Battle lines drawn over moving urban boundary LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Deal bringing passenger train service back to railway LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
An operating agreement signed Wednesday is set to restore passenger rail service on Vancouver Island. “It’s a great day. Obviously a very big important step in the future of rail service for the long term,” said
an excited Duncan Mayor Phil Kent Thursday afternoon outside the city’s iconic train station. The agreement is between Via Rail, the Island Corridor Foundation and Southern Railway of Vancouver Island Ltd., according to rail company president Frank Butzelaar.

Butzelaar said the agreements must still be ratified by each organization’s respective boards befor it’s a done deal. Southern railway’s board is not scheduled to meet until August, he said.
“Brace yourself. The howls of protest are likely to start again,” said North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring on his blog in a post entitled “Drawing a line in the swamp.” He was referring to a battle brewing over the municipality moving its urban containment boundary from its current location along Beverly Street to a more northerly line along the dike around Somenos Marsh. North Cowichan council, meeting as committee of the whole, decided on the move July 2, passing motions directing staff to amend the plan to reflect recent consultation with School District #79 and designate the Highway 1 site (adjacent to Vancouver Island University) as the only potential location for a new high school. Staff will also illustrate a revised UCB that follows the alignment of the dike between the Highway 1 and Lakes Road; and develop a revised land use concept for lands between Beverly Street and the dike which is
reflective of the revised UCB for further discussion with council at an upcoming committee of the whole meeting. Following up on that, North Cowichan officials offered more information for further discussion at a special council meeting July 10. Two similar concepts were offered, with the only significant difference being whether or not to identify a portion of municipally-owned lands adjacent to Beverly Street — the west triangle — for development purposes, or to identify it entirely as part of a proposed linear parks, open space and wetland system that is envisioned to encompass approximately 30 acres of land running on the south side of and adjacent to the dike from Highway 1 to Lakes Road. That might have been the thrust from North Cowichan’s staff but the proposed introduction of additional urban land uses on the north side of Beverly Street is still a contentious subject among many residents.

RAIN DIDN’T DAMPEN BIG SALE
Worn tires contributed to crash, says coroner
Customers came out early to the big Chemainus sidewalk sale Saturday, July 5 to check out a host of unique items.
TIMES COLONIST
A badly worn set of tires contributed to the fatal Malahat crash that prompted the province to embark on $15 million worth of safety upgrades, a coroner’s report says. Kloie Jamisola, 16, Pheap Top, 30, and Diane Bocacao, 19, died on Oct. 14, 2012, when the vehicle they were in went into a counter-clockwise rotation before colliding with a pickup in the oncoming lane. Their Honda CRV was split in two pieces. Two other passengers, including Top’s sixyear-old daughter, were taken to hospital but survived the crash near Whittaker Road in Shawnigan Lake. Everyone in the vehicle was from Nanaimo. The three passengers in the pickup truck were also taken to hospital. A coroner’s report on the deaths, released Thursday, said rain had made the roads slick. A mechanical inspection showed the Honda CRV, which was being driven by Top, had zero to 3.0 millimetres of tread depth on its rear tires, causing the vehicle to slide sideways. “Any braking or steering on the part of the driver with tires in this condition would have caused the vehicle to go into a rotation,” the report said. The tread depth on new tires averages 7.9 to 8.7 mm, the report said, noting that the

Badly worn tires contributed to this fatal Malahat crash a coroner’s report says. [FILE] tread was below the built-in wear indicators, signalling the tires should have been replaced. Top had been licensed to drive for less than a year, and her inexperience in handling a hydroplaning vehicle was deemed a factor in the crash. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is carrying out improvements between south Shawnigan Road and the Malahat summit including a narrowing point in the road where traffic in both directions must merge from two lanes to one.

Woman charged after rash of thefts in N. Cowichan KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Via Rail passenger service should be up and running again by next year, thanks to an agreement signed this week. [CITIZEN FILE]
Passenger service to begin in May 2015 DEAL BRINGING, From Page 1 The news comes as the strongest sign yet that rail service along the E&N corridor between Courtenay and Victoria will resume again after ceasing in 2011 due to concerns with the safety of the track. Kent said Island politicians and the Island Corridor Foundation “have been expecting that this agreement would be signed. It’s taken some time both in the admission of Via Rail and all the parties of the strength of the ownership by the foundation of the corridor, being able to find such a professional operator and to work to gather the funding together to make passenger service’s return a reality.” It’s one more step in the process to returning the rail line to vitality. “I have to give a lot of credit to Southern Rail and Vancouver Island Rail to develop something that Via could support, that actually created changes and some flexibility in scheduling, which will be in the hands of the operator,” Kent said. “That will also provide flexibility as we go forward, taking on the financial risk, of course, so that Via has a fixed subsidy to work towards operations and rail passenger service. That’s Via’s mandate in Canada, to provide rail service; I think
it’s important that they provide that same service here.” “The rail funding agreements for the infrastructure are underway as well in concurrence with all of this,” Kent said. Approximately $20.9 million in funding has been earmarked by the federal, provincial and local governments on the Island to replace over 110,000 deteriorating wooden ties along the rail link, plus steel repairs and upgrades for bridges along the route. Negotiations with Via to resume the service have taken years to conclude. The Crown corporation has agreed to contribute $1.45 million per year to offset the operating cost of the service and will provide three refurbished passenger cars. Trips are set to begin again in May out of Nanaimo with service to Victoria. Full service to Courtenay and Qualicum Beach should be phased in by next summer. “Via [Rail] was looking for someone to step in and underwrite the financial risk of the service, and that’s what we were prepared to do,” Butzelaar said. “Via was looking for [an] operator.” — with files from the Nanaimo Daily News

