Robbers hit two banks, grocery

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
A rash of robberies kept police in the Cowichan Valley busy on Wednesday afternoon.
The Island Savings Credit Union branch at the Cowichan Commons mall, the 49th Parallel grocery store in Chemainus and the Royal Bank in Ladysmith were all hit within a few hours, although police are unsure if the incidents are related.
A lone man robbed the Cowic-han Commons Island Savings around 4:10 p.m. None of the employees or customers were harmed. A short time later, the Royal Bank on First Street in Ladysmith was robbed.
Both the North Cowichan/Duncan and Ladysmith detach-ments are investigating.
“It is unknown at this time if the two robberies are linked as the investigation is still very fluid,” Cpl. Krista Hobday of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP said on Thursday morning.

PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN
David Pennington is running for clean-er oceans and communities, one kilo-metre at a time.
The 30-year-old Duncan man, a co-founder of the Friendly Drifter Foun-dation, will be raising awareness and funds for a waste management facility and program in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, an exceptionally biodiverse coastal group of islands dealing with massive plastic waste problems.
“I’m trying to set up a waste manage-ment in this remote area,” said Penning-ton, adding that he hopes to raise $25,000 with his run.
Pennington’s Ocean Rescue Run will start April 18 at the United States-Mex-ico border and then follow a 2,700 km route up the Pacific coast to Vancouver, taking the Pacific Coast Highway when-ever feasible. On the Ocean Rescue Run, he plans to run 62 km per day, with his girlfriend Kate driving in a camper van alongside. Pennington estimates the run will take him two months.
“We’ll try to go on the highway when-ever we can just to promote awareness as much as possible,” explained Pen-nington, who completed an Ironman tri-athlon in Mexico three years ago encom-passing a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride and 42 km run.
Ahead of the run, Pennington has been training daily and averaging around 70 km in running per week, a remarkable feat given that just three months ago he was suffering from malaria and didn’t know if he would end up doing the run.
“In January, 2016 on my last visit to Indonesia I contracted malaria. I lost a lot of my energy and power and muscle and lost about 20 pounds in about a week and a half,” Pennigton said. “But about a month and a half ago I decided to continue with it.”
Friendly Drifter originally arose out of Pennington’s travels to Indonesia and seeing the waste problem.
“When I first traveled there I realized the need for it and I met people with
the same kind of concerns I had, one person in particular is a local guide called Ranny,” Pennington explained of his Friendly Drifter co-founder Ranny Tumundo. “When you go to any beach at high tide it brings all this plastic in on the beach and it just sits there. And every tide it gets washed away and new stuff comes up,” he added.
The town of Waisai, where Pennington plans to build the facility, has a popula-tion of approximately 20,000 and further land and population lies in Raja Ampat’s extended archipelago area. The town is a two-and-a-half-hour boat ride from the nearest major city of Sorong. Penning-ton said Raja Ampat residents dispose of waste through streams and rivers that then find their way into the ocean, and with his run he hopes to fundraise enough to build a waste facility to run garbage collection services, recycle all the plastic and run on energy from incineration of non-plastics.
“We want to do pickups weekly or on a regular basis throughout the islands on a barge that we want to buy as well,” Pennington said. “The waste manage-ment facility will recycle all plastic and then the non-plastic we will incinerate
and then we’ll use that incineration pro-cess to power the facility itself.”
The facility is still in the pre-approval stage and being costed out, but Penning-ton said he hopes his run will provide more awareness and momentum.
Pennington said he’s already been con-tacted by other municipalities in Indo-nesia interested in exploring similar options and he hopes a successful mod-el can be replicated around the world in communities struggling with waste and plastic pollution in their oceans.
“Our goal is to do the same thing that we’re doing in Raja Ampat throughout Indonesia,” Pennington said, adding that he hopes to eventually have large traffic and revenue generated by his site decrease fundraising needs. “We’ve spoken to other tourism department heads and they’ve requested us to their area of Indonesia and do the same thing already, so this thing could be huge. If we could kind of streamline this process that we’re doing in Raja Ampat and rep-licate it all over Indonesia it would be amazing.”

Congratulations to CVRD and N. Cowichan
Too often we see a lot of criticism of the two governing groups in our region; it can be easy to criticize the decisions made, the salaries paid, the policies and to be negative about our local government. However I think we also need to reflect on what has been done. I have a special place in my heart for the parks, trails and other things that are provided to us for all to enjoy, at no additional cost. Whether they are pocket parks located in a neighbourhood or bike/hiking trails on Maple Mountain or the recent acqui-sition of Baldy Mountain in Shawnigan Lake, it is wonderful to see that kind of effort to pro-tect this area for us.
These parks provide an oppor-tunity for people to get out and enjoy our area, with minimal risk while walking in the woods. This is providing for the future. These lands are set aside for all of us to enjoy.
So a big thank you to the polit-icians, managers and employees, for the foresight and hard work to make these opportunities available for us to enjoy.

So is that what fate would befall schools?
Re: sale of B.C. NDP head office. B.C. NDP president Craig Keating said that he pushed for the sale of the building because it was old and decrepit. Is this also admitting what kind of shape B.C. schools and hospitals would look like under an NDP provincial government?

E&N railway nothing but money sinkhole
Re: North Cowichan council asks: When will trains run again?
When pigs fly! Or, perhaps, when the mid-Is-
land population reaches a couple of million and the E&N corridor might be used for LRT.
Until then, any attempt to operate E&N train services is merely using our tax dollars to fund Dennis Washington, 21st wealthiest billionaire in the world and sole owner of Wash-ington Enterprises, which, in turn, solely owns South Island Rail — plus those persons still on the E&N payroll.
Does BC Rail ring a bell?The E&N is a moribund rail-
way and a sinkhole into which we pour nothing but money.
Pat MulcahySaltair
Many questions surround rail line
Your page 9 article about train service beginning “soon” is truly pie in the sky daydreaming.
Item one, who has produced an estimated, cost and time dur-ation of repairing the track from Victoria to Courtenay?
What plans are in place for modern units to run on this future system? This system has all its life been run with second hand museum-category equip-
ment; to say it was shoddy is giving it value.
Further to the future track arrangement, it does need to be twinned for a certain distance, in order for two units to work at the same time.
Has this ever been mentioned as a possibility to enable it to run as often as possible?
The mumbling about not hav-ing enough customers to give it credence is a red herring.
One other question, who, if anyone, is drawing a stipend out of what funds there are at this time and why?
Well editor, it becomes more curious and more curiouser the longer it is dead...

