Captain died doing the job he loved SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Last weekend the BC Forest Discovery Centre in Duncan celebrated the 105th birthday of steam engine Samson, offering free admission to anyone matching Samson’s milestone. To their surprise, Lydia Jabs, 105, and two months older than Samson, came to celebrate with the crew. Here she poses with the FDC’s Carolyn Taylor, Victor Citizen Banner Ad 2015.pdf 1 07-24-15 3:40 PM Gerwin (on the train), and Ron Jeskey.

A Duncan man was among the three men who died after their commercial fishing boat capsized and sank in the waters off Estevan Point north of Tofino on Saturday night.

Duncan’s Wesley Lief Hegglund, the captain of the 33-metre fishing boat Caledonian, and two of his crew-members were found dead while a fourth crew member, the sole survivor, was rescued from a raft about 1:40 a.m. on Sunday.

Hegglund, 55, whose life-long ambition was to be a commercial fisherman, had been living the dream.

“Wes graduated with an honours degree in Hard Knocks from Hecate Straight University; an institution reserved for only the toughest commercial fishermen on the West Coast,” read his obituary, written by his sister.

“Through hard work and determination he attained his lifelong ambition of becoming a commercial fishing vessel captain — a career he enjoyed immensely.”

Coast Guard spokesman Dan Bate said the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre was notified something was amiss about 10 p.m. Saturday night after the

Wesley Lief Hegglund shore-based management for the Caledonian had been unable to raise the vessel at their designated call-in time.

“There was no distress call from the vessel,” Bate said.

“They couldn’t raise the vessel on radio, there was a loss of communication.”

Four coast guard boats and the Nootka Inshore Rescue boat were dispatched.

The MS Statendam, a Holland America cruise ship also aided in the search along with several other fishing vessels including the Arctic Ocean, Bate said.

On eve of Exhibition, historic medals stolen KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

When two agricultural prize medals were stolen from the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives in 2002, the museum was fortunate enough to recover one of them. They are hoping for similar luck this time, after eight medals — including the one that found its way home 13 years ago — were taken from their case this week.

“We all feel very sick about it,” said Stephanie Walter, the president of the Cowichan Historical Society, which operates the museum.

The thefts were discovered on Tuesday, but the museum is unsure when the medals actually disappeared.

“We don’t know when it happened,” said Walter, who was able to confirm that it occurred during museum hours and that there was no break-in to the building.

Beyond the fact that one of the missing medals was also stolen in 2002, there are some eerie similarities to the previous theft: it also happened in September, and the curator at the time was on vacation.

“It’s a sad coincidence in two ways,” Walter said. “It happened at the same time, and it’s on the eve of the Cowichan Exhibition.”

Community Lodge has sights set on rowing centre SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

With Rowing Canada knocking on the door, the Duncan Community Lodge’s board of directors is working feverishly to get its house in order in an attempt to be more attractive to its possible suitor.

Rowing Canada has been exploring options at sites around Quamichan Lake with the idea of developing a new National Rowing Centre of Excellence to complement its current training facilities.

The Duncan Lodge’s board recently met with Rowing Canada to discuss its vision and how the Duncan Lodge may fit into it. At a general meeting last June, the board passed a motion unanimously to pursue the investment interest of Rowing Canada to make the Duncan Lodge its new home, according to Lodge president John Koury.

“Clearly this is a rare golden opportunity for the Duncan Community Lodge Society to revitalize and restore itself to its former glory of broad based community appeal and support,” Koury said. “It is one of those events that could change a town forever and we want to support Rowing Canada with their move to Duncan.”

While he encourages Rowing

John Koury, Lodge president Canada to look at all its options, he hopes they ultimately choose the Lodge.

And while the location and property seem to be a good fit, the Lodge has quietly been fighting a legal battle that Koury and the board believe needs to wrap up if the group has a proper shot at landing Rowing Canada.

Koury said the Duncan Community Lodge Society has been bogged down in legal controversy ever since its members voted to sever ties with Moose International. At issue is who owns the 11-acre Quamichan Lake-front property — the community group or Moose International.

“For the Society to act on its

desire to seize the opportunity Rowing Canada presents, we need to have our day in court and win. We need to raise membership and garner their support as well as collaborate with community stakeholders to help bring Rowing Canada to our shores and save our society,” Koury said. “The board has set a course of action with a legal defence strategy to ensure the Duncan Community Lodge Society keeps its right, as title holders to the property, to chart a new course for the benefit of the whole community. But there is a legal price to pay if we are to win the day.”

To that end, folks at the lodge have set up a three-day Island Invasion Family Music and Cultural festival, starting this Friday, to raise funds.

Proceeds from the music event will be used to keep the Lodge in good running order and pay for legal costs associated with its defence.

Attendees can look forward to a campout, kids’ games, a bouncy castle, a dunk tank, kick ball, and more, including 17 bands and activities for grown-ups, too, like a “garage crawl” and wine tour.

Treasures stolen from Al’s SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Still dealing with the insurance nightmare after the first break-in that saw 50 statues stolen seven months ago, owners Al and Manon Kipp at Al’s Asian Treasures in Chemainus were the target of thieves once again this week.

This time, nine locally made cement statues were stolen after thieves cut a chain and lock to gain access.

“There’s nothing like feeling violated,” Manon Kipp said Wednesday. “It’s an ongoing thing,” she added. “The last year it seems to have been getting really bad.”

She noted at least two other businesses in the area have also struggled with criminals

in recent history.

Earlier this month during a council meeting, Nor th Cowichan councillor Joyce Behnsen asked Insp. Ray Carfantan, officer in charge of the North Cowichan/ Duncan detachment, if police were aware of the goings-on there.

“What is being done about the Chemainus industrial area?

They’ve had quite a convergence of break-in and enters,” Behnsen said. “The business owners in that particular Chemainus industrial park area around Smiley Road and the Henry Road area and the highway have been very concerned for safety and losses through robbery and damaged property in the past few months and they’re feeling frustrated and

don’t know which way to turn.”

Behnsen suggested more officers in the area.

“I’m just bringing it to light as something that was brought to my attention,” she said.

Carfantan said police are aware and working on it. He said they tend to know who is responsible but oftentimes limited resources hamper efforts to catch and charge them.

“As Nanaimo and Ladysmith push out their prolific offenders out of their areas...they find their way south, and, as we do the same, they find their way back up to Ladysmith and Nanaimo but we are hoping in that process that we are going to catch and reform some of those people so they get out of the crime cycle.”

Tsartlip ‘insulted’ by Malahat LNG process ing with Steelhead LNG and it will take place on Sept. 11. We intend on making it clear that Tsartlip First Nation’s approval will be required for any LNG project to proceed,” Tom said. “We oppose the aggressive approach taken by Steelhead LNG and their Board of Directors by publicly announcing the project prior to any discussions with the Tsartlip community.”

Tsartlip territory is primarily on the eastern shore of the Saanich Peninsula in Brentwood Bay, but the First Nation also owns a reserve directly south of the proposed LNG facility location.

