LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

From those worried about the loss of marshland and fish habitat, to those angry that their homes are now in a newly created 200-year flood plain, 350 residents gave the Municipality of North Cowichan and other panelists a piece of their minds at a big public forum Sept. 27 about the possible effects of the new diking being placed around Somenos Marsh. The Somenos Marsh Society booked the huge Cowichan Theatre and emcee Tamara Leigh thanked the big crowd who took time on a Friday night to come

out and discuss the subject. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure, one of eight onstage panelists, told the crowd, “We know we’re involved in a controversial issue. The more opinions, the better. We’re here to listen.” One group demanding to be heard was the residents of nearby Seine Road and Quamichan Park. Beth Crawford, speaking for those homeowners, went straight to the heart of what is worrying them. “We’re deeply concerned about our homes and the parkland,” she said, telling Lefebure and a group of North Cowichan officials who

were also there to answer questions that her group had been formed out of “frustration and fear” at the way they’ve been treated by the municipality. “Due to the diligence of a couple of neighbours in the early part of the summer, the residents of Seine Road and Quamichan Park discovered our homes were under the new 200-year flood level. This change occurred without any notice or any consultation,” she said. Their homes backed onto a park, Somenos Creek and a cornfield in the agricultural land reserve. The cornfield has been “effectively eliminated”, the dikes are

closer and higher and “the privacy and peace we once had” has been affected, Crawford said Of great concern is the future of homes that are now within the newly created 200-year flood plain, Crawford said. “We are in a no-win situation. It’s caused a great deal of anxiety.” Later in the evening, North Cowichan engineering manager Clay Reitsma said that the municipality was in the process of contacting all those residents about their situation.

Howling winds cut power to thousands

CAR SNAPS HYDRO POLE

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Nearly 5,580 customers in the Cowichan Valley were without power at some point on Sunday and you can thank the first big fall storm for that. Strong winds blew through the region and the result was tree after tree taking out power lines. The largest single outage, Sunday, came when just over 2,400 customers were left in the dark about 7 p.m. That outage was restored by 9:45 p.m. Just over 1,265 customers north of Elford Road, south of Cobble Hill Road, east of Monastery Road and west of Telegraph Road were out from 5:50 p.m. through to about 9:15 p.m. as well. Those two outages anchored a host of others, including small groups in the 4200 block of the Trans Canada Highway, the 2700 block of Worthington Road, the 4900 block of Cowichan Lake Road and those in the Phipps/Colvin/Riverside Road areas, who were affected anywhere from 4:30 a.m. right through until early Monday morning. Vancouver Island Hydro spokesman Ted Olynyk called the storm an anomaly. “We don’t expect stuff like this until November. This is not a typical storm for September,” Olynyk said Monday, just three hours after all of the power was restored

By 10 p.m. crews had restored power to all but about 600 customers within the CVRD and by 6 a.m. Monday morning everybody was back on the grid.

Court rules against commercial crematorium SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Regional District is pleased with the BC Supreme Court victory last week against a commercial crematorium in Sahtlam but maintains the Sikh community is more than welcome to carry on with its religious traditions in the region. While a ceremonial cremation facility at 4695 Cowichan Lake Rd. was permitted to operate for many years, the court found last week that the Paldi Khalsa Diwan Society’s change to a commercial crematorium in 2011 contravened the P-1 (Parks and Industrial) zoning and was thus not permitted. “I am satisfied that a commercial crematorium is not permitted within zone P-1,” Justice Lance Bernard wrote in his Sept. 26 reasons for judgment. “I am not persuaded that it can reasonably be maintained that a crematorium fits within the ordinary meaning of ‘institution’,” he wrote. In August 2010, the Diwan Society applied for a building permit to construct a modern, gas-fired crematorium on the site they’ve owned since the mid-1960s. Their wood-burning operation, they said, had grown obsolete and the CVRD’s understanding was that use of the wood-burning oven would be discontinued. The group was granted permission and went on to construct the new oven as well as to prepare for a second high-tech cremator. With no conspicuous clues, the CVRD and neighbours were later shocked to learn the facility was quietly being used commercially and in contravention of the land’s zoning.

FLAMES ERUPT AFTER CRASH

“...things changed dramatically for the local community when the facility began being used for commercial purposes.” ROB HUTCHINS, CVRD board chair

The CVRD wanted it shut down; the Society wanted to keep it running. The issue could not be resolved without the courts. In his reasons for judgment Bernard said, “It is clear from the whole of the evidence that the CVRD was willing to accept the wood-burning crematorium, and what it understood to be its gas-fueled replacement, as a non-conforming use, taking into account: (a) that the wood-burning crematorium pre-existed the zoning bylaw; and, (b) that the crematorium was a rarely used aspect of some religious rites performed at the temple,” he wrote. “This was a concession which, as I understand it, the CVRD is still willing to make.” It’s a victory for the CVRD according to board chair Rob Hutchins. “We are very pleased with the court’s decision. We have always welcomed the Sikh community’s continued traditional crematorium use, however, things changed dramatically for the local community when the facility began being used for commercial purposes,” he said. “It is important that the CVRD uphold its land use bylaws and processes so we can provide certainty and assurances to property owners and the community at large about what can and cannot happen on lands in a neighbourhood.”

