CONTAMINATED SOIL

Dumping can continue, appeal court rules ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

South Island Aggregates’s Stebbings Road site can continue to accept contaminated soil for the time being, the appeal court has ruled. [CITIZEN FILE]

7603925

The trucking of contaminated soil to Shawnigan Lake has been given the green light to continue, at least until later this summer.

The BC Court of Appeal made that determination on May 13 when it tossed out an appeal by the Cowichan Valley Regional District, which was asking for work to stop at the controversial contaminated soil dump.

The court, presided over by a three-judge panel, also turned down the regional district’s request that if soil continued to be imported to the site, the owners should be required to post a security of $12 million to cover the costs of removing it.

The court’s decision means that the importation of soil to the site can continue until the court hears an appeal in August from South Island Aggregates and Cobble Hill Holdings, the owners of the landfill.

The owners are appealing a ruling made by the BC Supreme Court in March that a contaminated soil treatment facility and landfill are not permitted uses

“I expect that our next focus will be ensuring that the ruling will be upheld.”

JON LEFEBURE, CVRD chairman

of the property, located on Stebbings Road.

The supreme court ordered at the time that no further soil could be imported to the site until the company’s appeal of that decision is heard in August.

But that ruling was set aside last month by the BC Court of Appeal’s Justice Pamela Kirpatrick, who decided to allow the importation of soil to continue until the appeal is heard.

That decision led to the appeal by the CVRD that was turned down on May 13.

Jon Lefebure, chairman of the CVRD, said the loss of the appeal is “unfortunate.”

He said the regional district was hoping for some assurance that if more soil was allowed to be imported to the site until August, there would eventually be funds available to remove it.

“But the BC Supreme Court has ruled that this operation does not fit the CVRD’s bylaws, and that ruling still stands,” Lefebure said.

“The appeal to that ruling will be heard in August and, while I’m not a lawyer, I expect that our next focus will be ensuring that the ruling will be upheld.”

Aurora Faulkner-Killam is a lawyer from the Victoria-based law firm Cox, Taylor that is representing the landfill’s owners.

She said the panel of judges recognized that Justice Kirkpatrick’s decision was not in error and balanced the “serious financial hardship” imposed on the owners by the immediate interruption of their business, with the CVRD’s desire to enforce its zoning bylaws.

“Kirkpatrick also expressly recognized in her decision the public interest and public need for a south Shawnigan solution to the problem of illegal dumping of contaminated soil, and accepted that the Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Appeal Board view this mine as part of the solution,” Faulkner-Killam said in a statement.

Martin Block, a director with Cobble Hill Holdings, one of the companies that owns the landfill, added that if Furstenau is saying that Shawnigan Lake has been contaminated as a result of the operation of the site based on the report, “she is making an untrue statement.”

Furstenau denied that anyone made a report to Island Health on the spill at the lake on her behalf.

In early November 2015, Island Health issued a precautionary

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

no-use water advisory for the south end of Shawnigan Lake due to a suspected overflow of water from the landfill site after receiving reports that water was leaking into the lake from the site after heavy rains.

But officials from the Ministry of Environment conducted tests and determined after a few days that there was no risk to public health and lifted the advisory.

Furstenau said she has no idea who made the report that led to the health advisory, and at no time did she have any contact with Island Health over the spill.

“I have also not stated that Shawnigan Lake has been contaminated as a result of Cobble Hill Holding’s contaminated soil-landfill facility,” Furstenau said.

“I have, however, raised concerns that according to the Ministry of Environment’s samples of water discharged from the site in November, levels of aluminum, iron and manganese exceeded the province’s drinking water guidelines.”

Electronics now recyclable items at Bings Creek, Peerless Road recycling centres CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Regional District has added electronics, including televisions, computers, electronic toys, music equipment, medical monitoring control devices, to the list of materials that can be recycled at Bings Creek and Peerless Road Recycling Centres.

All electronics are recycled in accordance with the Electronic Product Recycling Associations stewardship program.

The program ensures electronics are diverted from landfills and processed in a manner

that protects the environment as well as the health and safety of workers.

Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, materials such as plastics, metal and glass are reclaimed for the manufacturing of new products.

The CVRD already offers recycling for outdoor power equipment and small appliances and power tools under its associated stewardship programs.

Meade Creek Recycling Centre will begin collection of electronics after upgrades to

the recycling centre have been completed within the next two years.

“Adding a stewardship program to enable more electronics to be accepted for recycling at CVRD facilities is something we have wanted to do for some time,” said CVRD board chairman Jon Lefebure. “Thanks to collaboration with Island Return It, the collection of additional electronics is now possible.”

Open fires were banned in most areas of the BC Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction on Friday, though campfires are still allowed.

This prohibition will remain in effect until Oct. 21, or until the public is otherwise notified.

The order covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands within the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction, with the exception of the extreme West Coast area known as the fog zone, which includes the westernmost part of the Cowichan Valley.

Specifically, this prohibition applies to burning of piles of material or of stubble or grass.

Also, fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels or burning cages of any description are prohibited.

Even target practice with a rifle falls under the ban.

However, this prohibition does not ban campfires that are a halfmetre high by a half-metre wide or

Save-On-Foods stepping up for local charities Thompson, who has been working for McDonald’s for nine years, was awarded his prize last month at the Ray Kroc Awards Gala in Florida.

“It’s an amazing feeling to be selected as one of the top restaurant managers around the world for 2016, and I’m thrilled to be recognized among such a talented group of peers,” Thompson said.

“I could not have done this without the hard work, dedication and unwavering support from my team.”

First up was the Hospital Appreciation Luncheon on May 12 at Cowichan District Hospital as part of Nursing Week.

