Teens terrorize trick-or-treating duo in Maple Bay SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Smoke, steam and a badly damaged home are all that are left of a Boys Road residence Thursday afternoon, Oct. 31 following a blaze that sent a plume of smoke into the air that was visible across Duncan. Firefighters from North Cowichan’s South End hall were also called out later that night for blaze at Herons Road. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Two ﬁres damage mobile home, townhouses KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

North Cowichan South End volunteer firefighters were kept busy around Halloween with a pair of structure fires that blazed up just hours apart. At 4 p.m. on Thursday, the fire department was called to a blaze in a mobile home on Boys Road, east of the Trans Canada Highway. About a dozen firefighters were

on scene for an hour, confining the flames to the trailer and knocking them down quickly. Fire Chief Rob McDowell wasn’t sure what caused the fire, but individuals at the scene said one person had been sleeping inside the trailer and woke to see the smoke and flames, but managed to get out without injury. Around 2 a.m. the following morning, the same fire department

was summoned to Herons Road, off Lane Road, where flames had erupted in a block of three townhouses. “One house had the roof burned off over the kitchen, and another lost the roof over the master bedroom,” McDowell related. About 16 firefighters were on hand for the morning blaze, and stayed at the scene for approximately two hours.

“Bullying at its worst” is how a Maple Bay mother is describing her child’s terrifying Halloween night experience. Maple Bay resident Shawna Cadieux says it all began when her 12-year-old son and his 11year-old friend, clad in their brightly coloured costumes, headed to the top of the Properties to meet up with her husband and younger child for some trickor-treating fun. “About 30 minutes after the boys left our house, I received a frantic phone call from a stranger’s home — it was my son calling to tell me that he and his friend had been chased and threatened with bodily harm by a group of uncostumed older teens,” Cadieux related. She said the duo had been trickor-treating their way along Chippewa Road when they noticed a group of 20-odd older kids following them. “They tried to ignore the large group, but the teens began swearing at them, threatening to beat them up and steal their candy,” Cadieux explained. Terrified, the younger boys took off but were chased by the mob, which at that point began throwing lit firecrackers at them.

The boys sought refuge at a home on Haida Road and asked to use the phone to call Cadieux. W h i l e t h e yo u n g e r k i d s were inside, the older teens remained nearby — destroying carved pumpkins in the neighbourhood. Shortly thereafter, Cadieux’s husband picked up the boys. While walking they encountered a large, uncostumed group of youth. “He confronted them, but they denied terrorizing the boys. My son, however, shared later that he and his friend were certain it was the same group that had chased them,” Cadieux said. The whole incident has not just ruined the trick-or-treating experience for a pair of young boys, but it’s made a mother furious and wondering if people know what their kids were up to that night. “It’s just so unfair that such nice kids who were so excited about trick-or-treating alone for the first time had to go through something so awful. Makes my blood boil,” Cadieux said, before asking parents to check in with their kids. “If your teenage son was See My child • page 5

Aerial rescue for cat stuck up in tree ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Mayor Jon Lefebure

Crofton invited to help create future plan SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The Municipality of North Cowichan is preparing to join forces with the public to begin work on a new Crofton community plan — one that will set a course for the seaside village moving forward. “Crofton has a strong sense of community and we need to build on this strength to help create a future vision for Crofton,” said Mayor Jon Lefebure in a press release. North Cowichan staffers have already begun work with an advisory group but what’s really needed for what will be a comprehensive plan, is input from a larger crosssection of the community — folks like residents, visitors, business owners, landowners, and other stakeholders. One part of a multi-faceted community engagement process will include the posting of two “sounding boards” in Crofton hotspots, enabling passersby to leave their suggestions and concerns. Another is a series of open houses to share ideas face to face. The first open house is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Crofton Community Centre. A presentation on the background to the planning process and baseline work will be held at 7 p.m. that evening. “We invite input from the community — including young and old — to continue to contribute to their neighbourhood and capitalize on its beautiful setting, making it a great place for those of all ages to live, work and play,” Lefebure said. The main thing residents need to know is the plan will establish a vision, goals and objectives and an implementation process for Crofton for the next 30 years, and it’s much easier to have their voices heard now than their complaints addressed long after the plan has been created. Lefebure noted the new Crofton community plan will “help flesh out the strategic policies” identified in the municipality’s Official Community Plan and will try to incorporate the work done in the Climate Action and Energy Plan.

When Whiskey first climbed way up into an everg reen behind her house on Heron’s Way in Duncan, owners Carmen Brown and Brent Zimmer thought she’d come down on her own. Four days later, her distressed meows still sounded from where she was stuck, suspended on a branch dozens of metres in the air. The owners tried calling the SPCA and the fire department in hopes of a rescue, but these organizations did not have the equipment needed to attempt to get the cat down. Finally, after four nights out in the cold with Halloween fireworks adding to her fear, Whiskey’s saviours came, in the form of Aerial Tree Service. Climber Ken Bohun donned his gear and made the challenging climb, while a scared Whiskey scaled higher as he disturbed her perch, while a family member of Brown waited anxiously on the ground, hoping for good news. Finally, Bohun reached the frightened feline. “She’s real calm,” he called from high in the foliage. He was able to grab the cat and deposit her neatly into a cage, which was then lowered to the ground. A neighbour came out during the operation and expressed relief that Whiskey was finally coming down, as she, too, had called around for several days trying to find someone to get the cat down. “We get lots of calls and usually they come down,” said Denise Trudeau of Aerial Tree Service. “So we’ve rescued about four of them in the last year.”

Aerial Tree Service climber Ken Bohun holds Whiskey, safe and sound and back on the ground. For more photos and video of the rescue, scan this image with the Layar app on your smart phone or go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com [ANDREA RONDEAU/CITIZEN]

Food bank trick-or-treater inspires SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

One Queen of Angels student, two proud parents, and three hours going door-to-door has resulted in four big boxes of food for the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. “It went well,” Joelle Kato-Koch said of her Halloween night exploits. “It was fun.” The 13-year-old went trick-ortreating in the Heron’s Wood area but said “no” to candy and “yes” to non-perishables on Oct. 31. Joelle became inspired when attending We Day in Vancouver earlier in the month. We Day can be summed up simply as a massive movement encouraging youth to think beyond just themselves. Proud Momma, Leanne KatoKoch confirmed her daughter raised upwards of $100 in cash in addition to four boxes of food for the food bank. “The community was really responsive,” Leanne said. While some who hadn’t heard the story were left scrambling (and scramble they did!) others, were waiting for Joelle’s arrival. Leanne recalled one house Joelle was going to skip because the lights were out.

