CHILD STRUCK

BY VEHICLE, AIRLIFTED TO HOSPITAL An air ambulance picked up one patient at Lakewater Holsteins farm on Lakes Road Tuesday afternoon.

The helicopter touched down about 4:15 p.m.

North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday confirmed a child was struck by a vehicle and sustained undetermined injuries but police believe he will recover.

“No alcohol or speed was involved,” she said. “The investigation is still ongoing.”

It’s not clear whether or not the accident occurred at the farm or nearby but the helicopter landed at one of the farm’s open fields.

Four fires now burning in Valley SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Two new fires lit up opposite ends of the Cowichan Valley over the last two days and two different ignition methods were to blame.

Lightning struck a tree at the top end of Meade Creek on Monday.

Fire Information Office Donna MacPherson said it is likely just a single tree on fire.

“It’s in a fairly remote area on a

mountain called Mount Holmes, about three kilometers north of Lake Cowichan,” she confirmed.

An initial attack crew (a ground crew of three) and a helicopter are working hard to extinguish it before it spreads. A stubborn fire at just about 90 square meters, it was still active on Thursday morning.

She said the precipitation in the region has done nothing to prevent or combat any of the area’s fires so crews need to be on top

of any and all existing and new fires, however small. The weather also threatens to bring more lightning, which firefighters will monitor with keen eyes.

“We’re actually expecting that we’ll get more fires coming out of these lightning strikes,” she said.

“We’re thinking more will pop up sort of like popcorn over the next few days as it gets a little bit drier and the fires underground grow a little bit.”

have to deal with was more fires caused by humans.

A cigarette butt from a passerby seems to have been the culprit on Wednesday evening at another incident, this one on Kingburne Drive in Cobble Hill.

“We are helping the fire department out. We’ve got an initial attack crew working with them,” MacPherson said.

“The problem is it’s almost on a vertical cliff, it’s on very steep ground so it’s very hard for fire

That fire measured 1.1 hectares in size as of Thursday morning.

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

70 years later, family travels to crash site It was a reunion more than seven decades in the making.

Some of the key figures behind the loss and rediscovery of Avro Anson L7056, chronicled in Cowichan Valley filmmaker Nick Versteeg’s documentary Seventy-One Years, got together in July when members of the family of one of the victims of the plane crash made a pilgrimage to Vancouver Island.

Avro Anson L7056, a multipurpose aircraft based at the Patricia Bay airfield in Victoria, disappeared during a training flight in 1942 and was thought to be lost for good. It wasn’t until the fall of 2013 that loggers for Teal Jones stumbled across the wreckage near Port Renfrew.

Four men died in the crash, including one Canadian and three British officers.

One of the British airmen was Pilot Officer Charles George Fox. His son, Peter, and granddaughter, Kim, had the opportunity to visit the crash site before a massive reunion the following day with other people who had roles in the discovery and identification of the plane and the documentary that told its story.

Also at the gathering, hosted by Shirley Berg at Captain Morgan’s at Genoa Bay were Dennis Cronin, the logger who first laid eyes on the plane’s wreckage, and his wife, Lorraine; Laurel Clegg, a casualty identification coordinator with the Department of National Defence; and some of the key figures behind the film, including Versteeg, co-producer Robert Stitt and executive producer Allan Scott.

This wasn’t the first visit to Canada, or even Vancouver Island, for Peter and Kim Fox, but it was the first chance they had to visit the site where Charles Fox’s plane crashed. Almost exactly a year to the day before they found the aircraft, they were in Ottawa for Remembrance Day and attended the Canadian military museum.

The UK Ministry of Defence also flew the family — including Peter’s younger brother Chris and their wives, children and

“It’s funny how one event perpetrates another. I learned a lot about mom and dad. He wrote home to mom at least three times a week. I’ve had time to read the letters time and time again, and to get a picture of him as a man and his relationship with mom.”

PETER FOX, son of plane crash victim

grandchildren — over for the interment in Victoria last November.

Peter Fox was surprised by his own reaction to visiting the site where his father’s plane had crashed.

“It wasn’t as emotional as I expected, because I’d had a year to get used to it,” he said. “I was more interested in the scientific aspect: what caused the crash, how it happened, and getting in to see it. Over the last year, we’ve learned a lot more.”

Kim’s response to seeing the wreckage was more in line with what she anticipated.

“For me it was more emotional,” she said.

“I didn’t know my granddad, but I knew what happened. I wanted to be here, and it was amazing to share that with my dad.”

Peter was just three years old when his father signed up for the Royal Air Force, and four when he died. Peter’s younger brother was born while their father was away, and never even saw him.

The Foxes found out in May 2014 that the Charles’s plane had been found, and the revelation changed their lives.

“As a family, we’ve spoken a lot more in the last year than we had in the last 50,” Peter said.

Peter’s mother died 15 years ago, and left a box full of letters she received from Charles while he was in Canada. Peter always figured he would get around to reading them one day, but the discovery

of the wrecked plane pushed him to finally do it.

“It’s funny how one event perpetrates another,” he said. “I learned a lot about mom and dad. He wrote home to mom at least three times a week. I’ve had time to read the letters time and time again, and to get a picture of him as a man and his relationship with mom.”

Before he read the letters, Peter knew a scarce few facts about his father. His mother remarried and rarely talked to her sons about Charles.

“The only things I found out from mom came via my wife,” Peter said.

Kim believes her grandmother was grieving for Charles until she died.

“I think she was angry that he went away,” she said. “Obviously, she was the love of his live, and she never got over him dying. And from the letters, you can see it was the same the other way. He quite desperately wanted to get home.”

Before the war, Charles was a dispatch clerk at the Peek Frean cookie company, and volunteered despite having two

exemptions from service: at 30, he was over the draft age, and he was working in food production. He signed up for the Home Guard first, then enlisted in the Royal Air Force.

“He decided to volunteer because he had to,” said Peter, who shared an interest in technology and mechanics with his father, and spent a couple of years with the RAF as a radar fitter, then worked for 40 years in computing.

Peter carries with him a few personal effects of his father’s that were recovered from the wreckage of Anson L7056: a silver bracelet with Charles’s name on it, a handful of coins, cufflinks, and a cigarette lighter. Peter’s life has turned a corner since the plane was found.

