Smoke detector saves Duncan couple from fi reDon BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

A blaze just before midnight Sunday at 491 Bundock St. in Duncan once again proved the value of properly-working smoke detectors.

Occupants Karen and Nathan Taylor escaped unharmed from the re at their residence.

“They woke up to their smoke detector,’’ said Duncan re chief Mike McKinlay. “Their living room was on re. The smoke detector saved their lives.’’

The residence was already fully engulfed when 23 Duncan re ghters arrived on four trucks.

“It was coming out the front windows of the living room,’’ said McKinlay.

He added it took about two hours to mop up the blaze.

There’s an apartment block on the north side and an eight-unit facility to the south of the residence, McKinlay said, but there was no danger of the blaze spreading.

A nearby power line caught re, but “they burnt off at the pole,’’ said McKinlay.

The family has been displaced from its home temporarily.

“We provided them with emergency social services, as usual,’’ said Sybille Sanderson, general manager of the public safety depart-ment for the Cowichan Valley Regional District. “As far as I know, they are OK and have family and friends to stay with.’’

It’s believed the house was insured, but not the contents. The cause of the re was not known.

A closer inspection into the cause was delayed by a day due to resources being sent to Port Alberni for an investigation into a fatality.

Stephanie Donahue, who lives right across from the burned-out residence on Powell Street, has started a collection for the couple via Facebook and word of mouth.

Donations can be dropped off at Dona-hue’s father’s business, Duncan Auto Glass, at Unit 3-2905 Allenby Road between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Appalled driverswatch as pooch beaten like a dogAshley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial

The word about a low-life Cowichanian who assaulted a Boston Terrier in front of bystanders is spreading like wild re on Co-wichan’s social media pages.

“We’ve had 22,000 page visits and 348 shares. I’m absolutely gobsmacked,” said Chris Davies Tuesday af-ter a Facebook post he created telling the nasty and violent story he and wife Leigh witnessed Sunday afternoon.

“We were witnesses today to the shocking, horri cally emotional abuse of a lovely little Boston Terrier,” Davies, owner of Mid Island Ink Depot, said on the post.

The couple was driving on Cowichan Lake Road when they spotted the dog stepping with cau-tion onto the road at the Gerz Road turnoff, he explained. They slowed and pulled over, ash-ing their lights to warn oncoming traf c to stop. That’s when the situation turned ugly.

“We saw a 20-some-thing thug coming down Gerz Road, obviously the

owner of (the dog) shouting... (The dog) was cowering now and sat down in the middle of the road.”

According to Davies, the “thug” then pinned the terrier by the neck to the road and punched him three times in the head. And that’s not all.

“He then picks him up by the scruff and ings him over the road and into the ditch,” said Davies.

Davies as well as another bystander addressed the man and heated words were exchanged, including what Davies said was a nasty threat by the man to his wife, Leigh, when she said she was going to call 911.

“He said, ‘I’ll f---ing kill you if you dial 911,” said Davies.Now back in their vehicle, Chris and Leigh, who had

also called police by then, followed the man to the house he came from at 4400 Inwood Creek Rd. They pointed the house out to police of cers.

North Cowichan/Duncan Cpl. Jon Stuart con rmed the incident is under investigation.

“The police have located and spoken to the male, and checked out the dog to ensure no visible injury,” said Stuart. “This matter and all relevant information, has been referred to the SPCA for their subsequent investigation and follow up, as they are the lead agency in these sort of les.”

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Instinct to help others in danger drove Nick Lysne to rescue folks from their crumpled RV outside Duncan two years ago — earning a medal for his heroics.

“You always wonder how you’d react, but I was pleased to understand I could do what I wanted to help out, without thinking about it,” the Duncan native said of the poten-tially explosive wreck.

He and fellow hero Daniel Paulusse were to receive Royal Canadian Humane Associa-tion Canada Bravery Awards Tuesday from Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon at Surrey’s RCMP headquarters.

Honorary Testimonial Certi cates were also set for Ashli Bell, and Nick’s mom Vanessa Lysne, who also helped save the dazed couple on Oct. 10, 2011.

“It was near Whippletree Junction and rain-ing lightly,” Lysne remembered of heading south with Vanessa to Victoria.

Then he saw erratic motion by the south-bound motorhome ahead.

“I saw it jerk a bit then drift to the side, hit the barrier and bounce off. It then hit it again and it was literally airborne, then on its side along the barrier for 200 feet, taking out a couple of signs.”

The careening RV ended on its right side on the median as Lysne, now 24, told his mom to stop their car.

“I got out and ran to the RV.”He and another guy — Lysne assumes Pau-

lusse — reached the mangled motorhome.“We could see the driver inside; he was con-

scious and staring forward, still strapped in. I boosted another man up to see if he could get in,” he said of the driver’s side aimed skyward. “There was uid leaking — gas pouring into the ditch. We gured it could go up anytime, so we started kicking in the windshield.”

A rst-responder arrived and gave instruc-

tions.“We got the gentleman out of his seatbelt

and out, and sat him on the barrier.”Then the man’s wife was found in the rear

bedroom where she may have been asleep on impact.

“The cupboards were open and there was stuff everywhere,” Lysne said. “We were crawl-ing through sideways — a cat in there had gone ballistic and the guy who grabbed it got

all scratched.“Me, the rst responder and another man

got to the lady; she seemed OK, but also in shock, and saying “My beautiful RV.’ We led her out as re ghters showed up.”

Lysne, who was unhurt, wasn’t sure why he leaped to action.

“There was a chance it could go up, and you couldn’t leave them in there. It was surreal, like a movie, then you realize it’s real. There were

people in there and you had to help them.”Vanessa suffered hand cuts during the rescue.Nick heard from police the couple was basi-

cally unhurt after a suspected case of hydro-planing.

The Surrey Walmart worker’s now mulling work with the Canadian Border Services.

“The award’s kind of surreal. I don’t feel I deserve it; there were lots of people there and they all helped out,” Lysne said.

Reporter honoured for coverage of arrest in double murderA former News Leader Pictorial

reporter’s coverage of a high-profi le double murder arrest has earned her a prestigious provincial newswriting honour.

On Saturday, Krista Siefken (left) earned the B.C. and Yukon Community

Newspaper Association award for best feature article — probably the event’s most competitive individual category — for her piece Finding Forgiveness.

The award was presented at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond April 20, one year to the day after William

Elliott was arrested in the murders of Tyeshia Jones and Karrie Ann Stone.

Siefken was not there in person to re-ceive her fi rst BCYCNA statuette since she’s now living in England.

Phoenix Motor Inn’s fresh downtown mural illustrates some positive lessons for young artist Cyrus Genier.

From fierce political fires — that saw Genier’s former Community artwork disallowed by city council as graffiti — has emerged, noted muralist Barry Coté helping Genier generate a new Unity mural design, recently approved by council.

That rendering, depicting trees, a river, mountains and flowers, was first vetted by the city’s fledgling arts-jury then sent to councillors for approval.

“It’s a win-win-win,” said Council-lor Sharon Jackson, satisfied the new arts-jury process worked well.

“Cyrus gets to do another mural, and learn from a professional.”

Coté explained he was eager to teach talented Genier air-brushing techniques toward finishing Unity by week’s end on the Phoenix’s private, 60- by 10-foot wall, facing west.

“Cyrus’ stuff’s roundy; my stuff’s pointy,” joked Coté, who’s given spray-painter Genier a used air-brush for the exterior-paint project.

“Council wanted something more reflective of the Cowichan area,” Coté said.

He noted several folks visited the sunny site Saturday, angry council ordered Genier to paint over his former controversial artwork.

Genier explained how he remained confused how council had approv-ing powers about artwork on a wall

owned by the Phoenix — whose owners commissioned Community.

Still, he was amped about learning air-brushing from Coté, a 45-year arts veteran whose work graces Khowhemun school and other local surfaces.

“Barry’s teaching me lots of neat things about airbrushing,” he said of the lettered artwork green-lighted by council.

“I think council has come around to seeing art has a place in Duncan.

“It’ll slowly make its way out of the shadows and onto the surface of buildings as a continuous cycle,” said Genier, suggesting approved makeovers of walls in Centennial Park, and Cowichan Secondary’s playing field.

Meanwhile, Judy Stafford of Cowichan Green Community — a group raising money to complete an offer to purchase the Phoenix

— cheered Coté for donating time to help Genier complete the Unity mural.

“This collaboration is great. Wouldn’t it be great if Cyrus painted other walls in the city?”

“It’s a whole new day — there’s a (jury) process to avoid misunder-

standings in the future; the city’s not against art.”

Still, noted valley artist Glenn Spicer sympathized with Genier hav-ing to junk Community.

“It’s painful for an artist to destroy work they feel passionate about: it was all politics.”

Peter W. RuslandMuralists Cyrus Genier (left) and Barry Cote display approved Unity artwork under construc-tion on downtown’s Phoenix Inn parking-lot wall. It replaces Genier’s former Community mural deemed graffiti by council.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGOFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAWS No. 3680 and 3681

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 3682Applicable to Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora

NOTICE is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held as follows to consider the above noted Amendment Bylaws: DATE: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 PLACE: Eagles Hall

2965 Boys Road, Duncan BC TIME: 6:00 p.m. Open House

Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3680 (Bill 27) proposes to amend Electoral Area E and Part of F – Cowichan-Koksilah Official Community Plan Bylaw (OCP) No. 1490 in order to:1. Provide information on climate change and an inventory of locally produced greenhouse gas emissions.2. Add polices, targets and actions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions into several sections of the OCP such as

Agriculture, Residential, and Forestry.3. Introduce the Wetland Protection Development Permit Area, which would require a development permit when

a wetland is located on a parcel of land proposed for subdivision. This DPA forms part of the Bill 27/Climate Change amendment bylaw because wetlands function as storage for greenhouse gases, in addition to providing numerous other ecological functions.

Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3681 (Conservation, Species at Risk & Social Sustainability) proposes to amend Electoral Area E and Part of F - Cowichan-Koksilah Official Community Plan Bylaw (OCP) No. 1490 in order to:1. Update the “Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Hazard Lands”, “Forestry” and “Parks and Institutional” sections

of the OCP, to include policies that are supportive of a regional conservation strategy, watershed planning initiatives, flood protection, species at risk and biodiversity protection.

