Rural fireworks spook animals LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Fireworks are erupting in Sahtlam even after Halloween as livestock owners report that their animals suffered during recent celebrations. Rose Rogan is angry that she

had to comfort her four terrified goats after fireworks were set off near their enclosure, in contravention of both a Cowichan Valley Regional District bylaw and any consideration for her animals. “I have a farm out here in

Sahtlam,” she explained. “My goat area is right next to a fence. People let off fireworks, somewhere after 9 p.m. so loud it was like they were almost in my property. I went out there to check. My goats have a wire compound attached to their

house that I lock up at night because I get bear and cougar. I milk my goats; they’re part of my livelihood. “When I got out there, those goats weren’t even touching the ground. They were hitting the walls in their house. They were so

frantic. It was so sad to see them,” Rogan said. She got them into a stall. “They collapsed in a heap; they could barely breathe. So I sat out there in the dark with them. See NEW BYLAW, Page 12

STANDING TALL ONCE MORE

Tangled rules, jurisdictions to blame for pot shop denial SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Duncan city workers reinstall a totem pole at the corner of Jubilee and Kenneth streets on Oct. 26. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Valley businessman Bob McKernan has commercial store space to rent “with excellent TCH exposure” in Area D (Cowichan Bay). McKernan even has potential tenants. The problem is the Cowichan Valley Regional District, he says, won’t permit those tenants to open up shop. “As of late I have had numerous compassionate marijuana groups inquiring to rent my store front and open a dispensary,” McKernan said. “My zoning includes agricultural and horticultural supply sales/health studio/personal service and just plain retail sales,” he said. “I thought I had it covered... no, not so.” CVRD vice chair Lori Iannidinardo, the director for Cowichan Bay, explained that when they were working on the official community plan for that area, the board knew the marijuana issue was coming down the pipe. “We did what we could from our level but we are not sure if we’ve covered everything,” Iannidinardo admitted. And while he isn’t so sure dispensaries are even legal, McKer-

Lori Iannidinardo, Area D director nan still takes issue with the CVRD’s zoning bylaws prohibiting marijuana-related activities. “Imagine the brazenness of these people to make such a decision in this the 21st Century. Shame on them. I personally find this totally unacceptable and probably unconstitutional,” he said. “Aren’t they the CVRD some kind of special! Just one more step by our local government in their attempt to make time go backwards.” According to Health Canada, dispensaries are currently illegal Canada-wide. An inquiry with Health Canada yielded the following response: “Health Canada does not license organizations such as compassion clubs or dispensaries to pos-

sess, produce or distribute marijuana for medical purposes. The only legal means for individuals to access marijuana for medical purposes is via a licenced producer, with the support of their health care practitioner.” Health Canada’s website went on to say that “Unauthorized activities associated with marijuana are considered to be criminal offences and are subject to the penalties set out in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.” The CVRD and other local governments have worked on their bylaws in order to avoid situations like in Vancouver and Victoria where pot distribution isn’t technically legal but local bylaws don’t prohibit it so dispensaries have been popping up. Federal legislation has complicated matters, as Ottawa waffles on the issue. “That’s the whole problem everybody is having with this is it’s not legal,” Iannidinardo said. “It’s entirely totally confusing and the feds need to get their act together.” It’s an issue that needs to be made more clear, and the sooner the better Iannidinardo added.

Deep division over rock festival KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The future of the Rock of the Woods music festival at its Sahtlam location comes down to a land-use issue, according to CVRD Area E Director Alison Nicholson. Nicholson presided over a meeting at the Eagles Hall on Oct. 26 where members of the public were encouraged to share their thoughts and concerns about an application for a temporary use permit that would allow the festival to take place for four days a year from 2016 to 2018. While those in attendance were largely in favour of continuing to hold the event at the Irvine Drive site where it has taken place the last two summers, immediate neighbours remain divided over the merits of the location. “The community at large, particularly the young people that go to the event really love it,” Nicholson acknowledged. “There’s an emotional attachment to it; they really have a good time. [Neighbours] don’t like it there. They aren’t against the festival; they just don’t want it in their neighbourhood.” While most neighbourhood residents who spoke at the meeting voiced their opposition to the event, festival organizers say they have the names and addresses of several residents of the immediate area who attended the festival or have otherwise voiced suppor t, and displayed a map with the addresses marked. At least one opponent demanded to see a list of addresses or they “don’t count,” but organizers refused to provide the list due to privacy concerns. Nicholson said neighbours who are against the festival are also worried about voicing their opinions publicly. “I know quite a few people are opposed,” she said. “Some of them just don’t like to speak out.”

Man in critical condition after assault SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Rock of the Woods spokesperson Kelly Black addresses the crowd during a public meeting about the music festival at the Duncan Eagles Hall on Oct. 26. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Concerns raised by opponents of the festival ranged from traffic on Sunrise Road and Irvine Drive and damage to the riverside to worries about fire prevention, something organizers have addressed to the satisfaction of the Sahtlam Fire Department. Other opponents compared the festival to the spawn of Satan, blamed the loud music for the death of a dog, and said they heard rumours that an “illegitimate baby” was born at the event. Organizers flatly denied that any babies had been born at Rock of the Woods. Festival director Dave Bain was pleased with the turnout for the meeting. “I thought it was a good showing,” he said. “It allowed for good dialogue regarding the CVRD and Rock of the Woods.” While opponents say that they don’t have anything against the festival, but don’t want it held in Sahtlam, Bain says there are no other options for a location. “The one reason this festival has stayed alive is because Clayton [Frost] has donated his

land,” he explained. “If they say no to this festival, that’s it.” Even if the temporary use permit is approved for the next three years, Nicholson said she is worried that there could be negative longterm repercussions for the organizers. “My concern is that they want to invest there, and I don’t want to lead them on,” she said. “It would be a shame for them to have invested in infrastructure.” The CVRD could deny any building permits for the site, particularly close to the river, where an environmental assessment would be required, but Nicholson said that isn’t necessarily a solution. “People are supposed to get permits to do anything down there, but people don’t always do what they are supposed to do,” she said. Bain noted that Rock of the Woods has done no construction on the site, and has no plans to make any permanent structures. In fact, Frost went above and beyond to improve the riparian area when he bought the prop-

erty, he said. “Clayton took out dump trucks of garbage, and cars that were leaking into the river,” Bain said. Festival organizers are going through the proper process as laid out by the CVRD as they seek their permit, but Nicholson doesn’t feel that system is appropriate, either. “It wasn’t a good process,” when the TUP process was inserted into the Official Community Plan, she said. “I don’t think the community ever had a chance to understand what the implications were. It’s too vague. It didn’t define what ‘temporary’ meant.” The Area E director said her plan is to address the concerns of the immediate neighbourhood when she decides how to vote on the festival permit. “My personal view is that the bylaw says we are supposed to consider what the neighbourhood wants,” she said. “It is clear what the wider community wants, but we have to decide if this is appropriate land use in the neighbourhood.”

Chaplin Street skate park location to go to public

New chief for Malahat Nation SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

For the first time in Malahat Nation history, a woman has been named chief. Caroline Harry emerged victorious Monday after the membership’s votes were counted. She received 40 of the 85 votes for chief. A 40-year-old mother of six and grandmother of one, with another on the way, Harry has lived in the community all her life. She said she will be guided by the past as she looks to the future. “My example is my elders,” said Harry. “I was raised by my grandparents. I believe that our culture and teachings should be the foundation of everything we do as Malahat people. We, as Malahat, need to work together and for each other.” In addition to being the first female chief, Harry will also be the first chief under the new four-year term. It replaces the old two-year system. Joining chief Harry on council are: brothers George Harry Jr. and Matt Harry. They received 45 and 37 votes respectively.

