Volunteer firefighters from the South End and Duncan halls battled a blaze that destroyed a home on Khowutzun Crescent on Tuesday afternoon. No one South SouthCowichan CowichanEcho EchoBanner BannerAdAd10.5x2.pdf 10.5x2.pdf 1 1 03-24-15 03-24-15 1:15 1:15PMPM [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] was home when the fire started and the cause is yet to be determined.

The cause of a fire that destroyed a home on Khowutzun Crescent on Tuesday afternoon hasn’t yet been determined, but early indications offer no reason to think that the blaze was intentional. “Our investigation so far, in conjunction with the fire department, leads us to believe that the fire is not suspicious in nature,” North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Chris Swain said. Firefighters and police were called to the home around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and the house was engulfed in flames by the time they arrived. Firefighters moved quickly, but the roof and walls of the south half of the home sustained massive damage. Smoke from the fire could be seen from several blocks away. There were also concerns that lines supplying electricity to the home may have caught fire, and BC Hydro crews were dispatched to cut power to the home.

Directors disagree over new cell tower

CVRD board suspends commission activities

ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Regional District is opposing the construction of a cell tower at 1345 Fisher Rd. in Cobble Hill. Roger Communications has proposed the tower, which has to be approved by Industry Canada. The board was not unanimous in opposition to the project, however, with some arguing that the tower would improve safety in an area filled with dead zones, as well as enable businesses to function better. Lori Iannidinardo led the charge in favour of the tower’s construction. “There are dead zones,” she said. “I really feel this is a benefit to everyone in the community.” She described a situation faced by a local winery where visitors cannot phone them from the gate to be let onto the property because there is no cell signal. But first and foremost it’s about safety on the highway and other roads, Iannidinardo argued. They heard from former North Cowichan councillor Ruth Hartmann who was in a very serious car accident near Duggan Lake, Iannidinardo said. She was stuck hanging upside down in the vehicle for a considerable time, unable to call for help because of lack of cell service in the area, Iannidinardo recounted. “I’d look at this as a public safety issue,” Dir. Rob Douglas said, unhappy that he was unable to vote on the topic, as, since it is a land use issue, it was only voted upon by electoral area directors and he represents the Municipality of North Cowichan. Dir. Matteus Clement of Cobble Hill gave the opposing argument, saying that the tower’s proximity to a school was a

The Cowichan Valley Regional District board voted Wednesday night to suspend operations of the Economic Development Commission. The vote comes in support of a staff recommendation. General manager Ross Blackwell explained that six of the appointments to the commission expired at the end of June, and three were empty due to resignations, leaving the commission with just two functional members. It would be premature to continue operations he said, as the board is in the process of a complete overhaul of the economic development function. Following the retirement of former economic development function manager Geoff Millar in 2014, the CVRD board hired a consultant to examine the function and the commission, as there were misgivings about how it was working and what outcomes were being achieved. Consultant Jerry Berry of JB Consultants Inc., delivered a scathing report to the CVRD board in February, detailing significant dysfunctions and recommending big changes take place.

Lori Iannidinardo, CVRD director concern in the community, but so was the quality of the presentation by Rogers Communications. Rogers came to the area twice to present, and did not address any of the community concerns in their second presentation, Clement said. “I don’t feel that they were genuine in presenting all of the actual options,” he said, only the cheapest. They didn’t, for example, talk about the possibility of microcell towers, Clement said. Directors Klaus Kuhn, Ian Morrison, Mel Dorey and Iannidinardo voted against the electoral area directors’ position opposing the tower, but were outvoted.

The future direction and structure of the economic development function has not yet been determined by the board. The Economic Development Commission had separately come to four different recommendations, which were also put before the board Wednesday night. They were to repopulate the staff complement for the economic development function as quickly as possible, that the commission likewise be repopulated and operationalized as quickly as possible, that consideration be given to broadening the representation on the commission and that priority be given to resolving the function to support the long term livability of the region. The board chose to follow the staff recommendation instead.

Honeymoon Bay looks to new water source

Ian Morrison, CVRD director That process is a means of authorization to increase fees and borrow money on behalf of the community to complete this half million dollar project: developing the well, tying it in, connecting the pipes in the ground to the existing treatment facility and water tank. Various options were presented to residents in June. “The community decided to poll themselves, to get the homeowners within the system to sign the petition,” which will then go to the CVRD. “It’s not a CVRD-led initiative, it’s a community-led initiative. It’s one of the tools available under the Local Government Act for elector consent,” he said. Morrison said he’s pleased to see some highly motivated Honeymoon Bay residents willing to do the leg work. “I would suggest that a good portion of the community water users would like to ensure that they’ve got a consistent and reliable water source into the future,” he said. Morrison said that Area G went through a similar petition process for a water system upgrade project and although that project was on a much larger scale, it followed the same petition procedure successfully. “What we’re talking about is around $12-$13 a month per property; in the range of $150 per year.”

Coroner identifies crash victim

Honeymoon Bay, like every other area, has been watching water levels all this year. Morrison said that Ashburnham Creek is normally still flowing into Cowichan Lake at Lily Beach at the end of June. “This year, Ashburnham Creek had gone subsurface from the shore on March 13,” he said, arguing it’s time to re-assess the idea of The Wet Coast. “We need water to survive. But we’ve got into the habit of thinking it’s literally falling from the sky.” However, when the entire Cowichan watershed is considered as a whole, the picture changes, he said. “We have about five metres of annual rainfall at Lake Cowichan; it’s less than a metre at Cowichan Bay but it’s all one watershed.” Morrison said that it was important that people do their best to conserve water; he’s even had property owners asking if they should drill wells. “I think that we as a community, if we petition the CVRD to make these improvements, it will secure a supply. “ But residents still had one more vital question. “They asked me: ‘Does that mean we’ll never have Stage 3 watering restrictions again?’ On the basis of local conditions we should never have to go beyond Stage 2 restrictions. However, today, the entire region is implementing Stage 3 on the basis of drought conditions. I can’t ever say that won’t happen. We’re all in the same watershed.” Morrison said he sees it as a good solution with little effect on water rates. “I believe the Honeymoon Bay system would go from being the fifth cheapest out of 18 water systems in the CVRD operates to the sixth cheapest. It doesn’t change our ranking significantly. It’s not considered to be a big increase,” he said. 6969019

