$79K federal grant for theatre setting stage for future LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
The Cowichan Theatre has received $79,195 to build a stagelevel washroom plus other muchneeded renovations. The money comes in the form of a Canadian Heritage Grant from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund. This is the first time the Cowichan Theatre has submitted an application for this grant and there was no way of gauging its chances for success, according to CVRD arts and culture division manager Kirsten Schrader. The idea of having some washrooms at stage level is thrilling, she said, laughing. “That’s probably one of the most popular of the three projects for people that have performed or worked on the stage. It’s a problem not to have a washroom at stage level.” Elderly people as well as the many young performers that make local productions so special will really welcome the addition, she said. “People that have heard about that have really cheered.” But long before the cheering started, there was a lot of work going on behind the scenes. The Cowichan Theatre has never tried for a grant from this
group before or of this magnitude but Schrader wanted to get a Cowichan foot in the door. “I am aware of this from my own background working in Vancouver. Since I came here I’ve always been researching grant opportunities. I’ve applied for some smaller ones that we’ve received but this is the biggest one so far but, you know, it’s a lot of work to get a grant like this from Canadian Heritage,” she said. It’s a national program and that means competing with other eager facilities from across the country. “The application process was quite extensive, too, because they weren’t aware of our theatre. There were probably about three or four months of follow-up questions from the panel reviewing our application as well. “They were getting to know the theatre. They wanted to know that we had a presenting season, that we buy shows, professional shows, and bring them here, that we’re not working solely with community groups. So there was a lot of work done on my part to familiarize them with the work that we do and to assure them that we meet the See More fly lines • page 8

Most residents of Parkland Place were returning to their apartments this week after a fire forced the evacuation of the building last Sunday, but some will be waiting longer to get back home. As of Thursday, about 22 individuals still hadn’t been able to return, according to Cowichan Valley Regional District Manager of Public Safety Sybille Sanderson. “We are providing some hotels and meals,” she said. “And some folks are still staying with friends and family.” A meeting is planned for Friday morning where those residents will learn more about the situation. She hopes a few more will be able to go home over the weekend. BC Housing and the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation are being consulted for long-term solutions. “We’ll work through what options might be available,” Sanderson said. The fire broke out in a third-floor apartment in the south end of the Dobson Road building. Residents were let back into the north end of the building on Tuesday, and some were allowed back into their firstand second-floor apartments in the south end on Wednesday and Thursday. Others whose units sustained water and smoke damage were still waiting. The apartment where the fire started is boarded up so insurance investigators and firefighters can work together to determine the cause, something Duncan Fire
The huge pall of smoke from the fire draws a lot of onlookers to watch what happens at the apartment building. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] Chief Mike McKinley expects to happen next week. There are some empty units in the building that could be used by residents who can’t return to their own apartments, McKinley noted. “Hopefully it’s getting back to normal,” he added. “It will take a while, but everything is up and running.” The Emergency Response Centre set up at the Island Savings Centre and operated by staff from the ISC, CVRD and City of Duncan ran smoothly. Residents from Parkland Place were registered and fed there, and some were able

He noted in a letter to the Citizen how pleased he was with the emergency team headed up by ISC manager John Elzinga, and by the rest of the community’s response. “All acted with calm professional competence with reassuring

While the thought is appreciated, the CVRD doesn’t have enough storage, so they will take down information from organizations or individuals and accept donations after they can assess what is needed. “We are compiling a list of potential donors, and we will connect clients with donations,” she said.

Kyle Jonathan Adams had a positive outlook on life — something his family hopes will help them deal with his sudden death last week. “I think he was so peaceful,� Kyle’s mom, Lorraine Adams, said. “I think we can all learn a lot from a person like that. “Kyle wouldn’t stress over something like this.� The 25-year-old died after his car lost control on Osborne Bay Road shortly before midnight last Thursday and rolled into a ravine. A passenger, one of Kyle’s close friends, was able to get out and seek help, but Kyle was pronounced dead at the scene. An adventurous man, Kyle spent time on Haida Gwaii after graduating from Cowichan Secondary School, and worked in the Yukon, always taking time to explore his surroundings. “He loved the outdoors,� Lorraine recalled. “He loved hiking, not so much staying on the trails as finding his own trails.� Kyle was also sensitive and thoughtful. “He was very insightful,� Lor-