George Harry Jr. is a young Malahat citizen working hard to provide for his growing family. Both he and brother Matt are pursuing their carpentry Red Seal designation. According to a press release, the brothers have worked on various Malahat Nation projects including new housing projects and also helped construct the Kwunew Kwasun Cultural Centre. Former chief Vince Harry, who served as chief for three terms during the 2000s and as a councillor before that rounds out the new council with 41 votes. He’s looking forward to a longer term this time around. “A four-year term will give us more time,” Vince Harry said. “Two years isn’t long enough for all the work that needs to be done.” While all are Harrys, with the exception of the two brothers, they are all from different families within the band. The chief and council were not available for comment as they were in orientation meetings. The Malahat band is comprised of close to 300 members, with about half living on Malahat lands.

A public meeting is the next step in the creation of a new skate park in Crofton. Nor th Cowichan council agreed in principal to a location on Chaplin Street but want to take the issue to the community for feedback before proceeding. “It’s just an agreement in principal. It doesn’t say definitively where it’ll go,” said Coun. Tom Walker. “I’ll hold my comments until after the public meeting to see what the folks in Crofton think.” The skate park in Crofton is currently located behind the community centre in amongst other recreational opportunities like tennis courts and ball fields. That was the preferred loca-

tion but further investigation revealed that the spot wasn’t very good. “Unfortunately the soils in that entire area, as it turns out, are such that in order to properly construct that type of facility at that location that would have significant financial implication given the amount of work that would be required to prepare the site for a skate park,” development services director Scott Mack said. In other words, parks and recreation manager Ernie Mansueti explained, the budget would be blown on what’s below the ground, not on the actual park itself. “In my discussions with the Crofton Community Centre and the skate park committee — because they actually have

one in Crofton — they would rather see the money go into the park,” he said. That’s what prompted the search for a new site. “We tried four different sites. They’re all the same soils — It’s all fill,” Mansueti noted. “It really only came down to one, Chaplin.” The community centre leadership and the skate park group are in favour of that site but North Cowichan brass has learned from experience that community say is important. “The first step that I’m asking for is we need to bring this to the public and have them give their feedback. The skate park people are going to be there but I’m hoping also the residents will be there too,” Mansueti said.

A new City of Duncan Advisory Design Panel will make recommendations on the proposed look of major developments within city boundaries moving forward. “It’s for really big projects like the one on Canada Avenue,” explained Coun. Michelle Staples, the City of Duncan’s representative on the committee. “That one would have been sent to the design panel because it has a significant impact on the downtown.” Developments like the one at 15 Canada Ave. are actually what prompted the creation of the panel. “There was so much discussion around design during that process and design committees are very common in a lot of different places and it was something going through that process that we recognized we needed to add in,” Staples explained. The panel won’t be deliberating over every development application, and residential projects won’t be affected.

The general public and organized bodies are requested to be in position at the Cross no later than 10:50 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. the fire siren will sound to commence two minutes of silence and will sound again at the expiration of this time.

It would be appreciated if all dog owners would consider leaving their dogs at home on this momentous occasion. Phil Kent Mayor

“There’ll be some applications that will be reviewed by the panel but not every application will be,” Staples said. “It’s just for those with significant impacts. We’re talking major developments, we’re not talking every development in Duncan.” The panel will review projects and make non-binding recommendations to Duncan council. “It is great because it’s an important thing to have, I think after going through that process with having something going onto a major intersection downtown and recognizing that we didn’t have anything in place that would really address the design impacts of that and how it fits into downtown,” Staples said. “Without that you don’t have enough guidance to really have that conversation.” The architect leading the 15 Canada Ave. project is on the design committee, made up of five voting members and one City of Duncan representative. Two architects, one landscape architect, and two members with demonstrated backgrounds in development or design (for example: a planner, a land development economist, a builder with Build Green credentials, a person with expertise in accessible design etc.) make up the voting members, and the one council member. Victoria-based architect Marilyn Palmer is the panel’s chair.

Humpback whales greet Mill Bay boaters SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

It’s been a little Mill Bay secret this summer, and even as summer has turned to fall. Humpback whales have been frequenting the Saanich Inlet, and while not in droves, they’ve been appearing frequently, giving visitors to the area, particularly those at Mill Bay Marina and Bridgeman’s Bistro, quite a thrill. “It has become quite a phenomenon for the boating crowd,” said Mill Bay Marina manager Josh McKamey. “I understand whales used to be common in the [Saanich] Inlet many years ago, but nobody I’ve talked to has heard of this much activity in recent years — and nobody I’ve talked to has ever heard of humpbacks hanging out so close to the marina.” Whale tales of sailors’ encounters enhance the atmosphere around both the marina and the restaurant. Mariner Jen MacPherson lives nearby and has witnessed the giant creatures from the deck of her 26-foot power boat — albeit from a respectable distance. “I like to stay at a distance because they’re wild mammals and they are feeding,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing for us here in Mill Bay. It’s pretty neat.” MacPherson’s boat has been moored at the Mill Bay Marina for the last two years. In that

A whale’s tail makes for quite the whale tale! An Oct. 4 encounter saw the MacPherson family witness two humpbacks, out by the large buoy in the Saanich Inlet. [BRAD MACPHERSON PHOTO] time the creatures have made a comeback. Humpbacks are baleen whales, and as such they eat smaller fish and plankton. MacPherson believes they are in the area feasting on herring and perhaps shrimp or prawns. “They dive down deep, blow

what’s termed a “bubble net”, which confuse the little fish just enough for the whale to scoop up a mouthful to eat,” she said. MacPherson said it’s because of that that she’s always looking for bubbles when she’s on the water. “We’ve had several experiences with them and it seems like every

time we go out, if we see a cluster of boats out there we know that the whales are there,” she said. The last time she saw the majestic creatures was Oct. 26. The weather has turned cold and wet so she hasn’t been out on the boat much this last week or so. One of her favourite encounters

was their first experience of the year with the giant mammals, on Sept. 4, with a particularly friendly whale. “We understand that that whale is featured on YouTube and apparently he’s called Yogi, the friendly one. It’s quite the video.” The video shows the whale sticking close to the whale watching boat for more than just a quick glimpse. (Search “Youtube: Humpback Whale ‘Yogi’ in Saanich Inlet” to see the 13-minute film.) “I gather that’s the same one who came to visit us on the fourth of September because it came right up beside the boat. My husband and son laughed at me so hard because it scared me so bad,” she related. “But when you’ve got a 52-foot whale beside you it’s a pretty exhilarating feeling. It’s a little unnerving because you don’t know where they’re going to come up. But I’ve come to the realization they know exactly where you are. I don’t know if I’d want to be in a kayak out there.” One boater, John Lichtenwald captured an image of just that scenario. He told the Huffington Post photographing a humpback surfacing just metres away from a passing kayaker was “one of the most exhilarating moments” of his life.

OUR VIEW

Consider animals when you set off fireworks

ow that Halloween is over, many animal owners are already bracing themselves for the next big one: New Year’s Eve. The two winter celebrations are the most likely times of the year, outside of Canada Day, when people let off fireworks. By far, Halloween has historically been the most problematic, with many people not waiting for the big night and instead setting fireworks and firecrackers off for weeks before and after Oct. 31. So what’s wrong with that, you may ask?

There’s a good reason they are banned for both sale and use in the Cowichan Valley with the exception of those who get a permit from the local government for a specific time and place. They can be dangerous in a number of ways, but they are particularly dicey around animals. The sudden light and shattering noise they produce can seriously spook pets and livestock. Imagine a cat or dog outdoors doing their business when a firecracker is suddenly thrown close by.