Honeymoon Bay property owners will be taking to the road soon in an attempt to convince their neighbours to buy into a new well that would secure a reliable source of water for the west Cowichan community. Dir. Ian Morrison said he and the Cowichan Valley Regional District have been working towards that end, after the area had a problem in 2014. “We got into a pickle last year. We weren’t able to maintain fire flows over a few days. But it was later in the year, more August or September,” he said. Morrison and his daughter stopped cars last summer to conduct a successful information campaign about the need for conservation. But last year’s crisis led to action, he said. “Because of that we had a community meeting where we discussed metering and the like. In addition, the engineering staff at the CVRD along with me and a few others acknowledged that we have a water supply issue. For 360 days out of the year we’re probably in okay shape. But, residents, myself included, are frustrated at having to go to Stage 3 watering restrictions, especially this early,” he said. Practical work started. The CVRD contacted a well driller. “They drilled three test holes and they found a gusher. That’s fantastic news. We’ve got a really productive well with high, high quality water. It’s in the range of 240 imperial gallons per minute.” Morrison held a public meeting on June 20 to talk about that find. Results from a survey gave a “very strong indication” that residents favour moving forward. A Community Petition Process will soon be getting underway.

OUR VIEW

This is a horrible deal for British Columbians

kay, so I want my taxes frozen for 25 years. And let’s negotiate a significantly reduced rate before we bring that into effect, shall we? How do you think your local government — or the provincial or federal governments for that matter — would feel about a proposal of that ilk? Yeah, us too. We get it. Liquid Natural Gas development was a big election promise for Christy Clark and the Liberals. She’s taken a beating for not being able to move LNG nego-

tiations along at more than a snail’s pace until now. But we don’t think this is what anyone envisioned when they thought about the potential of this industry and heard the virtues extolled as if we were all going to be rolling in royalties that would set up B.C. for decades to come. Instead we’re being presented with decades of corporations sitting pretty while ordinary taxpayers stare down the bore of rising rates for everything under the sun. Where are our two-and-a-half decade tax freezes?

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

They’re not immune under the deal from provincial sales or regular corporate tax raises, but freezes in so many other areas promise huge losses for the public to benefit corporations that don’t need our help. The province says it will provide the company in question with the certainty it needs to go forward. Who gets certainty these days? The ordinary Joe doesn’t get promises that his job is going to be around for the next 25 years, why is a corporation a special case? We could just about stomach

some of this if it went with promises of long-term, well-paying jobs for people in this province, and a plan to put some of the revenue into development of renewable and truly clean energy sources. Though even then we firmly believe that corporations such as these which are more than capable of doing so while maintaining huge profits, should pay their fair share. But there are no such promises on the table. Oh sure, they say the project will create up to 4,500 jobs (which in the grand scheme of things isn’t really that many

Man with dog should do the right thing What a shame the male couldn’t man up and be the type of man he might want his kid to be proud of, to give his name and to help out. His big, young off-leash dog attacked the Gallants’ little wee dog, Coco, July 4. He wouldn’t give his name nor help out, he wouldn’t take responsibility and claimed that somehow it was okay because his dog was still a puppy. Well Coco, a miniature yorkie, is now injured and maybe worse. The Gallants are devastated but determined to keep looking until there is some word of their dog, Coco. Folks, keep an eye on your dog

at all times. Dog owners do the right thing and keep an eye on your dog at all times. This happened because of the owner, not because of the dog. This type of situation can be avoided. Maybe the male involved will do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Pamela Braun Cowichan

Duncan employees working regular shift Re: Eliminate City of Duncan overtime Unbelievable but true! Really Joe, if you spent as much time researching your topics as you do complaining, you could actually be a smart man.

The City of Duncan employees you see on weekends are just on their normal five day shift and nobody is receiving any overtime pay. These students are working through their weekends and receiving their regular rate of pay. As was suggested once before, if you have so much time on your hands to complain about everything, maybe you should look at volunteering your time somewhere where it would be appreciated. And maybe next time you see one of these students working on the weekend, you could thank him or her for keeping your city green and beautiful. Sue Williams Sahtlam

I have been reading the articles written by members of the CVRD Economic Development Committee Mr. Douglas and Mr. Hart. I agree that small business produces more jobs, pound for pound and that co-ops are good (although the Federated Co-op refinery in Regina is apparently well in contravention of emission standards), and local investment funds are good provided no taxation is involved. No mention of very burdensome regulation and tax collection duties for small business by Ottawa and Victoria, but this is a local opinion. I do get nervous about government raising taxes to fund suitable businesses. I was however surprised that the articles were totally devoid of any steps of appreciation by local government towards small business. Would not reduced taxes encourage small business? Why not mention the business licence fee? Why do you have to pay a fee to employ people in a small business? Why are small business premises taxed at six times the rate of residences? Would these tax reductions not help small business? What does the Centre for Policy Alternatives think? The Pembina Institute? The Simon Fraser University School of Public Policy? And how about using the $500,000 a year spent on the CVRD Economic Development meetings as a general tax reduction for people to spend on local organic food? G.

Has science proven humans causing change? In reference to your July 1 editorial I would like to offer a few comments. As a geologist I am well aware of climate change; some sections of the earth were bound in ice ages even as late as early detectable human activity. Water was locked up in ice and ocean levels were much lower than we see today. Europe experienced a mini ice age in medieval times. There is no doubt that climate continues to evolve and I am glad that our section of the world is warming rather than cooling. What about influence of the human activity? You point to the undeniable increase in population and changes that we are making to the planet. We can all observe the resulting pollution of the air and water. However your editorial does not cite scientific evidence to link our activities to climate change. Indeed there are many scientists, including the Danish professor and researcher Bjorn Lomborg (one of “The 10 Most-Respected Global Warming Skeptics”) that postulate that sunspots and solar winds play a significant role in climate change. All things considered, has the scientific community proven beyond a reasonable doubt that human activity is the substantial cause of climate change?

