Oil slick: Group marches through downtown to state opposition to Northern Gateway project Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

early 200 people marched, chanted and joined hands in unity in Duncan Wednesday afternoon in opposition to a proposed pipeline project that will carry Alberta oil from the tar sands to the B.C. coast. After a massive rally in Victoria Monday (see related story, A5), demonstrations at the community level reached MLA of¿ces throughout the province. The valley gathering began at noon at Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley’s constituency of¿ce on Trunk Road with speeches and songs, and then project protestors marched from there into downtown Duncan and assembled at MP Jean Crowder’s of¿ce on Ingram Street. At Routley’s of¿ce, the demonstrators were very much preaching to the converted. “We’re supportive of what your group is all about,’’ said the NDP’s Routley. “We’re absolutely opposed to what’s happening right now.’’ Routley had some other business to attend to, but otherwise lent an ear to the messages coming from the crowd. “I’m used to being outside myself doing these protests,’’ he said. People from all walks of life, age groups and interest levels were there to express their discontent. “My people are suffering right now from the devastation of all the tar sands,’’ said Vivian Seegers, an Athabasca Chipewyan now living in Vancouver. “It’s so amazing to see the support we have. “We can no longer live in our territories,’’ added Seegers, who called her people ecological refugees. “We live in homelessness and poverty in the urban centres of Canada.’’ “I’ve been standing up for this kind of stuff for over three decades,’’ said valley resident Eileen Nielsen. “We will support First Nations leaders and let them be the ones to guide us. We have a unity

I’ve been praying for it. I’ve been drumming for it. “Go with love, go with respect and go with what the First Nations leaders are asking us. They’re the ones that are going to get us there.’’ Somae Osler carried a placard reading “Defend Our Coast’’ that has become the motto for the campaign. “I don’t do a lot of protests,’’ she said. “I’ve seen what the oil sands have done in Alberta. I worry for our environment out here. If we can change the course of things even a little bit, I believe that can change momentum. “Hopefully we can generate some inspiration,

new ideas of doing things.’’ A demonstrator living on Mudge Island outside of Nanaimo handed out CDs of a protest song called Quit Smokin’ Oil In Yer Hookah by PieAnnie and Squeezebox. Many of the protestors assembling in Duncan had been to Monday’s demonstration in Victoria, calling it an amazing experience and empowering to see the cause gaining momentum. One person likened it to last year’s Occupy movement that spread from city to city. “It was really inspiring to be there,’’ said Dr. Brenda Bernhardt of Lake Cowichan. more on A5

owichan homeowners will pay about $9 next year to get island intercity passenger-rail service back on track, a committee of regional directors unanimously decided Wednesday. That $9 breaks down to $3.12 per $100,000 of assessed property value, so owners of a $300,000 home would chip $9.12 into ¿xing 48 bridges on the decaying E&N line between Courtenay and Victoria. In total, Cowichanians will contribute $488,100 as a one-time grant-in-aid for $3.2 million in bridge renovations by owner, the Island Corridor Foundation. Approval of the valley’s portion is expected by the Cowichan Valley Regional District board on Nov. 14, chairman Rob Hutchins said. He cited economic opportunities, reduced oil use, and saving the corridor for future generations as reasons for Cowichan’s nod. “With peak oil, we know the Graham Bruce: price of gas won’t be going spring start? down. As population and density increases, trains become a very viable means of moving people and goods.” Three other districts voting about the tax request, totalling $2 million, include Nanaimo, Comox, and Alberni. Comox and Alberni have also approved their share in principal, ICF’s Graham Bruce said. The capital regional is being asked for $1.2 million. “I’d like to get the work started by spring,” said Bruce. “Our best chance for passenger service is fall of 2013. We’ve still got the capital and Nanaimo regions to deal with, and negotiating a new train system with Via.” Tax hikes could span ¿ve years. CVRD is targeting its tax hit for 2013 to duck delays and interest charges, staff explained Wednesday. The $3.2 million will join $15 million from provincial and federal coffers to repair tracks and other stuff on the E&N on which passenger service was sidetracked last year due to safety issues. Freight rail still runs slowly on the 225-kilometre line. A return of passenger service would spell long-promised passenger, excursion, and tourist runs between Victoria and Courtenay, plus more freight hauling. A total of about $104 million is ultimately needed to bring the train corridor up to full snuff, ICF brass has said. more on A6

These defects can develop within 28 days after conception so it is important to start taking prenatal supplements about three months before planning to become pregnant. Continue taking them throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.

Cowichan Zombie invasion on its way, evil forces mustering downtown this afternoon

UP FRONT

The undead walk among you. Get ready, because there will be here today. The Community Options Society has partnered with Volunteer Cowichan to create a bigger and better Zombie Walk. There will be a hot dog sale at Beverly Corners Thrifty Foods (check for ﬁngernails), and make-up stations at Community Options So-

ciety, U-Fix-It Bike Works and the Island Savings Centre’s Youth Corner (choices limited to white, red, and sickly greens and greys). Make-up will be applied between 3 and 4 p.m., with zombies gathering at Charles Hoey Park to begin their mass shufﬂe and stagger through the streets of downtown Duncan. People who want to get involved, either

by helping out or participating can contact Community Options Society at 250-7480232, check out the website coscowichan.ca or like the Cowichan Valley Zombie Society Facebook page. This is a youth-centered event, so all agencies involved are working to ensure it is fun and safe for all ages.

