KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Malahat First Nation and Vancouver-based Steelhead LNG have entered into a partnership to develop a liquefied natural gas facility — to be known as Mala-hat LNG — at the former Bam-berton site south of Mill Bay.

Representatives of the Mala-hat and Steelhead made the announcement on Thursday that they had entered into a mutual benefits agreement and a long-term lease.

“We are honoured to be here today to celebrate our agree-ments with the Malahat Nation,”

Steelhead CEO Nigel Kuzem-ko said. “As a B.C.-based LNG development company, we are committed to early engagement with First Nations and get-ting things right. That is why our first step over the past 13 months was to develop a close working relationship with the Malahat Nation based on trust and respect.”

The proposed facility would have an expected capacity of up to six-million tonnes per year, and would include floating lique-faction facilities moored to the shoreline and minor supporting land-based infrastructure.

Between construction, operation and decommissioning, it could provide up to 30 years of revenue generation for local, provincial and federal governments, as well as up to 200 long-term positions, as well as training and employ-ment opportunities for members of the Malahat First Nation and other Island residents.

“As a Nation committed to improving the quality of life for our people, we are excited about this opportunity with Steelhead LNG,” acting Malahat Chief Tommy Harry said.

Foul play is now suspected in the disappearance of a young woman from Penelakut Island.

The Vancouver Island Inte-grated Major Crime Unit, Island District Tactical Team, RCMP Air Services, Search and Res-cue teams and the community have been searching for Delores Brown since she was reported missing on July 29, 2015.

“The whereabouts of Delores Brown remains unknown and the search continues,” Island District RCMP spokesman Cpl. Darren Lagan said Aug. 19.“Brown has never gone missing before; which raised the concern of family, friends and police. Her uncharacteristic disappearance and details of the investigation have led investigators to believe the disappearance of Delores

Brown is as a result of foul play,” The Vancouver Island Integrat-

ed Major Crime Unit are continu-ing the search for Brown and circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

“Police have made no arrests in connection to this investigation and do not believe there is a risk to the public at this time,” Lagan said.

Brown is described as a First Nations woman, 19 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weigh-ing approximately 120 pounds.

She was last seen walking on the Penelakut Island on Monday, July 27.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen Delores since that date or who has information on her disappearance, to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“In 2015, our Nation developed a Compre-hensive Development Plan that reflects our people’s needs and their vision of how we want to develop our Nation. We recognized that to achieve that vision, we needed to look beyond our Nation to develop new business relationships and economic opportunities.

“Since then, we have made significant progress, and this proposed LNG pro-ject with Steelhead represents another step forward in that direction. It is also an indication that our Nation is open for business and that we welcome the chance to explore opportunities with those who respect our lands, social and cultural val-ues, and who are prepared to work with us in a truly strategic manner.”

The 525-hectare Bamberton site was pur-chased by the Malahat First Nation last month, tripling the size of their territory.

In April, Steelhead and the Huu-ay-aht First Nations announced a $30-billion LNG project in the Alberni Inlet. In 2014, the company applied for five licences to export up to 30 million tonnes of LNG per year over 25 years. Four of the licences will be allocated to the Huu-ay-aht pro-ject, and the remaining one will be allo-cated to the Malahat facility.

Malahat/Mill Bay CVRD Area Director and former provincial Green Party candi-date Kerry Davis was eager to learn more about the project.

“It’s a lot to process in such a short time,” he said. “There are certainly many details that need to be worked out. There are an enormous number of questions.”

There is still a lengthy process to go through before it becomes a reality.

“The CVRD is still looking at what the implications might be,” Davis pointed out. “But it’s still very early stages, so it’s hard to say exactly what will happen. I’ll absolutely be watching with interest. I’ve already had quite a bit of feedback from local citizens.”

CVRD chair Jon Lefebure was also interested to hear more about the deal, but expressed support for the Malahat’s

economic development efforts.“I think we have to be aware that indi-

vidual bands are trying to create employ-ment for their people, and we have to be considerate of that when we are think-ing and talking about development,” he said. “I’m generally supportive of First Nations’ efforts to create economic development in their communities.”

Lefebure has personal concerns about how lucrative LNG will actually be.

“I’m personally leery about the promises of LNG. I’m suspicious because what I hear is that they’re creating LNG projects right across the world. The idea that we could get a lock on it and get an incredible advantages from it is a dream. It’s a highly competitive business. I think it’s going to drive the price of gas down, and there will be a lot less profit in it than they say.”

The Malahat First Nation is currently without a governing body. Chief David Michael Harry resigned from the pos-ition last week amid allegations that he had been receiving payments from the operators of a controversial contamin-ated-soil-dumping operation at Shawni-gan Lake. The former chief’s uncle, band councillor Tommy Harry, took over as interim chief, only to resign days later, along with the other two remaining coun-cillors, in order to force a new election on Nov. 2. Elections were originally sched-uled to take place in January.

Catalyst Paper has reduced the flow of the Cowichan River to 4.7 cubic metres per second, down from about 5.5 previously.

Catalyst Crofton environment manager Brian Houle said the summertime step-downs have become the new norm.

