New fault line raises Valley’s risksROBERT BARRON CITIZEN
The Cowichan Valley faces even more of a threat from earthquakes than previously believed.
Canadian and American seismologists have recently confirmed the existence of a previ-ously unknown earthquake fault zone just five kilometres south of Victoria, called the Devil’s Mountain Fault Zone.
The zone is actually made up of a series of faults that run from Washington state to Victoria.
It’s much closer to the Cowichan Valley than the area where the “Big One” is supposed to
originate in the region off Vancouver Island’s west coast, where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate meets the North American plate.
The Devil’s Mountain Faults lie entirely on the North American plate, which usually gen-erates smaller, shallower crustal earthquakes that could potentially be as high as a 7.5 mag-nitude shaker.
Sybille Sanderson, the emergency program co-ordinator for the Cowichan Valley Regional District, said shallow earthquakes can actual-ly cause a lot more damage to the region than a deep one, like the Big One is expected to be.
Is the Cowichan Valley ready for the big one?

CRIME
No easy fi x for neighbourhood drug housesROBERT BARRON CITIZEN
Ron Stasynec is fed up with the almost daily incidents at what he believes is a drug house in his North Cowichan neighbourhood.
The situation has gotten so bad that Stasynec is even con-sidering selling his home and moving from the community.
Stasynec claims cars start dropping by the house in the early afternoons to buy drugs from dealers, and the frequency of cars and people increase in the evenings.
He said there’s lots of noise at the house almost all the time, and his home and some of his neighbours’ houses and prop-erties have been vandalized by people connected to the prob-lem dwelling.
“A lot of people in my neigh-bourhood are afraid of the people in that house, and its visitors,” he said.
“The police have been called and have been to the house numerous times now, but then they go away and the problem continues like they were never there. I wrote a letter to the [Municipality of North Cowic-han] and the local RCMP, and still nothing has been done.”
Krista Hobday, a spokes-person for the Duncan/North Cowichan RCMP detachment, said she can’t speak to this par-ticular case, as it might impede ongoing investigations.
But, she said, while local police get emergency calls con-cerning alleged drug houses,
it’s a fact that they simply don’t have the resources and man-power to constantly monitor such problem properties in its jurisdiction.
She said if the RCMP identify such a residence as “having all the earmarks of a drug house,” police will often put the house under surveillance and investi-gate individuals that frequent it.
“We can get search warrants and search the house, after which charges can be laid, depending on what is found,” Hobday said.
“But we can’t usually take the house away from its land-lord, who is often renting it out. Renters are often ‘fly-by-night’ people and while we can enforce the laws they are break-ing, it doesn’t stop them from going back to that same house when released from custody.”
Municipalities don’t have any authority to enforce criminal laws, including the selling and use of drugs from homes in their jurisdictions.
That enforcement is left to the
local police.But they do have nuisance
bylaws, including some for noise and unsightly premis-es, and they can act against the landlord if multiple com-plaints have been received and the landlord has not acted on repeated orders to deal with the infractions.
The penalties for non-com-pliance get more serious if the landlord doesn’t act to fix the problems, and range from fines, notices on title and injunctions to court orders against the landlord.
Municipal bylaws, in co-oper-ation with local law enforce-ment, has been used to great effect over the years in the City of Nanaimo to shut down drug houses and clean up neighbourhoods.
North Cowichan Jon Lefe-bure said officials from the municipality and officers from the Duncan/North Cowichan RCMP detachment meet every two months to discuss and col-laborate on issues of mutual importance.
But he acknowledged that the issue of drug houses in the com-munity is “very difficult and frus-trating” to deal with.
“We have the ability to fine the landlords of these properties, but if challenged in court, a $500 fine could lead to court costs to the municipality of up to $5,000,” Lefe-bure said.
“So we’re pretty careful on when and where we issue those fines,” he said.
As for notices on the land title, Lefebure said that approach warns potential buyers of the property of
issues, but does little else to force current landlords to deal with issues on their properties.
“Each step [in the municipality’s penalty system for nuisance proper-ties] has consequences for the land-lord, but it’s still very challenging to effectively stop these problems,” he said.
“We’ll continue to work with the police and I’ll see to it that Nanaimo’s strategy is investigated to see if we can learn something from that city’s experience. But I’m not naive and I know there’s no sim-ple solutions.”
Cops looking for watch owners
Missing a watch? The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP might have it.
A tenant who left their residence on last month left behind items believed to be stolen property, including numerous watches of all brand names and models. The police would like to unite the items with their rightful owners.
“We are hoping that if you had a watch taken in a break and enter, theft from vehicle, stolen purse or other crime, that we may have it,” Cpl. Krista Hobday said.

N. Cowichan eyes water systems amalgamation
The Municipality of North Cow-ichan is studying the possibility of merging its three water-service areas into one.
The municipality has three separ-ate water systems servicing three distinct areas — Chemainus, Crof-ton and the South End — covering more than 130 square kilometres.
Mark Ruttan, the municipality’s director of corporate services, said the infrastructure for all three systems is aging, with much of it needing to be upgraded or replaced in coming years.
He said that the three systems are supported by user-pay systems in each particular area, and not by
general municipal taxes through-out the whole municipality.
Ruttan said the water systems in Chemainus and Crofton are smaller than the one in the South End, and have fewer users to pay for infrastructure repairs and upgrades.
“Recent work in the Chemainus water system cost about $1 mil-lion, and long-term borrowing was required because of the small number of users in that area,” he said.
“If we amalgamate all three water areas into one, it would be easier to fund these projects. The same applies to the sewer systems in all three areas.”

A 28-year-old Langfor d woman was killed on Wednes-day afternoon when her truck left Shawnigan Lake Road and collided with a tree.
Malahat fire chief Rob Pater-son was the first responder on the scene shortly after 3 p.m., and found a black GMC pickup wrapped around a tree, about a kilometre west of the inter-
section with the Trans-Canada Highway. The truck had des-cended a large embankment after leaving the road.
“The damage was extensive,” he said. “It was pretty evident there wasn’t much to be done for the lone female occupant. It was a tough extrication; hard on the guys, and hard on the people who found her first. There were some public there, and they were pretty shaken.”
Although conditions at thetime were rainy and windy,Paterson said the truck, arecent model, had “awesometires,” and was in very goodshape. Both he and the RCMPbelieve speed could be a factorin the collision.
“Judging from how violentlythe truck struck the tree, speedwas probably involved,” Cpl.Greg Pask of the ShawniganLake RCMP said.

