Iconic cross sitting on precarious perch Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
A
Cowichan Valley icon is in need of a makeover. So says Leona DeOliveira, a local who hiked to the cross on Mt. Tzouhalem Tuesday and saw it is in need of repair. “The welds that you can see at the base are broken, including the weld to the gusset that provides security,” she posted on The Cowichan News Leader Pictorial’s Facebook page. “Also, the concrete that has been put over the metal pad that holds everything down is cracking and coming off. Long story short, the cross is currently incredibly unstable and it’s just a matter of time before it comes off. My concern is for public safety; many people visit that spot and currently it is a safety risk. If anyone were to play on it or try to hang off of it – it could possibly just let go.” The concerned citizen called the Municipality of North Cowichan to report the problem and was told staff would look into it. Ernie Mansueti, director of North Cowichan’s Parks and Recreation, said his office got another report about the cross’ status a couple of weeks ago and contacted the Nature Conservancy of Canada, which owns the land the cross is on. “The land around the cross is managed by the North Cowichan forestry department,” Mansueti said, “and that’s where some of the confusion comes in.” Lesley Neilson, communications manager for the NCC said, “It’s funny that’s come up now,” given there’s a crew that is scheduled to inspect the whole 101-acre property in early November. “We take public safety concerns seriously; if there are any concerns, we’ll address them,” Neilson said. As to whose decision it would be as to whether the cross should come down, and who would pay for it if it was replaced, Neilson said any structures on the property, purchased from former owner David Chase in 2009, are the NCC’s responsibility. The communications manager said Chase owned the property for half a century, cared for it like a park and wanted the land kept in its natural state. She emphasized it was hard to second guess what the organization would do, given that it hasn’t assessed the cross. “At the same time, the cross is a cultural, community icon...our practice is to engage in partnerships that are meaningful for everyone; this could be one of those situations,” Neilson said. A wooden cross, which sits on the southeast corner of the Chase Woods Nature Preserve, was placed there by local Catholic churches in the 1970s, and replaced by the Knights of Columbus with a welded metal version in the late 1980s.

Dakova Square may reshape city corner
Five-storey residential-commercial building heads to public zoningamendment hearing Oct. 20 Peter Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
The face of downtown Duncan could change dramatically if plans for a five-storey building at Canada Avenue and Trunk Road earn council’s nod. A rezoning hearing for the approximately $11-million Dakova Square residential-commercial project is set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20. Renderings of the 36-unit structure — sporting some 10,000 square feet of groundfloor commercial space — at 15 Canada Ave. had Alberta developer Vlado Bricic excited. However, Janet Martinez, co-owner of
adjacent Excellent Frameworks, was dubious about the Dakova complementing the longvacant site opposite Hoey Park cenotaph. “We have a unique design; fairly modern,” Bracic told the News Leader Pictorial Wednesday. “We’ve done our due diligence and determined this is a good investment. Once people see what we’re planning, they’ll be impressed.” Martinez may be a hard sell. “We have some nice new buildings downtown — including the VIU building — that are green (environmentally), and we should be continuing along those lines rather than going backward to big, old, block buildings,” she said of the Dakova. Bracic noted the street scape of his 42,000-square-foot building — on the site his firm aims to buy from local owner Bruce Stott, given zoning changes and other conditions — will offer trees, planter boxes, and
totem pole-like wooden pillars. But Martinez cited design guidelines in the city’s Plan of Action 2002: Revitalizing Duncan’s Downtown Neighbourhood. That document’s Quality Architecture and Urban Design section states “an emphasis on beauty, esthetics, human comfort, and the special placement of civic uses, and sites within a community all serve to create a dynamic sense of place.” “Human-scale architecture and beautiful surroundings nourish the spirit.” Martinez wanted those ideas applied to the Dakova, and other projects. “It would be nice to have a panel of people, like (2002 Plan co-author) David Coulson and others, who’ve done city planning and built beautiful buildings,” she said, questioning city hall’s credentials for planning pleasing buildings. more on page 5

