Emergency crews mop up and investigate after putting out a fire Tuesday morning on a fishing boat moored in Cowichan Bay. [PAUL BRIAN/CITIZEN]
Fire crews quickly douse boat blazePAUL BRIAN CITIZEN
The Cowichan Bay Fire Depart-ment responded to a call for a fire at a boat moored at Govern-ment Wharf in Cowichan Bay around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday mor-ning .
The fire department reported there were no occupants on board the Arctic Fox II and
the f ire was successfully extinguished.
“It was smoke showing from a vessel at Government Wharf. When I arrived on scene there were two individuals at the boat,” said Cowichan Bay fire chief Charles Brown.
“One putting water through the window that you can see in the background that had broke
up,” he added.Crews then came to the help
of these individuals and put out the fire.
“We proceeded to run a two-and-a-half-inch supply line down the docks and the crew went inside and extinguished the fire,” Brown said, adding that crews searched the vessel and found nobody on board.
John Vogelaar, whose boat Double Decker is moored across from the Arctic Fox II, said both are for tuna fishing.
“It’s used for tuna in the sum-mer. These are both tuna boats,” he explained.
Brown said there was not yet an estimate of damages.
T h e c a u s e i s u n d e r investigation.
Domestic violence programs get $120KROBERT BARRON CITIZEN
Three aboriginal organizations in Duncan will share $120,000 in provincial funding for programs dealing with domestic violence.
The Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation is providing $310,000 to seven aboriginal organizations on Van-couver Island for culture-based domestic violence programs.
Jane Sterk, executive director of the Cowichan Women Against Violence Society, said with the high number of domestic vio-lence incidents in the region, which has a large aboriginal population, the announcement is “good news.”
“In fact, this area has the high-est level of domestic violence in the province and only Abbotsford ties us on this issue,” Sterk said.
“The aboriginal population here is about 11 per cent of the total, and they face the traditional problems of poverty, poor hous-ing and a lack of job opportun-ities that can sometimes lead to domestic violence problems.”
In fact, aboriginal women are almost three times more likely to be victims of intimate part-ner violence than non-aboriginal women, according to government statistics.

Rainbow Island is now safe in the hands of the Cowichan Land Trust.
Chemainus naturalist Carol Milo donated the island in Quamichan Lake to the Land Trust, which has made a commitment to protect the island in its natural state for the benefit of current and future gen-erations of all life.
“This is a wonderful example of someone valuing nature for itself and not for human use,” Land Trust president Jim Ayers said.
Milo purchased Rainbow Island from Rev. Dr. John Sandys-Wun-sch, a retired Anglican priest and professor of theology who lived in Victoria. Sandys-Wunsch, who grew up on Maple Bay Road and went to high school in Duncan, fre-quently rowed in Quamichan Lake. In 1956, he saw a “for sale” sign on the island and bought it for $20. Aside from the occasional visit, he never did anything with the island. Sandys-Wunsch died last September at the age of 79.
Rainbow Island is home to many birds and animals. Last summer, Milo and Land Trust workers put nesting boxes on the island for purple martins. Joining the Land Trust in protecting the island are
the Quamichan Stewardship Soci-ety and the Municipality of North Cowichan. “I hope this donation will complement the work of the Quamichan Stewards in protecting and restoring the health of the lake,” Milo said.
The Cowichan Land Trust cele-brated its 20th anniversary last year. In that time, it has worked to protect the Cowichan Valley through educa-tion, land acquisition, conservation covenants (like the one with North Cowichan and the Quamichan Stew-ards to manage Rainbow Island) and community stewardship projects.
Other land-acquisition projects the Land Trust has been involved in include the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, the Holland Creek Trail Corridor in Ladysmith, and Sansum Point Regional Park.
Educational activities include landowner contact programs, the Watershed Warriors, support for Streamkeeper programs, and the creation of the Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre. Current commun-ity programs include the Friends of Cowichan Creeks project and the Marvelous Marshes wetland project.
For more information about the Cowichan Land Trust or to get involved, visit www.cowichan-landtrust.ca or call 250-746-0227.

Council addressed a report last Wed-nesday on whether or not to authorize remedial action on the Joan Avenue site of the Twin Gables Motel in Crofton.
Council voted unanimously to allow the dilapidated buildings to continue as they are, noting that bracing has been sufficient for structural stability thus far as assessed by an engineer. Prop-erty owner Blaine Mersereau will be required to have a follow-up inspection and approval complete within the next year on the waterfront building and the adjacent former office/owners’ resident/motel unit building.
The buildings are braced and boarded
up, and North Cowichan staff expressed a moderate degree of certainty that lia-bility for any injury which could occur by someone trespassing into the derelict site would not rest with the municipality.
Prior to council’s decision Mersereau made a presentation to council about his future plans for his proposed Crof-ton Quay site, which include building possible rental accommodations, a cafe and a marina.
Mersereau will require a plan to dispose of contaminated soil at the shoreline before parts of his plan can be approved provincially and municipally. A develop-ment permit from the municipality can only be granted after Mersereau has obtained a provincial approval.
Buildings to stay, but conditions set

