Valley teacher Janet Ruest has scored the experience of a lifetime: she’s been chosen from among 2,700 North American educators to join a National Geographic expedition. She’ll be visiting the Galapagos Islands in September as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow on the Lindblad Expeditions ship, National Geog raphic Endeavour. A teacher at Chemainus Secondary since 1994, she’s just returned from a weekend in Washington, D.C., where, at National Geographic Headquarters, she met the other 34 people chosen as teaching fellows for 2015. For Ruest, an enthusiastic lifelong learner, it’s a dream come true. “I’ve always loved geography. I used to look at a map of the world and think, gee, it looks like a puzzle. Doesn’t this fit here and that fit there? And that was long before I knew about plate tectonics,” she said. She always wanted to be a teacher, too, and chose geography as a subject to accompany the physical education she already knew she wanted

Janet Ruest to teach. Her high school social studies teacher made a huge difference in her life. “She would come back after traveling and tell us stories, really personalize the experience. It made me want to go out and see the world. My goal in high school was to go to every single continent. I have one left now: Antarctica.” Her school experience also gave her an enquiring mind. “I’ve always wondered why. Why is that mountain that shape? Why do we have earthquakes here and not there?

Friends raising funds for grieving family LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Friends of Deana Hill are rallying around to help the Lake Cowichan woman’s family after she succumbed to cancer May 13, following a tough battle. Sister-in-law Danielle Cage shared with the Citizen Thursday: “She lost her battle early this morning and is now at peace. Family and friends will be notified by this evening.” Aliya Khan, a good friend of Deana’s, took up the cause late last month and started a gofundme campaign that has already raised more than $10,000 towards its goal of $15,000. You can find it at www.gofundme.com/smders on the Internet. “I want to help out this family as much as I can at this heartbreaking time,” she said on the appeal site. Life for the family “started off like a fairytale,” Khan said. Deana, 40, had married her high school sweetheart Bryan Hill. “Together they had three handsome boys: Tristin, Trey, and Riley. They are now 18, 15 and 13 years old. “Life was great. They both par-

ticipated in the kids’ baseball. Bryan was coach for the team as well as president. However, he had had to step down due to his wife’s illness,” she said. Meanwhile, Deana served on the parents’ committee at A.B. Greenwell Elementary School and volunteered with Sparks and Brownies as well, even though she had no girls of her own. “Any spare moments were spent together as a family,” Khan said. All that altered just under a year ago. “With a blink of an eye everything changed. Deana was diagnosed July 10, 2014 with inflammatory breast cancer. She spent nine months doing extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments only to now find out that the battle is just too strong and they are all out of options. [In April,] after having numerous tests, scans, and MRIs they have learned that the disease has now spread to her bone marrow, and the battle is just too strong to fight this dreadful monster.” That’s not the only tragedy this family has had to endure. Deana “just lost her father on March 31 to acute AML leukemia

[which was only] diagnosed the previous month. On the day of his celebration, Deana was taken to Cowichan District Hospital due to spinal pain but was able to get a pass to join her family at a devastating time,” Khan said. Bryan is still working but because of his wife’s illness and caring for her and their three boys he has had to take many days off and what vacation time he had. “He was just recently granted compassionate stress leave and had to take a huge pay cut. Expenses have added up and the last thing the family needs is financial stress.,” she said. In addition, a bottle drive to raise money for the family is still going ahead. It’s scheduled for May 30, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Saywell Park in Lake Cowichan. Her brother has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, Cage said this week and she is passing on the following comment from him: “We greatly appreciate everyone’s generosity. It has helped me be able to spend this time with Deana. No words can express how much it is appreciated.”

Truck crash tangles commute KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The drivers of a logging truck and dump truck were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after their vehicles collided on the Malahat Highway Wednesday morning, causing problems for the morning commute. The Shawnigan Lake RCMP responded to the scene at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and South Shawnigan Lake Road at 6:45 a.m., along with

volunteer firefighters and BC Ambulance. Both vehicles were heading south when the collision occurred. Traffic on the Malahat was reduced to one lane with alternating north- and southbound traffic for about three hours while crews worked to investigate and clear the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Witnesses are encouraged to contact the Shawnigan Lake RCMP at 250-743-5514.

eliac’s disease is a clinical condition where gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) damages the surface of the intestinal walls so it can’t absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and irritability. Eliminating all foods containing gluten proteins will relieve symptoms if the problem is truly celiac’s disease.

on an 18-year-old Duncan woman. Knowing that Myles is prone to violence, the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP requested assistance from the Island’s tactical unit. “Given the violent history of the individual involved in this case, we deployed the Island District RCMP Emergency Response Team to assist us with this arrest,” Island District RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Darren Lagan said. “Their expertise ensures that arrests of this nature are conducted efficiently and safely, increasing the likelihood of a peaceful resolution for all involved.” The nearby Parkside Daycare, which occupies the former Somenos Rural Traditional School building, was evacuated during the arrest. “Out of an abundance of caution, the occupants of a nearby daycare facility were moved to a safe location away from this property, prior to officers making contact with the suspect,” Lagan said. “The cooperation of the children, their parents, and the daycare staff is appreciated.” Myles was arrested without incident, and will remain in police custody until he appears in court. He is facing charges of harassment, unlawful confinement, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault, and four counts of uttering threats. The date for his next appearance has not been set.

There has been an increase in gluten-intolerance during the past few years and more people seem to be adopting a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms mentioned above.

