Five schools axed in big district shuffl eCLOSURES: Koksilah, Somenos, A.B. Greenwell and École Mill Bay shutting down; adult ed, French immersion moving
LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
Hundreds of Cowichan Valley students will find themselves in new surroundings in September as Trustee Mike McKay closed five school buildings Wednesday, May 15.
Closing are Somenos Rural Trad-itional School, A.B. Greenwell Elementary School, Koksilah Ele-mentary School and Cobble Hill Elementary School as an English language facility.
But the Cobble Hill building won’t close: École Mill Bay will move into it, vacating its current location while Cobble Hill moves into George Bonner.
The old Charles Hoey School building in Duncan, which has been housing adult education programs, will also close but the programs themselves will be relocated.
Yount School at Youbou, which was re-opened when A.B. Green-well was closed due to the discov-
ery of a mould problem, will re-close as well.
The big crowd gathered at the Cowichan Secondary School gym to hear McKay’s decisions listened quietly; McKay had asked them to be “respectful” of the people sit-ting near them.
Schools superintendent Joe Rhodes, who disclosed the actual recommendations, said, “I’ve been through school closures before but never a situation as complex as we have in the Cowichan Valley.”
He sympathized with those who were upset.
“When I view the situation with my heart, I struggle; place is important to people,” he said, but added that he has seen repeatedly that “the relationship between teacher and students is not dependent on building structures.
“We want to preserve that rela-tionship to the greatest extent possible and allow that relation-ship to grow.”
Every eye is fixed on the speakers as an anxious but largely silent audience tries to unravel the complicated restructuring of the Cowichan Valley school district announced at the May 15 school board meeting, which was held in the Cowichan Secondary School gymnasium to accommodate the huge turnout. School closures, programs shifting location and emphasis, and busing fees were among the major changes explained at the session.[LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
A chimney blaze appeared to have extended into the rafters of a Hall Road home on Wednesday night, transforming into a struc-ture fire.
Firefighters arrived at the scene just after 9 p.m. to see smoke pour-ing out of the attic and rafters. They had to cut through the metal roof to get at the flames, which they managed to extinguish in relatively short order.
South End fire chief Rob Mac-
Dowell said his crews were on the scene at the blaze for about an hour and a half, putting out the fire and doing overhaul.
While chimney fires aren’tuncommon, they usually remain contained to chimneys and are put out before they can spread.
“An overheated chimney canignite the surrounding material,” MacDowell noted.
Local assistant fire commis-sioner Rob Clark would be inves-tigating the cause on Thursday,MacDowell added.
Hewco leaving Duncan RCMP postSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
One of the Cowichan Valley’s biggest champions of safety and security is moving away.
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment commander Insp. Kevin Hewco has been promoted and, in a few months’ time, will become Superintendent Hewco, the officer in charge of the Pen-ticton South Okanagan Similka-meen Regional Detachment.
Hewco stood before North Cowichan council with his final first quarter report for 2013 on Wednesday.
Not too much is different from the last quarterly report, he told council, and the same priorities from last quarter will continue into the next one, albeit with dif-ferent initiatives.
“The jewel” of their annual poli-cing priorities, the detachment’s prolific offenders program, will continue.
“We’ve had some success with that,” Hewco noted.
Traffic safety, police visibility and communications — espe-cially with respect to foot and bike patrols in Chemainus and Crofton — and the BarWatch program will also continue.
“Rather than reinvent the wheel we’re going to move on with those same ones and we’re going to expand on those,” Hewco
explained.Police are also keeping an eye
on property and drug related crime, though the statistics appear worse than the actuality, Hewco said.
“Nothing really leapt out at us or caused significant alarm but when you see per cent changes of 100 per cent or 150 when we’re bearing in mind such small num-bers, I don’t read much into that,” he said.
The biggest change from the last quarter into the next will be Hewco’s departure, however.
“I, as you know, now have been transferred and promoted with-in the RCMP. I’m quite proud of that,” he said.
He will leave at some point over the summer.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time in the Valley, in particular North Cowichan. Your senior staff are probably the most devoted group I’ve ever seen.”
But Hewco will return one day.“On a personal note I’m not sell-
ing my house, I’m coming back to retire here,” he said.
Both Hewco and Mayor Jon Lefebure called the news bittersweet.
“I want to congratulate you on your promotion,” Lefebure said. “You’re an incredibly skilled manager and we really appreci-ate that. We will miss you. Glad
to have you come back in some form.”
Protective services committee chair Coun. Al Siebring thanked Hewco for his years of work.
“Thank you, Kevin for all that you’ve done and that you’ve brought to the table here. The thing that has struck me…under your tenure and your leadership is the way you have engaged com-munity and built morale among the staff at that detachment,” Siebring said.
“That’s a skill, sir, and that’s something you’ll take with you to Penticton. I hope your successor can continue. You’ve just done a tremendous job.”
Introduced to North Cowichan Mayor and council in early Feb-ruary 2008, the then-Staff Sgt. Hewco was on his way to being promoted to Inspector. He headed up the Canada Avenue detach-ment for five years, after serving a stint in Oceanside.
“One of the things I most admire is your calm, strong wis-dom,” Coun. Kate Marsh said. “They’re lucky to get you up there. I wish we had a choice in you being un-chosen but con-gratulations on your well-earned promotion.”
Staff Sgt. Jack McNeill will be the go-to man in the event Hewco leaves before his replacement is named.

Steve Housser thanks his hard-working volunteers after election-watch at his campaign headquarters May 14. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]
LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
Steve Housser, Cowichan Valley standard bearer for the BC Liber-als, endured a roller-coaster ride as he and his volunteers gathered at his campaign office to watch the election returns.
A bright red campaign scarf around his neck, he was an ener-getic cheerleader all night long, happily receiving notices from workers of good poll numbers and boosting spirits when his own numbers sagged a little by point-ing out how well party candidates were doing elsewhere.
The volunteers were in a mood to celebrate, crying “Thank God for Mr. Davis” referring to Green candidate Kerry Davis’s strong showing, howling, “they’re all experts in hindsight” as they watched TV pundits shocked into backpedaling as they tried to ana-lyze the amazing Liberal results, and culminating in a chant of “Wave goodbye, Mr. Dix” when the NDP leader made his conces-sion speech.
Housser himself held off from actually conceding because the race was so tight and instead sim-ply thanked his workers for their extreme efforts on his behalf.
In a quiet moment afterwards, he said those volunteers were probably the strength of his campaign.
“We were not a big team but dedi-cated to getting out and about as much as we could. I just wish we could have gotten out and about a bit more,” he said.
Housser was an interested
observer to the Green party surge on the Island.
“Congratulations to Kerry and the Greens. They had a strong showing in the Cowichan Valley and certainly Oak Bay-Gordon Head was a tremendous break-through for the Greens. But I also think they’re tapping into something we all have to pay more attention to and that’s the environment.
“In the Cowichan Valley, beauti-ful agricultural place that it is, some of those sustainable values really resonate here. I think it is coming that people are more aware of environmental concerns and the potential dangers to our planet if we don’t change.”
He himself stepped up over the
dirty dirt situation in Shawnigan Lake.
“That was a slam dunk because who in their right mind wouldsupport a contaminated wastedump in their watershed? That isjust wrong.”
Housser said he wasn’t surprisedthat Premier Christy Clark led her team to victory.
“Christy is an extraordinary woman. She is the reason that I ran. I met her at a policy conven-tion at Whistler and thought: thatwoman is a dynamo, hard work-ing and energetic, a fighter and a campaigner. I always figured in a campaign she would eat Dix for breakfast and it’s too bad they didn’t have more debates. In the one on one that could have been,he would have been wiped off themap.”
He also said that keeping the economy first and foremost in any discussion paid off.
“I don’t mean to say it was a simple campaign but it was a very clear message and that wasthat we can’t risk going into end-less debt and deficit. I think thatresonates.”
So, looking forward, is the Cowi-chan Valley likely to see him again?
“Of course, I might even seeyou tomorrow,” he quipped. “But I know what you mean and although it’s too early to say if Imight run again, I hope so. I am buoyed up by what happened. Ireally enjoyed the process and the profile and talking about issues and talking with people,” Housserconcluded.