[SUBMITTED] “A man came outside and said ‘I have stuff!’ and Joelle said ‘I’m not getting candy’ and he said ‘I know!’” He’d been keeping an eye out for her so he could help her cause. “The first three houses were kind of confused and then after that everyone started to recognize me,” Joelle explained. “Some

people who were following behind me were congratulating me and one lady said I inspired her daughter too.” At one point Joelle’s load was so heavy her hand started cramping. She dropped off what she’d collected at the car and headed back out. The eighth-grader collected donations for three solid hours, all told. “We had to do one battery change because she started to deflate,” Leanne related. Wearing a bright, lime-green blimp costume, the six-foot-tall teen was hard to miss — just like her effor ts to help the community. Already a youth volunteer at the hospital, she hopes to continue on with her community service by signing on at the food bank as well. “She’s always been socially attuned and wanting to help,” Leanne said.

Vandals smash antisoil dumping sign SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Livid isn’t a strong enough term to describe Shelagh BellIrving’s mood these days. Within five hours of her posting a four-by-eight foot sign on her Shawnigan Lake property this weekend, her $285 investment was destroyed by a giant rock. The placard declared outright opposition to South Island Aggregates’ plan to dump contaminated soil in the Shawnigan watershed. Bell-Irving firmly believes the “pro-dump” camp is responsible for the destruction of her sign. “I’ve been fighting this contaminated soil issue from the

moment I found out about it,” she said. “I put the sign in a spot where people could pull in with their car and sit from the comfort of their car and read what’s going to be in the soil being trucked into Shawnigan,” she explained. The vandals would have had to pull in, get out of their car, walk over and throw the rock. “This wasn’t just a drive-by. It was intentional,” she said. Bell-Irving doesn’t think mischievous youth or other unconnected vandals are just seizing the opportunity to do damage and have the fingers pointed elsewhere. “Obviously it’s pro-dump people,” she said. “It’s somebody very angry with me trying to put the information out there. Obviously it’s somebody that does not want me educating people and that’s all I’m doing. I’m just trying to educate people so they know what’s trucking into their community.” If the permit is upheld, BellIrving said she’d be 100 years old when the last load of contaminated soil was dumped. “Oh my gosh, we’re talking 50 years of toxic stuff coming from all over,” she said. “We’re talking a lifetime. It needs to stop and I will not be silenced.” Bell-Irving has opened a file with the RCMP.

Mountie’s lawyer argues against jail time in shooting

roaming around on Halloween night in the Maple Bay area, please consider what he might have been up to.” Cadieux pointed to the mob mentality and worries about its prevalence in today’s society. “Kids who never take a stand or feel marginalized or left out tend to follow the leader, often with negative consequences,” she said. She shuddered to think about what would have happened had one of the firecrackers set one of the boys’ costumes ablaze. “This was bullying at its worst,” she said. “My child and his friend were traumatized — plain and simple. Neither boy slept much that night, still anxiously pon-

A jail sentence would be disastrous for RCMP Const. David Pompeo, defence lawyer Ravi Hira said Friday as Pompeo’s sentencing hearing continued in Duncan. The Crown has asked provincial court Judge Josiah Wood to send Pompeo to jail for between 18 months and two years for his aggravated-assault conviction in the shooting of William Gillespie in September 2009. Pompeo shot Gillespie, who was unarmed, during a routine traffic stop. Pompeo was serving with the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment at the time, but has since transferred to Nanaimo. Hira said a discharge would be appropriate, and if not that, then a suspended sentence or a substantial fine. “He would almost certainly lose his job,” the lawyer said. “He would be unable to provide for his young family, and couldn’t earn an income.” Law enforcement officers don’t fare well in jail, he noted. “The effect of incarceration on police officers is especially harsh,” said Hira. “He or she will be segregated, and spend 23 hours a day confined to their cell.” With approximately one guard for every 50 prisoners, guards have no way to protect police officers, he

William Gillespie, above, was shot by RCMP Const. David Pompeo in September of 2009. Sentencing will resume Nov. 19. [CITIZEN FILE] said. Pompeo was a highly trained member of the RCMP prior to the shooting, including service with the Island Emergency Response Team, in which he was the only medic. Since the shooting, he has continued to take additional training, including further instruction in use of force and stress management. “Not only is he continuing to work the best he can, but he has kept himself trained,” said Hira. On Thursday, Crown prosecutor Carmen Rogers said Pompeo’s sentence should take into account the significant physical, emotion-

al and financial impact the events had on the victim. “It’s only by luck [Gillespie] was not killed,” Rogers said. Rogers argued that Pompeo abused a position of trust and authority when he shot Gillespie, but Hira said that was not the case. “A breach of trust by a police officer usually entails an act of deliberate conduct, knowing it is wrong,” he said. Pompeo, he said, believed he was acting according to his training. The case has been adjourned to Nov. 19 to fix a date for the judge’s decision.

OUR VIEW

Parents need to know what their kid is doing hat were your teens up to on Halloween? Are you sure you know, or are you just counting on the fact that you believe them to be good kids? It’s an important question to ponder, particularly if you’re a parent of a teen in the Properties area of Maple Bay and your kid went out without your supervision, perhaps to hang with some buddies. A group of about 20 teens — none of them in costume, so they obviously weren’t trick-ortreating — threatened and bullied two younger kids who were

out knocking on doors. The victims were forced to seek shelter in a stranger’s home, while the teens threw lit firecrackers at them — something that is extremely dangerous, not to mention assault — and destroyed carved pumpkins in the neighbourhood. Happy Halloween. The tendency can be to stick your head in the sand. It can’t possibly be your kid, right? But there are about 20 sets of parents out there who do, in fact, have a teen who participated in this terrible act.

