VALLEY MOMS JOIN THE BREASTFEEDING CHALLENGE

A cheerful group of moms gathers at Duncan’s busy City Square during market day on Saturday, Oct. 3 to take part in the annual cross-Canada breastfeeding challenge. The event, which has been held each year at several locations, is aimed at educating the public about the benefits of breastfeeding babies. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Duncan power moving underground SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

One of Duncan’s main drags could look noticeably less cluttered in the next year or so. City council set aside more than half a million dollars at their committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 5 to facilitate the relocation of utility

7209509

lines from above Canada Avenue to below.

“It’s something we’ve actually applied to with BC Hydro’s beautification program,” Duncan Mayor Phil Kent explained.

The program aims to help municipalities with environmental concerns to enhance visual aes-

thetics and while the money must be paid up front, some costs can be recovered.

Of the $540,000 council authorized, the City is in line to recover more than one-third from a local developer. The builders of Dakova Square (the new mixed-use building at the corner of Trunk Road

and Canada Avenue), will contribute approximately $225,000 as part of their development agreement.

A similar arrangement was undertaken with the developer of the new building on Kenneth Street.

“With any new development

that comes along it provides the opportunity to connect underground rather than overhead,” Kent said.

The City will pay for a third of the project and Hydro will also chip in.

Watering restrictions drop to level one What a difference a few weeks makes.

The Cowichan Valley’s local governments downgraded watering restrictions from Stage 3 to Stage 2 effective Sept. 18 but effective Friday and until the end of the month, Stage 1 restrictions are in effect.

The change comes due to “significant increases in water storage at Cowichan Lake, substantial reductions in water demand from municipal water systems and precipitation forecast well into the foreseeable future,” according to a joint press release issued by local governments.

The change applies to residents not just in North Cowichan but everyone in the CVRD including the Town of Lake Cowichan, Cowichan Tribes, the City of Duncan and Ladysmith as well as those in the electoral areas.

Stage 1 restrictions allow owners or residents of even-numbered civic addresses to water on even-numbered days between 6 and 8 a.m. or between 8 and 10 p.m.

Owners of odd-numbered addresses can water during the same hours on

odd-numbered days.

Folks can now wash their cars, boats, driveways and houses as well and garden irrigation permits are being issued where new sod or seed has been planted.

Hand watering of trees, shrubs, flowers, or vegetables is permitted on any day of the week between 6 and 8 a.m. or between 8 and 10 p.m. by use of a hose with a spring loaded nozzle or by bucket.

The new regulations also allow micro irrigation or drip irrigation systems to be utilized anytime to a maximum of four hours per day.

Commercial enterprises which require water to facilitate normal business activities such as power washing companies or window washing companies, are permitted unless ordered otherwise by the Director of Public Works.

“The Cowichan Valley local governments would like to once again thank all residents and commercial businesses for their water conservation efforts. It did make a difference,” said the release.

“We never really had the opportunity of experiencing the pleasure (and health benefits) of gardening,” Camley said. “The rewards have been great. We have met so many of our neighbours as they walk by and stop to chat and admire our gardening efforts or to borrow a book from our little free lending library attached to our fence.”

Long-time Duncan councillor Sharon Jackson sits on the environment committee and said she’s going to suggest that the coupons be handed out annually.

“I just think it’s a great idea and it gets people thinking,” she said. “There are huge benefits not just for humans but for wildlife as well.”

Jackson said studies show trees not only improve air quality but lower temperatures at well. “I know that for instance I’ve got three or four trees in my backyard and I know that my backyard is probably three or four degrees cooler than my front yard,” she said. “It makes a huge difference in the summer.”

Duncan’s urban tree strategy calls for 3,000 trees to be planted within city limits over the next 10 to 15 years.

“Obviously it’s not going to happen overnight. This is a beginning,” Jackson said. “The city doesn’t have to plant them all. People can go and buy their own trees.”

Two dozen new trees will be (or have already been) planted thanks to a small but powerful initiative by the City of Duncan.

In celebration of National Tree Day, the City’s environment committee handed out 25 coupons for $20 towards the purchase of a new tree at Dinter Nursery.

Not widely known, National Tree Day was Sept. 23.

Resident Cathie Camley used her coupon to plant a Japanese maple.

“When I saw the program and what it offered I was thrilled to take part in it,” Camley said. “We have rather enthusiastically over-planted every inch of our tiny front yard space and so [there’s] not much room for a tree. The ornamental Japanese maple tree we bought with the coupon is now planted in a sizable container on our front porch and will be my husband’s project to train it in a bonsai form...a hobby he’s always wanted to try,” she added.

The duo moved to Duncan from Port Moody five years ago but in their time together, they’ve always lived in townhouses or apartments and care of any gardens was done for them.

Until, that is, they moved to a tiny bungalow on Jubilee Street.

Savings available for switch to heat pump SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Want to save money on converting to a heat pump? Now is the time.

North Cowichan’s BETTER OFF program is offering residents a reduced rate pre-retrofit home energy evaluation and free post-retrofit evaluation and that, combined with a provincial incentive program and BC Hydro’s HERO offer, adds up to big savings for homeowners wanting to convert from oil to a heat pump.

Through the recently announced provincial program, up to $1,700 per home is available to B.C. residents but act fast because the offer is on a first-come, firstserved basis.

“These home energy improvements help our residents and our community to be ‘better off’,” North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said in a press release. “Through the BETTER OFF North Cowichan program, BC Hydro’s Home Energy Retrofit Offer (HERO), and now the Oil to Heat Pump Incentive Program, residents have a great opportunity to save money and assist us in achieving the community’s GHG reduction targets.”

Administered through City Green Solutions, a non-profit energy efficiency organization and partner in the BETTER OFF North Cowichan program, the program is actually funded through the Ministry of Energy and Mines’ Innovation Clean Energy fund.

Switching to heat pumps generally pays for itself quickly and can deliver a 20 to 40 per cent return on investment over the life of a heat pump system.

The affect on greenhouse gas emissions is also noteworthy — getting rid of an oil home heating system is equivalent to not driving your car for 15 years.

BETTER OFF North Cowichan is a community-based energy conservation initiative to improve the energy efficiency of homes in North Cowichan, help residents save money and reduce our community’s greenhouse gas emissions.

T his initia tive is par t of Nor th Cowichan’s award winning Climate Action and Energy Plan.

Visit www.northcowichan.ca/forms/ Better-Off-North-Cowichan.aspx to learn more about the heat pump and other money and GHG saving opportunities.

Fewer power disruptions DUNCAN POWER, From Page 1 Included in the project is the “undergrounding” of Telus and Shaw lines on Canada Avenue and along Government Street as well, further tidying up the scenery.

Aside from enhancing aesthetics, a bonus is increased resistance to power outages and other service disruptions.

