The Dominion 1 — the derelict ship that’s been called both an eyesore and a cause for concern by Cowichan Bay residents — has finally left the area. “It’s gone. Happy dance, happy dance!” said Cowichan Bay regional director Lori Iannidinardo Monday, June 24. She didn’t see the boat leave herself but, like other residents of the area, learned of its departure on Saturday. “It just went at night apparently. Someone told me that.” She had been given a hint. “I had called a week ago and knew it was going. Of course, you don’t know for sure. I’ve been told it’s been going for five years, right, so I didn’t say anything in case it was wishful thinking. They’ve told me that before. So, I was really surprised that it was really gone. It was very nice.” The Dominion 1 has been a source of worry for Iannidinardo for some time, with concerns coming to a head during a big wind storm a couple of winters back. One good outcome was that the ship lost its anchor and was then tied up to a dock at nearby Western Stevedoring. “It was good of Western Steve-
doring to keep the Dominion tied up there for so long because it was heading towards the Cowichan River in that storm,” she said. The threat from it coming loose was real. “It has fuel in it and it wouldn’t be looked after unless it crashed,” she said. “We wanted to prevent something from happening and luckily it didn’t happen. I was pleased to see it tied up there, but I was not happy that it was still in the Bay for so long.” Now the ship is on its way south for demolition, according to Iannidinardo. The Cowichan Valley Regional District isn’t on the hook for any costs, either. “No, it would be the federal government,” she said, adding that she had told the man who wanted to purchase it last year that there was money owing to the taxpayers on it. “Some people wondered why I didn’t just give it to the guy but I don’t have that authority. But there is a bill here with the federal government for the moorage at Western Stevedoring. And then the guy disappeared and I didn’t hear anything. But apparently this is the same man.

WestJet takes off from Nanaimo airport MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
I t ’s b e e n n e a r l y f o u r months since WestJet Encore announced it would begin daily non-stop service from Nanaimo to Calgary, and on Monday that dream became a reality. The Nanaimo Airport team had been working hard in preparation of the new service, president and CEO of the Nanaimo Airport, Mike Hooper, told a crowd of about 50 people at a recent DuncanCowichan Chamber of Commerce luncheon held at the Quamichan Inn. “Developing service is key to Nanaimo Airport’s continued growth to ensure safe, reliable transportation for Central Vancouver Island residents,”
he said Thursday. The inaugural flight — from Nanaimo to Calgary — happened Monday morning amid a community celebration. About 30 mid-Island dignitaries were scheduled to fly to Calgary on the inaugural trip as part of a trade mission to sell Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley to Calgary business, but that number was reduced to a handful because of severe flooding in the Alberta city. The Nanaimo Airport serves a population base of about 250,000 and the YCD service area extends from Nanaimo to Qualicum, west to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, to Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, said Hooper, who noted YCD was one of 34
airports that vied for service with WestJet — one of only two B.C. cities, Fort St. John now has service to Vancouver and Calgary by Encore. “From Qualicum to Cobble Hill…we haven’t done a good job servicing their needs [and] that’s what we’re focusing on now,” Hooper told the luncheon crowd. “I know there’s a desire from people who live there to reach holiday locations. H o o p e r, wh o h a s been at the helm of the rapidly growing airport since 2006, said WestJet announced its new Nanaimo-Calgary service in February and will have a single flight each day from
each city, leaving Calgary at 11 a.m. local time, and arriving in Nanaimo at 11:45 a.m. before departing again for Calgary at 12:30 p.m. WestJet is using the Canadian-built Bombardier Q400 NextGen plane for the route. The turboprop aircraft holds 78 passengers.

Brian Branting, Energy Manager for the Cowichan Valley School District, has won the 2013 Power Smart Torchbearer Award from BC Hydro. The award recognizes one B.C. individual each year as a leader in promoting strategic energy management, transforming the K-12 education sector by creating conservation cultures, and elevating the energy management profession in B.C. As the longest serving energy manager sponsored by BC Hydro, Branting has “established a legacy of conservation, sustainability and energy efficiency in the school district,” according to Hydro’s Wayne Cousins, who made the presentation at the June 19 school board meeting. Cousins noted that almost 30 per cent of the district’s annual facilities grant has been allocated to energy efficiency projects which save the district considerable money. Branting is also a popular mentor in student power-saving initiatives.

apparently taking it to Mexico.” The bill for moorage at Cowichan Bay could cost the owner $200-$300 per day. Iannidinardo said she’s hoping the boat will now be demolished in a safe way. “It’s cleared out of here now and I’m happy but I’m a little nervous about where it’s going and how they decommission it and that it’s being done appropriately. I worry that it’s not going to be done right. It would be great if someone would follow it through and see that it’s done appropriately but I don’t have that authority,” she said. Meanwhile, around Cow Bay, the departure was greeted with delight, from what the area director heard. Residents had been keeping
a close eye on the derelict vessel over the years it sat in the harbour. “People are quite happy. I walk Cowichan Bay every Saturday and I heard the news that the Dominion was gone. I had to go check it out and sure enough, it was. That was really good. “We’re still a working bay and we’d like to continue as one but we don’t want derelict boats dumped here. You know the adage in Cowichan Bay, the ‘funky not junky’ thing. We’ve got enough junk. There was that fiasco with that huge concrete bridge first, and I guess they thought they could just carry on with this ship.” Don’t plan to abandon a boat at Cow Bay, she said. “If you go to an auction and get a $200 boat, don’t think to bring it Cowichan Bay way!”
NOTICE TO ELECTORS WITHIN ELECTORAL AREA E – COWICHAN STATION / SAHTLAM / GLENORA OF AN ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS OPPORTUNITY FOR CVRD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT BYLAW NO. 3697 (Proposed Annual Contribution Service – Cowichan Aquatic Centre) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of the Cowichan Valley Regional District proposes to adopt “CVRD Bylaw No. 3697 – Cowichan Aquatic Centre Annual Contribution Service (Area E) Establishment Bylaw, 2013”. BYLAW SUMMARY If adopted, Bylaw No. 3697 will allow the Cowichan Valley Regional District to provide the Cowichan Aquatic Centre with an annual financial contribution of up to $23,000 per year, or an amount equal to the amount that could be raised by a property value tax of $0.04031 per $1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements. The purpose of the contribution is to assist the Cowichan Aquatic Centre with costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the facility. The maximum cost to residential property owners within Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station / Sahtlam / Glenora with a residential property assessed at $100,000 would be approximately $4.031 per annum, as set out in the table below. The complete bylaw is available for review at the Cowichan Valley Regional District office, located at 175 Ingram Street in Duncan, during regular office hours, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays.