“We’re to the same flow we were at last year at this time. As long as we con-tinue to get an annual drought we’ll be in this situation of annual reductions,” Houle said. “It’s kind of a function of the weather.”

The goal is to keep more water in Cowic-han Lake for the fall.

“We are pulling out water at a lower rate to let it last longer,” Houle explained, not-ing a river flow of 4.5 cubic metres per second can be sustained longer than the previous 5.5 cubic metres per second and the seven cubic metres per second before that.

According to Cowichan Watershed Board coordinator Rodger Hunter the flow is technically now at 4.7 cubic metres per second.

“Now they’ve gone back up a little bit because it’s tricky at 4.5 to maintain the 2.83 cubic metres per second below the Catalyst intake that’s required. If the flow is 4.7 when they take their water it assures that 2.83 cubic metres per second is left, which is what is required under their licence,” Hunter said.

Catalyst’s licence says the company is supposed to keep the flow at seven cubic metres per second flow in the river through the summer but climate change has changed the reality of that happening.

“There was no appreciable snow in the mountains this past winter, we had a dry spring and we began this summer well below the top of the weir and so in order to ensure that there’s water for fish and that Catalyst can operate,” the flow need-ed to be reduced, Hunter said.

“Everybody wants there to be water in the fall for the salmon to migrate. It’s a no brainer. And Catalyst wants water in the fall so they can continue to operate. So the goals are aligned.”

The big thing for the future, Hunter said, is somebody needs to take out a licence to increase the storage in the lake.

Whoever has a “dog in the fight” could apply, he noted.

“That needs to happen. Somebody needs to take out the licence and the weir needs to be raised.”

The province, the federal government, local government and Catalyst all have reason to apply.

“All those entities could have an interest in taking on a licence,” he said. “Someone needs to step forward and do it.

It’s not that easy, however, as in the past some residents have opposed the idea of more water in the lake as it could lead to property loss.

Smoky skies over Cowichan Wednesday night had many calling local authorities convinced a fire must be nearby. There wasn’t. Smoke from the Lizard Lake fire was being pushed over from the west and settling, uncomfortably, into the valley.

The Ministry of Environment, in collab-oration with Island Health issued a Smoky Skies Advisory Thursday morning for the Lake Cowichan, Duncan, Crofton, Cobble Hill, Shawnigan Lake and Mill Bay areas, which seem most impacted by the smoke.

A smoke advisory doesn’t necessarily mean poor air quality, though, this time it seems to. The Air Quality Health Index for Duncan was at a six as of 8 a.m. Thursday. That means a moderate health risk and folks were to consider reducing or resched-uling any scheduled strenuous activities. The air quality is expected to fluctuate as the smoke continues to move through the area.

“For the majority of days, given the location of the fire, the smoke is going to get pushed into the valley,” Island Health medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback said.

Those most at risk to increased smoke concentrations are infants, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease.

Hasselback said raspy coughs, irritated eyes and sore throats are common symp-toms for everyone regardless of their health history.

“When people visibly see the air quality is worse they begin to change their behav-iour,” Hasselback said. “When you visibly

see it or smell it that triggers a believe that it might affect your air quality and people tend to slow down, not go outdoors are much. They tend to do some things that they might just think is the right thing to do, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Those experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort, and sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways should consult their health care provider.

The Lizard Lake fire now covers an estimated 325 hectares and is 20 per cent contained.

“The fire did grow and the wind shifted,” Coastal Fire Centre fire information offi-cer Ellie Dupont said Thursday afternoon. “This fire has more resources on it than any other in [the Coastal] Fire Centre. It’s just because it’s so challenging.”

A crew of 157 firefighters, eight helicop-ters and six pieces of heavy equipment are on scene and are commanded by a 16-per-son incident management team.

The fire was discovered Aug. 12.Hasselback said future smoke advisories

are partially dependent on the Lizard Lake fire behaving itself, rather, acting in such a way that accurate predictions could be made.

What happened Wednesday night, how-ever, was the fire misbehaving.

“The fire expanded under wind condi-tions and started burning into new areas so we had a whole bunch of new smoke being generated, hence, we kind of knew the right direction, I don’t think we had a good forecast of the volume of smoke.”

Expect periodically smoky skies and poor air quality to continue as long at the Liz-ard Lake fire burns.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation will provide more than $8,600 to help a huge Pacific salmon pro-ject in Lake Cowichan.

The total value of the project including volunteer time and community fundraising is over $270,000.

The foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports habi-tat stewardship, Pacific salmon enhancement and watershed education, and is funded primar-ily from sales of the federal gov-ernment’s Salmon Conservation Stamp.

The project is run by Cowichan Tribes as part of their Cowichan Chinook Early Run Abundance Assessment project.

Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Dr. Brian Riddell is delighted with the announcement.

“We are pleased to support this project because it will measure the genetic fitness of naturally and hatchery-produced Chinook salmon, the results of which will help inform fisheries manage-ment in the Strait of Georgia.”

The CSP supports community groups, volunteers and First Nations across the province.