All Trumped up: tales from the American campaign trail
I’m in a roomful of media waiting for a press conference in Hampton, New Hampshire. The date is Aug. 14, 2015.
My birthday a week later has come early. I’m freelancing for an American political commentary website after a stint run-ning a paper in Ontario, and it’s brought me to the Granite state. Tough-looking security guards appear speaking into hand-mics just like in the movies, fol-lowed by loud cheers from the hallway outside.
A tall man with a halo of golden hair prances in.
“Wow, great crowd, great crowd,” intones Republican presidential can-didate Donald Trump about his fans in the hallway as he steps to the press conference podium and slams the Bush family, Hillary Clinton, the mayor of Boston, ALS ice bucket challenges, his Republican opponents, free trade, the Iraq war and a number of other policies, politicians and public figures.
It’s a long way from the Cowichan Val-ley, where I grew up.
The reporter next to me from Paris Match draws Trump’s disapproval as his extravagant musical phone ringtone sounds off several times (“You OK over there!? You done yet?” Trump asks sar-castically). I sense the chance to ask a question and come up with something about Trump’s opinion on the Democrat-ic contest. He easily runs with it to cas-tigate Clinton for her classified e-mail scandal.
In person Trump is much more serious and poised than comes across onscreen. He seems ultra-focused on his messaging and repeating key phrases to dodge and emphasize.
He doesn’t appear to be enjoying him-self so much as obsessed with winning (so much so that he overcame his dislike of shaking hands to run for president). During the ebola outbreak in 2014 Trump had speculated that one potential posi-tive was nobody would shake hands anymore, but this hope did not come to pass, so grinning supporters still hold out hands and Trump still shakes them and poses for selfies.
There’s a price to pay to get your paws on the presidency.
Hands and fingers more recently have become a much larger (or smaller?) hot-button issue in the Republican race, but the topic of how the future of the free world came down to mockery of hand and finger size and palming off middle school insults to crowds in Palm Beach is another matter altogether.
I’d been covering rallies in New Hamp-shire for a few weeks, everyone from Marco Rubio to Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders to Clinton, but the energy in the Trump auditorium was on another level.
The Trump speech facility was also in top shape, whereas the campaign trail is often less glamorous than people envision. Ultra-rich former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, for example, had to walk up sagging steps into an old Veterans of Foreign Wars hall (equivalent of the Canadian Legion) and speak beside a glass Budweiser lampshade over the pool table, and Paul shared speaking room with a row of dormant exercise bikes and weight racks as he spoke at a community centre (with a chainsaw on top of stacks of paper representing the federal tax code behind him).
At the Trump speech, people of all ages shouted loud support, holding up flags and pumping their fists, sort of like the atmosphere of a wrestling match on steroids. The crowd was constantly rising for standing ovations as Trump slammed the mainstream left and right wings for failing working Americans, presenting bad education policy and supporting unnecessary foreign wars. Trump, of course, claimed he would make things better: In fact, so much better that people would get “tired of winning.”
“You hear that sucking sound!? You
know what that sucking sound is!?” he bellowed to the audience.
“Jobs!” shouted several people in the crowd.
“That means jobs. That means money,” Trump agreed.
He went on to promise “so many victories” and avowed perfection of everything from health care to foreign policy, plus a strong crackdown on illegal immigration.
“You don’t want a politically correct president!” he said, as the crowd of around 1,000 rose to its feet with deafen-ing cheers. His standard denunciation of the media was met with howls of approval.
Since then Trump has gone further
than political incorrectness, advocating war crimes (numerous other presidents and leaders have actually done and ordered them, so it’s a saying versus doing thing), a temporary ban on all Mus-lim immigration, playing off suspicion of refugees, retweeting white suprema-cists online, mocking disabled reporters and steadily eliminating opponent after opponent as he drills down on their per-ceived or actual policy weaknesses and personal insecurities.
Now poised to become the Republican nominee, Trump supporters are ready for the greatest reality show on earth, while opponents are scrambling to sup-port an alternative among a flawed field of Republican candidates (someone who doesn’t want to “carpet bomb” or start World War III would be a good start) and Democrats continue to split along sup-porting the ethically challenged Clinton or socialist Sanders.
In any case, I can always say I was there when this whole political volcano erupted. Plus, when people ask why my hair is so good I’ll have an easily flowing answer: My hair isn’t having a bad hair day, it’s in a comb-a.
What happens next is anyone’s guess, but it’s safe to say that worldwide and south of the border the winds of change are blowing at gale force enough to disrupt even Trump’s hair. Business-as-usual has been fired.

There’s a shorter, better pipeline route
Pipeline sense if you must.There is a much shorter pipe-
line route that would serve both east and west markets.
From Fort McMurray east to Churchill where there is a port and now that the northwest passage is mainly open and shipping east has been used for years, it’s logical.
From the Fort go east and a little north to just south of Cree Lake, then to the south of Lac Wollaston to the north of Rein-deer Lake almost straight east to the port of Churchill from that point.
• Do almost all of it above ground like the Alaska pipeline.
• There are no forest and mountains like Alaska so wind chargers along the way could electrically heat the bitumen if needed.
• Easy to monitor from the air; leaks easy to spot and repair.
• Very little population affected.
There are many eskers along the way; good beds. My geologic-al maps showed the eskers; also for your information it showed 128 extinct volcanoes across the northern areas.
Now put a road along that line and it would open up that part of the north to tourism and be a boom for the people already there, providing those residents were given priority to develop-ment. That local development of wind electrical power would present many opportunities.
But keep mega corporations out and locals in control; First Nations and Métis, many have worked pipelines and they would reap the profits; keep out any mega entities like power companies.

Kudos to City of Duncan for feral cat law changes
I would like to take this oppor-tunity to sincerely commend Duncan mayor, council and staff for the efforts they put forth in re-formulating their new animal bylaw to ensure that feral cats can continue to be fed in a safe and managed environment.
Their collective willingness to re-examine the previous deci-sions and draft something new that is not only just humane but potentially life-giving is exactly what a community wants in their elected officials.
Thank you to all involved in ensuring that those of us who are able can once again show these small, oft-forgotten ani-mals a shred of compassion in
their otherwise often bleak lives.

TPP good if it gets rid of subsidies
Based on the following example it appears that there are many subsidies being pro-vided in other countries. I use New Zealand as an example. Its climate is very similar to ours, the currency is almost on par with ours and labour rates are on par. Yet somehow they can raise a sheep, pay to feed it etc., then butcher it, process it and ship it to Duncan to sell at $10.97 per pound versus locally produced lamb raised and pro-
cessed here in the Cowichan Valley sold for $14.99 per pound. (This is from fliers from last week).
Given all the factors, there appears to be no way that in an open fair market it is possible to do this type of pricing without government subsidies. The sub-sidies breed inefficiencies and ensure that they can dump their produce on the marketplace. If the Transpacific Partner-ship will eliminate this type of subsidy it needs to get imple-mented. Although I have not studied the agreement in detail, it does have Mr. Harper’s hand in developing this deal, thus it is very likely we will lose out.