Traffic crawls along the Trans-Canada Highway in Duncan. The province is developing a 10-year plan that includes the highway corridor.
Mapping our transportation future
More than just cars: Bigpicture planning underway Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Cowichan Valley’s pressing transportation needs were the subject of a meeting between local leaders and the Ministry of Transportation’s Parliamentary Secretary recently. Last month, Jordan Sturdy met with the valley’s elected officials, First Nations and other community leaders, including local chambers of commerce and port and airport authorities, for help in developing a 10-year provincial transportation plan. The ministry is identifying short-, medium- and long-term priorities. “The purpose of these meetings is to hear local ideas and understand local opportunities that could help shape future improvements to community transportation infrastructure on Vancouver Island,” Sturdy said. In his meetings with more than 70 groups, priorities — reducing congestion in key corridors, improving transportation connec-
tions between communities, adding cycling infrastructure for commuters and tourists, continued improvement to sea ports and airports and the importance of ferries — were discussed. Sturdy also heard about the important role transportation plays in supporting tourism and economic development and in building healthy sustainable and vibrant communities on the island. Duncan Mayor Phil Kent, who attended a 90-minute meeting, along with the mayors of North Cowichan, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo, and Ladysmith said Sturdy was all ears. “He was good at listening to what we brought to the table,” Kent said. One of the documents Kent gave to Sturdy was Stantec’s: Trans Canada Highway-Corridor Management Plan: Boys Road to Beverly. (See accompanying story.) Peter de Verteuil, Duncan’s chief administrative officer, said Duncan council is expected to discuss the report at an October council meeting. Some of the major issues discussed in Kent’s session included: safety issues, rail, the Trans-Canada Highway Corridor Management Plan, fast and slow ferries, wildlife on highways, and economic drivers.
“They were pretty clear they wanted to identify some short-term things to do,” Kent said, in making good on the provincial government’s commitment in a previous throne speech. Graham Bruce, chief operating officer of the rail-based Island Corridor Foundation, also met with Sturdy, at another table, with First Nations and airport and port authority representatives. Bruce said no single issue stood out at his meeting, adding during the past four years, there’s been lots to celebrate on Vancouver Island: improvements at the Comox, Nanaimo and Victoria airports, and at sea plane terminals. “The consultation is about more than just highways,” Bruce said. “It’s very much a co-operative effort; we’ve asked government to take the lead. Through the discussions, they’re learning how they can tie things together and impact the varying communities.” “It was a pleasure to connect with community leaders up and down Vancouver Island and hear their ideas first hand,” Sturdy said. “Their input was well-thought-out and will certainly help inform our work as we shape a new 10-year transportation plan for the province.”
Highway corridor at heart of ministry plan
Kathy Santini
News Leader Pictorial
A
n updated plan outlining priorities for the section of the Trans-Canada Highway running through the Municipality of North Cowichan and the City of Duncan is expected to go to both councils this month. The Trans Canada Highway-Corridor Management Plan: Boys Road to Beverly Street, was one of a number of documents Duncan Mayor Phil Kent gave to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s parliamentary secretary at a meeting earlier last month, as the ministry gathers information for its 10-year transportation plan. The 89-page report, written by Stantec Consulting Ltd., said the last Corridor Management Plan was developed nearly 10 years ago and an updated review of the corridor is due. “This CMP endeavours to provide an update in the form of a review of these previous reports and combine the findings with input from local corridor users to develop a CMP that is achievable and makes sense,” the report says. The recommendations are based on the corridor objectives that resulted from the consultations: • Safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists along the corridor
• Traffic congestion for local traffic and truck traffic travelling through North Cowichan and the City of Duncan between Nanaimo and Victoria • Accessibility for emergency services • Sustainability of local business and economy • Affordability of future infrastructure projects A summary of the primary recommended infrastructure improvement projects are: • Upgrade pedestrian indicators at signal intersections to include count-downs. • Extend the sidewalk and add curb, gutter, and a boulevard on the west side of the TCH from James Street/York Road to Beverly Street. • Construct a multi-use pathway along the east side of the TCH between Boys Road and Beverly Street complete with curb, gutter, and boulevard where feasible. • Construct attractive and functional gateways near Boys Road and Beverly Street to welcome people to the urban area and prevent unsafe pedestrian crossings across the TCH. • Install permanent radar speed signs and changeable messaging signs to encourage motorists to reduce speeds before entering the urban area. • Improve local roadway network connections and parking opportunities to facilitate phasing out direct access off the TCH.

Physiotherapist awaits November verdict
Campbell Crichton faces more than a dozen charges of assaulting patients Peter Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A court ruling is booked for Nov. 21 in the case of local physiotherapist Campbell Crichton, who faces a dozen charges of allegedly sexually assaulting patients, Duncan court staff says. Crown counsel Leah Fontaine confirmed Monday Judge Keith Bracken’s verdict, set to start at 10 a.m., will involve 12 or 13 charges. A sentencing date, if applicable, would be set after next month’s ruling. Fontaine, and co-Crown lawyer
Peter Benning, have explained the allegations regarding a suspected string of assaults by Crichton while practising at Cowichan Physiotherapy. “The most concerning thing to the court is that (Crichton) was in a position of trust,” Fontaine told the News Leader Pictorial. Crichton was initially charged with 23 counts of sexually assaulting patients. However, one patient has since died. Another charge was dropped after evidence was assessed, and Crown chose not to proceed “because it no longer met charge standard,” she has stated. At one point, Crichton took the stand on his own defence, Fontaine said. “(His statement) is a general denial of the allegations.”
Crichton, now in his 50s, was initially charged in March 2011 with five counts of sexual assault for alleged offences that occurred while he was practising at Cowichan Physiotherapy. Police said those alleged assaults involved five different female clients between 1996 and June 2009, and involved various forms of inappropriate touching during physiotherapy treatments. At the time of Crichton’s arrest in spring 2011, the RCMP asked any other potential victims to come forward. Any sentencing would hinge on what Judge Bracken potentially finds suspect Crichton guilty of, Fontaine explained. “It depends on the degree of (alleged) touching, and circumstances of the individuals.”

e take our hearing for granted but having a hearing problem can be a serious disability, hindering communication and causing feelings of isolation. Protecting your hearing is very important. Even a power mower has a decibel rating of 91. Other noise sources and their ratings include rock concerts (110), power saws and pneumatic drills (120), a fired gun (140). Use ear protection over 90 decibels. The Australian government recently increased the excise tax on imported tobacco products again. Some tobacco manufacturers are lowering their prices by producing cheap cigarettes at half the price of premium brands. There’s a worry that cheaper prices will turn more young people on to the habit. The cold season is coming upon us soon and people ask us what really works for colds? Zinc lozenges may help. They don’t help prevent colds but may shorten the duration. Hand-washing is effective. Do it often. Pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen help you feel comfortable. Non-prescription antihistamine/decongestion combinations can also bring added comfort. If you have a child with lice, you can remove the eggs from the hair using a lice comb. This process will be made easier by treating the hair with conditioner first to make the eggs easier to remove.
If you have a lice situation in your home, our pharmacists will be happy to advise on the best treatment. Monday - Friday 9 am to 7pm • Saturday 9am - 6pm Sunday & Holidays 11am - 5 pm Delivery MonDay tHrougH SaturDay

Next month, Dakova’s development permit, and development variance permit, will also be brought to council for debate. “Height, massing and setbacks are typically dealt with through zoning, however, the development permit application also has guidelines for consideration for things such as setbacks on upper floors, and other exterior features,” De Verteuil noted.