“It’s given him a whole new focus,” Kim said. “Before, it was just one of those things: Dad went missing in the War. He didn’t talk about it much. Now, it’s all he talks about. He’s made wonderful new friends.”

Seal rescued from beach SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

7084020

A scrawny seal sits in a tote in the shade after being plucked off the beach where it had been stranded under the hot sun Aug. 1. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

At first glance it looked like any other rock on the shoreline.

Upon closer inspection, though, it was a baby seal — seemingly extra scrawny and definitely baking in the hot sun, far up the beach during a low tide.

Nicole Malone and Pete Davies were enjoying an afternoon on the beach when they noticed the animal. Cowichan Bay resident Joann Champoux walked by to see Davies tending to the seal.

“I had just noticed that they were pouring water on something and I thought, ‘oh, I bet that’s a seal,’ just because we had come across one and helped with a rescue before,” she said. “I knew a few things to do and a few things to look for.”

The Manhas family, with guests out from Toronto, were out for a stroll when they, too, came upon the distressed seal. Soon, with great teamwork, the small group was working to get the seal into some shade

while arrangements for its rescue could be made. A phone call and emailed photo later, Champoux learned the seal was indeed underweight and in trouble.

Davies was able to pick the seal up and put it in a tote provided by the Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre. From there Champoux and her husband drove the animal to a volunteer in Crofton to await a ferry to the Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre on Salt Spring Island.

“We got halfway to Crofton and he went silent in our car and we went ‘oh no!’ but then when we got him there to the lady he was talking again,” she said. “I feel like he’s kind of got something wrong with his back. He was kind of dragging it funny on the beach.”

The seal, found to be female, was named Queen Mary and received primary care at the Natural Care Centre on Salt Spring Island before being transferred to join 76 other seals at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre on Aug. 4.

3 STARS OF THE MONTH! STEVE AYDON

BRODIE HARRIS

ROB MARTIN

Someone else whose life has changed as a result of the discovery of Anson L7056 is Allan Scott. It started when he read an article about the plane in the paper shortly after his wife died. His own father had been based at Pat Bay as ground crew, working on Ansons. He thought the story had the makings of a documentary and went to Versteeg, who in turn brought in aviation historian Robert Stitt, and the project took off.

“It’s a wonderful Vancouver Island military history story, and I thought the story should have been told,” Scott said. “It was really good for me to be involved in something like that.”

Scott went to the site of the crash with the Fox family members, his fifth visit to the location, and one of the most striking.

“To be up there with the family of one of

the crew members who were killed was a tremendous experience,” he said.

Versteeg had met the Foxes when he travelled to England to film parts of the documentary, something that stayed with him.

“For Robert and me, that was the highlight of making the production, going to England and meeting the families,” Versteeg said.

The film, which was released in late 2014, has been shown on British television, and Versteeg is hoping the CBC picks it up for a future Remembrance Day airing. In April of this year, it won the Platinum Remi Award at the annual WorldFest Film Festival in Houston, Texas as the best historical documentary. And that’s not the only honour it has received. A copy of the DVD is in the collection of Queen Elizabeth II, and a Lady-in-Waiting wrote to Versteeg’s production company that Buckingham Palace loved the production.

Duncan parking aims to leave space for shoppers The parking enforcement program in downtown Duncan is intended to keep spots open for shoppers and diners rather than people working in the core, where parking spots can be few and far between.

“The bylaw doesn’t specify that it’s for employees and merchants, but that’s how we enforce it,” explained City of Duncan chief administrative officer Peter de Verteuil, following the printing of a letter in the Citizen from an upset downtown customer who got a ticket.

“Our main focus is not to ticket customers. The whole parking enforcement program is meant to make sure that space is available for customers. We want people to come downtown, do their shopping and not worry about it,” he said.

The city has had the same parking regulations since 2005.

A new bylaw was adopted last December, but only to clean up the language and formatting.

None of the rules themselves changed.

“We’ve had the same system in place for about 10 years now,” de

“Our main focus is not to ticket customers.”

PETER DE VERTEUIL, chief administrative officer

Verteuil said.

The wording of the bylaw is meant to prevent employees and merchants from “shuffling” their cars around different parts of downtown during the day, which is why parking in the area is limited to three hours per vehicle.

In order to avoid catching customers with that rule, the City issues multiple warnings before issuing tickets. Commissionaires use a licence plate scanner to keep track of how long vehicles stay in the regulated areas.

The first time a vehicle goes over the posted limit or re-parks in the downtown area, a notation is created in the system, but no ticket is issued. The same thing happens for the second violation. The third time a vehicle goes over the limit or re-parks, a notation is created and the commissionaire issues a warning, but not a ticket. Tickets are only issued once someone has accrued four or more violations.

Parkers who receive notices can also call city hall and have their situation reviewed. First offences are often withdrawn when they explain the situation “When people phone and get information, they are generally pretty happy with the response,” de Verteuil said.

De Verteuil noted that when the city retooled its parking regulations in 2005, the fines and the cost of pay spots went up, but more of a discount was placed on monthly passes. However, because the focus shifted to enforcement, parking revenue went down as downtown workers opted to use monthly passes and pay spots.

“T his has made parking enforcement more sustainable, without inadvertently ticketing the customers,” de Verteuil said.

De Verteuil also pointed out that, as much as people dislike getting parking tickets, or even warnings, the level of customer service provided by commissionaire Stu Allen doesn’t go without recognition.

“What other jurisdiction’s parking enforcement officer gets a Black Tie nomination?” de Verteuil asked.

A Duncan taxi driver came to the rescue of a 19-year-old man late last month when he scared off three other men who were beating him with a baseball bat.

The taxi driver then gave the victim a ride home.

The victim had been walking home along Tzoualem Road early on the morning of July 25 when he was approached by another man in a dark hoodie wielding a bat. He was able to get away at first, but the armed man and his two accomplices caught up to him soon afterwards and started beating him.

The suspects, who were all in their mid-20s and wearing dark clothing, ran off when the cab approached.

Another taxi driver, who asked not to be named, said such occurrences are not unusual for cabbies who are on the roads at night.

“It happens, and it happens a lot,” he said.

The driver confirmed that one of his colleagues had been dispatched to Maple Bay and ran across the assault in progress at the roundabout near Queen of Angels School.

“He came along and stopped it

[CITIZEN FILE]

from happening and the three punks took off,” the driver said.

