Low water levels threaten river, watchdogs warn LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Low water levels in Cowichan Lake combined with a forecast for a dry summer season means that watershed watchers are already anxiously watching for rain, while warning that the situation is likely to become dire by late summer. While it’s only June, things are bad enough that officials have already started to move fish. Rodger Hunter of the Cowichan Watershed Board said he and others remember the extreme years when water in the river fell to desperately low levels. “Remember 2003, the bad year that prompted a plan? We were below what’s called the Rule Curve. That means how the water will be allocated through the season, starting at the weir [in Lake Cowichan]. We’re well below the lake level that is required to allocate the water effectively unless it starts to really rain tomorrow,” he said.

“If you take the long projection to what our August might be, we’re going to be well down.” Hunter said the provincial government has been approached previously on issues like this but locally it’s time to start a water conservation program. “But conserving water isn’t going to be the whole nine yards,” he said. “One thing we have learned is that the river is linked to the aquifer. Water appears to leak through the river into the aquifer. So, we’re guessing if we save water locally, if there’s more water in the aquifer, then presumably less flows through.” Another aspect of their studies has been watching the weir because storage in Cowichan Lake is also part of the conservation picture. “The water has to be present,” he said.

Police looking for disruptive Crofton dirt bike riders KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The tranquility of Crofton has been rattled by a pair of motor sports enthusiasts, and the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are hoping to put a stop to it. “There are a couple of guys on dirt bikes in the Crofton area doing their best to disrupt the peace and quiet of more than a few local residents,” Cpl. Krista Hobday said. “They have been described as ‘driving like idiots,’ ‘ripping up and down the streets overtaking vehicles,’ and ‘almost hitting a pedestrian trying to cross the street on a mobility scooter.’” Crofton residents have been calling police with descriptions of the bikes, but because they have full face shields on their helmets, the riders themselves haven’t been identified. Under the Motor Vehicle Act, the actual riders have to be identified in order for

charges to be pursued. Police have been conducting patrols in the hopes of catching the riders before they hurt themselves or someone else. One of the bikes is described as yellow and white, and the other is described as green and white. Anyone with information about the riders should contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Stealing electronics won’t pay off for thieves, RCMP warn KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The culprit who robbed Cowichan Sound and Cellular’s Canada Avenue location on March 29 might have thought he was grabbing some valuable goods he could re-sell, but North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP say that’s not the case. “The company has rendered the electronics inoperable as they are flagged as stolen,” Cpl. Krista Hobday said. “The police want the message out there that stealing items like this from electronics stores will only get them a criminal record as the items cannot be activated once the businesses enter the ser-

ial numbers as stolen.” Five phones and two tablets, all display items, were stolen in the break-and-enter. Just before 6:30 a.m., a lone male jimmied the lock and entered the store, ripping the phones and tablets from their display mounts. His actions were caught on a security camera, but the quality of the video did not allow for stills to be made. The culprit is described as a dark-skinned male with a skinny build, wearing a brown hoodie and blue jeans. Anyone with information about the crime should contact North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS (8477).

Aboriginal graduation rates soaring LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Top level educators at the Cowichan Valley district expressed delight this week that the number of aboriginal students graduating from high school has grown exponentially. Schools superintendent Joe Rhodes reported the numbers to the school board session Wednesday, June 18. “Five years ago we had 36 aboriginal students walk across the stage, of which probably 50 per cent of them were actual Dogwood students. The others received Evergreen certificates. “This year we had 103 students who were eligible for graduation, with 98 of them Dogwoods. That’s worth doing cartwheels about,” he said, and then credited Denise Augustine, district principal of aboriginal education and her team with the success. She said that it’s been a team effort, with everyone pulling in the same direction. “I think it’s a lot of people working really hard, paying attention and working together. I can’t say it’s one thing,” she said. “I know that finding ways to include and engage our aboriginal students has really been a conversation that’s going on all around the district now among teachers and administrators. It’s really good. Five years ago we had 36 grads that we were celebrating. And we were celebrating them. That was an increase even then. So, 103 this year is pretty

Some of this year’s big group of aboriginal graduates pose proudly for a crowd of friends and family in a special celebration at the Siem Lelum gym. [PHOTO COURTESY DENISE AUGUSTINE] spectacular. I’m pretty excited about it.” Another one of her reasons to celebrate is the determination of students to provide a great example. If a student is the first in his or her family to graduate, it makes that connection to education even stronger, she said. “It blazes a path for them and their families. And, in my conversations with our senior students, they really feel that responsibility, too. They have to get through because they feel a sense of

responsibility to the younger family members.” Rhodes is looking at finding the exact source of the success. “That’s what [Trustee] Mike [McKay] tasked me with. He said we need to dig in and determine what are we doing right. I can say, ‘Hat’s off to Denise and her staff!’ It’s phenomenal. It’s so positive. We’ve definitely got work to do but it’s a really positive trend.” Asked what he thought of VIU’s influence, Rhodes said, “I really believe it is positive. I believe that, with our growing partner-

ships with VIU, our kids see the possibilities. And the success they are seeing with some of the trades programs that VIU is running makes them believe in themselves, and say, ‘I am a university student.’ When you see 36 kids register for welding and 35 finish, it’s a really good news story. “And still, for many families, this is the first high school graduate in the family. At the graduation ceremony at the Siem Lelum gym there were 300 community members there celebrating. It was a proud, proud day.”