We feel for Ron Stasynec.After hearing from
both local government and the RCMP on the significant challenges involved in trying to shut down drug houses in our Cowichan Valley communities, we can’t help but sympathize with the neighbours of these problem dwellings.
Because one thing is clear, getting rid of these unwanted neighbours is no easy, quick or straightforward matter.
At first glance it seems bizarre that the RCMP would suggest that North Cowichan, or any other municipality’s bylaws,
would be a way to shut down a crack house. Isn’t that what our criminal code is for?
But we do see the logic of attacking the problem from every possible angle and if the only way to get at the home-owner or tenant is to declare the house a nuisance property, then that’s what should be done.
The goal is to force the prob-lem person out of the neigh-bourhood. Ideally, that would be by shutting down the drug-deal-ing operation and charging and convicting those responsible.
Neighbours, understandably, just want these people gone.
They don’t want their quiet to be disrupted by people driving up to the house all the time. They don’t want sketchy individuals hanging around, vandalizing neighbours’ homes. They don’t want paraphernalia proliferating on their sidewalks and lawns. They don’t want people high on drugs wan-dering or driving around the neighbourhood.
More than just a run-of-the-mill bad neighbour, drug houses compromise the safety of the whole area.
What seems most clear is that there needs to be a better way
to deal with drug houses in our communities.
The current system can leave people to get increasingly frus-trated and angry over a span of months and even possibly years.
Perhaps changes that would be able to hold landlords more accountable for tenants who deal drugs, along with more ability on a landlord’s part to evict the bad apples. Perhaps a warning system followed by property confiscation if land-lords fail to take action.
What we have now is inad-equate, and regular folks are paying the price.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORVoices from the Cowichan Valley community
Flight schools don’t care about residents they’re fl ying over
I feel I have to comment to you, Mr. Anderson, in reply to your letter in regards to Ms. Ramsdin, and Manuel Erickson in regards to the plane noise.
My husband and I have lived up Mt. Sick-er Road for 30 years, where you are now suggesting that these practising pilots go fly.
Just to inform you, Mr. Ferguson, we already have these planes flying up here, as Mount Sicker Valley is Victoria’s desig-nated training area for practising pilots since the Second World War. We have all of Victoria’s flight school’s training done here in the Mount Sicker Valley, and this we pay dearly for, as these planes are practising daily over our homes, morning til night! We happen to live right beside a field where these planes practice their stall and recovery; it goes on for hours and hours some days.
We as “good neighbours” have phoned many times and asked Victoria flying school to get their planes to move off of the populated area here in this valley, which is the first five kilometres of Mt. Sicker Road, but the more we ask Vic fly-ing school to move off of the houses the more they continue to use our homes for their markers, for practising these stalls and recovery and other techniques needed to train a pilot.
It is just a matter of time now, when one of these planes goes down and the more we ask that the Victoria flying school be good neighbours and to move up the valley away from our houses the more they stay here.
We have also gone to Transport Canada and beyond and we are left with this noise pollution because instructors are exempt from having to follow regular plane regulations e.g. flying low over popu-lated areas. We get the feeling from these instructors, that they think that they are better then the average person because they can fly...
I find these instructors from these flight schools to be think that their noise is okay at the cost of others. Our quiet lives are now gone thanks to nothing being done, and you can’t tell me that these pilots
don’t know the noise their engines make, especially when they are coming out of a stall as they have to full throttle their engines to bring them up and out of the stall manoeuvre.
I totally agree with Mr. Manuel Erickson and Ms. Ramsdin that yes, they should go practise over the ocean where we don’t have to listen to their roaring engines from morning til night! At least not at my expense of not being able to hear the beauty of the nature anymore.
Totally fed up.

Cyber bullying is not new bullying, just change in venue
Children aged nine and 10 were bullying in schoolyards 60 years ago, as they do today.
People of all ages have long gossipped — it seems to me that the Internet may make it easier to identify the source, not just easier to spread words.
I think your suggestion that cyber bully-ing is something different weakens action against it by inferring laws can’t handle it. I am not aware that laws against defama-tion have changed radically, but the legal system remains a barrier even after B.C.’s unjust fee was removed. Nor that the law against public mischief has gone away.
Keep in mind that “cyber bullying” is words, not sticks and stones, it is not assault.
Of course a fundamental question is why the school system has not been effective against bullying. I say that’s because it teaches collectivism rather than respect for individuals. Recall that some B.C. students assaulted redheads just because some jerk publicized the notion of Kick A Ginger Day. Why couldn’t those students understand that it is wrong to kick others? (Redheads hadn’t been protected by a rule against their group, as is the method of schools today after the fact. And individ-uals never will be.)

FIRE
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Malahat volunteer firefighters attended a blaze in the South Shawnigan area on Tuesday morning out of the kindness of their hearts.
The house fire on Stebbings Road, south of Shawnigan Lake Road, occurred just a few kilometres away from the Malahat fire hall, but in an area outside of their juris-diction. In fact, there is no official fire ser-vice for the area.
“It’s out of our management area,” Mala-hat fire chief Rob Paterson said. “It’s Zone 99. There is no fire protection whatsoever. We’re just here to be nice.”
The fire, which was called in around 11 a.m., razed the house. The homeowner was home but managed to get out without injury. Two cats were believed dead, how-ever. The cause is yet to be determined.
“It looks like an old fireplace had a fire in it,” Paterson speculated. “It was probably a chimney fire.”

Local politicians are wondering what’s taking so long for the re-establishment of train service to the area.
Councillors in the Municipality of North Cowichan have invited officials from the Island Corridor Foundation and Southern Railway Vancouver Island to provide them an update on when, or if, the resumption of both freight and passenger rail service on Vancouver Island can be expected.
Regional districts on the Island have committed approximately $7 million to the project, with $486,000 from the Cow-ichan Valley Regional District.
But the funding will not be released until the ICF and SVI have all their ducks in a row, including having the funding promised from other levels of
government in hand.“Council wants an update,” said North
Cowichan mayor Jon Lefebure.“The indications I have is that rail ser-
vice in the Cowichan Valley will begin again, but I won’t prejudge on if that will actually happen until we hear from the delegations that we have asked for.”
Passenger train service on the E&N Railway line on Vancouver Island was stopped in 2011 due to track safety con-cerns, and freight service has also been discontinued between Duncan and Parksville.
The federal and provincial govern-ments have committed $7.5 million each, on top of the funding from local govern-ments, to fix the railway line.
But the ICF, which owns the rail line, and SVI, which runs the rail operations, have been facing delays from the senior
levels of government as to when they plan to release the funding they’ve promised.
J. Singh Biln, director of community relations at SVI, said before Christmas that he expects passenger train service to return to the Island by the end of 2016 or early 2017.
He said at the time that SVI has a “sign-off” on all the funding, except the $7.5 million from the federal gov-ernment, which was held up because of November’s federal election.
Biln said the company expects an agreement in principle will be signed by early 2016, after which it can go to tender and rehabilitate the track.
“I think improvements to the track and the return of rail service will have some significant impacts in this region,” Lefe-bure said.

Anew frontier in surgery is coming. The iKnife is a device that can detect the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue. It’s often difficult for surgeons to distinguish different types of
tissue by appearance so this new tool will be invaluable for removal of cancerous tumours in the near future.
Doctors are finding that many of their patients research their medical problems on-line and often come to a doctor visit armed with pages of printouts. The source of some of this research is often troublesome and unreliable. If you are going to get information from the internet, look for sites with “edu” in their addresses. There are too many “too good to be true” sites out there, and most often they are.
With more and more Canadians being diagnosed with diabetes, it’s good to be aware of some of the warning signs you might have it. These include: unusual thirst, frequent urinating, weight change (up or down), extreme fatigue, blurred vision, frequent or recurring infections, slow healing of cuts and bruises and tingling of hands and feet. See your doctor if you are concerned.
Pregnancy requires an increased calorie intake. Usually it’s about 100 calories per day during the first trimester and 300 calories per day for the second and third trimesters. A variety of food from all food groups is best. As well, low-impact exercise (like walking and swimming) will help keep body weight in check.
We encourage you to get to know your pharmacist as you do your doctor. And we hope you choose us as your pharmacist. Add us to your healthcare team.