raine said. “He knew what was important in life.� Family and friends were the most important things to Kyle, who had a particular attachment to his oneand-a-half-year-old niece, Layla. The daughter of Kyle’s younger sister, Kymberly, Layla lives in Edmonton, but came to visit at Christmas.
“He liked to play guitar for her, and she would move around, trying to dance,� Lorraine said. “He would take her to the beach. He was sharing what he loved with her.� Kyle’s family also includes an older sister, Jessica Peters, who recently moved back to the Island, and a dad who lives on Haida Gwaii. Also important to Kyle was music, something he loved to share with his friends and family, or enjoy on his own. Lorraine would often listen to him writing songs in the basement. “He loved to play guitar by the campfire, either with friends or just by himself,� she said. Kyle had recently returned to school at Vancouver Island University with the goal of becoming an engineer. It will be his unique perspective that leaves the biggest impact. “He had a g rea t sense of humour,� Lorraine recalled. “He said it was important to laugh at things because they’re not going to matter a year from now.� Kyle Adams will be remembered this Saturday in a service at St. Edward’s Church at 1 p.m.

Miles Phillips mourned by community groups
Hutchins: is there an Island solution? From page 1
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
With his commitments spanning a host of environmental and social non-profit organizations as well as a family, Miles Alexander Phillips will be missed by many in the Cowichan Valley. “It’s a terrible loss for his family and for the community,” said Grant Waldman, the executive director of the West Coast Men’s Support Society, where Phillips was board chair. Phillips died last Thursday morning after losing control of his car on Telegraph Road and striking a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Phillips was also involved in various capacities with Cowichan Energy Alternatives, the Cowichan Bio-Diesel Co-op, Greasecycle, Inc., The Mankind Project, Volunteer Cowichan and the BC Biofuel Network. Cowichan Energy Alternatives, where he served as president until recently, issued a joint press release with some of its partners to address the loss of Phillips. “ We a t C ow i c h a n E n e r g y Alternatives are all in a state of shock with the tragic loss of Miles Phillips from our community,” the statement read. “We, along with our partners at Cowichan BioDiesel Co-operative and Greasecycle Inc., are all saddened by this tragic event. We will be taking time to remember the good works we shared with Miles and our hearts go out to his family and friends. We wish them strength and patience in bearing this tragic loss.” Phillips leaves behind a wife, Angela, and two teenage daughters. He was in the midst of finishing his MBA. Waldman, who worked with Phillips for nearly five years, remembered Phillips’s tireless dedication to the many causes he supported. “He was a real doer,” Waldman said. “He was a really progressive guy with lots of great ideas.” Phillips taught Waldman a great deal about working in the non-
Miles Phillips [CITIZEN FILE] profit sector. “Miles was right behind me, and he had my back,” Waldman said. “There’s lots of tools he’s left behind for me to use, and I’m grateful for that.” Although many who knew Phillips will remember him for his business sense, Waldman made sure to point out that there was a lot more to him. “He was a good friend and a great family man,” he said.

An air quality advisory for the Duncan area that was in place early this week has ended. The provincial Ministry of Environment and Island Health put the advisory in place due to high concentrations of particulate matter that was trapped in the air close to the ground due to weather conditions and air inversions. Those conditions have now lifted, said Earle Plain, air quality meteorologist with the Ministry, in a press release. “A cleansing weather system… moved through the area overnight and this morning,” Wednesday’s release stated.
it and truck it out. But these things happen. Contingency is important.” Income is dropping and expenses are increasing in the CVRD’s solid waste world, partly because aggressive recycling programs are taking money out of the waste stream as less garbage finds it way to the facilities but also because private collection services are draining off some of the commercial business from these regional stations. Director Mel Dorey asked if people were taking garbage to Nanaimo instead of CVRD facilities and Dennison replied that while there is some of that in the northern part of the district, it’s not the major source of financial leakage in the solid waste department. “Direct hauling to landfills in Washington is a major problem,” he told Dorey. On top of that, the rising cost of disposal is making CVRD officials sharpen their pencils. “It’s hard to guess what will happen to the Canadian dollar but it’s alarming because we pay for disposal in U.S. dollars,” Dennison said. Director Ian Morrison asked if there has been an increase

Ladysmith director Rob Hutchins asked if there is a possible Island solution to barging garbage away from the Cowichan Valley. “We’re always open to discussion; it always comes up,” Dennison said. North Oyster director Mary
Marcotte said the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities was looking at holding a session on that subject soon. Duncan director Phil Kent said he thought adding some extra money to the solid waste budget was necessary so directors could “hedge our bets a little” but pointed out that “if our tipping level is going down, at least we’re sending away less.” CVRD CAO Warren Jones said that the dramatic changes in the Canadian dollar in recent weeks mean that the district will “have to assume a degree of risk” in budgeting for this. Directors approved $175,000 extra for solid waste, and wanted to ensure that $85,000 of it went towards upgrades at Bings Creek that will increase the chances of earning more revenue there.