“Tsartlip takes tremendous pride in protecting all aspects of our community and will not subject our people to the risks around pipelines and LNG ter-

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Tsartlip First Nation’s Chief is calling out neighbouring Malahat First Nation and its partners, describing their process for developing a floating liquid natural gas facility on the Bamberton shoreline “disrespectful and insulting.”

Chief Don Tom said in a press release that his Nation “strongly opposes the process chosen by Malahat First Nation, Steelhead LNG and their Board of Directors who are aware of Tsartlip First Nations presence in the Saanich Inlet for countless generations.”

Tom said his band deserves to be consulted and made it clear that their approval will be needed for work to proceed.

Tom said Steelhead LNG appears to be using a “cookie cutter” approach in dealing with First Nations.

“This approach will not work with Tsartlip. We take offence to the aggressive pursuit of Malahat LNG without respectful acknowledgment of our Territory,” said the release.

In the Sept. 1 pipeline partnership announcement Steelhead LNG and Williams promised to “undertake an extensive consultation and engagement process

While the Tsartlip First Nation has taken them up on their offer to talk, the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s board of directors is still debating what to do.

After more than an hour of discussion Wednesday night, the board was at a stalemate about how to proceed, after receiving a letter from Steelhead LNG and Williams offering a meeting.

Some directors wanted the companies to appear as a delegation and others wanted the political upheaval at the Malahat First Nation to settle down and a new chief and council elected before the CVRD weighs in.

No decision has been made.

Recent rains haven’t fully replenished the dry river. [CITIZEN FILE] the forecast is for dry weather for a while again. We don’t want to spend what we have in the bank in the lake until we know we’ve got enough,” Forrest said.

The recent rain has meant that “there is quite a bit of inflow into [Cowichan Lake] right now from the main tributaries like Robertson [River] and Shaw [Creek], all the major creeks are running pretty well right now. That’s helping a lot.

It’s looking good but we’re still not totally out of the woods yet,” the mayor added.

There was no discussion, however on doing anything about

the water restrictions.

“Yes, we still are on restrictions. I would think the whole area would be looking at lifting that Stage Three pretty soon but I don’t know that,” he said.

Coun. Carolyne Austin asked, “would we bother lifting them for now? Why would we not leave them on till the end of the year perhaps?”

Forrest said, “people will want to wash their cars, their patios.

Stuff they haven’t been able to do for the past few months, that they want to be able to do.

That’s why they’re asking the question.”

Recent rain has given some cause for hope but the Cowichan River flow committee is still not rushing to increase the amount of water released into the river, according to Lake Cowichan Mayor Ross Forrest.

He gave a report to his council colleagues Sept. 8 of a meeting held that day.

“We had about 20 people there, from DFO, Cowichan Tribes, Catalyst and more. It’s looking good. At the last few meetings we’ve had [the group had set] a date of late September for the lake being at such a low level that the river wouldn’t be flowing properly but the rain we’ve had has upped that date substantially to Nov. 1 now at the current flow of 4.5 pms,” Forrest said.

Of course, having some water to work with leads to talk.

“There was some discussion today about whether everybody’s brave enough to up that flow for the fish. They usually have a pulse in late September, early October but they figure for the next two weeks anyhow we should keep it at 4.5 and then if things look okay, look at a fish pulse.

OUR VIEW

Change a good idea, but where’s the money?

A

ny judgement on the new curriculum being instituted in B.C.’s public schools either this year (voluntarily) or next (compulsory) for kindergarten to Grade 9 students would be premature.

In general, we think that giving some new ideas a try in education isn’t a bad move.

There is no such thing as a perfect system and we can always do better.

Doing better requires some experimentation and patience to await the results.

We’re not advocating that the province lose its mind and jam

some crazy system into place that will leave kids far behind.

But considered changes with the hope of creating a system where more kids are engaged and excited about learning is a minor risk worth taking.

There always seems to be some moaning from people whenever there are changes.

They seem to harken back to decades long gone by when memorization was king. They often attribute all of society’s ills to the loss of education’s emphasis on “the three Rs”: reading, writing and arithmetic.

Basics are still basics and it is

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

still important for kids to know how to read and write and do at least some simple math.

We would expect any curriculum to take these into account.

But there is so much to education beyond those basics.

We live in a different world now.

Kids learn how to look stuff up on the Internet using their parents’ cell phones as they’re learning to walk and talk.

Things like science and history, construction and automotive skills can really benefit from more hands-on learning and less memorization and

regurgitation on tests.

We share Trustee Rob Hutchins’ concern, though, about funding to make this whole changeover work.

Superintendent Rod Allen admits there isn’t likely to be any extra funds coming from the province, which seems like a massive oversight in the planning of such a major shift.

If they’re truly committed to the success of this endeavour it’s a no-brainer that cash is needed for proper training and implementation.

Here, the province has fallen down on the job.

Conservative record on health care misleading

ion on the pros and cons of the deal as it stands at this point.

I would also ask the other candidates to comment on the issue.

I would particularly like to know if any of the other parties have decided on a course of action if the finalized TPP should prove to be less than beneficial to our Canadian way of life.

Meanwhile, I would urge every one of you to search the Internet for information on how the TPP could impact your life. The deal hasn’t been finalized yet but it will have repercussions on Canadian society on many levels and it’s undemocratic for the content of the negotiations to be kept from us.

Re: “Screeching left” by Reed Elley Like many, if not all, politicians, past and present, Mr. Elley likes to use a careful selection of facts in defence of his party. His condescending defence of the health care spending of the Conservative government under Prime Minister Harper is a clear example. While it is true that spending increased under this government, it bears further examination.

In 2004 the Liberal government at the time signed a Health Care Accord with the provinces that increased the share of spending from the federal government to 20 per cent from a miserable nine per cent in order to reduce wait times for the thousands of people who were waiting over a year for surgical procedures and MRIs. Then in 2011, the “Harper Government” indicated that it would not renew the accord when it expired in 2014 and under its plan would reduce their share of spending by $36 billion over the next 10 years.

This cut will result in a contribution level by the federal government in 2017 of only three per cent! Three per cent — A historical low in contributions to the provinces for health car costs.

So, while it is true that spending did increase in the first seven years under Harper, it happened because of the accord for which he was not responsible and then took the first opportunity available to cut the spending which will result in $36 billion less over then next 10 years.

We’re also concerned about how special needs will be integrated into the new system.

Have they considered it?

Because the mechanisms we have right now to successfully include special needs kids into the school system are overloaded, if not outright broken.

The stark reality is that we don’t even know how many special needs kids we have in our district and what those needs are, because testing for them is so inadequate.

So we applaud the fundamental idea, but are waiting to see the rubber meet the road.

Election 2015 — the elephant in the room That proverbial elephant, when it comes to the federal election, is the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which is currently being negotiated by the Harper Conservative government. Some have called it NAFTA on steroids, because it could have much more far reaching implications for Canadian society than our free trade pact with the U.S. and Mexico ever did. The problem is, it’s a trade negotiation shrouded in secrecy and the few things which have become public knowledge about the items on the negotiating table are worrisome.

Three items stand out for me: the potential for a severe cur-

tailment of our Internet and freedom of expression rights; the possibility that under TPP our crown corporations — CBC, Canada Post — will go the way of the dodo; and the threat the deal could pose to access to generic — and cheaper — pharmaceuticals.