Based on some of the things they encounter on the streets of Duncan at night, cabbies often congregate to “debrief ” after shifts.

“As a cab driver, I’ve seen a lot,” the driver said. “We see a lot of drugs, a lot of addicts, a lot of domestic disputes.”

He added that cab drivers help police as much as they can, whether that means being extra sets of eyes on the community, or giving rides to passengers after a drunk driver is stopped.

“I like doing my part for the community, keeping the community safe,” he said.

Sometimes helping out means giving a safe ride to a payphone or 7-Eleven to someone walking the streets alone at night.

“We don’t want another Tyeshia Jones situation,” the cabbie said.

OUR VIEW

21 days: we expect better protection than that W

hat are they thinking?

It’s proudly acknowledged by the federal Conservative government that oil and gas development is, if not No. 1, tied for the spot among their economic priorities.

But we were still surprised and horrified to read this week that federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq has given the okay to Shell’s offshore drilling plan that allows the oil giant to take 21 days to cap a subsea blowout.

That’s an environmental disaster waiting to happen.

That’s a roll of the dice with

your fingers crossed behind your back that a blowout will not occur, because you know you’re unprepared to deal with the fallout.

And there would be fallout — the potential destruction of a major fishing ground.

How can we possibly take claims by this government that they take environmental protection seriously when they do something like this?

Still standing in the way of Shell’s exploratory drilling is approval from the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board, but let’s face it, that body

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

is not going to say no.

To put this into perspective, the U.S. appears to have learned something, at least, from the devastating Deepwater Horizon disaster, and have required Shell — yes, the same company — to cap any blowout from their drilling off the coast of Alaska within 24 hours.

Twenty-one days versus 24 hours. Big discrepancy.

A company cannot be allowed to take almost a month to stop oil or gas from gushing into our ocean waters.

That’s just absurd.

The excuse is that there is no

capping stack available in the area and it would have to come from Norway.

Clearly, that’s not good enough.

The potential damage could be so extensive after 21 days as to be unrecoverable.

These are situations where every hour, every minute counts.

We expect our federal government to do better for us. We expect them to value our oceans and lands, not just as commodities to be plundered but as our home, to be preserved and protected first and foremost.

Duncan needs new parking bylaw A reply to the letter from Susan Anderson re: City of Duncan’s unfriendly parking bylaw, Friday July 31.

The frustration surrounding parking in Duncan’s downtown core is age old; we have had a business in the core for over 30 years and have put up with a “no-teeth” city hall when it comes to parking.

The big problem: business owners, street level and office level and their staff parking on the street. The bylaw that you, Ms. Anderson, fell victim to was, I surmise, put in place to stop workers from moving their vehicles around every few hours; clearly it doesn’t work.

Our enforcement officers know who the constant perpetrators are, I know who they are — they park outside of my business daily. This is not the first letter of this kind. I remember a letter from a fellow who also got on the wrong side of the bylaw when he came back into town to his favorite coffee shop a few times a day for maybe 10 minuets each time.

BUT, anyone can park for free for three hours; in most cases this is a big bonus for downtown Duncan. People from all over the world, especially from Victoria, love the free parking. Three hours is a good, long time to get your hair done, shop and go for lunch or visit the dentist.

I would like to invite you, Ms. Anderson, to come back to

downtown Duncan and take advantage of the free parking, or perhaps park in one of the $1 a day lots, a mere half block away.

Believe me city hall does not care if you go elsewhere but we do. We have had to put up with parking issues for years and we hate losing our locals, or anyone for that matter, to out-of-touch parking bylaws. The hand held devices the officers carry that record licence plate numbers should be able to separate the once-in-a-while, twice or three times a day shoppers from the every day violators. We need a new bylaw.

Last week there was, in my view, a serious crash on Renfrew Road and Worthington.

The vehicles involved in the crash (from a non-professional) were badly damaged, on one the front end was totally destroyed the other vehicle had been pushed up an embankment.

There was a woman lying on Worthington Road waiting for the ambulance to arrive, I assume. Based on the amount of damage to the vehicles, in my view they were not doing anywhere close to the posted speed limit of 50 on that part of the road. If someone had been in the crosswalk — game over.

This is not an uncommon issue for those of us living on Renfrew Speedway.

I know this was a close call and hopefully will be a wake-up call for the local RCMP to start setting up some speed traps on this road. People roar down this road as if it was a highway. I know the local Speedwatch people do a great job but setting up a Speedwatch at two in the afternoon over by Hutchison Road is fine but not likely to deter anyone.

It is time for the police to do their job and patrol/set up speed traps (hint a great spot is on Renfrew Frontage and Renfrew Road) and slow the traffic down before school starts back.

Governments should take step back Re: Incubating democracy I am reading a book on the public spirit that existed in early America. A quote in it made me think of proposals before our local governments, such as solar panel subsidies and incubator farms.

In studying democracy in America in the early 1800s to learn how he could improve his home country of France, Tocqueville observed: “When a private individual meditates an undertaking, however directly connected it may be with the welfare of society, he never thinks of soliciting the co-operation of the Government, but he publishes his plan, offers to execute it himself, courts the assistance of other individuals, and struggles manfully against all obstacles.

Undoubtedly he is often less successful than the State might have been in his position; but in the end the sum of these private undertakings far exceeds all that the Government could have done”.

If the sum of these private undertakings exceeds

what government could have done, are we undermining the contribution of our citizenry by stepping in with government too readily these days? We certainly lose some benefits that come from citizens having to engage one another.

For instance, I once knocked on many doors in the Valley seeking money for a political initiative.

Thinking I was right, I was surprised both by receiving cold receptions, and at their great number. In asking people why they disagreed with the proposal, I learned that they had good reasons for holding their views, which helped soften my own.

The initiative proved a success, but the real victory was the political education I received, both in learning that you can work together with other citizens to get something done and that not as many people wanted to be a part of it as I had assumed.

What a shame that when governments step in to take on initiatives that could otherwise be supported and funded by citizen efforts, we lose these benefits. What else do we

lose? And what about the initiatives that wouldn’t get enough citizen support door-to-door to justify government funding, yet receive it anyway?

We tend to think that improving our democracy is about grand gestures such as abolishing the Senate or making changes to election laws, and no doubt, these are important, but so is how we engage one another as citizens.

Here’s to being “less successful than the State might have been.”

