FESTIVAL permit

Rock of the Woods public meeting Monday SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A public meeting related to a temporary use permit for a concert in Area E (Cowichan Station/ Sahtlam/Glenora) will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26 at the Eagles Hall. The promoters of Rock of the Woods, a successful music festival, have applied for a three-year permit to hold their event on an Irvine Drive property. Concert-goers have been supportive of the project, but neighbours have spoken out against the idea, raising concerns about noise, traffic and environmental impact — but also about the temporary use permit (TUP) process itself. Because the property where the

An artist’s rendering of the building proposed for the corner of Canada Avenue and Philip Street. [SUBMITTED]

festival has been held the last two years is zoned residential, a special event permit is required for the four days of the year when it takes place. Having been at the property two years already, an additional three years leaves residents feeling the venue is more permanent than temporary. They feel their concerns have been ignored. A public meeting held last January regarding Rock of the Woods’s 2015 permit attracted nearly 200 and people were spilling out of the doors at the hall in Glenora. The move to the Eagles Hall will allow for more to attend and voice their opinions this time around.

A three-story, 12-unit apartment building has been proposed for the corner of Canada Avenue and Philip Street in North Cowichan and neighbours like the idea — well, most of it. “[It’s a] beautiful building if it looks like that in the end,” Philip Street resident Karen Chaster said. “All in all I’m just really not sure about the entrance.” She explained that the driveway to the new building is set to open onto Philip Street. She and other neighbours worry for safety as there’s a substantial hill on that road and visibility is already limited. They worry about the increased amount of traffic and increased density building would bring. “I think adding 12, at a minimum, owners trying to get in and out of that location is going to be a problem,” she said. “It’s just a big concern and I just wanted to make sure you’re hearing us on that. You’re

going to do what you’re going to do,” she told council. “We get that, but I wanted you to hear our two cents.” Long-time Philip Street resident Wilfred Annala complimented the structure’s design but had similar hesitations to Chaster. “Wow that is a beautiful building. I’m impressed. However my concern at that part of Philip Street…I really feel that the driveway entrance to this building should be on Canada Avenue. It is just going to be a real public safety item as far as I’m concerned. I’m not against the building, I’m mainly against the entrance.” E n g i n e e r D ave C o nway explained to council the staff’s investigation shows them an entryway onto Philip Street would be more practical than coming and going from Canada Avenue. “Canada Ave is an arterial road and our preference would be to reduce access points onto it. The current access is already on Philip Street,” Conway said.

“On balance Philip Street is a better location in our opinion. If we’re going to have some congestion the preference would be to have it [on Philip].” A single family dwelling currently sits on the 980-squaremetre lot. The new structure would feature two stories of living space atop a 17-vehicle parking lot in the front, and because it would be built into the side of a hill, the back portion of the building would appear to be just two stories high, but would technically be three stories. “Basically we wanted to be sensitive to the height of the neighbourhood,” architect Daryoush Firouzli said. North Cowichan council held a public hearing and then read for a third time, Wednesday, a zoning amendment application that would allow for zoning change and permit the development to progress. The property lies within the South End/University Village growth centre and so the change is in keeping with the long-term vision of the area.

There is no money left in this year’s school district budget to hire additional maintenance staff, the board of education learned. Back in April, the board had decided that if there was to be a surplus at year end, that staff report out in the month of September on “the suitability of amending the budget to provide additional custodial time in the 2015/16 school year and to provide one additional FTE to the Maintenance Operations Department.” In his report prepared for the Oct. 6 meeting, district secretary treasurer Bob Harper said, “while the district had an unrestricted surplus at the end of June 2015 of $991,126, the increase in enrolment this September has meant we have hired nine additional teachers at a cost of some $882,000 in order to provide for these students. “Additionally, we learned that we have an unexpected $244,000 expenditure in 2015/16 for our share of the Next Generation Network costss.” “Quite bluntly put, these two cost pressures mean the district cannot afford to hire additional staffing in maintenance/ operations in the 2015/16 year.”

OUR VIEW

Only the gutless abandon their pets in bush

eople who abandon pets or other animals on roadsides, in woods or other rural settings are gutless. One can only hope karma is a real thing and their actions come back to bite them. This kind of abandonment is especially cruel for domesticated pets who have had their food served to them in a dish their entire lives. Some of them have even been indoor pets and have seen the outdoors only through a window. And yet what we hope to be a small subset of pet owners

remain somehow convinced that these pampered pooches, kitties, bunnies and hamsters will somehow get out in the wild and thrive. The truth is that they will be lucky to even survive. It’s much like abandoning a child out there and just expecting unused instincts to save them. It’s not going to happen. Don’t get us started on the bozos who decide to get a parrot or other exotic bird that’s likely to outlive them, as their lifespans can be well over 100 years, then have no plan for what will

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

happen to the bird after they die. Or decide a few years in that they’re tired of the responsibility they’ve taken on. Because getting a pet or farm animal is a responsibility. It’s a long-term commitment. If you have any doubt at all you should never take it on. Dumping your pets like garbage in rural areas is a despicable and selfish way to resolve your pet ownership woes. It’s particularly galling since there are so many options for people to responsibly send their animals on to a new life with someone else if they find that

they no longer want them, or can no longer care for them for some reason. There are animal rescue organizations that will take in your pet and find it a new home. In the case of the abandoned chickens this week at Paldi there are plenty of people who raise fowl and would be thrilled to take home some free birds. The regular chicken swap in Duncan is only a few weeks away. In most cases we never know who abandons these animals. But the perpetrators know, and we hope it haunts them.

I found it completely inappropriate that some CVRD area directors and other are councillors took advantage of a photo op to endorse NDP candidate Alistair MacGregor in the Oct. 19 election. The general public does not get this same opportunity and it seems to me that these folks were elected by their constituents in the Valley to deal with issues and concerns in their respective areas, not take advantage of their position for political posturing. I did not vote for my area representative to then go on to endorse publicly Mr. MacGregor. It is these kind of optics that leave a bad taste with the general public. I understand their intentions, but it requires some sober second thought.

After congratulations, Justin Trudeau faces demands from provinces We need electoral reform in Canada Re: Our voting system Many have stated that the Harper Conservatives wrongly held a majority with less than 40 per cent of the popular vote and pointed to that as an example of a basic problem with the current first past the post (FPTP) electoral system. We note now that the present Liberal majority victory similarly is based upon less than 40 per cent of the national vote.

184 that they won) Conservative — 108 (instead of 99) NDP — 67 (instead of 44) Bloc Quebecois — 16 (instead of 10) Green — 12 (Instead of one) That would have produced a Liberal minority government, with the Conservatives, along with NDP, BQ, and Green parties having some power to represent their constituencies and influence legislation accordingly. As it is now, with the results of a first past the post election, those parties must largely sit on the sidelines and watch the Liberals govern as they will, with little effective opposition. Perhaps now that the tables have turned, Conservatives who defended FPTP, having been

satisfied that it had worked in their favour, will think differently about that and begin to think, along with others, about a more fair and representative electoral system. For the 60 per cent of voters who voted not for Liberals, there must be some sense of injustice inherent in a procedure that has resulted in majority power for a party supported by less than 40 per cent. And such a sense of injustice is best shared by everyone, so that, regardless of political leanings, people of various interests might work together for a more fair and representative system, in the ways of respectful cooperation, rather than winner-takeall dominance. With proportional representa-

Hearty congratulations to the voters of CVRD Area E for soundly resisting the bullying by their director and the CVRD board and staff trying to force them to pay new and extra taxes for the North Cowichan pool. Most Area E residents do not use that pool. When the CVRD board wants to hide a new tax on residents they use the Alternate Approval Process (AAP), a negative billing option that is illegal for use by the private sector in Canada, to force new taxes on taxpayers. Under this system you are forced to accept a new tax unless you submit a written objection. Fortunately Area E residents were alert and gathered twice as many objections as needed to stop this fiasco that is always used to avoid a real vote by taxpayers in a referendum. The CVRD has successfully used this nasty, undemocratic AAP process more than 50 times in the past to raise taxes forever without a referendum. Once the tax is in place the board simply increases it over time and the result is an ever increasing huge tax bill that no one ever voted for. Right now the CVRD is doing it again forcing ALL the taxpayers in the Valley to pay for another new tax on their homes to support the arts and culture special interests. That tax will raise

more than $130,000 per year unless more than 6,000 taxpayers send in their forms objecting to the process. These can be found at www.cvrd.bc.ca/ DocumentCenter/View/67342 and must be in by Nov. 18. In the complicated and difficult to understand AAP advertising for these unfair tax increases the CVRD confuses the public by using a tax rate per $100,000 of assessment rather than identifying how much the new tax will cost the average taxpayer or telling them this is a new “forever” tax. In comparison to the $79 million spending by the CVRD each year the amounts in the now rejected Area E pool tax and the planned Arts and Culture tax total less than $200,000 per year. There is more than enough waste in the CVRD empire that the board could easily find that amount to fund their pet projects rather than taking an entitlement attitude to taxpayers’ wallets. All tax increases should be subject to referendum using new online voting processes to minimize costs.