Many people think they’re really good at multi-task-ing — even behind the
wheel.So people distract themselves
as they are driving. All too often this involves a cell phone in some way, whether they are holding it up to their ear as they steer with one hand, or they’re texting — look! No hands!
Some drivers have even been known to watch videos on their phones while they manoeuvre through traffic.
The best course of action is to just put the cell phone away when in the driver’s seat.
We bet some people tried using it once while driving, for what they thought was a good reason, and, when nothing bad hap-pened, attributed their good for-tune to their own skills rather than the dumb luck it was.
Because every time you get away with it that’s what it is, blind luck.
All it takes is a second of inattention for something irreversible to happen.
Just ask the Citizen’s own Rob-ert Barron who last week took the challenge of the Distracted Driving Course set up at the Island Savings Centre by the
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP and community policing, along with other partner agencies.
The course doesn’t require you to do anything so complicated as drive while you use your phone. All you have to do is walk. That should be automatic, right?
Our reporter found that he ended up inadvertently break-ing three traffic laws (on top of the prohibition against using cell phones while driving).
Among the things he missed while looking at his phone screen were a dog and a play-ground zone.
Yikes. We’d bet that many
of the motorists who believe they’ve perfectly safely used their cell phones while driving don’t even know what they’ve missed. They are blissfully ignorant of the hazard they are creating on the road.
Because distracted driving isn’t just a danger to the driver who’s not paying attention.
The distracted driver is putting everyone else in their vicinity in danger along with them.
That includes the kids in the playground zone, the beloved pets that come in front of their wheels, and the senior trying to use the crosswalk.
Then there are the people in the other vehicles, also going at speed.
The truth of the matter is that one in four of all vehicle fatal-ities in this province are caused by distracted driving.
Will that text really seem important to you or the person you’re sending it to after you die? If not, you should put the phone down.
It’s also a good idea to put aside the other distractions too, from the make-up brush to your lunch. There’s a better time to do it and that’s when you’re not behind the wheel.
Do you know if you missed the school zone?OUR VIEW

Kelsey took stand before link known
T.W. Paterson says of Frances Kelsey that she took a cour-ageous stand against thalidomide “...after it was linked to thou-sands of appalling birth defects.”
Actually, Dr. Kelsey took a stand before the link was known, insisting that the drug companies fol-low proper procedure in testing their drugs before they were put on the market.
She refused to be rushed or bullied into approving the drug.
For that we must honour her.

‘Disgusted’ by council’s decision
I attended the North Cow-ichan council public meeting on March 10 and am dis-gusted with the results of the council’s vote in regards to the Berkey’s corner development.
There was an overwhelming opposition from the residents of this area but it fell to deaf ears as they voted in this completely unnecessary development. They used wording during the meeting that borders on delusional to rationalize the need for another drive-thru in the valley. Director of develop-ment services, Scott Mack explained that the drive-thru would help lower emissions because people would have less distance to drive to get their cup of coffee and now, because of this, I will be able to order one from my dining room window.
Is this the world we live in? Is this thinking green? To me, and countless others in this community, this is the type of backwards thinking that is going to rob our future gener-ations of a planet to live on. So now I have to look forward to the pollution of a predicted 1,000 cars idling daily beside the yard where my young children play. But what does it matter? It’s just the lungs of my children (and countless others in this area) who will be breathing in the fumes of
the council’s poor decision.

Look at drug houses, not speeding drivers
I am getting fed up with the bs from our civil servants, otherwise known as the RCMP.
Not enough resources to get rid of drug houses! Maybe stop harassing law abiding citizens and the obvious intimidation by our police force. Apparently the RCMP have done away with good old-fashioned police work and have instead resorted to hid-ing behind trees and street signs to catch people going five or 10 over the speed limit. It’s a joke!
Excuse after excuse why they can’t protect us from criminals and drug addicts, due to those people’s rights. What about my rights?

A few pebbles in the shoe of life
Isn’t it infuriating that:1. Canada Post charges a
fuel surcharge on our parcels even though fuel costs have dropped immensely.
2. Your favourite local little grocery store entices you in
with its good deals, and you find the computer at the check-out still has the old price, and you haven’t saved a thing!
3. Drivers roar up Government Street hill and don’t seem to know there is a crossing just at the top, with children that use it to get to
school. Maybe a flashing light?4. Your BC Hydro bill for two
months is $176 more than this time last year, and you are still cold!
Other than that, life is wonderful.

OPINION
Aircraft practising over neighbourhoods a big problem
I can assure Mr. Erickson that Ms. Ramsdin’s reports of low-flying aircraft are accurate, and the volume of flight training conducted over our homes is obnoxious.
We in Saltair and Chemainus are sub-ject to a high volume of forced landing approach and stall recovery training on a daily basis, often several times per day with aircraft tag-teaming the airspace. This type of training is inherently dan-gerous as it simulates crash scenarios. The forced landing approaches involve aircraft cutting power at low altitudes and gliding as far as they deem “safe” before recovering power again, often accompanied by back-firing engines. Imagine the consequences if the engines didn’t power up!
I first contacted Jean Crowder and Transport Canada in 2007 regarding these activities. I had documented several incidents of aircraft passing extremely low overhead with engines cut, and felt like my family was physic-ally and immediately at risk. Requests to the flying schools were ignored. I was told by Transport Canada that Saltair is not defined as a built-up area and is not subject to regulations requiring aircraft to not fly within 1,000 feet vertically and 2,000 feet horizontally. When asked for the official definition of built-up area I was told, “It is very complicated as there is no single definition of a built-up area.”
“The best course of action is to call the flying schools, ask for the Chief Flight Instructor and request that they avoid flight training near your home.”
I have phoned these flight schools num-erous times over the years and amicably requested that they reduce the volume of flight training in our area. I always receive the same answer: they will try to
avoid over-using the area. Then the flight training resumes as usual.
This type of aviation over residential areas, schools businesses and parks is a hazard and a nuisance. It is unethical to endanger lives other than a willing pilot and instructor in order to conduct flight training, yet Transport Canada allows these dangerous activities to continue unabated over our families and homes.
Why is it acceptable for Victoria and Nanaimo pilots to fly all the way to Sal-tair and Chemainus to conduct their dangerous activities over our families and properties, schools and parks? The flying schools are externalizing the costs of their profit-making ventures for Chemainus and Saltair residents to bear. I was told by the flying schools that they designate our neighbourhood as an offi-cial training area. They said they even have their own specific radio frequency for training in the area.
Consulting Transport Canada’s official Vancouver VTA charts, Saltair is not defined as a flight training area. There are two Class F training air spaces set aside for flight training in this part of the Island. These are, namely: CYA 113(A)(T)(H) and CYA 118 (A)(T)(H). I am espe-cially curious why Nanaimo and Victoria flight schools insist on training here when there are two designated training areas as per Transport Canada?
We are told by Transport Canada to document these activities and record air-plane registration numbers and altitudes. This is next to impossible given the new Transport Canada regulations that no longer require aircraft to clearly mark registration numbers on the bottoms of their wings. As for determining specific altitudes of aircraft, that is an impossible request of a citizen.

PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN
Amanda Poch is alive thanks to an organ donor.
The 36-year-old is still thankful for the moment 10 years ago when a liver trans-plant saved her life, and is volunteering with the Live Then Give Tour across Van-couver Island and the province to encour-age people to become organ donors. The tour made several stops in Duncan last Friday and Saturday.
“Ten years ago I received a liver trans-plant. I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis when I was 20 years old. So at the age of 26 [her liver] failed and it came down to six hours that I almost passed away. It’s less than a business day, you don’t realize how quick it can happen,” Poch said.
“Fortunately for the two minutes it took for that organ donor to sign their registra-tion form I was able to live.”
Poch has been touring the Island with Live Then Give, handing out informa-tion and speaking to passersby about the benefits of becoming an organ donor and signing an organ donation card. Her tour began Wednesday, March 9 at the provin-cial legislature in Victoria, with stops in Duncan Friday, March 11 at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre and Saturday, March 12 at the Duncan Farmers’ Market.
“This is my 10-year anniversary so I’m traveling the province to raise organ donor awareness and to raise 10,000 organ donor registrations,” she said. “The Kidney Foun-dation of Canada’s B.C. branch has a man-date to raise organ donor awareness as well, that’s why I’ve partnered with them.”
In Duncan, volunteers Stu Keeping, Tina Andersen and Tracey Bodger helped out Poch at her information table. Keeping is the recipient of a kidney from his son Craig, while Andersen received a life-sav-ing heart transplant eight years ago and Bodger received a kidney transplant in 2012.
Poch said Duncan has been very respon-sive to her message.
“It has been amazing here in Duncan. Everybody has been so supportive at the aquatic centre here as well I’ve been able to speak to everybody before their classes or after their classes and everybody’s been so great, I’m blown away by the response,” she said.
The Kidney Foundation is concerned about statistics showing that while 95 per cent of British Columbians have said they support organ donation only 20 per cent have actually registered on B.C.’s organ donation registry. The foundation, along with help from supporters like Poch has committed to increase kidney transplants by 50 per cent over the next five years, cit-ing 544 people in B.C. currently waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, with 425 of those being people who need a kidney.
“To register takes two minutes,” Poch said. “It’s very quick, very easy and you have the ability to be able to save up to eight lives.”
For more information on organ donation and the B.C. Kidney Foundation visit www.kidney.bc.ca.
Two minutes and one signed form saved her life

The Cowichan Valley Regional District is clarifying its position on liquefied natural gas facilities in the district.
At last week’s meeting, the board of directors released a statement saying it’s aware of its responsibilities to give “appro-priate consideration” to all land-use appli-cations to the district in accordance to the Local Government Act.
The statement comes after the board unanimously voted at its meeting on Feb. 10 that it wants no part of the $37.5-mil-lion proposal to build an LNG facility in Mill Bay, or any other LNG proposal in the district.
Director Lori Iannidinardo introduced that motion after reviewing chatter on social media regarding plans by the Mala-hat Nation and Vancouver-based Steel-head LNG to develop an LNG facility at the Mill Bay site.
At the time, the board decided that the benefits of the project don’t outweigh its potential pitfalls to the environment, as well as to the local coastline, if there is a spill or fire.
But chairman Jon Lefebure said that as part of the board’s responsibilities on land-use issues and applications, all applicants must get a “fair hearing.”
“We must listen to all sides on these
issues with an open mind and we didn’t have the applicant appear before us before we made this decision,” he said.
“That’s a tough one for some members of the public to understand. But there are rules that apply to us when making these decisions and we must have fair hearings,” Lefebure said.

If you have ever visited some Asian countries, you may find you have to squat to use the bathroom facilities. It’s an uncomfortable way to have a bowel movement but ironically it provides a
clearer exit pathway and the muscles are more relaxed. There is a special device on the market that raises your feet as you sit on a normal toilet. It’s supposed to be the same as squatting.
Marijuana is often painted as a safe drug. However, in teenagers it can be quite detrimental because their brains are still in development and the synapses are still making connections strengthened by the experiences they take part in. The “unfinished” brain makes teens more susceptible to wanting to carry on with the drug, more so than in an adult who starts the drug later in life.
New Zealand and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world that allow drug companies to advertise directly to the consumer. Billions of dollars are spent on this form of promotion and there is a move to start curtailing this type of advertising and direct some of this money into reducing the cost of medications.
In the U.S. there has been a huge crackdown on health products that contain hidden ingredients not on the label. These products often claim to help “sexual enhancement” and weight loss. Health Canada in our country is always on the lookout for these types of products and will ban the sale if found. Many of these products can be found on-line. Remember: if it’s too good to be true, it is.
If you are concerned about a product, talk to us. We will look into it for you.

I didn’t even see the dog.The stuffed dog on the side of
the imaginary road that was part of the Distracted Driving Course Friday at the Island Sav-ings Centre didn’t even register in my brain as I was trying to dial a number on my cell phone while manoeuvring through the course.
In fact, I “sped” through a playground zone and over a train track on the walk-through course without noticing those either as I changed functions on my phone while bystanders tossed beach balls at me and I was harassed by a lady with a loud horn at the same time.
“You’ve broken three traffic laws, on top of using a cell phone while driving and that alone is a $167 fine,” Carol-Ann Rolls, manager of the local Community Policing volun-teers, said with a grin.
After that eye-opening experi-ence, I don’t find it very hard to believe that there are an aver-age of 81 fatalities on B.C.’s roads each year that are a dir-ect result of distracted driving; that’s one in four of all vehicle fatalities.
The North Cowichan/Duncan branch of the RCMP teamed up with ICBC and other agencies Friday in Operation Hang Up, a concerted effort to get the message through to motorists to hang up their phones during
the month of March, which is Distracted Driving Month.
Representatives from all the groups were on hand Friday, March 11 at the Island Savings Centre, educating people on the facts and costs of distract-ed driving.
They were also out in force monitoring traffic on both the north and south lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway that morning to deter the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving.
Of the more than 3,000 vehi-cles that were monitored over
more than one hour, just two motorists were spotted using their cell phones while driving.
But RCMP Const. Tari Bear, who works in the municipal traffic unit, said the small number who were caught was likely related to the fact that the police and the volunteers had placed numerous signs on the side of the road warning drivers about using their cell phones before they were actual-ly monitored.
“The fact is that we’re still finding a lot of drivers use their phones while on the road.”
Course a wake-up call on distracted driving

Residents in the Cowichan Val-ley are encouraged to turn off their lights and power down their electronics on Saturday night for Earth Hour 2016.
Between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. locals have the chance to join the global event that began in 2007. Its goal is to show support for action on climate change by highlighting just how much energy we use on a regular basis.
Last year’s Earth Hour resulted in 15 megawatt hours of electricity saved, reducing the overall provin-cial electricity load by 0.2 per cent — the equivalent of turning off almost 680,000 LED light bulbs, says a provincial government news release.
“An hour without electricity reminds us of our g rowing dependence on technology and the importance of being mindful of our impact on the planet,” said provincial Environment Minister Mary Polak in the release. “We can all make the choices necessary to use less.”
The top five communities in B.C. for overall power savings in 2015 were Whistler, Invermere, Clear-water, Houston and Logan Lake.
In the Cowichan Valley, last year the City of Duncan recorded the highest reductions with 1.7 per cent, lagging well behind the prov-incial leaders who scored a 7.2 per cent reduction. North Cowichan came in at a 1.6 per cent reduction.