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

If they are initially unhurt by the irresponsible thrower, unsurprisingly, their instinct is to run — as far and as fast as they can. It’s easy to imagine the terrible scenarios that can arise after that, and the grief and fear it can cause for the families that love these furry members of the clan. Livestock, like goats, sheep, horses and cattle are another thing again. These animals can also be terribly spooked by fireworks set off too close to their enclosures. With no way to truly get away,

these animals can badly injure themselves or others in their terror. Yes, fireworks can be great fun. We love to watch a good show, planned and set off by somebody who knows what they’re doing. But if you live near someone that you know has animals that are going to find your fireworks one of the worst experiences of their lives, try to show some compassion. If you cannot get far enough away to mitigate their fright, perhaps consider attending a public show instead. Your neighbour will thank you.

Liberals dealt blow to Conservatives Democracy is alive and well in Canada despite desperate fears from worry warts who say (said) it is dead. Anti-Harper sentiment permeated the hearts and minds of people of all stripes. The result was surprising. Was it going to be a Conservative majority or minority, a Liberal minority or a possible coalition of centre-left and socialists? These were the questions on the minds of most political pundits. It is important to acknowledge those who bucked the trend of the political chattering classes (like yours truly). They were the minority

antagonizing for a Liberal majority. They were mostly dismissed as either naive or just being silly, but they were the big winners in the end. They deserve to relish the win for a long time. For many young first time Liberal voters, it will be a lifelong positive memory. Many of us were wondering how vote splitting among NDP, Green and Liberal voters would shape the country. Pundits spoke less about a possible vote shift. Canada experienced a vote shift not a vote split. Voters from all camps left their political homes and voted Liberal. This is the most lethal blow the Conservatives could have

been dealt because it has potential long lasting recovery time. The Conservatives were not wrong about Justin Trudeau himself, they were wrong about the timing. They did not say he was not ready, they said he was not ready “yet”. Parliament has returned to traditional form of two centrist free world mixed economy parties occupying government and official opposition benches. There is a social conscience third party to rouse the free press of the behaviour of establishment. Sounds like a democracy to me brought to us by a first past the post process and fixed elections. John Koury North Cowichan

While I realize that work on the dikes and the Cowichan weir are necessary evils for us beleaguered taxpayers, I think that putting Arts and Culture on our taxes as a line instead of a grant is a frivolous addition to people who with federal, provincial, and municipal paws forever raiding our anorexic pockets, is just a bit much. As a resident of Saltair, we voted down the addition of the Chesterfield Sportsplex in the referendum last election day. I suspect that was a bit of a stinging blow for the CVRD, and this AAP is just a way of ramming this frivolous line onto our taxes with very little chance of defeat. If my wife and I go to the Chemainus Theatre we pay for tickets. This feels a lot like double dipping if I have to pay taxes to also attend. When, oh when, will some level of government listen to the people’s pleas to hold the line on taxes? It seems they all promise to when they want to be elected. To the residents of the CVRD I plead, please go to the CVRD office, or go online, print out the form, sign it and put an end to this abuse of power on behalf of special interest groups. Remember, once it is a line on your taxes, it is there forever, and it has only one direction to go... UP! Gord McAulay Saltair

To the Hydro crew who fixed the downed wires on Cow Bay Road on Friday, Oct. 30 , many thanks for your diligence. I rely on electricity to help me move, even sit up in bed. You might have heard me cheer at 3 p.m. when my bedside lit up once more and the heat came on; I was so happy. And thank you, too, for all the other outages you repair so quickly.

Re: Cedar Avenue upgrades Who dropped the ball on this one, the City of Duncan or the contractor on the job? According to an official handout construction started on June 8 and was to take eight to 10 weeks; we are now into our 21st week and the job is still not finished. We went all summer without street lights and the dust was horrible, now it is the mud. Some yards have large holes in them and some still can’t use their driveways. This job has taken longer than Canada Avenue.

This week’s question:

The evening of Halloween, I witnessed a horrific scene on my farm, due to thoughtless people, close to my property line. This scene was a show of fiery, LOUD fireworks, approximately 18 metres from my goat house. I found my goats in a hysterical frenzy, literally bouncing from wall to wall. Trying to calm all four, they all collapsed in a stall corner, in a heap, heaving and gasping for breath. I sat with them for a duration, until their breathing returned to normal. The look of fear, terror, and helplessness in their eyes was so sad, nothing I have ever seen before. This discharging of fireworks so close to an animal enclosure was a vicious act of animal cruelty. Pets, livestock and wildlife come to great harm when there is trauma caused by fright. Publications were placed in the newspaper prior to Halloween by the CVRD. A Discharge Permit is required, and all requirements are to be met. A requirement under Bylaw No. 39 “prohibits discharge of fireworks within 500 metres of livestock property”. This utter act of ignorance was within metres of livestock property. My farm is my livelihood, and the farm and my surrounding community is my passion. This has broken my heart, and almost killed my goat herd. The sales of fireworks are illegal on southern Vancouver Island to the Cassidy Airport. From the airport north, anyone can purchase fireworks. I can see that some day there will be a total ban, if fireworks are not discharged with respect to all. So the very people that enjoy fireworks, but do not abide by bylaws, will be the demise of fireworks.

Cedar Ave. still not finished

There are still good people I just wanted to give some kudos to a staff at a local business (long overdue). Thank you to the Old Farm Market. I grew up in the Cowichan Valley, and enjoy my visits to the “homeland” but even moreso due to a recent gesture of good will by possibly citizen(s) and definitely employees of the Old Farm Market. I believe it was Sunday, Aug. 16 — a very busy day at the Old Farm Market and I was distracted with a personal matter. I must have put my wallet down while shopping and when I went to the till I realize that I had lost it. I asked if there was a lost and found and I was directed to the back, where the staff had my wallet, with all the contents still there. You have no idea how relieved I was! Losing my wallet would have made a stressful time in my life all the more stressful. Instead, I got a reminder that there are still good people out there, and in particular, in the Cowichan Valley. Thank you! With sincere gratitude, Deborah Cooper Victoria

Collaboration to screw taxpayers, property owners In response to Klaus Kuhn’s article on Oct. 22, well said Klaus. The responsibility is federal and provincial to manage these issues, but it is also encumbant upon Catalyst in the terms of their water licence to cover any expenses of ensuring a seven cms flow at the lake

into the river. The flow into the river has rarely kept up to the requirements of the water licence, yet no one seems to have the mojo to enforce the contractual terms with Catalyst. The CVRD approach to put the burden onto local taxpayers is enabling Catalyst to avoid accountability for their contractual obligations. Also the main beneficiaries of improvements to the weir and rule curve are downstream in North Cowichan and the City of Duncan, yet the burden of land use loss is being dumped onto the lakeshore property owners without due consultation with those most impacted. Bottom line is the CVRD is determined to get what they want and are saying “screw you” if you get in their way. The use of the AAP to ram initiatives like these through the back door is undemocratic, outside of their scope of authority, and tramples on the rights of the lakeshore property owners. Add to this that Catalyst is also applying right now to pump down the lake by up to 23 inches each year, under the guise of a temporary water use under section 8 of the Water Act, with no consideration of the impact to lakeshore properties. Between the AAPs by the CVRD and Catalyst’s section 8 application, and both organizations essentially running the Cowichan Watershed Board, you get a very clear picture of collaboration to screw the local taxpayers and lakeshore property owners.

◆ TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Benefits of cooperative branding PETER WATTS SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

common challenge for tourism development in a single rural community, such as the communities of Cowichan Bay, Duncan, Chemainus, Shawnigan Lake/ Mill Bay, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan and Port Renfrew is their limited drawing power. Most of our individual rural destinations are too small to form a critical mass required of a primary destination. In order to make the most of rural tourism resources, communities must approach their marketing activities from a cooperative perspective. Rural tourism marketing through cooperative branding, helps individual rural communities increase efficiency in the use of tourism resources and the synergizing drawing power of their attractions. World tourism organizations predict a significant rise of long-haul vacationers; and a demand for leisure in rural and natural settings is expected to grow at a faster speed. Greater drawing power

with an appealing brand name supported by consistent image building will allow communities to develop unique and distinct brand identities and establish clear and competitive positions in the rural tourism marketplace. It is noted that while branding is a relatively new concept in destination marketing, there is no lack of good practices such as that of the Thompson Okanagan, Tofino Tourism and Parksville Qualicum to mention a few. Cooperative branding is a step-up version of the individual community strategy in that it goes beyond image building, as it emphasizes the importance of selecting a brand element or element mix to represent the brand identity. Cooperative branding removes the restriction of geographic names associated with individual cities and towns and provides a rare opportunity to give the defined regional destination a unique name and allows us to build a unique identity as a result.