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
NDP incumbent MLA Bill Routley has retained his seat in the legislature, win-ning the 40th provincial election in a race far closer than even the most experi-enced pundit would ever have predicted.
“I’m humbled by the results that I see because it means we’ve got to work even harder to convince people that we’re on the right track,” he said on elec-tion night. “When you see the substantial number of votes including the growing percentage for the Greens, we have to listen to that. We certainly take that into account when we’re debat-ing issues in Victoria.”
Routley was the first person ever elected in the Cowichan Valley riding, which was first contested in 2009, after an electoral district shakeup the year before. Routley retains that seat, despite the NDP being unable to snag control of the legislature from the Liberals.
“I don’t want you to feel sad and defeated,” he told his supporters. “I watched in stunned silence myself for a while.”
Routley said he believed the pundits and pollsters in the days leading up to the election. He expected a different result and was floored when things didn’t work out that way.
He didn’t need a pollster
to tell him he’s got fans though. His wife and grand-daughter at his side, he thanked many of his sup-porters by name on election night.
“I want to thank all of you. This is a victory for this team and the people in this room. Especially when you look at the results tonight, I would not be where I am without all of you.”
Like in 2009, this year a Liberal was runner-up. The Green Party’s Kerry Davis, BC Conservative Damir Wallener and Independent Heather A. Campbell also ran.
Routley said a Liberal majority is “a green light for more industrialization and more pipelines.”
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Doug Routley expressed mixed emotions as he was re-elected to represent in the Nanaimo-North Cowi-chan riding in Tuesday’s election, while his NDP was defeated by the Liber-al Party on the provincial level.
“I’m very, very happy to be re-elected,” he said after winning for the third time. “But I’m very, very disappointed we won’t be forming a government.”
With all 136 polling sta-tions reporting, Routley finished with 9,297 votes, or 45.4 per cent. In second place was Liberal Amanda Jacobson with 6,462 votes (31.56 per cent).
The NDP, said Routley, had tried to avoid attack-ing the other parties lead-ing up to the vote, which he hoped would lead to better results. “I’m mostly dis-appointed because this was an experiment in running a campaign positively, and that didn’t work,” he said.
“People were scared by a campaign that was free of facts and free of truth. I feel that people have been scared away from a future that could have been very different,” he said.
Routley vowed that the NDP would continue to fight for under-represented groups, mentioning sen-iors, forest workers and the environment.
“We will work together
with the stakeholders,” he said. “We will stand with the First Nations com-munities along the threat-ened route of the pipeline, and with the people on the coast. This is our province. That doesn’t change.”
Jacobson, a first-time can-didate, was thrilled both to have made an impact in the riding and with the results across the province.
“This is unreal,” she said.“I’m so happy. It has been amazing.”
The Green Party’s MayoMcDonough got 13.4 per cent of the vote, while John Sherry of the Con-servative Party got 6.63 per cent. Independents Murray McNab (2.73 per cent) and P. Anna Paddon(0.28 per cent) rounded out the field.

Why fi ght not to label if it’s all good?
In response to the “Other Views” in the May 1, 2013 paper regarding GMOs.
They forgot to mention the Roundup Ready laced corn. Here are the nutritional facts.
And I wonder why a lot more people are getting sick?
Eat poison, get sick. Take them off GMO foods they
get better. Fact.Why does Monsanto and the
president eat from an organic garden? Why don’t they want us to know and are fighting so hard to keep it from being labeled if it is so good for us?

Island needs to be its own province
Another provincial election is over, and once again, a centre-right electorate on the Mainland has chosen a sympathetic gov-ernment to attend to its needs, while a left-leaning population on the Island has voted itself back into opposition where we’ll continue to be ignored. It should be obvious by now the Island has nothing in common with the Mainland.
Ergo, I have to wonder if there is anything other than political inertia that keeps us locked into this subservient attachment to a province that has no regard for our welfare.
There is the recent example
of Cowichan’s education board of trustees who were fired by the B.C. education minister for non-compliance with the endless rounds of budget cuts imposed on Vancouver Island while the rest of the provincial govern-ment has poured mega-dollars into projects on the Mainland. And who can forget the time VIHA messed around with our nursing homes without any consultation.
Vancouver Island has no effi-cient transportation links to the rest of the province, just some slow ferries. In fact, after decades of neglect, we don’t even have a decent highway linking our communities on the Island, just a hypersignalized intercity arterial that forces us to waste fuel sit-
ting at stoplights and polluting the air with idling engines. The Island needs an efficient passen-ger and freight rail system that could allow us to put our high-way out of its misery or at least significantly empty it of traffic.
Island hydro service isn’t any better. Our utility can no longer keep its poles vertical or its wires horizontal anytime an organized weather system rolls in from the Pacific. So our frequency of power blackouts has escalated from about one every two years to at least three every year over the past two decades.
BC Hydro pleads poverty when-ever the suggestion is made to bury its key power lines. They prefer to pour billions into “smart meters” that might make
the blackouts easier to find, but won’t contribute to prevention, a concept in which our power util-ity no longer believes.
If we can’t follow the example of Prince Edward Island and become our own province to escape all this provincial mis-management, then some other form of home rule needs to be set up within B.C. so we on the Island can be greater masters of our own house.

Numerous changes announced Wednesday night will change the face
of education in the Cowichan Valley.
The mood at the meeting wasn’t as angry as we thought it might be, but there will be, deservedly, some mourning, as the schools being closed all offered something unique to the district.
Koksilah was renowned for its First Nations programs designed specifically for its overwhelm-ingly First Nations population.
We hope these special and valu-able programs can be taken with
the student body to their new school, where even more pupils can now be exposed to the rich cultural offerings.
Somenos drew folks interested in the rural traditional program at the school. The school uni-forms and back-to-basics phil-osophy were cherished by the families there. It will be missed by those who found it valuable to their kids.
École Mill Bay housed the south Valley’s French immer-sion program, and while they’ve lived in and loved their building, the program itself will live on at another school.
The A.B. Greenwell building itself has been closed for some time after toxic mould was found there. The students have since been using the formerly closed Youbou school. A reconfigura-tion that sees the kids head back into Lake Cowichan may, in fact, be welcomed by some parents.
It’s tough to say goodbye to these schools. We should take a few minutes to remember what they have brought to our communities.
But we can only hope that this will finally put the school district into a financial position where painful cuts don’t have to be
considered year after year, where parents and students don’t have approach each budget period with the threat of the sword hanging over their heads.
The district has been stagger-ing about on the quicksand of ever-decreasing enrollment in a system where enrollment deter-mines funding for years, in spite of the best efforts of conscien-tious boards of trustees.
It has been clear for a while now that something had to change — and with the re-elec-tion of the Liberals into power, no new provincial money will be coming.
The very fact that there is no money provided by the province for busing rather proves that such policies are thought up and made in urban centres with little thought given to the more rural areas they will also effect.
In cities there are inexpensive public transportation options. Not so outside the city. Busing is a necessity in a rural school district, and the province should really step up and accept this reality, and the responsibility it puts upon them.
Forcing busing fees upon rural districts is basically an addition-al tax on us.

