Bay blaze lights fire under smoke detector message MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN

A family of five was lucky to escape a house fire unscathed, despite the fact they didn’t have a single working smoke detector in the home, said Cowichan Bay’s fire chief. “It could have been catastrophic,” said Ken Bulcock. “It’s just unbelievable, there were people in there ages three to about 60 — the outcome could have been far worse.” Cowichan Bay fire crews were called to a home on Wilson Street about 3 a.m. Friday morning and were greeted by flames in the kitchen. Bulcock said he immediately saw flames and “dumped a five-pound extinguisher on it” then had to get out of the house. “A couple of the crew then went in and the fire was knocked down in about 20 minutes,” he said. Turns out a young male occupant of the home was cooking something on the stove, then left it unattended. “A female in the residence smelled the smoke and got everyone out and at that time the flames were already into the kitchen and starting to get inside the interior of the building,” Bulcock said. In all, 15 Cowichan Bay fire-
Financing for 84 Months
fighters — three units — were utilized. “We also called in Duncan fire for mutual aid,” the chief said. Crews spent about two hours on scene. CVRD provided emergency services and put the family up in a motel. While that story has a reasonably happy ending, it’s true it could have been worse and the excuse that smoke alarms are too expensive just isn’t true any more, said Ann Hancock, of the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. “We’ve had an ongoing campaign for the past 18 months where we’ve made it our mission to make sure every home in B.C. has a working smoke detector,” she said. “So many people were being injured or dying because they didn’t have a smoke detector, we thought it might be an easy solution to supply them.” If you need a smoke alarm or have any questions regarding them, contact someone in your local fire hall and they’ll be happy to help you out. Bulcock said the recent narrow escape is also a good time to remind every one to check the batteries in their smoke detectors, or check to see if the units need replacing.

Harsh weather conditions can threaten the health of anyone, including the family pet. This is especially so in the summertime, when animals can easily and quickly get dehydrated. Extreme temperatures in the summer force many pet owners to keep their pets indoors during the daytime. But there are ways pets can survive a sizzling summer and still enjoy some fun in the sun. Pet owners can take the following precautions as the mercury rises so their favorite four-legged friends are not confined to the house when summer hits full swing. * Be attentive at all times. Pets do not hide their emotions well, and a pet that is struggling with the heat is bound to exhibit some symptoms. According to the ASPCA, symptoms of heat stroke in pets include: - excessive panting or difficulty breathing - increased heart rate - drooling - mild weakness - stupor - collapse Each of these indicates a pet might be overheating, and a pet might also suffer from seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomiting when its body temperature is too high. When taking a pet outdoors in the heat, people should be mindful of these symptoms and be attentive to the animal’s condition at all times. * Trim the animal’s coat. Long hair in the summertime can make things very uncomfortable for your pet. Hair cut to about one inch can help prevent overheating. When trimming the animal’s coat, do not cut closer than one inch, as anything less than an inch likely won’t provide any protection from the sun. * Only visit areas with ample shade.
Areas that are without shade, such as a beach or wide open park, are not good spots to walk a pet in the summertime. Pets can easily overheat when exposed to hot summer sun, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Only go for walks in areas with ample shade so pets can still get outdoors but get only limited exposure to the hot summer sun. * Don’t take pets on chore runs. Many pet owners like to take their pets with them when they’re doing chores, such as dropping mail off at the post office or picking up a prescription at the pharmacy. Such chores may take just a few minutes, but those few minutes in a hot car can prove deadly for pets. Pets should never be left alone in a car on a hot day, when the car can quickly reach extreme temperatures. Some regions have even made it illegal to leave pets in unattended cars on hot days. * Steer clear of asphalt on hot days. Pet owners know enough not to walk on hot asphalt without shoes on, and they should take the same precautions with their pets. The padding on pets’ feet can suffer considerably from hot asphalt, and this can prove very painful to animals. When walking pets on a hot day, avoid asphalt, which can cause pets’ body temperature to rise considerably, especially smaller pets whose bodies are closer to the ground. Stick to the grass or other surfaces that don’t get so hot under the summer sun. Pets can overheat quickly and easily in the summertime. But pet owners who take a few precautionary measures can still take their pets out for some fun in the summer sun.

Sentencing June 23 for RCMP officer convicted in shooting SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
C o nv i c t e d o f a g g r ava t e d assault in the 2009 shooting of an unarmed man, former North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP Const. David Pompeo will be sentenced in late June. Sentencing will begin at 9:30 a.m. on June 23 at the Duncan Law Courts. For victim William (Bill) Gillespie, who says he’s suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, the back end of the case can’t come soon enough. “This dragging out is hard on me and my family,” he said in a prepared statement. Gillespie noted Pompeo’s bullet, which is still lodged in his spine, is so painful he is unable to work and is in financial hardship. Pompeo remains on the RCMP payroll in an administrative role. On Feb. 14, Pompeo was found guilty of aggravated assault for shooting Gillespie in the shoulder during a traffic stop in Chemainus
on Sept. 18, 2009. It took nearly two years before Pompeo was charged and another year before he went to trial. “The delays prove that justice travels at a slow pace,” Gillespie said. Pompeo and his partner had been driving an unmarked pickup truck when they pulled Gillespie over for suspicion of driving while prohibited. During the trial, Pompeo testified Gillespie got out of his vehicle without being told to do so and made “blatant movements and gestures making me to believe he was armed.” His statements are in stark contrast to Gillespie’s earlier testimony, when he said he was ordered out of the car and complied fully with Pompeo’s instructions. In his 83-page decision, Judge Josiah Wood said that while satisfied Pompeo believed it was necessary to shoot Gillespie, the officer’s belief was not based on reasonable grounds, but instead on fear-induced stress.