Trestle and oasis wonderful For the second year visiting Duncan I finally got to ride the Cowichan Trail to view the Kinsol Trestle — amazing.

Maybe more amazing was the surprising oasis set on the side of the trail by some wonderful, thoughtful people. The blueberry jam is to die for.

I am considering going back for another jar.

God bless you.

I salute the vision and the hard work that has gone into producing the amazing summer festival of music-for-everyone by the train station for the past several weeks. Yes, weeks! We are privileged to live in Duncan in this 39-Day month of July. We saw a great mix of favourite local performers, stimulating visitors and new ideas. Especially I liked the bold foray into Hul’qumi’num (with English) story telling, which started slowly but drew in more people each week as it showed its value. Thanks to the Museum for that one, to Longevity John for everything, and to the many local sponsors for their critical support.

LETTERS to the editor Hiroshima Aug. 6 was the 70th anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, Japan where the people now want their city to be known as the City of Peace. I visited ground zero a number of years ago and joined in a peace march to symbolize this city’s plea for everlasting peace.

However at this time, today, the Japanese parliament is being encouraged to rebuild its military force. The Bill to do so has already passed the first stage in what they call Lower Parliament. The global arms industry must be overjoyed with this news. And certainly it will come to pass into law.

You see, the reason given is what is happening (skirmishes) in the South China Sea. But it doesn’t really matter.

Wars will come and go until humankind realizes it’s all about money and sending young men and women off to do the dirty work and die or get maimed in the process. So, why not young Japanese people to throw into the so-called “Allied” pot of war?

And as President Obama offers the hand of peace toward Iran, we hear others in the U.S. calling for the U.S. military to bomb, bomb and bomb some more in Iran. This, after they did just that to Iraq. Few people, I’m sure, realize that the arms movement brings in more money to their corporate masters than any other industry.

My visit to the Peace Memorial Park in the heart of Hiroshima, the first city on earth to have suffered the effects of atomic bombing, began early in the day. Of interest in the park is the Peace Memorial Museum, the Memorial Cenotaph, the children’s peace bell and a children’s memorial stone with the V sign carved at the top and the Flame of Peace.

Inside the museum numerous graphic exhibits conveyed the stark reality the atomic bomb (dropped by the Americans to bring about peace) had on this unsuspecting city. A large area set in

Electric scooter stolen from park and ride in Cobble Hill My son-in-law works in Victoria and catches the bus at 5:25 a.m. from the Country Grocer park and ride in Cobble Hill.

He doesn’t have a drivers licence so he purchased an electric scooter Sunday, July 26. It needed new batteries which he purchased and all was good for two days.

On arrival back at Country Grocer park

the floor displays the city of Hiroshima before the bomb was dropped. Close by is another similar display of Hiroshima after the bomb — complete devastation.

Those who survived remember the bomb as a huge flash of light that signalled something terrible had happened.

From that second on came such horrible devastation upon humankind amidst the annihilation of everything that stood within the radius of the bomb.

Men, women, old and young died instantly. Perhaps they were the lucky ones.

Those who were burned and maimed became very sick from the radiation.

Thousands of suffering people died in the weeks and years that followed.

At the museum, there is a little boy’s tricycle twisted and burned. The trike’s three-year-old owner died instantly and when his father found his remains he buried them along with the trike in his front yard. Forty years passed before his family retrieved his remains and carried them to the family plot where he was reburied with ceremony.

There is a cement step where one can actually see the shadow of the woman who was sitting there waiting for the bank doors to open. In less than a second she was annihilated.

Further along there are waxed models of a mother and daughter standing together in shock with burned skin hanging from their limbs. Later on the day that the bomb was dropped the black rains fell (poisoned by radiation); thirsty survivors drank what they could only to die later. While touring the museum, it seemed I had viewed from the sidelines the worst that has happened to humanity.

Later I found my way to the Peace Plaza where many people committed to peace were gathering. Some were working on signs all saying the same thing in various ways: NO TO WAR! YES TO PEACE! Gloria Cope Chemainus

and ride at 5 p.m. Wednesday he was shocked his scooter of two days using had been stolen.

It had been locked and chain up and alarmed. My question is, how many more people are having articles stolen from park and ride sites? My son-in-law had no insurance.

Raised sprinklers kept the James residence wet while firefighters battled a near-vertical blaze on a cliff across the street in Cobble Hill Wednesday night. [JOHN JAMES PHOTO]

Neighbour angry ‘goof with a cigarette’ likely cause of blaze FOUR FIRES, From Page 1 “I always had in my mind to protect the house with a plan,” James noted. “Sprinklers on poles were set up in quick order with a rotating sprinkler on top of each.

Reached all roofs and 30 feet beyond. We were pretty well covered.”

The family watched from a safe distance as three Forest Service helicopters made drops from above using water from a nearby quarry while members of the Cowichan Bay, Maple Bay, and Shawnigan Lake volunteer fire departments and a BC Forest Service crew tackled things from the ground, pumping water up from the river in the rural location.

“I was impressed by everyone, particularly the cohesion between our three local fire departments and the forestry crew,” James said. “Some goof with a cigarette is the suspected cause. Discarding a smoke in the middle of nowhere in a heat wave.....

WTF!” Meanwhile, as of Thursday morning

the Skutz Falls fire remains 100 per cent contained. Firefighters are in the mop up stage, which means there are still hot spots in the area.

“The crews move through the area and they’re looking for smoke rising from the ground and they’re feeling all the debris, the logs and whatnot, and if they find anything, they’ll break it apart and wet it down.”

Once crews believe they’ve got it all, a heat scan will be done with an infrared camera to confirm and the operation will be designated as under patrol. MacPherson said that could occur before Friday.

The Copper Canyon (Hill 60) fire remains at 7.5 hectares and is now 90 per cent contained. A crew of 16, a water tender and a piece of heavy equipment are still working that scene.

The BC Wildfire Service relies on citizens to alert them to any column of smoke they witness. Calls can be made on mobile phones to *5555 or by calling 1-800-663-5555 on any phone.

Many drug products have moved from “prescription only” to “over the counter”. It wasn’t that long ago you could not buy ibuprofen (for pain and inflammation) or ranitidine (for heartburn) without a prescription. But just because they don’t need a prescription, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get some professional advice before using them. Our pharmacists can supply that information.

Kate Marsh, fundraiser

7084069

The push to build safe, affordable housing for women and children trying to get away from abusive situations is well underway, according to Kate Marsh.