PROPOSED INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW NO. 3081, 2013 The Council of the City of Duncan hereby gives notice, in accordance with Section 59 of the Community Charter, of an opportunity for citizens and businesses to make representation to Council with respect to the proposed "INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW NO. 3081, 2013". The purpose of this Bylaw is to create one business licence fee for qualified mobile businesses doing business in one or more participating municipalities; thereby eliminating the need for businesses to purchase separate business licences for each municipality in which they operate. As an example, if a contractor is based in Duncan, the contractor is required to have a Duncan Business Licence; currently, if the contractor wished to do business in Parksville or Qualicum, the contractor would need to also purchase business licences in each of these municipalities. Under the proposed bylaw, a business would still purchase a Duncan Business Licence, but would only have to purchase one additional licence at a cost of $150.00 which would enable a business to do work in all participating municipalities.

Dikes ‘strangling’ marshland From page 1 Cowichan has identified three affected homes and there are five others in the Rosewood area, all side by side, Reitsma said. Panelist and Cowichan Tribes biologist Tim Kulchinsky reminded the crowd that Somenos Creek actually flows both ways during high water and careful management is needed to ensure that “absolutely crucial” habitat for coho salmon in maintained. It’s also important to the Cowichan people as there was a village located near the site of the forest museum at one time. The other panelists were just as uncompromising. Phil Jennings of the Somenos Marsh Society said that the areas north and south of the new dike are not separate: they are still related to each other. He was the first of many to take strong exception to locating a new police station on the Marsh. Naturalist David Polster said he was worried that “degrading the watershed” would result in a loss of resilience in a sensitive area. “Don’t dike areas that don’t need protection, such as agricultural lands or flood plains,” he urged.

The Cowichan Agricultural Society’s Dan Ferguson was blunt, calling for “an attitude adjustment” on ALR development. “If it’s once put under pavement, we’ll never have the opportunity to use it,” he said. Biologist Brian Tutty had an equally straightforward message. “Salmon don’t vote,” he said and went on to explain that coho in particular must have the peace and quiet of the Somenos backwater to escape the rush of winter flooding. Questions from the public indicated the crowd was not happy that North Cowichan was trying to change Somenos Marsh. Glen Spicer said, “We’re strangling the Somenos Marsh with these dikes. Each council seems to eat away a little more of it.” Jennifer Lazenby worried about the effect on wildlife of both construction noise and the continued noise from the RCMP station and other concentrated development planned for University Village. Lefebure replied that getting a replacement for the RCMP station is the responsibility of the municipality, not the police, adding, “We own this site. There would be no additional cost. It has good access to a highway through a controlled intersection.”

Cougars spotted at Lake

His last day was with his kids

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

From page 1

Lake Cowichan has been buzzing the last couple of weeks about at least one cougar that’s been seen in the area. Facebook has been alive and BC Conservation officer Scott Norris said Friday that his office has also heard about the problem. “There’s been at least two sightings right in town that I know of, but we’re also hearing anecdotally of people who have seen them as well,” he said. “We get quite a few cougar sightings in Lake Cowichan. They’re often just moving through and don’t hang around town, generally speaking, but we do get quite a few calls in Youbou and Lake Cowichan, in fact all the way down right to Duncan,” he said. But, if you haven’t seen one, that doesn’t mean the big cats that are sometimes called pumas or mountain lions are not out there, according to Norris. “Remember, cougars want to stay hidden. They don’t like to be seen so they try not to be seen. People who do get to see them are usually lucky unless they are that unlucky person that gets attacked. And those people usually don’t even see them either until they are on their heads.” Should residents of likely areas do something special to avoid them? “Move to Toronto! No, I mean they are always going to be around and all you can do is be vigilant and be cautious when you’re in the woods and don’t let little kids run off by themselves a lot, keep them close by,” Norris said. He had some simple tips for dealing with a cougar if you encounter one. “You want to talk in a calm voice, you want to pick up any small kids, you want to make yourself look large so hold your hands above your head, and make sure the cougar knows you are dominant, that you are not prey. Obviously the cougar’s approaching you, you should be getting to a safe location if you can or picking up sticks, rocks, whatever you can to deter that cougar from coming closer. “Never run from a cougar. Back away slowly. Don’t stare it in the eyes, just back away slowly but the key is never to run because

