Plane crash sends two to hospitalKEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN
Two people were seriously injured after a small single-en-gine plane crashed at the Duncan Airport last Saturday afternoon.
The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. when the aircraft went down on a sloped area near the runway. The plane sustained sig-
nificant damage, and the occu-pants, a 55-year-old male pilot and 43-year-old female passenger, were badly hurt. The pilot was airlifted to Victoria General Hos-pital, while the passenger was taken by ground ambulance to Cowichan District Hospital.
Dave Morgan, president of the Duncan Flying Club, which runs
the airstrip south of the city, con-firmed that the pilot is a member of the club, but said he doesn’t live in Duncan. He spoke with the man on Monday as he rested in hospital, recovering from surgery on his knee and foot.
Morgan wasn’t sure of the cause of the crash, but was considering it might have been turbulence,
based on the weather the Cowic-han Valley was experiencing that day. “Nobody saw it,” he noted.
According to Cpl. Darren Lagan of the Island District RCMP, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada was informed of the crash immediately and an inves-tigation was under way.

SERIOUSLY INJURED CYCLIST AIRLIFTED AFTER CHEMAINUS CRASHChemainus volunteer firefighters and BC Ambulance personnel move a cyclist to a waiting helicopter following a collision last Saturday morning. Just before 8 a.m., the cyclist was struck by a vehicle near the intersection of Chemainus and Victoria roads. Two ground ambulances and one air ambulance responded, and the patient was flown to Victoria General Hospital in critical condition.[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

A 61-year-old man died in hospital last Saturday of injuries he sustained in a motorcycle crash on the Trans-Canada Highway near Ladysmith the previous Tuesday.
RCMP South Island Traffic Services continues to investigate the crash. Preliminary findings indicate that the 2015 Harley-Davidson motor-cycle was southbound when it collided with a Subaru station wagon that was stopped at the intersection of the highway and Oyster Sto’Lo Road.
A 61-year-old female who was a passenger on the motorcycle remains in hospital with serious injuries. The BC Coroners Service will release the identity of the deceased man “at the appropriate time.” RCMP said that the name of the female passenger will not be released.
Anyone who witnessed the crash should call South Island Traffic Services at 250-416-0352.

It’s back. For anyone who has been want-ing to buy fresh, local farm goods but didn’t know where to go, the Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Cowichan Food Map has the answers.
This map is produced each year by Cow-ichan Green Community to help residents and tourists alike find Valley wine, food and value-added products created and grown from Shawnigan Lake to south of Nanaimo.
“The map is a fantastic resource for fam-ilies who want to find local food grown right in their own neighbourhood or on their regular driving routes,” explained Cammy Lockwood, from Lockwood Farms. “The map really connects people to where their food is coming from.”
“Blessed with a Maritime-Mediterranean climate, the Cowichan region offers a sur-prisingly wide range of products from sea-sonal veggies to honey, wines, hot sauces, tea blends, hazelnuts, kiwis, saskatoons, and meats including grass-fed beef and rabbit,” said Heather Kaye, map coordin-ator. For 2015.
Searchers can also use the online search component at cowichangreencommunity.org/foodmap
Residents will find all their favourite farms on the map, plus some new ones they may not have heard of. New inclusions this year are Warmland Organics, Tanners Orchard, South Island Saskatoons, Uns-worth Vineyards, Romney Farm, Local Forage Farm, Caleana Farm, Local Fla-vours Farm, Wild Plum Farm, Green Fire Farm, Crackpot Florals, Carmenia Farm, Yellow Point Blues, the Garden Path Tea Garden, and Dogwood Ridge Farm and
Soap Factory.Kaye said that the launch of this year’s
map has been done to coincide with the launch of a new online marketplace for Cowichan food producers Cow-op.ca, where people can buy local online.
“For consumers, accessing and purchas-ing Cowichan-grown food has never been easier,” she said.
Get your map at the CGC’s Garden Pan-try Thrift Shop at 360 Duncan St. or phone 250-748-8506 for other pick-up locations near you. Check out the online version at www.cowichangreencommunity.org/foodmap

A Wildfire Smoke Advisory is in effect for the entire east and south coasts of Vancouver Island, including the Cowichan Valley area.
The advisory come as smoke obscured the sun and ash sifted down, creating a thin layer on cars, houses and gardens Sun-day. Many residents watched the smoke roll in on Sunday morn-ing, the haze turning the sun-light into an eerie orange glow.
The closest wildfire is burning north of Ladysmith, but smoke is blanketing the area from oth-er fires burning on Vancouver Island, and even Washington state.
The advisory has been issued by the provincial Ministry of Environment in collaboration with Island Health.
“Smoke concentrations will vary widely as winds, fire behaviour and temperatures
change,” the news release said. “This situation is expected to persist until meteorological con-ditions change.”
There had been some improve-ments by Tuesday morning, but the advisory was still in place.
People should avoid strenuous outdoor activities and contact their health care provider if they experience difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort, or sud-den onset of cough or irritation of the airways.
Particularly vulnerable are infants, the elderly and those with underlying medical condi-tions such as diabetes, lung or heart disease.
The ministry and Island Health also offered tips to protect your health, including staying cool and drinking plenty of fluids, considering visiting somewhere with cooler, filtered air such as a shopping mall and keeping an eye on your health.
The province is also reminding
residents to be careful with fire safety, as the fire hazard rating is extreme through much of the province including Cowichan. One hundred and eighty-four fires are being fought across the province, and there are nine evacuation alerts in effect, impacting over 800 homes the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations reported.
Twenty-seven new fires started in B.C. on Sunday. Campfires are banned, as is open burning. Offi-cials are also imploring smokers not to be careless with cigarette butts, particularly in dry grass along roadsides.
For general information about smoke and your health, contact HealthLink BC available toll free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 8-1-1, or at: www.health-linkbc.ca/kbaltindex.asp.
Real-time air quality informa-tion in B.C. is available at www.bcairquality.ca

