‘Crucial’ road work finished KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Rising above the fog at the Malahat Summit rest area, Island MLAs Don McRae and Michelle Stilwell officially declared the completion of the latest set of upg rades to the Malahat Highway.

T he project, which was announced by McRae and Stilwell

last May, comes in on budget and two months ahead of schedule.

“This project completes the $33 million investment made by this government to improve the safety and reliability of the Malahat for all the commuters, families, visitors and truckers who drive it,” said McRae, who represents the Comox Valley riding.

Stilwell, who represents Parks-

ville-Qualicum, noted that the project will improve the drive for the 22,000 motorists, including families, tourists, commuters and commercial drivers who use the highway on a daily basis.

“This safety upgrade to the Malahat portion of Highway 1 has improved the beautiful mountain drive between Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island,

making it a safer connection for everyone living in, working in, or visiting our region,” she said.

Costing $15 million, the latest upgrades involved widening 2.3 kilometres of highway from Shawnigan Lake Road to the summit to make room for new median barriers.

A Ladysmith man has been charged with manslaughter following the death of a woman in a mobile home park south of the town earlier this week.

Trevor George Meers, 50, is facing one count of manslaughter in connection with the death of a 55-year-old Ladysmith woman following an altercation at the Campers Corner RV Park on Tuesday night. Meers will remain in custody until his next court appearance on Feb. 10.

Just before midnight on Tuesday, police received a call reporting a fight between people at a residence located in the RV park at 10935 Trans-Canada Highway.

The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit and the Ladysmith RCMP are working together to investigate the death.

“Investigators are in the very early stages of this investigation,” Vancouver Island RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Darren Lagan said on Wednesday. “There is no evidence to suggest there is any risk to the public.”

When police and paramedics responded, they located the victim, who died at the scene. Meers was taken into custody at the scene.

Anyone with information about the incident should contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Cowichan Valley Citizen | Friday, February 6, 2015

Council ponders tax cap Coun. Al Siebring opened a can of worms at North Cowichan municipal council Feb. 4 by asking that they put a firm limit on residential (Class 1) property tax increases for each of the next four years.

He said he did not want those increases to exceed the rate of inflation for the Cowichan Region as determined by Statistics Canada in the previous calendar year.

But that’s not all he called for.

Siebring also wanted council to engage in “a comprehensive priority-setting exercise to determine, on a sliding scale, which services and expenditures are deemed essential and which might reasonably be subject to budget cuts or elimination.”

But he didn’t convince his council colleagues to jump on his bandwagon, at least not right away.

They want more time to think.

Siebring said he was concerned about helping what he called “the least fortunate”: senior homeowners on fixed incomes who are really hard hit by increased property taxes.

The option of urging seniors to defer their taxes is not one Siebring likes.

“There’s something morally wrong about telling people to go into debt,” he said, adding that it also “steals the inheritance” from their families while combining the inevitable death and taxes in one.

Limiting increases to predictable amounts would at least allow these homeowners to budget for their taxes and to that end, he said, it’s important to find efficiencies in municipal operations and keep costs down.

“We need to do away with the idea that there are sacred cows in

“There’s something morally wrong about telling people to go into debt.”

the budget process,” he said.

Coun. Tom Walker said that, while he liked some of Siebring’s ideas, “this comes to us pretty late in the budget deliberations for this year. Most of the stuff that’s being done in 2015 was decided by the last council.”

Coun. Kate Marsh said she had a different view.

“Any pensioner who owns a house is not among the least fortunate. What about people who can’t afford to get into the market?” she asked.

Marsh also said she was concerned that if cuts were too deep, council might be hamstrung.

“How can we invest in the things we want to do?” she asked. “How can you go to a zero per cent increase when Hydro is going up?

I’m sorry I can’t support this. I don’t think it’s the time or the way to do it.”

Eventually, council decided to postpone discussion of possibly limiting residential tax increases until after this year’s budget is finalized later this spring.

They will also hold a special priority setting meeting.

Even when it came to looking at which areas to cut, Devana urged councillors to look to next year.

“Otherwise you’re going to send a ripple effect through this organization for a one month exercise,” he said, adding that in previous similar exercises, councils found it difficult to cut programs.

Coun. Joyce Behnsen then jumped in.

“Does that mean we approve the 3.34 per cent?” she asked, refer-

ring to the proposed residential tax increase that they had looked at in initial budget deliberations.

“No. I’m uncomfortable with 3.34 per cent,” Devana said. “But I’m trying to do this without hurrying us. At least let this play out for 2015, then give us months to prepare.”

Siebring said he thought there were areas where cuts could be made, saying he’d heard the word “Cadillac” used to refer to North Cowichan’s roads budget.

“Do we want to cut back a little?” he asked.

He also said that since crime in the municipality appeared to be on the decrease, “might we as council say, ‘Do we need 31 officers?’

Maybe we only need 30.”

Marsh said, “Most of us ran on a platform to communicate. I’d like to go to the community and ask them what they want, what they’re willing not to have.”

Mayor Jon Lefebure said that he too was interested in the efficiency exercise.

“But everything we look at is a priority setting exercise. We will come across things that support the least fortunate.”