A 22-year-old woman and her 31-year-old male “associate” have been arrested and charged after a rash of thefts of everything from wedding supplies to a dirt bike from vehicles in a North Cowichan neighbourhood. Within one 24-hour period between July 6 and 7, seven vehicles were broken into, mostly in the Palahi Road area. Police suspected at least two thieves were involved, and witnesses reported seeing a man and woman skulking about the area northwest of the soccer fields at the corner of Sherman and Somenos roads, near where most of the thefts have occurred. Amanda Hawkins has been formally charged with possession of stolen property in relation to those thefts and others that occurred between June 16 and July 6. Property has been recovered and the rightful owners have been notified. The unnamed male was released by the court but still faces drug-related charges. Police advise residents to take care of their valuables. “Lock your doors, do not leave valuables in your vehicle, and never leave your wal-
let or other sources of identification laying about for would be thieves to take,” North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday said. “No less than $1,000 in personal property is now in the hands of thieves instead of with the rightful owners.” Other potential victims are encouraged to come forward as well. “If you have had your vehicle broken into, please notify the police,” Hobday added. “Where and when thefts from vehicles occur is an important source of information when determining who may be responsible for the thefts.”
Restaurants dish up Mealshare ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN
Five Cowichan Valley restaurants have jumped on board an idea that allows people to help somebody in need just by enjoying a great meal out. Mealshare is a not-for-profit program that partners with eateries that agree to designate certain items on their menu with the Mealshare logo. When somebody orders one of these items, a meal will be donated to someone in need through Warmland House and Save the Children. Mealshare was started in July 2013 and is partnered with over 60 restaurants across four cities. So far in the Cowichan Valley, participating restaurants are Rusticana, Bad Habits, The Old Fork, the Shipyard and Hudson’s on First. “We believe that everyone deserves the
right to eat,” said Blair Howard of the Valley’s volunteer Mealshare team. “We hope you will fiercely support our partner restaurants as well, and continue to enjoy their delicious food knowing that they care about not only their own business, but also have a philanthropic philosophy and care for the communities and world they live in.” The Shipyard Restaurant in Maple Bay will have two Mealshare items on their menu to start out. Owner/manager Laurie Sellwood said that when Howard contacted she and her husband Mike they pondered the idea for about a week and crunched the numbers, then decided it was definitely something they wanted to be a part of. “It’s a great program to help our locals that are in need,” Sellwood explained. Mealshare launched in Cowichan at The Old Fork on Thursday evening.

Farmers’ Market in City to welcome liquor sales
5
No decision imminent on incinerator, says chief ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Shoppers at the Duncan Farmers’ Market will be able to pick up local spirits along with their fresh vegetables following a decision by Duncan City council on Monday. Council approved a policy that will allow wineries, breweries and distilleries that already have onsite store endorsements to sell their products — for off-site consumption — at the market on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The policy was made possible by changes to provincial legislation that allow farmers markets to let wineries, breweries and distilleries sell their wares, subject to local government approval. With a host of vineyards in the Cowichan Valley, it made sense to council to make the products available at the weekly Farmers’ Market, Mayor Phil Kent said. “The Cowichan Valley draws a number of tourists to the area with its wineries and cideries,” he related. “By hosting these vendors in a market atmosphere, it will further enhance the vibrancy of the downtown and bring more tourists to the downtown core. The farmers’ markets across B.C. have been wanting this legislation for some time and council is pleased that the Liquor Control and Licencing Branch has approved this initiative in time for the summer season.” The new policy is largely similar to the directive issued by the Liquor Control and Licencing Branch, although the city has capped the number of liquor vendors allowed at the Farmers Market at one time at seven. Market organizers have said there
[CITIZEN FILE]
is the potential for up to 18 vendors. Council plans to monitor the program over the remainder of the summer and may revisit it in the future. Duncan Farmers’ Market President Mickey Smith vowed that the change will not impact the family feel of the market. “While we’re honoured to support the region’s grape growers, as we do other farmers, we want to assure market shoppers that the wholesome family atmosphere of our market will not change,” Smith said. The local liquor inspector requires that liquor vendors be located together in a specific area, and sampling will fall under strict BCLCB guidelines. Liquor sales at the Duncan market will take place in the garden of the Green Door building on Ingram Street. “The garden of the Green Door is the perfect area in our market to locate the new wine, beer and liquor vendors.” Smith said. The market is now inviting wine makers, craft breweries and local distillers to take part in the market. Sales are scheduled to begin on July 19.
Enter the Household
On Monday Chief William Seymour vehemently denied rumours that Cowichan Tribes and the Khowutsun Development Corporation are close to approving the building of an incinerator on Cowichan Tribes land in Glenora. Seymour took steps Monday to clarify the situation after what he called a “slanderous” and “presumptuous” flyer was circulated claiming the incinerator was planned for a spot just one block from the Cowichan Tribes elementary school, and was just days away from approval. The flyer went on to claim that “the toxic effects from this plant would endanger human health,” and urged people to contact Seymour and other Tribes officials in protest. “It is unfortunate the potential project has been leaked in such a manner,” said Seymour in a press release. “Cowichan Tribes leadership assures we will not proceed with any major project regarding waste to energy if it compromises the health and safety of our membership and Cowichan Valley citizens.” The project does appear to be under consideration, however. Chief and council have explored a number of ideas that could help create employment for Tribes, the press release noted. “It is our responsibility to turn to community regarding endeavors drawn from membership mandate, so if upon project

