Environmental education offered for local students The Municipality of North Cowichan is launching its annual Environmental Education Program for 2016.

This year’s theme is recycling — why it’s important, what materials are acceptable at the curb, and what happens to materials at the recycling depot.

Each year, North Cowichan hires an environmental student to create and deliver one-hour workshops to students in kindergarten to Grade 7 in schools across the municipality.

Workshops are delivered in class-

MONEY

rooms through May and June and are designed to align with provincial prescribed learning outcomes.

The program culminates with the annual Friends of the Environment Poster Contest, which gives students an opportunity to practice environmental stewardship, win great prizes and meet the mayor.

North Cowichan invites teachers and administrators who would like to participate in the 2016 program to send a request and any scheduling details to: envstudent@north cowichan.ca.

More information on the program is available at www.north cowichan.ca/education.

Taxes going up almost 3% for City of Duncan residents ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

The City of Duncan approved an average 2.98 per cent tax increase in its approximately $6-million budget for 2016 in a unanimous vote at a council meeting earlier this week.

The tax increase is higher than in 2015 when council set the average increase at 2.52 per cent across all classes.

The tax increase will be partially offset by a $5 decrease in residential garbage rates.

But while council approved an average tax increase, it also gave the green light to a slight decrease in property taxes for businesses to reflect a small decrease in property values from 2015.

The municipality is also working toward bringing its business taxes in line with the provincial average.

BC Assessment had assessed in January that the average single-family home in the city has seen its value increase from $249,000 to $257,000 from last year, and the average strata home has increased from

The tax increase means that an average family home in the city will see an increase of $42.60 in municipal taxes in 2016, while an average strata home will see a tax increase of $24.23.

The assessment rolls also indicate that the value of the average commercial property in Duncan has decreased from $439,000 to $436,000 over the last year.

As a result, an average commercial property in Duncan

will see a .06 per cent decrease in taxes, which means an average commercial property will see its property taxes decrease by $3.12 this year.

Talitha Soldera, Duncan’s director of finance, explained that the total property value in the commercial class in the city has actually increased by $2.6 million from last year.

“The explanation for [the decreased value of properties] is in the mathematical breakdown of the properties in the commercial class,” she said.

“Some properties have been added to the commercial class that have lower assessed values, and some other properties had been taking out of this class, so the values are really based on the average of all the assessed properties in the commercial class.”

Soldera said tax notices and newsletters will be sent out to the city’s residences and businesses over the next few weeks explaining where the money is to be spent in the budget for 2016, and what the impacts are to taxpayers.

FORT MCMURRAY WILDFIRE

Relatives hold their breath as Albertans flee LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

S

tories of people fleeing Fort McMurray with flames just moments behind them have been filtering back to Cowichan Valley residents worried about relatives and friends living in the path of a raging forest fire that has devastated the Alberta community.

Duncan’s Meredythe Broadway and her family here have been among those holding vigil.

“Our youngest son Jon, and his wife, Kayla have three children under four. They just had their third baby in February.

They lost their home yesterday,” she said Wednesday.

Broadway had just visited the family in March to help welcome the newborn, so she knows the area well.

“Kayla and the kids and their dog packed up and left on Monday. Her parents live south of Fort McMurray,” she said.

But her son didn’t leave until there were flames at his heels.

“Jon waited and finally left as their neighbour’s house went up in flames. He actually had to do some pretty creative driving along a bike trail in a vehicle.

He had to go cross-country to get to the highway from his house,” Broadway said.

“I think that happened a lot.”

Her son, Ken, now on the Island, spent six years in Fort McMurray.

“He was on the cellphone with Jon as he was escaping. He was encouraging him and telling him what to do,” Broadway said.

“Also, he had many friends and associates he was stay-

The whole evening we were all together here just holding vigil.”

Their northern Alberta family members are now together, safely away from the roaring flames.

“Everyone was evacuated, including her parents. They all cavalcaded. They’re in the Edmonton area on a farm where someone had places to park motorhomes,” she said But taking the road south was not easy for Broadway’s family.

“Yesterday the highway was blocked because of gridlock and the fire. They had a boat and some quads and that was actually how they thought they were going to have to escape with the three little ones. It’s been pretty hairy but we’re so thankful. The house was insured and they’re all alive and well.”

She was concerned, watching the progress of the fire, that some Fort McMurray residents seemed to be determined to stay as long as possible near their homes.

“I think many people stuck

around too long,” she said. “We were not very happy with Jon, but I understand. You don’t think it’s really going to happen. And you think there’s one more thing you can grab or fix because time is so short.”

“There will be time, now, to catch their breath with the family, at least, but Jon’s in construction and they’re going to be pretty busy up there. There will be a lot of jobs there,” she said.

Another Valley resident, North Cowichan Coun. Tom Walker, was also deeply concerned as he followed events in northern Alberta.

“I have renewed acquaintances in the last few years with a cousin of mine, Dan Ambrose.

He went up to Fort Mac as a young fellow from the Fraser Valley, looking for work, long before oil became a hot topic.

He’s raised his children and now his grandchildren there.

He owns a house on Beacon Hill in Fort McMurray but also has a summer cabin in Lac La Biche; he [and wife Edna were] there during the fire. His daughter and his grandson came out last

night [Tuesday].”

Walker caught up with them on Facebook briefly Tuesday night.

At least three of that family own homes in the city; “we don’t know yet what’s happened to them but it’s not a good time to press him for those kind of details. They’re out, they’re safe, they’re at their summer cottage,” he said.

Walker spent 35 years working for the BC Forest Service, so when he saw news of the fire, his reaction was a little different than the average Valley resident.

“I fought my first fire at 16 years old and my last at 66 years old. I got evacuated from my cabin one summer when I was 66 and then they asked if I would do a 14-day stint helping to run helicopters and some air support stuff.

“I probably look at fires differently.

I have an interest. I quickly checked the weather there yesterday. They had a temperature of over 30 C, and relative humidity of 14 per cent,

and wind. So, when you get those conditions and a fire gets moving, there’s only one thing you can do: get the hell out of the way,” he said.

“I’ve been there and done that on a few fires in B.C. All you do is wait for some openings and pick away at it, and watch for the weather to change a little bit and become more reasonable.

“You’ve got to protect the life and property of the general public, but you have to protect the lives of your firefighters, too. There’s a time to go in there and there’s a time to back off.

“I was also a ‘bird dog’ officer years ago, leading three water bombers for two years out of Prince George, so I understand fires and that you do put out 95 per cent of them. The other few have the potential to raise hell and this one did, I guess,” Walker said. lexi.bainas@ cowichanvalleycitizen.com

COMMUNITY

Strength in numbers: residents fight officialdom

I

7369642

t’s said you can’t fight city hall.