Public hearing will address zoning height issues from page 1 “There hasn’t been consultation with any experts, just with the city (staff), mayor and council — l’m just not sure they have the expertise to look into the future for city planning. “More planning should go into (Dakova) before it’s a fait accompli. Our plan certainly hasn’t been adhered to.” Hearing processes prevent city councillors from commenting about projects beforehand. Councillor Sharon Jackson noted council can mull over building-design issues after a rezoning hearing. Bracic said his project “will spark the community, and add more vibrancy.” Its 36-car underground parkade, plus a dozen surface stalls behind the Dakova, will help keep core congestion low, he noted. The Stott lot saw the proposed Savoy, then The Alderlea, residential-commercial projects fizzle in recent years. The Oct. 20 public hearing about a spot-zoning amendment for C-1 use, will address Dakova’s height issues in its proposed five storeys, plus density issues. C-1 permits 31 units; Bracic plans 36. If third reading is given Oct. 20, transport ministry approval is received and conditions are met, the zoning amendment will go to council for consideration of final

DATELINE: COWICHAN
1928: fall fair
1928: gas
by Ann Andersen
Friday, October 10, 2014
In spite of Councillor Fox’s opposition, North Cowichan council agreed to continue the practice of selling gas from the municipal pump at cost to municipal employees for use in their private cars.
1928: games
Rough estimates given by secretary Mr. W. Waldon at a meeting of the Cowichan Agricultural Society showed the Fall Fair would leave the society with a balance of some $950. Only entrant in the honey section Mr. Maynard protested he was entitled to a prize.
At a Cowichan Women’s Institute social in the Odd Fellows’ Hall, some 70 people played bridge, whist and 500 with Mrs. F. B. Carbery and Col. Hodding finishing first, and Mrs. A. Stannard and Mr. H. Greig settling for the consolation prize.
Cowichan churches give plenty of thanks Dateline 1928: Uplifting sermons delivered Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
T
he tradition of being thankful for the harvest festival is centuries old: churches are decorated with seasonal flowers, fruits and vegetables; the music greeting Sunday morning attendees is joyful; the sermon uplifting. And at St. Peter’s, Quamichan, The Thankful Spirit was the subject of Archdeacon H. A. Collison’s sermon on Thanksgiving Sunday 1928. Those helping with the decorations, some donated by Messrs, Crosland Bros., included Mr. and Mrs. J. Fox, Mr. and Miss Hanham, Mrs. C. Stone and Mrs. E. Gore-Langton. For the first time in 60 years, no member of the Marriner family was present to assist with the work as Miss Mary Marriner was ill. Over at Duncan United, the congregation heard the Rev. W. F. Burns talk about thanksgiving for the harvest. Miss Cowie was at the organ, and Mr. P. R. Dobson led the choir. At the annual harvest supper held in the church hall 125 people enjoyed the supper organized by Mrs. P. Flett. Among her assistants were Hazel Mains and Florence Dirom. Waitresses were Misses Gwen Owens, Beatrice Webber, Mabel and Ada Burkholder, Gertude Seeley and Mabel Flett. Included in the entertainment was a medley of songs performed by J. L. (Jack) Shadbolt, J. Ross and L. C. Curtis.

Scheduling conflicts have city fielding complaints Unfortunate error: Duncan reverses decision to bump youth football for men’s soccer
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
T
oo many teams, not enough playing fields has City of Duncan staff huddled to find solutions. One field crunch that surfaced last week has been solved between the Cowichan Valley Football Association’s board and city staff. The league’s youth football will resume practise Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m., on Rotary Park field, starting Oct. 22, city hall’s Tuesday release said. The football league’s younger players will also use a city facility at an earlier time, the two parties agreed. The field-time fracas started when youths with Cowichan Football learned their long-time 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday practice slot on Duncan’s revamped, welllit, well-drained Rotary Field was bumped to 5 to 7 p.m. on the rougher, dim, sand-based McAdam Field. Some locals had bitterly complained after it was discovered the Cowichan Classics/Masters Soccer team had claimed their old longtime slot, complaints that led to this change. Duncan CAO Peter DeVerteuil said this has been a challenging year trying to accommodate all the interest for usage in the new Rotary Field, calling the decision

A Classics men’s soccer organizer said in city hall’s release his league was unaware of youths being displaced by booking changes. The youth football team still enjoys its Monday and Friday night bookings on Rotary.