The Quw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre is not clos-ing, according to a press release from Cowichan Tribes.
Previously the centre’s confer-ence and event coordinator Lori Kinnaird said she was informed by Cowichan Tribes, which owns the facility and six-acre property, that it would close permanently at the end of May, but a March 11 release from Cowichan Tribes Chief Wil-liam Seymour said the facility “remains open and operation-al and there are no plans at present to close its doors.”
In the March 11 release Sey-mour said that an assessment is currently ongoing to deter-mine the “continued financial viability” of the centre but that plans to close it have not been finalized.
Previously, Kinnaird told the Citizen that the facility, which opened in 1990, is now in need of some major repairs to some of its structures, but “doesn’t make much money.”
The property, located next to the Cowichan River, consists of a number of facilities, including Comeakin Hall, the RiverWalk Café Patio and a courtyard.
It sits adjacent to the Tribes-
owned Chances Casino and the former Vancouver Island Uni-versity property.
In 1986, Cowichan Tribes out-bid 20 other organizations for the property and bought it from Expo ’86.
In his release Seymour said that as the financial viability of the centre is assessed it “will continue to operate as a place to showcase the heritage of the Quw’utsun’ People and to raise the profile of Quw’utsun’ knitters, carvers and jewel-ry-makers as it has for the last 20 years.”
With a file from Robert Barron
Cultural Centre doors stay open — for now
“The Forensic Identification Unit and the Police Dog Service have contributed their exper-tise to the investigation. The investigating officers currently have several leads.
“The two detachments and resources from the Island Dis-trict General Investigation Section out of Victoria are liaising with each other. Every
effort will be made to identify those responsible for these two robberies.”
A f e w h o u r s l a t e r, a t 8:24 p.m., the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP were called to another robbery at the 49th Parallel store on Oak Street in Chemainus. A 55-year-old Chemainus man is in custody and charges are pending.
Anyone with information about the robberies should
contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522, the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Anyone who witnessed the robberies and would like to talk about their experiences should contact Cowichan Val-ley Regional RCMP Victim Services or Ladysmith RCMP Victim Services through their local detachments.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Neighbours band together for refugees
Find us on Twitter:@CowichanCitizen
Facebook page:‘Cowichan Valley Citizen’
PAUL BRIAN CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley is coming together to pro-vide a home for Syrian
refugees.The restoration of a large
four-bedroom house in the Satellite Park neighbourhood of Cobble Hill is progressing well, spearheaded by project
leaders Terry and Beth Black and helped by tremendous sup-port from neighbours and local businesses.
“Every vendor, every person who’s supported us in this pro-ject is just wonderful. It’s really an amazing story,” said Terry, noting the biggest challenge for Syrian refugees arriving in Canada is finding housing.
Terry’s daughter Katie prac-tises law in Ottawa and is vol-unteer co-ordinator for a pro bono program that trains law-yers to help refugees. Her work inspired Terry and Beth to get involved in helping Syrian refu-gee families being brought in by the federal government in conjunction with the Cowichan Intercultural Society.
“I look up and here’s John’s house and I turned to Beth and said ‘there’s an opportunity,’” said Terry, noting the house can fit a large family and perhaps even several relatives or another small family.
The house had been badly dam-aged by its last occupants with boats and old vehicles left around the yard, and owner John Humber couldn’t afford necessary repairs to rent it out again. However, he was agreeable to it being used by Syrian refugees if it could be fixed up. That’s where Satellite Park neighbours came in, offering to pro-vide volunteer labour. Donations, supplies and services began pour-ing in from local businesses and individuals.
“It really has been a wonderful experience,” Terry said, reading over an email he received from a community member offering lamps. “I get emails like this all the time.”
For the past five weeks, the couple and their neighbours, all retired, have been working full days almost every day to get the house ready.
Walls have been repaired and painted, carpets replaced, baseboard heaters replaced, a new kitchen and stove put in, new bathroom fixtures, showers and toilets installed. A repair of the broken septic system is currently underway by Save-On-Sep-tic and a neighbour has also offered a car for the incoming refugees.

LIVING
Approximately 200 government-sponsored refugees on Island
The federal government under Trudeau has taken in over 26,000 Syrian refugees thus
far, with an additional smaller num-ber of around 1,500 Syrian refugees who’d already been taken in under the Harper government. In total 55,800 refugees from Syria and other parts of the world are expected to arrive by the end of 2016 through both government and private spon-sorship as well as family reunifica-tion programs.
There are currently approximately 200 government-sponsored refugees on the Island, primarily in Victoria. The Cowichan Valley has welcomed two Syrian refugee families so far, with many more expected over the course of the year.
“The area, in terms of settlement resources, is well supported by the Cowichan Intercultural Soci-
ety who is organizing English Lan-guage courses, job training, school arrangements and the list goes on,” Terry said, adding that CIS expects between five and 12 families to arrive by mid-March.
As for those who oppose Canada accepting Syrian refugees or believe they pose a security risk, Terry said
that he takes it in stride.“This one lady I talked to, her son
is in Iraq, and she says ‘I’m sorry but I can’t really help you ‘cause my son has been living with those people and he doesn’t have really good stories about what they do, how they live.’ So I just don’t say anything. I say thanks for taking the time to hear our story,” Terry said, adding that he has confidence in the federal government’s refugee screening process.
“All of these people coming to the country have been vetted. We have very little risk of any immigrating here that could cause us any sort of a terrorist risk,” he said.
Refugees, in fact, are often vic-tims themselves of terrorism and dictatorial governments.
“They’ve been living in an environment where they’ve been losing family members on a regular basis and having the hell beat out of their homes to the point where they can’t stay,” Terry said, adding that the Syr-ian civil war is “an abysmal situation for humans to inflict upon humans.”
More than half of Syria’s population has fled the country as refugees
or have become internally displaced due to the ongoing civil war. Approximately half of these 12 million refugees are children according to the Immigrant Services Society of BC. According to the Guardian newspaper in the U.K., in the five years since the Syrian civil war began over 400,000 Syrians have been killed and more than 70,000 have died from lack of
necessities such as clean water and health care.
Ultimately Terry said he hopes the government can bring in even more
Syrian refugees than its stated goal and that people hearing what Satellite Park residents have done will be inspired to follow suit.
“Maybe people will look at what we’re doing and maybe
know of a house and say ‘that’sa good idea, why can’t we dothat for Syrian refugees?” hesaid. “We’re just champing at the bit to find out who we’regetting, what’s the family goingto be like?”
Those interested in helpingwith a donation or items forthe house may email Terry andBeth at [email protected] orcall 778-356-0470.
REFUGEES, From Page 15 SATELLITE PARK residents who have helped Terry and Beth include Carol and Rick Scott, Frank Statham, John Krug, Joe Davis, Barbara Thompson, Chris Koehn, Bob Holland, Richard Calverley, Ridley Wikkerink, Francis and David Derkson and Shirley and Al Crossen, who gave a discount on their old kitchen counters and cupboards to help outfit the home.
BUSINESS HELPERS have included Chad Gurski of Valley Carpet One and End of the Roll Carpets for replacing all floor coverings, Cam McLean of Keel Hauling for taking away a 28-foot boat, Coastal Environmental for disposing of it, Sears for supplying a new washing machine and dryer, Doran and Sons Plumbing, Godolphin Tree Service, Sleep Country for supplying two twin beds, Windsor Plywood for a new front door, Central Landscaping for their help making the yard beautiful, E.B. Horsman for electrical parts, Frances Kelsey Secondary School dry grad for taking two cars and a trailer of 2.5 tonnes of metal to recycling, DL Bins for supplying and emptying bins, Rona Cobble Hill and Home Depot for gift cards and Benjamin Moore for providing all paint and painting supplies.
MORE THAN $1,200 in donations have also been received from residents in the neigh-bourhood who didn’t have time to help, and many have offered furniture and house-hold items such as cutlery.