review findings, leadership feels a project is worthy of consideration, then we will go to Cowichan Tribes members through a series of information sessions,” Seymour said. “It is most important to make clear that Cowichan Tribes leadership has surely not given final approval to a major project and will not approve of any hazardous development that could potentially endanger anyone in the Cowichan Valley.” Glenora Area Director Loren Duncan said discussions about the potential project have taken place at the Cowichan Valley Regional District, though they have no authority over Tribes lands. To date, those discussions have taken place in camera and Duncan said he thus could not comment further.

Frances Kelsey a home-grown inspiration r. Frances Kelsey is a truly remarkable woman. The bare bones of her accomplishments are impressive enough. But consider that she did these things at a time when the world was a different place for women, particularly in the sciences, where women can still, even in 2014, struggle to be considered equal to the men in their fields. But in the early part of the 1900s the gulf would have been enormous. It was a time when women were expected to be wives and mothers (though the world wars played havoc
D
with these traditional roles, as women had to take on non-traditional jobs), not scientists and regulators. Note that when one of Kelsey’s most defining career breaks came, the professor who offered it to her assumed she was a man. Even as late as the 1960s many women still attended university with the purpose of finding a husband with a promising future as a breadwinner rather than finding a career. Education was a secondary consideration. Not so for this bright light from Cowichan who went on to have a planet named after her.

How many of us can boast that? One can only imagine the pressure she must have endured as she refused to approve thalidomide for the U.S. market — likely from the drug company and her superiors both. If she had not been the woman she is and stood her ground history could have been very different for millions of families. It is a truly amazing accomplishment, one that shines only brighter with the passage of time and the hindsight of history. The passion she has demonstrated for her work is inspirational.
Retirement from the FDA didn’t come until she was in her 90s. It is a humbling thing to think that she came from here. Born in Cobble Hill or Shawnigan Lake or Duncan or Chemainus, Kelsey is an example of just how far we have the potential to go. We won’t all have the impact on international affairs that Kelsey has had, but we should strive, each in our own way, to emulate her courage and dedication to her chosen life.

Electric scooters posing traffic hazard There is an elderly gentleman in Duncan who is very lucky to be alive right now and the worst thing is he probably doesn’t know it. This Thursday afternoon I was turning right onto Ypres from Coronation Avenue when I was faced with an electric scooter coming towards me on my side of the road. With inches to spare I swung wide into the oncoming lane, which was fortunately empty, and missed the gentleman. If there had been an oncoming vehicle or I had turned the corner a little tighter I would not be writing this letter to the paper, I would be writing to my
lawyer. My mother who is 94 sat shocked in my passenger seat as she watched him drive past, totally oblivious to my concern, as if he had every right to be there. What on earth was he thinking? Bad enough if he had been going with the traffic but to face it, at a busy intersection — words fail me. Then there is the fact there is a sidewalk at this location which he had decided not to use. Why? Is it really worth risking your life rather than having to navigate the curb? Let’s put some sort of licence on these motorized vehicles. Over the last week or so there have been several accidents reported in the news that involve seniors on electric scooters.
If today is anything to go by I think we need to seriously look at some form of regulation. We take away an incompetent aging person’s licence to drive a car yet still allow them drive an electric scooter. It took me some time to get over the shock and I am still very angry at the gentleman for his recklessness and inconsideration. So if you know of an aging person, maybe even a loved one, with one of these scooters be sure they are competent enough to be allowed out on the street. Because if they aren’t, then you are signing their death warrant. Sue Coleman Duncan
I’m writing to voice my dismay at North Cowichan council’s decision at their July 2 meeting to move the University Village Urban Containment Boundary from Beverly Street north to the dike. This now means that land north of Beverly Street to the dike has changed from “rural” zoning to “urban” zoning. My fear is that this now opens the door for increased density and development at the expense of readily-accessible land that could be preserved for parks, natural habitats and environmental education purposes. I moved back to the Cowichan Valley from the lower mainland specifically to get away from urban sprawl and the insidious creep of development. Surely we already have enough urban space targeted for higher density and re-development without having to gobble up even more land for the same purpose? What really concerns me is that the result of five public input meetings (paid for by taxpayers no doubt) was that 66 per cent of respondents wished to keep the boundary at Beverly Street while 26 per cent wanted it at the dike. It seems that Mayor Lefebure is the only one in attendance who “gets” it since he was the only voice that opposed this revision. If this is democracy in action then I certainly am looking forward to seeing some new faces on council come the next municipal election. Gary Fitzgibbon Duncan

