Though tested by concerned local water purveyors since 2006, more recent worries about groundwater quality in the Fisher Road area prompted the Cowichan Valley Regional District to dig deeper into the state of Cobble Hill’s water supply. The regional district hired Thurber Engineering, whose 2011 report suggesting nitrate contamination in Aquifer 197 — the drinking water supply for Cobble Hill residents — will be shared this Thursday, May 23 at the Cobble Hill Hall. The town hall meeting begins at 7 p.m. “Although there is no immediate threat to drinking water wells near this site, we all rely on the groundwater in Aquifer 197 so we need to ensure we are working together to protect this resource for ourselves and for future generations,” Cobble Hill area director Gerry Giles said Tuesday. The Thurber Report recommended further study “to investigate the possible presence of contaminants and to more accurately assess the nature and flow of groundwater in the area,” according to the CVRD. That work began in 2012 when three monitoring wells were drilled and the water tested in the fall of both 2012 and 2013.

The most disturbing results came from a well off Fisher and Ball roads. In both tests of the well, the level of nitrates was nine times greater than the 10 parts per million standard set by the Contaminated Sites Regulation of the BC Environmental Management Act. Tests at the other two monitoring wells showed nitrate results between two and three times more than what’s considered safe for human consumption. “Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are used to alert authorities to the potential of aquifer contamination and of a risk to public health,” Giles explained. “The Canadian Drinking Water Quality Summary Table states that elevated nitrate levels can cause Methaemoglobinaemia, also known as blue baby syndrome, in infants under three months old and also that it is classified as a possible carcinogen.” In addition to representatives from the CVRD and from Thurber Engineering, other officials in attendance will include those from the Vancouver Island Health Authority, as well as the Ministries of Environment and of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

POLICE briefs ◆ YOUBOU

14 rescued after boat capsizes Monday An alert Youbou resident helped to save the day after hearing cries for help in the north arm of Cowichan Lake just after midnight on May 20. The Lake Cowichan RCMP arrived to find an overturned boat on the lake. The 19.7-foot vessel had been carrying 14 people on it when it capsized. “The initial call came in by a concerned Creekside resident in Youbou that heard people yelling for help out on the lake,” said Lake Cowichan RCMP spokesman Cpl. Larry Olson in a press release. It was thanks to that resident, and the quick action taken by an off duty Victoria city police officer and other residents that allowed for a nearly best-case-scenario outcome. “All occupants were transported safely to shore, however one sustained a dislocated shoulder,” Olson said. The incident remains under investigation.

Two injured in crash at TCH intersection The intersection of Frayne Road and the Trans Canada Highway

Suspicious death a homicide was the scene of a four-vehicle crash on May 16. Shawnigan Lake RCMP, Mill Bay Volunteer Firefighters, and ambulance all responded. “Investigation to date reveals a 1986 Toyota pick-up, traveling southbound in the fast lane approaching Frayne Road, swerved into the slow lane to avoid a northwest bound 25-foot Fleetwood motor home attempting to turn onto Frayne,” Shawnigan Lake RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Rob Webb said in a press release. The force with which the Toyota hit the RV was enough to send the larger vehicle spinning. It stopped about 25 feet in the opposite direction and came to rest facing south. Two other vehicles that had been waiting at the light, were also struck. Their front ends sustained minimal damage. The Toyota driver, a 30-year-old from Cobble Hill, was transported to hospital by ambulance, as was the lone occupant of the RV. The two other female drivers and two school age children were not injured. “The accident could have been much worse,” Webb said. “Fortunately no innocent persons were injured or killed in this collision.” He said speed was “certainly” a factor in the crash.

The death of a 76-year-old Yellow Point man late last week has been deemed a homicide. A neighbour discovered Kenneth Benjamin Hein’s body at the deceased’s Wagon Wheel Trail home on Thursday, May 16. Initial investigation identified the death as suspicious and on Tuesday Vancouver Island RCMP spokesman Cpl. Darren Lagan confirmed that was indeed the case. While not willing to provide details because the case remains active, Lagan confirmed that the public doesn’t need to worry about its collective safety. “Based on the evidence and information we have gathered to

date, we do not believe there is an increased risk to public safety,” Lagan said in a media release issued Tuesday morning. He also confirmed investigators are still digging through the evidence. “ We h ave m a d e s i g n i f i cant progress over the last five days, and our investigators are confident they will solve this case,” Lagan said, noting police tape will continue to surround the residence until the completion of a forensic autopsy, expected this week. Hein’s family has been notified, police said. Those with information related to the investigation are asked to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

Cpl. Darren Lagan says the general public does not need to fear for its safety. [CITIZEN FILE]