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

They’re probably not all bad kids. Even good kids can behave in a reprehensible manner when they encounter peer pressure and mob mentality. It takes just one instigator, sometimes, and they all follow. It’s up to the area’s parents to figure out if their teen was indeed part of the group, and to dole out an appropriate punishment if they were. We think some apologies are certainly in order as well. There’s also a lesson here for parents to heed. Don’t just send your teen out on

Halloween night into the dark, charged atmosphere and figure they’re not going to get into any trouble. Those smashed pumpkins and egged cars you see the next day as you head to work were smashed and egged by someone. It isn’t likely that it was someone who drove to your neighbourhood to become a vandal, either. Closing your eyes and ears and chanting la, la, la, la rather than acknowledging that it was likely your kid, or kids that you know, who did it doesn’t help anything — not even your teen.

Because smashing and egging things isn’t okay. Threatening younger trick-ortreaters and tossing lit firecrackers at them from the smug safety of a mob certainly isn’t okay. We’ve even heard of parents buying the firecrackers and eggs for their kids, in an effort to be their pal. But you are their parent, not their pal, and it’s your job to teach them appropriate behaviour and back up those teachings when a line is crossed. So we hope parents really do talk to their kids, ask some questions, and stop this behaviour.

Better air elsewhere? Move there Ms. Jennifer Lawson wrote a touching lament on the bonfires of autumn and the pervasive aroma of smoke from wood stoves, and wonders why we are willing to “tolerate unbreathable air.” After all, she concludes, “this does not happen in other parts of Canada.” While I was born here on the Island I have lived in other, less rural, parts of Canada myself. May I suggest to Ms. Lawson that if she finds the air in Regina or Calgary more breathable she can always move there. It is the height of arrogance to move to paradise and immediately start telling the angels how to live

The driver had to stop because we were not moving for him. We were honouring and respecting the young people who had shed blood while trying to make a safe world for all of us. We let him by after the moment of silence was over.

I hope that person was embarrassed enough to remember that moment this year. I also hope that this year unlike the other 25 or so years my family and I have stood in silence or in prayer or hymn, that this year the people who are trying to get somewhere around Cobble Hill village on Nov. 11 around 11 a.m. take a detour around the crowd at the cenotaph. There are at least three other routes available wherever they are going. Please take one of those routes and show some respect not only for the people in the crowd but for the untold numbers of those we are honouring. Jeff Broughton Cowichan Bay

Wow, the ecological benefits of logging! We are all familiar with the bad rap logging gets from the tree huggers. So who would have guessed that Save Echo Heights group would praising the after effects of dastardly logging? Echo Heights was logged in the early 1900s and to some extent up until 1939. While the area may be a scruffy collection of snags, swamp, second growth, rock outcrops and thick underbrush, we are told that it teams with biodiversity and contains a cornucopia of natural pharmaceuticals. The Heights may not sport stately groves of mature second growth trees as do many of the North Cowichan parks and recreational areas, however it is still considered by those fighting development of even 20 per cent of this “urban forest”, to possess “high recreational and tourist values”. Leveraging on their demonstrated ability to spot and document ecological enhancements induced by logging, the antidevelopment group could capture an up until now unclaimed niche in the environmental movement. To do so they only need approach provincial parks officials, citing the miracle of Chemainus, suggesting that in the long term, provincial parks could be brought up to Echo Heights standards by clear cut logging.

Opinion

Cowichan Valley Citizen | Wednesday, November 6, 2013

The cost of climate change Just last week, the North Cowichan Climate Change Advisory Committee asked their council not to proceed with a plan for housing development on 20 per cent of Echo Heights forest in Chemainus — opposing the recommendation from municipal planners. Council’s historical difficulty deciding whether to develop all or some of the Echo Heights forest, beyond the issue of preserving a scarce ecosystem, can be understood by asking one simple question: who profits and who pays the cost of economic damage caused by releasing greenhouse gases into our atmosphere? On the profit side, converting 20 per cent of forest to housing is an easy calculation. The municipality will get about $7 million by selling housing lots. This money could fund other worthy projects, or be used to lower taxes — both reasonable goals. But the economic costs of greenhouse gases released when you destroy a forest in order to expand urban sprawl is, to say the least, a more murky calculation. Let me try. The B.C. government presently charges municipalities a direct cost of $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide that exceeds their stated goal of carbon neutrality. Destroying 20 per cent of this forest will increase carbon emissions by about 1,000 tonnes per year, so this development would have a direct carbon emission cost of $25,000 ($25 x 1,000 tonnes). But importantly, indirect costs of carbon emissions are certainly much greater than this amount. For example, damage from Hurricane Sandy in New York last year was $70 billion and other costs keep piling up — flooding in Calgary, droughts in America’s farm belt, rising oceans destroying farmland in Bangladesh and on and on. We pay these costs indirectly through higher home insurance rates, international aid money to areas impacted by global warming, higher food prices and in ways

Peter Nix, Cowichan Carbon Buster not even recognized as a cost of climate change — like $10 million for new dikes on Beverly and Lakes Roads. From what I read, these costs could be 10 times the government’s price of $25 per tonne. Importantly, citizens of the world pay most of these costs, not citizens of North Cowichan. You don’t agree? Well, ask some homeowner in New York if climate change has a cost when he has seen his house value fell to near zero due to damage from flooding caused by unusual storms and rising ocean levels. This dilemma of obvious direct profits from development but less obvious costs from climate change is why individuals, and governments, are not acting more vigorously to reduce carbon emissions. That’s a pity — not because I am some eco-freak that opposes any and all development. But because ignoring impacts of climate change means that when a random massive storm eventually hits our community, the cost to North Cowichan citizens may be huge. As I write this, CBC news is reporting a “storm of the century” in England. Remember, overland flooding due to climate change is considered an act of God and so we can’t get home insurance to protect ourselves from that cost. The irony is that, really, insurance companies have got it wrong — carbon emissions are an act of humans. Peter Nix, Maple Bay Cowichan Carbon Buster

Al Kipp key in statue procurement

Publisher, Shirley Skolos

After reading your recent story on the city’s unveiling of the Confucius statue, it became clear that the city should provide additional details on the challenges faced when bringing a 7-foot statue from China, and how helpful a local business was in making this a reality. As reported, the Chow family donated funds to purchase a Confucius statue and requested that the city locate one for them. Staff spent considerable time investigating suppliers and a trade broker to clear customs. This is not an area the city has a lot of experience with, and it provided many challenges. After several months of contact with different Chinese suppliers, and various attempts to find a method of payment that provided some assurance to the city, the city abandoned this approach and then looked locally (B.C.) to attempt to locate a supplier. Some suppliers could make a statue, but at an amount that was more than the Chow’s contribution. Things were looking bleak until in October of 2012 the city began discussions with Al Kipp of Al’s Asian Treasures in Chemainus. Al had a contact in China who able to secure a statue of the desired style, and within budget. Al was a pleasure to work with, and was very accommodating when there was a slight defect that needed correcting upon delivery. Al’s Asian Treasures provided the city great assistance in securing this important piece of art that helps to recognize the contributions of the Chinese community in Duncan.

