Police trying to ID man posing as officer SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

After having exhausted other leads, police are turning to the public in the hopes of identifying a man believed to have impersonated a police officer.

The request stems from a “disturbing” incident that happened about 6 p.m. on Sept. 26.

It was then that a Duncan woman was approached in her driveway by a man sporting what looked to be a police uniform: a yellow stripe on the trousers, shoulder flash on a long sleeved grey shirt, and a gun belt.

He was not wearing body armour, or a name tag and did not have a radio with him but had driven up in a black, fourdoor car with tinted windows that looked similar to a police vehicle in terms of make and model.

“He drove into her driveway and began to make inquiries as if he was conducting an investigation,” according to a press

Median barriers could have prevented fatality: fire chief SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

A fatal crash on the Malahat Wednesday morning, just north of Aspen Road, has again prompted calls for increased safety on

the highway that links Victoria to the rest of Vancouver Island.

Malahat Fire Chief Rob Patterson said his crews were called out at 6:48 a.m.

Patterson said it’s his belief a

northbound red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck crossed the centre line in the early morning hours, striking a black Mazda.

release issued by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday.

“This is very disturbing, to hear that a person is out there pretending to be a police officer,” Hobday said.

Police said the man made inappropriate comments to the homeowner about her appearance and asked her personal questions.

The man left when he was told there were other people inside the home.

Hobday said the man’s actions didn’t jive with police protocol.

“This is not the way we conduct ourselves when making neighbourhood inquiries regarding an ongoing investigation,” said the release, explaining what a real officer would do. “We identify ourselves, offer our business card to the person we are speaking to, and have a radio and other identifying pieces of equipment.

Shawnigan water warning called off SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Barristers Solicitors Notaries Public Mediation Services www.jsg.bc.ca

MEDIAN, From Page 1 The driver of the Mazda, a 33-year-old Saanich man, died at the scene as a result of the nearhead-on collision.

A blue Hyundai hatchback was also unable to escape the crash.

Three people were transported to hospital with varying injuries.

“From what the police are releasing so far, it seems like speed and road conditions are both major contributing factors to the crash,” Patterson said.

The fire chief said “there’s not a question in my mind that it [a median barrier] would have 100 per cent prevented the fatality.

It would not have stopped the accident. But it’s going to keep that truck from crossing over and that gentleman would have been going to work again today.”

The province has thus far spent $33 million since 2001 on median barriers, covering about 50 per cent of the 18-kilometre highway.

Patterson said it’s not enough.

“There’s tons of work left to do. They haven’t finished what they’ve already said they’ve completed,” Patterson said. “I’ve asked for emergency crossover spots for my trucks to be able to cross over to the other side of the highway so if we need to move traffic away and around we’re not blocking the highway.”

He said there’s always plans in place for improvements.

“I’m the guy who’s got to scrape the bodies off the road, pry the cars apart and look at people dying.”

ROB PATTERSON, Malahat fire chief

“Every time there’s a major event, somebody’s always touting some plans ‘yes we’ve got something in place’. But it took eight more bodies and five years to get phase one and phase two done.”

What irks him is the lack of consultation with first responders.

“I’m the guy who’s got to scrape the bodies off the road, pry the cars apart and look at people dying,” he said. “We should have a bit of a say in some of the stuff anyway.”

Angry that this latest fatality had to happen, as he was hoping to finish off the year without a major incident, Patterson said unfortunately it will happen again.

“Hopefully we can complete the year without another one.”

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has told the Times Colonist more barriers are on the way.

“My hope would be that we would be able to move forward with the installation of more barriers certainly within the next year. The vast majority of

Speed, road conditions factors what’s left on the Malahat we think is a good candidate for median barrier, and we’re going to put median barrier down as fast as we can.”

The highway was closed until just after noon Wednesday. The closure effectively cut ties with Victoria for up-Island residents as the Mill Bay-Brentwood Bay ferry was out of service for the morning due to mechanical issues.

Stone said that alternative option can’t be relied on to move the quantity of vehicles that routinely travel the route.

“Keep in mind, though, that it only carries 22 vehicles,” Stone told the Times Colonist. “There’s 22,000 vehicles on average that go through the Malahat every single day.”

The Pacific Marine Circle Route — the only other detour option, had been hit hard the day before by a storm, leaving parts of it difficult to navigate.

Wednesday happened to be National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims.

The no-water-use advisory for the South end of Shawnigan Lake was lifted Tuesday afternoon.

Island Health said in a press release that Ministry of Environment lab tests confirm there is no risk to the public’s health.

“This incident may not have put people at risk, but does highlight the importance of protecting both public and private drinking water sources,” Island Health Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Hasselback said.

The advisory applied to the south end of Shawnigan Lake, south of Butler Avenue on the west side of the lake and south of Verlon Road to the east and while nobody technically has a licence to take water from the lake for drinking water in that area, it may happen.

“For people who draw lake water for private residence drinking purposes, like some residents on Shawnigan Lake, it is important that they have proper treatment processes in place,” Hasselback said.

The advisory was issued on Friday after an apparent breach of surface water from the South Island Aggregates work site on

Stebbings Road. Island Health confirmed “a second incident of water overflow occurred at the site,” earlier in the day Tuesday but results of those tests were also found to pose no threat.

“Additional testing is underway to help inform future possible events,” said the press release.

A backgrounder noted Ministry officials took their samples from three spots: the location of the excursion of surface water off the South Island Aggregates property, the treatment facility discharge, and the creek close to the mouth of the lake.

“Final test results received on Tuesday, Nov. 17 show that there was no risk to the public’s health had water been consumed or used,” said the backgrounder.

Residents have been protesting South Island Aggregates for the better part of two weeks as the company accepts a large shipment of sulphur-laden soil from Port Moody.

Excessive rain caused runoff from the site, increasing fears about the safety of the water supply for the area’s 12,000 residents.

South Island Aggregates principals Marty Block and Mike Kelly declined to speak with the Citizen.