Have odd jobs done for free SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
North Cowichan’s popular odd job squad is back this summer just itching to do your chores so you don’t have to. If you live in Chemainus or Crofton and you’re over the age of 55, boy are you in luck. North Cowichan’s youth outreach department and its Youth for Community initiative is once again offering a free odd-job service for July and August. That’s right. Free! “The program will employ youth aged 12-18 years in Crofton and Chemainus that have regularly participated in our youth outreach programs,” said the municipality’s youth outreach programmer, Laura Chappell. Need plants watered? Weeds pulled? Fences painted? Are other household chores starting to pile up? This dedicated crew is willing to knock those off your to-do list. “While at work, the Youth for Community participants will be mentored and supervised by the program coordinator,” Chappell said. “Youth participating in the program will have the opportunity to gain employment experience and on the job skills, participate in employment workshops, and earn an hourly wage thanks to generous donations from Coast Capital Community Investment Grant, CUPE Local 358, and the Chemainus Legion and Mid-Island Co-op.” For more information, give Chappell a call at 250-246-4217.

Estuary proponents ready to protest dredging NOT UNUSUAL: digging out the channel happens every few years because of sediment build-up said mill officials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Stewards of the Cowichan River estuary are deeply concerned about dredging operations being conducted in Cowichan Bay by Western Forest Products. According to Goetz Schuerholz, the chair of the Cowichan Estuary Restoration and Conservation Association, no studies or environmental impact assessments were done before work commenced, and local stakeholders were not consulted. The damage caused to the ecosystem could be significant. “It’s totally unacceptable,” he said. Dredging has been going on for about 20 years, Schuerholz acknowledged, but on a smaller scale. This operation is “massive,” he said. “They are dredging a 17foot deep channel, which will alter and interfere with the entire flow pattern in the estuary of the Cowichan River,” he stated. Mike Cass, vice president of human resources for Western Forest Products, couldn’t confirm
Backhoes dredge sediment out of a channel in the Cowichan Bay estuary on Monday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] the depth of the channel being dredged, but said the work is necessary for mill operations. “We need to remove some sediment in the log-haul channel to get fibre up to the mill,” he explained. It isn’t an unusual operation, said Cass. “[Dredging is done] every few years because of sediment buildup,” he stated.
The work also required approval from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which was granted. Representatives from both the DFO and the provincial ministry have been on site, Cass noted. “As part of the approval
process, we have to have environmental consultants on site while the work is done,” he said. According to Schuerholz, WFP was supposed to inform First Nations and the CVRD before work began — something he says
wasn’t done, although Cass says First Nations representatives are on site as well. By the time the dredging work began, it was too late for groups like Schuerholz’s association to voice their objections.
“It was a fait accompli,” he said. Although WFP says there are DFO officials monitoring the dredging, Schuerholz said that isn’t enough. “They are supposed to have a conservation officer and a biologist on site, but we don’t even have a fisheries habitat biologist on Vancouver Island,” he said. “The closest one is in Kamloops.” Schuerholz says the entire operation is out of line. “As far as I am concerned, it’s illegal,” he said. “This is poor behaviour by WFP.” Cass said the mill hasn’t heard from very many concerned citizens, but that they do have people on site to answer questions. “We listen to the public,” he said. “We want to be a good neighbour.” Work is expected to end Thursday, said Cass. Schuerholz said a protest against the dredging will take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, outside the gates of the WFP mill.

OUR VIEW
Dominion gone but the problem remains t’s awesome news that the derelict Dominion 1 has finally been towed out of Cowichan Bay — never to be seen there again, with any luck. The larger issue remains, however, even though this particular thorn in the side is gone. There is little recourse to have unwanted derelict boats removed once someone drops anchor. That has not changed. The authorities seem to do little aside from shake their finger at whoever is responsible and tell them they should remove it. The prospect of fines or charges for things like emergency
I
moorage and pump out (both of which the Dominion ended up needing) don’t seem to really mean much. We would venture that’s because many of the owners of these leaky junk heaps don’t have much cash to lose. The reality is that many communities find themselves in the position of Cowichan Bay with the Dominion, or Chemainus where a series of barges, once destined to become the backbone of a floating breakwater, have sunk one by one in the bay after the planned development turned up its toes. Nobody wants to take respon-

sibility for these hulks. Not the province, not the feds, not the municipalities or other local governments, and making the owners do so is problematic, as Cowichan Valley residents have seen all too clearly. Something needs to be done, some kind of procedure needs to be put in place so that these vessels don’t end up clogging our harbours for years on end, disintegrating and endangering the waters around them (they can be both pollution and navigation hazards). The process that is in place is clearly inadequate.
It needs to be considerably simplified with either the province or the federal government the final stop with tow away rights and responsibilities. Right now, everyone just seems content to sit around and point fingers until the vessel in question finally sinks out of sight or becomes an imminent threat. And if it’s not a navigation hazard beneath the waves, it’s out of sight, out of mind. There’s too many departments that have partial jurisdiction, and nobody with final jurisdiction.

