BUSINESS

Black Tie Awards celebrate best in Valley ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN WITH PHOTOS BY PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN

A dog, a robot and a sold-out crowd all combined at Brentwood College on Saturday night to honour the best of the business community at the 20th annual Black Tie Awards. Presented by the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce and a variety of sponsors, the awards recognized top names in eight categories, along with Lifetime Achievement Award winner Jim Dias. Winners are nominated first by the community, then go through a rigorous process to narrow the field to three finalists in each category. Duane Shaw of Mill Bay Marine Group, who took home the Black Tie for Business Achievement 20 or more Employees, summed up the feeling of the business community when he accepted his award, saying “It isn’t about the place, it is absolutely about the people,” whom he called “fantastic and substantial.” Other winners were Chris and

CHEMAINUS

Village on board for a new walkway ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

The long-standing dream of a seaside boardwalk in Chemainus may soon be a reality. The idea of a boardwalk on the waterfront in the community was endorsed by more than two-thirds of respondents at an open house in September that was held by the Municipality of North Cowichan as part of its Chemainus Revitalization Plan. Plans for the boardwalk are in their early stages, and concept designs have yet to be made, but the municipality has budgeted $650,000 towards the project in its capital-improvement budget for 2018, with more funding earmarked for the project likely in following years. The municipality will have to seek the permission of Island Health, which owns and operates the Chemainus Health Care Centre that is on waterfront property, to develop a section of the boardwalk in front of the centre, as well as other impacted property owners, and public consultation sessions will be held with the community as plans proceed. Kathy Wachs, chairwoman of the Chemainus Residents Association, said a waterfront boardwalk in her scenic community would be a “great addition for both tourists and local people.” She said a private developer was proposing to build a boardwalk, which also

included plans for a marina and a development of seaside condos, in Chemainus a number of years ago, but it didn’t proceed partly because the financing for the project fell through. Wachs said the project, which was opposed by a slim majority of local residents, also faced problems when Island Health stated it didn’t want condos constructed close to its health centre due to noise and other issues. She said the municipality should have less trouble with Island Health and other members of the community if the plan doesn’t call for any housing developments on the waterfront. “I believe the long-term plan would be that a boardwalk may attract someone to want to build a marina in Chemainus, which has long been on the municipality’s wish list,” Wachs said. “What I see is a beautiful boardwalk with signage pointing out significant landmarks in the area running from the bottom of Oak Beach to Kin Beach, which is about two city blocks.” Jon Lefebure, mayor of the Municipality of North Cowichan, said the exact designs and final costs of the boardwalk have yet to be determined. “This is still just in the beginning phases, so figuring out the final budget and the design of the boardwalk won’t likely be on our radar prior to 2018,” he said.

See house of the future CITIZEN

A “future home” that will showcase some of the most cutting-edge technology available today, as well as providing a sneak peek at smart-home innovations on the horizon, will soon be visiting the Cowichan Valley. TELUS is bringing the 560 square-foot home, which is powered by TELUS fibre, to the parking lot on the corner of Duncan’s Canada Avenue and Ingram Street on April 15-19. It will demonstrate the potential of stateof-art fibre optic networks and offer a pre-

view of what will be possible when homes are connected at the speed of light. The future home offers an immersive-technology experience that will demonstrate how technology can make lives safer, healthier and more efficient. The home’s new technology includes biometric security systems that will allow people to secure their homes using facial recognition, smart fridges that will help plan menus and intelligent thermostats and lighting that will reduce energy costs. The future home will be on location from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 15 and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 16-19.

OUR VIEW

Time to protect rent-paying pet owners

t’s time for British Columbia to do what Ontario has done and make it impossible for landlords to kick someone out for owning a pet. Ontario’s laws are by no means perfect, as landlords can still legally refuse to rent to someone who tells them they have a pet, but can do nothing if that turns out to be a lie. Which, as you can imagine, has led to some less than optimal landlord-tenant relationships. Unless of course the pet and their owner end up trashing the place — then it’s cut and dried. Which is the bottom line

anyway, and the reason that landlords often refuse to allow tenants to have pets, or limit the size or number of pets a tenant can move in. There seems to be a lot of fear out there for some reason that pet owners are somehow more likely to trash a place than a non-pet-owning tenant. We do not understand this. If somebody is prone to destroying a residence, they’re going to do it whether they have help from a pet in their destruction or not. There are plenty of ways a single individual can trash a place

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

— holes in walls, soiled carpets and curtains, broken fixtures and more. None of those things need involve a pet. Most pet owners are responsible. They love their furry friends like children and clean up after them. Some landlords have clearly never been pet owners themselves. No dedicated pet owner would ever ask another if they would be willing to get rid of their pet in order to rent an apartment. It’s terrible that that’s a choice some people end up being forced to make.