Behind-the-scenes Valley mover and shaker remembered SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Sydney Charles Jon Watts (better known, simply, as Syd) was the type of man that made things happen. He was a guy that ensured things got done — and properly — and, when it was time to celebrate a success, he was also the type to fall back into the shadows and let others take the spotlight. “He was a mover, an instigator,” said Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society’s Paul Fletcher. “He made things happen. He was always there in the background. A lot of people are surprised because they really never knew how much he actually did because he kept so quiet about it all.” Predeceased by his wife, Emily (nee Prout, 2003) whom he met
while hiking in 1965, Watts died on May 25 at Cowichan District Hospital. “It’s a huge loss,” Fletcher said. “His knowledge and memory is a great loss as well.” Born near Olds, Alberta in 1927, Watts arrived in Cowichan as a boy in 1937. It was as a member of the boy scouts that his passion for nature was fostered. When he wasn’t working as a mechanic, Watts became an avid mountain climber with such groups as the Outdoor Club of Victoria, the Alpine Club of Canada, and the Island Mountain Ramblers, the last of which he co-founded. In 1970, he and Emily made their first trek up a mountain on the east side of Buttle Lake, near Aug-
Syd Watts 1927-2013 erpoint Mountain in the Comox Strathcona region. Some years ago that peak was officially named Syd Watts Peak, in recognition of his deep love of, and dedication to,
the mountains. The pair was instrumental in saving the Mt. Tzouhalem Ecological Reserve where Syd, already the area’s unofficial eyes and ears, became the reserve’s warden. In 2007 he was honored with the Volunteer of the Year Award from B.C. Parks. A longtime member of the Cowichan Valley Naturalist’s Society, Watts helped spawn the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society in 1987 where he was an active member, albeit from the background, for many years. “We named our boardwalk the Watts Walk because of the contributions of both Emily and Syd,” Fletcher said of the 2009 dedication. “He was one of the first people to say to us ‘the
grass is too long, the bushes need clipping’…” It’s because of that attention to detail and to his unwavering dedication to the group that the Society has created an annual memorial spring clean up to honour the memory of Watts. The first event was held June 2 at the marsh. “It was very successful and we will continue to do it every spring now,” Fletcher said. While Watts had requested no funeral services, his friends and supporters will gather to share memories on June 7 from 2 until 4 p.m. at the Glenora Hall at 3660 Glenora Rd.. Donations to the Cowichan Valley Land Trust or the Salvation Army are welcomed.

Artists asked to ponder peace pole MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST The Cowichan Valley School District is inviting expressions of interest from quali¿ed parties to provide licensed child care services in the following schools: • • • •
Ecole Mt. Prevost Elementary Discovery Elementary George Bonner Elementary Duncan Elementary
Interested parties may obtain an information package from the School Board Of¿ce. Submissions are to be received no later than Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 4:00 pm to: Secretary-Treasurer Child Care Services Proposal Cowichan Valley School District 2557 Beverly Street Duncan, BC V9L 2X3
All they are saying is give the peace pole a chance. A call has gone out to all Valley artists and carvers to seek their input into a carved figure and peace pole to be erected in Duncan “We’re looking for ideas for a peace pole and a welcoming human figure — at least life-sized — to work in tandem,” said Joan Gillatt, who’s spearheading the project. “We’re looking for someone to take the ideas and meld them into one art piece and to give us some idea how they might do that, because we don’t know how to do it.” A peace pole is a hand-crafted monument that displays the message: “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in languages that are meaningful to the people of the area. There are tens of thousands of peace poles in 180 countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace.
There are already two peace poles in the Valley, one in Chemainus, the other in Shawnigan Lake. Gillatt’s idea is to see one erected in a public spot in Duncan. The design may be completely unique but must incorporate words related to peace in equal in size and prominence on the peace pole in both English and Hul’qumi’num and must provide space on or around the pole for similar expressions in multiple languages that can be added over time. The traditional welcoming pole must remain free of words. Applications can be submitted in digital form to cvartscouncil@shaw.ca or addressed to: The Cowichan Valley Peace Pole Project c/o Cowichan Valley Arts Council, 2687 James St., Duncan, B.C. V9L 2X5 Expressions of interest must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 30. For more information, check out Cowichan Peace Pole Project on Facebook.

The campers will have the chance to interact with some of the friendliest cats and small animals at the shelter, as well as some lovable dogs belonging to BC SPCA staff members. The cost is $115 per child per week, or $100 for kids who are in the SPCA Kids’ Club. “There are bursaries available for those in need,” said McDonald. The camps take place July 22, July 29 and Aug. 12 and takes place at 7550 Bell McKinnon Rd. Register online at www. spca.bc.ca/camp, or by phone at 604-5997209, Monday through Friday.

The beauty that is the old Chemainus River Bridge got a last minute stay of execution — well at least for one more week. A notice on the North Cowichan website says the bridge, which had been slated for demolition and reconstruction beginning on June 11, will now be closed starting June 17. Staff in the municipality’s engin-
eering department said, “Hydro hit some rock and that’s going to delay the start.” As a result of the delay, the span is expected to remain closed until Oct. 17 now instead of Oct. 11. During the closure all traffic — including vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians — will be rerouted away from Chemainus Road near Pinson’s corner. Residents of the street will have access to their driveways.

Camp Day smashes records SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Cowichan Valley residents are either generous, or they just really, really, REALLY like their Tim Hortons coffee. Or maybe it’s both. This year a record-smashing $16,370 was collected on and around June 5 as part as the popular coffee shop’s annual Camp Day fundraiser. “I believe it is close to a 30 per cent increase from last year,” said local Tim Hortons spokeswoman Charlotte Fisher. “The people of the Cowichan Valley did an awesome job supporting this great event.” The funds were collected at all five of the region’s Tim Hortons stores: Mill Bay, Lake Cowichan, and the three closest to Duncan’s core. According to the company’s website, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, which administers the Camp Day fundraiser, was established back in 1974 by Tim Hortons chain co-founder Ron Joyce, to honour Tim Horton’s love for children and his desire

National Blood Donor Week is happening now and more donors are needed, especially at this time of year when the need for blood is high.