Police search for missing 75-year-old Valley man ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing 75-year-old man. Harvey Sloan, who has not been seen since June 18, suffers from medical conditions that require medication and it is unknown if he has taken the medication with him. Sloan left his residence, leaving a note for his landlord saying he wanted to be by himself, Cpl. Krista Hobday said. When he had not returned by Monday, June 23, his landlord called police. RCMP have checked local Island hospitals, hotels and the places Sloan is known to frequent. “This is not typical behaviour for Mr. Sloan,” Hobday said. Sloan is Caucasian, 5 foot 11 inches tall (180 cm) and 160 pounds (73 kg). He has brown eyes with grey hair and is missing his front teeth. He may be wearing jeans, a button down western shirt with a T-shirt underneath and a black cowboy hat. If you have any information about Sloan, contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

Number of school trustees cut to seven Cowichan Valley residents will be voting for seven school trustees this fall, instead of the previous nine. Word came Thursday afternoon that Education Minister Peter Fassbender decided to reduce the number of trustees. “This decision is a result of ongoing community input over the past two years regarding the size of the board,” said Schools Superintendent Joe Rhodes in a press release.

TWO-CAR CRASH UNDER AMBER LIGHT There were no serious injuries Tuesday night when two cars collided at the intersection of Mt. Sicker Road and the Trans-Canada Highway. At 11:42 p.m., a 29-year-old man driving a Honda Accord north on the TCH hit a 73-year-old man driving a Ford Focus as the older man attempted to make a left turn onto Mount Sicker Road. The light was amber at the time of the crash. Both vehicles sustained front end damage. and were towed from the scene. “Could have been a lot worse considering the posted speeds,” said Cpl. Krista Hobday of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

CVRD legal opinion nixes temporary use permit ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

A temporary use permit to process gravel at Balme Ayr Farm will not be issued, the Cowichan Valley Regional District board decided at a special meeting Wednesday afternoon, but the reason has nothing to do with directors’ opposition to the idea. A final decision on the permit application was put off after tempers flared at an electoral area services committee meeting and concerned CVRD staff sought a legal opinion on the validity of a vote taken there that would have quashed the permit. Interim CVRD Chief Administrative Officer Frank Raimondo revealed the results of the legal consultation to a full public gallery Wednesday. The CVRD’s lawyers found no serious procedural errors, Raimondo said, in spite of a dialogue that got “discourteous” and “rude”, and the committee had the right to reject the application. The principles of natural justice, he reported, do not apply in such a case. However, Raimondo, continued, the CVRD’s lawyers did find a more far-reaching flaw, stating that a temporary use permit cannot be issued per the CVRD’s official community plan. Thus this is not the end of the topic of TUPs, Raimondo said, as the regional district has inadvertantly issued several temporary use permits in error. In light of this news, the board voted unanimously to return Balme Ayr Farm’s application and application fee. Director Lori Iannidinardo questioned how much the legal opinion had cost taxpayers. Raimondo said he would let her know when a bill has been received. “All things considered, I think it was money well spent,” said Area E Director Loren Duncan. Members of the public were not so magnanimous. A neighbouring farmer questioned how CVRD staff could have proceeded for over

Why are we even talking about an application that is inappropriate and illegal? Why didn’t you just turn it away at the door?” he asked. Dara Quast echoed his frustration, questioning how it is that members of the public, who have been asserting that a TUP isn’t legal under the circumstances for some time, could correctly interpret the bylaws and staff didn’t. Raimondo said these are all good questions and staff will be doing a review.

OUR VIEW

Water overconsumption is catching up to us he bottom line is that it’s not looking good for water in the Cowichan River yet again this year. The past two years have seen significant drought periods that have seriously endangered the river flow, to the point where volunteers have trucked salmon upstream so that they could survive to spawn and create a next generation. And that’s just the most obvious water we can see. Our aquifers, hidden in the earth beneath our feet, are not limitless, nor are the wells that draw from them.

But in spite of this, many in the Cowichan Valley continue to scoff at warnings not to take our water for granted. It’s not just a Cowichan mindset, either. Environment Canada has some sobering information about our country’s water use. It might surprise you to know that in spite of low flow toilet rebates, and other urgings to take it easy on our water supplies, Canadians have grown more gluttonous in our water consumption over the years, not less. Between 1972 and 1996, Canada’s rate of water withdrawals

increased by almost 90 per cent. During that time our population increased by only 33.6 per cent. In 2004, the average Canadian daily domestic use of fresh water per capita was 329 litres. That’s every person, every day. No doubt about it, we overconsume. But, many argue, Canada has tons and tons of water. Stop worrying. According to Environment Canada, our country has only seven per cent of the world’s freshwater supply. Sure, it’s better than if the country was mostly desert, but

it’s not an endless supply, either. Complicating that number is that 84 per cent of our population lives in a narrow band along the southern border, while 60 per cent of our water flows north to the Arctic Circle. That puts a lot of stress on a small portion of our water reserves. In Cowichan we can’t forget that we’re even more geographically restricted on an island. Industry use is, without a doubt, something that needs to be addressed. Industry is a big user and needs to invest in efficiencies.

Vandalism doesn’t help our property taxes

against this project have spoken about the numerous derailments of rail cars carrying oil. Why? They state that an accident may affect the coastline. Whilst ignoring all other forms of potential shipping accidents. However we may never have a shipping accident or a pipeline spill. No one can prove a negative, so we will no doubt continue to hear this unprovable rhetoric. As of 2006 Canada had 74,980 kilometres of pipeline. These pipes produce little or no greenhouse gases. Unlike transportation via road or rail. Methinks they doth protest too much.

I may be a voice in the wilderness but I am increasingly concerned at the level of vandalism I am observing in Chemainus. In the past weeks I have observed missing parts on the door latches in the public washrooms in town. Several weeks ago I reported the theft of the top rail and the destruction of the fence fabric along side the Cowichan Trail through town. Yesterday in the same area there was more destruction of this fence. This time, rather than dismantle it to steal property, someone has taken wire cutters and cut a 30 cm diameter (12”) hole in the fence. Now can anyone help me understand why someone would do this other as wanton destruction of public property? What earthly use does a 12” diameter piece of black chain link fence have? I sort of get why the school kids opened up the fence when it was put in at the bottom of Robertson Street. It blocked off a transit point for them to get to school that they had used for years rather than walk over to Cook Street and double back. I am not condoning this but at least it made some kind of sense. This latest event is beyond comprehension. If you are responsible for these petty actions give your head a shake please. This stuff does not get fixed for free. Parents, teach your kids some respect for public and private property. Our taxes are already too high. This doesn’t help.