ID sought for hit and run driver SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Kettle campaign needs volunteers

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Volunteers are still being sought for the Salvation Army’s 2015 Christmas Kettle Campaign in the Cowichan Valley, which gets underway Friday.

“We are looking for lots of volunteers,” said local kettle coordinator Don Bazinet. “We have 658 shifts to fill.”

As of Nov. 9, there were still nearly 400 shifts left vacant.

Shifts are two hours at a time, and don’t require much more than just watching the kettles and saying hello to passersby. All the setup and takedown is taken care of.

The national kettle campaign is now in its 125th year of collecting donations from the public to help Canadians living in poverty. Salvation Army branches in 400 communities across Canada have set the goal of raising $21 million this year.

The money is used to provide individuals and families with food, clothing and shelter, and for

programs like substance abuse recovery, housing support, job and skills training, and budgeting and education classes.

“The Salvation Army has provided hope and dignity for more than 130 years through the generosity of our donors and volunteers,” said Major Les Marshall, Territorial Public Relations and Development Secretary. “Hosted at more than 2,000 locations across Canada, the annual Christmas Kettle Campaign is the organization’s largest fundraising drive of the year and would not be possible without the thousands of kettle workers who volunteer their time.”

Every penny raised in the Cowichan Valley will stay in the Cowichan Valley, Bazinet pointed out.

Kettles will be located at several locations throughout the Cowichan Valley. The Duncan Thrifty Foods store jump-started the campaign with the donation of $500.

“We are very, very happy and appreciative,” Bazinet said.

The suspects fled after being yelled at. Two male teens were located and arrested by two citizens, who held the suspects until police arrived. The youths were found to have items taken from unlocked vehicles in the area.

The youths are well known to police and were later released to guardians with strict conditions and facing pending charges of theft and mischief.

One of them was found in breach of conditions.

Police have identified a silver/ champagne mini van driven by an elderly driver as possibly being a suspect in the case of a cyclist hit while riding along the Trans Canada Highway near the Save-On-Foods Saturday afternoon.

Daniel Deener, 60, was headed south when struck by a northbound vehicle which had been turning left into the grocery store parking lot. He has been released from hospital and is recovering slowly from a back injury.

Earlier this week Deener expressed his dismay that passersby, who admittedly showed a significant amount of concern for his wellbeing, did not comply with his request to get the information of the

ver/champagne mini van driven by an elderly driver in video footage, as a possible suspect,” said North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday.

The licence plate is not visible in the video, however.

Those with information about this incident are encouraged to contact the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

To maintain anonymity, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Meanwhile, ICBC recommends drivers put their phones and other electronic devices down while driving and be on the lookout for cyclists and pedestrians — particularly when turning near intersections and bus stops.

Give yourself extra time and space in the event a sudden stop is required.

OUR VIEW

Time for some extra caution on the roads

I

t still feels weird to be driving home from work in the dark.

Though we’ve had a couple of weeks to adjust to the end of Daylight Savings Time it is sometimes still a shock to get out of work and see the stars overhead.

We also haven’t had to really adjust yet to winter weather.

We can count on one hand the number of times we’ve had to scrape the frost off the car in the morning.

We’ve experienced a couple of storms now, but the thermometer has stayed decidedly on the mild side.

The rain, though, after this summer’s long drought, is still something to which we’re re-acclimating.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that last month was the warmest October on record.

It was the eighth month this year to record a historic overall high, with only January and April bucking the trend.

That’s alarming when we consider climate change.

But it has also, it seems, left us rather unprepared for winter driving.

We’re not entirely sure why

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

it seems the population forgets how to safely drive through the elements when we don’t have to for a few months, but it behoves us all to give ourselves a little primer.

The crash that closed down the Malahat for much of Wednesday is at least partly being blamed on black ice.

It’s an abrupt and sad reminder of our mortality on the road in our speeding metal boxes.

Sometimes a crash is unavoidable. But there are things that we can do to give ourselves more of a safety cushion out there.

And the more people doing those things the safer it is for everyone.

First and foremost, slow down.

Speed limits are set for optimal conditions — not in the dark, or on a road that has frozen overnight, or where water is pooling and catching your tires.

If you don’t know if it has frozen or not, some extra caution just in case never hurt anyone.

Second, leave appropriate stopping space between yourself and the car in front of you so that if they get into trouble, you don’t have to follow. Your hurry is never that important.

CWAV has requests for new MP MacGregor Dear Mr. MacGregor: Congratulations on your recent election win! This November is the 24th anniversary of the international campaign 16 days of Activism against Gender Violence with Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action being Dec. 6. We would like to invite you to come to our Dec. 6 vigil to pay respect to all the women who have lost their lives to gender-based violence.

Additionally, we would like to invite you to advocate for ending violence against women as the following from Statistics Canada show that more improvements are needed: • While Canada had been

seeing a decline in spousal violence, the 2004 and 2009 General Social Survey on Victimization showed this progress has stalled with six per cent of Canadians continuing to self-report being victims of spousal violence in the last five years • Over 6,000 women and children escape domestic violence to sleep in an emergency shelter every night, with 200 women being turned away nightly due to shelters being full • Only 10 per cent of women report sexual abuse to police While we are pleased that the government will be taking action by doing a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women, Cowichan Women Against Violence Society would like the Canadian

government to do more to stop violence against women.

The next cycle of the General Social Survey on Victimization is set to be released soon. We would appreciate you monitoring results and bringing findings to the attention of the House.

Violence against women needs immediate attention and increased funding from the influential powers of the federal government. Will you advocate for this? We look forward to hearing your response on this.

Thank you for your time and commitment to ending violence against women.

The Social Action Committee Cowichan Women Against Violence Society

Do you ever wonder why many people of normal intelligence continue to question the science of climate change?

If you do, you need to watch Merchants of Doubt which is now available on Netflix.

Do you wonder who those people in the media are, who deny and profess to be experts on climate change?