But people in the Cowichan Valley are learning that they don’t have to meekly accept unpalatable impositions on their communities without a fight.

A case in point is the 900-member strong Shawnigan Residents Association that has so successfully galvanized public opposition to the importation of contaminated soil to a site directly adjacent to the community’s water supply.

The association’s successes so far in their ongoing battle to shut the operation down have caught the interest of people in other parts of the valley, and beyond.

As a result, many have begun to see the

value of concerted community action in important development and other decisions in their neighbourhoods.

The SRA began earnest efforts to shut down the contaminated-soil operation, owned by South Island Aggregates and Cobble Hill Holdings, since the project began five years ago.

They were in for a big fight, considering the fact that the project had been given a clean bill of health by a supposedly independent environmental engineering company, and was subsequently given a permit by the province to import up to 100,000 tonnes of contaminated soil per year.

But the SRA rolled up its sleeves and tapped into the rage and the multitude of talent in the community to fight what looked like a futile battle.

Flash forward to 2016 and the SRA, along with the Cowichan Valley Regional District and others in the community, have managed to bring the contaminated soil project to its knees through their concerted court actions, and the future of the highly controversial project is now in jeopardy.

And that success has not gone unnoticed.

Last month, Maeve Maguire, a councillor in the Municipality of North Cowichan, put forward a successful motion for staff to prepare a local area plan for the Berkey’s Corner area.

Maguire said she “didn’t like the process” a controversial commercial

Cowichan Valley

development at that location went through to get municipal approval to proceed.

She maintained that the development of a local area plan would, hopefully, spur the creation of a neighbourhood group, much like the SRA, in that community to represent and advocate for the concerns of its citizens.

“That way, the next time a proposal like this comes before council, the community can work together with council as a group, rather than the one-on-one approach that was taken this time,” Maguire said at the time.

As well, the 10-year-old Chemainus Residents Association is looking to learn what it can from Shawnigan Lake’s experience and expertise in dealing with the soildump site.

They have invited Sonia Furstenau, the director for Shawnigan Lake on the Cowichan Valley Regional District who has worked closely with the SRA in the dispute, to speak at an upcoming meeting.

CRA president Kathy Wachs said the association has had a lot of experience in its own battles over issues in its community, notably over the future of Echo Heights forest.

A decade ago, the Municipality of North Cowichan was exploring the possibility of backing a residential development, with up to 350 housing units, at the approximately 54-acre forested site on the edge of the community.

But, after years of consultations and protests by the CRA and other members of the community, a compromise was reached in which just nine per cent of the site will now be used for development.

“It’s not great, but it’s not bad either,”

Kroffat

Brake & Wheel and Muffler Shop LTD

Wachs said.

“While we learned a lot dealing with our own issues, we are very interested in what is being done in Shawnigan Lake and what successful steps the SRA has taken in their fight against the soil dump.”

Wachs said the SRA has done well forming partnerships with other like-minded groups in the community, as well as attracting people with the necessary skills and knowledge to accomplish tasks.

“We’ve done this to a certain degree as well, but the SRA is facing a much more dire situation with this soil dump than us with our issue with Echo Heights,” she said.

“Bringing so many people with so much knowledge together for this one task has been very transformative for that community, and it has become different because of this struggle. These things really wake us up to what can happen in our own backyards.”

Calvin Cook, president of the SRA, said the association began in the 1990s initially to get people together to fight a plan by the TimberWest forest company to tax lakeside owners on what it claimed was its property.

He said the membership was small at the beginning, but the almost universal opposition in the area to the “egregious” soil project made it easy to engage the whole community.

He said the fact that Shawnigan Lake is a bedroom community for many professionals with a variety of skill sets who commute daily to jobs in Victoria means there is no shortage of talent to draw on in the ongoing fight.

Cook said that once the fight to drive the soil dump from the community is over, whether it’s successful or not, he doesn’t believe it will signal the demise of the SRA. He said there are always issues in the community in which people need to be given a voice.

“There’s taxes, development in the community, transportation issues and much more,” Cook said.

“Some people say we are a one-trick pony these days, but these other issues are there as well and we encourage anyone who has a passion to join us and help us work on those. That way, the next time an issue comes up that we are concerned about, the community can work together again to deal with it.” robert.barron@ cowichanvalleycitizen.com

HOUSE OF FRIENDSHIP

Funding fight threatens centre ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

The Hiiye’Yu Lelum (House of Friendship) Society in Duncan says it faces a financial crisis.

The centre for First Nations people, along with more than 20 other friendship centres in the province, has yet to receive some of its core funding for 2016. The money from the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada pays for much of its administrative costs.

Debbie Williams, executive director of the Hiiye’Yu Lelum Society, said it’s unknown at this time if the friendship centre, or any of the other friendship centres in B.C., will receive the funding any time soon.

However, officials at INAC claim the money is budgeted for the friendship centres, but B.C.’s centres have yet to submit their work plans for 2016-17.

Among its many functions, the society provides a central and urban facility in the Cowichan Valley for First Nations people where counselling, information and referral services are provided, and where meetings, as well as educational and recreational activities, take place.

Williams said the department’s funding for the Duncan centre totals approximately $150,000 per year, which is just about five

per cent of the centre’s annual budget, but it pays for the administrative team that runs the facility.

“Our funding is sometimes late, but there has always been a commitment in place that it would be provided,” Williams said.

“We’re facing a lot of uncertainty right now, and we don’t know what to do. It seems the department made a unilateral decision to make some critical changes to this program without consulting us.”

Approximately $23 million had been earmarked for the friendship centres in B.C. from the department’s budget from 2014-19.

Carl Mashon, executive director of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, said that without the funding that was approved from the department’s urban aboriginal strategy program, many friendship centres in the province will be forced to end critical services for indigenous families, and many may need to close their doors completely within the next two months.

Mashon said that, despite commitments from Ottawa that the UAS program funding would be renewed in its current form, department officials are now unilaterally and without consultation changing key elements of

the national program.

“It is our opinion that INAC officials are changing the trajectory of UAS and not honouring the spirit and intent of our historic partnership with the federal government,” Mashon said.

“In B.C., friendship centres are the largest network of social service organizations supporting the critical needs of urban Indigenous people, and they hold key partnerships in every community.”

A statement from INAC said that ensuring effective programs and services are in place to meet the needs of urban indigenous people is “critical.”

It said the government’s budget for 2016 confirms the continuation of funding for the urban aboriginal strategy, and also outlines the government’s commitment to work in partnership to strengthen the strategy so it works for all indigenous people.

“The department is ready to flow funds and we can do so after we receive the work plan for 201617 and the contribution agreement is finalized,” the statement said.

“We also strongly encourage the friendship centres to proceed with a call for proposals for program funding to ensure recipients can undertake their work as soon as possible.”