A gut-wrenching, terrible decision. So while it’s not good to lie to your landlord, we understand why some people do. Pets improve quality of life immeasurably. They provide love and companionship — but they are a responsibility. And there are some bad pet owners. We understand that landlords and building owners don’t normally refuse to rent to pet owners out of hatred of pets, but out of fear of what could happen to their property. Perhaps they’ve had a bad experience in the past, or have just heard horror stories

Crofton mill a worse culprit than burning

through the grapevine from their contemporaries. It’s never the wonderful pet owner stories that make the rounds, we imagine. We urge them to give a pet owner wanting to rent a chance. Or take a second chance on another pet owner. Because there are bad non-petowning tenants who are loud, obnoxious, threatening, don’t pay the rent and more. Singling out the pet owners just doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. So we’d like to see more rights for pet owners enshrined in law.

British Columbia should Communities in Bloom have pet law like Ontario doing outstanding job Re: “Pet pooches make finding a home difficult” (April 8) The article reminded me that Ontario has a law that renders all “no pets” clauses in leases void. This means landlords cannot evict a tenant that has pets unless the pets are causing damage or significant disturbances. They’ve had this law since at least 2006. Surely Ms. Bowman can get together with her MLA, the SPCA, the Minister for Housing and Social Development, and others, and lobby the B.C. government to do the same? April J. Gibson Duncan

This is in part a letter that I have been meaning to send for the past four years. Simply put I want to both thank and congratulate Communities in Bloom for doing such a magnificent job of making so much in the streets of Chemainus look absolutely wonderful. This is particularly the case now and last year inasmuch as they have been given probably twice the acreage, with all the new flower beds built by the municipality, that they originally committed too. Thank you and well done, indeed, very well done. Further I would like to offer

them the seeds of an annual, a sort of no known name, that under their care might evolve into a very useful addition to their already rich repertoire. The plant is a six to eight inch high, annual, with abundant upward facing star like soft red flowers. The seeds that I have gathered are so tiny that my old eyes cannot sort them. What is needed is a sharp eyed gardener with access to a well watered soil in a sunny spot so you are welcome to them;. I would hate to see them go to waste. Fergus Anderson Chemainus www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com

The response to ongoing public complaints sent in (regularly) by a prominent Cowichan painter about airborne woodsmoke and yard burning are entertaining; facetious even. Driving from the north into Duncan on a clear sunny day, no one can fail to observe how the belching smoke from the Crofton Mill, framed by a clear blue sky, lights up the sky like — well — a piece of artwork. Sometimes the whitish smoke goes vertical, but far more often its tentacles are reaching out lower down to all and sundry. When it’s cloudy and grey, the mill smoke can pretend it’s not there. But when a south-east wind is blowing, as I’ve observed several times, the odour gets right into one’s car (never mind your house), even with the windows closed. As good as having the “family dog” break wind while we drivers watch the smoke eagerly heading south to Duncan. You get my drift. The daily Crofton mill emissions, especially the odour (less toxic than years back but still loaded with particulates), make the Great Wood Burning Debate look like a backyard Sunday barbecue squabble. Therefore I challenge the said (respected) artist to take a drive north on the TCH and its environs on a south-easterly, smoky mill day, shop for veggies before the Chemainus bridge, a favourite venue for mill-smoke, and then sock it to the Cowichan Valley public (especially in the Chemainus-Crofton area) with yet another edict about shutting down those annoying backyard burners and scurrilous owners of energy-saving woodstoves.

Advice for your 20-year-old self? Philip Wolf

The Temp

thought-provoking piece from Robert Barron appeared in Friday’s Cowichan Valley Citizen. He visited a seniors home and asked residents the above question. There were plenty of wise responses, ranging from career and relationship advice and beyond. The most interesting aspect of the story for me was asking the question of myself. Now, we’re not talking about having the ability to hop in your time machine, go back and remind yourself to purchase Apple stock. Or head to Vegas and lay big money on Buster Douglas to beat Mike Tyson. Just solid life advice for your future self. For me, the list wouldn’t be too long. I’m not a giant regrets guy. I’ve done some dopey things — but you own it, learn from it and on.

The only specific thing I know I’d tell myself for sure (other than pointing out that white pants rolled up to the calves, pastel shirts and Don Johnson-style white jackets may not be the best fashion decision) would be to ensure my Mum visited a specialist much sooner instead of bravely suffering through a situation that should have turned out differently with an earlier diagnosis. Losing her when I was 21 wasn’t fair then or now. The best advice I’d give young me would be to create a more diverse collection of memories. Travel more. Experience other cultures. Go beyond your comfort zone and take a few risks. Learn earlier in the game to focus less on yourself and more on others. Also, don’t spend half-ahouse on frivolous antics. Much of my 20s were spent on self-indulgent silliness. Work, work out, go out. Hey, 20-year-old me: Exactly how many times did you need to see the inside of The Roxy? Was doing the Monty’s/Club Cal/Merlin’s/back in time to see the fights in the parking lot at the Galaxy circuit really

necessary on a Wednesday night? And a Thursday night? And a Friday night? Was it really necessary to buy that extra tray of glow-inthe-dark shooters? All those times? Did you believe your system enjoyed those 3:30 a.m. 7-Eleven ‘meals’ of Beefaroni and Doritos? Memories? Sure. Stories to share all these years later with your buddies? I guess. But even turning half of those stories into exploring more of the world while I was young and unencumbered would surely have provided even more stories. Ones with a little more depth. Or at the very least, tales about London’s version of Kits Pub. Most importantly, if 20-yearold me knew how profoundly 30-year-old me would be affected by the birth of my son, he surely would have at the very least foregone a few trays of shooters and focused on actual important things earlier. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Philip Wolf is a regional editor for Black Press. He can be reached at philip.wolf@ black press.ca

