SUNSHINE AND SMILES MARK REMEMBRANCE DAY IN DUNCAN With their 100th birthdays coming up in April, and just a day apart, Bill Heil and Winnifred Finley had plenty to talk about at Charles Hoey Park on Wednesday, Nov. 11 during the annual Remembrance Day ceremony. The event, which was greeted with sunshine and a bit of a chill, was very well attended. See page 30 for more photos, or go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

Teen critical after being hit by mini-van SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A Duncan teen is fighting for his life after being stuck by a mini-van near the silver bridge. The 15-year-old was hit about 11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7 and was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital where he remains in critical condition. Witnesses told police the youth

was crossing the 100-block of the Trans Canada Highway outside of a crosswalk. The mini-van driver, a 29 year old Duncan resident, was northbound in the left lane on the highway. He was unable to avoid the pedestrian who stepped off the cement median. “A preliminary investigation by the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP has revealed that the 2002

Chevy Venture appeared to be maintaining the posted speed limit of 50 km/h and there is no reason to believe that alcohol is a causal factor for the driver,” according to a press release issued by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Krista Hobday. She went on to say that the extent of the pedestrian’s injur-

ies are not known at this time, though they are not believed to be life threatening. “As the dreary, wet weather closes in on us as we enter the second week of November, we are encouraging pedestrians and motorists to be visible and aware of their surroundings as they make their way to and from their destinations,” Hob-

day added. Community Policing volunteers have partnered again this year with ICBC Road Safety to help raise awareness of the importance of pedestrian visibility. Tips for pedestrians to increase being seen include: making eye contact with drivers. See NEVER ASSUME, Page 13

Malahat Nation inks deal with School District 79 LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley School District and the Malahat Nation have signed a local education ag reement (LEA) following months of negotiation. The agreement is designed to shape the delivery of education to Malahat Nation students, while addressing the objectives of both the district and the band. Malahat Nation CEO Lawrence Lewis said, on releasing a notice of the LEA, “What is so unique about this agreement is that it is student-centred and family-focused while steeped in culture.” He praised collaborative efforts to find solutions. “By having an LEA that is creative and innovative we are continuing to build self determination and strengthen governance opportunities that impact our citizens.” Lewis commented further that, “At Malahat Nation, we are committed to doing big, bold and beautiful things, this agreement reflects the essence of nation building for future generations.” Over the past six months senior staff of both organizations have been working together, taking special note that the band’s

This point was stressed last year when Malahat representatives spoke to the board at a public meeting, emphasizing the importance of education in a group that included so many young children. Lewis said that, “One of the innovative aspects of this agreement is the nation’s commitment to work with citizens on creating personal life plans for all students entering the school system and the district’s commitment to integrate these plans as the student’s education plan. These plans will grow and evolve through the students’ educational journey.” School Board chair Candace Spilsbury said she is confident the relationship described in

the LEA will improve the educational outcomes for the Malahat students. “The students and their families, the Malahat Nation and the school district each have a part in a child’s education and we are pleased with the level of cooperation envisioned in this agreement,” she said. Both parties have created a joint working group as part of the LEA that will allow decision makers and front line staff the ability to solve problems and plan together on an ongoing basis. “By working together in unique and innovative ways to meet the needs of students and families we are fundamentally changing, in a positive way, how we deliver education,” Lewis said.

Receiving more than 4,000 votes for the award, a Cobble Hill Breeder has won the Canadian Kennel Club Pets Plus Us Top Canadian Breeder award. Bev Dorma of MistyTrails Havanese said she will donate her prize money to the B.C. Children’s Hospital’s Child Life pet visitation program, which supports the psychosocial needs of children and families in hospital by giving them opportunities to experience unconditional acceptance from the animals, relief from stress and worry, and a chance to normalize their activities, even for a short time. Dorma said she chose the charity because of a relationship she’s built with Victoria’s Elise Schoenrank, who recently died at age 17 after a six-year battle with cancer. “She was given her dream pup

City of Duncan developing modern, updated website

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Frustrated with the City of Duncan’s less than stellar website? So are City of Duncan officials. Coun. Michelle Staples confirmed that during the last council meeting the final steps toward authorizing the development of a new website were approved. “The team is being selected that will be working on it so work will be getting underway shortly,” she said. Users can look forward to a more user-friendly, and easier to navigate interface compared to the current www.duncan. ca pages, which will remain up and running until the big changeover. “It’s very old and archaic,” Staples said

of today’s site. “It’s been years since that website was redone.” A facelift will bring Duncan’s site in line with more modern sites at the Cowichan Valley Regional District ( www.cvrd.bc.ca) and at the Municipality of North Cowichan (www.northcowichan.ca). The upgrade to Duncan’s site will make it easier to pay bills, too. “It will have an online payment capacity for utilities and different things that will be worked into it,” Staples said. “It’s going to be fantastic.” According to committee of the whole minutes, the City has budgeted $45,000 for the project, though looks to spend about $37,000. The remainder will be kept in a contingency fund.

Catalyst wants pumps to keep river flowing If next summer is dry, then Catalyst could be pumping water over the weir from Cowichan Lake to keep the Cowichan River viable. Catalyst’s Crofton operation has applied for a licence to pump water from the upstream side of the Lake Cowichan boat lock and weir (located near 300 North Shore Rd.) to the downstream side of the structure which will maintain up to five cubic meters per second of flow in the Cowichan River. Approximately 30 per cent of this water will be used by Catalyst under its existing water licence, which authorizes water for the pulp and paper facility in Crofton and for domestic use by the Village of Crofton, while 70 per cent will be used for conservation purposes to support fish populations in the Cowichan River, according to the application. Although it might appear to be a reaction solely to last summer’s drought, the move is based on years of observation, according to Harold Norlund, Crofton mill’s vice-president and general manager. Built in 1957, the weir at Cowichan Lake is there “to hold back more of the spring and summer rains and snow melt and then release it back out during the

fall,” he said. But even though summers were dry in the 1950s, there were snowy winters, too. “People used to ski at Green Mountain [south of Nanaimo] and Mt. Arrowsmith in Port Alberni but now it has really changed. You don’t get the snow continuing into the July period and so the lake goes down way faster than it used to. The weir is there but the water won’t last,” he said. This is not a new problem for the Cowichan Valley but “for the last few years it’s been gut-wrenching looking at it. It’s like [the weather] has shifted a month. It used to be dry from mid-July to early October but now it starts in May.” Low water affects the migration of salmon but its reach goes far beyond that, Norlund said, pointing out that the outfalls from the sewage treatment operations run by Lake Cowichan and the Joint Utilities Board are also affected by the Cowichan River flow in a drought year. “We have to try and hold enough water to last into Nov. 5. But it’s clear the fall rains don’t seem to come at the right time and you can tell that the river is going to go down. This is not just about if you run out of water, the mill has to shut down until it rains. There’s more to it,” Norlund said. This past summer, Catalyst paid for an independent environment-