Mill Bay ferry rescues couple and their dog TIMES COLONIST

A fast-acting B.C. Ferries crew helped rescue two people and a dog from a sinking boat in Saanich Inlet on Monday. Two people on a 16-foot Bayliner called for help about 2 p.m., B.C. Ferries spokesman Darin Guenette said. The small ferry MV Klitsa,

which runs between Brentwood Bay and Mill Bay, was nearby, Guenette said. “There was a couple with their dog on board. The Klitsa had to launch her rescue boat because the ship was going down, and apparently it sunk.” Marine rescue staff on the Zodiac-style rescue boat helped transport the couple and their

Pair of dogs menacing Bench area SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Sherri Cruickshank has already lost two cats to a pack of seemingly wild dogs roaming around Cowichan Bay Road near Bench School. She’s speaking out because she doesn’t want others to go through similar trauma. “I lost a cat earlier this year and my neighbour had shot two dogs the day after that,” Cruickshank explained. “He warned me that these dogs were running around.” A farmer with new calves, the neighbour is permitted to protect his livestock from predators. “I do believe they got my cat before he managed to shoot them. She hasn’t been seen since and they were seen at the end of our driveway at that time,” Cruickshank said. Things had settled down for about a

month but, within the last two weeks, a new pair of rottweiler-cross dogs has surfaced and has been terrorizing the neighbourhood. About 3 a.m. Tuesday, May 21, the dogs were shot at because they were after some heifers at a nearby dairy farm. “They actually had a hold of the ears of one of the cows,” Cruickshank said. On Sunday, May 19 at 11 p.m., the dogs attacked her second cat. The aggressive animals yanked her feline friend off of her back porch and only dropped the family pet after a tense standoff with her and her commonlaw husband. The cat’s injuries were extreme and it was later euthanized. It was the latest in a series of attacks. On Friday, May 17, the dogs attacked area chickens. The Wednesday before that, they got the neighbour’s goats.

“They are so close to Bench School,” she said. “I feel that these dogs are getting more aggressive towards people and I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before a person (child) is attacked.” Cruickshank said both the SPCA and the RCMP are aware of the situation. They both attended the goat incident on Wednesday. It’s going to be a challenge to track down the dogs, which the worried resident believes don’t have a proper home. “I think they’re rogue at this time. I think they’re gone feral. They don’t seem to be returning to a residence, they seem to be bedding down in the bush,” she said. “There’s so much area here that is bush and field. They seem to bed down during the day and they’re coming out at night”

Ladysmith RCMP detachment commander Staff Sgt. Larry Chomyn said.

According to a press release issued by Lake Cowichan RCMP spokesman Cpl. Larry Olson, a 37-year-old Youbou man driving a white van was stopped at the intersection. He turned left onto the highway and collided into an eastbound SUV operated by a 65-year-old Lake Cowichan woman. Charges under the Motor Vehicle Act are pending, Olson said.

Man arrested after rash of B&Es in southern Valley SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

An arrest has been made after a recent rash of break and enters in Cowichan’s south end. As a result of “intensive investigation” a 19-yearold man has been linked to seven break-ins around Mill Bay between May 9 and May 15. “The accused, Michael Brotherston, previously of Duncan, was staying at the Bamberton Provincial Park during the time period of the break and enters,” said Shawnigan Lake RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Rob Webb in an email. All seven break-ins occurred during the day when nobody was home. “Most of the houses were entered through unsecured windows,” Webb said. “A variety of items were stolen including jewelry, computers/laptops, cameras and money.” Some of the stolen items have since been recovered and police will be working to return them to the homes they were taken from. The investigation continues and Webb said there might have been further incidences that have not yet been noticed or reported to the detachment. The officer in charge of the Shawnigan Lake detachment said there have also been a number of reports of thefts from vehicles in recent days. “Please hide valuables and lock your vehicles at all times,” he cautioned. Those with information about any of these crimes are encouraged to phone the Shawnigan Lake RCMP at 250-743-5514 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-665-8477.

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Lake Cowichan residents, now having to face that they will have no doctor in the community at all by the end of this year, are still looking around for ways to attract a physician to their community. They had been buoyed up earlier this year by news that a doctor would be arriving this summer from northern B.C. to join Dr. Kerswell at Brookside Medical Clinic. But now, that plan has fallen through. Kerswell himself announced plans to follow clinic colleague Dr. Peter Postuk when he moves his practice to Duncan this year. “It looks like we’ve taken a step backwards,” said Lake Cowichan Mayor Ross Forrest. “The guy’s not coming. I think it was a timing issue. He still wanted to come to Lake Cowichan but he had to give notice of what he was planning for everything to fall into place in a timely manner. It just wasn’t going to work out. And unfortunately Dr. Kerswell is leaving now, too.” Even though it seems a

