Smart Meter installation in Cowichan starts next month — a month earlier than previously stated by BC Hydro’s Ted Olynyk.
“Installation in some areas is moving smooth-er so that allows us to advance (installation) in
some communities,” he said Tuesday.But Olynyk told the News Leader Pictorial two months
ago, installation of 30,000 or so new meters on valley homes and businesses would begin in February.
“Meter exchanges in your community will commence in January 2012 and are scheduled to be completed by the end of May,” Olynyk’s Dec. 21 letter to council says.
But Councillor Sharon Jackson said the city voted in October against installing the new meters.
“It was passed unanimously by the past council (before the Nov. 19 election) that we don’t want Smart Meters in Duncan,” she said.
“This meterless technology is being forced on us.“There’s no middle-of-the-road source that’s told me
‘Sharon, it’s OK, you can believe the government on this one,’” Jackson said of folks fearing radio-frequency radiation from the new meters designed to save power and pinpoint outages.
She aims to refuse a new meter on her home.“There’s been absolutely no conversation with people
opposed to, and afraid of, Smart Meters.”Jackson was unsure if rejection notes will be attached
to meters on city buildings.That’ll be debated by council on Jan. 19, while Dun-
canites make their own choice.Hydro agents will eventually explain Smart Meter
information to council and other Cowichanians nixing the digital units, Olynyk said.
“About 500,000 Smart Meters have been installed in B.C. so far, and less than one per cent have said they want a delay in installation,” he said of Hydro’s data from installers, and customer tracking.
Cowichan customers will receive installation notices in January, several weeks before installation by contractor Corix, he explained.
Ads about installation will run in local newspapers, too.Outside of rejection notes — or locals with locks
around their current meters — installation takes about 10 minutes by uniformed agents who’ll knock on the door rst. A 60-second power delay is expected.Hydro can be called at 1-800-224-9376.

Curbside pick-up of meat waste and other organic garbage starts this year in North Cow-ichan. Mayor Jon Lefebure explained the mu-nicipality’s $310,000 kitchen-waste collection program could save taxpayers some $30,000 a year in regional trash-tipping fees.
North Cow’s program will twin Duncan’s current collection and recycling kitchen wastes
that could smell, and attract rodents.Organics include bones, meat refuse and
other greasy trash now being collected as regional garbage, then shipped to a Washing-ton State dump. Works crews’ home delivery of green bins and kitchen-catchers — plus the start date and routes — are pending, he said.
Organics will be turned into compost at
a Nanaimo plant. Program costs include $153,000 from council’s pollution reserve fund, and an annual hike in garbage and recycling fees to $118 from $114 for fi ve years.
“It’s an investment that’ll start paying off immediately because we’ll start getting that annual tipping-fee reduction,” said Lefebure.

Another record year for Pennies for PresentsAnother record year for Pennies for Presents
Ashley DegraafNews Leader Pictorial of ce manager Kim Sayer couldn’t be more tickled the NLP beat last year’s Pennies for Presents total with a tally of $15,800. Sayer’s also reminding folks tins are still oating around the community and the nal total will be revealed next week.

A Duncan man is one of two recreational halibut an-glers who landed nes to-talling $5,000 in Duncan court after pleading guilty
to charges of over shing, and obstruct-ing Fisheries agents, the feds said.
Duncan’s Campbell Egles-McK-innon, pleaded guilty in January to exceeding the daily limit for halibut, and obstructing a Fisheries of cer dur-ing crimes committed Aug. 23, 2010 in Paci c Rim National Park, Fisheries of cer Stefan Beckmann said.
Egles-McKinnon was ned a total of $2,000 for both offences.
Nolan Wilks of Port Renfrew pleaded guilty Oct. 6, 2011, to disturbing Stellar sea lions, breaking Marine Mammal Regulations, Beckmann said.
Wilks also pleaded guilty to exceed-ing the daily limit for catching halibut, and obstructing a sheries of cer (Beckmann).
“Mr. Wilks was ned $2,000 for disturbing the Stellar sea lions, and $500 for each of the other two counts (over shing and obstructing).”
Egles-McKinnon wasn’t charged for bothering the endangered sea lions as boat skipper Wilks admitted to throw-ing sh heads at them, Beckmann said of the protracted action.
“The case is concluded,” he said last week, “but it took a while to go through the hoops in Ottawa.”
Egles-McKinnon was aboard Wilks’ 26-foot boat when Parks Canada war-den Danielle Thompson told Fisheries agents a recreational shing vessel was harassing Stellar sea lions near
Carmanah Point.The crew, she said, was observed
chasing the mammals from their haul-out point by coming within 10 metres, and tossing objects at them.
“Clearly there was intent to chase them off the rocks — I believe for kicks,” Beckmann said.
A Parks Canada order bans people within 100 metres of Carmanah Point.
Stellar sea lions are listed under the Species At Risk Act.
Beckmann said he failed to nd Wilks’ boat until later that day at a Port Renfrew dock.
Wilks and Egles-McKinnon had shing licences, but were found with
18 halibut. The daily allowable limit is one sh.
Both men were also charged with obstruction of a sheries of cer by making false statements, and interfer-ing with evi-dence.
Most anglers are law-abiding, Beck-mann said, but these two men lied about where they got the seized halibut.
The culprits’ tales spanned being given the sh by a Native, to get-ting them from another boater. Some halibut were stashed under a docked boat, he said.
The nes were court-directed to the Port Renfrew Salmon Enhancement Society.
Halibut seized were handed to a Vic-toria Food Bank, and the SPCA’s Wild Animal Rescue Centre.