Citizens need to make an informed choice
Municipal elections: Get out and cast your ballot on Nov. 15 toward new four-year terms.
F
rom the water you drink to the streets you drive on, through the incentives to attract business to the area to the money spent on parks for your children to play in, municipal government has the greatest impact on the day-to-day lives of
Canadians. But despite the importance city hall plays in the lives of its citizens, too many voters overlook their chance to have a say in the running of city hall. The past round of municipal elections in November Voter turnout B.C. 2011 drew a mere 29.55 % voter turnfor municipal out. Duncan did slightly better than the provincial average, with 32.98% of elections is residents casting a ballot. But those numbers pale in comparison to the far too low 52 % of British Columbians to vote in the 2013 provincial elections, with nearly 62 % of Cowichan Valley residents taking part in the election. This year’s municipal elections will be taking place on Nov. 15 in communities across the province. And this year’s elections will have an even longer-lasting effect on the community, with mayors and councillors now being elected to four-year terms. The nomination period for prospective candidates closes today, and residents in Duncan and throughout the Cowichan Valley are promised a wide variety of candidates representing the whole gamut of contrasting views. So whatever issue you hold dearest to your heart, take the time to find out where your local candidates stand on the issue and cast your vote accordingly. The future of the community depends on its citizens playing an active role in selecting its leadership. And all of us should be encouraged to make our opinions known about this beautiful place we call home.
We say:
Seeing both sides of: One Cowichan election survey The case for
The case against One Cowichan is a lobby group concerned about environmental issues. It may have been took pains to keep its issues survey as open and objective as possible, but it is handcuffed by its very nature. Polling people on its website, the farmers’ market and VIU is not going to result in an even sample. Politicians should dismiss it as not being anything near representative of what the general public is thinking.
One Cowichan’s survey found water conservation was at the top of the priority list of local residents.
Is CUPE running your municipal council? Tom Fletcher Black Press
T
he big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises. When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the past couple decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.
Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names such as Protect Coquitlam to appeal to low-information voters. During the convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong. Is the province going to impose some kind of solution? “There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well. Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground? “We haven’t formulated our answer,” de
One complaint you hear again and again in as how government doesn’t do enough to consult the public. So how can you complain when the public provides such a broad survey of public opinion? Should the survey become the politicians’ Bible? Of course not. But it should be another piece of valuable input they can use to help guide them through the difficult process of making decisions.
BC VIEWS
Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more co-ordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.” Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this? “The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of
38 % between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 % for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 %? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which are working on behalf of CUPE? Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press. Reach him at tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Should we spend $22 million to move our sewage outfall from the river to Satellite Channel? “$22 million sounds like a lot of money; where does it come from? Everyone’s broke. Costs go up but wages barely increase. It’s another addition to our taxes.”
“I think our sewage should be further treated with the $22 million.”

One Cowichan survey hurt by selection bias
Dear editor The recent One Cowichan election issues survey is hardly a “random” selection of people. A farmers’ market and a online poll of One Cowichan followers? Seriously? I suspect you would get a vastly different outcome if it was a true scientific poll of random people. The scientific name for this is selection bias. Jeff Dalgliesh

Dear editor With respect to Nick Caumann’s Oct. 4 letter “Tax Buster Happy to Debate Councillor”), I stand by the central point of my earlier comments with respect to the “TaxBusters” organization. The bottom line is that while we may agree on the problem, I simply cannot concur with the group’s rhetorical choices. As to the specific critiques of my actions in the past three years, there’s an inference that

Lori Iannidinardo, coordinator of the Cowichan Community Kitchen, removes a tray of freshly baked bread from the cob oven during the Cowichan Community Culinary Festival family event at Centennial Park on Oct.4. The event featured live music, kids’ games and tasting local food recipes prepared by the Cowichan Community Kitchens team, in partnership with Cowichan Green Community. I haven’t done enough to keep taxes down. Short of making the case in debate and voting against four consecutive budgets, what would he have me do? Lead a physical attack on the budget meetings with a group of pitchfork and torch-wielding taxpayers? My refusal to second Councillor Koury’s “1% motion” was a simple case of practical governance. It was clear the motion was being introduced far too late in the budget process, and it would have gone down to defeat. And my final position on Echo Heights was completely consistent with my pledge in the 2011 election, where I said a resolution to land-use in Echo Heights was more important to me than an absolute maximizing of the revenue potential from the property. The issue has now been resolved, and I’m proud my vote contributed to the end of the divisiveness on that file. Yes, we need to slow the rate of tax increases. But we need to do so with credibility.

is why my central campaign position heading to Nov. 15 is to limit those increases to no more than the rate of inflation, and to force council to do a true “priority-setting exercise” to figure out how to do that. As to the “debate” to which Mr. Caumanns is challenging me, I hope he throws his hat into the ring in the election. I’m sure we’ll have some spirited discussion at the all-candidates’ forums.

It is in the Shawnigan Lake Museum where works and articles from his home, including his art school certificate personally gifted by him and other works donated by his and the Salmon family are housed in a small gallery dedicated to his life as an artist and his life in Shawnigan Lake.

Keep Island Savings local
Dear editor In response to the recent article about the proposed Island Savings merger. As a business owner and 15year member, I urge all Island Savings Credit Union members to
carefully consider their proposed merger vote with First West Credit Union. My main concern is losing local control of our credit union. We will no longer have a main office and decisions will be made at First West’s head office in Langley. At the present time we have 100% representation on the board of directors but under the new structure we will have 20% the seats on the board for the first two years, after which representation will be based on total membership and assets. As credit union members, we want our deposits available to other members of our community. Bigger is not always better. I believe the board of directors has not proven the need for the proposed merger, even to some of its fellow board members since the vote among board members was not unanimous. The board has not presented a business case to show how the merger will be beneficial to members. We are told members will get access to First West’s Simply Free Account. If that is important to members, then can’t Island Savings provide it without giving up local control? We are also told profitability will grow due to increased scale, efficiency and cost sharing. If there are not going to be any layoffs as a “direct” result of this partnership, then where does the efficiency come from? The case for change doesn’t explain how this is to be done. I will not be voting in favour of this proposal and I ask that all Island Savings members come to the aid of our credit union and vote ‘No.’ Don Skerik Cobble Hill

f you want to reduce the chances of having a fire in your home, there’s no better time than fire prevention week to map out a plan. Fire prevention week, Oct. 5 to 11, was proclaimed in Canada in 1919 to commemorate a major fire that destroyed a portion of Ottawa’s Parliament buildings on Feb. 3, 1916 and a huge fire in Chicago in October 1871. Ken Bulcock, fire chief of the Cowichan Bay Volunteer Fire Rescue has been fighting fires for 31 years. The two most common causes for home fires, he says, are electrical and cooking, with things left unattended on the stove. His volunteer department, which handles 200 to 250 calls a year — fire, car accidents and medical aid — has seen the number of house fires come down, “significantly,” for a variety of reasons. Those reasons include new fire and building codes, an increased use of smoke alarms and, most importantly, fire prevention and education. “When people are displaced from their house, it’s hard to see, and it’s even harder when they don’t have insurance, which is not uncommon with renters,” Bulcock said. “If you don’t have a smoke detector, stop by at the fire department

