AND THE WINNER IS: THE SHEPPARD FAMILY From the spider that glowers from the roof to the pop-up graves in front Steve and Jocelyn Sheppard of Chemainus went all out to turn their front yard into the spookiest and most fun front yard in the Cowichan Valley this Halloween. There are so many decorations we couldn’t even get them all in one photo. Daughter Kennadie, right, and her friend Marley Ollett enjoy the display Wednesday afternoon as the big night — Oct. 31 — draws ever closer. Jocelyn said the display takes a day to put up and it all gets stored in the Halloween room of the house the rest of the year. Their Christmas display is equally impressive, said neighbours.

Child porn scam banks on victims’ disgust SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A Duncan man was surprised to learn his personal computer was being used to distribute child pornography all over the Internet. Except that it wasn’t. It’s just the most recent telephone scam making the rounds. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a complaint recently while the would-be victim was

still on the phone with the suspected scammers. The suspect, who identified himself as Shawn Patrick, told the man that he was an investigator from Cyber Crimes Control Board of Canada, a body he said works with law enforcement. Patrick was able to tell the complainant what his IP address was and went on to say that the man’s computer was being used

for child porn distribution. Patrick wanted access to the computer so as to put a stop to it. “Our complainant knew this was a bad idea but he was then connected to another man who identified himself as Alfred Jones. He gave his address as 269 Laurier Ave., in Ottawa and said his phone number was 613-4826363,” said a press release issued by the North Cowichan/Duncan

RCMP detachment. “Our complainant knew this sounded pretty hokey and that’s when he put the scammer on hold and called the police.” Mounties quickly confirmed it was indeed a scam and the man did not hand over control of his computer to the scammer. “We also informed our complainant that the RCMP conduct their own investigations and we

do not contract out to private companies,” said the release, noting if police suspected an individual of possessing or distributing child pornography they wouldn’t phone that person up and ask to access their computer. “Expect a knock at the door and a warrant in hand,” said the release.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Cinderella story and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a slipper but N o r t h C ow i c h a n / D u n c a n RCMP are looking to reunite the an Adidas sandal with its owner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then perhaps put him or her in jail. Two suspects left the shoe behind after an incident at the Cowichan Commons Walmart Sept. 10 that saw one of them threaten to shoot a security guard before making off with two power drills, among other items. The duo, a male and female in their twenties, fled in a sil-

ver four door sedan with the Alberta licence plate BRH2861. Police say the plates do not match the car. Only the shoe was left behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The male yelled at the loss prevention officer that he would shoot him if he continued to follow them,â&#x20AC;? said a press release issued by North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. The two suspects are both described as Caucasian. The female has long blonde hair with dark roots. She was wearing a white tank top and short shorts at the time of the theft.

Her partner had short brown hair and had sunglasses on top of his head. He sported a dark t-shirt with a Hurley logo on the chest. T hose with infor ma tion about this or any other crime are encouraged to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at 250748-5522 or Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Those providing information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illicit drugs could be eligible for a cash award.

Yellow cards in the mail a scam: do not give out info

◆ COWICHAN LAKE

Weir meeting at the Lake Nov. 5 LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Cowichan Lake district residents can learn more about the application by Catalyst Paper for changes in its operation of the Cowichan Lake weir at a special meeting at Centennial Hall in Lake Cowichan on Thursday, Nov. 5, starting at 6 p.m. Mayor Ross Forrest said Oct. 27, “With lake levels up and rainfall events forecast for the next two weeks, the boat lock gate will be in the fully raised position and the weir will be shut down for the wet season.

“The lake levels might be at a safe level now but to safeguard against future low level concerns Catalyst Paper is being proactive by submitting an application that will allow it to pump water from the lake if the need for that should arise in 2016 or 2017.” Part of this application involves community consultation and that will begin with an informational open house. There has been widespread interest in the Cowichan River this year as the summer’s extended dry spell highlighted the need for a new look at management of the entire watershed.

The old adage rings true for this one: if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Yet another scam is circulating around the Cowichan Valley. This one involves yellow cards in the mail telling recipients they’ve won prizes. And handy prizes too: $100 in gas rebates available at Esso, Shell, Petro-Canada and more. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP heard the other day from a skeptical resident who had received such a card. Upon calling the 1-800 number it offered, police learned the card-holder needed to provide their credit or bank card information to pay a $3 processing fee in order to claim the prize. “If you win a prize you should not have to pay anyone for it to be delivered to you, whether it’s shipping charges or a processing fee,” explained North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. “You won it, that means it should be free! Please do not offer your credit card or banking information to anyone over the phone or through your computer that you wouldn’t feel comfortable handing to a complete stranger on the street.” Hobday strongly suggests would-be “winners” consider all possibilities that this and other contest offers may be scams. This time, the head’s-up complainant walked away without handing over personal information so all’s well that ends well.

Cpl. Krista Hobday, RCMP. “We can all be enticed by an unexpected prize but we must remember, if it seems too good to be true, then it usually is,” Hobday noted. Check your credit card and banking statements regularly and report any suspicious activity or charges to your financial institution.