“I think our goal ultimately is to, when we get opportunities to work with develop-

ment and utilities, to try and do it. It has the benefit of less chance of power outages but it also makes the visual community much more beautiful,” he added.

“I don’t think we realize just how distracting the overhead services are until they’re gone.”

With the wires moved underground, it also paves the way for more significant boulevards and bigger trees and various other potential enhancements to the viewscapes, Kent said.

Mill Bay church bringing in Syrian refugee family KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A small Cowichan Valley church is doing its part to help refugees from wartorn Syria.

The Mill Bay Baptist Fellowship is working to bring three refugees — a woman, her nine-year-old son and her mother — to settle in the Cowichan Valley.

The family is currently in Lebanon and are among 100 refugees that the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada are working with the Canadian government to bring to Canada. The government is screening the refugees overseas before they come to their new home.

“We’re one of the first four churches to go through the process, so we’re kind of fumbling our way through,” said Tammy Klassen, the pastor of family ministry at Mill Bay Baptist Fellowship.

The 29-year-old woman is a widow who lost her husband in bombings earlier in the war. Her mother, who is 58, lost her husband to a heart attack four years ago.

The family was chosen by the church from a list of 100 refugees that about 30 churches across Western Canada are trying to help.

“You have to pick quick, because they get snatched up quick,” Klassen said.

The church hopes to have the family of Sunni Muslims settled in the Cowichan Valley by Christmas. In addition to financial help, they will be providing plenty of other assistance to the trio.

English,” Klassen said. “She does have a Grade 12 education. They have both worked in housekeeping, so we’re hoping to line up jobs for them.”

In order to bring the family here, the church will have to raise $15,000. That’s a lot of money for a congregation that typically has about 60 members each Sunday.

“We’ve already raised about a third of it just through the church,” Klassen said.

“We’re doing okay, but there’s a ways to go still.”

Fortunately, there is a large window for the church to raise all the money.

“We’re sponsoring them for a year, and it doesn’t have to be all in our pocket before they arrive,” Klassen noted.

The church’s next public fundraising event is a bottle drive on Oct. 17. They will be collecting bottles at the corner of Butterfield Road and the Trans-Canada Highway from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Other fundraisers will be scheduled in the future as well.

The family they are helping may not share the Mill Bay Baptist Fellowship’s faith, but that doesn’t matter. What matters, says Klassen, is that they are in need.

“We just feel like our call is to help people,” she said. “If the people who need the most help are Sunni Muslim, we’ll help them.”

For more information on how you can help the church help the refugee family, call Tammy Klassen at 250-701-1794 or email rklassen5@shaw.ca

OUR VIEW

Should social media be sinking so many?

A

ll of the major federal political parties have seen one or more of their candidates forced to drop out of the race due to things they’ve posted on social media.

Right here in the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding Maria Manna resigned as the Liberal candidate after Facebook posts several years old surfaced where she questioned the official explanation of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Some of the social media gaffes have been more scandalous or upsetting in nature.

It’s pretty easy to understand

why the guy who urinated in the coffee cup, on video, at somebody else’s home where he had been hired to do a job became an undesirable to the Conservatives.

That one wasn’t social media, but instead hidden camera footage from CBC’s Marketplace.

Nevertheless, it’s still on-trend with technologies tanking hopefuls’ chances.

Then there was the guy making crank calls in Youtube videos that the Conservatives had to write off.

And the NDP candidate who called security fencing at Ausch-

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

witz “phallic” in a Facebook comment on a photo that had been posted.

And the Liberal candidate from Victoria who made controversial Facebook comments about mosques and Israel.

It’s all lifted out of context, of course, during an election campaign.

Most of these posts were likely made long before the people in question ever considered running for political office.

And the conversations they were a part of, with friends, online, take on a whole different tone when looked at months or

even years after the fact.

Consider how you would feel if there was a transcript available from every conversation you’ve ever had with those in your family and social circle — would you come out smelling like a rose? Or have you maybe said something in the heat of the moment that was ill-considered?

Off-colour? Or perhaps with the benefit of time, you’ve just changed your mind.

Or maybe, like Maria Manna, you just hold an opinion that isn’t in the mainstream (though we’ve heard plenty of others who share her view).

Social media is more and more providing that transcript of your life. Are future candidates going to have to answer for their teenage Facebook posts and tweets?

Some, like the pee-er, are an easy bye bye. With others it’s more of a grey area.

Are the voters really that unforgiving? Or is it the parties that are running more scared than they need to be?

Politicians shouldn’t have to have been saints from birth.

Let’s put away the sledgehammer when there’s just a few flies to swat.

Just because you don’t ride, doesn’t mean others don’t benefit In response to Mike Welsby’s letter on Friday (Bike lanes on Government not needed), as a family with a member who cycles that road twice a day, five days a week, I adamantly disagree.

We are a single income family living with a single vehicle, which most work days leaves my husband riding his bike to work and back. We live near Skinner Road and he twice daily uses Government Street to get to work. That route is a major artery to downtown and south Duncan for those of us living in our area.

Just last week while driving together, he commented on how he is finding his ride safer and more enjoyable after the bike lane completion, added signage and stencils making motorist aware of cyclists.

My husband has almost been hit a number of times over the past years, sworn at, cut off and disrespected by motorists in a hurry and unwilling to share the road.

I am grateful to the City of Duncan for making space for cyclists a priority to encourage others to ditch the car and bike, and making riding safer in the Valley for my husband and those who do likewise.

I would also add some perspective on those “rough ugly road areas” now exposed by

the removed traffic island. I think if we really think about it, choosing to make safer the road for ALL those who use it, as opposed to making it prettier, is the much better choice.

I think we can all live with a few small bumps and some mismatched paving.

So next time you approach a cyclist and experience that momentary “inconvenience” of having to slow until you can safely pass, take a breath and remember that they are your fellow humans, with families and people who love them and want them to come home safe.

Christy McClelland Duncan www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com

Over the past 50 years voter turnout at federal elections has slowly dropped from a high of 79 per cent down to 61 per cent in 2011. More and more eligible voters seem to feel that, however they vote, the resulting government will not fulfill all of those promises made during the campaign.

This election could be different. It is unlikely that any of the major parties will be able to form a government without forming a coalition with a smaller party.

With a few more seats in Ottawa the Green Party could be part of a new coalition and be able to influence our future.

To those who feel jaded by the personal bickering that has dominated the TV debates and don’t intend to vote, to the many people who have never voted, please take time to look at the policies of all parties.

I find that the Green Party has a non-confrontational approach which is refreshing and policies which give sensible solutions to the problems of our times.

I have supported the NDP for the past 25 years and worked in election campaigns with some great people, Jean Crowder, Libby Davies, Penny Priddy, all of whom did tremendous work in Ottawa. The urgent problem which has made me change my political colour is climate change.

It is only the Green Party who seem to realize that the future of this planet is more important than corporate greed.