Identify two exits from every room — typically a door and a window — from which to escape, especially in bedrooms. Ensure exits are free of toys, furniture and clutter. Assign family members ahead of time to

assist infants or the infirm in the event of a fire. Practise your escape plan twice a year, at different times of the day and night. Identify a safe place to meet once outside your home. And ensure your house’s address is clear from the street and back alley. Also essential is having an up-to-date smoke alarm. Test all smoke alarms once a month. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Replace your batteries at least once a year and replace smoke alarms after 10 years.
• Are adults present in the kitchen when food is cooking? • Are cooking areas free of materials that could catch fire? • Are pot handles turned toward the back of the stove and are children kept at least a metre away? • Are portable space heaters located away from combustible materials, never left attended and turned off before bed? • Have your chimneys, fireplaces, wood stoves and/or furnaces been inspected by a professional this year? • If candles are burning, are their holders stable and big enough to catch dripping wax? • Are candles blown out when you leave the room or go to bed? • Are matches and lighters out of children’s reach? • Are electrical cords in good condition without cracks or frayed areas? • Are flammable liquids like gasoline, kerosene or propane stored in safe containers in a properly vented shed? • Have you created a safety zone around your home by clearing flammable vegetation? • Is your roof clear of needles and leaves? • Are cigarette butts and ashes doused with water before thrown out into a noncombustible container?

ince Christina Shepherd was a little girl, she’s been fascinated with fire trucks. That might explain why she’s training to become a volunteer firefighter with the Cowichan Bay Volunteer Fire Rescue. Some might say it’s in her DNA, given that her dad, James Shepherd, volunteers for the same department and Christina’s grandpa was a firefighter too. “Becoming a professional firefighter is something I’m looking at,” the 17-year-old Frances Kelsey School student said, eyeing life after graduation. After applying, applicants get interviewed and then put through a number of physical tests, which include climbing up and down a ladder three times with fire gear on, dragging dummies and pulling a fire hose. Cowichan Bay Fire Chief Ken Bullock said they also spend a couple of nights at the fire hall, participate in a couple of practices and then start a 15-month training program. Because Shepherd is under 19, she’s considered a junior firefighter and her training program is longer. Because his department, like other volunteer departments, struggles with finding enough volunteers, there’s no age barrier if the
applicant meets all the requirements. According to Bulcock, being a good team player, having a desire to serve, previous experience on other departments, working in a trade, and the ability to train hard all help. During the training, probationary trainees, or “probies,” as they’re called, learn about equipment use, bylaws, fire behavior and ventilation, and pumper operations among other subjects. They train five to six hours a week, in addition to real calls. Like all fire departments, in addition to fires the Cowichan Bay department attends first-responder calls for medical situations and motor vehicle accidents too. Brad Doran trains with Shepherd and for him, it’s all about giving back to his community. In September 2000, firefighters were first responders when his dad, Greg, had a massive heart attack. And while he wasn’t saved, their efforts made a huge impression on the younger Doran. While he struggled with pinpointing something about the training that was hard, Doran said sometimes showing up for training Monday evenings after a taxing day at work is challenging. For the five-foot six inch Shepherd, it’s hauling the big hose that connects to the fire hydrant, and “a lot of the reaching.” “Other than that it’s awesome, I love it,” she said. “I like taking on a bigger role in the community.” “More than anything, it’s about being willing to learn,” Doran said. “What I like best about it is that you learn something new every day; it’s fascinating.” It also meets Doran’s love for a chal-

Shepherd said a highlight of the training so far was going to a real fire. “It was a lot different than in training,” she said. “In training we split up into groups, and