to reduce our carbon emissions to zero as soon as possible. Don’t believe me? Well, just asked the citizens of Calgary, who have just been flooded by unusual rain events, or the people in Colorado, who are being burned by unusual forest fires, or those in New York, who have a bill for $70 billion with no guarantee that another unusual hurricane won’t come back to destroy their houses and lives again. Wake up people — unusual, and unbalanced, climatic events will come again and again until we stop burning fossil fuels. What are we waiting for?
Knowledge of reasonable risks makes it possible to plan and prepare for the worst. We do it for earthquakes. Here is an economic risk that could play out in the next few months. 1. Recap: Global economic collapse was narrowly avoided in 2008. Then governments bailed out the “too big to fail” and infused money into ailing economies. The risks are real. 2. The derivative markets that contributed to the near crash in 2008 have not yet been downsized. Those markets are presently valued at over 10 times larger than global GDP. 3. Quantitative easing is presently occurring in all major countries. That means traditional indicators cannot gauge the real condition of the world’s economies. A global recession may be hiding right now. 4. Financial markets have risen since 2009 because guaranteed low interest rates allow investors to leverage significantly with little risk. As interest rates rise markets will have to correct to the real economy. 5. World currencies are now so interconnected that if a major economy destabilized then the rest of the world’s economies would inevitably follow. An economic tidal wave could cause world currency collapse. The risks are real, though they are higher than any other disaster affecting you personally in 2013, perhaps short of wildfire in B.C. if you live next to a forest killed off by pine beetle. I’d recommend extra food in the pantry as basic insurance. You’ll eat it anyway. And there is your local transition movement.

of Parliament Jean Crowder has sought to make some of these changes with a private member’s bill that enjoys widespread support from people and governments on all of Canada’s coasts. Progress on the issue is slow to say the least. In this case perhaps we can learn something from our neighbours to the south. Washington State has rid itself of hundreds of derelicts through legislation and action. But for now, as we wave farewell to the Dominion, we can only anticipate the arrival of the next wreck.
Only preservation will help restore balance North Cowichan Councillor Kate Marsh hit the nail on the head [Cowichan Valley Citizen Friday, June 21] when she defended her opinion that North Cowichan should preserve all of Echo Heights Forest, not just 60 or 80 per cent. She noted, correctly, that 99.5 per cent of the ancient Douglas fir ecosystem has already been destroyed on this island. Therefore, the municipal staff’s position that a “balanced” approach would be to preserve only some part of this small tract of fir was wrong. When you have already destroyed almost all of some-
thing, is it reasonable to argue that saving only some of the remaining land is a “balanced” position? I don’t think so. Since that entire ecosystem is almost entirely destroyed, a balanced decision would be to preserve everything of what little is left. Okay, I realize that the 20 per cent to be developed has been mostly destroyed; however, that land could have been restored. This same discussion about whether an action is reasonable or balanced should be applied to climate change. Since the concentration of carbon dioxide is already above levels needed for a stable climate, there is no balance left. So the only reasonable action is

Gardening could be part of food bank solution
Obituaries: folks don’t ever seem to just die
Response to June 14 article in the Cowichan Valley Citizen titled “Low minimum wage, high cost of housing leaving people hungry.” After reading the article about Colleen Fuller’s challenges in running the CV Basket Society, I felt moved to write. I read with sadness that the use of the food bank in B.C. has increased by 23 per cent since 2008. I was astonished to learn that roughly 30 per cent of all food bank users in our province are children, and that only one per cent of food bank users in the province are homeless, while eight per cent are seniors. Not surprisingly, the bulk of food bank users, we are told, are minimum wage-earning families just trying to make ends meet. May I first say that my heart goes out to Ms. Fuller for the ingenuity and creativity I imagine she needs to serve food bank users during such economic times. I’d like to believe that the solution lies in the nature of the presenting issue. With your permission, I’d like to offer an idea for consideration. What if we, as a culture, were to recognize that a self-sufficient garden is the answer to the dilemma at hand? Reliance upon conventional marketplaces reinforces the use of canned goods and processed foods. We know from a wide array of trustworthy sources that fresh, live, organic produce, along with other lifestyle choices, is one of the best ways of maximizing health and vitality (see John Robbins The Food Revolution). Why not consult with edible gardeners and organizations like Cowichan Green Community to support the CV Basket Society and their clients in planting a few fruit trees, nut trees and an organic veggie garden? They, as an organization, could also be shown how to encourage healthy soil. They could be pointed to helpful resources like Dan Jason’s Organic Gardening or Carolyn Herriot’s Zero Mile Diet. I would envision users of the food bank being enlisted to help plant various foods, as well as maintain and harvest foods grown on the land. Organizations such as the CV Basket Society could also be encouraged to purchase quality seed, or rely upon seed exchanges. Perhaps CGC has culled together a list of edible gardeners who are willing to exchange seeds in our region? They could negotiate with local community stores who, in exchange for PR, would donate gardening equipment, supplies, etc. The pebble that Ms. Fuller would cast into the pond would have ever-widening circles of influence. Her clients would no doubt be inspired to replicate these efforts on their home properties. Others might be moved to join in on the vision in other creative ways. Can you imagine the feeling of empowerment, engagement, connection, community-mindedness and FUN such an initiative would engender? This is an invitation to not only solve the issue at hand, but just as importantly, it represents a gem of an opportunity to improve upon the quality of life for users of the food bank. It’s an invitation to serve as a model for sustainable living that can be replicated by others, and to forge a new cultural paradigm. We would be leading up a truly life-affirming and sustainable social enterprise, providing opportunities for people to contribute and give back to their community. We would imbue all incumbents with the pride and enhanced self-esteem of which they are fully deserving! Could you think of a more beautiful and wiser unravelling of this tale? Just imagine...
It is 14 years since I came to live on Vancouver Island, the first two in Parksville, and the last 12 in the Duncan area. I confess to taking a morbid interest in the obituary notices and can state with reasonable certainty that in all that time, only five people have died. Apart from three who were laid to rest, all the others have passed away.