He gave the example of the Cowichan Aquatic Centre pool, which has proven extremely popular with the municipality’s First Nations people, many of whom are living off reserve on social assistance.

“I think we’ll find that we have already chosen to support our priorities,” he said.

Board looks at online streaming of meetings LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Cowichan Valley school board meetings could be coming soon to a computer screen near you.

The board of education decided at its Tuesday, Feb. 3 meeting to spend about $1,000 for equipment to record the sessions and have a district staff member look after that job and the task of putting the result online.

District technology principal Glen Posey said he had, at the instigation of the board, looked into how it could be done.

A private contractor could do the job for $500 per meeting, with a reduction for the first six months bringing that cost to about $2,500 for the rest of this year, he said.

The second option was to spend $1,000 for an iPad with sufficient memory and a multi-directional microphone, set them up and train a district worker in their use.

The third was to bring in a member of the community, at no cost but no guaranteee of quality, to record the sessions.

Move afoot to divest district of three old school properties The school district has taken the first steps towards disposing of three school

Trustee Elizabeth Croft Trustee Elizabeth Croft, who had asked that the district look into presenting its meetings online, asked if the $1,000 would be enough and Posey said he thought it would, although it would mean one solidly mounted iPad with one point of vantage.

Trustees decided to move ahead with Option 2. Watch the school district website to see when they are able to get the meetings online.

sites. The province has been notified that Charles Hoey, Yount and Mill Bay are of no further use to the district.

Once the move passes this step, the board will able to decide what to do.

OUR VIEW

Safety work won’t matter if drivers irresponsible nlike in Saint John, N.B. where the city declared a state of emergency this week after 126 centimetres of snow has accumulated following three big storms, we in the Cowichan Valley haven’t had to think much about winter driving this year.

Or, at least, not driving in the snow and sleet — there’s been plenty of heavy rain.

But even rainy conditions can be hazardous on the notorious Malahat Drive between the Valley and Victoria.

If you’ve ever ventured forth over the mountain pass after

U

sunset with raindrops sluicing off the windshield and fog making visibility near-zero, you know full well that it doesn’t take a snowstorm to make the journey a white-knuckle affair.

Keeping reflectors and reflective paint that can become your only landmarks in a sea of nothingness in good repair is just as vital in this non-winter we’re having as it is when the thermometer really drops.

The province has not always done an adequate job of it.

But it was encouraging to hear this week that added safety features to the highway have now

been completed, and we sincerely hope it will mean fewer fatal and serious crashes to populate our newspaper pages and devastate families.

But while the province has done something about trying to keep us safer on the road, we need to take some responsibility for our own safety, too.

Staff here at the Citizen have seen some pretty risky moves on the roadways of late.

It’s just a bad idea, when driving a white car in pea soup fog to fail to use your lights.

The same goes for all car colours, really, but especially beige,

and grey hues.

The speed with which you disappear from vision in such conditions would shock the nonlight-user, we’re certain.

Also a bad idea is pulling out to pass in heavy fog. Even when you’re in a zone where passing is normally permitted under good conditions, doing it in the fog when you can’t see very far ahead is a gamble with your own life and the lives of other motorists.

The province can do all the improvements it can think of on the Malahat, but if drivers don’t smarten up, it won’t matter.

We, as homeowners, love Rock of the Woods (In response to Louise Bergman’s letter in the Friday, Jan. 30 Citizen).

Rather than generalize, I would like to lend a different perspective to that of Louise Bergman’s.

If I’m no longer considered a youth today, I certainly was six years ago, when in our 20s, my husband and I purchased our home and property in Glenora.

We are the youths that attend Rock of the Woods each year with our local group of friends who are homeowners, entrepreneurs and parents to young babes. We know about responsibility and homeownership. Twice, we have welcomed

Rock of the Woods to our own backyards here in Glenora. We wouldn’t hesitate to again.

At its site on the Cowichan River, security is a priority to Rock of the Woods directors.

Our own property backs up to the river and we worry about fire danger during our dry summers.

The Cowichan River corridor is an open and unmonitored summer zone — welcoming hundreds of partiers of all ages.

For one weekend of the summer, Rock of the Woods provides police and fire protection in the Sunrise neighbourhood of that river corridor! I would welcome that — it’s more than is offered the remaining weekends of the summer.

Area E recently elected a

new director. My husband and I attended two all-candidates meetings. The common concern in regard to youths of the area, was that we are “being lost to the oil fields”. In our current times, it’s financially crippling for youths and young families to own a home and be economically stable here in Area E. Rock of the Woods is an economic stimulator for Area E and is a festival that promotes and supports local musicians, local vendors, local carpenters, local sound techs, local catering businesses and many more. As a young entrepreneur, I feel this is an advance in the right direction for a self-sustaining economy.

Re: Pastula property prompts review, Jan. 28.

I certainly agree something needs to be done about bylaw enforcement because dealing with North Cowichan on this issue is an exercise in futility.

Bylaw 2590 is explicit enough in terms of standards, as far as unsightly properties go. I thought the process might be: notify the property owner to clean up; fine them for non-compliance; clean up the property at public expense and add the bill to the fine; take them to court.

Councillor [Joyce] Behnsen’s thinking seems to be that because there are so many dumps around the municipality, it would constitute unfair and unequal treatment to single any particular one out for action.