Waking up in the dark is a reality for many now that old man winter is rolling in. It won’t be long until commuters will be driving home in the dark as well. With that comes a host of challenges and potential hazards, according to local road safety coordinator Kate Woochuck. With Daylight Saving Time ending at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, Woochuck believes now is the time to remind those planning to be out and about this winter to make sure they are visible. Woochuck and ICBC are working with Carol-Ann Rolls, manager of Cowichan Community Policing’s volunteer programs and services, to remind pedestrians, cyclists and motorists of the hazards shorter daylight hours, inclement weather and reduced visibility bring. “Crashes with pedestrians spike dramatically in fall and winter as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease,” Woochuk said. “When you’re walking, make eye contact, wear bright and reflective clothing, and stay focused on the road. When you’re driving, take extra time to look for pedes-

trians before turning, avoid distractions and be ready to yield.” She recommends motorists avoid distractions and be more aware of pedestrians and cyclists, check twice, yield to pedestrians and be ready to stop. Community Policing volunteers have partnered again this year with ICBC Road Safety to help raise awareness of the importance of pedestrian visibility. Anyone using the roads — pedestrians, those on scooters, cyclists and equestrians — is encouraged to stop by the Community Policing offices on Canada Avenue and pick up a free personal reflector. The reflector should be attached to clothing or gear so that it swings freely along the side of your body facing traffic. “Working with our road safety partners, we are pleased to see the return of the ‘We want to see more of you’ campaign this year,” Rolls said. “We are committed to contributing to community safety, and we hope that this campaign will continue to shift behaviours and encourage pedestrian safety.” Be on the lookout for volunteers in the community trying to bring the message home.

OUR VIEW

Don’t throw out babies with AAP bathwater

ost people don’t really like the Alternative Approval Process, including many politicians serving on local governments. But we urge people to think long and hard before totally throwing the baby out with the bathwater with the current AAPs before the public. These are important items to consider on their own, apart from whatever distaste you may feel towards AAPs in general. Things like the future of flood management in the Valley deserve more than to be dismissed out of hand because you

don’t like AAPs. The Alternative Approval Process is far from a perfect system. It requires 10 per cent of electors to fill out forms and turn them in to the local government to defeat immediate approval of the expenditure. The item may still go ahead if the local government then goes to referendum on the question and gets a majority. Given the general apathy of the voting public towards local government most of the time (just look at the pathetic municipal voting numbers), it can be difficult to reach that 10 per

cent threshold. It usually takes a fairly coordinated effort by an individual or group actively soliciting “no” from an area’s voters. But it’s not fair to blame our local Valley governments for the AAP process. They didn’t think it up. It is the process they are supposed to use. And in some ways, in using it, they are responding directly to the voters who complain about local governments wasting money. Because for all its faults, the AAP costs a fraction of what a referendum costs, yet still give voters some kind of voice.

We’ve never been fans of the idea that every decision should be put before the public in a referendum vote. It’s a cumbersome, expensive and time-consuming notion. And voter apathy is an equal problem in using referenda as a measure of public support. We elect people for a reason: to make decisions for our communities. If we were making all the decisions by constant voting it would be a council of thousands and totally unworkable. It’s not a simple equation. But let’s not cut off our noses to spite our face.

Prime minister should be chosen by ballot Re: “We need electoral reform in Canada” (John Mowat Steven, Oct. 23,) John Steven proposes that we have proportional representation, in which an attempt is made to have the number of seats which a party wins in an election proportional to the number of votes which each party wins across Canada: a party which gets 40 per cent of the votes gets 40 per cent of the seats in Parliament. But it seems that countries around the world which have proportional representation rarely have one of their parties get a majority of the vote. In Canada, this would make it difficult for our

Governor General to meet his requirement to appoint as prime minister the person who has the support of the majority of the members of parliament. The first order of business in a newly elected parliament is to exercise a parliamentary standing order to have a majority of the members of parliament elect a Speaker of the House by secret ballot. I propose that we have a second order of business to have a majority elect a prime minister by secret ballot, a prime minister who obviously has the support of the majority of the members of parliament, who would be accountable to the members of parliament and who could select his Cabinet from all parties. My research indicates that the creation of such

a parliamentary standing order does not require any changes to the constitution or the introduction of new legislation. All it requires is the approval of the members of parliament of a new parliamentary standing order. The election by secret ballot of the prime minister of Canada by the elected members of parliament would introduce democracy into parliament and would simplify and serve electoral reforms such as proportional representation and the elimination of political parties. The prime minister who introduces such a standing order may go down in history as the creator of a modern “Magna Carta”. Robert Radford Duncan

Two weeks ago after taking our two dogs for their usual morning walk in Shawnigan Lake, Brixton showed very unusual behaviour. He is our three-year-old Boston terrier. The other pup is Honey, a fourmonth-old Boston, and she is a foster doggie (today). Both dogs laid down on the rug when they arrived home. Usually, they are lively and happy after their exercise. Brix appeared to have been poisoned. He was rushed to the vet who took one look in his eyes and stated that the dog was stoned! Marijuana apparently was the culprit. Upon returning home, Honey showed the same symptoms. Both dogs recovered after a sound sleep. When we walk the dogs, they are leashed and allowed to be dogs, since it is their walk, not ours. The veterinarian was right and said that this is quite a common occurrence around here. Most likely a discarded joint butt, or a plant growing in the ditch, was the cause. A friend had her two dogs show opposite behaviour (hyper and restless) after ingesting some mushrooms. Apparently this is harvest time for the pot crop, so it is ripe and doesn’t take a lot to affect small dogs — 25 and 16 pounds of healthy energy. What a surprise (and a mean trick), if that is what happened. Good thing it wasn’t a little kid. Fred Buchan Shawnigan Lake For more from the Citizen go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com

AAP for arts underhanded

◆ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MS programs will continue after office closure

David Lloyd protests (‘Inappropriate to endorse Candidate’, Oct. 23) because certain CVRD directors and other local civic representatives endorsed one of the candidates standing in last week’s federal general election — in Lloyd’s mind, a ‘completely inappropriate’ action. So one wonders how he reacted to the spectacle of soon-to-be former PM Stephen Harper shamelessly cavorting with Rob Ford, self-confessed substance abuser and former Toronto mayor (although still a city counsellor), at a rally held in support of the Conservative Party of Canada that Ford and the so-called ‘Ford Nation’ organized just before election day. Will Mr. Lloyd now write another letter of protest about this further example of ‘completely inappropriate’ behaviour on the part of elected civic representatives? Better not hold our breaths waiting for that to happen: hypocrisy and ethical double-standards seem to be deeply ingrained characteristics of the Conservative Party of Canada and its supporters.