In a statement this week, she said she hoped that Cowichan Valley folks would step up to help Cowichan Women Against Violence (CWAV) raise enough funds to be able to get a mortgage and leverage other in-kind donations for the project.

“Leaving an abusive relationship is fraught with stressors, and sometimes very few people know just how hard it is because women often share children with these former partners,” she said.

Sunfest has already stepped up, allowing CWAV space for a booth at the recently completed country music festival, where volunteers were able to raise funds and spread the word about the campaign.

“We totalled $ 6,245 [from that], which includes a generous donation from the Adams family,” Marsh said.

The housing project would consist of 40 units of housing, above commercial and office space in a purpose-built building in which CWAV offices would be the anchor tenant.

“This would give the women and kids easy access to the programs CWAV offers, as well as safe, secure access homes to live in for up to two years, with others who can relate to what they are going through, while they get their feet on solid ground,” she said.

A gala fundraising dinner and auction will be held at Mellor Hall, Saturday Nov. 7 to help with the campaign, she said.

“The vision I have of this project is that many folks across many political and socioeconomic ranges will feel the call to help in some small way.

That we will rise up as a community and in the spirit of the warmland, get this done.”

How can you help? That’s up to you, according to Marsh.

This panoramic view is of the Allied fleet sent to try to take the Dardanelles. The fleet’s failure led to the attempt to land ground forces.

[BRITISH NAVY PHOTOGRAPHER]

On anniversary, remember Cowichan’s Gallipoli casualties JOHN ORR SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

I

n the April 24 issue of the Cowichan Valley Citizen, the five men of South Cowichan who fell during the Second Battle of Ypres (April/May 1915) were described. Today, we will focus on a campaign and battlefield as far removed from Flanders Fields as is possible within the context of the First World War. At the end of 1914, the situation on the Western Front had entered a stalemate as the opposing armies of the Central Powers and those of the French and British Empires dug in along a line from Switzerland to the English Channel. In an attempt to break out of this impasse, Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, proposed that the French and British navies force the Dardenelles Strait leading from the Aegean (Mediterranean Sea) to the Sea of Marmora, thereby removing Turkey as a belligerent power and opening a maritime passage to Russia.

Ottoman machine-gun teams equipped with MG 08s proved to be formidable foes for the Allies who were trying to take Gallipoli. [GERMAN FEDERAL ARCHIVE PHOTO] When the naval operation failed due to the determined defence of the strait by the Turks, it was decided to double-down and land ground troops on the Gallipoli peninsula to clear

the Turks from the area. As is well known, this operation was also a failure. What may be less well known is that the Gallipoli campaign involved both Canadians (3rd Canadian Stationary

Hospital) and Newfoundlanders (the Newfoundland Regiment) as well as two young men from South Cowichan, Duncan and Robin Hook.

The Hook family emigrated

from England to Vancouver Island in 1910. The family consisted of Allan and his wife Janet along with their four children; three sons — Duncan, Robin and Geoffrey — and one daughter, Hope. They arrived in Victoria on Aug. 6 on board the Empress of India via Yokohama, Japan and established a farm in Cobble Hill. As both Duncan and Robin Hook were qualified civil engineers, they were soon gainfully employed in the construction of the Kettle Valley Line in the interior of British Columbia.

When war was declared on Aug. 4, 1914, Duncan and Robin promptly answered the call of duty and embarked in S.S. Finland in New York City for passage to the UK, arriving in Liverpool on Sept. 24, 1914.

They then enrolled in the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps and were subsequently commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the 9th (Service) Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers.

Inexperience of troops took toll during operation ON ANNIVERSARY, From Page 12 The 9th Battalion was one of the first units of Kitchener’s “New Army” — named after Lord Kitchener, Secretary of War, who had accurately forecast that the First World War would not be over quickly and would require large-scale mobilization of the populace.

The initial Gallipoli landings took place at the southern end of the peninsula in April 1915 and soon became bogged down. In an attempt to turn the flank of the Turkish troops and to support a breakout operation, a landing further up the Aegean coast was planned for August 1915.

The 9th Battalion was part of a landing force that came ashore in Suvla Bay during the night of Aug. 6/7. The landing was botched from the very beginning due to a variety of circumstances, not the least of which was that they were landed in over four and a half feet of water when they had anticipated no more than two feet. (Remember that the average height of a “Tommy” at this time was under five and a half feet.) An additional complication was that this was among the first combat actions undertaken by units of Kitchener’s “New Army” and the inexperience of the staff as well as the junior officers and men soon became evident.

Once ashore, the troops became disoriented in the dark and made slow progress against a smaller Turkish force of well dug-in, experienced soldiers who had been alerted when the landing force arrived offshore. Counting on the element of surprise, the British plan had been to sweep the Turks out of their positions with “cold steel” at the point of a bayonet and the troops were ordered not to load their rifles before dawn. When it became apparent that the

An additional complication was that this was among the first combat actions undertaken by units of Kitchener’s “New Army” and the inexperience of the staff as well as the junior officers and men soon became evident.

JOHN ORR, guest columnist

landing was actively opposed, the troops had great difficulty using their weapons as they had been immersed in salt water and the firing mechanisms had seized up.

Sometime during the early morning of Aug. 7, 1915, Duncan and Robin Hook both died in the assault on Hill 10, a short distance from their initial landing area.

So passed two sons of South Cowichan, a very long way from home. They are interred side by side at the Hill 10 Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Suvla Bay, Gallipoli and are commemorated on the War Memorial, Churt, Surrey (their birthplace) and the South Cowichan and Cowichan Valley cenotaphs.

“W

e’ve got lots of water!” “We live in a rainforest!”

“Why should we have watering restrictions?” Like many people, Ross Forrest, mayor of the Town of Lake Cowichan and member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), admits that he was guilty of these thoughts before becoming more educated and involved with the protection of the Cowichan watershed.

He said that it was through his role as mayor that he first began to gain a new understanding of the watershed and the importance of conservation. Specifically,

Lake Cowichan Mayor Ross Forrest gets a thumbs-up from 2015 water hero Flo. [SUBMITTED] Forrest spoke about water metering in Lake Cowichan.

“Water metering has been a huge benefit to our community,” he noted.