These are all changes which would have tremendous impact on our lives. And, not one of the candidates in our riding has made any comment to suggest the TPP is a topic for conversation.

Now that we have a Conservative candidate nominated for our riding, Martin Barker, I would like to ask Mr. Barker to share with the constituents of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford his stand on the TPP and his opin-

First day back to school, and that means school zones, pedestrians, and school buses. How quickly some (even experienced) drivers forget. It seems that reminders are necessary.

This is what happened to me today.

I came to a complete stop at the intersection, I was in the left lane. I stopped, because on the opposite side of the road was the school bus with its lights flashing and stop sign displayed. The driver behind me chose not to stop, instead tooted his horn and overtook me on the right.

I thank the fates that there were no youngsters crossing at the moment.

(I had a flashback to a similar event that I was witness to, with horrible outcome.)

I spoke with this driver; he said he did nothing wrong. I am certain the rules have not changed. Passing on the right is (158(1)) $109 fine plus two demerits and fail to stop for school bus (149) $167 plus three demerits.

There are potentially other violations, but I am not going to go there. Anyone can look up fines and demerits.

I am a retired professional driver. I have seen a lot of bad driving habits, but this one is one of my pet peeves.

I really just want to impress upon drivers that the road is shared, now

Donna Ludvig Turner Duncan

long history of union busting as well as murdering of union leaders?

If everything was smelling of roses then why on Vancouver Island did so many workers and especially miners get their heads beat in and killed when they went to exercise labour solidarity against the harsh conditions of industrial Canada?

It was workers, step by step, since Confederation that made unions possible Mr. Barker and someone who claims to be a union worker would have known that.

Time to put the Harper cheat sheets away and face the voters with your own ideas and what you bring to the table beside being historically challenged. So far not impressed.

I am an Area E resident who does not use the Cowichan Aquatic Centre (preferring instead to walk, cycle and horse-ride roads and trails that my taxes also maintain), yet will not be objecting to the proposed rate hike which will cost me about $40/year. I reckon this is a small amount to contribute to an amenity that gives the young and old of our community an opportunity for activity which is individually and socially healthy. In short, I’d rather pay for these now than medical and police services later.

Of the letter writer who says, “... users pay...”, I ask, “Where does that begin and end? With schools?

Hospitals? Highways?”. Of another who hints at a conspiracy by local politicians which begins with Area E, but will eventually mean a rate hike for all areas, I ask, “Where is your evidence?” I do not intend to object to this proposal.

Medals for veggies, Holsteins, fruit ON EVE, From Page 3 side by a sprig of leaves; at the bottom centre is a star followed by the inscription “Ladysmith Agricultural Society Sept 1916 Won by Highest points for Exhibits in Vegetables and Fruits.” The reverse has two sprigs of produce around the circumference framing a pastoral scene of one horse, three pigs and two cows (one being milked), 13 sheep, a small building and some trees, all on a hillside. Outside diameter is 6 cm.

• A sterling silver medal with a leaf decoration on one side surrounding the words “Awarded to L.F. Solly — Westholme BC Owner of L.F. Snowball Althea No. 25729 C.H.H.B. winner of second prize BC C.N.R.P. Holstein Classes 1916.” Reverse side

A medallion from the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London similar to this was among the items taken. [SUBMITTED] is a relief of a cow with the B.C. coat of arms under it; written around the edge is “British Columbia Dairymens Association.”

Outside diameter is 4.5 cm. It is

in a case: red exterior with a button, and lid lined with purple velvet.

• A bronze medallion with “The Canadian Bank of Commerce” around the circumference; at the top centre is the bank’s shield, supported on each side by a sprig of leaves; in the bottom centre is a star and the inscription “Ladysmith Farmers Institute and Oyster Bay Women’s Institute Exhibition, 1914 First Prize for Vegetable Fruit and Poultry highest points.” Awarded to: On obverse: two sprigs of produce around the circumference framing a pastoral scene of one horse, three pigs and two cows (one being milked), 13 sheep, a small building and some trees, all on a hillside. Outside diameter is 6 cm.

“All those vessels participated in the search, it was quite a large search,” Bate said.

Overhead a Department of National Defense Buffalo aircraft and Cormorant helicopter provided eyes from above.

“Approximately 1:38 a.m. the Nootka rescue boat located one survivor in a life raft,” Bate said. The crewman was wearing a life jacket.

The search continued through the day for the three remaining crew members.

“Unfortunately, all three were later discovered deceased,” Bate said, noting it’s believed Hegg-

died in that incident and there was one survivor.

Hegglund is survived by his wife and best friend Angela, his father Earl, son Cory Burton (Staci), siblings Carl Hegglund Jr (Mary-Anne), John Hegglund (Amanda), Vicki Fenton (Tim), Maria Rose (Andrew) and a host of nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life is slated for Saturday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. at the Crofton Community Centre. All are welcome.

“A lover not a fighter, Wes was and will always be, ‘the best man,’ in his life and work,” said the obituary. “Loved by all who knew him, he will be deeply missed.”

bout 40% of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. If you could lower your risk would you do it? When the link between smoking and lung cancer was made public in the 1960s, deaths from the disease dropped significantly. So stopping smoking is the right thing to do. Other ways you can reduce your cancer risk is to exercise daily (at least 30 minutes), eat less red meat (2x weekly, max) and keep your weight in check.

September 9 is Fetal Alcohol Awareness Day in Canada. The purpose is to highlight the fact that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy, The baby’s brain is very sensitive to alcohol while it’s developing. So the best and safest rule is to drink no alcohol at all during pregnancy.

Chemainus celebrates Waterwheel Square SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure and Duncan Mayor Phil Kent, who serves as the board chair of the Island Coastal Economic Trust, cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the new Chemainus town square at Waterwheel Park on Thursday. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN] a town square with a community gathering place and trees and places for people to sit and gather; an enhanced lookout — something that would attract people not just from Chemainus but other places to come and visit the businesses and enjoy the ambience that we’ve created in Chemainus,” Lefebure noted. “Personally I’m incredibly pleased that we’ve accomplished

this. There are a lot of people to thank on the way to achieving this.”

He gave particular thanks to residents’ engagement in public consultation.

“The people of Chemainus, as always, came out in very strong numbers and to say the least, were very opinionated about what would happen in the square. We heard that it was real-

ly important to save the parking aspect of the square and make it multi-use so that the Wednesday market and other events could operate well within this space but at the same time make it pedestrian friendly.”

Opening soon, the square will also feature a new information centre and expanded Chemainus Valley Museum. The expansion adds an additional 5,500 square

Tourists poured out of giant buses Thursday afternoon just as a crowd had already gathered to witness the opening of the new Chemainus town square at Waterwheel Park.

“We scheduled two buses to arrive just to show you how well this is all working. It’s all part of the plan,” North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure joked.

Shovels were put into the ground on a drizzly day in April of 2013 and Thursday, equally soggy, nothing was going to dampen the smiles of those involved in the now completed endeavour.