I believe that Elizabeth May and Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi can take this message to the corridors of power.

Voters should leave emotion out of equation “I’m ready for change” letter (Sept. 30) by Joanna Lord suggests that “omnibus bills” are a new thing devised by the Conservative Party of Canada. The facts are quite different.

For instance in 1968 one famous omnibus bill became the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1968-69, a 126-page, 120-clause amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada, which dealt with issues as diverse as homosexuality, prostitution, abortion, gambling, gun control and drunk driving.

This was introduced by Mr. P. E. Trudeau of the federal Liberal Party.

The next omnibus bill also introduced by Mt. Trudeau’s federal Liberal government in its first budget after the 1980 election was presented

by Mr. MacEachan (finance minister) to the nation which included the National Energy Program (NEP) promoted

by Marc Lalonde (energy minister).

The NEP was one of the most sweeping and divisive government policies ever undertaken in Canada.

It was a unilateral attempt by the federal government to achieve energy security, by which was meant oil self-sufficiency; a redistribution of wealth towards the federal government.

Marc Lalonde later acknowledged the motive was what

Albertans had suspected all along: to transfer wealth from Alberta to central Canada.

The negative impact on the western provinces was immense and in particular on Alberta where real estate values shrank 40 per cent, bankruptcies ballooned for both small businesses and the general public, many of whom lost their homes.

The NEP was a disaster.

Little wonder the west still distrusts central Canada.

Joanna Lord exhorts us to vote for the NDP. Trudeau senior was a member of the CCF (the forerunner of the NDP) in the 1950s, and when he decided to get into federal politics he chose to join the Liberal Party of Canada.

Trudeau felt the federal NDP could not achieve power, and expressed doubts about the feasibility of the centralizing policies of the party.

The current NDP bent of mind is focused on Ontario and Quebec (central Canada). Its budget of bountiful increases in social spending and a balanced budget is fantasy — it is not plausible and it won’t fly.

I hope the voters will stop to think what they are voting for and leave emotion out of the equation. There are plausible options other than the NDP.

If it is correct that the CVRD justified its hiring of a communications manager by virtue of otherwise unexpended 2015 dollars, can we be assured that those otherwise unexpended tax dollars will not be included in their budget proposal for 2016? I suspect we know the answer. It is nothing

but smoke and mirrors and we continue to let it happen.

The Cowichan Valley, at seven per cent, leads any similar jurisdiction in tax increases. Elsewhere on the Island, municipalities are vilified for raising taxes by three per cent.

TPP makes it more difficult to protect environment Last Wednesday’s paper featured an article about a couple of resolutions recently adopted at the convention of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. The first one is resolution A5, an Environmental Bill of Rights which recognizes the “right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems”. The second, resolution B34, brought forward at the convention by the CVRD, asks the province and the Ministry of Energy and Mines “not to issue permits that contravene local zoning bylaws”.

Your article quoted Sonia Furstenau, CVRD director for Shawnigan Lake, saying the adoption of these resolutions has given her new hope “the plight of her community will not continue to be ignored by those with the power to create change”. I however, reading the piece, had a disconcerting feeling of living in a house of mirrors.

I have written to this paper before about my misgivings concerning the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal (TPP) which has just been finalized by the 12 nations it encompasses, including Canada. Throughout the years the TPP has been negotiated, the citizens of the nations involved have been kept in the dark about the points being negotiated.

The few bits of information we have are thanks to Wikileaks getting hold of certain portions of the drafts. Those few bits are worrying.

One of the more problematic portions of the TPP is the inclusion of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) model. ISDS allows corporations to sue governments if environmental, public

health or any other laws or regulations stand in the way of said corporation making profit. The settlement of such suits takes place in a private tribunal, completely outside the court of law of the country involved. Gus van Harten, professor at Ontario’s Osgoode Law School has said, under this trade deal, “U.S., Japanese, Malaysian, and other foreign companies would get a new power to sidestep Canada’s legal system by bringing a TPP lawsuit against Canada”, see www.rabble.ca, “Ten ways the TPP gives too much power to foreign investors.”

I would think an Environmental Bill of Rights or local zoning bylaws are exactly the kind of things which could hinder a foreign corporation from realizing the full potential of its investment and trigger an ISDS challenge. We in the South End already feel betrayed in the matter of the toxic soil dumping decision. The ISDS provision in the more recent trade deals negotiated by Ottawa, TPP and CETA, makes me feel even more powerless to protect my environment.

◆ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote King Harper back into power

bridge said Mulcair’s colleague called Mulcair “ruthless”.

Another writer recently for the NDP applauds Mr. Mulcair for his daycare strategy and that’s all it is, a strategy.

Peter Mansbridge asked him about ISIS. He complained about the King Stephen Harper wanting to be wise and protect all Canadians by taking 10,000 Syrian immigrants. Apparently Germany wanted more as they needed workers so they took a larger number of immigrants and now some are being turned away.

It was suggested by Mulcair that Canada take more than the economy could afford putting Canada into debt and undermining the economy and the surplus that the Conservative Party had worked so hard to achieve.

Peter Mansbridge said one of his colleagues said he was ruthless and he would do anything to become prime minister of Canada.

I read with interest the very long letter from Joanne Lord, Duncan, on (Sept. 30) re: asking people to vote NDP. She certainly did not have her facts straight.

Mr. Mulcair was interviewed recently on TV by Peter Mansbridge (perhaps she can see the video). Mulcair was asked how he was going to raise all the money to keep all his promises?

He was asked, What about daycare that he promised the parents of Canada? Peter Mansbridge cornered him into an answer.

Mr. Mulcair said he would do it in eight years.

Is he serious? Parents have it now for 10 years under the King Stephen Harper, but would have to wait eight years under Mr. Mulcair. In her letter she calls Stephen Harper “king”. However, in the interview Peter Mans-

After this interview, I certainly believe it.

Thursday, Oct. 1 on the news, it showed Mulcair in Quebec saying the first thing he would do is for the environment.

Pardon?

Isn’t this the same man, who wanted nothing to do with Ms. May of the Green Party?

Stephen Harper internationally has proved himself worthy of Canadians. He is honest, hard-working, loves Canadians and loves Canada. In no way has he shamed Canada.

Rex Murphy, graduate of Oxford University, on TV, Thursday, Oct. 1 agreed with Mr. Harper’s stand that the Muslim women taking their Canadian oath did not have a right to wear their face coverings. They should respect Canadian laws and customs.

I have never seen Mr. Harper or the Conservative government do anything shameful in his 10 years of office. Mr. Duffy and

others accused of criminal activity have to answer for themselves; they did not represent the government in their own choices. Anyone who was guilty of a misdemeanor was asked to step down.

Mr. Mulcair is not Jack Layton, the NDP party is not Jack Layton, the only party to vote for is Conservative and yes, put the King back in.