Former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, now residing in Qualicum Beach, offers his perspective on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. In May, 2010 the Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership filed an application to the National Energy Board to build a pipeline to carry bitumen to the coast of British Columbia for export to markets overseas. From January to July 2012, the NEB heard oral evidence from 393 participants in 17 communities. After all of that, the Joint Expert panel ruled in favour of the project, subject to 209 conditions. On June 17 the government of Canada approved the project as proposed by the NEB. In other words, the project is approved subject to the 209 conditions imposed by the NEB. There is substantial opposition in British Columbia given that most of the pipeline is in B.C., plus the terminal at Kitimat. There seems to be little recognition that this is a national project involving directly two provinces and many other provinces in its construction and its value to assist the nation in its substantial trade that benefits the whole nation. History seems lost to many in B.C. as to the way the national railways provide great benefit to the province in that those railways bring to port many resources from other parts of Canada and make Vancouver the largest port in the country. Here are some facts: Including indirect and induced effects, in round numbers, the total impacts of ongoing operations at businesses related to
Port Metro Vancouver across Canada are: • 98,800 jobs • $9.7 billion in Gross Domestic Product • $20.3 billion in economic output • $6.1 billion in wages • $67,000 average wage for job Although all of this is not due to the rest of Canada, a large part is as a result of the delivery of products from other parts of the nation and it is the railways that makes it possible and in which all Canadians invested historically. This is valuable to producers in the rest of Canada and to Vancouver and B.C. in providing the port. Everyone benefits. It often seems to me that in the lower mainland of B.C. such large resource development in our province is somehow viewed as new and is just not green enough to pass muster. B.C. produces natural gas, another hydrocarbon, and lots of it. With new shale and tight gas discoveries of the Horn River Basin and the Montney Basin, natural gas is abundant and is carried by pipeline around the province, even by pipeline under ecologically sensitive Georgia Strait to Vancouver Island.

game of pipelines carrying hydrocarbons. The B.C. Oil and Gas Commission regulates 39,000 kilometres of oil and gas pipelines in this province. There are over 100,000 kilometres of oil and gas pipelines across Canada. Canada’s first gas pipeline was in 1853! Under our constitution, pipelines that travel across provincial boundaries are federal. There is a substantial number of B.C. residents who feel that somehow this project is different. However, very few ever make reference to the gas pipeline from Aiken, B.C. that travels through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and into Illinois, bringing B.C. gas to the U.S. This is a national project and all parties: First Nations, industry, provinces and the federal government, need to cooperate. There are risks, of course, and historically if today’s environmental rules applied to the building of the railways I suspect they may not have been built. But we are a mature democracy that can use technology and common sense to advance our economic, financial and cultural interests. That means mitigating the real concerns of new resource developments. To objectively determine if the benefits out weigh the risks.
In this present project, due diligence and objective measures have been applied. To sustain our present standard of living, to say nothing of making it even better, we must develop our natural resources. That’s how we achieved our present prosperity. It is interesting to note that the four provinces who are “have” provinces today are all oil and gas producers. Who then will pay the equalization payments for the other “have not” provinces? Renewable energy remains very expensive compared to coal, oil and gas and nuclear generation. And when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, what then? The latest BP Energy Review for 2013 shows global energy consumption by source: oil 33 per cent, coal 30 per cent, gas 24 per cent, hydro seven per cent, nuclear four per cent and non hydro renewals three per cent. And coal grew more than oil or gas, globally. That is the reality and Canada is posed to respond to this demand. On balance, then, as the NEB has said, this is a project in the national interest and should proceed if all the conditions have been met.

2 weeks to finish Lake’s Town Square Work on the Town Square in Lake Cowichan is finally moving along, said Mayor Ross Forrest. “It’s been behind schedule but it’s getting where you can really see what it’s going to look like,” he said. “I think it will be another two weeks before it’s completed.” Finishing the square is part of a concentrated campaign to beautify Lake Cowichan. “We want to attract people to come and live here,” he said.

