Eleventh-hour effort pushes Dakova to new council’s plate Downtown corner development: on hold pending further review Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Peter W. Rusland

Duncan Councillor Sharon Jackson has successfully lobbied to put a temporary halt to a development proposal for this city lot at the corner of Government Street and Canada Avenue, citing its importance as a gateway to downtown.

uncan councillor Sharon Jackson’s motto about allowing imposing new buildings downtown could be ‘Make a list and check it twice.’ She shared her nagging doubts with council Monday about the proposed, five-story Dakova Square residentialcommercial project, that had three rezoning readings for the Canada Avenue-Government Street corner and appeared poised for approval. But Jackson’s urging saw the outgoing council park the rezoning at fourth and final readings, pending more information. Jackson’s rezoning jitters were backed by councillors Michelle Staples and Michelle Bell, and convinced Councillor Joe Thorne to reverse his earlier support for the project. Duncan’s newly elected council will revisit the $11-million proposal by year’s end, explained incumbent Jackson. “I move we table this,” she told council, “until we have received and reviewed, at a minimum, the planning department’s considerations of: a comprehensive traffic study, reviewing

the positive and negative aspects of the proposal; a storm-water management plan, given the site’s high aquifer vulnerability; a geotechnical report; an environmental-impact report; (and) analysis of shadowing on our important Hoey Park.” Her list didn’t end there. “The proposal’s consistency and relationship with the defined street-scape, scale, building heights, and significant buildings; a proposed LEED strategy providing sufficient information for the proposal to be properly evaluated; and an independent legal opinion to determine the propriety of processing an application from a non-property owning speculator applicant,” must also be reviewed, her motion concluded. Mayor Phil Kent, who voted to rezone the Dakova, opposed the motion but was unavailable for comment by press time. City CAO Peter DeVerteuil explained the vote means staff will ready a report “considering the applicability of each item to the rezoning of the property, and whether the items have already been addressed, or are more applicable to the other stages of development approval, such as a development permit or building permit,” he states in an email. more on page 7

appeal. The Court of Appeal set aside the conviction and remitted the matter to the Provincial Court for a new trial. Judge Josiah Wood, who presided over the first trial, is now deceased. The Court of Appeal ruling cited Judge Wood erred in excluding evidence from an expert witness called by the defence, who indicated lethal force in accordance with police protocols was necessary on the night Gillespie was stopped by police near Chemainus. “Further, the judge went beyond his proper role when he made requests that evidence be tendered and when he engaged in lengthy questioning of witnesses,’’ wrote Justice Harvey M. Groberman in his judgement.

Chemainus Carol Ship docked this year Communication breakdown: Christmas tradition may return next year Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

hemainus’ popular Carol Ship has been scuttled this year due to scheduling changes, and a communication gap between two Mural Town groups, a BC Ferries agent says. Darin Guenette responded to a Chemainus Chamber of Com-

merce email reporting the Carol Ship will not be sailing this year. “BC Ferries says it cannot manage it with its new schedule,” that chamber email says. For years, the Carol Ship followed a special, dedicated sailing from Chemainus to Thetis Island and back on a Saturday evening to coincide with a sail-past from Ladysmith so Carol Ship passengers could see both events. “With schedule changes, almost all sailings are triangles (routes) going to Thetis and Penelakut islands,” Guenette told the News Leader Pictorial. “Also, the chamber never did

ask us beforehand (this year), and the Eagles (traditionally) asked us months before. “We need some time to figure out if this (dedicated sailing change) would make sense. “It was a miscommunication between Eagles and the chamber about who would ask us. It’s understandable — and complicated because we have a new schedule.” Can the Carol Ship be relaunched for Christmas 2015? “By all means,” he replied. “If we get a request the community wants to see it, let’s sit down and see if and when we can make it work.”

alk to anyone about Larry Irving and the response is the same. Great guy. Extraordinary volunteer. A man with a heart of gold who would do anything for the betterment of baseball in the community and a huge fan of the game at the local level. The valley lost a true sporting legend when Irving died last Saturday, Nov. 22. He was 71. A celebration of life for Irving is being held Saturday, Nov. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Mount Brenton Golf Club. In lieu of flowers, brother Lynn Irving of Chemainus suggested people consider donating blood to the Red Cross in Larry’s memory. Larry needed several transfusions, Lynn said, during his final six months as his illnesses intensified. “The biggest disappointment in his life the last year was he couldn’t get to the ballpark,’’ said Lynn. “He wasn’t healthy enough to stay.’’ Tributes have been pouring in from everywhere, particularly through social media, since Irving’s efforts were so well-known and he touched the lives of so many. Rob Watt, a past player of his and currently an assistant coach at Mt. Olive University in North Carolina, was among them. “Larry Irving, you are a true ambassador of baseball and I cannot honestly sit here and believe the opportunities that I have had with this sport would have been remotely possible if it weren’t for you,’’ Watt wrote in a Facebook post. “I was saddened to hear the news of your passing but relieved to know that you will never miss a game. You can watch them all from any seat in the house! Only a true baseball fan will understand when

Last year’s induction into the North Cowichan-Duncan Sports Wall of Fame, above, was a proud moment for Larry Irving. He received his commemorative plaque from Wall of Fame member Tanya Clarke-Young and North Cowichan committee chairwoman Ruth Hartmann. Below, Irving during the making of a video presentation that preceded the inductions. I say this: ‘Your steps into that Hallowed Cornfield are well deserved and your spot amongst the greats has been reserved.’ Wish I had the chance to tell you, ‘Thank You.”’ “He was one of the all-time great guys,’’ said Ernie Mansueti, North Cowichan’s director of parks and recreation. “He was in it for all the right reasons.’’ A program created by Mansueti led to the ultimate tribute to Irving when he was inducted into the North Cowichan-Duncan Sports Wall of Fame last November in a ceremony at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club. Irving was shy in the public friend Roy Price said Larry was spotlight but the honour meant the known for his baseball jargon.