This is a short term measure. For the long-term, for a hundred years, this is not an appropriate solution.” Norlund said that DFO will decide which fish conservation

efforts should be undertaken, if they are needed. “The permit says we must keep the lower part of the river above 2.83 cu metres per second. Last summer, that flow got to around 3.1.” The mill uses about 1.6 cubic metres per second itself, which is “far down from what it used in the past” partly because of new cooling systems. Now, the idea is to be ready to

help keep the river flowing, if needed. The pumping option involves floating, low-velocity pumps. “They float on the surface, like a fish pen, and would pump water over the weir without stirring up the bottom, continuing to flow until the fall rains came,” Norlund said. The floating pumps would have to be fueled by a diesel generator because there “is not an easy place to get electricity there. If you were going to do it long term you would have to put in a power substation in. But this is only a two-year permit.” Many people all along the watershed became anxious river watchers and are interested in Catalyst’s application. Norlund said there were about 25 comments dropped in the box at an open house in Lake Cowichan last week. There will not be an opportunity for a public meeting but people can still send in comments until Nov. 29 by emailing contact.us@catalystpaper.com or in writing to Catalyst Paper, Box 70, Crofton, B.C., V0R 1R0. Objections to this application may also be filed with the Regional Water Manager, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, 2080 Labieux Rd, Nanaimo, B.C., V9T 6J9.

OUR VIEW

Honeymoon period continues in Ottawa

he honeymoon period continues with the new federal Liberal government. So far, most of the things that they’ve done have been to keep campaign promises, and most of those promises have been pretty uncontroversial. Pulling Canadian troops from directly taking part in air strikes in Syria has been the lone one so far to even ping on the side of prompting debate. Just after penning and printing an editorial opining that we hoped they’d bring back the long form census forthwith the announcement came down that

they were doing just that for the next census reporting period in 2016. Nothing but applause here. It also felt like emerging once again into daylight when the announcement came that government scientists would no longer be muzzled by the prime minister’s office. This one always seemed like it belonged under some authoritarian regime somewhere in the 1980s, not now, in a democracy like Canada. These scientists, after all, are supposed to work for the people of Canada, not the Conservative Party, or whoever else might

happen to be in power in the House of Commons at any given time. As such, Canadians should be able to hear from the horse’s mouth exactly what it is they are doing with our tax dollars. We believe that the people of Canada want to hear the truth, unfiltered by anybody’s particular political agenda. And we certainly don’t want it kept from us entirely because it might be inconvenient to a political philosophy. We cheer the move that now lets scientists talk to the public directly and without censoring about their work in any num-

ber of important fields from fisheries and oceans, to climate change. Now we’d like to see it taken that next step and see some of the axed funding for important research in the public interest restored. That might be where the stumbling block comes in. After all, we’re being warned this week that all is not as financially well in Ottawa as our previous government led everyone to believe pre-election (no surprise there), and that economic outlooks aren’t that rosy. For now, it’s stay tuned.

Supporters list available to area director In the recent article “Deep division over rock festival”, it was noted that at the public meeting for the Rock of the Woods Temporary Use Permit on Oct. 26 I made mention of a list of supporters from the Sahtlam/Sunrise Road neighbourhood and that we would not be making this list public due to privacy concerns. I would like to clarify that at that meeting I stated publicly that we have offered to make this list of local supporters available to Area E director Nicholson so that she may use it in her deliberations regarding the permit. To date, director Nicholson has not requested this information from us.

Since our founding in 2009 we have been an open and transparent community event. We are proud of our working relationship with CVRD staff, the Sahtlam Volunteer Fire Department, RCMP, and other emergency services and local stakeholders. We trust that all CVRD directors will make their decision on our permit using evidence based decision making. Our operations plan is comprehensive and has been endorsed by various emergency services, including the local fire department. While there is a vocal minority in Area E opposed to this community event, the public record from Oct. 26 shows that there are many from the Sunrise Road neighbourhood and the wider

Cowichan Valley that support the festival. It now falls to all area directors to use the facts before them to make a sound and informed decision, taking into account the direct benefits of this festival for the residents of Area E and all residents of the Cowichan Valley. We encourage residents of the Cowichan Valley to visit the CVRD’s website to read our operations plan and consult the minutes of the public meeting. We believe that the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that this site is ideal for a safe, fun, and respectful community event. Kelly Black Rock of the Woods Music Festival

Re: Don’t throw out babies with AAP bathwater Further to your subject view in Friday’s Oct. 30, Citizen, I have no objections to Alternative Approval Process (AAP) if it wasn’t done in such an underhanded way. At a recent meeting in Lake Cowichan it came to light that the Bylaw 3918, “The future of flood management”, is not to improve the dikes under the jurisdiction of either Duncan or North Cowichan, but instead will be used to have a study done to determine how to prevent future flooding. The CVRD staff, at this time, does not know what needs to be done or if permission can be obtained, from the various governments, to do the remedial work in the Cowichan River. The CVRD administration is putting the cart before the horse with this bylaw. I propose that Bylaw 3918 be withdrawn forthwith and that an amended bylaw with a one-time only charge of $2.65 per $100,000 of net taxable value of the properties in the affected area be put forth instead. Use these funds to do the study, or have the study done, and after finding out what needs to be done and, after approval is obtained from the various governments (federal and provincial), and interested parties (native tribes), do a cost calculation and go back to the electorate with a referendum in the 2018 election.