A slow start to this year’s cash collecting for the News Leader Pictorial’s Pennies for Presents campaign didn’t sti e the annual charity drive. Quite the opposite actually, reports NLP of ce manager Kim Sayer.
“We’re at an amazing $15,800 with more to go,” Sayer said, pumped pennies have been pouring in and staff and volunteers have again surpassed another year’s total.
Last year, NLP cashed in $15,679.13 for six valley charities with about $5,000 of that snagged from the in-augural book sale. This year’s second go at the book sale was again a huge boost to the drive, Sayer said, topping last year’s total with $7,400 raised.
“We had no idea it would be such a huge success. What can we say? The people of the Cowichan Valley love books,” she said, adding post-book sale doom and gloom about a slugglish start to cash donations didn’t last long.
“Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a decline in coin coming in and beyond that, less paper money and less silver,” Sayer summed of Pennies’ tins circulated
around the community as well as personal donations. “We realize that many families are stretched thin with regard to money allocated to charity.”
But kudos are in order to staff and students at George Bonner Middle School, who raised $1,350 toward the drive, Sayer noted.
“(Teacher Sue Murray) has been a great advocate for our Pennies program and has encouraged her class every year to collect and beat their goal from the prior year.
“Khowhemun, Bench and Alex Aiken schools also col-lected another $1,250 between them.”
Another boost to the campaign was the use of Island Savings Centre’s new coin-sorting machine. “In previous years, we’ve relied solely on volunteers and staff for roll-ing each and every coin that’s collected,” Sayer said. “We processed about $6,000 in coin through that machine and that’s a lot of coin.”
Donations from coppers, silver and folding cash plus the book sale proceeds will be shared by the valley’s four food banks: Cowichan Valley Basket Society, Lake Co-wichan Food Bank, Chemainus’ Harvest House and the south-end’s CMS Food Bank, as well as Cowichan’s Sal-vation Army, and Cowichan Women Against Violence.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011A6 Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
The Save Sansum Point campaign got its hands on the Christmas gift it wished for.
The Land Conservancy of British Columbia received $100,000 from
an anonymous donor in honour of Cortlandt Mackenzie and his late wife, Jean, toward con-serving Sansum Point, the 128-acre property located on the Stony Hill Peninsula near North
Cowichan’s Octopus Point. “The Mackenzie’s loved the Cowichan Val-
ley and resided there for many years,” a TLC press release says. “During their time in the valley Dr. Cort Mackenzie was the medical health of cer for the Central Vancouver Island Health Unit. He later became a professor at the University of British Columbia and was highly regarded for his expertise in environmental
health issues. He enjoyed sailing through the Sansum Narrows with its scenic views of the point and coastal bluffs, which are now protected as parkland.”
TLC’s tickled about the pre-Christmas dona-tion.
“I can’t think of a better present to give than the protection of a community treasure like Sansum Point,” said TLC’s executive director
Bill Turner. “It’s a gift that will make a lasting difference for current and future generations.”
When the property, valued at $1.85 million, came on the market, TLC partnered with the Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Cowichan Land Trust to purchase the property.
To make a donation to Sansum Point in time for the 2011 tax year call 1-877-485-2422 or visit conservancy.bc.ca.

Cowichan Cat Rescue calling for cat foodCowichan Cat Rescue calling for cat food
Cowichan Cat Rescue’s trying their hand at a new way of collecting donations.
Organizers are calling their latest drive “cram the van” and are asking Cowichanians to come out Dec. 31 to Duncan Pets to ll a
Caravan with cat food. “Our efforts are focused on lling a Dodge Caravan
with cat food, to stock up for the upcoming kitten season as well to collect donations to help pay off our consider-able vet bills from 2011,” said organizer Lisa Aeichele. “It has been brought to our attention that the community may be misinformed and people tend to believe we get our vet services free.
“This is not the case and our outstanding vets need to be paid.”
Cowichan Cat Rescue’s mandate includes putting a halt
to Cowichan’s feral cat population from breeding. “The impact is far greater than just stopping kittens
from being born in the wild,” Aeichele said. “These cats are fed, xed and treated for any ailment they have. What we are doing gives them the ghting chance they were denied when they got thrown away like garbage.”
In 2011, CCR spayed 76 cats for low-income families.Its feral cat program xed 450 Cowichan cats. “Our budget this year required $50,000,” Aeichele said.
“We have received a portion from grants (approximately $15,000) but the rest, well those dollars come from adop-tions and donations.”
Cram the van takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Duncan Pets just off the Island Highway next to the Money Mart.