Ken & Anderson Kelli Janicki We put your Best Interest First

Existing regions in many parts of Canada are formed arbitrarily, and are numbered or named by their compass locations, such as southwest and north central. Cooperative branding seriously challenges such practice. Especially when we already own a viable regional brand image in Tourism Cowichan. We can then see that a regional area can capitalize on an organic image even though a specific attraction is not exclusively tied to a regional area. The attraction has a better chance of discovery by capitalizing on the regional organic image so as to build a stronger induced image. For example the Raptor Centre. Destination branding must take into consideration the four conditions of existing organic image, existing induced image, destination size and composition, and then positioning and target markets. Peter Watts is the general manager of the Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn.

It’s easy to confuse the term “nutritionist” and a registered dietitian. The latter can be the former but the former is most often not the latter. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietitian must have a bachelor or master’s degree in nutrition and have done an internship of practical work before being registered. For the best nutrition advice, seek out a registered dietitian.

Hemorrhoids often aren’t noticed until there is blood in the stools. This could be a sign of other problems as well so it is important to get it checked. Colon cancer is one of these other problems and is most successfully treated when found early.There are medications to sooth mild cases of hemorrhoids. Talk to our pharmacists for some treatment suggestions.

n intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective method of birth control. However only 5% of women use that method. Compared to birth control pills where there are 5-9 pregnancies per 100 women per year, for an IUD it is 1 out of 100. IUDs do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease or ectopic pregnancies. It’s a choice to consider as an alternative to the “pill”.

Harold Joe, master carver. [CITIZEN FILE] “It will be the first time that First Nations veterans have ever been acknowledged,” Rice said. Why are they doing it this year? “It was that Harold got the idea from a Mainland ceremony. What’s happening is all the families are coming together with their family member that was in a war. They’ll be from all the different communities. We have some coming from the U.S., and from all over the Island, on the Mainland. We’re recognizing them for what they have done. It’s a great thing.”

The event is not just for First Nations people. “After we’re finished blessing the totem pole and the canoe, after that ceremony, they can come from 11 a.m. to about 2 p.m.,” she said. The totem pole and warrior canoe will get a place of honour at Vancouver Island University, too. “They have agreed to house them after that day,” she said. “But the canoe is going to travel, too. Afterwards, if another community wants to do this next year, they can borrow the canoe.”

First Nations veterans will be honoured Wednesday, Nov. 11 with a never-before-seen celebration at the Somena Longhouse on Allenby Road. According to Marlene Rice, a spokesperson for the event, “That day is special event. George Rice has carved the totem pole and Harold Joe has made the canoe. It all starts at 8 a.m. on Nov. 11 with a cultural ceremony first, blessing the totem pole and then the warrior canoe that they have made. After that, at 11 a.m. there is going to be the Act of Remembrance at the Somena Longhouse.” Later in the day, just after lunch, there will be a special remembrance of past First Nations veterans from far and near. “About 1 o’clock, there will be photos of the veterans carried around by family members. We’re going to have a little booklet showing who is involved,” she said. This will be a new event for the Cowichan area and its people.

New bylaw requires 500-metre fireworks buffer from livestock RURAL, From Page 1 I tried to calm them so their breathing got down to normal. I couldn’t go inside to get the phone to call 9-1-1.” Rogan said she thought the fireworks were set off probably about two to three metres from her property line which is about 18 metres from the goats’ enclosure. That concerned her. Anyone letting off fireworks is supposed to have a permit but this year regulations have been beefed up and Rogan said she felt particularly let down because, “it says right there on the permit: ‘I acknowledge that fireworks are not to be discharged within 500 metres of livestock.’ That’s half a kilometre.” She said she has spoken to a CVRD bylaw officer and is hoping to see at least a warning handed out. “This 500-metre thing has only been in for only two weeks. They can plead ignorance. But if this doesn’t go any further I am going to call the SPCA.” Because she is also a Sahtlam firefighter, Rogan is usually not

at home on Halloween because she helps out with celebrations at the hall. “But this year I didn’t go because I was so worried about my dogs. It was the first time in probably 13-14 years I haven’t gone to the fire hall. I’m so glad I didn’t,” she said. Rogan is also looking at taking affirmative action herself. “I am planning to take the notice that was in the paper and plasticize it and put it on every mailbox here.” Although her goats are now more relaxed, the shock has affected their milk, she said. “I can’t believe how much the milk production has dropped after that day. That’s a sign of stress. Ask any vet or dairy farmer. Animals are resilient, but I could have lost them. Imagine someone lighting a firework under the window of a six-month-old baby: something like that.” Rogan said she knows she’s not the only livestock owner with the problem. She has also talked to Alison Nicholson, CVRD area director for Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora

— a heavily rural area. Rogan’s friend, Kelly West, who also lives in the Sahtlam area, is also concerned about the need to rein in fireworks around livestock. She and her husband, Dean, live on two acres and an issue arose during a neighbourhood New Year’s celebration. Advance notice had been given about the event but it still disturbed the animals. “We have sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. Our ducks were quite close to the property line. That night I was hunkered down beside them. I could hear them trampling on each other in their fright.” The end result at New Year’s was that four ducks and a rooster had to be put down, she said. She said that she and her husband had also spoken to the bylaw control officer and to Nicholson “to see if there was anything they could do.” The recent change in the bylaw was welcome, but they also took proactive steps, so that at Halloween, when there were fireworks set off nearby

WE HAVE MOVED

“I think people were just ignoring the fact that they needed to have permits to let off fireworks. Period. It’s a real issue, and it’s particularly an issue out in an agriculture area because it is very frightening for animals.” ALISON NICHOLSON, Area E director

again, there was less havoc among the animals. “Because the ducks’ house is mobile, we were able to up and move them to the other side of the property,” West said. “We have sunk a lot of money into our farm and the animals. It’s our philosophy, too, that we try to give our animals the best life possible. When they have to go through this, it breaks my heart.” She said her animals were “slightly desensitized” to noise already because the property is located near the gun club range, “but not to having little bombs going off.” Nicholson said she has heard of the problem. “That was unfortunate, this Halloween. It’s been a concern. Kelly and her husband, Dean, brought it to my attention last January. There was a gap in the bylaw; nothing was said about livestock.” The CVRD acted on that by inserting the rule about 500 metres of separation. “We had that put in, it was based

on guidelines from, I think, the Horse Association of BC. It made sense. We got it in just before Halloween. I don’t think there was enough information out to the community about the change, though. But, that said, I think people were just ignoring the fact that they needed to have permits to let off fireworks. Period. It’s a real issue, and it’s particularly an issue out in an agriculture area because it is very frightening for animals.” Nicholson’s Area E also covers Glenora, another agricultural district and people there were also pleased about the change, she said. However, when she spoke to CVRD officials after Halloween she found there had been problems with fireworks. “He said it was ‘just crazy’ Halloween night. Apparently there were fireworks going off all over the place where they shouldn’t have, without permits. So, I think the CVRD needs to do more work on community education and enforcement on this one because it’s not good,” she said. One issue that also could be a factor is the current $100 fine. “I know that tickets were handed out on Halloween but whether $100 is enough to deter people, I don’t know. I know that the City of Duncan is concerned about fireworks as well. It’s certainly something on my radar. We’ll see how New Year’s goes, but there aren’t usually as many fireworks then.”

