Tuck nishes 5th in Worlds: New dedication to Team Canada

If a solution to Youbou’s dust problem is coming, it won’t be from a private truck wash partially paid for from public money.

At the urging of Youbou Director Pat Weaver, the CVRD decided last week to rescind a plan to spend $5,000 from a public Youbou environmental fund to help TimberWest build a truck wash.

At a board meeting on Sept 11, she urged fellow directors to write to the B.C. Transportation and Infrastructure Ministry asking it to deal with the problem of dirt and dust from logging trucks driving through the community.

The issue revolves around the logs and trucks as they leave the private TimberWest logging road and transition onto public Youbou Road .

They leave a layer of dirt thin as

white our, which becomes even ner as vehicles pound it into the pavement. Residents say it’s hard to sweep up or wipe off and gets into everything. Every time the trucks roll over the dirt it ies into the air and blows everywhere.

The problem of dust in the spring and summer, and mud in the rainy months is not a new one, said Youbou resident Brooke Hodson.

He tried to deal with it 10 years ago when he was the Youbou director. He agrees going after the province is the correct route.

“Anything coming from off (vehicles) on to a provincial highway is the sole responsibility of the Ministry of Highways,” he

said. “They can put any conditions on (those vehicles) but they choose not to.”

“The CVRD has no responsibility in dealing with provincial highways and receives no funding from taxes collected by the Ministry of Highways. Ten years ago (Highways) didn’t want to put too much pressure on the corporations like TimberWest and others because they pay their fair share of taxes.

“(Youbou Rd) was not a priority with the provincial government”

That’s a view shared by another former Youbou director, Klaus Kuhn, who praised the community for speaking up and getting the $5,000 contribution reversed.

“Senior governments have downloaded much of their responsibilities to our local government. Now we were supposed to contribute to the cost of a truck wash. But we refused with good reason.

“They (the Ministry) are the ones that issue the permit for TimberWest to use the public road. It is up to them together with TimberWest to nd a solution to the dust problem.”

Kuhn said the $5,000 is less then ve percent of the cost of building the truck wash. He thinks TimberWest should build it anyway and generate needed good will in the community.

Weaver was unavailable for comment.

Prior to 2000, when the mill was running, trucks would deliver logs to the dryland sort in Honeymoon Bay, which were then oated to the Youbou Mill to be cut. The company also asked its drivers to cover the loads of chips to keep the roads free from derbies.

Now privately owned trucks take TimberWest’s logs directly from the woods straight through Youbou. This change shifted responsibility to the private drivers to clean their trucks, but only if the ministry makes it necessary.

Hodson suggested the passion the community showed in overturning the $5,000 contribution now be directed at the province.

“ If all those people that wrote to the CVRD and said ‘I don’t want to pay TimberWest’ turned around and wrote those same letters to the Ministry, maybe it would help.”

Truck wash won’t get public moneyNo cash, letter instead: CVRD reverses plan to dedicate $5,000 to TimberWest facility, puts onus on province to deal with problem

It’s a year of big changes at Lake Cowichan School, as the school has become a Grade 4-12 school.

There have been many physical changes to get the school ready for the younger students and the school name has even changed to reflect the fact that it isn’t just a secondary school.

But some of the biggest changes are in the way students are learning and in the way teachers are teaching.

This year, Grade 10 to 12 students at Lake Cowichan School are involved in a program called Integrated Studies, which is more projects-based and which aims to engage students more.

The biggest difference this year is that students in these grades see their teacher a limited number of times a week. Some courses — such as math and senior sciences — are five days a week, but others are three, two or one day a week, explained principal Nicole Boucher.

Besides these courses, students have to spend time in a humanities learning lab or a math/science learning lab, where there are teachers there to provide help and support.

“For example, if you see your teacher three times, you go to a learning lab two times,” said Boucher. “In class, students receive instruction and guidance on how to develop a project related to learning. When in the labs and on their own time, they’ll be doing their project-based work.

“The ultimate goal is to have students choose projects that are meaningful to them so they can meet learning outcomes while at the same time pursuing areas of interest or even passion.”

Eventually, staff would like to see a system where students do individual or group projects that meet learning outcomes in more than one subject at once, explained Boucher.

“What we’d love to see is students approaching teachers and going ‘I am thinking of this project, and this is how I see it fitting into your class’ and then going to another teacher and saying ‘this

is how I see it fitting into your class,’” said Boucher. “Students can garner credit in more than one subject.”

This way of teaching puts the students in charge of their learning and gives them a lot more choice, explained Boucher.

“We want them to tell us what they want to do,” she said.

As part of this, LCS wants to involve the local community more by taking the students out into the community more and inviting community groups into the school.

This has already started. The CICV The Lake radio station has moved into the band room and will be working with students in various ways, while the Cowichan Lake and River Stewardship Society is working with LCS to develop a program called Lake Studies.

When students are devising projects, teachers want them to tackle them like they’re a question that needs to be answered, explained Boucher.

To transition younger students into this way of learning, staff at LCS developed a course called Intro to Inquiry for Grade 8 and 9 students.

“We’re talking a lot about learning, why we are here, why we are doing this shift,” said Boucher. “We’re asking ‘what kind of future are we preparing you for?’”