OUR VIEW

Keeping toddlers with parents no flight frill

T

hat’s not being discount, that’s being just plain cheap.

And cutting off your nose to spite your face while you’re at it.

CBC reported last week that Air Canada charges a $40 fee to parents to guarantee that their kids, aged two and above, sit with them on Tango flights.

Where do we even start with how ridiculous this is?

Not making sure that two-yearold children are sitting next to a parent or other guardian is an excellent way to alienate all of your customers, whether they are parents of young children or not.

It’s not safe or responsible to separate toddlers, many of whom cannot yet speak fully yet, from their caregivers.

Particularly during an experience that can be scary for some kids.

One cannot explain to children that age that they have to continually swallow to equalize the pressure in their ears. Or stay in their seats.

The kids can’t even necessarily get into their own food, or go to the bathroom on their own.

If you want passengers complaining about screaming children, then this is an excellent

OTHER VIEWS

policy. If you want a quiet, sane flight, then change is due ASAP. Parents will worry about their children’s safety, but all of the other flight passengers will be praying they don’t get stuck next to the — for all intents and purposes — unaccompanied child.

Imagine that you’ve paid for a plane ticket, then find out that you’re the designated, unpaid babysitter for, potentially, a long flight.

Most of us are decent human beings and would feel responsible for looking after the scared little tyke placed next to us by the big bad airline.

That doesn’t mean we’d be happy about it, or eager to buy another ticket with the same company.

Rather, we bet you’d find a lot of people on their phones as soon as humanly possible trying to find another flight.

It can’t be a picnic for flight attendants, either, getting called every time the child needs something and having to run to find their parents in the cabin at each instance.

Why is the big question.

Why such a ridiculous policy?

Surely Air Canada can’t be so desperate to nickel and dime that

Who, if anyone, came up with what looks to be an astronomical amount of cash to take care of raising the lake level?

I’m sure that a modern built weir about 50 yards downstream would not cost half that amount.

Or, as a temporary measure, new boards added to the existing structure raising the water level some 16 inches?

Knowing of the weather patterns, less snowpack etc. to not make any effort to alleviate this coming problem really is shameful.

they need a few infusions of $40 to make ends meet.

If so, then they have far bigger problems and should probably review more than a toddler seat fee.

If not, then generate a little goodwill and get rid of this nonsense.

The idea of discount, no-frills travel is a good one that many people are eager to look at if it means they can keep some money in their wallets.

But keeping parents and young children together on a flight isn’t a frill, it’s a necessity if they want to stay in business.

Stop creating definitions of proportional rep.

Our new government in Canada has pledged to replace firstpast-the-post federal elections before Canada’s next federal election in 2019. But I haven’t heard anything about the multiparty committee that was promised to be created, and a recent newspaper article suggested that, if they don’t get started soon, they won’t be able to fulfil their pledge. Some groups are promoting what they call proportional representation.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines proportional representation as “An electoral system in which parties gain seats in proportion to the number of votes cast for them.” This definition

means that a party which gets five per cent of the total number of votes cast in a federal election, is entitled to 16 seats in Parliament (five per cent of the available 338 seats). But, according to the information which is available on the Internet, not a single organization in Canada is promoting a voting system which is in accord with the dictionary definition of proportional representation.

One of the characteristics of PR is that, in a country like Canada, which has a number of registered political parties, it is unlikely that any political party will get a majority of votes and two or more parties will have to form a coalition (and fight among themselves as to who will be prime minister) in order

to have a majority of seats in Parliament. Perhaps the desirable PR should include a selection of the prime minister by a majority of Members of Parliament (MPs), similar to the protocol used to select the speaker of the House of Commons. This would make it obvious that the prime minister is responsible to Parliament and would make it easier for a majority of the MPs to change the prime minister without calling an election.

In the meantime, I wish that people would stop creating their own definitions of proportional representation and stick with the one that is in the English dictionaries.

The TPP will open the Canadian market to U.S. milk, which contains Bovine Growth Hormone. Canada does not allow BGH in our milk. A requirement of the TPP will be no country of origin label, so we will not know where our milk comes from.

The TPP will threaten “buy local” policies as that would restrict foreign companies from doing business here. If a foreign corporation feels they are not being allowed the business opportunity they want they will have the right to sue Canada. Increasingly our tax dollars are being used to pay off these lawsuits.

The TPP will weaken our laws around environmental regulation, food safety, minimum wages, social

programs, etc. What happens to our sovereignty if we can be sued for laws we have fought to implement?

We have seen corporations challenge pesticide bans, public health warnings on cigarettes, the rejection of pipeline projects, fracking bans and much more.

Either the government continues to pay after being sued or they stop enacting policies and regulations that are in the public interest but not corporate interest.

We need to stand up to our government and say we don’t want the TPP. And by the way, these so called “public consultations” that Christia Freeland is holding are turning out to be anything but public. Check out the Council of Canadians website for more information.

GUEST COLUMN

Climate change contributing to flood or refugees in Europe Peter Nix

Carbon Buster

T

he refugee tsunami flowing onto Greek shores is the first wave of climate change human migrations likely to occur as a result of increasing global warming weather events — Syria experienced an acute 10-year dry spell: bankrupting farmers and contributing to ethnic tensions and civil war.

Canadians should learn how to respond, because climate change is happening, and parts of this planet will be evacuated.

Otherwise, we may elect a Donald Trump to keep refugees out by building walls.

Greek volunteers make food for refugees inside Moria, a Greek refugee camp for about 3,000 people on the island of Lesbos. And international volunteers, like my family from Vancouver Island, come to help them.

Our Greek friends start cooking in an open area with many hungry families and bored young men, no crowd control except shouting, under a hot sun with no shade. I decide, nerv-

I place my 69-year old body between the two seething, sweaty conga-lines converging at the food table; raising my clasped hands in, I hope, the calming position of a buddhist monk.

It’s chaos from the get-go: aggressive pushing, kids running between legs, repeated mis-

understandings regarding the cultural concept of “queuing”.

Young men jump the queue, tempers flare, old ladies give reproving glances, kids gleefully avoid my simple instruction of “Wait!” I see real ethnic hostility, glaring eyes, flying fists. But unexpectedly, I have a six and half foot Pakistani helper who throws out some rowdies.

Hey, these young men are full of testosterone, many experi-

encing huge personal loss and suffering; only to find themselves cooped up with nothing to do. Under these circumstances, I too would be rowdy.

I am surrounded by yelling and a multitude of strange swirling faces, from Somalian to Syrian.

For several hours, I sway and sweat between the two wavy lines; maybe exerting a calming effect. Maybe.

Where are those PhDs in

human migration policy? Where are the trauma consellors?

I do admit to being angry immediately after this exhausting exposure to chaos. But my wife Margaret and I talk our way to composure, taking deep breaths in the meagre shade of the prison wall.