Catalyst regrouped and ready for the future? On the rebound: Financial observers weigh in on what a bankruptcy-free Catalyst could mean for Cowichan Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

rofton mill’s recent recovery from creditor protection is good news in the short-term. But a foggy long-range forecast for parent ¿rm Catalyst leaves some of Cowichan’s ¿nancial folks cautious. “The worst of the recession for Catalyst was probably 2007,” said VIU and UVic economics instructor George Sharp. “The best news is they’re looking to hire young people.” The rebounding mill has hired 70 people this year, with another 30 or 40 hirings expected. And employment spells spin-offs to Cowichan’s hungry economy, explained Sharp. “The amount of money they pump into this area in jobs is incredible. When unions do better, businesses around here do better. “By not having high wages, the aggregate demand in the valley will go down and businesses will suffer for that,” said Sharp. “If you want to see a hollow city, go to Port Alberni.” Tough times in mill towns are nothing new to Woody Hayes, a veteran local chartered accountant. But he agreed Catalyst’s current sunny outlook is really good news for the valley. “It’s surprising how important that mill is to our economic community,” Hayes said of North Cowichan’s biggest taxpayer tossing about $3 million a year into municipal coffers. “We’re not totally reliant on (Catalyst), but they make a huge contribution, and we feel better when the mill’s “It supports the not threatened. “Crofton has a big economy of our payroll, which is a region very submajor contributor and provides lots of spin stantially.” to the economy here. That provides comfort to our business community — it supports the economy of our region very substantially.” But global optics are what’s mostly watched by Edward Jones’ Duncan investment-adviser Mike Watkins, a former chamber of commerce president.

Hayes

A repositioned Catalyst and a battle-tested Crofton mill could add up to better times on the Cowichan economic front, analysts say. “I’m a conservative investment adviser. I’d avoid investing in Catalyst,” he said of pulp and paper market volatility. I’d look to diversify my holdings as much as possible, outside an employee share-purchase plan.” Hayes seemed to agree global markets are critical. “Obviously, the market needs to hold for (Catalyst) to progress. “It’s generally positive news at this stage if some fresh money has come in. If the market was that dire, the new money would not have come in.” But Sharp noted “there’s too much money coming to North America, and that’s driving interest rates quite low.” Still, Crofton’s mill will survive, he predicted.

“With companies that big, it’s hard for them to stop production. Places shut down (such as Catalyst’s Elks Falls pulp plant) were likely protected by trade agreements from before. “The international pulp-and-paper market is quite fragmented,” said Sharp. “As other mills shut down, it makes those left more viable.” Hayes explained Crofton’s mill should make the most of its good fortune by labour and management continuing to co-operate. “We’ve dodged a bullet here and there are opportunities for that mill to do well. But they must consider two things: markets, and production levels,” Hayes said. “It’s important we compete at a international level by keeping those production levels as

John McKinley/¿le

high as they possibly can.” Sharp signalled the economic ride, especially in developing countries, won’t be dull. “Catalyst has ¿gures I won’t see for two years. But as the world gets richer, people will buy more stuff and pulp will be part of that — India and China will get richer. India still has the most newspapers in the world,” he said. And Hayes explained bad-management practices — such as destructive rainforest logging, and slave labour — will likely be snuffed by controls in nations such as Brazil and Burma while Canada must rise to compete. “They’ll (third world) pick low-hanging fruit and be in trouble, and that puts us in a more competitive position,” he said.

from A1 Outside, Seegers carried an umbrella reading “Water For Life, Not For Proﬁt’’ and a similar chant went up from the crowd that spread along Trunk Road, as an abundance of passing motorists honked their approval. There were many creative signs, among them reading “Ship Harper Not Dirty Oil,’’ “We Can’t Eat Oil,’’ “Protect Our Land And Water,’’ “No Pipeline, Tankers, Tarsands, F.I.P.A., Bill C45, GMOs, Fascism, Harper, etc.; Deliver Ourselves From Evil,’’ “Tanks No Thanks,’’ “Tell Me Why The Moneytree Is The Only One Preserved’’ and many more. One sign simply said “Enough’’ and depicted a person with the nozzle from a gas pump to his head.

ooking oil overheating on a stove is tabbed as the cause of a blaze that destroyed a residence in Shawnigan Lake’s Burnham Park early last Friday morning, Oct. 19. “It was a double-wide mobile,’’ said Keith Shields, who was just elected Shawnigan Lake Fire Department chief on Oct. 10. “You could pretty well write it off.’’ The ¿re call came in at 2:20 a.m. “When we arrived there, it (Àame) was rolling out the windows in

The department responded with 21 ¿re¿ghters and sent two engines, a rescue truck and two tenders. “As soon as we got there we con¿rmed there was no occupants,’’ said Shields. The residents had departed safely from the mobile and the ¿remen went to work, taking about an hour to get it under control. It took until 5:30 a.m. to completely mop up the blaze. “That was a bit of a stubborn one,’’ said Shields. “It got up into the attic space.’’ With residences so close together

Mural mom offers compensation in order to keep Community creation $500 donation? City councillor not warm to the idea Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

he mother of an artist who painted an illegal mural in Duncan is willing to pay a $500 donation to the arts council, in return for council allowing the artwork to stay. Son Cyrus Genier did not have a city permit for his Community mural that was ordered to be removed through council’s

unanimous vote Oct. 15. “I’m willing to put up the money,” Nicolette Genier said. “Countless people have come forward to help us. “I was leaving it to the Cowichan Green Community to make the of¿cial offer but put it out there on our Facebook page.” But Councillor Sharon Jackson dismissed that unof¿cial offer, likening it to a bribe. “It’s like offering a bribe to the police when they catch you speeding.” “They knowingly broke the law. We don’t reward that behaviour, or it would call into question every bylaw we have.” Jackson said Phoenix owners will get a letter explaining the mural must go.

She didn’t know the exact date the art piece must be gone. Jackson was also unaware what and when ¿nes can be levied for painting a mural without a permit, but pegged the ¿ne at about $100. The mural is on a parking-lot wall between the Phoenix Station Motor Inn — CGC’s new home — and the Duncan Garage building where Genier owns the Community Farm Store. The mural — supported by a 1,200name petition to council — sparked council to accept the Cowichan Valley Arts Council’s draft mural policy, whereby proposed murals will be discussed by a Peter W. Rusland/¿le committee. Duncan residents show their support for an illegal mural ordered removed by council.