This all connects to LCS’s school goal, which is based on inquiry and student engagement.

“The goal we set as a school last year is ‘will students demonstrate a higher level of engagement if they are provided with opportunities to engage in learning through inquiry?’” said Boucher.

After the first week of school, Boucher said they’ve been dealing with getting students used to a new timetable and new setup.

“I’m really working on the accountability,” she said. “It’s not a free-for-all. Every single block of every day, there’s a place each student needs to be. So far, so good. [Vice-principal Dani Garner] and I have noticed every block of every day, students are in each block they need to be in, and they are engaged.”

Boucher feels all of the changes taking place this year make for an exciting and dynamic year.

“Our students seem excited about Integrated Studies,” she said, noting one of the outcomes has been the ability to offer a greater variety of programs this year. “Our teachers are all on the same page and are excited about engaging with students in this way.”

“For example, if you see your teacher three times, you go to a learning lab two times,” said Boucher. “In class, students receive instruction and guidance on how to develop a project related to learning. When in the labs and on their own time, they’ll be doing their project-based work.

“The ultimate goal is to have students choose projects that are meaningful to them so they can meet learning outcomes while at the same time pursuing areas of interest or even passion.”

Eventually, staff would like to see a system where students do individual or group projects that meet learning outcomes in more than one subject at once, explained Boucher.

“What we’d love to see is students approaching teachers and going ‘I am thinking of this project, and this is how I see it fitting into your class’ and then going to another teacher and saying ‘this

is how I see it fitting into your class,’” said Boucher. “Students can garner credit in more than one subject.”

This way of teaching puts the students in charge of their learning and gives them a lot more choice, explained Boucher.

“We want them to tell us what they want to do,” she said.

As part of this, LCS wants to involve the local community more by taking the students out into the community more and inviting community groups into the school.

This has already started. The CICV The Lake radio station has moved into the band room and will be working with students in various ways, while the Cowichan Lake and River Stewardship Society is working with LCS to develop a program called Lake Studies.

When students are devising projects, teachers want them to tackle them like they’re a question that needs to be answered, explained Boucher.

To transition younger students into this way of learning, staff at LCS developed a course called Intro to Inquiry for Grade 8 and 9 students.

“We’re talking a lot about learning, why we are here, why we are doing this shift,” said Boucher. “We’re asking ‘what kind of future are we preparing you for?’”

This all connects to LCS’s school goal, which is based on inquiry and student engagement.

“The goal we set as a school last year is ‘will students demonstrate a higher level of engagement if they are provided with opportunities to engage in learning through inquiry?’” said Boucher.

After the first week of school, Boucher said they’ve been dealing with getting students used to a new timetable and new setup.

“I’m really working on the accountability,” she said. “It’s not a free-for-all. Every single block of every day, there’s a place each student needs to be. So far, so good. [Vice-principal Dani Garner] and I have noticed every block of every day, students are in each block they need to be in, and they are engaged.”

Boucher feels all of the changes taking place this year make for an exciting and dynamic year.

“Our students seem excited about Integrated Studies,” she said, noting one of the outcomes has been the ability to offer a greater variety of programs this year. “Our teachers are all on the same page and are excited about engaging with students in this way.”

Jenny Fawcett of Lake Cowichan is nearing the halfway mark in her Cops for Cancer fundraising endeavour, which will see her donating 12 inches of her hair to wigs for kids.

Fawcett will be shaving her head on Oct. 1 at Lake Cowichan School when the Cops for Cancer ride through Lake Cowichan.

“In 2005 my oldest son Mathew was diagnosed with leukemia, so he had 3 1/2 years of cancer treatment, and we just celebrated his five year cancer-free anniversary on Sept. 9,” said Fawcett. “So in honour of that, this is what I’m doing.”

Fawcett has a goal of $5,000, but is currently just shy of the halfway mark.

“I’m over $2,000 now, so I might make it halfway,” said Fawcett. “I have a burger and beer function coming up on Sept. 28, at the Riverside Inn, and I also have a hot dog sale happening at the Country Grocer on the same day.”

If you would like to attend the burger and beer function, you can purchase tickets from Fawcett, or at the police station or the Riverside Inn.

All of the money raised will help send kids to camp Good Times, which is funded by the Cops for Cancer. Tour de Rock; money also goes toward pediatric cancer research.

Fawcett’s son has been attending camp Good Times for several years.

“He just graduated from kid’s camp this year, and he has attended their

teen camp. They also have a family camp,” said Fawcett.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re currently not having treatment, you can still go to camp as long as you’ve had a history with cancer. This is very beneficial to the other campers that are there because they can see the hopeful side, and the other end of cancer.”

Donations can be made online at: copsforcancerbc.ca/tourderock/jennyfawcett.

On Friday, Sept.13 at 12:30 p.m. there was a power outage in Lake Cowichan, and into Mesachie Lake and Youbou. The outage was caused by a downed line — at King George and Cowichan Avenue — and caused a small fire near a home. “Friday’s outage was caused from a transmission line that was down likely as a result of a weakened splice,” said Karla Louwers of BC Hydro. “Crews responded to the outage and made repairs to the line. Three circuits were impacted as a result of the outage and approximately 3,500 customers were without power from approximately 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.”Many businesses closed shop because of the inability to provide service without power and because at one time it was posted on the BC Hydro website that it would not to be back on until 10 p.m.