Local hopes Victoria rally will inspire ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN
Childcare advocate Mary Dolan hopes a rally Saturday afternoon in Victoria will give a boost to the push for a provincial $10 per day childcare program. “People need to pay attention to the quality of care that young children are getting,” said Dolan. From 2-3 p.m. the “stroller brigade” will be out in force at the parliament buildings in B.C.’s capital, and while many Cowichan Valley locals will be busy with Duncan Daze in their own community, Dolan said Cowichan Bay’s Lori Iannidinardo will be representing the area at the event. “We are now reaching out to parents and grandparents to make sure that they know that this is even possible,” she said. “They don’t realize that with their voice, we can do better, we can do
much better and make life less stressful for families.” A comprehensive, low-cost childcare program such as is available in Quebec is needed in B.C. for numerous reasons, Dolan said. It would be good for businesses, she said, as it helps out employees, and by providing such a program it would significantly decrease the calculated Cowichan living wage, which sits at $17 per hour. It’s something that particularly interests young people, she said. “Generation squeeze is a fact. The 40 year olds and under are not getting their fair share of the money, so they need to be speaking up and they’re beginning to realize it and I think that’s why the whole thing’s getting more attention,” Dolan said. The main thrust of the plan is to offer childcare to families across the province
at $10 per day. Also included is a call to increase maternity leave and improve access to education for those who want to care for young children and make sure they have a living wage when they are finished. “We’re not stopping because this is an issue that’s affecting the wellbeing of children,” Dolan said. “Too many children are in care. Fewer children would be in care if we had a publicly funded, high quality, accessible, supportive piece of the puzzle being offered to families.” Parents may have to be away from the home for any number of reasons, she said, including health, economics, and professional development. “We need nurses, teachers, doctors, lawyers; we need them to provide our services. And those people do come with families,” Dolan said. “This is not going away.”

Opponents worry about development BATTLE LINES, From Page 1 Dealing with stormwater and development has long been a subject for discussion in that low-lying area and even a recommendation that the entire west triangle be designated as park and open space is not enough to cool the jets at the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society. They fired off a letter to council reminding everyone that the idea of moving the UCB to the dike from Beverly Street was raised several times at both meetings of the Stakeholder Advisory Group and public open houses and was soundly rejected. The society wondered if the change, “would remove one more step to further development between Beverly Street and the dike.” Society board member David Polster posted his frustration on the group’s Facebook page, saying, “A year of work invested by the SMWS in the University Village Plan and they slip this in at the last moment and it passes!” Facing off against them will be councillors like Siebring who said on his blog, “First of all, let’s be clear. This is not about the Fun Pacific property. The mini-golf site and former go-kart track has existing zoning of C-4...To me, it’s about what else could be done with the balance of the land. “The environmental crowd would have you believe that the dike is an artificial barrier; that actually, the
North Cowichan councillors are looking at a new urban containment boundary, shown by the heavy black line, following an extensive discussion and a recommendation from staff members, but there is still plenty of opposition to the idea. [SUBMITTED] marsh continues right to the edge of Beverly Street, and that we should take a ‘BANANAA’ approach to development there. (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone Anytime.) And, with the exception of the Fun Pacific site, that’s essentially what keeping the UCB at its present location would have accomplished,” he said. Councillors were looking Thursday
afternoon at a recommendation to revise the plan; to hold an additional public open house to present the final draft plan, with a summary of feedback to be provided to council on Aug. 20; draft a bylaw to amend the official community plan to adopt the University Village local area plan, as updated, and present it for first reading at that same council session.

Frances Kelsey still going strong at 100 DOCTOR: Valley woman blocked thalidomide, had planet named for her COMPILED BY NANCY BONNER LIBRARY ASSISTANT
It isn’t every day that a significant milestone birthday is celebrated, but next month, Frances Kelsey Secondary School’s namesake marks her first century. Frances Kathleen Oldham was born at Cobble Hill on July 24, 1914. In her early years she attended school locally, then completed her schooling at Victoria College, the forerunner of the University of Victoria. At McGill University in Montreal, she received both a BSc and an MSc in pharmacology. AT the suggestion of one of her professors, she wrote to E.M.K. Geiling, M.D., a noted researcher who was starting up a new pharmacology department at the University of Chicago, asking for a position doing graduate work. She was delighted to read Dr. Geiling’s reply offering her a research assistantship and scholarship in the PhD program. There was, however, one problem. Geiling had assumed that she was a man as the acceptance letter was addressed “Dear Mr. Oldham”. Kelsey asked her professor at McGill if she should wire back and explain that Frances with an “e” is female. “Don’t be ridiculous,” he replied. “Accept the job, sign your name, put ‘Miss’ in brackets afterwards and go!” Her work for Geiling is credited with her interest in teratogens — drugs that cause congenital malformations. After completing her PhD in pharmacology and receiving an M.D. degree, she met fellow faculty member Dr. Fremont Ellis Kelsey, whom she married in 1943. Kelsey supplemented her teaching with work as an editorial associate for the American Medical Association Journal for two years. She left the University of
Frances Kelsey, age 87, at the FDA reception commemorating her induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. [FDA PHOTO] Chicago in 1954 and moved with her husband and two daughters to Vermillion, South Dakota, where she took a position teaching pharmacology until 1957. In 1960, Kelsey was hired by the Food and Drug Administration in Washington, DC. One of her first assignments was to review an application for the drug thalidomide. Even though it had already been approved in over 20 European and African countries, she withheld approval for the drug and requested further studies, despite pressure from thalidomide’s manufacturer. As a junior officer, she almost single-handedly blocked the distribution of the drug and saved thousands of families from the trauma of birth defects. As a result of her blocking American approval of thalidomide, Kelsey was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy. It is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a civilian. In 1995, the same year Frances Kelsey Secondary School was opened and named in her honour,