But each of us also has a responsibility. So where can we conserve? Again Environment Canada has some suggestions. Most of our water use inside the home takes place in the bathroom. So try cutting your shower time to five minutes. More than 50 per cent of the water you apply to your lawn is lost due to overwatering. Fifty per cent! Two to three centimetres a week is generally all you need for an established lawn and garden. The least we can do is get our average use levels back down to what they were four decades ago.

Enbridge opponents ignoring the facts Totally agree with your analysis of the political picture, post Northern Gateway announcement. Both Messrs. Trudeau and Mulcair have joined the rhetorical bandwagon of the dissidents to this project without consideration either to the facts or the consequences to Canada. Both sides have made mistakes. Enbridge have been complacent. They appear to have assumed that the dissidents would relate and interpret the legal facts in a responsible manner. The environmentalists have, of course, failed to do this and have distorted the situation in an

attempt to argue their position. They have ignored the 26 aboriginal groups that have already approved the project. Also ignored is the stated legal decision of the Supreme Court which states that the right to be consulted does not give anyone a veto on a project. Unfortunately, description of the law has been replaced with advocacy of a position. Human nature being what it is, this has probably led to an increase in the support against the project. We always side with a group that appears to be having their rights stripped away. Which is not the case with Northern Gateway. None of the groups who are

Town workers ratify deal

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The Town of Lake Cowichan and USW Local 1-1937 have ratified a deal for municipal workers that sees a 45 cent an hour raise in the first year and one per cent increments every six months for three more years. USW business agent Chris Cinkant said Wednesday, June 15, “We had our meeting yesterday. We brought it to a vote and it passed. Council’s also agreed, too, so we have an agreement.” It took the threat of a strike and some 11th hour talking to get the deal and the workers’ vote shows there’s still some unhappiness, he said. “The mandate was 64 per cent. There are 16 employees involved, and 14 voted. So, that’s obviously a percentage that shows there’s still some work to do, there are still some hard feelings,” Clinkant said. “It’s not a clear mandate, but we’ve learned from this tough set of negotiations and we’ll bring forward what we learned from this process to 2017.”

Water is held in the lake by the weir at Lake Cowichan. [BRIAN HOULE PHOTO] would be great, he said. “We’d like to get precise measurements so we can predict what the inflows will be, so we can forecast these things better. There wasn’t much snow this year, much less than normal.” However, there is some good news. “The lake level seems to be leveling off. Normally the flows in the river start to drop about June 15. We step it down slowly so we don’t trap fish. We’re heading down but the lake levels have stabilized, which is good because we need lake water for the river,” Hunter said.

Hunter also said local governments are already on board with watering restrictions. The Town of Lake Cowichan, for example, started June 1. And they are also planning a high level meeting. “Cowichan Tribes Chief Chip Seymour and CVRD board chair Rob Hutchins are going to call together all the water purveyors for a meeting. It should be in early July. We’ll invite the province and the federal government to that meeting as well. “Hopefully one potential approach is if things get desperate, they might want to pump from Cowichan Lake.” Things on the Cowichan are already getting tough. “Moving fish is already occurring. Joe Saysell and Parker Jefferson were going out to do some fish salvage on the edges of the river,” Hunter said. Watershed watchers already knew there was trouble brewing on the Cowichan. “We know that the snow pack was low this year. Another thing we have been doing is that we established the Heather Mountain snow course again in December and we measured it in the spring.” Better equipment up there at some point

Graduation thrills adult students LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

One of the most special nights of the year for the Valley’s education community is the Adult Education graduation celebration held at the Quw’utsun Cultural Centre. These students, who can range in age from teenagers to pensioners, are unique for many reasons but the unifying factor among them is that they have chosen to go back to school. The Citizen spoke to three of these motivated students as they donned caps and gowns for their big event Tuesday, to learn what brought them to Cowichan Adult Education to complete their courses for graduation. Trever Brownlee was delighted to be at the event. “The wife was actually showing me Adult Ed flyers in the newspaper for the last few years. I finally thought it was the right time to do it,” he said. He completed his necessary courses in one year and at 42, he’s justifiably proud he’s done it. “You’re never too old!” he said. So, what did he take to get to graduation? “I took Biology 12,” he said. “It was my toughest course.” He also took Art 12, Comm 11, Comm 12, Accounting 11, and Business Info Management 12. That’s an interesting group but he’s got specific plans. “I’m going to become a medical lab assistant,” he said. “Now, I can continue on with that idea.” He hasn’t signed up for anything yet but is in the process of contacting a college in Surrey to join their next course. What does his family think? “They all love it. They’ve been pushing me for a while but they’ve also been backing me all the way through,” Brownlee said. He’s a big fan of Adult Ed. “It’s awesome. The teachers, the whole experience was awesome. There’s a very warm feeling when you walk in on Day One. After being out of school for so many years, the toughest choice was actually walking in there to go and sign up,” he said. Eighteen-year-old N at h a n Postma took time away from his family and friends who were happily photographing him in his cap and gown, to say he chose an unusual route to Adult Ed.