On leaving, I see workers whitewashing that same wall.

Just the right soothing metaphor, I thought, to match the camp commander’s preparations for the Pope on his arrival the next day.

The shores of Lesbos — much smaller than Vancouver Island — received an unbelievable half million refugees this past year.

Wrecked rubber boats litter its beaches. My son Roan uses his strong body to cut them up and carry them to disposal areas.

In my village of Scala Sikamenaes, a Greek fisherman named Stratis Valiamosis humbly rides by us on a bicycle.

He is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

How great is that?

Governments, including Canada, are failing to look after these refugees adequately. But international volunteers are answering the call; an unprecedented, citizen-led, humanitarian response to a crisis caused, in part, by climate change.

other placed 70th out of 100 in its round — both Justice and Yang said the experience was well worth it.

“I really enjoyed the creative process of building our robot and the teamwork to develop and put it together,” Justice said.

“It’s fun to learn, but one big aspect of this was the competitive part, and I’m a very competitive person.”

In the VEX Robotics competition, students, in teams of three or four, compete against one another, but also form alliances that help earn key points as the tournament progresses.

Each year, the competition involves a different challenge or game, and this year, the robots were tasked with gathering up small balls and playing a form of basketball with each other.

“It was a trial and error process in building our robot for

the competition, but it’s a lot of fun,” said Yang.

“It seems that nothing is ever complete and we were constantly fixing and tinkering with it, but I’m pleased with what we accomplished and I’m hoping we qualify to compete again next year.”

Robotics coach Nigel Mayes said some of the students from Shawnigan Lake School spent 10 to 12 hours a day in the robotics lab as the competition approached.

“The emphasis is on collaborating and working together to determine the strength and weaknesses of the robots and devise strategies to win the game,” he said.

“This is our third year in a row that we qualified to be contestants in the competition, and we’re going to work hard to ensure that we qualify again next year.”

ay 2-8 is Mental Health Week in Canada. Good mental health means striking a balance in all aspects of your life: social, physical, spiritual, economic and mental. Take time to assess your emotional health regularly. If there is too much stress in your life, look for ways to lessen it. You can learn more by visiting the website: www.MentalHealthWeek.ca Selling sugared soft drinks is big business. Consumption is waning a little in developed countries although the U.S. is still the leader in soft drink consumption worldwide. However, in countries like Mexico, China, India and Brazil, consumption is still increasing. Mexico recently added an extra tax on sugar-sweetened pop and snack foods. Consumption dropped quickly by 5%.

Many people know the strong bond that exists between them and their dog. Looking into a dogs eyes can increase the levels of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a hormone involved with the emotional bonding found in child birth, breast-feeding, sexual arousal and of course relating to your dog. It’s a good thing!

When taking medication, it’s important to ensure the dose gets right down to the stomach and not get stuck in the esophagus. Drink enough fluid with each dose and don’t lie down right after taking it. It may get stuck in the esophagus and could cause injury. We’ll let you know which drugs could cause this.

Part of our job is ensuring you know the best way to taking your medication. When in doubt about anything to do with your medication, please ask us.

ROBERT BARRON CITIZEN

Miles Justice, John Yang and their teammates at Shawnigan Lake School spent many nights until dawn in recent weeks in the school’s robotics lab preparing their robot for the VEX Robotics competition.

The annual international competition, held this year on April 20-23 in Louisville, Kentucky, drew hundreds of students from dozens of countries from across the globe, including teams from as far afield as Chile, Ireland, Thailand and Syria.

Justice, a Grade 12 student from Maple Bay, and Yang, a Grade 11 student from Shenzhen, China, were among eight students, in two teams, from the school that qualified to go to the competition this year.

With more than 150 teams in B.C. alone competing to attend, and only eight from the province qualifying, the students said they felt honoured that the school succeeded in attaining two of the coveted spots.

But that only made them work harder on preparing their robots, and they said they enjoyed every minute of the preparations and the camaraderie and collaborations of the competitions.

While they didn’t take home any trophies or medals this year — one team came 40th out of 100 in its competition and the

‘Spooksville’ lives on in school donation From spooky beginnings good things come.

Vancouver-based Front Street Pictures has donated a large amount of set equipment to Cowichan Secondary’s Performing Arts program from their locally shot and now discontinued television series Spooksville.

“We just wanted to give something back.

We wanted to make sure that some of the stuff we had on the show that we won’t be using anymore went to a good place,” said Paul Russell, who worked as an assistant location manager for Spooksville, which was shot in the Cowichan Valley and ran on television from 2013 to 2014. The donation to CSS includes theatre flats and a number of other items.

“Some handmade foam raven pieces, gargoyles, stuff like that,” Russell said, adding that unlike some production companies from Vancouver who’ll bring over their sets from the Mainland, Front Street sourced almost everything locally.

“All of the stuff that we used on the show for the most part, that we purchased, was purchased in the Cowichan Valley. We spent a few million dollars in the Cowichan Valley to put this show together and the stuff that was given back [to CSS] was stuff that was purchased locally,” Russell said. “We wanted to create more of a local feel to it and really make it a local show and contribute to the community as much as we could.”

Russell graduated from CSS in 1996 and, when brainstorming what to do with now-unneeded sets, his old drama teacher Mike Moroz and CSS immediately came to mind.

“That was sort of the first phone call I made to Mike Moroz,” Russell said.

Russell had Moroz as his drama teacher in his first year as a teacher at CSS, which was not too shabby.

“It was great, fantastic. I called him 20 years later to come and get some stuff, I think he did OK,” Russell said with a laugh.

“All of the stuff that we used on the show for the most part, that we purchased, was purchased in the Cowichan Valley. We spent a few million dollars in the Cowichan Valley to put this show together and the stuff that was given back [to CSS] was stuff that was purchased locally. We wanted to create more of a local feel to it and really make it a local show and contribute to the community as much as we could.”

The annual Investors Group Walk for Alzheimers, held on Sunday, May 1 at the Cowichan Sportsplex, is all about ‘Making Memories Matter’ and, after a warmup and a warm welcome from organizers, a larger crowd than last year turned out to cheerfully take to the track in splendid springtime weather. The event, formerly held at the end of January, was rescheduled this year and walkers clearly appreciated the great day. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

PAUL RUSSELL, assistant location manager for Spooksville

Moroz said the set pieces from Spooksville are much appreciated and will be especially, eerily helpful if CSS does end up choosing to do The Addams Family as one of its productions this coming school year.

“There are tombstones, costume racks, costumes, and a bunch of set flats that you would construct to build a house, interior of a store,” said Moroz. “It’s kind of fun to have him come back and make a donation like that,” Moroz added, noting that Russell is currently involved in some big things.

Indeed, Russell is currently working as location manager in Vancouver for the BBC America television program Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. The show stars Elijah Wood and is based on the work of late science fiction and humour writer Douglas Adams.

