Candidates ready for pre-election ‘marathon’SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Will Stephen Harper’s Conserv-atives remain in power? Will Jus-tin Trudeau’s Liberals or Tom Mulcair’s New Democrats usher in change? Has Elizabeth May’s Green Party gained ground since the last election?

It’s the longest federal election campaign since 1872 so it’ll be months before the final result is known.

One thing is certain, however, local candidates are gearing up for the challenge of earning themselves the Cowichan-Mala-hat-Langford seat at the House of Commons in Ottawa.

“I think that Harper did a very irresponsible and selfish move with dropping the writ at this time,” Liberal Party candidate Maria Manna said. “It means more taxpayers dollars going towards the campaign.”

She believes Harper’s plan is to “physically and financially” exhaust the parties, “but I think we’re a little smarter than that,” she said.

NPD candidate Alistair Mac-

gregor called the campaign length frustrating but said he’s not afraid of putting in the effort.

“We’re just keeping in our minds that it’s a marathon not a sprint and we’re going to pace ourselves,” he said. “Like every-thing in life, it just requires hard work.”

Green Party of Canada candi-date Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi said she is hoping for some campaign decorum.

“I look forward to a spirited and respectful campaign with my fellow candidates, all of whom deserve our appreciation for put-ting their names forward to run for public office,” she said.

Conservative party nominee John Koury confirmed his party will chose their candidate on Aug. 29.

“With the election on, talks are finished and the wheels are in motion to pick a venue and select a candidate with enough time to win,” he said, adding he hopes it’s him and his party on top at the end of the day.

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The search for Penelakut Island teen Delores (Deedee) Brown has intensified.

The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has joined the Ladysmith RCMP and the Island District General Investigation Section in an expanded investigation into the 18-year-old’s disappearance.

Brown was last seen on Penelakut Island on July 27. She was reported missing two days later. Family says it’s uncharacteristic for Brown to not be reachable.

Island District RCMP spokesman Cpl. Darren Lagan said there were no updates after a week-end of searching.

“Our team of investigators continue their work at this hour, ensuring every investiga-tive lead is followed up, in an effort to bring answers to Delores’ family and her com-munity,” Lagan said. “We urge anyone with information on her whereabouts to call us immediately.”

Brown is a First Nations woman standing approximately five-foot-six and weighing about 120 pounds. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a hoodie and carrying a backpack and was leav-ing the Island to go to visit her grandmother, who lives in Chemainus.

Due to health reasons, Brown’s grandmother is unable to confirm if she arrived for her planned visit.

“This is very out of character for Miss Brown, who has left behind her phone,” said Cpl. Rick Fraser of the Ladysmith RCMP. “Her family is very worried.”

Community members have joined the family in an active search for Brown. They have knocked on doors and searched the shoreline without results.

Police ask anyone who may have seen Delores since July 27, 2015, or has information on her whereabouts, to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Duncan Fire Hall’s loss is a loss for its entire service area.

Sometime between Friday night and Saturday afternoon the department’s water tender was broken into and items crucial to the volunteer organization’s work were stolen — some of it pried right off the body of the vehicle.

The crew noticed the missing gear Saturday when they were called out to a bush fire.

The tender’s radio, emergency light-ing, lifejackets, siren and controller, as

well as a backup camera were among the $10,000 worth of items taken as it was parked behind a locked gate beside the hall, not inside, due to seismic upgrading.

“The tender was out of service for a couple of days. It’s back in service now but with reduced emergency equipment,” said deputy fire chief Art Sanderson.

It will be unable to cut through traffic without light and sirens, and in a fire, he said, every minute counts.

“If we’re going to a call, we will be going slower,” Sanderson said.

The gear wasn’t replaced as of Monday.

“We still have to go to the insurance company to get all of that taken care of,” he said.

Sanderson expected the truck would be short on equipment for about a week or so, possibly longer.

“It is very disappointing,” he said. Those with information about this

or any other crime are encouraged to contact the fire hall at 250-746-5211, the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

All Cowichan Valley wildfi res outSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Cowichan has stopped burning — for now anyway.

Coastal Fire Centre Fire Information Officer Donna MacPherson has con-firmed all four of the region’s wildfires are effectively out.

Crews are still on patrol to ensure there are no flare ups.

The two big ones — the Skutz Falls fire, which maxed out at about 16 hect-ares, and the Copper Canyon (Hill 60) fire, which ran about 7.5 hectares, are both extinguished but under patrol.

The small fire at the top of Meade Creek and the one at Kingburne (Cob-ble Hill) are also to the point of patrol.

“Crews have gone in and they’ve cleaned up all of the hot spots that they could find. Somebody will go back peri-odically to make sure there’s no more smoke showing or any heat showing anywhere,” MacPherson said. “If there is they’ll bring people back in and deal with it but it’s not visibly smoking or

appreciably hot at this point.”That’s not to say the fires couldn’t be

burning underground, however. That’s why crews are keeping an eye on the areas.

“It’s possible that a root or something

underground is hidden right now,” she said. But overall, “It is good news.”

MacPherson noted Cowichan is still one of the Coastal Fire Centre’s drier areas so it’s nice to see some rain falling on the region.

“Cowichan Malahat Langford is the most excit-ing new riding in Canada. Conservatives have been working hard to win,” Koury said. Also running for the nomination are Martin Barker, Melissa Hailey, and Jeremy Smyth.

Macgregor said he’s also been working hard, knocking on doors on both ends of the riding since early April.

“I know that Langford traditionally orients itself to the CRD (Capital Regional District), but I have been down there quite a bit and I know that for the young families that live there, afford-ability issues are really top of mind,” he said. “And I have been a resident of the Cowichan Val-ley for 26 years. This is certainly my home and I think I will be giving equal and fair attention to both parts of the riding.”

Manna said an election campaign this long gives her the opportunity to speak with more constituents.

“It means introducing myself but more import-antly listening to as many people’s needs as pos-sible,” she said. “That’s the position of a candi-date is to find out what everybody needs and let them know that you will try to do as much as you can to bring their voice to Ottawa.”