What then is the standard for property maintenance and how is that fair to those of us who try to maintain ours?

Councillor Siebring, while agreeing with his colleague, counsels proceeding with caution, while not stating what great danger may result from action. The Pastula problem appears to involve both zoning regulations and maintenance bylaws. By all means, don’t mix apples and oranges. He goes on to say there are worse cases than Pastula in the municipality.

What encouraging news.

New York City was cleaned up through the “broken window” police philosophy. Clean up the little items and maybe you can head off some far bigger ones. It takes political will. And oh yes, for purposes of confession, my neighbours and I have a dog in the fight.

Many travel to Victoria or Nanaimo for work and don’t get reimbursed like CVRD directors do. The CAA shows the cost of the average car (fuel, tires and maintenance) at less than 20 cents per kilometre.

Thus, the CVRD directors actually make money on the travel from home to work deal, and it is probably tax free just like one-third of their remuneration is.

increase to 18.5 per cent for heavy industry would save that same homeowner only $60 a year.

“Catalyst told us their cash flow is negative. The last thing they would need is a tax shift. $400,000 is major to them,” he said.

The CAO then pointed out that in recent weeks Target, faced with a negative cash flow in Canada, decided to pull out of the country altogether.

“We just saw it. They just leave,” he said.

Siebring said that Catalyst was recently paying 20 per cent of “the total tax take in North Cowichan” but when the company went into creditor protection, that was shifted to 15 per cent.

However, the company is out of that protection and homeowners are coming to him, saying, “Catalyst survived. When do we get our rebate cheque?”

In addition, he told Mayor Jon Lefebure, “I still maintain that tax shift was an overreaction. You said it would attract more heavy industry, but it’s been three years.

I want to see us shift some of the burden back to the heavy industry class.”

Devana pointed out that since the heavy industrial operations in North Cowichan were depreciating in value, to force them to pay a higher proportion of the municipality’s taxes while increasing their tax rate was a double hit to hard-pressed companies.

“I don’t think we should fiddle with something that’s fair,” Coun. Kate Marsh agreed.

“I’d rather keep those jobs and spin-off jobs in the Valley.”

Coun. Tom Walker said that he was not convinced that shifting those taxes between now and April or May was a good idea.

Finally, Devana and his team were asked to present figures during budget discussions to show what such a difference might mean.

Increasing heavy industry’s tax bill might be a way to help homeowners.

That’s Coun. Al Siebring’s take on dealing with the upcoming North Cowichan budget.

The veteran councillor took aim Feb. 4 at the municipality’s heavy operators, asking that, in preparation of the 2015 budget, North Cowichan’s staff be directed to reconfigure the heavy industry component so that this class is paying between 17.5 and 18.5 per cent of the total taxes levied.

Even the suggestion printed on the agenda got a response.

Catalyst had such concern about this last suggestion that Crofton general manager Rob Belanger mentioned it in his annual update to council Jan. 21.

And when it came to debating the ideas at council Wednesday, North Cowichan CAO Dave Devana surprised everyone by making a statement about Siebring’s ideas before councillors even started to talk.

Catalyst pays a percentage of the municipality’s entire tax bill and he passionately argued against increasing it.

A raise from the current 15.5 per cent to 17.5 per cent would mean Catalyst pays another $482,000 while an increase to 18.5 per cent would mean the pulp and paper operation shelling out another $729,000, Devana explained.

“That’s going to have a significant impact on the company,” he said. “This was one of my most stressful days, thinking that you might make a decision about this without advice. Yes, our historical rates were higher but that doesn’t make it right.”

He also said that the municipality has in the past few years been able to develop a good working relationship with Catalyst, one that is benefitting the municipality, and one that didn’t exist before the reduction in the company’s tax burden.

However, councillors were not easy to convince.

Coun. Rob Douglas joined Siebring in arguing that a company that had enough money to be able, as Catalyst has been, to buy two mills in the United States, didn’t need help from North Cowichan.

“If we just nudge them back up, is that such a jump?” Douglas asked.

Devana again held firm.

He explained that an increase to 17.5 per cent would save the average North Cowichan homeowner $40 a year while an

Nix urges CVRD to take jump into solar ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Peter Nix brought his pitch for the development of solar power to the Cowichan Valley Regional District last week.

“Solar costs are plummeting,” Nix told the Regional Services Committee, which is made up of the district’s board members. “It’s a very exciting time.”

He started by telling the directors his personal story. Nix worked as an oilsands consultant, until, he said, he woke up.

“I’m par t of the problem, enabling something that’s destroying my kids’ future,” he remembers thinking.

Since then he’s become an unapologetic leader of the “carbon buster” movement in the Cowichan Valley.

His focus on solar energy started last spring when he attended a workshop on Saltspring Island where he discovered that you can now make money by putting up solar panels.

Nix put together a group of interested people and did a big bulk buy of panels for Valley homes.

He also made an investment in enough panels to install his own small solar farm. But he’s not content to stop there.

“We’re singing to the choir,” he admitted, saying that the vast majority of the community is still not engaged.

Nevertheless he believes “there’s a huge appetite in the community for solar energy.”