Workers from the store were joined by members of the Kinettes that day in serving barbecue hot dogs and hamburgers to the hard-working staff at the hospital.

They will also be on hand on May 18 to help with the Rotary Club’s pancake breakfast, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., at the Duncan Mall, which is served in combination with the club’s popular Spelling Bee for Literacy fundraiser.

Barry O’Riordan, the market’s executive director, said the survey will determine who the visitors are to the popular market, where they came from, how many there are and what their preferences of products are.

He said the survey will also ask how much each visitor spends at the market, and what other activities they have planned for the area while in Duncan.

“It’s the type of survey that is used at farmers’ markets throughout the U.S. And Canada, but it’s the first time we’ll be doing it here,” O’Riordan said.

“It will help us with grant applications with local governments, and will help new vendors in the market determine

their potential turnover, among other uses.”

O’Riordan said the survey will be held on either May 21 or May 28, depending on the availability of the volunteers, and will be the first of three that will be conducted this summer.

He said the application forms for volunteers is available on the market’s Facebook page, and completed forms should be emailed to themarketmanager1@gmail.com

Duncan McDonald’s manager wins award Casey Thompson, manager of the McDonald’s restaurant on the Trans Canada Highway in Duncan, has won a Ray Kroc Award, an accolade that recognizes the top performing McDonald’s restaurants globally.

Thompson was one of 340 McDonald’s managers from around the world to receive the honour for 2016, which includes a cash prize and a trophy.

The shovels are finally in the ground for the long-anticipated Stocking Creek Open Market in Saltair.

John Morris, owner of Saltair Properties and the developer of the project, said the plan is to construct 16 small retail buildings, in the range of approximately 1,800 square-feet each, over the next two or three years to create a Coombslike open-air market.

He said the first two units are expected to be completed and ready for occupancy within the next three months in the first phase of the construction plan.

Morris said he began planning for the approximately $5-million project in 2014, but the bureaucracy involved to receive the municipal zoning to move forward with construction took some time.

“It will be perfect for small, momand-pop operations that are looking for cheaper accommodations,” he said.

“There’s a strong demand for these types of shops in the region.” robert.barron @cowichanvalleycitizen.com

THUMBS UP FOR KEEPING IT CLEAN

Municipality of North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure, far left, poses with students and staff from Cowichan Secondary School in front of a sign that encourages visitors to Mount Prevost to keep the mountain free of garbage. The sign, created by the school’s art students, was unveiled at the intersection of Somenos and Mount Prevost roads. In 2015, 110 students and staff from the school collected 1,100 kilograms of garbage and recyclables from the area in a partnership with the municipality.

Joyce Hill has been looking for her daughter’s lost cat around the Shawnigan Lake area since the feline bolted from her home on May 8.

Tigger is one of two cats belonging to Tonia, Hill’s 23-year-old daughter who has cerebral palsy and severe vision problems.

Hill said Tonia has been “in tears” since her beloved Tigger disappeared, and is not sleeping or eating properly.

She said Tigger, who is one-and-half years old, had never been outside before the naturally shy cat was “spooked” and escaped out a door of the house, located at 2628 Heald Rd., while visitors were arriving.

Since then, Hill has been canvassing the community with posters of Tigger and asking anyone who will listen if they had seen the cat in the neighbourhood.

She described Tigger, who is neutered and has a tattoo — W541C — on his ear, as white and grey with dark stripes that makes the cat look similar to a small Siberian tiger.

Hill said there have been reports of sightings of Tigger, with the last suspected sighting on Elford Road.

“I think Tigger is terrified and hungry and may be hiding somewhere,” she said.

“I don’t think the cat will approach anyone, so if anyone even thinks they may have seen him, please call either 250-715-8003 or 250-743-2645.

We’re getting desperate and any help we can get would be really appreciated.”

The reality is that many Canadian school libraries don’t have the necessary funds to provide students with adequate access to books, and the Foundation reports that the average

school library book is 16 years old and, on average, schools that apply for Literacy Grants have annual budgets of less than $8 per student — far below the minimum spend to ensure a healthy school library.

OUR VIEW

We’re going to have to adapt to survive

E

verything is early this year.

For those with gardens, this has been apparent for a couple of months.

You’ve probably already planted many of the seeds and seedlings you wouldn’t normally dare to put outdoors until the long weekend in May. Flowers, shrubs and trees have burst into bloom all at once, coming quickly, only to be quickly over.

So, too, has come the need to water your garden.

The soil is already hard as rock in some places it’s so dry.

So much for that early spring weed you hadn’t gotten to yet.

Unless you water first, it’s going to be tough to get at the roots.

The wildfire season has come upon us early as well.

The Coastal Fire Centre, of which the Cowichan Valley is a part, banned open burning at the end of last week, though it hasn’t yet banned campfires.

That, too, could be on the way a lot sooner than in previous years, so if you’ve got a camping trip planned, it’s probably a good idea to prepare yourself for cooking without flames.

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

The fire danger index seemed to skip moderate altogether and leap directly to high, where it now sits in many places.

In Crofton on the weekend two homes were damaged in a fire that spread in a matter of minutes. An outbuilding and an RV were destroyed in the blaze.

Everyone is understandably wary of just how fast fire can spread in these already dry summer-like conditions, after the wildfire that forced the evacuation of the entire community of Fort McMurray and surrounding smaller settlements.

Another wildfire in Alberta

was prompting more evacuations near the community of Fox Creek on Sunday.

That fire grew from 60 to over 800 hectares in a matter of hours.

It’s worrying to consider what it will be like in a month or two months time. The traditionally driest months are still to come.

It’s not just us. NASA reports that last month was the hottest April on record dating back to the 19th century.