Fixing train tracks would take too much money Re: “Train: yay or nay!” Quite different from the relative value of a good train service, I have no confidence whatsoever that the rail service on the Island can ever be successful. The staggering cost involved will never be covered by its use, which means that it will be a giant albatross around the taxpayers’ necks until it fails again. The rail line is in such a state of disrepair that the cost of making it safe again, let alone the cost of running it efficiently, is far and beyond any number of dollars being talked about by ICF. If and when it is ever is back in service, going in the right direction, with enough trips in a day to make it attractive to commuters,

the ticket price, and the time it will take to take people to get to their destinations, including times to transfer to buses, will drive people back to their vehicles. As to freight, trucking and courier companies will be hard to beat. I’ve maintained in the past, and still believe, that turning the entire rail bed into a walking/cycling trail would bring more economic spinoff from tourism than the train could provide at far less cost, not to mention the pleasure it would bring to the towns and villages that line the tracks. Nothing is beyond salvage if one throws enough money at it, but, for my money, ICF is beating a dead Iron Horse.

Nor th Cowichan Coun. Joyce Behnsen watched her house go up in flames on Thursday afternoon. Behnsen was at home when the fire broke out in the house, located across Highway 18 from the Duncan Meadows Golf Course. She managed to get out unhurt. Her husband was working off the Island, and her daughter was at work in Duncan. A dog and a cat didn’t manage to escape in time. The house was a complete loss, and had to be taken down with an excavator once the flames were extinguished. Most of the contents were destroyed as well. “We found a couple of small artifacts we were able to save,” South End fire chief Scott Henning said. “Some pictures and paperwork.” The flames also destroyed a garage, an RV, and at least one truck. In addition to 28 firefighters from the South End hall, crews from Duncan and Sahtlam were called out for assistance. The fire took four and a half hours to put out. By the time crews arrived, the house was engulfed, and there was nothing they could do to save it. “It wasn’t safe to enter,” Henning said. “There was not a lot of overhaul for us to do.” The cause of the fire hadn’t been determined as of Monday afternoon, but Henning said it appeared to have started in the garage. Behnsen could not be reached for comment. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure confirmed on Monday that she was in good condition, but said he hadn’t spoken with her since the fire. “I think we can all imagine that having lost all her possessions, she’s going through a tough time,” he said. Lefebure said he didn’t expect the situation to have a long-term effect on Behsen’s service as a councillor. “I know that she is resilient, and I don’t think this will change her dedication to the job,” he said. “I’m sure she will be back and operational as soon as she can be.”

Nicon Developments celebrates 40 years

New officers for Chemainus Chamber

Nick Woywitka, owner of Duncan-based Nicon Development Ltd., and his staff and subcontractors have constructed more than 1,200 housing units since he started the company 40 years ago. They constructed the Chemainus Theatre, additions to the Island Savings Centre and the building of a number of schools in the Valley during the past four decades in business. Woywitka said the secret of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned to keep his â&#x20AC;&#x153;nose above the waterâ&#x20AC;? during economic downturns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economy is cyclical and, after the last seven years of recession, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just now starting an economic upswing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recently held an anniversary celebration that had more than 100 staff, subcontractors and suppliers there. The future looks bright for the business.â&#x20AC;?

George Gates, from Chemainus Village Computer Centre, is the new president of the Chemainus & District Chamber of Commerce for a one-year term. The chamber also chose Chris Istace, from Beyond the Usual, as its first vice president at its recent AGM, and Lana Halme, from Downtown Auto, as second vice-president. Brad Grigor, from Turning Point Arts, is the new secretary -treasurer for the year. The new directors are Barb Bond from Silver Mine on Chemainus, Anita Voisin from Chemainus Family Eyecare, Julie Stevens from Maple Lane Cafe & Catering, Lilli Young from Timeless Rose B&B, Warren Goulding from Chemainus Valley Courier, and Aly Tomlin from Riot Brewing Company.

mpersand Distilling Company in the Cowichan Valley has taken home top honours in the gin and vodka categories at BC Distilled 2016, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier craft and micro-brewery festival. The distilleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ampersand Gin and Per Se Vodka were both voted audience favourites out of more than 100 products sampled at the festival. Ampersand Distilling is a family-owned and operated business that makes crafts spirits from organic B.C. wheat. The distilleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship product, Ampersand Gin, received a silver medal at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was voted 2015 Local Beverage of the Year by EAT Magazine readers. Though trained as engineers, father and son duo Stephen and Jeremy Schacht have used their knowledge of science and traditional distilling techniques to create the hand-crafted distillery. Ampersand spokeswoman Jessica McLeod said the success of the distillery since it began operations in late 2014 has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelming.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly surprised by the fervour with which our products has been met,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe our success is because of the quality ingredients and the unique technologies that we use in our distilling processes, and the talents of all involved.â&#x20AC;?