Since then, more than 180,000 children have been given the opportunity to go to camp at no cost. All told, according to a press release, this year customers helped Tim Hortons raise $11.8 million for Camp Day — up $800,00 from last year. That’s enough money to send more than 16,000 kids to camp. “Each and every donation made on Camp Day and throughout the year has the
power to change the lives of children in your community,” said Foundation executive director said Dave Newnham. “The donations not only give thousands of deserving kids the chance to experience a once-in-alifetime opportunity each year, but it can make a lasting impact as children who attend our camp often return home with a more positive attitude and greater confidence about their future.”
Donors asked to support Blood Signal MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN

This year, patients at more than 400 hospitals nationwide and 86 hospitals in the B.C. and Yukon regions are depending on blood donors to help save or improve their lives from trauma, disease and other illness. Throughout National Blood Donor Week, Canadian Blood Services is asking Canadians to “go social” in supporting the Blood Signal by: • Visiting Mosaic Me at www.mosaicme.ca/ where people can post pictures of themselves donating, promoting or otherwise supporting patients through blood donation. That will form in the shape of the Blood Signal
• Checking out www.facebook.com/CanadianBloodServices for the launch of a new Behind the Blood Signal video • Throughout the week donors are also encouraged to check in at blood donor clinics using their mobile devices as another way of showing they are getting Behind the Blood Signal. Upcoming clinics in Duncan — at the Island Savings Centre, 2687 James St. — are June 18-20, 2:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. There are also clinics in South Cowichan June 12 and 13, 12:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. at Mill Bay Community League Hall 1001 Shawnigan Lake Rd.
Three years ago, a significant portion of Mill Bay’s public waterfront looked lifeless and its marina lay in pieces after a severe storm. But these days the marina has become a community hot spot that is about to add some new faces. Cadillac Homes is now bringing 14 oceanfront townhomes out of the ground just above the marina as the next phase of its Waterfront at Mill Bay Marina project unfolds. “This has taken three years to get this far and I know in my lifetime this kind of [waterfront development] won’t happen again in Saanich Inlet that I can see,” said Cadillac president Cam Pringle. The first phase of the rebuilding of the marina was completed last year. The 92-slip marina, with 700 feet of transient moorage, replaced the old marina ravaged by the spring storm in 2010. This year, the developers added a fuel dock, sanitation dump and marine store as well as three kilo-

Pringle said the community has embraced the development. “It’s had the effect we hoped it would. People are coming down here, sitting on the waterfront and on the benches we’ve added. The bistro is filled every day, so the community has reacted totally positively,” he said. “I think it has created a focal point for the community.” The marina replacement and improvements also won an award of excellence for community enhancement from the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board earlier this year. The next phase is also underway as Cadillac has opened its show suite in
its first residential building. The project calls for 14 townhouse units in four buildings — three oceanfront and a large building set back on higher ground. The expectation is all four buildings will be completed by the end of 2014. The units average 2,200 square feet in size and range in selling price from $845,000 to $970,000. Pringle said there has been plenty of interest even though they have only been marketing the residential component of the development for about a month. Pringle said the target market is the active 50-plus set who are looking to downsize. “We’re selling a lifestyle here,” he said.

OUR VIEW
Salary raises to political staffers disgusting he Fraser Health Authority said it is instituting a wheelchair fee for seniors in care facilities so the authority can pay for maintenance and upkeep on the equipment — and Christy Clark and the Liberals give huge raises to their already well-paid political staff. Does anybody see the problem here? They talk cuts and austerity and belt-tightening but apparently that’s just for everyone else. We think it’s disgusting. And we’re not of the mind that everyone should be dragged down to the lowest common
T
denominator when it comes to salary. In fact, we think that mentality just ends up hurting the masses, though it is often the masses who have been convinced to perpetuate it. We should be striving to raise everyone’s salaries, not drive them into poverty. Nor do we think that people wanting raises as the cost of living goes up are asking for the unreasonable. The fact of the matter is that most wages have stagnated while the prices of everything from food to housing have

OTHER VIEWS
skyrocketed. Further exacerbating the problem is the fact that the quality of jobs available across the country, in terms of salary and full-time hours with benefits, has declined. This is something that many people have noted anecdotally for years, but this week news reports are quoting a CIBC World Markets study that is saying exactly the same thing. That’s bad news for everyone, not just those looking for work, or in one (or two, or three) of those minimum wage part-time/ casual jobs.
You see, when all those folks are having trouble making ends meet, that leaves little to nothing for them to spend at your car dealership, boutique, restaurant or even grocery store. Which means all those business owners start to skate a little closer to the line themselves, pulling back on their own spending in the process. Of course some of that former spending would also have taken the form of charitable giving within their communities. So all in all, we tend to think that the more people employed and paid well the better.

You are right: enough is enough is enough.... Time folks realize domestic violence does not know gender or discriminate. Your editorial shows the exact ignorance of what I am saying: “We have to stop it before little BOYS grow into men.” Really? But of course we won’t speak of this and the powers that be won’t address this because men are never the victims. So before people get all righteous, think, can you name the transition house for male victims in B.C.? No because there are NONE. Have you ever witnessed police response when a male is reporting? Let’s talk about a joke. It is past time for sweeping changes, but I will say it again, domestic violence does not know gender. Time for the pendulum to swing closer to centre.