Now more than ever, this project makes sense
for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we
receive the most from our natural resources
at a time when our economy needs it most.
The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow
Canadian oil to be delivered to international
markets and, as a result, Canada will earn
approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.
By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.
In addition, the expansion will create tens
of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

Author, activist Nellie McClung: is she banknote worthy?
“Refugees have enriched many countries. They would enrich us.”— Nellie McClung.
Bravo, Merna Foster! The Victoria author and historian’s online crusade to have great Canadian
women honoured on Canadian bank-notes has finally paid off after she col-lected 73,000 signatures over three years.
Last week, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that a Canadian woman as yet unannounced (perhaps as yet unselected) “will be featured on the first of the new series of bills expected in 2018”.
The battle isn’t over, however. There have been many great Canadian women in our history and we have just seven banknotes to work with. To date, they’ve carried the images of Queen Elizabeth, former prime ministers (all of them male, of course), and various stereotypical Canadian scenes such as a fishboat, an icebreaker, and the like.
For a time, 2004-2012, the $50 bill bore the profiles of the Famous Five — Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney and Nellie McClung — and the head-and-shoulders portrait of Quebec female rights activist Therese Casgrain who was the only one that was recognizable.
Ms. Forster also thinks that it’s import-ant that women be recognized on the front, not the back, of bills.
As for possible women candidates for our currency, scores of names have been
submitted via www.womenonbanknotes.ca, Foster’s website. Among them, as I told you several weeks ago, is Canada’s first aircraft designer Elsie MacGill and, my own hope, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey, born in Cobble Hill.
Three other names with strong B.C. connections are the province’s foremost artist, Emily Carr, First Nations poet E. Pauline Johnson and (also Ontario-born) author and activist Nellie McClung. I’ve admired Nellie’s voluminous writings since reading Clearing In the West, one of 16 books that she wrote. And, many years ago on CBC, I heard a reading of her description of a single woman applying for a bank loan in the 1940s; it’s funny, it’s priceless and things probably haven’t changed much all these years later.
Her name is being championed by the leader of the Manitoba Conservative Party, Brian Pallister, who has written to the governor of the Bank of Canada, 100 years after Manitoba became the first Canadian province (on Jan. 28, 1916)
to grant women the right to vote. (Not until April 5, 1917 did B.C. pass similar legislation.) Pallister is quoted as saying that McClung should be on Canadian currency in recognition of her role in the enfranchisement of women, as a female pioneer and as a “democratic icon” whose image would remind Canadians that everyone has a place in democracy.
The Times-Colonist concurs, rating McClung “an ideal candidate to be the first woman other than the Queen to be on a Canadian banknote...”
I probably should explain here that McClung was one of the Famous Five, named previously, who won a landmark court ruling that finally and legally rec-ognized women as “persons.” The fact that she spent the latter years of her life living in Saanich gives us a proprietary interest in her nomination.
For some time now the T-C has been republishing a series of columns McClung wrote for the Victoria Daily Times in 1939 and into the 1940s. They’re insightful, articulate and her humanism shows through, as in her recent column, originally published in March 1939, on Canada’s attitude towards emigrants and refugees. At a time when Germany’s anti-Semitic policies were becoming world-known and the Canadian govern-
ment had turned back a shipload of Jew-ish refugees to imprisonment and ultim-ate murder, McClung presented a case for acceptance of refugees. She did so not just on humanistic grounds, but because Canada, which had been largely settled and forged by immigrants from Europe and elsewhere, would gain valuable cit-izens: “Refugees have enriched many countries. They would enrich us.”
But there was more to this than just the tangible, she wrote: “Whether they enrich us or not materially, one thing is certain: If we refuse them, we will be impoverished in our hearts.”
But, alas, Nellie McClung’s sympathy had its limits and this character trait could well disqualify her from considera-tion for individual status on a Canadian banknote. We do, after all, live in a pol-itically correct age and Nellie’s belief in eugenics, a doctrine that has become infamous for its promotion, among other things, of the sterilization of those deemed to be “mental defectives,” has earned for her deserved criticism and censure.
In short, Nellie McClung was less than perfect. And we can’t have that now, can we?