Valid reasons to oppose rock festival Wait a minute! Our group opposing the siting of the Rock of the Woods on Irvine Drive has grown used to being painted as “naysayers” by the Citizen’s Kevin Rothbauer but the Nov. 6 page 3 article, “Deep Divisions” goes beyond that into the ridiculous! Anyone who reads that unidentified “opponents of the festival” claimed that an illegitimate baby was born at the event, a dog’s death was caused by the loud music, and that the festival was compared to the “spawn of Satan” will conclude that opponents to the event are all nutters. Sadly, reporting such nonsense, without any attribution, has the effect of dismissing any opponent, no matter how rational, well-researched and honest their arguments. Your reporter does the whole neighbourhood a disservice by not identifying his sources for the more off-the-wall comments. If

he had talked to anyone in our group, he would know that we are not against Rock of the Woods, but we are against it being held again in this vulnerable part of our rural residential neighbourhood. The festival was granted a temporary land use permit for 2015, which we felt was a mistake, and we definitely do not want to see the festival become a permanent event in this location, for these main reasons: • Fire is a constant worry in the summer, where the property and the one road that provides legal access to it are usually tinder-dry. We know how quickly an unattended candle or carelessly dropped cigarette butt could ignite this fuel and spread to our yards, barns, livestock, and homes. • Also related to the fire danger is our concern that the site has only one legal access point, via the narrow and ill-maintained Sunrise Drive. Not only is the overgrown drive itself a possible ignition site, we

can’t imagine how emergency vehicles would use it to reach the site if there were a fire, as it would soon be blocked by locals and festivalgoers needing to flee. • With no onsite showers, we are concerned about the health of our river when up to 1,200 visitors are invited to use it for bathing. (The organizers deny that number but have applied for 416 campsites. They can’t deny that bathers will bring soap, shampoos, etc.) The Cowichan, a heritage river, is especially vulnerable at that time of year when levels are low. In short, we have legitimate objections to the non-agricultural use of this rural residential land, whether for this rock festival or any other high-occupancy event, and hope that the CVRD has the vision to put the longtime health of our area first, before commercial interests.

Fireworks uncomfortable Please find a way to remind readers that Halloween or Christmas fireworks upset people who have experienced war and violence, and dogs, who may panic and quiver and hide, or jump fences and tear around and get run over. While some are all out gasping gah! omg!, others are very uncomfortable. So details of events would be useful, so people can at least prepare. Margot Izard Cowichan Valley

At times, elk will wander close to human habitation. People should not try to engage the elk in close quarters, however. It is dangerous for both the human and the animal. [DENIS MARTEL PHOTO]

Do not hand feed the elk; you’re not helping This fall in Lake Cowichan, we are again fortunate to witness the majestic Roosevelt bull elk! First, let us not forget that these animals are not tame. Second, these animals are not your new pet. Roosevelt elk are wild animals. They are not to be trusted. Recently, it has come to my attention that a few people are venturing too close to the elk. While it can be the thrill of a lifetime to witness a bull elk, you must be respectful of these animals by giving them the appropriate amount of space they need to enter or exit an area. Please keep your distance

In closing, I would like to leave you with one thought: if a bear wanders into town, do you try and feed it by hand? When a bear begins to be a threat to humans, the Conservation Officer Service is called and a conservation officer is dispatched. The officer will assess the situation and appropriate action must be taken. The end result might be to relocate or shoot the bear. These actions are no different for an elk if is deemed that the elk is a threat to humans. Enjoy the elk that have come into town — but enjoy them from a safe distance.

Last year’s vaccine was not the best match however for this flu season, the vaccine will contain strains that will give recipients much better protection. It’s important that we all get a flu shot each year. Are you going to?

when viewing a bull elk. On several occasions people have gone way too close to these animals. Numerous people have attempted to get within a few inches of them. In some instances, people actually tried to feed these bull elk…BY HAND! In another instance someone ripped flowers out of a property owner’s flower box and hand fed the bull elk! To an elk, this type of action can very well be seen as a threat! When an elk is threatened, they are unpredictable. They could escape without harming anyone. They could bolt over you and injure you with their hooves. They may attempt to defend themselves with their antlers (use your imagination here).

◆ TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Festivals: unique marketing opportunities for communities PETER WATTS SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

oday’s travel and tourism industry is highly competitive. Destinations — those that are well-developed and those well on their way as emerging stars — are all fighting for artistic standout, awareness, appreciation and booking action. Promises of experiences, emotion and endless possibilities for pleasure abound. Some destinations sparkle, some are magical, some are breathtaking and some are simply incredible. With all this competition and campaigning, there is one edge that all destinations across the world have at their disposal but is often overlooked — a competitive advantage that can so powerfully boost a destination’s ability to break through and attract travellers in a very unique and engaging way. That edge is festivals. Extending a unique form of invitation to the world’s travellers, festivals bring life, energy, engagement, and the emotion of a destination like few other experiences can. Importantly, festivals offer a destination the opportunity to achieve a number of strategic actions central to travel and tourism growth and development. These include increased yield, increased length of stay, year round visitation, increased distribution of travellers throughout the area and best of all, repeat visitation.

Sunfest is the Valley’s biggest festival, bringing thousands of people. [CITIZEN FILE] Destination development plans and marketing strategies should consider festivals as powerful, meaningful destination building blocks. Festivals can build and strengthen the cooperative brand. An opportunity to present a unified image of the individual communities working together towards a bigger picture is priceless. Festivals, with all their energy, excitement and anticipation, add inspiring and highly enticing news value to destination marketing campaigns and most importantly they instill a sense of community pride and a spirit of welcome. Peter Watts is the general manager of the Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn.

WILDERNESS watch

Cowichan Valley photographer takes third spot SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

It’s the kind of photo that makes you want to turn and run the other way — if you weren’t so captivated by what you’re looking at. Perhaps that’s why Cobble Hillbased photographer Melanie Leeson earned third place in the BC SPCA’s 2015 Wildlife-in-Focus Photography Contest in the Wild Settings Category for her photo of a running bear that looks like it’s about to leap out of the photo and onto your lap. Leeson took the photo last year up by Port Hardy, but can remember the circumstances like it was just yesterday. “We were having a moment,” she said with a chuckle. “What happened is the bear was in a fight with another bear over a fishing hole. It was a male and when he broke out of the fight, he ran straight at us.” Leeson said at that point she really only had two choices. “I said ‘you know what, I can either keep clicking away or I can run and running’s not going to help’ so I might as well keep clicking away.” T h a t ’s h o w s h e g o t h e r award-winning shot. “We were in a tidal area and had the tripods set up on slippery rocks so it wasn’t one of those run situations,” she admitted. The bear did end up making a hard right-hand turn at the last

second, just before he got to the photographers, so it all worked out in the end. Leeson said while slightly terrifying, she never felt she was in significant danger. “They’ve got fish to eat and they’re happy,” she explained. “They’re just willing to tolerate us in their space for a little while.” More than 600 entries were submitted to the SPCA’s annual summertime nature photography contest, raising $4,085 for wild animals in need in B.C. Leeson and Crofton’s Shannon Reiner, who earned an honourable mention in the Backyard Habitats category with her photo of a Cooper’s Hawk, were the only Cowichan residents to place, though in a testament to the region’s natural wonder, five of the six top finishers and seven of the 16 finalists overall (including honourable mentions) were from Vancouver Island. “We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and are surrounded by such a diversity of wild animals throughout the province,” said Dr. Sara Dubois, BC SPCA chief scientific officer. “The photos of our local wildlife captured by such a wide range of photographers are absolutely stunning.” Visit spca.bc.ca/wildlife-infocus to see all of the finalists’ submissions.