CONTAMINATED SOIL

Fight on to keep operating during appeal ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

The BC Court of Appeal is expected to decide by April 15 whether the controversial contaminated soil site on Shawnigan Lake can resume normal operations, at least for the time being. The owners of the soil dump site, Cobble Hill Holdings and South Island Aggregates, presented their case to the BC Court of Appeal on April 6 after the BC Supreme Court ruling last month that determined that a contaminated soil facility was not a permitted use on their Stebbings Road property. That decision put a stop to the importation of contaminated soil at the site, but the companies appealed the ruling and want to be given the green light

BRIAN CARRUTHERS to continue importing soil until the appeal is heard at a yet to be determined date. The companies are arguing that they are facing financial

hardships because they have no revenue while their operations have been curtailed pending the appeal. But lawyers for the Cowichan Valley Regional District, which brought the case to the BC Supreme Court, argued that if the BC Court of Appeal allows operations to continue until the appeal is heard, there will be even more contaminated soil that will have to be removed from the site if the court orders it at a later date. “We’re happy that the companies have stopped the importation of soil, and we certainly don’t want to see more soil added to that facility,” said Brian Carruthers, the CVRD’s CAO. Carruthers said the CVRD also submitted a notice of cross-appeal to the BC Court

of Appeal on April 7 requesting an order to remove the soil-management facility and all contaminated soil from the site. Although the BC Supreme Court declared in last month’s ruling that the landfill facility is a prohibited land use, the court denied the CVRD’s request for an order to have the contaminated material and associated facilities removed from the property. As a result, work is currently ongoing with the soil that was brought to the site before the court’s ruling. “We were successful on almost all counts in the case that was heard by the BC Supreme Court, but not this one,” Carruthers said.

Methadone services increasing PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN

7517140

“We just applied for the cross appeal, so we expect it may be late summer or the fall before there is a decision on it by the court.” A judicial review of the project that was instigated by the Shawnigan Residents Association has also recently concluded in the BC Supreme Court, but it’s not known when a verdict will be reached in that case either. In the meantime, BC Supreme Court Justice Robert Sewell has made a commitment to the SRA to make a decision “as soon as possible” on the association’s application to have work on the site stopped until the court makes a final decision on the judicial review and the future of the project.

Approximately 20 of the methadone patients left without local service by the departure of Dr. Mark Greenspoon at the Canada Avenue Clinic are now receiving methadone from another area doctor and more local service prescribing methadone will be available in the next few months. The Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice provided the update in an April 7 e-mail to the Citizen. “While we currently have limited availability for methadone prescrib-

ing in Cowichan, more capacity is expected in about three months,” wrote CVDFP Executive Director Valerie Nicol. “A doctor at the Beverly Medical Clinic who does methadone prescribing has taken on approximately 20 of the displaced methadone patients in Duncan. This doctor anticipates having capacity to take on more methadone patients in two to three months. Another doctor at the Beverly Medical Clinic has recently started the training to do methadone prescribing training and will also be ready to see patients in about three months.”

HISTORY

Rededication of Nanaimo memorial recalls coal tragedy

T.W. Paterson

Chronicles (Conclusion) Dr. William Renwick noted that the injured men’s shirts had been “burnt to a tinder”.

Dr. Cluness is now attending to the patients.” Again, to the jury: “I can’t say that I saw Dr. Renwick the worse for liquor.” To the coroner, Dr. Cluness: “Never saw Dr. Cluness take a glass of liquor in my life, nor have I seen him under the influence of liquor during my stay at the hospital.” That’s as much as we know from this line of questioning in

the doctors had extolled the exemplary care and attention given to the patients by themselves and the nurses. But during the Jackson inquest, male nurse Richard Williams, in answer to a question from a juryman, replied, “So far as I have been on the day shift the doctors and nurses have done their duty; I never saw Dr. Davis, who was on the day shift, take a drink of liquor while on duty.

s we’ve seen, the July 29, 1886 explosion of coal dust during the loading of the ship Queen of the Pacific severely burned a dozen men, nine of them, it would prove, fatally. Six of them, longshoremen from Seattle, were remembered in a special ceremony in Nanaimo in September 2014. As the deaths mounted, one of the series of inquests took a curious turn. At each inquiry

the reports in the Nanaimo Free Press. But one has to wonder at the fact that, just weeks later, the newspaper reported that Dr. Cluness had died suddenly — of, as it was determined by autopsy, cirrhosis of the liver. To date the death toll stood at six Seattle longshoremen and two others. See COAL TRAGEDY, Page 13