During the past five years, the number of teens using tanning parlours has dropped significantly. Perhaps it’s due to fact that the World Health Organization in 2009 openly declared that tanning devices caused cancer. As well, several well-designed studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer. The idea of a poly-pill has been around for about a decade. It’s a pill that combines 3-6 drugs into one pill. It contains an cholesterol-lowering drug, ASA, one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s designed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and second heart attacks. This idea is not a reality yet.

School district says goodbye to Joe Rhodes LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

In a brief but heartfelt address to the audience following his final school board meeting on Tuesday, May 5, retiring schools superintendent Joe Rhodes said he almost wished he was younger so he could watch the Cowichan Valley school district grow. “We have here some of my g reatest advocates and my greatest adversaries in the same room all at the same time and I just want to take this opportunity to thank everybody for eight wonderful years in the district,” he said. He thanked reps from the Cowichan Valley Teachers Federation, CUPE, Steelworkers, principals’ group, his own team, the parents and more, praising them all for doing the best they could with the money provided. “Everybody in this room knows that the dollars need to be more and we all advocate for that in the ways that we can,” he said. “To the board, I wish I was younger. It would be an absolute delight to spend the next four years with you. I can’t say enough how happy it makes me

Joe Rhodes, former superintendent feel to know that our district is in good hands and of the great work that you will do. I feel a bit short-changed because I feel we’ve been this incredible gardening team for the last four or five years. “We’ve cut the trees down, we’ve blown up the stumps, we’ve got the rocks out, we’ve tilled the soil and we’ve planted some really neat seeds. And I don’t get to watch them grow. But thank you for all that,” Rhodes said, to

a standing ovation. Board Chair Candace Spilsbury replied, “We admire you and your dedication, your courage and your achievements. We have improved. When you look at our transition rates, our grad rates that you brought forward tonight, I’m impressed with those and it’s all been during your watch. “I think we’re also impressed with your efforts around vulnerable learners and what you and your team went through during restructuring and rebuilding. I think we’re in a very fine place now to grow some beautiful flowers with Rod [Allen, newly hired superintendent]. That was one of the attractions for him to come here; you built that with us and everyone has come to appreciate you,” she said. Trustee Rob Hutchins also praised the superintendent’s work towards keeping students in high school so they can graduate and Trustee Elizabeth Croft added that, in giving firm backing to the Cowichan Valley Open Learning Co-operative, Rhodes was offering new hope to students who might otherwise have left the school system entirely.

OUR VIEW

Name and shame to stop vile harassment A

recent troubling trend is finally having some serious consequences for at least one perpetrator. You’ve probably read the story or seen the viral footage of a CityNews reporter in Toronto confronting so-called sports fans outside a venue over their desire to harass media personalities on-air. These guys operate by invading live tapings, shoving themselves into the camera frame, sometimes grabbing the reporter, and yelling a particularly vile phrase laced with obscenities.

It’s also a rape threat, though we doubt these morons see it as such. Mindless is almost too kind a description of their thought processes. If it was some innocuous phrase, we’d probably chuckle a bit, too. But it’s not. The phrase itself is too revolting to repeat here. How has such a dimwitted thing caught on? Why are adult men, professionals even, waiting in the wings for a camera on which to enact their stupidity? When confronted by the Toronto reporter, these guys expressed the idea that their

workplace sexual harassment was hilarious. It’s bizarre. It’s behaviour one might expect young teenagers to find amusing and “daringly” engage in, not grown men. Have we become a country of perpetual adolescents who remain emotionally frozen at the age when it was cool to hang out the window of their buddy’s car and catcall women? Newsflash: girls don’t think that’s awesome. It’s even less awesome when you’re a 20-, 30- or 40-something year old man acting like you’ve

never completed puberty. The sexual violence towards women expressed in the phrase chosen is also disturbing. Would you really want someone yelling that at your mom or your sister or your daughter? Now one of the offenders in Toronto is being fired from his job, losing his $100,000 per year paycheque. Not so funny anymore. It’s never great to hear about someone’s life being ruined because of one boneheaded moment, but his comments showed remorse was not on the menu otherwise.

We cannot continue to live as we have

Still, zero-tolerance has a tendency to throw the babies out with the bathwater. It would have been preferable for an education process to take place. We need these men to realize that what they are doing is wrong — not just a fun stunt — and creates a hostile environment not only for the newsperson trying to do a broadcast, but for all women within range of hearing. But these men do need to be identified and singled out. If that’s the only way to stop this ugly virus from spreading, then we say, name and shame.

Evolution of the Toronto FC heckler Time for gas prices to become election issue The letter in last week’s paper by Greg McCallum on the way we are being price-gouged for gas was interesting. It’s nice to see that someone actually realizes there is something severely wrong with our system of setting fuel prices. Basically, as I see it, this type of consumer abuse is a result of our government’s failure to act in the interests of its citizens. As Mr. McCallum states, other countries with large oil reserves control the price of fuel and are not at the mercy of speculators. I know for a fact that in Venezuela gas prices are controlled to the equivalent of around 30 cents per litre.