The Cowichan Valley Capitals season ended in the blink of an eye last Saturday.
Seventy-two seconds into over-time in game six of the Caps’ first-round B.C. Hockey League series with Powell River, Kings forward Kyle Betts took a swipe at the puck and knocked it past goaltender Storm Phaneuf, giv-ing the Kings a 3-2 win that night and a 4-2 win in the series.
It wasn’t how head coach Bob Beatty pictured the season ending.
“It seemed a bit surreal at the time,” Beatty recalled earlier this week. “It was a bitter pill to take. The season ends every year, but you’re never prepared for it to end that way.
“It’s tough to swallow because I thought we probably deserved a little bit better. In game six we didn’t bury pucks, but I thought we were carrying the play. It’s just my opinion, but I think we did have some opportunities to win the game and just didn’t hit the back of the net.”
The Caps lost the first two games of the series in Powell River, then split the two games in Duncan. After stealing a vic-tory in Powell River in game five, Beatty believed his team was building momentum.
“I felt that if we could take it back to Powell River, we had more gas left in the tank than they did,” he said.
Playoff success is the ultimate goal, but could the coach take some solace in the fact that the Caps made the playoffs for the first time in four years?
“I guess so,” he said. “You’ve got to look at it in terms of pro-gression. We put a pretty good product on the ice this year. There were times during the season that we didn’t have con-sistency, but I don’t think we disappointed in the playoffs. There was a strong effort from
all the guys in those six games.”The Caps went all-in this sea-
son, with five 20-year-olds on the roster — Phaneuf, captain Adam Osczevski, forwards Josh Adkins and Pat Geary, and swingman Jacob Switzer — as well as three 19-year-olds who are committed to colleges for 2016/17: forwards Ryan Burton, Corey Hoffman and blueliner Mitch Meek.
Of the 10 other 19-year-olds — forwards Kade Kehoe, Matt Hudie, Ayden MacDonald and Luke Santerno, defencemen Chris Harpur, Connor Russell, Josh Owings, Carter Cochrane and Ben Verrall, and goalie Lane Michasiw — at least four will have to go in order to get the team under the limit of six 20-year-olds next year.
“We were definitely an older team,” Beatty agreed. “We need-ed to put as good a product on the ice as we could, to be honest.
We had missed the playoffs three years in a row, and we needed to regenerate some enthusiasm. If we get past Powell River and into the semis against Nanaimo, we gain some momentum as a team and as an entity in the community.”
Although the roster will look different in 2016/17 Beatty feels the club will carry some momen-tum into next season regardless.
“People who have called me and talked to me about the team think we have a real good nucle-us,” Beatty said. “To be honest, we have a much better resource base than we had before. There are certainly some good players who should translate into some younger players with trades.”
The Capitals brass don’t have long to wait before they can start building next year’s team. The team’s spring identification camp is set for April 15-17.

Cowichan Secondary School field hockey goaltender Robin Fleming, who backstopped the Thunderbirds to the provin-cial championship last fall, has been named to the U21 women’s national team, and will represent Canada at the Junior Women’s Pan American Championships in Trinidad and Tobago in late March and early April, which will serve as a qualifier for the Junior Women’s World Cup.
Fleming was summoned from the national Junior Develop-ment Squad when one of the other U21 goalies was called up to the senior national team, and will join Cowichan Secondary teammate Sara Goodman on the U21 team.
“It’s pretty amazing. I didn’t believe it at first,” Fleming said.
One of the younger players on the team, Fleming expects to serve as a backup in Trinidad, but sees this as a good oppor-tunity for her growth as a player.
“I’ll probably be watching most of the games, but I’ll probably get some playing time,” she said. “For me, it’s more of an experi-ence trip because I’ve never done anything like that before.”
This will be Fleming’s first time with a national team, although she has played on provincial teams the last two years in addi-tion to her success at the high school level. She has trained with a few of the players on the U21 team, but she admitted she will be more comfortable trav-elling with Goodman, a relative veteran of the U21 program with a tournament in the U.S. and a tour of Chile on her resume.
“I’m happy Sara’s going as well,” Fleming said. “It will be nice to have someone else from the Cowichan Valley there.”
The trip to the Caribbean nation is almost as exciting for Fleming as representing her country on the field hockey pitch.
“I haven’t really travelled very much,” she said. “So it will be neat to go somewhere that has a completely different climate from here.”
Fleming admitted she is deal-ing with some nerves as she prepares for the trip, but is still looking forward to it.
“I’m definitely really nervous for it,” she said. “I’m just happy to go out and learn a lot and play the best I can. I think it will be a good experience.”

Five athletes from the Cowichan Valley helped B.C. teams win the inaugural girls and boys Canadian rugby sevens U18 championships at BC Place last Saturday.
The girls team included McKenna Haz and Denise Roy, both students at Brentwood Col-lege School, while the boys team included Kyle Joe of Cowichan Secondary School, William McDougall-Percillier of Brentwood College, and Evan Norris of Shawnigan Lake School. Joe and McDougall-Percillier are also members of the Cowichan Rugby Football Club.
The B.C. girls allowed only one try in the tournament, and won the championship game over Alberta by a score of 17-0. The boys beat Ontario 17-5 in their championship match.
While the players warmed up for their games, the Canadian senior men’s sevens side was tak-ing on Wales, and the B.C. athletes got to see Pat Kay, a Duncan native and product of both the CRFC and Cowichan Secondary School, and a graduate of the BC Rugby Elite Youth 7s program, score Canada’s first sevens try on Canadian soil.
All the Valley players who represented B.C. at the national championships in Vancouver were also at the Las Vegas Sevens — the lar-gest rugby tournament in North America — a week earlier, where B.C. captured four cup championships.
Haz and Roy helped B.C. to the title in the U18 Girls Varsity Division in the first year that B.C has fielded a girls sevens team. Roy scored one of her team’s three tries in a 19-7 win over the Atavus All-Stars, a team of athletes from across the U.S., in the final match.
“It’s an incredible accomplishment for a prov-incial program to beat a team drawn from an entire country,” Haz said.
Joe and Norris were part of the B.C. team that won the U18 Elite Boys Division for the second consecutive year, and former CRFC junior play-er Kara Galbraith helped B.C.’s U23 team to a first-ever title in the Women’s Open Division.
Avi Sharabi of Brentwood and Maggie Banks of Shawnigan went to Vegas as part of the B.C. team that competed in the U18 Girls Open Div-ision. McDougall-Percillier and his Brentwood teammate Lucas Portillo and Shawnigan’s Conor Sinclair played for B.C. in the U17 Boys High School Open Division.
Shawnigan’s Reece Tudor-Jones, James Mac-Donald and Carter Miller, and Brentwood’s Ciaran Breen played for B.C. in the U16 Boys Junior Varsity Division. Brentwood grad Aaron Hersant played for the U23 provincial team in the Men’s Aces Division.