Manna added though, that the new Cowic-han-Malahat-Langford riding could be tricky.

“It’s so vast but hopefully with door knocking, volunteers, getting the word out in the news-paper and trying to be as vocal as possible, and out there, you will garner the attention of the majority of people and let them know who you are and what you’re about,” she said.

Hunt-Jinnouchi said she’s proud to be the only candidate opposing increased tanker traffic on the Salish Sea, standing up for the region and defending its coasts.

“In this election, the people of Cowichan-Mala-hat-Langford have the choice to vote for a can-didate who will best represent their interests in Ottawa. We have a real opportunity to vote for hope, not fear, on Oct.19,” Hunt-Jinnouchi said. “People are looking for a renewal of our democracy, and my commitment to the voters of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford is to represent the interests of this riding ahead of party or special interests.”

Hunt-Jinnouchi said she’s got the experience needed to be the riding’s MP.

“I intend to join Elizabeth May and other Green MPs in bringing a spirit of respect, democracy, and cooperation to the House of Commons,” she said.

Nearly two years after the sud-den death of 11-year-old Caleb Kroffat, a coroner’s investiga-tion has determined that it was the result of natural causes.

After an autopsy was unable to identify an anatomical cause of death, a post mortem genetic test was completed by the B.C. Inherited Arrhythmia Program, and found a genetic mutation associated with an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmia. Cor-oner Courtney Cote concluded

that inherited cardiac arrhyth-mia was the cause of Kroffat’s death.

Kroffat was found unrespon-sive by a bus driver outside the Island Savings Centre during a Cowichan Valley Capitals hock-ey game that he was attending with his family. Despite immedi-ate cardiopulmonary resusci-tation from the bus driver and other members of the public, and further CPR by paramedics, he was pronounced dead less than an hour after arriving at the Cowichan District Hospital.

Folks concerned about the state of the Cowichan River can join in cleaning it up on Saturday, Aug. 15 at Lake Cowichan.

It’s a day of fresh air, fun and commun-ity involvement, organized for the seventh year in a row by the Cowichan Lake & Riv-er Stewardship Society, with lots of chan-ces to get wet, if you want to, and to work on land, if you’d rather stay dry.

Everything starts at 8:30 a.m. beside the Lake Cowichan Town Hall with a free continental breakfast. Then, from 9-10 a.m. everyone who’s taking part needs to register before getting their marching orders.

Finally, at about 2 p.m. there’s a free windup barbecue for participants, provid-ed by Jakes at The Lake.

In addition, every registered participant will receive a tube rental gift certificate from Orka Outdoor Adventures and there are door prizes awarded at the end of the event which include gift certificates from local restaurants as well as gift packs from Orka.

This is definitely a family-friendly event, there is plenty to do and opportunities for

all ages and abilities.Any children under 14 helping out in the

water must be accompanied by an adult, but with the water level so low this year, there are opportunities in plenty this year.

A word to the water wise: bring appro-priate gear for working in the river like gloves, shoes that tolerate water and swim-wear or snorkel and dive gear if you wish to help out that way.

Even if you don’t want to get wet, it’s pos-sible to walk the river banks and pick up garbage which would otherwise wash into the water when the rains finally come.

And if you have a truck, the cleanup wants you, too.

The pickups will be used to support the removal of trash taken out of the river and to transport any swimming or walking vol-unteers to cleanup sites.

And finally, the organizers also need help from people with small boats that would be suitable for work between the weir and the big pool (below the car bridge). These boats will be used to support the swimmers and divers removing trash from the river.

If you can help with a truck or a boat or want more details, contact Sandy Cum-ming at [email protected] or 250-710-679.


The Cowichan Valley is one of five com-munities on the Island receiving provin-cial funds to improve cycling opportuni-ties this year.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure announced Thursday that Cowichan was in line for $440,000 of a nearly-$1.4-million BikeBC pot to expand and build cycling lanes, trails and paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

“These are new funds, not previ-ously announced funds,” confirmed CVRD parks and trails manager Brian Farquhar.

He said the provincial BikeBC grant will allow the CVRD, in partnership with Malahat Nation, to complete a key sec-tion of the Cowichan Valley Trail, closing the gap in the Trans Canada Trail route between Shawnigan Lake and the Capi-tal Regional District’s Galloping Goose Trail.

The new section will be close to four kilometres in length.

“Completing this key trail link will greatly expand the interconnection of trails on southern Vancouver Island, increasing outdoor recreation access for cyclists and hikers,” Farquhar said.

Other communities receiving BikeBC funds this time around include: Langford ($321,350), Port Alberni ($70,000), Saanich ($140,000), and Victoria ($440,000).

The funds come from B.C. on the Move, the province’s new 10-year transportation plan aimed at improving British Colum-bia’s overall transportation network.

BikeBC is the province’s cost-sharing program that helps local governments build cycling projects that attract and support both recreational and commut-ing cyclists as well as pedestrians.

B.C. on the Move has committed $18 million over the next three years to the BikeBC program.

“By increasing our funding for the BikeBC program by 50 per cent this year, more communities in B.C. have been able to enhance their cycling infrastructure, benefitting both residents and visitors,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure. “The scope and variety of these projects on Vancouver Island are impressive and once complet-ed, will increase cycling opportunities for people up and down the Island.”

Call CLBC after special needs child turns 16

I read with concern your July 29 story “Special needs kids face gap in Cowichan”. Thank you for highlighting the issue of the transition families go through after graduation. Families rightly want a positive future for their loved ones. Community Living BC (CLBC) is the govern-ment agency with a mandate to support individuals with developmental disabilities after they turn 19.

The story highlights well that sometimes it takes time to find the right services to help a per-son become as independent as possible in their community.

But I want to respond to the concern that families have nowhere to go.

Any family with questions or concerns should reach out to their local CLBC staff after their loved ones turn 16. It is important to begin the planning process as early as possible. There are a range of programs and agencies in the Cowichan Valley area that provide support services, and today CLBC funds services for more than 320 indi-viduals in these programs.