to work when the tragedy happened. He spent his last day with his kids having a picnic.” Descoteau leaves behind four young children: Austin, Steven, Isabella and Kaleb. “He deeply loved his family and he treasured every minute he spent with them,” reads his obituary. “Dustin was at a very happy place in his life and experienced more in his 29 years than most do in a lifetime.” The fatal incident occurred about 11 p.m. on Sept. 25. “Mr. Descoteau was the driver and sole occupant of a flat-deck pickup truck, which went off the Coquihalla Highway and rolled down an embankment about four kilometres south of the Inks Lake exit south of Kamloops,” Interior Region

that triggers that instinct that you’re prey and they’ll chase,” Norris said. “It’s definitely not easy to do, but there have always been circumstances where this might happen. There will always be cougars in the area. They’ll come to the edge of town or even into town because there are lots of deer around. They’ll follow their favourite prey around. Last week, when I was up there investigating one of the sightings, right where the person indicated the cougar had been, there were two deer sitting there. And that was right in town.” Conservation officers have so far not seen the animals themselves in Lake Cowichan; they are just going by reports that have come their way. “But, there definitely could be a cougar around town. We haven’t had any sightings reported to us since last week so it may have moved on or it could be just staying secretive like cougars usually do,” he said. The chances of seeing them drops as autumn’s early evenings close in. “Daylight is shrinking now. We usually get more sightings in summer because it’s light for so long. People are outside, the cougars are moving around more in a time when they are likely to be seen. Now, it’s different. They are most active between dusk and dawn so now that dusk is seven o’clock instead of 11 o’clock, the chance of people seeing them goes down but they are still around. They’re generally not interested in people as prey but as you might have heard recently there have been two attacks on the Island this summer: north of Campbell River and Floors Island near Tofino,” Norris said.

Coroner Larry Marzinzik said in a press release. “Mr. Descoteau was deceased at the scene.” Details are sparse because police will not comment about the case, but an RCMP media release shortly after the incident suggested Descoteau had been northbound in a 2002 Ford F-350 pickup. It said he was in the passing lane when the truck drifted over onto the left shoulder. Descoteau tried to reposition the vehicle on the highway but it skidded across two lanes and struck the cement highway barrier. The impact caused the truck to jump the barrier and roll down the embankment several times. The RCMP release also noted Descoteau, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle.

OUR VIEW

Grant funding shouldn’t be popularity contest e’re seeing it more and more here at the Citizen newspaper. Groups are requesting us to urge people to vote for them — on Facebook, or some other online venue — so they can beat out the competition and get a grant. This seems to be the latest way that organizations are deciding who they’re going to give cheques to, and we’ve seen everyone from the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre to schools hoping for playground funding caught in this popularity contest. This is not, in our opinion, the

way that grant money recipients should be decided. While we are happy to help community organizations, as the ones we’ve heard from are certainly all worthy causes in need of the cash up for grabs, we think there’s a certain amount of abdicating of responsibility by the donors in question when they turn to online voting to make their decisions for them. Because that’s what they’re doing. We certainly don’t envy them their jobs in trying to decide which of the cash-strapped nonprofits, charities and commun-

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

ity projects most deserve their money. I’m sure now, more than ever before, they are deluged with an avalanche of applications from hopefuls to whom even a couple hundred bucks is a lifeline. But come on, just throwing up your hands and turning it over to the masses is not the way to do it. We think that merit should play a larger role. Surely these organizations had to submit applications that explained their project and its repercussions on the public. And while it can be argued

that community support for an endeavour is an important criteria, online voting is a notoriously poor way to gage said support. Surely it is not the only criteria, either. Sometimes the projects that can end up having the biggest impact are not the flashy ones that will catch the public’s evershifting eye. Not to mention that online voting tends to favour larger communities (more people to vote), groups with a younger audience, and/or a group with lots of family and friends who can be prodded to make a few clicks.

Sometimes we read articles in the paper that just makes our heart sink, or least I do! Such as animal cruelty someone shooting a cat with a pellet gun for no apparent reason or a young life cut short way too early, even if I never met the person in the news. This week it was the latter for me. Parents are not supposed to bury their kids, not their 13year-old about to start Grade 8. I found that news about the poor girl struck by two cars in Duncan heart-wrenching and really hard to swallow and apparently so do a lot of other people. Seems she was well-liked judging by the Facebook comments mentioned in the paper. My condolence goes out to the family and friends of 13-year-old Selena N. Joe though I never met her. May her soul rest forever more in heaven!

Some of these online polls even encourage people to vote as often as they can, rather than one vote, one person. What kind of useful results could any organization get from using such a method? While considering some online voting (a demonstration of community support) as part of your method to determine grants could be useful, it shouldn’t decide the whole shebang. We’ll continue to let folks know when and how to vote for groups in our community who face this kind of thing, but we hope it’s a passing fad.

Love and support from two communities much appreciated Words seem inadequate to express our sincere gratitude and deep appreciation to all our friends, family, neighbours and the community for your overwhelming outpouring of love and support. The tremendous generosity shown to us from all of you is absolutely humbling. Your gifts of meals, sandwiches and sweets were wonderful symbols of your friendship and meant so much to us. The beautiful flower arrangements added a bit of brightness to our days, making them more bearable.