“It will be going into production in May and will probably show up in late fall,” said Russell, who’s worked in the film industry for 15 years.

With thanks to Front Street and his former student, Moroz is all smiles.

“It’s a couple of thousand bucks of material alone before you invest the labour,” Moroz said of the donation. “It’s awesome.”

HISTORY

Prohibition days justice: the case of the leaking trunk T.W. Paterson

Chronicles After Canada implemented prohibition, 1918-1920, originally as part of the War Measures Act, returned servicemen were soon agitating for a return to the bad old days. here there’s a will there’s a way, so they say. And never more so than when it comes to demon drink, a human craving almost as old and essential as, well, you know. From time immemorial human ingenuity has filled this need within or without the bounds of the law.

In January 1920 one of those self-appointed quenchers of the public thirst found himself in Duncan court before JPs W. Paterson and Dr. Watson Dykes to answer the charge of having violated a statute of the Prohibition Act. Archibald Tiderington of Lake Cowichan had, in other words, been charged with bootlegging.

Specifically, for having “unlawfully ...intoxicating liquor in a place other than the private

W

A case full of whisky got one local in trouble in 1920, after broken bottles had him facing trial. [SUBMITTED] dwelling place in which he resided, to wit the residence of Mr. Edward Stock, Duncan”. To which he pleaded, not guilty.

Cyril Pitt, the first witness for the Crown, testified that he’d been in charge of luggage aboard the E&N train bound from Cowichan Lake on Dec. 24, that he’d seen Tiderington deliver a large black trunk to the train by wheelbarrow for shipment to Duncan, and he identified the trunk in the courtroom.

Provincial Police Const. Kier then stated how he’d seen the trunk in the train’s baggage car upon its arrival in Duncan.

Although the trunk was securely locked, it was leaking, a pool

of what he identified by its smell as liquor having seeped onto the floor. When it was duly shipped to the house of Edward Stock, proprietor of the Quamichan Hotel, he and city constable Kennett seized the trunk and carried it to the police station. There, upon opening, it was found to contain a smaller trunk — this one containing 12 quart bottles of Canadian Club and Corbey’s Canadian Whiskey, three of which were broken; all were produced in court.

For the benefit of the magistrates he opened a bottle, “smelled the contents and swore that it and the other eight bottles contained whiskey”. This

sounds something less than scientific but such was the casual legal standard of the day. Under cross-examination, Kier admitted that he didn’t have a warrant when he searched Stock’s home.

(Another laxity of the law.)

Edward Stock admitted to having carried the trunk from the railway station to his home at Tiderington’s request, with the intention of keeping it for him for a few days. He didn’t open the trunk and he didn’t “notice anything peculiar as to odour” and he didn’t know that it contained whiskey. This concluded the case for the Crown.

Defence counsel Moresby made two objections to convic-

tion: that it hadn’t been proved that Tiderington was the owner of the liquor, and “there was no proof that it was intoxicating liquor”. He also pointed out that the Act placed no limitation upon “the amount of liquor a man could obtain by prescriptions. Even if it were two quarts for one person, there [is] nothing in the Act to prevent a sick person from going to a dozen different doctors.”

This, he declared, was practised every day and he’d prove that the liquor in question had been obtained legitimately through the government vendor. If the Liquor Control Board hadn’t considered Tiderington’s actions to be a “moral fraud on the Act,” why should the police?

He also stated that “a man ha[s] an undisputed right to move the liquor after he bought it from the vendor’s store; there was nothing in the Act prohibiting a man from having prescription liquor where he wanted to have it”.

On the stand, Tiderington gave his occupation as chicken rancher.

He admitted to ownership of the liquor in the courtroom and said he’d purchased it in government liquor stores.

Booze was for indigestion and a mild cold CHRONICLES, From Page 13 He had multiple doctors’ prescriptions in Victoria and Vancouver for the alcohol. He pointed out that each bottle bore a label declaring the contents to be “For medicinal purposes only.”

Asked why he’d shipped the booze from Lake Cowichan to Duncan, he replied that he’d done so for “safekeeping,” his house having previously been broken into during his absence. As he’d intended to be away for a few days he intended to store the liquor temporarily with his friend Stock. After admitting under cross-examination that he was unemployed he gave his

current occupation as “property owner.” The six bottles, he explained, were purchased over a two-month period with six prescriptions issued by five physicians whom he named in Victoria and Vancouver. What was his “malady?” Indigestion!

And a mild cold.

Asked why he hadn’t used the “medication,” he gave no reply. Had he bought the booze in good faith? Yes. Had he ever been busted before for bootlegging? No. Was he a bootlegger? No. This ended the evidence, the prosecutor stating his belief that he’d proved that Tiderington had obtained the liquor “in a way that was

not bona fide”. Defence counsel, of course, was sure that the evidence submitted was insufficient for conviction.

In giving judgement Dr. Dykes said there was no question but that Tiderington did have the liquor in “a place other than his residence,” a violation of the Act. Perhaps in deference to his fellow physicians, Dykes said nothing about its having been obtained, in unreasonable quantity, for the defendant’s “aches and chills”. JP Paterson then imposed a $100 fine, the maximum for a first offence, the whiskey to be forfeited. www.twpaterson.com

• The Blue Grouse Winery in Duncan was named the “Judges’ Choice-Best Overall Entry” at the 9th annual Vancouver Real Estate Board’s Commercial Building Awards ceremony, held April 21 in Nanaimo.

Blue Grouse Winery also won the “Award of Excellence” in the hospitality category at the event, which featured 40 buildings as finalists in 12 categories at the sold-out gala.

More than 70 projects were eligible this year for the awards, which celebrate the best in commercial, community and industrial buildings north of the Malahat on Vancouver Island, which were completed in 2015.

Cowichan Bay’s The Cannery-Seaside Living won in the Multi-Family Apartment category at the event.

• The Earth Day 2016 Community Ivy Pull at Askew Creek on April 23 attracted 12 enthusiastic participants and harvested 25 bags of ivy from the banks of the creek.

The Municipality of North Cowichan helped out by removing the bags of ivy and for providing free swim and skate passes for participants.

But there’s still much more to do. The ivy pull resumes Saturday, May 7 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m and continues every second Saturday after that.

• The Easter celebration at The HUB in Cowichan Station attracted

close to 500 people, which was more than double the expected community turnout for this first ever Easter Fair. Kids hunted Easter eggs and enjoyed the many activities and lots of fun was had.

Proceeds went to the charitable Cowichan Station Area Association to help pay for the next phase of construction at The HUB, with the goal of making this community space a key place to celebrate arts, culture and recreation.

“The turnout for the event was fantastic,” said Barry O’Riordan, executive director of the CSAA. “The feedback from the community has been that it was a wonderful event and people had lots of fun.