Gas dependence red up in effort to keep rates downWhen Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her fi rst priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates.

The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, fi rst tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fi ddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.

Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said.

Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Offi ce and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government.

Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation.

Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-per-cent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling.

In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private

power as the root of all evil, both fi nancially and environmentally.

In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors.

These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy.

Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefi ed natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production.

Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fi red power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large.

Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner. Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter and columnist for

Change is never easy.And return to school has been marked by many

changes for the Cowichan Valley School District this year.

Middle school students are making early adjustments to high school environments. Students who attended recently closed schools are adjusting to new schools entirely. Schools are being used for completely new purposes.

Consider Mount Prevost (housing the curriculum that used to be at Duncan Elementary), Quamichan (now a campus of Cowichan Secondary), Lake Cowichan (now Grades 4 to 12) and Koksilah (home to the new trades program) as just a start.

en there is the issue of the new fee for transportation and the new timetable, not to mention the shu ing of sta needed to make all this work.

On top of that, there is the uncertainty of a new teachers’ contract and the spectre of a support sta strike.

One would be naive to expect anything other than a fair amount of grumbling to accompany all this.

Politics have the potential to dominate the agenda in our halls of learning this year and that would be a shame.

With the transition that has happened it would be best of the kids to adjust in an environment of stability and support.

It’s been a pretty good summer for Cowichan school children, full of sunshine and the nest things the Cowichan Valley has to o er.

Let’s transfer that to our fall classrooms as best we can.

Street BeatWith Malcolm Chalmers Do you find boaters to be safer

and more responsible now?

The 100-year-old B.C. water act is currently being re-written. This long overdue process is taking place behind closed doors in the B.C. Legislature buildings.

Information has been leaked to One Cowichan that a draft bill was currently being prepared in the event of a fall sitting of the Legislative Assembly. This news is very disturbing and should be of concern to all in our community.

During the recent B.C. election campaign, the B.C. Liberals promised they would: “Consult on the Water Sustainability Act in 2013 with the intention of passing this legislation in 2014. The act will protect B.C. aquifers and drinking water resources while providing industry with a framework under which drinking water allocations are made.”

The public consultation process promised by our provincial government during the recent election campaign appears to have been overlooked. Our majority government has the power to pass any bill it wishes and has no obligation to consult with the public.

Recent events in our community have clearly demonstrated new rules governing our water are badly needed. The flow management fiasco of last fall in the Cowichan River and the terrible decision to allow toxic waste to be stored in a lined quarry in the Shawnigan Lake watershed are clear demonstrations of a dire need for local control of our all activities taking place in our watersheds.

To add to the list of concerns we have pollution, development, riparian area destruction, logging practices and potential privatization of our water resources.

During the past year the One Cowichan group has worked very hard to make our community aware of these issues. We have increased public awareness and garnered resolutions of support for local control from Lake Cowichan Council, CVRD regional services committee, Duncan council and Cowichan Tribes council.

We have more than 700 signatures on a letter to be sent to Minister of Environment Mary Polak that states in part “(we are) calling for greater protection for our water and for giving appropriate local bodies real authority to manage their own watersheds in partnership with First Nations.”

Our community is clearly in favor of getting some power to influence activities in our watershed.

We need a long-range plan to build in resilience to climate change and ensure an ample, safe supply of pure water for our community long into the future.

Politicians in senior levels of government are often forced to favor policies designed by their parties over local initiatives. In most cases planning cannot extend beyond the next election cycle and retaining power in government trumps long range planning.

Our civic politicians have an opportunity here to gain some measure of control and

make important decisions that affect our communities. Decisions on local issues should be made by locally elected officials who must live with the consequences of their actions.

We are not alone in this desire for local control. There are many groups all over the province who share concerns over their watersheds. The Water Wealth project in the Fraser

Valley has recently pointed out that Nestle Corporation is pumping water out of the Hope aquifer at no cost to them and selling the water back to the community in plastic bottles.

This is a huge, wealthy corporation that is not required to pay for the water it uses and does not even need to report to the government how much water it is extracting from the ground. Privatization of water is increasing globally and it is something we must not allow to happen in our community. Senior levels of government appear to be favoring public/private partnerships in water resource development and this could have very serious consequences for any community in which it occurs.

All of these issues should be addressed by the new B.C. Water Sustainability Act and we must make our concerns clearly heard by the provincial government.

We must put pressure on the provincial government to release any draft legislation for the new water act before it is passed by the legislature.

This act has the potential to affect the health of our watersheds and communities far into the future.

Such an important piece of legislation must consider the concerns of all British Columbians and pass public scrutiny.

Parker Jefferson is a conservationist and advocate for the Cowichan River.

In my opinion: Pending legislation must not be approved without public input

Our voices must shape water act

Gateway sign would be perfect for the roundabout

Dear Editor I have a roundabout suggestion: Lake

Cowichan was fortunate to win the Gateway to the West competition a few years back and feel this is a unique theme that should be promoted in our area. What better place to display a carved wooden sign Gateway to the West than the centre of the roundabout along with shrubs and plants where it can be seen by all. It is quite exciting to see the changes taking place in Cowichan Lake!