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

Opinion

| Cowichan Valley Citizen

Operators politely breaking the law Pat Hoskins correctly pointed out that the OHV operators in my picture had politely pulled over and stopped when they encountered pedestrians, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, they were breaking the law at the time, as both OHVs and licensed motor vehicles are illegal on the Cowichan Valley Trail, even if their operators are being polite. This sign is at the entrance to the trail, about 300 metres from where the other picture was taken.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY DISPOSITION PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 26(3) of the Community Charter that the City of Duncan intends to dispose of an interest in its land located at the Northerly 5 feet of 820 Wharncliffe Road. Description of Land: Northerly 5 feet of Lot 1, Sections 15 and 16, Range 7, Quamichan District, Plan 23647. Entity Acquiring the Property: Cynthia (Margot) Izard Nature of Disposition: Five (5) year lease.

John Scull Duncan

Consideration Received by the City: Yearly rent for the Five (5) year term is: $50.00 on July 1, 2015; $55.00 on July 1, 2016; $60.00 on July 1, 2017; $65.00 on July 1, 2018; $70.00 on July 1, 2019. Please direct any enquiries to Tricia Mayea, Corporate Services Coordinator, 200 Craig Street, Duncan, BC V9L 1W3, or by email to: tricia@duncan.ca 7064498

ORVs illegal on trails

The bottom line is, motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trail. [JOHN SCULL PHOTO]

Pat Hoskin’s letter to the editor attempting to shame Mr. Scull for making a big deal of off-roaders on local trails missed the most salient point — off-roaders are

banned from most local trails and signs forbidding motorized vehicles are clearly posted all along the Trans Canada trail. Shame on Hoskins for trying to justify an illegal activity and shaming the whistle blower based on a photograph which clearly shows the off roaders in an illegal activity, considerate or not. P. Vogan Lake Cowichan

Operators breaking the law, considerately Regarding the illegal vehicles on our Valley pathways, I had a good chuckle because Pat Hoskins chooses to ignore the fact that motorized vehicles are banned. The riders, many of them too young to drive a car, are breaking the law while being considerate or not. Lisa Douglas Cowichan

STAGE 3 WATERING RESTRICTIONS ARE NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE COWICHAN VALLEY Parksville’s Premiere Event on the Beach!

All local governments in the Cowichan Valley are now on Stage 3 watering restrictions. During Stage 3, the following restrictions apply: 

Sprinkling of lawns is not permitted.



No person is permitted to wash cars or boats (note: car washes recycle and reuse the same water to operate their businesses so those wishing to have their vehicle or boat washed can utilize commercial car washes).



Washing of driveways, sidewalks, or houses is not permitted unless preparing surfaces for painting/preservatives or to prepare the surface for pouring concrete or asphalt.



No person is permitted to fill swimming pools or hot tubs except to replace evaporated water or water lost from general use of the pool or tub.



No use of fountains or ponds is permitted unless using re‐circulated water.



Limited watering of school and municipal playing fields. Although there will be a reduction in the amount of watering in these areas, some irrigation of community infrastructure is necessary to maintain these assets to avoid high replacement costs as they do not bounce back in the fall like residential lawns will.

July 10 - August 16, 2015 9am-9pm Gates Open July 10 @ 2pm

SUMMER CONCERTS Every Friday & Saturday July 17 - August 15 6:30pm-8:30pm

Hand watering of gardens, trees, and shrubs with a hose with a spring‐loaded nozzle, watering bucket, or pail is still allowed to a maximum of 2 hours per day either between 6:00 am and 8:00 am or 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm. Those with micro‐drip irrigation systems may continue to water their gardens, trees or shrubs any time to a maximum of 4 hours per day as these systems are designed to deliver water to the root of the plant and use less than 20 gallons per hour at less than 25 psi.

ART IN THE PARK: July 18 & 19 10am-4pm

Commercial enterprises which require water to facilitate normal business activities such as power washing companies or window washing companies continue to be permitted, unless ordered otherwise, but are expected to conserve as much water as possible without resulting in a loss of business. This is not an exhaustive list so residents and businesses are encouraged to visit the following local government websites for more comprehensive details.

Frances Kelsey named to Order of Canada LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Kelsey’s main claim to fame comes from her actions in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration where she refused to approve the use of thalidomide, which was being used in Europe and in Canada to help pregnant women with morning sickness. Tragically, the drug caused the birth of a number of children with deformities such as short, flipper-like arms, but families in the United States were spared this horror because Kelsey stood firm against significant outside pressure. Crowder was also delighted to see Kelsey named to the Order of Canada. “It is good news. I did write a letter in support of the nomination. I’m really pleased to see she’s been recognized while she’s still alive, “ she said. She’s 100 years old now, so the window of opportunity could be closing. “Kelly Black had done a tremendous lot of work on getting Frances Kelsey recognized. She’s been recognized in the States for a number of years for her good work. It’s about time Canada recognized her as well.” Crowder agreed with Black that Kelsey had really slipped under the radar in her native land. “The naming of Frances Kelsey Secondary School was a way of recognizing the work she had done. She was born in Cobble Hill. But that recognition wasn’t nearly enough. She saved thousands of children from being affected by thalidomide by the work she did,” she said. 7067517

