NDP’s MacGregor wins new riding LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Even as federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair made a subdued speech to supporters in Quebec, local NDP candidate Alistair MacGregor was being declared the winner of the new Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding, with a healthy lead over the other

four candidates.

Though his party’s seats in Ottawa were reduced substantially, and nationally the NDP’s results had to be seen as a disappointment, MacGregor was upbeat and excited by his win and the prospect of heading to Ottawa.

“The people of Cowichan-Mala-

hat-Langford have sent a clear message tonight,” MacGregor said. “You voted for change!

Rejecting the politics of fear and division, you voted for a better and more inclusive Canada. And that was a good thing.”

Speaking in person in Duncan and to his supporters in Langford

by Skype, he went on to assure

everyone, even those who had supported other candidates, that he was “going to fight for those values every single day.”

He thanked his team, “especially for keeping going when we were so tired, after an 11-week campaign.”

“I am deeply humbled by the trust you have placed in me

Newly elected Cowichan-Malahat-Langford MP Alistair MacGregor shares a hug with one of his supporters in Duncan. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Time to look forward, MacGregor tells crowd NDP’S, From Page 1 MacGregor’s arrival at Duncan Lodge enlivened the slightly subdued atmosphere that had reigned from the moment the TV pundits started predicting a Liberal majority.

Many long time supporters in the crowd were shocked at the turnaround in the country and distressed about the NDP losses, but were still pleased to see a change in Ottawa. Some were also happy that it looked like there was not likely to be another federal election soon — which had been a possibility in a minority government situation.

MacGregor looked back at the long campaign, and acknowledged the hard work of his opponents, Martin Barker, Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi, Luke Krayenhoff and Alastair Haythornthwaite. “It really was a privilege to campaign with them; we formed quite a camaraderie over the course of this campaign,� he said.

“I want to thank my campaign team for their hard work and dedication to our movement.

This was a very long haul and you never, not once, let me down, knocking on doors in the wind, the rain and the heat. This was a campaign that spanned two seasons and sometimes it almost felt like three. You staffed the phone banks, you cooked mountains of food, you put up signs and more signs. And then you put up more signs,� he said. “We know when the next election will be: it’s in four years.

That’s a lot of time to look ahead.

It’s going to make us more prepared than ever for the future.�

MacGregor had been led into the hall with drumming by First Nations elders Qwulshemut (Ray Peter), Tousilum (Ron George) and Herb Rice and following his speech, the elders led a performance of the traditional Cowichan Victory Song to celebrate the win.

Candidates reflect on surprise national results CITIZEN STAFF

Like in any race, there can really only be one victor, and while all the candidates worked tirelessly to represent their party platforms, only one MP could be elected.

With NDP Alistair MacGregor taking the winner’s mantle this time around it leaves Liberal Luke Krayenhoff, Conservative Martin Barker, Green Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi on the sidelines.

For much of election night second place swung between Krayenhoff, whose party swept to a majority government in Ottawa, and Barker, who saw his party pushed from power. “There were a few Conservative ships dashed upon Liberal shores tonight, and ours was one of them,� said Barker at his headquarters in Duncan where a small crowd had gathered to

watch the results roll in. “Congratulations to Justin Trudeau,� Barker said. “They ran a good campaign and the people have spoken.� “We really did well. I believe it was this red tsunami that washed over us. We never foresaw our Conservative support going so thoroughly to the Liberals.�

Conservative leader Stephen Harper had said before voting day that should his party lose he would step down as party leader. On election night party president John Walsh released a short statement saying Harper has instructed him to reach out to the elected caucus with the goal of naming an interim leader, though Harper himself made no immediate announcement about his future Monday night.

Barker said he was also surprised by the local results.

“The result here surprised me, not in the NDP victory, but in the numbers themselves.

The Liberal tide that washed over Canada also washed over Cowichan-Malahat-Langford.�

He took the time to acknowledge all of his competitors for the local seat. “My heart goes out to Luke, Fran and the other Alastair, [Haythornthwaite] because I know what goes into it,� Barker said.

Krayenhoff, who came into the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford race at the last moment following the resignation of Maria Manna, gave kudos to winner MacGregor. Krayenhoff noted, however, the Liberals made an impact in a short time. “The Liberals have made a strong showing in this riding,� he said.

Voter turnout soars in local riding SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Voter turnout in the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford was hovering around 74 per cent Tuesday morning with 13 polls left to report.

That tally does not, however, include voters who registered on election day, meaning actual turnout numbers will be higher.

While it’s not a direct comparison to the 2011 federal election, the number is up from both former ridings making up the new Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding.

In 2011, turnout was 65 per cent in Nanaimo-Cowichan and 66 per cent in Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca.

Nationally, voter turnout was 68.5 per cent — the highest in a federal election

since 1993. Collectively, B.C. exceeded that average with a 70 per cent turnout, putting the province in the middle of the pack on the national scale.

“Voter turnout did go up all across the country but higher here than elsewhere,” One Cowichan spokesperson Matt Price said Tuesday. “We hope we made some difference in that number and I think it was also a factor of voters being hungry for change.”

One Cowichan was registered with Elections Canada as a third party election advertising sponsor, with one of the community group’s goals being to increase voter turnout.

“We did talk to a lot of people and we also had a lot of people watching our videos on Facebook and we encouraged people to get out there and cast a bal-

lot,” Price said. “We’re happy.”

The lesson this campaign, he said, is that a new voting system is desperately required.

“A lot of people were torn between who they should vote for,” he said.

Electoral reform was included in the Liberal platform so, Price said, hopefully things will be different next time and people can vote for who they want, as opposed to who they feel they need to.

“Next time we hope to have a different voting system that doesn’t pit people against each other the way this one does,” he said. “We’ll be watching closely for that. We hope they follow through on that promise. I think that would increase voter turnout even more if people think the system is going to reflect their wishes.”

NOTICE TO ELECTORS WITHIN THE COWICHAN RIVER WATERSHED AREA OF AN ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS OPPORTUNITY FOR CVRD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT BYLAW NO. 3918 [Cowichan Flood Management Service]

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD), proposes to adopt “CVRD Bylaw No. 3918 – Cowichan Flood Management Service Establishment Bylaw, 2015 “.

BYLAW SUMMARY If adopted, Bylaw No. 3918 will allow the CVRD to requisition up to $150,000 per year to provide flood management within the Cowichan River Watershed Area. The maximum cost to residential property owners within the proposed service area with a residential property assessed at $100,000 would be approximately $2.65 per year, as set out in the table below. The complete bylaw is available for review at the CVRD office, located at 175 Ingram Street in Duncan BC, during regular office hours, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays. A copy of the bylaw is also available on the CVRD website at www.cvrd.bc.ca.

CALCULATION TABLE

Net Taxable Value (Land & Improvements) $100,000

Maximum Annual Cost Per Residential Property Owner $2.65

Number of Electors in the Services Area 26,212

10% of the Electors 2,622

ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS AND ELIGIBILITY The CVRD may adopt this bylaw unless at least 10% of electors within the regional district indicate that a referendum must be held by submitting a signed Elector Response Form to the CVRD office no later than 4:30 pm, Wednesday, December 2, 2015. The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the CVRD, and only those persons who qualify as electors of the whole of the City of Duncan; the whole of the Town of Lake Cowichan; and those portions of the District of North Cowichan, Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake, Electoral Area D – Cowichan Bay, Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora, Electoral Area F – Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls, and Electoral Area I – Youbou/ Meade Creek that are within the boundaries of the proposed service area are entitled to sign. Electors may qualify as either resident electors or as non-resident property electors, as follows: Resident Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a resident elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, and have been a resident in the proposed service area for the past 30 days or more.