Another King is Wayne Gretzky who recently said Prime Minister Harper was an excellent prime minister and he was voting for him. I agree that Mr. Harper should be recognized and applauded for the enormous work he has done for the people of Canada, not criticized by the opposition.

Mr. Harper has been called a control freak but in essence it is true that he, being in leadership, is a good leader and the opposition can tell all the lies they want about him, but his 10-year term has done more good for

Canada than any other prime minister.

Our family is voting for the only man that can help Canada’s economy (he is a economist), protect Canada (us) from terrorists, and lower crime. He is a man of integrity and not a man like Mulcair or Trudeau trying to be prime minister, he already is and has proved his right to continue.

Measuring sticks make the point I think Mr. McDonald makes the so-called attack ad’s point when he uses Obama, Cameron, Trudeau senior, Mulroney and Clark as measuring sticks.

Alastair Haythornthwaite, left, Martin Barker, Luke Krayenhoff and Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi listen as Alistair MacGregor answers a question during the well-attended all-candidates meeting held under the auspices of the Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre Tuesday, Oct. 6. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Candidates tackle slew of tough questions LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

They did not hear a debate per se, but the huge crowd that filled the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre heard all the candidates vying for the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford seat in Ottawa answer a wide variety of questions.

The big theatre was almost full for the meeting and the session, organized by the Duncan-Cowichan Chamber of Commerce, was smoothly marshalled by moderator Wade Simmons.

He bluntly outlined the rules of the evening at the beginning and then clamped down hard on any candidate or audience member

attempting to sneak extra time for additional remarks.

There was no clear winner among the candidates and the audience, which drew heavily from the over-50 demographic, was polite for the most part.

An applause-o-meter would have noted that NDP hopeful Alistair MacGregor had the most supporters in the crowd, followed by Green candidate Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi. However, Conservative Martin Barker earned recognition by showing up for the evening, unlike some of his party colleagues in other ridings.

Questions ranged widely, coming from people at two microphones or in written form.

One questioner opined that MPs make high salaries and asked how the candidates planned to earn it.

Hunt-Jinnouchi quickly said that Greens were dedicated to working hard, without expecting extra perks, as personified by their leader.

“Elizabeth May walks right past her colleagues from other parties and flies coach. She has set the standard there,” she said.

The money was needed to help low income Canadians by providing a guaranteed “liveable” income, and raising the so-called poverty line from $20,000 per year to a more realistic $25,000 or $30,000, Hunt-Jinnouchi added.

On natural resources, MacGregor was firmly against processing LNG in such “a pristine space” as Bamberton and also said that shipping of raw bitumen abroad was counter productive to the country’s economy.

“Canadians aren’t getting enough value out of our oil as it is,” he said. He also got the strongest applause of the night when, asked when Canadians could expect a new health accord, he replied, “First, we need a prime minister who’s willing to sit down with the provinces.”

He also said he thought a national water policy was essential “or we will see a flood of climate refugees” and wanted to see repairs made to federal environmental acts he said the Conservatives “had gutted.”

Barker sometimes got the floor to himself and sometimes his answers separated him from the pack. Asked about homelessness, Barker said, “the issue is complicated,” and that often homeless people came from “very weak families” but then drew groans when he said such federal programs as income splitting would help.

Asked to comment on the Stop Harper Movement, Barker said, “Our country is unrivalled in the world because of Stephen Harper. Our country is reputable and well administered, it’s the best it’s ever been because of our Conservative government.”

Candidates were asked about the Long Gun Registry allowing Marxist-Leninist Haythorhthwaite to get in one of the best lines of the night for the seniors in the audience by claiming the Conservatives “had cut it up and buried it like they did with the Arrow”, referring to the scrapping of the famous Can-

adian supersonic jet developed in the 1950s.

Barker was just as firm on his opposition to the Long Gun Registry.

“We are not prepared to make our rural long gun owners register,” he said, adding, “but we need strong laws to deal with the criminal element.”

This week’s hot topic, the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement that sees Canada enter a long-term trade deal, has been front and centre in Cowichan and other agricultural areas, largely because of the worries of the dairy industry, which has been promised financial compensation.

Barker promised, “The prime minister said supply management will not be on the table. Forestry will get increased access to markets.”

Haythornthwaite wanted to “tear up these ag reements” which he said only benefitted corporations.

Krayenhoff said he wanted to see more detail before he commented but then added “water cannot be a part of this; it must be protected.”

All-candidates meeting set for Brentwood, Oct. 13 ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Those interested are asked to book their seats now for an all-candidates meeting to be held at Brentwood College in Mill Bay on Oct. 13.

The daytime meeting will run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Bunch Centre for the Performing Arts, and while admission is free, there are only 100 seats available.

Four of the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding’s five candidates will be in attendance: Conservative Martin Barker, the NDP’s Alistair MacGregor, Liberal candidate Luke Krayenhoff and Green Party hopeful Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi.

Marxist-Leninist candidate Alastair Haythornthwaite is not on the list to attend.

The format for the meeting will include three minutes from each candidate on key issues and portfolios; two targeted questions for each candidate from Brentwood students; a question and answer period with audience participation with some room for redirect and the day will conclude with a summary.

Book your seat at theatre.brentwood. bc.ca. No placards or advertising will be allowed.

If you’re interested in the event, but can’t attend, it will be livestreamed at www. brentwood.bc.ca/live

Hopefuls talk Israel/Palestine question CANDIDATES, From Page 10 He also said the agreement “ruffled a lot of feathers” in the agricultural community and that a Liberal government would to act to protect rural families.

Hunt-Jinnouchi took up the cudgels for farmers, saying, “these agreements undermine our sovreignty. Valley farmers don’t want handouts. They want to farm.”

A difficult question asked all the hopefuls what they thought of Canada’s position of standing by the government of Israel no matter what it did with Palestine.

MacGregor said that the Israeli mil-

itary presence was very strong and drew applause for saying that Canada, as a friend to Israel, “should be able to stand up and tell your friend when you’re making a mistake.”

Krayenhoff added that he wanted to see Canada return to its former status as a world leader in peace keeping.

Hunt-Jinnouchi said part of the problem is that people who speak up against Israeli “encroachment” in Palestine are immediately tarred as being anti-Semetic, when that is not the case. “It’s the big elephant in the room,” she said.

Advance voting is this weekend.

Green Party’s May stops in Valley for water commitment

Backed by the Cowichan Estuary, Green Party leader Elizabeth May (Saanich-Gulf Islands) stood with Cowichan-Malahat-Langford candidate Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi and Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate Paul Manly Monday morning to announce the party’s plan to defend and protect Canada’s water.

“There are many issues that have been ignored in this election campaign, probably none more so than Canada’s water,” said May. “There is no plan in place for Canada right now for how to adjust and adapt to ensure that water is conserved and preserved in the face of the climate crisis,” May added. “We need to protect it. We need to conserve it. We need to respect it. These principals underly the Green Party’s approach to water.”