The Cowichan Valley’s most famous scientist, Frances Oldham Kelsey, was appointed as a Member of the Order of Canada by Governor General David Johnston on July 1. Kelsey’s international renown arose because she blew the whistle on the drug thalidomide, but it’s not the only reason she’s received the Canadian recognition. According to the Order of Canada listing, her award comes “for her efforts to protect public health, notably by helping to end the use of thalidomide, and for her contributions to clinical drug trial regulations.” Kelsey, who now lives in London, Ontario, is 100 years old. While the scientist has been honoured in the Valley by having a high school named after her, wider Canadian recognition has been slow in coming and businessman Kelly Black is one of those who wanted to see it happen during her lifetime. With the help of Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Jean Crowder, he organized a petition earlier this year for that exact purpose and said Thursday that he was thrilled to see her made a Member of the Order of Canada. “I was absolutely delighted. It was phenomenal.” Black said he thought his petition could have played a part in her choice for the honour. “Raising the profile of Dr. Kelsey on a level outside of the Cowichan Valley certainly helped. And seeing her appointment to the Order of Canada,

I couldn’t be happier. I think the increased awareness of Dr. Kelsey’s work in the Cowichan Valley and at a national level because of the compensation provided to thalidomide victims certainly helped.” He agreed that Kelsey shone a light where it needed to be shone. “Her recognition on a national level is about 60 years overdue but it’s better late than never. I guess I would add that I hope the Order of Canada is only the first of many other awards and nominations that are due to Dr. Kelsey in Canada.” Black began his campaign after the Department of Canadian Heritage released a survey last spring that included the question: Which Canadians have inspired you the most over the last 150 years? From the answers, a list of Canada’s top 10 heroes was put together. “The list was entirely male; there wasn’t a single female on that list,” said Black. “I felt that was a bit ridiculous.” When he considered women of significance in Canadian history, as a student of Frances Kelsey Secondary School in Mill Bay from 1998 to 2002, the school’s namesake was the first person that came to mind. Kelsey was born in Cobble Hill in 1914. She received a BSc and an MSc in pharmacology in Canada, then went to the U.S. where she got her PhD and M.D. degrees. She began work with the American Food and Drug Administration in 1960.

to Cathedral Park Lodge following a day hike the previous Monday.

Explosives on Rotary trail Police entered into an investigation of found explosives on Tuesday night, July 7. A pedestrian had located a partial stick of dynamite and two blasting caps on the Rotary Trail between 19th street and 17th street in Courtenay. The area was searched by an explosive search dog but nothing further was located. This incident could have had far different results had the explosive been activated. RCMP are asking the public for any information into the origin of the explosives or who is responsible for leaving them in an unsecured public area. The RCMP are also warning the public that if you come upon what you believe to be an explosive, do not disturb it. Call police right away and make sure no one else goes near the item. If you have any information in regards to this report please contact the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.

SAR involved in three operations this past weekend Members of Comox Valley Ground SAR were running flat out responding to two local operations, two significant training events in the mountains and leading the successful search effort for two missing Ontario hikers in Cathedral Lakes Provincial Park near Keremos, B.C. In the midst of training two emergency calls were received. The first to assist BC Ambulance Service in the evacuation of a mountain biker found unresponsive on a trail in the Cumberland area. CVGSAR, Cumberland Fire Dept. and BCAS worked together to evacuate the seriously injured biker who was then transferred via air ambulance to Victoria. The second call was to locate an overdue hiker who had failed to return after a hike on the Comox Glacier. A CVGSAR team located the man in the early morning and reunited him with his worried family. To cap off the weekend, CVGSAR command staff were flown into Keremos at the request of Emergency Management BC to provide support to teams in the Central region of the Province who were involved in a large scale search for two missing Ontario residents, Lynn Carmody and Richard Moynan, who had failed to return

Mountain fire threatens homes The wildfire consuming Dog Mountain at Sproat Lake doubled in size overnight Tuesday. Now at an estimated 96 hectares, the fire continues to burn aggressively. On Sunday, the fire spread down the face of the mountain, jeopardizing cabins located near the water. The RCMP assisted those with boat-only access after an evacuation notice was issued. One unoccupied cabin was destroyed by fire. According to Donna MacPherson, fire information officer at the Coastal Fire Centre, a crew of 21 and three helicopters continue efforts to contain the blaze. On Monday, structure protection units, including sprinkler systems, were established for hillside cabins bordering the lake. MacPherson said the area is hazardous with falling debris.

Conservation officer suspended for saving bear cubs Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant has been suspended without pay pending a performance investigation after he refused to put down two bear cubs this weekend. The baby bears, a brother and sister, were orphaned after their mother was put down after she had, at least twice, broken into a freezer of salmon and deer meat inside a mobile home on Hardy Bay Road. The babies were estimated to be about eight weeks and weigh 20 to 25 pounds, are healthy and still nursing. Casavant made the decision to transport the bears down Island to the North Island Wildlife Recovery Association facility in Errington, as per provincial policy regarding bear cubs, despite an order that they be destroyed. “I think it is important for the community to know that I am here to do the right thing,” said Casavant. The controversy occurred after the Ministry of Environment received conflicting reports, one that said the cubs were eating garbage and another which said that was not the case. Gordon Hitchcock of the Conservation Officer Service said they don’t discuss personnel matters publicly. Black Press

Military vehicle convoy attracts Duncan crowd LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Legion members Joe Kuzyk, left, and Don Langer are dressed in their best to welcome the cavalcade of beatifully restored historical military vehicles. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

A convoy of historical military vehicles passed through Duncan on Tuesday, stopping at the BC Forest Discovery Centre parking lot to delight an excited crowd. Presented by the Western Command Military Vehicle Society, the idea of the event was to raise awareness of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are glad to be able to honour them this way,â&#x20AC;? said convoy coordinator John Hawthorne of the 12-vehicle cavalcade, which represented the years 1941-1990.