Your visits that began each day at 9 a.m. and continued throughout each day gave us strength as we shared the loss of our friend together. The cards, full of your kind and loving messages, help make it easier to get up each morning to face another day. A heartfelt thank you to all the professionals who provided services and donations and helped plan the service: Pat and James of Haywards Funeral Home, Liz Anderson for conducting the service, Michelle Severn and the Community Gospel Church, Barry and the Farmers Institute for stalling the Fall Fair organizing to allow us the use of the facility, Charlotte and Mike at Thrifty Foods for the flower arrangements and donations, the

Waldes of Fresh Coast Catering, Paul and Country Grocer, Mike and Colleen of Sidney Bakery for the wonderful desserts, Duncan White Spot for hosting a fundraiser and Hans Stoffelsma and family of Arbutus Grove Nursery for donating seedlings to be planted in memory of Ryan. We are so very fortunate to call Salt Spring home and to be surrounded by such a caring community. Ryan was lucky enough to be a part of two communities — the one we lived in and the one he worked in. We would also like to thank Mt. Sicker and the logging community, the Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey Association and all our friends in the Cowichan Valley for your kindnesses and sym-

pathy; there are no words that could express the depth of our gratitude. Ryan was a wonderful husband and father and we are grateful for the time we had with him. He will always be with us in loving memories. Thank you so very much for your expressions of love and sympathy. Chelsea, Isaac, Garrett, Mackenzie and Heidi Burch and the Byron family

The E&N tracks at Cowichan Station look abandoned. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

E&N funds should be concentrated I was saddened to read the article ‘Things are not standing still’ on Island Corridor, CVRD told. Being a founding member of the Island Corridor Foundation it appears the fallback position and emphasis is now on trails. Efforts to fund the upgrades to the corridor are falling on deaf ears, and equally to blame, the foundation is not clearly stating how a measly $15 million will do the job that previously $100 million plus was identified as needed. If the $15 million is all that is available then a better plan needs to be put in place and it should be an incremental one. Take the money available ($15 million) and concentrate those funds in an area that has the most chance of success namely the Western Communities into Victoria. The $15 million is more than enough to do any upgrading necessary to run service on that part of the line. With success there, one can then move upIsland a section at a time and expand and improve the service and opportunities one step at a time.

Smart meter objections all just rhetoric The letter from Annette Lampson had me thinking, please, not again. When will people get past this? Ms. Lampson, the only way out for you to avoid a smart meter or a fee to read an analogue meter is to take yourself off the grid. Find your own sources of power because if you don’t then BC Hydro is your only alternative and, yes, they do have the right to impose a fee if you opt out of a smart meter. Read the legislation and realize they can pull your meter and you will have no hydro at all. I would object to BCH burying a surcharge in my bill to subsidize the decisions of those who opt out. All decisions in life have consequences. Pay a fee or have your service terminated. Having taken the time to research smart meters and sorted out the biased science from the unbiased, smart meters are less an issue than the average cell phone with one distinct difference. We won’t be holding a smart meter to the side of our heads any time soon. Unless those opposed are prepared to give up their cell phones, their wireless phones, Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices, their microwaves etc. then all this rhetoric about smart meters is just that because these devices are more a problem than a smart meter. However, let’s think outside the box. Ontario has had smart meters for some

There are municipalities and individuals ready and willing to support and assist that kind of effort and once success is achieved further opportunities will emerge. We have a valuable people-moving opportunity that is not being handled properly. I would recommend that the federal and provincial governments, as well as the regional districts, who have put forth funding initiatives, insist on this incremental approach so that viable transportation opportunities can be clearly identified and built on over a period of time. Opportunities should also be given to various other types of operations and operators, such as tourist trains, to run on the line which would provide additional sources of revenue. This is not rocket science, just using a little common sense to build a reliable, viable and supportive operation or really multiple operations in this case. Multiple operations are necessary to ensure the viability of the rail corridor. Let’s get on with it, PLEASE! Jack Peake Lake Cowichan

time. They bill at three levels. Off Peak at 6.7 cent/kwh, Mid Peak at 10.40 and On Peak at 12.4. The blended rate is 8.45. The mid and on peaks periods shift with the seasons. (www.ontario-hydro.com/index. php?page=current_rates) My friends have found that they can adjust their consumption quite easily to take full advantage of the off peak rates without disturbing their lifestyles. Dishwashers get delayed starts. Laundry is done in the evenings or weekends. Kids shower at night. It isn’t difficult. It just takes some thought. Smart meters help manage this. BC Hydro charges tier 1 at 6.9 cent/kwh and tier 2 at 10.34 and a blended rate of 8.62. It is inevitable the smart meters will lead to a similar system as Ontario so ask yourself the question. If you break you tier 1 and tier 2 usage down to the same periods Ontario uses how much can you save off your current bill? More to the point, how much can you offset the bills you will be getting once this 26 per cent increase in hydro rates is imposed over the next three years by using technology to manage your consumption? Model your consumption and look for savings opportunities. By doing so we will reduce consumption and make the resource more viable in the long term. Can we please get by this issue? It would be appreciated. Alex Currie Chemainus

