Cowichan culture on the map, is funding next? Speaks Easy: pinpoints 200 cultural hotspots as arts community prepares bid for more funding Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan’s ongoing virtual map of arts, culture and heritage was unfolded during a recent community evening in the Cowichan Theatre. Culture vultures of all ages flocked to the session primed with hands-on workshops about words, music, drawing, and photography before hitting the theatre stage for a power-point presentation showing some 200 spots plotted on the Cowichan Valley Arts Council’s website so far. CVAC’s mapping project, called Cowichan Culture Speaks Easy, allows folks to log onto cowichanculture.ca/speakseasy and plot places — past and present, and future — of personal local significance. The map will ultimately paint Cowichan Valley Regional District directors a clear picture of the valley’s arts-and-culture scene. That picture will ramp a request to start a regional artsand-culture “If we have to committee, go to referenwith an annual budget dum, we need a to fund crelot more eveative groups, shows, nings like this projects and festivals, explained Kirsten Schrader, Cowichan’s A&C manager. On Nov. 27, she aims to ask the CVRD’s regional services committee to recommend the board create a formal A&C committee, and do a feasibility study about how best to establish an annual

Schrader said she wants the committee struck, and the artstaxation study done, by next year. An arts budget from areas across Cowichan would see musical and drama groups, festival organizers and A&C project people apply for local grant funding. Money could go to a Shawnigan Players’ production or sets and costumes, the folk guild’s Islands Folk Festival, the Cowichan Music Festival, a show by fledgling thespians such as

Noisey Mime’s troupe, a public sculpture, a student art show, and much more. Applications would be approved through a peer-review committee, Schrader explained, stressing administration staff needed would be minimal. “There would be fine-arts requirements from each (applying) group,” she said of debating grant approvals, then examining the funded results. “If they don’t meet their requirements, obvious that would

be a problem for them getting grant money again,” Schrader said, stoked by response at the Oct. 23 Speaks Easy session. “If we have to go to referendum (for the CVRD taxation function), we need a lot more evenings like this.” Speaks Easy’s map holds balloons with red ones representing places in the valley’s past; blue signifies present sites; yellow shows future uses and ideas. Clicking on those balloons shows the Shawnigan Lake

Museum, Cowichan Station’s HUB centre, Shawnigan’s Art House Collective, Island Savings Centre, Aboriginal teachings in Chemainus’ Waterwheel Park, Ladysmith’s Waterfront Gallery, and even Youbou’s landmark bowling lanes. Don’t be shy, explained Speaks Easy point man Chris O’Connor — Cowichanians can always add their own arts and culture site picks to the active site owned by the CVRD. more on page A4 bchonda.com

Cobble Hill bird and wildlife sanctuary rehabilitated

UP FRONT

Marsh rehabilitation is happening in one of Cowichan’s hidden ecological gems. The local non-proﬁt Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society rehabilitated part of an overgrown, eight-acre marsh in its Bird & Wildlife Sanctuary on Manley Farm in Cobble Hill last weekend, NWPS’ Kristine Krynitzki’s

release states. NWPS cheered $10,000 toward rehab from Shell’s Fuelling Change competition, plus help from valley contractor Ken Motherwell. Carlo Acuna, a BCIT ecological restoration student, volunteered to help guide the project. Established in 1987, NWPS is a registered

charity helping preserve North America’s wildlife and wildlife habitat. That habitat offers environmental education programs to B.C. children. Cowichan kids can help pull Manley’s invasive species, and ﬁx the wetland, through the NWPS. For information call 604-568-4907, or 778-967-3379.

The Land Conservancy is expected to push for the continued protection of Keating Farm in any deal it makes to sell the property.

Cash-strapped TLC may have to sell historic farm property

Keating Farm: property may be sold in order to save The Land Conservancy

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan’s historic Keating Farm may be sold to help pay The Land Conservancy’s ballooning debts. “It’s under active consideration, along with our other pieces of property,” TLC’s John Shields said Monday about the Keating spread and its rare buildings. “Our whole portfolio has to be looked at with a critical eye to see if there’s enough money to pay about $7.5 million in debt owed to properties, and mortgage holders The Land Conservancy hasn’t been able to pay in the past.” TLC is under creditor protection issued by B.C.’s Supreme Court, he added. Concerning Keating, located

on Miller Road, south of Duncan, the TLC aims to ensure it stay in the agricultural land reserve, and that a colony of rare bats in the barn is preserved. “It’s like a nursery colony where they give birth to their young,” Shields said. “It has to be assured they be protected. Our concern is the agricultural values in the land, and preserving a potentially endangered species.” Timeframes about decisions regarding Keating Farm were unknown at press time. “We have three expert property inspectors going through each piece of property, and advising us how me might proceed.” The Companies Creditors Arrangement Act allows TLC to plan how to pay its creditors, and regain financial stability, Shields said. He estimated the environmental and historical preser-

vation group has holdings of about $45 million, including Keating Farm. “The likelihood of us monetarizing our properties to pay off creditors is pretty good, but in some cases there are special concerns for the properties. “We acquired them for a particular purpose of rescuing them. How we get value from a property will depend on what other restrictions can be put in place to realize our purpose of acquiring a property.” Each of TLC’s many properties holds special qualities, spanning riparian-zone protection and wildlife corridors, to historic architecture. Under creditor protection, courts monitor everything TLC proposes and does, Shields said, and a judge rules on recommendations that go forward.

udrey Schroeder’s story in the News Leader Pictorial Wednesday generated a huge response from valley residents wanting to help.

John reminds people they can register to be an organ donor at www.transplant.bc.ca. The Because I Can Project also offers a great deal of information through its Facebook page and website at becauseicanproject.com. “This project is driven by three passionate people who have discovered a national crisis: a massive organ transplant wait-list, and a lack of donors,’’ states the website. “Everything within this project hinges upon its name: because I can. When we became aware of this crisis, we not only saw the problem, but immediately envisioned the solution: a system to increase donors today and tomorrow. “We don’t get paid to run this campaign and we are not governed by any other organization. We have happily funded every penny from our own pockets. Why? Because we are passionate about lives being saved because we don’t really see numbers — we see faces and stories. We believe in life, goodness, giving and hope. We also believe that people across the country feel the same way and all of you have confirmed that.’’ The people who run the site are doing a story about Schroeder next week. Schroeder spends three days a week on dialysis for up to four hours at a time. If a suitable donor isn’t found soon, her prognosis isn’t good. Those commenting on the NLP website quickly offered moral support. “Please stay strong sister,’’ wrote Stacey Strickland. “ I gave my dad a kidney five years ago and find myself in the same position now. You need to stay strong, surround yourself with the people you love and pray to the powers that be that this will all work out, and it will. Keeping you in my thoughts for sure.’’