Non-Resident Property Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a non-resident property elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, have owned and held registered title to a property in the proposed service area for the past 30 days or more, and do not qualify as a resident elector. NOTE: Only one non-resident property elector may submit a response form per property, regardless of how many owners there may be.

If less than 10% (2,622) of the area electors submit an Elector Response Form, the bylaw will be deemed to have the approval of the electors and the CVRD Board may adopt the bylaw. For the purpose of conducting the alternative approval opportunity, the number of area electors is calculated at 26,212.

7247969

Elector Response Forms are available from the CVRD, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC V9L 1N8, Phone 250.746.2500 / 1.800.665.3955, e-mail jbarry@cvrd.bc.ca OR on the CVRD website at www.cvrd.bc.ca

“We’ve got everything to be proud of,” Krayenhoff said.

Of his party’s national accomplishment, he added, “We had no idea it would be such a strong success. We’re just over the moon.”

While the pre-election polls hinted at the Liberals forming at least a minority government, he downplayed their importance.

Among the changes he said the Liberals plan on implementing is a change from the first-past-thepost system that essentially gives Western voters little chance on affecting the overall result.

“We’re going to look at all options, but we want one where people can just vote on principle more than being so strategic all the time.”

In fourth place Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi picked up a respectable vote tally with more than 10,000 marking their ballots for the Green candidate.

Alastair Haythornthwaite of the Marxist-Leninist Party was well behind with less than 300 votes total.

Hunt-Jinnouchi felt good about her own campaign and the people she was able to reach.

“I actually feel very proud of my team and how they were able to mobilize and get out our message of hope and standing up for the environment in a way that got people listening and starting to get involved,” she said. “My canvassing coordinator is only 18. I had people on my team that had never voted before. It was inspiring to see what we did accomplish.”

Nationally was another story.

“It’s very disappointing because we are at such a crucial time in Canadian history, to bring a Green perspective and voice to making decisions that are going to impact our future,” Hunt-Jinnouchi explained.

The way the campaign played out was less than ideal, with a “story of fear” leading to a “heave Steve” mentality and strategic voting, which may have affected the outcome for the Green Party.

“When I look at what’s happened, I feel that Mr. Trudeau ran a sincere campaign and people saw through the fear-mongering,” she concluded.

Haythornthwaite, too, noted the strategic vote.

“The election results show Canadians were fed up with Stephen Harper and voted tactically to deny him another mandate,” he said. “The Liberals were the beneficiaries of the swing vote because their platform reflected Canadians’ dislike of austerity. The NDP hoped to appear the safe choice by promoting balanced budgets but people support the Liberal idea of infrastructure improvements.”

For Haythornthwaite, personally, it was an exercise in democracy.

“I am pleased I was able to add another dimension to our election process and speak out for democratic renewal, something all Canadians can embrace,” he said. “All the candidates in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford represented their parties well and I congratulate them on their successes.”

Maple Bay students go to the ballot box Voting day came early at Maple Bay Elementary Thursday, Oct. 15 as the school participated in Student Vote Canada.

The school had registered as a participant in the nationwide parallel vote program and students in Div. 1, 2 and 3 — all Grade 6 and 7 plus a few Grade 5 from a split class — had been taught about political parties and how an election works and then encouraged to take an interest and discuss the subject at home, according to principal Lenore Underhill.

Then, last Thursday, in the multipurpose room near the school’s entrance, the students got to vote at a realistic poll, manned by some of their classmates who had been trained as deputy returning officers, poll clerks and scrutineers.

Schools who registered in the program all received a Student Vote Election Manual in PDF form, ballot boxes, voting screens and ballots with the names of local candidates running for election.

To adult eyes, everything looked very real, and as would be found at any polling station on voting day.

Lining up at their polls as directed, they were then carefully checked off the voters list individually by poll clerks Anna Beauchamp and Emma Fisher, given ballots with the names of the candidates for Cowichan-Malahat-Langford and directed to one of four voting places by scrutineers Clayton Bergstrom and Ross Sharp.

Then, each one took his or her ballot to deputy returning officers Kal Nagy and Hayley Cage, who supervised the folding of the ballot and its insertion into the offi-

Maple Bay students gave the win to Conservative Martin Barker (20 votes), with the Liberals’ Luke Krayenhoff (19) in second, the NDP’s MacGregor third (17), and the Greens’ Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi fourth with 8. cial-style ballot box.

Under the efficient handling of the Maple Bay poll team, the entire process went so smoothly that the three classes were finished well ahead of the expected schedule.

Underhill was delighted with the way it all worked.

There had been a lot of interest in the school population about the election and the poll team was obviously intrigued by what was happening as they went about their specified jobs.

It really was a great chance to practice something that will become real for the students in only a few years, Underhill said, explaining that students had been given a chance to see what a ballot looked like, and told how to mark it with an X, as well as what to expect at the poll.

Finally, after all three classes had voted, the ballots were carefully counted and the numbers recorded, ready to be sent to CIVIX, a non-partisancharity aimed at building citizenship skills.

Maple Bay was not the only school in the riding to take part. Others included Alex Aitken, Bench, Brentwood College, Chemainus Secondary, Cowichan Secondary, CVOLC, Crofton, Discovery, Drinkwater, Frances Kelsey Secondary, Island Oak, Lake Cowichan, Queen Margaret’s, Queen of Angels, Shawnigan Lake, École Cobble Hill, and École Mt. Prevost.

OUR VIEW

Government has chance to bring in reform

A

s the election results roll in and we are seeing a big change taking place in Ottawa, it nevertheless just reinforces for us the need our country has for electoral reform.

We use the flawed first-pastthe-post system to determine our representatives in Parliament, and it’s never been the best system out there.

It’s just the well-worn one we’ve always used.

There are plenty of other voting systems we could explore that would far better represent the actual will of the people.

This is particularly true in

Canada where we have multiple legitimate political parties.

We firmly believe more voices and more points of view are better for our country than less.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to instituting such a system has always been that if first-past-the-post put a political party in power, they are loathe to do anything to mess with a system that gave them the win.

That’s hardly a shocking revelation, but it’s a big barrier to a better democracy.

We’ve got a new party in power after 10 years of Conservative rule in Ottawa, and the NDP,

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

the Greens and the Liberals (our new governing party) all pledged to at least seriously consider electoral reform while they were on the campaign trail. On election night, local candidate Luke Krayenhoff said it’s on the agenda.

We would like to see them have the courage to follow through.

It’s a clean slate; Justin Trudeau has the chance to build his own legacy, and it could include making more people in this country feel like their votes matter.

But it takes true willingness and dedication.

In B.C. we almost had a better

system, with the single transferable vote.

The B.C. Liberals did a great thing in getting together the Citizen’s Assembly to decide on the new voting system. Then they burned us all by abandoning the information campaign, starving it of proper funds and manpower.

Nevertheless, those ordinary people who came up with the STV believed in it so much that they almost managed to overcome the B.C. Liberals’ antipathy.

We all deserve better, provincially and federally.

CVRD sucking money out of residents

Private garbage collection satisfactory As a resident of Mill Bay I am completely satisfied with the garbage and compostables (organic) collection service provided by the current private contractor, P.A.N. Disposal.

Our present costs for the services are reasonable, and I have the choice of paying for regular weekly pick-up or with coupons for less regular service. Present costs are, I believe, considerably cheaper than they will be if the CVRD regionalizes the services.

I was also satisfied with the former private recycling contractor, Waste Management, which provided service to our area before the CVRD, in their great wisdom, replaced them

with much more expensive civil servants. I don’t believe that the full costs of providing municipal employees with their gold plated vacation, health, disability and retirement benefits were taken into consideration when the recycling contract was changed, nor will they be taken into consideration should the garbage and organics pick-up be nationalized. Do we really need more government employees?