OUR VIEW
Bill may finally force us to deal with our trash t has always been a mistake not to deal with our own garbage on our own Island. And now the consequences of shipping our trash to the United States are hitting, like chickens coming home to roost, as the Canadian dollar falls. Now that the Loonie is no longer at, or close to parity with the U.S. dollar, our out-of-country, out-of-mind philosophy is no longer working for us quite as well as it used to. You see, our regional district has to pay those tipping fees in U.S. dollars, and the bill starts to really increase when those U.S.
I
dollars start to cost us a lot more. We’ve been doing pretty well in the Cowichan Valley in recent years in (finally — much of the rest of Canada was light years ahead of us) getting on board with diverting more of our waste to recycling and composting. Curbside compost pickup programs have been very successful in places like Duncan, North Cowichan and Ladysmith (who led the way), and the Town of Lake Cowichan is starting a program too. People are getting the hang of separating out their food scraps along with their soiled food car-

tons and napkins. In many areas garbage pickup is now only done once every two weeks, because these other recycling programs have cut down on what goes into the trash to such a large extent. And we’re in favour of the idea of having a once or twice per year free pickup of such things as appliances, old furniture, wood etc. Such pickups are very successful in other areas, and even provide a sort of “free” mass yard sale for folks who cruise the piles prior to pickup and snag stuff they figure they can repair and reuse themselves.
The types of pickups can also put a nice big dent in the amount of garbage people take out into the bush and toss, littering our beautiful out-of-doors with refuse. But that still leaves the one component we haven’t gotten a handle on — the stuff that can’t be recycled. We must come up with a better way to deal with it, whether it’s biting the bullet and finding a spot for a landfill, or looking into incineration or other disposal methods. We create it. We can’t pretend the garbage fairies take it away. The bill’s too high.
It makes me ashamed to say I am from Vancouver Island when I see and hear about the protesters that were at Brentwood school during Prime Minister Harper’s visit. Everyone is entitled to their political opinions and they can express that when they vote or at a peaceful demonstration, but this protest was disgusting and shameful. I cannot imagine what kind of parents would involve little children in such an event. We should be happy that a prime minister visited our Island (the first one since Louis St. Laurent). It does show he cares about all parts of Canada. There is absolutely no respect for anything or anyone in this day and age and it has just been confirmed by these goons who have no respect for the head of our country regardless of his or her political party. Very sad.

Trade deals are eroding our way of life There are two so-called free trade deals on the horizon. One, as mentioned by Trudy Thorgeirson of Duncan is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The other is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union. Also in the works are several one-on-one trade deals. e.g. South Korea, Israel. But let’s go back to an earlier one, NAFTA, for a second. NAFTA, at its core continues to be about shifting the power in the economy from governments to corporations as in shifting jobs to developing nations where workers work for a lot less
Mary-Ann Bennett Duncan money. I don’t believe it was ever expected to help small business so it’s not difficult to figure out what has been happening to our middle class in recent years. These global trade deals, when signed by the Harper government, will reinforce this trend and will add more far-reaching restrictions to our economy and humanity. Think environment, safety regulations and pharmaceutical costs for a start, while continuing to watch our social programs all but disappear. This is for real folks. Today’s global “corporatism” is demanding this from all leaders of countries who have opted into or been forced into this present day era of globalization. They, the corporations, want it
all as do the shareholders. Where do you think all the good middle class manufacturing jobs have gone? Ask yourself too, why can’t my well-educated son or daughter get a decent job? This is what the Occupy Movement and Idle No More was all about. I think it’s time we all began to rethink what is happening to our world or at the very least begin to get interested. Oh! And don’t count on the corporate media to inform you. We have to seek out alternative media and/or non-governmental websites not to forget to mention the letters to the editor segments in the local papers. Gloria Cope Chemainus

I have been pleased to see the letters in the Citizen by Trudy Thorgeirson and Donna Cameron pointing out the costs to Canadians of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. That trade deal and the one being negotiated with Europe (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, and with China, all contain clauses guaranteeing the right of companies to sue a government for laws that the company feels have harmed or could harm their business, even if those laws protect the best interests of the citizens of the country. Because these investor/state provisions take power away from our elected representatives to make laws protecting our wellbeing and the health of our environment, and cost governments money, they are becoming so controversial that some countries are questioning them. Australia, for one, has balked at their inclusion in the TPP, and in Britain in January, a motion in the British House of Parliament, signed by MPs from all parties, called for trade talks with the U.S. to be frozen because of a similar investor/state provision, and members of the European parliament have also expressed their concerns about them in CETA. There is also a much more practical