Local wedding and hockey stick wishes come true Friday, November 28, 2014

Wishing well: grants more than Cowichan kid bargained for Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

t all starts with wishful thinking. Young Bryce Burnett saw one of the Island Savings Credit Union’s pop-up wishing wells at the Duncan Mall and decided to make an entry on behalf of his brother Carson. Bryce’s wish was quite simple. The Atom A Capitals’ hockey player wanted a new hockey stick for Carson, a member of an initiation team in Duncan. Island Savings took it from there. A video at Facebook.com/IslandSavings show the results of the organization’s undertaking. Island Savings attended Bryce’s team practice at

the Island Savings Centre for the big reveal. “Little did they know about the big surprise we were about to unveil for them,’’ said Island Savings spokesman Chris Waddell on the video. Through Eddy’s Hockey Shop, Island Savings arranged for not just one hockey stick for Carson, but sticks for every member of Bryce’s team plus Victoria Royals’ jerseys for all the players. “We believe with every act of kindness, it can grow into something big,’’ said Waddell. The surprise didn’t end there. Part of Bryce’s wish was for a dream wedding that his mom Heather Goff and dad Clint Burnett never had. As fast as you could say abracadabra, Island

Savings also provided $10,000 for that special wedding to happen. “Creating remarkable experiences both big and small has long been a part of our values,’’ says Rod Dewar, president and CEO of Island Savings, in a press release. “That we were able to turn a wish for a hockey stick into a gift that benefited the whole team and Carson’s family is just one example of Island Savings’ commitment to make a real difference in the financial lives of our members and communities every day.’’ Every wish made in the branch-based Wishing Wells ballot boxes counts as an entry into a draw for one of six $500 term depots to be awarded in late December.

Community resource library making research easier

f you’re interested in information on the Cowichan Valley, there’s a new one-stop resource. Social Planning Cowichan has launched its community resource library, which contains more than 170 research reports and planning documents and more than 45 data sources on a variety of subjects, specific to the Cowichan region. “We are fortunate to have a wealth of information about the Cowichan region,” executive director Kathleen

Crichton conviction:

Former Cowichan physiotherapist Campbell Crichton was convicted on seven counts of sexual assault against his patients, not eight as reported in Wednesday’s News Leader. Prosecutor Leah Fontaine had initially told the NLP outside the courtroom that there were eight convictions. Upon later review of her notes, she realized she had misinterpreted

Sheppard said. “Our hope is to make that information easier to find by providing a single access point.” The library is hosted on SPC’s website at www.socialplanningcowichan.org/ community-resource-library.html. “We expect there are other documents out there that we have missed or new documents that have been produced,” Sheppard said, urging those with suggestions to email the organization at info@socialplanningcowichan.org. — Kathy Santini the judge’s statements. Using logic of reasonable doubt to examine potential “similar-fact” evidence to determine if there was a behavioural pattern, Judge Keith Bracken ﬁltered many allegations dating as far back as 1994, through the lens of time. Crichton quietly accepted Bracken’s ruling, delivered Tuesday, and left court without commenting to reporters. Some women left the courtroom dabbing tears.

New council to decide fate Staff’s report goes to the new council Dec. 22. Councillors can decide if any items will be required prior to rezoning approval, or whether to adopt the zoning amendment, de Verteuil said. “There was nothing illegal about what I did,” Jackson said of tabling the motion, an unusual step this late in the process. “At least it stops it for now. “It’s impossible for me to guess what the new council will do; I just wish council had listened to us (Dakova concerns) earlier in the process.” Council approved third reading Oct. 20 after hearing from residents, and Dakova Group president Vlado Brcic. Jackson also wants professional input, through a design-advisory review, about Dakova’s form and functionality at Duncan’s main corner, opposite Hoey Park’s cenotaph. “One of our main jobs is to work together to defend our official community plan at all costs,” she told council. “But what have we here before us? A development that, because we really want to get rid of the eyesore of the illegal parking lot, goes against everything the OCP calls for.” She called the longvacant lot “an incredibly sensitive site” requiring council to “create a positive contribution to our city.” “In this application, we have a developer (Alberta’s Dakova Group), who does not yet own the land, speculating if he receives the requested spot re-zoning, he will have a financially viable development.”

Second look at Dakova plan is the right move

Duncan: Let’s create a gateway to downtown

or the past decade or more, we’ve heard Duncan council talk multiple times about the need for gateways. These magical, mystical (some would say mythical) creations were the key to eliminating the negative image the highway strip has fostered for Duncan. They were going to be signposts that would make those driving through town want to stop, get out of their cars and start to explore. Despite their high profile in a variety of consultant reports and campaign speeches over the years, these gateways have been as elusive for Duncan as a Development Sasquatch sighting. of that lot Perhaps until now. Long-time councillor Sharon will impact Jackson has caught a rare glimmer city’s future of a gateway through the haze of the Dakova Square development proposal and she is determined not to see it bound away into the forest of cookie-cutter condo complexes. And for that, she should be thanked. Duncan has been waiting for a gateway for so long, it has forgotten what one it is supposed to look like. We’ve never seen one, so we probably shouldn’t comment. But we are pretty sure it doesn’t look like the drawings we’ve seen of The Dakova. The city has not done a good job at attracting development, but that does not mean the first time one shows up, council should agree to whatever the developer asks for. The Dakova lot is a prime location. Its development is a prime opportunity. The city should be neither giving in to the developer’s whims, nor throwing up roadblocks. It should be working with the developer to create a signature development that says welcome to downtown. It should be creating a gateway.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: another trial for Pompeo The case against

The case for

There are still many questions outstanding from the 2009 shooting of Bill Gillespie. Did David Pompeo act in an appropriate manner when he shot Gillespie in his driveway? And what message does that send to the public? The road to justice is neither easy, nor short. The Crown should be applauded for not taking the easy way out and following that road to the end.