As of today the Cowichan Val-ley is under stage 3 watering restrictions the Cowichan Valley Regional District announced.
“We are trying to encourage a culture of conservation,” said CVRD chair Jon Lefebure. “Because of climate change we definitely need to be concerned about our use of water and in the summer months when it is quite apparent that we have less water available we need to be careful with it.”
The move to stage 3 comes as the province moved Vancouver Island from a Level 3 to a Level 4 drought rating, recommending a target of maximum water use reduction.
Stage 3 restrictions take some water usage off the table entire-ly for residents. People are not allowed to water lawns, wash cars or boats, driveways, sidewalks or houses, unless preparing surfac-es for painting or preservatives or to prepare to pour concrete or asphalt.
Residents are also forbidden to fill swimming pools and hot tubs unless they’re only topping up the water level, and fountains and ponds that don’t re-circulate water must be turned off.
Municipalities and the school district will be limiting water-ing of playing fields, only using enough to avoid having to do cost-ly replacements of turf in the fall.
What is allowed is hand water-ing of gardens, trees and shrubs with a hose with a spring-loaded nozzle, watering bucket, or pail for a maximum of two hours per day, 6-8 a.m. or 8-10 p.m. People with micro-drip irrigation sys-
tems can still water their gar-dens, trees and shrubs at any time to a maximum of four hours per day.
For more information about restrictions go to your local gov-ernment website.
“Where we’re really suffering is in our rivers,” Lefebure said, emphasizing that while flows in the Chemainus, Cowichan and Koksilah rivers have dropped to alarming levels, domestic water supplies are not under threat of drying up, as long as use is responsible.
That doesn’t mean people should ignore restrictions and open up the taps, however, he said.
With climate change the Valley faces an uncertain future when it comes to water, Lefebure said. The main aquifers relied on by Cowichan’s municipalities do recharge annually, but residents can’t take water for granted. Indi-viduals on wells have been expe-riencing much more drastic low-ering of water levels he said, and we’re still just learning about the connections between the area’s major rivers and aquifers.
“As long as we use our water responsibly we believe we will be able to take care of that domestic water supply,” he said.
There’s another good reason to try to help keep reservoirs high, Lefebure said: fire.
Local fire departments count on these reservoirs to fight fires, and with smoke obscuring the sky its easy to see how vital this service is.
“We want to keep these reser-voirs as high as we can. Conser-vation helps us with that,” he said.
Water restrictions move to stage 3

Stead, Weaver, Nicholson right on future mass migration
Re: Area E talks climate change and official community plan
Hilary Stead, with Dr. Weaver, and Alison Nicholson, get it right on mass migration. The southwestern U.S.A. will begin to bail out in the coming dec-ade as the aquifers continue to disappear.
They will stay in the U.S.A. at first, then begin moving northward.
Though born in Canada, I grew up and retired from the U.S. I know the American mindset, and as they move into Canada, we will need a government intent on living in harmony with our climate predicament.
The current and past federal office holders have been seduced by the belief in eternal progress and money from extractive industries.
These worked well to get us where we are today. That is the cause of our predicament.
We need a government that will balance human and earthly, ecological needs before corpor-ate profits and the illusion of an easier life for all.
Look around you and think about how much stuff you gather and whether it is really necessary for happi-ness. Change the current feder-al and provincial governments to a government that listens to people and our planet and not corporate need.
Our world is going to change in ways that we cannot predict exactly, but science tells us that it will become increasingly uncomfortable, if not destroy us all.

Bad Habits in Maple Bay an enjoyable experience
My wife and I feel we must add our voice to the number of com-ments made recently regarding the Bad Habits restaurant in Maple Bay. We spent over an hour enjoying the super ocean view, a delicious cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll served by a very courteous young lady.
We agree with many others who have visited there, that this type of venue is most needed in Maple Bay.
It is obvious that the owner is putting her best efforts to add to this community. We wish her well.

People falling through information cracks
Today I saw a neighbour wash-ing ash (which was still falling) off her truck with a hose. This same neighbour waters her lawn with a sprinkler during the day.
Despite the City of Duncan’s slow response to raising our watering restrictions, the entire island is currently at stage four of this drought so today I stopped to talk to my neighbour. She said she had no idea about the drought but that she looks in the paper every week to see what the watering restriction is and she says she never sees it.
While she was within her right to wash her truck based on stage two water restrictions, I believe her that her intention is to fol-
low guidelines and I am writing to ask that the Citizen not only publish the water restrictions in each issue of the paper but to also ask that they are promin-ently displayed.
My neighbour is elderly and says “I am not online” and she cannot be alone. Please deliver this news consistently to your readers because people are fall-ing through the information cracks and we all need to be on the same page with this issue.

The eerie orange glow that settled over the Cowichan Valley on Sunday morning
as smoke filled our skies and ash began to fall from wildfires that continue to threaten other com-munities on Vancouver Island, in B.C. and in Washington state was about as dramatic a wake-up call as we can imagine.
People commented that it felt like we were suddenly in a film set in a post-apocalyptic era or on Mars or somewhere equally exotic.
But while the diminished air quality is downer, we’re the for-tunate ones.
Hundreds of people have been evacuated from their homes in other parts of the province.
All they can do is watch and hope that when the flames are finally extinguished they have a home to go back to.
Inevitably, some of them won’t.The closest fire to us here in
the Valley so far is one that began late last week north of Ladysmith. Port Alberni is also the location of a fire, as is Port Hardy.
Yes, we’re very lucky that so far we’ve been spared.
We further realize how fortun-ate we are when we consider
the words of Sgt. Wes Olsen of the Lake Cowichan RCMP from last week as he told us about how there are idiots who seem to think it’s okay to light fires near the lakeshore in remote locations that are only access-ible by boat, since they’re not as likely to get caught (or so they believe).
But their stupidity could eas-ily cost us all. Sure, these sites aren’t easily accessible to some-one whose going to make them put their fire out and possible give them a fine, but we can only imagine that they haven’t con-sidered that those same condi-
tions make it extremely hard, if not impossible, for a fire truck to get to them if things go awry.
We have no faith that such people know or care enough to make sure their fire is properly extinguished when they leave it.
If they were responsible, they wouldn’t have lit it in the first place.
Then there’s Olsen’s reminder to smokers that when they flick that cigarette butt out the car window everything is so tinder dry that they could spark a blaze that could eat up territory in the space between heartbeats.
It’s a grim reality that many of
the fires that are raging in the province are person-caused.
That’s even with all of the publicity around how dry every-thing is right now, and how you shouldn’t light a fire.
There will inevitably be acci-dents (somebody’s working with a piece of equipment that strikes a rock and causes a spark) and lightning to contend with. The last thing anyone needs is someone deliberately setting a match to tinder.
Right now a good wind from the right direction will blow the smoke into memory. Let’s keep it that way.