CROWD BROWSES BIGGER, BETTER LAKE LIBRARY

Area attractive for business, in spite of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ranking SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

It was hard not to recognize that the greater Duncan area was at the very bottom of the 2013 Communities in Boom report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), but the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic minds are far from sounding the alarm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placement as 107th, it has really come to our attention this year,â&#x20AC;? said Geoff Millar, Economic Development Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the rating has never been an issue in the past in terms of attractiveness of the area to newcomers and incoming business investment.â&#x20AC;? The Boom report was released on Oct. 21, the first day of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Business Week, and looks into the entrepreneurial profiles of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more urban areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the cities and regions that have at least a population of 25,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at it from an economic region area because small business owners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confine themselves to the municipal boundaries. They do business in a much wider area,â&#x20AC;? explained the reports author, Ted Mallett, CFIB vice-president and chief economist. That means for the purposes of the report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duncanâ&#x20AC;? includes The City of Duncan, District of North Cowichan, Electoral Areas D (Cowichan Bay) and E (Glenora) and six First Nations reserves surrounding Duncan and Cowichan Bay. That makes up just under half of the entire CVRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population of over 83,000 residents. Mallett said Duncan is in a hard spot but â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are towns with more challenges.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a higher cost component to doing business in Duncan relative to other towns,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commercial tax rate is higher and therefore it becomes a little more expensive to be able to operate business for people there. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the challenge.â&#x20AC;? Mallett said the goal of the report is to at least start the conversation about how entrepreneurship can be levered towards the ultimate growth and development of a municipality or a town. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a bigger challenge in this area as opposed to places like Ft. McMurray or Grande Prairie or Fort St. John, where massive oil or gas deposits nearby attract businesses, Mallett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as many selfemployed people on which to form a potential business growth over time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fewer of them to ultimately hire new employees and so on and so forth.â&#x20AC;? He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for people to feel optimistic and in tune with their local government if they want things to turn around.

Geoff Millar, EDC manager â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the number one thing is for local government to engage the local business community, right down to the smallest player, and find ways to make sure that everybody is speaking the same language, rowing in the same directionâ&#x20AC;Śit starts with dialogue,â&#x20AC;? Mallett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If more business owners can be saying that they feel their local governments are on their side then I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big start because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to unlock the potential for additional investment.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership is working on, Millar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall in the region, the spirit of entrepreneurship is very much alive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always room for improvement and everyone recognizes that, however, through collaboration amongst all partners and stakeholders, and a stated wish from local governments to see the climate and opportunities for business development to progress, the Cowichan region and specifically the central urban core area of the CVRD is an ideal area for entrepreneurial growth and development.â&#x20AC;?

NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONSIDER THIRD READING To: 1. 2.

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759 Applicable to Area B – Shawnigan Lake; AND South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 Applicable to Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat And Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill

As per Section 890(4) of the Local Government Act, the Cowichan Valley Regional District Board of Directors has reviewed Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759, and found them to be consistent with the policies of the South Cowichan Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3510. Therefore, a Public Hearing has been waived and the Board has directed that this Public Notice occur in its place. Bylaw No. 3520 received second reading, as amended, and Bylaw No. 3759 received first and second reading at the October 23, 2013 CVRD Special Board meeting. NOTICE is hereby given that the CVRD Board of Directors will consider reading a third time the above noted Bylaws at the regular Board meeting of November 13, 2013. 1. Shawnigan Lake Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759 would amend Shawnigan Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 985 (1986) by: 1. Introducing an increased floor area limit of 85 square metres (914 square feet) for small suites and secondary suites; 2. The following new zones are created: A-2ASmall Lot Agricultural (Special) – for the Island Daylily Farm site A-6Agricultural Institutional – for the Girl Guides Camp Creina RR-2Rural Residential 2 – for Goldstream Heights and Cougar Ridge area RR-4Rural Manufactured Home Park – for Burnham Manufactured Home Park RR-5Rural Manufactured Home Residential – for Shawnigan Station Subdivision R-4AVillage Manufactured Home Park Residential 4A – For Shawnigan Lake Mobile Home Park 3. The entire eastern portion of Shawnigan Village, presently zoned R-2 (and one parcel is A-2) will be rezoned to R-3. 4. Four parcels of land in the Burnham-Empress Road area will be rezoned from A-2 to R-2. 5. Three parcels of land in the Nora Place-Shawnigan Mill Bay Road area will be rezoned from R-1 to R-2. 6. New daycare regulations are introduced, which link the number of children permitted to the size of the parcel of land. 7. New home-based business regulations are introduced for the following new zones: A-2A, A-6, RR-2 and RR-5. 2. South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 will replace Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat Zoning Bylaw No. 2000 (adopted in 1999) and Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill Zoning Bylaw No. 1405 (adopted in 1992). The intent of Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 is to implement the 2011 South Cowichan Official Community Plan and provide a modern and robust land use bylaw for the future of the affected Electoral Areas. Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 would be one comprehensive Zoning Bylaw with common terms and conditions for the two Electoral Areas, and it would also maintain distinct regulations for each community. Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 divides the lands and water surfaces within Electoral Areas A and C into 68 different zones. These zones are classified under the following general land use categories: Agricultural, Rural Resource, Rural Residential and Recreational, Village Residential, Rural Comprehensive Development, Village Comprehensive Development, Rural Commercial, Village Commercial, Industrial, Parks/Institutional and Water. Regulations within each zone typically include a list of permitted uses, minimum parcel size for subdivision, density (typically the number of dwelling units permitted per parcel of land or dwelling units per hectare), setbacks for buildings and structures, maximum permitted building height, and the degree to which land may be covered by buildings and impervious surfaces. Some zones contain other regulations – for example, requiring a parcel to be connected to community water and sewer services. In addition to the specific regulations concerning each zone described in Zoning Bylaw No. 3520, there are general regulations that apply to all lands and water surfaces, related to land use, siting of buildings and structures, subdivision, off-street parking and off-street loading spaces. There is also a list of definitions, for terms commonly used within the Bylaw. Subject Property Location: Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 affects all lands in Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat and Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759 applies to some lands within the area on the map below, as described above.