The story also mentioned a local business proposal made to CLBC. While it is not within our mandate to provide start-up funding for business ideas, we encourage local investors to sup-port such efforts.

In fact, a key way for individ-uals and families to achieve as much independence as possible, and for communities to become as inclusive as possible, is for local employers to create jobs for people with diverse abilities. I also call on employers and area groups to support a vision of full inclusion for all.

Seonag MacraeCEO, Community Living BC

Strategic voting important for election

Elizabeth May’s excellent per-formance in last week’s leaders’ debate may well boost Green Party fortunes in the upcoming federal election. How ironic that her success could lead to every Green’s worst nightmare — another Harper majority. The reason for such a bizarre outcome lies with our antiquat-ed electoral system which can allow the least desired candidate to ride to victory on a wave of vote splitting.

I live in Ms. May’s riding and plan to cast my vote in her favour. I will do so because I oppose the Conservative agenda and know for certain that Ms. May stands a great chance of

being re-elected. If I were a Green supporter in

another riding, I would think more carefully about voting Green. The question foremost in my mind would be this: Which candidate stands the best chance of defeating the Conservative?

In the coming weeks, a grass-roots organization called Lead-now will attempt to prevent vote splitting in swing ridings. Pro-gressive voters will be encour-aged to “vote together” to keep Conservative candidates from winning. This is a very positive initiative.

Greens should abandon the idea of garnering as many votes as possible and focus instead on the long-term goal of electoral reform. (A good showing by the

Green Party this time around would be irrelevant if we end up with another four years of the Harper wrecking ball.)

Once a new electoral system is in place, as promised by both the NDP and Liberals, strategic voting will no longer be neces-sary and Green voters will gain full representation in Parlia-ment. It’s a matter of simple arithmetic.

Trophy hunting should be banned.

The issue popped into the public awareness with the recent killing in Africa of Cecil the lion, who ordinarily resided in a protected refuge, but was lured out, tortured and killed by an American tourist who paid handsomely for the opportunity.

Public outrage caught up with him quickly, particularly since this lion was collared and tracked as part of a study, and so was well-known.

The hunter claims that he thought it was all legal.

Whether you believe him or

not isn’t the point. The activity he was eagerly taking part in is repugnant.

But while people often think of trophy hunting in terms of lions, leopards, and giraffes, our own province shamefully allows this kind of slaughter, too.

Probably the most popular tar-gets are grizzly bears — trophy hunters seem to like to some-how try to assert their superior-ity by going after animals with a reputation of being fierce preda-tors, or exotic in some way.

Now let’s be clear. We have great respect for people who hunt for food.

If you’re putting food on your table by (legally) packing veni-son in the freezer, for example, by all means, continue to hunt.

At least you know the meat you’re consuming hasn’t been injected with hormones or antibiotics.

But for those who equip them-selves with lights, the latest in high-tech rifles, and the aide of guides to take them right to their prey, just so they can get some kind of thrill out of kill-ing something — we will never understand or condone it.

There’s something wrong if you get a thrill out of killing.

The photos these people take with their kills, exalting in the achievement, are nothing more than sad reminders of death.

People should be taught to have respect for life, not to slaughter it for no other reason than to prove they can.

Wouldn’t you rather see them alive? A Stanford Univer-sity study cited by Maclean’s Magazine in 2014 found that nature-tourism — those who want to see grizzlies and the like, not kill them — brings in far more than trophy hunting.

There’s just no way in which this makes sense.

Limit access to forest areas, step up enforcement

Thank you to all the firefighters fight-ing both the Skutz Falls fire and the more recent Copper Canyon fire which started Aug. 2, 2015.

These firefighters were dragging heavy equipment up and down hills on days so hot most of us could not stand to be outside let alone beside a raging fire. We appreciate what you do immensely — your service is invaluable. I cannot thank you enough.

I heard that the cause of the Copper Canyon fire was someone burned a vehi-cle [Editor’s note: the cause of the fire has not been confirmed apart from the fact that it was human-caused]. We need to ask ourselves when conditions are tin-der dry whether access to our forests is more important or saving our forests and possibly lives of firefighters and anyone else in the wildfire’s path is more import-ant, not to mention the millions of tax dollars that go into fighting fires and the potential loss of homes.

I urge everyone that has concerns to petition:

Steve Thompson- Minister of Forestry, Lands and Natural Resources ([email protected])

Alison Nicholson - board of directors at Cowichan Valley Regional District ([email protected])

Ryan Dias - parks and recreation at CVRD ([email protected])

John Lefebure, mayor of North Cowichan and chair for CVRD ([email protected])

Bill Routley, MLA 250 387-3655. ([email protected])

Christy Clark, Premier of British

Columbia ([email protected] Neal, fire protection technician,

Coastal Fire Centre Parksville ([email protected])

Island Timberlands ([email protected])

Patti Pearce, public affairs for Timber-west ([email protected])

Ask that they limit access to our tinder dry forests. How else can we prevent vandalism and unwanted perpetrators into our pristine forest lands? Something needs to be done! Some things that we can all suggest strongly to our politicians and government officials might be:

• a gate on Hillcrest Road to block access during extreme dry conditions and/or personnel at a gate that allowed daytime access but records names of those entering and high fines if they do not comply with rules. This would be far less costly than fighting another fire.

• both an RCMP presence and a bylaw officer from the CVRD presence at Hill-crest Road especially during long week-ends when forests are dry

• a substantial reward of say $20,000 (perhaps through Crime Stoppers) should be offered to anyone who turns in indi-viduals who start cars on fire in our for-ests and has campfires when they should not. Again, I state this would be far less costly than fighting another fire and might be enough to have their associates turn them in

• put cameras in areas where these incidents typically occur to help with prosecution.

If we as individuals do nothing will any-thing change and what will be the cost?

Harper is destroying decades of social capital: motive?

If Martin Barker was truly interested in sources for fossil fuel subsidies in Canada he would have easily found it with minimal search engine skills. But hey, who wants science and facts getting in the way of a malicious and negative Harper election cam-paign filled with misinformation and disinformation?