2. Draw attention to the significance of Wake Lake, and add policy supportive of a conservation zoning for land within 1000 metres of Wake Lake.

3. Propose a new land designation and zone near Chemainus River Park, for the purpose of allowing a caretaker’s residence to oversee the Park.

4. Introduce a policy framework for community amenity contributions.

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3682 (Parkland, Wetland, Trail Acquisition) proposes to amend Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Zoning Bylaw No. 1840 in order to:1. Rezone Lot A, Section 7, Range 9, Sahtlam District, Plan VIP 88170, and Lot 1, Section 7, Range 9, Sahtlam

District, Plan 83485 (shown outlined below with a solid black line – Map A) from R-2 (Suburban Residential) to P-2 (River Corridor Conservation) to reflect the current park use.

2. Rezone Legal Lot Poly 15927 VIP 64839 (subject property shown outlined below with a solid black line – Map B) from I-1 (Light Industrial) to P-2 (River Corridor Conservation) to reflect the current park use.

3. Increase the minimum lot size in the R-2 Zone for lots served by a community water system, from 0.4 hectares to 0.8 hectares.

4. Include a bylaw provision that would allow subdivision along the boundary created by a park or trail dedicated to the CVRD, subject to specific criteria. Land eligible for subdivision along a dedicated trail or road must be previously identified in the Zoning Bylaw’s appendix.

5. Remove wetlands and watercourses from the land area eligible for use in calculating minimum parcel size requirements (applicable to subdivision applications).

Map A Map B

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. to provide the public an opportunity to review the Bylaws, relevant background materials and meet with Planning staff and the Area Director in an Open House style meeting. The official Public Hearing will begin at 7:00 p.m.

At the public hearing, all persons who deem their interests affected by the proposed amendments will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions on matters contained therein, before representatives of the Regional Board. Prior to the public hearing, written comments on the Bylaws may be faxed to 250-746-2621, e-mailed to [email protected], or mailed and/or deposited at the Regional District offices up to 4:30 p.m. on the day of hearing.

Liberal candidate Amanda Jacobson is a late arrival into Nanaimo-North Cowichan’s election race, the

party announced today.The licensed mortgage agent

from Ladysmith has her of cial nomination meeting Tuesday.

Jacobson’s release says she aims to offer her riding’s voters “a future of sensible, balanced budgets.”

“I feel a government sup-portive of free enterprise is the best way to ensure our children continue to have access to the services I am grateful for, such as education and health care, without being saddled with mountains of debt.”

Jacobson, 32, an island native, at-tended the University of Alberta to study political science, sociology and art history.

She worked with a bankruptcy trustee in law rms, proofread in The Edmon-

ton Journal’s newsroom, and earned her mortgage-broker license at the UBC Sauder School of Business.

“We all know what the NDP means: reckless spend-ing – they’ve promised $2 billion in spending in just three days of campaigning. And that means more taxes, more borrowing, and bigger de cits for our children and

grandchildren to pay off,” Jacobson added.

She joins Green hopeful Mayo McDonough, B.C. Conservative John Sherry, and incumbent NDP MLA Doug Routley in the north-end’s race.

And a B.C. Liberal makes four in valley’s north-end election race

Put control of the Cowichan in local handsSave the river: Local body needed in order to take action to go with the fl ow

It’s not very often you can get a room full of nearly 50 opinionated people to agree on anything, let alone 50 Cowichanians.

So when four dozen lovers of and experts on the Cowichan River are able to say with reasonable unity:

this is what is endangering the river and this is what needs to be done about it, the powers-that-be better sit up and take

notice.So why are we afraid all the work

done by the Cowichan Chinook Workshop is destined to slip away like a leaf riding a springtime current?

Could it be because we have watched the forces in Victoria make foot-drag-ging over matters of local importance a way of life?

Local people are the ones who see rst-hand what is happening on the

river. Local people are the ones who live with the consequences of decisions and indecision. Local people have the knowledge and the passion.

Putting control of the ows in local hands only makes sense.The Chinook Workshop put a lot of work into gathering the

scienti c evidence that paints a vivid picture of what factors are affecting the health of our salmon run.

That picture is the bedrock, the detailed diagnosis that can be used to steer a comprehensive treatment and recovery plan.

But the recovery plan is useless if the head surgeon is absent and unwilling to delegate responsibility to a gifted protege.

River issues tend to be the passion of a select few conserva-tionists, scientists and outdoorsmen. As long as there is water in their taps, the public tends to regard the ongoing dialogue as so much gurgling. That needs to change before it’s too late.

Without action, the tap will run dry.

This we likeAs we wrap up our coverage of this

year’s Black Tie Service awards with a pair of profi les in toay’s edition, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer some applause to the winners.

Good work is often taken for granted. But being sometimes taken for granted is not the same thing as being unno-ticed. Your work is noticed. And events like the Black Tie give us a chance to say “well done.”

The good and the bad of this week in CowichanThe good and the bad of this week in CowichanThis we don’tDetails about what is needed to put

Via Rail passenger cars back on E&N Rail tracks are sketchy.

But the fact such a deal still needs to be sealed is troubling.

With federal, provincial and local gov-ernment all cracking open the treasure chest to spark a renaissance on island rail, we wonder why Via’s co-operation wasn’t signed off on long ago.

What is the hold-up?Wilma Jamieson accepts a green business Black Tie award on behalf of Queen Margaret’s School.

We say:Let us put our passion and expertise to use

Aaron BichardNews Leader Pictorial

On Wednesday, April 17, in a unanimous vote North Co-wichan council drew a line in the sand.

Or, more accurately, they tried to move a line in a marsh.

The decision made was to push ahead with an application to the Agricultural Land Commission, which if successful would pave the way for development on a piece of cur-rent ALR land.

The reasons are: keeping core services in the urban core, which is where this land is located; the municipality owns the property, a signi cant cost saving; and the dike sup-posedly orphans this land from the sensitive Somenos Marsh ecosystem.

The rst two reasons are valid — avoiding sprawl by containing development makes sense, and in a time when taxpayers are feel-

ing squeezed, keeping costs low is respon-sible and welcome.

But to think that a ood fence disconnects this piece of wetland from the rest of the sensitive ecosystem and somehow renders it t only for development is simply incorrect.

For this reason, the land should never have even been considered, and the application never submitted.

The dike isn’t a prison wall, keeping one side locked away from the other. The more tting analogy is a screen door.

On one side, pesky annoyances like mos-quitoes — or in this case oodwaters — are kept at bay while the essence of nature, the cool breezes, the summer sights and sounds, and the experience still lter through. Sitting on a front porch behind a screen door, a person is still connected to the outside, yet not inconvenienced by the biting insects.

This special piece of property will continue to function as a ltering spot for runoff from the asphalt of Beverly Street. It will continue to provide refuge for nesting birds and other

wildlife looking for shelter from the ever-encroaching pavement, and it will continue to be an integral part of the Somenos watershed.

It remains connected.I vowed I wouldn’t reference conser-

vationist crooner Joni Mitchell here, but come on, we’re talking about paving one side of the marsh and we actually have a tree mu-seum on the other. Talk about connections.

Plus, she identi es “a screen door slam” as the signi er of irretrievable loss, due to not appreciating the importance of what exists already.

North Cowichan insists this is only the rst step in a long process, and that a nal decision about using this land for the RCMP station has yet to be made.

Without the approval of the Agricul-tural Land Commission, the discussion of developing the property can’t even seriously begin.

Yet looking at the ALC’s purpose, which is to preserve agricultural land, and encourage

the use of agricultural land for farming, it doesn’t seem to me they’d have much reason to turn down this application.

According to opinions relayed by munici-pal staff, the land is too wet for farming, yet not too wet for development.

What we know unequivocally is it’s not too wet for wildlife, nor to carry out its function as part of the ecosystem.

If the ALC denies this request, the commu-nity can collaboratively move toward nding a new home for the police station.

If not, all we can do is hope for council to realize it is their perspective that is discon-nected, not this piece of land. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them. Connect with him at [email protected].

Compensation still needed for pool constructionDear editor

From what I understand, the two-tier system at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre was in effect because the areas affected did not want to contribute to the building and main-tenance of the pool. So, unless the dropped two-tier is replaced by the same percentage on our property value these other areas then this is not a good solution. Equal access equals equal investment, no exceptions!Glenn Spicer, Duncancomments submitted at cowichannewleader.com

CVRD continues to disrespect the Cowichan Valley taxpayerDear editor

The CVRD directors have again thumbed their noses at Cowichan taxpayers in ap-proving the 2013 budget. The tax increases are two to eight times the rate of local in ation and bring spending increases in the past decade to more than 100% when in ation was less than 25%. There is no leadership on this board.

Contrary to the nonsense from directors about “tough budget decisions” the biggest single increase again this year is in pay to themselves and the already well-paid 220 CVRD employees. More than 25 CVRD staff will collect more than $100,000 in pay in 2013. At least $375,000 of new taxes will go straight into employee and directors pockets this year added to the whopping $14 million wage bill. That doesn’t include the generous pay scale increases of up to 10% that a num-ber of CVRD employees will also be given this year. At the last minute this irresponsible board added to an already bloated 2013 bud-get by pork-barrel additions to grants-in-aid. Several lucky recipients of grants even got raises without asking for them! The CVRD continually breaks its own policies by repeat-edly giving money away to the same special interests year after year.

This board allows itself and employees to spend more than $1,000 each and every day of the year on taxpayer paid meals, fancy hotels, conferences and travel using the more than 50 CVRD credit cards issued to direc-tors and employees.

We recently heard about the $45,000 the directors spent on sending themselves to an irrelevant conference in the Maritimes. You

can expect a repeat of this sort of behaviour again in 2013 because when it comes to spending the CVRD has shown it could care less about taxpayers’ interests.