Do you want to find out if they really are experts on climate (or anything else) and more importantly, learn what motivates them and where their money comes from?

Then you should look them up on the Desmog Blog Denier Data Base at www.desmogblog.com/ global-warming-denier-database Do you wonder what real scientists with above normal intelligence really think about climate change?

Then you must visit the NASA climate change website at http:// climate.nasa.gov/ And you might wonder, what if all those real scientists are right, as they were about the earth being round, smoking causing cancer, acid rain, and ozone depletion etc.

Which could lead you to wonder what you can do about it? If so, The David Suzuki Foundation, 350.org, Sierra Club, Council of Canadians, local Green Community, Carbon Busters, Transition and stewardship groups, all offer hope and guidance and they all need your help. So stop wondering already!

And don’t allow the fact that we are all part of the problem stand in the way of becoming part of the solution.

A LNG plant in any populated area is insane. In a sheltered area like the Saanich inlet is just absurd.

I heard no opposition based on a worst case scenario: an explosion at such a plant. A floating bomb is what it amounts to!

Think of the consequences of an explosion: the force of a blast would reflect off the Malahat Mountain and all the properties in Brentwood Bay region would be wiped off the surface of the earth. Thousands would die.

Refer to the Halifax explosion.

I don’t care how many safety measures would be in place, there’s always something missed and that’s the weak link.

In addition, there simply isn’t adequate infrastructure to support such a project; the Malahat highway is already too congested and would prevent evacuation in the event of a disaster.

Government continues to fail forest workers I wish to add to the executive director of the Ancient Forest Alliance, Ken Wu’s explanation that the B.C. Liberals took the sawmills away from the workers.

It was the Government of British Columbia, under the NDP, that removed Clause 7 from the Ministry of Forests documents.

This Clause 7 tied the tree farm licences to the local sawmills, like Tree Farm License 46 which was tied to the Youbou Sawmill.

Youbou Sawmill closed down in 2001. So, the NDP was responsible for the initial mess.

When the Liberals became the government, they did nothing to correct the situation and instead increased the amount of raw logs for export. They are the second government to fail the forestry workers, thereby exporting jobs out of B.C. and precipitating the closures of many sawmills. With this present Liberal government and their trashing of emails, I doubt getting any records about what happened to Clause 7 would be possible.

Opinion

Crofton treated like second-class citizen To: North Cowichan mayor and council: The Crofton Seniors’ Society, its executive and its members wish to express our deep disappointment, sadness and concern over the decision made in October, by all but one NC council member, to take monies designated for improvements to Crofton and reassign them to beautify Willow Street in Chemainus. Crofton must now wait until sometime in 2016, if then, for infrastructure improvements. While this decision was legal, do council members really think it was ethical?

We wonder how many other Crofton citizens feel like our great little community has become a municipal orphan.

The local government, whose salaries we help to pay, seems to have chewed us up and spat us out; cast us into a second class citizenship category.

Should we now consider contacting the Union of BC Municipalities to see if some other local government would be happy to adopt us?

Last spring a presentation was made to this same NC council on behalf of our Seniors Society, pointing out that

Crofton is not an age friendly community.

Crofton lacks essential sidewalks on Adelaide/Smith streets, an area much used by seniors in scooters or on foot, and by families walking with young children or pushing baby strollers. A potential accident waiting to happen?

This was only one example presented of areas where Crofton needs improvements.

Council listened. They even applauded. Then they did nothing. Could it be that even last spring Crofton was thought of as last on the municipality’s list? Would this be because Crofton has no resident representative on council?

Over a period of two years (2013-2015) a committee of local citizens worked closely with a NC planner and a con-

Pharmacists are often asked what “works” to prevent or shorten the duration of colds. Zinc lozenges taken every two hours may help shorten a cold but not prevent it. They shouldn’t be taken for more than one week. Hand-washing many times a day will reduce your exposure to cold viruses and is always recommended.

Long term studies on aging found that signs of body deterioration can be seen as early as age 26.

But how quickly we age is dependent only 20% on our genes which means we can control how fast we age by taking better care of ourselves. Keeping active, getting enough sleep, watching what we eat and getting regular medical checkups all contribute to a slower aging process.

Are you a “lark” (early riser) or an “owl” (later to bed)? Neither has an advantage over the other.

The key here is the number of hours of sleep you get. If you have a 9-5 job, it’s good to be a lark but it’s not as good for owls. Seven hours of sleep daily is a great aid to better health.

If you are going on a winter holiday, remember to bring enough of your prescribed medication with you.

Broken bones were involved in about 20% of the injuries. High-heeled shoes are looked upon as stylish but risky from a health point of view.

sultant to come up with ideas, ways and means of improving and growing Crofton over the next 30 years. Open houses were held so that all Croftonites could contribute to a final local area plan. Councillors and NC staff attended these open houses. Will this plan ever come into reality or will it be postponed again and again because other areas of North Cowichan are deemed more worthy? Is council trying to give us an inferiority complex?

If so, it won’t work because we who live in Crofton, know that our community is a great place to live.

Should we put out feelers to Duncan or Ladysmith to see if either one would like to adopt a wonderful, small community that would be a great asset to them? Or will North Cowichan come to its senses and realize what a treasure they could lose if they continue to push Crofton aside?

◆ LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Blame voters for upgrades The prime minister’s residence in Ottawa is in need of repairs. The old prime minister said that $10 million was needed in order to put the residence into first class tip top shape. He said no, and that ongoing repairs would be made 7265383

when necessary. The $10 million is more appropriate for taxpayer services.

Now the new prime minister will not move into the residence and has decided to spend the $10 million to put the residence into first class tip top shape, as he will operate government with deficit budgets, making the government pay more money in interest payments.

No one can blame him for his decision as the blame goes towards the majority of taxpayers that voted for him.

We A composite sketch of a man believed to be impersonating a police officer in the Duncan area on Sept. 26. Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect. [SUBMITTED]

Woman able to describe man “We do not know what this man’s intentions were but we fear it may have been to gain access into this woman’s home and harm her,” said Hobday.