Among the Green’s pledges are to reverse the radical changes to the Fisheries Act that were contained in the Harper government’s first omnibus bill, and invest $24 million a year in wild fisheries and rivers, and to reverse Stephen Harper’s changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, which delisted many of Canada’s lakes and rivers from protection.

“We only have 162 lakes and rivers protected in this country and none of them are on Van-

couver Island so it’s important that we recognize water,” Manly said.

“It’s a human right. It’s something that we need to protect.

It’s something that is very important for our communities and we’re going to fight in parliament to make sure that our water supplies are properly protected.”

A former First Nations chief, Hunt-Jinnouchi outlined the importance of water on aboriginals.

“I have always been raised knowing that water is sacred.

Water is life. It’s been the way that we have transported ourselves, gathered together for weddings, for funerals, even sometimes in battle,” she said.

“We are canoe ocean-going people. Water and our ecosystems and our estuaries are what sustain us. We can’t even discuss food security without first ensuring that we have water security.”

The Greens’ water protection plan aims to invest $800 per year into basic infrastructure for Canada’s First Nations, including drinking water and housing.

“I am ready to take on the important task of ensuring drinking water is safe on First Nations reserves when I am elected this fall,” Hunt-Jinnouchi said.

A 2015 Council of Canadians report revealed that of 169

drinking water advisories in 126 First Nation communities, 35 are in B.C. “It is a Canadian embarrassment that the vast majority of boil water advisories are on First Nations communities in this country,” she added. “This is a health issue that must be fixed.”

The plan also favours supporting international momentum for the human right to water by establishing a national, legally binding human right to basic water requirements for all Canadians both in quality and quantity.

Hunt-Jinnouchi also noted the multitude of other water issues right here in Cowichan that need attention.

“I stand here today making my commitment to work tirelessly to help support the protection of Shawnigan Lake, to ensure that we advocate for the funds necessary and the voice in Ottawa to protect the fish habitat and the water in the Cowichan River, but also out here along the coast in the Saanich Inlet, that we must stand in strong opposition to the floating LNG facility that can also prove to harm our oceans and our water,” she said. “It is our responsibility to be good stewards of Canada’s water.”

Canada has joined 11 other pacific nations countries in the creation of a controversial freetrade deal spanning from Japan to Chile called the Trans Pacific Partnership.

The partnership includes Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Japan, a group that makes up about 40 per cent of the global economy.

Dubbed “the most ambitious free trade initiative in history,” by Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, the deal aims to increase Canada’s foothold in the Asia-Pacific region by way of a comprehensive agreement.

“The TPP agreement will give Canada preferential access to dynamic and growing Asia-Pacific markets. Tariffs and other barriers faced by a wide range of Canadian products from various sectors will be cut; these sectors include agriculture and agri-food, fish and seafood, forestry and value-added wood products, metals and mining, and manufactured industrial goods,” said a press release issued by Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. “The agreement will also provide improved access in areas such as financial, professional, architectural and engineering, research and development, environmental, construction and transportation services.”

But not everyone is happy about it.

Many feel the negotiations have been anything but transparent. Others worry the deal has the potential to undermine the ability of governments to function effectively. Some fear a significant increase in pharmaceutical costs, while others still worry it will gravely affect Canadian copyright law. Many think it will place profits above all else.

The signing of the TPP comes with two weeks left before Canada goes to the polls, giving politicians lots to talk about as Oct. 19 draws near.

While Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party endorse the deal, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is leery. He said the talks have been too secretive and would be worthy of scrutiny if elected.

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership stands to remove trade barriers, widely expand free trade for Canada, and increase opportunities for our middle class and those working hard to join it,” he said Monday. “Liberals will take a responsible approach to thoroughly examining the Trans Pacific Partnership. The Harper Conservatives have failed to be transparent through the entirety of the negotiations — especially in regards to what Canada is conceding in order to be accepted into this partnership.”

The NDP came out opposed last week. In a letter to International Trade Minister Ed Fast, Tom Mulcair said his party would “not consider itself bound” to the deal if elected. He cited poor timing of the agreement so close to the election and his concerns about pain it will bring to Canadian dairy farmers and smaller auto parts makers.

Cowichan Valley Citizen

Local poll shows tight race SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The latest opinion poll has the NDP in the lead in the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding with just over a week to go until election day.

The telephone survey of 400 adult residents within the riding was funded by the Dogwood Initiative and One Cowichan and conducted by Insights West from Oct. 1 to Oct 5.

While 26 per cent of respondents said they were still undecided, another 26 per cent said it was their intention to vote for the NDP. The Conservative Party ranked second with 21 per cent of the intended vote, the Greens third with 14 per cent and the Liberals fourth with 10 per cent.

The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age, gender and region. Results are considered accurate to within 4.9 percentage points 19 times out of 20.

So while accurate, it’s still hard to know what will happen once the ballots are counted on Oct. 19.

“Voter turnout will make all the difference for these campaigns,” One Cowichan spokesman Matt Price said. “Will voters who state a preference actually get out to cast a ballot?

That could shift these numbers around.”

One Cowichan has been knocking on doors in an attempt to convince more people to vote. The citizens

group is on track to put in 28 canvass shifts resulting in about 1,250 conversations. They have set up a station at Vancouver Island University’s Cowichan campus in an attempt to increase the student vote and have been active on Facebook and with members of Cowichan Tribes as well.

“Overall, we feel we are making a difference, especially when one of our canvassers comes upon the door of someone who seems like a reluctant voter and is able to connect about issues he/she cares about to translate that into a commitment to vote,” Price said. “The proof will be in the pudding though,” he added. “With a close race, voter turnout will really matter.”

Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May said Monday that the TPP is a bad deal and would be blocked by Green MPs in its current form. “[The TPP] confirms our worst fears that now 10 more nations will have the right to sue Canada if we make decisions that they feel will interfere with their profits,” May said during a stop in Cowichan Bay. “It’s particularly significant for British Columbia given that [Premier] Christy Clark has made such a huge bet on working with Malaysian companies for natural gas.”

Malaysia, one of the TPP partners, will now have the right to

sue Canada if we make decisions that interfere with their profitability of their LNG bets, May said.

Industry leaders are still digesting the plan.

The B.C. Dairy Association thus far has mixed feelings.

“B.C. dairy farmers are not happy about the announcement of the TPP, as it means additional foreign access of dairy products into Canada amounting to about 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production. This equates to approximately 23 million litres of lost production to B.C. dairy producers that will result in lost revenue for the Canadian economy,” according to Dave Taylor, the B.C. Dairy Association’s board chair.