The CVRD simply adds spending year after year to everything they do without any real diligence on whether it’s wasted, of any real value or if someone else could do it cheaper.W.E. (Bill) DumontCobble Hill

Modern medicine has saved its share of mothers and childrenDear editor

Re: Ashley Degraaf’s column on The Busi-ness of Being Born. These documentaries are interesting. We have to remember that birthing in the good old natural days many more women and babies died during child-birth. In fact it was the number one cause of death for women of child-bearing years. I am not a proponent of a lot of drugs, but I personally know of a few moms and babes who would probably not be here if not for modern medicine and hospitals.Kim Girolamicomments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Local value-added fi rst, but we’re not ready for a raw log export banDear editor

Thanks for the opportunity to share our story and our vision in your April 17 article.

I would just like to clarify one detail: while I strongly believe that using logs locally and climbing the economic value-add ladder is

the right course of action, I can’t support an outright banning of raw log exports. Espe-cially right now, as that would cost us jobs at a time when they are sorely needed.

I believe the rst step is to nd a way to encourage local utilization of our timber resources. Once that manufacturing sector is up and running and vibrant, we will most likely nd that the problem has taken care of itself, as there will be a strong incentive to sell the timber locally.

If it turns out otherwise, that would be the time to bring the export ban issue to the table, as we would then be dealing with the issue from a position of jobs-strength rather than jobs-weakness.Damir Wallener, B.C. Conservative candidate, Cowichan Valley

Station can be built elsewhereDear editor

I want to applaud Arthur Caldicott for his April 17 In my opinion piece about Somenos Marsh. I deplore the idea of chipping away at this beautiful and precious eco-system. Why can’t they look at the old Canadian Tire location which is paved and still in the same area. Surely there is room there or other commercial land that will not destroy what everyone has worked to protect for such a long time. This needs to stop. Now! I am a huge supporter of our law enforce-ment. I just do not want to see the location for the new station to be at the expense of one of the valley’s most precious attractions and place of beauty.Carmen Waterman, Duncan comments submitted at cowichannewleader.com

In this changing world how can a man be a man?In my opinion: Program aimed at giv-ing mean a new sense of purpose

What does it mean to be a man?

It’s a question that is con-stantly being weighed and challenged by both sexes as ex-pectations evolve and change

with the times.If you’re too gentle, do you risk being seen

by the opposite sex as unexciting? If you’re too rough, do you risk being seen as a brute? If you show emotion at work, will you be considered weak? If you show anger and frustration, will you be considered unstable?

Can you be a gentle father at home, yet an ef-fective boss at work? And how do you meld the two together?

We haven’t strayed far from the jungles and caves of our ancestors (especially in the corporate world) as it’s still an eat or be eaten world. But, for generations now, we can no longer rely on the actions or inactions of our parents to be the role model of how we’re meant to behave.

It wasn’t that long ago when young girls were taught to cook and bake from their stay-at-home moms, while the boys were told to get an after-school job to prepare them for a life ahead of supporting their families. Now, it’s more likely that both partners work full-time and neither of them knows how to cook.

But is the man still supposed to be the major wage earner? And if he’s not, is he able to set aside feelings of guilt or inadequacy that crackle deep in his DNA? And is there still some part of us that needs to thump our hairy chests and howl at the moon?

Grant Waldman, executive director of the Duncan-based West Coast Men’s Support Society, believes that men need to take care of themselves and learn how to ask for help when needed rather than becoming isolated and “sucking it up.”

In supporting The New Warrior Training Adventure, April 12 to 14 in Shawnigan Lake, Waldman’s aim was help men create a new sense of purpose and to understand what it means to be a healthy, mature male.

The weekend offered men the opportunity to “take a good look at themselves and talk about what’s working and what’s not in their lives,” says Waldman who has both experienced and witnessed the transformational power of the program for himself.

Developed and delivered by The ManKind Project, the program opens the door for men to experience a level of energy, a quality of masculinity, a deep sense of safety, joy and laughter, anger and fear, physical challenge and an opportunity to look with fearless honesty at the life they’ve created.

In short, Waldman adds, “You’ll discover your unique connection to manhood, explore a new way of understanding masculinity, and step fully into the man you envision yourself to be.”

Helping rescue the Crofton mill from the financial brink is one feather in Catalyst boss Kevin Clarke’s cap as he plans to step down in June.

While Catalyst brass looks for his replace-ment, North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure was happy with Clarke’s straightforward style — and the future of the municipality’s biggest taxpayer that adds more than $3 million to its coffers annually.

“I suspect he was brought in to manage Catalyst at a very tough time in its existence.

“I suspect some of the crisis-management role is over, but they’re not out of the woods, and they’re still in an incredibly competitive environment,” he said Friday after Catalyst announced Clarke’s departure.

Lefebure praised Catalyst’s hard work to weather credit protection under Clarke, as the company struggles to swap markets.

“Newsprint and directory paper are a shrinking market, so they’re working hard at getting a larger share of that shrinking market.

“They also recognize that shrinking market isn’t viable on a longer-term basis for their industry so they’re looking at new products to move to,” Lefebure said, saluting Clarke.

“He was very down to earth — what you saw

is what you got. There were no games played. He didn’t try to bully us or sweet talk us.”

Catalyst chairman Les Lederer was chuffed how CEO Clarke helmed the firm through “three pivotal years.”

“Under his leadership, the company intensi-fied its focus on stakeholder relationships, which culminated in the rapid completion of a reorganization plan that significantly improved Catalyst’s balance sheet and cost structure.”

Clarke continues in his role through June, assisting a smooth transition.

He plans to return to his home in New York State, where his family resides, Catalyst’s release says.

Don Bodger/fileOutgoing Catalyst boss Kevin Clarke speaks to business leaders in Crofton in late February.

Canada’s biggest cancer fundraising event wants Cowichan to grab the baton.

Relay For Life returns to the Cowichan Valley in two months, and organizers are calling on volunteers — both to participate and to help run the show.

Linda Tesser, community giving coordinator at Relay For Life, said they are a “crucial part” of the whole process.

“We rely on volunteers to make our event successful,” she said. “We need volunteers to be part of our committee, as well as those to help with set-up of stages and things on the day of. It’s a really good oppor-tunity to develop your skills and be part of our organizing committee.”

She describes the event as having a “festival-like atmosphere” and said it is suitable for people of all ages and tness levels to come out and have fun in support of ghting cancer.

“We are looking for cancer survi-vors or those who are battling can-cer. At 6 p.m. we have our survivor lap but there’s also a reception before that at 5 p.m. and there is no cost to be part of that. People are welcome to stay afterwards.”

As well as singular volunteers, Tesser is also pushing the event as a team building environment and platform.

“We are also looking for teams of eight to 15 people to participate. For example, a company who has

somebody in its of ce battling cancer so they would want to come out and support them. It’s all fun.”

Tesser encouraged willing par-ticipants to register online in order to receive a free yellow T-shirt, a Relay For Life trademark.

Organizers are looking for a bounceback from last year’s Co-wichan event, which saw participa-tion dip and the festivities ripped

by a windstorm. Tesser stated she has ambitions of raising $35,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

The 12-hour Relay For Life takes place June 1 and 2 at the Cowichan Sportsplex, running from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Anyone interested in getting involved is urged to visit relayfor-life.ca or contact Tesser at [email protected].

Andrew Leong/ leJacquie Coull of the Avenger Heroes circles the track during last year’s Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life. Organizers are hoping for a super turnout this year.

Investigation launchedfrom A1

Manager of Cruelty Investigations with the BC SPCA Shawn Eccles has also heard about the complaint and confi rmed an inves-tigation was launched yesterday. But unfortu-nately, the process isn’t cut and dried.

Actions, which can include the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals Act and Criminal Code, depend on details, evidence, witness statements, the owner’s criminal record, cruelty record, if any, and the police report, said Eccles.

“At the very least, we’ll be issuing an order,” he said, which includes constables working with animal guardians to educate

them on animal protection laws and proper care required for their animal. “And with that we’re also creating a record.”

The fact of the matter is, “If you’re at the point when you want to hit your dog, maybe you shouldn’t have one,” said Eccles.

For dog lovers Chris and Leigh, they’re looking to “name and shame this thug,” but more importantly make sure due discipline is taken and assurance the dog is safe.

“Right now we’re in the dark. Is that dog alive? Is it still with the owner? This is what is so upsetting to a lot of people,” he said Tuesday.

Responses to their Facebook story have included several folks willing to adopt the pooch and make donations to the SPCA if the dog is seized.

“They have nothing,’’ said Donahue.

She said clothing items size large or extra large are required for a man and medium for a woman.

Any toiletries or house-hold items would also be graciously accepted, Donahue added.

The couple also has two young sons, ages six and seven, Donahue said, who were with grandparents at the time of the re so toys or clothing items for the kids are also required.

“They are currently living with relatives,’’ said Donahue of the couple. “They don’t know when they’re go-ing to be able to nd a place to live.’’

Notice of Proposed Revitalization Program Bylaw

North Cowichan Council gives notice, under sections 94 and 227 of the Community Charter, that it proposes to adopt Bylaw 3488, “Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Bylaw.” The reasons for establishing this revitalization program are slow economic growth, high unemployment, stagnating commercial core areas, and underutilized and vacant industrial land. The objectives of the revitalization tax exemption program are to: 1) stimulate the local economy; 2) generate permanent new industrial jobs and part-time construction employment; 3) encourage new commercial and residential mixed-use development to locate within existing commercial core areas; 4) increase the Municipality’s overall tax base over the long term; 5) encourage development of industrial land; and 6) encourage low environmental impact development. By doing so, Council hopes to encourage investment and development of industrial and commercial land, and stimulate the rejuvenation of mixed-use commercial areas within the Municipality.

The proposed bylaw will establish a revitalization tax exemption program to grant property tax exemptions for the entire property of an eligible development located in the following revitalization areas: 1) South End/University Village; 2) Chemainus; and 3) industrial lands (except the area in Chemainus known as the Chemainus bench lands (which is about 28 acres, along the East side of Chemainus Road, South of Victoria Street, and North of Bare Point Road). Maps of the revitalization areas and the excluded industrial lands are attached to proposed Bylaw 3488.