As per Section 890(4) of the Local Government Act, the Cowichan Valley Regional District Board of Directors has reviewed the above noted bylaw and found it to be consistent with the policies of the Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Of¿cial Community Plan No. 1490, therefore, the Public Hearing has been waived and the Board has directed that this Public Notice occur in its place. Bylaw No. 3728 received ¿rst and second reading at the July 31, 2013 CVRD Board meeting. NOTICE is hereby given that the CVRD Board of Directors will consider reading a third time and adopting the above noted Amendment Bylaw at the regular Board meeting of October 9, 2013. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3728 proposes to amend Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Zoning Bylaw No. 1840 by deleting the list of permitted uses presently in the Heavy Industrial (I-2) Zone (summarized as follows): (1) auction grounds; (2) automotive repair, sales, body repair, painting, wrecking, storage, salvage; (3) café, restaurant, take out service, catering; (4) clothing and garment manufacturing, laundry, dry cleaning, repair and storage; (5) contractor’s workshop, yard and storage; (6) electric and electronic equipment manufacturing; (7) equipment repair, sales, storage and rental; (8) feed, seed and agricultural supplies, sales and storage; (9) food and candy products manufacturing, storage, processing, packaging, frozen food locker, cold storage plant, but excluding ¿sh cannery and abattoir; (10) industrial processing, manufacturing, repair, storage and packaging; (11) kennels for the keeping, boarding, raising, training and/or breeding of cats and dogs and animal hospital; (12) laboratory; (13) lumber and storage yards, sale of wholesale and retail building supplies; (14) modular or prefabricated home structure and truss manufacturing and sale; (15) parking garage, recreational vehicle storage and sale; (16) processing and sale of gardening and landscaping supplies and materials; (17) publishing; (18) retail and wholesale sale of petroleum products and accessory storage of petroleum products not exceeding 455,000 litres; (19) secondary processing and manufacturing of wood products, including the making of cabinets, furniture, plywood, lath and particle board and similar products; but excluding sawmills, pulp and paper mills and log storage and sorting; (20) recycling, sorting and storage of substances or materials, including in-vessel composting; (21) warehouse, including mini-warehouse, freight handling and storage; (22) welding shop; (23) retail sales accessory to a principal use permitted in Section (1) to (22); (24) dry land log sorting; (25) forest products processing, milling, and storage, excluding pulp and paper mill; (26) manufacturing, processing, repair, treatment and storage of products, materials, fabric or compounds; (27) of¿ce accessory to a principal use permitted in Section (1) to (22) and (25) and (26); (28) one single family dwelling per parcel accessory to a principal use permitted in Section (1) to (22) and (25) and (26). and replacing the above list with the following list of permitted uses: (1) Dry land log sorting operation; (2) Sawmilling; (3) Storage and maintenance of forestry machinery and equipment; (4) Uses customarily incidental to forestry operations; (5) Single family residence; (6) Buildings and structures accessory to a permitted use. The purpose of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3728 is to bring the list of permitted uses into compliance with the Cowichan-Koksilah Of¿cial Community Plan. If Zoning Amendment Bylaw 3728 is adopted, the range of permitted uses on the two parcels that are in the Heavy Industrial 2 (I-2) Zone would be considerably narrowed; however, single family residential use would become permitted as a stand-alone use under the proposed amendment, something that is not permitted in the present I-2 Zone.

Consort looking for crop of soloists LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

If you’re a choir singer in the Cowichan Valley, you may have already heard that the Cowichan Consort is performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony this fall. Now, the group is looking for soloists for this massive event, scheduled for Nov. 16, and also for the Consort’s annual Christmas Favourites Sing-along concert Dec. 7. Both concerts will be held at the Christian Reformed Church in Duncan. What is needed for the Beethoven event are four soloists: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, who must be available for rehearsals with the orchestra and massed choir Wednesday, Nov. 13 and Friday, Nov. 15. For Dec. 7, the group’s Music Director and Conductor Robert Mari would like many soloists for selections from Handel’s Messiah, as well as popular secular

and sacred, modern, jazz and classical Christmas repertoire. For the past two years the Consort has showcased more than 10 soloists perform for this special community event. Not all have been adults, either. Auditions are scheduled for two successive Wednesdays, Oct. 2 and Oct. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Sylvan United Church in Mill Bay, and finally Saturday afternoon, Oct. 12 from 1-3 p.m. at Robert Mari’s studio in Shawnigan Lake. Consort accompanist Ron Killian will be available for all auditions. The Consort also needs more trombonists. There are three needed in the Ode to Joy movement in the Beethoven Ninth symphony.