Justin Trudeau as PM Jean Chretien all over again Bogus to say that since the federal Liberals won the federal election that we now have a Trudeaumania Two. It is more like Jean Chretien all over again. You can be sure that young Justin Trudeau will be following orders from Jean Chretien and Paul Martin. Unbe-

lievable, but don’t complain, that is what the majority of Canadian taxpayers voted for. Now that the federal government will be back into deficit Liberal budgets, do the same with your own personal budgets. Cannot afford that new car? What the hell, go buy it on credit. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Re: “Is recycling really better than trashing it” (Oct. 20) It is important to clarify aspects of “Is recycling really better than trashing it” from Oct. 20. Multi-Material BC (MMBC) stewards — the retailers, manufacturers, and other organizations that sell or provide packaging and printed paper to B.C. Residents — finance the MMBC residential packaging and printed paper recycling program through fees they pay based on the amount and type of packaging and printed paper they distribute or supply to B.C. residents. Through agreements with local governments, First Nations, and private collectors, MMBC uses stewards’ fees to finance curbside, multi-family, and depot collection programs throughout the province, including in the Cowichan Valley. MMBC does not collect fees from residents or from any level of government to operate the program. Juice containers and their deposit and recycling fee, provided as an example in the article, are part of a different stewardship program, and are not managed by MMBC.

MMBC’s 2014 annual report, available on the MMBC website, includes financial statements and reports on the metrics required by the B.C. Ministry of Environment. In the first seven-anda-half months of program operations, MMBC recovered 80 per cent of the material reported by MMBC stewards. Of the material recovered, over 93 per cent was managed by recycling, with the remaining material sent for disposal because it did not meet recycling end-market specifications. Residents in the Cowichan Valley can be proud that they exceeded the provincial recovery rate per person (27.5 kg) for a recovery rate of 37.9 kg per person, one of the highest rates in the province. Finally, the article raises the question of greenhouse gases. Beginning in 2018, MMBC will start to establish metrics and a tracking system for greenhouse gas emissions associated with its program. This timeline is outlined in the program plan approved by the Ministry of Environment and available on the MMBC website.

Petition signed by this Area E pool user: here’s why Thank you for your coverage of the recent Area E issues regarding funding of the Aquatic Centre. As an Area E resident with two school age children who love the pool, I would like to share my perspective for why I signed the petition, and encouraged others to do so as well. First, the suggestion this was about a regional recreational strategy rang false considering Area E was the only part of the region being tasked like this.

Time for real conservatives to rebuild their party Oct. 19 was a great day for real conservatives (progressive conservatives) as the purging of the Alliance, Reform element is well underway, congratulations. Please beware of rigidity as that is partly what sank the Titanic so quickly, that along with the arrogance and sailing blindly full speed ahead. The fast sinking was added to by the high carbon content in the steel as it makes the steel stronger but brittle and it will shatter instead of bend a little. Likewise a tree that bends and sways in the wind withstands the wind better than a rigid one. The NDP went overboard. To balance a budget in the first year without knowing the extent of the mess they may inherit

Second, we are quite happy to pay our fair share, and have no issue with a supplementary per-use fee. Third, nobody — literally, nobody — came to our part of the community to make the case for accepting the proposed tax hike. And finally, I will on principle sign virtually any petition that negates a tax increase created through the AAP process, as I view the process as fundamentally stacked against residents. Damir Wallener Sahtlam

is presuming much. A promise of $4.8 million for First Nations education over eight years with over 600 reserves comes to about $1,000 per year per reserve; peanuts. Perhaps Canadians are getting the idea of democracy and don’t want to be slaves to enrich the top one per cent, or live in fear, or be kept in the dark about our governance, or how our tax dollars are benefiting us, or not. The real test of a governing body is how well they hear the people and respond to the people’s needs and wishes. A note to the real conservatives if you’re looking for a real conservative agenda, the Green party is the best bet to get away from the corporate autocracy of our last government. John A.

Work to improve summer water flows has support: Lefebure CVRD SEEKS, From Page 1 The AAP information says affected residents include the whole of the City of Duncan, the whole of the Town of Lake Cowichan, portions of the District of North Cowichan, Electoral Areas B (Shawnigan Lake), D (Cowichan Bay), E (Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora), F (Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls) and I (Youbou/Meade Creek). Should the AAP pass, those residents could see a maximum tax hike of $2.65 per $100,000 of residential assessed value. “That one is really essential to our maintenance of the dikes going into the future,” Lefebure said. A second AAP would see the establishment of a watershed management service. It involves a maximum tax hike of $9.13 per $100,000 of residential assessed value for residents of the whole of the City of Duncan, the whole of the Town of Lake Cowichan, portions of the District of North Cowichan, Electoral Areas B

(Shawnigan Lake), D (Cowichan Bay), E (Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora), F (Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls) and I (Youbou/Meade Creek). The watershed management service has been a main topic of discussion amongst local governments ever since community group One Cowichan raised the profile of the issue and the CVRD board began to investigate the far reaching impacts of the Cowichan River running dry, Lefebure said. “The board actually applied for twothirds funding from the Strategic Works grant funding to do a project to raise the weir and store more water so that we could have more water to help the flows in the Cowichan River, but we need a place to actually receive that money and we couldn’t proceed with the project if we were given the grant without a CVRD function to receive the money,” Lefebure explained. He believes there’s significant community support about that particular issue.

For more on the topic of AAPs, see a letter by Bill Woolam on page 7 and guest column from CVRD Area I (Youbou/Meade Creek) director Klaus Kuhn on page 25.

Jon Lefebure, CVRD chair “Of all the things that I’ve dealt with at the CVRD, I’ve had more people call me or email me about the critical state of the Cowichan River and the Cowichan watershed. This is just doing our homework to make sure we have a function in place to actually do work on that water system,” he said. “And it goes beyond the weir. We would like to be able to consider non pointsource pollution issues, groundwater connection to the river and the watershed, water quality issues, so it’s a function that would allow us to raise some money but also allow us to accept grants and actually do projects.” But the hit to property owners is not a light one. “That is significant,” Lefebure said.

“People will have to recognize that it is an upper limit on what we could do to raise funds for projects. That isn’t in the budget nor is the intention necessarily to raise that amount of money.” Water issues aside, a third AAP has been announced by the regional district. If adopted, the Arts and Culture Initiatives Service Establishment bylaw would authorize the CVRD to tax up to $130,000 per year for the purpose of establishing a service to support arts and culture initiatives and programs within the regional district. The maximum cost to all residential property owners within CVRD would be $.85 per $100,000 of assessed value. “Spread out over the entire regional district, that’s not a large amount of money,” Lefebure said. “There was quite strong board support for that. That comes from a belief that if you invest in arts and culture that you get a many-fold increase in economic activity in the community. It’s not a big one but we think that’s a really good investment in our community.” Should eligible residents wish to submit elector response forms, they are available online (at www.cvrd.bc.ca) and from the CVRD offices at 175 Ingram St. in Duncan. The original signed forms must be returned to those Ingram Street headquarters. Faxed or emailed forms will not be accepted. The deadline to submit elector response forms for the arts and culture AAP is 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 18 while the deadline for the other two is 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 2.