Dave Heard Mill Bay

Mention problem oils to your favourite vendors I love wandering the bustling colourful Duncan Saturday market and buying my fresh farm

produce, listening to the music and greeting friends.

However, I have just become aware that some of my favourite baked good stalls are using either canola (a genetically modified crop) and/or palm oil — whose plantations are mushrooming in the places where rain forests and orangutans once thrived. Friends travelling in Malaysia are presently breathing in the smoke from Sumatran rain forests now burning for palm oil production.

If enough of us talk to the vendors, or if they read this, we might bring awareness so our treats can be consumed without us or the planet suffering.

Paula Foot Duncan

Once again the CVRD is going to try and suck more money out of the residents of the Cowichan Valley. Watch for it folks.

Bylaw 3930 looking to reap $600,000 from a portion of the CVRD including the Town of Lake Cowichan to take over and manage the Cowichan Lake, river and tributaries which will include construction of a weir etc. Each of us involved, (and it does not include all CVRD residents), will pay $9.13 per $100,000 value of our homes to feed this hungry monster (CVRD). More bureaucrats etc.

This should be a provincial issue not a small portion of the CVRD. As well, bylaw 3918 will look to steal another $2.65 per $100,000 valuation to do what is called flood management.

This piles up on top of my third problem and that’s bylaw 3931 to put money into arts and culture this time $0.85 per $100,000. So if you have a home worth $200,000 you will pay additional taxes of $25.26, a $300,000 home will cost you $37.89 and $400,000, $50.52. So here we go again, higher taxes, more bureaucrats and more control.

This has to stop and stop now.

Most of us on fixed incomes with little increase in income are already being taxed to death.

Put a stop to it get, an elector response form, fill it out and get it to the CVRD to end this thievery. Only you the taxpayer/voter can control this nonsense. If you don’t care, do nothing, if you do care make your voice heard.

LETTER to the editor Is recycling really better than trashing it?

Re: Curbside collection to expand? Survey (CVC Oct 2/15) I am a big fan of recycling, but have increasingly come to question the reality of the true costs.

What is the big picture? What is the real total cash cost to citizens and the actual environmental costs vs. environmental savings?

Before we all jump on the bandwagon in favour of more recycling, I would like to suggest that the CVRD survey include the following cost estimates so citizens are not blindly selecting the socially-acceptable, feel-good choices if there are more realistic, sensible options.

This is what I would like to know from the CVRD: What if we had no recycling?

What would be the cost to pick up and dispose of all household trash, including paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, organics — everything except large items, electronics, hazardous paints, etc.? Give the cost estimate assuming the use of an automated-lift truck making the rounds of a neighbourhood every week to empty standard provided containers. Include cost breakdowns for everything — staffing, administration, tipping fees, capital costs, fuel, maintenance, etc. Of course, trash amounts would have to be estimated for Areas A, B, C, and H. What are we paying now for separate trash collection and recycling?

Again, this is a tricky question because many in the CVRD use private contractors. Give your best estimates, broken down by areas.

Assume all automated-lift trucks.

Include cost breakdowns for everything — staffing, administration, tipping fees, capital costs, fuel, maintenance, etc.

Of course these costs should reflect the necessity for multiple standard provided containers.

Are there additional administrative costs for having two pickup programs?

What income is returned through the sale of recycling items? Estimate and include the amounts that consumers paid out in container recycling fees.

What would we be paying if we had collection of separate trash and recycling and organics?

Another container for each household, special liner bags for organics, lower tipping fees and higher income due to organics, additional administration — trucks, fuel, maintenance costs?

Include in each of the above all other costs of collection, disposal and recycling — regardless of how they are funded. For example,

Multi-Material BC (MMBC) is less than transparent, but is essentially fully funded by citizens. What is that costing us per capita? I know I just paid 72 cents, plus GST of four cents, for 12 tetra pak litres of apple juice. That 76 cents seems excessive for the privilege of recycling.

And we want to know the environmental costs for each choice too. What are the differences in harmful emissions with one-twothree trucks making the rounds?

One truck stopping once to pick up everything will certainly have total lower emissions than three trucks each stopping at every residence. Distances to landfills or recycling or organics dropoffs must be taken into account.

There may be increased methane produced with one-stop dumping (though that could be harvested).

It’s my understanding that collecting and recycling some items actually uses more energy and resources than manufacturing products from clean raw materials.

Are we doing a whole lot of extra work and paying more in fees and expenses, to our detriment?

I have read a lot of articles about the declining benefits of recycling.

Some jurisdictions are now paying to dump their recyclables because they cannot sell them. And if things are not going well in densely populated big cities with many potential industrial buyers, what hope have we here?

As I am becoming increasingly fed up with sorting my household trash –—garbage, recycling, organics, glass, electronics, batteries, CFLs, hazardous waste (paint, etc.) — I have been wondering how most people have the space to store all this stuff? And increasingly, why am I doing this?! I am a rule-follower, but looking around, it seems there are an awful lot of people who mysteriously never have any garbage or recycling. Or it’s all recycling. And I’m the only one I know who doesn’t put batteries and CFLs in the trash.

So I think it’s time our decision-makers stepped back for a moment to reassess the big picture. Because I suspect that recycling may not be as rosy as we once believed. And once residents have a better idea of the actual costs of recycling vs. the benefits, both economically and environmentally, we may want to ask ourselves if it’s really worth it.

Finally, and most telling, “The CVRD currently ships 19,000 tonnes of garbage annually to a landfill in the United States.” How green is that?

2015 flu vaccine to be 40-60 per cent effective

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Flu season is rapidly approaching and Island Health is encouraging citizens to get their flu shots early as each year influenza causes more deaths than any other vaccine-preventable illness in Canada, according to the health authority.

Though admittedly not as effective as in years past, “anyone who is eligible to receive the vaccine is still highly recommended to receive the vaccine this year,” said Central Vancouver Island medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback.

“In the best years the vaccine might be 70 to 80 per cent effective. Last year it was about 15 to 30 per cent,” he explained.

This year the vaccine is expected to be between 40 and 60 per cent effective.

“It’s not the best vaccine but I’d rather have a 50 to 60 per cent improvement on my chances of not getting influenza than none,” Hasselback said. “It is still the best way of preventing influenza. It’s still the way that we will reduce morbidity, hospitalizations, sickness, mortality, death amongst those people who are vulnerable — by providing the vaccine and also getting the vaccine so that we don’t spread it ourselves to those we live, work or play with who might be vulnerable.”

Flu shots are free for people over 65 and children and adults with chronic health conditions and their caregivers and household contacts. Shots are also at no cost for

Spooktacular Halloween f Thursday, October 29th at 2 pm with Silver & Gold Band

Dr. Paul Hasselback health care workers, pregnant women, children aged six months to five years and household caregivers of children under six months old, residents and visitors to nursing homes and chronic care facilities.

Aboriginal people, obese people, corrections officers and those who provide care or service in a potential outbreak setting also qualify for a free flu shot.

“If we provide a circle of protection around individuals who are vulnerable, that helps as well,” Hasselback said.

Those who find themselves outside the eligible group are still encouraged to get a flu shot, they’ll just have to pay a “nominal” fee for it, according to Island Health.

Flu shot clinics begin the first week of November.

The shots can be obtained at doctors’ offices, pharmacies and Island Health’s public health units — and in many locations appointments are not required.

Come join us at one of the three Home Energy Conservation Workshops being hosted by BETTER OFF North Cowichan and learn all about …

A new bylaw compliance and enforcement policy means Nor th Cowichan proper ty owners trying to skirt around municipal regulations may find themselves in council’s crosshairs sooner rather than later.