TimberWest not a good enough neighbour

Dear Editor I was strongly opposed to spending $5,000

of the Habitat and Nature Fund toward a truck wash for Timberwest.

This company has bled this valley dry. It put 200 people out of jobs 10 years ago, when it closed down a profit-making mill, dismantling the mill. Then it became realtors and flogged off the land to the highest bidder, without any conscience or contribution to cleaning up the mess that was left. It has absolutely no respect for the community: it refuses to stop the logging trucks on Sundays, and damages roads, vehicles and the environment. Nor has it created any goodwill or bought into the community by leaving any type of legacy, i.e. a marina, park etc. It has raped and pillaged the hillsides and caused nothing but havoc on the roads. We alone have had six cracked windshields. How many more accidents have to happen?

This is a much bigger issue that the $5,000. Someone give their head a shake! Timberwest is a large corporation and needs to be held accountable for the damage that it causes to the highways, environment and taxpayers’ vehicles in addition to draining the Cowichan Valley of its natural resources.

Please don’t feed the wild animals

Dear Editor Today I was leaving my home and saw a

fawn hit by a car probably coming from a place where it knows it can get a free meal without foraging in the woods. For all you animal lovers who think you are doing a good thing by feeding them, how do you think the mother felt to see her baby killed?

Grey squirrels are being fed, the ones that eat bird eggs, burrow in roofs, kill our red squirrels etc. Bird feeders: yes, everyone loves to hear the chirping and watch all the different species. But why feed the birds in feeders on the ground? Cats hunt birds. Why make it easy for them? Raccoons are cute animals but very vicious and do damage. They hunt and eat domestic cats and birds. They carry disease also.

Now the big problem: feeding the bears. Do people not know that they are hurting them more than helping them. If garbage cans are not stored properly, you are killing them in the long run and not letting them have the kind of life they were born to live. Don’t feed them. Let them live the life they are suppose to in the forest and foraging. You are killing them with kindness.

a letter writer suggests that our “feeding” of wildlife is killing them with kindness.


William Edgar Oliver, a lawyer from Victoria, B.C., rst came to Cowichan Lake in 1906. He was attracted to the area as a place he could bring his wife Mary and daughter Catherine to during the warm summer months and other holidays. He enjoyed shing and felt there was no better place to indulge in one of his favorite pastimes as on the Cowichan River.

During the rst part of the 1900s, when land was cheap, Will Oliver purchased the entire Saseenos Point in Youbou. Today the area is lled with lovely homes circling the point, unlike the early days of settlement when great stands of forest covered most of the area.

Around 1909 Oliver and partners formed a syndicate to buy the Lakeside Hotel situated a few miles up North Shore Road. Renamed Cowichan Lake Hotel, the place became somewhat of a shing lodge catering to well-healed shing enthusiasts from Victoria and Vancouver. By 1916, with business in decline, partly due to the First World War, the operation closed.

It opened later under new management. In 1910 the Olivers had a log cottage (as they were referred

to back then) built on a small piece of property just down river from the Riverside Inn in Lake Cowichan. Located on what is now Gordon Road, the place was a much loved summer getaway for the family and their Victoria friends. Over the years the property changed considerably and today remains one of the nicest homes and property along that stretch of river.

During the years that the Olivers frequented their vacation home, Will spent many happy hours shing while his young daughter Catherine enjoyed rowing around the tiny island (in front of their place), in her little rowboat.

Oliver, was known to “have a taste for French champagne which he imported by the case,” noted his granddaughter Catriona some years later. He chilled the cases in the river in front of his house. Many decades later champagne and other liquor bottles were found buried in a large bottle cache just

down river from the former Oliver home. Another of Oliver’s projects included a cedar

houseboat, which he had built by master builder Dan Savoy. The imposing structure rode high in the water and was enhanced by a wraparound verandah along the side and stern. During warm summer months the Olivers and their guests enjoyed relaxing, picnicking and swimming while traveling from place to place around Cowichan Lake.

Although Oliver and his family spent the majority of their time in Victoria, Oliver seemed much attached to the Cowichan Lake region. In 1919 he purchased land at Marble Bay (where he already owned property) and began development of what later became known as Abernathy farm.

While the land was being cleared the family stayed nearby on their houseboat. “During a hot summer day in 1920, while working on the land, [Oliver] collapsed and died on the lakeshore,” recalled Catriona.

Oliver’s wife, the former Mary Eleanor Ward (daughter of the original manager of the Bank of British Columbia) lived into her 90s while their daughter Catherine died in 1974.

Each summer a few descendants of William and Mary Oliver return to their A-frame cabin on Saseenos Point on land their ancestor bought over 110 years ago.

Photos courtesy Kaatza Station MuseumThe Oliver log house — built by master woodsman and carpenter Dan Savoy in the early 1900s — was used as a summer getaway for prominent Victoria lawyer, W. E. Oliver and his family. One of the earlier residences built in the area and the fi rst on what became Gordon Road (Lake Cowichan), the home and beautiful gardens is now one of the most attractive and unique homes around.

A new radio antenna location could extend the broadcast range of 98.7FM the Lake to outlying areas, as well as provide a valuable emergency service during a disaster situation, says the host of the station’s Open Mike show.