Police encourage citizens to be diligent when identifying someone before giving out personal information or allowing them into their homes.

The suspect is a Caucasian man believed to be between the ages of 30 and 40. He was

clean shaven and had short dark hair at the time and stands about six feet tall and weighs in at about 230 pounds.

The woman approached was able to describe the suspect to a composite artist and that rendering has been released to the public in the hopes somebody might be able to identify him.

Those who recognize the man should contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477) to maintain anonymity.

The astonishing sports legacy of the Cowichan Valley was celebrated once again last Saturday with five more inductions into the North Cowichan/ Duncan Sports Wall of Fame.

Slo-pitch and fastpitch coach Gerry Rees, para-equestrian pioneer Jane James, field hockey Olympian Melanie (Slade) Brancato, basketball star Neil Dirom and the 1996/97 provincial champion Cowichan Piggies were awarded their rightful places in the sports pantheon.

Gerry Rees grew up as an athlete in Wales, playing rugby, cricket and tennis, and played for the Cowichan Rugby Football Club after his arrival in Canada, earning a tryout with the BC Lions because of his impressive kicking abilities.

He tried out softball on a whim, playing his first game

gloveless, as a cricketer would, beginning a four-decade legacy in the sport.

He started coaching fastpitch, then got into slo-pitch, after his fastpitch team dominated a slopitch tournament in Crofton.

He coached the Village Green, Silver Bullets, Meridian Foods and Oak & Carriage Pub teams.

His teams won provincial titles in 1992, 1993 and 1997, and a national title in 1994. In 1990, his Silver Bullets team won 106 games and lost only five.

With his background in rugby, Rees made an effort to bring that sport’s sense of family to slo-pitch, which begat much of the success. Rees was also an umpire for more than 30 years, including 12 as chief umpire, and president of the Cowichan slo-pitch league for 16.

He was also instrumental in getting the Cowichan Sportsplex built, and served on the

board of directors for six years.

Much of that was because it was hard to find a suitable field for ball.

“The fields in Duncan were just terrible,” Rees recalled.

Neil Dirom

Inductees come from slo-pitch, para-equestrian, field hockey, basketball and rugby ANOTHER FIVE, From Page 14 Closer to home, James founded the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association at Providence Farm in 1986. She was named the Coach of the Year by the BC Disability Association in 1996, and received the same honour from Horse Council BC in 2004.

In 2012, she was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, and has also been awarded the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award.

Melanie (Slade) Brancato graduated from Cowichan Secondary School in 1984 and went on to play for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds from 1984 to 1989, serving as captain in her final two years.

Over those five years, she helped UBC to the national university championships four times, and was a tournament all-star three

times, in addition to being a Canada West first-team all-star and All-Canadian three times. She was UBC’s female athlete of the year twice and was inducted into the school’s sports hall of fame in 2006.

At the same time, Brancato spent four years with the national team and played at the 1988 Olympics. When her playing career ended, she became an assistant coach and helped UBC win national gold in 1990, silver in 1991, and bronze in 1989 and 1993.

Brancato was humbled to be recognized by the community she came from.

“I’ve had the opportunity to travel and play a lot of different places, but this is special because it’s here,” she said. “I’ve had the privilege of being honoured at UBC and nationally, but this is really special.”

She didn’t accomplish everything on her own, she pointed out.

“It’s a weird feeling as an athlete from a team sport, to be acknowledged individually,” she said. “You can’t be successful unless the people around you are really good.”

Coming from a family that had already established itself as the nucleus of basketball in the Cowichan Valley by the time he started playing the sport at an organized level in 1952, Neil Dirom went from the Duncan Basketball League to the Cowichan High School team to the Alberni Athletics senior men’s team. In 1958, he was recruited to play for the Washington State University Cougars.

Fo l l ow i n g h i s u n ive rs i t y career, Dirom joined the Canadian national team for 1962/63 and played in the Pan American

Games and World Games, as well as tournaments in Manila and Puerto Rico. Returning to Alberni, he helped the IGA Grocers win three consecutive national senior men’s titles in the ’60s.

He went back to Washington State in 1968 as an assistant coach with the Cougars freshman team, and coached several high school college and senior teams in B.C. after that.

Like Brancato, sports took Dirom away — Dirom was away from Duncan from 1958 to 1995 — but he was honoured to be acknowledged in his home community.

“All my success in basketball came away from Duncan, but I came up through the system here,” he said. “The Dirom family has deep roots in basketball, so it was quite obvious I was going to play basketball.”

The 1996/97 Cowichan Rugby

Football Club Piggies became the first team from outside Greater Vancouver or Victoria to win the Rounsefell Cup as provincial First Division champions, a competition that has been contested since 1922. Tries by Chad Smyth, Ian Dunn and Trevor Harrison and the kicking of Dave Grisdale gave the Piggies a 29-12 win over Burnaby Lake in the final.

Coached by Tony Medina, the Piggies defeated James Bay 27-6 in the Vancouver Island championship game to qualify for the provincial final. Second row veterans Marius Felix and Gregor Dixon led the team in a defensive performance for the ages that included a 10-minute defensive stand within five metres of the Piggies own goal line.

All five 2015 inductees will have plaques added to the Wall of Fame, located in the lobby of the Cowichan Aquatic Centre.

We must give nod to Rights of the Child Day “Therefore the greatest danger to our society is the concept that young people are irresponsible, stupid, cannot think and are incapable of building the future that the present adults must live in. Well, you better have faith in our offspring for it is their world that we [adults] will have to live in. Adults have not given us much to boast about in human development.”

JENNIFER BLYTH OAK BAY NEWS

For Canada and the world to be truly successful, we must recognize the inherent rights of children to have a say in their lives from a young age, suggests an Island man urging Canadians to declare Nov. 20 Rights of the Child Day. “Graduated steps into democratic self-reliance must begin at birth and not be one giant leap at the age of majority,” says John McDonald, a former school teacher and school trustee now living in Duncan.