Here are excerpts from my year-end interview with B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix:
TF: There was a lot of cheering at your conven-tion Dec. 10 when federal NDP leader Nycole Turmel said that B.C. shouldn’t have to pay Ottawa back the $1.6 billion HST transition payment. That
hasn’t been your position. Isn’t this a mixed message for the public?
AD: No. In the federal election campaign, the NDP advocated for that position. And of course it was the
late Jack Layton who put forward the argument that B.C. would not have to return the money, would we have voted at that time to get rid of the HST. Obvi-
ously, while the NDP did extremely well in that election, we didn’t win. Mr. Harper won. He says we have to pay the $1.6 billion back and the Liberal Party of B.C., Ms. Clark and Mr. Campbell’s party, signed a very bad deal for B.C. that we’re stuck with.
TF: You replaced Carole James this year. At the root of that situation was a complaint about a policy vacuum in the B.C. NDP. I put it to you that that vacuum still exists …
AD: [laughs] I guess I can’t count on your sup-port.
TF: I’m making a list here. Increase corporate taxes to 2008 levels. Bring back a corporate capital tax and use that to fund student grants. Have I missed anything?
AD: In January and February, many people criti-cized those proposals, especially the one returning corporate taxes to 2008 levels. And then the govern-ment adopted, brie y, those proposals in May. So I’m delighted that I’m moving the political debate in a positive direction.
I defy you to name any opposition leader in any
jurisdiction in Canada who has been as speci c on taxation as I have 18 months before an elec-tion. You’re going to see our detailed program in advance of the election.
At the NDP convention I spoke at length about the key issues of our time, about the things that I’m campaigning for right now, includ-ing improving skills training in our province, ad-dressing issues of inequality, addressing the fact that raw log exports are out of control in the province.
I get criticized on some days for being too speci c and too policy-oriented, so I’m delighted to hear your criticism that I’m not speci c enough.
TF: The B.C. Liberals leapt on your recent state-ment about potentially increasing income taxes for high earners. This sounds like [federal NDP leader-ship candidate] Brian Topp’s suggestion of a new top tax bracket. Is that what you were saying?
AD: On personal income taxes, I think because the B.C. Liberal Party has continually increased costs on middle class people, for example, shifting the hydro burden onto residential customers, and subsidizing industrial customers. They’re raising
MSP premiums, raising ferry fares, raising long-term care fees, they have speci cally gone after the middle class. I don’t think there’s really personal tax room there for middle-income people. That’s my view and my position.
TF: So does that mean increasing taxes for higher income people?
AD: No. I think what you have to do is rst of all look at the scal situation closer to the election and be clear about that.
•••The interview also touched on the NDP teaming
up with Bill Vander Zalm, and the future of social-ism. You can nd the full text on the News Leader Pictorial’s website by pointing to the Opinion tab and clicking on B.C. Opinions.Tom Fletcher is the legislative reporter for Black Press. Reach him at t [email protected].

Another record-Another record-breaking year breaking year for Penniesfor PenniesThank you:Thank you: Cowichan community never ceases to Cowichan community never ceases to amaze us with its generosityamaze us with its generosity
We feel it every year.That small ball of anxiety, wondering whether
this will be the year we don’t exceed last year’s total in our Pennies for Presents campaign.
And every year, this community shows us, once again, how generous it is.
By the morning of Thursday, Dec. 22, we had exceeded last year’s total for Cowichan’s Pennies campaign.
The total currently stands at about $15,800. And that’s not counting any donations we receive before Dec. 31.
That cash — raised via our annual used booksale plus penny drives at local schools, business and other institutions in the community — all stays right here in the Cowichan Valley.
Our local food banks all receive a cut, along with the local Salvation Army and the Cowichan Women Against Violence Society.
We can’t thank you enough for your unwavering support of this campaign.
And huge thanks also go to the many volunteers — such as Don Jenner, George Minckler and Ellie Smith — who spent hours at our of ce, sorting through coins and then rolling them for counting.
We couldn’t do this without the donors, and we couldn’t do it without our dedicated counters.
So thank you to each and every one of you who helped the cam-paign this year, and all the years past.
Those spare coins in your wallets go a long way toward helping this community care for all its residents.
And your tireless support of this campaign goes a long way to-ward proving just how fantastic a place the Cowichan Valley truly is. Thank you.
This we likeThis we likeWe’re thrilled to hear Duncan is
pushing ahead with a facade make-over program.
When a town boasts as much charm as Duncan does, it pays to make it look its best. The renovations to Craig Street are a great example of how to turn something good into something even better. A town that looks welcom-ing attracts tourists and businesses — and retains its residents.
The good and the bad of this week in CowichanThis we don’tThis we don’tWhen a program is as successful as
the eco-energy home improvement grants handed out by the province and the feds, it seems like a no-brainer to keep it going.
But as it stands, Cowichanians have until March 31 to take advantage of Ottawa’s retrofi t rebate.
This program is good for homeown-ers, the economy, and the environ-ment. Keep it going.
Energy-ef cient home upgrades should be encouraged.
We say:We say:You help us help local groups