“The new antenna will be able to increase our broadcast to include not just Lake Cowichan, but also the area right out to Youbou, Honeymoon Bay, and all the way down the length of the Cowichan Valley,” said Mike Bishop.

The idea to move the radio station’s antenna to the end of Deer Rd. was presented to Lake Cowichan council during an August committee meeting. The town has decided to look into the

proposition further, starting with a determination of whether it owns the land in question.

“We had a really warm reception at the meeting, we were really happy about that,” said Bishop. “In the past we thought we had differences with the Town of Lake Cowichan, but they sure set those to rest at the meeting on Tuesday. They are being helpful right now, and we really appreciate that.”

In the future, the radio station would like to get involved with the CVRD’s emergency preparedness program.

“We want to be of public value during any type of disaster, whether it’s a fire,

heavy snow storm, or power outage. We can broadcast off of the grid because we have our own generators,” said Bishop.

Though the move of the antenna would expand the radio station’s audience, they look to it as a way to get the community more involved.

“It’s not just to get a bigger audience—we’re a community radio station—it’s nice that people listen, but we want to be around for the community,” said Bishop. “Whether that’s providing new artists a place to play their music or recite their poetry, or it’s a chance to let people know where to go to get supplies or necessities in the time of a disaster.”

Bishop says that in a perfect world everything will be up and ready to go by Halloween.

FileMike Bishop, Cowichan Valley Community Radio Society chairperson, on air for his 98.7FM Open Mike show, says the new antenna will increase the broadcast area.

Cowichan Lake area residents will be voting in a new federal riding during the Oct. 19, 2015 election.

They will be in the new Cowichan-Malahat-Lang-ford riding, which also includes North Cowichan, Duncan Mill Bay and much of Greater Victoria’s western communities, according to Elections Canada maps.

The final boundaries confirm the success of a local lobby last fall to have the local area included with Duncan, rather than an earlier plan that would have seen the Lake lumped into the new Nanaimo-Lady-smith riding.

The two new ridings were born after the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission finished work on redistributing Canada’s electoral districts. The final report has been handed to the Chief Electoral Officer and B.C.’s six new ridings are set to be proclaimed into law this month.

The changes mark the end of current Nanaimo-Co-wichan riding. Nanaimo-Cowichan NDP MP Jean Crowder will see her current riding split; half going to Nanaimo-Ladysmith, the other half to CML.

Crowder told the Gazette she hadn’t decided which riding she’ll run in.

“We did make some presentations to the riding boundary commission, particularly in the initial proposal,” she said.

“What they had done is put Lake Cowichan in the

Nanaimo-Ladysmith area, and they clearly heard us and changed that so Lake Cowichan is now with the Cowichan-Malahat Langford area.”

Other minor changes were suggested, and the com-mission was largely accommodating, the veteran MP noted.

“The riding boundary commission has a tough job to do because they’re trying to balance the numbers and the communities of interest.”

The commission was created in February 2012 to set boundaries so each electoral district would hold roughly the same number of people while recognizing communities of interest or identity, historical patterns, and geographical size in sparsely populated regions.

The legal description of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford — population 99,160 — consists of the Cowichan Valley Regional District; City of Duncan; Town of Lake Cowichan; Municipality of North Cowichan; Cowichan Indian Reserve and Penelakut Island Indian Reserve No. 7; subdivisions A, B, C, D, E, F and I; the part of Subdivision G comprising Dayman Island, Hudson Island, Leech Island, Miami Islet, Penelakut Island, Ragged Islets, Reid Island, Rose Islets, Scott Island, Tent Island and Thetis Is-land; parts of the Capital Regional District compris-ing Subdivision H (Part 2); District Municipality of Highlands; City of Langford; Subdivision H (Part 1) lying northerly of the district municipalities of Sooke and Metchosin, and westerly of Squally Reach.

FileNo smoking policy: A new policy at public Cowichan Lake sports facilities took effect Aug. 7, including the Cowichan Lake Sports arena on South Shore Road in Lake Cowichan, above.

Lake to join new Cowichan-Malahat-Langford ridingNo more Nanaimo-Cowichan: New electoral boundaries to be made law this month



There will be no puffs between periods at the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena this fall.

All Cowichan Lake sports facilities are under a new no-smoking policy, which came into effect on Aug. 7.

“What the (policy) is, is there’s to be no smoking on the grounds owned or leased by the Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre — as well as the buildings,” said spokesperson Linda Blatchford.

“So that includes the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena complex, the Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall, Youbou Community Hall, bowling alley, Mesachie Lake Hall and the Honeymoon Bay Hall.”

Currently, there’s no bylaw put in place, only a policy, but this could change by the fall.

“This is actually not a bylaw; it’s a policy,” said Blatchford. “We’re hoping that it will soon be a

CVRD-wide bylaw, but that will not happen until the fall.

“When it becomes a bylaw, it will be enforceable by a bylaw officer and the RCMP. In this case, we are just asking people to respect the policy.”

Other recreational facilities in the Cowichan Valley already have no smoking policies like this one in play, said Blatchford. Lake Cowichan is the last centre to put no smoking rules in place.

