey League. The tournament went far beyond the results, the simple wins and losses or goals for and against. “The tournament was all about giving,’’ said

Heartfelt Thanks From Caleb Kroffat’s Family

Kroffat. “It was nice.’’ One of the great gestures made was a donation given to the SPCA in the name of the players chosen MVPs in each game and in honour of Caleb. “My son Caleb was an animal lover,’’ said Jason Kroffat. “That part was nice. “It was a tournament just for fun and everybody to be together.’’ Baskets were also set up in the arena for members of each team to bring non-perishable food items for the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. The 10 teams that took part included Caleb’s own Cowichan Valley Winterhawks. The Fuller Lake C4 Crushers made the final against an all-girls’ peewee team from Kerry Park that wound up winning it. Other squads from the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo and Victoria participated. There was another great memento given to all the players in the tournament.

Below, Jason Fisher, Keagan Fairbrother, and Dustin Geanson-Davidson of the host Cowichan Valley Storm Peewee C team, with some of the food collected for the food bank. “Every kid in the tournament got a shirt that has a hockey player on the front,’’ said Kroffat. “It says Play It Forward for the tournament.’’ Also on the front was a tribute to Caleb Kroffat No. 10 and below that Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey with the dates Dec. 27 and 28. Volunteers sold 50-50 tickets at every game, with the proceeds going to the Kroffat family. The central theme of giving back to others was embraced by everyone.

Kindergarten Registration

January 27th – 31st, 2014

On November 8, 2013 we suddenly lost our son and twin brother Caleb outside the Island Savings Centre. His death is still being analyzed but we have been given some closure that Caleb passed from a medical heart condition. Since we lost Caleb we have had so much love and support to help us through this difficult time and felt it was necessary to give thanks to the many people who made time in their busy lives to comfort us with open arms. We are thankful to all our family and friends that sent cards, food, phoned us, gave gift cards, cash donations, all the kind words and messages on-line. We were overwhelmed by the fundraising that was done at the November 22 Capitals game by Bonnie Dillabough and Tina Baker, and all the volunteers who helped them. Also greatly appreciated the generous fundraising by Moo’s Pizza and Kyle Hicks. Outpouring donations were made to our family from generous employees and management at the Chemainus Sawmill, Cowichan Minor Hockey, Ryan Clark Memorial Fund and the Cowichan Valley Bottle Depot. Many thanks to all the businesses who donated to the fundraisers and donations made to our family from Drinkwater Elementary School, Cowichan Secondary Dry Grad Committee, Cowichan Valley Jr A Capitals Organization, Lake Cowichan Minor Hockey. Heart felt thanks to the staff at the Island Savings Centre, paramedics and staff at CDH who attended to Caleb. The Cowichan Valley Jr. A Capitals game scheduled on February 28 will be honoring Caleb by hanging his hockey jersey. We would love all who know Caleb to come to this special evening and to watch a great hockey game.

Wes Craig said if someone has the backpack and simply returns it to the front of the curling rink, there will be no questions asked. Meantime, in the D event, no one won and no one lost the final. That’s because Al Swanson and Gerald Poelman decided they were too tired and elected to split the honours. The bonspiel had 24 entries.

he Duncanettes were on The Edge of Glory doing their Lady Gaga tribute during the B.C. and Yukon synchronized skating championships in Surrey Saturday. The girls ended up placing fourth out of five teams in the Juvenile Division with a huge age discrepancy from the others. “It’s a step up for them,’’ said coach Lorraine Francisty. “They hadn’t competed at this level. A lot of the other girls are older.’’ The Duncanettes ranged from nine to 12 years of age. Members of other teams had skaters up to 14, almost 15. “They’re a new team but I had a lot of skaters who were overage so I had to move them up,’’ said Francisty. All the skaters are from Duncan except Fuller Lake’s Nora Goeschick and Emily Vaughan from Lake Cowichan. The Duncanettes scored 21.80 points after skating their routine twice. “They skated well both skates,’’ said Francisty. “The second skate was much better. They just didn’t get the points because of unison.’’ Francisty started the team in September and made all the costumes.