Time to bite the bullet and x our Time to bite the bullet and x our pool funding formulapool funding formulaDear editor
From the top of the Malahat to Ladysmith and west to Lake Cowichan, our community shares about the best of everything that Mother Nature can bestow upon us. It is such a shame to see different parts of that community at log-gerheads with one another. If one draws a line from Saltair to Shawnigan Lake, and another from Lake Cowichan to Cowichan Bay, they intersect, roughly at the Cowichan River and the Trans-Canada Hwy. That’s approximately one kilometre from the Cowichan Aquatic Centre!
A circle drawn with the centre on Duncan, includes both Saltair and Chemainus, and Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill and Cowichan Bay and comes within two or three kilometres of Cowichan Lake.
If the location of the pool had been planned for it to be central, it could hardly be better situated. It’s time to bring some harmony back to that larger community by harmonizing the two-tier pool fee structure- immediately. Let’s be friends again.
If the pool stakeholders can relent, bite the bullet, and share the pool, perhaps, in the future, the CVRD lettered areas might consider joining Duncan and North Cowichan in mutual support of recreational funding. Surely, it would be nancially advantageous to the south end to come and share the existing pool instead of shouldering the high cost of build-ing a competing facility, Surely, also, those who are driving to distant pools can reduce their carbon footprint and driving cost also. Everybody bene ts and the pool can easily handle the increased traf c of happy and satis- ed area residents. Lastly, stakeholders would
bene t somewhat by reducing maintenance cost losses. It certainly should be some kind of win-win situation that a new, more businesslike North Cowichan council could embrace and agree to quickly.G. & R. CroyNorth Cowichan
Caring community inspires seniors Caring community inspires seniors to keep stepping outto keep stepping out
Dear editor Recently after my gym work and swimming
at the Island Savings Centre gym and pool, I had a coffee to rest before the long walk home.
As I was waiting for my order to be lled, a young high school student came up and returned a loonie I had apparently dropped. As I carried my coffee to my table, I developed the shakes in my right arm and made a mess of spilt coffee on my table. I sat down to rest before getting up to get some serviettes to clean up the mess. As I sat down a male in his late 30s placed serviettes on my table. I was impressed with these two acts of kindness.
I am becoming increasingly aware of my loss of physical capabilities as I age. These two acts of kindness gives me con dence that I can keep getting out of my apartment and con dent that, if I develop problems, someone will come to my help. This allows me to keep my independence longer before being con ned in a senior’s home.
I would like to publicly thank these two Good Samaritans for their help in my time of need. I hope I was able to convey to all readers how important it is to help seniors in need. This community goodwill helps to increase the qual-ity of life we enjoy in the Cowichan Valley.Gerry MasudaDuncan
Lake Cowichan should be proud of its community jewelDear editor
Last weekend we drove from our home in Maple Ridge to Lake Cowichan to cheer on our grandson’s peewee hockey team the Delta Jets They were competing in the Lake’s two day peewee tournament. It had been more than ve years since my wife Aline and I had been
in or seen the old arena. We checked into the
Lake Cowichan Lodge with our 12 year old grandson Jackson and his father Mitch then headed off to the arena for what we thought would be two days sitting in the cold uncom-fortable hockey arena. We remembered it well from having been there often during our 27 years in the valley. Wow! We were blown away when we saw the magni cent refurbished Lake Cowichan Arena. Congratulations to everyone who had any part at all in making this transfor-mation possible. Everyone from out of town went home impressed with your new com-munity jewel. Every aspect of their visit to the Lake left a favourable lasting impression. It’s amazing what a community of commited vol-unteers can achieve when they set their minds to it: the Island Savings Centre, the world’s largest hockey stick and the Chemainus murals are perfect examples.Dick DrewMaple Ridge

“I just don’t understand Christmas. Instead of feeling happy, I feel sort of let down”.
—A Charlie Brown Christmas, 1965
People have very different experiences of the holidays:
Happiness, peace, joy, fun, celebration, hope and/or sadness, loneliness, worry, let-down
A lot of our feelings, happy or sad, have to do with expectations. What is it we are hoping for or dreading? What is our state of mind?
Are we open to what might occur and ready to just notice it without blame or judgment; and maybe even curiosity?
We may not be able to control what happens, but we do have some control over our response to it. A mindfulness approach to the holiday time can bring a very different experience:
• Prepare yourself by developing awareness of your breath, your level of stress and how it manifests.
• Notice your thoughts. Are they open or con-tracted?
• Practise being in the present moment rather than lost in thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow.
• If this is a time for remembering someone who has passed away or lost to you, how do you want to celebrate or take care of yourself? Plan this ahead of time.
• What will you contribute to this time that will bring happiness to yourself and others?
• What habits bring you down? What can you do instead?
• How do you respond to members of your fam-ily? Can you nd a way to escape the stickiness of some family relationships? Maybe take a breath, get exercise, eat healthy food, minimize alcohol, get enough sleep.
• If this holiday time brings nancial stress, consider simplifying.
• If other people’s opinions of you are more important than your own, think, “What you think of me is none of my business.”
• If you get caught in communication patterns that are win-lose try taking a breath before you respond and smile. See where the power really is.
• If you do not have family, friends or loved ones make a plan to meet with other people so that you are not alone.
• If you are alone, set yourself up with something to do and watch your mind, go for a walk, sing a song, watch a movie or connect somehow with someone in hospitals, the street, or nursing homes.
• Think about the true meaning of Christmas or whatever other holiday, and perform acts of kind-ness both to yourself and others.
• Acknowledge feelings of sadness and grief, experience them fully and let them go without traumatizing yourself with stories of the old days and old wounds.
• Call the crisis or another helpline if you feel desperate.
Live one breath at a time. Experience the mo-ment. Open to life. Enjoy freedom.Heather Ferris has a clinical counselling practice in Duncan and works in Africa from January to March of each year.