“We have always worked hard to grow our industry and produce a quality product. It’s a step backwards to lose market share and ultimately lose cows from our system. There is however, less anxiety today knowing that supply management is going to be sustainable for future generations — for that, we are grateful.”

The government has also announced a series of compensation programs for dairy, poultry and egg producers, and processors that signal these areas will see losses under the deal.

The TPP still needs to be ratified in parliament and that won’t take place until after the election.

Cowichan MS Society office closing doors LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The South & Central Vancouver Island Chapter of the MS Society of Canada is closing its Duncan office after 15 years.

The group will continue to occupy its current space — #204 – 394 Duncan St., — until Nov. 30 when it will change the way it operates its Cowichan services, according to Todd Abercrombie, regional director of the Society’s British Columbia & Yukon Division.

“It’s a sign of the times for us,” he said. “We’re facing budget constraints and we’re just not able to really afford to maintain that office.”

The other regional office is in Victoria but Cowichan Valley people will still get their services in the Valley.

“We’re going to be looking at alternative meeting space right in Duncan. We haven’t finalized it yet but we’ll be serving our clients as far as their programs go the same way. It will just be in a different space. We want to be as central as possible. We’ll be staffing from our Victoria office but we’ll still have a fundraising

Popular fundraising events such as the MS Bike and MS Walk will continue to take place, officials say. [CITIZEN FILE] coordinator who will be moving to a home office situation in December.”

The programs themselves will still be offered in Duncan.

“We have no plans to move them. We do the same thing in Nanaimo, in our Central Island Region. We have staff in home offices and then we have community-based locations for differ-

ent groups for meeting up.”

The practice is already well-established in other parts of Canada, Abercrombie said.

“The Society is laid out in regions and we’re kind of moving to one physical office in a region and then home offices and local community meeting places for programs,” he said.

There are a variety of things

offered through the MS Society.

“We’ve got tai chi going on in Duncan, and an arts and crafts group and, also, there’s a support group that meets. It really depends on what our clients would like to do. We would like to offer more in terms of exercises and supporting folks in the exercise of their choice and their location. We’re working on that one.”

People will also still be able to contact the MS Society at the same phone number.

Call 250-388-6496 to find out when and where activities in Duncan will take place. For information specific to programs and services, call Katie Ganassin at 250-388-6496, ext. 7312.

“It would just be transferred to where our home office is and if people need to talk about programs and services then they would be transferred back to our office here in Victoria. Our fundraising side will be looked after by our staff member in Duncan.”

It will be business as usual, just not from that same old storefront location.

“It’s a difficult decision but we’re under quite a bit of budget pressure for 2016 and right across

the country we’re having to make some tough decisions. This is one of them,” Abercrombie said, pointing out that it’s important to keep as much money for programs as possible.

“It is nice to have office space but we’re just going to have to do it in a slightly different way. And we know from our experience in other parts of the province that it works. I know that no doubt we’ll have a bit of a learning bump as we go but we’re pretty confident that we can make it work for everybody.”

The changeover happens as of Dec. 1.

“We’re looking for this to be quite seamless,” he said.

Abercrombie said that people have been given several months to prepare for the change.

“Yes, we’ve let everybody know.

We sent out a letter this week and included a frequently-asked-questions document with it to explain everything. And then when we do get our new community meeting space we’re going to have an open house to introduce the space to everybody. Communication is key to let everybody know what’s happening,” Abercrombie said.

Animals get a blessing too at St. Peter’s event LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Animal lovers crowded into historic St. Peter’s Anglican Church Sunday, Oct. 4 for the annual Blessing of the Animals service.

Based on St. Francis of Assisi’s idea that all animals were as much God’s creation as he was himself, the members of St. Peter’s have for years extended a warm welcome at this special event to anyone who wants to bring a beloved animal.

Led by Rev. Deborah Rivet, who

always brings her own dog, Felix, to the service, and Deacon Selinde Krayenhoff, church members organized four busy stations to offer all the blessings needed for these extra-special family members.

Dogs of all types and sizes predominated, of course, but this year owners of a couple of chickens, a cockatiel and even a farm horse joined a service that can really be described as all-inclusive and which features a song entitled All God’s Creatures Got a Place in the Choir.

COWICHAN-KOKSILAH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN

COMMUNITY SURVEYS NOW AVAILABLE The following community surveys are now available for the new Cowichan-Koskilah Official Community Plan, applicable to Area E (Cowichan Station, Sahtlam, Glenora), a portion of Electoral Area F (Sahtlam), and a portion of Area B (north of the Koksilah River):

Paddlers to protest LNG plan Are you upset about the idea of LNG in Saanich Inlet?

There’s a special symbolic protest event, titled Paddle for the Inlet, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10.

According to Jennifer Young, organizers are hoping that people will bring their watercraft — canoes, kayaks, rowing boats, dragon boats — to Bamberton Beach and join the paddle out to a mid-inlet island to join a group heading across from Brentwood Bay on the Saanich side before returning to Bamberton Beach for speeches.

“It’s all about saving Saanich Inlet from LNG,” Young said.

“It’s a community event and we’re asking everyone who can join to join in with whatever they can. It started out originally from Brentwood Bay and they wanted to paddle across to Bamberton Provincial Park.

The folks there will be doing that. Our side — the Mill Bay side — will be starting at Bamberton and they are going to be paddling to Senanus Island in the middle of the inlet. They will be joining up there and meeting back at Bamberton Beach.

“Adam Olson from the Tsartlip Band has said he will be

Linked Island to world LADYSMITH’S, From Page 22 By this time, too, Mount Sicker copper ore was being shipped to Tacoma, Wash. for smelting via the E&N and Canadian Pacific Railway at Ladysmith. The 12-car barge Transfer, built to haul Union Bay coke to Vancouver, went into service with the steam tug Czar as her tender.

E&N chronicler Donald MacLachlan has termed Ladysmith’s transfer facility “a fulfilment of destiny” for the Island railway. Up until this time heavy goods and equipment had been lightered to the Island. Ladysmith became more than a satellite to Extension; its railway barge system directly linked Vancouver Island, in effect, with all of North America.

The CPR’s bigger, heavier cars made problems for its junior partner but the system worked well and was expanded to seven days a week. Traffic grew to the point that a full-time yard switching crew had to be established at Ladysmith to channel passengers and freight trains loaded with Extension coal, Mount Sicker copper, Shawnigan Lake lumber, Esquimalt canned goods and general merchandise, as well as that arriving from the mainland.

In 1905 the CPR acquired the E&N. The Transfer Wharf continued in service until 1955 when all rail-barge freight was redirected through new facilities at Nanaimo. By then, Ladysmith’s reliance upon the Extension coal mines was long a matter of history, having ended in 1929. Previously, the city’s “T-Wharf” and the great coal dock with its cavernous bunkers had been demolished — cut up and burned as firewood.