The convoy travelled from Ucluelet, Tofino, Port Alberni and Bowser south through Parksville, Nanaimo and Duncan before hitting Victoria and finally Sidney. Hawthorne said they stopped along the way at some Legion halls as well. They rolled right past the Forest Discovery Centre on the Trans-Canada Highway at first, but made a quick recovery, doubling back and appearing by way of Drinkwater Road to a warm reception. The Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcoming party included a group of local veterans but also drew plenty of folks who just love old vehicles.

han Valley: A Walking Tour of Downtown Duncan provides a brief description of each site on the route, archival images, and a map. The book, available in the museum’s gift shop for $9.95, is a fundraiser for the Cowichan Valley Museum & Archives. The book features stories about Duncan’s pioneer businesses such as the R. Ventress Chemist and Druggist, whose shop occupied the site that is now Station Street Park. In 1900, Ventress was the first druggist in Duncan and for many years was the only drugstore between Victoria and Nanaimo. In addition to being a vital source for professional medical assistance and supplies, Ventress’s store also had the first telephone in the district. Medical emergencies at the nearby Mt. Sicker copper mines necessitated a long-distance telephone connection to the drugstore. Later, the Cecil Café, a popular diner, operated from this site. Take a walk through Duncan’s past with Historic Heart of the Cowichan Valley: A Walking Tour of Downtown Duncan as your guide. It’s a great way to explore the city and learn about the historically significant buildings and sites of the City.

he internet has thousands of testimonials for health products. These testimonials are often phoney. You’ll find a person saying how they were skeptical about the product at one time and now are believers and they do that for many products. Save your money! How can you prevent Alzheimers? Good scientific studies have shown that if a person is bilingual, has normal blood pressure and does daily exercise for 30 to 40 minutes, the risk of getting Alzheimers is significantly reduced.

Don’t choose sunglasses based on the darkness of the lens. Look for “no less than 99% UV protection” on the label. Wearing good eye protection during the summer will protect against suninduced macular degeneration and cataracts. With all the talk about vitamin D during the past couple of years, it’s understandable to be a little confused over how much we need each day. It used to be that 400 IU daily was the right amount. Now, doses of 2000 IU to 4000 IU are being recommended and some sources say as much as 8000 IU is the answer. The right answer is probably in the 2000 IU range. What is known is that people that are overweight should take a little more. If you have questions about vitamin D or any other vitamin, our pharmacists can give you the answers. 7045284

Enjoy free movie on big inflatable screen with Sunset Cinema show Watch a movie out under the stars this summer when Coastal Community’s Sunset Cinema comes to the Cowichan Sportsplex in Duncan Friday, July 17 with a showing of Big Hero 6. Now in its fifth year, Sunset Cinema offers free showings in communities up and down Vancouver Island on their inflatable screen. “The great thing about our outdoor movie nights is there isn’t a bad seat in the house, as all films are being shown on a massive, three-storeyhigh inflatable screen,” said Allyson Prescesky, manager of Community Experience and Communications with Coastal Community. If you love popcorn, cotton candy or pop with your movie, Coastal Community has you covered. Each venue will host a concession stand, manned by Coastal Community employee volunteers, with all proceeds helping support the credit union’s Young Entrepreneur Program. Young Entrepreneurs is an educational, schoolbased program designed to help students explore the world of business, while developing valuable life and financial skills. And to help make your concession stand purchase even easier, VanGo — Coastal Community’s ATM on wheels — will be on site at most events. “Showtime’s at dark, but come early because we have Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society on site with their Science Van to entertain kids of all ages until the movie starts,” added Prescesky. Those interested are also encouraged to go to Coastal Community’s Facebook events page and RSVP to Sunset Cinema for a chance to win a prize.

The Cowichan Lake Community Garden will be offering three more free gardening workshops this summer. The workshops are run by the Cowichan Green Community with funding from Island Health. The first workshop, Water Conservation Gardening, will be Saturday, July 18, 9 a.m.-11 a.m. Participants will learn gardening techniques that will help conserve water and reduce the amount of watering needed. “We will build simple natural terraces to catch water and make a ‘hugelkultur’ bed, which uses woody debris buried into the ground to hold huge amounts of water,” said Cowichan Green Community’s Erin Ward. “We will also take a tour of the garden and demonstrate good mulching methods and materials, drought resistant plants and watering techniques.” The second workshop, Therapeutic Gardening for Everyone, will be Saturday, Aug. 1, 9 a.m.11 a.m. Christine Pollard will instruct this course and share her knowledge from over 25 years of practising horticultural therapy. “This workshop will explore some of the motivation behind the creation of our Cowichan Lake Community Garden, as gardening has proven to have a huge array of health benefits,” Ward said. “Find out how therapeutic gardening can specifically improve our physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual selves.” The third workshop, Edible Garden Plant Identification Tour, will be Saturday, Aug. 15, 9 a.m.11 a.m. This workshop will launch participants

into the world of plants while learning how to identify species and touring the garden. Participants will practice getting an eye for botanical features that will improve their plant and ecological garden knowledge. All workshops are held at the Cowichan Lake Community Garden, across from the baseball fields of the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena, 311 South Shore Rd. No registration required. For more information contact Erin Ward at the Cowichan Green Community, 250-748-8506 or email erin@cowichangreencommunity.org. The Cowichan Lake Community Garden also holds weekly volunteering opportunities to plant and grow food and flowers in the shared gardens. No gardening experience necessary. For more information contact Cara at 250-749-4296 or email Smithcara50@gmail.com.