The kinds of property and development eligible for a tax exemption under the proposed program are: 1) Class 1 - Residential, with a minimum density of 100 dwelling units per hectare; 2) Class 4 - Major Industry or Class 5 - Light Industry, with improvements worth at least $250,000 or that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 25%; or 3) Class 6 - Business and other.. Before the Municipality issues a tax exemption certificate to the owner of a parcel, the applicant must: 1) complete and deliver the prescribed application to the Corporate Officer no later than October 15 in the year prior to which the exemption is sought along with a $200 application fee; 2) in the case of Class 4 (Major Industry) or Class 5 (Light Industry), provide satisfactory evidence that new improvements have been constructed on the parcel that: have an improvement value of $250,000 or greater, or have a value of at least $50,000 and have resulted in a 25% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as compared to emissions before the construction of the new improvements; and 3) enter into a revitalization tax exemption agreement with the Municipality.

The amount of the proposed tax exemption for each calendar year, during the period for which the tax exemption is issued, is equal to 100% of the general municipal taxes imposed under section 197 (1)(a) of the Community Charter on that part of the assessed value calculated by deducting the baseline assessment from the current assessed value and multiplying the difference by the current municipal tax rate. The total tax exemption for all years must not exceed the total cost of improvements or the increase in municipal taxes payable due to the revitalization. Tax exemptions will not include exemption from any parcel tax, local service tax, or business improvement area tax payable in the designated area in which the parcel is located. Development cost charges for water, sewer and roads will be waived for all eligible development in a revitalization area for Class 1 (Residential) or combined Class 1 (Residential) and Class 6 (Business and other). The maximum term of a tax exemption provided under the proposed program is 10 years for an eligible Class 4 (Major Industry) or Class 5 (Light Industry) development, or 5 years for an eligible Class 1 (Residential), Class 6 (Business and other), or combined development.

Persons wishing to review the proposed Bylaw 3488 may do so at the North Cowichan Municipal Hall, 7030 Trans Canada Highway, Duncan, BC, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays), or by visiting the Municipality’s website (www.northcowichan.ca).

Written comments may be sent by email to [email protected]; or by fax to (250) 746-3133, or mail to the address below no later than 4:30 p.m. on May 8, 2013.

British Colum-bia freshwa-ter fishing enthusiasts have a new,

up-to-date tool in their tackle box.

The B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Operations and Black Press have produced the 2013-2015 Freshwater Fishing Regu-lations Synopsis.

The synopsis is printed every two years as a resource for local and visiting fishers to have on hand as they enjoy B.C.’s lakes and rivers. An electronic version will also be updated periodically if regulations change.

In addition, the syn-opsis will be featured in a flip book format on the websites of all Black Press newspapers in B.C., including the News Leader Pictorial.

Inside, in addition to the most current freshwa-ter fishing regulations, readers will find details about the popular Family Fishing Weekend, an an-nual event scheduled for Father’s Day weekend.

Timed to coincide with the licence-free week-ends offered by both the federal and provincial governments, weekend events are organized in nearly 50 communities with help from the Family Fishing Society of B.C. As well as encouraging youngsters to try their hand at fishing, the events are designed to provide an opportunity to share the importance of fish and their fragile habitat.

Investigation continues into a Tuesday morning vehicle crash into a power pole that unplugged hydro across the Shawnigan Lake area.

Cpl. Jason Kerr of the Shawnigan Lake RCMP detachment says the 5 a.m. wreck alleg-

edly happened when a westbound, 1981 GMC SUV left the road and hit the power pole.

“The collision resulted in power being lost through-out a large region of Shawnigan Lake.

“The 53-year-old male driver was the only oc-cupant of the vehicle. The driver, a resident of the Shawnigan Lake area, suffered minor cuts and scrapes as a result of the MVI.”

Witnesses can call the Mounties at 250-743-5514.— Peter W. Rusland

For seven years Gar-denPals has been educating Co-wichan

Valley school children about gardening and food security in a unique way.

The program, which was formed by Carol Sim in 2006, takes children from Khowhemun School and pairs them with older generations to learn and take a hands-on approach to food security and growth.

“I really liked the idea of working with kids,” said

Sim. “But I also like the idea of working with elders, so I thought, what if I put them together. It will be like pen-pals but they will relate

Folks and leaders in the community stepping to the plate.

That seems to be the recipe for success for

the Cowichan Hospice Society.The organization, which has

been supporting people in the community in end-of-life journeys for many years, was disappointed they and other hospice organizations on Van-couver Island were left out of the provincial government’s funding piggy bank.

But looking to the bright side, Gretchen Hartley’s cheering the Cowichan Valley Regional Dis-trict for their recent grant-in-aid and members of the community for supporting fundraisers in-cluding annual Hike for Hospice which takes place Sunday, May 5.

“It’s just one of the many com-munity fundraisers that supports us,” said executive director Hart-ley. “Over 70% of our funding comes from the community and events like this.”

Hartley’s also giving huge

thanks to the directors at the CVRD table who recently shelled out $50,000 for local hospice care.

“That’s a substantial kind of anchor for all of the other pieces,” she said, noting prior to the CVRD decision they were provided with telling statistics of Cowichan’s ag-ing population as well as numbers of care clients continually climbing, including a tally of 700 program participants last year.

Funding to provide hospice

services, including for those living with advancing illness and their family caregivers as well as people grieving the death of someone they love, also comes in through the United Way as well B.C. gam-ing grants.

To run comfortably, the society needs about $250,000 to $300,000 a year, said Hartley, and essentially they’re scraping by.

Although funds from each year’s Hike for Hospice events don’t

amount to much in the annual op-erating budget, they’re important in many ways nonetheless.

“It really activates the com-munity’s energy and excitement,” Hartley said.

This year’s event takes place at Providence Farm starting at 1 p.m. and includes the usual package of good food, tunes, and excersize.

“Once again the hike will offer a two- or four-kilometre stroll on the beautiful trails at Providence Farm, with a free barbecue lunch for those who have collected pledges,” explained an event media release.

“Foot soaks will be available by donation and this year we will have a variety of local musicians for listening pleasure.”

A portable labyrinth project will also be undertaken on hike day too, said Hartley of the society linking arms with a group of labyrinth keeners.

“There are incentive prizes for fundraising,” said the media re-lease. “This year we hope to raise $40,000 for hospice services.”

GardenPals cultivate gardens from A15

Through GardenPals, kids ranging from kinder-garten to Grade 4 spend four months working the communal plot of the Jubilee Community Garden, which is located in Centennial Park.

From seed back to soil, the kids learn about plant-ing, weeding, harvesting and then composting.

When the class arrives they are split into three groups. Two of the groups join GardenPals volunteers to work the garden; the other group gets an environmental lesson, usually on a topic of their choice. Healthy snacks are also provided, said Sim.

“GardenPals appeals to me because it starts the younger generations gardening and cultivating things,” said David Edwards, a GardenPal volunteer.

Once the garden is ready to be harvested the kids get to take a big bag or two— depending on how hungry they are — of chives, carrots, radishes, and lettuce to make a big healthy salad back at school. This is the part that really connects the kids with the food, said Sim.

“There is a big disconnect from kids and food. They have no idea where food comes from, they just think it comes form a store in a plastic package,”said Sim. “I thought it was really important to show them where food comes from and to let them try to grow it.”

Anything that the children don’t harvest is donated to the women’s shelter, said Sim.

The GardenPals are currently seeking volunteers. If you would like more information or to sign up, contact Carol Sim at 1-250-748-0580.

Nothing’s slowing down Cobble Hill’s George Robbins.

He’s still going strong, even 23

years after the now-retired head of Cowichan Bay’s Westcan Terminals was recognized as Cowichan’s Top Businessman in 1989.

The Duncan Co-wichan Chamber of Commerce recently awarded Robbins with a Black Tie Volunteer of the Year, award at a ceremony held April 13.

“I keep myself busy,” Robbins, 76, said, spouting numerous organizations, groups he’s founded or associated himself with.

He’s currently running with local Liberal candidate Steve Housser in the promotion of his election campaign.

“I believe that economic justice can best be won by free people through free enterprise,” is Rob-bins’ catch phrase. “That service to the community is the best work of life.”

Besides his political ventures, which he said he’s had a hand in

since he was 17, Rob-bins is the founding member and current chair of the CVRD Economic Develop-ment Commission.And that’s not it.He’s coached

little league, acted as a member of the

Cowichan Valley Hoo Hoo club, which was instrumental in the creating the B.C. Forest Museum,

as well as the organizing com-mittee for the 1972 B.C. Sports Festival, now B.C. Games and a director/worker with the Cobble Hill Fair.

In 1987 he was a founding member of the Cowichan Business Development Foundation, now known as Community Futures.

He was also behind the creation of the Cowichan Bay Improvement Association.

That, and a representative of the Cowichan Watershed plan, on top of sitting around the table on behalf of the Malaspina University College Foundation.

If that wasn’t enough duties, Rob-bins also shares much of his time with his four grandchildren.

And between entertaining the kiddies, he still breeds thorough-bred horses.

“I’ve got a new horse, Herbie #2,” said Robbins. “I’ve been doing that for year and years. That keeps me going too, but it’s just a way of life for me.”

The deadline for tax returns is looming.

And if you can’t afford to submit your income taxes before April 30, there may be

a program geared for you.Each year, through its Com-

munity Volunteer Income Tax Program, the Canada Revenue Agency links with commu-nity organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns.

The program is aimed at individuals with income levels below $30,000 per year for singles and investment incomes below $1,000.

In Duncan, Dave Maandag, the com-munity ministries director for the local Salvation Army chapter is volunteering through the tax program.

“I have been registered by the CRA for the past two ling seasons to complete individual tax forms,” explained Maan-dag. “And including myself, we have four people working on tax les.”

Maandag anticipates ling individual tax forms for 250 to 300 people.

“We nd that most of the people we help are on income assistance, on disability pensions or seniors,” explained Maandag. “Often these forms can be overwhelming and we are here to help them.”

Filing taxes is especially important for seniors, Maandag said, as information is ltered to other federal departments that ag elders who should be receiving Guaranteed Income Subsidy.