Strength, agility and sheer daring combine in the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats show coming to the Cowichan Theatre Monday, Oct. 7 starting at 7:30 p.m. It’s been years since any troupe of China’s legendary acrobats came to Duncan and that was such a snowy night that only a small crowd came out. So if you loved them before or have never seen them, now is the time to get those tickets. This is indeed a special event, according to Brian Kroeker, publicist for the Cowichan Theatre. “They are amazing. We’re really proud to have it and we hope to have even more exclusive shows in future,” he said recently. Theatre manager Kirsten Schrader agrees. “We are delighted to be the exclusive Vancouver Island engagement for this world renowned Chinese acrobatic troupe. It’s a familyoriented show and we think it’s important to have that option in our seasonal lineup at the Cowichan Theatre,” she said. “It’s such a great opportunity to see a show of this calibre, right at home.” For more than 30 years, the amazing performances of the ShangriLa Chinese Acrobats have offered wonderful, high-energy entertain-

The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats promise a spectacular night of entertainment for the whole family. [SUBMITTED] ment for the whole family.

Their precision has been honed by years of training and discipline. It’s a multi-faceted and multicultural production and features dazzling acrobatic displays, formidable feats of daring and bal-

ance, explosive Kung Fu, brilliant costumes, and even a touch of Chinese comedy. If that sounds like a winning combination to you, hurry to get those tickets. They’re going fast.

Music weekend goes Romantic

YOUNG MUSICIAN OF THE WEEK

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

“What’s so Romantic about the Romantic?” ask the members of the Cowichan Valley Music Teachers group. They’re back with another of their autumn music history weekends and this time they’re featuring the Romantic period. There are workshops on singing, dancing and instrumental music with a windup concert evening. The event runs from Thursday, Oct. 17 to Saturday, Oct. 19. Everything takes place at St. Peter’s Anglican Church and Hall located just off Maple Bay Road. “They’re really fun and the price is very affordable,” according to Valley music teacher Susan Doughty. Sessions are planned for ages 11 and up, but all are welcome. If you have a music teacher or choir director, you can probably register with him or her, but if you don’t, it’s easy to email Marilyn Rummel at marilyn@harpcanada.com for more information and then to register. There’s an early bird price of $95 for the entire weekend but that’s only until Oct. 5. It’s also possible to attend individual workshops. Check out cowichanmusicteachers.com for all the registration information. As usual, a g reat g roup of experts is leading the sessions, including Bruce Vogt (piano), James Mark (strings), Susan

Nine points for top line as Isles get back on track KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Les Mann, who did last Saturday, played several key roles in Cowichan Field Hockey. [SUBMITTED]

Sports icon mourned DEDICATED DAD: Les Mann’s

contributions were many KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Tributes are pouring in for a longtime supporter of the Cowichan Valley field hockey community and dedicated father who died suddenly last Saturday. Les Mann, who served Cowichan Field Hockey as a coach and technical director for several years, had a heart attack in Victoria while watching his daughter, Miranda, play field hockey for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds — one of the things he loved to do. Mann was 54. His brothers, Chris and Brian, on behalf of the family, provided some insight into how much sports meant to him. “Les grew up with sports, at the supper table on TV, at breakfast, sports was always the topic of choice, so it was no wonder Les would make coaching it, his gift to the Valley,” they said. “Les started with school sports then moved into community sports, playing football, which he loved, plus he tried his hand at karate, lacrosse, snow skiing — anything with sports. Once he got his Level 3 in coaching, he put it to good use, coaching minor football and then women’s football, taking several teams to championships. “He met his wife Lana in the midst of his journey to becoming a great coach, and they had two children, Miranda and Colton. Les would coach Miranda and her friends for many years in soccer, field hockey and indoor hockey, taking them to many provincial championships. “Les believed commitment was everything and he was committed in whatever he did, from building two homes, to work, to his family and friends. His newest challenge was working with his son Colton on his musical journey, which meant sound

“Les believed commitment was everything, and he was committed in whatever he did, from building two homes, to work, to his family and friends.” CHRIS AND BRIAN MANN, Les’s brothers

rooms, equipment, voice lessons, band members, and like coaching, Les was involved to the max. “We are all going to miss Les for his enthusiasm, for life and all the things we can accomplish in our time here.” Mann first got involved in field hockey when Miranda started playing, coaching her teams from the U13 level on — a group that sent several players to post-secondary teams, including Miranda. He was also involved in the building of the turf field at the Cowichan Sportsplex, doing extensive research into what the surface required. “He was a big part of what we have now,” said Kara Joyce, current president of Cowichan Field Hockey. “Most of all, he was very dedicated to both Miranda and Colton.” Cowichan Secondary School head coach Jen Budding knew Mann through both the high school and community programs. “Les was a big supporter of field hockey in the Valley,” she said. “He was a passionate dad who wanted the best for his kids. He gave back to the community by being involved in the Cowichan Field Hockey Club. He helped coach many athletes in the Valley whether it was in the indoor or outdoor game. He and his contributions will be missed by those in the field hockey community” Denise McGeachy, the president of the Vancouver Island Ladies Field Hockey Association, has asked teams to take a moment of silence prior to their games on Oct. 5 and 6 to honour Mann.