[KEVIN JF MARTIN PHOTO] prospecting ventures, so it was back to family responsibilities as coal miner-farmer-father before beginning a new career as hotelier. For the grand sum (as indeed it was back then) of $8,000 the Fiddicks built Nanaimo’s first “fire-proof” brick hotel. At the corner of Selby and Fitzwilliam Streets, then touted as the “healthiest portion of the city,” the Occidental’s there today, a third storey having been added over the years. When Sam died in January 1900 (only three years before, at age 65, he’d participated in the Klondike gold rush), his funeral was well-attended; among his pall-bearers were his old friends John Bryant and Mayor Mark Bate. Widow Elizabeth survived him for a further 28 years. The Occidental having been sold long before this, Mrs. Fiddick invested in war bonds and mortgages and contributed to construction of Nanaimo’s

Socialists Hall, for which she was given the honour of laying the cornerstone. For besting James Dunsmuir in a battle of wills, she won local immortality! Seven children survived her passing at the age of 84, three — both Samuels and the first Christopher — having died in childhood. Most of them continued to live in Cedar and Cranberry districts. Daughters Alice and Elizabeth married and moved away, Adoris remaining in Nanaimo. As of 1975, Walter John Meyer, great-great-grandson, noted in a family history filed with the Nanaimo Community Archives, there were 296 living descendants of Sam and Elizabeth Fiddick, 61 of whom lived in the Nanaimo area, the rest throughout B.C. During the 1920s two generations of Fiddicks operated a coal mine on family property at South Wellington. It was, in a sense, second time ’round for

Richard Fiddick and his sons, the mine having previously been operated by Pacific Coast Collieries. The family had had to confirm in court that their Crown grant included mineral rights because it preceded the provincial land grant to the Dunsmuirs’ E&N Railway. Because the Fiddicks and the CPR, owners of the E&N, couldn’t come to terms for a siding, the Fiddicks shipped their coal from their own facilities at Boat Harbour, much of it being mined from directly beneath the railway’s rightof-way (a story in itself). They ceased operations in 1936. In 1900 the E&N inaugurated the Wellington-Fiddick Local to transfer Dunsmuir miners to the Extension mines. So-called Fiddick’s Junction operated for only six years and only the name, an illustrious one in the greater Nanaimo area, survives. www.twpaterson.com

There’s just so, so much to do during Downtown Duncan Days (July 17-18) this year that it’s best to plan on spending most of those days in the city. The streets in the business core will be closed all day Friday, July 17 and Saturday, July 18 for an array of activities. Starting Friday the super-popular sidewalk sales are on all day. Bring your shopping shoes and check out every single display because you never know where your dream item might be waiting. Friday evening, there’s plenty of family fun, too, including the Kids’ Parade at 6 p.m., the Fashion Show at 7 p.m. and a spectacular Light Show at 8:30 p.m. The Friday night finale is an awe-inspiring four-person, 30 minute fire show put on by Vesta Entertainment, which includes various circus props (hula hoops, clubs, staffs, bullwhip and boomstick) all alight (LED lights will be used due to tinder dry conditions). Ana Francisco of the Duncan

Yo-yo champ Harrison Lee will be in town. Business Improvement Area Society, said the group is happy to welcome back an old fave to Friday night after trying moving it to a Sunday. “We’re doing the Kids’ Parade again this year, in its traditional place [from Jubilee along Kenneth to City Hall]. Friday is the best day for it, for sure,” she said. To help youngsters get ready for the Kids’ Parade, there’s a Kids’ Parade Decoration Station to help dress up those bikes, strollers and wagons starting at 4 p.m. Once people are downtown they can enjoy supper in Duncan before taking in that fashion show, which starts at 7 p.m. Later, once the sky starts to darken, the DBIA has special treat at about 8:30 p.m., at Station and Craig Streets. “We’ve contracted with Vesta Entertainment for a special show,” Francisco said. The performance had been scheduled to be a performance featuring fire, but with the current fire hazard in the area, the DBIA has had to react quickly. “Vesta Entertainment, being the professionals that they are, have modified this exciting show using LED lights to create a spectacular spectacle to delight the entire family. You won’t want to miss this show,” said a late posting on the DBIA Facebook page. The light show needs some darkness to be effective so the timing might be altered a little if there’s still too much daylight in the sky. But it will be worth it.

Then, on Saturday, July 18, there’s even more. The sidewalk sales continue all day, but from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. you can also bring the family down to enjoy the Rotary Club pancake breakfast, which has moved from its traditional City Square spot to a new location on Craig Street outside Just Jakes. “We’re relocating the Rotary Pancake Breakfast because we’re going to have a full farmers market this year,” Francisco said. After brekkie, there will be just time to find your favourite places to watch the Grande Parade, which leaves the Island Savings Centre at 11 a.m. And of course, there’s also the lively Farmers’ Market in and around City Square from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Throughout the downtown core, families can also watch jugglers, stilt-walkers and other entertainers from noon to 4 p.m. There’s an Interactive Circus Camp in the Flow Zone where kids can get instruction from Vesta performers on various circus props from noon to 4 p.m. On top of that, national yo-yo champ Harrison Lee will be out and about performing exciting tricks. “Harrison Lee does a lot of amazing tricks. You’ll be watching him and think the string is going to turn into a knot and it never does. He’s great. He’s won a lot of competitions. I found him at the Victoria Buskers Festival. He’ll be roving around because he has portable music but he’ll certainly be on Station Street and on Craig by the Red Balloon,” Francisco said. On top of that, Vesta is bringing along an emcee who’ll be helping to keep everyone on top of what’s going on and where, she said. “He’s going to be walking around to direct people by saying things like: ‘Go down to Jubilee, there’s a yo yo champ there.’” Finally, in the Come & Create at the Art Zone, kids can help build a balloon forest, add their names to the chalk Name Train and make their marks on a community collage all during the day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dave Godfrey at his vineyard, Godfrey Brownell, in 2009. [CITIZEN FILE] of Anansi, after an African spider god, and a trickster to boot, seemed the right thing to do! “And the rest is history. Well, not quite. It all could have ended there if it weren’t for Dave’s ‘go get ’em attitude.’ Dennis recalls Dave’s tremendous energy, and that he was really a force of nature. “He had ‘no fear of jumping off the deep end.’ And so they pushed forward with their first full list in the fall of 1967, which consisted of four titles. The first was a reissue of Kingdom of Absence (they had spelled Anansi with an e instead of an i in the first edition!), followed by The Absolute Smile, a first collection of poetry by George Jonas, and a first collection of short fiction by David Godfrey called Death Goes Better with Coca-Cola, the first work of fiction on Anansi’s first publishing list! “And according to Dennis, it

was Dave’s idea to get in touch with Margaret Atwood to see if she would be willing to have Anansi reissue her Governor General’s Award–winning collection of poetry, The Circle Game, which was the fourth and final book on the list. And Anansi’s first offices in Toronto were housed in the basement of David and his wife Ellen Godfrey’s home at 671 Spadina Avenue, just up the road from our present location.” Godfrey and his wife, also an acclaimed writer, eventually relocated to Victoria where, among many other things, they moved into the field of software development for distance learning, making a significant name for themselves before eventually selling out and retiring to a vineyard in Glenora, where they played a quiet but vital role in making Cowichan into one of Canada’s promising new wine regions.