MS community upset over office closure LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Closing the MS Society’s Duncan office is not going down well with Valley Society members. The group will continue to occupy its current space — #204394 Duncan St. — until Nov. 30 when it will change the way it operates its Cowichan services, according to Todd Abercrombie, regional director of the Society’s British Columbia & Yukon Division, based in Victoria. “It’s a sign of the times for us,” he said. “We’re facing budget constraints and we’re just not able to really afford to maintain that office.” The announcement led to a meeting in Duncan on Oct. 14 between local members of the Society and representatives from Victoria but although it gave Cowichan folks a chance to air their frustration and concern, it didn’t appear to change things, according to Cindy Savery, who has found the Duncan office a life saver over the past 12 years. “We’re not happy about the office being closed in Duncan. To have an actual place for people to go is so important. One lady who works there has been there 20 years. “All this stuff we’ve done to make it a society locally, to have this person there to help people walking in off the street, or to help in general, that’s gone now. We won’t have that at all,” Savery said. Local people with MS find that an actual storefront where people can come in is of vital importance. “We think so, and that’s why we did it. I’ve only been involved for 12 years but there are people who have been doing it for 15-20 years.” “We worked really hard to make

Fundraisers like the MS Walk and the Grape Escape Bike event are just a small part of what the local Cowichan office offered to people in the Valley with MS. [CITIZEN FILE] a nice place where people could just come in and talk. Do you know, when I was first diagnosed, over 22 years ago, I was scared. I didn’t know anything about MS. The first thing I did was walk into a Society office and it was a life line, a life saver for me. Now I’ve been giving back,” she said. The friendly group formed around the office has led to some real successes like the MS Walk and the MS Grape Escape tour. “And now we’re almost burnt out. They say overall there is a lack of money so they are cutting down a whole bunch of offices.

For us, it’s a poor thank you for our effort,” Savery said. The MS Society has a big reputation for fundraising in the Cowichan Valley. “We raised over $70,000 at the MS Walk [this year] and then in the MS Bike Tour there was over $300,000 that we raised. But, Victoria is taking all the credit for the bike tour. Hello, it’s in the Cowichan Valley; we raise this money here. People come from all around to go on that bike tour. It’s a big thing now and Victoria’s taking credit for it.” Part of the problem is that the

Cowichan Valley Society chose to be part of Victoria’s group “because they had a lot more resources,” according to Savery. The group of people who visit the Society’s Duncan office reaches out into the community, too. “We go to the care homes at Christmastime and sing carols, and visit the people with MS to keep contact with them, and bring them presents. It was a big thing. It was really fun,” Savery said. That sort of thing is useful because no one wants to find themselves alone facing a diag-

nosis of MS. “It’s great to talk to people who are walking around, who can tell you what works for them. There’s hope there and it feels good. We do no judging there, we’re all in the same boat. It’s different for everyone but we all have the same disease, right? It’s a place to go for an hour or two to get away from your headspace.” Closing the office will be hard on the group, she said. “They say they’re going to find a place for us to go and meet. When we met with them last Wednesday, I got so upset I had to leave and walk up the street and cry for a little bit because, you know what, it’s a huge loss,” Savery said. Suggestions that the Victoria office could send someone to Cowichan are frustrating to hear. “We have an office, a client service person. If we needed equipment or anything we could talk to this person. Now that person is gone. They said, maybe we can pull someone from Victoria for a couple of hours on a Wednesday for you. I had to laugh. I don’t want to lose my friends. They are a lifeline to me, they really are. Having a place to go kept us all together. Now they are closing that down.” Savery said the wider community should know that members are unhappy about losing their Cowichan office. “I may not be able to do anything about it, but at least I can voice my opinion. “We need to be heard because a lot of people give to the Society and a lot of times will be told, half of that money comes right back to your chapter. It’s really sad. I’ve been working with the Society for a long time and it’s so helpful to see that people can actually do well and have a life,” Savery said.

Fundraiser aims to help women escape abuse LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

“My hope is that Cowichan will just say to these women and kids: ‘We’ve got your back!’” Fundraiser Kate Marsh is putting her back into promoting an extra-special gala for Cowichan Women Against Violence on Saturday, Nov. 7. It’s all about raising money to help procure a mortgage on a facility that would provide safe housing for women and children leaving abusive situations. Starting at 6 p.m., at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall, the gala offers the chance to enjoy great food with great people and then try to outbid them on some super auction items. The event starts with cocktails at 6

p.m. followed by a four-course gourmet dinner cooked under the auspices of imaginative Valley chef George Gates at 7 p.m. There will be a silent auction, a live auction at 8 p.m. and a 50/50 draw, followed by music for dancing provided by the band Rainwood Steel starting at 9 and continuing until 1 a.m. Tickets are $125 each and are available at www.cwav.org, Chemainus Village Computer Centre, Galletto Market & Deli in Crofton and at the CWAV office at 103-155 Ingram St. in Duncan. Marsh spoke about the gala this week and urged everyone to buy their tickets now. “It’s going to be incredible if we can go ahead. But, it’s Mellor Hall so we have

to sell 200 tickets or it’s not going to be worth it. And $50 from each ticket will be tax deductible.” The project itself is vital, she said. The ultimate goal is to have a 40-unit housing project for women and kids. The hope is they could eventually continue living in that area in other affordable housing. It’s about helping them build a more stable life. This fundraiser is the first step on that road. “You have to have a study to get money and it costs money to do anything. And the budgets [from higher levels of government] for women’s projects have been pretty tight for a long time so we need to act locally,” she said. Marsh has personal reasons for want-

ing to step up and help CWAV. “I have been one of their clients. I want CWAV to be out in front for women and kids. My vision is that the community would go: ‘Of course we want to help.’ And this is one of many events. This one is obviously not for everyone. Not everyone can afford a ticket like that. But we’ll probably have other dances for $40 and things like that as well,” she said. “I think the cost to our families is too much to not do something.” The plans for the new building would include secure housing for families, not like the transitional facility, Somenos House, that offers sanctuary from abuse. “It would be actual housing. When women and kids actually break free, it would offer transitional housing. Some of them may have been in [the current transition house] but not necessarily. And the abuse doesn’t have to be physical; there’s emotional, sexual and mental abuse. I’m not an expert in this but I’m sure they wouldn’t put women they think are in danger in a place like this. However, it will also be secure. Not just anyone is going to be able to get up there. “The bottom floor will be the Cowichan Women Against Violence offices, and perhaps some other non-profits. There might be some professional offices, some commercial space. That will help to pay for the building. Those details will be worked out, of course,” Marsh said. “What’s really important is we have really high stats in this Valley for abuse. We need to do something about it and this is one way to start. Of course, people are also free to donate directly to CWAV, too. They can do it monthly or whatever way they choose, whatever way they want to help. “The level of abuse in the Valley has a huge impact on families. Something happened to these men when they were boys to make them choose to take these actions now. This is all about the community saying, we’re going to help stop that cycle. We’re not only helping the women and kids, we’re helping the men by helping the women and kids.”

Story prompts woman to offer lamps All is not lost for Ruth Genereaux and her pink room. The 80-plus-year-old owner of Ruthie’s Roost Bed and Breakfast in Mill Bay clashed with the manager at the Norcross Return-It depot last week over a lamp Genereaux wanted that had been dropped off for recycling by another patron. Manager Jenn Crabbe refutes the wording and characterization of their exchange as conveyed by Genereaux, but does say the decision was made to withhold the lamp due to contractual obligations with its partners and liability concerns. But it left a hole in the pink room at Genereaux’s bed and breakfast, which she says surely would have benefited by the presence of the pink and brass lamp. But, another Valley senior has come out of the woodwork to offer an alternative lighting arrangement. Eleanor Gray has offered two pink and brass lamps to Genereaux in place of the one she lost out on. “I know they’re going to be headed to the thrift shop once I get through all of this stuff and I thought, well gee, maybe she’d like them,” Gray said.