Rental fees and whether the Cowichan Valley Soccer Association will have to pay them at the David Williams Field hit the council table last Wednesday.
David Williams Field is the new syn-thetic turf field at Sherman Road Park, finished last year.
The municipality would collect the fees to assist in the offset of operating and establishing a capital replacement reserve.
The CVSA has requested that because of their $300,000 contribution to the muni-cipality, the youth rentals for the facility be exempted for a period of 10 years. This would represent $30,000 per year in rental fees.
“It was never my understanding that there was going to be some kind of quid pro quo,” said Coun. Al Siebring, with May-or Jon Lefebure clarifying that it wasn’t a conditional or quid pro quo, but rather a separate request.
Nonetheless concerns remained.
“Why should North Cowichan taxpayers pay for providing a luxury field?” asked Coun. Joyce Behnsen after reading from a letter sent by residents who had disrup-tions and unauthorized parking in and near their driveway near the field.
“It’s a tricky one, it sort of takes away from the original deal,” added Coun. Maeve Maguire.
Director of Parks and Recreation Ernie Mansueti said it was always the plan to charge fees, which in his estimation were modest and fair compared to those of sim-ilar municipalities.
“It was always our intention to charge fees for this field,” he said, adding sug-gested fees would be “some of the lowest around.”
Council passed a motion to refer the mat-ter back to staff to consider other options and fully analyze fee arrangements in similar situations before making a revised recommendation to council. The motion passed six to one, with Coun. Tom Walker the sole opposed.

Battling serious illness is a personal strain on individuals and their families, but it can also lead to real financial difficulty.
Cowichan Valley resident Linda Moore, who recently was honoured with a Mr. Mikes Steak-houseCasual Deeds Well Done award (“Mr. Mike’s honours Linda Moore’s deeds”), has stage four colon cancer as well as other tumours that have been discovered, and is in financial need as she prepares for major surgery.
In addition to her stage four cancer, tests have shown two more tumours including spots on her liver and uterine damage. Moore recently com-pleted chemotherapy and is preparing for major surgery to remove much of her colon and get rid of the tumours. Moore will also require a hyster-ectomy and additional procedures.
Moore’s friend Paula Agnew, who also nomin-ated her for the Mr. Mike’s award, said recovery from the surgery will be six to eight weeks and noted that various serious problems may also crop up after the surgery, in part due to a heart condition Moore suffers from. Both of Moore’s daughters have taken time off work to help her and the family could use a little financial support during the difficult process.
“She will still have a long road to recovery and cure. Due to all of this she has had to take medic-
al leave from work, which has left her with a very limited income,” Agnew said. “I am hoping as a community that we can come together and help ease some of her financial burden.”

The Municipality of North Cowichan is con-tinuing to explore the idea of amalgamation with the City of Duncan.
Coun. Maeve Maguire, asked for an update at the Jan. 20 council meeting.
North Cowichan CAO said he’s assigned a staff-er to contact the City of Duncan to schedule a meeting to set up the terms of reference.
Maguire then wanted to know if March 31 was still the timeline to report back to a joint meeting of both councils.
Devana called that “a reasonable timeline” but cautioned that the two elected bodies have “not even agreed on the scope of the work” yet.

Splitting proposal comes from top down
About 20 years ago as a school trustee I had my motion to declare Chemainus, Cowichan High and Francis Kelsey as three campuses of one high school and it was approved by the board. That would allow students to take classes to get the courses they want in any or all three schools as there were not all the same options at each; hospitality at Francis Kelsey, trades at Cowichan High and good performing arts at Chemainus. This was at no cost to the board.
If the student could schedule their program and get from one school to the other it was allowed. They could ride a bus only if space was not used by regular catchment students. No additional buses were available.
This new proposal seems to come from the top down with little input from those that count. In order it should be: stu-dents, parents, then the board. Superintendents are CEOs, and their job may be to advise, but to implement and manage the board’s position is their real job.
In all things as a trustee I demanded to know how a proposal “would benefit the students” — financial benefits came second and only if it had no detrimental impact on the students. This new proposal deserves long and open discus-sion by all stakeholders includ-ing students.

Letter disregards well being of workers
In response to Amanda Mar-chand’s letter regarding the Catalyst Mill’s pollution, I have three points to make.
Firstly Ms. Marchand does not have to live near to the smoke stack. The mill has been here for decades, probably way before Ms. Marchand chose her home.
Secondly, I would like to know more about the Halalt Nation’s vision that “involves solid think-ing about jobs...and the econ-omy”. Just how do they plan to replace what is probably the big-gest employer in the Cowichan Valley?
Thirdly, I am sure the hun-dreds of workers who lose their livelihood if the mill closes will
be relieved to know that they can comb local beaches for untainted shellfish to feed their children.
I have no connection to the Catalyst mill whatsoever but I am astonished by the narrow vision and utter disregard for the well being of local people who work at Catalyst expressed in Amanda Marchand’s letter.

Election numbers reality check
Mr. Sawchuk needs a reality check on his assertion that Rachel Notley and the NDP did
not win the Alberta election. His “facts and reality” are anything but. His vaunted Tories had the following results in the general elections for Canada for the Harper era:
• 2006 — minority government with 36.3 per cent of the vote.
• 2008 — minority government with 37.65 per cent of the vote.
• 2011 — majority government with 39.62 per cent of the vote
Rachel Notley and the NDP won in Alberta with 40.6 per cent of the vote, a better result than any by Harper’s Tories.