Wounded from the disaster wiped out hospital resources COAL TRAGEDY, From Page 12 William Robee, James (William) Kade, Hans Hanson, Patrick Priestly, August Johnson, William McDonald (originally identified as John Macdonald) and Henry Jackson, seaman of the Queen of the Pacific, and George Watch of Nanaimo had already died. Recovering were the ship’s first assistant engineer, William Allison, water tender Richard Parle and seaman James Coffee. At the official inquiry, held a month later, Allison and Parle testified but Coffee remained hospitalized and, it seems, had no memory of the accident other than his being burned. Luckily for Allison he’d been out of the direct line of fire and his injuries were the least serious. Parle, who said he was the first hit by the blast, thought that it was Allison’s lantern, an ordinary lamp such as used in a home, that sparked the blast. Vancouver Coal Co. manager Samuel Robins deposed that he’d been assured by the ship’s officers that naked-flame lamps weren’t used below decks while loading coal and that smoking was forbidden. He said that he was confident that the coal dust had ignited as an undetonated charge left in the coal would have created two explosions — its own and that of the coal dust. Professional colliery manager John Bryden concurred although he didn’t attribute the blast to Allison’s lantern because “the flame came to him, struck him and knocked him backwards”. VCC loading manager Harry Cooper testified that the Pacific was one of the best ventilated ships in the trade, that “there was no more than the usual amount of dust for the summertime; it was very hot but there was a slight breeze”. He said that longshoreman Hanson assured him that they’d used only covered lights but he was convinced that the explosion was caused by an open flame, as was the general practice aboard sailing ships: “Have heard it said that the men smoke in the hold”. Dr. William Renwick testified that the first three deaths were the result of shock, the rest from “inflammation of the internal organs, particularly the brain”. He made the interesting observation that the men’s shirts had been “burnt to a tinder”.

Coal Trimmer James Lawrence saw no naked lights although it was common practice to use them, but did notice “one man especially, smoking”. He initially thought that the ship’s boiler had exploded and that there had been a second flash of flame. The final witness, coal trimmer William Crowe, also thought that the boiler had “bursted”. He’d noticed an open-flame lamp burning that morning and, on a previous shift, he’d observed another trimmer and a ship’s officer smoking between decks. Despite the need for ventilation, two of the ship’s portholes had been ordered closed, he said. A month after the disaster, the Nanaimo hospital board appealed to the public for old cotton and linen rags for bandages — “the great number of patients suffering from burns having entirely exhausted the previous kind donation”. Worse than that, with only four of the injured men having any form of medical coverage, the hospital had been beggared; in mid-September a fundraising benefit was staged in Wel-

lington to raise additional operating funds. As it happened, the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., owners of the Queen of the Pacific, came through with a cheque for $2,002 and a warm thank you for the hospital’s care and attention given its injured seamen. Nanaimo citizens were startled to hear that the Tacoma Ledger had quoted an informant, identified only as “one who knew,” to the effect that it was a miner’s unexploded cartridge left in the coal that did the damage; but the Free Press held fast to its belief that an explosion other than one caused by coal dust would have caused considerably greater injury to the men and damage to the ship. All the while, for nine torturous weeks, seaman James Coffee had held on, finally succumbing, the doctors said, to exhaustion. They’d wanted to amputate his right arm but didn’t think him strong enough to survive the operation. Dr. Renwick thought he’d survived so long, despite having a pre-existing medical

condition, because of his strength and “recuperative power.” The final inquest concluded with Dr. W.N. Jones graphically detailing the horrendous extent of the injuries suffered by Patrick Priestly. The six longshoremen weren’t forgotten by their co-workers of the Stevedores, Longshoremen & Riggers Union of Washington, W.T. who, within weeks, established a memorial in Nanaimo and expressed their gratitude for the kindnesses shown them: “We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation of the services rendered our six comrades... Should the opportunity ever present itself, the people of Nanaimo may rest assured that the longshoremen of Seattle will endeavour to repay the debt that they so justly owe them.” The memorial was rededicated in September 2014 by the International Longshoremen Warehouse Local 19 and the Seattle Pension Club.

REVIEW

Strong cast makes ‘Annie’ a delight to see JAMES GOLDIE CITIZEN

“Don’t it feel like the wind is always howlin’?/What’s a day you don’t wanna throw the towel in?”

hese lines, sung by the eponymous character in Annie’s show-opening (and probably most famous) tune ‘It’s a Hard-Knock Life,’ might very well have applied to the Kaatza Lakeside Players a year ago when rumours were swirling the theatrical society might be shutting down. Any lingering questions about the group’s future should be put to rest with this spring’s delightful rendition of Annie, which opened on Thursday. Artistic director Dena McPhee could not have picked a better show to reintroduce musical theatre to the lake district, after a one-year pause following The Wizard of Oz in 2014. Set in 1930s New York City, Annie is the story of a sharp-witted (and sharptongued) orphan girl who is desperate to escape the bleak and miserable conditions of her home at an inner city orphanage that’s run more like a sweatshop. Although her attempts to run away are ultimately thwarted, Annie’s fortunes turn around when she’s selected to spend Christmas with (and is later adopted by)