The medical clinic will soon have no doctors. [CITIZEN FILE] stiff blow for the community, Forrest is remaining optimistic. “I like to look on the positive side. Maybe the opportunity for a fresh start, for somebody to come and start a practice might be just the right way to go. “Dr. Kerswell is my own doctor. I’m sad to see him go but he’s taking his patients and it could be that he might be able to come up every couple of weeks and see his shut-in patients. He’s not trying to leave anybody hard up for a physician.” When Postuk announced in 2012 that he would move his practice to Duncan in the fall of 2013, Cowichan Lake residents launched a full-scale offensive, bringing

in experts from the health authority as well as representatives from the Valley’s family doctors to discover ways to attract a replacement for the community. That work was crowned with success until this recent announcement. For now, it’s back to the drawing board. “The Choose Cowichan Lake group has been working hard and it’s possible we can get a nurse-practitioner here. We qualify and it sounds like, through VIHA, we might be able to attract something like that. That’s a start,” he said. “It is all a step back but sometimes you have to step back to step forward,” Forrest said.

The South Cowichan community has three chances to talk about and to tour the aging Kerry Park Recreation Centre — the first being Thursday, May 23 at an open house from 5 to 8 p.m. Built in 1975, the facility needs significant repair and/or upgrades to be able to meet the needs of its users. Staff and architects will be available to talk with the public about options. Short-listed options have been drawn up as a result of “suggested next steps” coming out of community roundtable discussions this spring. “Based on community roundtable discussions with residents and user groups of Kerry Park earlier this spring, we heard clearly that doing nothing was not an option,” Mike

Lake Cowichan facing doctor-less future

Wednesday, May 22, 2013 | Cowichan Valley Citizen

OUR VIEW

Crisis point coming if we ignore Kerry Park he Kerry Park Recreation Centre is in dire need of repairs. This has been a well-known fact for years now. The floor of the arena is cracked. The building no longer meets seismic codes. The population of the area in which it sits has doubled since it was built in the 1970s, and even things like change rooms and meeting space is no longer adequate to serve the community demand. Unfortunately, doing something about the problems has been anything but easy.

There are a number of issues standing in the way. Regional recreation questions — centring on who will foot the bill for which facilities in the Valley — left many unwilling to commit. A referendum in 2009, which would have brought about the needed repairs, also included adding a pool to the facility. The referendum was defeated, with many against adding the aquatic facility. Then there is the small group who are always against spending any money on anything. Whether or not that means see-

OTHER VIEWS

ing the centre fall down around our collective ears doesn’t seem to make a dent in the zero-spend mentality of this lot. So now the Kerry Park question is being brought back before the public for a series of open houses. We strongly encourage people to go and have a look and give their comments and suggestions. All too often, it seems, these types of things fail at the 11th hour because people claim not to have known about it until their only recourse to voice their disagreement is a “no” vote that tanks the entire project.

This is the stage where you can still have meaningful input, and if you don’t agree with what’s being suggested, here is the chance to help to change the plans to something you will be able to support. It still may not go all your way, as any community project almost inevitably requires compromise. But, if you participate, you may be able to get enough of what you want to finally help get this show on the road. If we want to still have a recreation centre in the southern Valley a few years from now, we need to make this work.

Yet another of our communities is facing uncertainty with regards to their water. A report to the CVRD is indicating that while there is no immediate danger for those drinking water in Cobble Hill, there are some red flags popping up that could indicate contamination issues with the aquifer serving the area. There is nothing more vital to life than water, and we are seeing the consequences of not doing enough to protect it. We need to do better from now on.

Water, water everywhere

What are the facts on dirty dirt? The CVRD efforts to find a dump site for contaminated waste is commendable; a society that creates waste should be prepared to dispose of it. (Ref. Ms. Simpson’s news item.) The South Island Aggregates dump site discussion has been long on generalities and short on facts. No maps support the discussion by showing the dump site in relation to water courses and topographic contours. An informed public needs to know: • What are the contaminants in this soil? • What are the contaminant levels, are they water soluble and

how do they compare to acceptable limits? • Who set these limits and what has been the effect, if any, of these contaminants in other locations? Those wondering where I am coming from should check out the ABC documentary Are We Scaring Ourselves To Death. This work illustrates situations where the media, seeking to be sensational, creates scary but unresearched presentations. The concerned public then pressures politicians to pass safety and environmental laws that have no basis in science. While looking for a waste site, the CVRD should add some funding to find a site on Vancouver Island for our garbage. It is

outrageous that thousands of tonnes of our garbage are transported hundreds of kilometres to a site in southern Washington state. We should all cringe every time something is thrown in the garbage, knowing that it is about to take a costly, long trip. Anyone concerned about carbon dioxide produced by the transportation industry should protest the present carbon foot print of our garbage!