The South and Central Vancouver Island Chapter of the MS Society of Canada is proud of the service we have been providing to the Cowichan Valley for more than 15 years. During this time, we have delivered programs and services to people living with multiple sclerosis in our local and surrounding communities, as well as their families and loved ones who are also affected by this disease. To improve access and provide consistent service to all people living with MS in our region, the Duncan office of our South and Central Vancouver Island Chapter is moving to a mobile arrangement — modelled after successful operations in other areas of the province, such as Nanaimo. This change allows us to improve our flexibility and availability via phone and email and to travel throughout our region to meet with our members in person, while significantly decreasing expenses. To ensure that the donations we receive are being directed to where they are needed most — funding much needed research, programs and services — we will be closing the physical office space in Duncan as of Nov. 30.

Steve Koerner Cowichan Bay

It is important to share that all high-quality programs, services and events will continue in the Cowichan Valley. The arts and crafts support group, tai chi classes and education sessions will remain centrally located in downtown Duncan. Our six MS Walk events on Vancouver Island (including the Duncan MS Walk) and our MS Bike–Cowichan Grape Escape will continue to raise funds for the entire region, from Victoria through the south and central island to Parksville/Qualicum and Port Alberni. The public and members may continue to call 250-748-7010, and one of our staff members will be happy to provide information and answer questions. Information and resources will always be available on our website at www.mssociety.ca. We thank our members of the Cowichan Valley for their support during this time of transition.

Seems to me that the $130,000 the CVRD board spent on a communications manager — money saved from “unexpected under-expenditures” — would have covered this. Just another underhanded attempt to sneak permanent increases in budget past the voters. They must be stopped! Vote no! Lefebure is the linchpin to this continuing travesty. Other than in our Valley, three to four per cent was the 2015 tax increase. Attend a board meeting and listen to the shamefaced directors reassuring each other these expenditures are for everyone’s benefit.

Re: Waste collection survey I’ve heard two rumours regarding the waste removal survey that people should know are false. Unfortunately, when faced with a lack of information, people tend to fill the void with what they hear. The first rumour is that the CVRD will contract out the expanded services, if implemented, to local businesses such as PAN Disposal, who happen to be the company serving Mill Bay. While this sounds good, a quick call to PAN and the owner Andrea Davis proves that nothing could be further from the truth. She told me there has been no communication with her company about the survey or the overall plan; and having the CVRD collect the waste could result in the loss of employment for six families. The second rumour is that the rates shown on the survey card appear low because Multi-Materials BC is providing significant funding to the CVRD to subsidize expanded collection. Another quick review, this time of the CVRD’s own website, shows that the funding is just $34 per household per year (about a week’s worth of lattes). Perhaps that is not even enough to cover the cost of the additional totes the CVRD says households will get free for additional services. No large subsidies or funding. Another rumour killed. Personally, I don’t feel comfortable that I know all the information. Therefore, it is difficult to believe the information placed in front of me, such as the annual costs and how they were calculated, let alone the rumours. So how can I, or anyone, provide an honest survey response? Peter Morris Mill Bay

bought it legally and you own it. That establishes ownership. The thing that’s going to happen in some cases is that ATVs may have been through two or three hands and it could have been stolen years back. Now, after [the ATV] goes through the affidavit process and gets registered and it’s in the system, it could still pop up later as having been a stolen unit. “The registration thing is going to make the trading in stolen ATVs a lot harder to do, though,” he said. The move to registration allows B.C. to catch up with its neighbouring provinces. “They are even registered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. B.C. is the only province, from what I understand that didn’t have registration,” Lees said. So hunters who want to take their ATV from here to the prairies, for instance, will have to prove their registration. “We’re comfortable with it, we knew we had to do it. We have always preached that you must carry liability insurance. You have to have it to travel on forest service roads anyway,” he said. Most ATV owners in his experience go to ICBC first for

Off-road vehicle registration and liability insurance are mandatory on Crown land as of Nov. 1. That means that if you haven’t got your paperwork for your ATV or trail bike done yet, you’ve got to get moving. The new regulations promote safe and responsible use of B.C.’s backcountry, and include provisions on number plate placement, rules for child operators and safety equipment requirements. But that’s not all, according to Mike Lees of the Cowichan Valley ATV Club. ATV owners were urged to get licenced starting last year. “It was available last fall. I did it as soon as it came out,” he said. “If you are riding on Crown land, which includes forest service roads, then you must have liability insurance. However, if you are only riding on your own private property, you still have to have it registered but you’re not required to have the licensing.” The Crown land aspect is pretty simple to figure out, he said. “In order to cross the road at a stop sign, you must have insurance. If you cross the highway, if you’re out trespassing on TimberWest or Island Timberlands or whatever, you still have to get there and in order to travel on a gazetted forest service road, you need insurance.” Have ATV owners been calling for this registration? “Well, one of the things that’s been happening is that there have been huge thefts of unregistered ATVs and dirt bikes throughout the province. So there have been calls for licensing from Quad Riders ATV Association of B.C. The only bad thing about it is that now the government, in their wisdom, has decided that if you bought it from somebody else they’re going to hit you for tax if you bought it anytime after 2010.” It’s all about proof of ownership, too. “If you didn’t buy it [your ATV] from a dealership, you have to go to a notary public and swear an affidavit that you