Sanderson said the amount of property damage expected in the valley from an earthquake, no matter where it originates, depends on the size of the build-ings and how old they are.
“Fortunately, most of the structures in the region are one and two-storey buildings that are wooden, and that’s important because wood-frame buildings are much more flex-ible in an earthquake than ones made from brick or concrete,” she said.
“But a lot of the buildings are older so they are not up to the current building code, with many not having any reinforced masonry, so they may be more vulnerable.”
The last earthquake felt in the Cowichan Valley was on Dec. 30, 2015, when a 4.3-mag-nitude earthquake, centred approximately eight kilometres east of Sidney, between Victoria and Vancouver, shook Vancou-ver Island.
Sanderson said that shaker caused no local damage, but did cause “lots of concern.”
In fact, Sanderson said there are “all kinds” of different fault
lines that criss-cross the entire local region.
“We always plan for the worst-case scenario, and that would be an earthquake of a 9.0 mag-nitude or more,” she said.
Sanderson said local residents should be prepared to be on
their own for at least a week after a major shaker, as emer-gency services would likely be busy elsewhere.
She recommended that each home should have an emer-gency kit readily available that should have sufficient supplies of dry food, water, tools, dry clothes, flashlights and other necessary equipment to last at least a week.
“People can’t be guaranteed to be at home when an earth-quake hits, so they should also have a ‘grab and go’ emergency kit in their vehicles that should have the basics; including food, water, medications, safety gog-gles and work gloves,” Sander-son said.
She reminded people that the best means to protect them-selves during an earthquake is the ‘drop, cover and hold’ method in which you drop to the ground when you first feel the quake, take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table and hold on until it stops.
The CVRD has an emergency workbook on its website that explains what should be done in an emergency, and Sander-son encouraged everyone to read it.
Plan to be on your own for a weekEARTHQUAKE, From Page 1 Quake facts
• THE region that stretches from the northern tip of Vancouver Island down the coast to northern Cal-ifornia has experienced 22 major earthquakes over the last 11,000 years.
• IT’S estimated that a major quake, 9.0 magnitude or higher, happens in the region on average every 300 years and is centred in the region off Vancouver Island’s west coast where the two major tectonic plate meet.
• THE last massive earthquake, esti-mated to be more than 9.0 mag-nitude, shook the south coast of British Columbia 316 years ago, on Jan. 26, 1700.
• THE last time there was a major earthquake close to the Cowichan Valley was a 6.8 magnitude shaker in 2001, which was centred south of Seattle.

CHRONICLES
Poor Henry Croft’s fi nancial loss was Sam Matson’s gain
Another Vancouver Island pioneer passed into hist-ory last month with the
last Victoria-Vancouver run of a Pacific Coach Lines bus. So end-ed a transit service which was begun in the 1920s by one of Vic-toria’s most colourful business entrepreneurs.
It could be said that John Henry Samuel “Sam” Matson really started on his road to fortune here in the Cowichan Valley. On Westholme’s Mount Sicker, to be more precise, where he’d been sent as a trustee of the Bank of Montreal to oversee the salvaging of whatever was left in the way of assets of the Lenora Mine.
I’ve already told how Henry Croft brought this spectacu-larly Lenora copper mine into production only to over-extend himself by building a railway to
Crofton, his choice for the site of a smelter and deep-sea port, and lose everything within a few years. But his loss was Sam’s gain — big time and in more ways than one.
He started by shutting down the mine, disposing of its few remaining assets, including the company’s houses which went for all of for $2 each. He was unsuccessful in selling the hotel — not even for the $8 ask-ing price — but he fared better with the smelter, selling it to the Britannia Mining & Smelting Co. of Howe Sound.
In the course of negotiating with buyers and the bank, Sam also found himself dealing with Joan Dunsmuir, widow of coal baron Robert Dunsmuir. Why?
Because she, too, was one of her son-in-law Henry Croft’s credit-ors, holding the title to his sea-side mansion in Esquimalt.
The ever charming Sam, whose day job was running an insurance and real estate com-pany, soon ingratiated himself with Mrs. Dunsmuir to the point of becoming her financial advis-or. As for Henry’s wife Mary, well, let’s just say they became the best of friends after poor Henry, broken financially and in spirit, sailed away to England to live with his sister and to lick his wounds before embarking on an unsuccessful comeback.
Upon Henry’s death, aged 61, childless, penniless and intes-tate, widow Mary described his financial affairs as a
“hopeless muddle” and beyond her capacity to manage. We can imagine the gallant Sam stepping forward to help sort things out. When Mary died in 1928 after a lengthy illness, she, unlike Henry, did leave a will. Her sizable estate, much of it in real estate and rental properties, amounted to $157,580 (more than $3 million by today’s standards).
But her affairs, under Matson’s management, were so mixed up that challenges and adjustments to Mary’s legacy continued for years, the confusion being compounded by Matson’s own untimely death in 1931. Just 62, he’d been hastened to the grave, legend tells us, by alcoholism. As a result of all the legal to-ing and fro-ing over Mary (Dun-smuir) Croft’s legacy, her file with the Supreme Court, now in the provincial archives, is no less than an inch thick.
When the dust finally settled, it was Sam Matson’s widow who got almost everything: the Colonist, his transportation companies and Henry Croft’s mansion which she bequeathed
to the Salvation Army. The late historian Terry Rek-
sten, author of The Dunsmuir Saga, drew the conclusion that Sam Matson was no better a businessman than Henry Croft, that he completely mucked up the finances of Joan Dunsmuir and Mary Croft, but that he always came well out in the end.
He appears to have done a bet-ter job in operating Vancouver Island Coach Lines which he acquired from B.C. Electric in 1928. An amalgam of several smaller companies, Pacific Stage Lines came to the end of the road in January; perhaps it survived that long because, in its formative years, Matson employed the able Harold Hus-band as manager. When Sam sold his majority shares to Canadian Pacific Railway, Hus-band, who’s better known for his ownership of Victoria Machin-ery Depot, remained as general manager and ultimately bought out the CPR. By all accounts he, if not Sam Matson, really was a good businessman.