The implications are obvious to even the meanest intelligence. By passing away, and, presumably by being laid to rest, one is not quite as dead as one would have been had one been content to just die. I am in my 93rd year and realize I am on the threshold of early middle age, or, to put it more crudely, on the final furlong. I am understandably interested to know what the future holds for me. I feel a committee composed of doctors, clergymen, and undertakers
should be able to give an inkling of what we may expect — depending on our choice. Michael R.S. Openshaw Duncan

Dozens of bouquets of flowers were placed on the grave of labour martyr Ginger Goodwin, “a worker’s friend,” whose headstone notes that he was shot July 26, 1918. —TWP Goodwin. He’s the labour martyr who was shot down by a special constable under what can most charitably be termed suspicious circumstances. The rifle cartridge from the bullet that killed Goodwin is on display in the Cumberland Museum. For me, the most moving part of the cemetery service was the laying of flowers at Miners’ Row, 12 unmarked graves of miners, whose identities are unknown, who were victims of the various disasters that plagued the Cumberland mines
over their 90-year reign. To be unknown and unmarked except on memorial weekends seems to me to be a tragedy it itself. Then it was off to the Chinese and Japanese cemeteries which are situated side by side in a stand of trees beside the busy Island Expressway. That said, the sounds of traffic hardly penetrate this island of mature trees and gravestones, a phenomenon I’ve noticed before in other cemeteries beside busy motorways. See Millions • page 9

I was pleased to see that the city has transformed the site of the No. 6 Mine which is literally downtown, just across from the museum, one block over. (Think about it: a coal mine in the middle of town!) Back in the ’60s, city workers used the concrete slab covering the 600-foot-deep shaft to store their garden refuse. It has since been reclaimed as a small park with various artifacts, including two restored coal cars, and a bronze plaque honouring the 295 men killed in Cumberland mines. Last event of the weekend festivities was dinner in the OAP Hall with a keynote speaker who spoke not of the struggles of labour of the past but of the present; in this case, the tens of millions of impoverished working women in India. What resonated most with me was his telling of how workers in a ship-breaking yard had to fight for, of all things, on-site drinking water. And an ambulance service so as not to have to carry the wounded to the roadway to hail a taxi! Many of those who attended this weekend were members of various unions, the most noticeable being a flag-carrying delegation of the International Workers of the World, the famous “Wobblies” of old. With Miners Memorial Weekend being focused on the struggles of the past for decent wages, decent working conditions, safety in the workplace and social equality, it was sobering to think that so little has really changed, that, in many parts of the world, the poor are yet victimized. What irony then that the struggle of the workplace goes on, even in Canada. History is all but repeating itself as many unions find themselves having to restage battles against multi-national corporations just to retain the rights and amenities that were so hard-won by their predecessors decades ago. Some pioneering union men and women who fought the good fight of old must be spinning in their graves. www.twpaterson.com

Urinetown marked impressive debuts JOHN STEVEN GUEST REVIEW
Presenting some fine talent among the mainly novice cast, variously playful, funny, absurd, boisterous, delicate, sassy, and sweet, Duncan’s Noisy Mime Theatre Company, in the musical satire with the awful name, Urinetown, presented at the Mercury Theatre these past two weekends, has this viewer looking forward to their next outing. Outstanding in the cast for their accomplished singing talents were leads Leigh Fryling (actor and director) and Morgan Tyrell, who showed also a fine comedic sense. Sarah Kaufman as the ragamuffin Little Sally, perfectly capturing the absurdity of the piece, was convincing in her character’s incisive wit, and consistently delightful in her energetic and humorous presence on stage. Jay Davis, in his stage debut as leading man Bobby Strong, capably worked the absurd drama, including sometimes grandiose self-mockery. Cam Drake, as both Officer Lockstock and the Narrator, carried his tough-guy character well, with surprising turns. Several cast members, including Jesse Johnson and Eric Brust, spiced the production with apparently improv peripheral bits that brought happy laughter from
the audience. Productions of Urinetown both on and off Broadway have been described by reviewers as: “spoof and satire”, “comedy — often of the laugh-out-loud variety”, and “wonderful fun” (Simon Saltzman); also, “batty”, and “a fresh and funny parody” (Elyse Sommer and Les Gutman). The script includes plenty of bad jokes such as character names: Officers Lockstock and Barrel, and the evil corporation UGC: Urine Good Company. It took some courage on the part of Noisy Mime, to mount this production in this audience market, perhaps not so accustomed to absurdity and satire on our community’s stages. Perhaps this success will inspire more of such courage among our local companies. Considering that this was a first time out for many of the cast members, a few imperfections may be overlooked gladly, and this new local theatre group, Noisy Mime, Michael Paylor, artistic director, with Leigh Fryling directing this production, are to be applauded for this courageous production and enthusiastic performance. The performing arts community in the Cowichan Valley is richer for their presence; we look forward to their upcoming season.