“This project, which I think is a fantastic improvement for Chemainus, is the result of a vision for a proper town square for Chemainus,” Lefebure said.

“We’ve had the parking lot — which was certainly useful but very plain and not very inviting — for many, many years and any modern concept of a town involves a town square.”

The parking configuration has changed and bus parking is now in the alleyway instead of front and centre. New pavers create a welcoming gathering area with many benches and viewpoints to enjoy.

“When we started working on this project that was our vision,

feet to the former structure including some 1,600 square feet of museum space, 900 square feet of visitor centre and then a massive storage space and office area below street level.

“It was a huge effort. it’s come together very very well,” Lefebure said. “We’ve had a lot of positive reinforcement.”

Lefebure said a “significant” amount of funding [$200,000] came from Island Coastal Economic Trust “and that really helped put us over the top with a fantastic design so we didn’t have to compromise very much. I think we got virtually everything we wanted,” he said.

Duncan Mayor Phil Kent, the Island Coastal Economic Trust board chair, was on hand at the grand opening.

“I want to really congratulate the Municipality of North Cowichan and especially the town of Chemainus, who I think is one of the greatest models of a cohesive community,” Kent said. “It’s evident in Chemainus how much people pull together. All the people that live here, the community groups that are here, they’re clear on their identity, they’re clear who they are, they know what they do well, so I just want to say congratulations to all the people in Chemainus who contributed to this because I know they made it their own.”

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

The great divide: luxury upstairs...servitude below. Tall tales of England’s rigid class system now entertain millions, worldwide.

O

ver the last few centuries a vast gulf divided the “haves” from the “have-nots” in western society.

Nowhere was this more prevalent than in jolly old England, where everyone knew their place and accepted it as almost Divine decree. The blueness of blood at birth and old inherited wealth were the traditional keys to the social pecking order — from the top to the bottom. The landed gentry lorded it over the wealthy merchants and business owners, who in turn made sure that the skivvies, toiling in their kitchens and the machine operators scratching out a living in their factories, worked long hours at meagre wages to support their gaffers’ comfortable lifestyles. It was this huge, largely uneducated labour force that

sustained the indolent aristocracy, supported the industrial hierarchy and cemented the class system as an entrenched way of life.

This scenario, a vast segment of the population spending their working lives serving a favoured few, inevitably aroused indignation from conscientious authors and reformers in the 19th century. But in recent years the human drama of the domestic side of this social phenomenon has been seen in a different light. It has been identified and cleverly exploited to provide fodder for the entertainment of mass audiences.

The movie, and particularly the television industry, recognized the opportunity to generate mega millions by creating and serializing lavish productions featuring these bygone eras, and have today turned so many of us into devoted fans, eager for more. Our concerns for the fictional people who lived and loved upstairs and for the minions who catered to their every whim from down below, has proved to be intriguing family theatre. Our lives have

been happily entwined with theirs, week after week, with each new series.

The genre really got under way with the launch of The Forsythe Saga in 1967 and I vaguely remember this black and white series which was brilliantly based on John Galsworthy’s three novels. Then in 1971 Britain’s ITV channel presented Upstairs, Downstairs.

There were doubters among the commercial television hierarchy as to whether the show could attract a worthwhile audience, so the master tapes were shelved for a year before the series was allocated air time, late on Sunday evenings.

The audience response and its mounting fascination with the lives of the Bellamy family and their servants in Edwardian England, prompted the channel to reschedule the episodes into prime time, and a smash hit was born. The series ran for 68 episodes and major advertisers vied for expensive air time to capitalize on the viewer ratings.

An immediate spinoff from arch-rival BBC was The Duchess of Duke Street. It was all about

the career of a lowly kitchen maid who avoids being seduced by the predatory son of the upstairs toff, then manages to persuade the house chef to take her on as apprentice. She ends

up as the most famous cook in England, owner of a posh London hotel and confidante of the high and mighty.

The biggest blockbuster is ‘Downton Abbey’ Women viewers loved her independent toughness and we men folk had to admit that she was a force to be reckoned with, particularly as the story was based on fact.

And I must mention here our own household’s favourite period piece, which hit TV screens and ran for 11 weeks back in ’82. Brideshead Revisited, adapted from the Evelyn Waugh novel, chronicled the sacred and profane memories of Captain Charles Ryder, and Jeremy Irons as the anti-hero sealed his claim to acting fame in that excellent production.

All of these essentially British shows won major awards on both sides of the Atlantic, so domestic drama featuring the U.K.’s landed gentry became well and truly established as prime Sunday evening entertainment.

Then in 2010 along came the biggest, most ambitious blockbuster, Downton Abbey, and as we all wait for the last season in a series of six, we share anticipation with an audience of 120 million viewers worldwide. The vast cast of characters portrayed by international stars, plus meticulously created sets and beautiful authentic costumes reflect the huge financial investment in the show.

The variety of superb locations too, which include some from my part of the world, have created a recurring sense of nostalgia in many ex-Brits like myself. For us it has been a rather a heady cocktail of entertainment.

No wonder the series has captured so much peer group attention when the annual accolades have been handed out. Downton Abbey has earned the most nominations

This latest series has not escaped criticism from professional reviewers.

Some have labelled the plots as ludicrous and inane, and dismissed the production as nothing more than a period pot boiler. But I don’t buy those opinions and haven’t noticed anybody complain about the sets or the standard of acting.

BILL GREENWELL, columnist

accept a spry new era, while the old one shuffles away.

It has been asserted that the kernel of the whole Downton nut is the perennial parental sigh, the rueful generational comment, ”kids...these days!”

It’s an expression we know too well and it resonates with all of us who have been involved in rearing a family in an accelerating world hell bent on progress. Our youngsters may not yet comprehend all the rules that still govern society, but they’re more than capable of understanding and keeping pace with the emerging technology that occasionally baffles some of us adults. Me included.

So very soon, when British audiences settle back to enjoy the Downton swansong, we’ll no doubt be reading reports of how those leading characters, upstairs and down, get what’s coming to them.

Then later on it will be our turn to join the international audience that this landmark series has created. Meanwhile there’s a rumour that the BBC, envious of its rivals’ success and the massive sponsor revenues and royalties they’re enjoying, has something just as big up its sleeve, which they hope will be more than a match for the Downton Abbey success story.

I look forward to telling you more about it next month.

of any international television series in the history of the Prime Time Emmy awards.

This sort of show inevitably generates a backlash from some people who find the portrayal of class distinction and hereditary entitlement offensive. That’s understandable, because the attitudes, expectations and actions of the moneyed elite have occasionally produced a few cuss words from me too, while watching these various dramas over the years. But that’s the way it was in those days and I’m sure still is, on a diminished scale.

The Cowichan Estuary Restoration and Conservation Association (CERCA) has its sights set on two priority projects in the estuary, worth a total of $145,000.

They include construction of an Estuary Educational Nature Trail and open classroom plus a set-up to monitor salmon smolts.

According to Dr. Goetz Schuerholz, CERCA member and conservation ecologist, the proposed educational nature trail will follow the old railroad line along the Westcan causeway in the centre of the Cowichan Estuary, offering spectacular views of interesting sections of the northern part of the estuary.