Last year, entomologists told us that 2012 was the peak of the cycle for the tent caterpillar. I am confused, as this year, Cowichan Bay trees are festooned with caterpillar tents and I don’t think I have ever seen so many. Previously, my organic inexpensive-to-FREE method of dealing with these grubs was to prune off the effected branches, wrap them in newspaper, and burn them. With the growing disgruntlement of smoke in Cowichan Valley — why are we banning smoke and not banning chem trails, and is smoke really so bad when we are experiencing high pressure weather systems? — I am reluctant to cremate these wigglers and the thought of boiling them makes me feel squeamish. I am wondering if readers have found any other inexpensive, pleasant, organic solutions that work. I have considered cooking them in black garbage bags, and I suppose that the resulting soup would be sent out with the trash; not a choice method for an organic problem if reducing garbage. As disgusted as I am with these defoliators, I would prefer a quick death for them. However, I am not averse to using Bt, but think it might be an expensive solution and it must be used when the caterpillars are young. And personally, I don’t wish to give these voracious eaters the opportunity to munch on the leaves which they have to do for the Bt to work. Does anybody have a tried and true inexpensive solution?

Dump site a poor choice Re: Draft permit to South Island Aggregates on the Malahat to dump 100,000 tonnes a year, up to 5 million tonnes over 50 years, of contaminated waste into the Shawnigan lake watershed and ultimately the Saanich Peninsula. When you examine aerial photos of the South Island Aggregates quarry site, perched high on a hill above Shawnigan Lake, with Shawnigan Creek flowing right through this site, it is obviously an abysmal choice for a contaminated waste site. Please consider this: not only will the Shawnigan watershed be contaminated, but as it empties into the Saanich Inlet, all of eastern Vancouver Island will ultimately be affected. Chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenals, (PCB’s), benzene, toluene, dioxins, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic will be leaching forever into the Shawnigan watershed and ultimately infiltrate the Saanich inlet. It will recircle to haunt

Time to wake up to wild salmon crisis On Saturday night [May 18], my husband and myself will be attending the gala fundraiser at the Oceanfront Suites Resort in Cowichan Bay. This is a fundraiser to support the work of Alexandra Morton and her fight for our B.C. wild salmon. Unfortunately I find in talking to people, most people are unaware of the state of our wild salmon fishery on this coast. This is somewhat understandable because it appears our mainstream media do not address it. Why is this? To me it is extremely newsworthy! There is a new documentary that has been produced by Salmon are Sacred and directed by Twyla Roscovich which illustrates extremely well what has and is going on. It can be viewed on the Internet, under Salmon Confidential.ca and I highly recommend you watch it if you haven’t already.

which will be susceptible to solution weathering from acidic landfill leachate. These fractured rocks provide little protection for the underlying aquifer.” The Frostads, two geologists well versed on Southern Vancouver geology, have cited in their analysis that water well (tag # 95485) located 300 metres from the quarry site, has abundant calcite (limestone) content. This corroborates the common knowledge that the SIA site is above a vein of porous limestone that runs down the eastern side of Vancouver Island and ends at Bamberton. This evidence needs to be addressed before we end up destroying our precious salmon run at Goldstream which is adjacent to Bamberton, to name just one possibility from this negligent permit.

their May 8 meeting, they allocated $180,000 worth of local gas tax money to find a spot for a contaminated soil dumping site. This $180,000 had been previously allocated for a composting site. Aside from the fact that other municipalities are using the gas taxes for better transit, bike trails, community gardens and other green initiatives, the fact that might blow your mind is that the board voted 12-3 on the motion! So while the citizens of Shawnigan Lake have made it clear that we have to protect our watersheds, those cries have fallen on 12 deaf ears at the CVRD. Matteus Clement Cobble Hill

If approved, OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 3564 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3565 would permit both seasonal and year round residency on the subject properties. Under the existing zoning, the cottages can only be occupied by any one individual or family for up to a maximum of 22 weeks in a calendar year. A covenant would be in place that would prohibit further subdivision of the remainder of the lands until such a time as the subject properties become part of a CVRD Community Sewer System and a CVRD Community Water System. A covenant would also be in place regarding the establishment of an east-west trail corridor on the upland portion of the property that is undeveloped. A public hearing was held for the subject amendment bylaws on October 18, 2012. In response to concerns raised at the hearing regarding traffic and road safety, the applicant has proposed a contribution of $50,000 to be used for future road and intersection improvements or pedestrian safety upgrades. The contribution would be secured by a covenant and would be payable prior to subdivision of the undeveloped land. The CVRD Board has directed that a second public hearing be held so the public can comment on the contribution and the proposed amendment bylaws. At the public hearing, all persons who deem their interests affected by the proposed amendments will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions on matters contained therein, before representatives of the Regional Board. Prior to the public hearing, written comments on the bylaws may be faxed to 250-746-2621, e-mailed to ds@cvrd.bc.ca, or mailed and/or deposited at the Regional District offices up to 4:30 p.m. on the day of the hearing. For further information, please call Dana Leitch, Planner II, Planning & Development Department, at 250-746-2620. The public hearing on May 27, 2013, is to be held by Director P. Weaver, Director I. Morrison and Director M. Dorey as delegates of the Board. A copy of the proposed Bylaws, the resolution delegating the holding of the public hearing, and other documents that may be considered by the Board in determining whether to adopt the Bylaws are available for public inspection at the Regional District Planning & Development Department office, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, from Wednesday, May 15, 2013, to Monday, May 27, 2013, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Monday, May 20, 2013, being the Victoria Day Statutory Holiday.