the registration and the minimum insurance and then go to one of a couple of private insurance companies for liability, theft and collision — wherever they can get their best deal. “Those companies are affiliated with the organizations like Quad Riders ATV B.C., they offer us a discount,” Lees said. Nov. 1 is the deadline this time. “If you are caught without being registered and insured, you’re going to get an $840 fine, just the same as driving your car without insurance,” he said. According to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the operating standards call for: • helmets • seatbelts, (if a manufacturer has installed seatbelts, then the seat belt must be worn during the operation of that vehicle). • lights, off-road vehicles (ORV) must use lights during low visibility conditions when riding on Crown land 30 minutes after sunset or 30 minutes before sunrise. • supervision of children. The off-road vehicle registration is integrated within ICBC so it’s straightforward to register. The regulations also offer a sticker option for those vehicles which are unable to house metal plates. Owners who already secured an ORV number plate during voluntary registration can, between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015, bring their registration and metal plate to any ICBC broker and exchange their metal plate for a sticker for no charge. As well, snowmobile owners who have already registered their vehicles under the Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act will be eligible for a refund, up until Nov. 16, when they register under the ORV Act. Voluntary registration has been in place since Nov. 17, 2014, and since then over 35,000 users have registered. As of Nov. 1, 2015, registration will be mandatory. The combined cost of the number plate and registration fee remains $48. For more detailed information on the new ORV regulations there is a detailed FAQ at: www. for.gov.bc.ca/mof/orv/

Mint and other stylists will be helping those in need next week. [SUBMITTED]

Mint offering hair cuts for the needy SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Business partners Ashley Scotthorne and Becky Hogg at Mint Hair in Duncan are teaming up with Street Thug Barbers and friends on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to give free haircuts to the homeless and to those who might not otherwise be able to afford a trim. Street Thug Barbers have a similar practice in downtown Vancouver every Sunday morning. “They have a salon and they work seven days a week but every Sunday morning they get up and they go downtown and they cut people’s hair,” Scotthorne said. “They’re awesome.” After speaking with the barbers, the stylists at Mint decided there’s no reason they couldn’t give back, too. “We thought, ‘what a great idea’. We have a gift and instead of giving money, we can give the gift of giving

hair cuts,” Scotthorne said. A haircut can be a transforming experience, giving renewed confidence and outlook to its recipients. “It is amazing what a haircut can do,” she added. The group has also been gathering up used jackets, clothes, dog food, people food, and various other items the less fortunate may need this coming winter. “We are hoping to have a bit of a free store that day as well,” Scotthorne said. Stylists from other Duncan salons have offered up their services so it is gearing up to be a festive atmosphere at the Mint Salon, right next to the food bank on Garden Street. Those wishing to drop off non-perishables or clothing items can do so before Tuesday. For those hoping to get their hair cut, the event begins on Tuesday Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. The folks at the Trunk Road Starbucks will be supplying the coffee.

For the last couple of months BC Ferries has been offering half price passenger fares on select routes at various times. The offer has been so well received that the company has taken things one step further — this time offering 50 per cent off vehicle rates beginning Nov. 15. According to BC Ferries officials, the passenger promotion through September and October was wildly successful, increasing traffic but reducing congestion by rewarding riders who took advantage of off-peak sailing times. “BC Ferries is offering discount travel to gauge our customers’ response to the concept of saving while travelling on off-peak sailings,” said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries’ president and CEO. “As we progress with our Fare Flexibility and Digital Experience Initiative, set to roll out in 2017, we

are gaining valuable information on shifting our pricing structure to offer savings based on time of day travel, a model commonly used in the transportation and travel industries.” The half price fare will apply to cars, motorcycles, trucks, SUVs, vans or recreational vehicles (discount applies to the first 20 feet of vehicle length only). The promotion begins Nov. 16 on the South Coast routes and will run through Dec. 19. Lower prices will be in effect on select Monday through Thursday and Saturday sailings only. Check bcferries.com for start dates and other information on the North Coast routes. As always, it’s first-come first served on the ferries. Only reservations ensure travellers’ spots are saved. BC Ferries is planning another pricing promotion for next spring.

A contest by the South Island Musical Theatre Society (SIMTS) is aimed at getting elementary-aged children in the Valley’s public schools to learn more about Anne of Green Gables. The famous novel was long ago turned into a popular musical and the SIMTS is presenting that musical at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre in the spring. The offer that went out to the area’s public school children offered the chance to win tickets to the April 2016 production of Anne of Green Gables. Write a short essay explaining what you like about the novel or musical Anne of Green Gables. This essay must be 75 words or less and must be handed in to the school office anytime before Dec. 11. The winner will be announced

“I think this is also a good way to give children the chance to be creative, to write and then to experience live musical theatre.” IRWIN KILLAM, South Island Musical Theatre Society

the second week of January and will receive tickets to one of the performances. “The idea of the contest is to encourage children to read and to come out and see theatre. I think this is also a good way to give children the chance to be creative, to write and then to experience live musical theatre,” said SIMTS president Irwin Killam. “People will be hearing about this now at their schools. It’s for Grades 1-7,” she said. The judges will take note of

the different ages of the students when writing. It’s interesting, she said, to discover that many children have not read the Anne of Green Gables stories. “But they’re reading Harry Potter and things like that. It’s fantastic that they’re reading, of course, but this is a beautiful and famous Canadian story,” she said. T he SIMTS is tr ying to get more of the community involved, she said. The show itself has been cast and the players of the major roles will be out and about in the Cowichan Valley fairly soon to start spreading the word that Anne is coming to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre. So, if you have kids in elementary school, get them reading Anne of Green Gables and then putting their thoughts to paper. The result could be some great entertainment come spring.