Thoughtful and respectful dialogue is at the heart of a democracy, and it is in that spirit that I write to clarify some assertions made by Mar-tin Barker in his recent letter.
I do agree with Dr. Barker that we must cut through political rhetoric and mis-information. Evidence-based decision making is critical for informing national policies, and with a change of gov-ernment in Ottawa, science will once again meaningfully contribute to the future of our country.
Indeed, hard decisions need to be made on Oct. 19, election day. Urgent action is required on the climate, and Canada needs MPs who are prepared for the deadline negotiations on a new climate treaty at the international climate talks in Paris on Nov. 30. The Green Party has a plan with firm and realistic commitments to take meaningful action on climate change, and we will work across party lines and across jurisdictional boundaries to deliver results.
And while it is alarmist for Dr. Barker to claim that our country could be reduced to “economic ashes”, it is true that, under the current government, Canada faces another recession as our econ-omy continues to shrink in 2015. Through short-sighted policies that favour the fos-sil-fuel sector, our economy has been left exposed to the international oil price slump.
Rather than having all our eggs in one basket, the Green Party proposes to diversify our economy by cutting taxes
to small businesses and cre-ating new jobs in Canada’s renewable energy sector. Wind farms need welders, solar panels need electricians, forest/agriculture bioenergy needs equipment operators and emerging technologies need scientists and innovative entrepreneurs. By expanding trades training, cutting taxes and bolstering retrofitting initiatives, Canadian workers and entrepreneurs will have the tools needed to make our existing infrastructure, homes, businesses, mills and factories more energy effi-cient. A consequence of these efficiencies is the reduction in our consumption of energy thus diminishing our need for oil and other fossil fuels.
It is incorrect to state that the Green Party would shut down Canada’s energy sector. We would not disband the oil sands; rather, we would curtail the expansion of this archaic resource extraction practice by eliminating fossil fuel subsidies and accelerating the transition to renewable energies, an industry that already employs more Can-adians than the oil sands. The current pro-fossil fuel regime in Ottawa has embraced poli-cies that actively subsidize one of the most profitable and environmentally costly sectors in our economy. This form of corporate welfare is a cost to Canadian taxpayers and is contrary to principles of free market capitalism. The International Monetary Fund recently reported that annual global fossil fuel subsidies totaled $5.4 trillion annually, or $10 million a minute. In Canada, according to the OECD, direct subsidies to oil
and gas producers amount to over $1.2 billion annually. If you take into account exter-nalities like environmental damage, infrastructure demands and health risks, total taxpayer subsidies to Canada’s fossil fuel industries are $34 billion annually.
Expansion of the fossil fuel energy sector exposes Can-adians to the risk of irrepar-able ecological damage and incalculable costs when — not if — an oil spill occurs on our coast. A recent poll in our riding showed that 52 per cent strongly disagree that B.C. would benefit from more oil tankers on our coast. To date, I am the only candidate in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford to publicly oppose increased tanker traffic on the Salish Sea, and as your MP, I will vote “no” to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline pro-ject. Representing your inter-ests in Ottawa, not the inter-ests of a political party, party leader or special interests, is my commitment to you. Our democracy needs courageous MPs who will not be forced by their party leader to com-promise their conscience or the wishes and needs of their constituents.
I look forward to a spirited debate in the upcoming elec-tion and have been inspired by the nature of my interactions with others who are seeking to be your MP in Ottawa. Thank you to those who have put their name forward to run for office as well as the public, who engage every week in the editorial pages. Together we make our democracy stronger.

Good deal for developer, bad for taxpayers
Re: Regina Drive park exchange: “Neighbours opposing parkland swap on Lakes.”
A strong part of the Official Community Plan was protection of green space and parkland; the proposed exchange would estab-lish a dangerous precedent for all of North Cowichan.
A walking path to Lakes Road is pointless as Lakes Road is already rarely walked on because of the dangerous speed and vol-ume of traffic. The possibility of children emerging on bicycles etc. should not be ignored either. According to an earlier report by the planning committee the proposed walkway would cost the municipality thousands of dol-lars each year to maintain. The park costs us nothing. Conclu-sion: altogether a very good deal for a developer and a very bad one for local residents and for all taxpayers in North Cowichan!

Thank you to city workers out on weekends
I would like to applaud the work of the City of Duncan for using the water tanks to keep the trees alive to the best of their ability while still conserving water use.
I would imagine just like other cities and municipalities that the workers that Mr. Sawchuk has seen are the ones that have a five day work week that includes weekends.
They are the ones who miss out on the regular family time while most of us are home enjoying our weekends.
No overtime involved. Thanks to those city and muni-
cipal workers that are out doing their jobs to keep our town a place we enjoy living.

Off -roaders were being considerate in photo
Regarding “Unlicensed vehicles a problem” photo dated July 20:
Had to chuckle at Mr. Scull’s photo of OHV’s pulled to the side of the trail — and his indignation of having them in his trailspace. He attempts to make a big deal of the fact that the citizens were offending him, but the photo clearly shows they pulled to the side of the trail to let the pedes-trians by.
Shame on you Scull for painting them as inconsiderate individ-uals for enjoying a pastime that you do not appreciate.

The bike was recently purchased for our grand-daughters, locked in our barn, adjacent to the open field that separates our land from the Evans Park baseball diamond.
It is believed the bike was removed to the road adjacent to the ball park.
We have the keys so the lock may be bypassed or ignition wires shorted. The kids miss it.
Reward for informa-tion leading to the bike’s recovery. Please contact the RCMP for additional information.