The policy, adopted earlier this year, changes how the municipality deals with bylaw non-compliance.

In the past, the enforcement officer dealt with situations as complaints were filed.

“With 81 square miles and as many issues as we have, the policy was mainly to react to complaints,” North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure explained.

“Say if somebody complained about their neighbour or pollution in a creek or an illegal suite, we would then investigate...and we would make a decision on whether to move ahead enforcement.”

Staff ’s first efforts were to regularize the situation without going to council — “trying to work with the owner to make

things legitimate,” Lefebure said. That hasn’t changed.

But, with the new proactive policy, if bylaw enforcement officer Rob Clark or one of the municipality’s building inspectors notices something awry, or if a tip is received from the public, the municipality is being proactive in looking into it.

Staff initially seek voluntary compliance but failing that, council debates registering a Notice on Title, the first formal step in the process to encourage property owners to comply. It’s a legal notice attached to the property alerting any potential buyers that it is the subject of a municipal issue. Notices on Title protect the municipality from liability and once the problems are remedied the Notice can be easily removed.

“There are always liability issues,” Lefebure noted, but that’s not the only reason for the change. “I think this is more than just liability. I think this is an approach by council to have more compliance with our bylaws,” he said. “The bylaws

are there to protect everyone.”

He said council has dealt with illegal structures, disregard for setbacks, duplexes turning into four-plexes and four-plexes converted into six-plexes and more.

“We have lots of situations where there are health and safety issues and issues for the neighbours in terms of parking and activities going on,” Lefebure said.

The new policy enables staff and council to work with willing landowners to address their non-compliance before enforcement escalates.

“If someone is not respecting the bylaws...if you have the kind of attitude that ‘well, the municipality doesn’t care, if nobody says anything I can just go ahead and do this’, you’re going to have lots of damage done,” Lefebure said. “Some of it will be environmental, some will affect neighbours, some will have liability associate with it but I don’t think we want to be known as a jurisdiction where its only if you’re caught that there’s a problem.”

Lamp trashing prompts recycling questions SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

At more than 80 years old, Ruth Genereaux of Ruthie’s Roost Bed and Breakfast in Mill Bay doesn’t take much guff anymore. She calls things how she sees them and when she feels she’s been wronged she says so.

Such was the case the other day when she filled up her car and drove north to the recycling depot on Norcross Road to dispose of her recyclables appropriately.

It’s the right thing to do, she said.

While waiting in line she saw a woman put a beautiful antique-looking lamp on the counter and walk away.

Genereaux needed that lamp.

“It was brass with pink and in one of my bedrooms, I call it the pink room, I have a brass bed,” she explained. “I thought that would look lovely in my pink room.”

Unable to resist, Genereaux squeezed her way to the front of the line and asked the clerk if she could have the lamp. He agreed.

Life was good. For a minute anyway.

‘Everything that comes here is end of life,’ says Return-It LAMP, From Page 11 “I got it out to the car when he came out and said he needed it back,” Genereaux said. “He said the manager wouldn’t let me have it.”

Confused, she took it out of the car and back into the depot and asked to speak with the manager.

Genereaux said a brief discussion with the senior staffer revealed the manager feared the company would be sued if the lamp was to, say, burn down her house.

“The manager said ‘It’s our law, We have to have it back because we’re liable, you could sue us’,” Genereaux explained.

“I knew I wasn’t going to win. Finally she got it out of my hands. I asked her what she’s going to do with it and she said ‘smash it’.”

Genereaux was horrified.

“That’s ludicrous. I should never have taken it out of the car,” she said.

“Nobody’s going to know where it came from. I could have found it at the thrift shop or the side of the road or under the big tent at Bings Creek. I’ve picked things up from Bings Creek several times. I’ve never thought of suing them if something didn’t work.”

The B&B owner said the previous day she delivered 11 pieces of used furniture she no longer needed to the needy.

And there she was that day doing her recycling.

She’s simply trying to do her part.

“I’m over 80 and I can recycle stuff,” she said. “Why are we crushing a beautiful lamp like that? We’re supposed to be trying to save the universe.”

Her message to all: “Do not drop things off that are like that,” she said. “Recycling isn’t recycling there. It’s crushing.”

Better to take it somewhere it can be reused, she added.

Genereaux said she would have happily signed a paper — and still would — absolving the depot of liability, which she feels wouldn’t have been an issue as no staffer had actually taken possession of the lamp when she picked it up.

It’s not that simple, said Island ReturnIt manager Jenn Crabbe.

“We are a middle-man collection site for other programs,” Crabbe explained.

“Because of that, we have to sign a contract that states that whatever is dropped off at our depot cannot be redistributed.

“Once it crosses this counter it no long-

NOTICE TO ELECTORS WITHIN THE COWICHAN RIVER WATERSHED AREA OF AN ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS OPPORTUNITY FOR CVRD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT BYLAW NO. 3930 [Cowichan River Water Management Service]

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD), proposes to adopt “CVRD Bylaw No. 3930 – Cowichan River Water Management Service Establishment Bylaw, 2015 “.

BYLAW SUMMARY If adopted, Bylaw No. 3930 will allow the CVRD to requisition up to $600,000 per year to provide management of water quality and quantity in the Cowichan River Watershed. The maximum cost to residential property owners within the proposed service area with a residential property assessed at $100,000 would be approximately $9.13 per year, as set out in the table below. The complete bylaw is available for review at the CVRD office, located at 175 Ingram Street in Duncan BC, during regular office hours, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays. A copy of the bylaw is also available on the CVRD website at www.cvrd.bc.ca.

er is going to be in use,” she added. “We have to honour our contracts. It’s not a risk we’re willing to lose our business over.”

Genereaux claims it had not yet been transferred.

“They hadn’t touched it yet. That’s what makes me mad. They hadn’t put a hand on it yet. If I could have caught the woman that put it there I would have asked her.”

Crabbe said when people come in and tell staff their items are still in working order, they always try to remind them perhaps the best place to take those items would be a thrift shop.

“Everything that comes here is end of life. If people bring things here they need to read the fine print and know it’s not going to be reused,” she said. “Part of it with the electronics is for privacy protection because computers have personal data on them. But for things like lamps, if there’s something wrong with the cord or the wiring and it sets a fire, we’d be liable.”

Now, with her pink room still lampless, Genereaux is wondering what’s become of the potential treasure.

“It really is criminal to throw something like that away,” she said. “We’re supposed to be recycling there.”

Chemainus Water System Notification 10% of the Electors 2,992

ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS AND ELIGIBILITY The CVRD may adopt this bylaw unless at least 10% of electors within the regional district indicate that a referendum must be held by submitting a signed Elector Response Form to the CVRD office no later than 4:30 pm, Wednesday, December 2, 2015. The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the CVRD, and only those persons who qualify as electors of the whole of the City of Duncan; the whole of the Town of Lake Cowichan; and those portions of the District of North Cowichan, Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake, Electoral Area D – Cowichan Bay, Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora, Electoral Area F – Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls, and Electoral Area I – Youbou/ Meade Creek that are within the boundaries of the proposed service area are entitled to sign. Electors may qualify as either resident electors or as non-resident property electors, as follows: Resident Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a resident elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, and have been a resident in the proposed service area for the past 30 days or more.

Non-Resident Property Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a non-resident property elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, have owned and held registered title to a property in the proposed service area for the past 30 days or more, and do not qualify as a resident elector. NOTE: Only one non-resident property elector may submit a response form per property, regardless of how many owners there may be.