“They can then be ap-proached to ensure they are receiving the full amount of income they are entitled to

over and above CPP/OAS pensions,” said Maandag.

Maandag asks interested folks make an appointment by calling 250-746-8669.

The service is provided free of charge and continues year round.

Scapin’s saddling up.

Scapin is the most popu-lar character of the famous 17th-century French play-wright Moliere.

He’s set to spew his deceits and sto-ries across the Chemainus Theatre Festival Inn’s stage starting Friday. But it won’t be in the same setting fans are used to.

In what they’re calling Delicious Lies, the Chemainus Theatre Fes-tival is adapting the 1671 comedy with a Western twist. Main man Scapin (Thomas Jones) and sidekick Sylvestre (Brian Linds) talk hillbilly talk and conniving in a small town set in the wild west.

“There’s a wildness in the west that works just perfect with stick-ing with the commedia style,” said director Mark DuMez, who was re-ferring to the play’s improvisational style built on character’s physical interactions.

“I thought the western world allowed them to stay true with that style it was built on. And it’s really important when doing a piece by a master that it doesn’t turn into a museum piece,” he explained of their decision to take a Western turn.

Plus the theatre company hadn’t done anything with a western theme

for several years, he added.“It’s sort of bridge between our

adaptation and Moliere’s original. It’s the halfway point.”

Linds, who plays Scapin’s sidekick Sylvestre, compares the duo to a modern-day Charlie Chaplin or a Marx Brothers.

“It’s not just about perfecting the words, it’s a lot about the physical side,” Linds said on the the timing of his character’s goofy antics, in which he also compared to those of hit television show Seinfeld’s Kramer.

“My character’s not so quick and not as smart as Scapin,” he ex-plained. “But the audience, they’re really going to enjoy the quick pace. It’s improvisation at its best.”

Linds has graced the Mural Town stage in productions of Harvest, Arsenic and Old Lace and Barefoot in the Park.

Delicious Lies “brings a fresh approach to physical farce and com-bines sophisticated clowning with good storytelling and retains the writer/actor/director’s personal en-joyment for the commedia dell’arte, an improvisational style of perfor-mance that emphasized physical interaction between two people, situ-ations, and point of view,” explains a show backgrounder.

Moliere’s original is often adapted as Scapino! directed by Frank Dun-lop and Jim Dale, and Scapin, by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell.

“Like most, the Chemainus The-atre Festival’s presentation trans-lates and modernizes the French-language story for today’s audience, while retaining the play’s original structure and plot.”

Taking the show in a classic spa-ghetti western direction makes sense to lead Jones.

Jones is known for his self-penned

solo play Woody Sed based on life of Woody Guthrie.

“It’s just a simple and nice way and era where you can still create a class system,” he explained.

His character is a “proud schemer, scoundrel, and a jack-of-all-trades, known to cause confusion of any-thing he undertakes.”

“He likes to take chances. He

says there’s no point in living if you don’t,” said Jones.

Hudson will Tread Lightly on three decades of valley painting experienceJudy Hudson is inviting you to Tread Lightly dur-

ing this week’s Cowichan Valley Fine Arts show and into May.

The veteran valley painter is hosting Tread Lightly, a retrospective show of her work at the Island Savings Centre Theatre galley until May 15.

The show will include almost 60 paintings in oils and acrylic. The show will include a recent series

of abstract acrylics, but other work stretches back 20 years, she said in a media release.

“I didn’t know what I would show when I signed up for this show at the Island Savings Theatre Gallery 18 months ago. But as I inventoried my paintings and talked about my work with friends and colleagues, a pattern of painting the same subjects in nature emerged, particularly the

forests of the Cowichan Valley and Somenos Marsh,” she said.

She will be in attendance April 25, 7 to 9 p.m., April 26, 1 to 7 p.m. and April 27, 1 to 5 p.m. dur-ing the fi ne arts show.

The work is also visible during theatre events and by appointment.

When Randy Bachman xed a snapped guitar string in the ‘70s, he had no idea the monster-hit American Woman would be born dur-

ing tune-up strumming.That’s the kind of creative luck, and crazy

antics, musically remembered last week in the Cowichan Theatre by Canada’s legendary leader of Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Brave Belt. Oh, and Guess Who shared super-band duties with pianist Burton Cummings?

Salt Spring Islander Bachman was anked by drummer Marc LaFrance, and axmen Brent Knudsen and Mick Dala Vee during the delightful, retro-rock, jazz-spiced show that packed the house.

Popularity of Bachman’s musical memory-lane was displayed when the whole joint danced to his iconic rendition of BTO’s Takin’

Care Of Business.Yes, music’s been good to Bachman who

climbed his ladder to fortune and fame — sharing nostalgic stages with Cummings intermittently in recent years.

Bachman has told the News Leader Pictorial TCB bought him “all his homes and cars.”

But there were many other hits along the way, some shared by a relaxed Bachman and crew April 15.

It was all part of his Vinyl Tap Tour, subtitled Every Song Tells A Story.

And tell them he did.Draped in hoser annel, and slinging a

vintage ‘50s Gibson Les Paul, Bachman explained the origins of his bands’ many hits, and off-stage antics, backed by period lm footage on a huge screen.

From Prairie Town — thawed from his vault of Winnipeg numbers — to Guess Who’s rst hit Shakin’ All Over, then meandering to These Eyes, She’s Come Undone (a play on Bob Dylan’s poetic line ‘She’s easily undone’), to Laughing, and Let It Ride, Bachman was in ne form.

Folks knew they ain’t seen nothing yet.Sure, some tales would be familiar to fans of

his popular CBC radio show, but those stories seemed fresh when told live by the living piece of Canadian rock ‘n’ roll history.

It just seemed tting the high school drop-out earned the Order of Canada for helping put Canuck rock on world stages.

He was a pioneer back when Neil Young, Ian & Sylvia, Joni Mitchell, and Gordon Lightfoot were also in their prime.

But Lightfoot rarely leaves Toronto these days, and Joni’s retired to paint.

Tyson played Cowichan more than a decade ago. Neil Young headlined Cowichan Arena’s Clean Air Concert back in 2004 when he had medical issues.

Some still wonder where $200,000 in proceeds from that legendary night — shared by The Barenaked Ladies, and Tal Bachman — went, but they know where to nd Randy Bachman.

He’s on the air, and on the road playing places like Cowichan.

Judging from last week’s pit stop, fans sure welcomed the guy who’s still Looking Out For Number One.

The 2013 Cowichan Valley Artisan Studio Tour kicks off April 26 and features a wide range of local artisans aiming to fl aunt their stuff.

The guided tour lasts three days and features 15 partici-pating studios and artisans who are based in Cowichan Valley.

“We’re a very unique group,” said ceramicist Mary Fox, of Ladysmith, who owns her own pottery business. “Most groups have artists and not artisans and the fact that we’re unusual really sets us apart and adds variety.”

As well as Fox’s pottery, the tour will also involve wineries, farms and cafes as well as traditional straight-edged barber “Doc The Barber,” highlighted Fox.

The tour will mark the third annual event for Cowichan Valley Artisans.

“The valley is really growing and supporting the arts is part of that. There’s more wineries and farms now. Who wouldn’t want a hand-made bowl to add to their collection,” said Fox, who is known for her decorative pieces.

“I also do functional work as well which I don’t think a lot of people know about as I only have my functional pieces on display at The Pottery Store in Chemainus and the B.C. Gallery of Ceramics in Vancouver.

“I’m self-taught so all my designs are uniquely my own,” said Fox, who has been doing pottery since her teenage years.

She claims that every artisan involved in this year’s tour is “at the top of their craft and is extremely skilled at what they do,” encourag-ing people to come out and support and celebrate the arts.

Others involved include: Nan Goodship, Michael

Moore, Cathi Jefferson, Peter Spohn, Peggy Brackett, Gloria S. Daly, Leola Witt-McNie, Ken Broadland, Jennifer Lawson, Karen Trickett, Jo Ludwig, Venturi-Schulze Vineyards, Alderlea Farm and Cafe and Doc the Barber.

LOUGHRIDGE Garry LyleAugust 5, 1944 - April 18, 2013

Loughridge, Garry - “Papa” - It is with a sad and heavy heart that we must tell family and friends of the passing of Garry Lyle Loughridge, on April 18th, 2013 from complications arising from lung cancer. Garry was born in Victoria, British Columbia to Charles and Audrey Loughridge. Garry will be greatly missed by Connie, his loving and devoted wife of 48 years; daughters Sharlene Lang (Dan), and Shelley; sister, Gail (Jim) and brother, Alan (Lorna), and his loving grand children whom called him “Papa”, Shay, Charlie, Parker, Travis and Carson.Garry worked at what he loved, driving trucks for 30 years for Doman Transport, which later became Trans-Isle Freightway’s. After moving from Victoria to Cobble Hill in 2001, Garry joined the Vancouver Island Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS), which became a passion for him. In 2008 he became the President of ATHS, serving for 5 years before giving up his post as President in December 2012. Another of Garry’s passions was his love of “puttering”. He would always have many projects that involved building and creating. These projects always kept him busy in his shop or in the yard and he always went about these projects with a grin on his face.Garry’s first love was his family. Connie, his wife, was his best friend and soul mate. In 1999, Garry and Connie began to raise their granddaughters, Shay and Charlie. “Papa,” to them was their grandfather, but became a father figure in their life. Garry was always a role model to his older grandsons, Parker and Travis. “Papa,” was always there for advice and any guidance they wanted or ever needed in their lives. The boys, Parker and Travis, always wanted to be like Papa. Carson, the youngest grandson, kept Papa entertained with his many stories and Carson always wanted to be helpful in any way he could be in Papa’s shop.During the past 2 1/2 years, Garry’s health declined, but Garry exuded positive strength. He made his family and friends believe, as he did, that everything was going to be okay. Everyone Garry came in contact with was touched by his strength and spirit. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, April 28th 2013 from 1:30 to 4:00 at the Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay, 1681 Cowichan Bay Road, Cowichan Bay B.C. Flowers are declined with gratitude. In lieu of flowers, if so wished, donations can be made to the Coronary Care Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Please send donations to: ‘Garry Loughridge’s Memory’ - 1952 Bay Street, 3rd floor DNT Building , Coronary Care Unit, Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria BC, V8R 1J8.

