riends and neighbours of Sam’s Auto Shop are quickly gathering names on a petition in a last-ditch effort to save the little company. The owner, Amar Rashead, has been ordered by the Municipality of North Cowichan to shut down the business, located on the corner of Somenos Road and Highway 18, and take apart thousands of dollars of renovations and upgrades he has completed to buildings on the property by May 20. Rashead has been attempting to fix a number of issues on the half-acre property that the municipality has wanted dealt with as he worked towards his plan to tear down the aging two-door garage and replace it with a new four-door garage for his auto inspection and repair business, with living space above. Nick Yaremchuk, a long-time customer of Rashead and one of the organizers of the petition, said “it’s unbelievable” the amount of hoops the municipality has made the shop owner jump through, only to turn him down in the end.

“I can’t believe the travesty of justice that is being done here and, judging by how fast neighbours are signing the petition, many others can’t believe it either. Amar is a kind and gentle man from Syria who emigrated to Canada for a better life for him and his family 26 years ago. “ NICK YAREMCHUK, neighbour

Yaremchuk said, at the advice of bylaw officers from North Cowichan, Rashead had invested $70,000 in his property to remove underground gas storage tanks that were left from when the site housed a gas station, consolidate the two properties on the site to make it easier for rezoning for his new garage, and renovate buildings on the property. Michael Mark, North Cowichan’s manager of building and compliance, said

one of the many issues in the case is that Rashead decided to run his inspection and repair shop without the mandatory first step of petitioning the municipality for the proper rezoning to allow it. “I can’t believe the travesty of justice that is being done here and, judging by how fast neighbours are signing the petition, many others can’t believe it either,” Yaremchuk said. “Amar is a kind and gentle man from Syria who emigrated to Canada for a better life for him and his family 26 years ago. He’s been exceedingly nice to the people from the municipality and has done everything that has been asked, and nobody can understand why he is being treated this way.” Rashead, who worked as a mechanic in his own shop in downtown Duncan for years, said he bought the property four years ago. He said the site was ideal for his purposes, and he expected few zoning problems as the property once had a gas station on it for many years. See AUTO SHOP, Page 3

Property has been bylaw enforcement problem for long time AUTO SHOP, From Page 2

Amar Rashead stands outside his auto shop, which he has been told to shut down by the Municipality of North Cowichan over zoning contraventions. [ROBERT BARRON/CITIZEN] Mark said. John Lefebure, mayor of North Cowichan, said there is no bias by anyone in the municipality, either on staff or on council, against Rashead or anyone else who owns the property. He said the decision to reject Rashead’s application for rezoning and the order to shut down his business were based on a number of legitimate concerns.

would guarantee the property would be rezoned. A staff report on the rezoning request indicated that, among the issues with the site is that the property is small, approximately half the area needed to conduct automotive repair as a home-based business on a residential lot. Staff recommended council not allow the rezoning, and the majority of council declined to give it, leading to the municipality’s enforcement action against Rashead. “Property owners always have the option to ask for rezoning, but it must be understood that rezoning is a public process and is always at the discretion of council,”

But Rashead said bylaw officers began visiting the shop just two weeks after he took over, and the demands and the problems began. “I was told that if I did everything they ask, I would get the zoning and be allowed to continue operations and build my new garage, but I ended up paying $70,000 and then got stabbed in the back,” he said. “I can’t understand why I’m being treated this way. I’m just trying to make a living here for my family.” Joyce Behnsen, a councillor in North Cowichan, said it’s not the first time owners of that property have had trouble with the municipality over their plans for the site. She said a young couple who owned the property before Rashead also wanted to start a business there, but faced similar challenges. “It was a nightmare for them, and they lost all their investment in the property before they gave up on it,” Behnsen said. “I don’t know what the municipality thinks is supposed to go there, and there are other businesses of this sort in the area. I don’t think Amar should be treated this way and I don’t know why he is.” Behnsen also said there is almost $700,000 worth of municipal road upgrades currently taking place mere feet away from Sam’s Auto on Somenos Road, north from the intersection with Highway 18. She wonders why such improvements are taking place in the sparsely-populated area in which there are, supposedly, no major development plans by the municipality. Mark said it’s a fact that Rashead was operating a repair shop on the premises without first applying for rezoning to allow such an operation. He said bylaw officers likely did tell Rashead what would have to be done on the property as part of the rezoning process, but they wouldn’t have told him that it

“We’ve been having enforcement issues on the property for a long time, with all kinds of bylaw violations, including putting up buildings and doing work without permits,” Lefebure said. “What would [Rashead] expect after completely ignoring our rules? As well as the many bylaw violations, there’s also the fact that the property is only half the area that would be needed to run the operation he wants. The issues here are very clear and there is certainly no bias in the municipality and no hidden agendas.” As for the highway work going on adjacent to Rashead’s property, Lefebure said the road project is part of the municipality’s ongoing transportation plan. He said traffic numbers have increased in that area, partly due to the new Cowichan Commons shopping centre that has been constructed nearby. In addition, Lefebure said municipal workers have also been engaged in providing better bike and pedestrian networks on North Cowichan roadways, and the current work near Sam’s Auto is part of that ongoing agenda. Lefebure said Rashead can apply to the municipality again for a rezoning of his property. In the meantime, if Rashead doesn’t comply with the order to close his shop and undo the other renovations on site by the time the inspectors arrive on May 20, he could face up to six months in prison or face a fine of up to $10,000, plus the cost of prosecution. His defenders intend to present their petition to council at its meeting on May 18.