The $120,000 project is expected to start by early winter and includes the rehabilitation of a two-acre slough with the aim of reconnecting it with the estuary.

Construction will include eight wooden platforms along the trail, a viewing tower, and a roofed overview billboard at the trail head along with eight billboards with information about the estuary.

The second project involves salmon smolt monitoring at the causeway breach, which the group considers an essential follow-up to the completed breaching of the causeway, Schuerholz said.

“The man-made artificial causeway which effectively has cut the estuary in half for over 60 years, has prevented prop-

er ecosystem functioning, preventing fresh water from Cowichan River entering the southern section of the estuary, and most important, preventing salmon smolt from accessing the only eelgrass fields left in the bay,” Shuerholz said.

“Breaching the causeway allows for estuarine water circulation, re-channeling freshwater from the Cowichan into the southern section, and permitting smolt to access prime habitat to the south of the breach,” he said.

The proposed salmon smolt monitoring will start in 2016 and is expected to provide statistics about how the breach is being used. This project cost will be approximately $25,000.

To help finance these projects, CERCA is holding a fundraising dinner and art auction Friday, Oct. 9, in the banquet room of Arbutus Ridge Golf Club.

The highlight of the evening will be the auction, presented by witty, well-known artist Will Millar and entertainment featuring Millar and Grammy-nominated pianist Michael Creber.

The cover charge for the evening will be $150 per person and there is also a cash bar.

If you plan to attend, confirm your attendance by email to weber_beate@t-online.de or by phoning 250-748-4878 by Sept. 15.

Attendees will receive a complete information package with background on CERCA projects, art objects for the auction, and the menu.

Proudly 100% Cowichan Valley Owned & Operated Plans for this elaborate rain garden may be scaled back when the project gets underway but the idea of using a problematic corner of Ecole Mt. Prevost’s grounds won trustee approval. [SUBMITTED]

School to use problem area of field to build rain garden École Mt. Prevost has been given permission to go ahead with a rain garden project on school property.

The idea, which comes from the school’s parent advisory council (PAC), is to both provide a useful and educational asset for the site and, at the same time, repurpose an area of the field that has been a problem to supervise and to maintain.

They first presented the idea to the board of education in June and, after investigation, trustees, given three proposed options, chose to approve the middle road, picking option two.

It will involve a stream that runs along one corner of the field, landscaping part of the garden with pebbles and introducing no-maintenance wetland plants to naturalize.

An impassable thicket of willow hedge will be planted as a barrier to reduce erosion on the

“Supporting the community with the community’s support”

steep bank and “lessen access for risk-seeking children to an area where they are not currently visible to school staff,” PAC member Petronella Van Oyen said in her submission to the board.

The entire garden project will be paid for by a donation of up to $6,205 from the Cowichan Land Trust. The garden will not encroach on the soccer field; rain garden enthusiasts are expected to volunteer in the garden, reducing the risk of vandalism and littering “by creating a regular positive presence” on the school grounds.

Humpback whales were the targets of B.C. whalers in the late 1800s. [WIKIMEDIA COMMONS] exchange as the B.C. Whaling Co. Ironically, as the late Maud Emory noted in 1961, “catches were smaller than in previous years. Whales were reported to be numerous north of the Euclatah [sic] Rapids, but scarce south of that area.

“By January of 1872, whales had become so scarce in the [Strait of Georgia] that the B.C. Whaling Co. went into liquidation, and in March of 1872, the entire plant and effects of the company, including the schooner Kate, and a pre-emption claim on Hornby Island of 100 acres, with a wellbuilt wharf, frame buildings, cooper’s shed, were sold at auction.”

James Dawson and his associates may have been the first to try whaling on a commercial scale although Hudson’s Bay Co.’s Sir George Simpson had unsuccessfully urged his employers, as early as 1842,

to included harpooners in the crew of the company’s steamship, Beaver.

Whalers, incidentally, were interested only in the mammal’s oil which, in the late 1860s and early ‘70s, brought $1.20 a gallon on New York markets; 20th century whalers joked that “nothing is wasted but the smell!” (As anyone unfortunate enough to live downwind of a whale processing plant could bitterly attest.)

In 1905 the Victoria Whaling Co. was founded; over ensuing years the original organization went under the names Canadian Northern Fisheries, Pacific Whaling Co., and the Consolidated Whaling Co. Stations were established in the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) at Rose (thereby for a time making a liar of Shakespeare) and Naden harbours, and on the west coast of Vancouver Island at Sechart

and Cachalot in Kyuquot Sound.

As had been the case of Dawson and partners, business went well in earlier seasons, the firm’s annual income often exceeding $1 million. But in almost 40 years of operation the annual catch dropped from 1,200 whales to the hopeless total of 163 in 1942. The fact that Japan, once the biggest customer for B.C. whale products, was at war with us sealed Consolidated Whaling’s doom.

Jack Fleetwood recalled having seen the “rotting stubs of the wharf in the sands of Malahat Beach in 1927, and also the remains of buildings along the lagoon... The sea, in its turbulence, still revealed the occasional disintegrating whale rib — mute evidence of a once-thriving industry in Cowichan Country.” www.twpaterson.com

The September Festival at St. John’s Anglican Church in Cobble Hill is celebrating 30 years. [SUBMITTED]

◆ COMING UP IN COWICHAN

Keep your eyes open for grocery bags to arrive on your doorstep.

For the fourth year, there will be 36 teams of volunteers dropping off bags to fill for the Chemainus and Duncan food banks between Sept. 14-17 at 5,000 houses in the Cowichan Valley.

On Saturday, Sept. 19 between 10 a.m. and noon the same teams will collect the full bags of food and take them to be sorted and weighed. Last year, the collection garnered over 12,000 pounds of food.

This is an initiative of the Church of Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ and many community groups associated with the food banks and is done across the country. If people want to volunteer to help with the food drive, contact 250-710-2903.

English language classes starting The Cowichan Intercultural Society is registering participants for another season of LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada.)

Classes provide basic and intermediate level English training for adults and are free to eligible new and returning students. LINC began on Tuesday.

Did you know?

The Diner en Blanc, or White Dinner, was a concept started in 1988 by François Pasquier in France.

He invited a group of friends to an elegant outdoor meal, but kept the location a secret until the last minute. Classic White Dinners are still held in this manner, with only a select few notified of the secret location.

LINC assists newcomers with four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Field trips and guest speakers make the classes interesting and help students learn about life in Canada, while providing opportunities to practice English.

Last year the program assisted over 60 participants build their English language skills, make community connections and adapt to life in Canada.

Classes start in early September, but students may enrol at any time over the year.

The Cowichan Intercultural Society is the leading immigrant aid organization in the region.

To inquire about enrolling in LINC, contact The Cowichan Intercultural Society, Settlement Program at settlement@ cis-iws.org

Slow down with White Dinner at Cow Bay The annual Cittaslow White Dinner is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 13 from 4-9 p.m. at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre pier.

This is all about spontaneous, open air dining with friends and like-minded folks. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children, which includes your choice of chicken or fish.