Mr. Barker only needed to look to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank for the information he requested. The IMF’s recent report on G20 annual subsidies for the fossil fuel industry pegged Canada’s annual subsi-dies at $1,283 for every person living in Canada! This amount is equivalent to more than 20 normal vehicle fill-ups at the pump for each and every Canadian. Total annual subsidy to the fossil fuel industry in Canada in 2014, according to the IMF, was $45 billion!

The fossil fuel subsidies are equiv-alent to one-third the total cost of publicly funding healthcare in Canada! Oops, that figure will change if Harper and Co. are elected as Harper is set to remove $34 billion from healthcare pay-ments to the provinces.

Just what is Harper’s motive in destroying decades of social capital building in Canada for yet more subsi-dies to the fossil fuel industry? You will

never know with Mr. Harper until it is too late. Vote Oct. 19, 2015.

Excellent reporting in articleI would like to express our gratitude

to your reporter Kevin Rothbauer for doing an excellent job of reporting in the article “70 years later” in your Aug. 7 paper.

He arrived on only two days’ notice on a Sunday and had just previewed the video before coming. He was prepared to ask all the right questions. He iden-tified each person and recorded accu-rately their replies. His photo was also excellent. The name of the video is Sev-enty-one years: the Loss and Discovery of Avro Anson L7056 and is available in DVD locally.

We are lucky in Duncan to have such talent as Nick Versteeg and his team of workers. I am sure we will have a lot more of their work.

Thanks again to your reporter Kev-in Rothbauer and to the staff of the Citizen newspaper for reporting this gathering.

Seagoing visitor from hell had Nanaimo residents intrigued“Altogether he is the worst

sight that has been seen in the hospital here for some time, and if he recovers it will be a miracle”.—Victoria Standard

It was, in the purplish prose of the Victoria Standard, “a most unpar-

alleled instance of human cruelty on the high seas”.

Alas, the records show that the officers of the ship Detroit were anything but unique in

their allegedly brutish mis-treatment of their crew. In that age of wooden ships and iron men, when maritime laws recognized a ship’s cap-tain as having supreme pow-ers at sea, the Detroit and others of her ilk were known as “hell ships” for the mal-treatment of their crews.

Upon her arrival in Victoria from Valparaiso, one of her

seamen charged before the U.S. Consul

that he’d been denied proper food until he was “literally eaten up with scurvy,” and that he’d been whipped with a rope’s end, by the captain’s orders, for not being able to perform his duties. His legs were said to be blackened by bruising from the thighs down, his teeth ready to drop out, “and altogeth-er he is the worst sight that has been seen in the hospital here for some time, and if he recovers it will be a miracle”.

According to this complainant, just days before arriving in port, Capt.

J.C. Adams had kicked a seaman to death and thrown his body overboard. It’s little won-der that Nanaimo citizens were intrigued by the maligned Detroit’s subsequent arrival at Departure Bay to load coal, notwithstanding the fact that not only the ship’s officers but sev-eral of its seamen had sworn that the charges made in Victoria were “a tissue of falsehoods”. While being examined by Consul Francis the crew defended their captain, although they damned the first and second mates for what they termed “extreme cruelty”. They told the same story to Collector of Customs T.E. Peck.

As for the seaman allegedly kicked to death and thrown overboard, his body had in fact been brought ashore for burial. Because of the serious accusations being floated about, Dr. Jackson, formerly of the Royal Hospital, was asked to perform a post-mortem. He issued a certificate of death by natural causes.

Despite this conflict of evidence and testimo-ny, with the possibility that criminal charges might be laid against the Detroit’s officers, the Nanaimo Free Press reminded its readers to reserve judgment until they were fully informed of the facts.

The collier’s first and second mates chose to ignore the newspaper’s advice by jumping ship during the night and making good their escape in one of its boats. By this time the Press, which had been non-committal, had had time to interview some of the crew. It now sug-gested that “matters were getting too warm” for the missing officers, that it was because they dreaded British justice that they’d jumped ships for parts unknown.

“Judging from the conversation of some of the crew, it would appear that they have had a rough time of it, and been terribly ill-treated by the first and second officers... One of the two officers was in the habit of carrying a heavy sling shot [sic] attached to his wrist.”

As for witholding judgment until the case could be tried in court, the newspaper con-cluded, “He confesses his guilt who flees from judgment.”

Days later, a legal notice appeared in the Press. Signed by Capt. Adams, it stated that neither the owners nor the undersigned master of the American ship Detroit would be respon-sible for any debts contracted by the crew thereof.

Soon after the Detroit took her leave of Depar-ture Bay, her holds a-brim with Wellington coal, Capt. Adams had bigger concerns than unauthorized expenses. In its last reference to the sordid affair, the Press reported that he’d been placed under a bond of $1,000 to appear before a court in San Francisco.

He’d been ordered to answer a charge of cru-elty for having allowed his officers to “beat and wound a seaman during the voyage of the ship from Rio de Janeiro” to the Bay City.

◆ TOUR DE ROCK

LEXI BAINAS AND ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Rob Webb may not be the sergeant for the South End’s RCMP detachment any more but the South End still wants to be part of his Tour de Rock ride this year.

So, the South Cowichan Rotary is partnering with the Cobble Hill Farmers Institute and MNP to host a first annual Barn Burner Cops for Can-cer dinner and dance on Saturday, Aug. 15 in the Farmers Institute’s new barn located just off of Fisher Road in the Cobble Hill Village.

The Farmers’ Institute’s Gerry Giles says, “This is a don’t-miss event as it honours Rob Webb, the former sergeant at the Shawnigan Detachment and one of this year’s Tour de Rock riders. Montgomery County will perform and all proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Tour in Rob’s name.”

Sound like a great evening? You bet. Get your tickets to this fun event from the Cobble Hill Market, Cowichan Press or by calling Bob at 250-743-2253.

The very next morning, Sunday, Aug. 16, the Rotary Club is at it again with a pancake break-fast starting at 8 a.m., which will include head shavings for the cause.