People want an alternative like solar for many different reasons, he said, including helping the environment, the economic impact, and just wanting to get off the grid.

The hurdle is that many people can’t afford the $10,000 to $15,000 to buy solar panels.

That is where he wants local governments to come in.

Only two per cent of greenhouse gas emissions come from muni-

“There’s a huge appetite in the community for solar energy.”

PETER NIX, solar proponent

cipal infrastructure, he said, so even if municipalities invest in solar for their own buildings and operations, the impact would be small.

What they can do to have a wider impact, he argued, is to offer a rebate program for solar panel purchasers, like the woodstove rebate program. He also floated the idea of local governments offering zero interest loans to citizens to buy panels.

Nix would further like to see local governments set up small solar energy utilities of their own — something he thinks will be a good money-maker for the future.

The return on investment for solar panels is long-term (17-20 years), he admitted, but it runs at about four per cent per year.

The demand for power will only increase, he said, and along with an economically sound investment, putting funds into solar is also investing in a socially desirable goal.

“I think it’s a damn good investment for my pension fund,” he said, comparing the return to a bond he had bought that was paying him two per cent per year.

Several directors were enthusiastic about solar, including Dir. Sonia Furstenau, who was part of the bulk solar panel buy and had the panels put up on her home last week, and Dir. Jon Lefebure, who purchased his own panels, and confirmed he’s looking at a four per cent return this year.

“The satisfaction of doing the right thing far outweighs the financial,” Lefebure said.

The subject of solar investment was referred to a future meeting.

‘CRUCIAL’, From Page 1 More than half of the Malahat is now separated by the barriers.

The intersection where the highway meets Whittaker Road and Holker Place was also worked on, extending the southbound passing lane by a kilometre and the northbound passing lane by 400 metres, providing U-turn locations and better access to the Summit rest area.

The rest area, which was used as a staging post during construction, has now re-opened, and features new parking areas and lighting, as well as a northbound acceleration lane entering the highway.

Cowichan Valley Regional District Chair and North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure was thrilled by the announcement that work is completed.

“These improvements to the highway are crucial to Cowichan Valley resi-

dents,” he said.

“One of the things not mentioned today was our very, very successful commuter bus service, which we started as a way to alleviate traffic on the Malahat.”

The commuter service currently runs six buses over the pass each morning and afternoon, with a seventh bus under consideration.

Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone lauded the improvements to the Malahat as well.

“Safety on our highways is our number one priority, and the risk of collisions involving vehicles crossing the centre line on the Malahat are a significant concern for my ministry. The addition of median barriers and other safety improvements will help prevent collisions and improve safety and reliability on this section of Highway 1 for all motorists.”

Family Day filled with fun ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

The recreation centres in the Cowichan Valley will be the place to be on Monday’s Family Day holiday.

“On Family Day we have wonderful opportunities for families to spend time together enjoying our recreational facilities,” said Cowichan Valley Regional District board chair Jon Lefebure.

The Island Savings Centre, Cowichan Lake Sports Arena, Cowichan Aquatic Centre, Kerry Park Recreation Centre, Shawnigan Lake Community Centre, and Frank Jameson Community Centre are offering free recreation opportunities on Feb. 9.

The Island Savings Centre is offering two choices for people. On Monday, Feb. 9, 2015, a free public skate will be held in the Cowichan Arena from 12 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. In addition, the ISC will host free drop-in sports in the Multi-Purpose Hall from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants will be able to choose from a variety of sports including pickleball,

basketball, badminton and more. Equipment will be available and organizers suggest that participants bring athletic footwear.

The Cowichan Aquatic Centre is again holding its Family Day celebration.

Although the centre was closed on statutory holidays in the past, the decision to open it from noon to 4 p.m. on Family Day, which falls on Monday, Feb. 9 this year, will really be welcomed, North Cowichan council learned.

“The public just love it,” said Mayor Jon Lefebure.

According to North Cowichan’s Parks and Recreation Director Ernie Mansueti, the facility followed provincial

offering a free Family Day public skate from 3:30 p.m. to 4:50 p.m. Free skate rentals are included along with complimentary hot chocolate.

The Kerry Park Recreation Centre invites the community to a familyfocused skating session from 1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Family Day; admission and skate rentals are free.

The Shawnigan Lake Community Centre, in partnership with the Shawnigan Lake Museum, will be hosting “All Roads Lead to Shawnigan Lake” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday. This event will feature art activities, floor hockey, plus a passport style scavenger hunt through the streets of Shawnigan.

If you’re looking to get away from winter you can take a splash in the water. the Frank Jameson Community Centre in Ladysmith will host a free swim from 12 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

guidelines for the newly declared holiday by opening the centre for a fourhour period Feb. 10, 2014.

A combination of a partnership with the members of CUPE Local 358 and $1,000 from the province meant the municipality could offer free entry to the pool for the event.

“The opening was a success with capacity of 450 being reached at 12:45 p.m. with line-ups waiting to get in from 12:45 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. The pool was at capacity until 3:45 p.m.,” Mansueti reported.

This year, the fun will continue with

another free swim.

Since the facility is a major recreation facility and it’s important for families to enjoy an active day together, the idea is back on the front burner again.