The initiative would recognize the anniversary of the United Nations’ adoption of Declaration of the Rights of the Child and raise awareness of the important, comprehensive document, creating potentially far-reaching effects.

“If kids knew what their rights are and what they’re not, it would be a better world. They would understand democracy,” he said.

The initiative’s roots date back to 1924, and the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child, followed by the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the child adopted by the United Nations.

Fast-forward to Nov. 20, 1989, and the Declaration of the Rights of the child was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations and ratified in

November marks CPR Awareness Month in Canada, and St. John Ambulance (British Columbia and Yukon) encourages everyone to learn CPR. CPR, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, is a critical life support skill for use in emergency situations where a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally.

Artificial respiration provides oxygen to the lungs, while artificial circulation causes blood to flow through the body.

When the heart stops, brain damage can occur after just four minutes. After 12 minutes, the chance of survival drops to about five per cent.

health care and the opportunity to participate in the social, economic and religious life of their culture, free from discrimination.

Essential to the initiative is introducing democracy at a young age as a way of raising democratically minded adults.

“You can’t raise minors with no say into their lives,” McDonald says.

“We can’t raise our kids in an undemocratic household and school system then send them out on their own and say, ‘Now you need to live in a democracy,’” McDonald argues, suggesting that if children are going to learn about democracy, it needs to begin when they’re young.

People — including children — have a strong tendency to do and be what is expected of them, he says.

“Therefore the greatest danger to our society is the concept that young people are irresponsible, stupid, cannot think and are incapable of building the future that the present adults must live in. Well, you better have faith in our offspring for it is their world that we [adults] will have to live in,” he says, adding,“adults have not given us much to boast about in human development. Is it time to include children in future planning? Make Nov. 20 the Rights of the Child Day.”

JOHN MCDONALD, child rights advocate

Canada several years later.

McDonald broadly categorizes the Rights of the Child under three main headings: • The Right to Survival — through the provision of adequate food, shelter, clean water and primary health care; • The Right to Protection — from abuse, neglect and exploitation, including the right to special protection in times of war; • The Right to Develop — in a safe environment, through the provision of formal education, constructive play, advanced

◆ COMING UP IN COWICHAN

Workshop to address violence against women In response to the levels of relationship abuse and/or violence against women and young girls in the Cowichan Valley Warmland Women’s Support Services Society are hosting a social action workshop on Dec. 9 from 8 a.m. to noon in support of 16 Days of Activism.

T he 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global campaign calling for the

elimination of all forms of violence against women, running from Nov. 25 to Dec. 10.

People are invited to enjoy a breakfast and engage in dialogue about the community’s role in addressing gender-based violence. Registration for the event is $10, but organizers will gratefully accept donations of further funds to help cover expenses.

“As a community our individual and collective voice has power,” said organizers in a press release.

“How we talk to each other and

when we talk to each other about violence against women has a direct and dramatic impact.”

Girl Guides rallying in Cowichan Saturday Girl Guides of Canada – Water’s Edge District is holding their second annual Revel Rally on Saturday Nov. 21, at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds at Mellor Hall from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Approximately 200 girls and guiders aged five to 105 years old

The Revel Rally theme is “Waters Edge Revel Rally Goes Kaboom!” and provides the opportunity for a district bridging activity for all levels of Guiding from Sparks to Trefoil to come together to learn, experience and have fun.

Many activities have been planned for the day such as belly dancing, singing, Zumba

or hip hop, crafts and science experiments.

Christmas market times two in Shawnigan Lake Shawnigan Christmas markets are scheduled for Nov. 21, Dec. 5 and 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Legion Hall at 1625 Shawnigan Mill Bay Rd.

Winter is coming to British Columbia, and as temperatures across the province start to drop, the BC SPCA is encouraging people who are thinking about adopting a furry family member to consider cats, and turn brrrs into purrs during its upcoming adoption event.

From Nov, 20-30, all adult cat adoption fees are 50 per cent off. The half-price promotion is presented by Hill’s Science Diet.

“It’s cold outside.

We’re reminding British Columbians that when one cat is adopted, it frees up shelter space and allows us to bring another cat in from the frigid winter conditions experienced in much of the province,” said Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA. “The society takes in several thousands of cats each year — right now, there’s more than 1,400 felines in BC SPCA care who need loving, forever homes.”

Homeless cats are a major issue in B.C., often suffering from injury, illness, predator attacks and frostbite. Illegal abandonment and animals who aren’t spayed or neutered contribute to the problem, as well as cats without identification like a microchip or a tattoo, who are never reunited with their guardians.

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, any necessary medical care, and internal and external parasite treatment. Adoption counselling and matching takes place to ensure animals go to a good home.

Ladysmith getting ready for huge light-up The Ladysmith Festival of Lights Society is celebrating the 28th anniversary this year of Light-Up night on Thursday, Nov. 26.

“The hillside community of Ladysmith transforms into a magical place of thousands upon thousands of sparkling and twinkling lights as we prepare for the 2015 holiday season,” said event coordinator Dianne Edwards in a press release.

Those thousands and thousands of lights also draw thousands and

“In 1987, Bill Fitzpatrick first considered the concept of stringing a few lights on local business buildings to draw some attention to the approaching holiday season. He could never have imagined how his small idea has now become a yearly event for over 20,000 visitors,” the press release reads.

ADOPTION Month

Adoption no fairy tale, but it can be rewarding MOM HEATHER, adoptive parent

MINISTRY OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT

7265392

When Duncan’s 17-year-old Jade thinks about her 2004 adoption, she remembers her nearly sixyear-old self being relatively unfazed.

The little girl loved watching Disney movies and assumed her adoption would be like one of the grand adventures played out on the silver screen. At the time, Jade and her three-year-old brother, Evan, had spent the majority of their young lives in British Columbia’s foster care system and their new mom, Heather, made the decision to adopt the siblings through the Ministry of Children and Family Development as a single parent.