• Dave Godfrey, known in the Cowichan Valley as the genial owner of Godfrey Brownell Vineyard, was a figure who cast a wide shadow. He died June 21, after a short bout with pancreatic cancer. Himself an author who snagged a Governor-General’s award for his book, The New Ancestors, using his experience as a student working in Africa for background, Godfrey was also a founder of three publishing houses, including the respected House of Anansi and published the work of such authors as Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje, giving what he considered a much-needed plaform to Canadian authors. A special blog post on the House of Anansi website includes a tribute to Godfrey: “In 1967, David Godfrey approached Dennis Lee to talk about his poems while both were teaching at the University of Toronto. Once Dave had read the full collection he was determined to publish them. As Dennis remembers it, Anansi really started life as a ‘one shot’ enterprise the sole purpose of which was to publish Dennis’ collection, Kingdom of Absence. In a recent conversation Dennis told me he ‘admired Dave’s literary judgement’ and felt he couldn’t turn Dave down because he was so enthusiastic. “When they went to print they realized that it would be good to have the name of a publisher on the spine of the book. They spent a couple of hours mulling over a name. Dave had been travelling and teaching in Ghana with CUSO, where he encountered Anansi tales. Naming the press House

Kenneth Christopher Boyd Ken is survived by his son, Kenny (Pauline), daughter Sharon (Rob); grandchildren Shawn (Darcy), Deanna (Trevor); and four great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Florence and his six siblings. Dad was a bomber pilot in WWII. He ran his own logging company and was a raw land developer and businessman. This was Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite poem: Oh the whiskey was spilled on the bar-room floor And the bar was closed for the night. A little grey mouse came out of his hole in the floor, To dance in the pale moonlight. He lapped up the whiskey on the bar-room floor And back on his haunches he sat. And all through the night, you could hear him roar, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring on the goddamn cat!â&#x20AC;? A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 11, 2015 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hall, 2965 Boys Road, Duncan, BC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone with the windâ&#x20AC;?

Bains brings home junior national bronze KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Although she is still eligible to compete at the youth level, because she’s the top hurdler in B.C., Chicago Bains got the call to represent the province at the junior national championships in Edmonton on July 2-5, and came home with a bronze medal in the 100m hurdles. “I knew what place I was going into the meet, but I was definitely surprised,” said Bains, who was ranked fourth in the country among all 100m hurdlers under 19. She would have liked to come home with the gold, but considering the circumstances, she was pleased with bronze. “[First place] was obviously my goal, but I’m really happy with third place,” she said. “There’s always room for improvement.” Over two busy days, Bains ran four races in total, the finals and semifinals for both the 100m and 400m hurdles. She finished second in the 100m semifinals, but the entire field was upended when the eighth-place qualifier surged into second in the final. Bains qualified eighth out of a deep field in the 400m hurdles, and ended up in that same position in the final. “I was four seconds off my personal best, so it wasn’t the best race in the world,” she admitted. “The conditions just weren’t there for me.” Although the runners she was racing against were a little older, and the hurdles are a bit bigger — juniors leap over 33-inch hurdles while the youth height is 30 inches — Bains wasn’t intimidated. “The hurdles are higher, but I knew most of the competition,”

B.C.’s team shows off Shawnigan Chicago Bains displays her bronze medal from the junior nationals.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Jake Virtanen has been a lot of places in his hockey career. The Vancouver Canucks’ firstround draft pick, sixth overall, in 2014, played his junior hockey career with the Western Hockey League’s Calgary Hitmen, and won a gold medal with Canada at the World Junior Championships last January. But he hasn’t forgotten his roots. Along with goalie hopeful Jackson Whistle of Kelowna, Virtanen was one of just two B.C. boys at the Canucks’ Development Camp at Shawnigan Lake School this past week. Virtanen grew up in Abbotsford and had travelled to several tournaments on the Island in his minor hockey days, something he recalled fondly. “It’s been an awesome experience coming here,” he said on Wednesday, the last day the Vancouver prospects were at the school’s new arena. “Not many guys on the team really know about Shawnigan.” Virtanen noted he was looking forward to showing his camp-

she said. “I knew what I was facing.” It is something of a challenge to change hurdle height constantly, but Bains is able to adapt quickly. “I’ve been doing it throughout the year, going from high hurdles to low hurdles,” she said. “I’m getting used to it by now.” This weekend, Bains and several of her Cowichan Valley Athletic Club teammates will head to Nanaimo for the provincial youth team trials. Based on previous years, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to qualify. It’s not a done deal, but Bains knows she’ll still have to be at her best. “I’m not nervous for it. I’m just hoping I have a clean race and get near my personal best.” After winning gold in the 100m hurdles at the Legion Youth National Championships in 2013, Bains took silver in 2014 and will be looking to reclaim top spot on the podium this year.

he said. “It’s been packed every day.” Stan Smyl, a Canucks legend now serving as senior advisor to GM Jim Benning and director of player development, was also impressed with the fan turnout. “It’s called the Vancouver Canucks but it’s the whole province of B.C. that follows the team,” he said. “It’s good for these young guys to experience that. This camp shows the passion of our fans [in the Cowichan Valley]. People are coming out in July to watch them. “This was a great opportunity to come over to Vancouver Island and see what the province of British Columbia has to offer.” Next on Virtanen’s schedule is the national junior team’s camp in Calgary next month, although he’s hoping he can crack the Canucks roster this fall, which would complicate matters with regard to a return to the championships. “There will be a lot of good guys out there pushing for spots,” he said. “My goal is to stick with Vancouver, so it will be their choice if I go or not.”