Annie (Isabella Atchison), centre, gives her locket to Oliver Warbucks (Terry Finch), left, and his secretary (Annette Jamieson) hoping it will help to locate her parents. [JAMES GOLDIE/GAZETTE] billionaire businessman Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. Annie does more than charm audiences with a dozen or so young, local actresses playing a horde of ragamuffin orphans — this production is nurturing and training a whole new generation of Cowichan Lake

performers. And the potential McPhee has tapped into is apparent from the moment the lights come on in Act One and the opening notes of ‘It’s a Hard-Knock Life’ begin to play. Eleven-year-old Isabella Atchison stars as Annie, and one would never guess this is her first lead role. Atchison’s voice is clear and steady, and even though she’s got more stage time than any other actor in the production, she keeps her energy up until the very end. The scenes involving a live dog — a stray named Sandy that Annie befriends — had

the potential to throw off even the most seasoned of actors, and yet Atchison never flinched. She made it through all her lines and songs, even as the pooch sniffed at her pockets in search of treats. And while it’s hard for any actor to compete with an adorable animal on stage, the play’s human scene-stealer was undeniably Lindsay Anderson in her role as Miss Hannigan, the boozing, lying and all-around-wretched orphanage matron. “I love my job. It’s kids I hate,” she says at one point, before taking a swig from a bottle she keeps jammed in her left sock. It’s debatable whether the first part of that line is true, but the next sentiment certainly is. It’s hard to imagine anyone else filling the role of Miss Hannigan. The character’s wild and unpredictable personality swings — from snarling at the orphans to sobbing in despair, from sneering at Grace Farrell to spit-shining a seat for her — appear utterly natural in Anderson’s command. Annie also features strong performances from Terry Finch as Daddy Warbucks and Brandon De Pol as Miss Hannigan’s scheming brother, Rooster, although I think my favourite supporting role had to be that of Lily St. Reigs (Daniella Grieves), Rooster’s gold digging girlfriend whose squeaky Jersey accent is everything you could hope it to be. In addition to a large and talented cast, the production features an impressive set design, with a large rotating backdrop that transitions seamlessly between the orphanage, the streets of NYC and the Warbucks mansion.

CHEMAINUS THEATRE

Music superb in Cash show PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN

ing of Fire is back and it’s hotter than ever. The production takes you through Johnny Cash’s life from his family’s early days of cotton-picking poverty in rural Arkansas to his rise as an American music icon, along the way dealing with tragic loss, falling in love, facing addiction and personal demons and finding wisdom and deep religious faith. The show was marked by incredible performances and harmony between the talented cast members, as well as topnotch instrumental accompaniment. In all there were more than three dozen Cash songs performed ranging from ‘Daddy Sang Bass’ to ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’ and gospel standards that defined the religious side of Cash like ‘Angel Band’ and ‘Will the Circle Be Unbroken?’ were very well done. Another highlight included a duet of ‘I Still Miss Someone’ between Cash (Timothy Brummund) and Cash’s first wife Vivian Liberto (Andrea Cross) that blended their voices exquisitely across the stage in the melancholy tune. The audience clapped along during upbeat gospel songs and during the lively duets between the younger Cash (Jonas Shandel) and his second wife June Car ter (Samantha Currie) like ‘Jackson.’ The song ‘I’ve Been Everywhere’ was enor-

Ring of Fire is a musical biography of musical icon Johnny Cash. It runs until April 23 at the Chemainus Theatre. [SUBMITTED PHOTO]

mously impressive and catchy, with Shandel, Currie and Brummund switching in to zip through verses of the geographic smorgasbord of a song. Shandel does most of the singing as the younger Cash, while Brummund is the narrator and the grown-up, reflective Cash looking back on his life and love. The rest of the cast lends their voice and talents to supporting roles musically and through scenework. The love story between Cash and Carter forms the anchor

of the show, with the duet “Far Side Banks of Jordan,” closing the show as June (Currie) foretells that if she dies first (which she did) she’ll wait in Heaven for Cash. The audience rose in several standing ovations at the end, leading to an encore performance of ‘A Boy Named Sue.’ The cast includes artists who will be familiar to the audience and newcomers to the festival stage, including Brummund, Shandel, Currie, Cross, Alexander Baerg, Scott Carmichael, Daniel Kosub and Mark MacRae. Outstanding work was also done behind the scenes, from set/projection designer Erin Gruber, costume designer Crystal Hanson, sound designer Paul Tedeschini, live mixer Andrew Nicholls, lighting designer Rebekah Johnson, stage manager Anne Taylor and apprentice stage manager Linzi Voth. Conceived by William Meade and created by Richard Maltby Jr., Ring of Fire is a musical biography about hitting rock bottom and finding the faith to carry on. Chemainus Theatre has done a brilliant job in bringing it back for a second season and Cash fans and newcomers alike will be wowed by the show. Ring of Fire runs until April 23 with both evening and matinee shows. For tickets call 1-800-565-7738 or visit www. chemainustheatre.ca.