A fellow recycling and thrift store enthusiast, the two women share a passion. That’s why Gray opted to reach out. “I just noticed this and I thought, dear love her. I’ve got things and I’m always taking boxes of stuff to the thrift shop,” she said. “I took these two pink lamps out of my bedroom about six months ago and they’re sitting downstairs and I know I’m never going to be using them again so I knew they’re going to the thrift shop and I thought, oh, maybe this is why I’ve been hanging on to them so long.” While agreeing it was a kind gesture indeed, Genereaux has decided not to accept the lamps. “I’m going to phone her and I will thank her and if she doesn’t have a home for them I have a list of people who are needy and I’m sure one of them would love them,” she said. “It’s not that I needed a lamp, but it was a beautiful lamp, about 24 inches tall and antique-looking,” she noted of the Return-It fixture. She maintains that lamp should have gone home with her. “It’s just a crime that some people are needing things and other people are smashing them,” she said.

Downtown Duncan is really the place to be for lots of familystyle Halloween fun Saturday, Oct. 31. Yes, Spooktacular Saturday is actually occurring on Halloween this year and local businesses and organizations are kicking it into high gear. In the downtown core, the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society will be partnering with the Cowichan Community Options Society to really put the spook in Spooktacular while keeping it all a fun, safe day out. Families love taking the kids trick or treating at downtown businesses who set up their baskets at 10 a.m. and hand out goodies until noon. The DBIA activities include the annual judging of costumes. The costume contest takes place starting at noon sharp in City Square. “It takes about an hour, and then we have a series of games,” said Mary Ann Hartley of the DBIA. “We always do pumpkin bowling and we usually do that mummy wrap, where they partner up and the little one has to wrap the parent or older one with toilet paper. It’s

Kids of all ages enjoy getting dressed in their costumes and doing some trick or treating in businesses around Duncan. [CITIZEN FILE] always worth a few laughs,” she continued. “We may also have a pumpkin seed spitting contest, and another one gives the kids a chance to find a little toy or some little treasure inside all the goop inside a pumpkin. Mostly the games are designed for ages three to 12. It’s all a little bit weather dependent, because if it starts raining hard, people don’t stick around. Little ones in costumes don’t do so well in the rain. But, if the weather’s nice we’ll just keep

adding the games on and could even go back to the traditional apple bobbing,” she said. It should be two hours of fun at City Square if all goes well, according to Hartley. The downtown candy crawl is always exciting, as it draws a crowd of costumed youngsters into the city core where everyone can enjoy the spooky but safe atmosphere and meet friends. There will not be a zombie walk held in combination with Spooktacular this year.

United Church sponsoring refugee family SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A family of four will call the Cowichan Valley its new home thanks to the congregation at Duncan United Church and a little help from the church’s friends and supporters. “We’ve been trying to sponsor a refugee family since the summer and of course there’ve been developments nationally and internationally since we began searching,” said Duncan United Church’s minister, Keith Simmonds. “And we’ve just received word that we’re going to be receiving a family here from Syria.” The mother, father and two daughters are currently living in a refugee camp in Lebanon but will make their way to the region possibly by the New Year. “We know that mom and dad are in their 30s and the two girls are five and six,” he said. “Dad’s a cook and mom’s a midwife and a nurse.” Safe and open arms await them in Duncan. “We know it’s been a really hard journey, especially for dad,” Simmonds said. “It’s been tough. Really tough.” The group has been working with Cowichan Intercultural Society to prepare for the family’s arrival, and will continue to work with the community group afterwards to help prepare for the transition. “They really help people come into the community,” Simmonds said. “We are talking with them about what we’ll do to help them integrate,” like helping them learn English and setting the girls up in school. Together with help from folks at St. John’s Anglican in Cobble Hill and Sylvan United in Mill Bay and some others in the community, a committee has been set up with various members tasked with supporting specific elements of the family’s new life. “Somebody needs to interface with the government and somebody else needs to make sure they get back and forth to different appointments. Somebody else needs to integrate with schools. Somebody else needs to help with basic things that would be normal for us but completely different if you come from a different culture, like getting groceries or how to hook up the various utilities.” The group is working on a long-term plan to help the family really settle and feel comfortable in the region. “Our role is to keep them close for a year and really walk with them for a year and after that they are supposed to be able to function more independently in the community so we have to get them ready for integrating fully into all the different things that we take for granted that somebody from the Middle East would be totally surprised by,” Simmonds said.

Duncan United Church, led by minister Keith Simmonds, with help from Cowichan Intercultural Society and other churches, is sponsoring a Syrian refugee family. [CITIZEN FILE]

“Fortunately they’re not moving to Winnipeg so they won’t have to get used to 40 below but it will still be different,” he said. As they get closer to arriving the committee will be looking for donations of clothing and various supplies. They are closing in on a house that should be available when the family gets to town. Infusions of funds are always welcome. “We have pledge sheets available at the church,” Simmonds said. “Our end of the sponsorship is about $30,000 and that includes the house and the furnishings. We’ll also need cash because we also have to provide them with some income for that first year too. The government is providing half and we are providing half, too.” The church is also receiving donations for a national campaign to assist refugees overseas. “We’re trying to help people where they are as well,” Simmonds said. “We’re raising funds to get food and other supplies right to Turkey where the biggest refugee camps are.” This isn’t the first time the folks at Duncan United Church have welcomed new members to the community. The last time was about 15 years ago. “Most of the people [who] were involved last time aren’t involved this time so it’s kind of new for us again with this particular congregation that’s here now but it’s something we need to do,” Simmonds said. “It’s the end of a longish journey and the beginning of a new one.”

his is the Chamber’s first regular column in the Cowichan Valley Citizen. We’ve dubbed it “The Chamber Voice” — an appropriate name, as the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce is considered the voice of business in the Duncan Cowichan area. These columns will feature issues that affect businesses in the Cowichan. We’ll share success stories of businesses thriving here in the Valley and we’ll introduce you to businesses that you may not know even exist. We will inform you of upcoming events and opportunities, and we will talk about economic development and tourism initiatives. First, let us introduce the Chamber. The Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce has been serving the business community since 1908. The Chamber is a membership organization. In 2015, we reached a milestone in building our membership to 450 members strong. We were recently recognized by our peers with a provincial Communication Award from the British Columbia Chamber Executives. We must be doing something right! Chamber membership is one of the best values in business today. With dozens of benefits, exclusive to members, and more being introduced all the time, the Chamber provides value and positive return on investment many times over. When we talk to current members about their reasons to belong, they cite networking, advocacy, benefits and savings. But the No. 1 reason you should join a Chamber is consumer confidence. “When consumers know that

a small business is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they are 44 per cent more likely to think favourably of it and 63 per cent more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in future.” (Canadian Chamber of Commerce) We invite you to join the Chamber — Cowichan’s most active business networking organization. Both businesses and individuals can join. Membership starts at $215 per year or $17.92 per month. Stop by our offices at the Cowichan Regional Visitor Centre, adjacent the BC Forest Discovery Centre, for a chat about how we can add value to your business. Or join us on Friday, Oct. 23 for our 3rd Annual Business Showcase at the Travelodge Silver Bridge Inn. We have a full day of networking, learning and engagement with the Cowichan business community planned. The exhibit area is free and open to the public. Guests are welcome to purchase seats at the morning sessions on market analysis and digital