Private forest heavily regulated
Re: Roger Wiles’ May 10 letter in the CitizenAs a small private forest owner and member
of the Private Forest Landowners Association, a group committed to responsible stewardship of B.C.’s private forest land, we work hard to balance the protection of the natural environment with the needs of our local workers, families, commun-ities, and businesses. I’m confident your readers appreciate balanced coverage, so in the interest of addressing the statements in Mr. Wiles’ May 10 let-ter in the Citizen, here are a few key facts:
• The level of regulation and restrictions on the management of private forest land is increasing, not decreasing. The 2003 Private Managed Forest Land Act built on, expanded, and enhanced the environmental protection provisions of the 2000 Private Land Forest Practices Regulation.
• There is strong and effective government oversight of forest management practices on the private forest lands in the Cowichan Valley, and it is certainly not left up to the owners. Private man-aged forest land is governed by over 30 acts and regulations involving multiple federal, provincial and local government agencies.
• Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Private Man-aged Forest Land Council all have oversight in the protection of water quality and fish habitat, and enforce the law as well as dealing with any valid public complaints related to the protection of streams and water quality.
• Almost 90 per cent of B.C.’s private managed forest lands are subject to third-party sustainable forest management certification. These lands and operations are audited annually to ensure that environmental values are protected.
• Successive studies consistently demonstrate that B.C.’s private managed forest lands are responsibly managed and generate multiple local public benefits, not least large quantities of clean drinking water. Similar studies have also found that water quality problems occur downstream where there are residential areas, farms, golf courses and failing septic systems.
Perhaps the focus should be on downstream impacts before the finger is pointed at the forest?
Rod Bealing Executive Director Private Forest Landowners Association
How can our system continue?
How can our representative democratic form of government continue in the face of the growing corporate influence over our government? Corporate influence is reflected in the corporate biased trade agreements, continuing income tax cuts to the rich individuals/corporations, and the resulting “austerity”.
A fundamental weakness of our form of representative government is party discipline, where our elected representa-tive has to subordinate their constituents’ interests to party policies, which are
heavily influenced by corporate interests and the bottom line. This is embedded in the Federal Election Act which states the party leader must sign a candidate’s election papers. Our elected representa-tive must follow party direction or face the consequences. We can look forward to continuing income tax cuts to the rich and stringent austerity measures to avoid deficits due to those cuts. When and how can this trend be stopped and reversed before social instability results?

Opinion Cowichan Valley Citizen | Friday, May 17, 2013 9
Rivers need to be put back under the Navigable Waters Act On April 22, Earth Day, I
rose in the House to intro-duce a motion to reinsert
the Cowichan River into the Nav-igable Waters Protection Act.
Like most of Canada’s other lakes and rivers, the Conserva-tive Budget Implementation Act, C-45, removed the Cowichan River from protection.
As I said in the House: “Over the last several years, we have had a crisis on the Cowichan River as the waters dropped dangerously low and the very health of the salmon stocks was in question. In fact, sometimes volunteers were actually moving salmon up the river in buckets to help them to the spawning
grounds.”While at first the
health of salmon stocks doesn’t seem to have anything to do with navigation, alterations to a river can greatly affect the quality of the habitat.
One aspect of the Navigable Waters Pro-tection Act was to trig-ger an environmental assessment of any structure or alteration of a waterway to ensure there was no environ-mental damage.
This is separate from the pro-tection offered under the Fish-eries Act which doesn’t consider
future damage — like the effects of climate change on a river level or the alteration of gravel distribution after a flooding event.
Of course, we want to protect the Cowichan River for the use of humans as well. I even quoted from the Cowi-chan Valley Regional District which states:
“We protect watersheds so we can continue to access clean water for drinking and recrea-tional use, as well as maintain the natural balance of water to avoid floods and droughts.“
I also took the opportunity on
Earth Day to celebrate other work happening in our area to protect water. Here is the edited text of that speech in the House:
“Mr. Speaker, on Earth Day, it is important to talk about clean, safe and sustainable water. The UN declared 2013 the UN Inter-national Year of Water Cooper-ation to raise awareness about sustainability and the challenges of water management because of the increase in demand for access, allocation and services.
This campaign is juxtaposed with the Conservative’s Bill C-45 and the elimination of most of Canada’s lakes and rivers from the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
I would also like to give thanks to my constituents, who are fighting to prevent the dumping of contaminated soil in a local quarry in the Shawnigan Lake watershed.
Local aquifers and watersheds significantly impact the local wildlife, health and economy, and a potential contamination could be disastrous.
We understand the importance of protecting our local water sources and the ecological bal-ance for future generations. Happy Earth Day.”

COMMUNITY REPORT
They wouldn’t dump it in their backyard
The proposal to transport contaminated soils and residue from the Capital Region District, and dump it at the top of the Shawni-gan Lake watershed is the most ridiculous idea I’ve come across in my life.
Why should toxic residue be driven all the way up the Malahat (dangerous in itself) to Shawnigan? Shawnigan Lake is not the dumping ground for other communities’ waste material; our water source will be damaged, if not destroyed.
If it’s too dangerous to dump in their own locale, why is it accept-able to dump it in ours? Other locations have been offered up, and rejected.
Why is the provincial
government even con-sidering this when so many, (including industry experts, other MLAs, the opposition, and most importantly, those who live here and will be impacted) are opposed.
I don’t believe assurances there will no repercus-sions for our lake, our chil-dren, our water, our soils, our wildlife and ourselves. Would this be allowed near the Sooke Lake reservoir, which supplies Victoria with water?
Of course not! Once the contaminants are in our watershed, they can’t be removed. Pandora’s box will be open forever.
On the road close to where they plan to dump these toxins, there is a sign which says, “Welcome to Shawnigan Lake ... Protect our Ground Water”. SIA and the provincial govern-ment are absolutely dis-
regarding area residents, and are being completely disrespectful to us and our future generations!
This dump won’t be located in the back yards of those making the deci-sions, they don’t live here and they don’t care.
They might be in power now, who knows what will happen after the next election.
They have nothing to lose; we have everything to lose, and we need to respond accordingly.
We absolutely have to stop this. We will not allow this to happen.
There are many examples of such projects going very wrong! There are always workarounds and safer options. Let’s work together to find them.

“We’ve been trying to tell people that the environ-mental standards just aren’t there,” he noted.
They must have listened, to some extent, though, as the Green Party earned more votes than in years past.
“People have the right to vote however they feel and if they supported the Greens then great, that’s how they feel and people should vote for who they think they would like to see representing them in Victoria,” Routley said.
That being noted, the second-term MLA wasn’t pleased with the approach taken by the Liberals to reach their end.
“It’s surprising to me to see that a message that’s really been negative won the day. That’s why I’m shocked and actually a bit saddened,” he said. “It’s not the kind of B.C. that I thought we lived in, where the American-style attack ad can win out.”
On the fly on election night, Routley changed the theme of his speech from “Hope for Change” to “Now We’ve Gotta Work on Change for the Better, One Step at a Time that’s for sure.”
And while humbled to be re-elected in such a tight race, Routley knows the hard work is really just beginning.