If less than 10% (2,992) of the area electors submit an Elector Response Form, the bylaw will be deemed to have the approval of the electors and the CVRD Board may adopt the bylaw. For the purpose of conducting the alternative approval opportunity, the number of area electors is calculated at 29,916.

Elector Response Forms are available from the CVRD, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC V9L 1N8, Phone 250.746.2500 / 1.800.665.3955, e-mail jbarry@cvrd.bc.ca OR on the CVRD website at www.cvrd.bc.ca.

On Wednesday, October 15, the water supply for the Chemainus Water System was switched from the Banon Creek source to the Wells source.

The Municipality expects the high quality well water to reach Chemainus water system users within a few days.

The Municipality has submitted an application to amend the BC Environmental Assessment Certificate #W09-01 to operate the Chemainus River Wells supply year round. The Municipality has been monitoring summer Chemainus River flows and ground water levels in a comprehensive monitoring program since 2005.

The Municipality invites your comments on its application for approval to operate the Chemainus River Wells year round.

Glenora Farm gearing up for fundraiser LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The big new vegetable processing shed at Glenora Farm is framed, roofed and closed in; the big winter project will be finishing it so programs for the farm’s companions can begin next year. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] table production shed. The college [Vancouver Island University] kindly donated their time and did the framing for us. Now we’re trying to get it all sealed in and ready for winter. The roof is on but it needs siding, soffits and doors. And there will also be a washroom inside so people can wash their hands.

We’re also going to put in a commercial kitchen so that then we can take vegetables grown on the farm and sort them and do various things there. The idea is to bring in more work for the farm’s companions.”

Glenora Farm is looking to expand its therapeutic programs and, to that end, is lining up a big pre-Christmas fundraiser.

The farm, owned and operated by the Ita Wegman Association, is called a Camphill Community and is part of a worldwide association of schools, training colleges and adult villages where people with developmental disabilities work together with their caregiver “companions”.

Glenora Farm, one of two Camphill facilities in western Canada, is a bio-dynamic and therapeutic farm located in a picturesque part of the Valley.

The community grows a wide range of herbs and vegetables, along with raising highland cattle and sometimes pigs for meat. They also keep a small flock of sheep for wool.

In addition, Glenora Farm also has several workshops where the farmers produce value-added agricultural products as well as crafts like jewelry, woodwork and felt and handwoven items.

Of course, there’s lots more for the companions at the farm.

One day every week is dedicated to education and cultural activities. Many Valley music lovers will be familiar with just one of these: the famous Glenora Handbell Choir is a beloved part of many concerts.

Jean Zucht, the parent of a companion, is an enthusiastic member of the fundraising committee.

“Glenora Farm is a wonderful place,” she said. “We are so happy with it.”

But there is a need for money to deal with a couple of special projects.

“We are building a big vege-

the farm, to make it more viable and self-sustaining, and that will be to the benefit of everyone that’s living there,” she said.

Fundraising for the veggie shed actually began some years ago.

“The funny thing is that the seed money for that shed came from when I did the Great Lake Walk at Lake Cowichan. People sponsored me and that money went to start this.”

Now the Glenora Farm fundraising committee is out in the wider community, trying to get donations for the raffle. The farm itself is donating a side of grass-fed beef: a tasty prize indeed with the holiday season coming.

However, in addition to actually purchasing the tickets for the raffle when they come on sale in November, there is another way that members of the general public can help the Glenora Farm fundraiser, according to Zucht.

“From now until the end of October, we’d love to get more things we can raffle. Right now we’re out there getting some donations; we’re hoping to get some big ticket items.

People can contact us if they want to make a donation,” she said.

The emails for donations are jammybc@shaw.ca, abigailj@shaw. ca and fundraising@glenora.org, Zucht said.

The raffle draws will be made during Glenora Farm’s popular Christmas Fair, held at the facility Sunday, Dec. 13.

| Cowichan Valley Citizen ◆ COMING UP IN COWICHAN

School District International Program holding fundraiser The Cowichan Valley School District International Program is presenting a Coffee House Fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Frances Kelsey Secondary School.

There will be lots of singing and musical entertainment by the district’s international students, plus delicious desserts and coffee and plenty of great door prizes.

Admission is by donation with proceeds going to the Mill Bay Food Bank.

Yoga teachers banding together to aid Nepal, Syrian refugees A group of yoga teachers is getting together on Sunday, Oct. 25 at the Hub in Cowichan Station to offer a yoga session that will help raise money for international aid.

The Forest Yogini Collective is offering a class suitable for all levels, even novices, with the goal of raising funds to support earthquake victims of Nepal and Syrian refugees.

“We will offer a gentle but strong practice; connecting with our breath, exploring movement through yoga and dance, joining together in sound as we chant, and enjoying a gentle guided meditation into deep relaxation and rest,” said a press release from the group.

The session runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon, with a suggested donation for entry of $20, though nobody will be turned away. There will also be a door prize raffle.

Door prizes include gift certificates for yoga classes with Paulina Kee, an Ayurvedic Massage

by Asrael Zemenick, a BodyTalk session with Christy Greenwood, and $25 worth of vegetables from Ol’ MacDonald Farm.

All donations will go to the Cowichan Intercultural Society and Glasswaters, Nepal.

or much of her working career, Melanie worked as a firefighter in the Cowichan Valley. If it were up to her, she would have never have left. She loved helping people, she loved the uniform; it was her identity for nearly 20 years. When she suffered a torn meniscus on the job, and even when the pain got worse and worse, she was determined to stick it out.

It was only when she realized that her injury might put her colleagues or the public in danger that she agreed to retire.

After an arduous knee replacement surgery, Melanie found herself at the Red Cross HELP Depot in Duncan holding a lengthy list of medical equipment her doctor had prescribed for her recovery. Although she’d had a long career as a first responder, she had no experience in post-operative care and had never heard of the free loan program. Suddenly retired and short on funds, she was impressed that such an program charged nothing for the service.

In her own words, Melanie fits the classic profile of a first responder; she needs to be needed.

Never much for housekeeping, as soon as she was walking again, she decided to join the volunteer team at the Duncan HELP Office.

As the majority of HELP volunteers are seniors, they always bring an abundance of life and work experience to the offices they work in. Melanie’s past however, gives her a unique insight into the experiences of the clients she’s serving. No matter the ailment or injury, Melanie has seen it at some point in her job, often right after it happened. Match that with a gregarious personality and the empathy that comes with seeing a lot more than most, Melanie is a huge asset to the Duncan HELP service. By her own admission, her life as a volunteer is not quite as fast-paced as her last job, but it’s just as rewarding. Anyway, Melanie herself is a little slower these days.

United Way Cowichan funds over 20 local programs, such as the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program. Many of these programs are facilitated by volunteers, just like Melanie.

Please consider a donation to the United Way Cowichan campaign. Please call our office, 250748-1312 or visit our website to donate online (www.cowichanunitedway.com).

Brennan also had a scam that annoyed his fellow white settlers, according to Vancouver Island explorer Robert Brown (who’d also crossed swords with him): “The best landing place is at his house and he refuses to [canoe] anyone across [the bay] except at high figures beyond reach of the settlers’ means.”

Brennan’s shooting of the dog had almost been his undoing, according to Brown: “The [Cowichans] were much excited and begged of the priest [Father Rondeault] to be allowed to kill him. This man ought certainly to be punished. The whole of the whites speak of him as the Black Sheep in their midst and the Indians hate and despise the man.”

When Brennan complained to Police Magistrate A.F. Pemberton in Victoria that his cattle were being killed and maimed, Pemberton, aware of Brennan’s sordid reputation, was less than sympathetic: “I think it desirable that he should be removed.”