reason to not want these investor/state clauses included in trade treaties: they cost us our hard earned taxpayer dollars! In 2010, the Harper government gave the giant U.S. paper company AbitibiBowater $130 million of our money when the company threatened to sue them through the investor/state clause in NAFTA. The dispute arose when the company closed its mill in Newfoundland in 2008. The province took back its rights to the timber and water because it said that the terms of the company’s 1905 lease with the province said those rights were contingent upon operating the mill. The federal Conservative government stepped in and decided to pay up rather than face a costly suit, so it just handed over the $130 million. One hundred thirty million dollars! Imagine what else we could have done with that money — more money for health care, or more money for job training programs, or extended EI benefits, or properly caring for veterans with PTSD, or better schools on First Nations reserves, or.... The list of projects that need money more than a big U.S. company is very long! We really have to let our governments know that we don’t want these types of provisions in our trade deals.

grant criteria.” These grants are for theatres that present shows, not those that solely rent out the facility. But now, with all that work, Schrader has introduced them to the theatre. “The next time we apply they will know us. And you can apply as many times as you want. And of course it reduces the load onto the taxpayers, too. This is very good news that we are going to start to and hopefully continue to receive funds from the federal government,” she said. Although many theatre users are applauding the idea of stagelevel washrooms, others are also very pleased that other changes are coming. “The crews that unload the shows from the back of semi trucks are thrilled about our loading dock upgrades. That will make their job easier because sometimes it has not been even possible to bring in the equipment that they have because the ramp wasn’t appropriate and there were also safety standards to meet. And, there’s a new roof so the stairs won’t ice over and freeze,
plus removing a sill from a doorway so you can push a 600-pound cart straight through rather than try to get it over the bump. Lots of things,” she said. An air curtain is going to protect the stage. “There’s a draft that goes right up the freight elevator. Now, there’s going to be what’s called an air curtain to prevent that draft so the performers on the stage won’t be freezing.” Some of the changes will bring unexpected benefits for the folks in the seats, too. “Completion of the fly system allows us to bring in full-production sets. And the sets won’t need to be modified because we didn’t have enough fly lines.” Before this, Cowichan audiences were perhaps unknowingly having to see modified sets from some of the bigger professional shows “because we didn’t have enough fly lines to raise the sets the shows wanted, compromising the experience,” according to Schrader. This enhancement will really open up opportunities. “It also allows local groups to expand their shows because they were also being hamstrung,” Schrader said.

Top minds get up-close look at Valley watershed LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
National and international experts got to see for themselves how watersheds are being affected by a changing world when they visited the Valley for a three-day conference this week. An event, entitled Watersheds 2014, held at the Quw’utsun Conference Centre and presented by the POLIS project on ecological governance, wrapped up Wednesday after offering 200 visitors the chance to view the iconic Cowichan watershed as they pooled ideas. Rob Hutchins, chair of the Cowichan Valley Regional District as well as the Cowichan Valley Watershed Board, said that event organizers have been surprised by the dry winter this year. “When we planned this we didn’t anticipate such a weather event. Yes, it’s very concerning. Not only is there no snow pack, we’ve also had little precipitation. Nothing is being stored.� So the visitors have seen the watershed before what could be a desperate summer of water shortages. “It will be an opportunity,� Hutchins said. “Because it’s not a regular year, this could be the motivation that we need to take a greater role managing this precious resource. “One of the reasons why this conference is happening is because of climate change. So while this weather pattern is unusual, we haven’t seen much evidence of it in our past, it appears to be something for our future,� Hutchins said. Some of the participants also signed up for a four-hour tour of the Cowichan watershed on Sunday before the full three-day conference started on Monday. Hutchins was delighted at the opportunity to showcase the Cowichan watershed, saying that organizers found the venue was an easy sell. “One of the principals behind POLIS, Oliver Brandes, is a special advisor to the Cowichan Watershed Board, so when we heard that POLIS was going to be putting on this national/international conference
“When we planned this we didn’t anticipate such a weather event. Yes, it’s very concerning. Not only is there no snow pack, we’ve also had little precipitation. Nothing is being stored.� ROB HUTCHINS, Cowichan Valley Regional District board chair
on watershed governance we actually invited them to take a look at hosting it in the Cowichan rather than in Victoria. “They came up and took a look around. Cowichan Tribes representatives took them through the Quw’utsun Centre right on the Cowichan River. You can’t really get a better spot to host this conference. Local watershed issues and local watershed governance: it’s all right there. “That facility captured their imagination and the rest is history. They had an immediate take up on the registration. I don’t think they even had to advertise it. They emailed interested parties across Canada and were filled up within two weeks.� Hutchins said it was exciting to know that the best, most creative minds in this field were coming to the conference. There’s plenty still to do. “The watershed board is a child both of the CVRD and Cowichan Tribes. The [low flow] crisis of 2003 galvanized action and a whole variety of agencies helped invest in the Cowichan Watershed Basin Study,� he said. But two more crises were needed before politicians would actually move, he said. “We had another dry year in 2006 and we had the flooding in 2009 so by the beginning of 2010 there was that political will that said, ‘Okay, we need to invest in implementation both in financial and human resources to implement the watershed basin plan’.� The plan is there and now, with the impetus of a big conference, it may be time to move forward on some of the plan’s goals, Hutchins said.