North Cowichan council water stance waiting on CVRD study SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

North Cowichan council will not follow the lead of the CVRD, Cowichan Tribes and Lake Cowichan and support One Cowichan’s push for local control of the Cowichan Watershed…yet. Council voted Wednesday to defer a decision on whether to back One Cowichan until the CVRD has completed a pending governance study of the Cowichan River basin. While on the surface it looks like North Cowichan is backing off fighting for water rights, that couldn’t be further from the truth. According to Clay Reitsma, the municipality’s manager of engineering, North Cowichan already supports local efforts to manage the area’s resource through the CVRDbased Cowichan Bain Water Management Plan. “Due to the clear interest that the community has in this watershed, the technical complexities associated with the issues identified in the plan, the regulatory complexities that exist, and the resulting difficulties that have been encountered with the implementation of the [plan], the CVRD has

North Cowichan mayor and council have decided to wait on a CVRD study. [CITIZEN FILE] set aside some 2013 Gas Tax money to undertake a governance study of the Cowichan River basin,” Reitsma wrote in a report to council. As a member of the CVRD, North Cowichan was a party to that decision and Reitsma recommended following through with that project before throwing the municipality’s weight behind One Cowichan. “It would seem logical to continue to support the CVRD process, which will fully vet the options for more local control over deci-

sions made in regards to the Cowichan River watershed,” he wrote. Nor th Cowichan Chief Administrative Officer Dave Devana said the municipality is simply following the regional district’s lead. “It’s not that we support or not support [One Cowichan’s work], we just feel that the CVRD is doing a study and we just want to know the results of that study,” he said. Mayor Jon Lefebure agreed much work is being done and this decision didn’t limit North Cowichan’s involve-

ment in any way. “The direction has been at the Cowichan Watershed Management Board and at the CVRD board, to look at this very carefully and to commit funds to this,” Lefebure said. “The only fear that has been expressed over time is that the province might want to just walk away and not suppor t financially initiatives around the watershed,” Lefebure said. “I don’t believe that’s true but that’s what this study is going to determine.”

Woman charged after car hits, damages fence Just before 2 a.m. on May 18, the Lake Cowichan RCMP were called to a scene in which a car crashed through a fence on Comiaken Avenue. The vehicle and its operator were nowhere to be found, however. “The driver drove away from the scene of the collision and the vehicle was located later by police abandoned on Hudgrove Road,” Lake Cowichan RCMP spokesman Cpl. Larry Olson said in a press release. Mounties caught up to the driver, though. A 26-year-old Lake Cowichan woman was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving without due care and also for failing to stop when in an accident resulting in damage to property.

Though he will not confirm the report that Mitchell has received an important communication

in regard to his quest, neither does he give it a denial; if the current report is true, the belief of old miners that the Indians could unfold the secret if they would, is likely to be proved correct. It was a Masset Indian who 10 years ago offered to conduct the original finder of the treasure once again to the spot where he had unwittingly made his discovery away back in 1852.

months after “Captain Gold” had set the mining community here ablaze with his stories of his island’s yellow wealth that some 70 excited prospectors chartered a schooner and with it visited Gold [Harbour] and the country round about. They spent considerable time prospecting the rough and difficult coast, with but little success — then returned to Victoria and disbanded. During their exploration of the island one of the party, Silas Lukey, an Eastern tenderfoot with no knowledge of minerals, came across a nine-inch ledge in his wanderings and knocked off a few specimens almost mechanically. When he showed the rock to his companions they laughed at him and told him it was plumbago. He took the sample back to Portland with him and out of casual curiosity had it assayed, the assayer informing him, much to his astonishment, that it ran upwards of 50 per cent. In silver. Firmly convinced that his friends had planned a joke at his expense he refused to pay for the assay and departed from the assay office in high indignation. From Oregon he drifted to Colorado and one day came across some miners there working on a narrow little bit of ribbon of exactly the same kind of stuff. He had strangely enough preserved some of his samples, and a comparison with the mineral upon which the men were working showed it to be the same — only of higher grade. He then had another assay made, and all his doubts were set at rest. Eight or nine years ago, having saved for years in order to do so, he returned to Queen Charlotte’s in search of the lost ledge. For three months he searched, but was unable to locate it. Just as he was about to leave the island he became acquainted with an Indian, who said that he knew the spot and would guide him to it when spring came. When the winter was over the Indian was dead; before July Lukey had followed him to the grave. www.twpaterson.com