Even though the price of a barrel of oil is a strictly arbitrary number, there has always been a ratio between this and the pump price. When oil was at around $130 a barrel a couple of years ago we were paying about $1.30 per litre for gas. Now that oil is between $50 and $60 we pare paying $1.22. This ratio has obviously been abandoned and skewed drastically against the consumer. While I hesitate to use the word corrupt when referring to our federal government, its refusal to act on this matter for the benefit of Canadians leaves me with a very distrustful feeling. However, the way the tax on fuel is charged is a very powerful disincentive for federal action, as the government col-

lects more tax, as a percentage, the higher the pump price. I have been hoping for many years to see government control on fuel prices become an election issue. We have another chance to make some demands on the parties in the fall election, but given the apathy of many voters I am not optimistic about future gas prices. K. Beaumont Duncan

Re: ‘Why has the price of gas not come down?’ by Greg Mccallum The price of extracting oil or natural gas from tar sands and fracking is not profitable at less than approximately $70-80 per barrel. Those extraction companies, including the major oil companies, have been losing money steadily, even at $100/barrel due to the costs associated with financing the extraction. Many of those oil company profits have been put right back into the search for new sources of oil. It is likely that within 10 years, we will not have the financial ability to extract the amounts of energy that we are using today. There is no physical law that will allow us to continue to live the way we have been living since 1900. There are hopeful delusions, such as, “surely someone will think of something, why there’s no REAL cheap energy problem, it is the evil rich or those nasty foreigners; maybe the Tesla battery and electric cars will save us, we deserve to live as we do”. I’m not sure that this planet really cares what a few billion people think we deserve. Physical limits described by the paper Limits to Growth have been derided, demonized, and laughed at again and again by those who do not understand the nature of physical reality. To quote: “Limits to Growth is a study about the future of our planet...” It is a Cassandra, but the thing is, Cassandra was right. Fascinating reading for those willing to question. (www. clubofrome.org/?p=326) It is more true today than when it was written in the early 1970s. Dirk Ouellette Cobble Hill/Mill Bay

Strategic plan for vulnerable children desperately needed Re: Valley children top Valley concern Recently we read about the presentation that Dr. Hasselback made to the Cowichan Valley Regional District in regards to the health challenges the community faces. Dr. Hasselback is quite clearly concerned about the wellbeing of children in our community, teens amongst them, as his strongest argument was for the CVRD to create strategic plan to deal with this most vulnerable sector. We at Growing Together, for 22 years now, have been assisting and supporting these young teens and their children. While some teens may be dealing with acne, school exams and planning and getting excited about what to wear to their graduation, these young women are struggling with diaper rash, the complexities of a new vocabulary, loss of friendships and when will they ever get

something new to wear? While others are getting the rest so very badly needed by teens, these teens are up at night dealing with colicky, teething or even sick babies. While yet others are considering choices such as future schooling or occupation, which may or may not impact their lives forever, these young people are being asked today to make decisions that will. What about the start and often frightening realization that one is responsible for another’s life, wellbeing, future? All pretty daunting tasks for someone as young as 15! Hard? You bet it’s hard and they need and deserve all the help we as a community can afford them. As a small non-profit, we are limited in funds to do more but more is needed to break the pattern of poverty and vulnerability that may lay ahead for the children of these parents. Each and every year, we are doing our best to provide high quality childcare so they can complete their education, food for their kids so they are assured

Friday, May 15, 2015

of a nutritious meal, clothing swaps, parenting guidance and supportive counselling to help them face some pretty adult issues in their still very young lives. By completing their education, our teen parents are modeling the importance of commitment and determination. Graduating from high school puts them on the road to having a career that will support their children in so very many ways. We will continue on doing what we can and we are confident that the CVRD will see the wisdom of creating the strategic plan to deal with all of the vulnerable children of the Cowichan Valley. As well, we look forward to other positive community wide solutions for the problems that beset our Valley’s children including the report’s identified significant and ongoing high rates of teen pregnancy and resulting parenthood.

Cloverleaf was never proposal I am not quite sure how James Watt, in reality, read that I proposed a cloverleaf for the Duncan crawl/TCH! What I proposed was a short-term fix to a big problem, using regular intersections at both Trunk Road and Beverly Street and an overpass at Coronation Avenue along with a pedestrian overpass at James Street. The faster vehicles can go through town the less pollution would be expelled, stopping and starting burns a lot more fuel than a constant speed.

Three per cent tax increase is the real issue

For example, it is true that Germany currently leads the world in use of solar power — largely because its hydro power is several times more costly than here. Further, Germany is shifting back to coal-fired power which has proven to be less costly and far more reliable than its solar power experiment. If Ms. Wallace wants to install solar power, good on her. Just don’t ask for tax dollar support.

All this agonizing over North Cowichan council’s decision to shift the tax burden from residential to commercial taxpayers addresses the wrong problem. The real question that should be asked is how did council let the tax bill balloon by more than three per cent in the first place? Even a quick glance at the budget reveals expenditures that can only be described as frivolous, impulsive and unnecessary. Others have already questioned why some sidewalk work is being done, or at least done now; and why staff have been allowed to create, incrementally over two years, an entire communications function that many would agree is wholly unnecessary and wasteful. And as for so-called grants in aid, a $162,000 grab bag of goodies,

Tom Masters most of which should never have been approved in the first place, council must be held accountable for that. The debate over distribution is important and its impact is real, but the five year financial plan that calls for three per cent increases every single year is the real issue. Let’s focus on that.