All give countless hours each year to monitor watersheds, develop and implement habi-tat rehabilitation projects, and educate communities about the conservation and protection of salmon.

The majority of funds for the CSP were generated through sales of the federal Salmon Con-servation Stamp.

The stamp must be purchased

annually by anglers if they wish to keep Pacific salmon caught in saltwater off Canada’s West Coast. Currently all proceeds from the $6 dollar stamp are returned to British Columbia through the Foundation, gener-ating about $1 million for com-munity grants annually.

In addition to funds generated from the sales of the federal sal-mon stamp, the grants are made possible by fundraising dinners, auctions and donations from individuals, other foundations and businesses.

“The Community Salmon Pro-gram captures the essence of what we are trying to do at the foundation,” Riddell said. “Gov-ernment, business, First Nations and volunteers all working together: that is the best way to ensure the future of wild Pacific salmon.”

Efforts to help the Valley’s hard-pressed fish population are continuing as the drought goes on and on.

Members of the Cowichan Lake and River Stewardship Society were out again Aug. 18 as part of their Fry Rescue Tuesday pro-gram, moving 8,000 to 10,000 fish from drying pools in the Robert-son River.

“It’s really more like the Rob-ertson linear gravel pit these days,” the workers posted on the

group’s Facebook page.The fish were released into

Bear Lake after they had time to acclimatize to the warmer water there.

“We got about 40 chinook fry and DNA sampled many of them. We now have over 100 DNA chinook samples from the Rob-ertson, Ashburnam and Sutton Creeks. We will be ending the DNA sampling now as we have plenty to work with. Testing will be done soon and we are looking forward to the results. We have lots to learn about our local chi-

nooks,” they said.Parker Jefferson and Bob Cran-

dall gave a presentation on this year’s fry monitoring and res-cue operations at the Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable meet-ing on Thursday morning.

Even as far back as May, the problem with fish habitat had emerged.

“We knew what to expect but it was still shocking to see it. The south side tributaries are noth-ing but huge piles of gravel with a few disconnected pools full of fish,” they posted May 28.

The musicians and performers were beyond excellent, each and everyone of them coming from near and far. There was certainly something for every age group.

Longevity John Falkner is a remarkable individual whom has truly fulfilled his dream making it all come to life for each of us to enjoy.

Tim Flannegan the amaz-ing wonderful sound man goes above and beyond his capabilities.

There aren’t enough words to describe how much these two great individuals mean to us.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication for which doesn’t go unnoticed.

Fortunate to have our volunteer fi refi ghters

Our property is adjacent to the Duncan Meadows Golf Course and we would like to say a big Thank you to the volunteer fire departments and especially to Mr. Coleman for reassuring us and getting the fire under con-trol when it spread down to our fence line.

We are very fortunate in this municipality to have such good volunteers.

Find more suitable locations for your signs

This is an open letter to the people who are desecrating some of the beauty spots in our little town of Chemainus.

I am speaking to those elec-toral candidates who have the unmitigated gall to plant their ugly signs in our beautiful flower beds, specifically at the Henry Road traffic circle.

I want you to know that, as a volunteer who has put my heart and hands and back into helping create these works of art over many, many months by planting and fertilizing and weeding, and dead heading and planting again and weeding again and again on hands and knees, I have been

more than dismayed to watch in one day the blooms that have been cultivated, be hidden and ruined by these ugly signs.

How dare you so thoughtless-ly run roughshod over such labours of love.

If you must, put your signs in areas that are overgrown or unkempt, or better yet in the municipal dump where they truly belong.

Family left wondering why solar light stolen

In the past week of Aug. 15 our family was disgusted that a fabric rose solar light was stolen from a family grave at Mountain View Cemetery on Drinkwater Road.

It had been placed there in April by family from Ontario. Two other solar lights had dam-age to them.

What would make you steal from a grave? Did you really need this solar light that badly??

Did you realize that this was stolen from our niece’s grade? Do the right thing and return it.

The project is five years late, incomplete, riddled with deficiencies, and much of

the technology may already be out dated.”

It is thus that the Panorama Public Health System was described recently by British Columbia’s auditor general, Carol Bellringer.

Panorama is an IT system bought and paid for by the prov-incial government (to the tune of at least $115 million) after the SARS outbreak in early 2003. It was supposed to “improve management of communicable disease outbreaks and immuniz-ation programs across the coun-

try.” It’s a laudable goal and we can see that it is important to be able to properly track disease outbreaks and who has been immunized and who hasn’t.

Other provinces, including Ontario and Quebec did also implement the same system.

But just because everyone’s doing it doesn’t mean anyone got a good deal.

“Panorama has been impact-ed by defects from the start,” Bellringer reported. “It is ineffi-cient to use, burdensome to public health staff, and requires ongoing financial support.”

Apparently we continue to spend about $14 million a year

on this turkey.But anybody can get a bad

deal, right? Software is buggy and they don’t necessarily get it right the first time.

In this case, however, when things started to go wrong, prob-lems were compounded, leaving taxpayers worse off than ever.