Music festival ready to Rock the Woods KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

With the Rock of the Woods music festival now established on the industry’s radar, creator Dave Bain is hoping to make it bigger on the Cowichan Valley’s radar. Bain has secured bigger acts for this year’s festival, which runs July 26-28, and a new venue. Now he would like to see more local music fans come and check things out. Performers this year include Seattle indie-folkies the Cave Singers, San Francisco psychedelic soulsters Monophonics, Vancouver-based Juno nominee Hannah Georgas, and mellow Victoria duo Jon and Roy. “We’ve solidified as a music festival, more than just something that’s just here and there,” Bain explained. “We’ve become successful in the eyes of agents.” Last year, the festival moved from Bamberton to Glenora Farm. Wanting to keep it in the Glenora area, Bain relocated this year to Godfrey Brownell vineyard, after fielding offers from several different locations. He has a five-year lease to keep the festival at the vineyard. “Godfrey Brownell ended up being the perfect setting,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for a much better setting and keep it in Glenora.” Bain has each day of the festival set up around different styles of music. Friday will focus on more soul and rock music. “It’ll be more get-up-and-dancing, remembering all the greats of the past,” he explained.

Rock of the Woods is bringing in big indie names that they hope will make a mark with the Cowichan Valley audience. [CITIZEN FILE] Headlining that day will be the Monophonics. After seeing them blow crowds away at the TD Jazz Festival in Vancouver and Victoria, he brought the California band back to Victoria, and they expressed interest in more Island shows. Saturday is geared toward folk and indie rock, with the Cave Singers as the big name. Bringing the Washington quartet to the Rock of the Woods stage is a dream come true for Bain, who notes that they are “one of the

bigger cult-following bands on the west coast.” “I’ve always said to myself, I’d love to have the Cave Singers play, but I never thought it would happen,” he said. “It took about 12 emails to their agent before I even got a reply.” With more of a mellow vibe on Sunday, featuring Georgas, Jon and Roy, and an acoustic set from up-and-coming Victoria rockers Acres of Lions, Bain is hoping to attract local music lovers that might want to come out for one

day and enjoy a glass of wine and some entertainment. “I want people to be able to enjoy the festival even if they’re not into the three-day camping thing without showers,” he emphasized. Bain is particularly excited about Georgas, a 2011 Best New Artist Juno nominee. After last year’s festival, he specifically wanted more of a female element, and was thrilled when Georgas expressed interest. “By luck, Hannah was able to do it,” he said. Joining the headliners will be a host of other bands, including several Cowichan Valley artists, such as Cobble Swell (members of Small Town Villains and Redwood Green covering Victoria’s Current Swell), the Royal Canadians, Sound and Science, and Johnny Galactic. New to this year’s festival is a VIP package that includes wine tasting and tours, and an intimate acoustic performance by festival headliners in Godfrey Brownell’s half-underground wine cellar. Back from previous years are features such as DJ sets, volleyball courts and beer gardens. Single day passes are $39.95 for Friday and Sunday, and $59.95 for Saturday. Three day passes are $100 without camping, and $125 with camping. The VIP package is $50 extra per day. Tickets are available online at ticketzone.com/rockofthewoods, in the Cowichan Valley at Duncan Music, Area 51 and Mill Bay Pizza, and in Victoria at Lyle’s Place and Ditch Records.

Chemainus stages Good Timber LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Good Timber – Songs & Stories of the Western Logger: it’s a show title sure to excite interest among Cowichan Valley residents. Described as “a rollicking musical revue”, this event, which takes place at the Chemainus Theatre from Wednesday, May 22 to Saturday, June 1, celebrates the golden age of the coastal forest industry. Bulls of the woods, hookers, hiriggers, fallers, whistle punks, and locie engineers will all be there, from a time when loggers climbed trees and even danced on the top of them. The Chemainus Theatre Festival is presenting The Other Guys Theatre Company’s production of Good Timber - Songs & Stories of the Western Logger. Artistic director Ross Desprez says he was inspired to do this show after perusing a dog-eared copy of Rhymes of the Western Logger, a compilation of logging camp poetry by Robert E.

Good Timber begins tonight at the Chemainus Theatre. [SUBMITTED] Swanson. Poems like The Cat Skinner’s Prayer, The Death of Rough House Pete, and BC Hiball lament the hazards of the bush. Desprez and creative partner Tobin Stokes have gathered a stellar cast for this entertaining romp through the past. The show is backdropped by

a multi-media presentation of rarely-seen images from the BC Museum Archives. Performers John Gogo, Mark Hellman, Kelt and Colleen Eccleston, Sarah Donald and Desprez himself act, sing, and play everything from guitar and fiddle to axe and handsaw. Desprez, Stokes and the ensemble have written original music that ranges from Celtic and country to folk and blues, to accompany the logger poetry. Good Timber sold out its run at the Royal BC Museum in 2010, and then toured to Washington State and throughout B.C in 2011 and 2012, receiving critical acclaim and standing ovations in every location, performing 150 shows for more than 23,000 people in 14 B.C. communities. Tickets are available for evening performances and matinee shows. Purchases can be made online at chemainustheatre.ca, or by calling The Chemainus Theatre Festival box office at 1-800-565-7738.