Changes needed to corporate taxation for our country’s future
Martin Barker attempted, again, to upsell the Harper Conservative government in his recent letter. He boasted that the federal government collects 10 per cent taxation revenue from the international oil corporations extracting oil resources in Canada. The question I ask is: “Why is only 10 per cent collected from these mega-billion dollar oil cartels?”
When taxation to the wealthy corporate sec-tor is reduced steadily under the Conservative/Liberal helm of the past 40 years, it is discov-ered our national debt has risen dramatically. I quote from the Fraser Institute: “The net direct debt of all three levels of government increased from $872.2 billion to $1.2 trillion between 2007/08 and 2011/12. Apart from direct debt, government indebtedness also includes debt guarantees, contingent liabilities and con-tractual commitments, and unfunded program obligations. When liabilities other than direct debt are included, the total liability of Can-adian governments (federal, provincial, and local) increases dramatically — to $4.1 trillion in 2011/12, up 20.9 per cent from 2007/08.”
This kind of debt is not acceptable for the residents of a Canada so rich in resources. In Norway, which is a country which does not pander to the corporate lobby, I discovered that Norwegian government taxes 75 per cent of the profits of the oil industry. Collecting 75 per cent of oil industry profits regularly has allowed Norwegians to amass over $1 trillion in their federal treasury. Their government and citizens are using that financial leverage to invest in the future, where they anticipate a shift from dependency on the oil industry.
The difference between a Conservative gov-ernment in Canada and a Norwegian govern-ment seems to be that in Norway their govern-ments serve the interests of the general popu-lation, while in Canada the elected officials of both Liberal and Conservative governments have been serving the interests and wishes of international corporations and chartered banks.
In Canada, I have witnessed the steady degradation of environmental protection poli-cies, of the unionized labour force, of education funding, and of heath care funding by Liberal/Conservative willingness to not top up govern-ment revenues with proper taxation and regu-lations to the resource extraction industries which frequent our shores.
“Canada is open for business” seems to be a message to international corporateers....”Come and exploit the resources of Canada, and our Conservative/Liberal governments will neither tax you, regulate you, nor even encourage you to process the resources in Canada.”
Some major shifts in government policy must occur in this next election. I do not see the corporate governance policies of Conservative/Liberal leaders being able to offer Canadian cit-izens the quality of life that a true democracy would.

The Crime Reduction Unit is back on the streets.Made up of 10 specialized and highly visible
officers from the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment, the unit’s main goal is to identify and stop criminal activity before it impacts the community. The 2015 team follows in the foot-steps of last year’s unit, which received recogni-tion and appreciation from the community for its presence throughout the region and particularly at large community events.
“The Crime Reduction Unit is designed to pro-vide a highly visible response to crime in our community,” detachment commander Insp. Ray Carfantan said. “This team will be proactive in their approach, be highly visible in the commun-ity, and remain focused on our goal of safe streets and neighbourhoods. I am looking forward to see-ing positive results from this team, as we did last summer.”
The officers on the Crime Reduction Unit have been temporarily reassigned from their regular duties, which include community policing, First Nations policing, and municipal traffic enforce-ment. They will return to those duties in the fall.
Among their assignments with the Crime Reduction Unit, they will be conducting bike and foot patrols in areas that are highly populated or which are considered problem areas, locat-ing people with outstanding warrants, and per-forming curfew checks and targeted enforcement on people or properties of concern. They will also be present at events such as Downtown Duncan Days, Sunfest, Rock of the Woods, and the Islands Folk Festival.

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
A provincial push to limit elections spending by munici-pal candidates is a good idea, but any regulations need to be carefully thought through.
That’s the view of John Kou-ry, who topped the spending in last fall’s municipal elections in the Valley, shelling out $24,361 in his attempt to reach the may-or’s chair in North Cowichan.
In the official disclosures published by Elections BC this week, the successful mayoralty candidate, Jon Lefebure, said he spent $21,975 on his campaign.
Even third-place Damir Wallener spent $8,519 on his campaign, still more than any other candidate for any office in the Cowichan Valley.
Meanwhile, Duncan Mayor Phil Kent performed his magic with very little money in the smaller community. He only spent $995 while runner-up Peter Lockhart Gordon shelled out $3,978 trying to get elected.
According to Black Press reporter, Tom Fletcher, a Legis-lature committee on local elec-tion spending has suggested “candidates for a council seat in a small community should be able to spend no more than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat.”
a population-based formula would limit a mayoral cam-paign for a city of 150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candi-dates limited to half that. The formula would limit a candi-date for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to just over $50,000, while Surrey’s popula-tion of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor.
“The small-town limits apply to communities up to 10,000 residents. For larger ones, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger than that.”
The idea is to make running for office accessible and afford-able no matter the size of the community.
The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legisla-ture, but so far the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the com-mittee have endorsed them unanimously, Fletcher said.
More specific limits for third-party advertisers might also be on the way.
Koury, who followed a stint on North Cowichan council with his run at the mayor’s chair, said that he likes the idea of limiting spending.
He said the Canadian feder-
al government “probably has one of the most robust election expense regimes in the world. I think we should follow the lead of the feds and look at a formula that limits municipal election spending. It’s different from the federal situation, of course, because from one muni-cipality to the next you have dif-ferent-sized populations. Feder-al ridings are basically 100,000 people per riding; we have 308 seats to reflect about 30 million people. They have what works out to be about a $1 a person figure. I like that figure.”
When Koury ran federally in 2011, his spending cap in 2011 worked out to about $1 per resi-dent — not voter, but resident.
Koury agreed that the prov-incial committee’s idea was “quite a bit less” than his idea, and doesn’t recognize that some costs are built in everywhere.
“It doesn’t seem appropriate. Coming up with the formula will require care and consider-ation. My advertising costs wouldn’t be any different if I were trying to promote my mayoral advocacy in the City of Duncan or North Cowichan. Obviously there’s a huge differ-ence in population between the two but the cost of advertising is the same.”
There’s a lot to be considered when it comes to spreading the word about a candidate.
“You’ve got newspaper adver-tising, and different things like direct mail and rack cards: it doesn’t matter from one juris-diction to the next, these costs are roughly the same. Then, in a tighter market, where there’s radio and all kinds of different media, all of that needs to be explored, too. To a point.
“If you make it fair by putting in some kind of formula that caps it, that forces campaign teams into wise spending. A cap means more attention to detail.”
Koury said that his campaign expenses in the 2014 municipal election “worked out to about $1 a constituent.
“There are about 27,000 residents in North Cowichan and I spent about $25,000. And the mayor who won spent roughly the same,” he pointed out.
“We prove to ourselves, Jon Lefebure and I, that this is the cost it takes to run an effective campaign as a front runner in the race. Anyone can run but if you want to be in the game, you need to be able to resource your campaign to meet the efforts of your closest competitor.”
Provincial officials have been thinking it might be time to limit third-party spending, too, and Koury said that’s certainly worth a look.
“I completely agree that that can get carried away
when special interests start to get involved. For instance, if unions or the corporate world start donating large amounts of money, it could easily run into a disproportionate amount of spending for the community that you are trying to serve,” he said.
“I do believe there has to be an examination on what the work-ing formula is. I think a $1 per citizen formula is a good place to start from.”
Lefebure said that had the recommended spending limits been in place for the fall’s elec-tions would have been unlikely to have cut his spending.
“It sounds to me like that number off the top of my head works out to about $22,000. The number which was originally put in the paper was higher than we actually spent. We put in a bunch of money of our own but it wasn’t all spent. We spent about $19,000,” he said.
Even that was higher than expected because of a social media campaign, according to Lefebure.
The mayor said he has no problem at all with the limits “as long as we have everybody playing under the same rules.”
It could also benefit some can-didates, he said.
“There are people, obviously, who can’t afford to spend any-where near that kind of money so I’m very comfortable with there being limits on spending.”
Lefebure said it’s time for such a move.
“Things have gotten more aggressive at the local govern-ment level. The numbers have been getting higher, including mine.”
However, he’s not sure about all the details.
“They got a little crazy over having to have your name on all the signs and all the myr-iad details and having to place some kind of a value on your old signs but maybe in some of the bigger markets that was a bigger factor. The limits to campaign funding, I can under-stand, though.”
Third party advertisers have not been a big factor locally but Lefebure ran into a situation in his campaign.
“One of our supporters want-ed to put an ad in the paper just on her own and mention me. That was all of a sudden a third party ad and she had to fill out forms and so on. I guess if you are looking at the bigger cities, it could be something really significant. I haven’t seen much need for it here but maybe as a precaution if you didn’t take note of it there would be an opportunity for a candidate to use that as a way to bypass a cap on expenditures.”