Residents approve anti-Japanese resolution From page 10 invasion”. Dr. W.B. Clayton, acknowledging that his likely would be an unpopular opinion, counselled for “British justice”. Canada should not harm the “aged and infirm, the women and children who are not responsible for Japan’s attack”. Only those who were potentially dangerous should be “controlled.” He had faith in the RCMP to act as necessary, not public hysteria. “What have the local Japanese done?” he asked. “What are they accused of? If you think a Japanese is a danger to the country, go to the authorities, and they will act if necessary.” At which point Chairman F.A. Ashton had to ask for silence to allow Clayton to continue. Clayton said he didn’t condone the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour but he drew a parallel between Japanese Canadians and German Canadians who hadn’t been interned en masse because “they’re white”. He felt all enemy nationals should be treated equally. Ashton, who’d called the meeting, said he trusted the government to handle the issue appropriately by removing all Japanese from coastal communities for the duration. “While things go well with Japan, the Japanese here will be smug,” he said. But their actions could not be foretold and if the government didn’t act, “we must do it ourselves”. To applause, he declared, “Any loyal Canadian should refuse to employ Japanese nationals and men should refuse to work beside them. There will be no better opportunity to remedy their infiltration into industry here.” To which a self-identified “B.C. Pioneer” shouted that he and those like him had worked too hard to “have it sold for a bowl of rice”. He believed in justice, justice for all — but remove the men of military age from the coast immediately. A committee was struck of Davie, Ashton, R.J. Saunderson, P.H. Leighton, George Parlee and Capt. J.D. Groves, who then resolved: “Whereas a very dangerous condition now exists in the British Columbia coast region, owing to the presence of a large Japanese population, many settlements along the western and northwestern coasts and on the islands adjacent being almost exclusively Japanese; “And whereas many Japanese men, women and children are employed in the processing and packing of food supplies for domestic consumption and the Empire forces; “And whereas a large Japanese population centres on the lower Mainland adjacent to vital services of water, light and transportation, and munition factories, shipbuilding, air plane factories and air

Hall, on Tuesday, January 13, 1942, does hereby call on the Government of the Dominion of Canada to remove all Japanese from the British Columbia coast settlements without delay, and put them inland where they could not be of use to an invading force or to planes in case of air attacks; “In any event: Immediate action should be taken to remove Japanese males of military age from the coastal areas, and to remove all Japanese living in isolated communities on the coast to locations where supervision and control can be more easily exercised; “No Japanese should be allowed to travel outside the community in which he resides or is placed, without a police permit; no Japanese should be allowed to retain in his possession or control any motor vehicle, motorboat or radio equipment; and no Japanese should be employed in any processing or packing of food supplies.” It should be obvious that this manifesto wasn’t cobbled together on the spot, that it had been carefully scripted beforehand. In fact, it was an “amalgamation” of two resolutions already presented to Ottawa by the Duncan Chamber of Commerce and by R.J. Saunderson, one of the committee appointed at the Pythias meeting. The C. of C. resolution, it should be noted, didn’t seek the removal of all Japanese residents, just those males of military age, with certain restrictions placed upon the rest. When Saunderson suggested that all Japanese, men, women and children, be moved from the coast, Capt. Groves said that would take the government too long, better to follow the letter of their resolution which could be acted upon immediately. That resolution, after minor tinkering, was approved by those present and promptly sent off by wire to the prime minister’s office, to the minister of national defence, to “the head of the Committee on Orientals at Ottawa,” and to the provincial chairman of the Standing Committee on Orientals. The day before, Jan. 14, 1942, the federal government had dedicated a 100-mile-long stretch of B.C. coast as a “protected area”. By early March, wholesale internment of 22,000 Japanese Canadians, men, women and children, was underway. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney formally apologized for the internment in 1988 and his government offered a $300 million compensation package. No Japanese Canadian was ever charged with an act of disloyalty. www.twpaterson.com

Sidewalk Sale ‘smokin’ busy’ LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Duncan merchants were delighted Sunday, Nov. 3. They awoke in the morning for their annual Sidewalk Sale to find that their annual superb weather was back, too, to help draw the crowds. Everyone agreed that it was amazing, given the wind and rain of the previous day, but no one was complaining. Sales were brisk, with a large group of shoppers flocking to Duncan to buy every-

thing from Christmas decorations to clothes for that winter resort holiday to super gifts of all kinds. “It’s been smokin’ busy,” said the happy gang at Khaya on Kenneth while Sage Goulet at Just Framing on Station Street said he’d had people come all the way from Victoria for the event. “One man just walked away with about $50 worth of frames for only $5,” he said and then shared that another man had come looking for a white-gas camping stove and had found one, and more in Duncan.

Familiar faces pay tribute with comedy Hay Fever LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

As a special tribute to their late friend and director, David Holmes, the Vagabond Theatre Company is staging Noel Coward’s classic play, Hay Fever. They’ve planned a run of seven performances, six evening shows and one matinee, all at the Mercury Theatre on Brae Road in Duncan. Coward knows just how to combine bad manners and great timing into a play that organizers say “will leave you breathless and maybe wondering just what hit you”. Hay Fever is all about Judith Bliss, who has retired after a life on the stage and is now living with her family in the quiet English countryside. But what the Bliss family does when they all, individually, and inadvertently, invite a house full of guests for the weekend is the stuff of this legendary comedy. Director Jim Cleough said recently that the choice of play was “part of the David Holmes saga.” The group had presented The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde in May and then decided, as playwright Noel Coward was a bit of a student of Oscar Wilde, to take on a Coward play. “That was sort of in David’s mind and he decided it was now time to do something by the student,” Cleough said. The entire cast of The Importance of Being Earnest traveled to Lake Cowichan in May to watch the Kaatza Lakeside Players’ production of Coward’s Blithe Spirit, which was an inspiration. “We saw a local group do a Coward play and enjoyed it, and David wanted to do another real quality script. It fell to Hay Fever,” he said. So, who’s in the production? Cleough is enthusiastic. “My leading lady, Judith Bliss, is Jennifer Lally, who had some big successes with the Nunsense plays a few years ago. Her hus-