Cobble Hill Seedy Saturday kicks off spring this weekend
The wildly-popular kickoff to the Val-ley’s gardening season, Cobble Hill Seedy Saturday is scheduled for March 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be a community seed exchange, vendors of heritage and other special seeds, organic seeds and locally grown plants plus displays and more.
Admission is free but be ready for crowds of people and get there early for best selection.
Nova Scotia musician takes centre stage at Sylvan Saturday
Acclaimed keyboardist Tony Genge plays Mill Bay’s Sylvan United Church Saturday, March 12. Genge is a music professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. He will perform with guitarist Andrew Janusson and drummer Hans Verhoeven.
Genge’s website says his music is char-acterized by “its distinctive harmonic lan-guage, elegant orchestration and postmod-ern mix of musical elements.” He can be heard on his critically acclaimed jazz trio recording, Blues Walk.
Janusson, a recent graduate from the jazz program at Vancouver Island Univer-sity, studied under such Island luminaries as guitarist Pat Coleman and bassist Ken Lister. Verhoeven, an instructor in the jazz program at Vancouver Island University, has worked with such jazz stars as P.J. Perry and Hugh Fraser.
The concert is part of the Sylvan Jazz Church Mice Productions series, and takes place at 985 Shawnigan/Mill Bay Rd., at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $20 at the door. For information, call 250-324-1900.
Ten-piece band brings New Orleans-style jazz to Crofton
The Crofton Hotel Pub will be filled with the sounds of traditional and contempor-ary New Orleans-style jazz as the N.O.L.A. NightHawks return for an afternoon of Big Easy jazz Sunday, March 13.
Led by pianist and arranger Andrew Homzy, the 10-piece band mixes an unusual instrumentation of two trumpets, two trombones, clarinet, baritone sax and a four-piece rhythm section.
The NightHawks will be playing num-erous blues favourites including Aunt Hagar’s Blues by W.C. Handy, and Barn-yard Blues, which was Side B on the very first jazz recording made in 1917.
Pub regulars will remember the band’s debut in Crofton last March, and its return in October.
Homzy, who moved to Nanaimo in 2009, was a key figure on the Montreal jazz scene for more than 40 years, where his band played regularly at the Montreal Jazz Fes-tival and whose performances were broad-cast many times over Radio-Canada.
He was nominated for a Grammy for his research into the music of legendary jazz bass pioneer Charles Mingus, writing com-prehensive notes on his work and co-pro-ducing Mingus’s six-CD set, Passions of a Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings 1956-1961.
The performance is part of the Jazz at Crofton series, which runs every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.
The pub is at 1534 Joan Ave. Admission to this week’s concert is $15.
Information: call 250-324-2245 or visit www.croftonhotel.ca.

With the end of winter in sight and the days getting longer, March is a great month to get outside. You may still need your rain boots, but the fl owers in Charles Hoey Park are lovely and the trees are starting to bud. After months spent (mostly) indoors, spring is a great time to stretch your legs and reconnect with the community. Whether a brisk stride or a leisurely stroll while shopping, Downtown Duncan is a perfect place for walking with over 300 shops and services all within a few square blocks. So grab that umbrella and come march around our wonderful, walkable downtown.

They have a great mix of vendors and are always looking to add others who fall under their “Garden or Pantry” focus. The store is fully staff ed by an amazing group of volunteers who would love to have you stop by and support this great new program.

Same Great Service, Same Friendly Faces, Just new owner!
Founded in 1957 Dickson & Fraser Auto Repairs has been a mainstay of the Cowichan Valley for nearly 60years! During that time they have maintained and built upon their reputation as a stand-up honest hardworking shop that you can trust and rely on.Once the owner Ben Marrs had decided it was time to consider retirement, it was important to him to fi nd someone with the same morals and ethics to continue on with the business. That match was found with Ryan Isherwood, who also owns CARSTAR Isherwood Body & Fender on the corner of Boys Rd & the TCH. It was important to both Ben and Ryan that there will be no staff changes, so that all of those personal connections that have been established over the years can continue to be strengthened.

FOR THE CITIZEN
Daphne Swift, captain of the Swift Walker team is lacing up for
the fourth year in a row at this year’s Scotiabank Duncan MS Walk.
Joining Swift are her sis-ter, Nancy, her fab support-er and husband, Rick, her friend Sinclair and sever-al of Daphne’s coworkers from Island Savings, a Div-ision of First West Credit Union.
Losing her friend’s sis-ter to MS three years ago inspired Swift to fundraise for MS. Swift was recent-ly out collecting items for her MS garage sale when, in conversation, her neigh-bours almost all had a story about a friend or rela-tive with MS.
Swift uses her manage-ment background to cre-ate meaningful fundrais-ers and it’s clear that she knows how to put special touches on events. Mark your calendars for two
upcoming Swift Walker fundraisers:
• Saturday, March 26,: Garage Sale, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Address: 7305 Bell McKin-non Rd., Duncan. All funds donated to Multiple Scler-osis. Donations welcome and appreciated.
• Sunday, May 1: Business Expo in Support of MS, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come check out the various booths set up in the Travel Lodge conference room. Talented local home-based business-es selling their goods with some of the proceeds going to MS as well as a silent auction and draw prizes.
Contact Daphne Swift at 250-252-0746 to arrange for pick up or drop off of garage sale items or for information on the Home Business Fair.
Since its founding in 1948, the Multiple Sclerosis Soci-ety of Canada has acted as a key partner to the MS research community. The MS Society currently pro-vides over $10 million per
year to MS research and is the single largest funder of MS research in Canada.
Local services for people living with MS include s u p p o r t g r o u p s a n d informative public speak-ers, one-on-one counsel-ling, exercise and medical equipment assistance and craft group.
T he S c o t ia ba nk M S Duncan Walk is on Sunday, May 15. The route is access-ible to wheelchairs, scoot-ers, strollers and leashed doggies. Participants can enjoy a pre-walk java and goodie, a lively water stop, a fabulous lunch, music, inspirational words and the great company of other dedicated walkers.
For more information or to register go to www.mswalks.ca or call the local MS Society office at 250-748-7010. Email Sheron: [email protected]
Thank you to Daphne and the Swift Walker team for supporting the MS Society.