◆ CAMPBELL RIVER

Halt mailbox installations: council City council is calling on Canada Post to halt the installation of community mailboxes for Campbell River addresses that still have door-to-door delivery. At last Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Larry Samson put forward a motion that council write to Canada Post insisting on the temporary suspension of all community mailbox installations. “It just drives me crazy how they can bring in these policies across the nation and then all of a sudden things change and they’re halfway done doing our community and they don’t know what they’re doing,” Samson said. “I think until such time as the newly elected federal government undertakes its comprehensive review, I’d like to see all future community mailboxes stop.” Canada Post announced on Oct. 26 that it is “temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert doorto-door mail delivery to community mailboxes.” However, the corporation said those communities – including Campbell River — that already made the switch will continue to use community mailboxes.

Indecent exposure near elementary school School District 72 released the following statement: “We have been informed by Campbell River RCMP that an individual exposed themselves to two elementary students near Penfield Elementary School. The students were not physically harmed and were able to get safely to the school where they reported the incident. “It is our understanding that RCMP have a person of interest in custody and that this incident is unrelated to a similar episode that occurred near Timberline Secondary in September. “Parents/guardians are asked to please share this information with your child(ren)

and instruct them to call 911 immediately or report the incident to their school principal should they ever experience a similar encounter. For safety, it is also always advised that they walk to and from school with a friend.

◆ QUADRA ISLAND

Quadra needs affordable housing A long-planned and desperately-needed seniors’ and affordable housing facility for Quadra Island is continuing to inch its way closer to becoming reality. “The housing situation is not very good on the island,” according to Karen Gair, director and treasurer with the Quadra Circle Community Connections Society, one of the partners involved in the housing initiative. “There are lots of people who are living in their campers and that kind of thing, because they can’t get any accommodations, and if they can, it’s too expensive for them.” “We have close to 70 people who are going to need housing here in the next five years. There are certainly some seniors who need it tomorrow,” agrees Maureen McDowell, president of the organization. The issues with the lack of housing on Quadra – especially affordable housing – are varied and complicated. “There are restrictions for where development can take place on the island,” McDowell says, “because we do want to keep it a rural feel. People can (only) develop here in the Q-Cove area, and in parts of the Heriot Bay area.” Which is why they are hoping to secure a parcel of land in Quathiaski Cove where they could build a seniors’ complex.

The woman was first introduced to local police when she wandered into a local residence uninvited around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, according to Sgt. Jeff Swann of the Ucluelet RCMP. “She was no risk to anybody, she was just extremely intoxicated and confused,” Swann said. “We tried to take her to her hotel but she was too drunk to figure out what room she was in.” With the only other accommodation-option being her truck, where she couldn’t be trusted to stay, the woman was detained in cells until she sobered up. She didn’t stay sober for long however as she was arrested again around 5:30 p.m. for being drunk in public. Black Press

Almost immediately after Duncan’s White Spot restaurant was destroyed by fire, organizers began planning a fundraising dance for its employees. After months of planning, that dance is just a couple weeks away, slated for Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Eagles Hall in Duncan. Things kick off at 8 p.m. and band Row of Crowz has donated its time to play for the cause. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the York Street Diner. Check Facebook’s #619 White Spot Benefit Dance page for more information. Rhonda Ring-Campbell, one of the dance’s organizers, managed the White Spot for six years. “It was our store and our home. It has hit

home really hard,” she said. “Most of the staff, a lot of them I hired when they were kids. They’ve been there for a very long time. There’s three staff members that have been there since the store opened. That was 20 years ago. It’s a store that gives so much to the community.” Duncan Eagles local 2546 stepped up this week with a donation for the cause. Recently Eagles 2546 president Ed Kehler and past president Jim Drummond presented Campbell and White Spot employees Fawn Allan and Jane McConnell with a $1,000 cheque. The Eagles challenge other service clubs to donate as well. Cheques, made out in trust to Duncan Whitespot benefit dance, can be dropped at the Duncan Eagles lounge located at 2965 Boys Rd.

Caring with Cookies a growing tradition LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

From a few batches of cookies she baked herself and donated to one shelter, the Valley’s Stacy Middlemiss has seen her Caring with Cookies idea grow to offer help to the needy all across southern Vancouver Island. “I started Caring with Cookies in 2007 when I was trying to remind myself what Christmas was really about,” she said. “The first couple of years, the small freezer above my fridge was enough to store the cookies and I believe I only donated to one shelter.” But, every year the event continues to grow. “We went from just 360 packages in 2012 to 977 in 2014...that’s 5,862 cookies in total,” she said. Middlemiss admits that hers is only one of many initiatives to help the unfortunate but she thinks it’s really worthwhile. “I know that cookies aren’t going to end homelessness or change the world but I feel like if I can remind the recipients, who are down on their luck and probably missing their families, that someone out there is thinking of them then it’s worth it,” she explained. Caring means sharing to Middlemiss. “These people didn’t ask for their lives to turn out they way they did; many of them are struggling with addictions and/or are the product of some kind of abuse. One of my shelter contacts told me that Caring with Cookies is ‘a personal piece of love for people who have no people.’ I like that,” she said. So, how does it all work? “Volunteers bake cookies (some bake a dozen, some 10 dozen) and drop them off at one of the designated drop-off locations. We freeze the cookies throughout the month and, just before Christmas, my family gets together and packages them

Caring with Cookies is ‘a personal piece of love for people who have no people.’ STACY MIDDLEMISS, Caring with Cookies

up into bags of about six each.” Then the distribution starts. “My husband and I get up very early on Christmas Eve morning and head out to deliver. We start out at 5 a.m. by meeting Rev. Al Tysick of the Dandelion Society and deliver cookies, coffee, cigarettes, and conversation to those people that literally sleep on the streets because they can’t stay in a shelter, for whatever reason. Then we deliver to nine other shelters (woman’s and homeless) in Victoria. Next, we head back to Duncan and deliver to Warmland House and then we’re off to Nanaimo to four other shelters. We are hoping to add a Ladysmith location this year as well. We leave it up to the individual shelters to hand out the cookies as they see fit because this project isn’t about me getting recognition from them for thinking about them. It’s about them feeling the love, no strings attached.” Middlemiss said she wanted to thank “the hundreds of people that have shown such kindness over the past eight years in helping me make this idea of mine into something I never could have dreamt of. People start contacting me in September making sure that we are still on for this year. It has become a tradition in many households to bake cookies for this cause.” Confirmed Cowichan Valley drop-off locations are: The Footwear Centre in Lake Cowichan; Cowichan Sound & Cellular in Duncan; and Uforik Computers in Ladysmith For updates on drop-off locations, pictures, how cookies should be packaged and more people can look on Facebook for “Caring with Cookies”.