he Duncan Garage Showroom must close by Nov. 30. Owner Longevity John Falkner told the News Leader Pictorial Wednesday he was notified by building owners Jeff and Heather Winship the final curtain has come after a decade of 2,600-odd shows of music, plays, film, comedy and more. “We put it on Facebook this afternoon. I received a notice through the bailiff this morning that I had to vacate the premises by Nov. 30,” he said Wednesday. Jeff Winship declined to comment about the demise of the Showroom he and his family are fond of. “All I can say is we’ve been huge supporters. It’s best to say nothing. I have my reasons (closure notice); I don’t want to talk about it.” Falkner stressed the Showroom’s end isn’t about a fight with the Winships. “Everyone’s just as

his venue as such to trumpet the city’s name. “It opens up a new door for me.” Doors from various corners of Cowichan are ajar for him to move his live venue to Ladysmith, Chemainus and elsewhere. “We’d be remiss not to look for a new and better place. Ten years have allowed me to better serve the public in their desires when I think of any new venue.” He thanked patrons and supporters who had become like family as Falkner became “a catalyst for creativity.” “We were amazed we got past one year. The Showroom was an experience; you were never ready for it, but you sure enjoyed it. “One person said ‘You bounce back really well’, so what part of the bounce am I on now?” Folks who saw a couple of shows “will be enriched for the rest of their lives.” “It’s a sad day, but not as sad as it’ll be on the 30th. To all the naysayers, you missed a good time. Watch for what I do next; I’m just as curious.”

NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONSIDER THIRD READING To:

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759

South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520

Applicable to Electoral Area B – Shawnigan Lake; AND Applicable to Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat And Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill

As per Section 890(4) of the Local Government Act, the Cowichan Valley Regional District Board of Directors has reviewed Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759, and found them to be consistent with the policies of the South Cowichan Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3510. Therefore, a Public Hearing has been waived and the Board has directed that this Public Notice occur in its place. Bylaw No. 3520 received second reading, as amended, and Bylaw No. 3759 received first and second reading at the October 23, 2013 CVRD Special Board meeting. NOTICE is hereby given that the CVRD Board of Directors will consider reading a third time the above noted Bylaws at the regular Board meeting of November 13, 2013. 1. Shawnigan Lake Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3759 would amend Shawnigan Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 985 (1986) by: 1. Introducing an increased floor area limit of 85 square metres (914 square feet) for small suites and secondary suites; 2. The following new zones are created: A-2A Small Lot Agricultural (Special) – for the Island Daylily Farm site A-6 Agricultural Institutional – for the Girl Guides Camp Creina RR-2 Rural Residential 2 – for Goldstream Heights and Cougar Ridge area RR-4 Rural Manufactured Home Park – for Burnham Manufactured Home Park RR-5 Rural Manufactured Home Residential – for Shawnigan Station Subdivision R-4A Village Manufactured Home Park Residential 4A – For Shawnigan Lake Mobile Home Park 3. The entire eastern portion of Shawnigan Village, presently zoned R-2 (and one parcel is A-2) will be rezoned to R-3. 4. Four parcels of land in the Burnham-Empress Road area will be rezoned from A-2 to R-2. 5. Three parcels of land in the Nora Place-Shawnigan Mill Bay Road area will be rezoned from R-1 to R-2. 6. New daycare regulations are introduced, which link the number of children permitted to the size of the parcel of land. 7. New home-based business regulations are introduced for the following new zones: A-2A, A-6, RR-2 and RR-5. 2. South Cowichan Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 will replace Electoral Area A – Mill Bay/Malahat Zoning Bylaw No. 2000 (adopted in 1999) and Electoral Area C – Cobble Hill Zoning Bylaw No. 1405 (adopted in 1992). The intent of Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 is to implement the 2011 South Cowichan Official Community Plan and provide a modern and robust land use bylaw for the future of the affected Electoral Areas. Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 would be one comprehensive Zoning Bylaw with common terms and conditions for the two Electoral Areas, and it would also maintain distinct regulations for each community.

Zoning Bylaw No. 3520 divides the lands and water surfaces within Electoral Areas A and C into 68 different zones. These zones are classified under the following general land use categories: Agricultural, Rural Resource, Rural Residential and Recreational, Village Residential, Rural Comprehensive Development, Village Comprehensive Development, Rural Commercial, Village Commercial, Industrial, Parks/Institutional and Water. Regulations within each zone typically include a list of permitted uses, minimum parcel size for subdivision, density (typically the number of dwelling units permitted per parcel of land or dwelling units per hectare), setbacks for buildings and structures, maximum permitted building height, and the degree to which land may be covered by buildings and impervious surfaces. Some zones contain other regulations – for example, requiring a parcel to be connected to community water and sewer services. In addition to the specific regulations concerning each zone described in Zoning Bylaw No. 3520, there are general regulations that apply to all lands and water surfaces, related to land use, siting of buildings and structures, subdivision, off-street parking and off-street loading spaces. There is also a list of definitions, for terms commonly used within the Bylaw.

Rail crossings on track for downtown? Ride for Free! Application pending: City pitching two new pedestrian-friendly crossings

Frustrated with the lack of a pedestrian-friendly rail crossing in Charles Hoey Park, Guy Frith took matters into his own hands this spring. North Cowichan council recently paid $28,500 plus taxes for Southern to install two ICF-approved, level crossing panels at the Cowichan Commons, along the Friendship Trail. “If we ponied up the $28,000 (for two panels), I suppose it would have been done by now,” de Verteuil said. Downtown crossing issues flared in the spring fueled by a resident who illegally dumped crossing gravel between the tracks at the Hoey site in order to address pedestrian issues. “This is a small sidewalk crossing; no horses and bike riders,” de Verteuil said of the less-costly urban crossings downtown compared to those at the Commons. “It all depends on the approval itself.”

Council sought Hoey Park crossing nods from ICF and Southern starting back around 2009, he explains. Southern’s cost for that crossing was about $42,000 for a 16-foot panel, plus some tie replacement. But in August, de Verteuil said he talked with folks at Washington State’s Omega Industries, who said they can modify panels to fit both downtown Duncan crossings. De Verteuil hoped ICF and Southern will allow the installation, once safety concerns are settled. Talks with the rail owners might also include safety fencing along one side of the tracks between Queens Street and Trunk Road, he noted. Those fencing bills could range from $13,000 to $69,000, he estimated.

ormal handicap-access rail crossings at Charles Hoey Park, and at the train station parking lot’s north end, are being engineered by Duncan council. Administrator Peter de Verteuil said council has approved his plan to apply to the Island Corridor Foundation for formal rail crossings at Hoey Park near the train station, plus upgrades to the parking lot’s current crossing. Crossing structures would see ninefoot, concrete pads capable of fitting the height of the 85# rail currently in use in Charles Hoey Park, he notes. “We will then work with ICF on getting the crossing design reviewed, and hopefully approved, and only then will Southern Rail do the construction,” his email states. The busy crossing at Hoey Park could satisfy public demands for handicap-access across the tracks. Total taxpayer costs for work at both spots is estimated at $30,000, he said. That bill is far less than an estimated $28,000 per crossing, if based on previously discussed 16-foot panels, he noted. Track-size issues complicated installing the crossings downtown.