The Duncan Dynamics Gymnas-tics Club proved it can contend on the world stage when it sent 16 athletes to their first inter-national competition in Las Vegas in January.
Leading the way were Level 9 gymnasts Darby McIntyre and Micaylla Broadway, who finished second and third all-around in their division at the Lady Luck Invitational, which attracts 2,300 gymnasts from the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
McIntyre placed first in vault, seventh on uneven bars, third on beam and eighth on floor, while Broadway was 10th on vault, second on bars, seventh on beam and fourth on floor. Another Level 9 competitor, Hayley Baker, finished third on vault.
In Level 8, Keerstin Arden placed 10th on vault, fourth on floor and 19th all-around.
In Level 7, Brooklyn Stobbe finished fourth on beam, sixth on floor and seventh all-around, while Tahara Brown was 10th on vault and ninth on bars.
Trystinna Bailey placed seventh on beam, third on floor and 10th all around in Level 6. Rebeca Bail-
ey was sixth on beam and 10th on floor, Cheyenne Mackeil finished eighth on bars and 10th on beam, Anna Akhurst placed seventh on both beam and floor, Sadie Man-ley was ninth on floor, and Jenna Laughland finished eighth on beam.
In Level 4, Kaia Cools was 10th on vault and Avaling David was 12th on floor.
The Level 3 team won the fourth place trophy, thanks to Amelia Cannon’s eighth on bars, Mia Fahey’s 10th on beam, and Weilee David’s 12th on bars.
“This trip was a huge learning experience for all of the athletes and the latest step in the develop-ment of the local club which plans to implement an annual trip to a meet in the U.S.,” club spokesperson Karyne Bailey said. “Exposure to the newly adopted U.S. Junior Olympic program at a U.S. meet was a valuable experi-ence for the girls and the coaches.”
The gymnasts and their parents did extensive fundraising in order to attend the Vegas meet, and are planning to do the same again for next year. A generous donation from James Street Billiards went a long way in helping the club go to Vegas.

Cowichan Secondary School’s girls rugby teams compiled some impressive results in the short time between the beginning of the season and spring break.
“With a young squad of over 40 players, the coaches are very pleased to come out of the first week of competition with five wins out of seven games while playing against very strong programs,” coach Brad Skene said. “A number of players are stepping up to play at the senior level while 23 players put on the T-Bird Jersey for the first time.”
The juniors started with back-to-back wins on Feb. 26. Melanie Robertson, Jezlyn Cardinal and Mia Eager scored tries in a 15-0 win over Port Alberni. Cardinal, Maxine O’Leary and Madi Jumeau scored in a 19-5 win over G.P. Vanier, with Lucy Boon adding two conversions.
The seniors split their two games that same day, beating Alberni 20-5 before losing 32-10 to Vanier. Brigitte Reid scored twice against Alber-ni, while Emily Nickerson and Karly Longridge had one try apiece. Emily Lindsay and Sophia Murray had tries against Vanier.
On March 2, the juniors lost 22-7 to Vanier, while the seniors beat Mark Isfeld 22-10, both games played in cold, wet conditions.
Brianna Margerison scored the Thunderbirds’ lone try against Vanier, and Boon slotted a con-version. The team got two tries from Syan John-son, one each from Marlee Wright and Jamie Needham, and a conversion from Maddie Pirie.
The juniors were in action again on March 4, getting past Port Alberni 34-31. Jenna Batty and Lauren Rivera each scored two tries, Sophie Saunders and Danielle Hill had one each, and Needham kicked two conversions.
On March 9, the juniors beat Carihi 60-5. Car-dinal, Needham, Lindsay Winship and Mia Eagar each scored twice, Zoe Sharp and Deanna Cvitanovich had one try apiece, and Needham kicked five conversions.

The Cowichan Secondary School Thunderbirds won their last two games of the season last week to finish on a high note at the provincial AAAA boys basketball championships in Langley.
After losses in their first two games, the T-Birds regrouped to beat North Peace 75-69 in the third round, then top Terry Fox 67-50 in the game for 13th place.
“On the whole, we played some of our best ball of the year over the course of the provincial tournament,” head coach Lucky Walia said. “Dif-ferent opponents played differ-ent styles, and our guys rolled with it. We had different play-ers playing more in some situ-ations, and they responded well in a challenging environment.”
The T-Birds led North Peace essentially for the entire game, and were up by as much as 18 points. Noah Charles scored 26 points, Humza Khan added 13, and Eston Unrau had 12 to go with 10 assists. Travis McDon-ald grabbed 10 rebounds.
Again against Terry Fox, the T-Birds were on top from start to finish, and went up by as much as 27 in the second half.
“Terry Fox had been a top-10 team for most of the year,” Walia noted. “It was a nice way to wrap up our season.”
Charles led the team with 27 points, while Nirmal Hayer hit five three-pointers on his way to 17 points. Hayer was so elec-trifying that the Terry Fox fans started to cheer him on.
Other players had strong outings that didn’t necessarily translate to statistics.
“Andy Derocher, as he always does, worked really hard switching between guarding
bigger players and then fly-ing around chasing guards off screens,” Walia said. “Humza Khan played one of his best games of the season, control-ling the pace and getting the ball to people in good positions to score.”
The T-Birds opened the tour-nament with a 90-83 loss to W.J. Mouat, although they had been within four points with a minute and a half left to play. Charles led the way with 28 points and 21 rebounds, Unrau had 22 points, seven assists and six rebounds, and Zach Waddington was all over the scoresheet with five points, eight boards, three assists, two blocks and two steals.
“We played well,” Walia said. “W.J. Mouat was one point basket away from being in the tournament final.”
The T-Birds again made things interesting in their second game of the tourna-
ment, holding the lead for nearly 17 minutes and get-ting within five points in the fourth quarter before settling for an 81-65 loss to Sir Winston Churchill, the second-ranked team in B.C. all season.
Unrau finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and Charles had 19 points and nine boards.
Walia was impressed with the two players who led his team in scoring for most of the season.
“Noah averaged 25 points for the tournament, on top of multiple 30-plus-point games in league play and playoffs,” the coach noted. “He really stepped his game up as we hit the most crucial part of our season. Eston demonstrated he could compete and impact a game with the best in the province, going for basically 20, seven and seven in our first two games against two of the five best teams in B.C.”