We’re all for developing neighbourhood shop-ping that people can
walk to.This can help to create more
self-sustaining neighbourhoods with better cohesion. Just ask anyone who has ever lived in a bedroom suburb where most of the residents do everything in their lives somewhere else — often people don’t even know the first thing about their neighbours.
It can also help get people the heck out of their cars and walking, which is good for the environment, neighbourhoods,
and people’s general health.So when we heard that there
was potential for a commercial development at Berkey’s Corner, we were optimistic.
We remain so, even if there clearly are many logistics to be worked out, and serious con-sideration needs to be given to making it pedestrian friendly rather than a car magnet.
People who object to the development because there’s already a lot of unused retail space in the Duncan area have a good point. We don’t like to see those long-empty storefronts at Cowichan Commons or in down-
town Duncan or at Duncan Mall.But many of those spaces that
remain unused are big, really big, and that makes a key differ-ence in the kind of tenant they can attract.
It sounds as if the Berkey’s Corner development is not con-sidering putting in big boxes — we would definitely be against any such move.
It sounds more like they are looking at putting in businesses that have the chance to thrive off of customers primarily liv-ing in the local area.
There are a few local business-es already located adjacent to
the proposed development site, so it seems an organic way to develop, rather than scattering commercial businesses through the residential section.
The sports fields located right there also represent a poten-tial customer base, as does the school.
Some types of businesses have already been restricted by North Cowichan council and will not be able to be part of the development.
There is still a lot of contro-versy about some other types, most notably the idea of a drive-through restaurant or coffee
shop locating there, and we’re on the fence about this one.
Drive-throughs are idling fac-tories in a community, and also work against the whole idea of getting people out of their vehi-cles to use the local shopping centre. There are also very real concerns about traffic.
A potential gas station is also obviously targeting drivers.
We believe that much should be done with this development to encourage people to get out of their cars.
We hope the municipality, and the developer keep this in mind as they move forward.
Berkey’s proposal can be neighbourhood hubOUR VIEW

Splitting high school would take away choice
Re: Cowichan high school split-ting into academic Cow High and arts based Quamichan, taking choices away from students and parents.
In a long line of bad decisions by our past and present trustees/board of education, this has to be the worst.
There is absolutely no need for an arts-based high school. Stu-dents already have every choice of pursuing arts outside of school in the Cowichan Valley. School is the only place available to learn academics.
In the past much money was spent on free busing to any school of choice, yet there were not even enough (old, not new) textbooks for each student, never mind online access, class websites or computers for students like many, many B.C. schools have. That is still the case in classrooms today.
Cowichan high school is the only school in Canada that has a high-way for a hallway. Parents and students did not get a choice; the
students at Quamichan were made to attend classes at Cowichan high school.
The board of education/trustees have made it eminently clear they do not care about student safety or academic achievement. Forcing approximately half of the high school into a non-academic arts high school is taking away the ability of half of the students to continue on to university. This is taking away choice, not giving choice.

The Hiilye’yu Lelum Friendship Centre will receive $70,000 for its Parenting After Violence program, a parenting course for dads that have perpetrated violence in the past, and for a drop-in group for dads that offers emotional support and community building.
The Tsewulhtun Health Centre will
receive $25,000 for its Turning Stones pro-ject that focuses on a holistic approach to support healing for the entire family.
Cowichan Tribes will receive $25,000 for its Healthy Relationships program that brings awareness and understanding of domestic violence to people experiencing abuse.
Cpl. Krista Hobday, a spokeswoman for the North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP,
acknowledged that domestic vio-lence is a “significant issue” in the Duncan area. She said the detach-ment has established a domestic violence unit that deals with cases in the area.
“We see any funding from the government to help the community deal with this issue as a good invest-ment,” Hobday said.
Don McRae, the MLA for Comox Valley, said that ensuring aborig-inal families have proper access to anti-domestic violence services is an urgent priority.
“This funding helps address that priority by supporting the outstand-ing aboriginal communities and organizations on the Island that are working hard to end domestic violence,” he said.

Cowichan Intercultural Society spokes-person Lynn Weaver told North Cowichan council Jan. 20, “It looks like our commun-ities will receive 10-12 refugee families.”
She was speaking to council because the Society hoped for some financial help to ensure that the newcomers felt welcome.
Efforts are already underway to bring the families here but there’s more, she said.
“A public awareness campaign is also important. We need strong support from the municipalities and cities in the area,” Weaver said.
She suggested print ads and billboards to help raise awareness about the facts, because some people still need educating about the refugee situation.
“The only urgency is we might not receive government-assisted refugees if we wait,” Weaver said.
Coun. Joyce Behnsen said she was not in favour of seeing municipal funds going
towards billboards.“They are not an effective use of funds.
I want a more directed use of funds,” she said.
Weaver replied, “Core services are already in place. It’s public awareness that’s needed.”
Mayor Jon Lefebure was surprised she was mentioning it.
“I haven’t heard a single negative about us bringing in refugees. I wonder if there really is a need for a myth-busting cam-paign,” he said.
“Apparently there is apprehension out there,” Weaver said. “People who see new-comers as competition for jobs and servi-ces. It’s hard to quantify but we all benefit the more we can raise awareness about immigration in general.”
North Cowichan council voted at their Feb. 3 meeting to give the Society $1,000 to support their refugee work.
Cowichan Intercultural Society has a $7,000 fundraising goal.

Pacific Timber Supply Area – Information Package Available for Review and Comment
Members of the public are invited to review and provide comments on the Timber Supply Review information package for the Pacific Timber Supply Area (TSA). The Pacific TSA covers roughly 698,000 ha and is composed of 30 Blocks — ranging in size from 76 ha - 405,000 ha — on Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, the Mainland Coast and the Douglas Channel.
The information package provides a general description and brief history of the TSA, and a draft of data that will be applied to the upcoming timber supply analysis. The timber supply analysis provides the province’s Chief Forester with information required to determine the allowable annual cut (AAC) — the maximum volume of timber to be harvested from the TSA — for the next 10 years.
The Chief Forester will consider public and First Nations input, and other information required under the Forest Act when a new AAC is determined.
Copies of the Pacific TSA information package are available online: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/bcts/areas/tsg/tsg-tsr.htm or at the following Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations District locations: (Please call ahead to arrange an appointment.)