Director Jim Cleough, above, says Hay Fever will be a tribute to the late David Holmes, below. [CITIZEN FILE]

band, David Bliss, is being played by Alex Gallacher,” Cleough said. The Bliss children (Sorel and Simon) are played by Corinna Cornforth and Aren Beagley. “We’ve seen Corinna in a number of spectacular pieces of work and Aren is a newcomer. He’s a high school student, living in Shawnigan Lake and attending Kelsey.” The four guests invited for the weekend will be played by Jessie Mann, Michael Terides, Lauren Cooper and Nathan Shockey. “Jessie was also part of Alex’s play, Albertine in Five Times.

She’s a relative newcomer but she’s very keen and is doing some excellent work. Michael Terides is a really strong actor. I really enjoy his work. He’s been around and doing acting work for more than 15 years, aimed mainly at film and TV so this stage stuff is fairly recent for him. Doubt [seen a couple of years back at the Mercury Theatre] was a big stepping out for him in the Valley,” Cleough said. Cooper made her debut in Shawnigan Players pantomime Arabian Nights a couple of years ago. “Then we snapped her up and put her in The Importance of Being Earnest, where she was terrific. Now she’s getting a chance at something different again as the nervous flapper. Shockey is fairly new to the stage as well and will be playing Judith’s interest for the weekend: a young amateur boxer,” he said. There is also a housekeeper, Clara, who keeps everything more or less in order. “She’s being played by Debbie Champken. Most recently, she was one of the two aunties in Arsenic and Old Lace.” Cleough said that Hay Fever, despite its lack of clearly defined plot, is a classic because the audience can see their own experiences come to life onstage. “They are all situations that you’ve either imagined or you’ve been in yourself. So, they are very believable. You’ll be giving that knowing nod, wink and nudge,” he said. The fun begins Thursday, Nov. 14, and continues nightly Nov. 15 and 16, with the cast taking to the boards again Nov. 28, 29 and 30. All these evening performances start at 7:30 p.m. and on top of them, there is a matinee show on Sunday, Dec. 1 starting at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults or $15 for students and seniors. There is a special group rate, too: buy 10 tickets (at one time) and get the 11th ticket free. They are available at Ten Old Books, Solitaire Press and First Chiropractic.

Debaters favourite brings laughs to Valley LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

“It’s the Debaters!” That cry is familiar to thousands of Valley CBC radio listeners as it signifies that the crazy show that features comics trading “fact and funny” to make debating points is back for another session. But This is Not Debatable: Debaters headliner Steve Patterson is bringing his stand-up genius to the Cowichan Theatre in a show Nov. 16 starting at 7:30 p.m. “I can’t wait. Somehow in all my travels, I’ve never gotten the chance to perform there [in Cowichan] so I’m looking very forward to it. I hope you guys will be gentle with me since it’s my first time there,” he said last Thursday. Uber comedian Patterson, is way, way more than just another pretty voice. He’s the Canadian Comedy Awards’ 2013 Stand-up Comedian of the Year, equalling the honour he won in 2011. He’s an international headliner as a stand-up comedian whose wickedly funny style has blown away crowds everywhere he goes. In November, Patterson is beginning the third leg of a national tour with this 90-minute oneman show, entitled This Is Not Debatable! “It’s everything I don’t get to say on The Debaters, which is why it’s called ‘This Is Not Debatable’,” he said. “On the radio, I’m a referee essentially. I add funny where I can but it’s up to the comedians, the debaters themselves do most of the jokes. The worst thing I could do would be to step on their jokes with stuff of my own so, I just hold back and let them do it. With this show, he gets to share

To see Steve Patterson in action, scan this image with the Layar app on your smart phone or go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com [SUBMITTED] his point of view. “As a good Canadian, I write lots of letters so I like to share those letters, written to either people or inanimate objects that should be written to. I’ll even break into song a few times. It’s a full, well-rounded thing. If I could do acrobatics, I’d call it ‘Cirque de Steve’ instead of ‘This Is Not Debateable’.” Expect an up-to-date list of topics he said, as he continues to write on the fly, introducing new material show to show. “What’s going on now has lots of legs to it and it’s going to be fun. There’s really never been a better time to be a Canadian comedian,” Patterson said. Patterson organizes his tours in segments, making changes from region to region. “Because I’m adamant about staying current with it, it’s always

evolving and always changing and I’m always including local things in the show as well. It’s more fun for me that way and I think it’s more fun for the people that come because they know they’re not seeing a show that has been rehearsed and is being said a thousand times before. A lot of the stuff will be very current and it will be very clear what it is,” he said. Un-rehearsed is how he likes it, even on his radio show. Patterson does not hear the debates ahead of time, even though producers once tried to line that up. “I told them I didn’t want that. I want to be honestly reacting and listening with everyone else. That’s why I tend to laugh along a lot. I’m hearing the stuff for the first time. I think the show’s better that way. It’s more honest that

Sherwood House

I’m hearing it at the same time as the audience,” he said. Patterson particularly loves a segment of The Debaters called The Firing Line: rapidfire questions that call forth hilarious answers. “We’re the only show, I think, that actually encourages incorrect answers. I always give the correct answer afterwards but the audience is always disappointed actually when they hear the real answer. They’d rather hear the ones the comedians make up.” The comic said that his own live tour offers him even more options than a live taping of the radio broadcast because he can take his material farther out there than would be part of any CBC show. “It’s not a dirty show but it’s more edgy than people will be used to hearing on the radio. “I wouldn’t discourage anyone, though, from coming. I’ve had people bring their eight, nine and 10-year old children and sit in the front row and I’m fine with that. I’ve been an uncle since I was four so the young people are right in my wheelhouse, and the people that are less young are right in my wheelhouse. I’ve got a pretty good wheelhouse,” he said. Look for an opportunity to interact with him on stage, too. “It’s an interactive show, all right. There will be prizes, too, very small prizes cause it’s a Canadian show,” he said. Tickets are $42 each for the performance. Get them online at cowichantheatre.ca or by calling the Cowichan Ticket Centre at 250-748-7529. For comedy clips, visit www. shantero.com or www.stevepatterson.ca and then, ticket in hand, get ready for some firstclass entertainment.