The Cowichan Valley Capitals’ new regime didn’t waste any time putting its stamp on the B.C. Hockey

League franchise.Under the direction of new

head coach and general man-ager Bob Beatty and owner Cory Wanner, the Caps had an impressive group of prospects on the ice for their annual spring hockey camp.

“This is the first key thing,’’ said Wanner. “It’s obviously exciting to come out here and be part of the process.

“We’re not going to be scram-bling. I don’t think people have to be concerned we’re not going to have the talent.’’

There was plenty of interest in the camp from prospective players.

“We ended up turning some people away,’’ said Beatty. “The teams were full enough.’’

The Caps had 152 players, comprising eight teams, on the ice at Cowichan Arena for ses-sions Friday through Sunday.

The weekend concluded with a fast-paced all-star game.

The talent came from all over, from the local area to New Eng-land and everywhere in between.

Director of scouting Lou Gravel of Parksville and Dana Dirks, the team’s Prairie scout, have been among those busy people behind the scenes who saw the fruits of their labours.

Beatty also has numerous

contacts from his many years in hockey and is continually on the lookout for players himself.

“There was a small percentage I’d seen,’’ he said. “Overall, they were new to me. We had some great help evaluating.’’

A who’s who of valley hockey personnel was at the arena to view the prospects and provide feedback to the coaching staff.

“I thought there was some real

good competition,’’ said Beatty. “It certainly gave us a starting point, for sure.

“We’re going to work, obvi-ously, all summer. We’re going to make three or four commit-ments. We’ve got at least half a dozen to 10 guys we’d like to see battle for jobs.’’

Beatty is off to Boston next week to check out a showcase tournament.

Two evenly-matched teams played a great game in crazy weather during Sunday’s Cowichan Women’s

Football League action.The Ravens blanked the Matrix

6-0 on a first-quarter touchdown by Brittany Williams. That was it for the scoring, but a lot of other things happened.

Teams played in a hail storm at times and then heavy rain.

Nikita Kitagawa was a game-saver for the Ravens. She broke up what appeared to be a sure Matrix TD in the nick of time and also caught up to a receiver who got through the defence and stopped a breakaway run to the end zone.

The Ravens played aggressive defence. Everyone was on top of

the ball to knock it away or grab flags.

Kelsey Scholz recorded three sacks for the Ravens. Williams added two interceptions on deflec-tions from passes knocked away by Jamie Russell.

Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks so that greatly affected the offenses. Rus-sell subbed in for Rikki Wylie and Marcie Welcher stepped in for Tara McCaffery for the Matrix.

Gloria Locke (3) and Heather Horn tallied interceptions for the Matrix. Sabrina Desrochers played a great game with three sacks.

In other games, the Crew blanked the Roofco Sirens 39-0 and Moo’s Law defeated the Wildfire 32-18.

Marilou Sullivan scored three TDs for the Crew. Janelle Mould added a TD and two interceptions while Jessica Lines-Wikkerink con-tributed to the offense with a TD

and one-point convert, Carolyn Gudmundseth also had a convert and Willy Toews recorded a TD.

Kim Funk matched Mould’s two interceptions. Jennie Hittinger added another and Darbi Aitchi-son tallied two sacks.

Shelly McKay pulled in two interceptions for the Sirens and Giselle Hearsey had one. Jodi Fortier managed a sack.

Jaimie Olson went wild for the Law with three TDs. Rachel Hast-ings posted a TD and three sacks while Kim Scafe collected a TD and a sack.

Leanne Closson put a pair of one-point converts on the board, Pattie Atkinson had an intercep-tion and Nicki Flynn added a sack.

Wildfire TDs were scored by Dieneke Pedersen, Zazil Martinez and Marika Richard. Pedersen also contributed a sack and Sue Glenn picked off a pass.

Shamrocks beat T-men in exhibition

Skaters all stars at VISI


Victoria Shamrocks and Nanaimo Timber-men renewed their Junior A lacrosse rivalry in an exhibition game played Wednesday night at Fuller Lake Arena.

As expected, it was a spirited affair. Victo-ria jumped into an early lead and never trailed, although Nanaimo came within a goal on a couple of occasions. In the end, Victoria held off the rally for an 11-7 victory.

Dominik Pesek and Jake Cullen each scored hat tricks for the Shamrocks. Pesek also had an assist.

Devan Casey scored twice and added two helpers while singles went to Cole Pickup, Kurtis Green, and Nate Wade. Chris Wardle collected three assists..

For the Timbermen, Corey Shires scored three goals and picked up an assist, Brady Jorgensen chipped in

with a goal and two assists while other markers came from Brett Fleming, Mitch Parker and Brett Hawrys.

The regular season begins for both teams Saturday.


Skaters from the valley per-formed well in the Vancouver Island Skate International competition at Parksville.

Star 4 event participants compete for medals and three made the grade.

Duncan Skating Club’s Courtney Vanderstap placed first in Star 4 13 and Over Group 2 while Fuller Lake’s Am-ber Ree took first for Star 4 Under 13.

Fuller Lake’s Paris Hanke also got into the medals with a third in Star 4 13 and Over Group 1. Baylee Hopwo of Duncan finished seventh in that division.

Others in Star 1 through 3 competed for ribbons and an evaluation.

Duncan results in 3B Group 2 were: Haley Dragicevich gold, Jenna Batty silver, Stephanie Hleck bronze. Anna

Brancato and Caitlyn Luckhurst earned silver in 3B Group 3.

Peyton Kong claimed silver in 3A Group 2, Camryn Visscher bronze in 3A Group 3, Sophia Hodgins silver and Fuller Lake’s Nora Goeschick bronze in 3A Group 4 and Danika Hakala of Fuller Lake silver in 3A Group 5.

Results in Star 2 were: Amelia Trimble of Fuller Lake merit in Group 4, Rylee Smith and Paiton Douglas bronze in Group 5, Grace Haugen silver in Group 6, Ryley MacDonald silver and DelRae Olson bronze in Group 7, Drew Kuipers bronze in Group 8 and Sonja McCormack silver for Group 9.

Brooke Wipplinger earned a merit award for Star 1 Group 3.

Ree also placed sixth for bronze inter-pretive, Hopwo fourth for introductory interpretive and Luckhurst 11th for pre-introductory interpretive.

Youth Athleteof the Week

Leah TheobaldSpeed kills in rugby and that’s what makes Leah Theobald so deadly to the opposition. Theobald, 17, a Grade 12 student, plays fullback for the Cowichan Secondary School senior girls’ rugby team. She’s a threat whenever she touches the ball. “You kind of just have to run fast and be tough,’’ said Theobald of her position. “You see the whole field so you have to be loud and tell people where to go, direct them.’’ Previous track training came in handy, helping her to make the B.C. Under 18 sevens team. “She stretches defences, she’s just so fast,’’ said Cowichan coach Brad Skene. “She’s really adapted to the game and figured out how to use her speed. To have our other weapons and then have her, it just causes defences lots of confusion.’’ This is only Theobald’s second year of rugby but she’s emerged this season as an instant leader. “I didn’t really have time in Grade 10 so I cut back some sports in Grade 11 so I could play,’’ she said. A little peer pressure from team members played a role in Theobald joining rugby. “I did track so most of them knew I had athletic ability so they wanted me to come out,’’ she said.

Changing just one letter in the last name of the Cowichan Valley Capitals’ new

majority owner makes him a Winner.

Cory Wanner, 42, hopes that’s not just a coincidence and good things are ahead for the B.C. Hockey League team after a difficult season because the dedicated fans of Cowichan deserve it.

“We want the people in Dun-can and the Cowichan Valley to get very excited,’’ said Wan-ner during a visit to the Caps’ spring camp on the weekend.

“The valley’s going to be very proud of us with the turn-around in the product we’re going to be able to put on the ice come September.’’

Wanner was born and raised in Estevan, Saskatchewan, went to school for a couple of years in Calgary and returned to Estevan in 1991 to a family business selling oil field equip-ment.

He still operates successful businesses in the region — a real estate branch known as ICON Investments and IPT Canada that represents two oil field transportation companies in Estevan and Kindersley.

Wanner and his wife have

seven children aged 20, 17, 15, 13, 12, 10 and three. The 20- and 13-year-olds are girls.

Wanner’s wife comes from a family of six girls and four boys.

They plan to continue living in Estevan, but also part-time here.

“I’m looking for a second home here on the island,’’ Wanner said. “We plan to spend two, three or four months.’’

Coach and general manager Bob Beatty is a minority owner under Wanner.

“Bob and I met four years ago in Prague, Czech Repub-lic on a Bantam showcase,’’ explained Wanner. “We kept in touch. We ran into each other once or twice a year.’’

Wanner intended to buy the remaining shares in the Caps from the long-term people to make the ownership a nice tidy package, but “we have no problem keeping some minor-ity shareholders in,’’ he said if that’s what they desired.

Wanner said Beatty and former Caps’ coach Darren Rodney, who’s maintained a connection with the team for many years, were acquaintanc-es and that’s how word about the Caps’ franchise being for sale got back to him.

Stew Gordon was working on a deal with one party but it fell through and Wanner

worked out tentative plans with him to purchase the team in January before finalizing things in the next two months.

Wanner could not disclose the purchase price of the team, but said the escalation of prices in sports has raised Western Hockey League franchises to between $5 million and $8 million.

He sees the value in BCHL franchises going up as well. Yearly budgets for junior hockey teams are pegged be-tween $300,000 and $700,000 to run a team and he puts the Caps’ budget somewhere in the middle.

Wanner’s involvement bodes well for the long-term stability of the Caps’ franchise. Fans were initially worried about the team being sold and moved, but Wanner said he never had any intention of doing that. He’s here to stay.

“We showed up here in March for the first time in the valley and fell in love with it,’’ Wanner said. “It exceeded our expectations.