Easier said than done, of course; at least by legal means. And for all of his differences with his neighbours, he prospered.

A fashion event to fall for!

Shooting got Pat Brennan in trouble WE HAD CATTLE, From Page 16

Sadly, after five years as a squatter, Brennan’s land claim was upheld by the Crown and his Cowichan neighbours’ fervent hopes that he’d be evicted were dashed. As it happened, however, they didn’t have to wait long for him to, in fact, vacate the premises. Not by choice, mind you, but in handcuffs.

In just a few years he was one of the Valley’s wealthiest farmers with two oxen, two horses, 30 cows and eight pigs. Which likely explains his having had to pay a $25 fine for altering brands on a calf belonging to Fred Crate. He got off on another rustling charge with only a tongue lashing from Chief Justice Needham.

North Cowichan Municipal Council gives notice that it intends to dispose of its fee simple interest in 4 new residential building lots on Channel Blvd in Chemainus. These lots are full-serviced with municipal water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk and underground power.

The 4 lots range in size from 891 m2 to 899 m2. The grading of Lots 1 and 2 are well suited to two-story reverse walk-out homes. Lots 3 and 4 can accommodate most home design plans. Rear yard fencing (and south side yard of Lot 1) has been completed as a condition of the subdivision, with some vegetation remaining at the rear of the lots in order to reduce impact on and transition to the adjacent park land.

Cowichan Elder Care Co-op ready to launch

C

oastal Community Credit Union has given $10,000 in grant money to a new initiative aimed at supporting seniors in the Cowichan Valley. With an aging population and a reduction in government assistance, the Cowichan Elder Care Co-operative (CECC) has emerged and will help seniors extend their time living at home by acting as a trusted resource to make referrals, arrange sub-contractors, and co-ordinate volunteers to deliver services to seniors at home.

The co-op is now poised to launch. Coastal Community’s grant will pay for an ambitious member recruitment campaign, covering diverse needs from marketing the co-op to the training and development of new board members.

Roger Hart, a long-time promoter of community economic development in the Cowichan Valley, along with the board members of CECC, believes that now is the right time to introduce the concept of an elder care co-op.

“Our community needs to reacquaint itself with ‘people caring for people’,” Hart said. “With increased demand on social and health services, the elder care co-op will provide meaningful work for active senior members of our community willing to offer services in accordance with our desire for ‘seniors helping seniors’.”

Younger generations throughout the Cowichan Valley will also be needed and are encouraged to get involved with the co-op. The co-op board

plans for innovative partnerships with local high schools that will allow young people to contribute both socially and economically to their communities.

More and more startup ventures like the CECC are looking for different business models in which to incorporate. As a co-operative, the business is owned and controlled by the people who use its services. In B.C. alone, there are 721 co-operatives incorporated within the province, with assets worth over $67 billion.

The B.C. Co-operative Association (BCCA) developed a national Co-operative Elder Care Project in 2013, and piloted it in five provinces, including B.C.’s Cowichan Valley.

At its conception, with the support of the Government of Canada through the Social Development Partnerships Program and the Vancouver Foundation, BCCA provided CECC with $30,000 in seed funding to plan and develop the co-op. Carol Murray, BCCA’ s executive director, believes that this type of co-op will really make a difference in communities.

“It’s about enabling communities to come together to support elders at home, where they want to be, in a co-operative way,” she said.

Those at Coastal Community Credit Union agree. The Credit Union has had a relationship with the CECC since its early days, providing support last year to host a public and member information meeting.

“Helping seniors access safe, reliable services at a fair price is an initiative we strongly believe in at Coastal Community,” said Allyson Prescesky, manager of Community Experience and Communications. “We were inspired by the initiative, which has been built on a co-operative model — run by seniors, for seniors — while providing a sense of belonging to those involved, where all members have the chance for input into decision-making.”

Cowichan Elder Care Co-op will be moving into new offices at Providence Farm next month and will be hosting a social to launch member services.

Duncan seniors fitness, social program needs volunteers

SUNRIDGE SWINGING

Looking to make a difference in your community? The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs several volunteers in Duncan for the fall session of its Minds in Motion program.

The fitness and social program helps area residents who have early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Participants can enjoy a weekly morning or afternoon session with a friend, family member or care partner.

“It’s very rewarding work,” said Shanan St. Louis, the Society’s Minds in Motion coordinator for the Central and North Island. “You’re enriching the lives of others.”

A certified fitness instructor conducts the fitness portion of the program. A facilitator ensures participants are involved in activities such as billiards, Wii and ping pong, or just enjoying social time and light refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere.

In addition to helping others, volunteers have the opportunity to spend rewarding

one-to-one time with participants and see first-hand how people’s lives are enriched by this program. Some experience working with older adults and basic knowledge of, or experience with, dementia would also be helpful.

Minds in Motion takes place Mondays from 1 to 3 p.m. from Nov. 9 through Dec. 14, at Cowichan Aquatic Centre.

For information on volunteering, contact Shanan St. Louis at the Alzheimer Resource Centre toll-free at 1-800-462-2833 or sstlouis@alzheimerbc.org.

To register as a participant in Minds in Motion, call 250-746-7665.

Minds in Motion is offered in partnership by the Seniors at Risk Integrated Health Network, and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. It is funded through the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s Continuing Care Services, and the B.C. Ministry of Health Services.

Residents can get more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org

Arbour Cottage Arbour Cottage is a government Licensed 5 bed adult care facility and has been caring for seniors in the community of Ladysmith and area for the past 10 years.

We provide services for complex, palliative and respite care.

With the new production Grace and Glorie, Chemainus Theatre reminds us just how powerful — and enjoyable — a simple drama can be.

Chemainus T hea tre has become known for its superb musical productions and often its offerings depend on great melodies, straight-up humour or suspense.

But with their newest production, which opened last week for a very short run that only goes until Nov. 7, they remind audiences that two good actors playing out a situation that, on the surface, could have come from the lives of thousands of ordinary people, can have just as big an impact on the audience as a large-scale production number.

Grace and Glorie is an intimate story that rests on the oddball pairing of an illiterate small-town farm wife who is 90 years old and dying and the

A sexylarious improv comedy show. These guys try to be sexy… it just comes out funny.

Harvard-educated, MBA-wielding former New Yorker who signs on to be the dying woman’s hospice volunteer so she’ll have something to do with her days after leaving her high-flying, lucrative career.

Erin Ormond plays Gloria, the hospice volunteer, while Valerie Pearson plays the dying and ornery Grace. Both actors embody their characters to perfection as the bond between them grows. It’s a testament to them both that the audience feels as if we know these women by the time the lights go down — they feel like real people we could call friends.

The characters are specific women in a specific situation in place and time, but as a whole the play is more than that.

Here is a story about the meaning of life, what it means to be a woman, what it is to die, what’s really important and the joys and sorrows that make up every day. But this isn’t some tedious lecture on the nature

of the human condition from playwright Tom Zeigler.

While you might reach for a tissue a few times during the show, you’ll also laugh out loud, particularly at the antics that ensue from Gloria being such a fish out of water in the less-than-modern cottage that Grace has chosen to die in.

Whether the ladies are debating using an heirloom soup tureen as a bedpan or talking about what it’s like to endure the death of a child you’ll be riveted to the stage by Ormond and Pearson.

This play finds the heart in all of us and reaches out to gently touch. The ending is pitch perfect and will leave a tear in your eye and a smile on your face at the same time.

Grace and Glorie touches the heart and stays in your thoughts long after you have left the theatre.

You really won’t want to miss this superb piece of theatre, so get your tickets fast.

Reveen brings Cowichan next generation hypnosis Reveen!