Clearly our climate is seeing changes that are going to force us to adapt.

It means we can’t take water

Better things to pursue than Sams Auto/owner

ment, “Not to mention the type of persons this outlet attracts regularly.” I have never heard or seen a police incident at the food bank, though some may have occurred. But to disparage an entire group of people by the actions of one or two individuals is Trumpism at its worst.

And to finish on a positive note, the sidewalks and lane around the food bank are probably the cleanest in the neighbourhood. By 8 a.m. staff are out sweeping and do so all day.

My only complaint is that I don’t get to taste the delicious soup I know they are preparing when the tantalizing aroma wafts my way.

Regarding Sams Auto/Mr. Rashead property corner of Somenos Road and Highway 18: Mr. Rashead has occupied the property in question for some time now and has conducted his business with minimal impact to the neighborhood and has provided a service that is clearly in demand given the steady flow of vehicles through his facility.

Because of the siting of the property there is a limited market for its uses. For this reason I am thankful that he is there with his business.

The alternative would likely be another barren gas station site as evidenced at the Herd Road or James Street intersections.

Worse yet, in an underutilized condition, it could become a graffiti target much like the eyesore that is the former Brownsey block site. Far better, I believe, that North Cowichan exhaust some efforts in the monitoring and policing of those sites than in the dogged pursuit of an individual.

We have been residents of Somenos Road for 17 years and chose the area because of the rural nature and surrounding properties. Had we wanted the manicured landscapes and palatial homes of Oak Bay or Uplands we would also have been willing to accept the stringent bylaws governing what was acceptable uses of our properties. North Cowichan should be less concerned about the letter of the law and more willing to work with the owner for accommodations; remembering that businesses cannot spend constantly on improvements without a revenue source to finance the outlay.

for granted like we’re used to doing, for example.

Long showers, washing the car every weekend, and powerwashing the driveway aren’t going to be sustainable summertime regulars.

Storing more water when it’s abundant in the winter is going to become more of a priority, too.

Adaptation also includes basics like not throwing cigarette butts out the car window, or dropping them into the mulch beside the sidwalk. And put out your campfire. All of our lives are on the line.

Food bank a good neighbour and asset I live next door to this [Duncan] food bank and want to challenge the misinformation and the biases in Gordon Henderson’s letter last week.

Yes, the food bank has many clients daily; the need is great and its location is accessible.

The majority of clients arrive by foot; others come on bicycles, with walkers and canes, on motorized scooters or wheelchairs, and with small children in wagons. Of the very few who arrive by vehicle, many are elderly or have mobility issues.

The food bank vehicle traffic is a small fraction of that of the adjacent Mint Hair Design, employees of the businesses on

James Street, and visitors to the condominium next door. The statement that the food bank clients are, “taking up the entire street,” is simply not true.

He states, “Nobody seems to care, but the citizens of Garden Street.” Well some of us do care, but not as Mr. Henderson does.

I grow food for the bank and occasionally donate. Mint Hair Design cares. Last year they hosted a sidewalk open house with four chairs open to anyone who wanted a free professional styling or beard trim. The transformations were inspiring.

The food bank clients I chat with mirror the same spectrum of individuals you meet at the hockey rink, the grocery store, the mall. That is why I find most egregious Mr. Henderson’s state-

Air Canada missing the mark with a number of its policies

Pro-burning advocates just throwing up smokescreens

Air Canada’s stupid way of assigning seats for toddlers is a head-shaker. Didn’t they listen to flight attendants?

In one of its previous flings at a separately-branded service, Air Canada would not put people on an earlier flight if they made it to check in early.

It was a well-known maxim in the airline business that getting people into otherwise empty seats was smart business, as the later flight might be delayed or another airline want to pay for the seats when they had trouble. But some control freak in Air Canada hadn’t learned that.

Decades ago travellers preferred Canadian Pacific Airlines over Air Canada, due to better service, but CP was limited by government. Later, WestJet was able to start and prosper by serving customers who were fed up with Air Canada.

Not that WestJet is perfect — it botched handling of unaccompanied minors.

Like any other business, sharp thinking, in tune with customers and reality, learning from the past without being a slave to it, are keys to success. Sound values and good thinking skills are fundamentals, as explained on the philosophy page of the profitable Branch Bank and Trust’s web site.

That’s even the case with non-profit organizations. I know of a charity with bad management that was shunned by government; fortunately it reformed, so now has a win-win relationship. I’ve encountered two others who just become profligate with actions like mailing — they developed a bureaucratic mindset.

Pertinent to your area of publishing is the Island Corridor Foundation, which hasn’t organized a market test of commuter service, and apparently doesn’t plan to until well after it gets running again if it ever does. Air Canada’s foolishness is ho-hum compared to that, because it competes in the marketplace whereas the ICF is subsidized by taxpayers.

To Mary-Jane Bateman, Jason Wayne, et al I don’t really have any problem with you polluting the environment with your wood smoke, both from wood stoves or backyard burning. Just please, out of politeness, keep your smoke on your property. Do what you want on your place, but, should you trespass on my property, (i.e. like my lungs and breathing space) I reserve the right to protest, and ask you to stop.

I pay the same rate of electricity that you do so your complaints are meaningless. I have the same EMF on my property that you do so that’s no excuse. You are just throwing up smokescreens (if you’ll excuse the pun) to hide your lack of concern for others.

Someday pretty soon, oil will become the precious commodity it should have been all along. Fast cars, drives to the malls, chainsaws, lawn mowers and plastics of all kinds will have a heavy cradleto-grave price put on them.

Leave it in the ground until we all have the sense to use it wisely.

Two homes were damaged by a fire in Crofton late Saturday morning.