They were just in time for dinner. As Chief Factor James Douglas was
punctual, they’d had no choice but to enter the dining hall as they were. Later Douglas, who enjoyed stimulat-ing conversation with his meals, asked Benson why so many HBCo. men were bald. He obviously expected a medical answer.
Instead, Benson replied, they’d sent their furs home! Douglas, who disap-proved of Benson’s political leanings, wasn’t amused and banished him to the Columbia River in the junior
Helmcken’s place. Nanaimo was Benson’s next assign-
ment; he’d take his leave of the fur company there, to become the surgeon for the Vancouver Coal Co. before opening his own practice and investing in coal mine development. When he retired to the Old Country in 1862 it was as a highly respected and liked Nanaimo resident. His friend, Capt. George Richards, RN, had compli-mented him by naming Mount Benson in 1859. Benson Island in Barkley Sound and Benson Creek in Welling-ton district also honour this eccentric pioneer.
Historians remember Dr. A.R. Benson for his role of returning officer in the June 1859 election to the provincial legislature. Capt. John Swanson, the only candidate, was elected by a major-ity of one — by Capt. C.E. Stuart, the only registered voter.
Earlier this month it was announced that Mount Benson Regional Park, only a portion of which actually is mountaintop, is finally to be protected from further logging by a conservation covenant, 10 years after its acquisition as parkland.

Pacific Timber Supply Area – Information Package Available for Review and Comment
Members of the public are invited to review and provide comments on the Timber Supply Review information package for the Pacific Timber Supply Area (TSA). The Pacific TSA covers roughly 698,000 ha and is composed of 30 Blocks — ranging in size from 76 ha - 405,000 ha — on Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, the Mainland Coast and the Douglas Channel.
The information package provides a general description and brief history of the TSA, and a draft of data that will be applied to the upcoming timber supply analysis. The timber supply analysis provides the province’s Chief Forester with information required to determine the allowable annual cut (AAC) — the maximum volume of timber to be harvested from the TSA — for the next 10 years.
The Chief Forester will consider public and First Nations input, and other information required under the Forest Act when a new AAC is determined.
Copies of the Pacific TSA information package are available online: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/bcts/areas/tsg/tsg-tsr.htm or at the following Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations District locations: (Please call ahead to arrange an appointment.)

They were just in time for dinner. As Chief Factor James Douglas was
punctual, they’d had no choice but to enter the dining hall as they were. Later Douglas, who enjoyed stimulat-ing conversation with his meals, asked Benson why so many HBCo. men were bald. He obviously expected a medical answer.
Instead, Benson replied, they’d sent their furs home! Douglas, who disap-proved of Benson’s political leanings, wasn’t amused and banished him to the Columbia River in the junior
Helmcken’s place. Nanaimo was Benson’s next assign-
ment; he’d take his leave of the fur company there, to become the surgeon for the Vancouver Coal Co. before opening his own practice and investing in coal mine development. When he retired to the Old Country in 1862 it was as a highly respected and liked Nanaimo resident. His friend, Capt. George Richards, RN, had compli-mented him by naming Mount Benson in 1859. Benson Island in Barkley Sound and Benson Creek in Welling-ton district also honour this eccentric pioneer.
Historians remember Dr. A.R. Benson for his role of returning officer in the June 1859 election to the provincial legislature. Capt. John Swanson, the only candidate, was elected by a major-ity of one — by Capt. C.E. Stuart, the only registered voter.
Earlier this month it was announced that Mount Benson Regional Park, only a portion of which actually is mountaintop, is finally to be protected from further logging by a conservation covenant, 10 years after its acquisition as parkland.

A fascinating look at prison food in British Columbia in 1898For prisoners
sentenced to hard labour, supper con-sisted of one pint of gruel and eight ounces of bread per day!
Recently we looked at the regulations
governing the management of B.C.’s prisons in 1898. We’re not quite done. This week we’ll look at the “scale of dietaries for use in provincial gaols”.
In other words, the govern-ance of what prisoners were fed while serving their regu-lar sentences or with hard labour...
1. No beer or wine, or fer-mented or spiritous liquors of any kind shall be allowed to prisoners, or permitted with-in the Gaol, unless specially ordered by the Gaol Surgeon, such order to be recorded in his Journal, together with the name of the prisoner for whom the article is ordered.
2. No smoking shall be allowed, nor shall any tobac-co be permitted in the Gaol, except by the order of the Gaol Surgeon, such order to be recorded in his Journal, together with the name of the prisoner to whom the privilege is allowed.
3. No food of any kind shall be sold by any Gaol Officer to a prisoner, or by one prisoner to another; nor shall any Gaol officer have any pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in any food, clothing or other articles sup-plied to the prison-
ers; nor shall any Gaol Officer, or any member of his family, use any of the Gaol stores except for heating, lighting or cleaning the house or quarters allotted to him.
4. The Gaol dietaries shall be divided into two scales, viz:
For prisoners awaiting trial, or under sentence with hard labour for a term of 30 days or under, where the labour is done in ordinary Gaol work.
For prisoners sentenced with hard labour for a term of over 30 days, and the labour con-sists of cutting wood, breaking stones or in extra-mural.
5. The dietary under the fore-going scale shall be as follows:
SCALE NO. 1. Breakfast. One pint of gruel (made from oat-meal or Indian corn meal) and eight ounces of bread every morning.
Dinner. Five ounces of smoked meat (without bone), eight ounces of bread and eight ounces of potatoes on
three days of the week. Eight ounces of bread, one pound of potatoes and one pint of gruel on two days of the week. One pint of soup and eight ounces of bread on two days in the week.
Supper. One pint of gruel and eight ounces of bread every night.
SCALE NO. 2. Breakfast. One pint of gruel, eight ounces of bread and one pint of pea cof-fee, sweetened with molasses or brown sugar, every morning.
Dinner. Six ounces of cooked meat (without bone), eight ounces of bread and eight ounces of potatoes on each day that hard labour is per-formed; otherwise Scale No. 1 to be followed.
Supper. One pint of gruel and eight ounces of bread every night.
6. The oatmeal gruel shall contain two ounces of oatmeal to every pint of water, and the Indian cornmeal gruel two and a quarter ounces to the pint; the soup shall contain three ounces of cooked meat to the pint, and the usual quantity of vegetables, with pepper and salt. Pork may be used once a week instead of beef, but one ounce less in weight must be given than is named in the different scales; fish may also be substituted for beef once a
week, in which four ounces more must be given than is named in the different scales; and all prisoners shall be allowed at their meals as much good water and salt as they desire.
7. Prisoners under the care of the Gaol Surgeon shall be allowed such diet as he may direct, his instruc-tions in this respect to be entered in his Journal for the guidance of the Gaoler.
8. The food supplies shall be care-fully weighed or measured when delivered out for use, and the Gaol-er shall enter the weight or quan-tity in the Account Book, and he shall exercise the greatest care, so as to insure that all food supplied
to the prisoners shall be of good quality and of the proper weight or measure.
9. The Gaoler shall receive and examine all articles of food and other supplies, and shall carefully weigh or measure the same, and shall enter the weight or measure-ment and the price in the Account Book.
10. The cooking of the food and the washing of clothes and bed-ding shall be done by a prisoner or prisoners, under the supervision of the Gaoler.