CVRD should not take on responsibility for water woes KLAUS KUHN GUEST COLUMNIST

ho should pay for weir upgrades? Should the CVRD, and by extension the local area taxpayers, take on that ongoing responsibility and financial burden? Catalyst owns the weir and the necessary water storage licence. They use the vast majority of all surface water used in our Valley. The provincial government has ultimate responsibility for the water flow and the fish in the river, except for the salmon, which are under the federal government’s jurisdiction. So the responsibilities and authorities are pretty clear. The CVRD has no involvement at this time. It is felt by some people that, because the senior governments have not taken their responsibilities seriously, the CVRD has no option but to step into the void and take charge. But does the CVRD really have no other option? There is much discussion about recent “downloading by the senior governments”. Is it really downloading, if a senior

Klaus Kuhn, Area I director government neglects some of their responsibilities? Where is it written that local government has to step in and take charge? Do the local taxpayers expect the CVRD to deal with every pressing issue that arises, even if it is clear it has no authority or responsibility to do so? Local politicians are the ones most connected with their electors. They face criticism almost daily. It is no wonder therefore that they have a tendency to please the public,

which means they have a hard time saying NO. They want to be the good guys. Needless to say, that often results in higher property taxes. It also means that the tax burden gets shifted from a senior government, which has multiple sources of revenue to a local government, whose only major income source is property taxes. Also, senior governments’ revenues fluctuate with the economy. In times of an economic recession, there are cutbacks in spending. Local governments don’t have the kind of financial constraints that a slumping economy might provide. That, coupled with the reluctance to say NO to increasing demands, is a recipe for ever increasing property taxes. Property taxes are considered regressive, in that the local taxpayers have no option to avoid paying, unlike other taxation, like consumption tax, alcohol tax and gas tax, where there is an option to adjust the behaviour or consume less.

Work to raise the weir is necessary, but Klaus Kuhn says leave it to the province. [CITIZEN FILE]

Don’t step in for derelict senior governments If the senior governments neglect their responsibility with regard to the river, the salmon and the other fish, does the CVRD have to step in? If the Catalyst Mill has to close down for lack of water, does it become the CVRD’s responsibility? Where is the incentive for the senior government or Catalyst to live up to their responsibilities, if the CVRD presents itself as the fall back option? Bylaw 3930 was passed at a recent board meeting. It enables the CVRD, among other things, “to build, upgrade, inspect, operate and/or own a weir on Cowichan Lake.” Under this bylaw the CVRD can also obtain and hold water licences. This may trigger an annual tax requisition of up to $ 600,000. That’s $9.13 per $100,000 of taxable property value. Bylaw 3930 is subject to Alternative Approval Process that will end on Dec. 2, 2015. The new water licence is being labeled a Conservation Licence. That is misleading. The additional water is actually needed by Catalyst to keep operating despite summer droughts. Last summer is a case in point. The existing water licence stipulates that a minimum flow of seven cubic meters per second has to be maintained to assist the fish and to dilute the sewer outfall. In the last several years that flow has been reduced to five and 4.5 cms in order to stretch the supply of water through the dry summer months and to avoid a closure of the mill. This was arranged through a request to the provincial government. If the flow had been kept at seven centimetres through the summer, the Catalyst Mill would most likely have had to cease operations because the lake level would have been at zero storage. If the description of Conservation Licence is to be insisted upon, then what are we conserving? If we are conserving water for the fish, then we are doing something that is the responsibility of the provincial government. We have no jurisdiction when it comes to fish or the flow of the river. The weir was built in the 50s and that was when the rule curve, which dictates how much water can be released from the weir, was established. The climate has changed dramatically since the 50s. A new weir with a new rule curve (or rule band) are desperately needed. Of that there is no question. The question is, “Should the CVRD get involved with the ownership, operation or financing of the weir?” Are you concerned about the CVRD taking on ever increasing responsibilities? Are you concerned about increasing property taxes? You should be, after all it is your money. Klaus Kuhn is the Cowichan Valley Regional District director for Area I (Youbou/Meade Creek).

What makes us healthy? Expert weighs in A public health expert, Dr. Trevor Hancock, from the University of Victoria, explores the connections between the state of our community and our individual health Monday, Oct. 26 at 5:30 pm at the New Life Baptist Church at 1839 Tzouhalem Rd. What makes us healthy? Increasingly, evidence suggests that instead of doctors and hospitals, factors such as good housing, safe streets and public transit are more important when it comes to our health, he says. He’s been asked to the Valley by the group Board Meets Board Cowichan (BMBC). “Emphasis in the media and the recent federal election has been on the economy,” explains Leslie Welin of BMBC.” The economy is important, but it is only one factor that supports health in our community. We have invited Dr. Hancock to speak in order to investigate the underpinnings of a healthy community,” she said. The session explores these

questions and looks at transforming vision into action. Entry to the event is $16 per person, which includes dinner. Since dinners are pre-ordered, there will be no registration at the door. Preregistration is required through eventbrite: www. eventbrite.ca/e/gathering-ofchangemakers-what-businessare-we-in-growing-the-economy-or-growing-people-tickets18705880793?aff=ehomecard

SCIENCE Matters

Democracy is about all of us

’ve lived through many elections, but I don’t recall many in which emotions ran so high. In the heat of such a campaign, things get said, disagreements arise and tensions increase. Now that we’ve elected a new government, I want to commend Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau on his positive campaign and congratulate him on his party’s sweeping victory. I still think the new government has an opportunity to strengthen its climate change policies, but more on that later… We also have to thank the people from all parties who have devoted so much time, energy and money to serve the country, from the candidates, successful and not, to the volunteers, who believe enough in this country and its democratic traditions to give their all. Their families also deserve a lot of credit. Whether or not we agree with a candidate, leader or party and their policies, we can be grateful that they dedicate themselves to keeping our country strong and free. Most of all, I want to commend Canadians. Voter turnout jumped to more than 68 per cent — not perfect, but better than in some time. Canadians sent a loud and clear message that they want to live in an open, progressive country that promotes diversity, social justice, environmental protection and respect for First Peoples. Those of us who work in the environmental movement look forward to a renewed relationship with our federal government. We know our elected representatives won’t always agree with us, but we’re hopeful our new leaders will give us a fair hearing and respect that we’re all trying to contribute to making Canada a positive example for the world. The new government has its work cut out. On top of initial administrative duties, dealing with trade agreements and appointing Cabinet members, it will also be expected to prepare for the UN climate summit in Paris in December. As some people know, during the lengthy campaign I had a disagreement with Trudeau over his party’s climate policy. I still think his climate plans need to be strengthened, especially with clear and ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But I’m confident the new government will take this issue seriously, and I hope it will draw on the expertise of other parties and their leaders, who offered innovative proposals. I also hope they will consult with experts from the David Suzuki Foundation and other organizations, who have been researching and proposing viable solutions for many of the environmental challenges Canada faces, including ocean health, species and habitat protection, toxins and pollution and clean energy and climate change. No one is suggesting we should do an immediate 180-degree turn on resources and economic priorities. But it’s time to shift our thinking. Continuing to make fossil fuel extraction the country’s economic priority is a thing of the past. We can create more jobs and a stronger economy by ending fossil fuel subsidies, putting a price on carbon pollution, promoting energy conservation and encouraging the clean technology and clean energy sectors. We must also remember that the government is here to represent the interests of all Canadians — and not just those who voted for it. We’re the ones most affected by government policies. Corporate interests are important, but they should never outweigh the interests of citizens. So many Canadians got engaged with this election, holding conversations, watching debates, sharing information on social media and through letters to newspapers, volunteering and, finally, voting. The government has its work cut out, but so do we. A democracy is as strong as the people who make its values come alive, every single day. It’s not all up to the

David Suzuki politicians. It’s up to all of us to stay engaged, ensure our interests are looked after and work with people of all backgrounds and political stripes to make sure Canada continues to be strong, prosperous and free, with respect for diversity and the progressive values that have made Canada one of the best places on Earth to live. There’s a lot of work ahead for all of us. But right now, I want to say how proud I am to be Canadian, to live in a country where people care enough to make it work.