Bill Gillespie still has a bullet lodged in his body after being shot in a Chemainus driveway.

Why can’t everyone just pay for their own fun? Jay Siska

News Leader Pictorial

he Leader ran an article last week headlined, “Split vote leaves sportsplex hanging.” My immediate response was, “Forget that! The referendum got voted down 7-4!” But when you look at the numbers it tells a different story. Within the CVRD (please know I’m working with unofficial election results calculated on my phone, so margin of error here) more people voted for supporting the sportsplex, than voted to leave it to fund itself. But when it got broken down by area within the CVRD, it was four for, and five against. Add the results from Lake Cowichan (466 for, 618 against.) And the most brutal beat-down from Ladysmith (654 for, 1734 against) didn’t help the cause.

The real question here is what are homeowners willing to pay for? And what do particular homeowners feel is worthy of public support? I’m a homeowner — barely. I’d like to think I’m not in the minority, because I know many, many, people are struggling to pay either mortgages or rent. I won’t ever — and I mean ever — make use of the Chesterfield Avenue facility. When I interned with the paper you’re reading, the entire crew participated in a fundraiser where we ran around a route to raise money for the facility. Editor John McKinley may be able to resurrect that photo of me running my final lap in drag, complete with a dress, wig with pony tails, and huge inflatable boobs. I hope he can’t, but it was a good time, regardless. Good times should continue to be a thing at Chesterfield. But I voted “no” because I’d like my

Six years, countless hours and millions of dollars have been poured into the Pompeo case already. In all that time, the system has failed to prove the former Duncan ofﬁcer is guilty of any criminal conduct. Gillespie has already been compensated in civil court for his suffering. We’re not sure if there is any practical purpose in continuing this matter for another two years.

money to go to support things that are necessities, not luxuries. If the CVRD hit me up for a onetime, line-item, for street-lighting in critical locations in Shawnigan, I’d endorse a $20 levy without a second thought. But when I was asked to support Kerry Park? NO. When it comes to supporting things within the community that are viewed to be good/ positive/valuable but that only a small portion of the populace gets the benefit of, my answer will always be no. Seriously, when your child is enrolled in hockey/football/soccer/whatever, why is it my duty as a homeowner to subsidize that? What about all the children who decide to do different things other than the “normal” go-to’s? I play paintball, and so do a lot of kids. If that was listed as a line-item or put on a

referendum to support, I know what your response would be. Call me callous, call me disrespectful, but it’s time everyone started paying their own freight when it comes to sports and recreation. They’re your kids, pay for them to do what you want them to do. You’re an adult who wants to play hockey? Pay for your own ice-time. You like track and field? Is Chesterfield your home? Awesome. Pay for it. Because I don’t want to. Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at jaysiska@hotmail.com.

YOUR TURN

Do you support selling liquor in B.C. grocery stores, starting April 1? “No. The cons deﬁnitely outweigh the pros because of access and control. It would be a lot easier for underage people to get booze as they’d deal with a cashier, not a trained liquor-store rep. “

Adrian Southern, North Cowichan

“No. We have enough liquor stores everywhere else. It’s not good to promote drinking in grocery stores, and it could create more problems with drinking and driving.”

Dear editor I am awaiting the return of the cross up on Mt. Tzouhalem. We have mountain-biked to it for the challenge. We have hiked to it for the view and to remember others — with so many others — on Good Friday. It was the first hike we were taken on when we moved to the valley 25 years ago. I love that Mt. Prevost has the cairn memorial and many hike up on Remembrance Day. I love that Mt. Tzouhalem has the cross and many hike up on Good Friday. Please allow the cross to be replaced. Yes it is a religious symbol to some but it is also a destination and a challenge — a sign of hope and is part of many family traditions and photos. Linda Knight

Maybe the time has come for another symbol

Dear editor Let me play the devil’s advocate (probably an unfortunate phrase choice given the symbol we are discussing) regarding replacing the cross on Mt. Tzouhalem. Some points of view: • the cross is a Christian symbol representing only one of many faith and belief systems in the Cowichan Valley. • placing large man-made objects on mountain tops, especially highly visible white ones, could be seen as visual pollution. Logging company radio repeater stations on mountain tops tend to be green and blend in with the surroundings. • the physical and mental ben-

DATELINE: COWICHAN

1979: care

1979: break

by Ann Andersen

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 11

North Cowichan council told MP Don Taylor a breakwater in the Chemainus Harbour was a priority and very much on their minds. It had been needed and sought for many years, they said.

1979: 4H

The Duncan Residents’ Activity Group at the (Cairnsmore) extended care hospital received a $3,250 federal New Horizons grant, said group president Margaret Ellis. A new program would include crafts, ﬁlm presentations and ﬂower and vegetable gardening.

Cowichan 4-H Sheep Club award winners were Ronald Tuckey, whose achievements included PNE champion ewe and best senior record book; and Jeannine Cowan, who won a top junior speaker trophy, proficiency certificate and senior skill certificate in judging.