Our volunteers worked extra hard and donated their Easter holiday to improve The HUB. We really want to thank them, and also thank attendees.”

Overall the event was a great success and raised over $4,000, which will be matched by a grant from Western Economic Diversification to help communities celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

Local businesses and groups also pitched in to support the event, including Barshorn Gardening, Dinter Nursery, Island Face Painting, Great Canadian Superstore, Mbira Spirit, Shoppers Drug Mart, Thrifty Foods, Warmland Dance, and dozens of others donated generously to the silent auction.

ROWING

Brentwood tops school standings at regatta Brentwood College School retained the title of top school at the 46th annual Brentwood Regatta last weekend.

The host school finished first out of 12 schools and sixth out of 35 teams overall at the massive annual event at Mill Bay. An astonishing 1,641 athletes represented the 35 teams at the regatta, and conditions allowed for all 180 races to run.

“It went really well,” regatta chairperson Debbie Sage said.

“The weather co-operated, for the most part. We had great racing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was nice and warm, with not too much wind.”

Sammamish Rowing Association out of Redmond, Wash. won the overall aggregate title with 894 points, followed by Seattle’s Pocock Rowing Centre (889 points) and Victoria City Rowing Club (885), while Brentwood compiled 538 points.

Sammamish also won the junior A boys, girls and overall titles, while Brentwood was eighth, ninth, and seventh, respectively. St. George’s School was first in the junior B boys standings, Vic City took the girls title, and Pocock topped the overall rankings. Brentwood was fifth, 16th and ninth, respectively.

Out of 38 events entered, Brentwood made 17 finals and won eight medals, including gold in the junior A men’s school eight and junior A lightweight men’s four; silver in the junior B men’s four, junior A lightweight women’s four and junior A school women’s eight, junior A JV men’s quad; and bronze in the junior A men’s four and junior A women’s quad.

Shawnigan Lake School made six finals and finished 16th in the overall aggregate standings and sixth among schools. The Maple Bay Rowing Club placed 25th in the overall standings, making three finals and winning a

silver medal in the junior A JV women’s quad.

Sage noted that attendance

by Cowichan Valley residents appeared to be lower than in recent years.

“I was told there weren’t as many community people as there have been in the past,” she said.

“That worries me, because we want the community to come out and see teenagers at their best.”

She also pointed out that the entire school population is involved in making sure the regatta is a success.

“We couldn’t do this event without the help of the students and staff at Brentwood,” Sage said. “Everyone on campus is involved, so I’d like to thank everybody for that.”

To the best of anyone’s knowledge, the regatta remains the largest sporting event in North America hosted by one school.

“As far as we know it is,” Sage laughed. “No one else is as crazy as us.”

Thunder drop home opener to Westshore KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Thunder opened the junior B lacrosse season with a 15-5 drubbing of the Nanaimo Timbermen on the road last Saturday, Their home opener on Tuesday didn’t go quite as well, as the Westshore Bears topped the Thunder 16-10 at Kerry Park Arena.

“They’re a good team,” assistant coach Traves Black admitted of the Bears. “But we just got a little frustrated. We didn’t play defence, and our offence wasn’t moving.”

Westshore held a 7-6 lead after two periods, but outscored Cowichan 9-4 in the third.

Taylor Martin led the Thunder with four goals and four assists.

Tyson Black, Jacob Taylor and Brody Black each had a goal and two helpers, and Tyler Clint, Kyle Page and Kelvin Philp also scored.

Brody Black was one of four midget call-ups in the lineup

as the Thunder dealt with the absences of Graham and Colin Winship, Adam Golia and Brandon Corby, who should all be in action soon.

“Those are four junior A quality players,” Traves Black said.

Even with those players back in action, the Thunder are a young team.

“We have a lot to learn,” Black said. “We have great kids out there, but they are inexperienced. We had at least one kid out there [besides the midget call-ups] who I don’t think had ever played at this level before.”

The bulk of this year’s junior team was on the squad that won the provincial intermediate B title last year, so there is no shortage of talent.

“This is essentially the same team, but now they’re playing against 21-year-olds,” Black noted. “They need a little bit of experience.”

The Thunder will be at Kerry Park Arena this Saturday for a rematch against Nanaimo.

Russell named Canadian women’s player of the year KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Laura Russell, a coach at Shawnigan Lake School and captain of the Cowichan Rugby Football Club’s premier women’s rugby team, was named Rugby Canada 2015 Women’s Fifteens Player of the Year during an awards ceremony at Government House in Victoria last month.

“It was amazing,” Russell said.

“I couldn’t believe it. Everyone that gets nominated is so talented and well-deserving.”

gram, Russell is the captain of the national XV team, and, according to a Rugby Canada press release, “her leadership is a big reason why her team is one of the best in the world.”

The Canadian women’s team is ranked fifth in the world, and finished an unprecedented second to England at the 2014 Women’s World Cup, which Russell played in.

Russell grew up in Ontario, but moved to Vancouver Island to work at Shawnigan thanks to an opportunity provided by Rugby

Canada, and also started to play for the Cowichan club, which she helped qualify for the B.C. Premiership this year.

Russell’s national XV team held a camp for athletes in Western Canada at Shawnigan in March, which Russell attended alongside Cowichan teammates Tyson Beukeboom and Brandi Van Eeuwen. The eastern camp wrapped up last week. Next up for the team is the Super Series in Salt Lake City with the U.S., France and England.

After the Olympics end and the

players on the national sevens team are available, the national XV team will hold another camp with the top 40 players, then begin a year of preparation for the 2017 World Cup in Ireland.

The same weekend that Russell was honoured as Fifteens Player of the Year, her Cowichan teammates Van Eeuwen and Carolyn Gudmundseth received their long-awaited caps acknowledging games they played for the national team, during a ceremony at the Canada Women’s Sevens tournament in Langford.

Mayor gets on board with Move For Health Day at Cowichan Aquatic Centre KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure will help kick off Move For Health Day on Tuesday, May 10 by taking part in the first Discover Personal Training Session at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre at the early hour of 6 a.m.

Move For Health Day is a province-wide initiative to promote physical activity.

North Cowichan and the Cowichan Aquatic Centre have participated in the event ever since the aquatic centre opened.

According to fitness programmer Jill Amy, that participation has taken different forms over that time.

“We try and change it up every year,” she said.

This year, the event includes 30-minute “Discover Personal Training” sessions with Cowichan Aquatic Centre trainers throughout the day, beginning at 6 a.m.

Also on the schedule is a blood pressure clinic from 10 a.m. to noon, “Xen with Gwen” yoga from 4 to 5 p.m., and “Zumba Trim with Kim” from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m.

At the age of 65, Lefebure is committed to staying in the best shape possible, and encourages others to do the same.