Superstore manager Steve Metcalfe and Bev Stone receive framed copies of Swept Away from songwriter Loren Halloran. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]
$1,000 donation kicks off memorial fundraiser KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
The Real Canadian Superstore is hoping other businesses and area residents follow its example in supporting a fundraiser in memory of Karrie-Ann Stone. Store manager Steve Metcalfe pledged $1,000 toward the fundraiser coming up this Sunday at the Cowichan Bay Pub. “It’s an excellent cause,� Metcalfe said. “We’re hoping this creates awareness and everyone starts jumping on the bandwagon.� Loren Halloran, an employee at Superstore and a songwriter who has penned a tune in Stone’s honour, was thrilled with the business’s involvement. “It helped weave a band around the basket that we call community,� he said.
Stone was murdered in July 2010 at the age of 42. William Gordon Robert Elliott pleaded guilty to killing her and 18-yearold Tyeshia Jones the following January. The fundraiser begins at 4 p.m. on Sunday. For $20, supporters get a burger and a beer, and can take in live music and a silent auction. Proceeds will go to Cowichan Women Against Violence and Somenos Transition House. Halloran won’t be performing his song, Swept Away: Reflections of Karrie-Ann Stone, but it will be played on the pub’s PA system, and copies of the CD will be available. Tickets will be available at the door, or can be purchased in advance from Bev Stone via the Facebook page titled Tribute to Karrie-Ann Stone.

er, in jargon, appears on the last page. Whatever the case, this English-born Methodist missionary arrived in Duncan in 1899 after previous postings as a lay minister working with Native peoples in Nanaimo, Vancouver and Chilliwack. Tate’s one of those rare gems for historians, a pioneer who kept detailed diaries, as the late chronicler Bill Owens rejoiced when researching his history of the Duncan United Church in the late 1960s. From Tate’s diaries, kept at the British Columbia Provincial Archives, we know that he and his wife arrived in Duncan, June 15, 1899. Their reception was less than warm: “No one met us or offered help. An Indian told us we were not wanted, as the Indians were all good. A day later this man came and expressed sorrow for his remark and promised to attend services.” October 11, Tate “bought two lots through Mr. Whittome, Real Estate, for $225 for a Mission House. Mr. David Spencer [wealthy Victoria department store owner] paid for them.” By December, he had men excavating the site, then set a Mr. Williams to work. The 29th of that month was the great day that Mrs. Tate “laid the corner-stone and in the cavity were placed copies of the Colonist, the Guardian [Duncan didn’t have its own newspaper in 1899] and Conference Reports. The Rev. and Mrs. Duncan departed Duncan in 1910. By all indications, they were warmly regarded and highly respected for their work among the Cowichan Tribes. Among his legacies, besides that of the Duncan Mission: two day schools and a night school, a fishermen’s union, a grist mill, a printed vocabulary of the Cowichan (Hul’qumi’num) tongue, and a dictionary and hymnal in Chinook. Completed in March 1900, the Mission
These would include many household items such as dishes, glasses and small appliances.

House is significant in that it predated Duncan’s incorporation as a city by 12 years. By then missionary efforts had been moved to Koksilah and in 1922 the Duncan Mission property was sold to Dr. Cornhill for $2,470. The old structure served as his office and for a time as a public health centre. At the time of Mr. Muenter’s article in the Colonist, the three men demolishing the Mission House had found some old photographs and copies of the local Leader and Victoria papers, but no time capsule. There’s no mention of its being found in Duncan United Church records during research for an update of Mr. Owens’ book in 2005. But back to Chinook Jargon, which takes its name from a tribe that lived on the Columbia River in the American Northwest. In the late 1700s, when the traders of John Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Co. and the North West Co. set up shop in the Oregon Territory, they found the Chinook language to be tongue-tying for English and French speaking employees. So they coined a hybridized jargon of French-Metis, English, Spanish and Chinook. It worked so well that, within 10 years, it had become the language of choice between traders and native tribes throughout Oregon and Washington Territories. It advanced throughout much of the future province of British Columbia after the Hudson’s Bay Co. absorbed the North West Co. Consisting of fewer than 500 words, Chinook served well until English became the common communicator. It has been described as a Pidgin English, “an amalgam of sounds derived from different locations”. Modern-day linguists have determined that the famous trade