Duncan votes yes despite skepticism

Let’s Clear the Air:

70% of woodsmoke is eliminated when you burn dry, seasoned wood

Sahtlam/Glenora CVRD Director Loren Duncan said the revamped line will allow leveraging of more government funds, and see local work done. But he questioned when a fully equipped, inspected line will realistically start. “I see the commuter from Langford in, but not from Nanaimo down at this time. The population up here isn’t that great,” Duncan said. “The amount of work needed from Courtenay to Langford is quite large, and I’m not sure if we can overcome safety issues on that stretch — there’s a whole pile of unknowns. “We really want commuter service but needs up here are different than down in the CRD.” Baby steps, explained Bruce. “This is phase one. Commuter rail would be a totally separate initiative with a different train. This is about intercity passenger service from Victoria to Courtenay, and improving tracks to run on schedule.” A very rough intercity schedule could see earlymorning passenger service start in Nanaimo, reaching Victoria around 7:45 a.m. It would leave Victoria for Courtenay at 8 a.m., arrive at 12:30 p.m., then head back to the capital at 1 p.m., arriving at 5 p.m., then head for Nanaimo at 6 p.m., explained Bruce.

New-look lodge nearing completion Open house: plans unveiled for new mental health facility among island’s biggest

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION th

Please be advised that commencing October 29 2012, the City of Duncan will break ground on the Station Street Intersection Improvement Project. The purpose of this project is to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety, as well as beautify the downtown core. It will involve a complete redesign of this intersection and as such requires removal and replacement of existing sidewalks, curbs, planter, pavement, etc. There will be improved landscape and decorative brick as well as a new pedestrian crosswalk.

Peter W. Rusland

News LEader Pictorial

This project is expected to take 3-4 weeks. The goal is to be complete before the Christmas Season for merchants located downtown. Unfortunately, the impact for traffic, pedestrians, businesses and residents of the area will be - intermittent road delays with possible detouring, noise, and the presence of equipment and machinery. Every effort will be made to ensure that business is not affected and there will be no interruption of water and sanitary services during this project. Your patience and understanding during this project is appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns, please call City of Duncan Public Works Department at 250746-5321.

Security spans fencing, berms, outside staff during key hours, a 24/7 help line, plus a good-neighbour agreement. “This is high-level, specialized service for people whose needs cannot be met in hospital or at a community facility,” she said, likening the lodge to Victoria’s Seven Oaks. Patients could have brain disorders — including schizophrenia — or head injuries. “They’re assessed for this care setting and will be on appropriate medications,” she said. “They’re more of a potential danger to themselves, or potentially subject to harm by those who prey on people like this.”

owichan Lodge’s morph into a mental health-care centre for adults and seniors — and proposed seniors programs — is nearing completion toward its spring opening. Health authority brass, plus Cowichan’s health network members, explained the former seniors residential facility’s $9-million transformation during Thursday’s open house at Duncan’s Travelodge Silver Bridge. Half of the pastoral lodge, wings A and C, will hold 51 mental-health tertiary beds, and 75 respective staff — in possibly the island’s biggest public complex of its kind, explained Vancouver Island Health Authority’s Suzanne Germain. Renovations are on time and on budget after some two years of work, she noted. Funding for and development in the vacant building’s other half — wings B and D — remains in limbo regarding uses proposed by the Cowichan Communities Health Network, and the Cowichan Lodge Redevelopment Committee. “Those uses are basically seniors programs through outpatient seniors’ services, not residential,” Germain

Yes, the Enbridge pipeline does matter to you Oil debate: This is an issue that affects us all

he Northern Gateway pipeline? But that’s way up in Kitimat. True, the western terminus of the line is about 700 kilometres up the coast from the Warm Land. And the pipeline itself snakes more than 1,100 kilometres farther east into Alberta. But if you think that distance means the debate raging about this Enbridge project has little to no impact on Cowichan, you’re wrong. This debate is bigger than what’s going on at the tar sands, along the rugged north coast, or in the vast wilderness in between. Not only is it important to all British Columbians, it is important to all citizens of Planet Earth. What future This debate is about fossil fuel and its do you want role in society. It’s about whether we should be trendsetters in closing the door to leave for on that chapter of human development, your kids? or squeeze whatever economic bene¿ts that are available to us from oil while we still can. The pipeline’s economic bene¿ts to Cowichan are unclear. Certainly, we have our share of citizens who earn their livings in Fort McMurray. Certainly every dollar earned in British Columbia has a chance of being spent in British Columbia. And certainly there is money to be made. The environmental risks to Cowichan are unclear. Certainly we would share a coastline with the tanker traf¿c exiting Kitimat. Certainly any spill up there will have at least an indirect effect down here. And certainly there is a risk of spills. That said, the direct risks and bene¿ts in the Warm Land will be minimal at best. But it’s not about that. It’s about the bene¿ts to B.C. and to the entire world. If you think your kids will be better off with the pipeline, speak up. If not, do the same. This is not really about a pipeline, it’s about a future. What future do you want for your kids?

Seeing both sides of: Manly blockade-busting mission The case against

The case for Former Cowichan MP Jim Manly’s mission was pretty simple: to raise awareness about Israel’s blockade of the Gaza peninsula and deliver supplies to the people there. His ship was bordered far outside its destination, and it’s not clear what happened to the supplies on board. But if media coverage is any indication, he succeeded — local people are more aware than they were before.

Jim Manly was scheduled to be back on the Island after press time last night.

Bigger is not better, in fact, less is best Jay Siska

News Leader Pictorial

want a smaller house. I know that’s not what you hear from many people these days — no, check that from most people — but I do. And if my home wasn’t an investment property, there’d be a ‘For Sale’ sign in the yard right now. I’ve lived in a lot of different places in my life on the south island: shared houses with friends, suites and houses with girlfriends, lived by myself in an entire house, and also alone in 400 square feet, and again in 525 square feet. Right now it’s about 1,800 square feet, by myself. I have rooms I almost never go into, and that I refer to as my cats’ bedrooms. From all that experience, I’ve determined that somewhere between 750 and 900 square feet would be ideal for me.