CHARLENE LEE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
Wear something purple on July 12 and join the BC Purple Martin Stewardship and Recovery Program at its 11th annual open house at the Ladysmith Maritime Society marina from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. to celebrate the return of western purple martins, a Species At Risk in B.C.
The B.C. purple martin population has increased from a low of five breeding pairs in 1985 to over a 1,000 nesting pairs in 2014, main-ly as a result of nest boxes built, installed and maintained by volunteers. There has been good return of adult birds and a low return of one-year olds, as expected. There were two periods of cool wet weather last summer that resulted in a lower number of young being produced in 2014.
“Although the final count for 2015 is not yet available, there has been an exceptional return of two- and three-year-old birds this year. Many central island colonies are again fully or almost fully occupied. This is very exciting to see,” said Program Biologist Bruce Cousens. “The martin colony at the LMS marina is the largest on Van-couver Island and we’re expecting about 80 pairs again this year.”
In the Duncan area, purple martins can be seen and heard around the pilings at Cowichan Bay, the second largest colony on Vancouver Island with about 60 pairs of martins.
Visitors will be able to watch adults feeding nestlings, learn more about the conservation of purple martins at the displays and hear stories about purple martins activities around the Strait of Georgia and other parts of Canada. Martin nestlings will be banded at a session scheduled for 3 p.m. during the open house.
Light refreshments and the famous purple (blueberry) milkshakes will be served while quantities last. When you get to Ladysmith, fol-low the yellow signs to the marina and park in the upper parking lot.
The BC Purple Martin Stewardship and Recov-ery Program is coordinated by Georgia Basin Ecological Assessment and Restoration Society of Nanaimo. The Recovery Program is supported by BC Hydro, Conservancy Hornby Island, Island Timberlands, Ladysmith Maritime Society, Mid Island Coop, Pacific Conservation Assistance Fund, Pender Island Conservancy Association, Rocky Point Bird Observatory, TimberWest, Victoria Natural History Society, and Western Purple Martin Foundation as well as individuals, volunteers and local businesses.
Purple martins a recovery success
Young purple martins in a nestbox call out to their parents for food. The number of nestlings of this Species At Risk has increased dramatically through the BC Purple Martin Stewardship and Recovery Program.[SUBMITTED]