Greens vow to keep momentum upSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Bronze ain’t bad if you’re Green.Cowichan Valley Green Party candi-
date Kerry Davis was a solid third with 4,662 votes — nearly 19 per cent after Tuesday night’s provincial general election.
While he didn’t win, he was pleased with the progress the party is making.
“We got 50 per cent more votes for me than the Green Party did in the Cowi-chan Valley in 2009,” he noted.
But election night was not at all what Davis was anticipating.
“It was rather shocking overall,” he said with a chuckle. “I was pretty confi-dent that Andrew Weaver would get in and I was hopeful that there would be other Green MLAs, however it was not to be.”
Davis said Weaver’s victory has got a foot in the door and gives hope for future Green success.
“We’re really happy that Andrew Weaver got a seat, the first Green MLA
in Canada,” Davis said. In the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head,
Weaver’s 9,602 votes was enough for 40 per cent of the 23,953 ballots cast. He ousted high profile Liberal incumbent Ida Chong, whose 7,124 votes earned her just shy of 30 per cent of the votes.
Nanaimo-North Cowichan Green candidate Mayo McDonough was also thrilled Weaver won.
“Andrew is super; he’s the fellow that talked me into running. I feel really good that he’s getting in,” McDonough said.
The morning after the election McDonough, who also ended up third in the riding with 3,043 (13 per cent) of the votes, was, too, positive and hopeful for the future.
“On the whole I feel at least good that we had a good showing for our efforts,” she said, noting it was a very short time to get onto the radars of busy people.
Both Cowichan Green candidates hint-ed they might be willing to run again.
Davis said he’s been asked “from all kinds of people” if he’ll run again.
“We’ll see how things go,” he said. “Weran a good, positive campaign and had a lot of wonderful volunteers that workedreally hard. My hat is off to all of them,we couldn’t have done it without them. I especially want to thank my wife and family for their support.”
McDonough said a Green Party weak-ness is that they tend to let up between elections. That won’t happen this time around.
“We vowed that we’re going to starttoday to look at 2017. We’re going to try to keep it up. That’s what all the other parties that have any strength do.”
McDonough knows the votes of newly eligible voters will play a large roll in the 2017 election. She hopes to get the Greenmessage to them in the meantime.
“The student election that was held,they had eight Greens with an NDP majority. They’re going to be votingnext time. That’s going to be really interesting. They’re really seeing their environment.”
But for now, McDonough said, fear won the day.
“We’ve had a number of years of realeconomic uncertainty,” McDonough said. “People are just not sure where the jobs are coming from and what’sgoing to happen. I think it’s more of a fear-based decision. Like, ‘if we try something new it could really fail,’ not ‘What we’re doing now is sort of failing.’That worry to try something new is still there.”
Kerry Davis has not ruled out a return in 2017. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

The loudest response from the crowd who came out Wednes-day night to hear about changes planned for the Cowichan Valley School District was reserved for district secretary-treasurer Bob Harper.
He quietly told the audience in the Cowichan Secondary gym that, as of this fall, the plan was to bring in busing charges.
“Bus fees for all riders starting in September at the rate of $200 a year [or $20 a month] for each student each year,” he said.
Comments like “Wow!” arose from a general murmur through the hall.
Harper went on.“Reduced rates will be available
for multiple children in one fam-ily. The rate for the second would be $120, for the third $80 and there would be no charge for the fourth and subsequent children,” he said, adding “certainly we would be waiving fees in cases of financial hardship.”
The problem for the district, Trustee Mike McKay explained, is that the province does not supply money for busing.
Busing programs that started years ago have been revamped province-wide with many districts bringing in fees to help pay for these expensive services, he said.
“But we heard from you that to
eliminate busing would create huge hardships. The purpose of the transportation levy is to miti-gate some of those costs,” McKay said.
Asked after the meeting how they’d reached the $200 figure, McKay said, “We checked the other districts. This is what they are charging for busing. It’s what works. This is much less expen-sive than what the private schools charge in various places. In pub-lic schools, Saanich was a parallel district. This is what they charge. They get a high rate of participa-tion. It’s not insignificant: $20 a month for a child, but with gas prices so high, we’ll have people saying: yes, please.”

For the third time in the last five years, thieves have swiped hanging flower baskets from a number of Cowichan Bay businesses.
It especially hurts this time, as the village prepares for Sunday’s Spot Prawn Festival.
“We have our biggest event of the year on the weekend,” said Bruce Stewart, who owns True Grain Bread.
“It’s frustrating when some-thing like this happens.”
True Grain had seven baskets stolen. Their neigbours, Tanger-ine Dream Gallery and Studio had four or five taken, while Mor-ning Mist Ice Cream, The Mud Room Clay Works, and Hilary’s Cheese were also reportedly hit.
Having been robbed of their baskets before, business owners had taken extra precautions, but the thieves came prepared.
“We had wired them on to try to stop people, so they would have had to have tools,” said Stewart.
Stewart estimated that his baskets alone were worth about $700. He expects the thieves will re-sell the baskets rather than using them at their own homes.
“You’d have to have a pretty big house to hang all the baskets they stole,” he commented.
Stewart hadn’t decided if he would replace the baskets, but was leaning towards doing so.
“It’s one of those things, those intangible expenses to a busi-ness,” he said. “You want to do your part to make the commun-ity more inviting.”
Thieves steal fl ower baskets from Cowichan Bay shops
Thursday morning collision snarls traffi c through Mill Bay
Traffic through Mill Bay was held up slightly on Thursday morning following a four-vehicle crash on the Trans Canada High-way that left one person with ser-ious injuries.
The collision occurred shortly after 8 a.m. at the intersection of the highway and Frayne Road.
One person sustained serious injuries and was taken by med-evac helicopter to Victoria General Hospital, according to Shawnigan Lake RCMP. At least two ambu-lances were on the scene as well.
Northbound lanes remained open throughout the incident, but one southbound lane was closed to traffic for a span of between 45 and 90 minutes. The cause of the crash remains under investiga-tion, police stated.