a minor planet was also named in recognition of her contribution. In 2000, Kelsey was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame and in 2001, she was named a Virtual Mentor for the American Medical Association. Kelsey continued her work at the FDA where she played a key role in shaping and enforcing the 1962 Amendments. She also became responsible for directing the surveillance of drug testing at the FDA. Kelsey retired from the FDA in 2005, at age 90, after 45 years of service. In 2005, the FDA honoured Kelsey by naming one of their annual awards after her, being the Dr. Frances O. Kelsey Drug Safety Excellence Award. In 2006 she was given the Foremother Award from the National Research Centre for Women and Families. In September, 2010, Kelsey was celebrated again at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. when the FDA created an award to present to its employees for excellence and courage in protecting public health. The award is known as the Kelsey Award and its inaugural presentation was to Kelsey. In June 2012, Kelsey received an Honourary Doctor of Science degree from Vancouver Island University. Today, as she looks forward to her 100th birthday, Kelsey continues to live in her house in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Her health is good and the strongest medication she has taken in the past many years is perhaps an aspirin. Kelsey reads, does the daily crossword and keeps in touch with all that is happening in the world. Her lifelong interest in learning has not diminished. Kelsey enjoys her garden and the occasional drive in the country. Although Kelsey has lived in the United States for many years, she is proud of her Canadian heritage.

THERE’S A FAINT COWICHAN, From Page 10
Typically of Henry Croft, however, his vision was more in keeping with a Disneyland than just a seaside resort. To do this, when he was $60,000 in debt, he needed investors and the City’s consent, so he set about to achieve both. Typically, his timing was off. Victoria had just come through a boom, its population having tripled in just 10 years. But, by the 1890s, the entire continent was into a five-yearlong recession that only ended with the discovery of gold in the Klondike in late ‘97. Henry Croft, as I’ve written before, seems to have had the Midas touch — not. For all of his grandiose ambitions and schemes (he could be a true visionary at times), for all his fine English schooling and his credentials as a mining and civil engineer, for all his connections as an in-law of the wealthy Dunsmuirs, he seems to have been jinxed. Everything he touched withered. As for James Bay, after finding British capitalists willing to back him, he approached the City, the legal owners. In return for reclaiming the James Bay flats and making them a destination tourist attraction, he wanted title and a 40-year tax break. With the approach of a new century, the City was ripe for change, something on a grand scale and particularly something that would

In a 3-2 vote, Council accepted his terms. So, what happened? Did he build his Brighton or his Blackpool? Of course not; as history shows, the CPR’s interest had been piqued. Thanks, no doubt, to Henry’s published vision for the entranceway to Victoria, they, too, now saw incredible potential for the Inner Harbour. Hence, in due course,

Once again, Henry Croft’s timing was off, pockets empty the Empress Hotel and, later, the Crystal Gardens. And Henry? By the time City Council voted in favour of his Harbour proposal, he’d moved on — to a rich copper strike on Mount Sicker where he’d not only build a railway but create a deepwater seaport at Crofton for a smelter. As it turned out, the Lenora Mine was indeed rich. But not rich enough to support Henry Croft’s grandiose schemes and, within five years, the mine was finished and so was Henry. This time for good. The legendary Empress Hotel stands on the site that Our Henry had in mind for other things. —TWP Follow us at:

Sox slide into third at tadpole Islands KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Emerging victorious from a close thirdplace battle, the Duncan Red Sox claimed the bronze medal at the tadpole regional baseball championships at Evans Park last weekend. The Red Sox edged Campbell River Blue 11-10 in the third-place game on Sunday afternoon. The championship was won by Carnarvon, who topped Peninsula 10-2 in the tournament final. Weather repeatedly threatened the regional tournament throughout the week-
end, but didn’t put a damper on the event. “The tournament went great even with the rain,” organizer Tina Baker said. Game MVPs for the Duncan Red Sox included Jacob Cyr, Miles Pastuck, Carson Lesiuk, Christopher Merry, Josh Brennan and Luca Iorio. The Red Sox were coached by Shawn Cyr, Brad Lesiuk and Steve Poznecov. MVPs for the Duncan Dodgers were Landon Day, Simon Baker, Kadin Griddlestone and Ashton Rota. The Dodgers were coached by Doug Cornett, Terry Griddlestone and Cam Erickson.