Family bringing some warmth to those in need LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

“These scarves and gloves are not lost. If you are cold and need them, please take,” says a little sign on warm winter wear hung at various places around Duncan. It’s an idea that’s been making the rounds on social media and a local family has decided to give it a Cowichan twist. “We saw it on Facebook and I said: ‘Why not do that here?’” said Trina Craven, when she dropped into the Citizen this week. “We want other people to do it, too.” So Trina, Nicky and Breanna Craven and David Liddle set about their task on Tuesday, Nov. 2. “Basically, we went to the Dollar Store and cleaned them out of scarves and mitts and tuques and those hot-pack warmer things. We put them in the gloves,” Trina said. “It’s good for people to have something warm to put on now that it’s getting cold at night. Nicky chimed in, smiling, “We

also went to Good Neighbours and cleaned them out, too.” Next they began attaching the warm gear, with an explanatory note, on poles around the downtown core of Duncan. “We put some by the homeless shelter, by the train station, by the food bank, behind the old Malaspina College by the bridge there, lots of places. We used a lot of bright colours so people would see them,” Trina said. They only hope now that other Cowichan Valley folks will take up the challenge and help people where they live, too.

• A luncheon was held at Providence House on Sunday, Oct. 25, to thank the Sisters of St Ann for their ongoing support of the work being done at Providence Farm. It was also a special thanks to the Sisters for their support of a proposed rental housing project to be developed on 35 acres of land subdivided from the farm. In 2009 a separate housing society, Providence Village Housing Society, was created to meet government requirements for non-profit housing. After several years of planning and discussion, Providence Village Housing Society is in the process of completing an application for comprehensive zoning on the property with plans to hold a public meeting later in November at Providence House. The date will be announced when confirmed. Plans and concept drawings will be available, along with architect Franc D’Ambrosio from Victoria, as well as other consultants. The Sisters of St. Ann came to the Cowichan Valley in 1864, starting an orphanage and girls school. They transitioned to a boys boarding school which closed down in 1964. In 1979, the Vancouver Island Providence Community Association began to lease the 400 acre property to provide a range of services for the disabled and disadvantaged. In 2009, the Sisters of St. Ann gifted approximately 380 acres to VIPCA. On Oct. 25, 2015, they gifted a 15 acre property on Donnay Drive to assist Providence Village Housing Society to do its work. • Parkside Academy Childcare Society will receive $39,661.70 in Child Care Major Capital Funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development to expand the number of child care spaces at Somenos school. Construction at the site began in July and the new programs will be added by January 2016. One of the new enhancements is to increase accessibility to the high-quality early learning child care. Currently, there are 12 spaces for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 at Somenos. The new funding will add an additional 10 spaces to bring the total number to 22 spaces for babies and toddlers.

• The Lake Cowichan Auxiliary to the Cowichan District Hospital’s recent fashion show was a huge success. “It was a sold out crowd and we netted $6,500,” a happy Carol Vogel reported. “That will go towards a piece of equipment at the maternity ward at Cowichan District Hospital.” Four local retailers presented clothing in the show: Fit for a Princess, Copper Lane, Scarlett’s Second Hand and Neiser’s for logging gear. “Neiser’s people were really good. They dressed four firemen who came out and gave quite a show, with lots of giggles, for the crowd. One young fellow especially.” In addition, there was a silent auction that brought in close to $2,000 of the final total. Attendees at the event also had the chance to win one of about 60 door prizes. “People are still talking about it, which is nice. And there were even people that wanted to go but were too late in buying tickets. This might be a message for the future about how popular it was,” she said. The event ended with a rendition of YMCA as a closing number by everyone who took part in the show.

“We thought at one point they might fall off the stage; there were so many of them,” Vogel said. The Lake Cowichan auxiliary has about 40 members and some of their folks help out at the H.A.T.S. thrift store in downtown Duncan. Members from some other hospital auxiliaries on the Island also attended the event. • The BC Forest Discovery Centre is delighted with the response to its recent Halloween Train. “We had over 7,100 visitors over the course of the event,” said administrative assistant Carol Miller. “Sales in the concession and gift shop were excellent and the feedback from our visitors has been fantastic, many saying that it was the best Halloween Train yet.” Helping out with the effort this year were: Knights of Pythias — acting and train narration; Duncan Lions — parking; Save-On Foods — trick or treat station; Queen Margaret’s School — pumpkin carving and acting; Kathy White Dancers — graveyard dancing; BCFDC and HooHoo Club volunteers — conductor assistant, crossing guard, parking, concession, schoolhouse and more.

Trades students help restore school spirit VANCOUVER ISLAND UNIVERSITY: Group joins ‘outpouring of community support’ by building new garden shed MARILYN ASSAF SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

A community pulling together to create something positive — that’s the outcome of a sad situation in the Cowichan Valley. Trades students at Vancouver Island University are the latest group to come to the aid of students and staff at École Mount Prevost Elementary School who were devastated when someone chopped down several trees on school property. Matt Melgaard, instructor in VIU’s Residential Building Maintenance Worker program (RBMW), says his class of 18 students will build a new garden shed for the school. Melgaard and the students are helping to repair school spirit. On Sept.30, the day of the annual Terry Fox Run, students and staff at École Mount Prevost arrived at school to find 12 trees on school property destroyed, including several memorial trees. The trees had been planted just last year as part of a playground project undertaken by the school’s Parent Advisory Committee. Fundraising efforts included $125,000 from the 2013 Aviva Community Fund, which was used to build a school playground and community park. Mona Kaiser, a member of the school parents’ group and coordinator of the project, said 30 trees were planted to create a welcoming community space. “We had a number of trees that were purchased by kids themselves who donated their birthday toonie-party money, their lemonade stand funds, their own savings,” said Kaiser. “So it was understandably devastating when they arrived at

VIU Trades and Cowichan Secondary dual credit students Ray-Ann Wilson (left) and Micheal Casey, will help build a garden shed to raise the spirits of students and staff at École Mount Prevost Elementary School after several trees were chopped down on school property Sept. 30. [RON NUNWEILER PHOTO] school to see so many trees destroyed.” News of the destruction circulated quickly, but kind-hearted community members like Kelvin McCulloch quickly put a plan into action. McCulloch, chief executive officer at Buckerfield’s Country Stores, offered to pay the cost of replacing 10 deciduous trees. He also offered to donate funds to cover the building supplies for a school garden shed. “I was told the parent group had poured the foundation for a garden shed during playground construction, but ran out of money to complete the building itself,” said McCulloch. “So I said, why not build the shed now when you are replacing the trees?’ We had a whole school of unhappy children and really needed to replace those bad memories

with something good.” McCulloch’s act of kindness sparked others in the community to step forward. Bernie Dinter from Dinter Nursery (south of Duncan) offered to replace an ash tree that he had contributed when the trees were originally planted. Randy Beggs from Apex Landscaping agreed to pay the cost to bring the deciduous trees over to the school from Speciman Trees, a tree supplier in Pitt Meadows, which helped reduce the total cost. Dan’s Precast also offered to move the completed shed from VIU’s shop to the school for free. McCulloch is elated that apprenticeship students from VIU’s RBMW program will also pitch in. “My students are building a little town for the BC Forestry Museum’s annual

Christmas train display,” says Melgaard, “but as soon as that’s done, we’ll start on the garden shed. It’s a good project for my class, similar to building a small house, with roofing, walls, and doors.” Melgaard says it’s a project the students can take pride in, knowing that it will brighten the smiles of everyone at École Mount Prevost school. VIU’s Trades programs have a long history of helping with community projects and the instructors see great value in authentic learning partnerships that improve the lives of others. McCulloch adds that the outpouring of support is “the community way” in Cowichan. “When things like this happen, the whole community pulls together,” he says. “It’s heart warming for everyone.”