I’d need a small shop for my tools and building supplies, but we’re talking about houses and living space only here. Your normal family in the market buys what I call ‘a numbers house’ — take the number of children, add a master and a guest room and you have the number of bedrooms in the house. Take that same number and build that many bathrooms into it. An assumption is made by both the builder and the buyer that is what’s normal, and thus required. But people — and families — are out there living in much less and not only making do, but thriving. Books dedicated to tiny houses and annual design-magazine-issues about small spaces are becoming increasingly popular. Certain types of people are embracing a more Spartan lifestyle. The 1911 house I grew up in had only one bathroom. That’s how they used to do it back in the day.

Manly may have succeeded in raising awareness of the blockade, but we doubt that was his only mission. His deeper goal was to sway public opinion in order to create political pressure to have the blockade removed. And in that case, we doubt he made much impact, other than to reinforce what a difﬁcult situation that is and how tough it is for Canadians to resolve.

COWICHAN LEADERS

It doesn’t take a genius to ¿gure out that a small(er) structure is less expensive to build, less expensive to heat, and takes less time out of your day to keep tidy — not to mention the smaller mortgage. And four bathrooms isn’t on anybody’s list of “things I’d like to clean right now.” The rub is that small spaces are intensely personal. With a market that dictates a threeto four-bedroom, four-bath norm, no one’s likely going to build otherwise. So while I’d love to see a south-end, or valley developer propose a subdivision of creatively built small houses each with a footprint that is the furthest thing from sprawling, I’m wishing good luck to myself right now because I know that’s not going to happen any time soon. I heard a most telling comment on the radio the other day from a realtor in regard to a proposed Surrey condo development which

had units as small as 290 square feet: “In other parts of the world, this is normal. Here in Canada we have so much space, so we use it.” Maybe we should be re-thinking that. The market realized the McMansion was done. Now the market’s trying to jam as much cutrate mansion as possible onto a smaller lot. Instead, why not smaller house? Rather than no front yard and no back yard, a yard either front or back. And for the love of all that is holy, a bigger side-yard than next-toeves-touching your neighbour. One of my friends said, “Less is best.” I have to say I agree. Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at jaysiska@hotmail.com.

It’s not about the quality of the art, it’s about breaking the law

Dear editor I must chime in on the mural ¿asco. Since the controversy, I haven’t seen anyone report the mural painter simply broke the law, no matter how beautifully it was accomplished. The subjectivity of art cannot be used as an excuse to break the law. I congratulate council on its decision. The act is comparable to an unauthorized person parking in a handicapped zone. No matter how skillfully it was done, it’s against the law. Personally, I ¿nd the mural unattractive, but that’s irrelevant. There are many aspects about Duncan I ¿nd unattractive and attractive. The fact of the matter is, when the mural was painted without authorization, they broke the law. The perpetrators should appreciate they aren’t being ¿ned, if that’s the case. It seems council has been overly patient in this regard. Those involved in supporting the illegal action are supporting an isolated incident of anarchy, however benign it may appear. I feel critics of the mural creation have been too kind. Subjectivity and emotion have been thrown into the mix when it is irrelevant. The ignorance in this matter is hard to believe. The argument that opponents of the unauthorized mural should reevaluate their opinions of urban art is just a very poor defense and irrelevant opinion of someone who simply broke the law. Let’s just call a spade a spade and move on. I would be disappointed in council if they thought about it in any other way. And to the proponents of the mural, this mini-revolution you instigated to circumvent council and the law is reprehensible. If you feel the law is unjust, go after the law before you break it.

We don’t need a byelection, or this many trustees

Dear editor I think for some reason former school board chairwoman Eden Haythornthwaite seems to be speaking for everyone when not all of the people she seems to be speaking for are on the same page. What a waste of money holding another election when it will be the same people who chose to break the rules and get ¿red running and trying to get their jobs back. Save the dollars on an election and put it toward our kids. And why do we need that many trustees

In my opinion: Financial irresponsibility and greed for tax dollars add up to lack of common sense

The real question is who is to blame for cutbacks in our school

Dear editor With all this talk about what this school board has cost or taken away from the kids, how do you think a balanced budget comes about? As far as saying we could do with less board members and put that money to better use, I agree. But why have a board anyway, as our government seems to have full control of what it can or cannot do? I, for one, voted in school board members who would stand for something. Maybe it’s time to take a look at who is really to blame for all the cutbacks in our schools.

Politicians again have us scratching our heads about the irony

Dear editor Gosh, a fellow can’t even go on holiday withoout the fact checkers also taking a break. Here aare just a few of the news items in the past m month or so that deserve more scrutiny. Duncan mural: The ‘illicit’ mural incident bbeside the Community Farm Store could have bbeen solved using the same astute methods eemployed when a rogue mural was painted in C Chemainus a few years ago. Despite all sorts of rrules and regulations, a self-congratulatory murral was painted on a prominent building. Was it oordered to be removed? No. It ended up getting

an of¿cial plaque and blessing, the lesson being it’s who you know and who you are. That library petition: North Cowichan council reversed itself (again!), exclaiming that it listened to residents when it accepted an 800plus name petition against a library located in Waterwheel Park in Chemainus. It is wonderful that our politicians have ears. Now, if they would only do the same to the 1,400-plus-name petition about saving Echo Heights Forest from development. Those barges: It is truly agonizing to see Mayor Jon Lefebure wringing his hands about federal government inaction on the sinking barges in Chemainus harbour. Perhaps if council had not kowtowed, misty-eyed, to developer’s interests in the ¿rst place, our harbour would not be full of navigational hazards. Remember Cliffs Over Maple Bay anyone? Revitalization: Chemainus is beset again by revitalization plans, harkening back to the early 1980s. Roundabouts are being built and planned, sidewalks and curbs are going in and grand plans for an unfortunately-named Festival Square are being made, all on the taxpayers’ dime. Isn’t it about time that politicians and bureaucrats stepped away from community planning and let the locals decide how their towns look and how their money is spent? Mark Kiemele Chemainus