Ruest ‘giddy’ to head to Galapagos TEACHER, From Page 1 “I’ve questioned everything and I try to bring that back to my students as well, that questioning, but also that what we do has an impact on the world,” said Ruest. “That we’re not isolated. We’re interdependent. We need each other. And students know that nowadays. They want to make a difference.” Her goal is, “How can we as educators support that? How can we make them citizens of the 21st century, of the world, not just citizens of Chemainus, or B.C. or even Canada?” But thinking about how we’re all interconnected brings her right back to the Galapagos, where Victorian scientist Charles Darwin made his amazing discoveries. “That’s why it’s almost such a perfect place for me. It is kind of full circle, bringing that back not just to my students but trying to get that message of interdependence out to teachers, other schools. And that’s part of my job as Grosvenor Teacher Fellow for the next year or so, to do outreach for different community groups, to go to schools and spread the word about geographic literacy. That’s the whole concept of the teacher fellowships with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions,” she said. The teaching fellow program, now nine years old, has grown from when it started as a thank you from Lindblad ownership to honour National Geographic’s Gil Grosvenor for years of educating the world about geography. Ruest had sent in four essays as part of her application for a fellowship but then, as the weeks ticked by, she’d given up hope of joining an expedition. “It was amazing when I got the phone call. It was 3 o’clock in the afternoon on Feb. 7, I had just returned from a run. She said, ‘This is Mary from National Geographic. Would this be a good time to talk?’ When I heard I was going to the Galapagos, my reaction was: Wow, they picked me!” During her recent trip to D.C., Ruest met plenty of excited people. “We were all like giddy little children, anticipating what we would be able to do.”

The first members of the group left Tuesday, May 6 on a circumnavigation of the British Isles. Lindblad runs its trips along the lines of the old Jacques Cousteau expeditions, offering excursions on zodiacs to remote spots, diving, snorkeling, chances to learn from expert naturalists and watch National Geographic photographers and videographers at work. The people in Ruest’s 2015 group of fellows will be sailing right until December when the last of them, the ones going to Antarctica, take to the waves. In the intervening months, groups will be visiting the arctic, Greenland and the Galapagos Islands. Ruest’s own trip to the Galapagos Islands is not until September 11-20. She’s going with one other person, an educator from Louisiana, joining the others who are taking that particular Lindblad expedition on board the National Geographic Endeavour. “This will be the first larger grouping going to the Galapagos as part of this program. We’re very excited to be the forerunners for our fellowship,” she said. “What’s cool about this is that we’re going to be learning so much. I’m always taking courses or workshops, trying to change things I do in my classroom to make it more interesting for my students. We’ll have six to eight experts on flora and fauna on our ship, taking us out every day. The intrinsic value is amazing.” Finally, Ruest is thrilled that her success shows someone can get there, even from a school as small as Chemainus Secondary. “People may think if you teach at a small school you might not be chosen. But if you put yourself out there and apply for something as prestigious as the Grosvenor fellowship and make it, it’s inspirational. You keep going and trying to improve with learning all your life long.”

conomic development is an area of growing interest to local governments across Canada — especially in this age of environmental degradation, increasing income inequality, and scarcity of good jobs. With limited tools at our disposal, how do we create a healthy and prosperous economy where regular working people and the most vulnerable members of our society — not just a select few — are able to reap the benefits? Like many other local governments, the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) runs an economic development body that is involved in a range of activities from supporting the agricultural and tourism sectors, to developing a strong regional brand, and attracting and retaining investment. Established in 2001, Economic Development Cowichan (EDC) has produced a number of impressive studies and strategies, and has raised the profile of certain key industries, with culinary tourism being a prime example. Yet it has faced intense criticism in recent years, due to its struggles in reporting results, the perception that too many of its studies sit on the shelf collecting dust, and its dysfunctional relationship with the Economic Development Commission — an advisory body set up to provide the CVRD Board with guidance

Rob Douglas

Roger Hart

on economic development policies. An economic development study prepared for the CVRD earlier this year found “a high level of frustration amongst function participants at all levels stemming from a number of systemic problems, but fundamentally failures to follow Board strategic direction, failures to clarify roles and responsibilities, failures to pursue previously recommended corrective actions, and failure to communicate between the Board, the staff and the Economic Development Commission.” Others have argued that Economic Development Cowichan has put too much emphasis on attracting and retaining investment — what many characterize as a boiler plate approach to economic development that essentially puts the outside investor on a white horse — rather than mobilizing resources from within the community through local investment funds, training entrepreneurs to establish

their own businesses, or encouraging local ownership and small firms. The evidence suggests that small may indeed be beautiful, as the late economist E.F. Schumacher wrote. To quote the Harvard Business Review, “More small firms means more jobs. Cities relying on a few large nonlocal businesses have slower subsequent job growth than cities with an abundance of small firms.” Now may be the perfect time to shift gears. The CVRD’s economic development function is currently under review, and the newly elected Board is keen on exploring new ideas, having shown a willingness to re-think conventional approaches and consider alternatives. Earlier this year, the City of Nanaimo’s former Chief Administrative Officer, Jerry Berry, reviewed the governance of our regional economic development function. See LOCAL, Page 13