Mozart’s Requiem, Ave Verum Corpus, and Jupiter Symphony No. 41 will fill the Christian Reformed Church with fabulous music Satur-day, Feb. 20 as the Cowichan Consort Orchestra and Choir presents a blockbuster con-cert starting at 7:30 p.m.
Featured soloists are Sarah Vardy, soprano, Anna Tamm-Relyea, mezzo-sop-rano, Ted Rhodes, tenor, and Gary Relyea, bass.
The internationally known Relyeas were also featured in last year’s Consort pres-entation, Elijah. Both have
semi-retired from their busy operatic and teaching careers to Victoria.
Rhodes, who is from the Valley, will join them on stage again this time and Vardy will arrive from a busy opera/vocal schedule off the Island, performing for the first time with the Consort.
Mozart’s Requiem was fea-tured in the movie Amadeus and is a stirring piece that Mozart wrote near the end of his life. There is a mystery to its finishing touches as Moz-art died while he was still completing it for a patron, according to Consort publi-cist, Joy Ann Bannerman.
“The Jupiter Symphony is a wonderful work, named for the planet Jupiter because of the ‘grandeur scope’ it has. The beautiful Ave Verum Corpus is a familiar piece with many members of choirs, ensembles, bands, and is a touching, moving composition,” she said.
Tickets are $15 for adults
and $10 for students and chil-dren. Get them from Volume One Bookstore in Duncan or at the door.
Refreshments will be offered during intermission.
As well, according to Ban-nerman, there will be a table for donations for mov-ie theme pieces for the Con-sort’s May 7 concert, where audience members can choose and contribute to the costs of musical selections for that show, Music from the Cinema, with choirs from École Mt. Prevost and Cob-ble Hill Elementary singing along with the Consort Choir and Orchestra.

It won’t happen to me, say driversTIM SCHEWE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
Have you ever met anyone who would admit to being less than a better than average driver? Those of us who are
completely honest may say so but our behav-iour behind the wheel could indicate different-ly. It’s called optimism bias and it is something that we are all affected by. We are all optimis-tic about our personal capabilities and that includes our driving skills.
We’ve had lots of experience driving (that traffic ticket was the cop making a quota), we’ve never been involved in a crash (that fender bender was pretty minor and won’t happen again) and all of those bad things that we hear about involve other drivers (they’re the ones that need to pay attention and drive safely). So, sure, we can cut corners a little by exceeding the speed limit (crash risk increases 10 times at 25 km/h over), sending a couple of text messages (crash risk increases 20 times), or having a couple of drinks before we leave (crash risk at least double). It’s pretty clear that the problem isn’t us and our optimism bias will allow us to discount the risk until something really does happen that shows us otherwise.
Remember ICBC telling us that driver educa-tion for new drivers didn’t improve their crash risk outcomes? Overconfidence is not a good thing when you are learning new skills and it appears that the knowledge gained led to some thinking that they were more skillful drivers than they really were. The driving skills train-ing alone did not contribute to a reduction in crash risk. Stressing accountability for errors could be more beneficial here.
Making a change in risk perception and driv-er attitude can overcome our optimism bias, but it is not a simple task. Impaired driving is a good example of this. During my lifetime, the attitude of making it a contest to get home after drinking has changed to either limiting your consumption or arranging for a desig-nated driver. However, I also know that it is not difficult to find an impaired driver on our highways today. We still have a long way to go instilling responsibility in road users today.
Tim Schewe is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca
The bad drivers are everyone else, not us. [CITIZEN FILE]