Stacy Middlemiss, right, is delighted to be able to help such agencies as the Dandelion Society with her Caring with Cookies campaign. You can join in, too. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Our newest naval ship to honour heroic Victoria nursing sister

t only took 73 years for the Canadian government to recognize Margaret CHRONICLES Brooke of Victoria T.W. Paterson as a hero. Fortunately, she lived long enough to receive the honour, even if she did have to wait until her 100th year! The British government hadn’t been nearly so tardy in awarding her an OBE (membership in the Order of the British Empire), the only nursing sister to be so honoured. Belated or no, Margaret Brooke’s Canadian recognition comes not in the form of a medal or an exalted membership but in the real-life form of an Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship, HMCS Margaret Brooke, which was to begin construction this fall. “It is...a privilege for our country that Margaret Brooke will lend her name to one of our naval ships, as her courage and self-sacrifice have inspired, and will continue to inspire, generations of Canadian naval personnel for years to come,” said Defence Minister Jason Kenney after speaking to her by telephone in April. The next day, her centennial,

Margaret Brooke was recognized as a hero on her 100th birthday, when a naval ship was named for her. [GOVERNMENT OF CANADA PHOTO] Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific, called on her to personally congratulate her — and to wish her a happy birthday. “I am just overwhelmed,”

Brooke, whose last contact with the navy had been when she left the service 53 years before, told the Times-Colonist. See AFTER FERRY, Page 18

After ferry struck by torpedo, Brooke spent two hours in the freezing ocean before rescue OUR NEWEST, From Page 16 “The navy just doesn’t name ships after people. It’s quite surprising.” A Canadian Nursing Sister as navy nurses were known then, the Saskatchewan-born Brooke’s moment of glory came on Oct. 14, 1942, when she and navy sister Agnes Wilkie took passage aboard the ferry Caribou which plied the Cabot Strait off Newfoundland. Struck by a torpedo from the German submarine U-69 in the early morning hours despite having a minesweeper escort, the ferry foundered in just five minutes. Of the 237 people on board, 137 men, women and children were lost. Rescue operations were severely hindered by the fact that the escort vessel, HMCS Grandmere, had to first

attempt to find and destroy the U-boat; hence it was 90 minutes before Capt. Cuthbert gave up the chase (unaware that the U-69 was resting comfortably, at 140 metres, until the coast cleared) and turned back to assist those still in the water. Among them were Margaret Brooke and her navy sister Agnes Wilkie. After the Caribou plunged, Brooke managed to grasp the ropes of an overturned lifeboat with one hand and, with her other hand, to hold onto Wilkie. They had been in the freezing sea two hours by the time they were picked up; too late for Wilkie who’d succumbed to hypothermia. Her death earned her the dubious distinction of being the only Canadian nurse killed due to enemy action in the Second World War.

She’s been remembered, too, as a letter writer pointed out in response to the T-C article on the christening of HMCS Margaret Brooke: “The nurses’ residence at HMCS Stadacona in Halifax was named in honour of the nursing sister Brooke tried so valiantly to save,” noted Ken McKenzie of Salt Spring Island. Brooke’s vain attempt to save Wilkie earned her the OBE — the only nursing sister to receive this honour. As it happened, Wilkie’s wasn’t the only death of a female in uniform: also lost in the Caribou sinking was Bride Fitzpatrick of the Newfoundland Merchant Navy. Fitzpatrick, too, was the only woman in her respective service to be killed during the Second World War. No fewer than 23 Canadian and Allied merchant and naval ships were sunk

“After the Caribou plunged, Brooke managed to grasp the ropes of an overturned lifeboat with one hand and, with her other hand, to hold onto Wilkie. They had been in the freezing sea two hours by the time they were picked up; too late for Wilkie who’d succumbed to hypothermia.” T.W. PATERSON, columnist

in the Battle of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence — “the only time since the War of 1812 that enemy ships killed Canadians in their own inland waters,” according to the CBC. Of those 23 ships (with the loss of 340 lives) the sinking of the Caribou came at the end of the Gulf incursions by U-boats, the German Admiralty having decided that the risks weren’t worth what they considered to be negligible returns. www.twpaterson.com

• On Oct. 29 Beta Sigma Phi members hosted a fall reception where they welcomed new members and those who have transferred to the area. Dinner was served at the Silver Bridge Inn. Following dinner a presentation was made by Mary Ann Deacon and Gretchen Hartley from the Cowichan Valley Hospice Society. “Our local Hospice has been operating in the Valley since 1981. They have been working for 33 years to increase hospice beds and facilities in our area. A task force is currently underway to look at how a new hospice facility would look for the benefits of our community. “Island Health has confirmed that Cowichan Lodge or Cairnsmore are preferred locations for seven hospice beds planned to open in 2017-2918. It is up to our community to develop our vision and gather the resources to build a centre of excellence that will provide the choice, care, comfort that our loved ones deserve at end of life,” Hospice presenters told the group.

The Valley’s own Ed Peekeekoot is offering tunes from his latest CD Island Man in a special show Friday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Mercury Theatre in Duncan. He’s teaming up with Gabriola-based cellist Corbin Keep for a CD — and an evening of music — that celebrates their island homes. Their collaboration began when Peekeekoot first heard Keep playing at the Islands Folk Festival in 2010. Both are seasoned performers and have had successful solo careers in their own right but they shine as a duo, too. After a long creative gestation period, they are presenting their first collaborative CD, Âtayôhkan, a tour de force of gorgeous, deeply felt native flute and cello compositions. While Peekeekoot has lived on Vancouver Island since 1989, he maintains strong roots with the Âhtahkakoop Cree First Nation in Saskatchewan, where he was born. The title of this CD is a Plains Cree word, Âtayôhkan: ancient ones, who, their earth lessons completed, now work with the Creator. See LOCALS MAKE, Page 23

Help food bank serve 3,200 bowls of soup with fundraiser ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN 7296040

“Have you ever wondered where your next meal is coming from? There are many people in the Cowichan Valley who wake up every morning and ask this question,” reads a press release about an upcoming chance to have fun and donate to a good cause at the same time. Everyone is invited to take part in the Inter-denominational Foodbank Fun Run, Sunday, Nov. 22 from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Cowichan Secondary

School’s track. Billed as “fun for the whole family” people are invited to bring all generations and even a four-legged friend to take part in the Parade of Pooches. Penny the Owl will be there, and there will be face painting, a barbecue by the Duncan Rotarians and a photo opportunity with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Registration for the event is $10 each or $20 for a family pack. You can pay at the event or online at cvbs.ca. People are also encouraged to bring

a non-perishable food item to help feed the hungry. These donations are vital, said organizers in a press release. “Because of generous donations from the community, the food bank is a place where the hungry can be fed,” it reads. The Cowichan Basket Society in Duncan serves about 3,200 bowls of soup, 2,300 sandwiches and supplies 420 food hampers each month. The goal is to raise $4,000 and collect 500 non-perishable food items.