“The CVRD is currently working on a bylaw that will include no smoking in parks, recreation and cultural facilities and any infrastructure, such as parks and trails,” said Blatchford. “

There is no punishment at this time for those who choose to smoke on grounds owned by the Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre; the staff will just kindly ask you to put out your smoke, says Blatchford.

“People are pretty respectful about lighting up a smoke outside the doors of the facilities.”

In total $2,365 was raised for the Terry Fox Society. Cozens sends a special thank you to Lance and Liz Stewart, the owners of Jake’s at the Lake, who personally donated and barbecued at least 124 delicious hamburgers and Country Grocer for donating water.Clockwise from top left: Dick Newman, the volunteer timer for the Lake Cowichan Terry Fox Run.; participants warm-up with exercises led by mother and daughter Bernadette and Jessica Knowles; Darcie Wiltse, with her children Tansin and Cormac just before the start; Lake Cowichan volunteer firefighter Jessica Knowles takes a breather; Lance Stewart from Jake’s at the Lake restaurant in Lake Cowichan grill hamburgers for the participants; runners and walkers cross the CPR Trestle by Greendale Road, it’s about the half way mark of the 5K Terry Fox Run; Lylah McDougal and fellow walker Judith Quinlan’s dog Molly after finishing. > Palsson School’s Terry Fox Run photo on page 19

NEDFEST is billed as a fundraiser to “Kick Cancer’s Ass.” The day-long Sept. 7 Mesachie Lake concert did exactly

that.Once again organizers Chrissy Belcourt and Doug Eddy

ran a great event with great Island bands. With the live and silent auctions and donations Belcourt

says NEDFEST will make a donation of $2,700 to the Canadian Cancer Society.

The audience — known as Nedhedz — were made up of all ages and seemed to find at least one or two bands to really dance to, with musical styles ranging from Irish, Celtic and folk by Crikey Mor, country tunes from 99 Buck, high-energy rock by Weak Patrol or hard rock by Kronic.

Local Bands Clearcut and the New Leaves, as well as teen band The Colts got to share the same stage as headliner rock/reggae band Ganjo Bassman with local band members Sean Maher and Paul Jutras.

For the first time Chrissy Belcourt joined Clearcut as lead singer, she owned the stage as they had the audience singing along with the band.

A touching moment was a special memorial to Nedhedz Tim Cooke, who joined the list of fallen friends who have been taken too soon, it only served to make the crowd want to celebrate even more.

That is what NEDFEST promotes: “ Life is too short, kick up a little dust, laugh, love and dance.”

If you missed this year, don’t make that mistake next year!

Malcolm ChalmersClockwise fro top left: Chrissy Belcourt from Lake Cowichan, organizer of the annual NEDFEST in Mesachie Lake and lead singer for Clearcut, has the audience sing along with the band; headlining band Ganjo’s bassman gives a fan the thrill of the night by taking a selfie (taking your own photo) with the fan’s cellphone on stage during NEDFEST; As the sun starts to set, 99 Buck from west Victoria brings to the stage excellent country songs sung by Tracey Nolan and Heather Doyle — Dax Denver, Caleb Kennedy and Jaime Nolan make up the rest of this popular Island band.

Training for the Tour de Rock may be more daunting than the actual tour, but riders Donna Fraser and Mike Oliver are gearing up for the challenge. And both riders are thrilled their spouses are so sup-portive.

Learning to clip into peddles on a bicycle was the first skill novice rider Donna Fraser learned for the 2013 Tour de Rock.

“I’d never clipped into peddles before, it took a tumble or two to get it, but I don’t think I will go back now,” she said.

The West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable is no stranger to the tour, – her husband, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser, was a tour rider in 2011.

“As an alumni rider I can come out on the training rides,” Rod said. “It’s really neat to see her doing it.”

Rod trains with the team when-ever he isn’t working.

“He’s awesome to have support-ing me, especially knowing he’s done it before,” Donna said. “He has helped me tremendously and he’s been an awesome support.”

Before being accepted for the Tour team, neither Fraser nore Donna were avid cyclists, but the couple has found a passion for cycling and say it’s something they will continue to do together after the Tour.

“I know what she’s going through as far as training is going,” Rod said. “Right now they are training her for the physical aspects but nothing can prepare you for the emotional part. For me it was very emotional.”

Meanwhile, Sgt. Mike Oliver is happy to have a stable posting at CFB Esquimalt as a military police officer.

A 16-year military veteran who joined the police in 2002, he has spent much of career deployed overseas, including hotspots like Bosnia and Afghanistan.

This year he joined the tour as he was fortunate enough to be in the country and was eager to take part.

“I’ve spent a lot of my time deployed and I have been helping people abroad,” Oliver said.

Oliver’s wife Tracey has been

instrumental in his fundraising.“This has been for her as much

of a journey as it’s been for me,” he said. “She’s been on board with every fundraiser. She’s been in the dunk tank and done car washes.”

Mike’s fundraisers have been so successful he reached his initial goal of $5,000 months ago. He doubled his goal to $10,000 and just sur-passed that one too.

Oliver has always led an active lifestyle through running, going to the gym and playing hockey. This is the first time he’s ever spent so much time training on a bike.

“Riding in a group setting isn’t the same as just riding on the road. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” he said.