tar Trek medicine is becoming closer to reality with a small credit card-sized device using near infrared light to detect possible urinary tract infections. It is an non-invasive tool that will benefit those with spinal cord injuries who can’t detect the normal signs of bladder infection like painful urination. Although not ready for general use yet, it will save healthcare dollars by minimizing lab test costs. The first alert pendant was marketed in 1974 and worked only in the home. Today these devices are very high-tech and some have GPS capabilities so the wearer can go anywhere and still be found. Some also can detect falls and will call for emergency help even though the button is not pushed. There are many different types available. Do your research for the one that is best for you. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms often begin with tremors in the hand and is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress but seems to disappear during sleep. Another PD symptom is bradykinesia which is the slowing down and loss of spontaneous and automatic movement. Both of these symptoms can be controlled by medications and in some cases deep brain stimulation therapy. The biggest advance in drug therapy for Parkinson’s Disease occurred decades ago with a few refinements along the way. But the major breakthrough that will halt or slow the progression of the disease are still elusive. But hope never dies. Work is always going on to discover how to treat major diseases including Parkinson’s. When new drugs come out, our pharmacists will know about it.

inspire them to do more random acts of kindness in their lives.” To that end, Kelsey has printed about 450 “kindness cards” that will encourage the cardholder to perform a simple act of kindness for someone — a neighbour, friend, co-worker, or even someone they don’t know and then hand over the card to that person, encouraging them to do the same. She explained that kindness can be anything from holding a door open, smiling at a stranger, sharing words of encouragement, sharing a snack, or help-

ing someone load their groceries into their car. It doesn’t have to cost a thing and each act provides the opportunity to make kindness a priority. She’s interested to see the results. “It’s like throwing a pebble into a pond. It could have far reaching effects,” Kelsey said. She hopes to drop cards at the Chemainus Visitors centre and at various businesses around town. They can be picked up this week through Nov. 6. She hopes to bring a handful to the Cowichan Valley Visitor Centre as well to encourage the movement to expand elsewhere in the region and beyond. All told, she’s got about 450 cards printed and cut and ready to distribute. “If I just drop a few off and if people do it, they’ll spread around like crazy,” Kelsey said. “If nothing else it’s a very positive thing and there’s nothing wrong with spreading positive feelings around, right?” Since 2008 Random Act of Kindness Day has brought Canadian communities together by engaging citizens in small acts of kindness and generosity. This year over 250 communities across the country will be participating. COMP O

Kindness is cool. That’s why Marlie Kelsey is going out of her way next week to spread some joy. Friday Nov. 6 marks Random Act of Kindness Day and Kelsey sees no reason why the event shouldn’t be celebrated in the Little Town that Did and beyond. “I was on the Internet and I saw that they’re doing it for the very first time in Victoria, Parksville and Qualicum, Nanaimo, and Saturna Island and I just thought in the Cowichan region this is just a perfect thing and we should be doing it here too,” Kelsey said. She pitched it to the folks at the Chemainus BIA and those at the Chemainus Theatre, who she said were all willing to hop on board and lend their support to the cause. “Everybody just thought that’s such a great idea. Obviously we should all be doing acts of kindness every day in our lives but this will be great,” Kelsey said. “My hope is that people perhaps who haven’t thought of doing random acts of kindness will participate and they’ll just see how great it is to do some small act of kindness on Nov. 6, and go ‘wow this is really great’ and it’ll

“My hope is that people perhaps who haven’t thought of doing random acts of kindness will participate and they’ll just see how great it is to do some small act of kindness on Nov. 6, and go ‘wow this is really great’ and it’ll inspire them to do more random acts of kindness in their lives.”

◆ COMING UP IN COWICHAN

Hit the sidewalk in Duncan on Sunday for great deals The annual Downtown Duncan Sidewalk Celebration is back again on Sunday, Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A fun way to kick off the pre-Christmas holiday shopping season, this event has grown to include more than 20 merchants. Originally conceived and organized by Jacquie Large of Wishes, the sidewalk sale was intended as an opportunity for merchants to clear their shelves before the holiday season but it has grown to be a downtown celebration, attracting many customers looking to get an early start on their Christmas shopping.

“Creating a Connected Community” is the theme of this year’s WorldVIU Days at Vancouver Island University’s Cowichan campus during the week of Nov. 2 to 6. The purpose of the week is to raise awareness and build appreciation for the cultural diversity that exists in our community. Various guest speakers, cultural activities and musical entertainment will be showcased throughout the week. The general public is invited to attend. A full schedule of events is available under the Cowichan Campus page on the VIU website at www.viu.ca

Intercultural Society hosting Community Bridging Dance The Cowichan Intercultural Society is holding a Community Bridging Dance on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Duncan United Church. Starting at 7 p.m., admission is by donation. “Please come and bring a friend,” reads a press release from the group. There will be door prizes, snacks, beverages and dance facilitators. It’s also family friendly. Proceeds from the dance will go to support the Multicultural Leadership Group. For more information, go to www.cis-iwc. org

Israeli peace activist heads to Duncan on speaking tour On Friday, Nov. 6, at 10:30 a.m., Yonatan Shapira, a Jewish Israeli activist for peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians, will speak in Theatre 140, the ground floor lecture theatre in the Duncan campus of