Last month during Community Living Month, the Clements Centre Society launched its seventh Annual Sock Drive. The goal this year is to collect 2,015 new pairs of socks, which are then given back to others in the community who can use them. Socks have gone to many agencies in the Cowichan Valley in the past, including Cowichan Lodge, Margaret Moss Health Centre, the Salvation Army, Warmland House Shelter, and the North Cowichan Fire Department. You can donate socks for all ages and genders. Debbie Oliwa of the Clements Centre (250-7464135 ext. 226) can provide more information or arrange to pick up any donations. Cash donations that can be used to purchase socks are also accepted.

“SPECIALISTS SERVICING VANCOUVER ISLAND”

The Cowichan Valley Branch of the Council of Canadians is screening a new film inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller This Changes Everything on Nov. 8. The film of the same name presents seven portraits of communities “on the front lines” from Montana’s Powder River basin to the Alberta tar sands, the coast of South India and Beijing. “Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better,” says a press release for the event. “The film is intended to be a useful organizing tool for people on the front lines battling for social and climate justice. It will leave you refreshed and inspired.” The film will start at 2 p.m. at the Heritage Hall of the Island Savings Centre in Duncan. Entry is by donation.

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. 4 – 466 Trans Canada Hwy, Duncan, BC V9L 3R6 250-701-0399 | cdhfoundation@shaw.ca

MUSINGS of a Magpie Mind (Bits and pieces of history, travel and trivia, collected over the years by Bill Greenwell)

“Wilful wallaby wanders the Big Apple!” Pets and their people.......from bouncy to bizarre.

he Sunday morning before polling day, I was sitting riffling through our newspaper and bemoaning the fact that Canada had been subjected to week after week of tedious electioneering bombast, during the longest run-up to voting day in our political history. But I was cheered by the thought that on the morrow, some of the interminable media coverage would grind to a halt, because the actual results would at least spare us from further speculation by the pollsters and the pundits. I flipped the pages for something worth reading and discovered a little ray of sunshine. It was contained in a brief news item which told me that “Buster”, a pet Australian marsupial, had bounded over his fence and hopped off to find adventure in downtown Staten Island. The cops were called in of course, and they saved the day. So the incident ended happily, because nobody decided to take a pot shot at the bouncy import, despite the fact that a large percentage of the citizenry down there seem to be quite heavily

armed. Such reports concerning errant pets and the people who lose them are appearing more frequently in the media, so I figured that a little investigation on my part might produce sufficient light-hearted fodder for this column. My editor Andrea agreed, and even approved the original headline I had in mind. But on reflection I realized that “Sex and the single rabbit”, though catchy, might seem a rather cheap way to get your attention, so I discarded it. Instead I’ve introduced a touch of alliteration, which usually produces groans from all and sundry, especially from my wife, who vets this stuff before I send it in. Because pet rabbits had been a big part of my preschool days, alongside “George”, my ancient tortoise, I figured they all might merit a mention. Old George was with us for years and years, but sadly we couldn’t find him when I came home from the army. He’s probably still alive somewhere, munching his lettuce and enjoying a slow, stressfree and pensive existence. You never see a tortoise in a hurry; perhaps that’s why they seem to live forever. But let’s get back to reality and rabbits. As one of the youngest in the rural household, (to

which I was evacuated from the bombing on Tyneside), I was given the job of feeding the hens and looking after half a dozen hutches. Those gentle little animals were so tame and friendly, but I was warned not to get too fond of them, because they weren’t really kept as pets. Rabbit pie was a welcome change from mostly meatless meals, though the folks always made sure that I wasn’t home when the terminating deed was done. Around that time the government encouraged us Brits to scoff newly-introduced whale blubber as a nourishing alternative to bully beef. But the stuff really didn’t catch on, though we were assured it was considered a delicacy by Arctic families. Our dogs of course loved it, and they invariably ended up with my share. The various households where I’ve lived over the years have always had their mix of cherished pets — puppies that surprised us by growing into something we didn’t expect, in size or in shape, nonchalant cats that tolerated us with mostly lofty indifference and of course a motley collection of hamsters, guinea pigs, tropical fish and some lovely songsters in ornate cages. I’m still fond of German roller canaries. Their song brightened many mornings.

But being ordinary people, we didn’t indulge in extraordinary pets. Admittedly I took whatever current pooch we owned with me to the office every day, whether it was one of our Schnauzers or the Doberman. The dogs enjoyed it. So did my staff and as dog sitters weren’t in vogue way back then, we couldn’t leave them at home. Occasionally I’d encounter a local wag with a parrot on his shoulder who lived nearby, and I remember recoiling a little when a visitor to the office proffered his pet skunk, de-scented of course, for me to stroke. But we were never confronted by anything spectacular, nothing like that energetic New York

kangaroo whose adventure prompted me to start looking for info on strange pets. What I found is worth retelling. Which celebrity owned a leopard? Which monarch loved horses? To be continued... Bill Greenwell prospered in the ad agency arena for 40 years in the U.K. and Canada. He retains a passion for medieval history, marine paintings and piscatorial pursuits. His wife Patricia indulges him in these interests, but being a seasoned writer from a similar background, she has always deplored his weakness for alliteration. This has sadly had no effect on his writing style, whatsoever.

Robert Blake James December 17, 1940 - November 5, 2008

Paul Rathwell was born in Victoria, grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, then returned to the west coast, settling in Duncan and never looking back. He attended the Ontario College of Art, then qualified, worked and taught for many years as a respiratory therapist. Paul retired prematurely due to ill health but remained active in volunteer work. He was particularly dedicated to his work with Toastmasters and the Canadian Cancer Society. Paul was an eccentric, artistic and ornamented presence in the Duncan community. He was known for the breadth of his knowledge, which he shared freely. Those who knew him in his later days might be surpised by the grace, athleticism and gymnastic talents that marked his younger life. Paul is loved and remembered by his sister, Mary Jane, nieces and nephew Shelagh, Haley, Kaitlyn, Kelly and Don, sister-in-law Karen and dear friends in the Cowichan Valley. He is survived by his son, Banyon Rathwell.

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our loving husband, father and brother, Art. He left us gently on Saturday, October 17, after a long and courageous battle with declining health. We all loved his wonderful sense of humor and creative imagination. He left us many paintings, songs and stories (Puppydogs and Pussycat Stew, Barney the Boozin’ Beer Bug and Bon in the City), a few fine pieces of handmade furniture, garden benches and his famous pop bottle rocket! He had a great love of nature and science, introducing his children to camping early in life. He enjoyed campfires at his cabin and in his final years, just looking at his lake and the ducks that visited it. His working years running Mueller Renovations and prior to that, electroplating, were a source of satisfaction to him. He leaves behind his wife Dixie, son Dan (Holly), daughter Caren (Terry), stepchildren Brooke (Tom) and Brandon. brothers Ernie (Robbie), George (Rosemary) and sisters Irene, Margaret, Heidi (Garry), grandchildren Dustin, Heather, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Jacqueline, great grandson Lucas and beloved dog Bonnie. He will be sorely missed. A celebration of Art’s life will be held on Saturday, November 14, 11am - 4pm (potluck lunch) at 5389 - 4th Ave in Tsawwassen. For directions please phone 604-313-7731.

The family of Roy Rosenlind would like to thank everyone for the love and support shown to us during the loss of our loved one. We deeply appreciate all the hugs, phone calls, delicious meals, flowers and cards which gave us comfort during this sad time. A special thank you to those who attended his Celebration of Life service this past Sunday, your presence was a great encouragement. Roy will be forever missed but we know that he will live on in the hearts of all who share our grief. Please accept our deepest appreciation and warm regards. The Rosenlind family.