Remembering the days of the pioneers Dateline 1979: Bill Vaux recounts the early days Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

hadn’t thought about Bill Vaux for decades before my new hairdresser told me where she lived – in Glenora, not far from Vaux’s existing home on Bill’s Road and close to the family’s original Vaux Road homestead. Every so often an interview happens that echoes through time. Mine in November 1979 with Bill Vaux, then 87, on the banks of the Cowichan River, certainly did. He whisked up anecdotes and historical glimpses and served a tantalizing smorgasbord of pioneer life. “They built a house at Glenora in 1886, and father went hauling logs for Mac McKinnon at the mill on Gibbins Road…it was good soil bought at $3 an acre from Keating. He owned half the district and drowned on the way back from the Klondike Gold Rush. “There’s many a time I went to bed hungry. There were 10 children in our family. I was 14 when Dad died. I’ll tell you, in those early days…we ate a red-headed woodpecker once, lots of deer, anything that flew; some bluejays and squirrels. Vaux’s work as a carpenter ensured his work on buildings that have just passed their 100-year mark: Duncan Garage, Cowichan Merchants, Oddfellows Hall (Whittome building), the train station and Whittaker’s jewelry and candy store.

t’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Duncan. And the yuletide joy will hit a feverish pitch with the Christmas kick-off celebrations Friday and the arrival of Santa Claus. There’s a slight change to the arrival of the jolly old fellow that people have become accustomed to in the past, according to Duncan Business Improvement Area Society manager MaryAnn Hartley. “Santa is arriving differently, not on the rooftop (of Duncan city hall),’’ she said. “He’s going to arrive on the oldest firetruck they (Duncan Fire Department) have. “There’s going to be a Santa route. Coming through the streets creates more of a buzz.’’ Festivities downtown will begin around 5:30 p.m. and Santa arrives shortly after 6 p.m. He’ll ride the restored firetruck around town via Station and Craig Streets and spread the crowd around so everyone can get a close look at him. It’ll almost be in a parade style with Santa riding in the fire department’s antique truck except without bands and floats or other parade entries. There will also be hay rides again around downtown again. “That seems to be really popular,’’ said Hartley. The festive atmosphere surrounding Santa’s

Big Brothers Big Sisters, located above the Old Firehouse Wine Bar, are holding an open house and visitors to the Cowichan Valley Museum will be treated to a special Christmas display. The Smiley family will be entertaining on the main stage in city square in its inimitable style. A secondary stage will be located near Just Jake’s with performances by choirs and bands — including Queen of Angels

and Queen Margaret’s School groups, the Carlson’s School of Dance and the Cowichan Valley Concert Band. Shortly after 8 p.m., fireworks will start exploding in the sky above city hall. “It’s a great viewing point,’’ said Hartley. “You can actually see it from quite a distance.’’ All in all, “It looks like a good community event and a kickoff to the Christmas season,’’ Hartley said. “The only thing we need to work on is the weather.’’ Fortunately, the weather is expected to be decent.

Old-fashioned feel The Cowichan Valley Museum helps launch the holiday season tonight with its ninth-annual Christmas Past Comes Alive! event. This fun-ﬁlled family activity is held in the train station, from 5:30 to 7:45 p.m., during Duncan’s Christmas Kick-Off. Museum volunteers, dressed in period costumes and assuming identities from Cowichan’s past, are ensconced throughout the museum displays. This year, the Christmas train display features a model of the heritage designated Duncan train station and some fantastic photographs of Duncan as it was decades ago. Come to the museum to see this display, on view until Dec. 19. The museum is open Wednesday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Travel under the tree: Local travel agent offers tips on hot getaways Peter W. Rusland

insel in the tropics this Christmas has Cowichanians turning to three hotspots — two Caribbean, one American. Sharon Viala, of Duncan’s Whittome’s Travel, said Mexico’s Mayan Riviera remains popular, along with Cuba’s north coast near Varadero, while others head to Hawaii’s Maui island. “Definitely it’s Mexico,” she said of the stretch of all-inclusive resorts south of Cancun that lured sun seekers last year too. “Mexico is still preferable; a high percentage of families we book do all-inclusives.” Viala priced four-star hotels for seven nights during Christmas in each region, based on a sixand a 10-year-old child, plus two adults. Leaving Dec. 20 from Victoria to the Mayan Riveria — sitting basically between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, the tab would be $7,525. The price includes airfare, rooms, meals, liquor and entertainment. “It’s all-in, and people know in advance what they’ll pay — and there’s no extra charges once they get there,” Viala said. “It probably was our most popular destination last year as well. It’s also non-stop out of Victoria, which is a great selling feature.” Christmas in Fidel Castro’s Cuban homeland — where Canadianos account for some 80% of the country’s turistas — was a close second in

It would cost the same four folks $7,567 to stay in a Cuban four-star all-inclusive, departing Dec. 22 from Vancouver. That includes air-fare, transfers, liquor food and entertainment. Its famous hand-rolled cigars are extra. Finally, a Maui hotel is a similar price, $7,357, but isn’t an all-inclusive. “It’s to and from Vancouver, plus a car (optional), meals and entertainment and liquor,” Viala said. “There are no all-inclusives in Hawaii as the state government doesn’t allow them on any of the islands,” she said of the drive to support local businesses such as restaurants, bars, and rent-a-car places. But Maui melts some wild-card worries for travellers. “Some people feel it’s very safe, with no concerns about (bad) water and food, or illnesses.” Meanwhile, New Zealand also called some local Noel vacationers. Viala just booked a one-month sojourn, leaving Dec. 29, for a local retired couple that’s renting a motor home in kiwi-land.

Have you considered ‘offroad’ shopping? Customize your Christmas: Let local designers help make the perfect gift for your loved ones Caroline Storie

News Leader Pictorial

t is not uncommon to find yourself in a big retail store at this time of year feeling depressed and stressed. Maybe you’re mumbling objections like: ‘It doesn’t fit properly. Why doesn’t this come in red?’ And let’s not forget, ‘it’s lovely, but will everyone else in Duncan have one too?’ A solution to this exists in the valley. Many talented designers live here and are happy to open their studios and give you something more than just off-the-shelf. It is entirely possible to customize your shopping this season and find yourself with products that are not just one-of-a-kind, but also made especially with you and your loved ones in mind. For example, Scarlett Feltrin, of Scarlett’s Second Hand Boutique, recently had a custom order of leather cuffs from a client. Feltrin’s own jewelry line repurposes leather from salvaged belts and old leather jackets. She cuts and mixes them with layers of antique jewelry to create an entirely