“If you’re able to go for a hike, if you’re able to go for a swim, you’re much better off if you can do those things,” he said.

Lefebure tries to be active to counteract

“If you’re able to go for a hike, if you’re able to go for a swim, you’re much better off if you can do those things.”

JON LEFEBURE, North Cowichan Mayor

the endless meetings he has to attend as the mayor of North Cowichan.

“The hours and hours of sitting is probably the toughest part of the job,” he said, noting that he enjoys yoga, swimming, basketball, and does two sessions of stretching and exercises every day.

“At any age, it’s about trying to maintain a certain level of activity,” he added.

Long-term health goes beyond just getting exercise, too.

“I found out what a massage therapist can do for me,” Lefebure said. “I found out what a physiotherapist can do for me. I found out what a personal trainer can do for me.”

In addition to taking part in Move For Health Day events, visitors to the Cowichan Aquatic Centre can get information about other programs at the facility, including newer initiatives like the Take Heart cardio rehab program, and Minds in Motion for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their partners.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After a flat start, the Cowichan Secondary Thunderbirds battled back to earn a 45-19 road win over Nanaimo District Secondary in senior boys rugby last Thursday.

The T-Birds refused to give up after falling behind the Islanders 12-0 in the early going.

“NDSS had a number of very strong runners and too many missed tackles on our part gave them early opportunities, which they took full advantage of,” Cowichan coach Tom Fogarty said. “Our second half was much better, and once we started moving the ball and hitting our power runners, we were able to turn pressure into points.”

Peyton Eagar scored four tries from inside centre, and Jake Paras, Jesse DiCarlo, John-Henry Morten and Colten Smith had one each. Owen Harvey kicked three conversions.

The T-Birds lost starting fullback and firecracker Jesse DiCarlo to a separated shoulder on the last play of the game.

The team now has six starters sidelined with injuries, and Fogarty is hoping to get them all back before the provincial tournament in Abbotsford on May 25-28.

Canadian international scrum-half Phil Mack of Victoria led a training session for the T-Birds on Monday, and Fogarty called him “an inspiration to our players.”

“We would like to publicly thank him for coming out during his free time to help us improve,” Fogarty said.

A member of the Toquaht First Nation, Mack leads the Vancouver Island Thunder rugby team, which is focused on bringing the sport to aboriginal communities on the Island and across Canada. Several Cowichan players have committed to playing for the Thunder this summer.

The T-Birds will be in action this Saturday in their last game in the Stadium Series against seventh-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir a t Shawnigan Lake School, kicking off at 2 p.m.

“We hope the local public can come out and support the T-Birds in what will be our toughest test yet,” Fogarty said.

Peewee ’Dogs get offence rolling against Campbell River KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After a couple of tough weeks, the peewee Cowichan Bulldogs finally saw their offence come alive in a 52-19 road win over the Campbell River Eagles on Saturday.

J e s s e Kw a s n y l e d t h e Cowichan attack with a number of outstanding runs that led to four touchdowns on the day, while fullback Finn Shea had several yards and one touchdown while showing impressive agility running between tackles. Also scoring was two-way lineman Jayden Strzok, who was given a chance to run with the ball and flattened multiple Campbell River defenders on his way to the end zone. Quarterback Jaxson Jones ran for a major on a bootleg play, and also connected with Chaas Mearns for a passing touchdown.

Both Campbell River touchdowns came on runs to the outside, which continue to be the Bulldogs’ Achilles heel.

Everywhere else, the Bulldogs dominated the field thanks to their strong interior line, with the emergence of spark plug Sawyer Ellison.

The junior bantam Bulldogs suffered a tough 18-6 loss to the Eagles, although the shorthanded team continued to make huge improvements.

“On defence, some of the things we have been coaching really started to click and show

up on the field,” coach Jeff McDonald said. “Containment was better and the D-line proved to be difficult for the Eagles to handle.”

McDonald highlighted a few players who stepped up.

“Oscela George was very good on the front, while new player Jordan Russell showed that football may be the game for him,” the coach said. “In his first ever gridiron game, Jordan had two sacks and two tackles, an outstanding performance.

He proved that tenacity and hard work pays off on the field.

The corner combination of Jaden Nelson and James Hagel played well in containment and combined for three tackles.

Allen Wilson had a strong game as well.”

Another bright spot was Zac (Shades) Thompson.

“His knowledge of the game, athletic ability and outstanding attitude will prove this player to be outstanding,” McDonald said. “His aggression as linebacker was instrumental in stopping many Eagle runs.

The Cowichan offence struggled until the last minute of play, when a couple of well-executed plays opened a running lane for quarterback Will Hardman to score.

The peewee Bulldogs will be back home at McAdam Park this Saturday to host the Saanich Wolverines at 11 a.m. The junior bantams are off.

Shawnigan prevails in preview of Island girls final KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Even Shawnigan Lake’s coaches and players were surprised last Thursday when they defeated Brentwood College 59-5 in a senior girls rugby battle.

“We weren’t expecting that at all,” Shawnigan coach Laura Russell said. “Brentwood always has a really good squad, and they have some really good players.”

Although her team’s offence was obviously on fire against Brentwood, Russell was also impressed with the team defence.

“The girls played really well,” she said. “They came out strong and implemented a lot of the defence we had been talking

about. We had a lot of try-saving tackles, too. Our back three played excellent rugby.”

Brentwood coach Marius Felix acknowledged that his team just wasn’t able to match Shawnigan that afternoon.

“Shawnigan has assembled a very impressive squad and, frankly, we were soundly beaten by a better team on the day,” he said. “We competed for the first 15 minutes or so, and then their power and size started to wear us down. We will get better and we are working hard to address our shortcomings as the season continues.”

The rivals will meet again in the Island final on May 14 at Shawnigan at 2:30 p.m.

The Frances Kelsey Breakers ended league play in senior boys high school rugby with a 42-0 win over Alberni District on Wednesday afternoon.

The Breakers got several of their injured players back and added a couple of new recruits to the lineup, putting the team closer to full strength.

The Breakers will begin the

playoffs next Tuesday, hosting Nanaimo District, with the winner going on to play Brentwood College on Thursday to determine the No. 1 seed out of the North Island.

“I am hoping we are the team to play Brentwood and that we can compete for an entire game against a private school that is very well versed in the game of rugby,” coach Craig Schmidt said.

Mustangs get back in the win column KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Nolan Fothergill pitched a three-hit, six-strikeout gem for the Cowichan Valley Mustangs as they cruised to an 11-1 win over the Nanaimo Buccaneers in a midget AAA baseball showdown at Evans Park on Wednesday evening.

Fothergill pitched all five innings for the Mustangs, who scored their 11 runs over just four innings as they mercied the Bucs.