“Of particular concern, is not only a failure to control costs, but decisions that unnecessarily increased costs,” said Bellringer. “When IBM could not deliver on the original contract terms, we saw no evidence that the min-istry considered other options such as contract termination or alternate systems.

Instead, the Ministry of Health renegotiated with IBM in a way that transferred financial risk from IBM to taxpayers.”

That last is enough to make the blood boil.

To its credit, the Ministry of Health has acknowledged some of the issues in the auditor’s report and says it is taking steps to make corrections.

But it does argue that Pan-orama is better than what they used to have, as if that is some kind of high praise.

It reminds us forcefully of the expensive, obsolete nightmare that was the BCeSIS system that our schools were forced to

adopt. It cost the district $1 mil-lion, never worked right, then was discontinued.

We’re concerned that a big $14 million a year is still going to try to make Panorama work well for us.

Given the history of the pro-ject, that’s not comforting.

But we did have to love this bit of bureaucratic bafflegab at its best from the Ministry of Health press release: “We also recog-nize the need for a collaborative leadership approach for large IT projects.”

Hopefully they’ll actually come up with something more mean-ingful in terms of action.

Regional District useless when it comes to providing most basic information

After reading multiple letters regarding the dump-ing of contaminated soil I noted that all the letters seemed to be from Shawnigan residents. In order to insure this wasn’t NIMBY I visited the site and sur-rounding area.

All was going well until I visited the CVRD office. I wanted to see a typical map of the area. The CVRD did not have one.

How could they make any kind of assessment of the possible problems that might arise without this document?

I was led to believe that most of the material was coming from the Capital Regional District so I ask why, if this is so safe, they do not dump it in their own watershed? I ask why do we have the expensive CVRD if they cannot stop this?

Maybe we should get rid of it (CVRD) and use the money saved to legally stop this imposition.

Jennie Stevens asks “What use is the Ministry of Environment?” It would seem to me that it is as use-ful as the Utilities Commission who, with regards to the ticking time bomb spy meters, has decided that it is much harder to take a picture of an analog meter as opposed to a digital one.

Or is it that it is so much more difficult to interpret that they have hired a bunch of fifth graders? I apolo-gize to fifth graders.

Harper trying to scare us into voting for him

Stephen Harper is trying to win votes by scaring us.

You are more likely to be killed in Canada by moose than a ter-rorist and more likely to die from not eating right than by moose.

Oh! By that I would classify Harper a terrorist as defined by my Oxford Dictionary (trying to

control or win government power by fear). Mohammad Ali said, Islam is peace and a real Muslim will not carry a weapon or kill someone.”You cannot fight ideol-ogy, miscued or not, with guns you can only fight ideology with ideology.” That is the mistake people have been making since our time began.

Nine new sites have been added to the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s Com-munity Heritage Register.

The Register was created in 2009 and is the official record of sites within the CVRD’s borders deemed important to the region’s heritage. The new additions join eight others to bring the Register to 17 sites in total.

“I feel that the Heritage Register is important for our communities,” said CVRD board vice chair Lori Iannidinardo, the director for Area D (Cowichan Bay). “It shows where we have come, what we have done and celebrates our region. Addi-tionally, it shows all the contributions that have been made.”

A trio of west Cowichan halls has made the cut: The Honeymoon Bay, Mesachie Lake and Youbou Community halls have been recognized for their long-term social and recreational contributions to their respective communities. So too have Old Mill Park and Memorial Park, both CVRD community parks.

Old Mill Park (on Recreation Road in Shawnigan Lake), was the mill site of Shawnigan Lake Lumber Company from 1881 to 1945. Three mills were eventually built there as fire claimed the first two.

Memorial Park (in the Cobble Hill vil-lage) is the site of the Cobble Hill ceno-taph, first unveiled in February of 1920 by Premier John Oliver to commemorate those lost in World War I.

“Growing up in this Valley I would hear all the stories. I remember the people and places of the past,” Iannidinardo said.

“One that comes to mind is the Shear-ing family tree. The connection is to my Grade 7 teacher Helen Gosnell in the old Mill Bay School. Our son also registered the tree with a picture of nine of us link-ing our arms around it.”

The Shearing Tree, a thousands-of-years-old Douglas Fir that was left standing by William Shearing when he cleared his Cob-ble Hill farmland in the early 1860, is now on the Register.

The Sahtlam Fire Hall has been placed on the Community Heritage Register for its cultural and social contributions to the community of Sahtlam.

The Kingzett Lake Lime Kiln and Cer-amic Well, formally protected by Herit-age Designation Bylaw in 1977, have also been added to the Community Heritage Register.

The Carlton Stone House, a private resi-dence, was nominated by its owner and placed on the Register for its architectural and historic values. Built in 1915, the Mil-ler Road home was originally constructed for Carlton Stone, who arrived on the Island from England in 1910. He went on to become a major player in the logging industry and sold the home in 1926.

“We have so much to recognize and our local government has a done a wonderful job recording this,” Iannidinardo said.

The Register is far from complete. Com-munity and Regional Planning staff plan to continue identifying and documenting the Cowichan Valley’s significant heritage sites as a long-term project.