Showroom loss reminder of what culture can do Duncan Garage: Community needs to nurture opportunities to connect and grow

ongevity John Falkner is as much of a downtown icon as the Duncan totems his elongated stature and craggy features make him vaguely resemble. That he will pick up the pieces following the closure of his Duncan Garage Showroom and continue following his unique muse, we have no doubt. That downtown Duncan’s arts community will thrive in the hole created by the Showroom’s absence, however, we’re not so sure. Beyond the steady stream of Juno award-winners, emerging national talents and international music of all Arts worthy flavours it brought to our community, of our supthe Showroom did something even better: it provided a dedicated venue port for tentative Cowichan artists of all stripes to take those bold first steps on to a public stage. Ironically, we report the venue’s looming closure in the same edition we write about a push to create a dedicated Cowichan tax to support the local arts and culture scene. Whether the Duncan Garage Showroom specifically is a facility worthy of some type of public subsidy is a topic for another time. What is indisputable, however, is it is a one-of-a-kind venue without peer on Vancouver Island. There can’t be more than a few establishments like it in all of Canada. What is also outside of debate is that this is the type of establishment that makes this community a better place to live. It is the type of facility this community should nurture and support. It gave us an opportunity to connect, the grow, and to expand our horizons. It is culture, our culture. And culture is worthy of our support.

The case for Nitinat is the forgotten Cowichan Valley community, out of sight and out of mind for most beyond a couple hundred residents a few adventurers and the seasonal windsurﬁng community. Opening and improving the road will open up one of the unexplored areas of community to economic development. Just look at what the Paciﬁc Rim Circle Route is doing for Lake Cowichan and Port Renfrew.

Mandatory ﬂu shots just another way to help patients Tom Fletcher Black Press

got my influenza shot this week, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higher-risk groups provided free immunization. A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors, and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply

with the new policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association. HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Nurses’ Union. Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advantage of on-site flu shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work. Kendall announced the regulation last year, after finding 40% of employees in long-term care were not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of immunization was declining. Their objections make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough. The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world.

Has anyone ever stopped to think the very qualities that make Nitinat interesting and unique are fed by its remote nature? Has anyone asked taxpayers whether they want to take on what is sure to be a signiﬁcant money pit? Has anyone asked Nitinat residents whether they want their community to be more accessible? Leave well enough alone.

BC VIEWS

Kendall says a poor match results in about 40% immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the obvious, he notes that even 40% is better than nothing. After two weeks of expert testimony, arbitrator Robert Diebolt, a retired UBC law professor, wrote as follows: “It is indisputable that influenza can be a serious, even fatal, disease. Immunization also indisputably provides a measure of protection to health care workers and I have found that their immunization reduces influenza transmission to patients. I have also concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue, and the policy is a helpful program to reduce patient risk.” The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates if all health care workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50%. What would cause educated health care workers to defy common sense? A hint is

provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog: “This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days,” Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility.

Settle marsh question with a referendum

Nothing wrong with a little bit of old-fashioned discipline

Dear editor We are writing in response to letters which appeared in the Oct. 25 issue: “There are healthier ways of dealing tantrums” and “Don’t humiliate your child.” Where is our society heading when a parent cannot discipline a child with mere words? It is not surprising so many of our youth are showing a total lack of respect for the rules that govern a civilized society. In our day a tantrum in a public place was dealt with by removing the child from the scene and administering a few well-placed whacks on a well padded derriere. As parents of grown children who are responsible citizens and loving parents themselves, our method obviously worked. End of story! (on behalf of myself, Sandra Stonge and Florence Garson). Shirley Maguire

In my opinion: Ask the people what they want

l Siebring made some valid points in his response to the marsh debate. The bigger question is, does council really wish to find out what taxpayers want? Taxpayers know money is often wasted, during large government expenditures. If nothing else, it’s simply a hazard of government/committee spending. So perhaps a solution might be to list the current largest capital projects and give the taxpayers two or three options of funding to achieve acceptable results for each project.

here is nothing trivial about medical imaging. But that hasn’t stopped the X-ray department at Cowichan District Hospital from using trivial matters to raise awareness about what they do. CDH radiation technologist Erin Whiteford spearheaded a trivia contest this week — National Medical Radiation Technologist Week — designed to educate the public. Visitors to the CDH X-ray department were asked to submit their answers to a daily question. Winners were selected from the correct answers and awarded a gift basket full of local prizes. “One of our technologists, Erin Whiteford, had this great idea and has put together the questions and baskets with the assistance of other

Wing-On a winner in the annual Black Ties

Dateline 2002: Longtime Duncan store honoured Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

he Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce Black Tie Awards event has been rolling along for some years now. And in November 2002, it was the turn of WingOn Foods owners Norman Lowe and Lena Leong to take top place in the new category of Business Achiever. They won top spot for longevity, community involvement, creativity and growth. “From the day we could walk, we’ve lived and breathed this store,” Leong said of the long-established shop on Craig Street. The grocery was started in 1950 by grandfather George Lowe, with parents Moon and Jing Lowe taking over in 1967. In 1988, it was time for Norman and Lena. “We don’t want to be the typical Chinese corner grocery store,” Leong said, explaining why the store had branched out into specialty products and expanded its home decor section. Another award recipient that year was realtor Nathan Clement, the youngest winner at just 20 years old. In the Young Entrepreneur category, the business had to be less than three years old and the individual 29 or younger. Six-month-old Clement Real Estate was connected to the Sutton Group. The year’s Volunteer award went to Rob Rensing, oncology counselling.