For anyone over 40, that name is a blast from the past, a reminder of famous hypnotist Peter Reveen and his entertaining traveling shows.

Now, the legend is continuing with his son, Tyrone Reveen, who has taken up the family business and is thrilling crowds again with a fascinating show.

The Superconscious Experience of Reveen, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 29 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre, promises to be a family-friendly journey that takes the audience to the inner and outer reaches of your

imagination in a whole new way.

Since 1955, The Reveen Show has attracted seven million people to venues around the world.

Ty Reveen knows his special effects, too. He worked in that field with important rock groups but was always excited by his father’s career and took up the mantle himself in 2011.

“Peter Reveen was a one in a million performer. He was the world’s greatest hypnosis act. His son Ty is carrying on the tradition. He learned much from his father and you will enjoy the presentation.

I worked with and respected Peter and his uncanny talent.

Huge choir brings big voices to town LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Choral music fans, take note!

On Thursday, Oct. 29, starting at 8 p.m., you can hear close to 150 Dutch voices in concert as the Grootkoor [Grand Choirs] Project brings its show to the Christian Reformed Church in Duncan.

This enormous chorus is doing a Canadian tour during this, the 70th

anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. With a shared history and a solid foundation for friendship, the stage was set for a grand musical occasion in both countries.

For more than a quarter century, the Grand Choirs have made their mark on the Dutch choir scene. Every year, they organize choir projects in every Dutch province, concluded by a great concert.

These concerts — often accompanied by famous international soloists and orchestras — take place in colossal concert halls and churches.

The Dutch Grand Choirs have a special sound, produced under the direction of their two conductors, Etty van der Mei and Nan van Groeningen.

Doors for the show open at 7 p.m.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $15 per person at the door.

Caps shut out Kings and slip past Grizzlies KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

An outstanding performance by the Cowichan Valley Capitals last Saturday night led to the team’s first shutout win of the B.C. Hockey League season. The Caps were less spectacular the following afternoon, but still managed to pull off a victory.

The Caps downed the Island Division-leading Powell River Kings 3-0 on Saturday as goalie Storm Phaneuf had a perfect outing. The next day, they slipped past the Victoria Grizzlies 5-4 on the road at the Q Centre.

“Obviously you can’t complain when you get two wins,” head coach Bob Beatty said. “I think we played very well Saturday night. Not so well [Sunday], but we came out with the win.”

Phaneuf stopped all 30 shots he faced on Saturday to stymie the Kings. As far as Beatty was concerned, the backstop was just continuing the solid play he has provided the Caps all season.

“He’s been giving us real solid goaltending, and he made some pretty clutch saves on Saturday night as well,” Beatty said.

“Some nights he’s certainly a big difference in the outcome of the game. Shutout or not, he was certainly a star in the game, no question.”

Phaneuf wasn’t the only star in the contest, as Patrick Geary scored his team-leading eighth and ninth goals. Geary potted the eventual game-winner six minutes and four seconds into the game, and added a shorthanded marker late in the second period. Captain Adam Osczevski scored a powerplay goal with just under five minutes remaining in the first period.

Sunday’s game wasn’t as convincing as the Caps had to battle back from multiple deficits but prevailed in the third period.

“I thought we were a little bit sloppier with the puck, and we weren’t as tight defensively without the puck,” Beatty said.

“We gave up a lot of rushes. They are certainly a hard-working team. We’ve played three games against them and they’ve all been one-goal games.

“We played a pretty good third period.

It’s not all bad when you win 5-4 and come from behind, but I thought we played a

Capitals centre Jared Domin is surrounded by Powell River Kings players during last Saturday’s showdown at the Island Savings Centre. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] much more efficient game Saturday than Sunday.”

After the Grizzlies opened the scoring, the Caps went ahead on a powerplay goal

by Carter Cochrane and a shorthanded marker by Matt Hudie. The Grizzlies potted a shorty of their own with nine seconds left in the frame, and the teams went to the dressing rooms knotted at 2-2.

The Grizzlies again went ahead at 13:26 of the second, but Luke Santerno drew the Caps even again. Once more, the Grizzlies scored late in the period and were ahead 4-3 when the buzzer went. Osczevski tied the score in the third, and Santerno’s second of the contest at 11:50 ended up being the game-winner.

Cochrane and Osczevski ended the night with a goal and an assist apiece, and newly acquired forward Rhett Willcox had two helpers. Phaneuf stopped 30 of 34 shots

over the first 54 minutes of the game before leaving with severe cramps. Affiliate goalie Michael Lenko replaced him for the balance of the game and turned aside all five shots he faced.

Willcox was acquired on Friday from the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for defenceman Mitch Stapley and made an immediate impact with his new team. In 105 previous BCHL games with Trail and the Merritt Centennials, he had scored 19 goals and set up 29 others.

“Saturday night I thought he had a real good game,” Beatty said. “He took care of the details pretty well. He made some good plays. He is certainly a good addition to our team. On Sunday he made a great play on our fourth goal. He’s certainly going to be a good addition.

“He’s been well-coached and he’s a smart player, a veteran player. This is his third

Storm Phaneuf made 30 saves for his first BCHL shutout. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] year in the league. He sees the ice well and plays hard.”

The Caps now sit second in the Island Division, although their win percentage is higher than first-place Powell River. Only the Penticton Vees have a higher rate of victory than the Caps.

Cowichan will visit the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday night and host Penticton on Saturday with a 6 p.m. start.

Friday’s game will be the first meeting of the regular season with the Clippers, who are just behind the Caps in the Island Division. The teams split their two preseason exhibition games.

The Vees are on a 12-game winning streak, and haven’t lost since their regular-season opener on Sept. 11.

“They’re two tough teams, two of the better teams in the league, no doubt,” Beatty said. “It will be a good benchmark for us.”

Nanaimo’s tactics play right into LMG’s hands KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Vancouver Island Soccer League’s Division 1-leading Cowichan LMG faced a strategy they hadn’t seen previously this year when they hosted Nanaimo FC at the Ladysmith turf last Friday night.

Nanaimo tried a new approach by attacking LMG’s end of the field. It was successful in that Nanaimo carried the bulk of possession and territory, but it didn’t help them in the end as Cowichan rolled to a 3-0 victory.

“It’s the first time this year that anyone has come at us, pushing things,” Cowichan coach Glen Martin said. “Their tactics didn’t work. We got them on the counter-attack. They played right into our hands: we have a counter-attack team.”

Martin was impressed with Nanaimo’s spirited play, even if it didn’t work against his squad.

“Nanaimo came to play,” he said. “They looked eager and ready to go. It was an exciting game.”

Possession was about 65 per cent in Nanaimo’s favour, Martin guessed, but Nanaimo was only able to generate one scoring chance from all that, and it came on a penalty shot. Cowichan, meanwhile, turned their 35 per cent of possession into about 10 scoring opportunities.

Paddy Nelson is accosted by a Nanaimo player late in last Friday’s 3-0 Cowichan victory. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] “We were well-organized on defence and we hit the ball well into the counter-attack,” Martin said.

Cowichan’s first goal came against the play and ended with

Paddy Nelson feeding the ball to Cooper Barry, who scored his league-leading sixth goal of the season. Nelson made it 2-0 after taking a long feed from Tyler Hughes while the Nanaimo play-

ers were arguing with the referee about a foul.

In the second half, Nelson scored his second of the game in the second half on a solid individual effort. Prior to that, he had an

incredible chance after winding his way through the entire Nanaimo lineup, but fired the ball over the net. In another brilliant scoring opportunity for Cowichan, Josh Cuthbert rang the ball off the post.