Drug shortages and price changes may necessitate a change in brand of your medication. Most of the time this isn’t a problem but if it’s a thyroid or warfarin brand change, it is good to get a blood test a

short while after the change to ensure the new brand is doing the job as well as the old.

Since the human papilloma vaccine was introduced back in 2006, there has been a 56% decrease of HPV infections in girls aged 14-19. Side effects of the vaccine are rare (1-10 cases in a million doses given) and the vaccine does not encourage early sexual activity. It’s recommended for girls starting at the age of 9 and is a protection against cervical cancer in the future.

It’s quite evident when looking at the statistics on tobacco and alcohol use why Russia leads the world in cardiovascular disease. Russians are the biggest users of tobacco products and their alcohol consumption is also high which places the country near the top in the number of cancer deaths per year as well.

E-cigarettes are still unregulated products. There are no standards as to how much nicotine or other ingredients they contain. The United Kingdom is one of the first countries that will legislate these products starting in 2016. Proponents of the product say they are safer than smoking tobacco but they still contain nicotine, an addictive substance that increases blood pressure and heart rate. If you still smoke and want to quit, we can help.

Tzouhalem Road near the 7-Eleven is the busiest street in North Cowichan.

The municipality’s public works committee had a chance to look at the 2014 traffic count recently and while not too much stood out as unusual, the volume of vehicles headed to and from the Maple Bay area was noticed.

“There’s a lot of traffic out there and it’s not about the commercial interests out that way because there are none. It’s all residential,” said public works committee chair Coun. Al Siebring on Wednesday.

He noted some longer-term plans are in the works to even-tually develop a new subdiv-ision on the clearcut lands once earmarked for the failed Cliffs Over Maple Bay development and once that happens, even more vehicles will be on the roads in that area.

“I think that might be where our focus needs to be for our long term planning as far as

traffic goes,” he said. The roundabout linking Tzou-

halem and Maple Bay Roads is the third busiest spot in North Cowichan while Maple Bay Road at Mackenzie ranked 20th and Kingsview Road at Maple Bay was 29th.

Closer to the core, Beverly Street at Duncan Street and Beverly east of Heather rank fourth and fifth respectively. Sherman Road at Lane ranks sixth.

Tracking lines were placed on the roadways at specific loca-tions throughout the municip-ality and as a result, multiple sections of the same road can appear on the top-30 list.

Three streets in Chemainus

made the list: Chemainus Road north of River Road ranks eighth, Henry Road at Juniper is 11th, and Chemainus Road at Dogwood is 28th.

“Given how many roads there are in Chemainus and in the overall municipality, I think it’s not an unreasonable ratio,” Siebring said. “I don’t see any huge trend there that says it’s because of big popu-lation growth in Chemainus or anything.”

Rounding out the top 10 are Cowichan Lake Road at Skin-ner at No. 2, Drinkwater Road east of Norcross at No. 7, Cowic-han Lake Road at Marsh at No. 9 and Gibbins Road at Kinch at No. 10.

With Rock of the Woods 2015 now in the books, promoter Dave Bain is already planning for next year.

The process that led to this year’s event — the fifth time Rock of the Woods has been held in the Cowichan Valley — was an onerous one that left organizers with precious little time to put the festival together. Regardless, it still went over well with the crowd and with other stakehold-ers. Bain says there were no noise complaints from neighbours this year, and that other interested organizations only had positive things to say.

“We’ve had rave reviews from the CVRD, RCMP, the fire depart-ment,” Bain said. “It was great to see the volunteer fire depart-ment, the RCMP, the bylaw officer really take ownership of the fes-tival and support it by helping us make sure we were successful in our mandates.”

Although some naysayers were concerned about safety at the location in Sahtlam alongside the Cowichan River, the lone medical emergency at the four-day event in late July was a bee sting.

As he did last year, Bain offered free tickets to people who live near the festival site, and more than 30 took up the opportunity.

“They all loved it,” Bain said.M a ny f e s t iva l a t t e n d e e s

remarked that it was also the best year for musical talent, with performers ranging from well-known Canadian groups like Gob and The Dudes to up-and-coming American acts like SISTERS and Motopony to a host of Vancouver Island bands.

In most cases, the performers enjoyed the event as much as the audience, and could frequently be spotted in the crowd, taking in the other acts.

“All the bands had a good time,” Bain said. “I’ve had emails from at least 12 of the bands, and a lot of them weren’t expecting what they got in terms of recepetion.”

When all was said and done, cleaning up the site was easy, thanks to the festival-goers tak-

ing it upon themselves to keep tidy.

“Teardown took no time at all,” Bain said. “Everyone cleaned up after themselves.”

Bain has often talked about how Rock of the Woods is about building a community, and the way everyone at the festival acted was proof that the community is coming together.

“I can’t say enough about about the volunteers, the patrons, the staff,” he said. “Everyone does it for the festival. They’re there for a greater good, and that was real-ly evident this year.”

Among those who checked out the festival for the first time this year was CVRD Shawnigan Lake area director Sonia Furstenau,

who took her family to the event for one evening.