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

They concluded that the CVRD board “has to first consider [its] collective vision for Economic Development.… [and] whether or not the economy and the environment can or should be administratively separated, or should be seen as integrally linked. Sustainability typically means economically, environmentally, socially, and culturally”. Eager to follow through on Berry’s recommendations, board members and their municipal counterparts recently participated in a day-long workshop with leaders of a provincial economic development association to learn about many of the conventional approaches local government has taken towards stimulating their regional economies over the years. Informative? Yes. Inspiring? Not so much judging by the declining attendance as the day wore on. The CVRD is now in discussions with former B.C. cabinet minister and current Vancity Director Bob Williams to hold an additional workshop that would present a fresh and radically different perspective on community economic development. Williams was one of the key architects in Vancity’s emergence as a powerhouse in community economic development in recent decades, is a well-known advocate for co-operatives and other alternative business models, and has developed a sophisticated vision on reviving B.C.’s forest industry by de-centralizing control of our forests and lands (and perhaps water) to the regional level. So where do we go from here? We would argue that the old approach to economic development has been cost-

ly, frustrating to staff and commission members alike and has produced few metrics that demonstrate any success. A new model is needed — one that is guided by a vision endorsed by municipal leaders; one that empowers citizens and our local businesses; one that respects the environment and leaves enough for future generations; one that allows the most vulnerable of our community to participate in the economy; and one that creates good jobs close to home. We feel the CVRD should follow Five Big Ideas to guide its future community economic development: Small Business Support, Community Investment Funds, Local Ownership, Anchor Institutions, and Co-operatives. All have proven effective in other parts of the world, and they could allow us to chart a new course. Over the coming weeks, we will release a five-part series exploring each of these ideas and suggesting how the CVRD can move forward in creating a more prosperous community where no one is left behind.

employee, it has always stuck with me that she described the sound of the detonation of the first torpedo as the slamming of a vault door. She recalled that there was no panic, that passengers were stunned, incredulous, that they’d been hit. Even when the truth began to register few seemed to be alarmed, so convinced were they that a ship the size of the Lusitania — 790 feet long — wouldn’t sink. (Despite the fact that this was just three years after the Titanic —Ed.) A second torpedo put that mistaken confidence to rest and sealed the ship’s doom. By the time the last survivors were rescued, 1,200 men, women and children — all of them civilians — were dead. It took two more years for the United States to enter the war. When the first Yankee troops poured into war-torn Europe, it was with the battle cry, “Remember the Lusitania!”

• Island Savings members who love country music are looking at an exciting summer. They are eligible for discounted pricing on full-event passes to Sunfest as a special promotion running until July 15 and there’s also the chance to win a VIP package that includes the opportunity to meet Sunfest’s headliner, superstar Keith Urban. Discount codes, providing a $25 savings on full-event passes as well as ballots for the Keith Urban contest will be available at all Island Savings branches from May 5 to July 15. “We’re proud to partner with the people who bring us Sunfest every year,” said Karen Foster, branch manager at Island Savings’ Duncan Centre and Cowichan Commons branches. “We’re thrilled to see the boost Sunfest

gives local businesses and the economy each year and we love the festival’s commitment to supporting locally grown talent.” • The Vancouver Island Sikh Cultural Society has donated $3,000 to the Auxiliary to the Cowichan District Hospital. “We have been considering where this donation should go,” Auxiliary President Claire Wessan said. “It would be appropriate to recognize not just this donation but the continued support of the Sikh community. We received $4,500 last year and once a year the ladies from the Sikh community come together and make samosas, etc. that are given to us to sell at the hospital, a very popular initiative. This year we were sold out in 10 minutes and made $1,000. They have volunteered to do this twice a year now.”

Three years in, western bluebirds thriving in Valley LESLIE MARIAN NEILSON SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

Western bluebirds had been extinct from Vancouver Island for almost 20 years when a group of local conservation organizations came together in 2012 to reintroduce the species to their former range, starting in the Cowichan Valley. Now, three years into the Bring Back the Bluebirds project, western bluebirds can once again be found flying, nesting and breeding in the Cowichan Valley, with additional sightings from Nanaimo to Victoria. “We are very happy with the success of this reintroduction effort,” says Jemma Green, the Bring Back the Bluebirds project coordinator. “Each year the number of birds returning to the Valley increases. In 2013 we had four birds return; in 2014 there were eight; and this year we have 20 and counting. And just last week the first nestlings of 2015 hatched. There are six of them and so far they are doing well.” Once common in Garry oak meadows and savannahs throughout the region, the western bluebird population in British Columbia became extirpated (locally extinct) in 1995. Habitat loss and competition for nest holes with exotic birds are among the reasons for the loss of these tropical-looking songbirds. Bring Back the Bluebirds is led by the Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team, in partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Ecostudies Institute,

The first pairs of western bluebirds brought up to Vancouver Island in 2012 were released on the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve in Duncan. Each year since then some of the birds have returned to this site to nest and raise their young. This year is no exception. Two pairs and one unpaired male can be seen regularly at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve. One of the paired males

fledged at the preserve in 2012 and has returned three years in a row to breed there. The other paired male and the unpaired male are both his offspring; both fledged at the preserve in 2013. “We host monthly bluebird survey volunteer events at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve and around the Valley, and every time we have been able to spot some bluebirds,” said Katy Fulton, who coordinates volunteer events for the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