“I was home schooled through Grade 11 and this was honestly the best way for me to grad. I did not want to go through the trauma of high school and here I am,” he said. What courses did he have to complete to get his graduation? “I went through First Upgrading No. 3 and Communications 11. In my second term I went through Communications 12 and Apprentice & Workplace Math 11. In the third term I did English 12 and I did Tourism 12 and Planning 12 as electives.” Postma’s plans for further education are up in the air. In the best possible way. He wants to become a helicopter pilot. “I’m hoping to start this coming fall, but if for some reason that falls through, I’ll be starting the year after.” He loved his experience at Adult Education. “Like I said, I’m only 18, so, while it’s amazing for older people who want to finish, it’s also amazing for people like me. It’s a great option.” Adult Education is special because people choose it. “That does make a big difference,” he said. His family love it. “They’ve been amazingly supportive, they’ve encouraged me to get my homework done and get through it all,” Postma said. Kathleen Marshall came around to the idea of adult education after chatting to friends. “I found out from them that there was a school that was great for going back, especially for people who had been out of school a long time.” She’s happy and proud to be part of it. “I went back there and it’s an amazing experience. All the people there are truly amazing and so supportive. I might actually go back there in September and get a couple of extra courses.” She has plans that may take a bit to reach fruition. “I want to get into a dental assistant program at university in Nanaimo but I’m wait-listed so it will take a little time to get in there,” she said. “So, to fill in, I’m going to take some more courses. And I will be going back to that school because

it’s so great,” Marshall said. Her course load leading to graduation night was varied. “I took Accounting, Art 12 and English 12 and I had some previous credits from a dental program I had taken previously at a university. I had the dental reception course and that gave me credits. I also had some music courses from the Conservatory. I got credit for Grade 8 and 9 piano as well, so I had to do only three courses as opposed to five to get the amount I needed.” Her family and friends are very proud. “I’ve had a lot of support going back. It’s been really helpful having that because it’s challenging going back to school at a later age,” Marshall said. You have to be quite disciplined. I think I have been and it’s been not as difficult as I thought it would be. I’ve enjoyed it and I want to continue. It should be all good,” she said.

Providence Farm still teaching after 150 years in the Cowichan Valley “For the past 35 years, the most important crops to leave the gates of Providence CHRONICLES Farm T.W. Paterson have been skills and confidence...” he recent article in the Times-Colonist was referring to Providence’s highly successful mix of organic farming and helping “in the restoration of spirit for those with physical, mental and developmental challenges”. “It’s about people caring for the soil — and the soil nurturing the people,” said Development Manager Anne Burnet. Providence is among the oldest heritage structures in the Cowichan Valley, dating back to 1864 when the Victoria-based Sisters of St. Ann acquired 162 hectares (400 acres) of land at the foot of Mount Tzouhalem and opened a boarding school for young girls of the Cowichan Tribe. Father Peter Rondeault, builder of the landmark Butter (Old Stone) Church, had started teaching Cowichan boys five years before and it was his and Bishop Modeste Demers’ request that the Sisters establish here. At first Sisters Mary Providence and Mary Bonsecours, who were soon joined by two more sisters, operated from a 30x50foot log building. The British Colonist reported in 1867 that Catholic Indian Mission of Cowichan District was “progressing favourably. A large number of young girls are regular attendants of the Mission school... They have made astonishing progress during the past years.” (Such, of course, was the view

Providence Farm remains a going concern. [CITIZEN FILE] of the white establishment. Not all Cowichan peoples accepted the “civilizing” embrace of these latecomers, and some residential schools have since become identified with one of the saddest chapters in our history.) In 1876 the boarding school was enlarged to accommodate orphaned girls, many of them of Kanakan descent (children of South Sea islanders originally brought in by the Hudson’s Bay Co.) from the Academy in Victoria. When orphaned boys were accepted in 1904, the girls were transferred to Nanaimo and it became Saint Ann’s Boys’ School, Duncan, Grades 1-8. The original curriculum included physical education, sports, gardening, scouting, choral and musical programs, and all boys were assigned housekeeping tasks. This inspired one lad to say, “Some day if I marry a girl who doesn’t know housework, I can show her.” A history of the school shows that, 1904-1921, the attendance ranged between 30 and 50 pupils, most of whom were boarders, and that St. Ann’s hadn’t achieved financial independence. A larger institution “more suited to the needs of the time” was built in 1921. This is the large, two-storey structure that exists today. Built by Nanaimo contractor James Green, it was touted as “one of the finest buildings in the district showing a combination of usefulness and simplicity. Large windows, golden oak wood stain and white plastered walls [give] a bright effect to the whole school.” With a frontage of 116 ft. and a height of 62 ft. 6 in., it was impressive and the chapel, steam heating, electric plant, isolation ward and a commodious kitchen were praised in the local press.

The new school had an initial enrolment of 52 boys aged five-14 and could accommodate as many as 100. Thirty years later, history came full circle with the re-enrolment of girls, although as non-residents, which increased total enrolment to more than 100. In 1956 it became a day school for both genders and, as of 1961, white children were accepted in accord with federal government policy. A century of schooling ended on June 22, 1964. In 1979 the Vancouver Island Providence Community Association registered as a charity. It leased the former school, which had more or less sat empty and neglected, to offer a broad range of programs and services for people with disabilities and disadvantages whose needs were not being met elsewhere in the community. Since then this historic and scenic property has been home to an Alternate School, the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association, St. Ann’s Allotment Gardens, a Ministry of Children and Families Self Program for young adults, as well as community groups such as the Cowichan Folk Guild and Concenti Singers. The farm now provides meaningful work for 130 adults and seniors in gardening, a general store, small-engine repair, welding, textiles, furniture making and in the kitchen. Under the VIPCA’s occupancy, the old building has had needed repairs and renovations, including the old chapel. All these years later, though, the imposing bell tower remains empty. That’s because it never did have a bell, not even when the Sisters of St. Ann were operating the school. www.twpaterson.com

THE KIWANIS CLUB OF DUNCAN ... was formed in June 1949 and has been helping those in the community now for over 65 years. The Kiwanis Village Society opened the first building in 1960. Today we have 4 buildings with 79 units, providing low income housing for about 80 seniors. The grounds of the complex are very well maintained and offer the tenants a “park like” environment for their use. The buildings have 2 meeting rooms that are used by the tenants and the Kiwanis Club.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KIWANIAN Kiwanians are volunteers, changing the world through service to children and the community. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish.