The 2013 Tour de Rock team began training in March and has trained hard three days a week working on hills, speed and distance training.

Originally from Ottawa, training for the Tour has been a way for Mike to explore Greater Victoria and have a chance to see Vancouver Island tip-to-tip. “I’ve never been past Cour-tenay,” he said.

Nitinat anglers busy as early fall loomsThe current scene

From Cowichan Bay boat launch to Cherry Point beach, pinks are everywhere.

Fly fishing with beach flies in pink or green colours are your best bet. Spin casters try using small pink and white or pink spinners, spoons or buzz bombs.

As these fish finish up, coho will be staging on Cherry Point beach (southeast of Duncan).

Port Renfrew: Fishing has been sporadic this season. Top chinook weighed in the low 40s. Best producer a Gold Betsy flasher and anchovy with UV, army truck or green chrome heads. There are lots of coho clipped and unclipped.

Nitnat: Nitnat bar is producing well for cut pluggers. The lake is alive! Try cut plugging edge of current seam on the flood tide. Jerkers doing well using smaller jigs in 1oz to 2oz sizes. These lures match the

bait fish perfectly.

In the month aheadCoho and chum:

Save your bait they love spoons! Recommend Dymara lazer spoons/coyote spoons.

Freshwater: Cowichan Lake fishing will continue to improve as the temperature cools. Currently fish are holding at 40 to 60 feet during mid day. First and last light, fish are cruising the shore line at 20 to 30 feet. Gang troll and worms are the best bet. Always popular are 3” Tomic plugs, Kwik Fish or flatfish. Top lure Dr. Minnow.

No boat, no problem: There is always fish biting when bait fishing at the creek mouths. Use sliding weights and a corky rig. Top baits (now that the salmon are migrating through the lake) and pink salmon eggs. Roe or worms are always worth a try.

Cowichan River:

from weir to the top of Marie Canyon fly fishing only. From Marie Canyon to Cowichan Bay closed to all fishing. This closure is necessary to protect returning chinook. Numbers are extremely low.

So dust off your fly roads and have some fun. Top flys: Egg flys/Rolled Mudlers/Pheasant Tail/Prince & Hares Ear nymphs/Caddis or American March brown drys.

Nitnat River: Wow! Lots of fish. Generous retention of chinook, chum and coho make this a true harvest fishery. The art of angling is to entice a fish to take your fly or lure. These fish will bite. All foul-hooked fish must be released. Deliberate snagging is illegal and unethical.

Recommended techniques

Fly fishing: sink tip lines & B.H. flys.

Top picks – Rolled Muddlers/Wooly Buggers. Stop in at the store for best colour picks. More than 30,000 flys in stock! It is heart-stopping to see a 20- to 30-pound chinook chasing your fly across the shallows and then slam your fly.

Float Fishing: chartreuse or peach wool ties best bet.

Spin Fishing: go small – small spoons or spinners produce well. Too large a lure spooks them.

As the leaves turn crimson & float to the ground, the rivers start to rise with the first fall rains. Coho, chum and summer steelhead will be on the move.

Top rivers are the Cowichan, Sooke, San Juan, Harris, Nitnat and Stamp. Always check your regs before heading out.

Cowichan Lake conservationists were among those cheering loudly at an Aug. 31 federal government press conference in Cowichan Bay.

A pair of local salmon enhancement projects were among six Minister of State John Duncan and fisheries minister Gail Shea awarded with a total of $203,000 from the new Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program.

“It was huge application process that had a short notice on people seeking funding,” said Bob Crandall of the Cowichan Lake Salmonid Enhancement Society tackling the Beaver Lake Dam Maintenance Project.

His society landed $20,120.“It’ll preserve a threatened

coho run of 100 to 200 mating pairs each year grouped in the creek. They were down to almost no coho,” Crandall said of the project started by the society and the environment ministry in the ‘90s.”

Others funds went to the Pacific Salmon Foundation to restore Oliver Creek Fish Passage habitat; Cowichan Land Trust to restore and enhance critical fish habitat in regional creeks; Quamichan

Watershed Stewardship Society for a floating island and bubble aerator to rehabilitate that lake’s recreational fishery project; B.C. Wildlife Federation to redevelop Sandy Pool’s boat launch and fishery restoration; and SeaChange Marine Conservation Society for its Salish Sea Near-Shore Marine Recreational Fisheries Project.

Meanwhile, Crandall’s crews are working on the Beaver Lake’s dam so it’ll pass provincial inspections.

“We had to create an additional spillway, remove old earth, and add blasted rock,” he said, cheering various partners helping upgrade where Beaver Creek appears beside the weir.

Spawning platforms and gravel have been added, “and now the DFO has to attach itself to the project.”

“We want to get the work finished before Sept. 15, the closing of the in-stream activity window,” Crandall said.

The feds’ funds twinned his society’s $25,000 from Shell, $5,000 from TD Bank, and $5,000 from RBC’s Blue Water Fund.

Dam maintenance will also see trail maintenance “so people can see the spawning.”

He saw Ottawa’s program as money well spent. “You can’t turn your back on a strong, producing salmon stream. This makes sure fish have habitat.”