Dress in Scottish best for Heart and Stroke Robbie Burns day is just finished but the Heart and Stroke Foundation is inviting everyone to a special Scottish-themed Celebrity Breakfast Monday, Feb. 3, at the Silver Bridge Inn starting at 7:30 a.m. Yes, lads and lassies, this 28th annual event will offer fun and fundraising in Highland style with a theme entitled “Scot-
tish at Heart”. Emcee Cameron MacDrew will pipe in this year’s Heart Month in great style, organizers promise, so why not join the fun? Come in your plaids and kilts and bring your Scottish brogue, too. Singer Lynnea Bruce will also be there and attendees can enjoy some highland dancing and piping and even have a chance to taste some haggis. Call now to reserve your seat
because this event sells out every year, drawing a crowd of more than 300 business people and other supporters. This year’s campaign goal of $15,000 will help alleviate this growing problem. Tickets are $15 each and are available from Colleen Marsel. Email colleenmarsel@shaw.ca or call her at 250-748-9614 to reserve your seat. Lexi Bainas, Citizen

Chinook terms remain with us From page 10 jargon is composed, roughly, of 10 per cent Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), 15 per cent English, 15 per cent Métis French and 50 per cent Old Chinook “with a sprinkling of words from Cree and Ojibway”. Numerous Chinook terms and expressions are with us yet and some grace our maps. For example, skookumchuck, meaning a body of saltwater and skookum, strong; tyee, meaning chief or someone of importance (which isn’t given in the Hibben dictionary). Then we have such fascinating holdovers as: tilikum (friend); bed and boat (exactly what they mean, some of the English terms used); kamas (the native plant camas whose edible root was a food staple for Natives); klahow-ya, greetings; klootchman,
woman; ma-ma, mother; man, man; Mesachie, bad, wicked; moon, moon; muck-a-muck, food; nose, nose or point of land; papa, father; potlatch, the native ceremony that involves the mass distribution of gifts; salal, the native berry bush; Si-wash, Indian; tenas, small, not much, a child; tik-tik, watch; puss-puss, cougar! Some of them, when you see the English definition, bring a smile. I was particularly intrigued by Scotty, the word for crazy, which also applied to lunatic asylum a.k.a. Scotty House. This has to have originated in Victoria in the 1860s when a mentally troubled pioneer of this name was forever in trouble with the police or in jail. But I’ve already told you that story. Kla-how-ya, tilikum! www.twpaterson.com

Valley products lead Team BC to historic Vegas Sevens jackpot KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Four Cowichan Valley rugby players and one coach helped Team BC to an historic win in the prestigious Las Vegas Sevens tournament last weekend. Cowichan Secondary’s Adrienne Saari and Hannah Morten, Brentwood College’s Ciel ArbourBoehme, and Shawnigan Lake School graduate Nicole Crowley were all key contributors as Team BC topped the High School Girls division at the Vegas Sevens, the first major tournament win for B.C.’s women’s sevens program. Team BC won the final 32-10 over Atlantis, a regional team from the Eastern U.S., and the only team to defeat BC in pool play. “The fact that two teams from the same pool made the final shows the strength of our pool,” said Brad Skene, head coach of Team BC and Cow High. After going 2-1 in pool play, BC defeated the Minnesota Tundra in the quarterfinals and the Serevi Selects from Seattle in the semis. Skene was pleased with the play of all four local players. “Adrienne was an outstanding leader and player,” he said. “She is most familiar with the game plan so her voice, vision and
Hannah Morten, Adrienne Saari, Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Nicole Crowley and Brad Skene helped Team BC win gold in Las Vegas. [SUBMITTED] knowledge were key. Hannah was a closer. Being the spark plug that she is, she came later into the game and used her energy to take advantage of tired opponents. “Ciel had the best performances I have seen from her. I challenged her in a number of aspects of her game play and she showed a lot of character to adjust her game for the group. Nicole was not initially selected due to an injury which slowed her down at the trials but once in our lineup, she put in a number of MVP performances.” The BC Banshees, a travelling team that won the bowl final in the same division, included Shawnigan’s Madison Brattan,
Brentwood’s McKenna Haz and Brooklyn Navarrete, and Ladysmith’s McKenzie Saysell. In the High School Boys Division, BC Gold reached the final, taking second place behind the USA High School All Americans. Shawnigan’s George Barton scored four tries for BC Gold over the course of the tournament. BC Blue won the plate final, getting four tries from Shawnigan’s Wesley Wong over the tournament and one from Marshall Fremlin. Also competing for Team BC in Vegas were Tyler Beselt and Michael Henderson of Shawnigan and Aaron Hersant of Brentwood.
Late lapse costs Cowichan FC victory over Vic West KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Dan Cato scored twice for Cowichan FC last Friday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]
Dan Cato scored twice, once in the 33rd minute and again in extra time, but a last-second defensive lapse forced Cowichan to settle for a tie with Vic West in Vancouver Island Soccer League Div. 1 play at Ladysmith last Friday. “When [Vic West] tied it up, they were pretty excited,” Cowichan head coach Glen Martin admitted. “We felt like we’d just lost the game, but they felt like
they had won it.” Cowichan FC will visit eighthplace Gorge at Hampton Park Friday night. In Div. 2, a Cowichan United squad missing several starters lost 3-0 to Nanaimo. The team is now hoping to get healthy enough for the Jackson Cup tournament. “We’ve got the best Jackson Cup draw of our life,” injured player/ coach Neall Rowlings noted. “Now we just need a horse to take us there.”