Four acts form festival day in May LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Ready for a Festival Day in May? The Duncan Garage Showroom is stepping up with four varied shows on Sunday, May 26. First up, at 2 p.m., it’s Mary Egan’s Musical Friends. A versatile Valley chanteuse, Egan is also a talented teacher of music and theatre and this show will give six of her students a chance to show off what they’ve learned. Tickets are $10 at the door. Next, at 4 p.m., Brian Lucas Pottie takes the stage for an hourlong showcase of his troubadour talents. Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 in advance. By 6:30 p.m., music fans will be ready for Matt Masters, one of a new breed of country singers from Calgary. Again, tickets for this one are $12 at the door or $10 in advance. And finally, the day ends with the legendary lead singer of Prairie Oyster, Russell de Carle.

Starting at 8 p.m., he’ll be performing country swing selections from his debut solo CD Under the Big Big Sky with Denis Keldie on accordion and Steve Briggs on acoustic guitar. Tickets for this one are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. Don’t wait. Get ’em now. The Showroom’s Longevity John Falkner, asked why he’s lined up this mini festival, replied, “Because I had four acts who all wanted a show on the same day. I wondered how I could accommodate everybody and decided on a festival day. Hey, it’s May. There should be a festival in May. Why not? “It so happens that Mary Egan has a whole bunch of her students that want to get up so this is good for her and all her students and their friends. Brian is just an interesting songwriter who was looking for a show as he’s going through and so I told him: if you want a 4 o’clock one you can have it. And Matt Masters is a young kid from Calgary who’s been out

here a couple of times. He’s quite an up and coming young country performer; a little bit wild country. I wouldn’t say Hank Williams Jr. but he’s got his feet firmly placed in the country music tradition,” Falkner said. And then, of course, there’s Russell de Carle. “He’s the coolest thing in town. I went to the International Folk Alliance in February down in Toronto and there were three floors of 30 rooms a floor and from 10 o’clock through to 3 o’clock in the morning there was a showcase in every room every half hour,” he said. “I ended up spending my whole time in the Russell de Carle room, just because the players that congregate with him are a walking history of what’s hip and what’s going on in the songwriting scene. I learned so much that night about who’s out there and how much these guys delve into songwriting. They’re lifers looking for the ultimate song to sing,” Falkner said.

Wall adds hockey heroes LAKE ATHLETES: Jim

Peterson and Richard Hajdu join the ranks KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

It was appropriate that the 2013 induction ceremony for the Cowichan Lake Sports Wall of Fame took place at the arena, as the two newest members are a pair of the town’s biggest hockey heroes. Richard Hajdu, whose career took him from Cowichan Lake Minor Hockey to the National Hockey League, joined Jim Peterson, a star with the intermediate Lakers who went on to build the March Meadows golf course, as the latest inductees. “The selection committee puts a lot of thought into who goes up on that wall,” said Lake Cowichan Mayor Ross Forrest, himself a member of the committee. “We don’t take this lightly, who gets selected.” Hajdu went from playing minor hockey in Lake Cowichan to the junior ranks with the Kamloops Junior Oilers and Victoria Cougars. After scoring 22 goals and 36 assists for 58 points with Kamloops in 1982/83, the right wing was picked by the Buffalo Sabres 34th overall in the second round of the NHL Entry Draft. When his junior career ended in 1985, he made the jump to the professional ranks with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. He was called up to the Sabres for three games in 1985/86

and two more the following season, and won an AHL title with the Americans in 1986/87. He went on to play with the Canadian national team and in Austria before wrapping up his career with the Dallas Freeze of the Central Hockey League in 1992/93. After his playing days ended, he spent some time coaching the junior A Cowichan Valley Capitals. “Growing up in Lake Cowichan was a great experience,” said Hajdu, recalling the friendly arena staff and the unconditional support he received throughout his career. Hajdu also remembered watching Lakers games, which may have included Peterson, although he didn’t remember a lot of details.

“Being a kid at the time, all you paid attention to was the fights.” Peterson’s plaque calls him Lake Cowichan’s “first hometown hero,” from the days when he skated with the intermediate A Lakers. Peterson captained the Lakers in their inaugural season and was named both the MVP of the Vancouver Island Intermediate Hockey League and the Lakers’ most popular player, as voted on by fans. Peterson also built the March Meadows golf course, which he continues to own, along with his wife, Carol. “This is tough for me,” he said after Forrest read the inscription on Peterson’s Wall of Fame plaque. “I never had anyone blow smoke at me like that before.”