THE HONOURABLE JUDITH GUICHON, OBC Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia
Government House 1401 Rockland Avenue
Victoria, British Columbia V8S 1V9
www.ltgov.bc.ca
The Honourable Judith Guichon was sworn-in as the 29th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia on November 2, 2012. Prior to this appointment she owned and operated Gerard Guichon Ranch Limited in the Nicola Valley in the British Columbia Interior. The Guichon family has ranched in the area since 1878 and Her Honour’s father-in-law was awarded the Order of Canada in 1974 for his leadership in Cattleman’s Associations and his contribution to agriculture in Canada. Two of her four children now manage the ranch with a 700 head cow calf and 700 yearling operation. Her Honour studied Holistic Management, a farming method which promotes sustainable management of livestock by emphasizing their natural habitat. Along with her late husband, commercial pilot Lawrence Guichon, she introduced Holistic Management to the ranchers of British Columbia.
Her Honour was also involved in several organizations. She served on the local hospital board and Community Health Council and was on the Community Health Foundation board. Prior to this, she served as a 4-H Leader and started a recycling society in Merritt, B.C. with neighbours. She also served as a director for the Fraser Basin Council of B.C., director of the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C., member of the Nicola Water Use Management planning committee and played the flute in the Nicola Valley Community Band. Prior to her term as Lieutenant Governor, Her Honour served on the Provincial Task Force on Species at Risk and completed a two-year term as the president of the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association. She has also been a part of the Ranching Task Force for B.C. and the British Columbia Agri-Food Trade Advisory Council. Born in Montreal, Quebec, and raised on a farm near Hawkesbury, Ontario, Her Honour moved to British Columbia in 1972. She and her husband, Bruno Mailloux, maintain a residence in the Nicola Valley.

Music legends together in Chemainus showPAUL BRIAN CITIZEN
Imagine the greatest musical icons of a generation coming together to create magic.
It’s a good description of Million Dollar Quartet, a performance running from Feb. 12 to March 26 at the Chemainus Theatre, which traces the moment Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins converged together to record on Dec. 4, 1956.
“It’s a compelling story and compelling music,” said Director Mark DuMez. “I’m actually kind of gobsmacked by the kind of talent that our players have, but also how it reflects the talent of those four indi-viduals who gathered in Memphis in 1956.”
Million Dollar Quartet tells the true story of how Cash, Lewis, Presley and Perkins ended up in Memphis in 1956 playing music together. This first and only red-hot jam session led to the creation of many fan favourites, including Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, Great Balls of Fire, Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On, Hound Dog and more.
“It takes the original event and asks ‘what if?’ It kind of plays and expands what might have happened between the takes. There’s actually a nice story inside of it as well; it’s not just music,” DuMez said of the two-hour show.
It also takes a look at music business great Sam Phillips and his connection to all the stars.
“You get this great story of Sam Philips and his rise and the meeting of all these guys, and then their contractual stuff that’s coming up on that day,” DuMez explained.
The show also includes the character of
Diane, Presley’s new girlfriend who he is taking to visit his family when he swings by the studio, a bass player and drummer who are based on Perkin’s brother, and Fluke, who used to drum for Cash.
DuMez said the theatre has been looking at putting on Million Dollar Quartet for several years and did pre-preparation all through 2015 before starting rehearsals in January of this year.
“There’s the pre-production phase and then there’s the rehearsal phase where all the actors and musicians come togeth-er,” DuMez explained, adding that the cast comes from across Canada as well as locally from Vancouver Island. “It’s an amalgam of really great, talented people.”
The show interweaves the story with a lot of music, all played live by the actors and actresses, who are also talented musicians.
“We go through a lot of the standards that these guys sang as they laid down tracks for Sam Phillips and then in between the takes you get a little bit of the drama of how their relationship with each other and Phillips evolved over their time together,” DuMez said. “Then you also get flashbacks as to how Phillips found them, when they were first discovered,” he added.
DuMez said perfecting clean transitions between the music and drama has been one key to making this a superb show.
“It’s also working with the actor to make them understand the stakes involved in the scene work as well as the story involved in the song,” DuMez said. “We’ve brought in a dialect coach, we’ve brought in a movement coach. So we’re trying to find lots of ways to support their work as these guys who were so much bigger than
life but were also real people.” Million Dollar Quartet is a chance to get
a look at a once-in-a-generation musical collaboration that will always live on for fans, then and now.
“It really was a unique event and it was never repeated with those stars,” DuMez said. “The music is phenomenal, they’re all so skilled. I haven’t seen anyone move as fast on the keys as Monty (Montgom-ery Björnson) is doing with Jerry Lee, and Daniel Kosub’s killing the Perkins licks. And the sound when these guys get together is just really tight.”
DuMez noted that as Million Dollar Quar-tet comes off Broadway, with performance rights only starting to be granted this year, Chemainus will be one of the first to pro-duce it.
“I know tickets are moving fast,” he said. “We’re one of the first to be able to pro-duce it since it’s come off its Broadway run and tour, so I would recommend you get in sooner rather than later, because I think the show’s going to have a lot of hop.”
For tickets call the Chemainus Theatre at 1-800-565-7738 or visit their website at www.chemainustheatrefestival.ca.

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
Follow Alice into Wonderland as Queen Margaret’s School’s young actors take on that fantastic world Feb. 18, 19 and 20.
The school is producing Karen Hart-man’s Alice: Tales of a Curious Girl, bringing the audience on an inspiring journey of a young girl’s transition out of childhood as she takes control of her own future.
It’ll be a big show with a big cast and lots of amazing characters.
“The play is based on a compilation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass,” said QMS drama teacher Martina Blake.
“It’s more of a feminist approach to the traditional story, which we think our audi-ence will find appealing.”
Fame, the school’s big production last year, was such a success that Blake decid-ed it would be fun to move the students from realism into the zany world of Alice’s mind.
“Alice is really trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs in the world,” Blake said. “Our students are excited about the topic, but certainly the content
can be a little confusing at times. It has been a journey of exploration for them as well. Making those deeper meanings has given them a sense of ownership over the play material.”
Of course, with it being a musical, the colourful characters will engage in plenty of dynamic choreography and lots of fun.
Playing Alice is Grade 12 student Alys-sa Andress, with Maiya Modeste as the Cheshire Cat, Sydney McCrea as the Queen of Hearts and Allie Johnston as the White Rabbit supplying major support.
All of Lewis Carroll’s famous characters will be there too, such as the Jabberwocky, Humpty Dumpty and the Door Mouse.
In all, 47 students from grades 5 to 12 are involved as actors, set designers, produ-cers, light technicians and choreographers for the production.
“I may be the lead director, but our drama students have made this perform-ance entirely their own,” Blake said.
Showtime is 7 p.m. with a matinee per-formance scheduled for Feb. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Queen Margaret’s School Fine Arts Hall. Tickets are $10 in advance, or at the door (if you can find any). Contact 250-746-4185 or email [email protected]