EMERGENCY PLANNING

Fort Mac a ‘wake-up call’ for pet owners

ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

n emergencies like in For t McMurray when people were faced with sudden evacuation orders due to rampaging wildfires, few people consider their pets. But hundreds of beloved critters were displaced or left behind in their owners’ homes in the northern Alberta city as people rushed to escape the flames, and many more had to be housed at quickly filled

animal shelters as some evacuee camps weren’t accepting animals. For Sandy Trent, manager of the Cowichan & District branch of the SPCA, and others tasked with the welfare of animals in the valley, Fort McMurray’s situation is yet another wake up call for local animal owners in the event of emergencies. Trent said the forest fire that rampaged through Highway 18 during last year’s drought also brought home to local residents the import-

Dr. J Kent Harris Cowichan Way Clinic I will be retiring as a family physician on May 19, 2016. The Cowichan Way Clinic family physicians will provide continuity of care for patients in my practice after that date. I cannot express in words the appreciation and gratitude I have for my patients. It has been such a privilege to be your family doctor all these years. Thank You. My patients are invited to a Thank You party on Friday May 13, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at the River Walk Café, Quw’ustun’ Cultural Centre.

I hope to see you there.

ance of preparing for pets and livestock at such times. “Processes have been developing since then, including a group on Facebook called the Vancouver Island Emergency Animal Evacuation Network,” Trent said. “People can sign up to provide services for animals, both pets and livestock, in the event of emergencies so people in need can contact them for help on short notice.” But Trent acknowledged that efforts like the VIAEEG are “probably not enough” to deal with an emergency as vast as the one that forced the evacuation of the entire population of Fort McMurray. “There’s so many variables to consider that it’s almost overwhelming to come up with a workable plan that can be depended on,” she said. “Having the facilities for the animals available, and getting people and their animals to them, is the big part. We need to be as prepared as we can be, and be proactive instead of reactive in these situations.” PreparedBC, the province’s website for disaster-readiness information, provides specific information on how people can prepare themselves and their pets for an emergency, and what to do when one occurs. The website says people and their animals may find themselves alone for several days during an emergency, and pets will rely on their owners to help them through it. “Preparing your pets for an emergency is just as important as preparing for the human members of your family,” according to the website. The website suggests petowners make a list of pet-friendly family members and emergency numbers, then ensure everyone in the household has a copy so the right people can be contacted to help with pets

A forest fire on Highway 18 last year prompted residents in Cowichan to set up a Facebook group among other things, says the SPCA’s Sandy Trent. [ANDREA RONDEAU/CITIZEN] in emergency situations like in Fort McMurray. The list should also include local contact information and out-of-area contact in case local phone and mobile networks are overwhelmed. Make sure your contact has the most up-to-date information for all pets, whether they are furry, feathered, finned or scaled. “During an emergency, the local evacuation centre should be your first point of contact,” the website says. “When you arrive, ask them to put you in touch with an animal-assistance organization.” Just as for people, the website recommends pet owners should always have a “grab-and-go” bag prepared for their pets in case they have to evacuate from their homes quickly. The bag should include a leash or pet restraint, pet food and water for at least three days, a copy of vaccination records, medications and basic first-aid supplies for pets, and photos of the pets so they can be used for identification. “Animals can become disori-

ented, frightened or aggressive after a disaster,” according to the website. “So add a few items to the emergency bag to help calm your pet, such as vanilla spray or a towel with your scent on it. You may also need thick gloves to help you handle a panicked pet.” If you are not at home when an emergency strikes, give a trusted friend or neighbour a key and let them know where your pet grab-and-go bag is so they can bring it with the pet. Tell them where your pet is located in the house and include any likely hiding spots as they may not be behaving in their usual way. If you use a kennel, find out what their emergency plan is, and talk to local authorities to find out what organizations and resources are available in your area for animals during an emergency. “If you have large animals, such as horses or cows, consider removing the animals from the area during an evacuation-alert stage,” according to the website.

TOUR DE ROCK

Westhaver cycling for her son ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

Mena Westhaver has begun training in earnest to cycle the length of Vancouver Island this fall. Westhaver is one of 17 people, consisting mostly of police officers from the Island, who will be participating in the 2016 Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team. She decided to get involved with Cops for Cancer and become a guest rider this year after her son Jack was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just three weeks shy of his sixth birthday. Jack, who is now a junior Cops for Cancer team member, endured more than three years of cancer treatments, and the one light of hope during that time was his visit to Camp Goodtimes

each year. Westhaver said Jack also has fond memories of the members of the Tour de Rock team who worked hard to help raise funds for the camp for young people dealing with cancer. “He’s doing great now,” Westhaver said with a smile on May 6 as the 17 members of this year’s team were announced at Shawnigan Lake School. “Life is all about choices, but Jack had no choice with his cancer,” she explained. “But it is a choice for people to support the cause, and the support we get each year through the Tour de Rock is fantastic.” This year’s team will cycle the length of the Island this fall raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs, like Camp Goodtimes.

BEGINS Friday, May 13th @ 7:00 pm

The Tour de Rock has raised more than $21 million for the Canadian Cancer Society and its programs since it first began in 1998. The team will spend the summer months training on their bikes and fundraising before setting out from Port Alice on Sept. 24 for the 1,100-kilometre tour before it ends in Victoria on Oct. 7. Team member Todd Mason, from the Victoria Police Department, said it was “an honour” to put on the Tour de Rock jersey for the first time at the opening event on May 6. “It’s so much more than just a cycling jersey,” he said. “It represents all the communities and supporters from Vancouver Island working together to help kids with cancer. It’s overwhelming.”

OUR VIEW

Got a pet plan if you have to get out fast?

o you have an emergency plan? Does it include your pets? What would you take if you had only minutes to escape? These questions have been on the minds of Cowichan Valley residents as we watch and read about the fire in Fort McMurray, which, by last Friday morning had burned more than 100,000 hectares and forced the evacuation of a city of 80,000 people. While reports are that firefighters have managed to preserve most of the community’s key service buildings thus far, including the airport, hospital,

etc., flames have claimed over 2,400 homes. Tales from the fire zone have included many from people who didn’t have even hours to prepare for departure — they were literally running out the door with the clothes on their backs while they saw the neighbour’s house consumed by flames, and theirs was next. So what would you grab if it were you? The first and most obvious thing is to make sure that all of the human beings are safe — kids, elderly parents and grandparents etc.