CUPE 358 has offered $1,125 towards paying for half the cost of the four hour opening, he said.

Coun. Kate Marsh praised the union.

“CUPE staff really step up for this and it’s really appreciated,” she said.

Event organizers also acknowledged the financial support of the Province of British Columbia in helping to make activities free on Family Day.

One of the most recognizable symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cookies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. Young valentines may share candy hearts printed with silly sentiments.

A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affection a person can share. Some may wonder just how the emotions of love became tied up in the shape of a heart, even though it’s widely known that the brain, and not the heart, governs affections.

Changes in the works for Duncan Daze LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Everybody loves a parade.

The Duncan Business Improvement Area Society recently sent out a survey asking for feedback on ways to improve its big weekend in July.

For the group’s members the action has been centered around sidewalk sales and downtown fun.

“The Duncan BIA events committee believes it is time for a fresh delivery of Duncan Daze. We feel it is time for a change: a new name and a new look. We would like to retain the traditional successful components (Rotary breakfast, sidewalk sales etc.) while saying goodbye to those with little return on investment (inflatables, outside vendors, three-day event etc.),” the survey preamble explained.

However, the survey asked broader questions as well, some on behalf of the Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival Society.

Foremost among those was whether it was a good idea to continue the annual parade or try something else instead, perhaps

a “tired parade” where the floats were stationary and the crowd walked past them.

But there was also a desire for a second look at the celebration.

Survey replies had to be in by Jan. 15 so the DBIA could evaluate the results.

“Everyone wants a parade. That was clear in the survey,” Mary Ann Hartley, DBIA co-manager, said Jan. 28.

The DBIA is not responsible for the parade; that’s the Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival Society’s job.

“But the feedback we got was that people want a parade. So we have gone to the Summer Festival people and given them that message,” she said.

“We have offered to help in some capacity to somehow ensure that there is a really good parade this year.”

Because the parade brings a lot of people into Duncan, it’s in everybody’s best interests to ensure it goes well and the DBIA has offered to help where they See DBIA, Page 19

DBIA to get back to its roots CHANGES, From Page 18 can, according to Hartley.

A post on the Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival Facebook page this week announced the Grande Parade date as Saturday, July 18.

“Join the parade committee and be a part of a bigger and better parade this year. We need the community involvement in this to pull it off as a true success. Leave a message and we will get back to you regarding times for meetings and such. We need more decorated floats possibly including more elders in their electric (carbon neutral) motorized carts, electric cart sponsorships, marching bands? We can and will have way much fun,” the festival’s post said.

Hartley said the DBIA survey didn’t elicit a huge response.

“That is typical. And quite often you find that means people don’t have strong opinions one way or another. But definitely overwhelmingly among the responses was that they were ready for some change. They definitely were in favour of leaving the streets open on Friday and then focusing more energy on Saturday.”

They want to be able to concentrate their efforts but DBIA members also want to clarify who’s doing what as many folks don’t know that the DBIA and the Summer Festival group are two entirely different entities.

Another upshot of discussions is that the DBIA is not going to repeat its onetime sponsorship of the annual children’s parade. The event was moved to Sunday last year but will probably be moved back to Friday again this year.

DBIA members wanted to go back to their roots, boosting efforts on their popular sidewalk sales and wise spending of their limited funds.

Saturday, downtown activities will change

“...it also got a good reaction from the public, so we think it’s a really strong base to build on. That event really showcases what our merchants do.”

slightly. “It costs us a lot of money to do those inflatable things and West Coast Amusements comes in May and also goes to the Cowichan Exhibition, and we shouldn’t be using membership dollars to compete with them. We can manage more interactive things: the pied pipers, the stilt people, the magicians. We want to involve people more.

“For instance, 4Cats Arts already got back to us and talked about having a big splatter paint area. That’s great. Kids love to do that kind of thing and it enhances their business,” she said.

Even though the DBIA wants to concentrate mostly on Saturday they are also planning to bring back last year’s hit, the Friday open air fashion show.

“We had a lot of buy-in from our members on that one because it’s something they can do. And it also got a good reaction from the public, so we think it’s a really strong base to build on. That event really showcases what our merchants do. It makes a lot of sense. That’s a go on Friday,” she said.

“We’re hoping the Rotary are back for the pancake breakfast on Saturday because they do that really, really well and they are such a wonderful group. We are also hoping that the [farmers’] market will be back in full operation on that Saturday. We think there’s enough room for it along with the parade and it creates a festival atmosphere and people really like it there.

“There’s lots of energy. We just have to focus on it,” Hartley said.

he has to be one of our more interesting and least known pioneers. When she passed away in Victoria, Jan. 24, 1907, at the ripe old age of 92, Sarah Williams had outlived her husband and all 10 of their children.

ment of the Fraser River gold rush in 1858 drew them north, at least as far as Victoria.

Even in 1907 it was noteworthy that their sailing vessel had taken three weeks to complete the voyage from San Francisco.

“Immediately they conCHRONICLES structed a hotel called the T.W. Paterson ‘What Cheer’ house which occupied the site of the present Dominion hotel,” the Colonist noted in her obituary. “The building was one of the first wooden buildings in Victoria and was made of lumber brought from San Francisco, lumber being [sold] at fabulous prices in Victoria at that time.”