LIVING
Put downs have been part of hist-ory since the introduction of civil-
ized debate and sometimes gleeful-ly recorded by ancient scribes. For example in the 5th century B.C. the noble Pericles, revered as the First Citizen of Athens, publicly chid-ed his nephew for his immature opinions: “When I was your age, Alcibiades, I talked just the way you are talking now.”
“Ah Pericles,” the younger man
rejoined, “if only I had known you then, when you were at your best.” The crowd loved it.
A hundred years later Aristippus goaded the independently-minded philosopher Diogenes with the words “If only you would learn to flat-ter the king, you wouldn’t have to exist on len-tils”. To which the old man replied “That’s true, but if you learned to live on lentils, you wouldn’t have to flatter the king!” Tit for tat, ancient Greece style.
The art of the insult reached its apogee in the days of Victoria, when most politicians, particu-larly those in lofty ministerial positions were independently wealthy, highly educated, with quick minds and vast vocabularies, and what they said during debate in the House was mostly protected from legal repercussions of slander by Parliamentary Privilege. It still is. A speaker can devastate a member of the opposition with a blunt insult, but he must never accuse him of telling a lie. (It was always a ‘him’ in Victoria’s time because women were restricted to the visitors’ gallery and couldn’t even vote).
But the art of subtlety was much preferred to coarse criticism, because it required a finesse which was even appreciated on occasion by the victim.
The verbal exchanges between party lead-er Benjamin Disraeli and his opponent, the bible-thumping William Gladstone were legend-ary, and gleefully recorded in the publication Hansard, which officially chronicles the daily proceedings of House debate. One morning Dis-raeli resorted to his regular scornful tactics and assured the gathered members that his opposite number “Had not a single redeeming defect” and in a later conversation, when he was asked to explain the difference between a misfortune and a calamity, he mused that, “If Mr. Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. If anybody pulled him out though, that would be a calamity.”
His victim accepted most of these jibes with his usual sanctimonious Christian forbearance, though he did manage to get in some anti-semit-ic digs, on occasion.
British and American authors at the time were no less scathing in their comments on one another. Their attitudes were summed up in later years when Kingsley Amis pointed out, “If you can’t annoy someone, there is little point in writing.” That’s presumably why Samuel Butler, speaking of the famously quarrelsome literary couple Thomas and Jane Carlyle, remarked, “It was very good of God to let Carlyle and Mrs. Carlyle marry, and so make only two people mis-erable, instead of four.”
And of course the doomed dilettante Oscar Wil-
de was a specialist in caustic one-liners. When asked by the imperious actress Sarah Bernhardt, “Do you mind if I smoke?” (a very avant-garde habit for ladies in those days), he airily replied, “My dear, I don’t care if you burn.”
Today it seems the undisputed masters of the witty put-down are a phenomenon of the past. Political correctness and the threat of culpable slander have reined in the use of the wicked jibe and mischievous retort. We are now served up and seem to tolerate little more than mediocrity in political debate. Instead, to enjoy entertain-ment from the spoken word, we often rely on the dubious efforts of stand-up comedians.
I have two favourite put-downs, which are both centuries old. The first concerns Sydney Smith, that redoubtable wit and man of the cloth A local land owner was bad-mouthing a member of Smyth’s family. “If I had a son who was an idiot,” quoth he, “by Jove, I’d make him a parson.” To which the Reverend replied, “Very probably Squire, but I see that your father was of a differ-ent mind!”
But for me, the best one of all, the classic that still shines brightly through the ages, is when the haughty 4th Earl of Sandwich locked horns with the canny radical politician John Wilkes. “Sir,” thundered the peer, “I do not know wheth-er you will die on the gallows or of the pox!” Wilkes, checking to make sure he could be heard around the whole room, replied, “That depends, m’lord, on whether I embrace your lordship’s principles — or your mistress.”
My wife, when she was reading this draft, reminded me that caustic wit was not, and still isn’t, the sole domain of the mere male. History certainly confirms this. Aristocratic matrons and flapper-age politicians, (snidely referred to as “blue-stockings” by colleagues and the com-petition in those days), could zap their conver-sations with the perfect put down. But women often seemed to prefer scoring off their own gender.
For instance, the fearsome and fearless Lady Oxford, wife of the British Prime Minister Her-bert Asquith, rode to hounds every season and was thrown off her horse regularly. (Wasn’t it Oscar Wilde who lampooned the upper crust who chased the fox, by remarking that “hunting is the pastime of the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible”?)
But back to the Asquith story. She proudly proclaimed that her vigorous hunting days had produced five brain concussions, two broken collarbones and multiple ribs fractures! Yet she produced five children, ran a big household and was feared for her biting wit until her death at eighty-one.
She won wide coverage and acclaim in the society columns when she publicly corrected the American film star Jean Harlow at a Lon-don reception. The blond bombshell insisted on ignoring Margot Asquith’s title and declined to address her as “your ladyship”. Instead, she repeatedly called her by her first name which she pronounced with two ‘t’s.
Eventually the exasperated Lady Oxford held up her hand and announced in a lofty, withering contralto, “My deah, my name is pronounced Margo, not Margott. The ‘t’ is silent, as in Harlo!”
Well, so much for the perfect put-down. We know that language is a punishing weapon when wielded at an opportune moment with sufficient skill and a touch of malice. And happily such duels, when we lesser mortals find a reference to them, can enjoy a smile and even the fleeting thought, “Wow, I wish I had said that!”
» Bill Greenwell prospered in advertising for 40 years in the U.K. and Canada. He retains a passion for medieval history, marine paintings and piscatorial pursuits. His wife Patricia indulges him in these interests, but being a seasoned writer from a similar background, she has always deplored his weakness for alliteration. This has sadly had no effect on his writing style, whatsoever.

FEMALE HOCKEY
KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
It has been a dream season for the bantam C female Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The team went a perfect 12-0, and brought home both the regu-lar season and playoff champion-ship banners.
“At the beginning of the season we sat down and the girls came up with a goal for the season: win the banner,” recalled Rob Wind-sor, who headed up a coaching staff that included Lorne Win-ship and Darrin St. Amand. “So we discussed and decided with some hard work and dedication we could pull this off.”
In their first game of the sea-son, the Capitals scored more goals than they had in the entire previous season, and they real-ized they had something special.
“Everyone knew this season was going to be different,” Wind-sor said.
In 10 league games, the team went undefeated, scoring 64 goals and allowing only nine.
“Forward lines speak for them-selves with 64 goals in 10 games, while the defense was superb all year and occasionally when teams made it through them our goaltenders were stellar,” Wind-sor said. “This was an all-around team effort.”
The Capitals weren’t done yet, and kept going through the playoffs, crushing Nanaimo 13-0 in the semifinal before topping Sooke 7-3 in the title game.
“I have coached quite a few teams in Cowichan from little ones right up to midget com-petitive rep boys teams, and I have never seen a team — from players to coaches and parents included — pull together, have so much fun and reach so many
unthought-of goals in one sea-son,” Windsor said.
“Winning a tournament in Langley, going 10-0 in season play, then taking both league and playoff banners. It was a season the girls won’t forget. And on behalf of the coaches, we couldn’t be prouder of these girls’ dedication and persever-ance to achieve their goals.”
Captained by Melanie Rob-ertson with assistants Lindsay Winship, Samantha Lillywhite and Saige Brimacombe, the team included skaters Anya Hermant, Mile Stewart, Kayla Pike, Gracie Innes, Marissa St. Amand, Made-line Moroz, Emma Wright, Chey-enne Sawchuk and Rori Wratten, and goalies Arica Windsor and Quinn Tompkins.
The Capitals, who were spon-sored by Pacific Truss/Pacific Homes and Pacific Plumbing, have one more tournament this season in Richmond on March 24-27, where they will face tough competition from throughout B.C., Alberta and Washington.