New government faces climate challenges and opportunities

ur new government appears to be taking climate change seriously. With the UN climate talks starting in Paris on Nov. 30, Canada can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases at home and helping others around the world do likewise. U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone XL oilsands pipeline reinforces the fact that we can’t continue burning fossil fuels

at current rates. Although Canada’s government is heading to Paris without a strong plan, it has indicated it’s ready to represent Canadians’ interests. One of the first encouraging signs is the new cabinet. In the reduced, 30-member cabinet, equally divided between women and men, the minister of environment’s title has been expanded to include climate

We agree with the Climate Action Network Canada that cutting carbon emissions by one-third within a decade, or 35 per cent below 1990 levels by 2025, would fit the bill, and that reductions should begin immediately with targets enshrined in law. The Foundation also believes the federal government must work with provinces to set a minimum standard for pricing carbon emissions, through carbon taxes, cap and trade or both, reaching at least $100 per tonne by 2020, and applying targeted regulations or standards where carbon price alone is not enough to meet emissions targets. We’d also like to see government move ahead with commitments to low-carbon infrastructure, including investment in public transportation, renewable energy and climate adaptation, as well as employing natural systems to reduce impacts. Energy-efficiency standards for vehicles and buildings are also essential, as is a commitment to support the UN Green Climate Fund for developing nations. We and other organizations will offer suggestions on a range of issues. See HOPE FOR, Page 27

Farm experience partnership a win-win for CGC, VIU Shovels, rakes, soil, and compost have started flying again with students from Vancouver Island University’s WEST (Workplace Essential Skills Training) program at the KinPark Youth Urban Farm located at Kinsmen Park on Alderlea St. in downtown Duncan. For the past three academic years at VIU, between 12 and 14 students in the WEST program have been walking over to Cowic-

han Green Community’s KinPark Youth Urban Farm on Thursday mornings to assist with the maintenance, growing, harvest, and beautification of the small-scale market gardens, greenhouse, and food forest. The WEST prog ram offers e m p l oy m e n t t r a i n i n g a n d skill-building to young adults in the region facing barriers to education and employment due to various disabilities.

“Our students discover their potential, know that they can contribute to the community they live in and leave each class believing in their own vision of themselves feeling that possibility is around the corner,” explained Deborah Provencher instructor of the WEST Program. “Our relationship with CCG is truly priceless.” The partnership is truly a winwin scenario.

“Not only do the students gain valuable employment skills at the park,” said farm supervisor Heather Kaye, “but we get an enormous amount of work done for the space allowing us to grow, tend and harvest a large amount of produce that is then used in CGC’s programming including our family cooking classes and youth canning enterprise.” Several of the WEST students have gone on to seek employment

and volunteer opportunities in the region after graduating from the two-year program. “We have witnessed many amazing transformations in the students as a result of this program,” added Kaye.

SCIENCE matters

Hope for progress in Paris at climate summit NEW GOVERNMENT, From Page 26 For us, these include species at risk and habitat protection, marine protected areas, environmental rights, natural capital evaluation and improved relations with indigenous peoples. We realize the new government faces numerous challenges and must deal with competing interests around falling oil prices, pipeline projects, missing and murdered aboriginal women, national security, international commitments regarding terrorism and more. It won’t be easy and they’ll have to hit the ground running. As leaders from Canada and the U.S. head to Paris with real commitments to address climate change, there’s hope for progress. This government seems open to engaging in conversations with Canadians from all walks of life and all parts of the country, and to accepting our global responsibilities. I wish them the best.

PREPARED Pipeline companies have a goal of zero incidents, however incidents do occur from time to time. Which is why we are prepared 24/7. Pipeline companies have stringent emergency response procedures, conduct regular inspections and work together for efficient incident response to protect Canadians and reduce impacts to the environment.

Myths & realities:

“Mom, they don’t murder girls” ▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

Co-hosted by the Cowichan Valley Naturalists Society, author Paula Wild head to the Cowichan campus of VIU to talk cougars on Wednesday, Nov. 18. Wild will read from her book The Cougar: Beautiful, Wild and Dangerous, starting at 7 p.m. in the lecture hall room 140. “Vancouver Island has the highest density of cougars, as well as the highest rate of attacks on humans,” reads a press release on the event. “And chances are, if you spend any amount of time in the woods, a cougar’s seen you while you’ve

November 11 is, of course, Remembrance Day, but the 11th month of the year is also notable for a number of other things — some serious, some not. Topaz is the gemstone of the month and the Chrysanthemum is the flower. It’s everything from Movember — marking a push for men to remember their health, to Adoption Awareness Month and on the nutty side, Fun with Fondue month. it’s also Model Railroad Month. The Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in November, and the organized often start their Christmas shopping, too. In 1755 an earthquake and tsunami struck in November in Lisbon, Portugal, killing between 10,000 and 100,000 people.

DALMIR DEBORAH BUMSTEAD 1920 - 2015

Dalmir Bumstead passed away peacefully on November 3rd 2015 at her home in Sunridge Place, Duncan at the age of 95. Dalmir was born in Empress Alberta May 5, 1920. She was the daughter of Melvin Reid Burritt 1898-1974 from Stratford Ontario, and Hannah (Annie) Burritt (Wolinsky) 1898 from New Haven Connecticut, US.

Dalmir was a charming spirit who delighted and charmed everyone she met. She had a wonderful sense of humour and sound wit. Dalmir served in the Royal Canadian Airforce in World War 2. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and leaves behind her two children, daughter Lynn John (Bumstead) and son Jeff Bumstead and three grandchildren Silas Bumstead, Arlyn John and Faron John. Dalmir married her husband Harold William Bumstead (1919) after the war and they settled in Lynn Valley and lived for many years in North Vancouver.