Somehow, besides looking after 10 children, Mrs. Williams managed to look after the What Cheer, too, as her husband had suffered a paralytic stroke shortly after their arrival. He remained so afflicted until his death in 1871.

By that time Mrs. Williams had become “a pioneer of Cowichan Valley,” having moved to property at Cowichan Bay in the hope that it would improve her husband’s health. Here she “operated a summer boarding house, there being no hotel in the valley at that time, and the fine attractions of the district caused many from Victoria and elsewhere then as now to spend their holidays there”.

‘Old homestead’ taken over by Clermont Livingston

COFFEE time

WILLIAMS, From Page 20

• One Cowichan Valley business is still in the running for the 2015 Small Business BC Awards.

The top five finalists were announced last week and Averill Creek Vineyard of Duncan is up for Best International Trade.

At the very least, this puts Sarah Williams in the forefront of Valley tourism operators!

She continued to live on the “Flats” until 1890 when she returned to Victoria, residing there until her death in 1907. It’s interesting to note that among her pallbearers was another Cowichan Valley pioneer, William A. Robertson for whom Robertson Creek is named.

By then the owner of her “old homestead” was Clermont Livingston, managing director of the Tyee Copper Company which operated one of the richest mines on Mount Sicker during its famous mining boom at the turn of the last century.

Livingston is another of our more fascinating pioneers. Even his name is rich in history, being derived from Clermont, New York, which in turn takes its name from the Clermont estate, home to seven generations (230 years) of Livingstons. Among the more esteemed of these was Robert R. Livingston, 1746-1813, who, among many other accomplishments, helped draft the Declaration of Independence, administered the oath of office to George Washington as first president of the United States, and partnered with Robert Fulton in the invention of the steamboat, the Clermont. Because of his leading role in America’s struggle for independence, the British burned his stately home in 1777.

Edward, another prominent Livingston, jurist, statesman and “one of the great legal reformers of the 19th century,” served as Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson. Thus it comes as no surprise that Livingston Manor, rebuilt, is a national historic site.

As it happened, the Livingston who brought his family to Cowichan in 1892 was descended of the side of the family that remained loyal to the Crown.

The son of a failed shipowner, Clermont was born at Stamford Hill, London in 1850. At the age of 42 he and his family moved to the Valley and comfortably ensconced themselves in the former Williams guest home on the Cowichan Bay Flats, near the mouth of the Koksilah River.

Becoming intrigued by events on Mount Sicker, Livingston fronted a small development company that acquired the Tyee claim from its discoverer, Harry Smith. With his family and social connections in the Old Country, he was able to attract the investment that had been denied to Smith and make the Tyee Mine, for a few years, the mountain’s largest producer.

In October 1907, Clermont Livingston, “one of the most highly respected mining men in the province,” died unexpectedly at home after developing bronchial pneumonia. As reported, his funeral at St. Peter’s, Quamichan, “was very largely extended and the beautiful floral offerings

were too numerous to mention separately, but we would make special mention of one wreath as a mark indicating the high esteem in which Mr. Livingston was held by his employees. The wreath was nearly four feet

across, was made of beautiful white lilies, and was presented by the employees of The Tyee Copper Co.” I’ll get back to Clevelands in a future Chronicle. www.twpaterson.com

Over 460 nominations were received for the awards in 10 categories, from 70 communities across the province.

Winners will be announced Feb. 26 at a gala event at the Pan Pacific Vancouver.

Society wants your views of hospice palliative care in Valley How would you like you and your loved ones to be cared for at the end of life?

How do we make our community the best possible place to live when families are challenged with advancing illness or bereavement?

Cowichan Valley Hospice is leading a community consultation on end of life care, through a series of public meetings at the beginning of February and a survey that will be available online and distributed in public locations.

It’s about creating a vision for the future of hospice palliative care in Cowichan.

“I hope that as many residents as possible will participate in these discussions and survey opportunities so that all of us together are able to develop the end of life care that our community needs now and into the future,” said MaryAnn Deacon, Cowichan Valley Hospice board chair.

Good hospice palliative care is whole person care. It is based on a plan for care defined by the dying person, including physical comfort, relations with family and friends, concerns about meaning and existence. The care team may include family and friends, health professionals, home care workers and counsellors and volunteers who offer emotional and spiritual support.

Hospice palliative care includes care for the bereaved.

Hospice palliative care is an approach to care, not a place. There needs to be choices for where people will be cared for at the end of their lives, choices that are very limited in the Cowichan region.

Meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 10 at Lake Cowichan Upper Hall Commun-

ity Centre 2-4:30 p.m.; Wednesday, Feb. 11 at Ladysmith Eagles Hall 6:30-9 p.m.; Monday, Feb. 16 at St. John’s Anglican Church, Duncan 1-3:30 p.m. and 6-8:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Feb. 17 at Shawnigan Lake Community Centre 1-3:30 p.m.

Shared Care and Our Cowichan Community Health Network are providing funding assistance.

If you can’t make the meetings, but still want to participate, an online survey will be available soon. For more information, email events.cvhs@shaw.ca

Speaker to talk Israel and Palestine at VIU stop on tour Jeff Halper, an American-Israeli, is bringing his cross Canada speaking tour to the Duncan campus of Vancouver Island University on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

At 10:30 a.m. he will give a talk entitled Imagining a future for Israel and Palestine: beyond fear and violence.