South-end Rotary hands out almost $12,000South-end Rotary hands out almost $12,000South Cowichan Rotary Club president Glenn Terrell dished out early Christmas gifts last
week to three local volunteer organizations and projects, on behalf of the organization. Terrell, at the south-end Rotary Club’s meeting Dec. 21, presented cheques totaling
$11,500 to the CMS Food Bank Society, Cowichan Valley Hospice Society, and Cowichan Community Kitchens.
Organization representatives Lou Thornton (CMS Food Bank), Gretchen Hartley (Hospice) and Lori Iannidinardo (Community Kitchens) were on hand to accept the dough.
“You make a concrete difference to many lives in crisis and need,” Hospice’s Hartley said. “Your leadership allows us to leverage these funds as we seek help from the rest of the com-munity.”
During the past 20 years, the South-Cowichan (Mill Bay) club has supported local organiza-tions with more than $250,000 of donations.

By the way, did you hear:• Nigel’s Smith’s survival was
touch and go for a while there. The Duncan man was returning from a recycling trip to Bings Creek with
his wife Gina when he realized his wedding ring was missing. Gina says they returned to the centre to discover a Good Samaritan had turned it in to staff, who quickly returned it. “They all had a good chuckle when I said they saved a man’s life today,” Gina said. “ It’s great to live in a place where people care. We will be sure to pay your kindness forward if given a chance.”
• Jason Finlayson tells us the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board Zone Christmas Luncheon was held Dec. 2 at Duncan Meadows Golf & Country Club. Cowichan Valley realtors donated a pile of unwrapped presents for the Salvation Army’s yearly toy drive and $775 to the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. Cliff and Barbara Moberg helped Finlayson bring the gifts to the Salvation Army. He also announced a $3,000 bursary to Vancouver Island University Cowichan Campus and Century 21 realtor Wendy Shaw made a plea for donations of tents and warm clothing for those residents lacking adequate shelter.
• All Battery owners Chris Coburn and Stephen Isbister have opened a Duncan store at
1-5311 Trans-Canada Highway south of the silver bridge across from Smitty’s restaurant. Third partner and accountant Jason Zimmel is running the local branch with sales manager Nathan Kamerbeek.
• Duncan CA student Nicole Collin passed the national uniform evaluation for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. A total of 427 B.C. writers successfully completed the exam, which was written over three days in September.
• A group of Shawnigan Lake School students recently travelled to Montreal’s McGill Uni-versity to participate in one of Canada’s most prestigious model United Nations conference, the Secondary Schools’ United Nations Sympo-sium. Johnny Brynelson, Babak Mohammadi Yekta, Johnny McCann, Max Ogle, Liam Brister, Otis Downey, Maddy Torrie, Jesse Wray and Hwi Eun Ban were the only Vancou-ver Island students to participate in the massive North American event.
• Chemainus Tours carriage horses Barney and Fred were spotted in the Nanaimo Old City Quarter throughout December giving Harbour City visitors horse-drawn trolley rides.

There’s still time to make your home more energy ef cient with cash from both the provincial and federal governments.
Cowichanians have until March 31 to take advantage of the LiveSmart BC and the feds’ ecoENERGY Retro t – Homes partial rebate programs.
But while that deadline is still months away, you’ll need the time if you still have work and energy audits to complete.
“You’ve got to keep an eye on that deadline because after the rst energy audit, you have to get all the work done, and then have a
second energy audit,” explained Cam Drew, manager at Thermo-proof Windows in Chemainus.
Work can include everything from up-dating insulation and weatherproo ng, to upgrading windows and heat sources — all eligible for the
eco-government grants.“We’re hoping (the federal program) will be
extended but we’ve seen it staggered over the past couple of years,” Drew said. “There are times when the LiveSmart program is running, but not the ecoENERGY, times when the
ecoENERGY program is running but not the LiveSmart, but sometimes, like right now, the two are together.”
Which means more cash for homeowners who do the necessary upgrades.
Those improvements are determined by an independent third-party energy auditor.
“They’ll let you know areas you could improve and receive a rebate for, and give you an EnerGuide rating,” Drew said.
Those audits run in the neighbourhood of $300, but are eligible for a $150 rebate from the government.
And after the work is complete, the auditor comes back in — at a cost of about $150 — and updates the EnerGuide rating.
“The rebate is based on that score, and what work you do,” Drew said.
For example, upgraded windows are eligible for about $70 to $100 per window. A new, energy ef cient heat pump is worth consider-ably more.
The auditor completes the necessary pa-perwork, and as long as it’s submitted before March 31, homeowners can expect cheques from both the provincial and federal govern-ments.
And, of course, there are other bene ts, too, from environmental to long-term nancial.
“With the new pricing from BC Hydro — an increase of eight per cent, with another eight per cent increase scheduled — people are pay-ing more attention to energy,” Drew explained.
The increase in upgrade work is such that Drew’s added two install staffers, and he sus-
pects other teams are similarly busy.“You may have had your rst energy audit
done a few months back, but if you’ve got to get the work done still, and then get the second audit, it’s going to get tight as we get closer to
the end of March,” he said. “I think you’ll nd energy auditors will tend to get pretty busy in the last few weeks of March.”