Former Cowichan Valley Capital and Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey product Chase Kaiser is bound for the post-secondary ranks. After wrapping up his junior career last season, Kaiser has signed on with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s Trojans, based in Calgary. Kaiser split last season between the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies and the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s Westshore Wolves. It was through the Grizzlies that he secured the scholarship to SAIT. “I gave [SAIT head coach Ken Babey] Chase’s credentials, his stats, height and weight, and Ken came back and said he was interested, and could I send his transcripts,” said Butch Boucher, an education advisor for the Grizzlies. Kaiser played for the Caps in 2009/10 and 2010/11, recording 22 goals and 21 assists for 43 points in 116 games. He had 47 points in

86 games in two seasons with the Grizzlies, then finished his career with the Westshore Wolves, scoring three goals and adding seven helpers for 10 points in seven contests. According to Boucher, Kaiser will enroll in a power engineering course at SAIT. His deal with the school pays his tuition and books, as well as all his hockey expenses. Players are responsible only for their lodging. The Canadian college route is certainly a viable option as opposed to the NCAA or Canadian Interuniversity Sport, said Boucher. “A lot of kids don’t want to go to university,” he noted. “Chase had the marks, but that wasn’t the route he wanted to go.” Mikael Jung, who played three of the last four seasons with the Capitals, has also secured a scholarship to SAIT for next year. Former Caps Clinton Pettapiece and Darrin Robak were on last year’s team that made it to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference final.

Riders from Queen Margaret’s School collected a huge number of honours as the school’s equestrian division hosted the QMS Classic, a four-day event that wrapped up on Mother’s Day. “All our riders performed well,” said QMS head coach Cheryl Keith. “Everyone was really positive and displayed exemplary sportsmanship.” Keith was among the award-winners, receiving champion honours in the Scrapbookin’ Adventures Pre Green Hunter division on Go Shorty.

After beating Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’s record for goals in a season in the B.C. Major Midget League, Colton Kehler is ready to take the next step in his hockey career with the B.C. Hockey League’s Cowichan Valley Capitals. Kehler had 41 goals and 13 assists in 40 games with the Vancouver NE Chiefs last season, topping Nugent-Hopkins’s goal mark by one. “I am very excited to enter the BCHL as a 16-year-old,” Kehler said in a press release. “It’s a pretty big deal. I am excited to play with a group of very talented players. I think we will have a lot of success.” Kehler, a Port Coquitlam native who turns 16 next month, stands five-foot-nine and checks in at 155 pounds. He was drafted out of bantam by the WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings. “He’s a skill player with a ton of speed,” said Capitals head coach and general manager Bob Beatty. “He’ll create a lot of excitement on the ice.”

Some of the same names were on the list of winners in the jumper category as well, including Keith on Maplebrook Koals, who placed first in the 1.1m Modified Open Jumper class, and Rankin on Go Shorty, placing first in the Cedar Vista Medal class.

T he Cowichan Secondar y School Thunderbirds made it to the brink of the provincial boys rugby championships, but couldn’t hang on through their second wildcard game against the Lord Byng Grey Ghosts in North Vancouver last Thursday. Cowichan scored twice in the first half and had a solid lead at halftime, but couldn’t keep up the momentum in the second half and lost 19-14. “This was literally a tale of two halves,” said Cowichan head coach Ron Glass. In the first half, the T-Birds were calm and had control of the ball. Some tight work from the Cowichan forwards took Zac Iwasyk across the line for the team’s first try and a 7-0 lead after a conversion by Rhys Mousley. Then it was the backs’ turn, as they ran a set play and broke through the Byng defence, sending Ryan MacDonald in to score, with Mousley adding another conversion. Cowichan continued to press until the whistle went to end the first half, but couldn’t score a third try. Cowichan continued to play well in the second half, but when Byng got on the board with a convert-

ed try off a Cowichan error five minutes in, the T-Birds started to show signs of weakness. “As the game wore on, our earlier dominance was fading and the play was becoming more frantic and desperate,” said Glass. “Byng players were now breaking tackles that earlier in the match would not happen.” Another error by the T-Birds returned possession to Lord Byng, and after another period of pressure, the Grey Ghosts scored an unconverted try to cut Cowichan’s lead to two points. Byng then used their kicking game to hold off the T-Birds, who struggled to counter attack. With five minutes left in the match, Byng scored in the corner, and a frantic response from Cowichan wasn’t enough to get the tying points. “Despite getting knocked out of the provincial tournament, the team can still be proud of its accomplishments throughout the year,” said Glass. “The senior players stepped up and showed tremendous leadership throughout the season. “Next year, Cowichan is fortunate to have nine returning starters in its squad, so the ‘re-building’ process should be much easier than this season.”