generations! But it can serve to show the large variation in drivers who use our roads today. To put it all in perspective, a driving examiner confided in me that even after passing through the Graduated Licensing Program, drivers still only possessed the basic skills necessary to drive well and that further training would be needed to become a really accomplished safe driver. What does that say about my mother and I? Aside from enforcement action, Moving to Vision Zero establishes the following priorities: the development of a sector-wide provincial road safety calendar of education and awareness initiatives; the development of a best practices toolkit for education and awareness events; the creation of a provincial road safety logo; and the building of a network for distributing education and awareness campaigns. Hmm, advertising and tickets, no mention of testing, training or incentive to improve skills. I’ll have to re-read the document, maybe I missed it...

‘Honor Diaries’ hits the screen in Duncan.

Documentary takes critical look at ‘honor’ violence Violence against women is a worldwide human rights problem that will be highlighted during Prevention of Violence Against Women Week from April 17 to 23. Duncan United Church Social Justice group, together with Warmland Women’s Support Services Society, presents the documentary film Honor Diaries: Culture is No Excuse for Abuse, on Thursday, April 14 at 7 p.m. at the Duncan United Church at 246 Ingram St. in Duncan. The documentary features nine Muslim women’s rights advocates who discuss gender inequality and violence against women in Muslim-majority societies. “Working together to prevent violence against women is the evolution of community. This is how we model humanitarianism to our children,” said Kendra Thomas, program coordinator for the Warmland Wo m e n’s S u p p o r t Services. “When we value women, only then can we truly value all forms of life on this planet. When we devalue women we lose everything.” According to a press release from the Duncan United Church Social Justice group, Honor Diaries acknowledges “honour”-based violence as “systematic, institutionalized misogyny,” and is the first film to break the silence on the topic of “honour”-based violence against women and girls. There will be a post-screening dialogue about genderbased violence co-facilitated by Thomas. Admission is free or by donation.

BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ACADEMY

COWICHAN CAPITALS

Diamond Pursuit instructors Marty Steen, Darren Kolk, Rick Smith and Dan Whiteford. [SUBMITTED]

Top-notch instructors unite at Diamond Pursuit Academy “All three of us have pretty much lived in the Valley all our lives, and we wanted to give back. This is what we can offer to the kids coming up.”

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Some of the Cowichan Valley’s best and most experienced ballplayers are getting together to pass their substantial knowledge on to a new crop of athletes. Dan Whiteford, Marty Steen and Korrey Gareau are among the instructors behind Diamond Pursuit Academy, which is offering high-level instruction in baseball and softball. “We had kind of talked about it the last little while,” Whiteford said. “There isn’t a lot of extra instruction if people want it for baseball or softball.” Whiteford has watched his niece rise through the ranks in softball, and his son has recently taken up baseball. Until now, he observed, they would have to go to Victoria or beyond for additional instruction. “All three of us have pretty much lived in the Valley all our lives, and we wanted to give back,” Whiteford said. “This is what we can offer to the kids coming up, and coaches.” Whiteford and Steen are longtime friends with plenty of experience in both sports. “We both grew up in the Valley playing ball,” Whiteford said. “We played here until there was no more ball to play, then we crossed over to fastball.” They went on to play senior A fastpitch in Victoria, and both had a cup of coffee with the national men’s team. Whiteford continued to play at the highest levels, with teams in Vancouver, Portland and Wisconsin. Steen took a bit of time off, then played in the U.S. himself.

Gareau’s resumé is similar, and includes a senior men’s world championship. “When he played, he was one of the top two, if not the best, at pitching fastball,” Whiteford said. Other softball instructors include Rick Smith, who grew up in Victoria but has called the Valley home for many years, and has played senior A and for the national team, winning a gold medal at the Pan Am Games in 2003 on his way to induction in the Softball BC Hall of Fame; and Nanaimo’s Blake Hunter, who also has lots of senior A experience and is currently on the national team’s 40-man roster. Although the bulk of the coaches’ experience comes from softball, a lot of the skills transfer over to baseball as well. “For the most part, softball and baseball are not that different,” Whiteford said. “For infielders or outfielders, it’s basically the same. Even hitting is mostly the same. There really isn’t a huge difference between the two.”