Folk act gets over fear of drinking Tim Readman has played major roles in the bands Fear of Drinking and The Arrogant Worms. Don’t expect his music to be bland. Readman and Jennie Bice combine as the headline attraction at this weekend’s Cowichan Folk Guild Coffee House. “Tim and Jennie have been performing a mix of traditional British and Irish folk songs for over 15 years, and they will knock your socks off,” folk guild artistic director Bobbie Blue said in a media release.
“He has an extensive repertoire of traditional and original songs and can perform everything from murder ballads to more contemporary material by artists as diverse as The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Steely Dan and Madonna. “Bice first played with Tim in Fear of Drinking in 1999 but her musical history spans many genres including Celtic, roots, jazz, blues, rock, Cajun and classical which accounts for her unique playing style. “When Jennie and Tim perform together, the sparks fly.” Saturday’s coffeehouse is set for Duncan United Church, 246 Ingram St. Doors open at 7 p.m., followed by the open stage at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10, $5 for CFG members.
Over The River, Through The Woods a mistitled treasure Review: Chemainus Theatre’s latest is touching, funny and something you should not miss
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
I
talians say “tengo familia.” Roughly meaning ‘I have family’, the translation offered a theme about honouring the importance of family love during Friday’s debut of Chemainus Theatre’s heartwarming Over The River and Through The Woods. This outstanding dramatic comedy, ably directed by Pamela Halstead, seemed misnamed by playwright Joe DiPietro. The title, we learn, is based on a familiar kids’ song. But it infers a farce starring guys in flannel or camouflage, guzzling beer in a cabin decorated with moose antlers. Wrong. ORTW was another pearl added to the theatre’s sturdy string of great plays. Action turned on Nick Cristano (Giovanni Mocibob), a savvy young New Jersey media exec climbing the career ladder to, he hoped, a Seattle job away from what he saw as claustrophobia involving both pairs of his grandparents. But Nick comes to see routine life has blinded him to the wisdom, strength and car-
epiphany that no one loves you like your family. That moral sat at the end of a humorous highway dotted with food-laced eccentricities, ingrained beliefs and odd observations among Nick’s grandparents Aida and Frank Gianelli (Linda Goranson, Bill McFadden), and Nunzio and Emma Cristano (Wes Tritter, Martin). Terrific timing, perfect vocal volume, and candid expressions made ORTW an absorbing hothouse of sensitivity. It was all couched in the Gianellis’ simple apartment created by Craig Alfredson, and lit by Darren Boquist. Laughs came from droll quips and comical stories from his grandparents, while Mocibob’s exasperated Nick patiently tried to take it all in stride. Between Aida’s constant food service — “Who’s hungry?” — Frank’s bone-dry wit, and the Cristanos’ nostalgic romance, we, like Nick, are pitched a curve ball of unexpected depth about life in act two. One-hour act one zipped by as the stage was set for a tragic, tearjerking second act. But the charm of this prophetic, well-acted Andrew Leong play lay in its development of six distinct charNick (Giovanni Mocibob) chats with grandmother Emma Gianelli (Margaret Martin) in Chemainus Theatre’s heartwarm- acters we come to know as family — making DiPietro’s vital messages about selflessness, ing hit Over The River and Through The Woods. candor and commitment all the more perto Cowichan High teacher Mike Moroz), to ing of his immediate family (his parents live in sonal. dinner in hopes of keeping Nicky at home in Florida).

Valentine hands us keys to personal freedom Review: One-woman show delivers keen observations on life’s trials
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
S
hirley Valentine’s timely message for folks aching to crash out of life’s self-imposed drudgery rightly earned a standing ovation after last Thursday’s performance in
Duncan. Mercury player Jennifer Lally terrifically transmitted her long-suffering, yet resilient, character evoked in Willy Russell’s insightful script. Static came from vocal volume that was too low at times, a situation amplified by Mercury Theatre’s creaking stage floor. Rugs on stage could dampen some of that noise, coupled with more projection by Lally. Still, we hung on every line as Lally merrily reprized the charming, one-woman play from a dozen years ago. Viewers were the kitchen wall during Shirley’s droll soliloquies in the stuffy workingclass home of Mrs. Joe Bradshaw, nee Shirley Valentine, 42. She’d sure had it with years of verbal and emotional abuse from her loutish spouse. Shirley’s lifesaver was friend Jane’s plane ticket-gift to Greece. Weeks of angst about the guilt of baling
out ended with Shirley headed to the Mediterranean — far away from Joe and their selfish kids. She was gone for good. Freedom is always the right choice, as Lally’s comical Shirley delightfully displayed. Her sexually satisfying fling with kind taverna owner, Costas, opened flood gates to the freedom for which she bravely fought life’s grind. Joe called Shirley home to England, but it was too late; she had evolved past him into a new woman reclaiming all those lost years spent frying chips and eggs. “The woman he wants to come home doesn’t exist anymore,” Shirley stated. Shirley’s bravery to escape her home-based tomb reflected Lallys’ courage of taking to the stark stage again. Her route wound past Shirley’s oft-keen observations of life in the urban cage imprisoning her potential under warden Joe. “Shirley Valentine just disappeared on the missing-person’s list,” she lamented. Enter realization of self-love, and notions of the person she may have been — ironically reflected in the freedom of Shirley’s girlhood pal, who became an elegant, happy hooker. But Shirley could just as well have been a Shawn — an equal number of men are locked in the hell of personal cells for which they also have the keys. And that was the magic of this precious little play.

Shirley Valentine (Jennifer Lally) ponders the suffocating housewife life she escaped for personal fulfillment, during last week’s production of Willy Russell’s charming play at The Merc. It left us wondering how many people we know are suffering in the dark — hopefully gathering the guts to bust into the light of self-actualization. Dramatic-comedy rating: 8 jailbirds out of 10.
Series opens with Macbeth Shakespeare meets Verdi as the Live at the Met series roars back into action this weekend on the Cowichan Theatre big screen. Anna Netrebko gives “a soaring bravura performance as Lady Macbeth” while Željko Lučić delivers “a commanding portrayal of the doomed Scottish king,” as Verdi’s Macbeth commands centre stage. “Adrian Noble’s chilling production showcases Shakespeare’s story in a stark, yet exciting staging. Nr. Noble, the former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, has set this production in the 1940s,” wrote The Financial Times. “The chronological move is complemented by conductor Fabio Luisi’s “consistent reinforcement to the drama of Verdi’s marvelous score while also recognizing the opportunities it affords for sumptuous, styling singing.” The Cowichan Theatre tradition of bringing high-definition broadcasts of Metropolitan Opera performances is expected to continue with several shows this year. “The Met Live in HD series presented at the Cowichan Theatre has steadily built a dedicated patron base since we first started the broadcasts,” said CVRD arts and culture manager Kirsten Schrader. “The support for the series is constant and feedback lets us know how much this group appreciates not having to drive long distances to see their opera favourites.” The performance is set to play 9:55 a.m. at the Cowichan Theatre. Tickets are $26 with discounts based on age and through buying a season’s pass. Get them at the Cowichan Ticket Centre, 2687 James St. by phone 250-748-7529 or online at cowichantheatre.ca.