Rider helps Canada to double bronze in New Orleans Valley View Farms’ own Caiden Varasteh helped Canada collect a pair of bronze medals at the 2015 Saddle Seat Invitational in New Orleans late last month. Varasteh, 14, was the youngest member of the Canadian team, which won bronze medals in both the three-gaited and five-gaited disciplines, while competing against teams from the U.S. and South Africa. “It was a really good experience to be able to go there,” Varasteh said. “It was nice being around so many amazing riders from America and South Africa. I met a lot of great people and had a great time.” Unlike in many other horse competitions, riders didn’t take their own mounts to New Orleans, but were assigned horses in advance of each round. Each rider rode two different horses in each of the two disciplines, and they were limited to a 15-minute warmup to get to know the horses they were riding. Sometimes, they switched horses if the one they were assigned was better suited to a teammate, making things even more challenging. “In the end, sometimes you just got a few minutes. I ended up getting a good bunch of horses. I had a bit of trouble in the warmup, but once you get in the ring, you figure everything out. You kind of have to.” The two disciplines refer to the number of paces a horse is expected to ride in a competition. In three-gaited, that means walk, trot, canter, and in five-gaited it means walk, trot, canter, slow gait and rack. While the American and South African teams had enough riders in the competi-

tion that they each could specialize in one discipline, the five Canadian riders all competed in both disciplines. Having the opportunity to ride unfamiliar horses also led to the best part of the competition for Varasteh. “The highlight for me was my first three-gaited horse,” she said. “He was so beautiful and high-powered.” The rest of the Canadian team was completely supportive of Varasteh, who was pleased with her contributions to the bronze-medal efforts. “I feel I did well for not having been in a lot of horse shows,” she said. “Just riding there was a big step for me. It was pretty cool getting to be there and being able to represent my country.” Varasteh is now making a push for the Canadian team in the 2016 World Cup in South Africa. Hopefuls are currently submitting videos to the selection committee. If they are successful at that stage, they will be invited to a ride-off in Edmonton in September. Varasteh believes she has a good chance to make the World Cup squad. The same three countries, and possibly more, such as Great Britain, Sweden or Namibia, are expected to compete at the World Cup, but on a different scale. “It’s a bigger competition,” Varasteh said. “There are more riders on all the teams.” Closer to home, Varasteh won the breed high point award for American saddlebred at the Island Invitational Horse Show, hosted by Valley View Farms at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds last weekend. She also expressed thanks to her sponsor, SB Windows and Doors, for financial support that helped her get to New Orleans.

From bowling while seated in a chair to bowling with their eyes closed, participants in the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club’s Canada Day Jitney had to overcome a number of challenges over several rounds of play. Club mainstay Ross Bulley created the rules, and 46 members, all dressed in red and white, took part in the annual event. The Canada Day Jitney is one of many tournaments hosted by the club over the course of the summer, including one- and two-day events, and singles, pairs, triples and fours competitions, and season-long round-robin events. “We have two open events where players from the clubs in the area are invited. The ladies’ 2-bowl six pack was keenly contested last month when a team from

Canadian Pacific won, with our ladies in second place,” CLBC president Keith Thorpe said. This week, the CLBC held its annual men’s singles tournament, and the ladies singles will take place next week. The club also holds fun days on local holidays and some Sundays, as well as 2-bowls and barbecue evenings twice a month when members can invite friends to play. The next barbecue evenings are on July 18, and Aug. 7 and 21. “The green is open every day when there is a draw for competitive, friendly play at 9:45 a.m.,” Thorpe added. “Anyone interested can come down and join in the fun. Bowls are provided and, if necessary, instruction.” For more information, visit the CLBC website at marktrueman80.wix.com/ cowichanlbc

Call-ups key as inter B Thunder trounce Whalers KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Light on numbers, the intermediate B Cowichan Valley Thunder called on four midget callups for their game against Juan de Fuca at the Q Centre last Saturday afternoon, but the presence of the younger players did nothing to slow the Thunder down. Brody Black, Brayden Zunti, Olin Webb and Dawson Webb helped boost the Cowichan lineup, and all made big contributions to the Thunder’s decisive 18-4 victory. Black scored three goals and added two assists and Zunti had a pair of helpers, while Olin Webb potted his first intermediate goal in his first-ever game at that level. “We try to keep the game ball because it’s their first senior goal,” Cowichan coach Lorne Winship noted. “They all fit in well. I was pleased.” Cowichan held a slight 3-1 edge after the first period, then exploded in the second to make it 10-3 and continued to dominate play in the third. “It kind of went the way I thought it would go,” Winship said. “It felt like they were going to run out of gas. We were a little bit stronger than they were in terms of numbers and talent.” Mat Jung led the Cowichan attack with three goals and six assists, while James Taylor had four goals and one helper, and Colin Winship had five assists. Kyle Page scored a hat trick and added two assists, Clayton Vickers had two goals and set up another, Liam Clinging had a goal and three assists, and Jacob Taylor had one goal and one helper. Blowout victories, while they’re good for the individual statistics, aren’t beneficial to the team in the long run, Winship noted. “You don’t learn as much as you could when you win by that much,” he said. The Thunder can expect to see a lot of Juan de Fuca in the coming weeks. The teams meet again this Friday at the Island Savings Centre at 7:30 p.m. before the Thunder play their final regular season game on the road against Oceanside on Saturday. Saanich folded last weekend and Oceanside opted not to enter the playoffs, leaving just Cowichan and JDF to contend for the Island championship and a berth in the provincial championships in Langley on July 31-Aug. 3. “I’d be surprised if it’s not us,” Winship said. “But Juan de Fuca does have some strong players if they all show up.”