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

Then there are your fourlegged friends. For most people they are far more vital than any material possessions could ever be and making sure they’re making their escape with you is key. Many were left behind in the Fort McMurray evacuation for various reasons, and firefighters have reported using scarce downtime to try to rescue as many of them as possible. If you were at home when a disaster happens, do you have a carrying case for your pet handy? Do you have an emergency bag with some food, water

and other supplies? It’s important to remember to include our four-legged family members in our emergency planning. Most of us have a mental list of some of the practical and irreplaceable things like your purse/wallet/identification, laptop or backup hard drive, food and water in the former case, and family photos and mementos in the latter, that we would grab in an emergency. If you have mere moments, it pays to have thought a bit about this in advance, so you know where your key items/people/

pets are and can round everything up fast. It’s also a good idea to make sure everyone in the household has the same set of priorities and is working on the same plan. Everyone can be given particular jobs, making a necessary exodus even faster. Planning can help control the fear and chaos of the moment. Fort McMurray is like a worst case scenario — though loss of life has, incredibly, been very small. It’s worth considering what you’d do if it were you running out the door.

Island hasn’t lost its dubious charms I have returned very recently to the Island after many years of absence. It is so wonderful that the Island retained its charms over the years. The Malahat retains its thrills for drivers who wish to be in Duncan before they leave Victoria, the ferries still are too few and too small, the Island parks are always full, and they have tent cities in the towns. They still hold rallies and gatherings on the lawn in front of the Parliament buildings. Those were just a few reasons why I left the Island among other things, and I have still not

lost my “charms” either!

Re: the Duncan/North Cowichan food bank on Garden Street I have a big problem with this food bank and its location. This street is mainly residential, with some commercial/residential properties at the North Cowichan end of Garden Street. The food bank has traffic that far exceeds every household on this street on a daily basis! I pay to live in a residential area with street parking in front of my house, which I never have. Now I have to deal with 100 cars and people coming and going non-stop all day, every day. Not to mention the type of persons this outlet attracts regularly. This site is the cause of several police calls, drunk and disorderly, as well as the disturbance and theft that the area has. Nobody seems to care, but the citizens of Garden Street. Why is this allowed to remain where it is? If I had 100 people coming and going from my residence on a daily basis, taking up the entire street, and the several police calls, I bet I would no longer be living here. But the food bank is exempt from any bylaws, or complaints? This food bank needs to go! Gordon Henderson Duncan

THOUGHTS OF ALBERTA

Gallowglass helped make sale a success As Gallowglass Books has recently closed its doors, we would like to take this opportunity to thank owner Jeff Downie for his steadfast support over the past eight years for the Garden House Foundation fund’s annual October book sale. Jeff’s enthusiasm, generosity and wise counsel, ensured that our first sale was a success. Jeff was there at the sale desk, did the money count afterwards and even helped us load hundreds of boxes of books into the book delivery truck. When the store closed, Jeff continued his support by donating the remaining books — comprising over 200 boxes — to our sale. The spirit of Gallowglass will continue to live on as those books will be available at our next sale at Bonner School starting Oct. 15. The money raised will continue to help Cowichan Valley families and animals in crisis through the annual grants

JEFF DOWNIE given by the Garden House fund to the Cowichan SPCA, Cowichan Family Life and Cowichan Women Against Violence. We wish all the best in the future to Jeff, and also to Richard Neftin, who made time to sort and box books for us while running the store when Jeff turned his attention to the Old Firehouse Wine and Cocktail Bar. Jim and Jackie Barker Cobble Hill

When we see this wild rose we think of Alberta. We want all affected by the recent tragic time in Alberta to know we send our heartfelt concern and you will not be forgotten. Alberta, stay safe. [CHERYL WOYWITKA PHOTO]

NORTH COWICHAN

New hospital nudges neighbourhood plan

With property in the area picked for a new hospital, the Bell McKinnon Road area is in dire need of a comprehensive neighbourhood plan, and North Cowichan is proceeding on the project. [FILE]

Work on a thorough neighbourhood plan for the Bell McKinnon Road area will soon begin. Councillors in the Municipality of North Cowichan agreed last week that work on the much-anticipated neighbourhood plan, which could expedite the installation of sewer and other municipal services, will start immediately after rezoning for a new hospital in the area is complete. Coun. Joyce Behnson said she has heard many residents in the Bell McKinnon area express “complete frustration” over the lack of many

services for years. She said many have told her that if the possible construction of a new hospital in their neighbourhood will see them receive services for the first time, they are all for it. “These people have been paying high taxes with no sewer services for a long time,” Behnsen said. “Many of them are excited about the possibility of a new hospital guaranteeing that they will soon get that service.” Coun. Maeve Maguire made a notice of motion at the last regular council meeting on April 20 that staff begin the process for a local area plan for the neighbourhood immediately after the hospital rezoning process is finished. Many councillors, including Maguire, expressed concerns around the short amount of time — just five months — given to develop a basic neighbourhood plan for the Bell McKinnon Road area. That decision was made after the Cowichan Valley Regional Hospital District selected a site in the neighbourhood as a possible location for a new $350-million hospital last August. North Cowichan staff had been directed by council in March to prepare a neighbourhood plan for the mainly rural-residential area by July. CAO Dave Devana said at the meeting on April 20 that in developing a plan in five months, staff are “just trying to get a reasonable amount of comfort that a hospital can fit into a long-term plan for that area.” “I believe we can do that by July,” he said. “If you want to dive in deeper after the highlevel plan is presented, council can do that.” Coun. Al Siebring said dealing with the sewer issues in the Bell McKinnon area should be a priority, whether a hospital is built in the neighbourhood or not. “It’s been asked that this be on our priority list during our budget process each year since 2009,” he said. “I want to get to this now. If the possibility that a hospital is to be built there drives that, then so be it.”