Thomas Allan Rothney
January 4, 1947 - October 2, 2014 Tom passed away peacefully on October 2, 2014, surrounded by his family. Tom was born January 4, 1947 in Sherbrooke, Quebec to George and Audrey Rothney. He is survived by Denise, his loving wife of 44 years, his children Jamie Rothney (Krista Slavinski) and Adrienne Haponiuk (Michael Haponiuk) and grandchildren Owen Rothney, and Zachary and Joshua Haponiuk, and by his mother Audrey Rothney, and sisters Linda and Susan Rothney. In Tom’s long career in education, he worked his way from teacher to superintendent, and also spent time leading sessions of teacher training and working for the Ministry of Education. His passions included beekeeping, playing his trombone, strolling his beautiful Fuller Lake, Chemainus property with his family, and driving his classic car, Bluebell, around town. A celebration of Tom’s life will be held on Saturday, October 18th from 4-6 pm at Merridale Cidery (1230 Merridale Road, Cobble Hill). In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Early signs promising for volleyball girls Camosun tourney: Brentwood, Duncan Christian post decent results John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial

“
After working in the industry for 21 years Dean felt it was time to go on his own and opened a home-based business. In 13 years, we increased our clientele to the point of having to move from home and open a larger shop. In that time, we never advertised. In August of 2013 we expanded and moved to the industrial park. Simon approached us to do some advertising. We sat and he explained it all to me and we set a budget for the year, which was a great help as this was something we had never done before. At the end of our meeting we agreed he was the paper guy and we were the mechanics. Simon always contacts me, sends proofs
and gets it done right. If he feels there is something we will benefit from he is always on top of it. This has definitely expanded our business to the point where we have had to add extra people to our work force. I believe that it is the result of the help of the great staff at the News Leader this has happened. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and hard work. I would also like to congratulate Simon on his promotion, which I feel he has earned tenfold. Our local paper is in great hands. Simon you are awesome! Karen and Dean, Deans Marine Ltd
”
he annual Camosun senior girls volleyball tournament is all about measuring. As the first big, competitive tournament of the young high school season, teams use it as a way to judge where they stand in comparison to the competition and where they need to improve. Duncan Christian and Brentwood — traditionally Cowichan’s most successful programs — learned they have to make improvements, but also that the gap shouldn’t be too far to bridge. Brentwood finished ninth and DCS 15th in the 24-team tournament, which included some of the province’s top AAA and AAAA teams. B.C. AAA number two Timberline of Campbell River beat AAA number one South Delta to win the title. Brentwood (a AA school) opened against Timberline, losing 25-17, 25-12, but rebounded to beat Littleflower by the same scores. They then dropped a tight first playoff match 27-25 and 25-21 to Ballenas, mean-
ing they could finish no higher than ninth. But they did exactly that, winning 26-24, 25-23 over Belmont and 26-24, 25-11 over DCS. Even though his team lost the match, DCS coach Dave Vanderschaaf said his A school proved something to itself. “What I’m excited about is the fact that a team like Brentwood will likely do quite well at the AA provincials. For us to have that awesome first set against them makes me think that we can have a really good provincial run this year,” he said. DCS opened the tourney on a high, winning its pool by beating Vic High 25-14, 25-19 and Princess Margaret Secondary of Surrey 25-18, 25-21. But they couldn’t handle a couple hot servers against Ladysmith (who eventually finished fourth) in their first playoff match losing 12-25, 13-25. Their final match was a barnburner against Claremont: a 30-28, 25-27, 15-12 loss. “Overall for the weekend, the team looked a lot more settled. On the court they are working hard together and the players are getting used to the new positions (for some of them),” Vanderschaaf said. “They worked hard and are seeing that the hard work and communication is paying off.”

SAVE ON HEATING OIL
I
magine an organization which has donated funds for more than 65 consecutive years to support cancer patient care, research and equipment. Now imagine the commitment of thousands of members hosting socials and teas, bazaars, raffles and other fund-raisers, as well as giving freely of their time to meet their charitable goals. According to Ruth Foster, Director of Cancer Activities for the O.E.S., “There are four categories of annual giving: educational bursaries, equipment, supplies and Cancer Dressings.” Last year, $8,362.29 was collected from the sale of cancelled stamps and postcards throughout British Columbia and Yukon to be distributed for Cancer Research or Cancer Dressings, wherever it is needed. (We must thank our friends in the community for keeping us well supplied with stamps.) Sunset Chapter #44, Duncan has one of our 39 Cancer Dressing Stations, located downstairs in the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road, Duncan. Last year, throughout our jurisdiction, 170 dedicated members volunteered 8120 hours producing 69,708 cancer dressings at a cost of $9,599.91. (We’ve used up inventory on hand, which once again reduced expenses. There is a need for dressings in Northern BC, so these numbers will likely increase next year.)
p m a St Out r e c n Ca
Presently, sterilization is only being done by certain Hospitals and Clinics by trained and qualified staff in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and d Prince George. The present method of distribution on is - the hospital staff will give the patient a supplyy of cancer dressings to take home. Local cancer patients requiring dressings are asked to contact the Canadian Cancer Society Office at 250-746-4134. Cancer is a dreadful disease without the added burden of the expense of dressings often required. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT. All that is required is a doctor’s referral. By supporting our Stamp Project, attending bazaars and teas, the Cabaret Night or buying tickets on our annual Cancer Draw, you enable us to continue our efforts in the fight against cancer. We’ve had a Polar Swim each February since 2005, first at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith and starting this year, at Departure Bay in Nanaimo. Thanks to pledges/donations, the members willing to brave the chilly water, have raised over $50,000.00 for Cancer Projects. Please drop off your used stamps at the Cowichan News Leader/Pictorial Office between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Mon. to Fri., #2-5380 Trans Canada Hwy., the United Steelworkers Office, 351 Brae Road, or the local Cancer Office, #100-394 Duncan Street. NB: Our Stamps Dealers dictate how the stamps are to be trimmed, so we are asking our friends in the community NOT to TRIM stamps off envelopes. Just leave the stamps intact and we’ll do the rest. We don’t want any stamps to be spoiled. Thanks.