RICHARD JAMES CARROLL November 18th 1925 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 28th 2015

ichard (Dick) passed away quietly at his oceanfront estate with both his much loved wife Irene & daugther Marla at his side. Richard and Irene were united in marriage April 8th, 1950 in Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. Survived by his younger brother Laurie & his cherished grandchildren Andrew, Cameron, Kira & Michael. Predeceased by his eldest daughter Lori Ann(2012), mother Elizabeth (1990) & father Orton (1959). Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last day was just shy of picture perfect for him. Opening with engaging conversation with his valued golf buddies over coffee at The Ridge, moving on to an active afternoon working on one of his many outdoor project commitments & closing with a relaxing evening watching an old time cowboy movie on TV. Richard was a very respected & charismatic business man. He held the position of Electrical Manager with Commonwealth Construction Ltd (Hume & Rumble Ltd). He was responsible for numerous challenging multi-million dollar projects within B.C. As well, huge electrial contracts throughout both North & South America, including areas as far away Egypt. Richard, Irene & their two young daugthers moved from the city comforts of Victoria to the unknown rural living of the Cowichan Valley in 1963. This began his devotion to his role as Gentlemen Farmer of Greentrees Ranch (4158 Hillbank Road, Cowichan Station). His achievements were the breeding & showing of championship Herford cattle, Throughbred horses & Corgi dogs. Admittingly this was an amazing environment to raise his family. He valued his influence & guidance offered to Angus Izard & family during their time at the ranch with this trememous bond & connection lasting his lifetime. Richard served in the Canadian Navy during WWII. His final mission was to Hong Kong in 1945 aboard the HMCS Prince Robert to facilitate the release of Canadian POWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. During his youth he developed a strong passion for competive sports. He was passionate about fly & ocean fishing & participated in the Port Alberni Tyee Fishing Derby for years. He was a long time member of the Gorge Vale Golf Course & after retirement joined the Arbutus Ridge course. Richard was a healthy, high energy man until his day of passing. Always showing an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm with every undertaking. He did not suffer fools well & always encouraged others to be the best they could be. He will be deeply missed by all his surviving family & friends. No funeral service will be held at Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. A Private Family Gathering is planned for the near future.

IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Memory of

Edward Allan Sander May 20, 1950 - November 7, 2006

A passion for teaching, activism, and advocacy led her to family and community studies at Douglas College. Shirley became a child counselor for juvenile offenders, and taught in alternate schools for teens. She worked the rape/crisis lines at WAVAW, and led workshops on feminism, diversity and unlearning racism. Her engagement in these areas led to co-authoring the book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speak Outâ&#x20AC;? on stopping child sexual abuse. She was proud to have been featured on the Diversity poster that was displayed throughout Vancouver, and in news articles about her projects. Shirley didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just adopt popular causes. She was a leader and pathfinder who raised public awareness to injustices before some of them even had names (size, ageism, and ableism among others). Shirley mentored others in the politics of change, and proactive ways to effect that transition. The question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whose interests are being served here?â&#x20AC;? would guide her endeavors. In later years she continued to enjoy swimming, being a Spirit Drummer, traveling with friends, and enjoying visits with the Chemainus Adult Day Program women, and forming special relationships with the visiting hummingbirds. Heartfelt thanks go out to the many people who were there when she needed them: The Crofton Volunteer Fire Department and Paramedics; the CDH Emergency staff for never giving up hope when things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always look so good. Thanks to Dr. Fei Yang TCM), Rob Whittome, Cecil, Tom Roozendaal, and to Christine Baker, who helped Shirley to stay as independent as possible. Thanks to the staff of 2 South, and to Karen and Bruce for their support. Join us for a celebration of Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life with a sharing of memories on Tuesday, November 17th from 1-3 in the Cowichan Cultural Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverwalk Cafe (Note: parking & handicap access is available). Shirley will be laid to rest in the family plot at Mount Royal Cemetery, at a later date. Condolences, and reflections may be added at the website: sandsduncan.ca For Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy, extend a helping hand to someone who needs it. In lieu of flowers, donations in Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name may be made to the charity of your choice.

Shirley loved life with a passion and enjoyed sharing stories, and laughs with her many friends. She had a smile for everyone and a vibrancy that would lift anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirits. She loved partying with her Red Hat groups, participating in T.O.P.S., the Spirit Drummers, swimming, listening to jazz, baking, playing with her dog, traveling, and watching Bonanza with Cecil.

Thunderbirds take Island field hockey crown FIELD HOCKEY: Valley

clubs succeed in earning provincial tournament berths KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

As expected, teams from the Cowichan Valley took the top three spots at the Island AAA girls field hockey championships last weekend. Cowichan Secondary edged past Shawnigan Lake School in a tight race for first place, while Frances Kelsey placed a close third. All three teams locked up berths at the provincial tournament, which they are teaming up to host later this month. The battle for first place came down to the final game of the fiveteam round-robin tournament, which also included Mount Douglas and Oak Bay. A tie would have been enough for Shawnigan Lake’s squad to lock up the Island title, but Cowichan managed to hold off Shawnigan’s second-half onslaught to win 1-0. “It basically came down to points for and against,” Cowichan coach Perri Espeseth said. “If they had tied us, they would have had one more point, but we won, so we had one extra point.” The teams were well-balanced during the first half, but Cowichan scored on a quick counterattack after Shawnigan missed on a penalty corner, with Grade 11 player Kyla Birch putting the ball in the net. Shawnigan came out strong in the second half, but couldn’t find the equalizer. “I’ve never seen them play so well,” Shawnigan assistant coach Kelly Koepp said. “Cowichan couldn’t get any-

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] where near the 50-metre line for the last 15 or 20 minutes,” Koepp added. “We had about five huge chances to score. The girls just need to learn how to reward themselves.” Espeseth was pleased with the way her team played against the physical Shawnigan squad. “I was really proud of the way the girls played,” she said. “They do a lot of man-to-man marking, but we were able to match it. We came out with a lot of confidence. We started the game with a lot of intensity, which I think helped.” Although they finished second and secured a place in provin-

cials, there was still a tinge of disappointment for Shawnigan. “It was heartbreaking, because it was in our hands to win the tournament,” Koepp said. The Frances Kelsey Breakers were a close third after tying Cowichan and losing to Shawnigan on a late goal. “We expected that result, so we’re happy with that,” coach Ali Andersen said. “It was so close once again. It was who showed up to each game that decided who won.” Kelsey tied Cowichan 2-2 on a short corner at the very end of the game. Even though time had expired,

“They do a lot of manto-man marking, but we were able to match it. We came out with a lot of confidence. We started the game with a lot of intensity, which I think helped.” PERRI ESPESETH, Cowichan Secondary coach

the short corner, which was called in the final seconds, still had to be played. Cowichan led 2-0 and looked certain to win, but with about seven minutes Ander-

sen switched her lineup around “for fun,” and it worked. “It was very exciting for the girls,” Andersen said. “It gave them the confidence boost they needed. The bounces don’t usually go our way, so it was nice to have the tides turn a bit.” The game was also a learning experience for the Cowichan Thunderbirds. “That kind of set the girls back a bit,” Espeseth said. “It showed them that it’s not over till it’s over.” Shawnigan beat Kelsey 2-1 on an admittedly ugly goal in the last minute of the game. So ugly, in fact, that Shawnigan apologized to Kelsey afterwards. “It should have been our game, but we had a momentary lapse,” Andersen said. Cowichan’s standouts included Emma Dame, Sara Goodman and captain Sophia Murray. “Sophia has moved into centre midfield, and she’s doing a very good job of it,” Espeseth said. Maria Murray continued her season-long trend of improvement at the Island tournament, and Annika Kleinschmidt also stood out on a Shawnigan team that isn’t built around stars. “The thing about our team this year is that there is no one main player,” Koepp said. “This really is a team effort.” In addition to perennial standout Hannah Craig, Kelsey also got excellent play from Julianna Cross and Grade 9 rookie Rayanne Pearson. “She played with such passion,” Andersen said of Pearson. “Her stick skills are starting to develop to match up with the older girls.” All three Cowichan Valley teams are hosting the provincial championships at Shawnigan Lake School and the Cowichan Sportsplex next week, starting Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Piggies play ‘best game of year’ in win over Nanaimo KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Piggies played what head coach Gord McGeachy called “probably our best game of the year so far,” last Saturday as they defeated the Nanaimo Hornets 25-13 at home. “We’ve been working pretty hard the last few weeks on our fitness,” McGeachy said. “We’ve been working hard at practice and we’ve hit a good level of fitness, and that’s starting to show through in our game.” The Piggies were also ready to play their own game, rather than responding to what their opponents did. “Probably moreso than any other game this year, we were prepared for what we were going to focus on ourselves and not what Nanaimo was going to do,” McGeachy said Cowichan started well and had Nanaimo under pressure, but suddenly ended up trapped in their own end and the Hornets got on the board first. Five minutes later, Dan James scored Cowichan’s first unconverted try, and five minutes after that, Andrew Gudmundseth kicked a penalty goal to give the Piggies an 8-5 lead. A minute before the first half expired, Robbie McDonnell went over the line to give Cowichan a 13-5 edge at halftime.