Volunteer firefighters from four different halls — Crofton, Chemainus, Maple Bay and South End — were called to the blaze on Adelaide Street.

“It started with a shed, and before our crews could get there, it spread to two houses,” Crofton Fire Chief Ken Rukus said.

One home sustained significant damage and is not habitable at this point.

Damage to the other house was more largely limited to the exterior. An RV was destroyed along with the shed.

The Crofton fire hall currently has a full contingent of firefighters, but had to call on the neighbouring departments because of a lack of manpower on the day, and for additional equipment, like the South End hall’s aerial truck.

“We called in different halls for different assistance,” Rukus confirmed.

About 40 firefighters were on scene altogether, and it took about four hours to put out the flames and clean up.

A woodpile next to the home that sustained the most damage was a factor in making the fire grow, Rukus said, and other homeowners can take a lesson from what happened there.

Woodpiles, brush and any other debris should not be located right beside a home.

“That definitely didn’t help,” Rukus said. “Anything that can burn is an issue.”

With wildfire season fast approaching, if it isn’t here already, every precaution should be taken.

“If we had been looking at a drier day with lots of wind, we could have lost a lot,” Rukus said.

HISTORY

What did the Canadian government do for its veterans?

T.W. Paterson

Chronicles Instead of being offered “the pick of the country” as promised

by Prime Minister Borden in 1917, veterans were being offered picks and shovels —M.A. Orford, Victoria.

F

or the hundreds of thousands of Canadian servicemen who returned from the First World War — what?

What, precisely, did the Canadian government do for them?

My maternal grandfather, who was gassed twice, shot through the knee and faced civilian life with damaged lungs, chronic ulcers and one leg shorter than the other, received a disability pension of $26 per month for himself, his wife and three daughters. And custom-made boots to counter his pronounced limp.

Even allowing for a century’s inflation, this doesn’t seem much for his sacrifice.

Returned soldiers who needed hospitalization received it, of course, and there were numerous attempts to encourage them to settle on the land with the aid of government grants and subsidies. But what else did the government do for the able-bodied soldiers, sailors and airmen who came back to a slowing economy once the war effort had subsided?

Left, Pte. John Thomas Green, Canadian Cycle Corps, returned from the First World War with lifetime injuries. [PHOTO COURTESY OF T.W. PATERSON] We get an idea, albeit an exaggerated and distorted one, from a meeting of a newly-formed branch of the Grand Army of United Veterans, a dissident offshoot of the Great War Veterans Assoc. Meeting for the first time in the Duncan Opera House, in September 1920, the 60 in attendance elected A. Griffin, president, A. Reid, vice-president, E. Helman, secretary-treasurer, and Messrs. Estridge, Bonsall, Shirlow, Middletown, Marsden and Dr. Swan, board members.

F. Eyre, South Vancouver president of the GAUV who was in the chair, began by declaring that his group wasn’t there as “Bolsheviks, reds or socialists, but to try to get veterans

to stand together to get their rights”. Provincial GAUV organizer J.L. Miller said the GWVA had accomplished much but had “reached the limit as far as veterans were concerned” because they “could not take political action”. He then claimed that some GWVA officers had “betrayed their fellows”.

His organization, which he claimed to have the support of 60 per cent of veterans, wanted every man to be “re-established” with the aid of a cash bonus of $2,000 for those who’d served in France, $1,500 for those who’d served in England, and $1,000 for those who’d served in Canada. This money, an estimated $340 million, he said, could be

raised through confiscation of corporate war profits or by compelling the CPR to pay taxes on “land given by the Dominion,” or from the indemnities imposed upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

Other goals were pensions to dependents, abolition of money qualifications for veterans seeking municipal office, proportional representation, exclusion of Asian immigrants, veteran appointments to the Senate, referendum and recall, taxes on unimproved lands, publication of ownership of newspapers, reform of the banking system and public ownership of forests, mines and oil wells!

And no government officials could hold office in the GAUV “unless specially nominated”.

Provincial GAUV secretary R.A. Webb denounced the government’s $30 million subsidy for farmers as a “profit for the bread of life”. The real problem with government, he said, was that it was controlled by profiteers. “We went to fight to protect our capitalistic system against the German capitalistic system and, as far as we were allowed, we won. If we can’t clear up this dirty, rotten mess it is our own fault. We control 1,000,000 votes and the total vote cast in the last election was 1,700,000.”

Instead of being offered “the pick of the country” as promised by Prime Minister Borden in 1917, veterans were being offered picks and shovels, raged M.A. Orford, GAUV president.

Most of the money ($76 million) spent to date on re-establishing

servicemen had been consumed by the cost of administration composed largely of “slackers... in fat jobs”. British, Australian and New Zealand veterans did better, he said. Another villain in his view were veterans who’d “sold out” their fellows for rewards he didn’t specify. As for paying for it all, he reminded the audience that Canada’s successful Victory Loan campaigns which had indebted the nation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, clearly showed that the nation could meet veterans’ demands. He concluded by calling Borden “the biggest coward of them all” and a “fatuous ass”.

What about giving veterans preferred status for government job appointments? asked H. Richards of Vancouver. Why, he noted, right here in Duncan, the newly-hired city constable was a non-veteran! And Asiatics were getting other good jobs because they accepted lower wages. Why didn’t the government help returned servicemen learn new trades?

And so it went, with increasing vitriol and stronger rhetoric but with few practical suggestions for government improvement, further heated denials of being “Bolshies,” and pleas for more help for soldiers’ widows and orphans.

It remained for Col. G.E. Barnes, Crofton, to act as a moralistic counterweight.

Allowed to speak only after some discussion, he reminded those present that they’d served King and Country voluntarily.

To now demand $2,000 for their service would be selling their souls.