But we really can’t stomach seeing political staff get huge raises at this time. Especially when those raises are coming out of our struggling pockets. And while the premier claims the upcoming review of ministries won’t necessarily mean big layoffs, we think any, at a time when there is obviously money for her cronies, would be too many. We’d rather see people employed on the front lines in government departments than pay a penny for the egregious tens of thousands of dollars in salary boosts to partisan staffers.
Kids deserve better than deteriorating schools I wanted to address the disturbing news that the parents of Duncan Elementary received last week. We were given the indoor air quality assessment for Mt. Prevost school, where our young kids will be moving to in September. The report details just how much mould and standing water exist in the crawlspace, and how large a contamination there is of airbourne mould concentrations. The results may not be surprising, but they are definitely worrisome and disheartening, especially when I think of my six year old spending five days a week there.
The school board has made no promises to repair the damage to the school, and has even made the galling comment that “at least” the mould is not directly in the classrooms themselves. I would ask the school board if they would appreciate working in a building with mould and contaminated water just under their feet from Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 p.m., almost every week of the year. How can we in good conscience send our children to a building that is rotting? How can we tell our growing and budding minds that as a society we care so little for them that we cannot even provide a safe and healthy place to learn? How can friends of mine with
children that already have compromised lungs from asthma and other complaints possibly feel comfortable about sending their children to school? But thanks to our school board there is likely no better option in our public school system, as I could almost bet that all our schools suffer (or if newer, will soon) from the same poor health prognosis. Look at where I live — the school in Lake Cowichan we are in the catchment for not only rotted thanks to purposeful neglect, it now cannot even be used as a building and will eventually be torn down. I worry for my children, and for all the children in the school system. It is hard not to feel hope-
less when there seems to be so few in power that are willing to risk their popularity and put the next generation before their own. I would like to see things improve, I would like schools to be well maintained, but I fear that I will only see things slide into further disrepair. As a mom, I can simply hold onto what hope I have, and fight like the mother bear to protect my children any way I can, even if it is fighting those in power who should be on my side. I want better, I demand better, and I will work to better my children’s education, any way that I can. Carla Spooner Lake Cowichan

Mayor Lefebure has come out and said that the environment, cost and location are all important criteria for the selection of the site for the new police station. Given those criteria, a better site would be the soonto-be-closed Somenos Elementary School site. It has many advantages. • It is right behind the municipal hall. The mayor has stated in the past that he likes to concentrate municipal administration functions in one site. The police service is our biggest and highest cost budget item. • The site has reasonably good access to the highway. • It is not an environmentally sensitive area as the marsh site is. • Construction costs would be lower. Land there is less valuable, foundation construction costs would be much lower, and no special water management would be required. These advan-
tages would offset the cost of the land purchase. • The carbon footprint, that our mayor is so concerned with, would likely be improved. During construction, municipal staff can just walk across the street to the site instead of having a procession of municipal vehicles driving down the highway all day long and plugging up Beverly Street. • There are many more economically viable alternatives for the school board office site than there are for the Somenos Elementary site.

Water meeting well attended Hundreds of people showed their concern for their drinking water supply by attending Cobble Hill’s town hall meeting on May 23, 2013. The community and water purveyors in the Fisher Road area have long known there is nitrate contamination in that part of our groundwater aquifer. However, until this meeting, they have been unable to obtain factual information about the
issue due to Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy laws. The community learned from Thurber Engineering and provincial government staff the extent of the nitrate contamination and more importantly, that all parties involved have agreed to work collaboratively to ensure the nitrates found in this part of the aquifer are reduced and the drinking water in the area is protected for present and future generations. There are groups that are striving to protect the Cowichan River system, the Shawnigan watershed and the Cobble Hill aquifer; proof that our communities value and want to continue to have reliable, clean fresh water for drinking, cultural and recreational purposes. I want to thank everyone who took the time to attend the town hall meeting and learn firsthand what is transpiring with their drinking water and I particularly want to extend my appreciation to those who have worked long and hard to ensure this issue is taken seriously and addressed in a proactive manner. Thank you! Gerry Giles, Regional Director Cobble Hill

The first passenger train (Part 3) (The Chronicles is celebrating the 100th anniversary of this momentous day in the Lake’s history with a five-part series.) y 1905, after a fitful start, any news was good news if it concerned construction of the E&N’s proposed Barkley Sound extension: “After working for a good many years, old timers appreciate the fact that at last the preliminary work for a railway is being carried out,” reported the Cowichan Leader. “The C.P.R. now have a party in the field. Mr. J.M. Rolston...who is temporarily in charge, has a party located at Duncan and is now starting a survey for the Railway. That this road will be built is certain as the prospects for mineral[s] is getting better every day as proven by development work, but aside from mineral, the timber alone is sufficient to make it a paying proposition, also the popularity of Cowichan Lake as a summer resort, and for fishing and shooting cannot be excelled. These facts doubtless have been recognized by the C.P.R. officials, hence the survey. “That the resources of this island are becoming known is plainly shown every day. Hundreds of people are coming to all parts of the Island, and Duncan is not behind.... In fact we think the Cowichan Valley today pre-
B
dominates with our roads, our beautiful climate, fine homes and grand scenery. We cannot but attract the attention and please the fancy of any one who has lived in more barren countries...” Come March 1910, it was official, at least as far as the Lake, the CPR formally giving “Public Notice...that the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company did on the fifth day of March, 1910, deposit in the Land Registry Office in the City of Victoria, in the Province of British Columbia, Plan, Profile and Book of Reference shewing [sic] the location of its propose[d] line of railway from Duncan, B.C., to Cowichan Lake, B.C., being Mile 0 to Mile 18, as approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada. Dated this 5th day of March, 1910. W.F. Salsbury, Secretary.” At Hayward Junction (Mile 41.4 on the Mainline, today’s Cowichan Commons), construction of what would become, by default, the Lake Cowichan Subdivision began in November. Following the Cowichan River gradient, the two per cent grade to the summit at Sahtlam meant a climb of 570 feet over a distance of nine miles for westbound trains, the steepest section on the whole E&N line. It’s just as well that the heavier logging trains had the benefit of gravity when com-

ing from the Lake. At least once, a runaway car picked up enough speed to coast all the way to Duncan and plough into an oncoming locomotive. Under the bland headline, “Industrial Activity Proceeds Apace,” the Leader breathlessly reported that “everything has been satisfactorily arranged and...work on the long expected line to the lake will be commenced within the next few days. This will be gratifying news to people of this district who have been held in suspense for a long time over the contemplated construction of the road...” Only upon the guarantee of an E&N extension to Cowichan Lake did the American Finance and Securities Co. advance the money for the Empire Logging Co. to close a deal on 30,000 acres of E&N-owned timberland. And only upon the Americans’ commitment to finance Empire’s logging show at the lake and to build a $750,000 sawmill at Crofton did the CPR finally commit to building the extension. Construction was slow by today’s standards, but more or less steady and, June 12, 1913, the Leader headlined, “Trains to Lake; Service Next Week.” H.E.