Coels and Gerard help Devils to fourth at U18A provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
They didn’t qualify for nationals, but Duncan’s Caleigh Coels and Darrian Gerard and the rest of the Victoria Devils 96 had no regrets after hosting the provincial U18A girls fastball championships at the Cowichan Sportsplex last weekend. The Devils, who attended nationals two years ago and qualified again last year but opted not to make the costly trip to Prince Edward Island, finished fourth at provincials, just missing a berth as one of three B.C. representatives at the Canadian championships. The Devils lost 1-0 in their last game of the tournament on Sunday morning despite giving up just two hits, dropping them to fourth place behind the White Rock Renegades 97, Delta Heat 96 and Delta Heat 97. “It was a bit heartbreaking,” Gerard admitted. “We really thought we were going to make it. The last game was a bit of a disappointment.” Despite the loss, the players still looked back on the tournament in a positive light. “It kind of sucks because we didn’t make nationals, but overall we had fun,” Coels said. Coels was injured early in the tournament and didn’t get to play as much as she had hoped, but still enjoyed the experience of hosting provincials and playing in her hometown. “It was so much fun having everybody there cheering for our team,” she said. Coels admitted there were challenges to playing in front of a home crowd, however. “I was really nervous throughout the tournament, I guess just because it was in Duncan,” she said. “My family and friends and teachers were all there. All of a sudden, everyone was interested.” The Devils blazed through the round robin, going 4-0. “The other teams were scared of us,” Gerard said. “They didn’t want to play us.” Devils head coach Rafer Strandlund was pleased with the way the team played even if they didn’t reach their goal of qualifying for nationals.
Darrian Gerard pitches against the White Rock Renegades in the Devils’ round-robin win. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]
“It’s always a goal we shoot for. We work hard, but sometimes you don’t make it,” he said. “It’s disappointing for sure; it’s always disappointing when you don’t achieve your goals, but I’m anything but disappointed with the girls.” Many parents and coaches told Strandlund it was the best provincials they had ever attended, and he was pleased with the way the Cowichan Valley community worked to make it a success. “The folks in Duncan really helped us put together a great tournament,” he said. “There were lots of people there with no allegiance other than wanting to help.” With their minor ball careers wrapping up, most of the Devils are bound for postsecondary, including Coels, who will play at Durham College in Toronto, joining another Duncan product and fellow Devils graduate Jolene Bull, and Gerard, who will head to Muscatine Community College in Iowa. The team still has the Canadian Open to play in, on July 14-21, but the end of their time as a squad is looming. “It’s bittersweet,” Gerard said. “It’s the end of the Devils. I won’t be going anymore.”

Jr. B Thunder clinch league Caps open at home Sept. 26 KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
With a dominant 12-5 win over the Saanich Tigers, the Cowichan Valley Thunder clinched first place in the Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League. “Sunday’s game against Saanich was one of our strongest of the season,” coach Lorne Winship said. “Our defence and goaltending were outstanding.” Adam Golia led the attack with four goals and one assist, while Graham Winship had three goals and three helpers. Tyson Black scored once and added five assists, Brandon Corby had a goal and three helpers, Colin Winship had two goals, and Kelvin Philp had a goal and an assist. Kristian Mousseau chipped in with three assists and Luke Anderson added one. Unfortunately for the Thunder, Thursday’s regular season finale against the Westshore Bears at the Q Centre was their last game of the season. Without a commitment to go to provincials, the league won’t allow the Thunder to play in the Island playoffs, leaving the Tigers and Bears to battle for the banner. The intermediate B Thunder meanwhile,
For the third year in a row, the Cowichan Valley Capitals and their fellow B.C. Hockey League teams will open the season with the Bauer BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack. After that, the Caps’ proper home opener will take place on Sept. 26 as they kick off 28 dates at the Island Savings Centre. All 16 teams will start the 2014/15 campaign at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre on Sept. 19-21. The first two events were extremely successful, drawing many NHL and NCAA scouts. “The Showcase has proven to be a popular event for both the people looking for talent and also our teams and players,” BCHL communications director Brent Mutis said. “The chance for scouts to see all players under one roof in one weekend is extremely valuable and the city of Chilliwack has been an ideal host for this event each of the last two years.” The Caps will kick off the Showcase at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 against the Vernon Vipers. On Sept. 20, they will face the Merritt Centennials at 11:30 a.m. Both games will count in the regular-season standings. The Caps will play their B.C.