“Israel’s planning and zoning policies make it extremely difficult for Palestinians to obtain building permits — and Palestinians who build without permits risk demolition,” said Duncan’s Harry Berbrayer of Mid-Islanders for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, in announcing the event. “But Jeff Halper and ICAHD are focused on more than the decades-long Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes. They are dedicated to ending Israel’s military occupation, and to promoting justice and self-determination for Palestinians. Jeff’s vision is of a single political state, with full rights for all.”

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Sarah Kaufmann from Frances Kelsey and Rylee Keller from Cowichan Secondary had a proposal for the Cowichan Valley Board of Education in January.

Appearing on behalf of their C o m p a s s i o n a t e L e a d e rs h i p group they suggested that the board could help them with an event they’re calling SD 79 Day of Change in 2016.

They’re basing the idea on We Day, an inspirational all-day event empowering youth with the idea

They want more local students to be able to get the benefits, so they propose developing a day in the Valley in 2016, held at the Cowichan Theatre.

The theatre’s capacity would allow more than 700 students to attend, Kaufmann said and

Keller said it would be great to see the Cowichan Valley district “take a step of their own” towards such a great day for students.

Kaufmann asked that the board consider giving the idea a boost “so we can all be a team.”

By early February, Rhodes reported that the students were working with the Intercultural Society on the project. “They’re pretty jazzed about it,” he said.

Piggies get past Sheep

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Two more ties over a three-day span have helped Cowichan continue to climb out of the basement of Div. 1 of the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association.

After a scoreless draw with Juan de Fuca on Sunday, Cowichan played host to Prospect Lake in a makeup game on Tuesday evening, and salvaged a 1-1 tie with the division’s second-place team.

Head coach Marilyn Pugh was worried her team was in trouble after Prospect Lake opened the scoring early in the match.

“Our defence got kind of messed up so they easily got through and scored,” she said.

Later in the first half, Letitia Turlock was taken out with what Pugh called “a great hip check if we had been playing in a hockey game.” Nicole Pugh took the penalty kick from about 20 yards out and got it around the wall and out of the Prospect Lake keeper’s reach.

“We did have a few other chances in the game but weren’t able to put them in the net,” Marilyn Pugh said. “Nicole had a breakaway that she shot at the goalie,

Cowichan players celebrate Nicole Pugh’s goal against Prospect Lake.

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Letitia had a chance but it was too soft, Rachel Pugh had a couple of chances but missed scoring, and Jessica Robinson also had a chance.”

The Lakers nearly scored again, but rang the ball off the crossbar behind Cowichan keeper Kerynne Bain. Unfortunately, Jen Mann reinjured her recently healed ankle, joining Tia Turlock, who suffered a concussion against JDF, on the sidelines.

Next up for Cowichan is thirdplace Vic West this Friday night at Finlayson Park in Victoria.

They will play host to Vic West at Evans Park on Sunday at noon.

Outstanding Morris leads CVWC at Alberni Invitational KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Domination on the girls’ side and a big match between two Queen of Angels wrestlers on the boys’ side were among the highlights for the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club at the Alberni Invitational Meet late last month.

CVWC girls collected four firstplace finishes, among several other impressive results, in Port Alberni. Andrea Morris of Cowichan Secondary was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler in the cadet girls division as she and Hannah Tuplin of Chemainus placed first in the 47kg and 51kg classes, respectively, and their school teams tied for fourth in the standings.

Another Cowichan Secondary wrestler, Rayne Hankins, won the juvenile girls 90kg class, while Q of A’s Heather MacKay and Helena Ellis placed first in the school girls 65kg and 61kg classes, respectively.

“It was Helena’s first tournament, so it was kind of cool that she got to wrestle in the final against an Alberni girl,” head coach Nick Zuback said. “They were filming that match for the TV, so she ended up on Shaw that night.”

Other school girls results includ-

ed Grace Rhone placing second at 34kg, Sydney Hall in third at 39kg, Stephanie Mould in third at 52kg, and Hailey Bye-Pace in sixth at 52kg. All six school girls wrestlers represented Q of A, which finished third in the team standings, two points out of second.

Two Q of A wrestlers, Antonio Diaz and Talon Hird, ended up squaring off in the school boys 31kg final, with Diaz coming out ahead.

“It was probably one of the best matches of the weekend,” Zuback said. “It really went back and forth.”

Diaz and Hird led Q of A to fifth place in the team standings.

Another CVWC wrestler, Drinkwater’s Rowan Gillard, finished second in the 56kg class.

In the cadet boys division, John-Lee Wong-Bates placed third in the 66kg class, while his Q of A teammates Aiden Tuplin and Daniel Wanner both placed fifth, in the 57kg and 60kg classes, respectively. In the juvenile boys division, Jacob Berry-McKechnie and Jimmy Wyld, both of Cowichan Secondary, placed sixth at 60kg and 70kg, respectively.

The CVWC is taking a big group to the Campbell River Invitational this weekend, and will host the Island championships on Feb. 14.