Not only does it allow for monitoring water usage and finding wasteful leaks, but it’s also, according to Forrest, a pivotal factor in receiving

environmental grants. Prior to the water metering, he said the town was unable to receive many of the grants they applied for, but after the metering, they “had much success with [their] applications.”

In addition to his duties as mayor and his job in the

arena/parks depar tment under CUPE, which is a union he described as dedicated to uniting people on the matter of valuing our water, Forrest also sits on the Cowichan Watershed Board, which he said has taught him an unbelievable amount about “our most valuable resource.”

Discovering this information, he said, changed how he views our watershed and how we need to manage it.

“I no longer think there is enough fresh water to do as I please.”

Forrest wishes that more people would think that way, although he does believe there has been a positive “change in culture” surrounding water conservation, specifically in Lake Cowichan.

What we can do to further this change in our communities, in our homes, and in our own minds, according to Forrest, is to just “try to improve a little each day,” and learn to recognize when and where we are being wasteful. Afterall, water is not just a liquid that comes out of the tap at the snap of our fingers, it is the most valuable resource on Earth, and deserves to be regarded as such.

Survey shows mussels hit by dry summer LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The drought is taking a toll on the region’s freshwater mussels.

Aquatic biologist Andre Martel, who works with the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, has been in the Cowichan Valley recently, surveying the Cowichan River.

He’s one of Canada’s experts on the diversity of mussels, and he delivered the news after his recent stop.

The mussels are an important part of aquatic ecosystems, filtering water, providing food sources, and are general indicators of healthy fish populations, such as salmon.

“We did a number of surveys of the Cowichan River starting from the bridge right downtown at Lake Cowichan. We went under water and took a number of videos in HD, lots of good images.

“We spent about a week up there and we will continue this

in coming months and years because we need to know more about the sites. I’m doing the same thing from Bamfield in the Sarita River and a number of coastal lakes.

“And of course we’re documenting the water level as being really low. That drought has definitely killed many, many, many mussels,” he said.

But, that being said, Martel enjoyed his visit to the Cowichan area.

“I came there with the intention of working with an assistant and a former DFO staffer I know in Nanaimo but then when people got to know we were coming it was nice to see all the interest from others.”

At the end of it, along with his assistant, he had worked with Greg Wilson, a biologist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment, involved in species at risk; Rick Harbo, former DFO scientist and shellfish specialist and well-

known writer of field guides, from Nanaimo; Lea Gelling, from the Canadian Data Centre, Victoria; Wayne Page, Cowichan First Nation’s representative and fisheries biologist specializing in salmonids and habitats and others.

“We all learned about the Cowichan and the quite amazing amount of freshwater mussels found in it.”

Did you know?

Freshwater mussels can live anywhere from three to 100 years, depending on the variety.

Sale on April 8 - 23

While the brownish-shelled mussel called the Western Floater is not as common, it can be found in the Cowichan River. However, the Western Pearlshell mussel, with its nearly black shell, is abundant. [SUBMITTED]

Local interest in survey team high SURVEY, From Page 18 There are 55 different species of those mussels in Canada, and Martel found two species during his Cowichan visit, reporting that one was “very abundant”.

He also saw lots of crayfish while checking the waters near Lake Cowichan, where their work attracted the attention of the locals.

“Even the RCMP showed up within an hour of us beginning our survey, asking what we were doing because local people had been concerned. It’s great to see people want to take care of the river,” he said.

The two mussel species they collected along the section of the Cowichan River surveyed were the Western Pearlshell, which has a darker nearly-black shell and the Western Floater,

which has a shell with lighter brown color.

“The dominant species of the river is the Western Pearlshell, which is linked to juvenile salmonids. In contrast, the West Floater dominates in Cowichan Lake and for that one reproduction and dispersal are believed to be linked to the sculpins and sticklebacks, fish that are present in the lake,” Martel said.

Heat surprise with bantam A title KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The smallest association in the provincial baseball championships this year surprised everyone by winning the B.C. bantam A title last weekend.

The Chemainus Heat brought home the championship from the tournament in Comox, beating out teams from some of the province’s biggest communities to claim glory.

“Talking to some of the parents from Vancouver, they were asking, ‘Why is this team so good from this little town of Chemainus?’” manager Phil Simpson recalled.

The Heat went 3-1 in the round robin. They opened the tournament last Friday with a 9-0 win over White Rock behind a combined no-hitter from pitchers Jamie Roberts and Kolton Hogstead.

Although they lost their second game 6-4 to host Comox Valley on Saturday morning, the Heat bounced back to down Abbotsford 11-8 that afternoon in one of their tougher games, then beat Newton 8-6 on Sunday afternoon to lock up a semifinal berth.

Middle row from left: Jack Miller, Adam Brownlow, Isaac Leik, Jacob Stevens, Brandon Hannibal. Front row from left: Shane Whitefield, batboy Dawson Bell, Hunter Livingston. [SUBMITTED] O n M o n d ay m o r n i n g, i t was David against Goliath as Chemainus faced Vancouver Community in the semifinals,

but the Heat didn’t back down, mercying Vancouver 15-5 in five innings.

“It was the big city of Van-

couver versus the little town of Chemainus,” Simpson said. “We were expecting more.”

The Heat went up 5-0 in the top of the first on home runs by Hunter Livingston and Adam Brownlow, and never looked back.

“We set the tone and went on a roll,” Simpson said. “They were deflated and they weren’t able to come back.”

The final against Port Coquitlam was similarly lopsided. Roberts pitched a complete game with a line that any major leaguer would have been proud of: seven innings, five hits and 11 strikeouts, as Chemainus prevailed 13-1.

Not bad for a team that didn’t even have enough hopefuls to hold tryouts.

“This was basically our house ball team,” Simpson said. “We took 10 of the kids from our house team and added two kids from Nanaimo.”

Most of the players have been together for several seasons, and they peaked at the right time.

Simpson credited the victory to a complete one-through-12 effort.

“We’ve had the same kids play-

ing together year after year, and they all came together,” he said.

As far as anyone connected to the team could recall, it was the first provincial title for a Chemainus baseball team since 1987.

“There have obviously been kids from Chemainus who played in Duncan or played in Ladysmith and won, but this is the first time one of our own teams has won in well over 20 years,” Simpson said.

The Heat earned their way into the provincial tournament by winning the zone championships a week earlier, a feat they capped off with a 5-4 win over Victoria in 11 innings.