Other upcoming Tour de Rock fundraising events in the Cowichan Valley also feature good times and good food and drink.

Red Arrow Brewing is hosting a fundraising barbecue in Duncan on Thursday, Aug. 13 from 3-6 p.m., where people can try some the new microbrewery’s local concoctions as they help raise funds for kids with cancer.

On Sunday, Aug. 16 from noon to 1:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to cheer the Tour de Rock team as they arrive at Just Jakes Restaurant in Duncan on their “mock tour” preparation. Tickets are $15, but there’s a limited number for this barbecue lunch, so head to Just Jakes on Craig Street to get yours before they’re gone.

Fundraising heads back to the south end of the Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 16 for a Tour de Rock Red Serge Dinner in Shawnigan Lake. Cock-tails will be served at 6 p.m., with dinner at 7 as Shawnigan Lake School and local RCMP host a spaghetti dinner and silent auction in support of Webb’s ride. Tickets are $10. To reserve, call 250-746-2315 or email [email protected]

MUSINGS of a Magpie Mind

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

“Buddy, can you spare a dime?”

That dark, desperate Broadway song from the Great Depression of the early ‘30s popped into my head the

other evening, during our return flight from Winnipeg. The family get-togeth-er with my in-laws had been the usual fun time of feasting and fellowship that always makes the trip so worthwhile. And the full itinerary they had arranged for us included a couple of attractions not visited on previous occasions. A must-see of course was the new Museum Of Human Rights. Inside and out, it is spectacular, although I found the theme of constant recrimination a little hard to take.

The shameful litany of “man’s inhumanity to man” (to quote Robbie Burns) over the last couple of centuries is not meant to entertain, and it didn’t. It was a sobering reminder of past and present wrongs. So although I applaud this very worthy initiative, which is dedicated to the memory of the city’s media mogul Israel Asper, (who was instrumental in launching the project), I tended to agree with one local critic who said that the whole place smacked more of mausoleum than museum. But my carping comments got zero support around the dinner table that evening, so instead we talked about our plans for the following day.

Happily that was very different. Our visit to the Royal Canadian Mint cheered me up considerably. And as I reminisced on the experience with my wife during the flight home, she pointed out that money in the form of coinage, might be worth musing over in my next magpie column. So let me offer a few thoughts on the subject, and as usual, history is a good place to start.

It seems that once again, the ancient Chinese had a head start on every-body else, as copper coins have been unearthed from four thousand year-old tombs of the Shang Dynasty. But it was the early Mediterranean and Islamic cul-tures that introduced precious metals of gold and silver into their currencies. Per-haps the most memorable beneficiary of this development around that time was our old friend, the royal and immensely wealthy Croesus. We all know how well off he was and the expression “as rich as Croesus” is still part of our language.

The emergence of Rome as the domin-ant power in the region brought a disci-plined system to the minting and distri-bution of coinage, but soon counterfeit-ers, (often called the second oldest pro-fession in the world), were everywhere. Punishment for first offence was the loss of a hand, and if you were caught at it again, execution was swift. The Brits as late as 1690 took an even harsher approach. Thomas Rodgers was hanged, drawn and quartered and his wife burnt alive for clipping coins in order to make counterfeits from the pieces they saved. They were deemed to have committed a crime against the state and that was tan-tamount to treason.

The precious metal content of any state-issued coinage generally reflected the health of the country’s economy because of what it could buy. Back in the days before Jesus of Nazareth began preaching his ministry, when he was still in his teens, the mighty Caesar Augus-tus decreed that the new denarius coin would be made almost entirely of silver. But in the decades following, the finan-cial well-being of Rome declined, pri-marily because it cost so much money to maintain the massive army that kept the rebellious provinces in subjugation.

By 280 A.D. the denarius was 98 per cent copper with a thin silver wash on the sur-face. The implication was very clear to every citizen: the coin they held in their hands was a physical manifestation of the Empire’s deepening desperation.

Performances anchor great comedy in ‘As You Like It’LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

A lively presentation of Shakespeare’s As You Like It delighted a crowd at Charles Hoey Park last week.

They had turned out to see the fourth annual theatre-in-the-park preview of the Shawnigan Players’ summer produc-tion on Aug. 1, one of the final offerings of The 39 Days of July festival.

The beloved comedy hits the stage in earnest at the Gem o’ the Isle in Cowic-han Station tonight, Aug. 12 for a short-ened run.

The Players had hoped to start a two-play festival this year but when illness hit the director of the second play the idea was shelved for another season, according to Alex Gallacher, who is dir-ecting As You Like It.

So, if you want to take your family for a really entertaining time out in the orchard at Cowichan Station, get those tickets now.

As You Like It offers lots of fun and funny for every kind of theatregoer.

This is Shakespeare after all. He wrote for everyone, from the illiterates in the pit to the royals and intellectuals in the boxes, and everyone saw and enjoyed what they wished.

As with last year’s Romeo and Juliet, there’s plenty of physical action plus, of course, As You Like It whirls in the ridiculous situation of a pretty girl pre-tending to be a boy.

Actually a lot of people are not what they seem in this play. You’ve got an old duke who’s hiding in the forest, his son who’s been raised to a plebeian life, his brother who will do almost anything to hide his true motives, a well-born girl who decides to become a boy and attracts the attention (and desire) of a pretty country maiden.

The plot thickens.There are some excellent perform-

ances to be enjoyed in this show.Like a wily hockey coach, director Alex

Gallacher has gone for strength down the centre, building a sound production around wonderful characterizations by his daughter, Hannah (Rosalind), Jacob Dennison (Orlando), Laura Faulkner (Celia), Marinus Vesseur (Oliver), and Bob Norris (Duke Senior).

There’s also plenty of comedy from Ashton Arden (Touchstone), Julie Wat-son (Jaques) and the bucolic lovers, Connor Lachmanec (Silvius) and Phebe (Cecilia Dennison) plus solid backup work from the rest of the cast.

This is indeed an outdoor perform-ance, with chairs set up in the orchard, and the venue and the plays at the Gem o’ the Isle really attract families with children.