“It seemed very well-run,” she said. “It seemed organized. I was surprised to see lots of other fam-ilies with young kids.”

Furstenau said she is “a bit sensitive to noise” and felt it was loud in the stage area, but found that wasn’t the case once she got away from the natural amphithe-atre where the music is played.

“When we got up the hill, we couldn’t really hear anything,” she said.

Furstenau isn’t sure she would go back to the festival, but not because of her own experience there.

“I’m probably more folk than rock, but I would recommend it

for other people,” she said. “It seemed to have a nice vibe.”

CVRD chair and North Cow-ichan Mayor Jon Lefebure also attended an evening of the fes-tival, and was pleased with what he saw,

“I was certainly impressed with the security,” he said. “I showed up neat and tidy, and they still checked out my car and opened the trunk.”

Lefebure also liked the setup of the festival grounds and the fire-prevention plans.

“There were some fire concens expressed [prior to the festival], but the site is fairly green, pretty damp, so even though the rest of the area is pretty dried out, it is less susceptible.”

Bain has long wanted to have a bursary program for Valley high school students who want to study the arts. That program was almost in place this year, but wasn’t feasible when it took so long to get the permits the fes-tival required. He is determined to make it happen next year.

That’s not the only improve-ment he would like to make for next year, but it all hinges on get-ting approval for the 2016 festival as soon as possible.

“The faster the permit goes through, the more infrastructure we can add and the more changes we can make to the site to make sure everyone feels their con-cerns are addressed,” he said.

Get the family together for the 106th Cobble Hill Fair at the his-toric fairgrounds this Saturday.

This hallmark event, begun in 1909, showcases all that is great about living in the South Cowic-han district.

Cobble Hill and the surrounding area was founded on the agri-cultural industry and the area’s rural nature and relaxed lifestyle.

Every fair is alive with activity and entertainment for the whole family, celebrating the past while cultivating the future.

This year, the Lieut. Gov. Judith Guichon will attend the fair, par-ticipate in the parade, officially open the event and then dedicate a new barn.

Guichon is an appropriate guest. Before she became lieute-nat governor of B.C.,Guichon owned and operated a ranch in the Nicola Valley, where the family has ranched since 1878. She has also studied holistic management, which promotes sustainable management of live-stock: an idea she introduced to B.C. ranchers.

Guichon has also served her community on a number of fronts, as well as providing leadership to her area’s 4-H club.

“One really big thing at this year’s fair is that at 11 a.m., after opening the fair, the lieutenant governor will be dedicating a

new barn that’s been donated to the Farmers Institute by a very generous Vancouver Island family,” fair spokeperson Gerry Giles said. “That is really some-thing spectacular and we really think that will set the tone for the whole day.”

Giles, among many others, is excited to meet Guichon.

“I’ve never personally met her so I’m really looking forward to it,” she said. “I’ve heard so many terrific things about her and the way she has of meeting and greeting people. It’ll be a great experience, I know.”

The new barn Guichon will be dedicating is a special project.

“We were very fortunate in that George Baird knew a person and we were in the right place at the right time. We wrote out a pro-posal for a new barn. The money was part of a legacy to remember a person on Vancouver Island and we submitted that proposal and we were successful. It’s now completely finished. It’s a huge project. The new barn is 100 feet by 32 feet with an overhang that allows us to tie up cattle outside of the barn; it also has a cement floor. It’s going to be a really wel-come addition, a big venue that is able to be rented out for a variety of different things..”

The facility will really add to the year-round usefulness of the fairgrounds, Giles said.

“Evergreen Independent School

is looking at renting that facility for their gymnasium. We’ve had a number of inquiries, too. And that’s where we held this past weekend’s very successful Cops for Cancer event.”

Cobble Hill Fair president Dave Bilkoski is expecting amazing things at this year’s Fair.

“We were fortunate to have received a $100,000 Community Works Fund grant to upgrade the infrastructure of our 94-year-old community hall,” he said

Being considered for improve-ments are: a new hot water on demand system, new furnace, updated electrical system, nat-ural gas installation and a new commercial stove for the kitchen.

“We will finish off by painting the interior of the hall giving it a much needed face lift,” Bilkoski said.

The Cobble Hill Farmers Insti-tute was incorporated on Nov. 3, 1914. The the organization is now approaching its one hundred and first year of operation and it’s been an interesting journey.

“As an organization we are very proud to carry on with the rich legacy the early pioneers left to our community. On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to extend our appreciation to all of our hard working volun-teers for their tireless dedication year-round.

Bilkoski thanked the fair’s many sponsors, including 4-H, the South Cowichan Rotary, the Malahat Lions and the Women’s Institute.

“Our fair is unique,” co-chair George Baird said. “Although we don’t have the hustle and bustle of a midway, we do provide a var-iety of quality entertainment for the children who attend the fair. Since 1909, our fair has focused on our agricultural roots. At our fair, you can see the animals, the produce, the baking, the handi-crafts and so much more.

“Having been a member of 4-H as a boy, I can attest to the fact there is no group of individuals more committed to our commun-ity than those who belong to the Farmers Institute at Cobble Hill

and those who work year round to stage our fair.”