Head coach Mike Rochon and assistants Neil Stevens and Pete Brownlow guided the Heat on the field, but Simpson credited local legend Larry Hopwo with making much of the championship possible just by making sure there was baseball in Chemainus.

“He’s been the president for something like 42 years, and he almost singlehandedly kept baseball alive,” Simpson said.

“He was a huge part of that win.

We wouldn’t have been playing without him.”

RiverCats tops at mosquito AAA tournament KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Bryn Battye had coached Duncan teams to back-to-back mosquito AAA Tier II provincial champions in the two previous seasons, but even though his RiverCats had blasted their opponents to smithereens in the zones a week before, he was still nervous as he prepared for the B.C. tournament in Victoria last weekend.

“Once you’re at provincials, anything can happen,” he said.

It turned out that Battye had nothing to worry about, as the RiverCats claimed yet another mosquito AAA title for Duncan.

The RiverCats went 3-1 in the round robin, beginning by beating Cloverdale 13-6 last Friday morning, then edging North Delta 3-2 in a true pitchers’ duel that afternoon. On Saturday morning, they defeated Abbotsford 13-5, and that afternoon they suffered their first loss, 8-5 at the hands of a Campbell River team they beat at the zone tournament, but knew could be dangerous.

It didn’t help that the RiverCats weren’t hitting to the best of their abilities in the early games.

“Our bats were a little bit off in the round robin,” Battye admitted.

Even though the round robin went largely as they expected it

Middle row from left: Brayden Ganter, Dylan Gage, Rahil Khan, Dylan Battye, Tyson Walker, Brendon Wilson, Curtis Atcheson, Anthony Wilson. Front row from left: Adam Chalmers, Ethan Maxwell, Jacob Cyr. [SUBMITTED]

to go, the RiverCats were on pins and needles once they were done playing. If they wanted to go on to the semifinals, they needed Campbell River to beat North Delta, or if North Delta were to win, for a certain number of runs to be scored.

Rather than watch, Battye

went home to Duncan and let his assistant coaches fill him in by text message.

When Campbell River went ahead 10-1 early on, Battye was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if North Delta came back to win, the amount of runs favoured Duncan. Campbell River held on

for the victory and advanced with a 4-0 record, while the RiverCats were second in the pool at 3-1, leaving North Delta out of the picture at 2-2.

“Those were the top three teams in the province, in my estimation,” said Battye, who had seen North Delta at the last two provincial finals. Unfortunately, with Victoria hosting, the pools were thrown into disarray and one of those top teams had to miss the playoff round.

“Somebody was going home,” Battye said. “I kind of knew we were going to have to go 4-0 to make the semifinals.”

By placing second in their division, the RiverCats advanced to a Sunday morning semifinal against Victoria, a team Duncan had defeated 14-0 at the zone tournament. Victoria wasn’t going to go quietly this time, and the score was tied at 1-1 going into the fifth inning.

In the fifth, Brendan Wilson got on base, and Dylan Battye was sent to the plate to bunt him to second. Battye got the bunt down, but thanks to a fielding mixup by Victoria, Wilson made it to third and Battye was safe at second with none out. That, said the coach, was the “TSN Turning Point.”

Brandon LeBlanc brought them both home with a double to the

fence. Two runs after that, they reached the maximum for the inning. Wilson finished up the complete game, and the game ended 6-1 in favour of the RiverCats, who advanced to the final.

“Any time a kid can pitch a complete game at this level, that signifies a good game,” Battye said.

The RiverCats almost got another complete game in the final, a 13-10 win over Tsawassen.

Curtis Atcheson came in with a foot injury, and as a result batted lower in the order than Battye would have preferred, but still managed to get the first 20 outs from the mound. Anthony Wilson came in for the 21st and needed just one pitch to induce a grounder to first for the final out and the championship.

The grounder to first was something the coaches had prepared the players for by relating the story of Bill Buckner, Mookie Wilson and Game Six of the 1986 World Series.

“We told them to get in front of the ball,” Battye said. “Don’t let that be your legacy. Dive for the ball.”

Going into the provincial tournament, Battye had raved about his team’s hitting and pitching, but it was defence that won the championship.

“I don’t think any team had a better defence than us,” he said.

Duncan and Chemainus players help Ladysmith 49ers to peewee A title KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Ladysmith 49ers’ victory in the semifinal of last week’s provincial peewee A baseball championship in Surrey wasn’t in question, but pitcher Mason Lonsberry’s no-hitter bid wasn’t quite wrapped up.

The 49ers were up 9-0 in the seventh inning against Kamloops and centrefielder Caleb Battye — one of two Duncan boys on the team — was going to do everything in his power to make sure no one got on base against Lonsberry. With one out on the board already, Battye made a running catch in deep centre for the second out. The next batter managed to send a fly ball to shallow right centre, and Battye ran as hard as he could, diving and stretching out to catch the third out, ending the game.

“I’d seen that on TV, but never at this level,” Battye’s mom, Jaime, said a couple of days later, still in awe.

When the opposing coach awarded game MVP honours to Lonsberry, he didn’t hesitate before handing the award over to Caleb.

“The crowd was teary and in shock that a 12-year-old would do such a thing,” Jaime said. “I can’t think of a word to describe the mood. It was crazy.”

Battye and fellow Duncan ballplayer Cullen Plester joined the 49ers this summer when Duncan didn’t field a peewee A summer team. Dru Wright of Chemainus also helped round out the roster. The dedication paid off for that trio when they won the B.C. championship, capping it all off with a 5-3 victory over Burnaby Minor last Monday.

“That was a hard game,” Caleb admitted.

Ladysmith and Burnaby were tied

Burnaby scored once before starting pitcher James Joyce had to come out due to his pitch count, and a reliever had to get the last two outs. He struck out one batter, walked the next, then struck out the last one to lock up the championship.

Plester, playing second base in the final, admitted he had butterflies in his stomach when the last batter got to two strikes.

The 49ers had previously breezed through the round robin, beating the Newton Jays 9-2 and Burnaby Minor

11-3 on Friday, PoCo 12-9 on Saturday, and Surrey 13-3 on Sunday. Battye was the starting pitcher in the fourth game, going four innings in the win. In that same game, Plester — a wall at second throughout the tournament — made one of his biggest defensive plays, sliding to block a ball in the dirt.