Choir wants Lincoln Centre audience to yell Encore! MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
Start spreadin’ the news — the Valley’s Encore! Women’s Choir has been invited to play New York City’s prestigious Lincoln Center. Now all the choir has to do is raise the cash to get there. “I was a bit surprised and pleased [with the offer],” said choir director, Christine Dandy. “This is an opportunity of a lifetime for a lot of these women and they’re just thrilled about it,” she said. Distinguished Concerts International New York City (DCINY) recently announced the local choir was invited to participate in the performance of Choral Music for Women’s Voices on the
DCINY Concert Series at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall on March 10, 2014, in celebration of International Women’s Day. “A very energetic young man called a couple of times to see if we’d be interested in singing,” Dandy said. “They asked for an audition tape and after listening to us they contacted us a few days later to say we’d be welcome.” Dr. Jonathan Griffith, artistic director and principal conductor for DCINY said the Valley group was summoned because it merited the invitation. “The Encore!

Choir of 25 singers will perform eight songs as part of a much larger choir that includes an international bevy of accomplished singers. “We really will become ambassadors for Duncan,” said Dandy. But being asked is just the first step. The singers will spend five days and four nights in New York City in preparation for their concert, and Encore! Singers will be fundraising in earnest to raise the necessary money for the trip. If you would like to help, please contact Dandy at director@encorewomenschoir.com

Provincial honours Adams found herself in the blues for Valley performers GLORIA COLLINS SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley was well represented at the 2013 Provincial Festival of Performing Arts BC. The event, which was held at the end of May in Chilliwack, saw several talented Valley performers place in various events. “The Cowichan Festival is one of 36 member festivals in Performing Arts BC,” Leslie Sjoberg, president at Cowichan Music Festival, said in an email to the Citizen. “Each year in each festival the adjudicators may or may not choose representatives who have won at their festival to go further and compete at the provincial level in the disciplines of dance, including ballet, tap, jazz, and modern.” The adjudicators chose four choirs and 15 individuals to compete this year. “We had placings in ballet, musical theatre voice, vocal variety, strings, both classical and Canadian, speech arts, and three choir levels,” said Sjoberg. Here’s how some of the Valley competitors made out: • Senior Musical Theatre Winner – Georgia Bennett • Senior Vocal Variety Winner – Georgia Bennett Runner-up – Spencer Dunnison • Intermediate Strings Runner-up – Nathan Bomans • Intermediate Canadian Strings
Nathan Bomans was one of the Cowichan Valley winners at the provincial festival.

Anyone who has heard Billie Holiday sing will know that jazz can tear at the heart stings and feed the soul. That’s what happened to Victoria jazz chanteuse Susannah Adams when she came to singing out of the blues. She was facing what she calls “considerable life challenges. “I found a couple of CDs that an ex-boyfriend gave to me — The Best of Lady Day and Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue — they spoke depths, beyond all else. Billie’s music, her voice, her words resonated so deeply — her sorrowful tales echoed my own existence and in turn they projected from my own lungs,” recalled Adams, who is performing with the Belmont Avenue Trio at the Jazz at the Crofton Hotel series on Sunday, June 30 from 2 to 5 p.m. Adams, who had no musical background at all, except for a bit of piano at age 12, was a natural. She found a singing teacher in Bournemouth, England, who

But she only gigged a few months before moving to London and then Bristol and finally Canada where she has found her musical and lifestyle niche in Victoria. In the meantime she studied with Tina May in Europe, and was introduced to Sheila Jordan who she says “remains a significant inspiration and is my main mentor. “I also poured though jazz and blues CDs in the library and intro-

duced myself to Nina Simone, Blossom Dearie, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Eva Cassidy and others. “They continue to inspire me, as do the more contemporary vocalists such as Diana Krall, Stacey Kent, Shirley Horn and Carmen McRae,” says Adams. Series organizer Pat Selman said, “Susannah is a wonderful storyteller and an accomplished improviser who puts her own interpretation on the lyrics and melodies of The Great American Songbook.” The performance, which will also feature a jam session for local musicians for the last set, is at the Crofton Hotel Pub, 1534 Joan Ave., in Crofton, a stone’s throw from the Saltspring Island ferry terminal. The weekly series is drawing many Valley residents to discover how moving and uplifting jazz can be, just as Adams did, a decade ago. Cover charge is $10. For information, call 250-324-2245.

Eight hours of learning could make a huge difference in the lives of Cowichan Valley caregivers. The free Family Caregiver Series, offered here in July by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C., will explain effective ways to care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. “For family caregivers, the commitment can last many years, and can bring with it high stress levels and illness,” explains Jane Hope, the society’s support and education coordinator for the central Island. Workshop participants will learn about dementia, practical coping strategies, and early planning. “It is through education that caregivers understand the disease and learn effective strat-
egies to deal with changing communication and behaviours,” says Hope. “With this new understanding caregivers become empowered and they are ultimately more resilient on the dementia journey.” The free series is designed for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Running on four Tuesday nights, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on July 2, 9, 16 and 23, it covers the topics of understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia, problem solving for responsive behaviours, planning for the future and self-care for the caregiver. The workshop takes place at Providence Farm, 1843 Tzouhalem Rd. Pre-registration is required. To sign up, contact Hope toll-free at 1-800-462-2833 or jhope@alzheimerbc.org