Scotiabank MS Walk set to take to the streets in Duncan on Sunday With Canada having the highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world, Scotiabank MS Duncan Walk organizers are hoping hundreds will feel inspired to participate in the annual event starting at 11 a.m. on May 15 at the Cowichan Sportsplex. “The need for donations is immense as we fight to find a cure and advance research efforts. Here in B.C. alone, there are approximately 12,000 people currently living with MS. Now is the time to join us on the walk where every step matters,” said Rowena Veylan, senior director, development, B.C. and Yukon Division. Register for the Duncan walk and help make the fundraising goal of over $1 million a reality.

A group of Valley residents, some of them new to the idea of beekeeping, will pick up nucleus colonies (NUCs) of live honey bees at Buckerfield’s in Duncan early Saturday morning. Part of a Buckerfield’s initiative “It’s Your Bee Day” that is seeing the company distribute bee colonies both on Vancouver Island and in the B.C. Interior, something new for the retail community, according to company owner Kelvin McCulloch. “To my knowledge, this has never been done before by any B.C. retailer,” he said. “We’ve presold almost 160 NUCs to customers, many o f wh o m a r e f i r s t t i m e beekeepers.” Buckerfield’s has made an effort to keep the project as local as possible. “Originally, we were going to purchase the NUCs for resale from an Ontario supplier until I contacted Paul Van Westendorp, the provincial bee inspector at the Ministry of Environment, to determine the regulatory requirements. On his recommendation, we secured the bees from a B.C. supplier.” McCulloch contacted Jean Marc Ledorze of Golden Ears Apiaries in Mission, B.C. to see about bees for B.C. “Jean Marc is one of the largest commercial beekeepers in

the province. He is supplying us with the NUCs which he produced at his facility in Mission,” McCulloch said. McCulloch said the idea to do this through the stores was “kind of a logical extension of our bee supply business which we started about three years ago. We supply everything for the bees and we’ve had enquiries about where can we get the bees, so we’ve decided to supply them.” The bees themselves are contained in a colony. “That nucleus colony is sealed, with air vents, and it serves as a hive. It has an entrance, which can be opened during the day,” he said. Everyone will already have purchased their bees; this project required participants to pre-order. “They are all aware of what is required. Yes, some of them are, for certain, first time bee-

ometimes, when things become so prevalent in our society, we forget they do have the potential for problems. NSAIDs is a class of pain-relieving medication that is highly advertised on the media and includes drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. They are available without prescription but they can raise the risk of heart attack in people with existing heart disease. If you do need pain relief, try acetaminophen and if you do use NSAIDs, use the lowest dose possible. Inhaled insulin is quite an attractive idea to diabetics who have to inject insulin daily. One version came on the market in the US. in June 2014 but the company pulled it from the market in January 2016. It never made it to Canada. Lowering your blood pressure is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, many people don’t even know they have high blood pressure. If you might be one of these, have your blood pressure checked soon. High blood pressure is easily treated and it could save your life. What’s in your toothpaste? It is still a good idea to use a toothpaste containing fluoride. It is proven to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. People worried about toxicity of fluoride (it is toxic in large doses), don’t have to worry about the minuscule amount in toothpaste. If you have an understanding of how medications work in your body, you will make a greater effort to take your medication as the doctor ordered. We can help.

keepers so they are in the learning process. But it’s no different really from people who are just starting with poultry, or people owning a pet cat for the first time. They just have to learn about what they are doing. It’s a very cool pastime. People find after they get their bees and start keeping them that it’s actually a fascinating and very rewarding and joyful experience.” Buckerfields’ folks are to pick up the bees in Mission in two open trailers later today (Friday, May 13) and transport them overnight to the stores before the heat of the day sets in and the bees have to fly. “The NUCs for the Island will be put onto the dangerous goods ferry operated by Van Isle Barge in Delta. Our Saanich and Parksville store managers will pick them up in Nanaimo and distribute them on the Island. I might be the one stuck with driving the NUC’s to the stores in the Interior,” said McCulloch, who was planning to be at Golden Ears to oversee the shipping. It’s worth noting that these bees will be inspected by the provincial inspector Friday. “Vancouver Island beekeepers have expressed serious concerns about the risk of importing Small Hive Beetle to the island, so we are taking every precaution,” McCulloch said.

EDUCATION

Childcare advocate queries axing of adult ed LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

It’s now final; the Cowichan Valley school district’s board of education has balanced its $81.8 million budget. Despite that, achieving the closure by letting the axe fall on the Cowichan Adult Learning Centre still rankles with at least one of the school district’s other partner groups. Mary Dolan of Growing Together Child Care Centre, during question period at the end of the May 3 school board meeting, urged trustees to take another look at deciding to get rid of the program completely as of next January. Dolan said she had only heard herself that day about the coming closure, despite having students from that program using the Growing Together services. “I understand about budgets and that some things need to be cut, but I want to ask the board, which partners did you talk to before you made this decision to take away such a service from vulnerable people in the community who are trying to better themselves and get out of poverty? Which partners said this would be a wise move for the district? I would also like to ask who is being helped and who is