74 of country’s 500 historic lighthouses granted heritage statusJust two days
apart, these head-lines in the Times
Colonist couldn’t have been more unalike or, alas, more illuminating.
Friday, May 29: Deadline looms on heritage status for surplus lighthouses.
Sunday, May 31: Historic lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard survives painstaking move.
The Martha’s Vineyard hint aside, do I have to tell you which article refers to the Canadian government’s approach to our heritage lighthouses and which tells us about the American approach?
Here, we have “scores of Can-ada’s surplus” lighthouses up for disposal or, may wonders never cease, possible heritage designation. Even this list isn’t complete, according to Barry MacDonald of the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Soci-ety. For 17 years he has worked to protect historic lighthouses across the country and he believes that the federal govern-ment’s five-year plan to divest itself of “surplus” lighthouses is giving many of them with historic significance the bum’s rush.
Some of those 970 lighthouses and beacons that were declared
redundant in 2010 are intended (a la Sooke’s historic Shering-ham Lighthouse) to be transferred to community groups and other levels of government for their preservation. But no fewer than 348 have sparked public petitions under the
federal Heritage Lighthouse Preservation Act which gives Parks Canada the deciding vote on which lighthouses stay and which go. So far, the government has granted heritage status to 74 lighthouses, of which 42 will continue in active service as navigational aids and 32 will be deactivated and transferred to other government levels or be taken in hand by various com-munity groups.
Not good enough, says, MacDonald.
Last week, it was officially confirmed that 74 lighthouses in seven provinces (and possibly another 50 over the next two years) will be preserved under the Heritage Lighthouse Pro-tection Act (a story in itself) 21 of them in B.C. That may sound impressive but Marc Sequin, head of the non-profit group Save Our Lighthouses, considers it a good first step but no more (he’s quoted by Canadian Press) as there are “about 500 historic
lighthouses worth preserving in Canada”.
In other words, even the com-bined total, 124, represents just a quarter of Canada’s heritage lighthouses. “That means 75 per cent...have really been orphaned,” said the Ontario resi-dent. He believes that Ottawa must come up with more money for funding the 150 municipal-ities and community groups that have submitted business plans to preserve their local lighthouses. The sums men-tioned — $5 million to repair the historic lighthouses that
the government will retain and another $1 million in grants and contributions is to be divided between the public applicants.
This latter sum works out to an average of, if this figure is correct, all of $3,125 per lighthouse!
The 21 heritage-designated lighthouses for B.C. (11 of them are on Vancouver Island) are: Active Pass on Mayne Island; Boat Bluff in the Kitimat-Stikine area; Alerni-Clayoquot’s Cape Beale; Cape Mudge on Quadra Island; the west coast’s Carmanah Point (given in news
reports as being situated in the Cowichan Valley!); Dryad Point, B.C. central coast; East Point on Saturna Island; Egg Island, Port Hardy; Entrance Island, Nanaimo; Esteven Point, north-west of Tofino; Fisgard, Victoria (for years part of Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Park); Green Island, Prince Rupert; Langara Point, Masset, Haida Gwaii; McInnes Island, Milbanke Sound; Merry Island, Sunshine Coast; Nootka and Pachena Point, west coast of Vancouver Island; Pulteney Point, Port McNeill; Sheringham Point, Sooke; Trial Islands, Oak Bay; and Triple Islands in the Skeena district.
Conspicuously missing from this list is the province’s second and perhaps most famous light-house, Race Rocks.
Now compare this to late May’s news report from Martha’s Vine-yard where they not only rec-ognized a historic lighthouses’ heritage value but, at great expense, shifted the 160-year-old Gay Head Light 41 metres to where it will be secured to a new foundation. This was no simple task, the lighthouse being four storeys tall and weighing 400 tonnes!
How far, do you suppose, would $3,124 (Canadian) go towards that?

Distracted driving: add your voiceTIM SCHEWE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
British Columbians are very concerned about the threat posed by distracted driv-ing according to those leaving feedback
on the government web site created to solicit public input on the subject.
Our province has the second lowest penalties for those caught handling a cellular phone when they should be paying attention to the road. Should those penalties be higher and if so, how much higher?
Setting penalties is a delicate balance I’m sure. Set them too high and the police won’t apply them, the courts are taxed and the jus-tices will not convict. Set them too low and it becomes just the cost of doing business.
I can hear the comment “it’s nothing but a cash grab” echoing in the background right now. Your input may make the level selected “just right.”
I would lean toward something like the old 24 hour prohibition. Get caught and lose your driving privileges for a day. Accumulate too many and RoadSafetyBC can step in and take a driver’s licence away for a longer period. Sadly, some drivers will continue driving anyway, but more severe sanctions await them if they do.
You now have about two weeks left to take part in the survey which closes on July 16. You can Tweet using the hash tag #distractedBC, e-mail your thoughts to [email protected] or Join the Discussion at engage.gov.bc.ca.

Three-time Grammy-winning artist and New Country pioneer Steve Earle and his band The Dukes hit the big stage at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, Aug. 31.
The show, which starts at 7:30 p.m., is a coup for the theatre as it is the Earle’s only Island date and is sure to sell out.
Tickets are on sale now on the cowichan pac.ca website and through the Cowichan Ticket Centre at 250-748-7529, for $55 each.
Although he’s been touring solo for a while, he’s now back with his band, tak-ing audiences on an exciting ride through country music with stops at honky tonk
and rockabilly, raucous stomps and ballads and Texas blues.
A famous social activist, Earle also brings passion to his music.
Favourites like Copperhead Road never fail to get the crowd stomping, proving that thoughtful lyrics with fantastic music always leaves the audience satisfied.
The Mastersons will open the show. This husband and wife team complement Ear-le’s set perfectly, in part because they’re members of the Dukes. They have often opened sets for Earle, and audiences love how the opening and main set meld.
The Mastersons’ music, like Earle’s, is impossible to pigeonhole. The virtuoso duo play rootsy, twangy, melodic pop songs.
Steve Earle, Grammy winner, heads to Duncan
Although legendary entertainer Steve Earle sometimes performs solo, he is bringing his band, The Dukes, with him to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre. [SUBMITTED]

A Victoria singer-songwriter got a boost from a Lake Cowic-han photographer after illness shoved her musical dreams to the back burner recently.
Kristia Di Gregorio was stunned last year by a shock-ing breast cancer diagnosis. She had just released The Whiplash Curve, recorded with Juno-winning producer Joby Baker, when the news came and was forced to cancel tour plans, hang up the guitar and enter chemotherapy.
A dedicated performer, she mourned her project at the same time she was facing des-perate fears about her health.
Photographer Kimberley Yanick heard her story though a mutual friend on Facebook and offered a photo shoot to document the change in Di Gre-gorio’s body post-mastectomy.
Upon meeting they realized
this would not be an ordinary shoot.
Di Gregorio had been toying with an idea for a music video that involved dressing up as the goddess Artemis, a hunt-ress and reliever of women’s diseases, and was inspired by Yanick’s portraits of strongly feminine women.
“She was the perfect photog-rapher to bring this idea to life,” Di Gregorio said in a note to the Citizen last week.
By a stroke of good luck, she said, artists Two Brothers One Vision (Larry and Darren Dibb) had a gilded antler crown in the works that would be a perfect fit for a hunter-goddess. Design-ers of a jewelry line, they had also been creating sculptural head pieces for a number of Yanick’s shoots.
Di Gregorio is thrilled with the results.
“The image these artists have created is strikingly defiant. A
missing breast, a chest exposed, golden antlers and a scar gilded in gold leaf much like broken Japanese pottery is repaired with gold in an art form called Kintsugi — a philosophy that celebrates breakage, rather than seeking to hide it. I hope that other young women who are fighting breast cancer will see my photo and be able to draw some courage from it,” she said.
The artists have another col-laboration in the works with a music video for a song called Oh My Heart (written when Di Gregorio started to experience the chest pains that would lead to the discovery of her cancer) which is now being filmed with Hemstock Films and world-re-nowned dancer Joel Hanna.