Capsule Comments

he most rapidly increasing type of cancer in the developed world is esophageal cancer where tumours affect the tube that takes food to the stomach. This type of cancer is linked to smoking, acid reflux and obesity. Since smoking rates are dropping every year, the increasing rate of obesity is one of the main risk factors. The laws governing the restriction of certain drugs to prescription-only are designed to protect the public. It wasn’t always so. Back in the early years of the 20th century, people could buy products like Coca Wine and Heroin which contained the drugs cocaine and heroine, which made addicts out of many people. Even morphine products were freely available. Drug laws protect us well today. As pharmacists, we are always confident of the quality of the medications in the pharmacy. They are accurately labeled with the name and amount of every active ingredient. Street drugs are another matter. Contents are not guaranteed and may even contain other drug products. One dose of a bad drug can change a life forever. The best and safest rule is don’t take it. We all miss doses of our medications now and then. If you miss one dose, take the dose the next time it’s due. Don’t double up. With birth control pills, it’s a bit more involved. It depends on the type of pill you are taking and which tablet in the cycle was missed. It may be necessary to use another method of birth control.

Our pharmacists are available with the answers about missed doses of medications. Don’t hesitate to check with them whenever you are in doubt.

Hay Fever the last waltz for a theatrical Vagabond Coward comedy: Cowichan drama veterans combine to ﬁnish what David Holmes started

urreal. It certainly sums up the feelings of director Jim Cleough and cast in Noel Coward’s play Hay Fever set to hit Mercury Theatre’s stage

Nov. 14. The production, written in 1924, is being staged by the Vagabond Theatre Company in memory of the company’s founder, the late valley actor David Holmes. Holmes was directing Vagabond’s version of Coward’s comedy when he died in hospital. Stage manager Cleough took on Holmes’s directorial duties for the show which features several long-time local players. “It is a little surreal, knowing it was David’s vision, and knowing now I’m trying to carry on his vision,” Cleough said. “Although I’ve taken over as director, it’s still a blend. It’s really inspired by David.” Putting on Coward’s farce featuring leading lady and mother Judith Bliss (Jennifer Lally) was an idea Holmes had while the brand-new theatre group was staging Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. “He was a man who fought a good fight, but you knew it wasn’t going to go on forever,” Cleough said of Holmes’ battle with cancer. “At the time “It’s a little Earnest, Hay Fesurreal, knowing of ver was certainly on the horizon as well. it was David’s He was talking about vision.” good quality scripts and classic theatre. “In some ways the work of Noel Coward was quite influenced by Oscar Wilde,” said Cleough, finding the humour and irony in the shift from Wilde to Coward. “It was, I suppose, a sort of stepping stone.”

STEPANICK, Robert â€œBobâ€? Richard On Friday, October 18, 2013 Robert â€œBobâ€? Richard Stepanick of Cold Lake, Alberta passed away in Bonnyville at the age of 80 years plus 1/2 a day. He had to see that 80th! We could write a book on all the things Bob accomplished in his life time and the people he has touched. Bob was born on October 17, 1933 in Holden, AB and raised in Edmonton. Bob joined the navy as a young pup to see the world with guitar in hand, he even attended the Queenâ€™s Coronation in England in 1953. He came back to Canada and shortly after got out of the service to pursue his plumbing and gas fitting apprenticeship. He then married and moved to Victoria, BC. Bob raised three children, built three family homes with a short interlude back in Alberta owning the Hay Lakes Hotel, then returning to Victoria where he was the building inspector in Langford for many years. In 1985, Bob started a new life undertaking a new family and living in Cobble Hill, BC. Here he began his own construction company, and raised another son and welcomed two grandchildren. Bob had a number of bands called everything from â€œThe Silver Wingsâ€? to â€œPrune Juiceâ€?. He loved to play at the Legion and for local events. Bob moved back to Alberta in 1997 to settle in a little village of Mirror, in central Alberta, until 2002 and then moved to Cold Lake. Bob was still in construction but always helped out at the flower shop as he loved to deliver flowers and make someoneâ€™s day. Bob had a multitude of interests, he could build or fix almost anything. He loved the skies above, especially flying as he had his pilotâ€™s license since the seventies. This gave him much joy. His music was such a big part of him that he shared with everyone around him. We will always shed a tear hearing the song â€˜Old Shepâ€™ and remember Bob! He loved to golf, the great outdoors, those Friday night card games and trips abroad. Bob is at peace now, after a long courageous fight against cancer! He will live on in everyone he touched with so many wonderful memories to treasure! Bob would say â€œIâ€™m still here!!! Bob is lovingly survived by his wife Cindy-Lynn of Cold Lake; two sons: Bruce Stepanick of Duncan, BC and his children: Kory Robert & Harley; Mark (Connie) Stepanick of New Zealand & their child: Emma; step-son: Damien (Jamie) Rogers of Cold Lake, AB; brother: Leonard (Brian) Stepanick of Belleville, ON; brother-in-law: Ron (Cherry) MacDonald of Grande Prairie, AB; father-in-law: Reg MacDonald of Cold Lake, AB. He leaves behind a large extended family and many friends. Bob was predeceased by his parents: Samuel & Angelina Stepanick; two sisters: Gladys & Jeannette; mother-in-law: Shan MacDonald. A private family service will take place at a later date. A Big warm thank you for all the support and caring through our journey. Memorial tributes in memory of Bob may be sent to the Bonnyville Health Centre, Cancer Unit, Postal Bag 1008, Bonnyville, AB T9N 2J7. Your condolences may be sent through our website at www.mementofuneralchapel.com

DEATHS SWAN, Leonard Edward 26 Jan. 1926 to 23 Oct. 2013 This beloved man, the patriarch of his family, blessed many lives for 87+ years.

Left to miss him is Margaret, his wife of 60 years; Joanelle (Ken), Brian (Pat), Wendy (Nick), and Reginald (Tesa); his grandchildren: Alisa, Janina (Morgan), and Andria Wiebe; Bill and Kristy Fielding; and one great grandchild, also his namesake, Silas Edward. He leaves his siblings Wesley, Donald, and Mary and many dear cousinsâ€”both Burdges and Swansâ€”and friends in Alberta, BC, and England. A man of faith, he had many church friends as well as associates in the farming community. Although born in England, Dad loved Alberta where he spent his childhood. Always conscientious and hard working, he started milking cows at 8 years of age. Dad, his father, and Wes had the last raw milk home delivery route in Victoria. He then moved to Cobble Hill where he continued to dairy farm until his â€œretirementâ€? when he kept chickens and gardened until the last month of his life. A celebration of his life is to take place on 9 November at 1 p.m. at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church; reception following on site. Online condolences at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Mann, Evans repeat with UBC Memorable tournament: Entire team lifts field hockey star’s spirits during the nationals Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

submitted

Co-captains and Cowichan stalwarts Miranda Mann and Caitlin Evans enjoy their fourth national field hockey title in five years at UBC.