WHAT DOES KIWANIS DO? It performs community service beyond the capability of the individual; provides assistance to young childern, the aging, the needy and youth; improves communities; provides encouragement of international understanding.

Congratulations Kiwanis for 65 years of service to the Duncan Community!

PRESIDENT MESSAGE The Kiwanis Club of Duncan is celebrating our 65th anniversary of service to the Cowichan Valley, having received our charter as a Club in June 1949 from Kiwanis International. We are proud to be part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where it is located. Since our start in the Cowichan Valley we have participated in many community-based projects and activities and we are highlighting some of them in this special feature.

Trivia Question? How many years has the Kiwanis Club of Duncan held Fundraising dinners?

We continue to enjoy working with our community and thank everyone for their outstanding support. Without you we would not be able to function. In recent memory many of you rallied around us following the serious fire at our seniors’ village on Day’s Road. Individuals and other service organizations pitched in with their wonderful support and we were able to rehouse and relocate most of the residents in a few days. Thank you!

Gerry Newell- PRESIDENT

In a few months our latest project will be completed – building an outdoor play area for pre-schoolers at Wendy’s House in Duncan. This is an exciting, cooperative project in which many Valley organizations are participating. It is clearly another example of the community spirit that makes the Cowichan Valley a great place to live and grow!

V O L U N TA R Y C O M M U N I T Y S E R V I C E B E H I N D K I WA N I S A M B U L A N C E When Duncan residents hear the wail of the ambulance siren and see the gleaming white vehicle drive by on its errand of mercy, some tend to forget the organization behind the service provided to the citizens of this area by other community-concious citizens. The first ambulance service in Duncan was in 1926 when J.A. Kyle operated an old Dodge delivery truck ambulance for the Cowichan District Ambulance Association. First run was made August 2nd of that year and a Miss Day of Duncan was the first patient. Since that time, the ambulance service has, except for a brief disbandment during World War 2 been constant in this community. Mr. Kyle’s sons, Bert and Val,together with Les Duncan operated the ambulance until 1955 when the Duncan Kiwanis Ambulance Society was formed and took over operation with a new ambulance. Spearheading the Kiwanis take-over was Bill Trusler, then vicepresident of Kiwanis. Ten volunteer drivers were recruited to take over the runs. Now, with George Sinden at the helm, the Duncan Kiwanis Ambulance, with two vehicles, is providing top service for the community. Drivers at the Kiwanis takeover including Bert Kyle, Les Duncan, Ron Mooney, By Wilson, Tommy Nicol, Al Rowett, Vince Brookbank, Charlie Clark, Malcolm Barr, Roy Lowe and George Sinden. J.W.W. Smith was on hand to give the drivers instruction in first-aid techniques. But an ambulance service is not run on enthusiasm alone. Drivers must train in first-aid and use of ambulance equipment. They must do so on a voluntary basis, and they must be on

immediate call day or night. It costs money to run an ambulance service and so, once each year, the Kiwanis Ambulance Society has a fund raising tag day in Duncan and district where support of the public has kept the services in operation, liberally assisted by financial and committeelevel aid from the Duncan Kiwanis Club. The fact that the ambulance service here is testimony to the community spirit which has been lacking in many other Canadian cities and towns where political and civic bodies, together with profit-making ambulance companies have done little more than antagonize those whom an ambulance service serves.

Trivia Question?

Since 1975 the Kiwanis Club of Duncan has given two annual bursaries to each of Cowichan Secondary School and Frances Kelsey Secondary School. The Kelsey bursary is given in memory of Bert Kyle founding member of the club, who loved the arts, hence the reason for giving the bursaries to the two students going into higher education in the “arts”. He was a long-time member of Kiwanis. His dad and then Bert ran Duncan Taxi and was instrumental in setting up the Ambulance Service. Bert was on the crew when it was known as the Kiwanis Ambulance. The Cowichan Secondary bursary is given in memory of Bill Burak, a local contractor. They are given to two students pursuing higher education in technical fields. Bill was a long-term member of Kiwanis. He was the local contractor who was awarded the competive bid for the construction contract for Building. #4 at the Village.

D U N C A N K I WA N I S V I L L AG E F I R E - 2 0 1 0 Late in the evening of Saturday Feb 20, 2010 the Kiwanis building at 365 Day Road was hit by a major fire. The fire departments responded quickly as well as BC Ambulance and the RCMP. Fortunately for all there were no serious injuries and the fire, although stubborn, was extinguished. During the blaze, 27 residents of the building as well as 9 residents from the adjacent cottages had to be evacuated. The residents of the cottages were soon allowed to return to their homes, but the other 27 seniors found themselves homeless in the middle of the night, forced to leave the building with nothing but the cloths on their backs. Several of our Kiwanis’s Executive were also quick to respond and immediately began to provide assistance to the displaced seniors. While all of this was happening a neighbour opened his home in the middle of the night and provided shelter and coffee for those in greatest need. With only a couple of phone calls the Kiwanis members were SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN able to arrange immediate short term accommodations at the Silver Bridge Inn and Thunderbird Motel and within hours these seniors were in a warm room. With assistance from VIHA, CVRD and BC Housing we were able to arrange intermediate and eventually long term housing for every tenant that needed help. VIHA offered the use of Cowichan Lodge, which was empty at the time, as intermediate lodging of people that had nowhere else to go and arranged to deliver meals. Through the efforts of Kiwanis and BC Housing, within 2 to 3 weeks of the fire every tenant was placed in long term accommodations.