“We can be in an environ-ment with these boys that is a small-town feel.’’

Wanner’s background dictates financial responsibility. He intends to run the franchise under that edict.

“When we looked west, our understanding was Alberta was slightly profitable and

B.C. can be profitable if you’re responsible and do things properly. We’re not in this for a profit. We’re in it to satisfy a desire for the love of the game and our way of giving back

because I’ve been blessed in my life.’’

The big thing for Wanner is providing an opportunity for all kids to get to the next level.

“It is the elite, we believe,

the premier junior program in Canada. We just want to be a part of that process and be a partner to the BCHL and showcase junior hockey in Canada.’’


Cowichan LMG Pringle has reached the semifinal round of the Provin-cial A Cup soccer championship with a dramatic victory.

Cowichan came from behind with two goals in the late stages to win a quarterfinal match at Langley Sunday 2-1.

The game was scoreless at halftime. “We actually played quite well in the first half

and had a couple of very good chances,’’ said

Cowichan’s Tyler Hughes.Joel Wilson also came up big in the Cowichan

net on one Langley scoring opportunity.Langley struck for a goal midway through the

second half.“They were better in the first bit of the second

half,’’ said Hughes. “After their goal, it woke us up a bit and we started to press.’’

With only about seven minutes remaining, Kevan Brown scored the equalizer. The ball went into the box and a defender headed it back into the middle where Brown won it and put it past the ‘keeper.

“Both teams were thinking overtime then,’’ said Hughes.

But Cowichan ended up getting the game-winner in injury time. Kevin Jones crossed the ball and Dan Cato freed himself from his check to finish the play off.

“It’s almost like we finally got a break, we’re working so hard,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin.

“It was a huge win,’’ Hughes said. “The guys were really happy, especially to come back from being one goal down.’’

Offense has been a problem for Cowichan

despite its remarkable record this season. On the plus side, the club tied a Vancouver Island Soc-cer League Div. 1 record with just eight goals against this season while going 14-1-3.

“We know if we can score two goals in a game we’re going to win 95 per cent of the time,’’ said Hughes.

Cowichan’s victory sets up a semifinal game at home Sunday against West Vancouver, 5-2 win-ners over Bays United Liquor Plus. The game is booked for McAdam Park Sunday at 3 p.m.

“We should have a big crowd for this one,’’ said Martin.

Don BodgerCory Wanner feels at home in the valley already and is happy to be supporting opportunities for kids as Caps’ owner.

Everyone knows the saying ‘One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.’

Cobble Hill’s Karyne Bailey’s quite familiar with it and uses

it often when promoting her online recy-cling forum Cowichan Valley Recycle.

“Our group is about gifting things out for free and obtaining items we desire for free,” Bailey explained of the Yahoo Group, CV Recycle, which she created in 2004.

Since its inception the group’s seen an in ow of about 1,000 members and hundreds of items come and go and take a new lease on life.

“Fronts of old broken speakers became jewelry displayers, old banned cribs became trellises, banned walkers became tomato cages,” Bailey gives as examples of what members have done with items posted on the forum. “The group’s been a lot of fun.”

Before CV Recycle, Bailey had her hand in training facilitators for the international recycling group ‘Freecycle.’

But not for long.

Once the ‘Freecycle’ movement began gaining speed, its owner pulled back from allowing the use of the name in different forums across the world.

But the response to the concept, folks posting items they would be tur ng any-way for others to use, was so great Bailey came up with Cowichan’s very own group.

“It’s based on an open membership network,” she explained. “And it brings together a community of like-minded people where you don’t necessarily want to take everything to the thrift store. Instead you can choose who you want to gift items to.”

Besides two volunteer helpers, Bailey, also owner of the online book reuse site Bailey Books, does most of the grunt work moderating the site.

And moderation is a must as there are rules and guidelines, including all items must be free, and users must post an ad-equate description of the item, including a location.

She’s also quick to steer away spammers, or those just wanting to use the group to advertise their products for sale.

She sees a steady ow of posts on everything from furniture and children’s clothing, to trades on garden tools and supplies and pets up for adoption.

The site is ideal for students without a lot of dough and young folks moving out for the rst time, people who are moving or downsizing and seniors who aren’t strong

enough to transport large items to their local thrift stores or recycling facilities.

“We had a member last month moving to Australia and who was downsizing so he had a free sale at his house,” Bailey said.

“He opened his doors to the members of the group to have a look through his house and he was literally down to a couple tables that hadn’t been taken and a couple bed sheets, but most everything was gone.

“It’s amazing what can happen with a group like this.”

And Bailey and the member moving to Australia were pretty impressed with folk’s tact when combing through items in the house.

“There was no ransacking of the house. People were polite and would ask the owner to be sure before taking any items,” Bailey said.

Bailey’s hoping to spread the word about her grass roots group as she’s seen a small but not substantial decline in members.

Member numbers ebb and ow with residents moving to and from the commu-nity, Bailey said, also noting the forum’s linked with other recycle sites in different communities.

If you’re an active CV Recycler but are moving, there will be information available on other group’s available in other com-munities.

“It always starts with word of mouth,” she said.

Check the group out at cvrecycle.ca.

Queen Margaret’s School head of school Wilma Jamieson is quick to dish out cred-its to the folks behind

the school’s recent Green Business Black Tie Award win.

Jamieson accepted the award at the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce’s ceremony April 13 but was quite humble about her involve-ment in a whack of green-initiatives the private school is undertaking and looking at for the future.

“The students have really been buying into this idea and they’re very keen,” said Jamieson last week. “It’s kind of hard to hold a compost program when the students aren’t interested.”

The school’s primary garden program providing herbs and veg-gies to the school’s kitchen and to Cowichan’s food banks, is just one of a number of environmentally-friendly programs school staff, students and parents have been involved in.

Small steps amount to large strides and that’s the case for

projects such as painting disposal cans with vibrant colours and clear indicators of what goes where. Also on that list are eliminating lunch trays to cut down on washing wa-ter consumption, promoting use of recyclable water bottles, using the school’s horse manure to nourish its many ower beds and making manure donations to community groups like Cowichan’s new Kins-men Youth Urban Farm project.

Big picture projects include installing solar panels in one build-ing, converting one of the school’s buses to bio-diesel, constructing the learning centre building to en-vironmental standards, and taking advantage of natural lighting with its building plans as well as with the riding ring, which was built about four years ago.

At the forefront of the school’s efforts is a senior girls Green Team, which has been working with a parent group on a number of the school initiatives — mainly a long-term goal of becoming a Zero-Waste school.

And that’s on top of the existing legacy project, which includes the goal of creating school green-houses.

As part of its zero-waste strategy, QMS must work with the City of Duncan on compost pickup, as well as forming many more com-munity partnerships, explained Ja-mieson, noting one of the school’s

Grade 7 classes have become a zero-waste classroom.

“Our journey of going green has been kind of a slow process, a gradual one, but it seems lately students have just become really

excited about it and on board,” she said. “And they’ve become a huge motivator for us.

“It sure gives a real hope for the future. That’s where you see the real change in the world happening.”

QMS: Private school’s need for green sky rockets, earning it a Green Business Black Tie Award

Ashley DegraafQMS head of school Wilma Jamieson credits the many students, including Grade 7 students Kyra Gurski and Allie Johnston (pictured), who’ve been keen to make the school green and a big reason behind why the school won a Black Tie green business award. That being said, Jamieson oversees the green initiatives the private school is currently undergoing.

By Tom Loski

Earth Day is celebrated annually April 22 with events held across the globe to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. For-tisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environmentally re-sponsible way to all of the communities we serve.We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we provide to our customers.One simple way customers can help the envi-ronment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests.When customers go paperless, their bill is de-livered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural gas bill. Another simple way customers can look at reducing their carbon footprint is through re-bates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs. . Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps custom-ers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both financial incentives and advice on energy efficient tech-nologies and practices. In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Effi-ciency and Conservation programs helped resi-dential, commercial and industrial customers save more than 360,000 gigajoules of natural gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes

in one year. Renewable natural gas is a B.C.-made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce renewable natural gas comes from or-ganic waste found at local landfills and farms. Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giving our custom-ers a renewable energy source.

For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, customers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renewable. We’ll then inject an equivalent amount into our system.To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program. Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet fu-

ture needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paperless billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas fur-nace — you’re supporting the environment.

Tom Loski is the vice president of customer ser-vice at FortisBC.

new 2013 Ram 1500.Forgetting trim levels, there are literally hundreds of ways to out t light pickups due to the myriad of needs and uses.A new wrinkle these days are ever-rising fuel/operating

costs and that means combin-ing expected brawn with new levels of weight saving and fuel economy.It starts with the use of an eight-speed automatic trans-mission, the rst I know of in

a pickup truck.The TorqueFlite 8 also does away with column or oor shifters supplanted by a rotary knob mounted to the left of the centre stack. This “e-shift” dial is simple to see and use, even with work gloves on.Appreciated by those who know trucks is the ability to shift from Reverse to Drive quickly when towing or navigating in snow, mud, loading ramps, work sites and parking lots.The eight-speed is part of a new thermal management system that quickly raises the temperatures of the trans-mission and engine. Ram

engineers found that heating uids as soon as possible improved fuel ef ciency by 1.7 per cent purely by cutting parasitic losses.The 2013 Ram pickups are available in a choice of long or short box and three cab styles, Regular, Crew or Quad.The eight-speed will be stan-dard on the new 3.6-litre V6 and will be optionally avail-able on the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 later this year.The quad cam V6 is used widely across the Chrysler model lineup and, in the Ram, it produces 305 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque. More importantly, it offers 42 per