t’s been an emotional time for Miranda Mann since her dad Les died on Sept. 28. Field hockey has been her salvation, helping her through the tough times. And with the support of her UBC teammates, the Duncan athlete is rejoicing in her fourth Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship in five years. Longtime Duncan teammate Caitlin Evans has been with Mann every step of the way and is also retiring from university field hockey with four titles under her belt. The UBC Thunderbirds captured national superiority again in Victoria last weekend with a 4-1 victory over the UVic Vikes. Mann and Evans have played field hockey together

basically since Grade 2. “I was lucky enough to get to room with her in Victoria,’’ said Mann. “She’s definitely been a big part of what got me through. “She played absolutely amazing as well. She played fantastic and so important for our team.’’ Mann was obviously thinking of her dad constantly throughout the tournament. “My dad’s been a huge inspiration to me my whole career,’’ she said. “I think our whole team did it a bit for him, too. Everyone was so supportive. “I had a whole team to pull me through it. Coming out with the result, it meant so much to me.’’ Les was a fixture at Miranda’s games from the very beginning of her field hockey career. He also documented many of the games through his photography and many were submitted and used in the News Leader Pictorial over the years. The irony of playing the nationals at the same UVic field where Les unexpectedly collapsed a mere one month and a week previously wasn’t lost on Miranda. Having to go back there was really tough, Miranda conceded. “I couldn’t have done it without the people I’ve been surrounded with,’’ she said. On top of everything else, finding out she won the Gail Wilson Award for outstanding contributor made it a banner week for Mann. She’s only the second UBC player to ever receive the honour. “That was a real honour,’’ said Mann. “I know Gail, she’s a professor at my school. She’s absolutely phenomenal. She’s done so much for sport.’’ Mann was the ideal choice for her contributions on and off the field. “Miranda is an exceptional human being who is kind, considerate and someone who always puts the needs of teammates first,’’ noted UBC coach Hash Kanjee. “Miranda has a bright personality, a very positive attitude and her leadership skills which all go towards providing the glue that holds our team together.’’ Mann and Evans were both named to the all-Canadian team. Mann is a kinesiology student who works with autistic children in Vancouver, giving families a break from the rigors life has presented to them. Defender Mann was her usual prolific self in the national final, as UBC built a 2-0 lead at the half and went ahead 3-0 before Victoria scored its lone goal in the 61st minute. UBC replied with its fourth goal only two minutes later to complete the scoring. Waterloo and Guelph were the other teams in the tournament. Mann was happy to end her career at UBC on a winning note. She said there are plans for donations to be made in her dad’s memory at CIBC in support of Cowichan field hockey. Details are to be announced.

Eagles Hall: Saturday event will feature Shane Jung and Johnny (Two Feathers) Williams Don Bodger

Here’s the inside scoop: Riley Smith of the Royal Hurricanes tries to run with the ball down the sideline but her path is interrupted by Kyla Birch of the Yellow Lightning. Another indoor hockey league season got under way Sunday at the Island Savings Centre’s Multi-Purpose Hall.

romoters Wally Petrovic and Clinton Kovacs almost had to forget about staging Saturday’s November to Remember fight card. But some last-minute posturing saved the event and it’s a go-ahead Saturday at the Eagles Hall. The card will feature the valley’s power-packed pugilistic duo of Shane Jung and Johnny (Two Feathers) Williams. “It was a helluva time trying to get fighters,’’ said Petrovic. “No one across Canada wanted to fight Johnny or Shane.’’ Petrovic had three different guys potentially on the hook as opponents just last week, but none confirmed. He even tried the United States. “I’ve never had any problems

title fight. There was no such luck getting a title fight for Williams, but he’ll still be taking on Dillon Brown from Campbell River in a kickboxing contest. “It happened three days ago,’’ said Petrovic Tuesday. “I just couldn’t get anybody to fight. He (Brown) just stepped up.’’ The undercard will feature entertaining boxer Steven Thorne, young Stephen Najera in MMA, high school student Dylan McGregor in boxing, Ryan Charlie, Dale Gabriel and more. “There’s a bunch of local talent,’’ said Kovacs. There hasn’t been a local fight card for a few years so Petrovic is hoping it will gain sufficient support. General admission tickets will be available at the door for $40 apiece. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the action begins around 7.

Candy Crushers junior roller derby is seeking some new recruits. What’s being called a fresh meat practice is happening Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Cowichan Exhibition’s Mellor Hall. “We’re accepting new recruits and all that,’’ said Kelly Corby, one

of the Candy Crushers’ coaches. Co-ed skaters ages 6 to 18 are welcome and “we’ll bring extra skates so they can try them on, too,’’ said Corby. “Come check it out, try on some gear and skate.’’ Participants are asked to bring

Valley Paralympic skier knows no limitations

Braydon Luscombe: Team Canada spot for Paralympic Games in Sochi all but assured Greg Sakaki

Nanaimo News Bulletin

raydon Luscombe is at his fastest on one ski, hurtling down a hill. But when he comes back down from the mountain, he’s still active and athletic and ambitious and he needs his prosthetic leg to be able to keep up. “This whole business of prosthetics, it’s not just to get someone a leg so they can walk,” he said. “It’s so they can do absolutely everything they want to do, or need to do.” The 20-year-old aspiring Paralympian from Duncan has been going to Nanaimo’s B.D. Mitchell Prosthetic and Orthotic Services as long as he can remember. At age five, Luscombe lost his right leg to flesh-eating disease, a complication of an infection from chicken pox. He’s never allowed his handicap to hobble him. “Right from the beginning, he wanted to ride his bike to the beach and with the same leg, negotiate rocks down to the shoreline and go swimming and then get back on the bike,” said prosthetist Bryan Mitchell. So whether Luscombe was subjecting his artificial leg to salt water, or jarring the components, or busting a bearing, he was certainly getting every step’s worth. B.D. Mitchell has fitted him with six or seven prosthetic legs over the years, some more waterproof than others, some with titanium shocks, even one with flames painted on the side. “He always sort of maximized the potential of any prosthetics

that we could create for him,” Mitchell said. And Luscombe is still determining maximum potential. As a member of Canada’s para-alpine national team, he’s been getting faster and faster and is all but assured of skiing in the Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, this coming winter. The Games have been a dream for a long time, he said. Former Paralympic skier Gord Tuck, from Lake Cowichan, was a family friend and a childhood inspiration. Luscombe has always been comfortable on one ski — it’s the only way he’s ever known. It’s taken him to the world’s greatest ski resorts, down a mountain at 125 kilometres an hour, and in a few months, to a summit in Sochi. That thought has driven his training to new heights. He wants to know, when he’s at the top of

that hill, that he did everything he possibly could to be at his best. That’s meant practice, weight training, cycling and generally putting a whole lot of kilometres on his prosthetic leg. Luscombe never complains of limitations, said Mitchell, so the prosthetist tries to be proactive and look for ways to help his client improve performance. “Because he’s motivated, we’re motivated…” Mitchell said. “We’re proud to know that we’ve had the chance to work with him and we’re all rooting for him.” It’s the “ultimate dream,” Luscombe said, to go to the Paralympics and do well. “That’s what you’ve been working for … to wait for that minute you have on that course. It’s a huge buildup and if it produces something good, (it would be) a crazy good feeling.”