Smith pitches gem for Closson
Star junior B rookie commits to Caps
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Despite one rough inning, the Gord Closson Forest Products Fastball Club managed to remain undefeated in the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League with an 8-3 win over Palladian at the Glenora ball park on June 24. Pitcher Rick Smith gave up just three unearned runs, but they all crossed the plate in the third inning as Palladian took a 3-2 lead. Smith managed to hold the Nanaimo club scoreless after that, and finished the night with 18 strikeouts and just five hits against. The Duncan squad finished with eight runs on 11 hits. Brad Robinson went 3-for4 with three runs and one RBI on a solo home run in the fifth that rebooted the Closson bats. Marty Steen was 4-for-4 with four runs and hit a two-run homer in the sixth as he came a triple shy of the cycle. Smith, Trevor Gicas, Bob Court and Dennis Young also had hits. Young added two RBIs, and Court and Smith had one each. The club is heading to the BC Cup, the senior men’s provincial championship, in
close out the regular season against the same team on Wednesday, Feb. 25. The BCHL released its full 2014/15 regular season schedule last week, announcing the Caps’ 58 games, 28 home games at the Island Savings Centre and 28 road dates. The Caps will play nine games against the Grizzlies (four at home and four in Victoria) and the Powell River Kings (five at home and four on the road), and eight each against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Nanaimo Clippers (split evenly between home and road contests). Cowichan will also play one game at home and one on the road against each of the Mainland and Interior division teams, except for Vernon and Merritt, who the Caps play at the Showcase. In addition to the home opener and regular-season finales, other important dates for the Caps include Saturday, Oct. 11, when they host the defending league champion Coquitlam Express; Wednesday, Oct. 29, when they host the Clippers for the first time; and Sunday, Nov. 9, when homegrown star Steen Cooper and the Penticton Vees visit. The Caps’ longest home stand runs from Oct. 25 to Nov. 9, a run of five games against five different teams. Their longest road stretch is from Oct. 3-10, and also includes five games.

The Cowichan Valley Capitals have added another forward to their ranks for the 2014/15 B.C. Hockey League season. Eighteen-year-old Luke Santerno comes to the Caps after spending 2013/14 with the 100 Mile House Wranglers of the junior B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, where he was named Rookie of the Year in the Doug Birks Division. In 47 games with the Wranglers, Santerno led the team in goals with 24, points with 45 and powerplay goals with 10. He also chipped in five goals and seven points in eight playoff games. “Luke is a forward with a great set of hands and good offensive instincts,” said Capitals head coach and general manager Bob Beatty. “Luke was coached by former Capitals captain Brendan Hutchinson in midget hockey in Smithers and has a year of junior B under his belt. We like the combination of size and skill that Luke brings and feel he will develop into a top end forward in the BCHL.” A native of Smithers, Santerno checks in

He is looking forward to the opportunity to make the jump to junior A with the Caps. “I’m really excited, I’m looking forward to being on the [Capitals] and playing in the [BCHL],” said Santerno. “My coach from midget [Hutchinson] used to play there and he had a bunch of great things to say about the team so we talked about it for a while with my parents and him and decided this was a good choice to make.” Santerno played five BCHL games last season with Merritt, including one in Duncan against the Caps. “I don’t really remember much [about the game] but I remember it was a nice rink with a good atmosphere in it... and I missed on a breakaway, but other than that it was pretty good,” he recalled.

Perfect start for midget AA Duncan RiverCats
Debbie
After winning the South Island midget AA spring baseball championship, the Duncan RiverCats picked up right where they left off with a perfect 4-0 start to the summer season. The team opened the season on the road on June 29, winning both ends of a doubleheader over Victoria’s AA team 12-2 and 15-10. Starter Jordy Frost struck out 10 batters over four shutout innings in the opener, while the offence was led by Blair Robertson’s three-hit outing. The RiverCats continued their dominant form early in the second game. “After building an early 14-4

lead, we seemed to relax and let Victoria back into it,” head coach Jim Frost said. Adam Sakuma started on the mound and gave up just one run over two-plus innings. Ethan Whitelaw came in with the bases loaded in the fifth and wrapped up the inning with a strikeout, then allowed just one run over the next two innings to finish the game. Frost, Robertson and Zach Komst each had three hits, while Tyler McWhirter, Derek Hayes, Spencer Mar tin and Reiya Tomida had two hits apiece. Back on their home field at Evans Park last Sunday, the RiverCats got a complete-game one-hitter from Frost as they mercied Victoria 10-0. Robertson

collected three hits, while Keir Baknes cleared the bases with a three-run double. Duncan got off to a shaky start in the second game, falling behind 8-1 in the first two innings. The team bounced back in impressive fashion, however, scoring 17 unanswered runs over the next four innings. Tomida came in as a reliever in the third and pitched four scoreless innings. Jaysen Paddle and Adam Fukakusa scored three runs apiece. The RiverCats played host to Victoria’s AAA team on Thursday evening, and will be at home against Campbell River on July 20 at noon and 3 p.m. Duncan will host the Island championships on July 26 and 27.