he subject of water has become one of hypocrisy at its ¿nest. Recently our benevolent members of the CVRD board have turned the problem they created to the public, supposedly to get “our ideas” on what to do. All the meetings in the world are not going to circumvent or hide the fact that this board has not done its job protecting our resources. For years our elected representatives have known of toxic dumping in this valley, known of provincial governments charging fees and allowing toxic materials to be sent here, and that it could contaminate our water supply. Our elected boards have pushed building and industrialization even when they knew we did not have the water to supply new building starts and more population. Now why do you suppose they did this? It all has to do with their continued overspending and not regulating the costs of running this area. Common sense tells us, just like in running our own homes that if you cannot afford it you do not buy it. Increasing population and industrialization is not the answer. It is a problem, one of many the regional board ignores. Every year this board increases our operating costs, everything from having the highest paid staff to getting into businesses that conÀict with the private sector. Building new municipal buildings — spending money on tourism (which tourists are going to pay for ferry costs to visit here?) Lack of recognition of issues like this and just pouring money into items without looking at the cause is not the answer. We elected these people with the expectation of some common sense decisions being made. More debt equals higher taxes. Now we see the spin happening so they all won’t get egg on their faces. Our board doesn’t want another ECO Depot rebellion, so take it to the people, ¿libuster it to death, prolong it a year or so until the government has allowed more dumping. It has the appearance this board is more interested in the millions of dollars this private company will make charging for this material being dumped on their property than the safety of our water supply. This present CVRD board hasn’t got it yet. All of us out here did not just fall off the cabbage wagon. We are able to think and we do use common sense. What is this board going to do and how quickly to protect our area water supply against toxic dumping over-population and preserving what we have for our future?

One hundred thousand tourism jobs expected in the next eight years

or some, a dream job would be a vacation planner — for themselves. Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with more than 400 different occupations — including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that ¿t well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire. British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to ¿ll 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human resource association. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 open- Lana Denoni: ings are due to replacements key pillar (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy coordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout B.C.,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.

B.C.’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of ¿ve per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services. There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people. More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in food and beverage services (43,410 openings), recreation and entertainment (20,530 openings) and the accommodation sector (18,920 openings). “After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Of¿cer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.” “The tourism industry often provides people with their important ¿rst job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the

After a brief dip in the industry, the number of valley visitors was up 21% in July, something local visitor centre workers chalk up to an inÀux of Europeans. Katherine Worsley, the Cowichan Lake Visitor Centre and Chamber of Commerce Coordinator said economics could explain the international Àavour. Or it might be that visitor services are better co-ordinated than in previous years.

“I think alot of the local groups are working cohesively together to promote the community. We are communicating with each other,” said Marlie Kelsey, the co-ordinator for the Chemainus Visitors Centre. “We are creating a positive energy in the community and making it an exciting place to come.” “This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis. — Black Press

ire¿ghters, and even a tow-truck driver, took trauma and grief counselling after attending the tragic Oct. 14 Malahat cross-over wreck that killed three Nanaimo women, and injured ¿ve others. Its cause was still under RCMP investigation while members of the Malahat and Mill Bay ¿re halls, and others involved, live with the carnage’s emotional scars. Rob Patterson, Malahat’s

It’s important to remember you didn’t cause this, you’re there to help. “The emphasis was not to drink, use any other substances, or make any

major changes in your life,” the veteran chief said. “Stay clean and clear to help put things in perspective — use this (accident) as a learning tool and it will help us better deal with the next situation. “Hopefully it won’t be as severe as this one, but there will be accidents in the future.”

Fireworks plans may Äzzle By permit only: New permits only available for Halloween itself Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ew ¿reworks regulations with ¿nes up to $500 are in effect in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. And while permits for ¿reworks on Halloween itself are still available, anyone shooting some off this weekend will be doing it illegally. “We just want to make people aware the bylaw has changed and it has further restricted the discharge of ¿reworks to three days a year,’’ said Nino Morano, the CVRD’s bylaw enforcement of¿cer. Morano is authorized to grant permits for Jan. 1, July 1 and Oct. 31. Permits for any other day can only be granted by the CVRD board.

Fireworks explode at city hall during the annual Duncan light-up. “The concern I have is the weekend before Halloween and the weekend after,’’ said Morano. “People need to understand Halloween is Oct. 31 and not Nov. 2 or 3.’’ The sale of ¿reworks is not permitted within the CVRD and carries a ¿ne of $500. A ¿ne of $100 will be levied against anyone who discharges ¿reworks without the proper authority.

As for Halloween, “I’ve got maybe a dozen permits I’ve processed so far,’’ said Morano. “I can anticipate there’s going to be some last-minute ones, for sure.’’ The issuance of a permit comes with conditions. “They have to review a package and it deals with safety and the handling of ¿reworks and the safe discharge of ¿reworks,’’ said Morano. “We’ve tried to get the safety message out there and to communicate with their neighbours.’’ This is of utmost importance since ¿reworks have proven to create adverse effects among domestic and farm animals. Complaints about ¿reworks after CVRD business hours must be lodged with the RCMP. “Police will help me decide if a ¿ne is in order, especially if they’ve attended,’’ said Morano.