Take in some jazz on Valentine’s Day in Crofton

The concert is part of the Jazz at Crofton series, which runs at the pub every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Musicians are invited to join in a jam session during the last hour. The pub is at 1534 Joan Ave., a stone’s throw from the Saltspring Island ferry termin-al. Admission is $10. For infor-mation, call 250-324-2245 or visit croftonhotel.ca.
Lynn Miles headed to the Duncan Showroom
Canadian music icon Lynn Miles is coming to the Duncan Showroom on Thursday, Feb. 18 starting at 8 p.m.
Longevity John Falkner says that Miles’s recordings, good as they are, don’t give listeners the special rapport that she can achieve when presenting to a live audience.
“Do yourself a wonderful favour and attend a Lynn Miles concert,” he said last week.
Tickets are $25 in advance. Check out www.showroom-productions.ca/buy-tickets or you can pay $30 at the door.

Sara Goodman’s second goal of the game gave the host Cowichan Typhoons a thrilling overtime victory over the Island Wildcats in the final of the Malcolm Fernandes Memorial U18 Indoor Hockey Tournament on Jan. 31.
The tournament was renamed this year for Fer-nandes, who coached Cowichan’s indoor program before he died suddenly last December.
“Malcolm had been our indoor field hockey coach for the past several years and his experi-ence, passion for the game, and coaching ability, raised the level of all of sport,” tournament orga-nizer Brenda Lockhart said. “It was an honour to work with him and he would be proud of how hard the players worked at this tournament.”
Stepping up to fill Fernandes’s shoes with the indoor team this year were Perri Espeseth and Caitlin Evans, who guided the Typhoons to a tournament win that included two victories over the powerhouse Wildcats — one in the round rob-in and another in the final.
The championship game was tied 1-1 at halftime and 2-2 at regulation, with Goodman and Hannah Murray responsible for the Typhoons’ goals. Just before the end of the first overtime period, an infraction in the Wildcats’ goal led to a penalty corner that Goodman capitalized on.
Rounding out the Typhoons roster were Sadie Tucker, Jocelyn Buss, Sophia Murray, Dannika Lloyd-Jones, Emma Dame, Kyla Toljander, Jen-na Ellison and Marina Ellison. Cowichan Field Hockey Association products who suited up for other teams included Brittany Smith and Robin Fleming on the Wildcats, and Elise McKinnon, Maria Murray, Nyah Miranda, Olivia Burton, Sophia Miranda and Tai Williams for Shawnigan Lake School. The five-team field also included two squads from Calgary: the Cougars, who were back for their third year in a row, and a new team, the Saracens.

Paddy Nelson’s goal on the last play of Cowichan LMG’s final game of the Vancouver Island Soc-cer League season gave the team a 1-1 tie with Saanich Fusion last Friday, and 45 points on the season, matching the previous best mark set in 2012/13.
Cowichan had clinched the best record in Div. 1 two weeks earli-er, and the team finished with a record of 14 wins, one loss and three ties for six more points than second-place Comox and nine more than third-place Saanich. The team’s goal differential of 53 (65 for, 12 against) was its best ever.
Saanich scored 15 minutes into the match, but Cowichan took con-trol of the game after that, pressur-ing the host team until they finally scored just before the final whistle when Nelson buried a rebound off Josh Cuthbert’s initial shot.
“They were a little more moti-vated than we were,” admitted Cowichan coach Glen Martin, whose team beat Saanich 5-0 in Ladysmith earlier in the season.
“They showed some pride. For a game that doesn’t mean anything to either team [in the standings], that’s kind of the way it should be.”
Martin’s team now has a couple of weeks off before beginning the Jackson Cup tournament with a home game against Powell River’s Div. 2 team on Feb. 21 beginning at 2 p.m. Powell River finished sev-enth in Div. 2 at 3-5-4, but Martin isn’t taking anything for granted.
“Div. 2 games are never easy games,” he said.
Cowichan United finished their Div. 2 season with an 8-1 win over Sooke last Saturday, getting two goals each from Kevin Smith, Rus-sell Lederer and Steven Zorich, and one each from Kodi Archbold and Jose Muro. United placed third in the division with a 4-2-8 record.
United will open the Jackson Cup at home against Lakehill’s Div. 1 team on Feb. 20 at Sherman Road turf at 6 p.m. Lakehill finished last in Div. 1 and will be relegated to Div. 2 next season. Martin expects big things from Cowichan United.
“Any team that takes that team lightly is in trouble,” he said.