They’re encouraged, too, according to Gallacher, who pointed out to the crowd on Aug. 1 that there is a package ticket

price offered just so people can bring their kids.

Shows are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. nightly with a 2 p.m. matinée perform-ance only on Aug. 16.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the gate. Family passes (one adult with up to four children or two adults with up to three children) are available for $35 in advance or $40 at the gate.

Advance tickets are available at Ten Old Books, Mason’s Store, or email [email protected] to reserve.

Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise) forgets for a moment when talking to her beloved Orlando that she’s supposed to be a boy. [LEXI BAINAS/ CITIZEN]

Alyssa White, 23, a dancer since age three, swings into a tie for first place in the adult version of Duncan Has Talent. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Over 20 talent makes judges’ selection toughLEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The dancers won the day July 31 as Duncan Has Talent finished up with its Over 20s competition.

Alyssa White and Lara Brun-schott tied for first because judges Cathy Schmidt and Laura Cardriver admitted they simply could not choose between them.

Daisy Hieland, another dan-cer, finished second, with sing-er/songwriter Gordon Keel placing third, just ahead of two more singers who also pre-sented their own material: Guy Langton and Pauline Leier.

As in the other Duncan Has Talent events, the contestants had the opportunity for men-toring from Cardriver and Schmidt over two previous nights.

“This week has been more like a show because these people have been practising their craft for a long time,” Schmidt told the Friday evening audience and Cardriver reminded them all that it was important to show what they’d done with the advice they’d been given.

Keel kicked it off with Stan-

din’ in the Redwoods, which he said was an autobiographical song and really showed his skill as a storyteller.

White, 23, who has been dan-cing since age three, then shook the place up by appearing in traditional Highland dance gear for a sword dance and then tossing it aside part way through as she completed her dance in modern style to Time of My Life.

Langton then performed his

song, Harmony, explaining thatas he had traveled widely in hiswork as a carpenter, his guitar was often his best friend on theroad.

Belly dancer Brunschott,31, who said she’d been belly dancing since age 16, then per-formed an exotic number calledEgyptian Love Affair, graceful-ly managing her large silk scarfdespite the stiff breeze.

Leier presented, unaccompanied, a lulla-by she composed after wondering if par-ents and grandparents even sing them to children any more.

Hieland, another belly dancer, opened her campaign with a Chinese love song in which a woman explains how her lover is everything to her.

Schmidt admitted, during the intermis-sion, that all the performers had made it tough for the judges because they “took every ounce of mentorship we gave them. You’re going to have to bring even more,” she warned them all.

Keel played his trump card, bringing his little dog, Priya, on stage with him as he presented Nobody Loves Me But My Dawg.

Not to be outdone, White tossed her

Scottish background aside and presented a lively swing dance to Candy Man and Langton sang a song he wrote for his fath-er, a veteran of the Second World War, which he called Cold November Morn.

Brunshott changed costume, too, and decked out in pastel blue danced to Fata-fiti, a drum solo, before Leier sat down with a guitar, an instrument she admit-ted she hadn’t touched in 10 years and performed her song Build Me a Fountain before Hieland closed the evening with an improvised dance to Chrysalis.

As the judges deliberated, emcee Longev-ity John Falkner admitted that he thought “it would be a really hard decision” to choose winners.

Schmidt praised all the competitors saying “this is the biggest adult category we’ve ever had”.

Living

Whatever proclamation the current Caesar might make, the little coin told the harsh truth. And that same story has been repeated throughout history. High inflation and the debase-ment of any coin’s content inevitably diminished its value, lowered its buying power and also destroyed the confidence of the people who received payment in it.

The advent of paper money didn’t help much either, although 100 years ago, each bank note was meant as a reassuring reference document, because its face value was supposedly backed by reserves of gold bullion secreted in state vaults. That guaran-tee hasn’t existed for a long time, and today in the age of computer technol-ogy, money has increasingly become an abstraction. We’ve created the ATM to pop out cash, debit and credit cards to buy things and delay pay-ment of what we owe, plus electronic transfers to move money around the globe in the twinkling of an eye.

Although they do their best to hide the fact, the world’s central bankers and treasury controllers are reputed to be in a state of quiet panic, because these days money is quite uncontrol-lable. They have no idea how much of it is out there, at least in all its digital forms. A few years ago most of us Canadians were spectators to the result of this ignorance and to the lack of enforceable rules and effective government monitoring. We witnessed in disbelief the unfettered greed and unscrupulous actions of so many financial institutions south of the border, with the twisted priorities of Wall Street at the core of all these shenanigans. And we sympathised with the victims and their supporters who eventually marched in protest, though by then it was much too late to mend the situation.

Fortunately in this country, our stricter financial regulations shielded us from most of this corporate hanky-panky and provided a veneer of stabil-ity in the banking sector. But as many of our chartered institutions also dab-bled in the toxic subprime mortgage market, they got burned too and so did their shareholders. Bruce Livesey’s investigative reporting which resulted in his expose: “The Thieves of Bay Street” is sobering reading. It chron-icles the avarice, the lies, the cover-ups and the moral laxity of so many sen-ior people in our own financial hier-archy. The book was an eye-opener for me and I recommend it.

So, while a major focus these days

is on human rights, and there’s a new federally subsidized museum to prove it, let’s press our leaders to close ALL the loopholes against those who enrich themselves at the expense of others. Such protection is a basic right too, because history is full of finan-cial scams, more than enough to fill a whole vast floor in that stunning Win-nipeg building.

But now let’s talk about our visit to the Royal Canadian Mint. There’s nothing abstract about what it pro-duces — mostly tons and tons of cold hard cash and many of the minerals they use are mined here in Canada. Built in 1976, its contemporary pyra-mid shape thrusts its way out of the flat prairie plain and is visible for miles. The closer we got to it, the more we were impressed, and the flags of 70-odd international customers on tall white poles that lined the curved driveway, promised us a very different experience.