Mary Dolan of Growing Together Child Care Centre has long pushed the idea of making child care more affordable and more widely available so vulnerable young parents can try to further their education. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] being hindered?” she continued. Later, she pointed out that although she had seen young parents coming to drop off their children for daycare when adult-ed was in the old Charles Hoey School, there had been an increase when the adult program moved to the McKirdy Building at the old Duncan Elementary School site, across the street from Growing Together. During the meeting, the board learned some of the details of a

profitable program that sees the Cowichan Valley school district provide a selection of adult education courses to some inmates of Wilkinson Road jail, near Victoria, and that caught Dolan’s attention. Dolan suggested that the funds raised by that program could be used to help fund adult learning for Cowichan Valley students. “Please consider the benefits [of adult education] and find some other way of taking money rather

than services offered to the vulnerable,” she urged. Board of Education chairwoman Candace Spilsbur y replied, “It was a heart-wrenching process to get to the decision of closing adult education. We know it’s such a valuable program. But, we had to find money.” She told Dolan that trustees also took note that all the 162 responses in a recent public budget survey said, among other things, that adult education

should be dropped if it was not recovering its costs. “After that we looked at what we could do, at cost recovery, and we could have had two teachers trying to offer over 500 courses for the fees that were involved. We thought that was a really unfair expectation of two teachers. “Another issue, of course, is that our primary mandate is with students who are in school. We had to look at it all,” Spilsbury said. Vancouver Island University offers adult education and already knows that the kind of student that would come from the school district’s adult education program may be a little different from the regular student they enrol at the university, she said. “They have accepted that and are working to try to find a program that would best address the needs of those students.” The district also recognized that the child care centre will still be there at Growing Together. “We hope to have the students continue to bring their children there, and there may be an opportunity that another child care centre would be able to establish themselves closer to VIU,” Spilsbury said. “We’ve made the decision tonight and it’s with reluctance, as I say, that we have to move on.”

Four of the 43 totem poles in downtown Duncan will be refurbished this summer as part of the city’s ongoing totem pole program. The City of Duncan has put out a request for proposals from those with experience in dealing with totem poles to do the work. The four poles that require work are the Pole of Wealth, the Eagle, Raven, Bear Totem Pole, The Feast Totem Pole and the Raven Stealing the Sun Totem Pole. The Pole of Wealth was carved in 1988 by Simon Charlie, who is Kwa’mutsun, part of the Quw’utsun’ Tribes. The Eagle, Raven, Bear pole was carved in 1989 by Lenard Paquette Jackson, a Cree from Slave Lake, Alberta. The Feast pole was carved in 1987 by Doug LaFortune, who is Coast Salish of Quw’utsun’ and Tsawout heritage. The Raven Stealing the Sun pole was carved in 1990 by Donald Smith, who is Coast Salish from Qw’umiyiqun, Quw’utsun’ Tribes. The poles, which are all made of wood, have weathered significantly since they were first carved. Each year, the city identifies a number of poles in need of repair and the work is usually carried out in the summer months.

From Our Farm to You Giving You the Freshest, Tastiest Meal in Town

ALL FROZEN SAUSAGE The budget for the work depends on the quotes the city receives from its request for proposals. The original carvers of the totem poles to be worked on are also invited to participate in the process. Quotes on the work can be submitted to Paige MacWilliam, City of Duncan, 200 Craig Street, Duncan, B.C., V9L 1W3, or paige@duncan.ca by 3 p.m. on May 27.

Adventure of the lifetime for Cowichan cadets CITIZEN

Four teen cadets from 100 Admiral Mainguy Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps in Duncan had a once in a lifetime opportunity to sail in a Royal Canadian Navy frigate on Saturday, April 9, during a training weekend in Victoria. The Duncan cadets joined more than 200 other sea cadets from around Vancouver Island and the 225 crew members of HMCS Ottawa for a day at sea. The crew and cadets put the ship through its paces at full speed, up to 30 knots, and heeling over 25-30 degrees during manoeuvres. During the day, cadets spent time with sailors at 13 different activity stations learning the various functions of daily life and the rhythm of a Canadian

warship including weapons, fire-fighting, navigation and command, operations, boarding and rescue. Among them was the Cowichan Valley’s Rebecca Oliver. “My favourite part of today was the simulated conflict in the operations room, not everyone gets to see that. The cadet program is full of experiences other people my age just don’t get to do; last year I went on an ORCA deployment and learned how to operate a naval ship doing many of the things I’ve seen sailors do today.” On Sunday, all cadets were inspected by Rear-Admiral Gilles Couturier, Commander Maritime Forces Pacific during an Admiral’s Ceremonial Divisions parade. The parade included a massed band as well as several promotions and recognitions.

Science Matters

Virtual reality is developing by leaps and bounds. [WWW.OCULUS.COM PHOTO] will be unintended repercussions, the greatest of which will be further estrangement from nature. Studies show that because people evolved out of nature, we need that connection with the natural world for mental and physical well-being. Author Richard Louv categorizes a suite of childhood problems — including bullying, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity — as “nature deficit disorder”, induced or worsened by too little physical exposure to nature. The average Canadian kid today spends more than six hours a day glued to a screen — mobile phones, computers, televisions — and less than eight minutes a day outside! That’s one reason why the David Suzuki Foundation is encouraging people to get outside for 30 minutes a day in May with its 30x30 Nature Challenge. Some proponents claim virtual reality will stimulate children to spend more time outside. But why bother when the virtual world seems better than the real one? I’m sure innovation and creativity will continue to drive the technology to new frontiers. I’m just as sure there will be enormous unexpected and damaging consequences if we aren’t careful.