The Piggies had been playing against the wind in the first half, so they tried to play a possession game, which worked out even better than they expected. “We were hoping to keep it close, so to come out of that with an eight-point lead was pretty pleasing,” McGeachy said. “We tried to do a little more kicking in the second half; we tried to open up the game a little more.” Ten minutes into the second half, Jenner Teufel scored to give the Piggies an 18-5 lead. The Hornets answered back 10 minutes after that, but Gudmundseth went on a solo run to score and converted his own try to close out the scoring. Peter Budina appeared to score a final try for Cowichan with 10 minutes left in the match, but the linesman made the unusual judgment that he knocked the ball on while setting it down, and called it back. The Hornets used that call as inspiration to battle down the stretch, but the Piggies weathered the storm and held on to their 12-point advantage. Cowichan did score four points to get the bonus point in the standings, which pushed the team into first place in the Times Cup North Division with league games left. The Piggies will play an exhibition game against Comox this Saturday at 1 p.m.

Hat trick propels U15 Lightning to victory KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Sam Baxter scored three times and Denton Macdonald added a pair as the U15 Mid Island Lightning defeated Vic Field 2 8-3 at the West Shore turf on Oct. 31. Victoria got on the scoreboard first with the only goal of the opening quarter, and the teams traded goals in the second quarter. The second half was Mid Island’s time to shine, however, as they scored three times in the third and four in the fourth, while Vic Field had just one more goal in the third quarter. Tyler Smith, Brody Black and Gavin Spencer rounded out the scoring for the Lightning.

The Cowichan Timbermen mounted a strong comeback against the Victoria Spartans last Sunday, but couldn’t quite close the gap as they lost 21-12 to their Island rivals. The Spartans held a 13-0 lead at halftime and added a rouge and another touchdown early in the second half to go ahead 21-0 before Cowichan got going. “We finally capitalized on our ability to move the ball,” head coach Opie Williams said. Quarterback Braemon Conville went on a run to get to the one-yard line, where Kain Melchior was able to punch the ball in as the fourth quarter opened. Melchior went on a run of his own, taking a punt return 80 yards to the red zone, and this time Conville ran it in untouched.

Garion Ferguson had a pair of interceptions on defence, and Trevor Wright stepped in at cornerback. The offensive and defensive lines both played well, with Cameron Vanderleek, Justin Young, James Dennis-Orr, Ryan Haywood and Logan Swanson stepping up on offence, and Young, Dennis-Orr, Tyler Campiou, Wyatt Faickney and Jonas Joseph matching the effort on defence, with some assistance from Vanderleek. “We were short a lot of players due to Halloween festivities,” Williams noted. “We only had 20 to start and 19 quickly after that. We are looking to have everyone out to the game this weekend.” The T-Men will head to Comox this Sunday for a rematch against the Comox Raiders. The bantam Cowichan Bulldogs, who had to forfeit their game last weekend, will visit the Cloverdale Leopards.

Black was called up to the U18 team the next day, and scored four goals, including three in the third quarter as they were topped 9-7 by Pacific Rim. Mid Island led that game 4-3 at halftime and 7-6 after three quarters, but Pacific Rim surged ahead in the final quarter. Thomas Vaesen, Colton Lidstone and Black’s fellow call-up Caleb Nordstrom also scored. Nordstrom also added a pair or assists. Defender Mathieu Jung had to make a spot start in goal when the regular goalie was unavailable, and kept his team alive as the Lightning showed marked improvement over their last meeting with Pacific Rim, a 10-4 loss.

Cubs draw with Bays KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

DCS third in home tournament KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan Christian School Chargers beat Gulf Islands Secondary to claim third place at the tournament hosted by DCS and Cowichan Secondary last weekend. T h e C h a r g e r s p r e va i l e d 22-25, 25-13, 17-15 to win the bronze-medal match, taking the top result among local entries in the tournament. DCS finished atop their pool in round-robin play, then beat Chemainus in the first round of the playoffs before falling to the eventual champions from Credo Christian in the semifinals.

After placing third in their pool, the Cowichan Thunderbirds beat Queen Margaret’s School and John Barsby to reach the consolation final, where they were beaten by Ladysmith to finish 10th overall. Chemainus Secondary placed eighth in the final standings, Lake Cowichan was 13th, Brentwood’s B team was 14th, and Queen Margaret’s finished 16th. The all-star team included Danielle Groenendijk from DCS, Lindsay Elzinga from Cowichan, Jessica Roe from Chemainus, Avi Ursulom from Lake Cowichan, Brentwood’s Deborah Chima, and QMS’s Heather Barry.

A more determined effort allowed the Cowichan Cubs to eke out a 1-1 tie with Bays in the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association last Sunday. “We played much better soccer with a little more aggression and desire,” coach Marilyn Pugh said. Bays opened the scoring, but Cowichan tied it up when Benecia George scored off a scramble that followed a corner kick by Seleana Jack. Pugh felt the Cubs were fortunate to give up just one goal. “We were lucky once again because Kerynne Bain made numerous g reat saves for us,” she said. “Our defending seems to be our struggle right now — not just our defenders, our defending in general. There is too much jumping in and over-committing so the opponent easily dribbles around us. We need to learn how to defend, how to jockey, how to force them to the outside rather than giving up our middle.” Pugh noted that Amanda Sidhu played a “fabulous game” in the middle. The Cubs will visit Vic West FC at Finlayson Park this Friday.

Valley runners first and third in Island senior girls cross-country KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Runners from Valley schools took the first and third spots in the Grade 11/12 girls race at the Vancouver Island cross-country running championships at Beaver Lake in Victoria on Oct. 28. Cowichan Secondary’s Desirae Ridenour finished first in the race, while Madison Heisterman of Queen Margaret’s School placed third. A Grade 10 student, Heisterman opted to move up a level for the Island championships. In the same race, Renee Lafreniere and Sarah Lundy of Brentwood College School placed 14th and 15th, respectively. Brentwood finished second in the team competition. Frances Kelsey’s Katie Farley won gold in the Grade 10 girls

race, with her teammates Emerald White and Robyn Zinkan not far behind, in fifth and sixth, leading Kelsey to a first-place team finish. Brentwood had two top-10 finishers, with Morgan Woodbridge in seventh and Hannah Richards in 10th. Also from Kelsey, Robin deValk Zaiss placed seventh in the Grade 9 girls race. Three runners from the Cowichan Valley finished in consecutive places in the Grade 11/12 boys event: Luke Armstrong of Cowichan Secondary in 13th, Jeremy Kissack of Kelsey in 14th and Kaali Allan of Brentwood in 15th. Qualifying runners will compete at the provincial cross-country championships at Jericho Beach Park in Vancouver this Saturday.