Wark lands in Chilliwack cashspiel final World Curling Tour: Duncan skip puts her team into contention before losing to China
Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
T
he competitive curling season is off to a fine start for Duncan’s Sarah Wark rink. Skip Wark and Victoria teammates third Simone Brosseau, second Michelle Allen and lead Rachelle Kallechy recently placed second in a Chilliwack cashspiel. They’re coached by Shawnigan Lake’s Roz Craig. Wark placed second to China
in the final of the season’s first World Curling Tour event. There were three pools of five teams to start and “we came out of our pool with a 4-0 record,’’ said Wark. It was a strong pool that included the Dailene Sivertson Victoria rink. Wark received a bye to the semifinals against an Interior team and won that to reach the final. The Chinese team defeated Wark 5-2 in a low-scoring game. “They ran us out of rocks,’’ she said. The first four games Wark’s rink was up three coming home without the hammer but the tables were turned for the final. “There was a lot of consistency
through the whole weekend,’’ said Wark. The foursome just got together last year with Wark moving to the skip’s position and she now has the experience to carry forward. “It was nice to have one full year to build on,’’ she said. “Last year was really tough, I thought, especially when I got to provincials. The confidence thing is something I have to work on. I feel a lot more comfortable going into this year now that I’ve got a year under my belt.’’ The Wark rink’s calendar is busy with a series of events coming up, including a one-day cashspiel at Kerry Park Nov. 1. Her team also plays in two leagues each week at Juan de Fuca and Victoria.

Masters swimmers always up for a challenge
SPORTS WATCH
Valley master swimmers Eulah Varty and Colleen Nelson don’t miss an opportunity to enter elite competion. While in Montreal for the World Masters Championships, Varty and Nelson also went in a three-kilometre open water swim at the Olympic Rowing Basin on Ile Notre Dame.
Nelson was fifth out of 31 in the 65- to 69-yearold age group, garnering one of the medals awarded up to sixth place. Varty also received a medal. The U.S. nationals near Baltimore were also on Varty’s agenda this summer after that. She’s now 80 years old and shows no signs of slowing down.

T
he results were what you might have expected from the Kerry Park Islanders last weekend. The game stories, however, didn’t exactly go according to script. The Islanders locked horns with the division’s best team, the Victoria Cougars, on Sunday after tangling with its dregs, the Peninsula Panthers, Friday and Saturday night. They took both games against the Panthers, but neither was a walk in the park — winning 3-2 at home and 2-1 in Sidney. And they lost to the Cougars, but not before taking them to overtime. The Islanders actually entered the third period with a 3-1 lead over Victoria on the strength of goals by Cody Short, Patrick Poets and Nick Kean. But the Cougars popped two in the third to send the game to overtime, where Ryan Carson won it just a little over one minute in.
Leighton Williams made 43 saves for the Islanders, who were badly outshot. Short, Poets and Ryan Hogg scored in Saturday’s win over Peninsula, while Cameron Nickerson and Kyle Green hit the scoresheet in the 2-1 win Friday. The weekend results leave Kerry Park third
in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s South Division with 14 points in 12 games. Victoria is first with 17 points in 12 games and Peninsula last at 0 and 11. Kerry Park’s next game is Friday in Campbell River against the undefeated Storm, followed by a home game Saturday versus Westshore.
up competition always brings out the best in ladies’ division members at Cowichan Golf and Country Club. Louise Ketilson rose to the occasion to win the Medal Cup with a net 68. Runners-up with a net 70 were Lynda Morrison and Ellen Merriam. The corresponding novelty round division winners included: Cathy Brown, Pat Davis and Peggy Robertson. Morrison had birdies on both No. 6 and 9. Joyce Willis and Robertson each carded birdies on No. 8. Ellen Lyon’s performance featured a chip-in on No. 4. Closest-to-the-pin honours went to Morrison on No. 6, Gloria Claxton on No. 8, Val Anderson on No. 13 and Shirley Walker on No. 15. Results for the previous Wright Cup featured a handicap win for Team Christa Robson and Pat Molyneaux with a net 67. The runnerup team of Sandy Buchanan and Kathy Coates was close behind with a net 68.5. Claims on the closest-to-the-pin went to Judy Turner on No. 6, Morrison on No. 8, Merriam on No. 13 and Mazine Klee on No. 15. Chip-ins were made on No. 8 by Molyneaux and No. 9 by Morrison. The Par Cup winner was Carol Willan. The runners-up were: Merriam, Nancy Munro, Anderson and Judy Holmes. A Stableford Round played on the same day as the Par Cup was productive for handicap division

Anderson (No. 6), Kathryn Oliphant (No. 8) and Claxton (No. 15) were closest-to-the-pin winners.