We could indulge in the kinkiest sex without exposure to sexually transmitted infection or other consequences. Why go for the real experience when a virtual one would be risk-free? During a recent visit to Montreal, I had the opportunity to watch the latest iteration of the digital revolution: images in 3D, HD and 360o wraparound. It was mindboggling. I swam with whales and zoomed through a forest, listening to actual sounds, along with music and narration. As I watched a spectacular mountain forest, a train suddenly appeared, splashing across a lake and then coming straight at me. As my body responded to the all-too-realistic locomotive, it reached me and exploded into a thousand birds that took off in a glorious cloud. Computer graphics melded seamlessly with actual footage that generated scenes far exceeding reality. I’ve been intrigued by the possibility that this technology could enable people to have such incredible experiences with whales, fish and other animals that we would no longer feel the need to imprison animals in aquaria and zoos. People wouldn’t even need to journey to exotic places to see wildlife in their habitats. I have no doubt virtual reality is going to have a huge impact. We’re just beginning to recognize its potential. But as with all new technology, there

he digital revolution is breaking new ground every day. Technology has a way of doing that. I remember when Hewlett-Packard introduced its first “laptop” computer, which stored a page and a half of writing. It revolutionized my life as a newspaper columnist, allowing me to write on planes or in a tent and submit articles through a phone. I never imagined the steady advances that would lead to today’s powerful laptops, tablets and handheld computers. Once, while filming in a remote B.C. forest, I wanted to pan from the roots of a cedar tree along the trunk to the top in a single shot. After spending hours rigging wires and pulleys and struggling to keep the heavy camera from swaying as it rose, our crew gave up in frustration. Recently, we used a light GoPro camera mounted under a drone to get a spectacular high-definition shot in a few minutes! The first time I opened YouTube, I was looking for a video of the astounding phenomenon of mucous secretion by a hagfish, a primitive marine animal. To my surprise, I found several postings, and as I chose one, a list of several others that might be of interest popped up. Two hours later, I realized I’d been sucked in by an incredible range of films. When I first heard about virtual reality, I was invited to put on the goggles and experience it. Crude as those first images were compared to what’s available now, I was immersed in the scenes. It was impressive and exciting, but I suggested that people should be wary of unintended consequences, because virtual reality could eventually appear better than reality. With virtual reality, people could race a car and experience all the heart-thumping adrenalin of the real thing, then crash and walk away unharmed. We could have a showdown with a gunslinger, lose and fight again.

Keep your eyes open for the Shimmy Mob

Duncan Choral Society offers Rhythms of Life

Cowichan Valley Shimmy Mob 2016 is up and at ’em again this year. They’ll be dancing in many places around the Valley on Saturday, May 14 — World Belly Dance Day. For exact locations and times, check the group’s Facebook page, but they will be at Duncan Farmer’s Market at 10:30 a.m. and the Children and Apple Pie festival at Cobble Hill at 11:30 a.m. for sure. Look for them also at the Community Farm Store, Soulful Memories, Duncan Garage, Spinning Ninny, Cowichan Bay, and Old Firehouse Wine Bar. The group is also presenting an adventure in belly dance fashion and performance on Sunday, June 19 at the Duncan Showroom downstairs starting at 7 p.m. All proceeds from that event will go to the Cowichan Women Against Violence Society and Somenos Transition House.

The Duncan Choral Society is presenting its annual spring concert, Rhythms of Life, on Saturday, May 14, at the Christian Reformed Church on Trunk Road in Duncan starting at 2 p.m. Under the direction of Sue Doughty and with accompaniment by Ruth Williams, the big choir will present songs in a variety of styles for the audience’s enjoyment. Tickets are $15 each for adults and $12 for students. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Get your tickets from choir members or at the door.

Award-winning Vancouver Island author Mark Zuehlke is launching the new edition of his book Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons: British Remittance Men in the Canadian West at the Cowichan Valley Museum in Duncan on Wednesday, May 18 at noon. Beginning in 1880, thousands of young, upper-class British men with dubious histories and few prospects were sent to the Canadian West to distance them from British society. Still supported by their families, thus earning them the title “remittance men,” these men set out to continue their lives of leisure in this new land. Feeling entitled to a soft life,

they hunted, played games, courted women, and enjoyed distinguished pursuits that squandered their parents’ money and made hard-working Canadians raise their eyebrows. Though their era in Western Canada was short, 1880–1914, “they left an indelible mark perpetuated by the stories and legends that sprung up around them,” Zuehlke says. In 2014, Zuehlke, a Victoria resident, won the prestigious Governor General’s Award for Excellence in Popular Media, also known as the Pierre Berton Award.

The Mortgage Place

rows phoned me about a place on Quamichan Lake that was for sale, would be we interested? Sure, it doesn’t cost anything to be interested so we went out and looked it over. I thought it was just the thing. “All we were short was $20,000 which was nothing. After all, we had about $2 to play with, what’s a mere $19,998 more? So I went out and figured how much timber was on there and I thought if we donated our time we might just make it, if we could get somebody to contract to log it, so I went to see Taylor Brothers. We figured out a deal, then I took it to the meeting and asked for help. The challenge was accepted and Duncan Moose Lodge was purchased.” The International Order of the Moose has branches in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. At that time its charter restricted membership to “men of the Caucasian or white race who are of good moral character, physically and mentally normal, above the age of 21 and who believe in the Supreme Being.” (A women’s auxiliary was composed of wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of male members.) It was the goal of the Order “to inspire and inculcate lofty sentiments relative to humanity’s welfare”. While recognizing differences in religious and political beliefs, discussion of these sub-

jects was forbidden within Lodge walls. “The Order believes that in the fraternal lodge lies the opportunity for folks of modest means to find human contact with congenial companions, and to participate in a co-operative enterprise that will assure adequate support in sickness, and a decent burial at death.” At the time of the Duncan Lodge’s purchase of the Quamichan Lake estate, the International Order had 1,500 lodges throughout the continent and $70 million in assets. The man behind the creation of the Duncan Lodge was Farnham B. (Stub) Foote, its first charter member and governor. A hardrock miner and logger by trade, he’d first encountered the Moose Order in Kamloops in 1929 but had declined an invitation to join. Married and with a family in the dirty ’30s, however, he was pleased to join, not just for the social outlet but for the security of knowing that his family would be taken care of should something happen to him. Still a member in good standing when he settled in the Cowichan Valley in 1943, he “missed the social and fraternal activities my wife and I enjoyed in Hedley. We wondered if it would be possible to have a lodge here.” They needed to have 50 members signed up for initiation before a charter would be granted. With the offer of help from lodges in Victoria and Vancouver, the Footes “were off and running,” particularly after he approached Joe Nick: “That was a break for me because Joe was every enthusiastic about it. Joe was well known in the area whereas I had only been here two years at the time, autumn 1945. The fact that the organization had a health and welfare fund for those [brothers] in need [and] the Lodge had a facility in Illinois, U.S.A., to care for the widows and children of departed Brothers” were tempting inducements.