Caroline Storie

Clare Mackinnon from Urchin Designs is busy this season working on orders like this one, using bike inner tubes and some custom liner. new look. Cuffs weren’t part of the collection, but her materials and skill lent themselves easily to the task. “I completely encourage people to request special pieces from me,” she said. “I like the challenge and it actually increases my productivity if I am working to a deadline with someone special in mind.” Hilary Else from Elsewear and Ali Bertin of ancientFUTURES set aside dates when they open their studios to the public. Customers can browse through stocks pre-made, but are also welcome to discuss any custom work they need. There are lots of colour mixes to

choose from in the stacks of hand dyed material that stock the shelves. Adjustments can be made to standard patterns that accommodate any size or style preference. “I can add sleeves to that design if you would prefer.” Else said to a client. “I can just add another panel to the back of the neckline there too, which will give you better coverage for fit. Would you like that?” These professionals are on hand to help and you can use their knowledge of cut and fabric to have clothes that will fit you like a glove. Clare Mackinnon from Urchin Designs says that 10% of her business is custom work. Her bags and accessorises are made from repurposed materials such as bike inner tubes, vinyl banners and seatbelts. You can choose your design from as little as the colour of her funky Urchin labels or a whole re-specification of a courier bag. “It is so exciting to work with a client who enjoys what you make and wants to incorporate their own ideas or needs into a product,” Mackinnon said. “It puts more pressure on me to make something they will love, but it also gives me new ideas that I can use on my own designs too, it can be very inspiring.” These designers are just examples of the many who can be found off the beaten track and put yourself on a different route to successful Christmas shopping.

TTT drive makes Christmas merrier

Toys, Toiletries and Toques drive: Volunteers hope to ﬁll cube van with donated ‘other things’ John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

verybody needs food at Christmas. And usually you don’t need to go through too much trouble to find somebody willing to share anything from a nibble to a feast. So the Cowichan Valley Social Media Club decided to make it its personal campaign to fill Cowichan area stockings with “the other things.” Thus, Toys, Toiletries and Toques was born. It is now in its fourth year of collecting non-food items to supplement holiday hampers and Christmas dinner events throughout the valley. “We wanted to make sure everyone has something for under the tree or in

a stocking — toys for the kids, a gift certificate or toiletries for the teens and something for the parents too,” club spokesperson Cori McCaw said. “Often only the basics are affordable, but there are so many expensive items we need for our homes other than food to keep them operational. Each year, the club picks up donations and collects items through the month of November at drop-off locations throughout Cowichan. Last year, five SUV-loads of donations were collected. This year, the goal is to fill a cube van. The drive culminates outside Duncan’s Walmart Supercentre on Dec. 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. where members will be collecting donations. Staple donations include items like shampoo, toothpaste, underwear, boots, pajamas, pet supplies, bedding and similar items, but “fun” items like games and gift certificates are also on the wish list.

Chemainus arts group set to deck the Hall with music

SPOTLIGHT

A new concert series is coming to Chemainus, and it kicks off next week with a performance by two popular Vancouver Island entertainers. The Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society (CVCAS) has traditionally presented musical events during the summer months on the outdoor stage at Waterwheel Park in Chemainus.

Now, the society has made arrangements with St. Michael’s Church in Chemainus to present musical performances in adjacent St. Michael’s Hall on Mill Street. “CVCAS has made some really effective improvements to the acoustics in the hall, allowing the lovely stage there to be used for high-quality concerts,” states a press release

Mill Bay raised talent, Toronto success story

ou can take the girl off Vancouver Island, but you can’t take Vancouver Island out of the girl. That, according to actor Michelle Alexander, who lives in Toronto but formerly called Mill Bay home. The former Frances Kelsey Secondary School student who makes it a priority to return home once or twice a year to visit her mom and dad Maureen and Peter Alexander is one rare bird: a Canadian actor who isn’t waiting tables to make ends meet. In a super-competitive business, with few ever making it to the big leagues, Alexander is as grounded as they come, thanks in part to lessons learned here in the valley. “People on Vancouver Island take the seriousness of life with a grain of salt,” she said. “They put things in perspective very quickly, that’s an invaluable skill (to have) as an actor. “Vancouver Islanders know there’s more to life than just working; I know that work isn’t everything.” Despite this knowledge, Alexander has already blazed quite a trail.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 19 from the CVCAS. From Dec. 2 until April 7, the ﬁrst Tuesday of each month will feature a “Music in the Hall” series of concerts at St. Michael’s. Music will start at 7 p.m., and admission for these concerts will be $5. The kickoff concert on Dec. 2 will feature Chris Sherlock and Chuck McCandless.