Reconstruction was completed by T R I V I A A N S W E R O N PA G E 5 the local firm of Lake Construction and took almost a full year. Repopulation of the building began on Feb 1, 2011 and we were fully occupied again, just over a year after the fire. During that year our club and the tenants received assistance from people and groups too numerous to mention, however, in addition to those already noted above, there were several individuals and groups that really stood out and deserve recognition again. A number of the local Sea Cadets were quick to volunteer and provided muscle and energy to help the tenants salvage belongings after the fire and again a year later, to aid in moving people back into the building. Salvation Army and Thrifty Foods provided gift cards and in-store credit to assist in recovering essential items lost in the fire. Kiwanis Club of Oak Bay, Kiwanis Nanaimo Sunrisers and Lions Club of Duncan all provided money to help replace lost items. Harold Wallace covered the cost of a moving truck to help our members transport salvaged items for our tenants. Other local businesses and individuals donated money, furniture or services to assist. Last but not least the members of Kiwanis Club of Duncan and the management team of Kiwanis Village donated hundreds and hundreds of personal hours to help our tenants and get our building back in operation again. This near tragedy certainly brought out the best in people and showed all of us why it is so great to live and work in this valley. Our friends and neighbours are truly generous and do come together to help in a time of need.

Cowichan’s most famous mustache gets a little more ordinary for charity Friday November, 4th 2011

65 YEARS C O W I C H A N VA L L E Y

Trivia Question? How many Kiwanis Clubs are there internationally around the world? T R I V I A A N S W E R O N PA G E 7

Bill Keserich’s famous handlebar mustache has always been priceless to him. How much is it worth to the public? Oh, about $10,520 for prostate cancer, so Keserich sold out for a worthy cause. The Duncan Kiwanis Club’s 49th-annual fundraising at the Eagles Hall was the scene of something extraordinary that led to a whole new appearance for Keserich. The primary purpose of the dinner, emceed by Keserich, was to raise $10,000 to supply travelling teams from the Cowichan Valley Soccer Association-the organization Keserich heads-in new uniforms. Many other community groups have benefited over the years from the generosity of the Kiwanis Club. The fundraisers have provided money for basketball teams and numerous Kiwanis projects. This put the charitable aspects of the organization into a whole new light. Wife Wendy figures Bill’s had his mustache for 42 years and yet a sleepy crowd at the soccer fields Saturday morning needed a wake-up call.

in late fall. We have had the pleasure of conducting it over fifty years now. 2014 will be the 51st year. It used to be called the “Kiwanis $100 Dinner”, and in the early years only 100 tickets were sold. Those early years were very different from the event today. It was a black tie affair that was held in Shawnigan Lake, and beside the participants who bought tickets local dignitaries such as mayors and the member of parliament were usually invited. The attraction of the dinner was of course the raffle that we always have. The main prize for the first few years was a brand new Cadillac. In those early years $100 was worth much more that it is today, and a new Cadillac cost much less that it does today. The price today is $150 and two hundred tickets are sold.

After a number of years, the dinner was moved back to Duncan and has been held at the Eagles Hall every year up to now. The nature of the event did change. It changed from a formal dinner to more of a “men’s night out” event.In years past free cigars and free wine with dinner were the norm. That is no longer the case. Since smoking has become politically incorrect, cigars are not available anymore. After the formal dinner, and the raffle is over some of the participants engage in games of chance. They are allowed to stay as late as they want. A midnight snack is available for those that stay, and of course the bar stays open until the legal allowable time for closing. Taxis are provided free to assure all get home safely. Today the main prize of the raffle is the cash prize at the end of the draw. All ticket buyers have their ticket stubs in

KIWANIS CHILDREN’S CANCER PROGRAM- RESEARCHING A CURE Do you know a child who has been affected by cancer? If so you know the devastating effects it can have on a family. Through research great advancements are being made. That is why the Pacific Northwest division established a research fellowship program. A program to provide financial support physicians to undertake one or two years of research into childhood cancer at any of 3 centres including the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver Children’s cancer affects many families. Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and with the help of research their chances of surviving have more than tripled. KCCP hopes to be a part of. As this program develops further we hope to have other Kiwanis clubs expand into their own children’s hospital.

Children Priority One Kiwanis Motto exemplified by members defined as “ a short sentence or phrase chosen as encapsulating the beliefs or ideals guiding an individual, family, or institution” the motto of Kiwanis international has been Children Priority One. That belief has been demonstrated by members for 65 years. Aside from our Kiwanis Village the majority of our service projects and support had been focussed on children – from soccer fields, to swimming pools, scholarships to school patrols the youth in our community benefit. Who of you remember the Gayland Shows and the Midway, the highlight of the May holiday weekends sponsored by the club for 30 years? The summer parade marshalled by members for decades, the Kiwanis Junior Safety Patrols, and the Sea Cadets in Maple Bay? They are but a few examples. However our association with the Guide Hall goes back just as long, back to 1983 when the club stepped forward and went on a campaign, for the “ Duncan Kiwanis Guide Hall Fund” It started with a challenge and a question. Do you want to own a piece of one of the oldest guide halls in the country? Ten dollar contribution “bought” a sheet of plywood for the new floor at the hall on Cairnsmore St. The campaign to raise $10,000 for the floor and other much needed

renovations to meet fire codes. Over the years the Hall was used by Wolf Cubs, Brownies, Girl Guides, Sunday morning church groups, exercise classes, weekly flea markets and even served as an emergency hospital. BUT disaster nearly struck in 1983 when the building was condemned by the City of Duncan Only the intervention of contractor Bill Brown saved it. He persuaded council to reverse their decision and led a core of volunteers in renovating the building Roof trusses were strengthened, a concrete perimeter wall was added, as was a ground seal, new insulation, fire exit doors and washrooms. Wiring was updated, and a new furnace room and propane heating system installed. A year later the hall was designated a heritage building. After $10,250 was raised largely through the efforts of Doug Wellwood and George Mutter to fix the roof and exterior the money ran out.; so the Kiwanis Club stepped in to finish the project with their campaign. With their effort and the generosity of the community to project was a success as indicated in the photo below. The Kiwanis Club of Duncan is still involved today running the Saturday flea markets and raising funds to continue assisting the youth in our community.