Platinum perfection: Cowichan peewees put on a show at jamboree Don Bodger

he Selkirk Recycling Cowichan Valley Peewee Tier 1 Capitals have been building toward this for a while. The Caps have already achieved considerable success this season but furthered their cause even more by winning the Platinum Tier in the 55th-annual Chilliwack Peewee Hockey Jamboree. The championship game pitted Cowichan against arch-rival Nanaimo in an all-island battle and the Caps prevailed 5-2. Kahlil Fontana had the hot hand offensively with three goals. Corson Hopwo and Luc Wilson each collected a goal and an assist. The tournament also began with an all-island meeting against the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies and the Caps took it 5-1 on

sional at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen. He was the 2012 Professional Golfers’ Association of B.C. Junior Golf Leader of the Year. Hajer will be supported by Jan Best, a PGA of Canada assistant professional. “We’ve already made some renovations to the golf shop,’’ noted Hajer.

the strength of great forechecking from Marcus Steen, Daniel Larson and Owen Easton. Hopwo bagged a couple of goals while Jo Jo Tanaka-Campbell picked up a goal and two assists. Ty Brant recorded an assist and was player of the game for a gritty performance on defence. The Caps kept the goals against down again in the second game and won 4-1 over the Ridge Meadows Rustlers. Wilson notched a pair of goals and added an assist to lead the offense. Kabore Dunn and Brant each had a goal from the back end. Goalie Sacha Rouselle made 21 saves and was named top player of the game for his efforts. Round robin play ended against the Kelowna Rockets. The Caps jumped out to an early lead and eventually defeated the highlyregarded interior squad 6-3. The Caps were outshot

Bill Stockton

Happy group of Cowichan Peewee Capitals’ team members celebrate a successful conclusion to topnotch play at a Chilliwack hockey tournament. 17-2 in the third period, but goalie Will Gurski stood up to the challenge. Three goals and an assist by Cody Shepheard led to his selection as player of the game. Two goals by Tanaka-Campbell and three assists from Hopwo made them forces in the game. The quarterfinal match with the Surrey Thunder brought the Caps a lopsided 9-3 victory. Easton made his presence felt with a goal and two assists for player of the game honours. Wilson fired a hat trick, Cody Stockton was +4 and earned two assists and Fontana tallied two goals and one assist. That win sent the Caps into a semifinal rematch

against Kelowna. The exciting game went back and forth, with the Caps leading by two on goals by Isaac Leik and Easton, before Kelowna came back to tie it and force sudden-death overtime. Nothing was settled and the game went to a shootout for a decision. Shepheard scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Caps the win while Gurski stopped all three shots

he faced and won player of the game honours. The Caps had the leading goaltending tandem of Rouselle and Gurski and winners of the Robbie Tallas award with a combined save percentage of .902 and goals against average of 2.00. Cowichan has much more in store with league play against Victoria Racquet Club and the Nanaimo Clippers before heading to Phoenix for a tournament.

he mood remains upbeat for the Cowichan Thunderbirds’ senior boys basketball team, even though victories are proving elusive. “We’re starting to come around now,’’ said the T-Birds’ Josh Charles. “It’s still tough losing. We know we’re getting better. We’ve just got to start to pick it up a little more.’’ The T-Birds returned from the Christmas break at the St. Michael’s University School tournament and finished sixth after a win and three losses. Cowichan lost its opening game in Pool A of the eight-team event 66-58 to host SMUS despite 26 points from Charles. Travis McDonald added 15. Claremont handed Cowichan a 74-52 loss in the second game of the day. Charles had 18 points and McDonald contributed 14. The final pool game was against Sheldon Williams and Cowichan prevailed 59-42 with Charles scoring 15 and McDonald 13. The playoff round pitted the T-Birds against Lambrick Park and they lost 69-61 despite another 29 points from Charles. Jordy Frost reached double figures with 10. Charles was selected Cowichan’s top player of the tournament. It was a similar story for the T-Birds before Christmas when they finished 1-2 in the Gary Taylor Classic at Oak Bay. Cowichan fell 73-59 to eventual champion M.E.I. and 57-50 to St. Michael’s before beating Lambrick 69-54.

Capsule Comments

raditionally at this time of year our column contains some information about healthy resolutions to make. Rather than listing the common ones (we all know what they are!) it’s good to remind you to set realistic goals, not make too many resolutions and set a deadline to achieve those goals. Writing them down so you can see them every day is another good idea. Good luck! One other suggestion that helps us reach our health goals is to have a friend to support you in your resolve. Friends can be a great help in maintaining your motivation. If you are one of those people who always puts off seeing your doctor for a check-up, do it now. It’s human nature to shrug off a little health problem thinking it will go away soon and you don’t want to bother the doctor about “every little thing” but it could be the start of a big thing. Make that appointment soon.

Get active, get healthy! Sign up your school by January 15th

Another idea that helps your doctor during these check-ups is to be familiar with your family history. Take time to look into what your close relatives’ health was like and what they may have died from. Some diseases are hereditary and knowing your family health history will help your doctor help you.

Pharmacists are a great resource you can use on your path to good health. We’d be happy to help you with your health goals. Have a happy and healthy New Year!