District making massive shiftsLEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley School District will now take part in a game of musical chairs in a sweeping shift of programs and facilities announced May 15 to an expectant house at Cowichan Secondary School.
The reaction from the crowd was muted Wednesday compared to that of previous “school closure” meetings that have seen demonstra-tions and angry recrimina-tions, ending with shouts and floods of tears.
T r u s t e e M i ke M c K ay approved a wide range of changes as he and his staff restructured most of the dis-trict into line with the model already in place in Chemain-us and Crofton, although Chemainus Secondary School will now have a focus on the performing arts.
Middle schools are out. From now on, students will attend elementary schools to Grade 7 and then move straight into secondary school at Grade 8.
The one exception is at Lake Cowichan where Palsson will become a K-Grade 4 school with some Grade 4s accom-modated at the re-named Lake Cowichan School (LCS) which will house Grades 4-7 in a special wing and Grades 8-12 in the main body of the former high school. Parents will be able to choose wheth-er they want their Grade 4 kids in an elementary school or at LCS.
After the meeting, Lake Cowichan Mayor Ross For-rest, who attended the ses-sion said it was time to move on now that the decisions had been announced.
However, he also reported that McKay and officials had sat down with Lake Cowi-chan council to talk about the school situation in the Valley’s western region.
“They told us they really wanted to see our kids stay at the Lake. It will be great that they can now get the courses they need there,” For-rest said.
In a surprise move to many in the crowd, George Bonner Middle School will become an elementary school as the district tries to attract and keep the burgeoning south end population from send-ing students to Victoria. And Cobble Hill students will go there, joining those students now in Grade 6 at Bonner.
McKay said that he and his staff got a strong message from south end people that they did not want to see just French immersion students going into that school and took that into considera-tion when making changes there.
Frances Kelsey Second-ary School, long celebrated for its self-directed learn-ing program, will keep that emphasis but with a slightly new direction, according to McKay, who said that the school “is not a school of choice any longer, it’s a com-munity school” as Grade 8s move in.
In the central zone, Kok-silah Elementary’s students are expected to be accom-modated at Alexander and Khowhemun Elementary Schools while those from Somenos Rural Traditional School will go to Tansor Elementary.
Khowhemun will feature an
aboriginal education focus and Tansor will emphasize social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
Big changes are also com-ing for Duncan Elementary School whose French immer-sion program will now shift to École Mt. Prevost.
The principal, Pedro Men-gual, said after the meeting, “It’s exciting. I am really look-ing forward to the opportun-ities at our new school.”
Both French and English track students from Mt. Prevost will be moved to Cowichan Secondary, which becomes a two-campus school in combination with the cur-rent site housing Quamichan Middle School.
These changes will free up space for Cowichan Second-ary students to use Mt. Prev-ost gym for a climbing acad-emy while also allowing them to take advantage of the fine arts facilities at Quamichan.
Grade 8-9 students from both middle schools will like-ly be accommodated mainly at Quamichan although the situation could be adjusted later, said Schools Super-intendent Joe Rhodes.
Koksilah’s building will not be closed but will become the Koksilah Trades Train-ing Centre with emphasis on trades training opportunities
with post-secondary institu-tions, First Nations and other organizations.
Adult, middle alternate and distance learning will relocate to Duncan Elementary.
Not only schools are getting the axe, though.
One school district admin-istrative job is being cut and the district will prepare a business plan to relocate the board office complex entirely, freeing up the Beverly Street location for sale, Rhodes said, adding that there is interest in the area already with the RCMP looking at a site near there.
Finally, McKay said, now that the district, in what he called “self-help mode” has restructured and cut back its facilities, a better case can be made in Victoria for capital funding for a new school for Lake Cowichan and a replace-ment for Cowichan Second-ary School.
Once the new provincial government is in place, McKay and his top staffers intend to visit the new Edu-cation Minister to make their case, he said, before opening a question period in which a few speakers asked about specifics.
Adjourning the session, the trustee got a round of applause and after the meeting, the trustee praised the crowd for respectfully listening.
“This was a really emotion-al and intense and import-ant meeting and people were amazing. I was so impressed,” McKay said. “They are pas-sionate about education and a lot of people appeared to understand that we have to do something. It was really heartening. This is an import-ant place and we have to get a framework and a foundation from which to build.”
Now, it’s time for school populations to prepare for their new life.
“The principals are all abso-lutely ready and willing and excited about open houses, coffee tours and all the things they want to do to welcome their communities,” he said.
Trustee Mike McKay said he was impressed with the crowd who came to hear about the decisions on schools. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Saltspring Island’s Byron brothers soldier on
JACK KNOX TIMES COLONIST
His shrapnel wounds healed, Terry Byron was in Aldershot, England, waiting to be posted back to the front when news of the German surrender broke.
The sergeants’ mess went dry pretty quickly after that. “What they didn’t drink, they threw at each other,” he recalls.
So Byron sought out Big Nan, a strapping Scottish woman with access to the officers’ mess. “She said ‘I pilfered this bottle of whisky from the officers’ sup-ply, so you, me and these two girls are going to havea snort.” With that, they drained the bottle.
That was VE Day, 68 years ago today.Not many old soldiers remain from that day in 1945.
Byron, 91, is one of them. He lives by himself on his farm at the north end of Saltspring Island, raising ponies and beef cattle. (He had chickens until hisdog died, after which the raccoons came in and wiped them all out.)
Living alone on his own nearby farm is brother KenByron, 92. Ken, like Terry, was a sergeant wounded while leading his platoon in the Second World War.Tough old buzzards.
They were among a big Saltspring contingent, teens who had been in the island’s Canadian Scot-tish unit, who volunteered to go overseas in 1939. “When the war broke out, all us guys who had been in the militia joined up,” Terry says.
He doesn’t waste a lot of time remembering the bad bits. “It was a tough go, but you try to forget the tough stuff and remember the funny things, the good people you meet.”

THE ONE AND ONLY
Living Cowichan Valley Citizen | Friday, May 17, 2013 15
Some stories still crack him up, like the time Wing Hay, a CanScot and noted boxer from Port Alberni, saw some chickens running loose.
He figured that where there were hens, there would be fresh eggs to eat, so he went looking in a barn. Alas, instead of eggs he found a dozen or so Ger-man soldiers. “All these buggers stood up and put their hands up.” The sin-gle-handed capture made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
Terry’s fighting days ended in Belgium on Oct. 13, 1944. “I was leading the platoon on the Leopold Can-al. Most of us got across. It was midnight, eh? When I thought it was appropriate, I stood up and a goddamned German grenade landed right in front of me.”
He didn’t take the full blast, just enough to rip apart his left knee. Trapped between the Germans and the canal, he crawled along until he found himself look-ing down a couple of gun barrels. “ ‘Who are you?’ they asked. I said ‘Canad-ian Scottish.’” They were Royal Winnipeg Rifles, who
got him to a stretcher-boat.Brother Ken had already
been twice wounded by then. The first came on D-Day.
“Mortar bombs started to
drop,” he recalled a while ago. “I dove into a tank trap. My mortar man dropped right in front of me, dead.
Instead of eggs in the barn there were German soldiersFrom page 14

He got a piece of shrapnel in his temple. I got a piece in my cheek, cut the artery.”
Ken led his platoon inland (their officer had been blown up the moment his landing craft dropped its ramp on Juno Beach) before being evacuated to England.
Back in France that August, try-ing to extricate the platoon from a heavy artillery attack in Tour-ville, Ken was hit again, shrapnel ripping into his right side, tearing
the flesh from his hipbone.What remains etched in his
memory from that summer is the road to Falaise — heat, burning tanks, smashed carts, the stench of rotting German corpses, every-thing bulldozed to the side to clear a path for the Canadians march-ing through foot-high dust. “Stink, flies, dysentery, the whole bit,” he recalled last week.
Ken was in the thick of things right up until the end, fighting in Germany in May 1945 when a motorcycle dispatch rider arrived.
“The message said ‘Ceasefire as of 0800 hours.’ “ All firearms to be unloaded, all gun barrels dropped. “I phone headquarters and said ‘Is this for real?’”
Much to his chagrin, Ken, who would rather have ushered in the end with his friends, was sent to Britain and was crossing the English Channel when V-E Day arrived.
By the time he landed in Lon-don, it had erupted in joy. “What a hot spot that was,” he says. “The present Queen and her sister were
roaming around the crowd in civil-ian clothes.”
Imagine that, from full-on com-bat to sudden celebration.
And then it was time for all these young guys, still in their early 20s, to shed six years of war and come home.
Again, not many of them survive today. Victoria lost a couple more in the past couple of weeks, men whose stories appeared in this space not long ago.
Doug Laurie survived 1944’s sinking of HMCS Athabaskan, in
which 128 of his crewmates died,only to spend the next year in a PoW camp; he died April 19 at age94.
Earl Taylor, an RCAF air gun-ner who survived the camps afterbeing shot down over Berlin in 1943, died April 30 at 93.
The Byron boys soldier on. The last of the shrapnel in
Terry’s knee was removed six years ago. Ken still has shrapnelin his head.
Today, 68 years after VE Day,they’re still tough guys.