Unlike most forfeits when teams are shorthanded and know it well in advance, Cowichan coach Glen Martin didnâ€™t get the call until 6 p.m. â€” only an hour and a half before game time at the Ladysmith Turf. Gorge notified Martin it couldnâ€™t locate identification cards for the players. The league was also called and president Vince Greco informed Gorge it couldnâ€™t play without them. Martin was perplexed by what happened, but â€œeverybody knows the rules,â€™â€™ he said. ID cards must be presented to officials before every game for verification. â€œYou canâ€™t just put anybody on the field,â€™â€™ reasoned Martin. Gorge had apparently left its ID cards behind in the changeroom during a previous game at Victoriaâ€™s Finlayson Park.

National campaign urges our vets to wear their colours more often Not just one day to remember: National push asks vets to display badges and medals on Nov. 1 and Nov. 30 Mike D’Amour

News Leader Pictorial

national movement that asks Canadian veterans to identify themselves in public is looking for support from Cowichan vets. The campaign — dubbed

Veterans Among Us — asks veterans to put on their medals or insignia Nov. 1 and Nov. 30 each year. “There are about one million living veterans in Canada, that’s about one in every 35 of us,” organizer Jeff Rose-Martland recently told the Gazette, from his St. John’s Newfoundland home. “Remembrance Day is a somber affair, as it should be, but veterans don’t really get a chance to go out and say, “Look at me look what I did,’” he said. “At the same time we ask citizens to take a look around and see how many veterans you spot during the course of your day.”

The campaign began three years ago when Rose-Martland said he became angry at the government’s treatment of some veterans. “I was hearing stories about veterans being denied treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and, in some cases, being denied disability pensions once they were released,” the former radio announcer and — now stay-at-home dad — said. Rose-Martland said he and friends had been talking about gaps in understanding between the veteran and civilian communities and the fact that for many citizens, the mental image “of an old guy in a wheelchair” is what many envision when they hear the word ‘veteran.’ “But that doesn’t reflect the reality; the vast majority of veterans are much younger than that,” he said. That’s when Rose-Martland came up with the idea of having an awareness campaign, something simple everyone could do. “And that would be wearing your medals,” he said. “Then, of course, we realized not everyone had medals, so we broadened the scope a bit to include badges and insignia, anything that indicates you served in the Canadian forces or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.” Ron McKenzie, was in the Canadian Air Force from 1969 until 1982, and is now one of the 353 members of the Lake Cowichan Legion. “I think (the Veterans Among Us campaign)

A national campaign says we need to see these more often.

might be a good idea, but it’s not just the civilians you have to convince,” the 62-year-old said. “It’s the politicians in the federal government that seem to forget about us.” But fellow Legionnaire, Ed Salter, said he didn’t believe he would take part in wearing his medals on any other day but Nov. 11. “I wear them on Remembrance Day to remember those that I was with, and my father (who served in both the First and Second World Wars), and uncles,” said Salter, who did about 30 years in the military. First, he did six years in the army, starting in 1950, then an air force hitch that lasted 12 years, then another 11 with the coast guard. “For myself, to wear (medals) at any other time, well, I’d just feel out of place.” But, argues Rose-Martland, by participating in the campaign, veterans will help citizens understand veterans are male and female, from all parts of Canada’s cultural mosaic, and are all around them.

Exhibit honours family’s contributions

Cowichan Museum: Chaster family’s wartime history in showcase Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan’s Chaster family has the means for remembrance and to educate. And the public is the benefactor through a display provided by the family at the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives. The exhibit was unveiled Monday, with a framed document donated to the museum that depicts the military service of Chaster family members. “What I really like about what they did is just creating this record, this memory that a lot of people don’t do,’’ said museum curator Kathryn Gagnon. “Now when people come to the museum they will see this service of this whole family.’’ The document is displayed in the museum’s main gallery. “The framed document they created has been in the works for a while,’’ said Gagnon. “We thought November was a nice month to unveil it.’’

Don Bodger

Cowichan Valley Museum curator Kathryn Gagnon with the Chaster family display. The document was designed and assembled by Ruth Chaster and her nephew Bill Klausen. Numerous members of the Chaster family were in military service. Also on loan to the museum is the uniform worn by Ruth Chaster during her service in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1943 to 1946. She had hoped to be

assigned as a motor transport driver after completing basic training in the RCAF women’s division, but was required to remain in general duties. Older brothers provided the inspiration for Ruth to join the military, especially James Barry Chaster. He recounted a foggy night on Jan. 3, 1943 as a 21-yearold RCAF pilot when he flew a Lancaster airplane from the 207th squadron stationed near Nottingham. The plane was detected by a German Heinkel fighter plane and the pilot opened fire, causing heavy damage to the aircraft. Chaster stayed and attempted to fly the damaged aircraft back to England while his crew parachuted out of it. He encountered more machine gun fire that decimated the aircraft and forced him out of the plane, landing in Holland. Much more can be seen in the exhibit that forms the basis for a Chaster family tree, with genealogical records, photographs and first person accounts from the Chaster siblings. “It’s a marvelous record of a family’s life in the Cowichan Valley,’’ noted Gagnon. The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 16 at the museum, located in the Duncan Train Station, including Remembrance Day following the service at the cenotaph.

Remembrance Day symbol bloomed from poem

Poppies bloom: First ‘Poppy Day’ in 1921 Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

ith Remembrance Day fastapproaching and flashes of red popping up on collars, shirts and jacket pockets, let us go back to Nov. 11, 1921. This day was celebrated as the first official Legion Poppy Day and was held in Britain. But before folks began buying poppies to remember and support veterans, we have to thank a Canadian by the name of John McCrae and his artistic eye. “The Flanders poppy was first described as the ‘Flower of Remembrance’ by Colonel John McCrae who, before the First World War, was a wellknown professor of medicine at McGill University in Montreal,” explains an article on the Royal British Legion’s website. “He had previously served as

a gunner in the South African War, and at the outbreak of the First World War decided to join the fighting ranks. However, the powers-that-be decided his abilities could be used to better advantage, and so he landed in France as a Medical Officer with the first Canadian Army contingent.” And it was the second battle of Ypres in 1915, when in charge of a small first-aid post and during a lull in the action, McCrae wrote in pencil on a page from his dispatch book verses we all know so well. “In Flanders’ fields the poppies blow/Between the crosses, row on row...” he penned. The verses were sent anonymously to Punch magazine and published under the title In Flanders’ Fields. “In May 1918, Colonel McCrae was brought as a stretcher case to one of the big hospitals on the channel coast of France,” states the article. “On the third evening he was wheeled to the balcony of his room to look over the sea towards the cliffs of Dover. The verses were obviously in

Andrew Leong

The poppy is synonomous with war sacriﬁce thanks to In Flanders Fields. his mind, for he told the doctor who was in charge of his case: ‘Tell them this, If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep.’” That very same night McCrae died. The First World War finally came to an end in November, 1918 when an Armistice was declared. At 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, the last shot of the war was fired. Meanwhile, an American known as Miss Moina Michael picked up McCrae’s poem and was greatly impressed, particularly by the last verse.