cent more horses, 11 per cent more torque and an ex-pected 22 per cent better fuel economy than the 3.7-litre V6 it replaces.The second engine choice is the proven overhead valve 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with 395 hp and 407 lb/ft of torque, with a stated 12 per cent fuel consumption improvement over the 2012 version of the Hemi. Standard transmission is a six-speed automatic.Lastly is the 4.7-litre SOHC V8 with 310 hp and 330 lb/ft of torque mated to a six-speed automatic and aimed primarily at eet sales.Ram is offered in 4X2 and 4X4 versions in short and long boxes, three cab sizes (Regular, Quad and Crew) and no less than seven trim levels (SXT, SLT, Outdoors-man, Big Horn, Sport, Lara-mie and Laramie Longhorn).Starting price for the base SLT 4.7-litre is $26,995; but because of the hundreds of ways to mix and match, over-all pricing is too complicated to detail here.This is what Chrysler Canada told me of cially.“Essentially, the V6 with eight-speed is $1,200 over the 4.7 and another $200 for the Hemi 5.7 with six-speed. So $1,400 for a Hemi over the base 4.7. But on the SLT you can actually choose the V6 or the Hemi for same price (again different pack-ages, etc.).”At the press launch in Nash-ville I spent the whole day in the 3.6-litre in SLT trim, which is one step up from the base SXT and what I thought will prove the most popular choice, especially in the Crew Cab version I drove.Ram claims the 3.6-litre has the same grunt as a V8.With just my co-driver and I aboard, it certainly felt very strong on the combination of mostly secondary roads south of Nashville.The ride, not the power, was the best part. Even without the optional air suspension, the Ram tracked the narrow roads in that part of the state tenaciously.Later towing a big trailer

with a large ATV strapped to it, the Ram pulled up and down gentle grades with no discernable sense of the transmission hunting the rev range for more power.Even though our SLT was basically entry level, the seats were big and supportive with dozens of cubbies and storage areas scattered throughout, which is what those who will gravitate to the SXT or SLT are looking for.The interior of the 2013 Ram Laramie Longhorn puts many premium luxury sedans to shame featuring real wood trim imported from France.But if you want premium luxury-like ttings, the Long-horn has without doubt the most opulently equipped in-terior offered by any vehicles under the Chrysler Corpora-tion banner.The optional air suspension ($1,500) offers ve ride heights that raise or lower the body over a range of four inches. It changes ride height at speed as selected manually from the console or key fob.With the air suspension, Ram claims best in class step-in height or 553.4 mm (21 in), ground clearance 274 mm (10.8 in), best departure angle 27.8 degrees and breakout angle of 24.2 degrees.Little details, as noted above, are a big deal with pickup buyers and the Ram has sweated a lot of them.With the eight-speed trans-mission, there are active shut-ters in front of the radiator. When closed, they help direct air away from the engine bay to improve aerodynamics. They automatically open when needed.There are some 45 safety/driver aids on every Ram, most standard.With 16 per cent of Canadian vehicle sales being pickups, obviously a lot is riding on the 2013 Ram, and of cials in Nashville were buoyed by the fact their sales are up 28 per cent so far this year, which they see as encouraging.Could this be the Year of the Ram?

Details are everything on 2013 Ram pickups










COLOGNE, Germany, Feb. 7, 2013 – Ford has started production at its assembly plant in Cologne, Germany, of the new Ford Fi-esta ST – the first ever sub-seven second pro-duction Fiesta.Developed by Ford Team RS, the European arm of Ford Motor Company’s Global Per-formance Vehicle group, the new Fiesta ST for Europe is powered by a 1.6-litre Eco-Boost petrol engine to achieve 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and offer 182 PS and 240 Nm of torque, with a fuel consumption of only 5.9 l/100km and 138 g/km CO2 emissions*. Top speed is 220 km/h.“The new Fiesta ST is a very modern per-formance car built on more than 30 years of fast Fiestas and a global development process,” said Juergen Gagstatter, chief pro-gramme engineer, Performance Cars, Ford of Europe. “This vehicle is a significant step forward, both in terms of our proud heritage of blending a powerful engine with a dynam-ic chassis, and also in achieving reduced fuel consumption and emissions.”The new high-performance Fiesta ST fol-lows iconic Fiesta models including the

XR2, XR2i, RS1800, RS Turbo and first generation ST; and is equipped with Ford’s turbocharged Twin-independent Vari-able Camshaft Timing EcoBoost engine to achieve faster acceleration and a higher top speed than the 2002 Ford Focus ST170. The second-generation Fiesta ST has also been confirmed for launch in North America and Asia Pacific.The new Fiesta ST is also equipped with MyKey, a Ford-exclusive technology that al-lows parents to encourage safer driving and limit their teenager’s exposure to risk at the wheel; and SYNC – Ford’s voice-activated in-car connectivity system – with Emergency Assistance, that directly connects vehicle oc-cupants to local emergency services opera-tors after an accident.The stated fuel consumption and CO2 emis-sions are measured according to the techni-cal requirements and specifications of the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 as last amended. The results may differ from fuel economy figures in other regions of the world due to the different drive cycles and regulations used in those markets.

The 2013 Honda CR-V and the 2013 Honda Odys-sey were both honored by U.S. News & World Report among its “Best Cars for Families.” The efficient and capable CR-V was named “Best Compact SUV for Families” and the stylish up to 8-passenger Odyssey was named “Best Minivan for Families” among 2013 model year vehicles sold in the United States.“If you’re looking for a top safety-rated, fuel efficient, fun-to-drive family vehicle, you can’t really go wrong with a Honda,” said Mike Accavitti, vice president of national marketing op-erations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Both the CR-V and the Odyssey ex-emplify ‘family friendly’ with top safety ratings, proven Honda quality and loads of smart features to keep the driver and all pas-sengers comfortable and connected.”The “Best Cars for Fami-lies” methodology com-bines quality, size and family-friendly features into a composite score. Qual-ity is measured using a weighted average of scores from the U.S. News rank-ings at the time the awards are published. The rank-ings compare cars on the basis of safety, reliability and a consensus of automo-tive critics’ opinions. Size is based on a vehicle’s seating capacity and interior space. For family-friendly features, the availability of features deemed to be helpful to fam-ilies by U.S. News editors is factored in.The 2013 Honda CR-V provides upscale styling, excellent fuel efficiency, and a host of standard conve-nience features, making it one of the most fun and functional compact SUVs in America. The CR-V is rated by the Insurance In-stitute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as a TOP SAFETY PICK and is distinguished by a National Highway

Traffic Safety Administra-tion (NHTSA) 5-star Over-all Vehicle Score.1 Compact on the outside and roomy inside, the CR-V represents

an unparalleled balance of size and capability in the en-try SUV segment. With its car-like interior comfort, a smooth and quiet ride, plus

innovative features, the ver-satile CR-V is a great fit for families or individuals with an active lifestyle.

Details are everything on 2013 Ram pickups










By Neil Moore,Metroland Media/Wheel-stalk.com -The act of motoring, in nearly every way, is becom-ing less affordable by the minute.Aside from fuel providers and insurance companies picking our pockets, we’re up against politicians and bureaucrats devising still more ways to fleece the driv-er: photo radar, toll roads, red-light cameras, and ever more speed traps.The only bright light is the vehicle itself.A family member once la-mented about spending nearly $25K on a Neon. I’d sooner have purchased Nortel stocks, but imagine how much more vehicle you could buy for that sum to-day.Case in point, and involv-ing far less dough, was my tester for the week, the 2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback.In the new-generation mod-el, which bowed in 2012 as both sedan and hatchback, cheap and cheerful has been replaced with a more sophis-ticated vehicle, starting with Hyundai’s signature ‘flu-idic sculpture’ styling, which gives the sedan the appear-

ance of its larger, pricier sib-ling – the Sonata.But I prefer the look of the five-door hatch, and in this form, the Accent has a sportier, more athletic stance. In particular this is true when riding on the 16-inch alloy wheels, which are standard on my automatic GLS tester (starting price $18,949).The basic model, however, can be had for as little as $13,749 with six-speed manual. It’s pretty basic transportation. You don’t get air conditioning, power windows or Bluetooth, but it does come with power locks, six-way adjustable driver’s seat, tilt steering and four-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/USB/iPOD audio system.And of course, a full com-plement of airbags, along with electronic stability con-trol, traction control, and vehicle stability manage-ment.More popular is the mid-level GL that adds air con-ditioning, power windows, remote keyless entry, split-folding rear bench, cloth door inserts and more stor-age options like overhead sunglasses holder and centre console box. And for 2013,

it even comes with heated front seats.This is one I could easily live with, and at $15,849 with manual (add $1,250 for six-speed automatic); this trim level covers most needs for a daily driver. Except Blue-tooth, which if you don’t mind ponying up another $1,850 for the GLS model, also adds automatic climate control, power sunroof, and upgraded 172-Watt AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio system.And as mentioned earlier, 16-inch alloys instead of 14-inch steel rims with wheel-covers.With claimed “class above” interior volume, the sub-compact Accent provides ample knee and headroom for adult occupants in rear.The interior is also roomy from all seating positions – including the rear where cars in this segment are often cramped. This can be cred-ited to a 70 mm increase in the wheelbase (to 2,570 mm) and 5 mm increase in width (to 1,700 mm) over the out-going model.The cargo area is also gener-ous, and provides 600 litres behind the rear seats, which can be expanded with them

dropped.As before, Accent is powered by a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder engine, but this time with gasoline direct injection and continuously variable valve timing.Horsepower is up from 110 to 138, and torque has in-creased from 106 to 123 lb/ft.Fuel economy has also improved with the new 1.6-litre Gamma delivering

7.2/5.2/6.3L/100 km (city/highway/comb) with the six-speed automatic.With the increase in power, new gearbox and excellent power-to-weight ratio, you might expect a big bump in performance. But keep in mind the Accent has been tuned – and geared – for op-timum fuel economy.The Accent hatchback pro-vides a generous 600-litre cargo hold with the 60/40

split rear bench upright. You can drop the seatbacks for larger items.I’m not generally a fan of ‘green’ buttons that sap the life from already fuel-efficient four cylinder en-gines, but the ActiveECO function, which modifies shift points and smoothes throttle response, can boost fuel economy another seven per cent.Hyundai even claims you’ll

get up to 915 kms on a tank of gas.There’s much more to be said about this entry-level car, built by a company that continues to raise the bar in so many segments.In the Accent, Hyundai ex-ceeds expectations both for first-time buyers – and for those seeking a fuel-efficient ride that’s about much more than simply a low sticker price.