Did they, he asked, wish to go down in history as “fellows who took credit for voluntarily fighting for their country and then using that credit as a crowbar to lever $2,000 out of their fellows”?

His comments drew insults and dismissal of his service as a professional soldier.

Only officers who were commissioned in the field rated their consideration, he was told. With that, the meeting adjourned.

Viewed a century later, it serves to remind us of subsequent wars and criticism of the federal government’s approach to veterans’ affairs. www.twpaterson.com

ON STAGE

Chalkboard Theatre off to see the Wizard LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

If you’re off to see the Wizard with tickets in hand, good for you.

If you haven’t yet secured seats for Chalkboard Theatre’s presentation of The Wizard of Oz, you’d better get a move on.

This big musical hits the stage of the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre on Friday, May 20 at 7 p.m. and the show continues on Saturday afternoon, May 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are only $12.50 per person, too, so they’re flying out the door.

Chalkboard’s Tilly Lorence and Cathy Schmidt are looking after overall direction and the dancing while Laura Cardriver and Andrea Rodall are handling the musical side of things.

Putting on a show like The Wizard of Oz has been quite an adventure, Schmidt said.

“It’s a massive undertaking, especially with the age groups we’ve got. We have a six-to-eight year old class, a nine-to-12 year old class and then the 13-19 year olds. Tilly and Laura teach the older kids, and Andrea and I have the six-to-eights and the nine-to-12s,” she said.

It made it easy to cast Munchkins.

“We have some 40-odd munchkins. We’re always up for a challenge,” Schmidt said. “‘Munchkinland’ is really crazy because there are Munchkins everywhere. But, we’ve blended older kids into some of our younger kids’ scenes. We also have Members of the cast of The Wizard of Oz have some fun outdoors before supporting the annual MS Walk at the Cowichan Sportsplex.

Wolf Parade thrills with surprise Cobble Hill show If you’re preparing for a fivenight residency at New York City’s legendary Bowery Ballroom, there’s no better place to warm up than the Cobblestone Pub. Billed as “Del Scorcho,” Canadian indie rock heavyweights Wolf Parade — several of whose members call the Cowichan Valley home — played just

their second show in five years at the Cobble Hill watering hole on Thursday night, a day after making a surprise appearance under the same moniker in Nanaimo.

The Vancouver Island shows are Wolf Parade’s first since 2 0 1 1 . T h e va u n t e d q u a rtet — Spencer Krug, Dan Boeckner, Dante DeCaro and Arlen Thompson — played a 90-minute set heavily weight-

The band will play the Bowery Ballroom on May 17-21, Lee’s Palace in Toronto on May 24-26, and the Scala in London on June 14-15. A deluxe reissue of Apologies to the Queen Mary dropped on Friday, and a new record, EP4, came out on Tuesday.

Join Truvy, M’Lynn, Clairee and the gang for Robert Harling’s play, Steel Magnolias, in a twoweek run at the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road in Duncan starting May 25.

Evening performances are scheduled for May 25-28 and again from June 2-4 at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m matinee lined up for Sunday, May 29.

This play is a favourite with female actresses because it celebrates the strengths of women, and their ability to turn tragedy into triumph.

The production marks the directorial debut of the Mercury Players’ Leslie Sanchez, who has appeared in many local plays as a talented actress.

The cast this time includes Brooklyn Minnie as Shelby, Angie Brockhurst as M’Lynn, Phaedra Fairwell as Truvy and Lauren Cooper as Annelle. Back after a few years away is Laurel Hibbert as Clairee and, making her acting debut as Ouiser is Camille Holmes.

Sanchez said she loves the play herself because it offers so much scope for actresses.

“It’s about strong women, and the strength of their friendship.

It helps them through every-

thing they go through. Everyone has something going on in their lives. It’s so well written; it’s hilarious and touching. It’s a funny play that will also make you cry; I love it,” she said.

Sanchez said that directing such a talented cast has been a great experience and she also praised the work of her stage manager, David Brockhurst, and the producer, Cathy Schmidt.

Admission is $20 for adults, and $15 for students and seniors.

Tickets are available at Ten Old Books, First Chiropractic Clinic, by email from cathyschmidt59@ gmail.com, or by phone at 250-746-6897.

Or, you can get them at the door, but if you are looking for the matinee, it’s a good idea to get them soon. That show is usually popular.

GERONTOLOGY

Course aims to serve region’s demographic LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

V

ancouver Island University has decided to directly address the Island’s changing demographic by offering a gerontology diploma.

To serve the vast numbers of older residents and newcomers retiring to the warm Coastal climate, VIU says there’s a need for professionals who understand the diverse and evolving needs of older adults.

A graduate diploma in gerontology, offered online starting this fall, takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the physical, social, cognitive and spiritual needs of older adults.

It will offer practitioners and other professionals in a variety of fields the specialized knowledge they need when working with this diverse population.

According to Dr. Louise Stern, a social worker herself and chair of the gerontology program, this kind of program

The gerontology course will be offered by VIU online. [CITIZEN FILE] is vital to the region because in the next 20 years, the population of those aged 75-plus is expected to increase at about five times the rate of the overall population increase.

Health care, human services and social care are three primary occupational areas on the Island, and the region even now has a disproportionate number of retirees, residential care centres and seniors-based services, she said.

Most bachelor-level programs in the health and social services fields only touch briefly on the subject of aging, yet many people entering those careers or who are employed in the community will find themselves working with older adults without the necessary expertise.

This program will help fill that educational gap.

“Many of these graduates end up working with older people and they don’t really have an

understanding of what the aging process looks like,” she said, pointing out the program’s unique interdisciplinary approach.

Teachers from a variety of backgrounds and areas of training will be featured.