“The wearing of a poppy appeared to her to be the way to keep faith,” stated the article. Only two days before the Armistice was signed, Michael was presented with a small gift of money by some of the overseas War Secretaries of the YMCA for whom she worked, and whose conference was being held at her house. “She told them about the two poems, and announced she was going to buy 25 red poppies with the money. It is claimed, probably rightly, that this was the first group selling of poppies.” The perennial flower’s tradition was also picked up by French secretary Madame Guerin. “She visited various parts of the world to suggest that artificial poppies should be made and sold to help ex-servicemen and their dependents in need. (And) as a result the first Poppy Day was held in Britain on (Nov. 11) 1921. The poppies were obtained from a French organization, which used profits to help children in the war-devastated areas.”

Cowichan journalist and soldier interviewed Hitler Lukin Johnston: The man called Rufus died mysteriously just a few days later

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

he colourful, tragic life of Lukin (Rufus) Johnston is the stuff movies are made of. Rufus’s two years as the Cowichan Leader’s editor (19111914) was but a small step in a stellar journalistic career that ended with this mysterious death on the North Sea in 1933 — just 36 hours after he interviewed Hitler. Chapters leading to redhead Rufus’ untimely demise at age 46, appear in Kelowna author Colin Castle’s biography Rufus: The Life of the Canadian Journalist Who Interviewed Hitler. “He was likely pitched into the north sea by a nasty little Nazi,” Castle, 77, said of the First World War Passchendaele veteran — noting there’s no evidence of the cause of death of the reporter written off by Britain’s leaders. “By then, Rufus was a colonial in

British eyes, so there was no enquiry; no one wanted to say anything about Hitler when people believed in his peaceful protestations.” But given global popularity of the B.C. newspaperman’s far-flung reportage, a follow-up about his end would have been big news. “It’s a tragedy this book wasn’t written when a lot of his readers were still alive,” Castle said of Rufus, holding photos and maps. “When he died his widow, (Bee) got 700 letters from his readers.” Rufus’ family included Castle’s Duncan-born father-in-law Derek Johnston; Rufus’ only son who died in 2009 at age 96. Castle and his wife, Val, coaxed information about Rufus out of an aged Johnston. Those facts complement a treasure trove of Rufus’ life — war journals, maps, clippings, letters — was squirreled away in Johnston’s basement. That stuff is a big basis of Castle’s towering book about his shirt-sleeve relative. “If the book had been written in the ‘30s, it would have sold huge editions but his family couldn’t stand opening the painful thing all over again — his

Lukin (Rufus) Johston disappearance was a helluva shock for them.” Maybe for Cowichanians too. “In those days smart Brits retired in the Cowichan Valley from the Indian army,” he said of well-heeled longstockings. “They had lots of money and bought big homes, including the Quamichan Inn. (Rufus) was an effective journalist dealing with everyman, but chummed around with the longstockings.” Rufus came to Canada in 1905, worked at some 26 jobs — singing and lumber mills to farming — before

Lest We Forget Please take time to remember

Province owner W.C. Nichol hired him as a reporter. After trying insurance, but still writing, Rufus landed his Leader job. In Duncan, he married English fiancee, Bee. “He makes Cowichan sound a like a heaven on Earth. It was also the most right-wing place in Canada when it came to racial politics.” At work, Rufus was outspoken about rich folks, such as Daily Colonist editor, Sam Matson. “Matson and others guys from Victoria invested in Lake Cowichan. They wanted to build a road out to the lake with public money, then sell their lots. Rufus thought this was not cool, and made a big noise.” So Matson hired Rufus as a Colonist news editor to protect his investments. Still, “Rufus made the Cowichan Leader into a pretty respectable little paper,” Castle said, noting later Leader editor Hugh Savage was Rufus’ buddy. First World War horrors on the front honed Rufus’ judgement about people. Firmed ethics also propelled him into post-war international postings, reporting for many Canadian papers, and abroad. more on B6

He penned books too, including Beyond The Rockies, and In England Today. By the early ‘30s Rufus was obsessed in writing about Europe’s growing war clouds. He finally interviewed the Fuhrer

in November 1933, then disappeared. “My biggest challenge was all my sources were in longhand, mostly written in blunt pencil. I spent a year transcribing them onto a computer.” It was a labour of love for the native Londoner.

Remembrance Day began as Armistice Day By decree: King orders annual eleventh-hour memorial across the British Empire Rolli Gunderson

News Leader Pictorial

n front of the cenotaph with three small children beside him stands an unknown Lake Cowichan Royal Canadian Legion member pausing before laying a wreath in memory of fallen comrades. Year after year this scene plays out in various Canadian cities and towns and throughout other countries in the world. It is a timeless scene that takes place each Nov. 11. It is a tradition that began nearly 100 years ago. With records from the Lake Cowichan Kaatza Station Museum and Archives, the laying of wreaths, delivering of prayers and observing two minutes of silence each Nov. 11 goes back 94 years, to Nov. 11, 1919 when the first Armistice Day (which in 1931 came to be known as Remembrance Day) took place across the entire British Empire after the end of the First World War. Just five days before the first officially

It was addressed to all the peoples of Canada.

Lockhart Industries would like to thank the following local businesses and people whose contributions for a proper PA system to ensure that all attending the Remembrance Day ceremony in Duncan can hear the service.

Lest we forget

“To my people, Tuesday next, Nov. 11 (1919) is the first anniversary of the armistice (end of war) which stayed the world wide carnage of the preceding four years and marked the victory and freedom. “I believe that my people in every part of the (British) Empire fervently wish to perpetuate the memory of that great deliverance and those who laid down their lives to achieve it. “To afford an opportunity for the universal expression of this feeling it is my desire and hope that at the hour when armistice came into force, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month there may be a brief space of two minutes silence, a complete suspension of all normal activities. “During that time, except in the rare cases where this might be impractical, all work, all sound and all locations should cease, so that in perfect stillness the thought of everyone in the British Empire may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead.” Each year on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month people gather at cenotaphs throughout the valley and do what was asked of them nearly 100 years ago.

Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

Your Veterinarian... your other Family Doctor Feral Cats

Gillian Wiley Veterinarian

The 2013 late Spring and the long hot summer weather has created a late burst of births in the feral cat colonies. Kittens are still being born to those wild cats and at this time of year they are not likely to survive the threats of cold weather and starvation without help. Help is available, however, and these kittens can be saved.

If you find very young kittens outdoors, do not leave them there. Pack them up, keep them warm, and take them to your nearest vet clinic, to be turned over to a rescue. Alternatively, contact a rescue society immediately or the Cowichan SPCA. Also if you have a feral cat hanging around your back yard or if you see kittens and cats congregating around dumpsters or

other such areas, call one of the cat rescues in our community. From the Malahat to Chemainus call Cowichan Cat Rescue at 250-743-6500 or see www.cowichancatrescue.org. In Lake Cowichan as far as Skutz Falls call Lake Cowichan Animal Rescue Society at 250-749-4040, or www.lakecowichananimalrescue.com

The Canadian choice: compact cars and compact SUVs So many cars to choose from, so few words available in this tight space! Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new Toyota believes and improved. this new Corolla can Today, I’ll just offer you five take the overall sales models to considcrown away from the er adding to your shopping list. Honda Civic.

2014 Mazda3

The compact car segment in Canada is the biggest by far, with over 20 percent of all vehicles sold. So, the introduction of the Mazda3 is important because it is currently the fourth best seller in this class. The outgoing car was already one of the best handling cars and now with

a lighter and sexier looking body, this new car is both eye catching and solid on the road. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets.

2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to use for the radio and backup cam-

era. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive.

2014 Volkswagen Golf

THE CAR YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE MAY END UP SAVING YOUR LIFE.

The 2014 Subaru Forester is the only small SUV to receive the top rating (“G/Good”) in every safety test issued by the IIHS.

2014 FORESTER 2.0XT LIMITED SHOWN

This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp, in the Canadian Model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price.

2014 Jeep Cherokee

LEASE/FINANCE

24 MOS., FROM

The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform

used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems.

2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With

this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7-passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Five fun and sporty cars at the right price transmission.

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started.

Toyota Corolla- starts at $15,995

Ford Fiesta ST- $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy because you’re having so much fun behind the wheel.

The Honda

Mazda3 Sport- starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focussed cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered. There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic

Yes, it’s like compete for the top automotive bread power specs, but can and butter; you certainly get the party always know you’re getting and it’s very started. predictable. But with Alexandra Straub a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is quiet and I’ll hand it Toyota for matching it with a CVT transmission that is just fabulous.

Kia Soul- starts at $16,995 Kia’s box-mobile continues to deliver strong sales despite angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

WITH THESE PRICES, OUR 2013s WON’T LAST LONG.

transmission- available on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic. It generates a healthy 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Either is a treat to drive with excellent urban or extra urban characteristics.

2014 Fiat 500L- starts at $19,995

answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic

Say Hy to Five New Hybrids ‘‘

Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties.

Bob McHugh

’’

There’s a new breed of hybrids hitting the streets that are closer in performance and price to their gasoline counterparts. Not only has the hybrid driving experience improved, lighter and more compact new battery technology takes away less cargo space and fuel economy is even better, especially with plug-in technology. Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties. These new hybrid examples are all entries for 2014 Canadian Car of the Year. The braking and acceleration stats are from the recent Testfest evaluation event.

Jetta Hybrid is not just the first Volkswagen hybrid; it’s the first hybrid with a turbocharged gas engine and a rapid-shift 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), instead of the usual CVT automatic. A compact lithium-ion battery pack also takes up less trunk space and even allows a pass-through feature (with fold-down rear seats) for longer items. Preserving Jetta’s sport-sedan qualities, the hybrid’s electric motor boosts powertrain performance and optimizes fuel economy. A clever “power meter” on the instrument panel translates what’s happening under-hood into an easy to understand driving efficiency gauge. Price: $28,490 to $35,300 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 4.4 L/100km

Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): Braking (100 to 0 km/hour):

9.0 seconds. 47.1 meters

Honda Accord Hybrid is the first full-hybrid from Honda. Its unique two-motor powertrain operates in three distinct driving modes in which the Atkinson cycle engine is completely de-coupled (EV) used as an electrical generator (Hybrid) or drives the wheels (Engine). The result is incredibly good fuel economy, considering this is a fully equipped (including leather and nav), big sedan. The under-hood powertrain gymnastics are barely discernible inside the cabin. Price: $35,690 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 3.8 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 8.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 46.3 meters The new Energi version of the Ford CMAX is a plug-in hybrid, which means it can be plugged into the electrical outlet to recharge its battery. Stored e-power pulled from the grid allows it to be driven further (about 34 km) in a pure electric-vehicle mode. Depending on everyday driving demands, CMAX Energi could actually function as an electric vehicle for many urban owners. A functional tall, wagon that can seat five, the rear seatbacks in the CMAX Energi also fold flat to expand the cargo space. Price: $36,999 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 3.1 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 8.9 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 43.0 meters The hybrid version of the new Infiniti Q50 offers 354 net horsepower making it a high-performance sport sedan. Impressive propulsion

comes from the combined efforts of a 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy V6 gas engine and a 50 kW electric motor that’s rated at 67 horsepower, plus an innovative one-motor/two-clutch motor control system. The Q50 Hybrid is available in both rear-wheel drive and what Infiniti calls Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Precise handling is provided by its 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension and an innovative Direct Adaptive Steering with five handling modes. Price: $47,000 to $49,500 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 7.0 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.8 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 42.8 meters The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid is a four-door, four seat supercar with a lavishly luxurious interior. The “e” denotes that it’s a plug-in hybrid and it has more than double the electrical power (95 horsepower) of its hybrid predecessor, plus a new li-ion battery pack. Its electric-only driving range is 18 to 36 km and it has a top speed of 135 km/hour in e-drive. Stomp on the gas pedal and a 416-horsepower, 3.0-litre V6 gas engine bursts into action and the G-forces can pin you to the seatback. Top speed is now 270 km/hour, but mercifully the brakes (regenerative) are even more powerful at bringing the Panamera S e-Hybrid quickly to a halt. Price: $113,300 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 6.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.4 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 37.7 meters bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement over last year with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3L V6, 5.3l v8, and the 6.2l V8. With so many changes and enhancements to this vehicle you will really have to wait for my full review on this vehicle in the coming weeks to get the complete picture.

2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost. With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. This truck holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer.