SUIKER, Alicia Petrenela

McMORLAND, Vaughn (nee McColl) April 6, 1925 – November 22, 2014 Vaughn was born in Lake Cowichan, BC at the train station to Edward & Beatrice McColl, one of 6 siblings. Later they moved to Duncan and Vaughn attended Duncan High School. In her grade 12 year she left school and joined the RCAF and was stationed at Pat Bay. There she met and married Andrew McMorland in December 1944. She was predeceased by her son Timothy (1993) and her husband Andrew (1996). She is survived by her daughter, Dinah (Don) O’Keefe and her son, Ted (Cathy) McMorland. Also survived by granddaughters Janice (Jason) Battie and Erin (Dan) Whiteford and grandson Nathan Storey, and also her great-granddaughters, Chantelle, Zoe, & Addison Battie and Taylor Hodding, and great-grandson Rhys Whiteford. She is also survived by her sister Linda DiCastri and her brother Bill McColl and their families. Vaughn & Andy moved to Youbou, back to Duncan, to Victoria and back to Duncan again. Vaughn maintained many friendships over the years. A special thanks to the staff at ‘Nurse Next Door’ for their assistance in caring for Vaughn. There will be no service as per request. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES Condolences may be shared online at www.dignitymemorial.com In Loving Memory of Frances Ann FRASER April 13, 1946 – November 24, 2014 Our precious mother, wife, sister, grandmother and friend passed away peacefully and with dignity, at home, on the morning of November 24th, 2014. With her loving husband at her side, she took her last breath as she passed on to be with her Lord and Saviour. Survived by her husband Joe Fraser of 45 years, children: Susan (Daryle) Sorenson, Paul (Hieu) Fraser, grandchildren: Cole, Owen & Ethan, siblings: Mary-Clare (Phil) Jennings, John Guay Junior and Ed (Sonia) Guay, as well as numerous other loving family members and friends. Fran was born in 1946, to John and Doris Guay, in Thunder Bay, ON (formerly Fort William). The Guay family moved to Duncan, B.C. in 1959. Shortly thereafter, in 1962 in high school, she met the young man that would become her life long partner. The high school sweethearts wed in 1969 and lived a full life for 45 years. With great sorrow, we will miss Fran. However, we shall find joy in the lasting memories of such a special person. With a kind heart like her mother (Doris Guay) and a sharp wit like her father (John Baptiste Guay) she at once made you feel at home and gave all those around her something to laugh about. Mother’s greatest joys were her grandsons. She had numerous health issues; but if her grandsons needed anything, she always rose to the occasion. The sacrifices she made for her family was amazing, we can all aspire to share the same dedication and love as she did. We would like to thank Dr. Watson, Catholic Womens League, Home Care Support staff, and the Cowichan Valley Hospice Society for taking special care of our mother. We would also like to thank our family, neighbours and friends for their support of meals, cards, flowers and gifts throughout the 18 months that Fran battled with lung cancer. Your care means more than words can express. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Edward’s Roman Catholic Church, 2085 Maple Bay Rd., Duncan BC on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cowichan Valley Hospice Society, 3122 Gibbins Rd, Duncan, BC. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Jeter her faithful dog. Lana was an amazing person and a friend to all. She was a woman that regardless of what was going on in her own life would always ask about your life first. People gravitated to her as her smile was huge, laughter contagious and words sincere. She worked a few different jobs throughout her life, Pharmacy Assistant, BC Tel Operator, matte cutter in an art gallery, store clerk and even waitressed in her younger years. Her biggest job and claim to fame was supporting and loving her husband and family. Lana could be seen cheering at hockey games, ballgames, track meets, dance recitals, and fashion shows. If there was an event or game that her grandchildren were involved in she was there encouraging, loving and supporting. A very unselfish soul who volunteered 15’ years with the Chemainus Hospital Auxiliary. Lana also had many great years curling at the Duncan curling Club. Jack and Lana started out together playing in a Friday night mixed league. Eventually Lana would branch out to join a Wednesday night Ladies League. What started out as a sport for her ended up giving her more than she ever imagined. Her “team” of ladies became “extended family” the love and friendship of these girls is eternal. A sincere thank you goes out to Dr. Manhas, Pastor Edgar Unrau, Ladysmith Home Support, and Daina Allenby for your continual support, guidance and love not only for Lana, but our entire family. Please join us December 20th, 2014 at 1:00 pm at The Chemainus Calvary Baptist Church, 3318 River Road, Chemainus, BC.

She was an avid curler in the day and made many close friendships that lasted till this day. Mom kept her children involved with every kind of sport and was there to see it all. With five children she didn’t let any of them down between working and home she always had time for her kids to drive, cheer and console. Ella Hallet was a strong, independent woman and she always taught us the same values for which we will never forget. Many thanks to Dr. Galbraith, Dr. Reynolds and Acacia Lodge for their tender care and love they showed to our mother. Miss Me – But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no tears in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little but not too long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that once we shared Miss me – but let go. For this journey we all must take And for each must go alone It’s all a part of a bigger plan A step on the road to home And when you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your tears in their loving arms Miss me – but let me go “WE LOVE YOU MOM” A Celebration of Life to be held at the Lounge at Kerry Park Recreation Center, 1035 Shawnigan Mill Bay Road on December 13th from 12:00-3:00pm.

DOWN, Aileen Halliwell (nee Bishop) July 22, 1913 – November 24, 2014 Passed away November 24 at the age of 101. Predeceased by sisters Doreen and Kathleen, and by husband Bill (1994). Born in Bangor, Ireland, youngest of three rambunctious girls, Aileen moved to Canada with her family in 1922 and settled in St. Mary’s, Ontario. Her father was an organist, choirmaster and music teacher. Aileen was the athletic one, playing on championship basketball and softball teams, teaching swimming and enjoying racquet sports and golf throughout her adult life. Aileen lived in Toronto until 1970 when she finished her career as a legal secretary in the Attorney General’s office at Queen’s Park. They moved to Oak Bay to be near son Bob (Susan) and beloved grandchildren Ellery (Chari) and Murray. Not surprisingly, her advice for a long life was “keep moving.” She lived independently until she was 100, when her failing knees and eyesight kept her from hopping on a bus to town or going for long walks. Her style, her jokes, her ferocious card playing and her continued interest in life made her instant friends. Her family will miss terribly her love and support. Thanks to the compassionate staff at Cerwydden in Duncan for their gentle care in her last hours. There will be an open house on Saturday November 29 from 2 – 5 pm at 1226 Khenipsen Road in Duncan. FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES Condolences may be shared online at www.dignitymemorial.com HARPER, Margaret Alice (Willson) August 15, 1927 – November 22, 2014 With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Marg Harper, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She passed peacefully in her sleep at the Cowichan District Hospital. Marg was a long-time member and former Ladies’ President of the Duncan Curling Club, as well as a past member of the Cowichan Golf and Country Club and the Soroptomist Club of Duncan. She enjoyed playing cards and was an avid sports fan. Her curling career was highlighted with two trips to the Canadian Mixed Curling Championships. Marg was predeceased in 1953 by her beloved son, Laurie Glen Harper. She is survived and will be missed deeply by husband Glen Harper. Mom and Dad just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on November 8th. She is also survived by her children Glenda (Jim) Barrett, Bonnie (son-in-law Huli) Segger, and Cathy (Barry) Waters; her grandchildren Lisa (Erik) Madsen, Brea (Todd) Howard-Segger, Jen (Norm) Segger, Jason (Diane) Waters, and Chris Waters; great-grandchildren Liam Madsen, Ela and Oliver Howard-Segger, and Kiel Hann. Her family was her pride and joy. Special thanks to Dr. Paul Watson and the caring staff at the Cowichan District Hospital. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Glen Harper Curling Club, 3191 Sherman Road, Duncan, BC on Saturday, November 29th, from 1:00 – 3:00.