“I had some people in my social circle who had adopted through the ministry,” Heather recalls.

“I also thought I had the skills to parent children who might not have had the easiest beginnings — there were so many kids out there who needed homes and families.”

While Heather had worked for years with children with special needs, making the transition to parenting around the clock with her own kids proved challenging. It took both children and their mom time to adjust to their new family.

“I initially called her ‘new mommy’ and then Heather,” says Jade. “It was about two months before I began to call her mom. Evan embraced change faster than I did. I was around 11 when I fully accepted that Heather was my mom.”

Heather and Jade caution people considering adoption not to subscribe to the notions of a picture perfect Disney fantasy. An articulate, intelligent and introspective young woman who is described by her mom as playful, Jade says trauma experienced early in her life has impacted her ability to make emotional connections.

And, like many adopted children, Jade also wonders what could have happened had her birth parents been able to care for her.

“I was given a new chance in life — a bridge to new physical, metaphorical, mental and emotional places that I might not have otherwise experienced. However, people also need to recognize and respect that building a family through adoption is built on the loss of a child’s birth family,” says Jade. “Many adopted kids feel divided loyalties and are torn between two completely different families.”

Her mom, Heather, agrees, urging prospective adoptive parents to do their homework prior to adopting.

“Love is so important but it isn’t enough.

You must also understand the implications of trauma and loss and be able to open your heart to the birth family as well as the children you are adopting,” she says. “Speak about adoption and birth families openly with your kids in a way that is unbiased and holds the birth families up, because that’s where these kids come from.”

As a non-aboriginal adoptive parent of aboriginal children, Heather has always honoured Jade and Evan’s heritage by ex p o s i n g t h e m a s much as possible to their bir th family,

“It takes time to build bonds, develop attachments, and create your own family culture. It doesn’t happen overnight,” she explains. “Older kids may only have a small amount of life experience, but your life hasn’t been part of their experience yet.”

Each adoptive family is different

Kris Kringle Craft Market

ADOPTION, From Page 25 Through their adoption journey, Heather, Jade and Evan have learned, and bonded and grown together as a family.

It’s an experience that Heather describes as entirely their own.

“Adoption is such a subjective experience; you really can’t compare one family to another,” she says.

“I consider myself incredibly lucky. As with any family there have been challenges, but I have two amazing, healthy kids.”

Every child deserves a place at the family table.

Our Community Needs a New Hospital The current Cowichan District Hospital facility opened in 1967. Since then, our community has grown significantly - making it dramatically different than it was 48 years ago. With an increased population, the demand for health care services has also escalated. It is now imperative that the hospital facility be replaced to properly accommodate the current and future health care needs of Cowichan Valley residents.

Now, more than ever, it is important to demonstrate our community’s ability to come together in support of this important project. Together, we can make a new, exceptional hospital a reality!

We’re all for a healthy community.

Foodbank Fun Run aims to help fill Society shelves LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Temple kept up vigourous lifestyle to the end REMOTE, From Page 28 Palmerston “kept up his shooting, rode to Harrow and back (Hertfordshire) in the rain when nearly [77] to lay a foundation stone; on his [80th] birthday was on horseback nearly all day inspecting forts...and less than four months before his death, went down to his constituency [Newton, Island of Wight] and won a contested election.”

He died within two days of his 81st

birthday. With no male heir his peerage died with him; he’s interred in Westminster Abbey. Capt. George Richards, RN, named Cape Palmerston in 1862.

In a roundabout way Canadians have Lord Palmerston to thank for CFB Esquimalt, he having been in favour of its establishment as a British naval base when serving as foreign minister in the 1840s. www.twpaterson.com

exponentially more benefits to residents.

Healthy street trees can lengthen the lifespan of built infrastructure like roads and sidewalks by shading them and reducing effects of weathering, and they provide significant human health benefits.

This summer, using data from Toronto, David Suzuki Foundation Ontario director Faisal Moola and his academic colleagues found that adding 10 trees to a block can produce health benefits equivalent to a $10,000 salary raise or being seven years younger.

Despite their enor mous value to society, urban forest canopies are stressed and in decline in many parts of the country. Hot, dry summers and increasingly frequent and extreme storms are wreaking havoc on city trees. Urban development, invasive species like the emerald ash borer and other threats have also reduced growing space and killed millions of trees.

Unfortunately, urban forest stewardship varies widely across the country.

Few municipalities have the necessary financial resources to manage and protect their urban forests in the face of growing and diverse threats.

That would facilitate setting minimum provincial standards for maintenance of critical green infrastructure and would improve management practices. We have provincial standards for grey infrastructure such as roads, so why not for green infrastructure?

It’s also important to make living, green infrastructure a crucial component of provincial and federal climate change strategies. Urban forests contribute greatly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide in tree biomass, understory vegetation and soils.

the Daily News Check out our expanded coverage in the Daily News FOR 141 YEARS, the Daily News has been the most-trusted news source in the Mid-Island region. For generations, readers have been informed, educated and entertained by this publication. We are now expanding that coverage of the news that is important to you and are sampling your neighbourhood to give you a look at what’s inside.

– Elena Dally

My wife and I subscribed to the Nanaimo Daily News for a few years some time ago. We stopped subscribing due the fact the paper (in it’s previous format) was cumbersome to read, and to be honest, the journalists were not that great. Now that it is in a Tab format it is much easier to read and the stories are well placed in proper sections.

I even enjoy reading the advertisements as again they are colourful and easy to find. We also like reading the sports section – especially Marc Weber’s soccer column.

Now the paper is filled with national, international stories plus good local coverage.

I knew once I saw the Tab format that I would be back as a subscriber. Keep up the good work!

ERICKSON, Ruth M.

December 17, 1917 – November 12, 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our much loved mother in the early morning of November 12, 2015 with her daughters by her side. She is survived and will be greatly missed by her daughters Carole Daem (Wayne Wheeler) and Vicki Harknett, her grandchildren Leanne, Tracey, Jenny, Bobbi and Rick, 9 great-grandchildren and 5 greatgreat-grandchildren. She will also be missed and fondly remembered by Wayne and his family.