After locking up first place in the Vancouver Island atom development Division 4 league, the Cowichan Valley Capitals battled their way to second place in the Island playoffs.
The Capitals finished the regu-lar season with a near-perfect record of 10 wins, two ties and no losses. They defeated Campbell River 7-2 in the playoff semifinal, but fell 7-3 to Juan de Fuca in the final last Sunday.
“Our team was dominant in
league play,” assistant coach Nigel Hussey said. “Though JDF was a close second.”
The one-two punch of Owen Papineau and Rees Aebischer set the pace for the Cowichan offence all year, and Cohen Stul-tz led the defence corps, bailing the team out on multiple occa-sions with his excellent stick-handling. Cooper Douglas and Logan Elzinga provided strong goaltending.
The team will wrap up the sea-son with one final tournament in Richmond this weekend.
The atom C1 Kerry Park Islanders won both their league and playoff banners, wrapping up the season on March 6 with a 5-1 win over Juan de Fuca C6. The team was presented with the league banner on Feb. 27 after finishing the season with 15 wins and just one loss. [SUBMITTED]

Cowichan’s U13 Silver girls soccer team keeps running into the same team in big games.
The Cowichan girls earned their first win over Juan de Fuca in the LISA Cup final last month and are hoping to make it two in a row against that team in the District Cup final after a win in the semifinals last weekend.
In three previous meetings this season, Cowichan hadn’t been able to beat JDF. That changed on Feb. 13 when Cow-ichan won 1-0 in the LISA Cup final. Blaire Murray scored the only goal of the game around the 80th minute.
“I’ve never seen such a hard-working group of girls,” coach Ryan Giles said.
In the District Cup semifinal at Evans Field in Duncan last Saturday, Cowichan squared off with Lakehill, the winner of the bronze division. Facing a bronze team might have sounded easy at first, but Lake-hill wasn’t your typical bronze team.
“They could have been one of the best teams we played all year,” Giles noted. “They didn’t lose a single game all year in their division and had victories like 11-1 and 9-0.”
The game was tied 2-2 at the
end of regulation after a late goal by Lakehill, and 3-3 after two 10-minute overtimes, this time thanks to a late goal by Cowichan’s Lily Thorne. That led to a shootout that required seven different players from each team to take a turn before it was decided. Cowichan goal-keeper Ema-Leigh Joe managed to out-duel her opponent with five saves on seven attempts.
A rematch against a JDF team that will be eager for revenge now awaits Cowichan in the District Cup final in Victoria on April 2.
From humble beginnings, the Cowichan girls have come a long way.
“It’s been up and down,” Giles said. “We started with a bunch of kids who didn’t know each other.”

The Cowichan Valley Capitals found them-selves on the brink of elimination from the B.C. Hockey League playoffs after a 4-1 loss to the Powell Riv-er Kings on Tuesday.The defeat put the Caps down 3-1 in the best-of-seven first-round series. A loss in Powell River on Thurs-day night would mean the end of the 2015/16 season for the Cowic-han team.
Powell River was up by a pair on Tuesday before Matthew Hud-ie gave the Caps some hope with his second goal of the playoffs at 16:11 of the second per-iod. The Kings made it 3-1 before the middle frame was over, then iced it with an emp-ty-netter in the final minute.
The Caps outshot the Kings 36-27. Cowichan goalie Storm Phaneuf made 24 saves.
If the Caps managed to steal one on the road on Thursday, the teams will be back in Duncan on Saturday at 7 p.m. Check the Cit-izen’s Facebook page for updates.

WOMEN’S RUGBYDIV. 1 RUGBY

Brandi Van Eeuwen tied Carolyn Gud-mundseth’s record for tries in a Cowichan Rug-by Football Club women’s game in leading her team to a huge win over Simon Fraser Univer-sity last Saturday.
Van Eeuwen dotted the ball down seven times as Cowichan crushed SFU 103-7 in the Women’s Premiership test at Piggy Park.
The bonus-point win improved Cowichan’s season record to three wins, seven losses and one tie.
Also scoring in the rout were Angela Davies with three tries, Rebecca Kerswell with two, and Tyson Beukeboom, Laura Russell, Ashley Smith, Rikki Wylie and Nenagh McCulloch with one each. Michelle Moore slotted nine converts.
SFU’s only points came on a penalty try after a high tackle in the five-metre zone.
Beukeboom and Kerswell were selected as players of the game.
A few days before the game with SFU, Val-ley product Van Eeuwen has been invited to attend a Rugby Canada senior women’s camp at Shawnigan Lake School on March 16-20 to identify players for the 2017 Women’s World Cup. Ontario imports Beukeboom and Russell were also invited to the camp.
The Cowichan women have this weekend off, but have a home date with Seattle booked for March 19.

The Cowichan Piggies knew they would be playing their First Division rugby test last Saturday against a Port Alberni team that lacked manpower, so they set out to wear the Black Sheep down early.
They saw results right away as Peter Budina opened the scoring with a drop goal within the first five minutes, and Cowichan went on to win 41-5.
After Budina started things off, the Piggies got tries from James Patterson, Owen Wood and Mike Rea, along with a pair of conversions by Wood to build up a 22-0 lead by halftime.
“The last 10 minutes of the first, we went a little bit flat,” head coach Gord McGeachy said. “We took some unneces-sary penalties and got under pressure in our own end and couldn’t get anything going. We didn’t get scored on, but we didn’t manage to work our way out of our own half until almost halftime.”
Around the 15-minute mark of the second half, Budina crashed over the line for the Piggies’ fourth try, which Wood converted.
The Black Sheep scored their only try of the game around the 20-minute
mark. Cody Milne scored a try that was converted by Wood, and Mike Needham capped off the scoring with an uncon-verted effort.
The Piggies had hoped that their bonus-point win, combined with a loss by Nanaimo to league-leading Westshore would move Cowichan into
second place in the league, but got two bonus points of their own and held on to second place by a single point.
The Piggies have this weekend off as the B.C. rugby community focuses on the international sevens tournament in Vancouver, and will travel to Nanaimo for a key test on March 19.

Some exciting oppor-tunities are coming up for young basketball players in the Cowic-han Valley.
First up is a Spring Break development camp running March 14-16 at Cowichan Sec-ondary School, with separate sessions for Grades 4-7 and 8-10.
Run by coach Sand-eep Heer, the camp will focus on shooting form, ball-handling, attacking the basket at game speed, read-ing situations in com-petitive environments, fundamental defensive principles, and transi-tion play.
The cost is $70 per camper, or $60 for sib-lings. Grade 4-7 ses-sions run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Grade 8-10 sessions are from 1-4 p.m.
Heer is also starting a spring league focused on elite player develop-ment for athletes from grades 4-12.
The league will begin April 4, with eight ses-sions at Cowichan Sec-ondary on Mondays and Tuesdays. Players will be divided into four groups: Grade 4-6 boys and girls, Grade 7-9 boys and girls, Grade 8-12 girls, and Grade 10-12 boys.
Registration is $50 per player.

The Scott MacDonald rink took first place in the Farm-er Ben’s Eggs A event at the Duncan Curling Club Mixed Bonspiel last weekend.
Rounded out by Christine MacDonald and Mike and Chris-tine Moroz, the rink topped the foursome of Duaine Har-die, Kathy Yu, Ted Busko and Lorrie Hardie, who finished second. The rink of Keith Ains-ley, Susan Chepil, Sheldon Spier and Cheryl Cameron finished third, with Jason and Megan Montgomery, Nolan Reid and Kim Bahler in fourth.
The annual bonspiel at the Glen Harper Curling Centre attracted 24 teams.
“The ice was great, and every-body had a good time,” spokes-person Vicki Sjoberg said.
Sjoberg’s rink, which included Keith Clarke, Virginia Conway and Louise Martin, won the Berk’s Intertruck B event. The Klein Clan, skipped by Barry Klein with Susan MacIsaac and Susan and George Klein, finished second. Grace Predy, Diana Rochon, Larry Squire and Linda Larsson took third, and fourth place went to Jim and Andrea Henwood and Mur-ray and Margaret Riddell.
The Red Arrow Brewing Company C event was won by the Brent Dellebuur rink with Nanci Friday, Wayne Spiers and Vicki Janzen over the Harris rink skipped by Denis Sutton with Shannon Harris, Gerald Poelman and Tricia Habermehl. In third were Lorne Gauvin, Joanne Leitch, Sandy Stewart and Lynne Stewart, and John Elzinga, Kari McKinlay, Andy Skinner and Maria Elzinga claimed fourth.
Sjoberg expressed thanks on behalf of the organizers to the Duncan Canadian Tire store and to all the sponsors and volunteers.