A large number boarded for inaugural run From page 9 as of that Wednesday there would be thriceweekly direct passenger service to Cowichan Lake from Victoria. Throughout the summer, at least, trains would leave Victoria at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, reach Duncan at 10 and arrive at Lake Cowichan at 11 “or thereabouts,” and be back in the capital by 7 in the evening. Intended for city dwellers wishing to spend weekends at Shawnigan and Cowichan lakes, the new service was subject to patronage but it was a good start. More definite was a report that freight service, mostly logs from the Lake, was being well utilized. Came the great day, June 18, and the Colonist was on hand: “If the crowd which took the first Victoria-Cowichan Lake train, which left the E.&N.
Railway Company’s Store Street depot at 8 o’clock yesterday morning, is an indication of the traffic to be attracted by the new service, there is no question that the company’s officials will find it necessary to make the schedule a permanency. “Not only was there a large number from this city, but about 60 joined at Duncan. Thus the cars were well filled and the trip was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The run, in which special interest was evinced, was from the junctional point immediately north of Duncan into the lake. Between these two places there were two stops, namely, at Tansor and Sahtlam. For some distance the line follows the sinuosities of the Cowichan River, and twice picturesque mountain streams are crossed. It was freely predicted by those who made the initial
excursion that, now that the new district is more accessible, it will become exceedingly popular among Victorians and tourists.” The Colonist noted that the new service was launched without any ceremony. Such lack of sentiment was quite in keeping with imperious CPR business policy which didn’t recognize Daylight Savings! But the Leader was content: “A large party of businessmen from Duncan boarded the first regular train to Cowichan Lake Wednesday morning, ate lunch there, cruised on the lake and returned to Duncan in the afternoon. ‘The new line is wonderful and the roadbed is in extraordinarily good shape for a new branch,’ the group trumpeted following the trip...” (To be continued) www.twpaterson.com

Another toe-tapping season of Music in the Park kicks off in Chemainus on June 18 with the always popular Cowichan Valley Concert Band. The band with a big sound will be playing tunes from classic marches and Broadway themes to modern pop and rock at the 7 p.m. concert at Waterwheel Park in downtown Chemainus. Tuesday’s concert is just the first in a summer-long musical season in the park that is hosted by the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society.
Every Tuesday night there will be free concerts under the fir trees in the park. A trio of weekend musical treats are again planned to take place this summer. Acts include Bluegrass Extravaganza, July 27-28 and Accordion Day, Aug. 10. The Chemainus Jazz Festival happens Aug. 24 and features several big-name artists, including sax-master Phil Dwyer as well as sisters Ingrid and Christine Jensen, originally from Nanaimo. Full details of the summer musical lineup can be found at www.cvcas.com
The Chicago Sun Times once called him the “worthy heir to the famed Irish tenor, John McCormack.” But fans will tell you Canadian John McDermott — who’s scheduled to play the Cowichan Theater in October — is in a class all his own. Made famous in the early 1990s with his version of the classic ballad, Danny Boy, McDermott once spent a year as the opening act for the renowned Irish group, the Chieftains. He soon went from opening act to starring in his own shows and now, 20 years and more than 25 albums later, he’s an international recording star and household name. During the course of his long career, McDermott has scored with platinum, double-platinum and triple-platinum albums, not to mention numerous Juno nominations. In concert now for his 20th Anniversary National Tour
John McDermott will perform at the Cowichan Theatre. [SUBMITTED] — a two-decade retrospective — McDermott will highlight a variety of songs from his early recordings through his latest releases as he kicks off his B.C.

Movie magic comes to stage in Singin’ In The Rain MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
It’s easily one of Hollywood’s most beloved musicals and now all the toe-tapping dance numbers, smile-inducing scenes and the splish-splashing show stopper that is Singin’ In The Rain is on the Chemainus Theatre Festival stage from June 14 to Aug. 25. Director Tracey Power said there was a huge amount of technical work that had to be done to pull off the iconic story, not the least of which is the title song, when it’s necessary to make it rain indoors. How they pull that off is hushhush, said Power. “It’s theatre magic,” she said. “We can’t tell you all the secrets.” Set designer Kevin McAllister has a different take. “ We l l , we ’ r e wo r k i n g o n the weather patterns. Paul [Tedeschini, sound designer], John [Webber, lighting designer] and I are combining decades of creative and engineering experience to incorporate Mother Nature into the show.” Based on the classic Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film — starring Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds — the acclaimed stage production is a light-hearted comedy that stylishly depicts the upheaval in the movie business during the Roaring Twenties when “talkies” first appeared on the Hollywood landscape. The production features incredible dance numbers and unforgettable songs including: You Were