The Vancouver Island Health Authority wants you to remember to think FAST. Getting help as quickly as possible can be key to how severely someone is affected by a stroke. “If you trea t stroke patients quickly, before there is irreversible damage to the brain, they can recover completely,” said stroke researcher and neurologist Dr. Andrew Penn. During Stroke Awareness
Month VIHA is reminding everyone of the signs someone may be having or has had a stroke: • F-Facial droop: one side of face does not move as well as the other • A-Arm drift: one arm does not move or drifts d ow nwa r d wh e n h e l d extended • S-Speech: patient slurs words, uses the wrong word, or cannot speak at all • T-Time: to call 911 “The bottom line is, if you notice sudden loss of
strength or numbness in the face, arm or leg; sudden difficulty speaking or confusion; or a sudden severe and unusual headache, call 9-1-1,” the health authority said in a press release. With immediate treatment, outcomes for patients can be much better. The miracle treatment is a clot-buster called tPA, which is a naturally occurring protein that breaks up blood clots. “If you remove the blockage, blood can flow freely again,” Penn said.
JOYCE/COWICHAN VALLEY SCHOOLS HERITAGE SOCIETY]
Heritage schools now marked LOIS JOYCE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
Phase one of the Cowichan Valley Historic School Project was started in January 2012. Our aim was to preserve the educational history of School District 79 by posting a bell shaped sign, as close as possible, to original sites of the Valley’s past schools. This project was undertaken by the members of the Cowichan Valley Retired Teachers’ Association, who have formed the Cowichan Valley Schools Heritage Society with
the financial support of British Columbia Retired Teachers’ Association. Retired teacher Bob King initiated the project because of a deep interest in preserving the educational history of the Cowichan Valley. After a year and a half of research by talking to Valley residents, looking at old documents and spending time in archives, the project has reached fruition, with signs posted throughout the school district which indicate the name and dates of the life of the former schools. This project could not

have been completed without the support of local governments, owners of private properties and especially the former school trustees of School District 79 who approved and helped with the installation of the signs. During the process many people have renewed personal connections with the old schools. They’ve remembered their place in the educational history of the Valley by recalling fellow students, teachers and all the people who have devoted their lives to the education of our communities.
Society offers help to shape the journey For Cowichan Valley families and caregivers dealing with dementia, having an understanding of what they will face can make a big difference. That’s why the Alzheimer Society of B.C. has brought Shaping the Journey: living with dementia, to the Valley. Shaping the Journey is designed specifically for people experiencing the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It is also intend-
ed for care partners, family members, or friends. “Educating yourself will allow you to gain an understanding of what you and your family members are faced with, giving you the skills and confidence to maintain quality of life, both now and in the future,” said Tina Biello, the central Island First Link program coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C..

Esser makes cut for Canada Games KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
The Crew celebrate their Sun Bowl XXVIII championship — the team’s first Sun Bowl title in seven years. [SUBMITTED]
Triple Crown for the Crew SUN BOWL: CWFL team
adds another title KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
The Crew have claimed the elusive Triple Crown of Flag Football. After first collecting the Cowichan Women’s Football League regular-season title, the Crew went on to win the playoff championships in the league, and last Sunday capped it all off by winning Sun Bowl XXVIII — the team’s first Sun Bowl championship since 2006. Not bad for a team that lost several players to a new squad before the season even started. “It has been an unbelievable season,” said Crew cornerstone Janelle Mould. “Going from not knowing if we could field a

Bowl action, we were feeling really good,” said Mould. “Everyone got lots of rest with so many players being able to play in different positions. Since last year we wanted to meet up with the Chargers from Vancouver. It felt like it was our game, our time.” Mould had praise for her quarterback, who returned to the field just a few weeks after having her first child, then starred at Sun Bowl. “In the finals, Jackie Harrison stretched out the defence, taking advantage of holes in the chargers defence,” she said. “On defence, we kept our depth and keyed on certain plays and players. It was such an exciting game to be in.” Harrison had similar kind words for her teammates. “I love being able to throw the ball and have confidence in all my receivers,” she said. “I felt more relaxed in this year’s final and was able to make good decisions on the field.” Rookie Sam Jory was integral to the Crew’s defence, Harrison added, putting pressure on the Vancouver quarterback and Check out preventing her from getting the and like our ball out.

team to sitting on top as league champions, playoff champions and Sun Bowl champions. With all the changes to the Crew this year, this winning season means so much more. “With the new look, the Crew built momentum throughout the season and peaked at the right time. We really gelled as a team; core players, veteran players and new-comers. The Crew topped the Vancouver Chargers 21-7 in the Top Flight Division final, ousting the team that beat them for the championship last year. The score was knotted at 7-7 at halftime before the Crew took control, as they had all season. The Crew reached the finals of the last two Sun Bowls, losing to the Texas Adrenaline in 2011 and the Chargers last year. “Coming into Sunday’s Sun

After completing a stellar Grade 12 year in which she led an underrepresented Frances Kelsey Secondary team to 11th place at track and field provincials, Agnes Esser will look to make her name on the national scene this summer. Esser won gold in shot put and silver in discus at the provincial championships in early June, and helped Kelsey’s team of just three athletes finish 11th among all the girls teams in the province. Just a week later, she took part in the Canada Summer Games Trials in Coquitlam, earning herself a spot on the provincial team that will compete in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in August. After winning gold in both shot put and discus a year ago, Esser was pleased to have a strong return engagement at provincials. “I was really happy with the result,” she said. “I really enjoyed the competition that happened at provincials. On the Island, there’s not too much competition, but at provincials, it’s more exciting; there are more girls throwing at my level, or I’m throwing at their level.” At the Summer Games Trials, where Esser was one of four athletes representing the Cowichan Valley, she finished first in both disciplines, with throws of 13.61m in shot put and 48.44m in discus, to make the cut for the provincial team. “I wasn’t so happy with my shot put results, but I still qualified,” she said, noting that she was hoping to make 14 metres there, but that she was “really satisfied” with her performance in discus. Esser will be joined in Sherbrooke by 2012 Kelsey g rad Jamie Ashcroft, who made the team in the 100m dash, where she placed second in the final at trials with a time of 12.31 seconds. Ashcroft also reached the final in the 200m, where she finished fourth, although she set a personal best of 25.67 seconds in preliminaries. Tia Baker, a Grade 11 student at Kelsey, made the final in the 200m at trials, where she placed fifth, setting a personal best of 26.10 seconds in preliminaries, and in the 400m, setting a personal best of 58.66 in preliminaries. Chase Peleshaty, another Kelsey grad, made the finals in the 100m, and placed fifth with a time of 11.24 seconds, and just missed the finals in the 200m, recording the ninth-best time in the four heats. Chicago Bains of Quamichan Middle School competed in her