The Transfer Wharf, its distinctive twin towers and cross-bar by which its loading ramp could be raised or lowered to accommodate the tides, sat idle until it was razed in the ’70s.

During demolition, Ray Kight recalled, the severed towers, their winch wheels a-drag, drifted about Ladysmith Harbour for days. www.twpaterson.com

there, Kerry Davis from Area A of the Cowichan Valley Regional District will be there. We’re trying to get the word out,” she said, admitting that it could be difficult with the Thanksgiving long weekend coming up.

The best way to get lastminute event information is to check Paddle for the Inlet on Facebook.

On that site, Davis said, “For anyone wishing to join from the west side of the inlet, we are aiming to be on the water at Bamberton Provincial Park by 11:30 a.m. The flotillas are planning to join up at Senanus Island and return to Bamberton Park about 1 p.m.”

Book sale boast 20,000 titles to choose from A readers’ feast of 20,000 books, including 5,000 children’s books will be available at the Garden House Foundation’s annual charity used book sale, taking place on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bonner School in Mill Bay. The sale is cash-only, so put some bills in your wallet so you can take home some tomes. Books are mostly between 50 cents and $3 each, with the exception of a special silent auction of higher-valued books, with starting bids of $20. Profits from the sale are added to the foundation’s permanent funds.

Each year annual grants go to three local organizations that support families in crisis and animals in need: Cowichan Family Life, Cowichan Women Against Violence and the Duncan SPCA. These grants assist with programs such as Children Who Witness Abuse, which provides group and individual counselling for children between four and 18 who may suffer with anxiety, anger and sleep disturbances; a Strengthening Parenting program which looks at how a mother’s own trauma has impacted her parenting skills; the Books ’n Bubbles bus, which offers onboard pre-school literacy and reading programs; the training of youth co-facilitators for a 10-week teen healthy relations program done in high schools;

a youth leadership program to address street harassment in the community, medical costs for stray and injured animals and more.

The sale depends on the generosity of dedicated adult and student volunteers; local businesses and organizations; the Cowichan Valley School District; Brentwood College; the Island Savings Youth Ambassador team and Bonner School. Add in the excellent investment management services it receives as part of the Victoria Foundation and strong public support and you have a winning combination that has resulted in the fund growing quickly since it began in 2008.

Organizers Jim and Jackie Barker encourage those who have never attended the sale to give it a try.

“Not only will you see some quality late issue books at great prices, but you will also be helping the foundation to reach $100,000 by the end of this year,” they said in a press release.

Elvis will be in the building as part of Mill Bay’s Good Old Daze display. Also, be sure to check out the foundation’s own award-winning garden gnome and see what is causing the look of surprise on his face.

• The Canada Post Community Foundation has given a grant of $10,000 to the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association.

The funds will be used to hire a program assistant, something the organization needs to meet the demands of a growing number of participants.

The CTRA offers therapeutic riding and equine-based therapeutic services for persons with special needs. While the CTRA program works with individuals of all ages, the vast majority of users are children and youth.

With the support of the Canada Post Community Foundation, CTRA anticipates welcoming 15 additional children to the program.

Therapeutic riding and equinebased therapies provide profound benefits for persons with special needs and are an especially effective early intervention strategy for children with disabilities. Often called a “therapy in disguise,” it helps to empower participants and help them make social connections. CTRA’s program is made possible through the efforts of over 100 community volunteers contributing over 4,000 hours of time each year.

“CTRA survives and thrives on the support of community partners like the Canada Post Community Foundation. This funding will enable CTRA welcome even more children and youth to our nationally recognized, life-

You can celebrate Thanksgiving a couple days early this Saturday at the O.U.R. Harvest Feastival at O.U.R. Ecovillage in Shawnigan Lake.

“This is a huge evening of gratitude from all of our onsite and offsite family and friends of all the folks of the last 15-plus years!” said the press release for the event.

“This is a time to celebrate life, vitality, love, possibilities, inspiration and...what’s next.”

The Ecovillage will provide the main dishes, but ask that community members bring their favourite sides to share, potluck style. The results of a pumpkin pie and crumble “co-opetition” will round out the menu.

The Feastival begins with site tours and updates of new projects from 1-3 p.m. The pie making and a tea will happen from 3-5 p.m., transitioning into cocktails and snacks from 5-6 p.m. Then, at 6 p.m., the Zero Mile Meal Feast begins. At 7:30 p.m.

As you digest from the feast, enjoy storytelling, music, face painting and other entertainment.

Tickets to the event at $20 each plus your potluck contribution.

For more information, go to www. ourecovillage.org

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

In Memory of

Bruce Kevin Skene June 12, 1961October 12, 2014

MARGARET MARY MATHESON Passed away on September 25, 2015 in Duncan BC at the age of 96. Margaret will be dearly missed by her children Anne (Ron) and David, by her beloved grandchildren James, Caitlin, Gregory, Nicholas, Chelsea and Emily and great grandson Dyson, as well as an extended family of nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Donald.

Margaret was born in Sydney Australia and her adventurous spirit brought her to Canada in 1952 - she was on her way to England but stopped enroute for a working holiday. After sailing up the Inside Passage to Alaska and taking the train through the White Pass she started a temporary secretarial position at a law firm. Having always wanted to see the Rocky Mountains, Margaret left for another temporary position in Calgary. Plans changed when she fell in love with Donald, started a family and then moved to Edmonton.

Her visit to England took place about 30 years later than originally scheduled.

Margaret was an inspiration to many in her attitude toward life: she dealt with whatever came her way by accepting it and moving forward. She was a firm believer in regular exercise and practiced it until breaking a hip while out walking in August of this year. She taught 2 generations of children to swim at Cooking Lake and also chased after them with reminders to put their hats on. Many winter nights were spent knitting hundreds of hats and mitts for those in need to keep off the chill of harsh Edmonton winters.

Margaret retained her sense of adventure to the end, moving out to Duncan at age 90 to be close to her children. She loved her time at Sherwood House participating in exercise classes, attending musical events and making new friends.

She was always game for any kind of weekend outing, especially if it was near the ocean or involved music.

The family would like to thank nieces Barb and Liz for their support during Margaret’s last few days. At her request, there will be no service, but to honour her memory head out on a long walk (don’t forget your hat!) or try something new.

www.bcclassiďŹ ed.com

There was nothing you enjoyed more than laughing and starting each day with a ‘project’, whether it was canning fish or flying into camp.

You had a zest for life that turned everyday experiences into memories...strangers into friends.

Even in your darkest moments you had a smile, or a joke for everyone you met.

There was nothing you wouldn’t do for any one of us.

We miss you Bruce...

All Our Love, Your friends.

HUGE VICTORY

While Cowichan’s Amish Dobson (32) runs back a kick return against Comox last Sunday, Mitch Hinton throws a devastating hit on a Raiders defender. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Timbermen edge Comox for first win of the season KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Mitch Hinton had an outstanding game on both sides of the ball last Sunday as the Cowichan Timbermen picked up their first victory of the Vancouver Mainland Football League season, beating the Comox Raiders 21-20.