Yonatan Shapira, peace activist Vancouver Island University. Yonatan’s talk will be part of a speaking tour of parts of the mainland and Vancouver Island, and will include stops in Victoria (7 p.m., Nov. 5), Nanaimo (2 p.m., Nov. 6), Courtenay, and Denman Island. There is no charge for admission, but a collection will be taken to help cover costs of the tour and to raise monies to contribute to initiatives Yonatan supports. Those include assisting the 18-year-old Jewish Israelis who openly refuse military service and are punished with rotating sentences in military prisons. Yonatan started life on an Israeli military base. His father was a fighter pilot and squadron commander. Yonatan himself spent 12 years as an Israeli air force pilot. In his lifetime he’s undergone a continuing shift in his outlook. In 2003 he played a key role in moving 27 Israeli air force pilots to publicly refuse to fly missions over the Gaza Strip. In 2005 he was a founding member of Combatants for Peace, uniting Palestinian and Israeli former fighters in working to end Israel’s military occupation. Since 2009 he’s been a member of the Israeli group Boycott from Within, supporting the Palestinian call for boycott of, divestment from investments in, and sanctions against Israel. He’s taken part in three maritime attempts to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, in 2010, 2011, and 2012. In the 2012 attempt one of his shipmates was Jim Manly of Nanaimo, former NDP MP and United Church minister. Yonatan considers himself a pacifist. Yonatan’s talk in Duncan is co-sponsored by the Vancouver Island University Department of Anthropology, the VIU Cowichan Campus, and Mid-Islanders for Justice and Peace in the Middle East.

Capitol Theatre showed investors’ faith in Duncan’s future prosperity

to stake their money on the future of Duncan”. Perhaps the large crowd eager to fill the new seats had been encouraged to do so by the fact that manager W.B. Waddell hadn’t charged admission. No children were present, their turn to come with a special matinee the following afternoon. After the speechifying, news reels showed Canadian scenes and two-year-old footage of the Canadian Grand National. The latter was said to have stirred the blood of the sporting types present, as well as affording one and all an opportunity to show their patriotism by applauding Their Majesties King George V and the Prince of Wales.

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. Objections to this application may be filed with the Regional Water Manager, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, 2080 Labieux Rd, Nanaimo, BC, V9T 6J9, within 30 days of this notice. The deadline for feedback is November 29, 2015. 7252772

Q OF A WALKS FOR WORLD FOOD DAY

CAPITOL THEATRE, From Page 21

Students, staff and friends of Queen of Angels School took to the outdoors on a beautiful day, Friday, Oct. 16, for the school’s annual World Food Day awareness walk. The group of youths aged kindergarten through Grade 9 and their teachers — and even some family members — walked from the school to Art Mann Park and back. In the days before the walk the students also held a massive food drive which will benefit the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

Live entertainment (this was before the talkies, remember) was provided by Victoria soloist Miss Virginia Grayland and a band led by Bernard Howard, Chemainus. Some of those present were overawed to the point of asking why “so good a theatre” had been built in such a small town. Manager Waddell smugly answered that, just because people lived in a small town, was no reason that they should settle for less than the best! Actual seating capacity was 396 downstairs and 80 upstairs. The mezzanine was there for another purpose beside that of enlarging the audience capacity: it was reserved for nonwhites. An innovative touch (for Duncan) on the main floor, which sloped towards the screen, was that the seats in the centre section were “jogged” so that spectators could look between the rows of heads in front of them, and seats in the wing sections had been placed at an angle to achieve the same effect. Tall people were assured of ample knee room, the seats being two inches farther apart than those of most theatres. And the latest in projectors meant that patrons didn’t have to shade their eyes from the glare while the projectionist changed reels in mid-film! There was even a new Heintzman piano for G. Schofield, the house pianist. For opening night, Bernie Howard’s band from Chemainus did the honours; on special film nights, an orchestra then still being formed would be on hand. Staff included cashier Miss Bertha Castley, a ticket collector and two ushers. Another marked improvement over the old Opera House was the larger, 720-square-foot orchestra pit with its own concealed entrance. Actors waiting in the pit to ascend the stage by way of a staircase on either side, did so in comfort as it was directly heated — probably as much by the glow of the old-fashioned carbon-arc footlights as from the future vents. And the heavy dark blue velour curtains were said to be not only attractive but a testimonial to Waddell’s multi-talents, he having made them himself. First to show was Zane Grey’s Thundering Herd, starring Jack Hold and Lois Wilson, followed three days later by The Last Laugh. With newsreels, admission was adults, 50 cents, children, 15 cents. The final curtain for the Capitol Theatre came down in the 1960s. www.twpaterson.com

Like us on facebook: BC SPCA, Cowichan & District Branch

Dr. Maha Hajipour

a routine exam which includes 4 bitewings is about 0.005 mSv, which is less than one day of natural background radiation. It is also about the same amount of radiation exposure from a short airplane flight (~1-2 hrs). A lead apron minimizes the exposure to the abdomen and should be used when any dental radiograph is taken. Other strategies used to reduce exposure include computerized radiographs, smaller views(collimation) and smaller time of exposure . Overall,the amount of radiation you get from dental X-rays is relatively small especially when compared with the radiation you receive from the natural background sources.Therefore dental radiographs are considered safe integral part of nearly every new patient exam.

Why should I have dental X-rays? Dental X-rays are a useful diagnostic tool to help your dentist identify hidden decay between your teeth or beneath old fillings.It is simply another diagnostic test to tell you “if you do or do not have a cavity” The necessity of having dental X-rays For more expert advice visit depend on many factors including how cowichandental.ca much dental work you’ve had in the past, For a complementary consultation, your current condition and if you have any with your friendly treatment coordinator, signs or symptoms of dental decay. call Sandy at 250-746.0003. Early intervention might help save a tooth or minimize extensive treatment. But how safe are dental X-rays? Radiation constantly rains down on us from outer space. Natural background radiation exposure accounts for an average of 3.1 mSv/yr with variations depending on where you live and how much time you spend outdoors. For 345 Jubilee St., Duncan