This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family. Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care.

UNICEF has reported that Kiwanis-raised funds are now at work in more than 89 nations and more than 80 million children in the developing world will be born free of iodine deficiency disorder this year. Today, the number of households estimated to be consuming iodized salt has jumped dramatically from 20 percent in 1990 to more than 70 percent. The Kiwanis family has raised more than US$80 million to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders-heralded as one of the most successful health initiatives in the world.

Crew battles through to Sun Bowl final KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Two out of three is still something to be proud of. Hoping to win the Triple Crown of Women’s Football for a second year in a row, the Crew won the Cowichan Women’s Football League’s regular season and playoff titles, and made it to the finals of Sun Bowl XXIX last weekend where their quest finally came to an end as the Vancouver Chargers claimed the Pacific Northwest championship. It was still a triumph for the Crew to get as far as they got despite facing adversity all season long. “The Crew has amazing depth, and each and every player played an important role,” said veteran Janelle Mould, who was playing in her final Sun Bowl. “We went through our share of injuries this year, but no excuses were made. Each member stepped up and filled new roles.” Jennie Hittinger stepped in at quarterback after longtime leader Jackie Harrison went down with a knee injury early in the season, and did an excellent job leading the offence through the CWFL season and playoffs. Kirstin Bains came through at Sun Bowl when the team needed her. “She is such a pure athlete that you would never know that she took the regular season off,” Mould said. “She gave us the abil-

The Crew’s Marilou Sullivan dances around players from the Vancouver league’s Sirens during an early-round game at Sun Bowl last Saturday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] ity to stretch the defence and take some of the attention off superstar speed girl Marilou Sullivan.” Mould and Alita Mattin led the way when the Crew was defending. “Alita and I have developed such a cohesiveness and we really take pride in being a tough team to score on,” Mould said. “We allowed only one point to be scored in round robin play.”

Rookies Nicole Pugh and Kerynne Bain also played key roles for the Crew, while second-year Darby Aitchison continued to show improvement. Unfortunately, Pugh was lost to a knee injury in the Sun Bowl final. “We have such a great balance between experienced and young players,” Mould said. “As the Crew, we just expect to do well. I think that mindset has been instrumental

in our team’s successes. Of course we would have loved to win the Sun Bowl and were all a bit down but we played well, so we can’t be too upset with a second-place finish.” Another Cowichan team, the Blue Steel Brew, won the Almost Top Flight Division, while the Vancouver Sirens took the Grounded Division. Tania Ropata of the Chargers was named tournament MVP, the Country Muffins were named Most Sportsmanlike Team, and the Blue Steel claimed the Spirit Award, their Bachelor-themed costumes — complete with gowns, roses and champagne — edging out the Chargers’ Orange Is the New Black get-up. Bains shared top offensive player honours with Lauren James of the Cowichan Ravens and Jennie Graham of Vancouver. The top defensive players were Cari Hiebert of Victoria and Ashley Petrie and Patti Liebold of Vancouver. Sun Bowl also inaugurated a new sports facility in Duncan. “The biggest part of the tournament was the first games on the new Rotary Park which is fantastic in every way, getting great reviews from everyone who played or saw it,” organizer Chris Mann said. Mann credited the success of Sun Bowl XXIX to the assistance of Cowichan Minor Football, the City of Duncan, the Jays slopitch team, the CWFL Teams and Thrifty Foods.

Bantam Lakers bring title home Powerhouse Renegades repeat as South Island midget AA champions KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After years without enough players to field a bantam baseball team, the Lake Cowichan Lakers clinched the bantam A South Island championship in just their second year back in action with a 12-8 win over Peninsula at Lambrick Park last Friday. The Lakers found themselves trailing 5-0 early in the game, but chipped away at Peninsula’s lead until they tied the score in the fourth inning. Peninsula added two more runs in the fifth, but Lake Cowichan pulled ahead with six more of their own. “Then the great pitching by Nic Brown and Nolan Fothergill really closed the door,” head coach Kelly Bergstrom said. The win capped off a huge season for the Lakers, who went a long way together as a team. “We started the year off with a loss and weren’t really sure where to go from there,” said Bergstrom, who didn’t coach in 2013 because his son played spring hockey instead of baseball. After a few games, with the help of assistants Jamie Svendsen and Bryan Hill, Bergstrom was able to slot his players into their best roles. “Each game we learned more and more about each player, and learned from our wins and losses,” Bergstrom said.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The bantam A Lake Cowichan Lakers celebrate their win over Peninsula in the South Island championship game. [SUBMITTED] The Lakers finished the year with eight wins, four losses and one tie, but found themselves in a tough draw. “We were put in three divisions, ours being the toughest as the Duncan/Ladysmith/Lake Cowichan division had the best teams,” Bergstrom related. The Lake Cowichan bantams made it through the first round with a division-best 4-0-1 record, with the top two teams advancing to the knock-out round. The Lakers made quick work of Carnarvon, winning 14-4, but struggled to get their bats going in their next game, against Layritz. Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Parker Bergstrom

and Fothergill walked, and Logan Wiersma hit a long double to clear the bases, then found his own way home. With the score tied, Brown got on base and stole his way home, sending the Lakers to the final against Peninsula. “We battled all year and learned a lot about these kids,” Bergstrom said. Bergstrom thanked his players’ parents for all their support. “Most of them were at every game and brought grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles,” he said. “Games became a real community event.” The Lakers are hoping to field bantam and midget teams next year.