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Meant for Me, Make ‘em Laugh, Good Morning, Moses Supposes and, of course, Singin’ In The Rain. “I want our audience to be swept away by the joy and heart that is Singin’ In The Rain,” said Power, an Island woman with roots firmly planted in the Comox Valley. “This musical is not only full of wonderful songs and memorable characters, but is an incredible story about a time in motion picture history that changed the entertainment industry forever.” The seasoned director said her crew and cast of 14 actresses and actors had “a wonderful time recreating and reliving the highspirited era of Hollywood in the
1920s, and I expect audiences will be eager to join in the fun.” Power brings the iconic film to life with musical director Steven Greenfield (Fiddler on the Roof; Oklahoma!; Mr. Pim Passes By; South Pacific). The musical, according to the Chemainus Theatre website, “Unveils a stylish tale of selfobsessed Hollywood at the end of the silent screen era. Film star, musician, and stunt man, Don Lockwood, has come to Tinseltown to make it big. But his success means tolerating a studioengineered romance with the beautiful and vain leading lady, Lina Lamont, who’s convinced their relationship is real. When

the first talking motion picture is released, and becomes a smash hit, studio heads scramble to convert the new Lockwood and Lamont film, The Dueling Cavalier, into a talkie.” Which presented another challenge — how to film a 1920s era silent film using modern camera gear and technology. “We shot the film in Chemainus last week and we tried to capture the same look and feel of the era,” said Power, who added she enjoyed the technical tests involved in putting on the musical. “It’s just a matter of rising to the challenges and getting excited about the challenges,” she said. The terrific cast — which has
been in rehearsals since May 20 — light up the theatre with expected charm, humour, and talent. Playing the iconic lead characters are Leon Willey as witty and likeable Hollywood actor Don Lockwood; Emma Slipp as glamorous and brash silent screen star Lina Lamont; Jonathan Purvis as wacky musician and Don’s sidekick Cosmo Brown; and Rachel Harrison as smart and strongwilled new actress Kathy Selden. Combining glitzy Hollywood with the era of fashionable flappers is a dream-come-true for costume designer Barbara Clayden. “The opportunity to present such a free and exploratory time in fashion is marvelous,” she said. “The outfits are the finishing touch to transport our actors and audiences to another time and place down Charing Cross Road.” Power said everyone involved in the show is working overtime to make things perfect. “Everyone is working really hard, and everything seems to be fitting into place.” she said. Theatregoers who want to know more about the backstage story and production secrets of this musical are encouraged to attend a “Talk-back Wednesday” performance, when an intimate question and answer session with the actors and artistic team is held to discuss the production in depth. Tickets are available now and can be purchased online at chemainustheatre.ca, or by calling the Chemainus Theatre Festival box office at 1-800-565-7738.

Auditions take teens Into The Woods MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood — and any others who’d like to perform in a production of the very popular dark comedy, Into The Woods — local auditions are starting soon. The Valley’s Chalkboard Theatre is producing its first full-length musical, and chose the well-liked show by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. “We’re looking for all interested actors from the ages of 13 to 19 to try out,” said Michelle Tremblay, who is co-directing the ambitious project with Tilly Laurence. But there’s more than just acting involved, said Tremblay. “All the characters involved sing at least one song,” she said. “We have a musical director working with the orchestra, so we’re hoping the people who show up know how to sing, because it will be a big challenge if they don’t.” The characters include many childhood favourites, including Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, a giant, a wolf and many more. Chalkboard describes the play thusly: “The story follows a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk. “When the baker and his wife learn they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their
actions return to haunt them with disastrous results.” “The characters are really strong, all the parts are good,” said Tremblay. “The music is quite fun and beautiful.” There will be a showing of the Broadway version, at 6 p.m. June 12 at the Duncan Garage Showroom “if they want to see what it’s all about,” said Tremblay. Rehearsals start Aug. 31 and two days of performances are scheduled to take place Dec. 6 and Dec. 7 at Brentwood College’s main stage. Auditions will be held at 6 p.m. June 18 at the Duncan United Church. Cowichan Valley Arts Council Audition packages must be submitted and are available at the CVAC office in the Island Savings Centre or online at: www.chalkboardtheatre.com/snryouthprog. html Hopefuls are also expected to prepare a short song, about a minute or less, of their choice. An accompanist will be provided, but actors are asked to bring sheet music in the appropriate key, or be prepared to sing a cappella.

Music teachers strut their stuff MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
About a dozen Valley music teachers are getting ready to tickle the ivories, belt out a few and send an SOS during a concert Sunday. Okay, the SOS stands for Struttin’ Our Stuff, and that’s exactly what the teachers intend to do at St. Michael’s Church in Chemainus. The musical gala begins at 2 p.m. June 16 in the intimate setting of the 1891 heritage church. The program includes a variety of beautiful masterpieces for solo and small ensembles, as well as an occasional bit of hilarious musical fluff, say those scheduled to perform. From Andrea Ramsey’s Wake Me A Song, to Bach’s Minuets I & II, from Cello Suite No. 1, Liszt’s Liebestraume No. 3 and favourites like Girl from Ipanema, the show promises to have something for all music lovers. Following the performance, there will be a “delicious” Meet the Artists Reception. Tickets are $15 in advance or 20
bucks at the door and are available at Valley Vines to Wines in Mill Bay, Duncan’s Ten Old Books, the Ocean Soul Book Caffé in Crofton, Salamander Books in Ladysmith and the Chemainus Festival Inn in, well, you know where. Tickets are also available by calling 250-748-8383. Tickets are available at Owl’s Nest Bakery Bistro in Chemainus at the advance price of $15 until one hour before concert time.

Sportspeople in the spotlight at Cow High ATHLETIC AWARDS:
Grads take top honours in annual celebration of sports KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Cowichan Secondary School’s 2012/13 Sportsperson of the Year didn’t play on a team during his high school years, but had an impact on nearly every team during that time. Foster Schlienz, whose contributions off the field, floor and ice were innumerable, was given the honour — one of the school’s top awards — during celebrations at the Cowichan Golf & Country Club last Thursday. “It’s surreal,” he said. “I never thought I would get something like this. Just to get nominated is amazing. The other nominees are amazing.” Schlienz’s career with Thunderbirds athletics didn’t start out looking like an award-winner, he admitted. “In Grade 10, I tried out for basketball, and I didn’t make it,” he recalled. “It disappointed me a little, but I really liked knowing
what it felt like to be on a team.” Undeterred, Schlienz took on the role as the team’s manager, and things just grew from there. This year, in Grade 12, he emerged as the voice of Cowichan Secondary Athletics, creating and running the T-Birds’ brilliant Twitter account. Last month, Schlienz joined the girls rugby team on their trip to the provincial AAA tournament, where they won their first B.C. title since 1998, and he relished the experience. “Seeing them so happy after winning,” he said. “I kind of knew what it would feel like.” Schlienz pointed at receiving a team jersey from head coach Brad Skene as a highlight. “I finally got a T-Birds jersey,” he said, grinning. Next year, Schlienz will head to the University of Northern British Columbia to study business. He already has a job with the athletic department, where his responsibilities will include, among others, managing the Twitter account. Other major award winners last Thursday included Junior Athletes of the Year Josh Charles and Sartaj Dale, Athletes of the Year Samantha Jory and Cyrus Gray,