Mike Roberts scored both tries for the Cowichan Piggies last Saturday as they got back in the win column by dominating the Port Alberni Black Sheep in a 20-19 victory.

“The score did indicate a close game, but it wasn’t as close as the scoreline,” Cowichan head coach Gord McGeachy said.

The Piggies got on the scoreboard early on a penalty goal

by Danny Hamstra. They kept up the pressure for the next few minutes and were rewarded with Roberts’s first try, converted by Hamstra. Cowichan didn’t manage to recover the ensuing kickoff, however, and Alberni was able to collect the ball and score. The Piggies’ 10-7 lead held up through to halftime.

“In the first half, we had about 75 per cent of possession and about 75 per cent of territory,” McGeachy said. “We were just having problems getting the ball across the line.”

The second half began in a similar fashion to the first. Roberts scored his second try about 15 minutes in, with another conversion by Hamstra. Alberni responded with an unconverted try soon after.

“We were very close to scoring again, but we had a defensive lapse and turned the ball over, and they ran basically the length of the field to score,” McGeachy related.

Hamstra kicked another penalty goal to put Cowichan up 20-12 with about 10 minutes remaining, and the Piggies went about defending the lead. The Piggies were attacking with the ball around midfield on the last play of the game, when they turned the ball over and Alberni took it

Cowichan collected four points out of the win, but surrendered a bonus point to Alberni, and the Piggies remain three points behind the Sheep in the Cowichan Cup standings.

“It was a big win,” McGeachy

said. “Alberni was on quite a roll.

They hadn’t lost in quite a while.

We played well in large parts of the game.”

Cowichan will play an exhibition game this Saturday, hosting the UVic Saxons development side at 1 p.m.

Info night for hockey academy KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Frances Kelsey Secondary School will be holding an information meeting next Tuesday (Feb. 10) for parents interested in signing their kids up for the very successful hockey academy for the 2015/16 school year.

Next year will be the third year for Kelsey’s hockey academy, which is open to boys and girls in Grades 8-12. Operated jointly by the school, the Cowichan Valley School District and RPM Hockey, the program isn’t geared toward elite players, but

rather to players of any ability levels who want to work to improve their skills.

In previous years, the academy has served as a motivator for students who were struggling in school. Before-school ice times at Kerry Park Arena next door help students get to school on time.

Next Tuesday’s meeting will be held at the Frances Kelsey library, beginning at 7 p.m. For more information, contact vice principal Lori Hrynuik at 250-743-6916 or lhrynuik@sd79.bc.ca or Craig Millin of RPM Hockey at 604-476-0464 or craig@ rpmhockey.com Braeden Cross skates with a Victoria Cougars player in pursuit.

The Kerry Park Islanders collected a single point over two Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League games last weekend.

On Friday, the Isles battled back from one-goal, two-goal and three-goal deficits to tie the score each time, but they didn’t get a chance to respond to the final goal in a 7-6 overtime loss.

After Westshore went ahead 1-0 midway through the first period, Zack Smith replied for the Isles. The Wolves then went up by two, but Patrick Poets and Tanner Browne evened the score for Kerry Park.

In the third period, Westshore managed to build a three-goal lead, but Braeden Cross, Smith, and Lynden Eddy answered back to force overtime. The Wolves scored a minute and 23 seconds into the extra frame.

Kerry Park scoring leader Cross had two assists to go along with his goal, while Bittner and Cody Short also had a pair of helpers apiece. Leighton Williams started the game in net, and allowed five goals on 26 shots over 47 minutes before he was replaced by Ty Rennie, who stopped six of the eight shots he faced.

That game was followed by a 12-0 loss to the Victoria Cougars on Saturday night.

The Cougars scored four goals in the first period, six in the second and two more in the third. The Isles were outshot 55-14.

Rennie stopped 26 of the 33 shots he faced, before being replaced by Williams, who stopped 17 of 22 shots.

The Isles visited the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Thursday and will play their regular-season home finale on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against the Saanich Braves.

Ceevacs’ Cobble Hill 10K road race sees records fall in multiple divisions KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Comox Valley runner Derek Vinge and UVic’s Alison Hooper were the top finishers at the Cobble Hill 10K road race late last month.

The second stage of the Frontrunners Island Race Series attracted more than 500 athletes.

“With excellent weather today, our racers were able to produce some fast times, with a lot of personal bests,” race director Ian Milne said. “Congratulations to UVic’s Alison Hooper and Comox

Runners begin the Cobble Hill 10K. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Valley’s Derek Vinge for their excellent runs. We couldn’t put on an event like this without the help of our sponsors, my sincere

thanks to them. And of course, thanks to our 60 volunteers from the Cowichan Valley’s Ceevacs Running Club who contributed to

a great event. Our intention was to provide a safe, enjoyable, and well organized event; I believe our club fulfilled that.”

Vinge finished the race in 32 minutes and 46 seconds, 11 ticks ahead of Craig Odermatt, while Jeremy Clegg placed third in 33:01.

The top masters runner, Odermatt also set an age-class record in the men’s 45-49 division.

Hooper moved up from a secondplace finish among women in 2014 with her time of 36:43. Melissa Ross was second in 37:09, while Claire Morgan, the top masters