50 candidates by Feb. 1950 CHRONICLES, From Page 20

And “in a matter of a few months we had the required 50 candidates signed up for the membership.” Their first meeting with prospective members was held in the Oddfellows Hall on Station Street. By February 1950 they’d achieved their goal of 50 candidates and Farnham Foote was elected first governor.; the initiations were held in the K. of P. Hall. The Duncan Lodge continued to grow and became increasingly active in the community, raising funds for and supporting such agencies as the Cowichan District Hospital, the Cairnsmore Extended Care Unit, the former Cowichan Lodge, the Heart and Stroke Society and others. In 1967 the Moose Lodge was greatly expanded with the addition of a modern two-storey wing that included a downstairs banquet room with seating capacity of 150 and a 2,000-square-foot dance floor upstairs. In April 2008, charter members and first governor Farnham Foote celebrated his 100th birthday in a Chemainus rest home.

The retired diamond drill operator who’d mined from Barkerville to Port Alberni to Honeymoon Bay and Mount Sicker before going to work in the woods until retirement, recalled with pride the role he’d played in organizing a Moose Lodge in Duncan. Daughter Betty-Ann Olson said she well remembered how he’d give her and her siblings a nickel each to go to a movie at the Duncan Odean while he remained outside, on the street, trying to recruit members. “I stood at the Eaton’s corner many, many weekends, stopping all my friends,” her father agreed. “But at that time you knew everyone.” The purchase of the acreage beside Quamichan Lake for approximately $1,000 an acre would not have been possible but for the standing timber that they’d logged, mostly with volunteer labour over three years, he admitted. They made enough to pay off the bank loan. “I do look at that lodge with pride — that lodge has been an asset to the community,” he told reporter Mike D’Amour.

The seminar brought together child amputees from across the province while also marking the 70th anniversary of The War Amps Key Tag Service. Taylor was born a left arm amputee and, as a “Champ,” is eligible to receive financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs and devices. By attending seminars, Champs and parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Valley plundered in WHL bantam draft KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Kabore Dunn was in French class when his name was called. Corson Hopwo was in the school gym, but his phone had died, so he didn’t know what had happened until his classmates told him. Dunn and Hopwo, who came up through the Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey Association and now play for Canadian Sport School Hockey League teams at Delta and at Shawnigan Lake School, respectively, were picked in the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft on May 5. Two of Dunn’s Shawnigan teammates, Jacson Alexander and Cody Shepheard, were also selected. “We were just kind of following the draft in class, and when I saw my name, it was pretty exciting,” said Dunn, who was picked in the fourth round, 70th overall, by the Kootenay Ice. With several players from Shawnigan’s hockey academy eligible for the draft, it wasn’t unusual for players to be keeping track on their phones. “It’s a pretty big deal for all the Grade 9s,” Dunn said. Alexander, a Victoria product, went in the first round, 17th overall, to the Swift Current Broncos, and Shepheard, from Qualicum Beach, went in the eighth round, 155th overall, also to Kootenay. Hopwo was taken in the seventh round, 138th overall, by the Medicine Hat Tigers. Like at Shawnigan, the Delta academy players were closely following the draft, although Hopwo had a technology issue. “My phone died, so I didn’t know what was going on,” he recalled. “Everybody started saying my name and crowding around me. I didn’t even know what team drafted me. “At first it didn’t really kick in, then everyone started saying congratulations. When it started to kick in, I felt pretty good about it.” A six-foot, 156-pound defenceman, Dunn had three goals, three assists and 24 pen-

[SUBMITTED PHOTOS] alty minutes in 22 games for the Shawnigan bantam prep team last season. He also got into four games with the varsity team, scoring once. He knew he was on a lot of teams’ radar, but wasn’t sure when, or if, he would be draft. “I was happy that I went where I went,” he said. “It was just a really good feeling. I wasn’t really expecting it. I knew before that there was a chance. A lot of people from different teams had been talking to me before the draft and said they were interested.” Also a blueliner, the five-foot-10, 146-pound Alexander led Shawnigan’s bantam prep team with 22 points on nine goals

and 13 helpers in 24 contests. Shepheard, a five-foot-11, 150-pound forward, scored nine goals and assisted on seven others for 16 points in 25 bantam prep games. Hopwo averaged a point a game with Delta, putting up nine goals and 13 assists in 22 games, while leading the entire bantam prep league with 60 penalty minutes. The five-foot-five, 120-pound forward was one of a CSSHL-high 12 players picked from the Delta team. He was one of two Delta skaters picked by Medicine Hat. “They said they were excited to have me,” Hopwo said of the Tigers. “They think I’m a hard worker.” The excitement is mutual.

“I’ve heard they’re a really good organization,” Hopwo said. “And I’ve heard the coaching staff is really good and their arena is really nice.” Hopwo should get his first look at Medicine Hat’s new Canalta Centre when he attends a rookie camp later this month. Like Dunn and the other Shawnigan players, he will also attend the main camp with his new team in August, but won’t be looking to crack the roster this year. “I won’t be able to make it next year, but hopefully in my 16-year-old year, I might be able to make it,” Hopwo said. “I’ll put in the hard work and effort and see where it takes me.”