A road game against the Oceanside Generals may have been just what the Kerry Park Islanders needed to get back on track in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. The Isles rebounded from tough defeats a week earlier to thump the Generals 5-1 on Saturday night in their only contest last weekend. “The boys responded well to the two losses,” said owner Mark Osmond. “They stayed disciplined and played to more of their potential. It was a good game. We actually showed how we can play.” Leading the way for the Isles was the line of Alex Milligan, Braedan Cross and Corey Peterson. Milligan recorded a hat trick and one assist, Cross had a goal and two helpers, and Peterson chipped in with two assists. Cody Short scored the team’s other goal. David Bittner had two assists and Matt Osmond added one. In goal, rookie Leighton Williams stopped 24 of 25 shots to earn his first junior B victory in his third game. “He played an excellent game,” said Osmond. “He made some excellent saves when we needed them.” Williams’s fellow netminder, veteran Jackson Jane, retrieved the game puck from the referee and presented it to Williams in the dressing room.

Braedan Cross had a goal and two assists in the win over Oceanside. [CITIZEN FILE] “That was a classy, classy thing on Jackson’s part,” said Osmond, who noted that the move was typical of the Isles’ team mentality. “Everyone is looking to help everyone else out.” The Isles will visit the Westshore Wolves on Wednesday and the Saanich Braves on Friday before playing host to the Peninsula Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. “We’ve played all three of those teams, and the games have been close,” said Osmond. “We had a big lead against Westshore. If the boys play like they did against Oceanside, there’s no reason we can’t put some wins together.”

Caps drop three on tough Interior trip KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Capitals’ return home was delayed Sunday when ferries were cancelled because of the weather, prolonging what had already been a difficult weekend. “It was a pretty trying road trip, but there are no excuses,” said head coach Bob Beatty, whose team went 0-3 on the trip to the Interior. “Things didn’t go our way. We had two one-goal losses in games I thought we could have been successful in.” The Caps fell 3-2 to the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday, were shut out 5-0 by the Penticton Vees on Saturday, and were edged 4-3 by the Merritt Centennials on Sunday. The first game saw the Caps create plenty of chances, only to miss out repeatedly. “We weren’t sharp,” said Beatty. “We had quality scoring opportunities, but we didn’t bury the puck.” The Caps fired 34 pucks at Trail goalie Dustin Nikkel, but were denied 32 times, with only Mason Malkowich and Kyle Horsman able to convert their chances. Robin Gusse stopped 20 of 23 shots in the Cowichan net. Things weren’t as bad for the Caps on Saturday as the score indicated, particularly in the opening 20 minutes, said Beatty. “We didn’t have a bad first period,” he said. “We were out-shot, but I didn’t think the puck possession time was that different.” The Caps generated just 18 shots on Olivier Mantha’s net. Gusse faced 26 in the Cowichan end, and the five that got past him were a season high. “We gave up a couple of powerplay goals, and that will happen if you go to the penalty box with these guys,” said Beatty. At Merritt, the Caps tied the score three times in the third period only to see the Cents pot the deciding goal with 43 seconds left.

Fracy finishes third in Canadian trials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Mason Malkowich finished the trip with a goal and two assists. [CITIZEN FILE] “That was a real heartbreaking loss,” said Beatty. “It’s a difficult way to end a road trip for sure.” The Centennials won a late faceoff in the Cowichan end and put the puck on the net where it fooled screened goalie Francis Marotte. “They know how to play in their rink,” Beatty acknowledged. Blueliner Taki Pantziris scored two goals against Merritt, and Myles Powell had a goal and an assist. Steen Cooper had two helpers. Marotte turned aside 38 of 42 shots. The Caps have an important weekend coming up, visiting the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday, then hosting another divisional opponent, the Powell River Kings, at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Finally, they host the West Kelowna Warriors, who are tied for the league lead, at 2 p.m. on Sunday. “It’s a pivotal weekend for us,” said Beatty. “We can’t change what happened last week, but we can refocus and start over.” The team expects to get injured defenceman Jarrett Brown back this weekend. Forward Adam Moody is still a couple of weeks away from returning.

At just 17, Shawnigan Lake’s Matt Fracy finished third in Canada riding at the top level in the sport of motorcycle trials. Fracy rode his Beta Evo 300 in four of the six stops on the national championship schedule as he clinched third place, including two stops in B.C.: the Shuswap region, in May, and Port Moody’s Ioco site. The season isn’t quite yet over, and Fracy will be pushing to beat out the other two top riders in Canada in local Victoria Motorcycle Events. In addition to the events in B.C., Fracy

attended the first four U.S. national stops in New York and Vermont, taking four thirdplace finishes in the high school class. “It has been a very good year for Matt and the whole team, and many plans are already being made for next season,” said his dad, Steve. Helping Matt to his impressive season were his many sponsors, including Mountain Motorcycle Ltd., American Alloy, Tryals Shop-Boyesen Reeds, TrialsCanada, R2wtrials.com, Outlaw Trialsport, and Opti 2.