The popular Themed Sunday shows, part of the 39 Days of July, are back again this year from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the CUPE stage at Charles Hoey park.
The colourful Intercultural Day show takes over the out-door space on July 12.
The Cowichan Intercultural Society is putting together four hours of lively entertainment, featuring dancers, speakers and others to showcase ethnic diversity.
The following week, on Sunday, July 19, following a multi-denominational worship hour at Duncan City Square stage, from 10 to 11 a.m., the action moves to Charles Hoey park again for Children’s Day but on July 26, the Sunday theme is Gospel Music Day on the CUPE stage.
The Church of the Nazarene offers a musical service to start the day, followed by Harold Anderson with an hour of clas-sic gospel music.
The last themed Sunday is Aug. 2. It all winds up with Country Music Appreciation Day from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. featur-ing acts like Bluegrass Fever, Harold Anderson, Kelly Roxan-ne Gervin, The Wild Sundays, Hope King and finally Daniel
Cook and the Henchmen to round out the evening.
These are all fun events, each attracting their own core crowds of supporters but every-one is so friendly that newcom-ers will soon feel welcome so make your way downtown on Sundays.
Walkabout Wednesday feature food and fun
Another fun 39 Days feature is Walkabout Wednesdays, cen-tered in the shopping core and around the stage in Duncan City Square, offering evening excitement from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
This is a chance for com-munity folks to stroll through beautiful downtown Duncan and gather in City Square to sit back and enjoy (or dance your shoes off) to various exciting touring acts.
Bring those lawn chairs and your neighbours for some fun evenings.
Organizers are promising there will be food vendors this year.
The Walkabout Wednesday stage schedule is tasty, too.
On Wednesday, July 8, at 7:30 p.m. Reid Williams and the Brethren are the opening act, followed at 8:30 p.m by Kane and Potvin (of Grapes of
Wrath/Northern Pikes fame).Bryan Potvin and Kevin Kane,
after years working separately on the music trail, found them-selves living in the same neigh-bourhood in Toronto and decid-ed to hang out with a couple of guitars.
They loved the sounds they were making and started to play some shows together just over a year ago.
With work on an album start-ed, they are launching a Pledge Music campaign in July to raise money to record additional songs.
Look for a show featuring some of their old favourites and a new tune or two.
The following Wednesday, on July 15, at 7:30 p.m., Quebec’s Les Poules a Colin lead off, with Bongeziwe Mabandla, an award-winning singer/song-writer from South Africa, tak-ing the stage at 8:30 p.m.
On July 22, at 7:30 p.m. it’s the Russell de Carle Trio. (You’ll recognize him from Prairie Oyster.) They’re followed at 8:30 p.m. by the country rock of Daniel Cook and the Henchmen.
Finally, on July 29, at 7:30 p.m. Downtown Mischief opens the final Wednesday concert, fol-lowed at 8:30 by the wide-ran-ging rock of Towers and Trees from Victoria.
39 Days celebrates Sundays, Wednesdays
Every Sunday during the festival has a theme, and, in 2014, the colourful Intercultural Day show featuring a group of talented Mexican dancers was a big hit with the audience. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

The table is set for the 31st Islands Folk Festival on July 24-26.
Festival director Bobbie Blue is excited.
“The musical acts are all booked, the craft vendors are all signed up, the food vendors are in place, and 300 volunteers are ready to work their hearts out,” she said.
The festival has a strong connec-tion to its venue: Providence Farm, on Tzouhalem Road.
The site is actually a working organic farm “dedicated to restor-ing the spirit and skills of those with physical, mental and emo-tional challenges,” Blue said.
With camping available onsite, it’s been a family draw for decades, pulling fans back year after year.
In addition, the Folk Festival “strives to be low impact and kind to the earth, so we are a zero waste certified event, and we offer a free shuttle service from downtown Duncan to the festival site,” she said.
Tickets and camping passes are now available at https://islands folk.tickit.ca/. All tickets and camping passes will be available for purchase online until July 22, unless otherwise marked.
After that date, admission tickets will only be available at the main
gate from 3 p.m. July 24. Children under 13 can attend the festival free of charge. Children over 12 will require an adult ticket. Camp-ing passes will be available at the main gate from 1 p.m. July 24.
In another green move, the fes-tival is teaming up with Cycle Therapy Bikes so festival-loving cyclists can leave the car at home, cycle to the festival, and check that bike into a supervised bike lock-up.
The bicycle lock-up will be locat-ed to the left of the main gate and the cost is by donation. Bike lock-up hours are Friday, 1 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Folk Festival has also issued a notice about its fire hazard policy.
“Due to the high temperatures and the dry weather that the Cow-ichan Valley has experienced this summer the Islands Folk Festival and Providence Farm are being extremely careful. Smoking will be permitted in designated areas only. No Exceptions. Providence Farm is a non-smoking property. During the Festival, anyone found smoking (including e-cigarettes) outside of a designated smoking area will be asked by security to cease and desist. A second viola-tion will result in removal from the Festival. We love this farm and the fire hazard is extreme,” Blue said.