Protect the environment with safe boating

How to prevent or alleviate symptoms of seasickness

Many people who go boating or sailing experience motion sickness. It is estimated that most of the population has had a bout of motion sickness at one point in their lives. Few things can spoil a day at sea faster than a bout of seasickness. People from all walks of life can experience motion sickness, whether it occurs on the water, in a moving car or even on an amusement park ride. Those who have experienced it may avoid activities that spark symptoms or may be eager to find ways to prevent it in the future. Evidence suggests that seasickness can affect nearly all the passengers on a cruise ship during rough water conditions. Seasickness often occurs as a result of a conflict of bodily senses. A fluid-filled canal in the inner ear called the vestibular system controls a person’s sense of balance, telling the body that it is moving. When you are in an enclosed ship cabin or not paying attention to the moving ship around you, the ears will tell you that you are moving, but your eyes may advise the brain that you’re not. This conflict can cause your body to be out of balance and can also create discomfort in the digestive system and feelings of nausea. Researchers at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California, reported in 2003 that 70 percent of research subjects with severe motion sickness had abnormalities of the vestibular system. These abnormalities are often found in patients diagnosed with migraines or Meniere’s disease. Therefore, if you are prone to headaches, you may have a heightened risk for motion sickness. There are many different symptoms of seasickness. These include fatigue, cold sweats, headache, increased salivation, vomiting, rapid breathing, difficulty concentrating, panic, frequent yawning, and even a buzzing sensation. If you are interested in preventing seasickness, there are some things to try. It may take some trial and error to find the method that works for you, as there is no universal cure for sufferers of seasickness. * Avoid troublesome foods. Do not eat greasy or acidic foods or dairy products several hours before traveling. It’s best to avoid heavy foods that will be sloshing around in your stomach when setting sail.

In addition, steer clear of diuretics like alcohol and caffeine that can cause your body to dehydrate faster. * Drink plenty of water. Even partial dehydration lowers your body’s resistance to the stress caused by a boat ride. * Avoid being overheated, which can exacerbate feelings of nausea.

• Keep trash on the vessel. Do not discard any items over the side of the boat. Even seemingly harmless items can impact the environment. Store garbage in a bag and dispose of it properly when you return to the marina or dock. Secure items onboard so they will not blow off and end up in the water. • Avoid antifouling paints. Antifouling paints are special paints applied to the underside of vessels to prevent or slow down the growth of barnacles and other organisms. Maritime New Zealand notes that these paints can harm other sea life and prove dangerous when scraped off and not discarded properly. • Keep boats in proper working order. Poorly maintained boats may harm the environment. Inefficiently working engines can produce more exhaust and contaminate the air and water. Oil and other mechanical fluids can leak

into the water and affect the marine environment. Proper maintenance helps keep boats safe and minimizes their impact on the environment. • Use pump-out stations. Pump out stations at marinas enable boaters to safely dispose of the contents from sanitary systems without waste ending up in the water.

MAYnd 16-20

Recreational boating reaches its peak when the weather warms up and people take to waterways in droves. Spending a day on the water enjoying the scenery or trying your luck at fishing are popular pastimes. Following proper boating practices and etiquette can protect everyone onboard. Although ensuring passenger safety should be a priority, safeguarding against environmental impacts while boating also should be a concern. Marinas and various marine areas can become contaminated with pollutants generated from boating activities. Boat cleaning, fueling and marine head discharge are just a few of the pollutants that can find their ways into the water. A past study in the marine reserve of Cape Creus in the Mediterranean Sea found that boat anchoring also is a considerable threat to marine habitats, as vulnerable ecologies can be damaged by anchors. Although there are regulations in place to protect marine life and ecosystems, these rules aren’t always adhered to. Recreational boaters can do their part to keep oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes pristine by adhering to some sound advice. • Reduce engine exhaust. Whenever possible, row, paddle or use sails to decrease engine use and subsequent exhaust. When engines must be used, do not idle unnecessarily. Always steer clear of the aft of the boat, where fuel fumes and carbon monoxide can cause serious health implications.

2nd Annual Marine Garage Sale, Swap Meet, Used Boat Show & Live Auction

* Eat a light meal a few hours before going out on the water. This will keep stomach acids busy on food rather than causing agita on the trip. * Try to avoid the cabin and other contained spaces. Fresh air and the ability to look at the horizon can help balance the information received from the eyes and the ears.

Saturday, May 23rd

* Stay in the center of the boat, which is often the steadiest area. The bow and the stern will have more motion and can contribute to seasickness.

9 am - 4 pm

* Avoid lying down if you become queasy. It’s best to stand up and look at the horizon. You also may want to steer the boat for a few minutes. This can reset the signals being received by the brain.

Cowichan women fall in final KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan’s senior women’s team fell short in their attempt to defend the provincial First Division championship at Brockton Oval last Saturday, falling 27-17 to United. Cowichan had defeated United at the end of the regular season, but the squad that took the field last weekend bore little resemblance to that one. “The United team that stepped onto the field at the B.C. finals was not the same team we played three weeks ago,” Cowichan captain Sherry Spence said. “But with that being said, Cowichan was ready to play a hard game.” Both teams played solid, hard-hitting defence, but Cowichan was set back by a pair of game-changing calls from the referee. Laura Russell and Michelle Moore scored tries, however, and Moore added a convert, and the teams ended the first half tied at 12-12. Russell added another try in the second half, but United replied with three, and Cowichan had to concede the provincial title. “When the final whistle blew, we had lost the game, but we couldn’t be upset with the performance that we displayed,” Spence said. “United is a great

team, and you can’t take that away from them. If the two calls from the referee would have went our way, would it have made a difference? I don’t know, But either way, that’s the way it goes.” Losing the title gives Cowichan some-

thing to work toward next season. “There is room for improvement for next year,” Spence said. “United knew our strengths and marked them. they had a strong forward pack that made for tough scrums.”