Dr. Marilyn Malone, Island Health Medical Director for Seniors Health, is happy to see VIU going proactive on a burgeoning problem.

“With aging, the heterogeneity of population groups increases within every older cohort,” she explains.

“One-year-olds are much more similar to each other than 10-year-olds are similar to other 10-year-olds.

The differences between centenarians are far greater still.”

So students can look at how that chance will affect many different aspects of society, such as housing, urban planning, business, and education, in addition to health care.

“The oldest of the old are the most rapidly growing group, and many older adults will be primary caregivers for their parents,” Malone said.

Dr. Aggie Weighill, chair of VIU’s recreation and tourism management department, said this focus is needed on the Island.

“For our grads, having a greater awareness of the aging process means we can create communities that are better designed for adults to age in place. Leisure services are essential for successful aging.

The more active we are in our adult years, the less likely we are to suffer from many chronic illnesses,” she said.

From a nursing perspective, approaching clients from a more holistic point of view will enhance the experience for both nurses and their patients, according to Piera Jung, a professor in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.

“Nursing students will be able to look at different ways of providing care that weren’t thought of before, allowing them to think outside the box,” she said.

The two-year gerontology diploma is offered in a unique, blended format that includes both face-toface and online learning. The perspectives and experiences of older adults in the community and the Aboriginal Elders associated with VIU are incorporated throughout the program, ensuring cross-cultural representation.

Each course begins with a Weekend Institute at the Centre for Healthy Aging in Parksville, followed by online learning through VIU Learn. Participants can complete the program in two years on a full-time basis, or spread the program over six or seven semesters rather than four. To be admitted into the program, students must hold a baccalaureate degree from a recognized university in any discipline.

ou’ve probably already heard or seen how prevalent isolation and loneliness are amongst our senior population. It’s more prevalent than people realize. Social opportunities and social behaviour are two major opponents of isolation, loneliness and depression. And the paradox of depression is that during this most important time to reach out to people in your social circle, it’s often the feeling of wanting to be alone that prevails and dictates behaviours.

When you think of social supports for seniors in our community, what do you think of? Family and friends? Neighbours? The church? Yes, those are three common ones, for sure. But social supports refer to much more than that.

There are four main pillars of social supports for our seniors. They are emotional, instrumental, informational, and financial. Emotional supports are critical and usually come from close family and friends. Instrumental support refers to task-based support like housework, transportation, shopping and personal care. Informational support may be advice, or decision-making support on a wide variety of topics. Financial support doesn’t only refer to funds, as it is more commonly assistance with banking or even housing.

People who are unfamiliar with seniors often think that living in a retirement

— like those mentioned above.

A great first step to support the affected person would be to talk to the individual and then coordinate a discussion about it with their doctor, ideally with a loved one present.

community like independent living or assisted living automatically ensures that the senior will be social, having fun, and just plain loving life. But this is a false assumption. It’s just as easy to sit in one’s suite and watch TV as it is to sit at home and watch TV. It’s just as easy to skip exercise class downstairs as it is to skip going to the fitness centre. The fact of the matter is, it’s actually easier to isolate oneself when there are barriers such as immobility or pain. It’s easier to be withdrawn or fall into patterns of isolation when there are significant barriers, no matter where one lives, or who one’s friends or family are.

It’s important that if you know someone who is becoming more withdrawn and isolated that you treat it as a potentially serious pattern.

So many articles that are trying to be helpful suggest proper diet, exercise, and being more social — like joining a book club, or starting a new hobby — as helpful recommendations. But let’s be honest here — those written words and suggestions are not creating any action. It’s not like saying, “Oh, just join a book club or mentor a young person” will effectively combat isolation and loneliness. Not to sound too cynical — the articles are trying to be informative — but in my experience it takes a lot more than that to break the isolation/loneliness/depression cycle. It takes a very caring close friend(s) or family member(s) to support the individual through the process of becoming more social and more connected to social opportunities. It’s involved.

It’s hands on. It’s important. And based on how much free time the friend or family member has, it may take hiring a companion/caregiver to build a great relationship and attend regularly with the individual to help overcome barriers

hen it comes to writing about motorized wheelchairs it is usually that they belong on the sidewalk with other pedestrians and not on the roads with the other vehicles. Less often it is that they don’t need licence plates or insurance when operated by someone with a disability.

Who would have thought that it might be about driving into and killing another pedestrian on the sidewalk? It happened in Burnaby recently.

These machines are a boon to the mobility-challenged.

JUNIOR B LACROSSE

Best and worst of jr. B Thunder on display KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

All the strengths and weaknesses of the junior B Cowichan Valley Thunder were on display over the team’s last two lacrosse games as the team lost 13-7 on the road against the Westshore Bears last Thursday, then crushed the Nanaimo Timbermen 24-3 at Kerry Park Arena on Saturday.

After having to rely on midget call-ups to fill out the lineup for their first few games, the Thunder finally had all their top players on hand to face Westshore, but the situation was the same for Westshore, and the Bears took advantage of Cowichan’s defensive hiccups to prevail.

“We just kind of got a bit dominated,” Cowichan head coach Lorne Winship said. “We’re getting players back, but so are these other teams. As we’re strengthening, so are they.”

The Bears led 6-3 after the first period and 10-4 after the second before the teams played an even third period with three goals apiece.

Graham Winship scored twice for the Thunder, while Tyson Black and Taylor Martin each had a goal and two assists. Jacob Taylor had a goal and an assist, Kyle Page and Colin Winship each scored once, and Jaeden Ashbee had two helpers. Pollo Claxton was saddled with the loss in net.