and G.D. Corsan Scholar Athlete of the Year Cassidy Fernandes. The Junior Athletes of the Year had impressive debuts at the high school, Charles as MVP of Cow High’s absolutely dominant junior boys basketball team as well as a member of the track and field squad, and Dale as Rookie of the Year on the senior girls soccer team, as well as playing volleyball. Jory was stunned to receive her award. “It means a lot to be recognized among so many other talented athletes at Cow High,” she said. Jory played senior girls basketball and rugby, and was honoured

“It’s surreal. I never thought I would get something like this. Just to get nominated is amazing. The other nominees are amazing.” FOSTER SCHLIENZ, Cowichan Secondary Sportsperson of the Year
with the Coaches Award for her efforts in helping the latter team to a provincial title. The provincial championship was a terrific way for Jory to cap off her Cowichan career. “It was absolutely incredible,” she said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better team to win with.” Jory plans to attend the University of Alberta next year. Although she hasn’t yet narrowed down what she will study, she plans to suit up for the school’s renowned rugby team. “I’m a little bit sad to be leaving,” she said of Cow High. “I’ll miss all the teachers and coaches so much. Hopefully one day I can give back.” Gray figured his name had been called enough times already, and was shocked to be among the nominees, let alone the winner, of the Male Athlete of the Year award. “It meant a lot,” he said. “I was really, really surprised to even be nominated. It just seems like a big title, and I had already got the awards I was expecting to get.” Gray played soccer and basketball this year, but felt his biggest strides came on the hardwood. “Getting better at shooting, getting better with my teammates,” he noted as main accomplishments. “I made a big improvement since the beginning of Grade 12.”
Gray hopes to red shirt with Camosun College’s basketball team next year, and is already doing weight training with the team twice a week. Fernandes has posted an 89.4 per cent average in the classroom this year, in addition to playing on three sports teams. “It felt really good that people saw how hard I worked in school,” she said. Fernandes may have taken home more hardware last Thursday than anyone else, even before she was presented with the G.D. Corsan plaque that nearly hid her in group photos. When team awards were handed out, she was named the field hockey team’s Most Improved Player, the Most Valuable Gymnast, and the soccer team’s MVP. “It was a really great opportunity to be captain of the soccer team this year,” she said. “It was the first time I had an opportunity to lead a team.” Fernandes will head to the University of Victoria next year, where she hopes to play soccer and field hockey, while studying sciences with the goal of being a pediatrician. “I really like working with kids, and I didn’t want to be a teacher,” she related. “And I’m good at science.” Fernandes expressed her gratitude to Gillian Braun, the departing assistant principal and field hockey coach, for all her help, both on and off the field, this season. Braun was honoured during the award ceremonies for her countless contributions to the school and its athletic programs as she prepares to move on to a new opportunity in Victoria.

QMS award winners hail from points both far and near KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
When she entered Grade 8, Scarlett Foss convinced her parents to send her from Anchorage, Alaska, to Queen Margaret’s School — more than 2,000 miles away. She didn’t even think she’d get in, and when she did, she planned to stay for just one year. Five years later, she’s graduating from the school, and has become one of its biggest boosters. “I love it,” said Foss. “I’m the school’s advocate. Everywhere I go, I tell people they should come here.” Despite having no equestrian experience, Foss signed up for the school’s famed riding program, and began making great strides. “I started riding when I came to QMS,” she said. “Since then, I’ve accomplished quite a bit.” That’s both in and out of the riding ring. This year, Foss was the school’s deputy head girl, an ambassador (appropriately), and residence captain. She also received a leadership award from Volunteer Cowichan. At the school’s athletic awards evening last month, she received the Timber Trophy, for the highest percentage awarded in a competition, one of QMS’s top athletic awards. “It’s actually my second year having this one,” she said with a grin. “It’s pretty good to have it back.” Having wrapped up her high school years, Foss plans to take a year off — possibly more — to study dressage in Vancouver and California with three-time Canadian Olympian Leslie Reid. It was a tough decision, but one that her parents fully supported when she opted to take the unique opportunity. When she does go back to school, she plans to study biomedical engineering, “preferably in California,” although she notes that the University of Victoria has a good program as well. Wherever she ends up, Foss will miss QMS. “It will be different not coming back here in the fall,” she said. Other major equestrian awards went to Olivia Austin, who was named Most Improved Rider, Kassidy Ruelle (Keith),