Cow High boys locked in for B.C. tourney KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A 43-10 win over G.P. Vanier last week earned Cowichan Secondary School’s senior boys rugby team a berth in the provincial AAA championships later this month. “Vanier has held this provincial berth for more than a decade, so the victory was even more meaningful,” coach Kenton McNutt said. “The entire bench of 26

players contributed to the win, another complete team effort.” The team will be doing fundraising in the community between now and the provincial tournament, hoping to offset some of the costs of the five-day tournament in Abbotsford. “If you see them out there or they come to your business, any type of support is greatly appreciated,” McNutt said. “They love the sport of rugby and

love representing their school and the Cowichan region.” Seven teams from the Valley have qualified for their respective provincial championship tournaments: Cowichan Secondary and Shawnigan Lake School in the boys AAA, Brentwood College School and Frances Kelsey Secondary in the boys AA, Cowichan Secondary in the girls AAA, and Shawnigan and Brentwood in the girls AA.

After nine years, DCS back in girls soccer provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

For the first time in nine years, Duncan Christian School’s girls soccer team is headed to the provincial single-A championships. The Chargers last qualified in 2006, when they were the tournament hosts. They had previously qualified for the first time in 2004. This time around, the Chargers have qualified as the third-place team from the Island, having claimed the bronze medal at the tournament hosted by Glenlyon Norfolk School earlier this week. The Chargers had a tough draw in their opening game on Tuesday as they faced the powerhouse host squad, but Mikayla Cook was able to prevent DCS from being shut out. The second game went much better for the Chargers as they downed Lake Cowichan 6-1. Cook scored three goals, while Zoey Alyward, Rachelle VanBoven and Lauren King-Nyberg had one each.

The Ladysmith Dodgers went undefeated in the Chris Fenton Memorial Peewee Baseball Tournament in Chemainus last weekend, capping it off with an 11-4 victory over the Duncan Royals in the championship game. Behind the second-place Royals, the Ladysmith Orioles finished third, while the Lake Cowichan Lakers were voted the Most Sportsmanlike Team of the tournament. The Chemainus Canadians won one of their four games. The 10-team field included one squad each from Chemainus, Saltspring Island and Lake Cowichan, two from Ladysmith and Nanaimo, and three from Duncan.

Host school wins two races at Shawnigan’s annual regatta KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Nearly 700 athletes from 23 clubs and schools took to the water last weekend for Shawnigan Lake School’s annual regatta. “The regatta went really well,” Shawnigan head of rowing Tim Coy said. “The weather was perfect, and the whole thing ran smoothly without delays.” The host school won two races: the junior A men’s coxed four and the junior C girls double. Vic City Rowing Club won both the men’s and women’s junior A eights, arguably the most prestigious events of the regatta. Elliot Rogers of Brentwood College School won the junior A men’s single, while Stephanie Grauer of Crofton House won the junior A women’s single.

BSB wins thriller with late touchdown KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A late touchdown by Perri Espeseth propelled the Blue Steel Brew to a 19-13 victory over the Wild in the Cowichan Women’s Football League last Friday night. The teams were tied with three plays remaining when Espeseth took the handoff from quarterback Michelle Nederlof and ran it in for the winning points. Mila Main and Michaela Peet had the Blue Steel’s other touchdowns, and Main added the convert on Peet’s score. On defence, Heidi Haslam and Kirbee Crisp each registered a sack. The Wild got their touchdowns from Val Chambers and Rhiannon Kemmler, with a convert by Erica Dow and a sack by Teresa Melchior. The Ravens and Crew were also supposed to play on Friday night, but the Crew had to forfeit, and the game will go in the books as a 25-0 win for the Ravens. When the Ravens did get to play on Sunday morning, they managed a 26-20 come-frombehind victory over the Blue Steel. The Ravens got a pair of touchdowns from Jamie Russell, who also had an interception and

a blocked pass. Dana Thorne and Rikki Wylie also scored, Wylie and Morgan Rogers had converts, and Lauren James finished with three sacks. The Blue Steel got touchdowns from Espeseth, Main and Haslam. Haslam also had a sack and a convert, while Monni Savory also contributed a convert. Also Sunday, Moo’s Law topped the Snap Fitness Sirens 27-21. Scoring for the Sirens were Christine Cronin-Switzer with two touchdowns and a convert and Carmen Zimmer with one touchdown. Zimmer also had an interception, Shelly McKay had a convert and a pick, and Hailey Hatcher had a convert. The Crew were back in action on Sunday, and showed no ill effects from missing their game on Friday. Nicole Pugh led the Crew with three touchdowns, while Marilou Sullivan and Willy Toews each had two, with one of Sullivan’s coming off an interception. Lenneke Vinoly added a confer and Alita Mattin had an interception. The Storm continued to improve steadily. Caitlin Evans had two touchdowns, while Carly Boyd and Rachel Paddle added one each. Rachel Pugh had two sacks, and Boyd and Jennifer Elliott recorded interceptions.