Cowichan’s explosive offence was on full display against Nanaimo two days later. The Thunder

Kelvin Philp fends off a Westshore checker during last Thursday’s game at the Q Centre. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] were up 13-2 after the first period, sending the game to running time. Winship cautioned, however, that such games don’t necessarily show how good a team is — or how bad the opposition is.

“They didn’t come with a very strong lineup,” he said. “It’s not indicative of where we’re at or where they’re at. A couple days before, they beat Westshore. You can’t look at scores and know where teams are; you have to look at rosters.”

Because players often have other commitments and lineups can be fluid from game to game, Winship says it is always a “work in progress” to keep a competitive team together.

Leading the way for Cowichan were Adam Golia with seven goals and three assists, and Graham Winship with four goals and five helpers. Claxton started the game in net, and call-up Colin Jeffrey played the last 15 minutes.

Coach Winship was away for the

first three games of the season, but noticed when he returned that the Thunder’s “common denominator” in the first three games was a tendency to take too many penalties. He made an effort to crack down on that against the T-Men, and it seemed to work.

“Nanaimo got typically chippy, but I thought we held it in check,” he said.

Winship feels his team needs to improve at both ends of the floor,

but that he has the personnel to field one of the top teams.

“I feel we can compete with all the teams,” he said. “We didn’t have a [junior] team last year; the last time we had one was two years ago. Overall, the league is a lot stronger than it was two years ago. We’ll get better and be competitive.”

The Thunder played host to the Saanich Tigers on Tuesday. They visit Saanich on Friday and host Westshore again next Tuesday.

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

Shawnigan beats Brentwood for Island AA girls rugby title KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Shawnigan Lake School will head to the provincial AA girls rugby tournament as Island champions after a comprehensive 77-0 win over Brentwood College on Saturday.

“The girls played excellent and are really buying in to the team and our systems that we have implemented,” Shawnigan coach Laura Russell said. “Every time we challenge them to get better, they step up. We are very much looking forward to provincials but know there are many strong teams there, that we will have to prepare for in these next two weeks.”

Shawnigan’s big lead allowed them to get everyone on the field.

“All of our girls got in,” Russell said. “It was good to see everyone slide in seamlessly.”

Although the game ended in a blowout, Russell gave full credit

to her team’s opponents.

“Brentwood never gave up the whole time,” she said.

Both teams will head to provincials in Kamloops next week, and Shawnigan’s goal is to win the B.C. AA banner. Russell said this is the strongest team she has seen in her three years coaching at the school.

The squad’s biggest strength, she said, is team cohesiveness.

“We have a lot of good leaders and strong ball-carriers,” she said.

Chief among those leaders is team captain Holly Henderson.

“She’s definitely one of the most solid players on our team,” Russell stated.

The field at provincials will be a deep one, but Russell believes her team can compete.

“We have a lot of youth, so we’re a high-energy team,” she said.

“They want to work for each other and play well.”

Shawnigan’s Enyo Edeh is supported by Anna Lena Rump and Sam Johnston late in the first half of Saturday’s Island final against Brentwood. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

B.C. HOCKEY LEAGUE

Flashy start to season for Valley View crew KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The saddle seat riders from Valley View Farms got the spring off to a great start with some big wins in Langley last month.

“They’ve been training all winter long for the spring season,” said farm owner Doug Roe after his riders’ strong showing at the Class-A show on the weekend of April 15.

The show was a qualifier for the provincial championships that will take place this fall, where several Valley View Farms riders are already guaranteed to be participating.

“Almost all our riders are fully qualified for that show,” Roe said.

Valley View riders Tracy Fay and Ashley Roe competed in the adult division in Langley, while Maddy Zimmer and Deanna Cvitanovich rode in the 14-andunder division.

Fay rode to two second-place results and was reserve champion in the final. Ashley Roe was riding a horse she wasn’t used to, but still collected two seconds and two firsts.

Cvitanovich won a championship, a first and a fourth, and Zimmer earned a second, third and a championship.

Ashley Roe has been riding her whole life, while Fay and Cvitanovich are in their second year of competition. This was the first class-A event for Zimmer.

“It was good to see her step up and rise to the occasion,” Doug Roe said of Zimmer, who also competed at the Victoria Arabian Club show, riding to three first-place results.

All the Valley View Farms riders train under Carol Roe, while

Kade Kehoe is off to Colorado after leading the Caps with 55 points in 57 games last season.

Valley View Farms riders Deanna Cvitanovich, Maddy Zimmer, Tracy Fay and Ashley Roe collected a big batch of ribbons at an early-season show in Langley last month. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Ashley Roe trains most of the horses. Ashley travels to Kentucky each year to work with trainers there.

Saddle seat is a branch of English riding that shows off the high action of certain horse breeds, and the four Valley View riders are committed to the unique discipline.

“It’s so different from all other styles,” Cvitanovich said. “I couldn’t imagine doing any other style.”

Unique though saddle seat may be, the Valley View riders insist anyone can do it, and enjoy it.

“It’s a sport for everyone,” said the 46-year-old Fay, who was last year’s provincial champ in saddle

seat equitation. “It doesn’t have to just be kids.”

Saddle seat riders sport clothing that is also unique to the style of riding, modelled after business suits or tuxedos, as well as hats, although in some events they can wear helmets for protection.

As a result, saddle seat competitors stand out among other riders.

“Not many people know about it, so when you go to a show, they are always so impressed,” Zimmer said. “You look so different.”

Cvitanovich agreed.

“You look so flashy at the horse shows,” she said. “It’s pretty cool when you’re riding a big,

powerful horse and everyone is watching.”

While all riding requires discipline, saddle seat competitors are judged on their appearance as well as their mastery of the horse.

“Everything has to be perfect,” Cvitanovich explained. “It makes you want to work harder.”