who was named Most Valuable Rider, and Alley Millar, who claimed the Woodward Classical Dressage award. Emily Cake received the Vernon Trophy for progress in riding in Grades 7 and 8, Catherine Rankin received the Dunlop Trophy for Grades 9 and 10, and Claire Champernowne was awarded the Burton Trophy for Grades 11 and 12. The phys ed awards went to Robin Fleming (midget), Crystal Leung (junior) and WanXian Koh (senior). Cate Broere was named Midget Athlete of the Year, McKaylee Catcher was named Junior Athlete of the Year, and the Senior Athlete of the Year was Juliet Westlake. Caleigh Coels received the Coaches Award for attitude, sportsmanship, dedication and commitment, and Nao Tada took the Spirit of the Royals Award for attitude, commitment and encouragement.
Breaking the ice at their home meet KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley Breakers opened the 2013 summer swimming season at home, with the fourth annual IceBreaker meet at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre on June 1 and 2. Of 52 swimmers in the club, 47 chose to compete, with 132 of the 171 individual races resulting in personal-best times. “This works out to an astounding 77 per cent best times,” coach Allison Wood noted. “Additionally, many of these best times were huge, even in the senior group.” Ten Breakers took at least 10 seconds off a time in at least one race. Sophie Paridaen-van Veen did so three times, in the 50m butterfly (improving by 17.24 seconds), the 50m breaststroke (20.52 seconds) and the 100m freestyle (10.65 seconds). Mackenna Henderson took 19.01 seconds off her previous best in the 100m individual medley and 11.54 seconds off in the 50m breaststroke; Avorie Henderson shaved 22.91 off her old mark in the 50m breaststroke, and 16.26 off in the 100m free; and Wyatt Rorick knocked 16.06 off his old time in the 50m free and 15.62 off in the 100m free. Other big jumps in time came from Lukas Bloss (24.42 seconds in the 100m free), Sofie Bloss (10.65 in the 100m free), Brynna Coogan (13.58 in the 100m free), Kali Fraser (16.64 in the 100m free), Karly Longridge (11.58 in the 100m breast), and Mary Paridaen-van Veen (20.84 in 100m free). As a team, the Breakers placed third out of 10 entries, thanks to a plethora of pointscoring races, including many top-three finishes. Kealey Scott was first in the ‘O’ Cat 1 50m

backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 100m freestyle, and second in the 50m IM, 50m free and 50m fly. Mary Paridaen-van Veen finished first in the Div. 1 female 50m and 100m free and 50m butterfly, and third in the 100m IM and 50m backstroke. Madoc Trafford placed third in the Div. 2 male 100m IM, 50m and 100m free, 50m fly and 50m back. William Townsend was first in the Div. 7 male 100m fly, second in the 50m free and 50m fly, and third in the 100m free. Brynna Coogan placed first in the Div. 1 female 50m back, second in the 100m free, and third in the 50m fly. Drake McMay was first in the Div. 1 male 50m and 100m free. Rachael Newman was first in the Div. 8 female 100m fly and 100m back. Allison Wood was first in the Div. 8 female 200m IM and 50m fly. Avorie Henderson finished second in the Div. 2 female 50m free, Mackenna Henderson was second in the Div. 3 female 50m breast, Kenzie Pask was third in the Div. 4 female 100m back, and Reid Urquhart was third in the Div. 6 male 100m fly.

Bella Michaud (December 7, 1909 – June 5, 2013)
NIELSEN, Anni
The family of Bella Michaud are sad to advise that our beloved mother passed away peacefully with family at her bedside Cairnsmore Place in Duncan on June 5, 2013. Mom was born December 7, 1909 in St. Eustache, Manitoba to Alphonse Lamontagne and Emma Desrochers. She was one of fifteen children. The family moved to Dumas, Saskatchewan in 1915. She and her first husband, Orphir Beauchesne, had six children. They moved to Victoria, BC in 1946 and to Duncan in 1951, where they operated a restaurant in the Commercial Hotel. She was predeceased in 1953 by Orphir and in 1998 by her second husband, Lucien Michaud. She was also predeceased by her parents, ten brothers, three sisters, her daughters, Bernadette Kueber and Esther Campbell, her son, Albert, and her three sonin-laws, Bernard and Joseph Kueber and Bruce Campbell. Mom (Memere) is survived by her daughter Janet Kueber, two sons, Hector Beauchesne (Donna) and Ernest Beauchesne (Moira), her sister, Lou McLean, twenty grandchildren, thirty-seven great grandchildren, eight great-great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family greatly appreciates the care Mom received over the years from Dr. Pullan and Dr. Thompson and Home Support staff, and more recently from second floor nursing staff at the Cowichan District Hospital and staff at Cairnsmore Place. Mom maintained a positive outlook throughout the ups and downs of her life. Her cheerful attitude and constant devotion to family and faith, was a wonderful example to all of us. She was much loved and will be greatly missed by family and friends. Prayers will be offered at St. Edward’s Church, 2085 Maple Bay Road, Duncan, BC at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Edward’s Church on Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 11:00 am. Our thanks to Father Alfredo. Donation in Mom’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
It is with great sadness that we announce our Mom, Anni Nielsen passed away suddenly on June 5, 2013. She was born June 20, 1926 to Carl and Frieda Nielsen in Sønderborg, Denmark. Because she was one of twelve children she learned at a very young age to speak up for what she wanted or she would be lost in the group. Her determination to be heard never stopped, and until her final day her laughter could be heard by any in the room, and many in rooms down a hall! She is pre deceased by her husband, our Dad, Rasmus Frands Nielsen in July of 1990 and step-grandson Shane in 1997. She leaves behind a son, Steven(Pat)Nielson, and their daughter Rachel, along with two step grandchildren Tanya & Tracy and their families, and a daughter Jan “Sis” (Rocky) Bradford, and two step grandchildren Steve & Kris and their families. Mom immigrated to Canada in July, 1957 on the MS Stockholm, arriving in Halifax, and traveled by train to Vancouver, soon getting a job as H R Macmillan’s personal cook. During this time she became friends with many in the Valleys Danish community where she met our Dad. He was able to sway her away from H R, but her job would be there for her if things 'didn’t work out'. Along with being an outgoing and energetic mom she found her true perfect job as a Weight Watchers representative for 27 years, always passing on words of encouragement and positive thoughts. Along with her work she loved volunteering with the Ladies Auxiliary, and being a Seniors model in numerous local fashion shows. She left behind numerous friends with many stories about her, and we would love to have people share with others. There will be a Celebration Of Life at Duncan Community Lodge(on Moose Road) on Sunday, June 16, beginning at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, if wishing donations may be made to the Cowichan District Hospital Auxiliary.