Jayden Hamm was 2-for-2 at the plate, with a solo home run and an RBI double, also reaching base when he was hit by a pitch. Tanner Cummings, Brayden Radcliffe and James McMahon also had a pair of RBIs apiece.

After letting a comfortable lead slip away in their first game against the Victoria Eagles last Saturday, the midget AAA Cowichan Valley Mustangs were unable to recover and suffered a blowout defeat in the second half of the baseball doubleheader.

“The team took the first-game loss hard,” head coach Mario Iannidinardo said. “It looked like we had it in the bag. Victoria just never let up. It was tough to recover and it showed in the second game.”

The Mustangs built a 6-3 lead over Victoria in the first game behind the strong pitching of Cole Anderson, who struck out five Eagles over four and one-third innings. Unfortunately, his team couldn’t hold the lead against a late-innings surge

by Victoria, and had to settle for a 7-6 loss.

Seven different players had one hit apiece for the Mustangs, including Tanner Cummings, who was 1-for-1 and walked twice to reach base in every place appearance, and scored two runs. Brandon Langer was 1-for-2, and Jacob Montague led the team with RBIs.

The Mustangs will welcome the Chilliwack Cougars to Evans Park for a doubleheader this Saturday, playing at 1 and 3:30 p.m.

Relieving Anderson on the mound were Dyson Kew, who pitched one inning and struck out one, and Jayden Hamm, who struck out two in one and two-thirds innings.

Deflated by the late-inning loss, the Mustangs came out flat in the second inning and ended up on the wrong side of a 17-6 final score.

DAYTON, Millie

June 22, 1928 – April 27, 2016

Our mom, Mildred "Millie" Jeanne Dayton (or "Nana Millie", as many people knew her) passed away on April 27, surrounded by the family she loved so much.

Millie was predeceased by her brother Gord, son John, husband Joe, granddaughter Christy, and brother Ed. Keeping her memory in their hearts are Linda, Mark, Jill, Judy, Ron and Devon. Her grandchildren, Luke, Kelsey (Chris), Brodie, Cassie, Jonathan, Lynne and Jeffrey, were precious to her, and they will miss her beautiful laughter and warm hugs, as will all her nieces and nephews. Millie also had three sweet great grandchildren - Olivia, Alexander and Rachel.

Millie was born in 1928 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She married her husband, Joe, started a family, and moved to Vancouver Island in 1968. Throughout her career as a registered nurse, her sense of humour and compassionate nature touched the lives of colleagues, patients and countless others who crossed her path. Her ability to lighten any situation and make anyone laugh stayed with her always.

One of her favourite sayings was "Life is a journey - not a destination" and her journey was a good one, long and filled with family, music, laughter and love. We are so grateful to have been part of her wonderful ride.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Our family offers its heartfelt gratitude to all Mom's friends, Dr. Booth and Dr. Grimes, the staff at Duncan Manor, Cairnsmore Place and the Cowichan District Hospital, for their compassionate care of this very special lady, our mom.

"We lose less when we laugh more. There is a time to laugh - and it is always right now." - Suzanne Kyra FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES 250-748-2134

After a long, well lived life Kathleen (Beise) Hogan passed away on March 13, 2016 at the age of 94.

Her family would like you to join them at her Memorial Service at St. Peter’s Quamichan, 5800 Church Rd., Duncan, BC on Friday, May 20, 2016 at 11:00 am.

John (Jack) Harcourt Atkinson Died April 24, 2016 in his 83rd year.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce (nee Glanville), his sister Lois Olson, sister-in-law Mary, and by his children Philip (Andrea), Carolyn (Peter), Lynette (Norm), Edward (Leanne) and 11 grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Vernon and Caroline (nee Mott) and his brother Basil.

Jack was born on the home farm, Section 34-1-27 Coulter P.O., Manitoba, as he would proudly tell anyone who asked. There he had an idyllic childhood and graduated as valedictorian of his class in Melita. He left the Coulter area to work in Alberta. While in Calgary he met Joy; they married and started their family. They moved to Duncan in 1967 where he worked at BCFP Crofton until retiring in 1994.

Family was always very important to Jack: he would load the family in the Oldsmobile and head ‘home’ to Manitoba whenever he could. He and Mom enjoyed many holidays to Mexico and Arizona. He loved his grandchildren, gardening, sunshine, and outdoors. He was generous, and had a unique sometimes reckless sense of humor, all part of the legacy he has given his children.

A memorial service will be held May 14 th at 10:00 am at St. John’s Anglican Church, 486 Jubilee St. Duncan.

Many thanks to the Doctors at Alderlea Clinic and the kind nursing and care staff at Cowichan District Hospital.

In leiu of flowers, a gift could be made to St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Duncan.

SLOAN, JEAN July 12,1919 – April 24, 2016 Eleanor “Jean” Sloan passed away on April 24, 2016 at the age of 96 years. She was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, the only child of Olive and Allan Whyte. The family moved to Calgary where Jean grew up in the Sunalta area. Jean would eventually make a home close by to be near her parents. She met her husband, James (Jim) William Sloan, during her attendance at Central High School.

A lengthy romance ensued while Jim finished his engineering degree and they married on May 21, 1942 in Arnprior, Ontario. Their only child, Linda, arrived in 1944.

Artistic in nature, Jean enjoyed singing in choirs and on the radio. Some of her other creative endeavors included sewing, painting and working with crafts. Golf and bridge were passionate pursuits. She worked as a flower designer, an office worker in a munitions plant during the war, and later, as an investment advisor in Edmonton; a skill she used to great advantage over the years.

Jim’s work afforded extensive travel including Quebec, Guam, Malaysia, California and Arizona. After Jim passed, the travel continued, be it cruises with Linda or painting trips with girlfriends to scenic Kananaskis, Banff and Jasper. Maintaining close relationships was a priority as she continued to add friendships throughout her life.

Barbie and Grady Kittleson and Isabelle Crowcroft are among those who were significant in her later years.

Jean will be missed by her loving family: daughter Linda Manson (Earl), grandsons Scott Kittleson, Steven Manson (Rachel) and Geoff Manson and great grand-children Anna and Alex Manson as well as former son-in-law Brian Kittleson (Stevie). Jean will be fondly remembered by her cousins Al Whyte (Marg) and Pat Hislop and her nieces and nephews, Margie Niven (Bob), Barbie Gammie, Don Gammie, David Gammie and their families. Jean was predeceased by her parents, Olive and Allan Whyte, her dear husband, Jim Sloan and his sisters, Ruth Sloan and Helen Gammie and brother-inlaw Ken Gammie.

A special thanks to Dr. Teresa Elliott, the staffs and caregivers at Wedgewood House, Dovehill House and the Cowichan District Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation, #4-466 Trans-Canada Hwy, Duncan, B.C., V9L 3R6. For the convenience of family and friends, a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