Duncan’s second Catholic Church is now a funeral homeFor all of Father Peter
Rondeault’s success in converting the
Cowichans to his version of Christianity, it wasn’t until the turn of the last century that there were sufficient Catholics among
the white community to warrant a church of their own.
In 1902, in pre-Duncan Alderlea, Archbishop Orth purchased two adjoining lots on Government Street, about where the Tiffany
Apartments stand, and even then in the midst of a commercial/light indus-trial area.
The first St. Edward’s, named for the patron saint Edward the Confes-sor, King of England, was
remembered by a longtime parishioner as a “long, narrow building”. Father Aloysius Stern was the first pastor until 1903 when the Montfort fathers assumed the administra-tion of Catholics in the Cowichan Valley. A choir gallery was added in 1912.
As the congregation grew, the need for a larger church prompted plans for a second St. Edward’s. This church, on two lots acquired from the historic W.C. Duncan property, at the corner of Brae Road (then gazetted but not developed) and Coronation (then Relingferg) Street, is another example of the collaboration between architect Douglas James and contractor Oscar C. Brown, who was also a member of the church choir. (According to a Church source, James was helped in planning St. Edward’s by Father P. Jan-sen who commissioned the project.) Duncan’s future construction triumvirate was made complete when Claude Green, then part-nered with J.E. Saunders, who successfully bid $220, which included all materi-als, to paint the church inside and out.
It’s interesting to note
that Father H. Lemmons didn’t accept the lowest bid, J.M. Camp-bell’s quotation of $6,571 having been $374 less than Brown’s bid of $6,945.
In October 1927, with con-struction under way, the Cowichan Leader described the 36x75-foot structure as being “quite an imposing edifice, attractive in appearance both inside and out. The nave is to be (46) feet by (36) feet, while the sanctu-ary, vestry and priests’ room [there were two rooms to serve as living quarters once the church had a resident priest] will occupy an additional space about (30) feet by (21) feet. Arched wood trusses will span the nave while the walls throughout will be finished inside with plaster.
“Over the entrance porch and running the full width of the building for a dis-tance of (10) feet, a gallery will be constructed. All window and door heads will be circular, with cement trim outside, in imitation of stone. These, with the centre spire, (60)
feet high, and the general contour of the main building, a high portion with two side aisles, will give a fine general appearance. [The heights of the spire and cross were
later amended to 64 feet and four feet six inches respectively.]
“The exterior is to be rough cast and the win-dows of cathedral glass. Barrett’s prepared slate-surfaced patent shingles are specified for the roof. The whole building is on a cement foundation, with a basement at the rear. In it will be a battery of two hot air furnaces with which it will be possible to provide heat economically wheth-er the weather is mild or severe.”
This St. Edward’s was blessed by Bishop O’Donnell, Jan. 15, 1928, four months to the day after Brown set to work. With its tall spire “sur-mounted by a cross and standing on the eminence on which the founder of the city built his

residence,” it was said to be “one of the most striking architectural features of Duncan when viewed from a distance, such as from the hospital hill.
“Closer inspection shows that that site was wisely selected. As one emerges from the front entrance there is presented a beautiful view over part of the town, while immediately in front the eye travels across Somenos Lake to wooded slopes and Mount Richards.”
Three months after its preliminary report of how the church, then in the first quarter of construction, was beginning to shape up, the Leader provided a glow-ing description of the finished product which, with its “Romanesque” appear-ance, stuccoed exterior and cement trim meant to imitate stone, had a distinct look of “solidity.” Above the front door, a tablet of Vermont marble bore the inscription, ‘To God, All Good, Almighty, in Honour of St. Edward.’
“Entering the church one is struck by the beauty of the design. The nave has a central and two side aisles, the distance from floor to ceiling being respectively 22 feet and 12 feet... Its acoustic proper-ties have proved to be excellent...” A new altar of white stone and marble, expected in May from France, was to replace the original wooden altar which went to St. Joseph’s Church in Chemainus.
In this account, W.J. Leslie, Duncan, is acknowledged for installing the furnaces, built at Victoria’s Albion Ironworks, and doing the sheet metal work and plumb-ing. W.S. Robinson did the electrical work, George Purver the stuccoing, Victoria’s Stewart Monumental Works created the armorial tablet and lumber was provided
by Hillcrest Lumber. The finishing work, which included “the handsome circular ceiling trusses,” was done by Cowichan Joinery Works. The bells were cast in Vancouver.
Despite the fact it was late-Depression, a 1,000-square-foot hall with basement, din-ing room and kitchen was added in 1937.
This St. Edward’s served until 1967 when its congregation, grown to exceed 400 families, bought 14 acres at Maple Bay and Tzouhalem roads for a parish com-plex. There, the third St. Edward’s was dedicated by Victoria Bishop Remi de Roo in December 1972.
In January 2002, parishioners of St. Edward’s celebrated the centennial of the founding of their first church in Alderlea. The second St. Edward’s is now the home of the First Memorial Funeral Services.

ANDREA RONDEAU AND LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
A TV celebrity is joining the deli-cious shellfish in the spotlight this weekend in Cowichan Bay as the community celebrates the 5th annual Spot Prawn Festival.
Cowichan chef Dan Hudson has talked his fellow competitor on the hit Food Network show Top Chef Canada, Danny Smiles, into coming to the festival with him Sunday, May 19 while Hudson himself showcases his cooking from 4 to 5 p.m.
Fans are already excited after Hudson announced the coup on his Facebook page.
“We talk almost every day. He’s coming for a road trip. He’s flying into Vancouver Sunday morning and says he’s coming along to do a bit with me.”
“Danny English” has kept in touch with Smiles since the com-pletion of filming.
“I’m doing a spot prawn broch-ette with a lemon grass stick to skewer them. I’ll be serving them with an apple raita. It’s yogurt based and instead of cucumbers I’m going to use apple and a bit of mint, something nice and fresh to balance the prawns.”
Asked if he still has people com-ing in to chat about his time on Top Chef Canada, Hudson said, “yes, I had some people in from Alberta today, believe it or not. And as luck would have it, I had some gazpacho like I did from the
show so I was able to serve it to them,” he said.
The Spot Prawn Festival all begins with a fundraising gala and auction Saturday, May 18 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Oceanfront Suites.
Salmon advocate Alexandra Morton is the featured speaker, and she will discuss and update gala-goers on the touring docu-mentary Salmon Confidential.
At 9 p.m. a live auction begins, featuring getaways to Haida House at tllal and Jamie’s Rainforest Inn,
along with a print on canvas by Tofino artist Mark Hobson.
On Sunday things kick into high gear with chef demonstrations, music, live prawn sales, craft and educational displays and more.
Throughout the day (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) a shuttle service will take people from where they can park their cars at Bench School to the Oceanfront Hotel.
Attendees are strongly encour-aged to use the shuttle service, as there is very little parking in the village.
The weekend, celebrate the bounty of the sea with the Spot Prawn Festival in Cowichan Bay. [CITIZEN FILE]