ROSEMARY RADELET
With a deep sense of love and loss, we announce the passing of Rosemary Radelet on June 25, 2015. Born the only child of Evelyn and Wilf Ramsay in Vancouver on September 16, 1933, she found her calling as a creative and dedicated teacher. In 1955 she married John Russel (Jack) Radelet and moved north to Prince Ru-pert and then to Terrace, where they raised their family. In 1996, after more than 30 years of teaching young children, Rosemary retired from E.T. Kenney school. Soon after Jack died in 2008, “Roses” moved to Vancouver Island to be closer to family. This First May Queen of Marpole, Speller Extraordinaire, and Print Shop Maven leaves behind friends from Vancouver, Terrace and the Cowichan Valley. Also left to mourn her passing: her children James Radelet (and Mona), Mike Radelet (and Alice) and Laurie Sheftel (and David); her grandchildren Natasha Mulhall, K.C. and Caleb Roome, and Benjamin and Jesse Sheftel; her great-grandchildren Zoe and A.J. Roome; her Mexican exchange students; and her sisters-in-law Signe and Anne and many cousins, niec-es, and nephews. Heartfelt thanks go to the workers at Sunridge Assisted Living and to Dr.Glaude and the staff at Cowichan District Hospital for their gentle care.
A celebration of Rosemary’s life will be held at the Meadows, Sunridge Place, 574 Coronation Ave., Duncan on Thursday July 9th at 2:30. In lieu of fl owers, Mom asked that loving donations be made to Suwilaawks Community School, 3430 Sparks Street, Terrace BC V8G 2V3.
Kenneth Christopher BoydOctober 23, 1923 to June 25, 2015
Ken is survived by his son, Kenny (Pauline), daughter Sharon (Rob); grandchildren Shawn (Darcy), Deanna (Trevor); and four great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Florence and his six siblings. Dad was a bomber pilot in WWII. He ran his own logging company and was a raw land developer and businessman.
This was Dad’s favourite poem:Oh the whiskey was spilled on the bar-room floor
And the bar was closed for the night.A little grey mouse came out of his hole in the floor,
To dance in the pale moonlight.He lapped up the whiskey on the bar-room floor
And back on his haunches he sat.And all through the night, you could hear him roar,
“Bring on the goddamn cat!”
A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 11, 2015 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Eagles’ Hall, 2965 Boys Road, Duncan, BC.

After leading last week’s B.C. Women’s Amateur at Duncan Meadows for the first three days, Surrey’s Michelle Kim had to hold off a charge by her older sister Taylor on the final day to claim the 2015 Flumerfelt Cup.
Michelle shot a one-under 71 in her final round to finish three-under at 285 over four days. Tay-lor, the defending champion, shot a brilliant four-under 68 in
her final round to finish a single stroke back of Michelle.
“I’m very happy,” Michelle said after her victory. “It is so awe-some to have my name under-neath Taylor’s on this trophy.”
Taylor Kim was one of three golfers to shoot a round of 68 during the tournament, joining Richmond’s Alisha Lau (who tied Langley’s Gloria Choi for third) and Nanoose Bay’s Shelly Stouffer. That score is just one stroke short of the course record of 67 shot by Paula Creamer in 2002. Then 16, Creamer would go on to the LPGA Tour, winning the U.S. Women’s Open in 2010.
The Kim sisters and Gloria Choi comprise the B.C. team for
the Canadian Women’s Ama-teur, which will be held July 28-31 in Saskatoon. Choi earned her spot by Alisha Lau in a two-hole sudden death playoff Friday afternoon.
Among local entries, Karen Kloske of Lake Cowichan and March Meadows Golf Club end-ed up shooting all four rounds, and finished at a 41-over 329. Three others made the cut after the first two days, but weren’t in the group that advanced to the final round: Darleen Michell of Ladysmith/Mount Brenton (252 over three rounds), Krista Nabb of Duncan/Duncan Meadows (256), and Mary Braithwaite of Duncan/Duncan Meadows (268).

The Duncan Angels beat Lay-ritz 11-10 in the championship game late last month to win the Greater Victoria Baseball Asso-ciation’s bantam A title.
The Angels held a nine-run lead after the first two innings, but the bats suddenly went cold and
the fielders made a few errors, and the score was tied by the middle of the sixth. A run in the bottom of the sixth put Duncan ahead once again, but Layritz tied it up in the seventh, for-cing some clutch hitting by the Angels to win it.
“It was a really good season,” coach Geoff Annandale said.
“It was a nice group of kids, and they came together pretty good.”
The playoffs started with pool play, and the Angels finished second in the A pool to move on to the semifinal against Carnar-von, who won the B pool. The Angels beat Carnarvon in their semi, while Layritz got past Ladysmith in the other semi.

A last-minute penalty kick gave Costa Rica’s Real Cartago a nar-row 2-1 victory over the Cowic-han Classics in an international friendly game at Duncan’s McAdam Park on June 30.
“Somebody ran into one of their players in the box,” Classics organizer Martin Best lamented.
Best estimated that the Cow-ichan team had about 70 per cent of the possession in the game, but had trouble finishing. The 35-degree heat didn’t help, although the Central American
squad may have been better pre-pared for the conditions.
A close loss to Real Cartago team wasn’t anything to be ashamed of, as the Costa Rican team went on to a tournament in Victoria where they beat a local team and an American entry, and battled to a draw with a Mex-ican team.
The Cowichan Classics have a 10-year relationship with Real Cartago, and have travelled to Costa Rica and Mexico to play games against them, in addition to hosting multiple games in Duncan.

It was a rare outing for the Gord Closson Forest Products Softball Club last Thursday as they didn’t blast any home runs over the Waldon Park outfield fence, but a dominant pitching performance by Craig Snyder and offensive contributions from throughout the lineup were enough to earn a 5-0 win over Lantzville Pub.
Snyder retired the first nine Lantzville batters in order and
ended up striking out 13 while surrendering just three hits over seven innings. His team, mean-while, scored twice in the first inning and three times in the fourth to provide support.
Snyder himself was 3-for-4 with two runs, while Marty Steen went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, two runs and one RBI. Brad Robinson was 1-for-3 with two RBIs, Steve Lingren went 2-for-2, Trevor Gicas was 1-for-3 with one RBI, and Mitch Devana
went 1-for-3 with a run.Dave Devana didn’t get a hit,
but was credited with an RBI when a mix-up caused Wheat-sheaf to throw him out on a field-er’s choice while a runner scored.
GCFP will play their final league game this Thursday at Waldon Park against Wheat-sheaf, beginning at 7 p.m. The league playoffs are scheduled to start next week, with second-place GCFP expected to host the third-place team.