Terrie, of First Memorial Funeral Services will choose one question a week and post both the question and answer in the Wednesday issue of the newspaper. If your ques-tion is selected you are entered into a draw for a Dinner and Theatre tickets for two at the Chemainus Theatre.
Draw date December 28, 2011.Q: Can I make Prepaid Funeral arrangements in Advance?
A: Yes, absolutely you can. Making your wishes known in advance helps your loved ones carry them out. Other reasons for pre-paying funeral arrangments are it freezes the costs at todays prices, it helps to prevent emotional
over spending, it removes the burden of loved ones having to make those diffi cult decisions and reduces
the amount of time needed to spend at the funeral home when the death takes place.

Sharon Jackson won’t name downtown buildings she wants spiffed during a facade make-over program under debate at city hall.
But the veteran Duncan councillor backs a program proposed by the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society.
“Anything that makes downtown prettier and more welcoming is a no-brainer,” Jackson said.
Talks are uid about exactly how council might match DBIA dough to upgrade core building frontages to attract shoppers and boost civic pride, she said.
“The Duncan BIA is prepared to invest $10,000 annually into this program and is hopeful the city would match that investment, further increasing the incentive,” said DBIA president Garry MacGregor.
“We strongly believe this small investment has the potential to have a very positive impact on the down-town business community.”
So does Jackson. “It’ll go ahead for budget discus-
sions,” she said of the matched-fund-ing idea after last Monday’s council meeting, “but some members of council aren’t convinced that’s the way to go.
“Some want to freeze property
taxes for a year.”The facade-revamp plan will be
revisited in early 2012, she said, dismissing contrived facade themes downtown.
“Our of cial community plan guidelines are heritage colours but we don’t want to end up looking like Whistler.
“We want a variety of building designs, not just Victoriana.”
DBIA brass gave council a pro-posed Facade Improvement Program Guide and application form for feedback.
That FIP includes a project review
committee to probe and approve applications then inspect completed projects.
The committee could comprise one person appointed by the city and two DBIA members with no vested interest in the project.
The program can provide grants of up to half of the cost of eligible improvements, to a maximum of $1,000 per building, MacGregor explained.
Corner buildings with two street-facing facades could be eligible for up to $2,000 in grants. The mini-mum project value is $1,250.

Cowichan history lives through its artifacts — and its avid volunteers.
“We couldn’t survive without them,” said Kathryn Gagnon, curator of the busy Cow-ichan Valley Museum and Archives.
“Our volunteers are extraordinary because they could spend their time anywhere, but they bring all their exper-tise here — without them very little would get done.”
Meet retired teacher Greg Shea, 59, who moved to the island in 2009.
Helping the mostly grant-funded facility quenches his thirst for knowledge about Warm Land’s history and geography.
“Cowichan’s history is quite amazing,” he said, citing his English lineage matching that of early ‘long stock-ings’ who settled in the Warm Land as it mimicked the old country’s climate and topography.
Then there’s Cowichan’s human past.“I’m very interested in First Nations, and non-First Na-
tions history here,” Shea said.“The more I read and interact with the Cowichan His-
torical Society, the more I want to learn.”Ditto for stalwart volunteer Ellen Lukaitis, 81.The retired nurse has been a museum helper since 1989
when late husband and city councillor, Martin, volun-teered Ellen’s service.
“It was the best thing he ever did for me,” she said of the Dun-can freeman who led the city’s heritage committee. “I love it.”
Rewards for Lukaitis include social ones.
“You meet so many people from all over the world — France, Italy, Hawaii.
“People seek out museums wherever they go, and everyone’s
impressed with our good little museum that’s well laid
out.”Gagnon’s corps of unpaid volunteers works in the
train-station housed museum, and the Cowichan Valley Archives on city hall’s third oor.
“Our archives have retired librarians and retired law-yers,” she said of the archives’ 15 or so busy bees.
Their hive houses original valley photos, letters, docu-ments — plus paper and micro lm copies of the Cow-ichan Leader, and the News Leader Pictorial.
“They build this amazing base of knowledge, and help with hundreds of research requests we get every year.”
Data meets displays down Canada Street in the museum.
That’s where some 35 volunteers lovingly mount a revolving array of exhibits.
“They’re just invaluable; they greet visitors and handle tourists’ inquiries,” Gagnon said of her heritage helpers.
“There’s a core of volunteers who come all the time, and there are others we call on for special events.
“It’s like having a human-resources department.”Shea described Cowichan’s heritage resources as vital.“If we don’t value our history, we’ll lose things, and
future generations will ask ‘Why?’”The museum can be reached for volunteering or dona-
tions at 250-746-6612.