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGOFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 3564
ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 3565Applicable to Electoral Area I – Youbou/Meade Creek
DATE: Monday, May 27, 2013PLACE: Youbou Community Hall (Lower Hall)
8550 Hemlock Street, Youbou BCTIME: 7:00 p.m.
Offi cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3564 proposes to amend Youbou/Meade Creek Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw No. 2650 by adding a new Tourist Recreational Commercial Policy to the Offi cial Community Plan that would permit the occupancy of the Cottages at Marble Bay to occur on a year-round basis. Bylaw No. 3564 would also add new development permit guidelines for the upland portion of the property that is currently undeveloped.
Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3565 proposes to amend Electoral Area I – Youbou/Meade Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 2465 by creating a new zone, the Lakeview Recreational Zone (LR-11), adding defi nitions for building footprint and recreational residence, and amending Schedule A (Zoning Map) to rezone Strata Plan VIS 5772, Block 180, Cowichan Lake District and Remainder of Lot 1, Block 180, Cowichan Lake District, Plan VIP78710 as shown on the map below from C-4 (Tourist Commercial 4 Zone) to Lakeview Recreational 11 Zone.
If approved, OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 3564 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3565 would permit both seasonal and year round residency on the subject properties. Under the existing zoning, the cottages can only be occupied by any one individual or family for up to a maximum of 22 weeks in a calendar year.
A covenant would be in place that would prohibit further subdivision of the remainder of the lands until such a time as the subject properties become part of a CVRD Community Sewer System and a CVRD Community Water System. A covenant would also be in place regarding the establishment of an east-west trail corridor on the upland portion of the property that is undeveloped.
A public hearing was held for the subject amendment bylaws on October 18, 2012. In response to concerns raised at the hearing regarding traffi c and road safety, the applicant has proposed a contribution of $50,000 to be used for future road and intersection improvements or pedestrian safety upgrades. The contribution would be secured by a covenant and would be payable prior to subdivision of the undeveloped land. The CVRD Board has directed that a second public hearing be held so the public can comment on the contribution and the proposed amendment bylaws.
At the public hearing, all persons who deem their interests affected by the proposed amendments will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions on matters contained therein, before representatives of the Regional Board. Prior to the public hearing, written comments on the bylaws may be faxed to 250-746-2621, e-mailed to [email protected], or mailed and/or deposited at the Regional District offi ces up to 4:30 p.m. on the day of the hearing.

I thought that I would miss you so,and never findmy way.
And then I heard the angel say,'They’re with you every day.'
The sun, the wind, themoon, the stars,will forever be around,
remindingme of the love you shared,and the peace you have finally found.

The powerplay was firing on all cylin-ders for the midget A Cowichan Val-ley Thunder last Sunday, making the Nanaimo Timbermen pay for every mistake.
Nanaimo took 76 minutes in penalties to Cowichan’s 11, and the potent Cowi-chan lineup took full advantage as they won 15-3.
“They were really dirty and just not playing within the rules,” said Cowi-chan head coach Lorne Winship.
All five of Cowichan’s first-period
goals were scored with the man advan-tage. Winship wasn’t surprised at his team’s efficiency.
“On the powerplay this year, we are probably about 80 per cent successful,” he said. “We have really good ball move-ment and some really good scorers. If you want to take penalties, we really preach discipline, and that shows on the scoreboard.”
Nanaimo started the season in midget B, but were promoted to the A division after throttling the competition during tiering play.
Eight different players found the back
of the net for Cowichan, led by Braylon Lumb’s four goals and three assists. Captain Tyson Black had a goal and five helpers, Mathieu Jung recorded three of each, and Colin Winship and Taylor Martin had two goals and two assists apiece. Brandon Corby had a goal and two helpers, Chris Branting had a goal and one assist, and Corwin Trent scored once. Mitchell Page finished with three assists.
The midget A Thunder will be in action next Wednesday at Kerry Park Arena when they play host to Juan de Fuca 2.

The Cowichan Valley Allstars finished third in the senior team competition and captain Kristi Rey-nolds earned two individual silver medals at the squad’s last event of the cheerleading season.
The Allstars were in Kelowna on May 4 for the Okanagan Interior Championships, where they wrapped up their second year of competition.
“The senior team had a fabulous performancewith beautiful jumps and powerful tumbling which helped edge the team into a third-place finish,” said coach Rhonda Dale. “Each meet they have improvedimmensely and they are very pleased with their improvement and performance.”
Reynolds made the judges sit up and take notice with her solo performance.
“As she came to the close of her routine she exe-cuted a move, an angel dive, that isn’t seen muchnow a days but is a crowd pleaser,” said Dale. “As she flew through the air with her arms extended and her body five feet in the air the crowd gasped.Kristi managed to grab the silver medal for the firsttime this season and it was a rewarding finish to a season that she worked hard for.”
Reynolds also placed second in the tumblingcompetition.
The Allstars will be holding tryouts for next year’s squads on May 27 at Koksilah Elementary Schoolfrom 6-7:30 p.m. Boys and girls from ages 5-18 are welcome.

After a 1-2 start to the spring football season, the pee wee Cowi-chan Bulldogs climbed over .500 for the first time thanks to a 34-0 win at home over the Saanich Wolverines last Saturday.
The Bulldogs struck early and often, getting their first points on just the third play of the game when Jake Paras ran 45 yards, fol-lowing a big block from lineman Ryan Haywood.
The Cowichan defence worked hard all game, playing a physical brand of football and tackling hard to keep the ball in the hands of the offence, and it didn’t take long for Paras to score his second major.
Neither team moved the ball much in the second quarter, but Damian McCuaig-Jones made a late strike, intercepting a Saan-ich pass and returning it 67 yards after a crushing block from Baily Lamont, and the Bulldogs took a 20-0 edge into halftime.
The Bulldogs played a consistent game, scoring in all four quarters as quarterback Reily Zarate hit paydirt in the third and fullback Lamont took the ball home in the fourth. Rookie Logan Swanson had a strong game on both sides of the ball, and helped spring Lamont for the final major.
Defensive ends Brayden Bel-ton and Garret Deol led the way
with one sack apiece as the D-line shut down the Wolverines, while cornerbacks Alex Van Ryk and Gavin Brockenborough provided great backfield coverage.
“I am very proud of each and every player,” said pee wee coach Trent Jones. “It is that kind of effort that leads teams to championships.”
Playing their first game after their first victory of the season, the pre-atom Bulldogs were unable to continue their win-ning ways, but had a lot to be proud of after their game against
Saanich.“Even though they were not suc-
cessful in defeating the Saanich Wolverines, all the players walked off the field believing they won,” said coach Devon Lawrence.
It became evident to the coach in the first quarter that the running game wasn’t working, so Cowi-chan went to the pass, relying on quarterback Aiden Lawrence.
“We have a decent pass package in our playbook which gave tight-ends Quentin George and Jaxson Jones multiple attempts at get-ting their hands on the ball,” said
the coach.The Cowichan defence also
played well, led by Jones’s mul-tiple tackles at linebacker.
Aiden Lawrence connected with Brock Lamont and Treyton McCuaig-Jones in the second quarter, while the offensive line held back the Saanich defence, thanks to blocking from Eston Canning and Jayden Strzok.
“If it wasn’t for the offensive line doing such a good job we would not have been able to get the ball off,” said Devon Lawrence.
The Bulldogs dominated on defence in the second half. Corner-backs George and Max Vaesen stopped the run on the outside, and defensive coach Ted Harris unleashed the Bulldogs Rush, an all-defence blitz. The offence kept moving and came close to scoring a late touchdown when Jeevan Nijjar nearly caught a long pass from Aiden Lawrence.
The atom Bulldogs also lost despite a fierce battle and big plays from the defence. Nick Young moved to linebacker and Hudson Spencer filled in at end with two sacks and some great containment.
“We had fun with lots of players trying out new positions,” said coach Jeff McDonald. “Despite the loss the atoms continue to improve and we are looking for-ward to an exciting stretch to the playoffs.”