Cowichan LMG will make a bid to reach the Jackson Cup final for the sixth time in seven years when the team faces Saanich Fusion in the semifinal this weekend.
The rematch of last year’s final, which Cowichan won, will take place this Saturday at Tyndall Park, beginning at 7 p.m.
Cowichan coach Glen Martin feels his team is as ready as it can be for
the showdown with Saanich.“We’ll be prepared,” he said.
“We’ve had really good training sessions. It’s going to come down to the team that works the hardest.”
Cowichan has held the edge over Saanich in league games this sea-son. Martin’s team defeated Saan-ich 5-0 in Ladysmith last November, and the teams played to a 1-1 draw at Tyndall in the season finale. Martin expects another tight one this Saturday, although this time it won’t end in a tie.
“Night games at Tyndall Park are really close games,” he said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNOTICE is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held to consider a proposed amendment to a restrictive covenant associated with Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3338 (Inwood Creek Estates).
DATE Tuesday, March 22, 2016 TIME 7:00 pmPLACE Sahtlam Fire Hall, 4384 Cowichan Lake Road, Duncan, BC
Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3338 rezoned Blocks A and B, Section 1, Range 6, Seymour District and Section 10, Range 8, Sahtlam District, as shown outlined with a black line and identified as “Subject Area” on the map below, from Primary Forestry (F-1) to Rural Residential/Forestry Conservation (RF-50/50). The zoning change allowed the subject area to be developed for 41 residential lots. Covenant FB389713 was associated with Bylaw No. 3338 in that it secured commitments for park and conservation land dedication and improvements to those lands. Among other things, Covenant FB389713 required that fencing be constructed along park boundaries as a condition of subdivision.
Fencing was constructed with the first phase of the subdivision, but the developer has requested that fencing not be required for the second phase, and that the park boundary be marked with signage instead. The CVRD Board has directed that a public hearing be held so that the public can be informed of the request and given an opportunity to comment before it is considered.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Two Cowichan Valley football players are attending Senior Bowl events this week, culmin-ating on Saturday with the big game featuring the best graduating players in the province.
Justin Young, who played on Cowichan’s offen-sive and defensive lines in the 2015 season, and quarterback Bremen Conville are both taking part in the week-long camp.
“Justin was solid for us on D-line and had to play double duty at O-line,” said Opie Williams, who coached the midget Timbermen last fall. “Braemon was great and stepped up to the QB position [from receiver] for us this year.”
Young and Conville will also be representing the Timbermen at Star Bowl next month, along with seven of their Cowichan teammates.
Joining them at Star Bowl will be:Tyler Hudson — “This is Tyler’s second year
at Star Bowl team,” Williams noted. “Having Tyler out for five games hurt and having him back for the final game against Victoria was huge.”
Kain Melchior — “This is also Kain’s second year to be going to Star Bowl. Kain played run-ning back and receiver for us and made a key impact in games.”
Garion Ferguson — “It is great to have Gari-on going this year. He was our other lock on the defensive back position this year.”
James Dennis-Orr — “James really stepped up as a leader on the offensive line this year.”
Jake Borserio — “Jake made a big difference to our running game to the games he was in.”
Wyatt Faickney — “Wyatt struggled at receiver but we moved him to D-line where he excelled.”
Derion Hughes — “Derion was a great addition to our DB core this year, making some big plays.”
An honourable mention is Mitch Hinton, who was named to the Star Bowl team, but will miss it due to a shoulder injury suffered last fall.
Many of the Star Bowl and Senior Bowl play-ers were also award-winners for the Timbermen last fall, including Melchior (MVP), Hudson (Best Offensive Lineman), Borserio (Best Offensive Back), Young (Best Defensive Lineman), Hin-ton (Best Linebacker), Ferguson (Best Defensive Back), and Dennis-Orr (Most Inspirational).
Other award winners for the fall season were Mitchell Gudgeon (Best Receiver), Amish Dobson (Special Teams), Lucas Grosse (Rookie) and Brad Staedel (Most Sportsmanlike).
Timbermen send two to Senior Bowl and nine to Star Bowl

Dad and Mom farmed in Essa and Adjala Township growing potatoes, raspberries and having many cattle on both farms. They moved to Vancouver Island in 1972 where Mom renewed her nursing career at Cowichan District Hospital, nursing on surgical and paediatrics. They were always busy with the many grandchildren in their lives, enjoying all of the new babies arriving. Mom was in her own home until she was 94 with help from Cowichan Home Support and family. She loved to travel to parts of BC and to ON to visit family. She loved country music and was thrilled to meet Merle Haggard and Johnny Reid and have her picture taken with them. Mom loved her flowers and thrift store shopping and made many friends. Left to have many memories of Mom are 28 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. Two more grandchildren are arriving in August and October. Thanks Mom and Granny for a beautiful legacy.The family would like to thank Dr. Grimes and Dr. Ibrahim for their kindness toward Mom; also the wonderful staff at Chemainus Health Care.

Betty passed away peacefully at Victoria Hospice aft er a lengthy (and determined!) battle with cancer.Betty was born in Spalding, Sask, the third daughter to Gwen and Arthur Masters. Th ough born into depression years, they enjoyed a happy family life and all the activities of a small prairie town. In 1944, having endured enough prairie winters, her family moved to the coast and settled in Duncan, where Betty complet-ed her last two years of high school. Aft er training in Victoria, Betty and sister Joan went back to Duncan to teach at Duncan Elementary in 1947.In 1954, Betty, then married, moved to Victoria and began teach-ing at Frank Hobbs Elementary in Cadboro Bay. And thus began an over sixty year relationship with the Cadboro Bay community. Ten years later, then divorced, she married Hector Alexander, a widower with two children, Lesley and Mark, both of whom had been her students at Frank Hobbs. Betty was grateful for her ready made family. Later came grandson Alex, a happy addition!Following Hector’s death in 1999, Betty kept busy with her life at St Georges, where she had joined the choir in 1954. She was also a long time member of Uplands Golf Club, having joined in 1954 (this was obviously a pivotal year in Betty’s life!) and was Ladies Captain in 1975. She loved the game and the special friends she made at Uplands.In 2007, Betty married David Crabbe, a long time friend who was widowed. Th is added to her family with Deborah, Pat, their spouses and children Ruby and Daniel. Betty was predeceased by David in 2011 and her sister Joan Guthrie in 2014.She is remembered by family Mark Alexander (Deb), Lesley Anderson (Dave), Deborah Carriere (Gilles), Pat Crabbe (Lil), and their children Alex, Daniel, Ruby, Allison, Erik, Tristin and Baylie, her sister Mary Owens and nephew and niece Ross & Janine Guthrie. Betty will also be remembered by her family at St George’s and many, many friends. Betty was such a wonderful person…we are all the poorer for her passing, but so much richer for having had her in our lives.Betty’s family is grateful for the excellent care and compassion she received over these past 10 years. Dr Irvin Pathak and his receptionist Dawn, always available and supportive, Dr Jamie Kaukinen and staff , the BC Cancer Clinic, the whole medical team at RJH 7 South and the VIHA Royal Oak Health Care Unit – Home & Community Care…with special thanks to nurses Stephanie and Shelley who made her home health care such a treat. In addition, we cannot adequately express our appreciation to Victoria Hospice. Every member of this amazing team pro-vided compassionate, loving care. We especially thank Dr Gail, nurses Susan, Madeleine, Shirley and counsellor Michelle for their empathy and guidance through Betty’s fi nal journey. A celebration of her life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 19th, 2016 at St. George’s Anglican Church, 3909 St. George’s Lane, Victoria, BC. In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to Victoria Hospice or Canada Cancer Society – Cancer Research.

God saw you getting tiredAnd a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around youAnd whispered ‘Come with Me.’
With tearful eyesWe watched you sufferAnd saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearlyWe could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beatingHard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to proveHe only takes the best.
It’s lonesome here without youWe miss you more each dayLife doesn’t seem the sameSince you’ve gone away.
When days are sad and lonelyAnd everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper‘Cheer up and carry on.’
Each time we see your pictureYou seem to smile and say
‘Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keepingWe’ll meet again someday.’