“That’s the draw,” Fay chimed in.

In addition to their other competitions on the road this spring and summer, Valley View will be hosting its second annual Island Invitational at the Cowichan Exhibition on June 4 and 5. The event will be an open show for all breeds.

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

Thunderbirds lock up another provincial berth KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A huge second half propelled the Cowichan Secondary Thunderbirds to a 46-17 win over the Alberni District Armada in a AAA girls rugby playoff match last Wednesday.

The score was tied 17-17 after the first half, but the T-Birds made the necessary adjustments to dominate the second half.

“We made a number of handling errors in the first half and Alberni was able to capitalize,” head coach Brad Skene said. “It was a shootout with defensive struggles on both sides. We had a fairly frank conversation at halftime and the team stepped up and showed maturity in terms of changing the flow of the game.

Our defence got tighter and we protected the ball.”

The story was vastly different in the second half.

“Possession allowed us to score almost 30 points in the second half,” Skene said. “The work that

Cowichan scrum-half Emily Lindsay runs the ball with support from Anika Kushner. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] we have put in towards fitness is paying off. It is good to see a young team dig in and recover.”

Emily Nickerson scored three tries, and Emily Lindsay had two tries and a conversion. Also scoring were Brigitte Reid, Mar-

lee Wright and Jamie Needham, while Amy Oakes also slotted a conversion.

With the win, the T-Birds qualified for the provincial tournament for what is believed to be the 20th year in a row.

Cowichan went on to face Vanier in the AAA Island final, where they lost a lopsided contest. Vanier will head to the B.C. tournament as the top seed in the province, while the T-Birds are ranked sixth.

Capitals’ Kade Kehoe commits to Colorado College KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Capitals will bid farewell to their leading scorer from last season.

Kade Kehoe led the Caps in points with 55 in 57 games during the 2015-16 campaign, and was second in goals with 22 and assists with 33. Despite having one year of junior eligibility left, Kehoe has committed to the NCAA Div. I Colorado College Tigers for next season.

A native of Saskatoon, Kehoe came to the Caps early in the 2014-15 season in a trade with the West Kelowna Warriors.

Over his two seasons in the B.C. Hockey League, he compiled 94 points in 38 goals and 56 assists in 109 games, playing all but 11 of those contests with Cowichan. His four shorthanded goals were tied for the thirdmost in the BCHL, and his five game-winners were tied for 11th.

He helped the Caps reach the BCHL playoffs for the first time in four years, but was held scoreless as Cowichan was ousted in six games by the Powell River Kings.

“Kade is a natural competitor who can make plays and goes to the hard areas of the ice,” Colorado College head coach Mike Haviland said.

Kehoe is one of five players from last year’s Cowichan team to earn a college scholarship for next season, joining Ryan Burton (Div. I Clarkson), Corey Hoffman (Div. I Cornell), Mitch Meek (Div. I Clarkson), and Jake Switzer (Div. III Concordia-Wisconsin).

Breakers split first two playoff games KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Frances Kelsey Breakers got the boys AA rugby playoffs under way last week with a big win over Nanaimo District Secondary on Tuesday and a loss to Brentwood College on Thursday, setting the stage for a showdown with Edward Milne this Tuesday for a berth at the Tier 2 provincial tournament.

After some ups and downs against NDSS, the Breakers managed to break away for a 36-10 victory.

“The boys started strong, putting multiple phases together which looked very impressive and resulted in scoring,” coach

Jarome Erickson delivers a pass during Kelsey’s win over NDSS. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Craig Schmidt said. “We then fell away from our structured game which allowed a much improved Nanaimo team back in the game.”

After the Islanders got on the board with a try, the Kelsey players got back to what made them successful early on.

“They realized that they need to stick to the system that we practice in order to have success, which they did for most of the game,” Schmidt said.

The forward pack led the way in the win, and Spencer McLaughlin was named Man of the Match.

Brentwood beat Kelsey on Thursday to lock up the No. 1 spot in the North Island division.

Brentwood will head to the Tier 1

“Our goal is still to play a structured system for an entire game,” Schmidt said.

Three other Cowichan Valley senior boys rugby teams are also in the playoffs, with their sights set on provincials.

Also at UVic on Tuesday, Brentwood faced South Island AA top seed St. Michael’s University School, and Shawnigan met South Island AAA top seed Oak Bay. Cowichan Secondary, the AAA second seed, took on South Island third seed Belmont at Brentwood.

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.

Karen Anne Wilson, Nee: Cloutier October 4, 1956 – May 10, 2016 Karen passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. Survived by her husband Peter, daughters Heather and Stephanie. Her Mother Kay and brothers Remi Jr. (Nelita) and Tom (Rachel).

(Rachel) Karen was born in Montreal and spent her childhood in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, where she fell in love with alpine and water skiing. Karen was an accomplished athlete excelling in alpine skiing and travelled the world representing Canada on the National Team.

Karen met Peter on one of her trips to the west coast.

Their love produced 28 years of marriage and 2 beautiful daughters. Her competitive passion showed in all aspects of her life. Her children were always the first priority for her. Karen created a welcoming loving home full of family traditions, fine cuisine, and total comfort for all.

Karen had a special place in her heart for the elderly, and spent many years caring for her seniors.

Karen Anne’s battle with Multiple System Atrophy is thankfully over and she is at peace.

Thank you to Dr. Dan Philippson, and all the staff at Cairnsmore Place for their constant exceptional care.

A celebration of Karen’s life will be held Thursday, May 19, 2016 at 2 pm at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 5800 Church Road, North Cowichan, BC. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Cairnsmore Place, 250 Cairnsmore St, Duncan BC V9L 4H2.