Martin guides United to Div. 2 victory KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

With his own Division 1 team on a bye week, Glen Martin was happy to take the reins of Cowichan’s Div. 2 squad last Friday in the absence of their usual coach, Neall Rowlings. The arrangement worked out favourably for both sides, as Martin coached Cowichan United to a 3-0 win over former league leaders Gorge. “The boys played well,” said Martin. “They have a good starting lineup, the same lineup from the week before, and they are gelling well. They looked like a solid unit. It was pretty impressive.” The victory was Cowichan United’s second in a row, and moved them to fourth in Div. 2, just back of Gorge. Jordan Korven scored the first two goals of the games,

breaking a scoreless draw late in the first half, then doubling the lead midway through the second half. Jose Muro rounded out the scoring with a goal off his chest with about 10 minutes left to play. Darian Achurch wasn’t busy in the Cowichan net, but fended off any Gorge scoring chances. Martin remarked about how close the teams in Div. 2 are, compared with Div. 1, where three or four teams tend to dominate the pack. “That league is so tight; the way teams beat each other is unbelievable,” he said. “There is a lot of parity.” Martin will be back behind the Cowichan FC bench next Saturday when his team visits Prospect Lake. The Div. 2 squad will be at home that day, hosting Westcastle on the Ladysmith turf at 6 p.m. Like our page for photos and breaking news: facebook.com/ CowichanCitizen

Numbers painted a rosy picture of logging in 1928 From page 10 own output, this concern handles the towing and loading out of all logs from the several companies which dump into Cowichan Lake. Two tugs work day and night, using two crews. At the foot of the lake is the loading-out trestle, containing two tracks and two cranes. Mr. Dave Madill [another famous name in logging] handles the loading under contract and 20 men are employed. On April 16th a record was made when 99 cars were loaded in 7 hours 15 minutes, the crew then running out of cars. The logs, loaded direct onto [E&N] cars, go by this route to Crofton, where the booming is done by Elco, with Mr. Gordon Mallory in charge of a crew of 15 to 20 men. During March 14 million feet of logs were boomed by this crew. The Crofton Booming Co., with Mr. Harry Patterson in charge, handles about 1 ½ million feet a month, shipped down by the Island Logging Co. Ltd. The product from all the other lake camps is boomed by Elco. The extensive operations of the Cowichan Lake Logging Co. Ltd. are carried on under contract by Mr. Gilson and Mr. Wade McCoy, with a personnel of 195 men. Three Ledgerwood skidder sides are running, with a monthly output of about 8 ½ million feet. The 1927 output totalled 70 million feet. There was a two-week shut-down in July and another at Christmas. The logs were hauled by locomotive to the lake for dumping. Ten cars and a gasoline donkey were added to the equipment last year. Youbou Sawmills, Ltd. is run under contract by Mr. Frank Bevan, Extension, B.C., and Mr. Wm. McIntyre, Vancouver, with Mr. Deboe as mill manager. Two shifts are run, employing some 70 men and turning out about 1 ½ million feet a month. The mill ran continuously in 1927, with but four weeks’ shut-down, and turned out 15 million feet. A new engine and new boiler were added to the equipment. A feature of the operations at Camp 6 [Caycuse] is the life safety campaign which is a good example of the movement in this direction among all lumbering concerns. There are five first aid men scattered throughout the camp’s work, all of whom are paid extra for first aid service. In addition there is a revolving committee upon which everyone serves in turn, the appointments being made at general “safety” meetings, which are well attended. The committee’s duty is to meet each week, discuss ways and means of making the work safer, and call attention to any defects in work or equipment. In general the campaign is directed towards making the men “accident conscious.” Bulletin boards record accidents, and their reasons; and “safety” posters are displayed around the operations.

“A feature of the operations at Camp 6 [Caycuse] is the life safety campaign which is a good example of the movement in this direction among all lumbering concerns.” COWICHAN LEADER, 1928 look at forest industry

The McDonald Murphy Logging Co. Ltd. ran through 1927 with a break of only two months, cutting a total of 50 million feet, an average of five million a month.

Mr. Neil McDonald is in charge of the woods operation and Mr. A.E. Munn, M.L.A., is secretarytreasurer. Two sides are operated, one slack line yarder and one high lead, and 120 men are employed. If market conditions warrant, the company’s output will be increased by 20-40 per cent during the latter part of 1928. Their present limits being nearly cut out, the company recently acquired Block 75 at Lake Cowichan, containing 600 to 700 million feet. (To be continued) www.twpaterson.com