Nanaimo’s best chance to score came about five minutes into the second half after Govinda Innes pulled down former Cowichan scoring star Ryan Andre in the box and they were awarded a penalty shot. Cowichan keeper Sam Hutchison made the stop, the only save he had to make on the night.

“That could have turned things around big time,” Martin said.

“That makes it 2-1 and they are coming on.”

Martin praised his players for another good team effort as the squad continues to carry a limited roster, with Dan Cato and captain Jesse Winter sidelined last weekend.

Cuthbert was named Man of the Match for playing just two days after he had four wisdom teeth removed, while Hughes, Steve Scott and Kevan Brown were all their usual strong selves.

The win improved Cowichan’s record to five wins, no losses and one tie, and the team remains first in Division 1. LMG has a huge game this weekend as they visit Bays Friday night in the battle for first place.

Isles pull ahead late in back-to-back wins “They’re getting the message that when someone slashes you, just grin and bear it.”

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Kerry Park Islanders didn’t do anything the easy way last weekend.

The Isles waited until the very end of regulation to decide both their Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League games, nearly causing heart attacks for their coaches while earning valuable points and preventing their opponents from getting any.

On Saturday, the Isles scored the winning goal with just 31 seconds left as they edged the Saanich Braves 4-3. They also won 4-3 on Sunday afternoon, getting the winner against the Oceanside Generals with 70 seconds on the clock.

Owner Mark Osmond was pleased with his team’s play as they ran their winning streak to three games.

“Saturday was a good team performance, three solid periods,” he said. “Everyone was working well.”

Osmond also noted that the Isles are “getting better” with regard to taking unnecessary penalties.

“They’re getting the message that when someone slashes you, just grin and bear it,” he said.

On Saturday, the Isles saw 2-0 and 3-2 leads disappear before Zack Smith scored the late winner. Kerry Park also got goals

Peterson added one assist and Ryan Paisley had a pair of helpers. Between the pipes, Chase Anderson stopped 24 of 27 shots for the win.

On Sunday, the lead went back

and forth until David Bittner scored the winner on the powerplay with a minute and 10 seconds remaining. Green, Lynden Eddy and Tanner Browne also scored, while Connor Bissett had three assists and Keenan Eddy had two.

Peterson was assessed 31 min-

utes in penalties in the game, including a 10-minute misconduct in the second period and a game misconduct in the third, all apparently for responding to abuse he had been taking, unpunished, throughout the game.

It wasn’t lost on Osmond that

20-year-old four-year veteran and unsung hero Green scored the Islanders’ first goal in both games.

“He’s one of those guys who don’t get a lot of attention, but he does the right things, and he’s chipping in with some points,” Osmond said.

The VIJHL South Division standings remain cramped with just two points separating second place from fifth. The Isles, third with 13 points, can put some valuable space between themselves and the fifth-place Peninsula Panthers in a home-and home series this weekend.

The teams will play in North Saanich on Friday and Mill Bay on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, they will once again try to defeat the Victoria Cougars, who will pay a visit to Kerry Park Arena at 3 p.m.

The Isles are well aware of what it will take to beat the Cougars.

“It’s the same old thing with Victoria. They live and die on the powerplay. They’ll do anything to get the other team in the box.”

COX Albert Reginald CM, MD and FRCP(C), of Cobble Hill, BC, died on October 14, 2015 of heart failure after a short stay at Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, BC.

Al was admitted to the first class in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC in 1950 where he met his wife. He earned a gold medal in Medicine and specialized in cardiology, training at Vancouver General Hospital and University of Washington. He won a British Council Scholarship to study in London England (1956-7).

Jody Lynn Starter

August 24, 1972 to October 16, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful daughter Jody Starter on October 16, 2015.

Jody was born in Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan. Her battle with Crohn’s disease from the age of fifteen did hinder her dream of attending Scottsdale, 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 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 Lynn’s Vitamin Gallery health food for four years after returning to her hometown of Duncan. From a young age, Jody’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 Josh’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 farrier-ing (equine hoof care) and also promoted Natural horsemanship involving holistic care of animals and did all she could to spread the word. She was an outdoorsy type of gal, enjoying annual camping trips to Rathtrevor Beach and Tofino with her family and at least two trips a year skiing on Mt. Washington.

Jody’s ultimate passion were her children … her love of 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 eighteen years, Josh Crawford; her two beloved children, Ayden Crawford-Starter and Jordana Grace Crawford-Starter; her sister Penny Hender (Rod); her mother and father, Lynn and Robert Starter; her in-laws, Ann and Bob Crawford; her great-Aunt Etta Boyd, ‘Auntie’ Joan (McKee), “Auntie’ Fil and ‘Uncle’ Paul (Wiltsie); 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, Jody’s wished to remain at home until the end was fulfilled.

A Celebration of Life honouring Jody will be on November 1, 2015 at 1:00 PM 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. hwwallacebc.com H.W. Wallace Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Road, Duncan, BC A light from our lives has gone A voice we loved is still A place is vacant in our hearts That never can be filled.

Vladimir (Laddie) Paul Ponich October 11, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father Vladimir Paul Ponich (Laddie) on October 11th, 2015, just 6 weeks after the loss of his wife of 70 years, Noelle Louise Ponich (Betty). He will be dearly missed by his children, Paul (Stancia De Blasi), Madeline (Ted Simonett), and Nancy (Frank Bonner) and by his grandchildren, Katya, Natasha (Chris), Trevor (Liz), and Scott (Melina). He was 93 years old.

Laddie loved his family and his extended family more than anything in the world and was always interested in hearing every detail of their lives and their accomplishments. He loved people and had a genuine curiosity for all aspects of life, travel, and adventure.

He was a well known and highly respected professional photographer in Edmonton for 23 years and his artistry and eye for detail was evident in his work. He was also a gifted artist who loved to paint and sketch, and he hand-crafted many beautiful pieces of art.

Laddie loved all kinds of music and he played both the piano and the organ, and had a lovely singing voice. He shared his love of the arts with all his children and introduced them to many avenues of artistic creativity. Laddie appreciated poetry and wrote a modest collection of his own poems. He also loved the outdoors and generously passed on his knowledge and respect for the wonders of nature. While Mom was his regular fishing partner, he gladly shared his love of salmon fishing and skills for success with many friends and members of his family. Laddie loved to laugh and possessed a charming wit and a delightful sense of humour that saw him through difficult times. He was a romantic who loved and adored our mother and their life together was a true love story for the ages.

We will forever cherish him in our hearts.

Our family wishes to say thank you to the staff at Sherwood House and most especially to the wonderful VIHA caregivers who looked after our father. We would also like to thank the kind and caring staff at Cowichan District Hospital for the abundant compassion and consideration they showed to Laddie and to all of our family.

Finally, we would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kim Grymaloski for being a guiding light for many years and for the time and care he gave to both our parents.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Vasculitis Foundation of Canada would be gratefully appreciated.

FEDUN, Margaret Gilchrist (nee McMillan) … 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 10, 1921, Mom spent her first years in that home on June 21, which which adjoined her father’s smithy.smithy.

She immigrated to home adjoined her father’s She immigrated Canada byby ship (S.S. Athenia) from Glasgow to to Halifax in to Canada ship (S.S. Athenia) from Glasgow Halifax December 1925 with herher father, mother and two younger in December 1925 with father, mother and two sisters. The family lived in Hilliers, James younger sisters.

The family lived inthen Hilliers, thenIsland James (where(where her youngest brotherbrother was born), then inthen Victoria Island her youngest was born), in West. She went to school James Victoria West.

She went toon school onIsland, JamesVictoria Island, and Sprott Shaw Business College.

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 teachers’ and students’ 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 Dad’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 Mom’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 heart’s content and reunite with family and friends that have gone before her. What a good, long life she had!