COWICHAN-KOKSILAH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN

COMMUNITY SURVEYS NOW AVAILABLE The following community surveys are now available for the new Cowichan-Koskilah Official Community Plan, applicable to Area E (Cowichan Station, Sahtlam, Glenora), a portion of Electoral Area F (Sahtlam), and a portion of Area B (north of the Koksilah River):

In 2000 it was granted formal heritage designation. Ten years later, with the original building’s centennial fast approaching, Koksilah School’s still lively volunteers saw to repairs and repainting of its exterior and fence in time for their annual picnic on the school grounds.

Another teacher of note was Margaret Evans, one of four generations of this family to be involved with Koksilah School, who attended Koksilah as both student and teacher.

One regret of Koksilah School’s longtime supporters is that the desks on display aren’t the originals, Society President Bob Vye explaining that the school district “took all the old desks...over to the park and burned all the hardwood off them to sell [the metal frames] for scrap”. His group had to “chase all around to find some. The school district had a few that they’d totally restored. They just looked like new.” Koksilah School operated continuously until 1964, was reopened briefly in 1970, then sat vacant. In 1986 former students held a reunion and later formed the Koksilah School Historical Society. Upon leasing the site from the school district, these dedicated volunteers who described themselves as being “lively but now aging,” acquired a grant to restore the interior and to replace the roof. In 1994 a parade marked the building’s 80th anniversary. Opened as a museum the following year, the historic structure

Notice of Application for

SHORT TERM WATER USE – WATER ACT (SECTION 8) Catalyst Paper Corporation, of #200 – 3600 Lysander Lane, Richmond, BC, V7B 1C3, has applied for a short term use approval to divert water out of Lake Cowichan which discharges into the Cowichan River which flows east into Cowichan Bay, and hereby gives notice of the application to all persons who may be affected. In late August 2015, Catalyst applied for approval to pump water out of Lake Cowichan into the Cowichan River for the fall of 2015 in the event that the river might start to run dry. Unusual late August rains recharged the lake and returned water flow to the river, ending the drought conditions. However, climate change impacts leave the river exposed to future drought as Lake Cowichan water storage is no longer adequate. Therefore, we are amending our application from the original period of Sept 28, 2015 – November 15, 2015 to the fall of 2016 and 2017.

Catalyst is applying for approval to pump water from the upstream side of the Lake Cowichan boat lock and weir (located near 300 North Shore Rd, Lake Cowichan) to the downstream side of the structure which will maintain up to 5 cubic meters per second of flow in the Cowichan River. Approximately 30% of this water will be used by Catalyst under its existing water licence, which authorizes water for the pulp and paper facility in Crofton and for domestic use by the Village of Crofton, while 70% will be used for conservation purposes to support fish populations in the Cowichan River. For 2016 and 2017, we intend to begin pumping if the lake level nears the bottom of the weir gates. Pumping will remain in place no longer than 49 days until rains recharge the lake so that it can naturally maintain at least 5 cms of flow into the Cowichan River. The maximum quantity of water to be diverted would result in a draw down on Lake Cowichan from 161.40 m GSC to 160.80 m GSC (23 inches maximum draw down) if the operation lasts for the entire 49 day approval window. For reference, the water level on October 13, 2015 was 162.03 m GSC. An independent, qualified environmental professional will monitor lake levels, any observed impacts and provide a bi-weekly report to regulators over the duration of the pumping operation. Further, a government approved environmental management plan will be in place before operations begin to ensure the process runs smoothly without any unforeseen impacts or spills. Catalyst Paper is open to hearing your comments and questions about this application. We are hosting an open house at the Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall at 309 South Shore Rd, Lake Cowichan on November 5, 2015 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. You may also provide feedback at contact.us@catalystpaper.com or in writing to Catalyst Paper, Box 70, Crofton, BC, V0R 1R0.

Big Brothers Big Sisters collect clothes for funds Big Brothers Big Sisters are launching clothing donation drop boxes that will be placed outside businesses to collect gently used clothing and linens. With the support of Rotary Club of Duncan and donations supplied by Home Depot along with volunteer hours, clothing donation boxes have been built. “We are very excited to be placing the clothing donation boxes out in our community and funds generated will support our mentoring programs,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Erin Generous. “The program helps to keep gently used clothing out of landfills while supporting local programming to support children and youth in our community.” The Rotary Club of Duncan, when asked to assist the Big Brothers Big Sisters in getting this worthy project off the ground, took the idea to the Home Depot in Duncan who were quick to join in with the materials to see the first five boxes built. “It’s great when you can bring together a service organization like our Rotary

The first box goes in at Island Savings. Club and a community minded business partner like Home Depot to make things happen for a group that has a need,” said Corrine Thompson, president of the Rotary Club of Duncan. “Many times it is not only about cash donations these groups need, but rather volunteer time and materials. Our club loves to be involved with projects like that that benefit our community.” On Thursday, Oct. 15 the first box was placed at Island Savings Chemainus

Branch. Community members are encouraged to visit the Island Savings branch in Chemainus and drop off gently used clothing items. Four additional locations will be revealed shortly, please check Big Brothers Big Sisters website at www.bbbscowichan.ca or Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Cowichan Valley Facebook page. Big Brothers Big Sisters are currently looking for an additional three locations to host these boxes. The boxes are on wheels and can be easily moved and placed in a dry indoor or outdoor area for the community to access during business hours. “We are thankful Island Savings, our In School Mentoring sponsor, is hosting the first box, and we appreciate their ongoing community support,” said Generous. “Without the support of the local Rotary Club of Duncan and the Duncan Home Depot we would not have been able to make this project come to fruition, for that we are very grateful.” To learn more about the Big Brothers Big Sisters Clothing Donation Program contact the office at 250-748-2447.

istoric Vimy Hall was the site of the Oct. 14 ceremony for the presentation of the South Vancouver Island District Women’s Institute Rural Woman of the Year Award to Denise Code of Duncan. Denise and her husband Bill operate one of the largest market gardens in the Cowichan Valley and are well known throughout Vancouver Island. Their market gardening enterprise operates from May until Thanksgiving and Denise is a very active participant in the business, through marketing, bookkeeping and the growing cycle. In addition to her work on the farm, Denise finds time to assist the produce manager of the Community Farm Store, offering counsel on the selection and packaging of top quality produce. Denise has served as a dietitian in the South Vancouver Island area, worked with 4-H groups, and is a member of the Somenos Women’s Institute. The Codes are well known for their efforts on behalf of agriculture and for their concern and activities in the health field, through speaking engagements and the preparation of health related materials for public distribution. As of March 2015, Denise is on the Organic Certification Committee of the Island Producers Association which helps to maintain standards among the 59 members on Vancouver Island. Denise is one of those community-minded citizens who make every effort possible to help their fellow citizens by using their expertise in all cases for the betterment of their locale. The Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), the international arm of the Women’s Institute, in a statement to mark Oct. 15, the official Day of Rural Women, commented, “Over the past 68 years, we (ACWW) have brought rural women’s issues to the United Nations in the areas of economic development, empowerment, education, health, domestic violence, human rights and social support. According to UN Women, women comprise on average 43 per cent of the agriculture labour force, but comprise less than 20 per cent of land ownership and are responsible for 85-90 per cent of household food preparation.” Following the presentation made by Donna Jack, president of the South Vancouver Island District Women’s Institute, and Jan Hardie, president of Somenos Women’s Institute, Denise and Bill Code, along with all the others present joined together for a “grown in the Cowichan Valley” luncheon. Our sincere congratulations to Denise on her many achievements!