It’s all about zero waste so bring your own tableware and side dishes to use and take

home with you afterwards.

NOTE: not to be confused with the White Dinner held at Rocky Creek Winery on Saturday, Sept. 26.

September Festival celebrating 30 years It was 30 years ago this September that St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Cobble Hill held its first modest yard sale to celebrate fall.

This Sept. 19 you can see just how much the annual event has grown as the church hosts the St. John’s September Festival from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

“From the mists of time there are memories of delicious dinners with entertainment one evening followed by a yard sale the next day,” reads a notice of the event. “Over the years those fledgling yard sales have grown into a Mega Yard Sale, the dinners have changed to Divine Desserts, hamburgers and other tasty foods.”

The sale also boasts a country store, clothing, books, jewelry, silent auction, and children’s activities. The festival is setting up an active zero waste program this year as well.

Some of the proceeds go to support local, national and international charities.

The church is located at 3295 Cobble Hill Rd.

lo: Hi Debra. Thanks for making time to meet with me. Can you tell me a bit about your family and your connection to the Cowichan Valley?

Debra: My name is Qwulti’stunaat. My grandparents are the late Rosie Peter, and the late Stephen Jack from Quamichan. My mother is Ethel Jack and my father is Howard Wong. I’ve lived in the Cowichan Valley all my life, so I am well connected to the land.

Flo: I understand that through your participation as a Cowichan Watershed Board member, you are helping with the Board’s goal of being able to safely eat shellfish from Cowichan Bay again by 2020. Thank you for your work on that!

What kind of things contribute to the health and edibility of the shellfish? Can you tell us about the history and importance of the clam harvest to Cowichan people?

Debra: The clam beds in Cowichan Bay used to be so productive that they fed Cowichan people through the winter. Historically shellfish have been extremely important to Cowichan people both as a source of nutrition but also socially and culturally. However since 1973 there has been a ban on clam harvesting because they are not safe to eat. Many factors have contributed to this situation such as sewage from vessels and float homes, the sewage outfall in the river and

runoff from farmlands — particularly associated with poor manure management. All of those factors play a role in contaminating the water.

The feasibility of relocating the sewage outflow is currently being looked at. That is a good step towards improving water quality.

Flo: There are clearly some significant water quality issues, and these are the reason our shellfish are unsafe to eat. What is the Watershed Board’s water sampling work indicating, and what is the Watershed Board doing to clean up the water?

Debra: The Watershed Board worked with the Ministry of Environment and a number of other partners to initiate three-year comprehensive water sampling in 2012. That project included DNA testing and found that some of the pollutants are bovine, meaning from cow manure.

Others are human, and based on the sampling locations, those seem to be associated with marinas and float homes. As a result of that project the Watershed Board has worked with a number of our local farmers to develop a plan to stop manure and other pollutants from running into the streams and rivers. The goal was to get 12 farmers on board with moving this initiative forward. In addition the CVRD has been working on a marine bylaw to help address some of the human sources of pollution.

Flo: Being able to eat the shellfish in five years is a wonderful but challenging goal. Do you think you’ll get there?

Debra: It’s a wonderful dream. It will take a lot of hard work to get there. The solutions are there, we just have to make them happen.

Flo: Any last thoughts?

Debra: Our Cowichan River is a Heritage River. People take it for granted every day. But only when it’s gone, or polluted, will people be up in arms saying, “how did this happen?” That is what the Watershed Board and Cowichan Tribes are trying to point out. Working together we can do amazing things but we need to start today.

Local online Farmers Market up and running

You can now order local produce online. [CITIZEN FILE]

Online shoppers in the Cowichan region are now able to buy produce from their own homes via the Cow-op.ca, the region’s first online farmers’ marketplace of locally grown and processed food.

Cow-op.ca offers consumers an ever-changing variety of seasonal veggies, fruits, meats, eggs, cheeses, preserves, baking, honey and more all grown or produced throughout the Cowichan Region.

The online model is convenient for food producers and customers alike, say organizers, as the farmers save time and buyers are able to shop from their computer year-round while directly supporting local family farms and businesses.

“Anyone will be able to use this service,” explained Jenni Capps, market manager for the Cow-op. ca.

“It is open to families, individuals, restaurants, retailers and wholesalers. It is a really convenient way for busy families and others who cannot always get to

The weekly ordering cycle runs from Friday to Tuesday, when the system temporarily closes to allow farmers and processors to fulfill their orders and prepare for delivery.

All items ordered are delivered to Cowichan Green Community’s commercial kitchen Thursday mornings, located at 360 Duncan St. right next to the Duncan Garage.

Pre-bagged orders are picked up by the customer each Thursday afternoon 3-6 p.m.

Did you know?

The tradition of agricultural fairs was brought to Canada by the British settlers.

The earliest agricultural society in Canada was established in Nova Scotia in 1765.

Ontario was second in 1792 with the Agricultural Society of Upper Canada based at Niagara on the Lake.

From there, the concept of agricultural societies, which almost inevitably brought fall fairs with them, spread across Ontario and westward.

Today, many fairs, like the Cowichan Exhibition, still feature traditional things such as animals, needlework, baking and preserves — alongside the modern midway and photography exhibits, of course.

Don’t miss the Cowichan Exhibition this weekend.

What’s more, the average book available is at least 15 years old, and an ongoing lack of school funding has left bookshelves badly depleted.

Experts agree that early exposure to books is a great way to spark a child’s imagination and creativity. School libraries play a big role in encouraging kids to read and develop a sense of curiosity and adventure, especially in low-income areas where kids may not have access to books at home.

However, most high-needs elementary schools in Canada don’t have the necessary funds to provide students with adequate access to books – in

“There are a lot of children in Canada who don’t have one book at home and who rely on their schools to help them find the book that will ignite their imagination,” says Jennifer Jones, vice president of the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation. “The Indigo Adopt a School program supports under-funded school libraries by providing one book for every child, so they each have the chance to find their lifelong love of reading.”

FALL REGISTRATIONS 10 ways to manage school stress (NC) Adults, teens and even children can experience stress, especially during the school year. While stress can be the body’s way of preparing us to cope with potentially threatening situations, it becomes a problem when it interferes with our ability to properly handle our daily routines.

Here are some tips to help you minimize its negative effects: 1. Figure out the source of your stress. Oftentimes we feel like everything is overwhelming. However, by getting specific and pinpointing the stressors in your life, you’re closer to coping.

2. Focus on what you can control. Identify these stress triggers and determine how to take action.

3. Learn about relaxation, breathing, meditation and visualization techniques to help relax your mind.

4. Breathe to manage your symptoms. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower your body’s stress level.

5. Getting enough sleep is crucial. Stress sometimes causes troubled sleep and in turn insomnia reduces your ability to fight stress.

6. Manage your time. Organize your day and priorities more effectively. Learn to delegate and let go.

7. Take the time to eat well. Your body needs the energy and proper nutrients to help face and manage stress. A healthy diet will ensure that you are fueled to succeed in all your daily tasks.

8. Take part in physical exercise, especially outdoors if you can. Yoga, for example, is proven as a stress-relieving activity.