Annual showcase game goes to surging Shawnigan senior squad KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
A huge audience, including hundreds of fired-up students from both schools got their first look this year at the hockey rivalry between Shawnigan Lake and Brentwood College schools. Shawnigan, in the early stages of ramping up its hockey program to elite levels, beat Brentwood 10-2. “We played really well,” Shawnigan head coach Kevin Cooper said. “We were very disciplined, and that helped us get the lead and stick with it.” The annual showcase game at Kerry Park Arena marked the first meeting between the teams this year. With the exception of the middle frame, Brentwood head coach Mike Flynn was generally pleased with his team’s performance. “At times we played the way we can play, but the second period was a disaster for us,” he said. “Once you get behind by a number of goals, it’s hard to come back.” Flynn was par ticularly impressed with the way his team kept going in the third period,
despite the sizable deficit. “The kids dug deep and didn’t want to quit,” he said. “That was good to see.” Liam Kennedy, Kieran Furlonger, Cal McMaster and Noah Crumb were among the top offensive performers for Shawnigan, who also got strong netminding from the duo of Merek Pipes and Ethan Schovanek. Both Brentwood goals were scored by firstyear player Tom Hamilton Lane. “Things worked out well for him and his line,” Flynn said. This is Cooper’s first year behind the bench at Shawnigan, where headmaster David Robertson has put a strong commitment into the hockey program, with the goal of competing at a high level and moving players on to college hockey. “We’ve got a pretty exciting time ahead,” Cooper said. “Hockey is the biggest sport in Canada, so why shouldn’t we have a strong program here at Shawnigan?” Both schools are now gearing up for the Ross Cup at the end of February. “By the time of the Ross Cup, we should be in pretty good shape,” Flynn said.

Islanders treasure all-star game experience
BCS/SLS cage rematch a closer affair
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League All-Star Classic, hosted by the Kerry Park Islanders at the Island Savings Centre last Sunday was a hit with players and organizers alike. The North Division team beat the South Division squad, which included three Islanders, 7-5, but the score wasn’t as important as the overall show. Kerry Park’s own Cody Short scored once and was named South Division MVP. Islanders captain Eric Mansueti was thrilled to make his all-star debut in front of a home crowd. “It was really fun, a great experience,” the veteran centre said. “It was pretty cool to do it in my hometown, in my last year of hockey.” Playing on a line with current teammate
Following a 30-plus point win by Brentwood College at home the previous Tuesday, the Mill Bay school and their rivals from Shawnigan Lake played to a much closer result, a 45-41 win for Brentwood, at Shawnigan last Saturday. “Way too tight,” Brentwood coach Blake Gage said. “Shawnigan, as we knew they would be, were a lot better Saturday. They were a lot tougher and they beat us on the offensive glass.” A far cry from the previous meeting, the game was tied going into the fourth quarter. A 9-0 run gave Brentwood enough of a lead to hold onto through the final buzzer. Devin Cvitanovich ended up as Brentwood’s leading scorer with 12 points. “We were definitely lucky to win that game,” Gage said. Shawnigan coach Vito Pasquale’s team was decimated by injuries going into the first game, but managed to adjust for the rematch. “We had a chance to win it,” he said. “We rebounded well. If we had rebounded well in the first game, it might not have been a 35-point loss.” The South Island AA tournament — which Brentwood will host — and the Island finals are looming for both schools, who hope to make improvements after their recent games. “What really matters is how we play three weeks from now,” Gage said. “This team is good at taking those lessons and moving forward with them. Hopefully that will help us get better.” Brentwood is ranked third on the Island despite mixed results this season after losing some big contributors last year. “We’ll be happy to make Islands,” he said. “If we get off the Island, that will be a terrific accomplishment for this team.” Shawnigan, meanwhile, will get two key