The family would like to thank the staff at The Meadows for their kindnesses to Mum and Dr. Lauren Jackson for her compassion and visits.

No service or flowers at Mom’s request but if you wish, a random act of kindness in her memory would make her smile.

Online condolences mayy be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com.

Nelson, Elmer March 10, 1933 – September 29, 2015 Elmer passed away peacefully in his sleep at Cairnsmore Place in Duncan where he had lived since 2011.

Before that, Elmer had lived in Chemainus for over 50 years.

Most of that time, he took care of his sister Tena who passed away in 2007.

Elmer also cared for three siblings who lived on the family farm at Mount Nebo, Saskatchewan.

Elmer worked at the Chemainus Mill while farming a large farm in Saskatchewan for many years. His acts of kindness and care to both family and friends were excellent.

There will be a memorial service in the Cowichan Meeting room at the Best Western Plus - Chemainus Inn at 9573 Chemainus Road at 10:00 am on November 24, 2015

Your memory we treasure.

Loving you always, Forgetting you never.

We miss you more than words can say, You’re in our dreams and thoughts each day.

Deep in our hearts your memory is kept.

We love and cherish and never forget.

Forever in our hearts We miss and love you.

In Loving Memory of

Pauline James January 23, 1922 to November 25, 2010

Memory A life can last a long time, Yet end in a second, A cake can take a whole day, Yet disappear in a minute, A house could take a whole year, And burn in an hour, Every memory is delicate like a freshly planted flower, Things disappear but memories are forever, Nobody can take them from you, never, Something that you treasure might be lost and you can’t find, But you will always have it stored in a special part of your mind. ‌ poem written by Taylor for Baba

We love and miss you, Your loving family

In loving memory Lorna P. Salmon 1948-1992 You’re always in my world You show up everyday In people, in pictures, in music In the most amazing ways I miss your smile and your laugh Rubbing my back when I’m in bed Although you’re not here to hug You’re in my heart and my head They say that it gets easier And in some way it does Not as many days of sadness Many more fond memories of love I love and miss you.

Love always, your devoted son Dan

A.J. Kambere races through an opening late in Cowichan’s 8-1 win over Westcastle. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

LMG answers back with eight STILL FIRST: Nelson

scores four to tie team record KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan LMG may not have scored the first goal in their Vancouver Island Soccer League match against Westcastle last Friday, but they made sure to score all the rest of them as they rolled to an 8-1 victory.

Westcastle opened the scoring eight minutes in with a nice individual effort by Jon Shah on a counterattack while Cowichan was dominating play in the Westcastle end.

“That kind of woke us up,” Cowichan head coach Glen Martin said.

Paddy Nelson scored the next two goals for Cowichan, and Cooper Barry added another. Nelson had a chance to complete his hat

trick in the first half, but missed a penalty shot in the 44th minute, his first miss since joining Cowichan in 2014.

Missed penalty shots aside, Cowichan was dominating play and took a 3-1 lead into halftime.

“I was feeling good about how we were playing overall,” Martin said.

The Cowichan barrage continued in the second half as Nelson scored twice and Josh Cuthbert, Mason Chang and Andres Algarin each had one goal.

With his four goals, Nelson now has 15 on the season, tying Ryan Andre’s team record from two years ago for the most in one season, with eight league games remaining.

“He’s on fire right now,” Martin said. “Hopefully he can carry that over to Comox this weekend.”

Barry sits second in Div. 1 scoring with 11 goals, while Cuthbert is in a three-way tie for third with

six goals. The team has scored 42 goals in 10 games, while surrendering just five, both numbers by far the best in the division.

Cowichan remains in first place, with a six-point lead on second-place Comox and a seven-point lead on the three teams who are tied for third. Cowichan will travel to Comox this weekend for a huge match. Cowichan and Comox played to a scoreless draw when they met at Sherman Road earlier this season, and a 2-2 tie in Comox last year.

“It’s a big challenge for us,” Mar tin said. “That’s good, because we need one. We need to be prepared to play.”

With a win, Cowichan could increase their lead over the rest of the league to as much as nine points, while Comox could drop from second to fifth with a loss.

“It’s probably our most important game to date,” Martin said.

“It’s a really big game for both teams.”

Premier side shows true abilities in big win KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

When Cowichan’s senior women’s rugby team beat Burnaby Lake 33-12 last Saturday, it wasn’t just sweet revenge for a 47-0 loss to the same team a week earlier. It was also, according to former Cowichan Rugby Football Club president John James, the most significant win by any home team at Piggy Park in several years.

The Cowichan women’s side has returned to the B.C. Premier League this season, and after a shorthanded squad lost the season opener at Burnaby, they showed their true form in the win last weekend.

“The team that started the game this past weekend was a premier team,” Cowichan captain Sherry Spence said. “It’s very exciting to get our first win at the elite level.”

It wasn’t easy, but Cowichan had the personnel to beat Burnaby this time around.

“Burnaby had a very strong scrum; the forwards had to really dig in so the ball could get out,” Spence said. “Our defence at the try line was amazing.

Every single person put their body on the line.”

Jenna Bugden scored two tries, while Laura Russell, Brittney Brown and Carolyn Gudmundseth had one each.

Michelle Moore kicked four conversions.

Russell was picked as Player of the Game by the BC Rugby Union and named forward of the game by the Burnaby players, who selected Bugden as back of the game.

Everyone who got on the field contributed to the victory.

“The players that subbed on stepped up huge to keep us in the game,” Spence said. “It’s such an awesome feeling knowing there’s talented players on the bench.”

The team will be back in action at home this Saturday, hosting Westshore at 11:30 a.m.

The U13 Mid Island Lightning won gold in their division at the sixth annual Richmond Roadrunner Romp field lacrosse tournament last weekend, while the U15 Lightning played to silver in their division.