Award winning choir seeking new members aged 18+ who read music, have previous choir experience, enjoy learning challenging music and singing with an energetic and motivated group of women.

2016.

For an audition, call Christine Dandy 250-715-1568 or cell 250-710-3671 www.encorewomenschoir.com

9. Adopt a positive attitude. Put things into perspective and don’t dwell on the negative.

10. Look for help. While options for treatment to ease stress can be limited, homeopathic products such as Sedatil provide relief of nervousness, irritability, and hypersensitivity without drowsiness or risk of dependency.

It offers a non-sedative solution that calms you down, yet allows you to remain alert and focused to react and accomplish what you need to during stressful situations. Recommended for everyone 12 years of age and older, Sedatil is perfect for stress that comes on very quickly: such as a student worried about a test, an older adult anxious about a medical exam or procedure, an anxious flyer, or an executive worried about an important presentation.

JOHN PHILIP GORE May 22, 1948 – August 12, 2015

Daryl John Fontana April 15th 1924 – August 31st 2015 In Loving memory of Daryl John Fontana, our father, grand-father, great-grandfather and dear friend.

John died of a heat stroke in the early morning hours of August 12th while on vacation in Prague. He had fought deteriorating health for almost twenty years but never gave up in the face of adversity.

A gentle giant, compassionate, kind and patient to the end, he had a never-ending curiosity about this world. He will be deeply missed by his wife Yolande, his children Aerin, Caitlin, Keera, Kevin and Simon, his sisters Judy and Roz as well as nieces, nephews and cousins. A memorial service will be held on September 20th at 1:30 pm at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 5800 Church Rd, Duncan.

You courageously served your country during WWII ying 39 missions for the RCAF as a tailgunner. You were a big time ďŹ sherman, avid hunter and an extraordinary athlete who excelled on many different ďŹ elds, tracks and ice. You were curious and always straight to the point. You lived your life your way, and what a life it was. You deďŹ nitely went out in style and with a tremendous amount of grace. We are missing you greatly.

Ian Collin Caldwell

There will be a Celebration of Life held in Duncan; DTBA. Inquiries can be sent to his son, Daryl Fontana, at darylfontana@gmail.com or by phone 250-701-3954.

March 15, 1944 - September 6, 2015 The family of Ian Caldwell are very saddened to announce his passing. Ian will be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humour, and ability to strike a conversation and leave a smile on the face of those he just met.

Ian was born and raised in Regina, Sk except for his high school years when his parents moved to Alida, Sk after buying the Alida Hotel. After high i h school h l Ian I movedd back b k to Regina where he met and married Pat Cuming in 1966. In 1969 Ian joined the Leader Post as a news photographer later becoming their Chief Photographer and Managing Photo Editor until retiring Sept 13, 1996.

In 2002 Ian and Pat decided to move to Vancouver Island and chose Duncan as the place to call home. They both fell in love with the area and feel fortunate to have met and made so many wonderful new friends.

Ian leaves behind his wife Pat, their son and daughter-in-law Shaun and Kristy and Grampa’s pride and joy Brendan and Erica. Our daughter Stacey and his much loved Grandkitties Neko and Kuma. Ian’s sister, nephew and niece Margo Livingston (predeceased Al), Ward (Deidra) and Lesley (Jon). Brother-in-law Doug Cuming, sister-in-law Susan Etheridge, plus many wonderful nieces and nephews, and a long list of close family friends.

Ian was predeceased by his mother and step-father Evelyn and Marshall Caldwell, Ian’s father Stan Kerr, plus brothers & sister-in-law.

Although Ian has left this world, he leaves behind many fond memories that will continue to put both smiles on our faces and tears in our eyes.

Wesley Lief Hegglund

June 11th, 1960 - September 5th, 2015 It is with the heaviest of hearts earts he that our family shares the passing of Wesley Lieff Hegglund; taken from us unexpectedly in the waters off of Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island on Sept 5th 2015.  Wesley was born on June 11th 1960 in Duncan BC, to parents Earl and Dorthyy Hegglund and is survived by a, son his father Earl, wife Angela, Cory Burton (Staci), siblingss Carl Hegglund Jr (Mary(Mary Anne), John Hegglund (Amanda), Vicki Fenton (Tim), Maria Rose (Andrew); his nieces and nephews Aaron, Courtenay, Hannah, Tor, Dakota, Daniel, Max, Riley, Shelby, Jackson, Olivia and Demi; and great niece and nephew Lily and Easton.  Wes graduated with an honours degree in Hard Knocks from Hecate Straight University; an institution reserved for only the toughest commercial fishermen on the westcoast. Through hard work and determination he attained his lifelong ambition of becoming a commercial fishing vessel Captain - a career he enjoyed immensely.

He married his best friend and true love Angela in July 2000, and after moving to back to Vancouver Island they continued building their life together with their friends and family here in the Cowichan Valley.  A Celebration of life is scheduled for Saturday 12th September 2015 at 2pm at the Crofton Community Centre, 8104 Musgrave. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Wes’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations in Wes’s name are being gratefully accepted for the Crofton Sea Walk c/o the Crofton Community Centre.

A lover not a fighter, Wes was and will always be, “the best man,� in his life and work. Loved by all who knew him, he will be deeply missed.

Bernard Champoux September 25, 1938 - September 6, 2015 On September 6th, our husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather Bernie, passed over from this world to the next part of his journey. The last few years of his life here on earth were a struggle and we celebrate his release while feeling deeply the loss of his presence.

Bernie’s life was filled with family. Bernie and the love of his life, Fay, were married for 57 years. In that time they created a clan that included 3 daughters and a son, 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. They were closely connected to an extended family that often included friends who became family. Bernie loved gatherings of the clan, Fay’s cooking, card games, dogs, horses, fishing, and enjoyed a very successful career as a heavy equipment operator.

Bernie will be remembered as a generous, dedicated, stubborn, loving, mischievous man with a warm smile and a big heart.

His family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Cairnsmore for their loving care of Bernie in the last months of his life. No services are planned at this time, but a celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Online condolences can be posted at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Jackson Andrew Parks May 22, 1949 - September 5, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Jack on Saturday, September 5, 2015. Jack grew up in Port Alberni where he met the love of his life, Anne, and together raised their family in the Cowichan Valley. They shared 45 years together and were blessed with two wonderful children, Crystal (Matt) and Darryl (Victoria) and four cherished grandchildren Zebbidy, Zoey, Mekina and LĂŠa. He also leaves behind numerous brothers, sisters, extended family, and dear friends.

Jack was a devoted husband, father, and Papa with a strong passion for life and people. He had the unique gift of making people feel special and bringing laughter into the world. Heaven's gain is our loss, and we will all miss him deeply.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, September 12th, at 1pm at Sands Funeral Chapel in Duncan, 187 Trunk Road. Light refreshments to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers contributions in Jack's name to a charity of the donor's choice. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212

Goalie Ty Rennie and the Kerry Park Islanders will play their 2015/16 VIJHL season home opener against the Peninsula Panthers this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Isles find the right mix KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

With the recent signings of Cowichan minor hockey products Tanner Tiel and Ty Berger, the Kerry Park Islanders have their roster at 23 players, and they are all set to kick off the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season.