age group at the Coquitlam meet, winning the 80m hurdles (11.84 seconds) and the 200m hurdles (28.55 seconds), placing second in the 200m dash (26.52 seconds) and third in the 100m (12.74 seconds). Esser’s goals for the Canada Games revolve around her own distances, not around bringing home medals. “I would like to throw 14’s (in shot put), and close to 50’s in discus,” she said. “Placing-wise, I don’t care. I just hope I throw well. I hope I have fun, and I hope the weather is good. It’s just a pleasure to be going.” This fall, Esser will head to the University of Victoria, where she plans to study sciences. She won’t be on the varsity track team, however, as she plans to keep training with her current coach at the Pacific Athletics Track and Field Club, continuing with shot put and discus, and perhaps adding hammer to her repertoire. “Maybe after that I’ll see if I get any scholarships in the States,” she said. “I had offers this year, but I was unsure if I wanted to go away.” If Esser can continue to improve as she has over the past year, those offers are certain to come. “It’s been great this year,” she said. “I improved my numbers since last year; I got more of a feel. Things kind of fell into place this year. I hope it keeps going the way it has been.”

Nick Kapteyn has become the fourth Duncan Christian School student to win the Jack Boersma award from BC Christian Secondary Schools. Kapteyn joins Douglas Groenendijk (2012) and Rachael and Olivia Bakker (2011) as Chargers to take the scholarship, which was named last summer to honour a longtime coach and teacher from Abbotsford. The award goes to students who demonstrate athletic ability and performance, scholastic achievement and goals, leadership and character, and participation in school, community and church. Kapteyn earned several hon-
ours this year, including MVP of the junior boys volleyball team, a bronze medal at provincials with the DCS senior boys volleyball team, a second all-star team selection at the Island senior boys basketball tournament, a fifthplace finish at provincials with the DCS senior boys basketball team, and the team’s Most Sportsmanlike Player award. Kapteyn is a certified basketball referee who volunteers countless hours with a number of sports. He has also earned merit and honour roll awards at DCS, as well as the Student of Distinction, the school’s highest academic award.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Two players from the midget Cowichan Valley Thunder will be making the trip to Ontario this summer to represent B.C. at the national box lacrosse championships. Chris Branting and Taylor Martin learned late last month that they would be wearing Team BC jerseys at the tournament in Whitby, Ont., this August. “It was really exciting,” said Branting, while Martin called being named to the squad “intense.” Both players have been to provincial tournaments with their club team, winning the A2 midget championship last year, and they competed in the 2012 BC Summer Games, Martin in field lacrosse and Branting in box. But nationals, they agree, will be the biggest lacrosse event either has ever participated in. To make the provincial team, they first had to try out for the Island team in May, which involved an hour and a half tryout. Martin, fortunately, made the cut despite missing the tryout with a shoulder injury. Provincial tryouts took place over a weekend in Vancouver, with the regional teams playing
a total of eight games. The top 30 players were selected from that batch, and they played another game to determine the final 20. Both Cowichan players went into the camp with the goal of at least playing in that final game. “Going into it, I was hoping to make the top 30,” said Branting. “I didn’t expect to make the actual team, but in the second period I scored a goal and thought maybe I have an actual shot.” It’s appropriate that at least one of the Cowichan players would score in that game, as players pride themselves on the offence they bring. Putting pressure on the defence is a big part of Martin’s game, and Branting is exceptional at ragging the ball. In addition to the national tournament, Martin, Branting and some of their Thunder teammates are preparing for the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s midget draft in July. Four players from the midget A1 Thunder — Martin, Branting, Tyson Black and Brandon Corby — were called up to the intermediate Victoria Shamrocks two weeks ago where they didn’t look at all out of place, by all accounts. “It was cool to see the next level, how they play, how fast it is,” said Martin. “We all played solid.”
Midget A1 Thunder split a pair The midget A1 Cowichan Valley Thunder didn’t slow down after their big win in the Coquitlam’s Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament earlier this month. In their next two league games, the Thunder lost 6-5 in a hardfought game with Juan de Fuca, then beat Saanich 4-3. Against JDF, Cowichan opened up a 3-1 first-period lead on two goals from Brandon Corby and one by Braylon Lumb. The Whalers bounced back in the second period, taking the lead with four goals to Cowichan’s one, which came off the stick of Taylor Martin. JDF went ahead by two early in
the third. Mathieu Jung scored on the powerplay to get his team within one, but the Thunder weren’t able to close the gap. Captain Tyson Black finished the game with two assists. Cowichan got back in the win column against Saanich. The Tigers scored the first two goals, and their hot goaltender kept everything out until the last minute of the second period, when Corby finally solved him. The final frame saw Cowichan mount a comeback as they out-scored Saanich 3-1. Lumb accounted for two of the thirdperiod goals, while Black had the other and added an assist.
fell to the Victoria Xtreme. In the Grounded Division, the Victoria Swarm, after more than a decade without winning, topped the Vancouver Panthers in sudden-death overtime. Typically played at the McAdam Park and Rotary Park fields, the tournament had to use the Cowichan Secondary grounds as a secondary venue this year as work is done on Rotary, but that didn’t prevent the event from being a success. “It was a great tournament, even though we had to go to Cow High — which by the way was excellent and everything there went smooth,” said Sun Bowl guru Chris Mann. “The teams all outdid themselves with costumes — Wonder Women, Roller Derby Queens, Pirates, Duck Dynasty, lingerie girls, Country Muffins, to name a few — and the intensity of play, especially in the playoffs
Jamie Russell of the CWFL’s Ravens outruns a Victoria Xtreme player while teammate Dana Thorne watches from the sidelines. [CHRIS MANN PHOTO] was highly emotional with cheering and tears shed for a number of final games.” Mary-Lou Sullivan of the Crew was named tournament MVP, while fellow CWFL players Marika Richard of The Wild and Jaimie Olson were named the top offensive players, along with Cari Hiebert of the Swarm. Rhianna Brown of the Xtreme, Nadege St. Felix of the Chargers
and Joanne Angus of the Swarm were named top defensive players. The Country Muffins were named the Most Sportsmanlike Team, and the Spirit Award went to the Xtreme. Mann had special thanks for Cowichan Minor Football, the Spartans ball team, the refs, Dale Carnochan, the Wild football team, Rachel Paddle, Dana Thorne and the City of Duncan.