A win over Layritz in a dramatic final last Thursday gave the Duncan Renegades their second South Island midget AA baseball championship in as many years. It didn’t look good for the Renegades early on as they trailed 9-2 after four innings, but the team rallied in impressive fashion, scoring three runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before tying the game on a two-run single by Ty Rennie in the seventh. Layritz went ahead by one in the top of the ninth, but the Renegades rallied again in the bottom of the ninth. Jordy Frost led off with a single, and Duncan’s next batter, Adam Sakuma, was hit by a pitch. Keir Backnes singled to score Frost, and Spencer Martin singled to drive in Sakuma for the winning run. “It was a really good game,” head coach Jim Frost said. The powerhouse Renegades went 10-3 in the regular season, then turned it up a notch as they won all five playoff games in the run-up to the final.

“We did well,” Frost said. “We really put it together for the playoffs.” A Derek Hayes home run was the highlight of the first playoff contest, a 14-7 win over Ladysmith. Pitchers Jordy Frost and Reiya Tomida led the way in the next game, combining for 10 strikeouts while surrendering just three hits in an 8-1 win over the Duncan Braves. Moving on, the Renegades beat Peninsula 17-6 in five innings, then crushed Layritz 22-8 in four and a half innings, with both Blair Robertson and Ty Rennie going 3-for-3. In the semifinals, Duncan got a two-run double from Tyson Eliason and a bases-clearing twobagger from Noah Bergstrom before Sakuma blasted a tworun walk-off homer as they mercied Gordon Head 13-2 in five innings. The Renegades will start the summer season this Sunday with a doubleheader in Victoria. They play a doubleheader at home at Evans Park on July 6 with games at noon and 3 p.m.

The pre-atom Cowichan Bulldogs brought home Greater Victoria Minor Football’s Silver Cup last Saturday with a win over the Nanaimo Bombers at Westhills Stadium. “The boys played awesome,” head coach Ted Harris said. “They really showed how their effort and improvement got them to where we wanted to be. I can’t tell you how exciting it is for them to go to Westhills, play their hearts out, have a ton of fun and each bring home a medal and the Silver Cup championship trophy. They were ecstatic. They deserve the glory.” Rookies and veterans alike gave the Bulldogs their best in the battle for the cup. Speedster Evan Mayer filled in for ill running back Spencer Young, and came up big with his first-ever touchdown. Quarterback Jaxson Jones scored Cowichan’s second major, which was converted with a nice running play by Treyton McCuaig-Jones. Sawyer Ellison earned two points by tak-

ing down a Nanaimo player in the Bombers’ end zone. Running back Thoran Koyote had a strong game and nearly added to the point total, but his 40-yard touchdown was called back because of a penalty. Tight end Jayden Du Temple finished off the scoring. Linemen Du Temple, Jayden Strzok, Aundre Lauzon, Eston Canning, Matt Beauregard, Kaylum Billings and Nico Harris played on both offence and defence and showed plenty of power as well as versatility. Linebackers Ellison, Parker Lawrence, Jacob Billini, Rylan Ross and Ethan Bell held the Bombers to minimal yardage, while Mayer had a sack and several good tackles at cornerback. “The Bulldogs broke down the Nanaimo offence and defence, but graciously showed extreme sportsmanship to the opposing team,” coach Harris said. Harris expressed thanks to assistant coaches Matt Jones, Travis McDonald and Jeff McDonald, trainer Moe Runzer and manager Jen Lawrence for their help.

MINOR HOCKEY report

CVMHA off and running

he Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey Association is off to a great start for the 2014/15 season. The newly elected executive committee is a good blend of new and experienced members. Our first executive committee meeting in June proved very productive, and it appears we will be off to a running start for the upcoming season, with our divisional coordinators preparing and presenting many good ideas for improvement. We established committees in key areas, who will bring their recommendations for discussion or approval to our next meeting in July. This will keep us on track for our startup in August/September. All the Executive Committee members will be working on updating our policy manual, so that all members have a clear, up-to-date explanation of our rules, policies, and procedures. When the manual is complete it will be available on our website. ••• As an association, one of our biggest challenges is the lack of goaltenders in some divisions. We are working on a comprehensive program to encourage more goalie development, starting in our initiation/novice program, where many players start. In the initiation/novice program, every effort is being made to minimize initial costs and increase program flexibility. We plan to have a dual registration, one in September and another in January, to allow for players who would otherwise not have a chance to play, or need to develop some skating skills. We hope to build an inventory of good used equipment for our players just starting out. If you have any items to donate, contact Chay Foss at 250-701-3841 or aimeechay@shaw.ca to arrange pickup. ••• We are still accepting registration for players, and coach applications at all levels; they can be filled out online at our website. ••• We really hope to improve our exposure and profile in the Cowichan Valley, by having teams submit their team’s accomplishments in the paper. ••• A major announcement for the Island district is that three-time Olympic gold medallist Meghan Agosta will be holding clinics this summer on Aug. 11-12. The full information will be available at viaha.org ••• Please watch the Citizen for regular CVMHA news. Visit cowichanvalleymha.com or email cvmha@shaw.ca for more information.

The midget B Thunder celebrate their victory in the Matt Underwood tournament. [SUBMITTED]

Midget B Cowichan Thunder tops at Underwood tourney KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The midget B Cowichan Valley Thunder went undefeated as they won their division at the Matt Underwood Memorial Lacrosse Tournament in North Saanich earlier this month. Coached by brothers Nate and Brandon Clark and their dad Jamie, the Thunder defeated their Island rivals from Nanaimo 6-3 on the first day of play and Juan de Fuca 13-0 the following morning. In their next game the Thunder built a 6-3 lead, only to see it disappear in the final three

minutes as Port Moody took advantage of penalty trouble to tie the score. After closing out the round robin with a 6-4 win over Saanich, the Thunder faced Port Moody again in the final. Tied 3-3 after two periods, Cowichan blew the game open in the third to win 9-5 and take home the gold medal. Goalie Zander Cozine backstopped the Thunder throughout the tournament, while Michael Shepherd, Jack Chicquen, Braden Grantham, Lucas Nagel and Jaeden Ashbee earned individual player honours.