Once a year, friends of the Chemainus Theatre flock to he Playbill Dining Room for a special gala fundraiser These events have had many themes but this year, the celebration is called Once Upon a Night... following neatly the Once Upon a Day... theme used in an award-winning video of the Cowichan Valley released this year, which featured the theatre.

Colin James’s Cowichan Theatre show sold out LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Colin James is headed to the Cowichan Theatre Nov. 13. [SUBMITTED]

A sold-out Cowichan Theatre will greet the appearance Wednesday, Nov. 13 of six-time Juno-award winning Canadian music legend Colin James. Was it really a quarter century ago that he rocketed to stardom, becoming an instant rock guitar hero, mentored by the equally legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan? It was, and what a long, strange trip it’s been. Since then, this iconic Canadian has topped the charts as a pop vocalist, recorded an acclaimed blues album and led the swing revival with his Little Big Band, which he both fronted and produced. James has no trouble selling out

venues. The Cowichan Theatre shut down its online sales for the show early this week because there were only a handful of tickets and sales were pending for those. Colin James is not a man barricaded behind his fame, either, and fans enjoy watching to see what he does next. During the summer, he stepped up, with a galaxy of other superstars, for a special Alberta Flood Aid show at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Aug. 15. Joining him for the effort were Jann Arden, Johnny Reid, the Sheepdogs, Corb Lund, Tom Cochrane, Ian Tyson, Matthew Good, Randy Bachman and the Sadies. But then, that’s how you can tell they are stars. They shine when it gets dark. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

Helping Men, Families & Community to Create Full, Healthier Lives!

WELCOME TO MY NEW COLUMN, WHOSE FOCUS IS MEN’S WELL BEING As the Executive Director of West Coast Men’s Support Society (WCM) and a Wellness Coach, I am an advocate for men’s emotional and physical health. Our organization began over four years ago as the Cowichan Men’s Resource Centre. About two years ago, we decided to expand our scope to include the entire province in order to support men in a bigger way, and became WCM. Our mission is to help men, families and community to create fuller, healthier lives. We achieve this by offering men the tools and strategies by which to live their lives with integrity, trust, responsibility and accountability. We invite men to fully show up in their lives. As many of you know, November = Movember. This is a month where men around the world grow a moustache in order to bring awareness to men’s health care needs. Please take note that Nov. 19 is International Men’s Day. Imagine giving a man that you care for the gift of wellness! WCM sits on the local CVRD Community Health Network to reinforce men’s wellness in our local region. I have recently begun wellness coaching — inviting men to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing. Do you know a man who could use some wellness coaching? WCM is reaching out to greater B.C. to support the replication of our programs for men. We need your help to make this happen. Please go to our website: westcoastmen.org and click on the Donate button to help us build a perpetual fund to support men and their families for many years to come. Thanks for your time and support.

IN MEMORIAM

This beloved man, the patriarch of his family, blessed many lives for 87+ years. Left to miss him is Margaret, his wife of 60 years; Joanelle (Ken), Brian (Pat), Wendy (Nick), and Reginald (Tesa); his grandchildren: Alisa, Janina (Morgan), and Andria Wiebe; Bill and Kristy Fielding; and one great grandchild, also his namesake, Silas Edward. He leaves his siblings Wesley, Donald, and Mary and many dear cousins-both Burdges and Swans-and friends in Alberta, BC, and England. A man of faith, he had many church friends as well as associates in the farming community. Although born in England, Dad loved Alberta where he spent his childhood. Always conscientious and hard working, he started milking cows at 8 years of age. Dad, his father, and Wes had the last raw milk home delivery route in Victoria. He then moved to Cobble Hill where he continued to dairy farm until his â&#x20AC;&#x153;retirementâ&#x20AC;? when he kept chickens and gardened until the last month of his life. A celebration of his life is to take place on 9 November at 1 p.m. at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church; reception following on site. Online condolences at www.hwwallacecbc.com

CIS honours Mann’s dedication KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

From both individual and team perspectives, the 2013 field hockey season hasn’t been an easy one for Miranda Mann. Not only did the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds — of whom Mann is the captain — battle seemingly endless adversity, losing players to injuries and national team commitments throughout the fall, Mann also dealt with the death of her father, Les, a longtime supporter of the sport, just last month. Mann’s commitment to the sport was recognized on a national level when Canadian Interuniversity Sport presented her with the Gail Wilson Award prior to the national championship tournament in Victoria last week. The award honours “exceptional human qualities such as putting the needs of the team first, consistently demonstrating respect, kindness and concern for others and demonstrating dedication, commitment, and loyalty to the team both on and off the playing field.” According to UBC coach Hash Kanjee, Mann exemplifies those qualities.

Miranda Mann captains the UBC Thunderbirds against Guelph at nationals. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] “Miranda has a bright personality, a very positive attitude and her leadership skills which all go towards providing the glue that holds our team together,” he said. “She leads by example and is dedicated and committed to the Thunderbird team philosophy of hard work and constant improvement. She will leave the Thunderbird tradition in a better place

than when she arrived.” Gail Wilson is one of Mann’s instructors at UBC, which gives the award additional meaning for Mann. “She’s an absolutely wonderful lady, and she has taught me so much,” Mann said. Mann wrapped up her CIS career last Sunday by winning her fourth national title in five years when UBC beat the host University of Victoria. The entire CIS tournament had unique emotional overtones for Mann — it was while watching her play at the UVic turf that her father suffered his fatal heart attack. “Going back to the field for the first time was a bit stressful, a bit emotional, but I have a good support system,” she said. “My mom was there, and my brother, and other family.” Her teammates, and the rest of the field hockey community, including the UVic players, also rallied around her, doing for her what she has done for the sport for many years. “It has been a really tough year with everything that happened,” she said. “All of us had to work through a lot of stuff, and we came through awesome.”