Baird also thanked the mem-bers of the fair committee and “all of the volunteers who help to ensure your day at the Fair is enjoyable.”

The Cobble Hill Fair is indeed a beloved institution for many Cowichan residents: a superb way to bid farewell to summer while celebrating everything we’ve all enjoyed during the past year.

Everything kicks off with a pan-cake breakfast starting at 7 a.m. and then, at 8:30 a.m. the horse show begins and then it’s time for the parade.

At 9:30 a.m., the colourful caval-cade, led by Lt. Gov. Guichon, sets off, going around the Cobble Hill fairgrounds, ending up by entering the grounds themselves

and escorting the honoured guests to the stage for the official opening of the fair, which takes place at 10 a.m.

The exhibits in the Cobble Hill Hall open at 10 a.m., too, while outdoors at 10:30 a.m., it’s time for the miniature horse show.

The Women’s Institute’s annual tea starts at 11:30 a.m. in the hall, and the human scarecrow contest is scheduled for noon.

Open to all ages, the human scarecrow contest offers the brave a chance to win $30 for first place, $20 for second and $10 for third but competitors will have to either dance their best “boneless” dance or show how still they they can stand.

Outdoor exhibits include live-stock shows, plus children’s games, a blacksmithing demon-stration, the hay bale toss, the

Living

ANOTHER YEAR, From Page 12

vintage machinery, historical and educational displays, the 4-H shows, sheepdog display and way more.

On stage, outdoors, behind the hall, there’s plenty of entertain-ment, too.

Entry to the fairgrounds is $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and juniors (12 to 16 years). Kids under 12 and 4-H members get in free.

The fair begins with a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m.

New at the corner of Station Street and Canada Avenue is an interesting and eclectic selection of antiques and collectibles, aptly named Soulful Memories. Dallis MacRae & Bernie Kramski have travelled the world in search of handmade carpets, Moroccan lanterns and belly dance costumes and accessories. Added to an extensive collection of comic books, sports cards and vinyl records there is enough at Soulful Memories to keep one browsing for hours. Dallis and Bernie invite you to “sit a while and listen to some music or select a book from our shelves and sit in a comfortable chair to peruse…”

He may not share top honours with St. Mark the evangelist but Mark

Bate comes about as close to sainthood as mortals get — a man universally esteemed.

How respected was he? In May 1878, Nanaimo voters subscribed to the purchase of a gold watch and chain, a silver coffee and tea service, epergne and tray, and a testimo-nial of appreciation for “...Your star-tling worth as a gentleman, both in your business and private life as evinced by your sound judgment; far reaching sagacity; earnest industry; tenacity of purpose; integrity and firmness in action; and withal your imperturbable urbanity and courtesy in the performance of your duty in every walk and relation of

your life.”Not quite an MP’s pension

but praise of the highest order and such as bestowed upon few public officers.

Elected as the Bastion City’s first mayor in 1875 (when Nanaimo had all of 1,500 citizens), Bate served 16

terms—11 of them by acclama-tion—over a quarter of a cen-tury. Three times he retired, only to be persuaded to serve again. Surely his electoral record is unique in provincial history.

Chronicles: Nanaimo Mayor Mark Bate was one of a kindSAINTLY: There was even the suggestion of a senatorship but that would have meant his having to leave Nanaimo so he declined.

See NANAIMO, Page 20

T.W. PatersonCHRONICLES

Nanaimo’s first mayor, Mark Bate, was universally respected by the electorate. [SUBMITTED]

See dealer for details.

Limited supply.

Bate could remember when ‘Colvilletown’ was just a “mining hamlet of some 45 build-ings [and] the Indian camps;” when the “main part—nearly the whole—of Nanaimo was com-posed of the Bastion and a white-washed row of houses standing on a rising eminence a little way from the waterfront—the grassy slope between the buildings and the harbour looking as fresh as spring...”

Bate had a way with words, too, as evidenced by his speeches and published reminiscences of earlyday Nanaimo.

His introduction to Vancouver Island occurred on Jan. 18, 1857, with his arrival at Fort Victo-ria aboard the vessel Princess Royal. Late of Birmingham, Eng., he was 19 years old and, with his cousin and uncle, in the employ of the Hudson’s Bay Co., who posted him to Nanaimo. There he served as clerk, accountant and chief cashier (originally under his uncle, George Rob-inson) until 1869 when his employers sold their coal mining operations to the Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Co. Bate was part of the deal, as manager, a post he held for 15 years.

He’d found time to marry Sarah Anne Cart-wright of Worcestershire and begin a family of eight sons and daughters, be elected as mayor and the city’s first justice of the peace. As well as first chairman of the Board of Education, Library Institute and Hospital Board commit-teeman, and government agent. Not to mention his memberships with the Masons, Oddfellows, Foresters, etc.

There was the suggestion of a senatorship, too, but that would have meant his having to leave Nanaimo so he declined.