Grantham potted a pair in thewin over Alberni Valley, whileShepherd, Rhys Mazurenko,Gavin Spencer, Parker Teufeland Liam Joe each struck for singles.

Although they finished back in the pack at their annual ball hockey tourna-ment, held last Friday at the Island Sav-ings Centre, the Duncan Christian School Chargers still managed to play spoiler and proved that there isn’t much difference between first and sixth place.
The Chargers placed sixth of seven teams at the 27th annual tournament. Highlights, however, included winning their opener 3-2 over Lions Gate Christian Academy, and a victory over Richmond Christian that had an impact on the eventual championship game.
After a tough loss to eventual champions Langley Christian, the Chargers bounced back to beat Richmond Christian 5-2, keep-ing Richmond out of the final.
Josh Klassen was named to the tourna-ment all-star team, and the Chargers got great goaltending throughout the day from Dawson Killick.

Friday night play in the Cowichan Women’s Football League got off to a rough start last week as one of the two games turned out to be a forfeit.
The Matrix were unable to field a team, so they had to settle for a 25-0 loss to the Roofco Sirens.
The other game, however, turned out to be a barnburner as the Blue Steel Brew beat Moo’s Law 30-20. Roby Clement scored three touchdowns for the Blue Steel, who also got one each from Kara Espeseth and Heidi Padjen. On defence, Jessica Knowles had three interceptions, Kirbee Crisp had two sacks and Mila Main had one sack.
Jamie Olson, Rachel Hastings and Kim Scafe each scored for the Law, with Leanne Closson contributing two converts. Hast-ings also had two sacks, and Scafe and Nikki Flynn had one each, while Pattie Atkinson recorded an interception.
The Blue Steel couldn’t make it two in a row as they lost 18-2 to the Crew on Sunday morning. Filling in at quarterback, Elija Espeseth scored both Blue Steel points by kicking for a rouge, while Knowles had
two interceptions, Main had one, Brittany Stinson had two picks and a sack, and Sam Stinson recorded three sacks. Thevictorious Crew had two touchdowns from Mary-Lou Sullivan and one from JessicaLines-Wikkerink, and a sack from Darbi Atchison.
The Matrix showed on Sunday what they can do when they have a full team, beatingthe AFO Wildfire 33-7. Emily Verbruggenscored twice, and Gloria Locke and Sara Day also scored. Caryn Taylor picked off a pass and ran it back for a touchdown, and also had a convert. Marcie Welcher and Christine Cronin-Switzer also had con-verts, Locke recorded an interception and Sabrina Desrochers had a sack.
The Wildfire got their touchdown fromDieneke Pedersen and a convert from KeriMcKelvie. Ginette Bilina had a sack.
The Moo’s Law earned a 30-20 victory over the Ravens.
Law stats were unavailable, but the Ravens got two touchdowns from Barbie Smith and one from Rikki Wylie, two con-verts from Jamie Russell, an interceptionfrom Dana Thorne and a sack from Kelsey Scholz.

LOVE -40
I had the pleasure of chatting with Shawnigan Lake tennis coach, Stewart Canderlaria recently. He has been at the school for 27 years and has a wealth of information on the school’s tennis program and tennis in general in the Cowichan Valley. Here is a good portion of his comments that he related to me. Promoting a balanced lifestyle is essential to our ethos at Shawnigan. We foster this ideal in all facets of our program so it follows that our athletic options are extensive. Tennis is offered each term to allow both recreational and competitive players, both girls and boys, the opportunity to learn and play this lifelong sport ranked as the fi fth most popular sport in the world.
In the fall term, both recreational and competitive players in grades 11 & 12 may join. The recreational players are taught the basics of the game and compete intramurally. The competi-tive players train with one of Vancouver Island’s top professional coaches, former Davis Cup player, Art Hobbs, and they compete in both ranking and non-ranking tournaments. At the ranking events, all the top players in the province may compete. Our Shawnigan competitors thereby gain invaluable exposure to junior tennis at the highest provincial level possible. Shawnigan Lake School aims to attract students from all over the world who wish to compete at this challenging level.
In order to fufi ll this goal, we provide an extended training period where the most skilled players among the competitive group continue their training during the winter term at the local covered facility. These athletes also participate in a fi tness program or an-other sport for a portion of their athletic commitment, which again enhances a balanced approach. They also continue to compete in both ranking and non-ranking tournaments.
In the fi nal term, tennis is deemed a competi-tive option only, but students in grades 8,9, and 10, both boys and girls, may also join. Both junior and senior competitive squads are formed and the while the junior competition is limited to other independent schools, the senior team competes at the local and regional level throughout the province with the specifi c objective of qualifying for the provincial cham-pionships.
Within the last 15 years, Shawnigan’s tennis team has already won fi ve silver and four bronze medals, making tennis the sport at the School to have earned the most medals at the provincial level. Palmam qui meruit ferat!
- Stewart Candelaria, Head of TennisCompleted just recently was the Franco Biondo Memorial Tennis Tournament.The Franco Biondo Memorial Tennis Tournament fi nished suc-cessfully despite the uncooperative weather. All play on Friday took place at Arbutus Ridge Tennis bubble before a fabulous banquet here at Shawnigan Lake School’s Upper Dining Hall. All
participants from the visiting four schools could not compliment the quality of our food enough. Indeed, a public thank you to our kitchen staff is in order. After a delayed start on Saturday morning, some outdoor play was accomplished at both the SLS and BCS courts, enough to determine that BCS was the winner of the round-robin portion of the draw. They awaited the winner of the two runner-ups, SLS and St. George’s and Crofton House Schools (SGS/CHS). Terry Fox
Secondary from the Fraser Valley fi nished fourth ahead of Frances Kelsey Secondary. Unfortunately, SGS/CHS proved too strong for both SLS in the semi-fi nal and then for BCS in the fi nal. In the end, the best team for this year did win the tournament.
Thank you to all who helped make the revival of this impor-tant memorial a success. Franco dedicated most of his life to encouraging any and all to play tennis for the love of the game. Even though the trophy leaves the island for the fi rst time, Franco would have been proud of the sportsmanship and friendliness shown by all the competitors and for the cooperative spirit shown by all of the coaches. In the June tennis column I will complete the remainder of the superb information Stewart provided me, including a summary of the tennis coaches at Shawnigan Lake School, including the “dean” of tennis in the Cowichan Valley, Art Hobbs.
Some interesting stats on Tennis. In the USA tennis is a 5.57 bil-lion dollar industry. TV coverage is up around 14% in 2012 and TV viewership is also up by the same percentage. I would think with both the Canadian men’s and women’s teams doing so well, that TV coverage and viewership in Canada, would be up substantially as well.
Shawnigan Lake School “Serves Up” a great tennis program!