Edgington Madge “Anne” – Passed away peacefully, with family at her side, on Jan 18th 2012 at Cairnsmore Place, Duncan BC. Born in Winnipeg on Jan 10th 1921, she was predeceased by her husband Ron in 2010. She will be lovingly remembered by her friends, family and children John (Joyce), Paul (Sheila) and Joan (Al Longley) and her grand children Ryan (Ashley), Ron, Neil, Glen (Brandy), Paul (Autumn) and great grand children Nolan, Mia, Keisha, Draeden, and Clara. She will be missed by all who knew her. No service by request.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Cairnsmore Place for all their help during her stay there, especially those who gave Anne special care. On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com H.W. Wallace 251 Jubilee St. 250-701-0001 GRANBOIS, Constance Daphne (nee Painter) May 23, 1926 – Oct. 14, 2012 Passing away peacefully with family by her side, Daphne was predeceased by her husband Armand (2011) and son Curtis (2012). She is survived by her sons Daryl (Diane), Randy (LaVerne), Barry (Sabine) and daughter-in-law Lee, as well as 11 grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren. Daphne was born and raised in Vancouver, living a short time in Campbell River at Painter’s Lodge before returning to Vancouver. After the war she met the love of her life, Armand and they were married in 1946. Daphne soon started their family with the first two of their four sons. In March of 1952, they moved to Lake Cowichan starting a fishing resort. They built the Lake Cowichan Auto Court on the former site of the Lakeside Hotel, and later building their family home on the Lake in 1957. Daphne loved her family time, by boating, camping, and enjoyed our long, family road trips, which must have been a feat for her with four boys in tow. She was a person of great humour, loving a good joke, and was not above playing a good practical joke now and again. In the 1970’s, Daphne’s volunteer time peaked, as she helped establish the Lake Cowichan Figure Skating club by coaching and serving on the executive as President. She also began golfing and excelled at this sport, which led to her being involved in the March Meadows Golf Club, serving at times as secretary and President, as well Captain of the Ladies Division. She furthered this by also volunteering to work with the CLPGA to handicap golf courses around BC. Daphne and Armand moved to the Douglas Hill area of Cobble Hill upon retirement. Daphne’s passion was golf and through this she made many good friends. She was a very active member of the Cowichan Golf Club, golfing multiple times each week, and during the winter, snow-birding to Southern California to golf was an annual event. Daphne had been under the wonderful care of Sunshine Manor in Campbell River for the last several years, and finally succumbed to her battle with Alzheimer’s. Thank you to all the staff and doctors who have looked after her, and who have gone above and beyond to make her comfortable during her stay. No service by family request. Daphne’s ashes will be interned at Mountain View Cemetery, Duncan, beside Armand’s where the family will honour her memory in a service at a later date.

Zarate, McCuaig-Jones sharp Dynamite combination: Junior Bantam duo subdues Spartans Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ig wins have the Cowichan Junior Bantam and Peewee Bulldogs football teams primed for the playoffs. The junior bantams are now 6-2 on the season after beating the Victoria Spartans Sunday. An interception by safety Katelyn Wright on the last play of the ¿rst quarter woke up the team after a slow start. Linemen Bradley Wilson, Dalin Koons and Brayden Belton opened a hole for running back Reily Zarate to score a 38-yard touchdown on the ¿rst play of the second quarter. With two seconds left in the half, Zarate completed a 42-yard pass to quarterback Damian McCuaig-Jones for a TD. Zarate scored his second TD of the day on the opening drive of the second half with a 57-yard run, following the blocks of linemen Chase Godin and James Bonner. “The linemen have been working really

hard at practice which has shown huge results come game time,’’ noted coach Trent Jones. “Everything starts with those guys on the line of scrimmage and they have been doing a great job.’’ The defence led by Jake Paras and Baily Lamont forced three turnovers, including one late in the third when McCuaig-Jones ripped the ball out of a Victoria player’s hands and took it 23 yards the other way for a TD. The Bulldogs face the undefeated Victoria Renegades at 11 a.m. Sunday at McAdam Park. The peewees won their last regular-season game 12-0 over the Victoria Spartans. “Both our offence and defence were on the top of their game,’’ noted coach Devon Lawrence. Quarterback Cameron Wright connected with Carter Price on a 30-yard pass that he turned into a TD. Ronan Harley broke through multiple times to force the Spartans to scramble in the back¿eld. The ¿rst playoff game for the Bulldogs is this weekend against the same Spartans.

t’s getting down to crunch time in the Vancouver Mainland Football League for the Cowichan Midget and Bantam Bulldogs. The midgets went to Vancouver Sunday and scored a key 11-0 victory over the Trojans to improve their season record to 6-3. “It should have been a lot more,’’ noted Cowichan coach Doug (Opie) Williams of the score. “We could not capitalize when we were in the red zone. We moved the ball well, controlled it for most of the game — just couldn’t put the ball in the end zone.’’ Cowichan made its ¿rst trip to the red zone in the second quarter, but the ball popped out on Wyatt MacWatt and Vancouver recovered. The Bulldogs took another trip to the red zone late in the ¿rst half. Special teams put pressure on Vancouver and forced a bad snap, turning the ball over on its own 30-yard line. Blake Torok-Both made a great run to get the ball down to the eight. But the ball was slightly overthrown on the next play and Vancouver intercepted to keep the game scoreless at the half. “We came out strong in the start of the third, marching the ball again,’’ pointed out Williams. Torok-Both’s back-to-back runs took the ball down to the six and a quarterback sneak got it to the two. But the Bulldogs eventually had to settle for a Brendan Gowanlock ¿eld

an interception. Winless Richmond forfeited its game against the Bulldogs this weekend. That leaves one game on the regular-season schedule, Nov. 4 at home against undefeated White RockSouth Surrey Titans. The Bantam Bulldogs were on the road against the Victoria Spartans and lost 20-6 in a hard-hitting game. The result dropped the Bulldogs’ record to 3-5. Speedy Cowichan quarterback Kain Melchior opened the scoring with a bootleg run to the right that went 80 yards for a TD. The Spartans answered and then went ahead 14-6 at the half. In the second half, the Spartans completed the scoring with a safety on a blocked punt, a single and a ¿eld goal. Linebacker Mitch Hinton played aggressive football and cornerback Grant Lutters provided great coverage. The offensive line was tested with a large blitzing linebacker crew, but did an amazing job. The second half was highlighted by the great hands of receiver Eddy Walt. On defence, Morgan Pasternak excelled at safety and Karl Mattison was instrumental at linebacker in stopping the Spartans’ tough middle run. Cowichan also relied on its own middle running from tough guy Alex Hedley. The Bulldogs head to Nanaimo for a battle with the Redmen this weekend and then ¿nish the regular season at home against the South Delta Rams Nov. 4.