Sahtlam’s Alana Harley’s ring just doesn’t want to stay put.
“It’s the ring that wants to go on vacation every once in awhile,” Harley said about the silver belt-buckle piece passed down through
her family. Harley recently misplaced the ring and is on the hunt to
get it back. “It’s breaking my heart,” Harley said last week. “The
thing that really bothers me is that if someone nds it, it might just look like a trinket to them.
“It’s not like a diamond ring or anything but there’s a lot of sentimental value.”
There’s a long history associ-ated with the silver band.
“It was my grandmother Kitty’s ring that she passed on to my mom when she was 19 and moving to Canada from Ireland,” Harley explained in an email to the News Leader Pictorial.
“Mom was looking for a better life. They came from a very poor family and she was
originally coming to visit her sister but met my father.”The silver was then slid onto Harley’s nger after Kitty
passed away.“I’ve worn it since I was a teenager,” the 40-year-old
said.“After losing a bit of weight, it slipped off my nger in
the last week and I have torn the house apart looking for it and I cannot nd it.”
And it’s not the rst time the jewelry’s gone MIA. “My mom herself actually lost it and panicked about it
just like me,” Harley said. “It was just gone. It fell off her nger too.”Two years later, Harley was helping clean the family car
and found it under the seat. After Kitty passed away, Harley’s mom tucked the ring
away.Or so she thought. “It went missing again,” Harley said, adding after
another year, she was the one to nd it again, this time in a cupboard.
“Maybe one of my kids will nd it and they’ll be the one I pass it on to,” Harley said.
If the ring’s found in the community, she’s hoping who-ever nds it will get in touch with her.
After tracing her steps, she’s thinking it could likely have fallen off at Wal-Mart in the parking lot or inside the store or at Tansor Elementary School where her three kids attend.
She’s posted a picture of the ring on Facebook, looking for leads.
“My aunt in Ireland already commented saying ‘I re-member that ring on my mammy’s nger,’” Harley said.
Anyone with information about the missing ring can call Harley at 250-748-1177.

Elizabeth Chanter is in good company.
Her book, The House on Becket Lane, has been compared to clas-sics by Jane Austen and Charlotte
Bronte.And the praise is particularly notewor-
thy when you consider Becket Lane is the rst book Chanter has penned — literally,
penned.“I was caregiver to a friend, and I started
writing in the evenings — long-hand,” said Chanter, 80.
Over time, she developed the story of Lord Dashell Lonsdale, one of London’s most eligible bachelors, and Caroline, a woman with secrets.
When the two share a chance encounter, they spark a chain of events that may end their love before it can begin.
Chanter’s been writing the romance-mys-tery book slowly over several years, prodded along by a persistent pal.
“I got another friend to read it through for me, and she kept on nudging me to see the next episode, so I nally got it nished.”
The next step was nding a publisher — easier said than done.
Chanter ultimately opted to self-publish with iUniverse.
“I sent them my manuscript and they said it was far too long — it had to be divided in
half,” said Chanter, a Mill Bay resident.“Each half was still too long, so it had to be
severely edited down to their satisfaction, and I did have to cut out quite a lot.”
Copy edited by Walker Morrow, the book is scheduled to produce a sequel out of the ashes of the chopped manuscript sometime next year.
“iUniverse has nudged me about a trilogy,” Chanter added. “But I have to get the second half written rst, and see what else comes to mind.”
Becket Lane, meanwhile, is set in the 1820s and 1830s.
“I just like that era — that style of life when things were a lot slower,” Chanter said, add-ing she promises there are no “naughty bits” in her book.
Her novel’s modern spin on a classic theme is also a good way to describe Chanter’s writ-ing style: what started out as pages and pages of long-hand eventually had to nd its way onto a computer screen.
“I had to learn how to use a computer, which is very hard for a senior,” Chanter said. “I’m a lot better (with computers) now. I went to what was still Malaspina to learn.”
The House on Becket Lane can be pur-chased online at amazon.ca, or locally at the Laughing Llama, Ten Old Books and Gal-lowglass Books in Duncan, and Bucknucks Books at the Valleyview Centre.

And then the great And then the great strip was born...strip was born...Dateline 1952Dateline 1952: Commercial approved on new route: Commercial approved on new routeAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial
Just more than 60 years ago the main route through Duncan ran along Allenby Road, past the Cowichan Merchants’ (then Eaton’s) corner and up what is now Government Street to join Somenos Road.
That route was a tight squeeze through the downtown area, and logging trucks would often get stuck at Eaton’s corner, holding up traf c for hours. Along came a pristine new road designed to avoid the downtown core — a relaxed, semi-rural route on the east side of the busy city. Until, that is, private owners along it speculated there was a buck or two to be made from this new traf c. And Duncan city council readily agreed. Result: the Duncan strip aka The Nightmare Island Highway.
In December 1952, city councillors approved re-zoning of the A. C. Sutton property just north of the Cowichan River for a motel. Hot on the heels of this successful zoning application came several more, and aldermen acknowledged this was the opening stage in a general movement affecting city property along the new highway.
Shortly afterward, the entire block as far as Dobson Road, formerly Garnett Road, was zoned commercial. Soon, properties as far along as Coronation Avenue were added to the commercial strip.

Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial
Pure community theatre, with all its intended puns and pratfalls, was rehearsed at the Mercury Theatre last Tuesday toward this week’s wacky run of Arabian Nights: The Pantomime.
Shawnigan Players’ directors Karen Dyck and Bruce Stevens could have a year-end hit on their hands if festive folks drop shopping and making merry for an evening of commercial-free laughs.
It’s not that their colourful gags are new — it’s how the Players’ dare present them as humour at their own expense that’s cool.
Nights is draped in lovingly made costumes courtesy of Jan Ovans and Sue Cook, aboard piv-oting wooden panel sets constructed by Stevens, David Brockhurst and the cast.
Two humps up to Players who made the show’s cantankerous camel, Humpy (containing Max Menu and Tristan Sparks).
Humpy personi es the zany plot about how Ali (Lauren Cooper) pursues pompous princess Jasmina (Bella Pope) while the evil Vizier (Alex Gallacher) aims to thwart their marriage, and claim the desert kingdom throne.
Enter Popeye-like swab Singband (Brockhurt),
and royal-incognito Bob (Emily Brockhurt) who help rescue Ali from the Vizier’s cave, and lead him into the royal salon.
That cave’s populated by an amazing set of dancing skeletons, and a love-starved genie (Les-lie Sanchez), lending a comically surreal feel.
And intended farce wallops us with enough bummer jokes, cross dressing — spotlighted by Bill Levity as busty Dame Barber — puns, and melodramatics to pack a pyramid.
That’s the main idea of pantomime.Nights also mildly mocks local icons includ-
ing Duncan council, SunFm, the arts council, Cowichan Aquatic Centre’s two-tier user fees, and more.
It also invites viewers to laugh, boo, hiss, clap, and even comment out loud during the stage high jinks.
Arabian Nights, just like the valley’s stalwart troupe, is for fans of all ages.
The Players’ love of theatre shines in their annual pantomime gift to Cowichan, intended to break the crush of Christmas before New Year’s.
Drop your egg nog and iPod, and head to the Merc for the Players’ cultural whoopee cushion of the year — booing the Vizier, and cat-calling Dame Barber is that much fun.
Arabian Nights: The Pantomime runs until Dec. 30 at 7 p.m. — with a Dec. 31 matinee at 2 p.m. — in the Mercury Theatre, Brae Road.
Pantomime musical-comedy rating: 8.5 turbans out of 10.

The NutcrackerThe Nutcracker
Andrew LeongThe Royal City Youth Ballet’s The Nutcracker once again wowed Cow-ichan audiences at its two sold-out performances Dec. 16 and 17 at the Cowichan Theatre. Clockwise from left are Drosselmeyer, played by Leigh Taylor, mesmerizing Clara and the rest of the children with his magic tricks; the beloved Sugar Plum Fairy, played by Nozomi Sawada, dances in the sleeping mind of Clara, played by Isabella Lyons, who spends her night dreaming about the Nutcracker; and Mother Ginger, played by Matt Waldie, gets big laughs for her entrance on stage.

Secondary School, his post is vacant.A new champion will be crowned during the 2011
Youth Athlete of the Year luncheon at the Duncan Meadows Golf Course.
Profi les of the top 20 in contention will be featured in Friday’s News Leader Pictorial. In the meantime, we present others who garnered consideration.

The second part of our Youth Athlete of the Year pro les takes us from No. 46 to 75.
46. Prestlee Cooper — Makes a national championship tournament appearance with the Victoria Devils fastball team in Winnipeg.
47. Sydney Hamm — Shawnigan Lake School senior girls’ eld hockey team goalkeeper provides a solid last line of defence.

49. Gobind Sall — Grade 12 student at Cowichan Secondary School played for the high performance Co-wichan Valley Midget Mustangs baseball team the past couple of years and was a part of Team B.C.
50. Jarod Dorby — Developing into a very sound player for the Cowichan Thunderbirds’ senior boys’ AAA basketball team. Better coordination with his maturity as a player is bad news for the opposition and he’s been known to tower over the rim to dunk the ball.

Colton Lidstone
Colton Lidstone isn’t partial to either field or box lacrosse. “I like
them for different things,’’ he said. Lidstone, 12, of Shawnigan Lake
plays for the Under 12 Mid-Island Lightning in field lacrosse and the
Cowichan Valley peewee Thunder in box lacrosse last season. He’s also
been picked to join the Seasprays select team heading to San Diego on
Jan. 4. “There’s quite a few (players) from Victoria, a few from here, a
few from Campbell River and Parksville,’’ said Lidstone of the team’s
composition. He usually plays middie in the field game but sometimes
moves up to attack as coach Dan Cleemoff rotates positions. “He brings
heart, determination, always a digger,’’ said Cleemoff of Lidstone. “He
never gives up — a good team player, very coachable.’’Don Bodger