BALTARE, Joan Ella (Nightingale)February 25, 2016
It is with great sadness that we, as a family, announce that Joan passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 25, 2016 at Cerwydden Care Centre in Duncan, British Columbia. She is survived by her loving family: husband of 58 years, Erwin of Lake Cowichan, BC; son Mark of Prince Albert, SK; son Blake (Karen) and grand-daughter Kate Joan of Sherwood Park, AB; brothers Peter (Elaine), Wilfrid (Helen), George (Mary), sister Hilda and numerous nieces and nephews. Joan was predeceased by her parents Wilfrid Richard Nightingale and Florence Sarah Nightingale. Joan was born in the county of East York which later became part of Toronto, Ontario, and moved with her parents to London, England when she was six. During WW II bombings of London she helped care for her younger siblings Peter, and Hilda when she and they were relocated to the countryside near Debenham. Soon afterwards, the family was reunited at Holymoorside near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. At age 14, Joan began work delivering mail as a post girl for a company called Robinson & Sons and later started attending night school to become a teacher. Joan returned to Canada in the early 50’s, and accepted a teaching position at the school in Youbou, BC. Here she met Erwin, the love of her life, and they were married at a small Youbou church on August 17, 1957. They made their first home in Lake Cowichan, BC, but moved to England a few years later where Mark was born. In 1962, the family moved to Parkside, Saskatchewan where Joan taught school, and they then moved to Prince Albert, SK a few years later where Blake was born. Joan and Erwin raised their family in Prince Albert, and retired to Lake Cowichan in 1993. Joan was a very gifted person. In Prince Albert, she re-entered the work-force when Mark and Blake were older, and held varied positions including a part-time librarian at a nursing college, a court reporter for social services where she utilized her short-hand skills, a part-time teacher and, lastly, head secretary at the provincial correctional centre. While working, Joan took correspondence classes along with some night school and, at age 54, received her Bachelor of Education degree with distinction from the University of Saskatchewan. Joan had an enthusiasm for life. She loved teaching, and exploring interests such as painting, pottery, weaving, sewing, rock-hounding, tai-chi, cooking, gardening, photography and travelling. In her late seventies she bought a computer, took classes and was soon sending e-mails and writing her memoirs. She valued education, and instilled this within her boys.Above all, Joan was a kind and loving person who was always ready to help other people if she could. As a wife, and mother she was tops; a true gift to her family. The kindness of Christ was within her, and was poured out into the lives of those around her. Her gentle integrity was rooted in her faith which she modeled from an early age in providing a Christian influence at various times and places. When someone passed on, she would comment “it’s a closing of a door”. She will always be remembered and loved by her family and those who knew her. We will keep her door open.The family gives special thanks to the staff at Cerwydden Care Centre, Duncan for their kind and compassionate care of Joan over the last four years. A private family service will be held for interment, and a celebration of Joan’s life is being planned for May 21, 2016. If desired, donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Cerwydden Care Centre, or charities of choice.

Peter loved motorcycles, fishing, hiking and kayaking. He hiked the length and breadth of Britain, and in Victoria he built his own kayak so he could explore the coastal waters around the south of the Island.
A loving husband and father, Peter was a committed church goer, had a strong sense of right and wrong, and an impish sense of humour. He will be missed by his family and hundreds of friends in England and Canada.
A big thank you to Dr. Froese, his primary care doctor, and to the doctors and nurses at Duncan Hospital for their care and concern.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother. Betty was born in Victoria, BC, she met her husband Rob in Prince Rupert and was married at the age of twenty. She lived with her husband for twelve years in Prince Rupert and then moved the family to Duncan where they lived out the rest of their lives. They had four children, two sons Robbie (Sharon) and Larry (Colleen) as well as two daughters Marilyn and Linda (Trent). They were blessed with nine grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren and two great great grandsons. Betty was predeceased by her sisters Eileen and Edna. Betty had many friends, one very special lady was Sally who was a large part of her daily life for thirty years. Moms favorite TV show was Survivor and she truly was a survivor herself. Betty was a war bride and that made her a much stronger woman with a bigger purpose in life. We are very blessed to have had such an incredible loving mother. Betty was very active and walked every day, she loved to be outside. She would also swim several times a week. Betty left us 94 years young. We will no longer feel her touch but we will always carry her spirit. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Sweet dreams Mom. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Jacques, Anna MarieMarie passed away peacefully at VGH March 4, 2016. Born October 14, 1949 in Port Alberni, owing to there being no hospital or doctor in Bamfield, the village where Marie grew up and loved forever. Finishing Grade 9 in Bamfield, Marie completed Grade 10 in Vancouver and grades 11 and 12 in Duncan. It was during Grade 11 in the fall of 1966 that she met Richard, who she married in the summer of 1969. Together they spent many days fishing, boating and puttering in and around Bamfield.
Marie completed her RN training at the RJH in 1972 and practised this profession with great pride as an operating room nurse in Duncan for the greater part of her career. Her pastime passions were her family, gardening and photography. Her garden, where she spent so much of her spare time, contained over 200 varieties of rhododendrons. Whenever you saw Marie in her garden, she always had a large smile.
Marie was predeceased by her parents Nan and Roald Ostrom and her sister Linda. She is survived by Richard, her husband of 46 years, and by her children and grandchildren: Jennifer, Luke, Jenaya, Lauren, Ryan, Connie, Sierra and Ethan. She is also survived by sister Carol and husband Roger, Linda’s husband Cliff, and extended family and good friends too large and too many to mention. No service by request.

Laurie MerrettApril 8, 1958 – March 8, 2016
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Laurie Merrett.

After graduation she backpacked through Europe with her cousin Kathy Williams, the two were affectionately
known as Lucy and Ethel.Upon her return to Duncan she met the love of her life, Mark Merrett. They were married three years later. Their daughter Jo-Lynne was born the following year and their son Todd was born two years later. As a young wife and mother working full time, Laurie decided to go to University where she successfully completed her degree in Social Work at the University of Victoria. She devoted her working career to helping others. This included running care homes, facilitation duties with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, victim services counselling and just a general love of helping other people. Laurie enjoyed gardening, cooking, reading, and travelling to warmer climates but nothing compared to her love of being a grandmother. She will be greatly missed by her husband and best friend of 35 years Mark; her children Sarah (Jason) Insley, Jo-Lynne (Dan) Wikkerink and Todd (Candis) Merrett. Her grandchildren who knew her as Mee-Maw and G-Ma include Mayhanna, Spencer, Rylan, Nova (Jellybean) and Akaysia (Cheeky), they will miss her beyond words.