EQUESTRIAN

QMS rider named Canada’s top junior KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

QMS student Kassidy Keith was honoured as Canadian Junior Equestrian of the Year. [SUBMITTED]

Queen Margaret’s School equestrian team member Kassidy Keith has received one of the sport’s most prestigious honours in Canada. Keith, a Grade 12 rider at QMS who calls Duncan home, was honoured last month with the Gillian Wilson Trophy as Canadian Junior Equestrian of the Year. Named for a former longtime technical director of the Canadian Equestrian Federation, the trophy is given to “a junior equestrian athlete who has excelled in equestrian competition in the current award year while demonstrating exceptional talent, horsemanship, sportsmanship, and dedication to equestrian sport, as well as the vision and

mission of Equine Canada.” Although Keith collected numerous individual honours throughout 2015, she wasn’t expecting the latest award. “I was really surprised when they called and invited me to receive the award in Montreal,” Keith said. “Some past winners of this award have gone on to ride at the Grand Prix level, so I am very honoured.” Kassidy and her father were flown to Quebec, courtesy of Equine Canada, to take part in the 2016 EC Awards Gala on April 22. Riders need to be nominated by Equine Canada community members and are voted on by the EC board, so even a nomination is a huge honour for athletes. “I’ve known Kassidy my whole

life, and I know what kind of dedication it has taken to get her to where she is today,” QMS equestrian program director Jodine Buydens said. “She got to where she is because of who she is. Her opportunities have not been handed to her or come easily. I love the story of her success.” Keith acknowledged the many people who have supported her throughout her riding career, including her family, the QMS community, the equestrian community, Ellen and Mark Brown, Jolene Benham and John Turner, Keith is now working on earning a spot on the U18 Junior National Team, and will make her debut at the Adequan/FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships in Colorado this July.

On defence, Sue Glenn had two interceptions, including one on an intense diving catch, and Val Chambers recorded one. The closest game of the week was a 26-20 win for the Hindsight Fishing Ravens over the Snap Fitness Sirens. Chelsea Strandlund scored the bulk of the Ravens’ points

on three touchdowns and a twopoint convert, while Lauren James scored once. For the Sirens, Tara McCaffery ran in one touchdown and kicked a rouge, Christine Switzer had a touchdown and a convert, Deanne Mearns scored once, Carmen Zimmer had two interceptions, Shelly Hodgins had one pick, and Kirbee Crisp had two sacks.

AAA Mustangs take two against Chilliwack KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Mustangs improved their record to .500 in B.C. midget AAA baseball with back-to-back wins over the Chilliwack Cougars at Evans Park on Saturday. The Mustangs beat the Cougars 22-12 in five innings in the opener, then won 9-1 in the second half of the doubleheader. “Chilliwack has a young team,” Cowichan head coach Mario Iannidinardo said. “They played well considering they were shorthanded.” Jayden Hamm, went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, five RBIs and two stolen bases as the Mustangs hit 13-for-26 in the opening game. Nolan Fothergill was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, Cole Anderson went 2-for-4 with one RBI, and Cam

LeSergent was 1-for-2 with a double and four RBIs. Tanner Cummings didn’t even record an at-bat over four plate appearances, walking three times with a sac fly, but finished with two RBIs, and Kale Eddy went 1-for-1 with a double, three walks and an RBI. The Mustangs had eight steals in all, including Hamm’s two, and one each by LeSergent, Cummings, Fothergill, Anderson, Jacob Montague and Andrew Strobl. Eddy started the game on the mound and pitched two innings, striking out two and giving up just one hit, and Brayden Radcliffe came in for a third of an inning and didn’t surrender a hit.

Peewee Bulldogs have strong second half against Wolverines bered, but hey won’t be outworked.” Once again facing a larger roster on the other side of the ball, the Bulldogs weren’t intimidated and showed a huge amount of heart. In addition to Strzok’s major, Max Vaesen scored after the Bulldogs put a stop to Saanich’s subsequent drive with an interception, and Jesse Kwasny added another touchdown. The Cowichan defenders held their own for most of the game, although the size of the Wolverines players created some challenges. The peewee and junior bantam Bulldogs will visit the Nanaimo Lions this Saturday,.

DEATHS

BE A PRODUCT SAMPLER

Miss talking to PEOPLE? Are you BORED? Need extra MONEY?

Rosena (Rose) McNeal It is with much sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our own, inimitable, Granny Rose. She leaves behind daughters Pam, Marlene, Diane and Shirley, grandson Aaron and great grandson Felix and brother Clifford Beck. She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband Harry McNeal in 1973. Granny Rose, as we will forever think of her, was, at 97 years old, a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes exasperatingly independent, she was determined she would live life her way, right until the end and bless her, she did. She loved to laugh and did so often. Her little family meant the world to her and she had an endless amount of love to give. The world seems a little less bright without her in it. Granny Rose, wherever this final journey takes you, know that you are forever wrapped in our love and admiration. You are in our hearts forever. The family would like to give an extra special thanks to Dr. Susan Barr and all the beautiful staff at Festubert Clinic in Duncan. You gave our Mom and Granny such care and loving kindness that it surely helped her keep her quality of life going as strong as it did. We would also like to extend our thanks to the awesome management and residents of Sharron Apartments where Rose lived for so many years. You were her community, and we are grateful she was able to live there right until the end of her days. Thank you for your kindness to her, and to us during this difficult time. Cremation and a private family celebration of her life will take place at a yet to be determined date. Flowers are gratefully declined but donations could be made to the Cowichan Valley Humane Society or Cowichan Cat Rescue.