Dateline 1926: Asian workers better, lower-paid Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

henever government decrees an increase in the minimum wage, theories abound on the effect of a wage hike on the bottom line. In October 1926, Cowichan forestry companies nervously awaited the compulsory Nov. 1 introduction of a 40 cent per hour minimum wage. Glum mill owners speculated it might not be possible to carry the additional payroll expense given the current prices for lumber — considered low at the time. Genoa Bay Lumber Company planned to shut its planing mill. Managers pointed out that not only would wages of Orientals (sic) have to be increased, but the pay of white workers would have to increase correspondingly. In general, mill owners had found that the white labour had not been as satisfactory as experienced Orientals at the same price. “The white labour offering, particularly the youthful variety, is inexperienced and inclined to decidedly Àoating tendencies,” sniped the Leader. “...the owners will be de¿nitely out to secure the best labour obtainable for the money which they will have to pay, and while white labour will be given the preference on a quality basis, it is doubtful whether some of the more experienced and better class of Oriental workmen will be replaced.”

Scrub brush: Off-road club reclaiming backwoods from dumpers Caitlin McKay

News Leader Pictorial

ill 60 and Chemainus River Park need a clean-up and the British Columbia Jeep Club is taking on the challenge. The mountainous terrain has become a dumping ground for campers, hikers and other users of the area and the four-wheelers say the place is getting too trashy. The BCJC is planning a clean-up to raise awareness about the garbage

and to raise the pro¿le of the fourwheeling club. “I’ve been to campsites up there and there are diapers and other stuff... it’s a dumping ground for people who don’t want to pay for the dumping fees. We go up there to enjoy the wilderness and it’s starting to get really bad up there,” said Darren Turner who is the local club moderator for the island. Turner said four-wheelers have a bad reputation in some circles for destroying the wilderness and he hopes this event will change that perspective. “People who are heavy into the environmentalist action they can have a bad opinion of four wheelers, that we are just destroying the environment. There is a small portion that do,

but that’s not what the community is about at all. We are good people just out enjoying the forest,” he said. There is not a clear reason why more people are leaving garbage in the area, but Turner speculates the trash has been increasing for a decade. “It’s been bad up there for 10 years. It’s just getting worse and worse. There is junk everywhere. You name it and it’s up there.” While a clean-up is not a long-term solution to the problem, it does help raise awareness about the problem. The BCJC has about 50 volunteers so far. The event will take place on Oct. 28, starting at Deol State Winery at 9:30 a.m. For more information contact Cathi Manness at 250-246-4012.

POGs show at PORTALS an education in Cowichan printmaking originality Printmakers Only Group: members use technique demonstrations, array of ďŹ nished limited-edition works to teach artistic smarts The message in their 21st-annual show â€” outside variety being the ink of life â€“ is that prints are original art; reproductions, even signed ones, are basically posters. POGs have wisely used educational demonstrations to gently but Âżrmly hammer that key difference into Cowichan heads since starting their group a couple of decades back. The POGsâ€™ proactive show has pressed a slew of subjects spanning still life, abstracts, wildlife, the human form and more. Call it all the art thatâ€™s Âżt to print. Take an owlâ€™s penetrating peepers in Beverlee McLeodâ€™s Visitor 2/3; a henâ€™s amusing feathered tussell in Edie Millerâ€™s drypoint Bad Hair Day; the Afro-simplicity of Lynn Starterâ€™s monotype White Elephant (timely, as

lison MacKenzie squeegees ink onto a fresh series of Christmas cards during Saturdayâ€™s hands-on print-making demonstration just outside the PORTALS gallery. Folks curious about the ancient art practised by Cowichanâ€™s venerable POGs (Printmakers Only Group) lean forward to inspect MacKenzieâ€™s works in progress at the Pressed & Pulled show. And inside the Cowichan Valley Arts Councilâ€™s popular main-Ă€oor gallery, at Island Savings Centre, hangs an eclectic crop of hand-pulled prints made by 14 POGs since their 2011 PORTALS show.

National Geographic reports 25,000 elephants were slaughtered last year for ivory); the delicate hues of a napping woman in Beverly Pedenâ€™s etching Closed For Business; or the gripping colour palette of Carol Raeâ€™s waxen monotype Autumn Light. Clearly, the POGs have patiently succeeded in showing locals what their original art is and how itâ€™s made, while displaying the rainbow of subjects available. You canâ€™t ask for more in an art show. Just hope a POG doesnâ€™t catch you calling a mass-produced piece a â€˜print.â€™ Pressed & Pulled runs daily at PORTALS from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Nov. 6, with demonstrations Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Orchestra. Before conductor Alain Trudel, and guest pianist AndrĂŠ Laplante, swing into Beethoven and Stravinsky tunes in the Cowichan Theatre, society brass will name a new major sponsor for the struggling CSS. â€œWe have other sponsors, but nothing quite like this,â€? said CSSâ€™ tightlipped spokesman, Ted Rhodes. â€œI hope we turn the corner Âżnancially, and artistically our standards will be higher than ever this year.â€? Their dire straits were explained in a News Leader Pictorial feature in June, and Rhodes happily reported upbeat ticket sales. â€œSales are better than last year; weâ€™re way over 400 full subscribers â€” last year it was quite a bit below that. Weâ€™re on our way.â€? That path must be paved with some 500 tickets for each of the