Fifth-year players Miranda Mann and Caitlin Evans guided the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds to their fourth Canadian Interuniversity Sport field hockey championship in five years by beating the host University of Victoria 5-1 in the title game. Meanwhile, in Quebec City, fifth-year player Steff Hoffman and rookie Sam Jory helped the University of Alberta Pandas win their first CIS rugby championship since 2003, with a 29-10

Alex Kellar, another Cow High grad, was on the Guelph team that claimed bronze in the CIS field hockey tournament. Shawnigan Lake School grad Shannon Kelly and Cow High grad Brittany Reid were on the McGill team that placed fourth in the nation in women’s rugby, and Brentwood College alumna Dani Robb was part of the St. Francis Xavier squad that finished fifth in that tournament. Robb scored a try for St. FX, the 2012 national champs, in the fifth-place game as the X-Women beat the Laval Rouge et Or 45-20.

Armand Uomoleale had a goal and an assist in the Isles’ 4-4 tie. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Isles work double overtime KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Kerry Park Islanders only played one Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game last weekend, but they made up for their light schedule with extra hockey. Unable to snap a deadlock with the Westshore Wolves through periods of four-onfour and three-on-three overtime, the Isles settled for a 4-4 tie with their rivals from the other side of the Malahat. The Isles played a typically strong first period, and thanks to a powerplay goal from Armand Uomoleale, headed to the intermission with a 1-0 lead. Westshore got back in the games after the break, and by the midway point of the second frame led 3-1. Corey Peterson cut into the lead with another powerplay marker, but the Wolves answered back again. With just over two minutes left in the second, Alex Milligan made it a one-goal game once again, and Cody Short tied the score in the third.

Nothing was settled through the two overtimes, although both teams had their opportunities to score, and the game went into the books as a draw, Kerry Park’s first of the campaign. “The fans got full value for their money,” said Islander owner Mark Osmond. “That’s how I look at it.” The game marked the return to Islanders silks of forward Brendan Gowanlock, who recently wrapped up the junior football season with the Vancouver Island Raiders, and defenceman Colton Burt, who was reacquired from the Oceanside Generals. “Those guys are players’ players,” said Osmond. “They’re hard-working and good in the changeroom.” The Isles will be back in action this Wednesday, when they face the Braves in Saanich. On Saturday, they head to Nanaimo to meet the Buccaneers, and on Sunday, they play host to the Campbell River Storm at 3 p.m.

Cow High, Kelsey bound for B.C.’s KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Secondary Thunderbirds and Frances Kelsey Breakers are bound for the provincial championships after topping the class at the Island AAA field hockey championships. Cowichan went undefeated through the tournament at John Ferreira Field, while Kelsey’s lone defeat came against the T-Birds, along with a tie against Mt. Douglas. “The girls are thrilled that their hard work is paying off,” said Kelsey head coach Ali Andersen. “And we’re excited to go with Cow High. It’s an amazing feat that the teams from the Valley are representing the whole Island. It shows where our

strength is in field hockey.” With the exception of Kelsey’s draw with Mt. Doug, the Valley schools had the run of the tournament. “The girls played well,” said Cow High coach Jen Budding. “Everyone got to work on the things we’ve been practicing throughout the season. Except for the Kelsey game, the other games were a little lopsided, but a couple of the teams did manage to score a goal on us. “I think we have a well-balanced team, and the other teams have a few less players that play at higher levels of hockey, so we are very fortunate to have the skills we do.” The provincial tournament will take place in Burnaby on Nov. 13-15.

Cowichan got back into the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association win column on Sunday with a 3-0 win at home over Gorge. Melissa Dawson opened the scoring in the first half, working the ball from the half and firing the ball from the right side to just inside the far post. Still in the first half, Letitia Turlock added to the lead, calling for the ball as she ran from the outside midfield and converting a perfect pass from Nicole Pugh. In the second half, Pugh scored one of her own with a header off a corner kick by Jennifer Lecouteur. Mariah Robinson earned assists on two of Cowichan’s goals, while Kerynne Bain earned the shutout, making several excellent saves, including a diving effort where she was just able to get her hand on the ball to keep it out. “The whole team played well and played as a team,” said coach Marilyn Pugh. “It’s coming.” Cowichan will visit Vic West next Sunday at Victor Brodeur Park.

Caps sub-par against Clippers KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

By the time the Cowichan Valley Capitals started playing their best hockey last Sunday, it was too late, and the team ended up with a 4-2 loss to the Nanaimo Clippers. The Caps led 2-1 after a pair of manadvantage markers in the first period, but were sub-par for the bulk of the game, said head coach Bob Beatty. By the time they picked it up, it was too late. “We were able to capitalize on the powerplay a couple of times, but it wasn’t a great first period on our part,” he said. “It might have been average. It was less than that for the rest of the game until the last five minutes. If we had played with that intensity for 60 minutes, we wouldn’t have been in the position we were in.” Forwards Dane Gibson and Adam Moody each registered a goal and an assist in the

Cow High’s Skene tapped for provincial U18 post After a fantastic spring 2013 season that saw his teams win provincial sevens and XV championships, Cowichan Secondary head coach Brad Skene has been selected to lead the B.C. U18 girls team at the prestigious Las Vegas Sevens tournament in January. Skene was an assistant coach with the team that placed third in its first time at the Vegas tournament last year. “It is very rewarding to be recognized for my past representative work and the success of Cowichan Secondary and the Cowichan club,” Skene said. “I truly enjoy working with elite athletes and testing myself and them.” Four Cowichan Secondary players and one from Brentwood College were on the provincial team last year, and some could make the cut this time around, including returnees Adrienne Saari and Darien Hobday of Cow High, and Brentwood’s Ciel Arbour-Boehme.

first period. Goalie Robin Gusse was strong once again, making 28 stops. There wasn’t much else for Beatty to be excited about. “I’d say it was a disappointment to everyone,” he said. “There weren’t a lot of positives. We can be thankful to our goaltender for being above average consistently.” The Caps will play a home-and-home series with the Victoria Grizzlies this weekend, starting at The Stick on Friday at 7 p.m., and moving to Bear Mountain on Saturday. On Sunday, the team heads to Powell River to face the Kings. “It’s a huge weekend for us,” said Beatty. “The two games against Victoria are as big as or bigger than the game against Nanaimo, and we have to be up for it. It’s crucial: two four-point games, back to back, then another divisional game against Powell River. We have to pick our game up a couple of notches to be in the hunt here.”