Gord Tuck returned from the World Disabled Waterski Championships empty handed, save for a renewed sense of commitment to his fellow Team Canada skiers.

Competing in the preliminary rounds of the WDWC’s slalom event — hosted at a “beautiful, world-class site” in Milan, Italy Aug. 29 — Tuck “blew it” while approaching his first gate.

“I was hoping for a top-three finish,” Tuck explained, “and if I would have skied as I normally do, I would have ended up (on the podium).”

Unfortunately for Tuck, he started his first pass late, a miscalculation veteran skiers make on “one in a hundred” runs, he said.

“I blew it, but you pick yourself back up and carry on. I ended up fifth overall in the slalom.”

Tuck may not have achieved the goals he’d set for himself in slalom, but competing alongside his Canadian teammates instilled in him a newfound sense of national-

team spirit. Commenting on Team USA’s

tendency to win competitions through the sheer size of their squad —Team USA fielded 13 skiers compared to Canada’s five-man squad — Tuck said he’s planning on expanding his skiing repertoire to better Team Canada’s chances of a future top-three finish.

Canada finished fourth overall this year, Tuck said, and if he “would’ve tricked and jumped — even if I hadn’t posted podium results — we probably would’ve moved into third place as a team.”

Tuck’s strategy moving forward includes a visit to Radar Lake in suburban Seattle in the coming weeks.

While there, he and coach Shawn Shorsky will work with Radar Skis, a Washington-based manufacturer, to test and modify a new custom-built, carbon-fibre slalom ski designed specifically for Tuck’s right-footed stance (he lost his left leg in a logging accident at the age of 18).

“We’re going to experiment with some designs and build a bunch of skis we like before we come on home,” Tuck said, acknowledging

that he feels incredibly fortunate to do what “nobody else in his world” gets to do.

As summer slowly fades to fall, Tuck said he plans to spend considerable amounts of time out on Cowichan Lake polishing his

slalom performance while dusting off his jumping and trick-skiing skills.

Through his newfound devotion to the full skiing trinity, Tuck hopes to propel Team Canada to new heights at future competitions.

“I don’t know that I’ll train hard enough to be a top-three trick skier or jumper,” Tuck said, “but if I can finish in the top 10, it’ll be good for Team Canada. I’ll train this winter and we’ll test it out in the Pan Am [Games] next year.”

Tuck calls fifth-place finish a missed opportunity12 Wednesday, September 18, 2013 THE LAKE COWICHAN GAZETTE www.lakecowichangazette.com

Nick Bekolay Lake CowiChan Gazette

Patrick Warren first suited up for the Cowichan Bulldogs at the age of seven and he would wear the Bulldogs’ signature crimson and gold through each and every game until his selection for the 2013 Starbowl last March.

The former Lake Cowichan resident approached Starbowl — the B.C. Community Football Association’s equivalent of an all-star game — assuming his football career was drawing to a close.

“I thought I was done at the end of my Bulldogs career,” Warren explained, “but then I went to Starbowl.”

Seated in the crowd was a scout for the Westshore Rebels, a British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC) team based in Langford.

“I guess he liked me,” Warren

added. “He sent me a message saying ‘Come out to my camp,’ and the rest is history.”

Standing five feet, 11 inches and weighing in at 225 pounds, a red-and-black clad Warren has been suiting up as the Rebels’ left guard, “heading off linebackers” or blocking the opposition’s tackle whenever his team’s on the offensive.

With four games now under his belt, the rookie offensive lineman has come to appreciate what it means to play with a team that’s in a development year.

The Rebels kicked off their season with a 10-35 home-turf loss

to the VI Raiders July 27 followed by a crushing 10-69 loss to the Langley Rams at McLeod Park Stadium Aug. 3.

A 26-37 loss at home to the Okanagan Sun extended the Rebels’ losing streak to three Aug. 10, and a rematch versus the Langley Rams Aug. 17 ensured the Rebels would remain winless through their first four games of the season (they lost to the Rams 20-58).

“We played some really heavy teams in our first couple of games,” Warren said. “We played the Raiders and Langley and they’re known as the [league’s] really good

teams, but we should be playing some easier teams [next.]”

Warren acknowledged that their loss to Langley was “pretty bad,” he said, but he remains optimistic on their chances for the season.

“We’re still developing,” Warren explained. “Our team is developing and getting better and better with every game.”

The 19-year-old tech specialist completed Camosun College’s Network Electronics program last spring, he said, and he’s since moved to Victoria to intern with VIHA as “a technical analyst.”

When he completes his internship late September, Warren

said he hopes to find a job in the Greater Victoria area so that he can remain in the city through the remainder of the Rebels season.

The BCFC functions as a development league for football teams fielded by Canadian universities, Warren said, so he hopes to spend the next year or so exploring his future prospects both on and off the field.

“I think it’d be cool to go to UBC,” Warren said, adding that he’s eyeing a degree in either electronics or computer science at a post-secondary school that fields a team.

The Rebels play their next home game versus Nanaimo’s VI Raiders Saturday, Sept. 21, at Westhills Stadium in Langford. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Prizes will be awarded for the top three photos in each of two categories: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. The contest is open to all adult (age 14 years and up) backyard and amateur photographers residing in B.C.

Learn more about this year’s contest and see win-ners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.