Featured guest AndrĂŠ Laplante tackles Beethoven and Stravinsky tonight. CSSâ€™s four concerts this year to break even, explained Rhodes, a local tenor. The four shows were cut from eight last year, after which the society revealed its precarious books. â€œIt was a decision we just had to make. Weâ€™ve been striving to do more,â€? said the Yorkshireman. â€œHaving a professional symphony come here is quite something. I hope we have a good audience for our Âżrst

one; itâ€™s such a fabulous concert.â€? Trudelâ€™s baton will bounce between Stravinksyâ€™s Danse Concertanes, Beethovenâ€™s Piano Concerto No. 3 â€” starring ivory man Laplante â€” plus Beethovenâ€™s Symphony No. 5. Trudel directs Orchestra London Canada, the National Broadcast Orchestra, and lâ€™Orchetre Symphonique de Laval. He also leads the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra, plus the National Youth Orchestra of Canada whose recording of Mahlerâ€™s Sixth earned a 2010 Juno nod. Order-of-Canada piano man Laplante gained global applause for prizes in Geneva and Sydney competitions, and bagging silver at Moscowâ€™s Tchaikovsky contest. Critics liken Laplante to piano icons Ashkenazy, Horowitz and Serkin.

VIU is giving you Lent: the book and the movie

ON STAGE

John Lent is a B.C. writer and poet of some note. Enough note that someone has decided to make a ﬁlm about him. The ﬁlm — Life Worth Telling — has its world premiere Oct. 30 right here in Duncan. And it will feature the added attraction of having the man himself present to read from his

work and discuss writing in general. Lent’s novel The Path to Ardroe was released this spring. It is the latest work from a man who has been publishing poetry, ﬁction and nonﬁction nationally and internationally for the past 30 years. Lent lives in Vernon with his wife, artist Jude

Clarke, and performs jazz and roots music with the Lent/Fraser/Wall Trio. He has been doing Canada Council readings for 25 years. Life Worth telling premieres, Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. in Room 140 of the VIU Cowichan campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Still Äddling while the conservatives burn East-Coast bad boy: MacIsaac talks frankly about his reputation, and good fortune, from life in show-biz’s fast lane Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

shley MacIsaac may have mellowed his bad-boy image. But the sometimes crude, always outspoken, Celtic ¿ddle¿end didn’t candy coat answers during Tuesday’s chat with the News Leader Pictorial. “I did drugs until Feb. 24, 1999,” he said of his former crack habit, while chopping food at home in Ontario. “That’s 13 years ago. I had all the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll that anyone in Aerosmith could imagine.” MacIsaac’s tuning for a fresh tour, including his Nov. 1 Cowichan Theatre return, after last playing here in 2003. He’ll lift traditional and modern numbers from his various CDs — including Hi How Are You Today?, Helter’s Celtic, and 2011’s Crossover. Sleepy Maggie, maybe his biggest hit, could be on deck in Duncan next week. His music has earned the Nova Scotia native a fortune, plus three Junos, since his brilliant bow work and outrageous antics started in 1992 with his debut disc Close To The Floor. MacIsaac, 37, will be Àanked by percussionist Jay (Sticks) Andrews, and guitarist Chris Babineau. While the Cape Bretoner touted a traditional ¿rst half, set two will be modern. “We still rock out.” He may even play hints of a country platter he has in the works, or his nearly-done disc Hi, How Are You Now? MacIsaac seemed “¿ne, “We still thanks,” talking candidly about politics, charities, viorock out.” lins, scandals, and playing the Acropolis, the Barbican, Carnegie Hall, and Vancouver’s 2010 Olympics. “I’ve guided quite well into folk-hero status,” he stated. Some of that status comes from outlandish scenes, like the time he did a kick while wearing a kilt, Àashing his genitals on national TV’s Late Night With Conan O’Brien.

MacIsaac

“We rehearsed it in the afternoon. The clip made it to Conan’s Best Of,” an unapologetic MacIsaac said. “I thought it was comedy at the time, and I was on a comedy show.” Earlier in his career his sexuality and outrageous statements grabbed national headlines and forced him to often hire bodyguards. “I’ve dealt with it. With those headlines out there, people have the reason to grind your gears.” The show-biz grind led to personal bankruptcy in about 2001. But MacIsaac landed on his feet. “There’s enough tax loopholes in this country that I could declare bankruptcy and still collect welfare.” He’s not on welfare now. And today’s headlines focus more on his talent. The respected artist talked proudly about rewarding concerts — and his new violin. “She’s very expensive; she’s in the six ¿gures. But it’s not the truck, it’s the

driver,” said MacIsaac who still owns his ¿rst German-made ¿ddle. “If you’re good, and still have your hands, I’ll always be able to make a living because shows always fall out of the sky. “If there’s any business more ¿ckle than politics, its the entertainment industry.” He’s suited to make the comparison. In 2006, MacIsaac declared himself a Liberal leadership candidate, denying it was a publicity stunt. He backed away months later. But MacIsaac remains a political animal, who didn’t rule out running for of¿ce, while applauding Liberal leadership hopeful Justin Trudeau. “I’ve got a T-shirt that says ‘I love Baby Trudeau.’ I see Justin becoming Liberal leader. I predict the NDP won’t have as many seats as the Liberals in the next election. “By 2019, Justin could be opposition leader, and could be prime minister some day.” MacIsaac’s message to Prime Minister Stephen Harper?

“Nothing’s required to talk to that bunch of clowns.” His talk turned serious when asked about various charities for which he’s played fundraisers: The WISH foundation, gay rights, marijuana protests (MacIsaac cheered B.C. bud), marine geological societies, and others. Young ¿ddlers mulling a professionalmusic career were advised to “consider it a business, ¿nd a niche, and work it like any other business.” “Don’t take no for an answer; I never did.” Not yet, anyway. And he pledges much more to come. “I’m only at the halfway stage of my life,” he said. Your ticket What: Ashley MacIsaac When: Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $35, eyeGO $5.