Also in the game was steady Islanders defenceman Colton Burt, another player Mansueti was honoured to join on the ice. “He’s a good buddy of mine, too,” the captain said. “It was fun to go and hang out with him. We’re the only 20-year-olds on the Islanders, so it was nice to share it with him.”

bench players back from the Vegas Sevens rugby tournament, and hopes to get one injured starter back. Pasquale is trying to reassess his roster before South Islands. “The team is totally different from what we had before Christmas,” he said. “To me it feels like I’m in the first week of December. I think in two weeks we can manage to get an idea of what kind of team we can be in South Islands, and we might pull off a surprise.” Brentwood will host the Countdown to Playoffs Tournament this Friday and Saturday, featuring 16 teams, including themselves and Shawnigan. It starts on Friday morning with Brentwood taking on G.W. Graham at 10:30 a.m. “It should be a good one,” Gage said. “We’ve got a lot of the top teams from all over the province.”

Junior and senior T-Birds facing big tests KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Noah Charles had 18 points and nine rebounds for Cowichan Secondary’s junior boys basketball team in a 53-32 win over Brentwood College, just another huge contribution from the high-flying player. “In our team’s success this year, a big part has been Noah’s rebounding,” head coach Lucky Walia said, pointing out that Charles had 87 rebounds in six tournament games in January against some of the top junior teams in the province. Eston Unrau added 11 points in the game against Brentwood, including a trio of three-pointers, and Connor Hayer sank two
from outside the arc. The T-Birds are hosting the 2014 Thunderbird Classic Tournament this weekend, beginning at 3 p.m. on Friday when Cowichan meets St. Michael’s University School. Games continue throughout Friday and Saturday until the final at 5 p.m. Cow High’s senior boys collected a 6756 win over Dover Bay in Nanaimo last Thursday, which head coach Sandeep Heer acknowledged was a huge victory. “Going to North Islands, you always have to go through Dover Bay,” he said. The senior T-Birds are heading to Surrey this weekend to face Tamanawis, the second-ranked AAAA team in B.C.

Queen of Angels School wrestlers took first place in the junior boys division and second in the junior girls division at the Campbell River Invitational last weekend. “That’s the first time the boys have won an away tournament,” said Nick Zuback, the head coach at Q of A and the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club. “It’s pretty impressive.” Q of A’s Quinn Smith won the junior boys 45kg class, and Jordan Atcheson topped the 78kg class. Other top-three finishes included Talon Hird in second
54kg. Sarah Gillard of Cobble Hill was second at 40kg, and Hannah Tuplin of Chemainus was second at 51kg. Many of the junior wrestlers are in just their first or second years of competition, Zuback noted. “They’re definitely up-and-comers,” he said. “All of the junior kids will be ones to watch.” Among the senior boys wrestlers, Jimmy Wyld of Cowichan Secondary placed third at 57kg, and Nick George of Q of A was third at 60kg. In the girls division, Q of A’s Andrea Morris was second at 51kg, and Olive Kiruiro of Kelsey was first in the heavyweight class.

Chairs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in for new shelves LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
How could anyone be a crabby customer sitting on this clever chair, only one of the unique seats painted at the special fundraiser.? [SUBMITTED]
Talk about a unique fundraiser! Inspire Shawnigan, a group of folks that seem to get a lot of mileage out of every idea, recently teamed up with a local business, Village Chippery, for a paint-in. It took two days and plenty of inspiration as well as effort but the result was special indeed. Inspireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership coordinator Rebecca Barnard said that the Chairs for the Chippery project was a good way to raise the profile of her group as well as earn some money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get awareness of Inspire out there. I walked around the village recently talk-

making project.â&#x20AC;? So, where does the restaurant come in? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chippery paid us $20 per chair to paint their chairs. We had 22 chairs from them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then each person does their own thing, as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not religious or political and in the colours she chose: red, white, black, grey and a touch of silver.â&#x20AC;? Barnard liked the novelty factor behind the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She will have a very interesting restaurant and I think people will start popping in to see which chairs are in. She can only fit half of them in at one time.â&#x20AC;? There will be a revolving gallery of chairs.

The aim for the building, at 1760 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd., is to provide a place where creativity, art, culture and heritage meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to be able to sell local artisansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work from there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a combination of that plus a workspace where you can take classes or give classes. Also, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a meeting space. So, in order to be able to show and sell something we have to have shelves. And we had no shelves and no money to buy shelves. The paint-in was actually a money-