BRANTING, Ralph Andy Ralph passed away peacefully in Duncan on June 20, 2013. He was born in Vancouver August 25, 1934 and moved to Lake Cowichan with his family in 1936 where he grew up, moving down the Valley to Duncan in 1955. Ralph is survived by Rosemary, his wife of 58 years, daughter Barbara (Cam Foster) Jennifer, Derrick & Tony, son Brian (Mary-Ann) Andrew & Christopher, and daughter Karen (Kirk Palmer) Alanna & Eric. Also his brothers Angus (Evanne), Herb (Gailene), and many nieces and nephews, predeceased by sister Marlene (Alan Hudson). With foresight and quiet determination Ralph excelled in all his endeavours: Playing baseball and fastball in many leagues on lower Vancouver Island and coaching baseball in the Valley; building his first home and raising a young family while completing his Electrical Apprenticeship and Contractor’s License during his 20’s; running a successful Electrical Business for 50 years, the first 20 with partner Mike Langtry; in his 30’s Ralph had the foresight to purchase lakefront property at Cowichan Lake providing a retreat as well as a gathering place for over 40 years, and a legacy for his family; exploring North America by motor home with Rosemary, seeing every Province and every State, and wintering in Palm Desert for 14 years where they made lasting friendships. Ralph was an active member of the Duncan Curling Club and Cowichan Golf Club. Ralph fulfilled a lifelong dream in 2012, visiting his parents’ birthplace in Finland. The family thanks the staff of Cairnsmore Place for their kindness. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 26, at 2:30 pm at Duncan United Church with tea following in the Church Hall. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Duncan United Church General Fund.
SANRUD, Sigrid Elise June 5, 1914 – June 18, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother. Sigrid was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the second of eight children born to Birger and Elise Bergerson. She was predeceased by her husband Adolf (1998), daughter Doris (1961), as well as sisters Borghild, Esther, Anna, brother Arne and sister-in-law and best friend Ragna. Sigrid is survived by daughters Sylvia Lingren (Lance), Ellen Neva (Richard), son Ron, six beloved grandchildren Steve (Clare), Kari (Brad), Scott, Mike (Christie), Gordon and Nelson, and her precious greatgrandchildren Carter, Marly, Andrew, Ty, Parker and Ryan. She will be missed by sisters Ingrid, Elna and Elsie as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Sigrid and Adolf were married in Saskatchewan and moved to B.C. in 1946. They resided briefly in Duncan, settling in Lake Cowichan where they raised their family. Sigrid was an amazing homemaker, welcoming family and friends into the home she lived in for 65 years. She had a passion for crossword puzzles, Scrabble and Rummikub, but her greatest joy was being with her family. Sigrid will be forever remembered as a kind and loving lady by all who knew her. The family extends grateful thanks to Dr. Postuk, the compassionate care givers and staff at The Meadows (Sunridge) for the past two years, and to the wonderful nurses and staff on the 3rd floor at CDH. A memorial gathering to honour Sigrid’s life will be held on Friday, June 28, 2013 at the Multi Purpose Room, Cowichan Lake Sports Arena, 311 South Shore Road, Lake Cowichan at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Frank was a humble, sensitive, intelligent man with a quick wit and a kindly, sweet disposition. He had a particular talent for music and in his youth was said to have perfect pitch. He enjoyed a spiritual life and a deep connection with his Father in heaven. Loved and enjoyed by many of his caregivers at Chemainus Healthcare Center where he lived his final years, Dad was always eager to hear news about his busy family. Born in Port Moody and raised on Vancouver Island and the BC Interior, Frank served in the armed forces, worked in the forest industry and later as a bookkeeper. (math was another strength). His adventurous, independent spirit drew him to living for a time in California, New Zealand and Australia, where he lived for 10 years. Returning to Canada in 1978, Frank settled in New Westminster, moving to Duncan several years later where he lived at Duncan Manor for over 20 years. Warmest gratitude to the staff and volunteers at Chemainus Healthcare Center for the excellent care Dad received in his final years there. He will be missed. A memorial will take place with the family later this year. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Frank’s name to the Cowichan Food Basket Society.
Passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on June 10, 2013 in Duncan BC. Vi was born on Dec 5, 1917 in Dundurn, Sask. Loving mother of Robert. Dear grandmother of Cherie, Heather and Brian Jr. Viola will be sadly missed by her many family and friends. Predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 1986 and her daughter Anita in 2000. A memorial tea will be held on Thursday June 27, 2013 from 1pm-3pm at the Crofton Seniors Centre. Memorial Donations in Vi’s memory can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