“It’s a good mix of veterans and young guys,” Islanders owner Mark Osmond said.

In addition to Tiel and Berger, the Isles have also brought on board local players Caleb Franklin, Connor Bissett and Dawson Haines, all 17 or younger. At the other end of the spectrum is a full complement of 20-year-olds led by captain David Bittner and rounded out by Chris Carpentier, Lynden Eddy, Kyle Green, Ryan Paisley, Corey Peterson and Zack Smith.

The team boasts three sets of brothers as well: Keegan and Connor Bissett, Zack and Ty

Smith, and Lynden and Keenan Eddy. Keenan Eddy just returned to the Isles from the Cowichan Valley Capitals camp where he was a late cut, but is expected to be back as an affiliate.

The Isles played their first regular-season game on Thursday evening, looking to open the season with a win over the Victoria Cougars. Results were not available at press time.

“We told them we’re not going down to play, we’re going down to win,” Osmond said.

The team was looking for its first win over Victoria since Osmond bought the team in 2012.

“We came close last year when we went to overtime in our barn, but that’s the closest we’ve been,” he said. “It’s time; we’re due.”

The Isles will make their home debut Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against the Peninsula Panthers.

They’re starting the season a little later than most VIJHL teams, but that won’t make a

difference in the long run.

“Lots of teams have already played a couple of games,” Osmond said. “We’ve got a heavy schedule in October and November, so we’ll be catching up pretty quick. I’m optimistic and hopeful of a banner season for this team.”

On Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Kerry Park players are doing a six-hour spin bike relay in front of Mill Bay Thrifty Foods, a fundraiser to help Rob Webb — an RCMP officer and assistant coach of the Islanders — collect money for Tour de Rock.

The bikes are being provided

by Valley Health and Fitness, and Cycle Therapy is providing a tent.

Players have been canvassing for donations, and money will also be collected onsite.

“Maybe you can make them cycle quicker for a price,” Osmond laughed.

tain, and Osczevski gets that.

“I try to hold guys accountable and I try to hold myself as accountable as possible,” said Osczevksi.

“It’s a season full of anticipation and excitement for Capitals fans and the team itself with expectations being raised. I can hopefully help guys get better and be a good leader. We’re getting ready for a good season, we’re going to get a lot of wins this year and we’re going to work our tails off to get there.”

Osczevski had three points in 13 games with Kelowna before the trade, but found his offensive touch with Cowichan, scoring 12 goals and assisting on nine more in 41 contests.

The Caps made another tweak to their roster on Wednesday, getting 20-year-old forward Patrick Geary from the Lloydminster Bobcats of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in exchange for 19-year-old forward Mackenzie Bauer.

Twenty-year-old forward Adam Osczevski has been picked to lead the Cowichan Valley Capitals into the 2015/16 B.C. Hockey League season, which begins this Friday when the Caps host the Victoria Grizzlies at 7 p.m.

Osczevski came to the Caps along with Kade Kehoe in an early-season trade with the West Kelowna Warriors last year, and according to head coach Bob Beatty, he made an immediate impact on and off the ice.

“Adam is what you want the Capitals identity to be all about,” Beatty said. “He is a spirited, hard working player that plays both ends of the ice with intensity and passion. He has the courage to block a shot, take and give a hit, or stick up for his teammates. Most importantly, he will stand up for what he believes in and not only challenge his teammates and coaches to be better, but hold himself accountable to the highest standard.”

Lean, mean LMG begins defence of league banner KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

As they prepare to open their defence of the Vancouver Island Soccer League championship and Jackson Cup title, Cowichan LMG is starting the season with a lean and mean lineup.

“We’re looking alright,” coach Glen Martin said. “We have a very small roster. We’ll try to get away with as few guys as possible until guys start coming back from university. We just can’t afford any injuries or guys being away right now.”

It doesn’t help that the team lost Ryan Ashley, a highly touted defender who played alongside Tyler Hughes with the Victoria Highlanders, when he found a new job in Vancouver.

“That sucks,” Martin said.

“He’s a big, strong defender who could have helped us.”

Still, the coach is feeling good about the players he does have.

“We’ll be alright. We have low numbers but the quality is good.”

LMG will open the season this

“We have a very small roster. We’ll try to get away with as few guys as possible until guys start coming back from university.”

GLEN MARTIN, Cowichan LMG head coach

Saturday on the road against Westcastle United at Westhills Stadium Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Cowichan beat Westcastle twice last season: 7-1 at home last year, and 2-0 on the road.

“They’ll probably look the same as last year,” Martin said.

“As long as we score first, that’s the key in this league.”

Cowichan’s first home game is set for Sept. 19 when they host Comox at 4 p.m. at the Sherman Road field.

In Div. 2, Cowichan United will play at Powell River Villa this Sunday, and will be at home to Prospect Lake next Saturday at 6 p.m.

Tough start for bantam ’Dogs KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Cowichan Bulldogs were caught a little off guard last Sunday when they opened the Vancouver Mainland Football League bantam nine-man season with a 56-1 loss at home against the Westside Warriors.

“Westside is an experienced group,” Cowichan head coach Mike Williams said. “They were a bunch of 14-year-olds last year, and now they’re a bunch of 15-year-olds. They’ve had a couple of pre-season jamborees, so they were more game-ready than we were.”

Williams still found some things to like about his team’s performance. The offence, he said, looked good, particularly when Dakota Cullum carried the ball. Cullum went on runs of 31 and 32 yards, finishing the game with 119 yards on 13 carries.

“He played a lot of defence, too,” Williams said.

It was when the Warriors had the ball that the Bulldogs made the most mistakes, beginning on the first play when Westside ran for a 90-yard touchdown.

“Our defence gave up a lot of big plays,” Williams said. “It showed that we weren’t game ready because our tackling was poor. We’ve got work to do.”

On an individual level, Evan Kwasny had a fine outing, with three solo tackles and one assist.

One of the bright spots for Cowichan last weekend, Dakota Cullum carries the ball against Westside. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] “Overall, I was pleased with how we looked in spots,” Williams said. “Moving forward, we need to work on knowing our assignments and our tackling.”

Williams felt even better about his team after watching game video.

“We looked better than what the score indicated,” he said.

The bantams will have a bye

this weekend while the midget Cowichan Timbermen will play their season opener on the road against the White Rock Titans.

Both teams will play at McAdam Park on Sunday, Sept. 20. The bantams at 12:30 p.m. against the Cloverdale Leopards and the midgets in their home opener at 2:30 p.m. against the Coquitlam Falcons.

MIXING IT UP

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Rain and win forced organizers to alter the schedule for the first-ever Oceanfront Suites Dragon Boat Festival at Cowichan Bay on Aug. 29, but the shortened event was still a hit.

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

Second visit to Island Ford and again EXCELLENT customer service and quality of workmanship. Well worth the easy drive from Victoria. Not only did I get the recommended service of oil change, tire rotation etc however they went the extra mile and washed and vacuumed my car! If that isn’t excellent customer service. Absolutely NEVER happened in - gerryisagirltoo Victoria. Highly recommend Island Ford