Hinton led the Cowichan defence with six tackles and two assists, and added a touchdown and 65 rushing yards on offence, including a 25-yard run that was the longest of the afternoon, pacing the T-Men in a thriller at McAdam Park.

He even had his jersey torn right off his body in the heat of the action and had to don a spare for the rest of the contest. “It was a very hard-fought battle,� head coach Opie Williams said. “A very exciting game for the fans.�

The T-Men got off to an excellent start, marching the ball down the field on their second possession, which Hinton capped off with a three-yard touchdown. The team stalled out in the second and third quarters, however, and the Raiders were able to come back and hold a 13-7 lead at halftime. “Comox was able to move the ball as we struggled with all their motion,� Williams said.

The Raiders added another major in the fourth to take a 20-7 lead, but the Cowichan defence barred the door after that.

Tyler Hudson had a huge second-down tackle for a loss of yards, forcing the Raiders to punt, and Kain Melchior ran the ball back 95 yards to score. Even though they missed the extra point, Melchior’s touchdown gave the T-Men some spark.

With seven minutes left, Cowichan kicked the ball deep in the Comox zone and counted on the defence for a stop.

Hudson came up with another tackle for a loss, and the Raiders had to punt. With the ball on the 50-yard line and less than three minutes to go, quarterback Braemon Conville threw to Mitchell Gudgeon, who made a leaping catch for a 20-yard gain.

A short run and an incomplete pass later, the T-Men were on third and long, but Melchior ran 28 yards untouched to score.

Because his team had struggled with kicking, Williams opted for the two-point convert attempt. “We moved Kain to the tailback position and ran a sweep, letting him use his speed to get the edge and dive for the line for two points and the lead,� Williams said.

Gudgeon sealed up the win with his second interception of the game. Other big performances in the win came from Garion Ferguson, who had three tackles, an interception and one batted ball, and Jake Borserio, who had 108 yards rushing.

The T-Men are at home again this weekend, kicking off at 3 p.m. against Cloverdale.

Hunter Hieta scored three times in the victory, while Gavin Spencer had two goals, and Brody Black, Jazzy Shafi, Ryan John, Jack Sanderson, Tyler Smith, Sam Baxter and Nathan Clark had one apiece. The team plays this Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex at 11:30 a.m. [PAULA HARRIS PHOTO]

Michelle Moore had two tries and eight conversions in Cowichan’s 76-12 win at Nanaimo last Saturday. [CITIZEN FILE]

Women’s rugby team thumps Nanaimo, sets sights on B.C. Premier League in spring KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

With two key players missing from the lineup, Cowichan’s senior women’s rugby team got a full team effort from those who were in attendance, and nine players scored tries in a 76-12 win over Nanaimo last Saturday.

Laura Russell and Brandi Van Eeuwen were absent, but that didn’t stop Cowichan from delivering a full thumping to their rivals from up the highway.

Jenna Bugden scored three

tries and Michelle Moore had two tries and kicked eight conversions in the big win. Also taking the ball over the line were Shanise Gelaude, Sherry Spence, Rikki Wylie, Rebecca Kerswell, Bristine Gibbons, Jamaina McLeod and Angie Davies.

After a strong start to the Vancouver Island First Division season, Cowichan has decided to move up to the B.C. Premier League for the spring.

“It was a tough decision, but with such a great group of

players and having the Premier League have the rule of only three national players allowed on the pitch, it evens out the Premier teams,” Spence commented.

“We have a lot of work to do but we feel if we work on the small things we will be able to compete with and be in the middle of the pack for the Premier League.”

The Cowichan women have the next two weekends off, then begin the fall season playoffs on Oct. 24 with a semifinal, likely against Castaway Wanderers.

Sophy Roberge and Francene Benoit — a.k.a. The French Baguette — were a hit at last month’s MOMAR. [SUBMITTED]

Spirited showing by Valley entries in Cumberland MOMAR KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

15 minutes and 16 seconds.

On the 30km sport course, Francene Benoit and Sophy Roberge of Duncan — team name: The French Baguette — placed ninth in the team of two female category with a time of 5:33:35 and found all 18 checkpoints.

They also won the spirit award for their costumes and positive attitude throughout the race, earning themselves free entry into next year’s race.

Andrew Wright wasn’t sure what was different in the Cowichan Piggies between their previous training session and last Saturday’s game, which they lost 41-12 to the Hornets in Nanaimo.

“The boys were pumped up Thursday night,” the assistant coach said. “They were strong out of the games on Thursday, but on Saturday they were lacking.”

The Hornets surged to a 20-0 lead in the first half, and while it was much closer in the second half, Nanaimo still outscored Cowichan 21-12.

It had been three or four years since Cowichan lost in Nanaimo, and Nanaimo lost all their games last year, so Wright

posited that the Piggies may have been expecting an easy game.

“It’s usually close between Nanaimo and our club,” Wright noted. “The history goes back a long ways. We always have hard-fought games.”

The Piggies were plagued by injuries last Saturday, losing half a dozen players over the course of the match.

“We had seven spares, and all seven got in, six of them for injuries,” Wright said.

Despite the loss, Wright, who guided the squad in the absence of head coach Gord McGeachy, was still pleased with the players.

“I was proud of their performance,” he said. “They showed a lot of heart by not giving up.”

With a record of one win, two losses and a tie, United will play Vantreights Saturday at Finlayson Park in Victoria.

After a big 5-1 win over Nanaimo on Sept. 26, Cowichan United took a step back with a 3-1 loss to Cermaq City Wave in Vancouver Island Soccer League Div. 2 action last weekend.

han’s first try, and the second was awarded on a penalty.

As has become an annual tradition, the game served as a tribute to Wayne Peace, who played for both clubs before he died in 2007 at the age of 45.

“Every time we play each other it’s basically a tribute to Wayne Peace,” Wright said.

“There a good atmosphere, wherever it is.”

The Piggies have this weekend off — a “saving grace,” in Wright’s words — before they host James Bay on Oct. 17. They will use the interim to regroup.

“What’s behind us is behind us and we’ll move on,” Wright said. “It was an eye-opener early in the season. We’re only three games in. The best time to lose is in the beginning of the * * MONTHS MONTHS season.” for

I found Sandra to be very helpful and knowledgable about the vehicle i was interested in. We started communicating by email and she always got back to me promptly with any questions i had. When i was finally able to make it to the dealership to complete the deal everyone i dealt with including Sandra, the sales manager, finance manager, parts department and insurance gal were great. Overall it was positive gerryisagirltoo experience and i-would absolutely recommend island ford to anybody looking for a new vehicle.

“They were a pleasure to work with, and we were in a vehicle in no time!”