The family is very grateful for the wonderful care she received while at Sunridge.

DEATHS

Bill Chambers

January 23, 1935 - October 25, 2015 It is with a sad heart that we say farewell to my dear husband Bill, who went to his just reward on Sunday, October 25, 2015. Proud father of Bobbie Sue Chambers & Scott Chambers (deceased). Dear Grandpa to Mike, Tom and Stephen Scinocca. Dear Bumple to Kelli, Traci, Cheryl, Mitchell, Matt, Nicki, Sara, and Great Grandpa to McKenzie. Brother of Donald Chambers from Brentwood Bay, B.C., and sister Barbara Marriott of Niagara Falls, Ont. Born in Edinburg, Scotland on January 23, 1935, he came to Canada by steam ship as an infant, along with his twin brother Bob, and his Mother Peggy. Bill spent most of his life in management, and assorted other adventures. Car d t C Salesman, Realtor, News ad Salesman, Manager of Auto Part Sales. He was very proud to be a Mason (retired), and honoured their traditions. He loved anything to do with automobiles and totally rebuilt many vehicles including a 1926 Star, his pride and joy. Councilman, volunteer fireman, just to mention a few. A wonderful joyful man who loved and honoured his family, and friends. Friends were plentiful and he appreciated all of them fromâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Niagara Falls, Willoughby Township, Fort Erie, Toronto in Ontario, to Duncan, B.C. Always great at building and creating things & charming all of those he met. He was a fan of Rube Goldburge, making things work in the oddest ways sometimes. He had a very special relationship with his daughter Bobbie Sue and her sons. All his step-children also treasured him as he did them. We thank Dr. Lauren Jackson, for her continued care and support, and the wonderful nurses and all staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their dedicated caring of Bill during his final stay there. Thank you my Bill for all our wonderful life together. Celebration of Life for Bill will be on Saturday, November 21st at Duncan Travel Lodge y be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com. from 3 pm to 5 pm.

Marian loved to laugh. Her laugh and positive energy was contagious. Marian was never at a loss for an answer, her quick wit and mischievous ways always brought a smile to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces. Marian was very protective of her friends and family and truly loved them whole heartedly. Marian will be remembered for her kind-hearted generosity, her internal optimism and of course, her laugh. Marian is now reunited with her mother Kay, her brother Jasper Stephenson and her best friend Heather Johnson. Marian is forever loved and will be missed by her three children Tyrone, Amber and Sherry. She was survived by her father Archie, her sisters Anne, Marie and Helen and her brother Ross.

September 14, 1955 - November 6, 2015 Marian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Henryâ&#x20AC;? Lee Stephenson was born in High River, Alberta on September 14, 1955. She was the fifth child of Archie and Kay Stephenson. As a young girl Marian loved to bake and she made the lightest, fluffiest pastry and mouthwatering breads and buns. By the age of 5, she was making layered cakes and impressing her mom with every dessert she made. During her teens Marian was involved in the 4H Beef Club and had many trophies marking her accomplishments in that organization, including owning a grand champion steer twice. Marian had many talents and was very creative. Much like Marianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality, her stained-glass art added light and colour to any room. Many of her family and friends have relished her stained glass pieces. She was an adept seamstress who made a variety of garments for all types of occasions. When Marian was unable to find a wedding gown she liked, she sewed her own. Marian loved all holidays, especially Christmas. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have surprised some of us if she had a tree up and decorated shortly after Halloween. Marian loved to have a good time and enjoyed a good party. Marianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for plants and gardening was in her genes. As soon as weather permitted, Marian spent almost all of her free time in the yard transforming plots of earth into vibrant gardens. She was always determined to grow some of the most unique plants and always shared her abundance of garden produce.

Chargers win Island title in single-A volleyball

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan Christian School Chargers are off to the single-A boys provincial volleyball championships after taking the Island title in a three-team showdown at the DCS gym on Tuesday. Both the Chargers and the Chemainus Cougars swept their

opening matches over Campbell River Christian (25-11, 25-11, 25-16 and 25-11, 25-15, 25-19, respectively), setting up a winner-take-all battle in the last match of the round robin. The Chargers prevailed over the Cougars 25-12, 25-18, 25-16 in that contest. Adam Kapteyn of DCS was

named Island MVP, while his teammates Matt and Mike Brandsma were selected to the tournament all-star team along with Nathaniel White of Chemainus and Josiah Wickens of Campbell River. Next up for the Chargers is the provincial championship tournament in Abbotsford on Nov. 26-28.

Racing in the senior girls division even though she is only in Grade 10, Queen Margaret’s School student Madison Heisterman still managed to place sixth out of 218 runners at the B.C. High School Cross-Country Championships at Vancouver’s Jericho Beach Park last weekend. Heisterman completed the course in 17 minutes and 55 seconds, a minute and 14 seconds back of the first-place finisher. Not far behind Heisterman was Cowichan Secondary’s Desirae Ridenour, in eighth place with a time of 18:21. The average time in the senior girls race was 22:10. “Maddie Heisterman’s strong finish at provincials is not a surprise to anyone at QMS,” said the school’s athletic director, Marlene Donaldson. “We have witnessed her commitment to training and focused execution of race plans over the last few

years. As a Grade 10 athlete competing as a senior, she seems right on track to finishing her high school career with a bang. We are proud to call Maddie a QMS Royal.” In the junior girls race, Frances Kelsey runner Robin De Valk Zaiss finished 120th out of 200 runners with a time of 21:53.

Piggies set to honour 96/97 champs KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After a dominant 46-0 win over the Comox Kickers in exhibition action last weekend, the Cowichan Piggies are hoping to replicate the effort this Saturday when they play host to Castaway Wanderers while honouring a legendary Cowichan rugby side from 19 years ago. Comox showed up with just 13

players last Saturday, while the Piggies had their biggest turnout of the year with 28 on hand, including some making their first appearances of the season. James Patterson led the Cowichan onslaught with three tries. This weekend, with the 1996/97 Premier League champion Cowichan Piggies being inducted into the North Cowichan/Duncan Wall of Fame, the current edition

of the team is looking for a win over Castaways in a Times Cup fixture at Piggy Park. The First Division men will face off against Castaways at 1 p.m., immediately following the 11:30 a.m. game between the Premier women’s side and Burnaby Lake. A luncheon to honour the 1996/97 champs will take place after the First Division match.