The whole huge place sits in colour-ful landscaping and once inside it exudes state of the art technology. And it was refreshing to learn that our Mints — this one in Winnipeg, the headquarters operation in Ottawa and the busy retail outlet in downtown Vancouver — don’t rely on taxpayer dollars to fund their operations. As a Crown corporation there’s only one shareholder – the Government of Canada.

We started out with a quick look around at ground level, then attached ourselves to one of the frequent guid-ed tours and ended up in the wide, glass-walled walkways that run the length of the building. They overlook the whole production line, (including the gleaming 50-ton presses that spit out a thousand coins per second), and our excellent guide, who had a ready answer to our many questions, took us through each stage, explaining how the material mostly comes in as raw sheet metal and pops out eventually as spending money for Canadians and for a wide variety of foreign custom-ers in their own currency.

If you’re impressed by numbers, the Winnipeg Mint has them in spades. With over 700 employees, it pumps out two billion coins each year — over 55 billion since it opened. And although most of those are the sort that jingle in our pockets, there is a constant demand by investors and bullion collectors for the special and limited edition silver and gold mintings that carry the Maple Leaf rating, with the latter reaching the astonishing level of 99.999 purity! And of course there are all sorts of coins designed

and issued to commemorate special occasions and sporting events, here and around the world. They are much sought-after by collectors and there’s always a colourful selection for sale in the showcases on the way out of the building. Apparently the Mint web site does a very healthy business too.

Now, with all that money concentrat-ed in one place, what about security? We asked the question of course and were assured that it’s very tight, but mostly unseen, except for the affable but very large guard at the exit door. We chatted with him and noticed he was clad in body armour, festooned with communication equipment and carried a conspicuous 9mm Glock pis-tol, holstered on his belt.

And the age-old threat of counter-feiters is apparently a constant con-sideration for the Mint. For instance, when it was decided to phase out the smaller denomination bank notes in the 1980s, the new dollar coin was originally designed to show the sover-eign’s head on one side and an image of a voyageur canoe on the other. The master die was made and shipped off to Ottawa, but catastrophe! It dis-appeared en route and has never been found! What a mystery, not to mention an embarrassment. So it was back to the drawing board, and after much debate the common loon was chosen to replace the lost original. That coin has since been minted in its millions, and seven years after its introduction, when the two dollar bank note was phased out, the attractive bronze and nickel Toonie took its place. Is the five dollar bill next, I wonder?

So, after that fascinating afternoon at the Royal Canadian Mint we headed home, duly impressed. The inter-national reputation this operation has achieved over the years and its major contribution to the world of currency is a source of pride. The whole experi-ence opened our eyes to the insatiable global appetite for coinage, a very ancient commodity that still plays an essential role in these modern times. The tour was great and cost us only a few cents, but although that little coin doesn’t exist anymore, just like Croe-sus, it will be part of our language for a long time to come.

His wife Patricia indulges him in these interests, but being a seasoned writer from a similar background, she has always deplored his weakness for alliteration. This has sadly had no effect on his writing style, whatsoever.)

Sports Cowichan Valley Citizen | Wednesday, August 12, 2015 17250-748-2666 ext. [email protected]


After leading the Cowichan Valley Capitals in scoring as a rookie in the B.C. Hockey League, forward Sean Harri-son has locked up an NCAA Div. 1 scholarship for the 2016/17 season.

Harrison, a native of Anchor-age, Alaska, will join the Union College Dutchmen of ECAC Hockey after one more season with the Caps. He will make the move to Schenectady, New York alongside his current Cowichan teammate Ryan Burton, whose scholarship was announced ear-lier this offseason.

Harrison was one of only two players to appear in all 58 games for the Caps in 2014/15, leading the team in goals with 22 and points with 46. His 24 assists were the second-highest total among Cowichan forwards, one back of teammate Darien Craig-head. Harrison had a team-high eight powerplay goals, and his three game-winners were tied with captain Kyle Horsman for the most by a Capital. He racked up a mere six minutes in penalties over the course of the season, and was recognized by the Capitals organization with the team’s Rookie of the Year and Most Sportsmanlike Player awards.

“Sean is a heads-up, hard-work-ing, coachable, 200-foot player

that will enjoy a great college career,” Capitals head coach and general manager Bob Beat-ty said. “His hockey IQ and skill set make him a big offensive con-tributor. We are very pleased to have our second Caps player this offseason receive a scholarship to Union College.”

In addition to Harrison and Burton committing to post-sec-ondary hockey teams for 2016/17, the Caps will have four players from the 2014/15 roster heading to colleges and universities this fall: defencemen Skylar Pacheco (Brock University) and Julien Lepage (York University), and forwards Horsman (Robert Mor-ris University) and Jesse Neher (SUNY-Plattsburgh).

This year’s Capitals team will begin training camp at the Island Savings Centre on Sat-urday, Aug. 22, with their first exhibition game scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 27 at the Cowic-han Lake Arena. On Aug. 21, the Caps will hold their inaugural Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Cowichan Golf & Country Club.


It may be the middle of sum-mer, but Duncan Christian School had no trouble scraping together a soccer team when a travelling squad from an English school came by looking for some Canadian competition.

Both DCS and the Cowichan Valley Soccer Association field-ed teams to play against Kim-bolton School at the Cowichan Sportsplex last Thursday. The Kimboltonians had the upper hand in both contests, winning by identical 2-1 scores, but the experience was still a positive one for the local athletes.

“We were fortunate to be able to assemble a DCS team in the summer,” DCS athletic director Tom Veenstra said. “Not having the face-to-face contact as we would in the school year proved

to be a contest in itself. We had a bit of a challenge contacting all the players.”

In the end, the Chargers were able to field a team of 16 players. Not bad for August.

“Fortunately there was a core group of DCS players that were immediately enthusiastic and committed, as well as DCS coaches Chris Muller and Ian Smith,” Veenstra said. “Eventu-ally, we were able to find enough to field a team.”

The Cowichan Selects were guided by coaches George White and Peter Wynne, who also pro-vided encouragement and sup-port — and some additional play-ers — to the Chargers.