Piggies pummel Port KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Caps slide into top spot KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After building up a four-goal lead over the first two periods on Wednesday night, the Cowichan Valley Capitals weathered a third-period push by the Powell River Kings to win 6-3 and edge into first place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Island Division for the first time in several seasons. “It’s been a long time,” thirdyear head coach Bob Beatty said. “It certainly hasn’t happened since I’ve been here.” The Capitals led 4-0 after two periods and looked to be cruising to victory, but it all changed in a span of less than two minutes starting at 7:22 of the third when the Kings scored three quick goals. “We got a few bounces and our

goaltender [Storm Phaneuf] outplayed theirs in the first period,” Beatty said. “I thought we really placed a decent second period, then we got a little bit sloppy or cute or whatever you want to call it in the third. They had us on our heels. We’ve got to learn to close out games. If we want to maintain the position we’re in, we have to play better.” The Caps regained their twogoal lead when a Powell River clearing attempt went into the net off Cowichan captain Adam Osczevski, and the Caps iced it with an empty-netter. The win pushed the Caps to 21 points on the season, one more than the Kings, who have played one more game than they have. Osczevski finished the game with two goals and an assist,

while Kade Kehoe scored once and added one helper. Ryan Burton, Rhett Willcox and Jared Domin also had singles, and Matt Hudie had a pair of assists. Phaneuf had a stellar outing in net, stopping 40 of 43 shots. On Friday, the Caps visit the Victoria Grizzlies, who have put together the BCHL’s worst record so far this season, then host the Kings once again on Sunday at 2 p.m. “We’ve played Victoria three times and had three one-goal games,” Beatty pointed out. “They lost a tough one [to Nanaimo Wednesday night], so they’re going to be hungry. Powell River is a good team. We’re not neckand-neck with them by accident. To heat them four times in a row will be a challenge.”

The Cowichan Piggies ventured last Saturday into territory that hasn’t often been kind to them, but returned as the conquering heroes after beating the Port Alberni Black Sheep 28-3 in a key First Division rugby test. “That’s a good result for us, especially up there,” head coach Gord McGeachy said. “They were missing a few bodies, a few key players, but for the most part, it was a really solid effort from us.” The match started off relatively even, but the Piggies got on the board first with a try from Rob McDonnell that went unconverted. Tate Rose followed that up with another unconverted score to make it 10-0 before the Black Sheep got all their points for the day on a penalty goal. At the end of the half, Peter Budina slotted a drop goal, and Cowichan led 13-3 at the midway point. The second half started similar to the first, but the Piggies got the first points once again on another drop goal by Budina at the 15-minute mark. Jenner

Even goalie scores as U18 Lightning beat Vic Leading from start to finish, the Mid Island Lightning beat Vic Field 13-8 at the UVic turf last Saturday to improve their record to three wins and two losses in the Vancouver Island Field Lacrosse U18 season. The game was a physical battle, but the Lightning were up to the challenge, led by Dallas

Teufel scored a try seven minutes later and kicked the conversion, Cowichan’s first and only of the game. Andrew Gudmundseth finished the scoring off, giving his team a fourth try and a valuable bonus point in the standings. “It was a pretty solid team effort,” McGeachy said. “The forwards played well as a unit. I think the biggest thing was our team defence. We tackled well as a team; they’re not an easy team to keep off the scoreboard.” The Piggies will be at home to the Nanaimo Hornets this Saturday, kicking off at 1 p.m. “We’re looking to gain a little more traction in the standings,” McGeachy said. “And avenge a pretty embarrassing loss earlier in the season.”

McLaughlin, who dished out big hits alongside fellow defenders Marc Gagnon and Mat Jung. Kyle Page and Thomas Vaesen scored three goals apiece, Jaeden Ashbee, Lucas Nagel and Colton Lidstone had two each, and goalie Parker Teufel got in on the action by running the length of the field to score. The U18 Lightning will be away again this weekend, visiting Pacific Rim on Saturday.

Double tens for DCS T-Birds look to build on Chargers volleyball teams bronze at home tournament KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Both the senior girls and senior boys volleyball teams from Duncan Christian School finished 10th at their respective BC Christian Championship tournaments last weekend. Playing in Surrey at Pacific Academy and Surrey Christian School, the DCS girls team got off to a strong start in pool play, beating Carver Christian and Vernon in straight sets and losing to Richmond Christian to finish second in their pool. The Chargers lost their playoff opener to White Rock, but bounced back with wins over Regent and Vernon before bowing out with a loss to Credo. “The teams were fairly evenly matched,” assistant coach Roz Campbell said of the match with Credo. “During the second set, the DCS Chargers boys team came in to cheer us on and the girls were immediately uplifted. Hannah Day played an excellent final game and Danielle Groenendijk hit aggressively from start to finish. We lost a very tight match, but it was a fantastic game of volleyball and the team finished the tournament on a very high note.” The DCS boys team that came

Cowichan Cubs edged by JDF KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

An outstanding second half wasn’t quite enough for the Cowichan Cubs to beat Juan de Fuca in last week’s Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association game at Evans Park, with the host team settling for a 2-1 loss. “The first half was still scrambly and they got two goals on us,” head coach Marilyn Pugh said. “The second half was much better where people were marking up to their checks closer and being more aggressive. The last 15 minutes of the game were great. The ball was down in Juan de Fuca’s end most of the time and we were creating scoring opportunities.

They didn’t even look like the same team.” Returning to action from a knee injury, Nicole Pugh scored Cowichan’s lone goal on a corner kick from her sister, Rachel, and had several other stellar opportunities. Coach Pugh made some changes to her outside midfielders as the game wore on, and subs Shanice Ryder and Benecia George performed very well. Jennifer Jack also stepped up when she filled in at sweeper for Colleen Bob, who had to leave early for her engagement photos. Pugh also acknowledged the efforts of team athletic therapist Scott Noa of Road to Recovery who attends all Cubs home games to help with sports injuries, and also does strength and conditioning work.