The U15 Mid Island Lightning got out of the first half of their field lacrosse road game against Nanaimo last Saturday with a one-goal lead, then really pulled away in the second half as they won 10-4. Nanaimo opened the scoring midway through the first quarter, but the Lightning replied immediately with goals by Gavin Spencer and Kurtis Smith to take the lead. Two quick goals in the second quarter gave Nanaimo the lead once again, but it was short-lived as Jack Sanderson and Smith scored just 47 seconds apart to put their team ahead for good.

The Mid Island defence shut Nanaimo down in the third quarter, although the Lightning scored just once. The fourth quarter, however, was all Lightning, with five Mid Island goals to one for Nanaimo. When the dust settled, Denton Macdonald had three goals and Smith had two, while Spencer, Sanderson, Caleb Nordstrom, Griffin Fielden-Diaczuk and Nathan Clark had one each. Macdonald, Spencer, Clark and Dawson Webb each had assists. The Lightning will be on the Mainland this weekend for the Richmond Roadrunner Romp Tournament. They play doubleheaders at the Cowichan Sportsplex on Nov. 21 and 22.

Nicholas Young played well on both the offensive and defensive lines. He made some good tackles.” Although the Bulldogs have yet to win a game this season, Williams is pleased with the players’ progress. “We’re making huge strides from where we were at the start of the year,” he said. “Our focus now is on getting 100 per cent effort on every play, from every player. Don’t forget, we’ve got a bunch of 14-year-old kids — we’ve got one 15-year-old — and they’re learning what it takes to go from junior bantam to bantam.” AFD The junior bantams will play their last home game of the season this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. when they play host to Iron Mountain at McAdam Park.

The injuries piled up throughout the lineup, with Amish Dobson and Scotty Kennedy going to the sidelines in the first quarter. “We struggled defensively to make tackles to bring down the ball carrier,” Williams said. “Comox was able to move the ball with their running game and short quick passes. We had a lot of guys sucking it up and playing ironman football, grinding it out.” Malcolm Barr ended up leading the Cowichan defence with four tackles and four assists, while Derion Hughes had three tackles and two assists and one tipped ball that was nearly a pick-six. James Dennis-Orr also had two tackles, three assists and a fumble recovery. Kain Melchior had one and a half sacks, and Joseph had the other half sack. Melchior also rushed for 67 yards on offence. The Timbermen will hit the road again this weekend to visit the North Surrey Bears.

Autumn Classic a hit once again KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Three CeeVacs finish first marathon in Victoria, three more complete hot race in Chicago KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Three CeeVacs runners — Brenda Niziol, Sharon Horsburgh and Ken DeEll — ran their first marathon (42.2 km) at the Goodlife Fitness Marathon in Victoria last month, joined in action by marathon veterans Margaret Symon, Laura and James Griffin. The CeeVacs were also well represented in the concurrent half marathon by Jill Ramstead, Teresa Lewis-Schneider, Ben Marrs, Kelly Schellenberg, Michelle Peters, Colleen Vander-

heide, Wendy Marshall, Wendy Williams and Danna Hadden. Another CeeVacs runner, Josh Williams, ran the 8k road race. Several CeeVacs members also volunteered with the race or stood at various locations along the course to cheer on runners. On the same day as the Victoria Marathon, CeeVacs runners Catherine Macey, Lisa de Lusignan, and Glenn Goodwin, ran the Chicago Marathon on a hot day. “Just completing a marathon under this condition is a major accomplishment,” DeEll said.

Nearly 400 runners signed up for the CeeVacs Autumn Classic late last month, enjoying a midfall run — either a half marathon or 10k — through the Glenora countryside, starting and finishing at Vignetti Zanatta vineyard. “It went very well,” race director David Vanderlinde said. “We had beautiful weather. It was cooperative this year.” In the race’s second year in Glenora, the course was altered slightly after it turned out one of the roads they used last year was a private road. The changes included taking out the Lee Road hill. “All the people I spoke to were glad we made those changes,” Vanderlinde said. “The course we have now will be the course we use going forward.” Chris Gailey of Ottawa was the top finisher in the half marathon, with a time of one hour, 20 minutes and 48 seconds. Claire Morgan of Victoria was the top female finisher and second overall in 1:26:56. Two Cowichan Valley residents got into the top 10: Jenny White of Duncan was ninth in 1:37:27, and Jessica Knowles of Lake Cowichan was 10th in 1:40:35. The top time in the 10k went to Dusty Spiller of Duncan at 36:48. Sarah Kelly was third overall and the top female finisher at

Runners set out on the Autumn Classic course. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] 39:04. Other Valley runners in the top 10 included Shawnigan Lake School’s Angus Brown, second overall at 38:00; Duncan’s Cory and Ramstead, fourth and fifth overall at 41:35 and 41:38, respectively; and Shawnigan’s J.T. Pellram and Ben Heck, seventh and eighth at 43:20 and 43:31, respectively. Vanderlinde was surprised by the fast times recorded. “The combination of road and trail makes for challenges for anyone who is trying to get a good time,” he said. “About a third of the course is on the Trans Canada Trail, but not the most repaired part of the Trans Canada Trail. It’s kind of a no-man’s land.” The perks offered by the

Au t u m n C l a s s i c i n cl u d e d “well-received” free wine tastings from Vignetti Zanatta and a hot lunch including chili and squash soup prepared by Pioneer House chef Matt Hamilton. Vanderlinde expressed his thanks to the residents of Glenora and trail-users for their patience, and to event sponsors including Frontrunners Nanaimo, Mill Bay Thrifty Foods, and Longevity John Falkner of the Duncan Showroom, as well as the 70-plus volunteers from the club. The CeeVacs made donations of $1,800 to KidSport Cowichan and $250 to Glenora Farm, who manned a water station and provided musical entertainment along the route.

There’s no admission fee. Just present your driver’s licence to get a bidder number and a run list or cars available that day. The run list cites any CarProof damage information or known problems (e.g. check engine, tranny). You can look over vehicles inside and out, but can’t test drive them. When up for bid, vehicles are driven into the indoor auction lane so you can hear them starting and running. The winning bidder pays a $500 deposit and has until Monday afternoon to complete the transaction. All vehicles being run through the auction will have undergone a full safety inspection and will be available for immediate purchase. Final selling prices of all vehicles sold between 10:30 am and 11:30 am November 14th, 2015 will include documentation and any applicable environmental levies. Final prices are plus applicable provincial and federal sales tax. $89.00 starting bids will be available on select units, for example stock number 15269B. Please contact dealer for more details or pre-register at www.islandford.ca. At time of advertisement, all vehicles were available for sale. The list of auction vehicles is subject to change without notice before the auction starts.