The peewee Cowichan Bulldogs tamed the Oceanside Lions last Sunday, earning a 22-8 road victory in Parksville. The Bulldogs wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as Jaxson Jones caught the opening kickoff and wound his way through the Oceanside defence to score the first touchdown of the game. “Blocking on the kick return has been a focus during practice and it showed,” head coach Devon Lawrence said. The Lions attempted to come right back, but the Cowichan defence put a quick stop to their outside game thanks to big plays by cornerbacks Jason Boyd and Kepler Marshall. Before the first half was over, running back Zach Pearson found his way to the outside and drove through to the end zone behind the blocking of slotback Jeevan Nijjar. Jones made his first appearance as kicker, and added two points to Pearson’s major. “Kicking the point after touchdown is more difficult at this level, and as such it is worth two points rather than the standard one in the pros,” Lawrence explained. The Lions started strong in the second half and managed to score their first points of the season. That got the Cowichan defence working even harder. Linebacker Jesse Kwasny stopped anything that came his way, and safety Sawyer Ellison got in on several tackles. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs offence kept marching, led by fullback Brock Lamont, and Jones capped off the scoring with his second touchdown. The junior bantam Bulldogs visited the Saanich Wolverines last Sunday, where they played exceptionally well down the stretch in a 40-20 loss. The game started slow as the teams tried to get a feel for each

other’s game, but the Wolverines began to pick up the pace first. “Getting out of the gates slow seems to be a trend this year for us,” head coach Tim Maertz commented. By the middle of the second quarter, Cowichan trailed by three touchdowns. The Bulldogs had opportunities to get into the game, but weren’t able to capitalize. Thanks to a change in tactics, they surged in the third quarter. “The running game had hit a snag, so we started to throw the ball, with successful completions,” Maertz said. Evan Kwasny caught the first touchdown pass of his career to get the Bulldogs on the scoreboard, but the Wolverines responded with two more majors of their own. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Bulldogs started to show what they can do. “It was a nice change,” Maertz said. “The players started getting fired up.” Kilion VennRyan scored on a passing play, then made a big block for Carson Maertz, who scored Cowichan’s third and final touchdown. “Kilion has really been on fire lately,” coach Maertz said. “He’s a great kid who is very passionate for the game.” The Bulldogs had the momentum on their side as time ticked down, and if the game was little longer, they might have turned the tide. “If there was another quarter in the game, I think we could have won,” coach Maertz said. “If we had brought that fourth-quarter intensity and determination to the start of the game, the outcome would have been in favour of the Bulldogs.” The junior bantam Bulldogs will visit the Nanaimo Redmen this weekend, while the peewees have a bye. Both teams will be at home on May 23 against Gordon Head.

Big play preserves tie in U10 flag KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Jacob Bilina made a huge play to preserve a tie at the end of Blue’s game against Yellow in Cowichan Bulldogs U10 Flag Football last Saturday. Bilina opened the scoring for Blue by scoring on a handoff from quarterback Zoe Billings. The diverse Billings followed that up with a touchdown of her own, and Easton Jubenville added a third major for Blue. Matteo Breckenridge set the tone with a big play for Yellow, with Jaxson Ross scoring his team’s first touchdown. Parker Lawrence also scored on a handoff from Alex Amini, and Nat Davies had a great run to score his touchdown. Bryson Day had a big flag for a key defensive play. The Green and Red teams also played to a close game. “Both teams made some excellent plays on the turf this sunny Saturday,” coach Opie Williams said.

Green was missing Logan Elzinga, put picked up Jackson Kuntz from Red. After two touchdowns by Green’s Elliot Beauregard, Kuntz added a two-point convert. All five Green players got to try their hands at rushing the Red quarterback, and nearly pushed the Red offence back into their own zone when Beauregard sacked their quarterback. Red opened the scoring on a great run from Cody Williams, but then struggled against the Green Machine defence. Ryder Maertz had a great diving flag to stop Beauregard. Toward the end of the game, Red tried some trick plays with Cody Williams at quarterback: he handed off to Maertz, who in turn handed off to Jaeden Williams, who returned the ball to Cody William, who broke in to score. With one play remaining, Red tried another trick play with Rylan Rowe handing off to Parker Jubenville, but he was stopped just short.

Photo by Dave Rubenstein. She was one of the very first tennis players I ever interviewed and took photos of. She was the very first Canadian to win a major title on the WTA circuit back in 2008 at the Bank West Classic in California. She is fluent in three languages, Polish, French and English. Any guesses? Of course I am talking about Alexsandra Wozniak, from Blainville, Quebec. With the emergence of Milos Raonic, Vasek Pospisil and Eugenie Bouchard, Alex has been out of the limelight for a couple of years now. Injuries have really taken a toll on her. The worst one being a shoulder injury that virtually wiped out the last two tennis seasons for her. I contacted her media presentative a few weeks ago, and he said Alex is training hard again, but would not be doing any interviews while she concentrates on getting her fitness level to where she wants it. Wozniak is sometimes mistaken for Caroline Wozniacki, and in fact they have had some close contact over the years. In 2009 Alex made it to the semi-final of the Aegon International Tennis Tournament in Eastbourne, before losing to Caroline. It’s a tournament I have covered for a number of years now. Alex reached a career high of 21st in the WTA standings back in 2008. When she won the Bank West Classic event she defeated a number of top players including Marion Bartoli of France in the final. The city of Blainville that year renamed the city for one day by calling it Wozniackville in honour of Alex’s huge win, Alex noted in my interview, “it was a great thrill for me.”! Wozniak is an extremely personable person, and when I mentioned to her, my grandfather on my mother’s side came from Poland, she stated,” no wonder we are getting along so well Dave”! I was speechless for a couple of seconds and that is very rare for me! Wozniack has always been very supported of many tennis events put on by Tennis Canada, helping kids to learn and enjoy the game of tennis. When healthy she has contributed to the Canadian Fed Cup team for years. I sincerely hope she will get back on the