Scoring for DCS against Kim-bolton was Luke Armstrong, while Ben Sharrett handled goal-keeping duties. Paris Holland had the lone goal for the Cow-

ichan Selects, with Jace Hilton putting in a strong game in goal.

Located in Cambridgeshire, Kimbolton School was founded in the 16th century.

Duncan Christian and CVSA families also billeted the Kim-bolton players, something the school had never done for an international travelling team.

“It was definitely a valuable opportunity for our youth soc-cer players to connect with youth from across the world playing a game that they love,” Veenstra said. “The Cowichan Valley fam-ilies from DCS and from the Cow-ichan Selects also really enjoyed getting to know the Kimbolton players.”

The opportunity was facilitated by Barkley Logan, who has previ-ously helped find opponents and billet families for many visiting rugby and field hockey teams.

Just making it to the provincial bantam AAA baseball championships for the first time ever was a huge accomplishment for the Cowichan Valley Mustangs, so for the team to compete as well as it did was even more remarkable.

The Mustangs, who got into the tourna-ment in White Rock by winning one of two wildcard berths, went 0-4 against the best teams in B.C. on July 31 and Aug. 1 and 2, but three of those defeats were by a single run, including one game that went into extra innings.

“You could always say we could have used another two or three runs, but you have to look at what the players did,” head coach Lorne LaFleur said.

The Mustangs lost 3-2 in their opening game against top-seeded Abbotsford on Friday morning, then fell 5-4 to Delta the next afternoon. On Sunday morning, the Mustangs lost 13-3 to North Island, but they bounced back to take Tri Cities to extra innings before ultimately falling 1-0.

“When we won our way into the tourna-ment, we knew it would be tough,” LaFleur said. “Being [seeded] in the bottom of our pool, having such a young team, and win-ning our way in as the wildcard.”

Even opening against the top seed didn’t faze the players, who got within a run of a huge upset.

“Our kids played well,” LaFleur said. “Even though we didn’t win a game, I think they felt fairly good about it. All in all, we played pretty good over there.”

Even the game the Mustangs lost by more than one run wasn’t exactly lopsided.

Although it went in the books as a 10-run defeat, Cowichan kept things close for most of the contest.

“It was maybe 4-1 in the fourth or fifth, then in a couple of innings we made some mistakes and they started hitting the ball,” LaFleur recalled. “All of a sudden they were scoring four or five runs in an inning.”

It was strong play from throughout the lineup that got the Mustangs into the provincial tournament, and that patter continued at the championships.

“We got good play from a number of dif-ferent players,” LaFleur said. “It wasn’t about one or two guys doing it.”

A particularly young team, the Mustangs improved significantly over the course of

the season, to the point where their play at provincials caught the attention of some of the BC Baseball executive, including president Mike Sarai and bantam division chair Mike Kelly, both of whom compli-mented LaFleur for his team’s perform-ance on and off the field.

“They were quite happy with the way we played and the way we competed,” LaFleur said.

Statistically, the Mustangs were led by Cam LeSergent, who hit .417 with two doubles and a triple over the four games; Pearsen Moreside, who hit .400 with a double; and Jackson Stephen, who batted .375 with a triple. Andrew Strobl led the team with two RBIs and tied LeSergent for the team lead with two stolen bases.

The team was made up of half first-year and half second-year players, but none who had played previously at the AAA level, so the opportunity to attend prov-incials is something all the Mustangs can build on for next year, whether they move on to midget or remain at bantam.

“It was a good experience for them,” LaFleur said. “We talked to them and pointed out that only 120 kids in the prov-ince get to play at the provincial cham-pionships, and 14 of them were our guys.

“It’s looking bright for next season. We’ll have seven returning players, approximately, including some young guys who played a big part this year. Four or five of them played big parts; they didn’t just sit on the bench.”

Sports


Duncan Christian School volleyball star Danielle Groenendijk made some noise on the national stage last month, competing with Team BC at the National U16 Volley-ball Championships at the Richmond Oval.

Groenendijk and BC Blue finished 10th of 14 teams in the extremely competitive tour-nament, where six provinces, one territory, and one U.S. region were represented.

Groenendijk’s journey to Richmond began with the Vancouver Island regional selection camp where players were picked for the U16 Baden Cup. The top athletes

from across B.C. took part in the Baden Cup training camp tournament in late June and early July, with the best players from that group being named to Team BC.

BC Blue went 0-3 in round-robin play, los-ing to Ontario Red (25-18, 25-18), Alberta White (25-15, 25-21) and Saskatchewan Green (18-25, 25-23, 15-9).

They fared better in the re-pool games, beating Yukon 25-12, 25-14, 25-14 and Puget Sound Region S 25-21, 25-18, 25-21. In the playoffs, they defeated Puget Sound Region Y 25-23, 16-25, 15-13 before losing again to Saskatchewan Green 18-25, 25-18, 15-13.

With its 27th iteration having wrapped up on Aug. 4, the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club’s Biondo Junior Grass Court Championships continue to get bigger each year.

T h i s ye a r ’s t o u r n a m e n t attracted about 100 players ages 18 and under from across B.C., with most making the trip to the Island from Vancouver.

“It’s just a good tournament,” said tournament organizer and SCLTC resident pro Art Hobbs. “It’s becoming a destination tour-nament for some of the parents and players. I think it’s just the

novelty of grass and that it’s a fun-oriented tournament.”

The tournament had about 80 entries last year, and in years before that, it was “quite small,” Hobbs said. There’s still a little room to grow.

“It works pretty good,” he said. “We could handle maybe another 30 kids.”

The entries included just a few from the Cowichan Valley. Jessa Michieli reached the finals of the U14 girls singles, and won the U16 girls consolation bracket. Also competing were Nolan Bur-ton and Grace Haugen in the U12 boys and girls events, respective-ly. Hobbs believes the number of local players will go up.

“I think tennis is building quite a bit in the Valley right now,” he said. “I expect there will be more kids in the next couple years from this area.”

Winners at this year’s tourna-ment were:

U12 boys singles: Keita DuclosU12 boys doubles: Benjamin Dee

and Aaron UngprasertU12 girls singles Elizabeth