In addition to the championship and his game MVP trophy from Lonsberry, Battye also won a medal in the skills competition, playing the third base spot in the around-the-horn event where four players picked by their coaches throw the ball from catcher to first to second to third and back to catcher.

For a team that didn’t win any games at their provincial baseball tournament, the mosquito AA Duncan RiverCats came remarkably close to winning the B.C. title.

The RiverCats lost three games in Surrey and tied one, but two of those defeats were by a single run. The story would have been vastly different had those results been a little different.

“They were very close games,” head coach Clint Steigenberger said. “Twice, we battled from behind and caught up, but we ran out of time or we couldn’t pull the trigger. They could have gone either way. If we had won two onerun games, we would have been in the finals.”

The RiverCats showed their determination in the tournament opener against Burnaby Minor last Friday morning. After Burnaby went ahead 4-0 early on, the players started chirping the RiverCats from the bench, but the Duncan boys quieted them down once they got their bats going. A close play at the plate and a runner stranded on third ended up making all the difference in that one.

“It came down to literally the last bats,” Steigenberger said.

The RiverCats suffered their only blowout loss that afternoon, falling to Newton 13-0. They came back on Saturday to lose 6-5 to Tsawwassen, then ended the tournament with a 7-7 tie against South Okanagan.

It didn’t help the RiverCats that they didn’t have to play in a tournament ahead of provincials. When none of the other mosquito AA teams on Vancouver Island decided to contest the zone title, the RiverCats advanced to provincials by default.

“If we had zones, we would have been through that pressure already,” Steigenberger said.

At the tournament, the RiverCats benefitted from some great pitching and some outstanding defence from the outfielders and middle infielders. The entire season was an impressive one for the young players, some of whom hadn’t played organized baseball before.

“It was a lot of fun, a really good experience,” Steigenberger said. “It was a good eye-opener for a lot of the kids. Their coaches next year are going to see a huge difference in their play.”

Valley stars shine as B.C. dominates Canadian rugby KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan Thunder win provincial intermediate lacrosse championship KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After an easy win in the Vancouver Island league, the Cowichan Valley Thunder weren’t sure what kind of competition they were going to face at the provincial intermediate B lacrosse championships in Langley last weekend.

The Thunder proved perfectly suited to their Lower Mainland

opponents as they won the provincial title, beating Coquitlam 9-5 in the tournament final.

Cowichan had an easy run in their first two games, beating Ridge Meadows 11-5 and Delta 15-4.

With a berth in the championship game against Coquitlam already locked up, head coach Lorne Winship decided not to show everything his team could

MONTHS* on select models

do in the round-robin finale, and Coquitlam won that game 10-5. The Thunder turned things around to win the gold-medal game the next day.

Also in Langley last weekend, Cowichan Valley lacrosse products Taylor Martin, Braylon Lumb, Brian Robb and Pollo Claxton helped the Victoria Shamrocks win gold in the intermediate A division.

Rugby players from the Cowichan Valley helped B.C. show its dominance of rugby on the national scene last weekend.

B.C. teams won all four Western Canadian championships contested in Kelowna against all-star teams from the prairie provinces last weekend: the U16 men, U18 men and women, and senior women, with Cowichan players on two of the provincial teams.

Coached by Brentwood College’s Marius Felix and Steve Cowie, the B.C.’s U18 women’s side included Brentwood players Avi Sharabi, Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Delaney Martin and McKenna Haz, and Emily Lindsay, Hannah Morten and Mariah Fontana from Cowichan Secondary.

According to Felix, Morten and Sharabi were among B.C.’s top players in the tournament.

“Hanna was really, really good in the second game,” Felix said.

“She scored a try and played great defence. Avi came in as a second-half sub at scrum-half and made a big difference.

The U16 men’s team included Shawnigan Lake School students Jim Newman and Jonny Hodgkins, as well as Brentwood College’s Harrison Hooke.

Also last weekend, the B.C. U15 and U17 men and U16 women faced Ontario teams in Ottawa, with the U17 men and U16 women sweeping their twogames series, while the U15 men split. Cowichan Secondary’s Peyton Eagar and Kyle Joe were joined on the U17 men’s team

by Kyle Mattison of Frances Kelsey, Nicholas Mouret and Seth Purdey of Shawnigan and Taylor de Souza of Ladysmith, while Brentwood’s Denise Roy played with the U16 women.

Love from all your family.

Arnold T. Hepton Born in Regina, Sask. on Nov. 30, 1921, Arnold T. Hepton (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hepâ&#x20AC;?) passed away on Friday, July 24, 2015 at Cowichan District Hospital with his wife Jill by his side.

Hep is predeceased by his first wife Phyllis (Conn) and his son William. He is survived by his daughter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deideâ&#x20AC;? (Bill); his grandson â&#x20AC;&#x153;JBâ&#x20AC;? (Jennie); Jill's sons Michael (Ellen & Sebastian) and Christopher (Michelle & Ryder), and sister Joyce (Vince) and family. Hep will be very much missed.

Educated in Langenburg, Sask. and later at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, Winnipeg, Man., Hep joined the RCN as a signalman on the Noranda for convoy duty on the North Atlantic run.

When the need for fighter pilots became dire, Hep took his flying training at RCAF Goderich and RCAF Aylmer, Ont. He was loaned to the British Navy as part of its Fleet Air Arm. With Squadron 896, he was aboard HMS Phoenix (Bitter Lakes, Egypt), HMS Assagai (Durban, S.A.), HMS Malagas (Cape Town for rocket training), HMS Empress (Hellcat Squadron 896), HMS Emperor, HMS Ameer, HMS Tambaram and the HMS Kaluga (Cochin). Hep flew the following service aircraft during the war: Tiger Moth, Harvard, Miles Master, Wildcat IV & V, and the Hellcat I & II. At the end of WWII, Hep and his wife Phyllis moved to Vancouver in 1947 where they raised their 2 children while Hep worked in the printing and graphics business.

He married Jill in 1986, retired in 1992, and moved to Duncan, Vancouver Island in 1993. Hep was very involved in the Vancouver Rotary Club as well as the Rotary Club of Duncan, and the Royal Naval Association. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;wakeâ&#x20AC;? will be announced at a later date. Thanks to the wonderful care and compassion given by all the nurses and staff at CDHsecond floor. The family request no cards or flowers. Please use that money to donate to your favourite charity, the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation or the BCSPCA.