Born in Kingwell NL, Marion grew up in Corner Brook where she met and married George in 1960. He told her from the start that he intended to move to BC and they headed west in 1965. After brief stops in Brampton and Prince Rupert they landed in the Cowichan Valley in 1966. Marion loved camping, walking, golfing and spending time with her grandchildren. She was a long time member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Duncan Branch, and was a Past Provincial President as well as Past Pacific Northwest President. Marion spent countless hours volunteering in the kitchen catering events at the Eagles Hall to raise funds for charities supported by the ladies’ auxiliary. The family wishes to thank Dr. Gilbert, the staff of Sunridge Place for their support and care of Marion during the last year and a half and the staff at Sherwood House prior to that. A celebration of life will be held at the Eagles Hall, Boys Rd, Duncan on Friday, December 5 at 1 pm. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made in memory of Marion to the Alzheimer Society of BC.

IRVING, Lawrence Crawford (Larry) It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Larry at the Chemainus Health Care Centre on November 22, 2014, with his family at his side. Larry was born March 20, 1943, at the Chemainus General Hospital. He was predeceased by his father H.E. (Mannie) Irving (1987) and his mother Julia (Judy) Irving (1989). Larry was a beloved brother of his sister Janet Roach (Barry), brothers Lynn Irving (Irma) and Dale Irving (Kathy) and special cousin Sharron Cathey. Larry is also survived by nieces Rhonda Newell, Sandra Phelps (Wes), Kimberley Worrall (Greg), step-nieces Glenda Roach and April Roach, nephew Jordan Irving (Kristy), great-nephew Max Newell, great-niece Elena Julia Worrall and step-great-niece Atisha Roach Lloyd. Larry worked for more than 20 years for MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. at the Chemainus Sawmill and for more then 20 years for I.L.W.U. Local 508. Larry’s passion was sports, in particular, baseball, the Canucks, B.C. Lions, Horse Racing and the Olympics as well as politics and world affairs having a vast knowledge of all. Larry was honoured in 2013 by being inducted into the Cowichan Sports Wall of Fame for his voluntary contribution to baseball by playing, becoming a B.C. Commissioner, coaching and umpiring. Larry will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Special thanks to Dr. D. Gee and the medical staff and volunteers at the Cowichan District Hosptial and Chemainus Health Care Centre for their exceptional care over these past months and to our dear family friend, Patricia Sunderland, for her comfort and support to Larry and the family over these past difficult months along with her special “puppy boy” “Osito” who always brought a sparkle to Larry’s eyes. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, 2816 Henry Road, Chemainus, BC, on Saturday, November 29, 2014 from 1- 3 PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating blood in Larry’s memory. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

DCS second in Island junior boys’ volleyball Making history: Brandsma’s boys reach for the top of their games throughout a tough tournament Don Bodger

Chemainus happy to contend

No grand illusions: After getting whipped in its first game, volleyball squad plays tough

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

reat expectations didn’t even enter the thoughts of Chemainus Secondary School players and coach Andrew Easson heading into the provincial A senior boys’ high school volleyball championships at Abbotsford Christian. They were just happy to be there. “I think the wishful thinking was that we would finish in the top eight,’’ said Easson. “Realistically, just not last.’’ And Chemainus attained the latter goal by avoiding last and placing 11th in the 12-team event after winning its final match over Carver Christian 25-23, 23-25, 15-7. “It was a great experience,’’ said Easson, who did a rapid-fire assembly to get a team ready without the benefit of a league game for the

Island tournament that it won to advance to the provincials. “It’s great to have other volleyball programs in the valley,’’ he added. “Next year, Duncan Christian School will have a decent team and we’ll have a decent team.’’ “It was a good learning experience for all of our guys,’’ said Zach Diewert, one of just three players from the 10-member squad who’s graduating. “Chemainus doesn’t have much provincial experience. It was nice to see what’s out there for volleyball. “I loved it, even though we got kicked around a bit.’’ Chemainus started tentatively with an 8-25, 9-25 loss against Mount Sentinel. “That was our first match and the guys were fairly overwhelmed by the experience,’’ said Easson. After that, the players settled down and put up a good fight against highly-regarded Credo

Christian, losing 19-25, 20-25. “It made us feel like we could compete against them, almost beating the top seed,’’ Diewert indicated. Credo went on to place fourth and host Abbotsford Christian finished first. Chemainus rounded out pool play with losses against Fernie (14-25, 22-25), Kelowna Christian (25-19, 17-25, 5-15) and Bulkley Valley (16-25, 16-25). In consolation play, Chemainus fell to Cedars Christian 18-25, 1825 before its big win over Carver. “We had a great group of guys,’’ said Diewert. “We didn’t have the most skills, but we had a lot of heart.’’ “For having four weeks before the provincials when the season actually started, to go through provincials and actually compete with some of these teams was an accomplishment,’’ added Easson.