The recent success of the Queen Mar-garet’s School equestrian program did not go unnoticed by the B.C. Hunter Jumper Association.
The QMS program came home with sev-eral awards from the BCHJA awards gala, held in Burnaby on Jan. 17.
Among the recipients were mother and daughter Cheryl and Kassidy Keith. Cheryl, the head coach of the QMS eques-trian program, was named BCHJA Coach of the Year, while Kassidy, a Grade 12 rider, received three separate awards.
Following a competitive season in which she won two national championships, Kas-sidy Keith was presented with the Carol McGill Sportsmanship Award, which goes to the junior rider who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship and com-passion to their equine partner; the Maple Meadows Year End Junior Equitation Award, for earning the highest standing in the 3’6”–3’9” equitation divisions over the season; and the Championship for the Junior A Equitation Division.
“This year was one of the best years of my life,” Kassidy Keith said. “I am so thankful to everyone who helped me get to this point and who supported me.”
Cheryl Keith wasn’t expecting the hon-our she received.
“It was a huge surprise when they announced my name,” she said. “I’ve been coaching for over 20 years and this is def-initely one of the pinnacles of my career. It was really memorable to stand on stage with my daughter, Kassidy, and my stu-dent Emily. I am very honoured.”
Emily Cake, a Grade 10 rider, took home two BCHJA awards: Reserve Champion in the 1.10m Junior Jumper Division, and fourth place in the 1m Junior Jumper.
“Emily really stepped up and displayed adaptability this season, showing her skill set on a variety of different horses,” QMS equestrian director Jodine Buydens said. “We are very proud of the tremendous work put in by all of our athletes through-out the 2015 season.”
Kassidy Keith’s equine partner, Walla-bee, was not forgotten, either. Wallabee was named Horse of the Year by the Horse Council BC.
“I love that he was recognized for his hard work too,” Buydens said. “Wallabee was key to Kassidy’s success and we will always be grateful to QMS alumna Jolene Benham for sharing him with us.”

Powell River is a tough place for any B.C. Hockey League team to play, and the Kings boast one of the best home records in the league. But Cowichan Valley Capitals head coach Bob Beatty still wasn’t pre-pared to see his team lose 4-0 and 7-0 in back-to-back games in Powell River last weekend
“I’d like to be able to explain it ful-ly,” he said. “I guess it was a bit of a combination of faults. We start-ed out Friday with a really good pace to the game, and I thought we looked pretty good. We had to kill off three penalties in the first period, but we came out of it pret-ty good, and we were outshooting them after the first.”
After a scoreless first period, the Caps gave up two goals in the second and two in the third. Pow-ell River goalie Jeff Smith turned aside all 21 Cowichan shots, while Capitals netminder Storm Phaneuf allowed four goals on 35 shots.
“We quit moving the puck effec-tively and we obviously got out-played,” Beatty said. “They capital-ized and, aside from the first period when we had some good scoring chances, we didn’t generate much offence.”
On Saturday, the Caps surren-dered four goals in the first, one in the second, and two in the third, while Smith stopped all 25 pucks the Caps fired at him. Lane Michasiw started the game in net and, allowed five goals on 22 shots over 31 minutes and 42 seconds. Phaneuf played the remaining 28:18, stopping 25 of 27 shots.
“Saturday I think compounded it,” Beatty said. “They scored fairly early. We didn’t really have a com-mitment in our end. The biggest problem was that we didn’t get much offensive-zone time; we were spending too much time in our end, and we missed some assignments.”
Captain Adam Osczevski was suspended for Friday’s game, and fellow forward Corey Hoffman was
suspended for Friday and Saturday, but their absences didn’t explain the two shutout losses.
“They’re good players, they’re solid players, but it’s certainly not an excuse,” Beatty said. “When you lose 7-0, you don’t have a lot of excuses to fall back on.”
The losses in Powell River dropped the Caps to third place in the Island Division standings, and they are closer in terms of points to the fifth-place Alberni Valley Bulldogs than they are to the second-place Kings. Nanaimo sits first (68 points and six games remaining), followed by Powell River (63 points and seven games remaining), Cowichan (52 points and nine games remaining), Vic-toria (46 points and eight games remaining) and Alberni (44 points and eight games remaining).
The Caps could still fall out of the playoff picture, Beatty acknowledged.
“If we can’t muster up a better effort, there’s always that possibil-ity,” he said. “We’re certainly not thinking we deserve to miss the playoffs, nor do we think we will. We need to play like we are capable of playing and a playoff matchup will be available to us.”
The Caps will visit Nanaimo this Wednesday, followed by a three-game home stand, hosting Merritt on Friday, Chilliwack on Saturday, and Victoria next Tuesday.
“We always have pretty intense games against Nanaimo, and I don’t expect this one will be any differ-ent,” Beatty said. “There’s no love lost, and that’s the way we want it to be. Obviously, when you play a first-place team, you have to be at your best. It’s a good challenge for us to get back on track.”

The Kerry Park Island-ers were set to do some soul-searching this week after they dropped to third in the Vancouver Island Junior Hock-ey League’s South Division with a 4-1 loss to the Westshore Wolves last Saturday.
“I was disappointed with the performance,” Islanders own-er Mark Osmond said. “We’ll be having some meetings on Tuesday with the players.”
Westshore scored twice in the first period and were up 3-0 in the second before Kerry Park rookie Parker Ellis got his team on the board. The Wolves shut the Isles down from there on and scored one more of their own in the third.
Kerry Park goalie Chase Anderson stopped 29 of 33 shots, while former Islanders backstop Leighton Williams turned back 26 of 27 shots.
“I don’t understand it,” Osmond said. “They practiced well, they had a play, and then you can tell from the start of the game that some players just weren’t into it.”
The Isles are still hoping to finish the season in second place, where they can host a
first-round series, or third, where they can at least avoid facing the juggernaut Victo-ria Cougars in the first round. After last weekend, they have 44 points, tied with the Penin-sula Panthers and two points back of the Wolves.
The good news is that the Isles have four games left to play, while the teams they are jostling with only have three
remaining on their slates.“It’s the boys’ decision who
they get to play,” Osmond said. “It’s up to them to play the games.”
This Friday, the Isles will vis-it the Saanich Braves, who are last in the South Division and out of the playoff picture. On Saturday, they will be at home to the Cougars with a 7:30 p.m. start.