The U13 Lightning got off to a slow start out of the gate in their opening game, falling behind North Shore by three goals at halftime, but they rallied to salvage a 4-4 tie. Building on that comeback, they went on to beat Pacific Rim 8-5 and Vancouver 9-6 to finish first in the round robin as the only undefeated team in their pool.

Another sluggish start in the semifinal put Mid Island down 2-0 in the first quarter against the Victoria Titans, but they turned that around and won 10-3. They were even stronger in

the tournament final against the Kelowna Kodiaks, romping to a 10-2 victory.

Game MVPs for the Lightning in Richmond were Devyn Zunti, Connor Loch-Labelle, Joshua Wong, Ethan Owen and Brandon Carlson.

The U15 Lightning sailed through the round robin, beating Delta 11-1, Coquitlam 12-5 and Ridge Meadows 2 13-2. They dumped Richmond 12-5 in the semifinals, then played Kamloops in the final, losing a close battle 13-8.

“Every player on the team contributed to the score with either a goal or an assist,” team manager Paula Harris noted. “It was a true team effort for the silver medal win.”

Goalie Keegan Smith, Gavin Spencer, Jazzy Shafi, Jack Sanderson and Sam Baxter were the game MVPs.

Piggies shut down Castaways KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Piggies continued their run of absolutely dominant defence last Saturday with a 37-0 drubbing of Castaway Wanderers.

“The theme of the last four games has been a really good defensive ef for t from the whole team,” head coach Gord McGeachy said. “Castaways is a pretty good squad, so to keep them scoreless required a commendable effort by everyone.”

The Piggies were under pressure early on, and ended up on the wrong side of some penalty calls. Finally, around the 15-minute mark, the Piggies got their hands on the ball, found their way into the Castaways end and were awarded a penalty which led to a try by Bruce Moss.

“That seemed to loosen things up,” McGeachy said. “We got going from there.”

Five minutes later, more hard work by the forwards led to a try

by Kieran Lauridsen, and anoth-

er five minutes after that, Ryan Spooner added another try that was converted by Jenner Teufel.

The Piggies held a 17-0 lead at halftime and carried their momentum into the second half.

Not long after play resumed, Peter Budina kicked the ball down the field and outran the Castaways defence to score.

Cody Milne and Matt Melgaard added tries of their own before Mike Rea closed out the scoring.

“Eighty minutes of scoreless defence is a really good indicator of hard work and a good level of fitness,” McGeachy said.

“We were winning the physical battle, but our organization was great; pretty much to a man we had the defensive space locked up tight.”

The Piggies will play their final Times Cup league game this Saturday at home against Westshore at 1 p.m.

A win in that game should give Cowichan home-field advantage in the first round of the Times Cup playoffs.

Receiver Kilion VennRyan gains some late-game yards for the Bulldogs last Sunday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Williams said. “Being this is Week 11 in the season and our ninth game, we made errors that normally happen in the beginning of the season.”

The T-Men got off to a strong start, forcing a fumble on the opening series that they recovered. Although they didn’t score, they pinned the Bears deep in their own end, setting up a pick-six by Derion Hughes that gave Cowichan a 6-0 lead.

North Surrey answered back and led 7-6 at halftime.

The Bears did all the scoring in the second half, but Cowichan got a highlight-reel play from Kain Melchior who ran 50 yards from the 30 to the 30, breaking three tackles.

The T-Men managed to get to the six-yard line, but couldn’t punch the ball in.

“I was very proud of the effort that the boys put into this game,” Williams said. “They held their own against the No. 1 team. If we had the couple missing guys playing, the outcome

could have been very different.”

James Dennis-Orr led the defence with two tackles, five assists and one fumble recovery. Wyatt Faickney had two tackles, one assist and one sack while also filling in on the offensive line, and Lucas Grosse took a leadership role and stepped up his game.

Mitchell Gudgeon had five catches on offence, including two on third and long. Malcolm Barr had some hard-fought runs up the middle, and Brad Stadel and Amish Dobson had some carries at running back.

The Timbermen will wrap up the 2015 season this Sunday at home against Victoria at McAdam Park at 1:30 p.m.

“With a sunny weekend forecast, I am asking for everyone to come down and support us in the last game of the 50th year of Cowichan football,” Williams said. “I would like all alumni to come out once more and help recognize the graduating seniors.”

Although the game got away from them, the bantam Cowichan Bulldogs never gave up during their 48-6 loss to Iron Mountain at Cowichan Secondary School after McAdam Park was closed due to wet field conditions.

“As a team, I’m impressed with our ability to keep on playing and keep on fighting despite the fact that we’re giving up big plays,” head coach Mike Williams said. “We’ve got to learn how to tackle safely and effectively. Right now, we still have a lot of arm tackles; we’re not putting our shoulders into the tackle.”

The Cowichan defence has suffered in recent weeks as roster changes have forced the team to move players around. Williams believes that will change as the Bulldogs approach the end of the season.

“I think this week will be better because they will have had one more week at their positions,” he said.

On offence, Evan Kwasny looked good at tailback and scored the Bulldogs’ lone touchdown on an off tackle.

“We’ve still got to learn how to run passing plays effectively,” the coach said. “[Quarterback Carson Maertz] has a good arm.

The receivers have to trust that he will get them the ball.”

Already eliminated from the Vancouver Mainland Football League playoffs, the Bulldogs will play their final game of the season this Sunday when they travel to Vancouver to face the Westside Warriors.

The midget Cowichan Timbermen were plagued by errors as they lost 35-7 on the road against the North Surrey Bears.

“We made too many mistakes this weekend,” head coach Opie

He will make his way along Duncan, Government and Canada Avenue before heading west on Station then north on Craig – watch and listen for the music and dancers that will lead the jolly fellow to City Square.

This year the elves have been busy giving Santa’s area a makeover. He will still be in his regular spot

by City Hall, but under a bright new red tent with a few other new touches as well, which will make your photos with him even better. Santa selfie anyone?