Capsule Comments

t’s not too often you find a scientific textbook that was written 156 years ago and is still in print. The book is Gray’s Anatomy (not the TV show), written in 1858 by Henry Gray, a London doctor and surgeon. The book is in its 40th printing and is still used by the medical community today. The amount of weight a pregnant women gains is proportional to her normal body weight. A rough guideline is: if you are underweight (BMI less than 18.5), weight gain should be 28 to 40lbs, normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9), 25-35lbs, overweight women (BMI 25-29.9), 15-25lbs, obese (BMI 30+), 11-20lbs. However, if you are unsure about weight gain, talk to your doctor. It’s that time of year again when we become more aware of passing on viruses and bacteria to our friends and family. Shaking hands has become so much a part of everyday life but it can be a source of infection transfer. Ideas suggested as a substitute include fist or elbow bumping or even a bow. Hard to change ingrained habits but it’s worth considering. We have vaccines to protect against Hepatitis A and B but none for Hepatitis C. Baby Boomers (born from 1945 to 1965) show the greatest rates of Hep C because they may have been infected in the 70s and 80s when rates of Hep C were high and blood wasn’t screened as well as it is today. If you think you’ve been exposed, you can be tested.

uncan Christian School’s junior boys’ volleyball team made history at the Island championships in Courtenay. Under the direction of coach Jim Brandsma, DCS earned a silver medal for the school’s highest finish ever in the tournament. “At the beginning of the tournament, I told the boys that we should be in the final on Saturday and they deserved to be there,’’ noted Brandsma. “The boys had their ups and downs on Friday, and we came second in the pool which meant we had to play a 9 a.m. game Saturday morning.’’ But that’s when the boys simply rose to the occasion. “Our semifinal and final were the best five games that we could play and fell just a bit short,’’ noted Brandsma. “All the boys worked hard throughout the year to help get our team to this point and this was something we talked about

at the beginning of the year as being one of our goals. “It was very rewarding to be working with a good group of guys who work hard and give more when more is asked of them. It was truly a memorable season.’’ DCS won its first match over Oak Bay 25-20, 19-25, 15-12 and then met the eventual tournament champions, Mark Isfeld, and lost a very close match in three sets 25-16, 14-25, 7-15. Pool play concluded with a 26-24, 2516 victory against Ballenas. In the quarterfinal against Woodlands of Nanaimo, DCS prevailed 25-12, 2523 for the right to face Pacific Christian of Victoria in the semis. DCS won that battle 25-22, 21-25, 15-13 and then played a rematch against Mark Isfeld for the title. DCS gave its all but fell 19-25, 21-25. Put in perspective, though, the boys couldn’t help but be elated with their superb performance. Mike Brandsma and Adam Kapteyn were selected to the Island tournament all-star team.

he abundant field hockey talent in the valley is on display every Sunday during Cowichan Indoor Hockey League games at the Island Savings Centre. Mostly young players, but a few oldtimers, are split onto the league’s six teams. The opening game last Sunday was a high-scoring affair, as the Cyclones blitzed the Blizzard 10-8. Melanie Robertson scored five goals for the winners, with Kealey Watson and Kelsey Goodman each adding a pair. Olivia Burton connected three times for the Blizzard. Breanna Ellison and Jenna Berard each tallied twice. The second game of the day brought an 8-5 victory for the Hurricanes over the Lightning. Chelsey Cleemoff had the hot hand for the Hurricanes, scoring four goals in a row at one point. Sophia Murray, Helen Brancato, Candis Haslam and Hannah Murray got into the act with singles. Anika Kushner (2), Jillian Wallace, Brittany Smith and Marina Ellison scored for the Lightning. The Tornadoes ran away with a 13-5 win over Brentwood in the final game of the day. Sara Lowes had five goals for the winners, Ashlyn Toljander

Brancato replied twice for the Hurricanes. Toljander had three more goals in the win over the Blizzard. Ellison sparked the Lightning with three goals. The previous week, Tornadoes doubled the Cyclones 8-4, Hurricanes nipped the Lightning 4-3 and Hurricanes beat the Blizzard 6-4.

owichan Rugby Club’s First Division men scored a thrilling 17-15 come-from-behind win over Nanaimo Saturday. “The game started off as a bit of a defensive struggle with both teams’ offences sputtering to get going,’’ noted Cowichan coach Gord McGeachy. Cowichan chose to run the ball deep in its own end at the 20-minute mark but it backfired and resulted in a Nanaimo converted try. Cowichan equalized just before the half on a Scott McLeod try and Owen Wood conversion. Cowichan went ahead 12-7 on a Jenner Teufel try in the second half but Nanaimo tied it with 15 minutes left and went ahead 10 minutes later on a penalty kick. Cowichan secured two penalty kicks right after that, but missed both. The game went down to the wire and Cowichan won a penalty, electing to go for the win instead of a tie, and it paid off with a Mike Roberts try on the last play of the game. The Cowichan women beat United 58-17 while the U18 women took the Island title over Velox and the U18 men presided 12-5 over UBC for Bowl honours.

owichan Valley Capitals finally won their first B.C. Hockey League game on the road this season Wednesday night. The Caps got strong goaltending from Lane Michasiw, who made 34 saves, and a timely penalty shot goal from Adam Osczevski to beat the Island Division rival Grizzlies 5-2 in Victoria. The Caps led 2-1 after the first period on goals by Ryan Burton and Sean Harrison and increased it to 3-1 after two when Rylan Bechtel scored his second of the season early in the period. The Caps were clinging to a 3-2 lead late in the game when Osczevski was awarded a penalty shot. And he beat goalie Michael Stiliadis for a much-needed insurance marker with only 2:44 remaining. Kade Kehoe completed the scoring into an empty net. Osczevski and Kehoe have added considerable offensive punch to the Caps’ lineup since being acquired from the West Kelowna Warriors. The Caps are on the road again this weekend with a pair of games in Powell River.