The Duncan Christian School Chargers punched their ticket to the provincial single-A senior boys soccer championships next month by finishing second at the Island tournament at the Cowichan Sportsplex last week. In the 1-0 semifinal win over St. Andrew’s that locked up a top-two slot and a provincial berth, the Chargers got stellar goalkeeping from Vincent Fernandez while Ben Henry broke a scoreless tie midway through the second half.

Bulldogs blown out by Salmon Arm KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A week after playing their best game of the season, the bantam Cowichan Bulldogs suffered a 63-0 setback at the hands of the Salmon Arm Chargers as the two most geographically distant members of the Vancouver Mainland Football League squared off in Langley last Sunday. “We got our lunch handed to us,” head coach Mike Williams said. “We ran into the best team in the league, unfortunately. Salmon Arm is a well-coached, well-polished, and well-executing team. They did pretty much everything right, and we didn’t have any answers.” The Bulldogs lost a few players to injuries in the game, but never surrendered, even when it became clear that a comeback was out of the question. “As a team, we didn’t get down on ourselves, but they were a bigger, stronger,

It was a character builder.” The defeat came on the tail of the Bulldogs’ best outing of the season, a 38-32 loss to the Vancouver Trojans that they very nearly won. “Hopefully we don’t lose the momentum from having a close game the previous week,” Williams said. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs will have to forfeit this weekend’s scheduled road game against the Richmond Raiders, with three players sidelined due to injuries and three more unavailable with other commitments. They will resume the season on Nov. 8 when they visit the Cloverdale Leopards. The midget Timbermen, who had a bye last week, will be on the road this weekend, visiting the Victoria Spartans on Sunday.

Cowichan falls in First Division finale KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

EVENT DETAILS

With their place at provincials already guaranteed, the Chargers finished the tournament with an 8-0 loss at the hands of the defending B.C. champs from Glenlyon Norfolk in the final. Rounding out the field were St. Andrew’s in third, Dwight School Canada in fourth, and the Cowichan Valley Open Learning Cooperative in fifth. Fernandez, Henry and Hosang Kim were named to the all-star team from DCS, while Roy Sumimoto represented Dwight, and Dylan Thomas was selected from CVOLC.

In their last First Division match before beginning Premier League play next month, Cowichan’s women’s rugby team was downed 38-17 by Castaway Wanderers in a game that was closer than the score would suggest. Veteran Carolyn Gudmundseth scored all three tries, with Brittany Brown kicking one conversion. “It was a hard battle, and this was a much better played game by Cowichan then the previous one,” captain Sherry Spence said. “It was really exciting to know that the depth of the players on the bench for our team is of the same level, so they can really make an impact when they sub in.” Sarah Alexander subbed in for starter Rikki Wylie and made some big tackles, while Megan Crump went off the bench for Bristine Gibbons and contributed

some powerful runs. Gudmundseth and Brandi Van Eeuwen were named players of the game by Castaways. The match showed the players what they will need to work on to compete in the B.C.-wide Premier League. “There were enough positives in our set pieces and defensive work, at times, to show that we belong at that level,” coach Steve Cowie said. “But we need to work on team fitness to get to the breakdowns quicker, make better decisions on the field and develop the kind of sharpness in our attack and commitment to the rucks to exploit the other team’s weaknesses and maintain possession through more phases. As coaches we are excited about the possibilities in our team and not the least bit disappointed by the efforts of our women on Saturday.” The Cowichan women will host Comox for an exhibition game this Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

ROGER BURGESS

June 1947 – October 2015 Surrounded by loving care in Victoria hospice, Roger died peacefully on Oct. 19th 2015, after a short battle with brain cancer. His many friends, colleagues and family will miss his strong leadership and competitive spirit. Born in England, Roger immigrated to Canada as a young man. He had varied careers in marine and oil insurance, construction management and quantity surveying. Throughout his working life he was always active – renovating the family house, sailing, hiking, camping and partaking in many other pastimes. He was a supportive and caring father for his two sons, Michael and Stewart and loving husband to his wife, Marie. After retirement he volunteered for many organisations, helping update constitutions, bylaws, designing plans to rebuild and restore old and new buildings, planting apple trees, always planning with an eye to the future. Wildwood and the Eco Forestry Institute, Wace creek improvement district, Mill Bay tennis club, Camp Fircom on Gambier Island, several Cowichan Valley Regional District committees, the Mill Bay Historical Society, Keating farm estate, the Victoria MG car club, and Ross Bay Villa among others have all benefitted from his work on their behalf. An avid gardener, skier, tennis player, MG racer and tourer, he was never still except when reading for hours at the library. He always had a project going, his or some else’s, and it was always accompanied by a dry sense of humour. He will be thoroughly missed by his family, his many friends and his community at large. A heartfelt thank you for all the gentle care and counselling from the volunteers and nurses at Victoria Hospice. Also thank you for the good professional care from the doctors and nurses at VGH, Jubilee and the Canadian cancer agency. And a big thank you for all the support and good wishes from friends and family. Sunday November 1st 2015 from 12pm to 4pm in the garden at 454 Goulet Rd. Mill Bay. Wear your coat and your boots!

He had countless friends throughout his life who he cherished immensely. Darrel’s hard work and the pride he took in everything he did was evident in his many accomplishments. He was a well respected building contractor with his own business and volunteered as President of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association - Victoria. His most recent years were spent at Shawnigan Lake, a place he loved to call home. A celebration of Darrel’s life will be held at 1:00pm, November 8, 2015 at Glen Meadows Golf & Country Club, 1050 McTavish Rd, Sidney.