Whiteford and Steen handle infield instruction, while Gareau and Smith deal with softball pitching. That’s where the major difference in the two sports comes into play, and that’s why Diamond Pursuit has Darren Kolk in the stable of instructors. “He’s our go-to guy for baseball pitching,” Whiteford said. “That was the one part we had to go get help for.” Kolk grew up in the Cowichan Valley and went on to Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho. He was also a pitcher and outfielder for the junior national team and was named that team’s MVP in 2009. In 2013, he played in the West Coast League all-star game. Diamond Pursuit has already run several clinics for Ladysmith baseball, and also does private and semi-private lessons, as well as running practices for teams. They have attracted plenty of interest within the Valley and beyond, with players coming over from Saltspring Island to train. Visit diamondpursuitacademy.com for more information, or find Diamond Pursuit Academy on Facebook, call Dan Whiteford at 250-709-3906, or email diamondpursuitacademy@gmail.com

After spending the last two seasons with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, Jake Switzer has committed to play for the Concordia University Wisconsin Falcons in the NCAA Div. III NCHA conference starting next fall. Switzer, who aged out of junior hockey with the 2015/16 campaign, played 108 games for the Caps as a forward and defenceman, compiling 12 assists and 133 penalty minutes. The native of Swansea, Illinois served as an alternate captain for the team in his final season. “I’m extremely excited about committing to play at Concordia,” Switzer said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for me to get a high quality education while playing high quality hockey at the same time.” Capitals head coach and general manager Bob Beatty had lots of praise for Switzer. “Jake is the ultimate team player with a tremendous work ethic on and off the ice,” Beatty said. “He provides a definite physical presence and versatility with his ability to play defence or forward. He will block shots, finish checks, and make the team harder to play against.”

Piggies push through to Island final KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Piggies are off to play for the Cowichan Cup in the Island final after a 19-13 win over the Hornets in Nanaimo in the first round of the First Division men’s rugby playoffs last Saturday. “It wasn’t pretty rugby most of the game,” Piggies head coach Gord McGeachy said. “But it was playoff rugby, and a win is a win.” The Piggies made a statement right away, controlling possession and territory early on. “We started off pretty well,” McGeachy said. “We had them under pressure a lot of the first half. In particular, in the first 15 minutes, we had them pinned pretty good.” Right around that time, Cody Milne came in as an injury replacement and scored a try almost immediately, with Jenner Teufel slotting the conversion for a 7-0 lead. About 10 minutes after that, Matt Melgaard took the ball over the line for another try that Teufel converted. Cowichan’s early surge started to wane a bit after that, and Nanaimo scored what McGeachy termed a “soft” try with about 10 minutes left in the half, followed by a penalty goal, and it was 14-8 at halftime. “We took the foot off the gas and let them creep back in,” McGeachy said. Still, the coach was largely satisfied with the effort in the opening 40 minutes. “We controlled most of the first half, and we were playing a lot of good rugby,” he said. “We didn’t get over the line as much as we should have; we left a few points on the field, for sure.” Penalties killed some of the momentum, McGeachy noted, and the Piggies were “fighting the ref” at times.

The Piggies will tangle with Westshore again in the Island final after a heated regular-season finale on April 2, pictured above. [CITIZEN FILE]

“Based on the last couple of weeks, I think this is where we deserve to be. We can think about taking it one more round.” GORD MCGEACHY, Piggies head coach

In contrast to the Piggies dominance early in the first half, play was mostly back-and-forth in the second half. Mike Rea added to Cowichan’s lead with an unconverted try, then with about 15 minutes left to play, the Hornets got their second try, making it 19-13, where the score remained. Not surprisingly for a heated playoff game between longtime rivals, the game got scrappy down the stretch. “Both teams had discipline

issues,” McGeachy said. “I think the frustration with the ref was starting to show through.” Cowichan almost added one more try in the dying minutes, but were stymied by a dropped ball. The players who got on the scoresheet weren’t the only contributors in what was, by and large, a team effort. “Scott McLeod had a really good game in the back row; he made some pretty solid defensive hits,” McGeachy said. “And Dan James was a rock in the scrum; he had his usually good game.” Gregor Grantham also made his return to the starting lineup and played well. “He showed very well after being out for a few games, for sure,” McGeachy added. The Piggies visit Westshore for

a 2:30 p.m. kickoff this Saturday to battle for the Cowichan Cup. Cowichan ended up on the low side of a 20-19 score in the last meeting between the teams, on April 2. “The last time we played them was the best game we’ve played against them in a while,” McGeachy said, adding that the momentum from that match carried into last weekend’s win over Nanaimo and McGeachy hopes it keeps going into the next game. “We proved that if we play well, we can hang with them, and even play better than they can,” he said. “I expect an intense, physical battle. The emotions that were on display last time in a game that didn’t really matter will be even bigger when there is more on the line. Probably the team that keeps its composure and

takes the fewest penalties will prevail.” Based on the talent and depth on his squad, and the way the Piggies have played in the last few weeks, he isn’t surprised to be in the Island final. “We had such a great first half, and then the second half was up and down,” he said. “We’ve probably found some consistency now. Last time we played Westshore, we showed what we’re capable of. Based on the last couple of weeks, I think this is where we deserve to be. We can think about taking it one more round.” If they beat Westshore, the Piggies would be in line to host the provincial semifinal the following weekend. “There’s still a lot of rugby left to play,” McGeachy said. “As long as we keep winning.”