Olympians reunite to row for Brentwood KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

History was made at Brentwood College School last Saturday as nine former Olympians and national team members spanning three decades of graduating classes and eight Olympics rowed one boat to victory in the second annual Brentwood-Shawnigan Alumni Duel. “It was fun, but it was also historical,” longtime Brentwood rowing coach Brian Carr said. “It’s something that might never repeat itself, having three Olympic golds, and three Olympic silvers over the span of eight Olympics in one boat, all from one high school.” Brentwood has sent 24 graduates to the Olympics, including 22 rowers, a remarkable legacy. “You’d be hard-pressed to find another high school on this planet that can beat that,” Carr said. The Olympic eights last Saturday included cox Tan Barkley (graduated 1983), a 1984 Olympian; Blair Horn, (1979), a 1984 Olympic gold medalist; Malcolm Howard (2001), a 2008 gold medalist and 2012 silver medalist; Dave Ross (1981) an Olympian in 1984 and 1988; Darren Barber (1987), a 1992 gold medalist and 1996 Olympian; Spencer Crowley (2007), a senior national team rower in 2013; Dave Calder (1996), an Olympian in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012, winning silver in 2008; Pat Walter (1977) an Olympian in

A crew of ex-Olympians and national team members mans the oars for Brentwood in last Saturday’s Alumni Duel with Shawnigan. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] 1984 and 1988; and Scott Frandsen (1998), an Olympian in 2004, 2008 and 2012, winning silver in 2012. The fact that such a storied group from such a long span of time was willing to come back and race for their high school shows the stock that graduates put into Brentwood’s rowing program. “It’s pretty remarkable,” Carr said. “It’s a real testament to the program we’ve created here. To come back and get to do it again is very special for these alumni.” The day also included senior boys and girls races, both won by Brentwood over Shawnigan. In

the showcase race, the “Olympic eight” edged the other Brentwood alumni boat by a nose, with the Shawnigan alumni placing third. The Olympians had to overcome equipment issues in their race, as Crowley came out of his seat early in the race, then later dropped his oar, but they managed to prevail. “The young guys [non-Olympians] were really giving it to win that,” Carr said. “They just got tipped at the end.” While none of the rowers in the other boat had been members of the Canadian senior national team, they weren’t without their

own accomplishments. “They were all guys who were solid Brentwood varsity rowers,” Carr said. “They were solid first eight guys when they were here. Some of them continued rowing after high school in university, but none of them were senior national team rowers.” This is the second year the two prestigious private schools have held the alumni race. Next year it will be hosted by Shawnigan, and Carr expects them to put together a similarly well-decorated crew, as 2016 will be the school’s 100th anniversary. “If they put together the same

kind of thing that we did, I’m looking forward to getting some of these kids back,” he said. Carr believes the Alumni Duel will get bigger with time. “It can only grow,” he said.” “This is the type of sport where you can come back. You don’t have to do a lot of training to do a 500-metre rowing race.” The races were followed by the christening of two shells: the J.L. Queen II and A.C. Carr VI, named for longtime Brentwood coaches John Queen and Tony Carr, co-founders of the Brentwood Regatta, and coaches of nearly all of the school’s Olympians.

Drama-filled split for U18 Mid Island Lightning KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The U18 Mid Island Lightning split a drama-filled field lacrosse doubleheader against North Island at the Cowichan Sportsplex last weekend. The opening game was called by the officials six minutes and 15 seconds into the second quarter with Mid Island leading 7-1. The North Island coach and three players were tossed from the game after the team racked

up 17 minutes in penalties to Mid Island’s four and a half before the game was halted. The teams managed to play the entirety of their second game. Unfortunately, eight Mid Island players were unavailable due to other commitments and the Lightning ended up on the wrong side of a 16-4 final score. The U15 Lightning also faced North Island on the road, winning both their games. Mid Island prevailed 9-0 in the

opener, getting two goals from Keegan Smith and one each from Robert Bowker, Sam Baxter, Teagan Cunnah, Dawson Webb, Ryan John, Hunter Hieta and Jazzy Shafi. Baxter and Caleb Nordstrom each had one assist. The Lightning won the second game 8-2. Shafi scored twice, with Hieta, Webb, Baxter, Brody Black, Darian Owen and Nathan Clark adding singles. Nordstrom, John, Shafi and Denton Macdonald chipped in with assists.

Alumni inspire Bulldogs but jinx Timbermen KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

They were facing the same team they had played just a week earlier, but the Cowichan Bulldogs looked vastly different when they took on the Vancouver Trojans at McAdam Park last Sunday. The Bulldogs came within a penalty of getting their first win of the season, but had to settle for a 38-32 loss to the Trojans a week after losing 52-6 to that same crew in Vancouver. “It was a little bit of playing at home with heart and intensity,” Cowichan coach Mike Williams said. The Bulldogs’ offence surged over the previous week’s performance, but it was team defence that Williams was most impressed with. “I was very proud of our defence,” he said. “It was much improved over last week. Schemewise, we were better positioned to make a play. It was definitely a team effort. Eleven of the players on our 17-man roster contributed with tackles on defence.” After battling the Trojans back and forth all afternoon, The Bulldogs appeared to pull ahead with two plays remaining. Unfortunately, the go-ahead touchdown — a shoestring catch by Dakota Cullum — was called back on a penalty to the offence. “It was a legitimate holding penalty,” Williams said. “That’s how it goes. It would have been nice to have a win, but it was a good building block. We turned a corner.” The Bulldogs were led on defence by Evan Kwasny who had six tackles and two assists. Kwasny also contributed on offence with eight rushes, including a 35-yard touchdown run. Cullum also came up big on both sides of the ball with two touchdowns — not including the

one that was called back — to go with three tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception. Cullum’s pick was one of three for the Bulldogs on the afternoon, as Cowichan also got one each from German exchange student Magnus Hansen and Kilion VennRyan. VennRyan also had three tackles on defence and two receptions on offence. Quarterback Carson Maertz connected on seven of 14 passes, and rushed nine times for 20 yards including one touchdown. The bantam Bulldogs and midget Timbermen played in front of about 30 Cowichan foot-

ball alumni, including members of the very first 1965 Cowichan Timbermen team. Many had also been present for the golf tournament the day before. CFL Hall of Famer Al Wilson made a speech at the beer and burger night following the tournament, and Wil-

liams thought his words might have contributed to his team’s success on Sunday. “A lot of parents took that motivational speech and passed it on to their kids,” he said. Midget Timbermen head coach Opie Williams joked that the

alumni may have had a negative impact on his team, which lost 34-7 to the Langley Stampeders. “I was told that the alumni lost every game their first year [1965] and I guess this bad luck rubbed off on us,” he said. “Every time we started to move the ball, we would have a fumble or an interception.” The T-Men were expecting a running game from Langley, and were caught off guard by a pair of deep passes early on. It also didn’t help that with defensive lineman Tyler Campiou and offensive lineman Tyler Hudson sidelined, most of the Cowichan linemen had to play both ways. Justin Young was on the field for almost every play. Mitch Hinton led the defence with six tackles, three assists and one fumble recovery. Derion Hughes surrendered Langley’s first big catch, but recovered nicely and finished the day with three tackles, a pick, a recovered fumble and a knockdown. The Cowichan defence gave up just one touchdown in the second half. The Timbermen offence did not adjust well to Langley’s blitzing linebackers, and Cowichan’s only touchdown was scored by Kain Melchior on an 85-yard touchdown return. Melchior finished with 61 yards rushing, Amish Dobson had 23, Hinton had 19, and Jake Borserio had five. Quarterback Braemon Conville went 4-for-8 for 33 yards. Ryan Miller and Derion Hughes both ran for 10 yards after catch. Neither team will be in action at home this weekend as the bantams take on Salmon Arm in Langley and the midgets have a bye. The midgets are holding a bottle drive at McAdam Park this Sunday to help cover busing costs. They will be there from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for drop-off or to arrange for pick-up.

James scores two in Piggies’ win KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A strong start and strong finish helped the Cowichan Piggies to a 37-17 win over James Bay last Saturday, but the First Division rugby team is still trying to iron out some kicking concerns. The Piggies played well to open the game, and were rewarded early on when Mike Rea scored a try about six minutes in. Five minutes later, Dan James scored the first of his two tries in the match. James Bay fought back after that to score their first try and make it 10-7, still in Cowichan’s favour. About halfway through the first half, Bruce Moss went over for Cowichan’s third try, with Jenner Teufel kicking the conversion to make it 17-7. Robbie McDonnell also scored to make it 22-7, and James Bay added one more before the end of the half. Although they dominated play, the Piggies only held a 10-point advantage at the break. “We scored four times in the first half, so you’d think we would be pretty comfortable,” head coach Gord McGeachy said. The Piggies put their lead on the line when they came out flat in the first 10 to 15 minutes of the second half, but managed to hold James Bay off. “We played decent defence,” McGeachy said. “If they had scored, that would have changed

Pat Large tries to break through the James Bay line during last Saturday’s 37-17 Cowichan win. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] the complexion of the game.” James got some momentum back for the Piggies when he scored his second try about 20 minutes into the half. Bays scored another try, and Cowichan capped off the win with a try from Kieran Lauridsen and a penalty kick by Andrew Gudmundseth. Although his team ended up winning handily, it troubled McGeachy that only five of the team’s points came from kicking. “Kicking continues to be an issue for us as it has been all year,” he said. “We’re leaving

lots of points on the field. We gave up 10 points in conversions and probably some more in penalty kicks. It’s not a big deal in a game like this, but when every point matters, we need to get that sorted out.” Cowichan will visit Port Alberni this Saturday for their second meeting of the season with the Black Sheep after a 25-25 tie earlier this fall. “We had five unconverted tries in that game,” McGeachy recalled. “Kicking was a big factor. Hopefully we’ll get that sorted out for this weekend.”

Struggling Cubs fall to Castaways KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan Cubs coach Marilyn Pugh felt her team was in a good position going into last Sunday’s Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association game against Castaways at Evans Park. Unfortunately, the team didn’t take advantage of it. “The game was ours to lose, and that’s what we did,” Pugh said following the Cubs’ 3-1 loss. “The first half was quite messy and the marking-up was lacking, giving Castaways repeated shots at our poor goalie.” If not for the terrific play of keeper Kerynne Bain, the score might have been a lot higher than it was, Pugh noted. The coach also commended Rachel Pugh for her hard work up front, putting pressure on the Castaways defence and trying to generate offence. “Melaina Patenaude and Colleen Bob should also be recognized for their strength on the back line and shutting Castaways down as much as they could,” she added. “Karli Stevens worked hard the whole game in middle mid and didn’t even get to have a sub. The second half looked much better than the first; no further goals were scored against us.” Seleana Jack scored the lone goal for the Cubs. At 1-2-1, Pugh admits her

Correction Notice to the Jody Starter obituary published on Wednesday, October 21st issue of the Cowichan Valley Citizen.

Starter, Jody Lynn

August 24, 1972 to October 16, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful daughter Jody Starter on October 16th, 2015. Jody was born in Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan. Her battle with Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease from the age of fifteen did hinder her dream of attending Scotsdale, Arizona to become an Interior Designer but her strength and determination did allow her to fulfill some of her dreams. Sharing an apartment with her sister in Victoria she attended Design School for a year and from there was employed at an Interior Design Company in Oak Bay, Victoria for a time. She also spent one year at Sprott Shaw College studying secretarial and accounting courses. Jody applied her accounting skills at Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vitamin Gallery health food for four years after returning to her hometown of Duncan. From a young age, Jodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of animals was apparent. No effort was too great when it came to saving an injured animal found on the roadside. As a young woman she somehow talked us (parents) into allowing her to have a horse named Frosty Bar on our one acre of land. That was the beginning of a life filled with equine species. In later years her passion for adopting rescue animals resulted in many four legged beasties residing at her and Joshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm including dogs, cats, goats and blind cows. The eight horses that still reside at the farm were never cared for better. Jody learned the ancient craft of Farriering (equine hoof care) and also promoted Natural Horsemanship involving holistic care of her animals and did all she could to spread the word. She was an outdoors type of gal, enjoying annual camping trips to Rathtrevor Beach and Tofino with her family, and at least two trips a year for skiing on Mt. Washington. Jodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate passion were her childrenâ&#x20AC;Śher love for her children knew no barriers, her love knew no law, no pity, it dared all things and crushed down remorselessly all that stood in its path. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 18 years, Josh Crawford, her two beloved children Aydan Robert Crawford-Starter and Jordanna Grace Crawford-Starter, her sister Penny Hender (Rod) and her mother and father Lynn and Robert Starter, her in-laws Ann and Bob Crawford, her Great Aunt Etta Boyd, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;auntieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Joan (McKee) and her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;auntieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fil and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Paul (Wiltse), four loving nieces, Jody Hender, her name sake, Emma Hender, Danna Manuel and Nadya Crawford, her extended family and many, many friends. A heartfelt thanks to Josh and his mother Ann Crawford. Because of their care Jodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes to remain at home until the end were fulfilled. A Celebration of Life honoring Jody will be on November 1st at 1 p.m. at 4388 Webdon Road, left off Old Lake Cowichan Road, first left off Riverbottom Road. In memory of Jody and in lieu of flowers a donation may be sent to any Animal Support Group of your choice. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com A light from our lives has gone A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our hearts That never can be filled. Addio mio angelo

FEDUN, Margaret Gilchrist (nee McMillan) â&#x20AC;Ś passed away peacefully in her sleep October 3, 2015 in Shawnigan Lake, at age 94 with family by her side. Born in her family home in Tangy, Kilchenzie, Scotland on June 10, 1921, Mom spent her first years in that home which adjoined her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smithy. She immigrated to Canada by ship (S.S. Athenia) from Glasgow to Halifax in December 1925 with her father, mother and two younger sisters. The family lived in Hilliers, then James Island (where her youngest brother was born), then in Victoria West. She went to school on James Island, Victoria and Sprott Shaw Business College. Survived by her son Neil (Irene); daughters Carla (Ken), Barbara (Don), Myra (Gary); grandson Steven; and special friend Bev. Predeceased by husband Steve in 2007; sisters Agnes and Helen; and brothers John and Archie. Mom married our Dad, Steve, in 1942 and they built their home in Shawnigan Lake where they raised their family. Mom ran the coffee shop in Shawnigan Lake in the early 1940s and became known for her baking and desirable food. The shop was eventually passed on to her sister, Helen. Mom then became the chief cook at Strathcona School for Girls, and later Cliffside School for Boys, where she deeply affected many of the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; young lives with her top-notch food. In the meantime, Mom also was skilled at making and decorating beautiful wedding, birthday and anniversary cakes, mainly made in her home and delivered to delighted customers. She also was able to make a mean pancake breakfast on a griddle placed over an open fire at all the family camping trips. Preserving food from Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden, fruit trees and salmon caught by family members ensured attractive year-round meals. Most people knew if they invited Mom to dinner they would be receiving her famous scones. Shawnigan Lake and the people who lived there during Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time were important to her and most community activities included pretty much everyone who lived at Shawnigan. The community put on important events such as weddings, concerts and dances, with everyone contributing their particular skill, often with Mom preparing large scale meals with aplomb. This made for very joyful events with huge participation. Mom enjoyed trips to California, Saskatchewan, Scotland, and spent some 35 wonderful winters in the warmth of Hawaii. All through these years she loved to dance and listen to music, and Saturday nights were reserved to go dancing. Many friends were from the dancing world and remained lifelong friends. Shopping was a hobby that she and Isobell excelled at and it was apparent they got a thrill from finding fine fashion bargains! Mom has received a dance invitation where she can dance to her heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content and reunite with family and friends that have gone before her. What a good, long life she had! A drop-in tea will be held at Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 from 2:00 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til 4:00 PM

I found Sandra to be very helpful and knowledgable about the vehicle i was interested in. We started communicating by email and she always got back to me promptly with any questions i had. When i was finally able to make it to the dealership to complete the deal everyone i dealt with including Sandra, the sales manager, finance manager, parts department and insurance gal were great. Overall it was positive gerryisagirltoo experience and i-would absolutely recommend island ford to anybody looking for a new vehicle.