He’d also tried his hand at publishing, having established with three friends (one of them up-and-coming coal baron Robert Dunsmuir) the Nanaimo Gazette, on Bastion Street. It failed in only six months, all partners losing their investments—a novel experience for Bate and Dunsmuir. Half a century after, Bate returned to journalism with a fascinating, well-written series of reminiscences in The Daily Herald. That newspaper is gone, too, but Bate’s eloquent word-pictures of a young Nanaimo are, fortunately, a matter of record.

In 1925, Mark Bate was 90 years old. That year, City Hall honoured him with the unveiling of a commissioned portrait by artist George L. Southwell. In his acceptance speech Bate said he’d been lured to B.C. by his uncle’s letters about the Fraser River gold rush. As it hap-pened, the closest he came to mining was work-ing in his office, later as manager of a coal min-ing company in “the City of Black Diamonds”.

He highlighted some of the changes which had occurred over the past 71 years, all but lick-ing his lips at his favourite memory: “And then the ham was real ham, so different from the kind...on the market today.”

He died two years later while visiting family and friends in England. His body was returned to his adopted Nanaimo for a civic funeral and interment.

Thus it should come as no surprise—indeed, it’s only fitting—that Nanaimo maps show Bate Point and Mark Bay, the southern tip and recess of Newcastle Island. Qualicum area has 3100-foot-high Mount Mark, overlooking Horne Lake, which was named for him by his friend and brother-in-law, HBC trader Adam Grant Horne.

Editor’s note: If you haven’t met “Flo” yet, this superhero is visiting Cowichan communities this summer, helping us face down a severe drought and water restrictions. Cowichan Watershed Board summer student Lauren Frost reports in weekly as Flo visits local watershed heroes to learn more about their work (and snap a selfie)!

LAUREN FROST GUEST COLUMNIST

Name: Adrian Southern Occupation: Owner/Founder, Rain-coast Aquaponics

Why Flo likes him/her: Water Conserv-ation Hero

Flo: Hi Adrian. Let’s start with how long you have lived in Cowichan Region.

Adrian: I grew up in Cowichan Bay, and recently moved back here from Nanaimo.

Flo: You stand out as a friend of the watershed because of the efforts you make to save water. Thank you for that! What inspired you to start an aquaponic farm?

Adrian: My hatred of weeding.Flo: Tell us more about what you do and

how it helps conserve Cowichan water. Adrian: Our aquaponic farm is based on

an ancient technique of rotating fish and vegetable crops, combining AQUAculture and hydroPONICS. The fish are grown in culture tanks which are connected to a

hydroponic vegetable growing system. The waste water leaving the fish tanks

is circulated through the hydroponic system, where a variety of bacteria work on neutralizing the fish wastes by con-verting them into minerals and plant nutrients.

The plants in the hydroponic system then absorb the nutrients, effective-ly cleaning the water, which is then recycled back into the fish tanks.

Raincoast Aquaponics holds around 50,000 liters in the system, but only ‘consumes’ about 200 liters per day. This is to replace water lost to evaporation and cleaning filters. With this amount of water, Raincoast has the capacity to produce a maximum of about 1000 kilograms of rainbow trout, and 60,000 heads of lettuce every year. The reason we use so little water is because we never ever dump our used water and replace it with fresh water, which is typical of hydroponic systems and of land-based fish farms.

In addition to this, we capture all of our wastewater and use it to water field crops beside the greenhouse. This is exactly the same as grey-water capture in a resi-dential household.

Flo: Wow! That is amazing. You grow so much food on far less than one local household’s average daily water use. What an inspiration! If you could ask every Cowichan region resident to do one

Water Hero Chronicles with Flo

thing for our watershed, what would it be?

Adrian: Let’s stop wasting grey-water. Most Cowichan Valley resident use over 300 liters per day, excluding Ladysmith

and Crofton where the average is closer to 250 liters per day… can you imagine how much of that wasted water could be captured as grey-water, and used to flush toilets and water gardens?

Too soon gone, but dearly missed.Love you always and think of you daily.

Mom and Dad

White, Rose Marie (nee Turko)May 1, 1941 – August 16, 2015

the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother Rose White on August 16, 2015 at the Cowichan District Hospital surrounded by her family. She fought a courageous battle with cancer.

Rose is survived by her loving husband John of 54 years; her children Debbie

(Willi) Konn, Rick (Lori) White; grandchildren William (Vanessa), Amanda, Breanne (Tyler), Ashlee (Alex); special great grandson Jaeden; her mother Mary Turko and her siblings John (Betty), Bill (Lynn), Bob (Judy), Ann (Ed), Doug (Rosa), Maryann (Steve) and their families.

Rose was born in Golden, BC May 1, 1941 and her family moved to the Lake Cowichan area in 1943. Rose met John and married in 1961 and moved to Duncan and started her family. Rose was a stay at home mom that dedicated all of her time to her family. It was important that she was always in the kitchen cooking special meals, never a dinner went by without a fancy dessert. Mom always opened her home to welcome family and friends to a good meal or visits on the sun deck. One of her joys in life was hosting regular lunch time meals with her grandson William and his high school friends. A special tradition she held on to each year was Christmas baking with Debbie and Amanda.

The family would like to thank Dr. Postuk and the staff of Cowichan District Hospital for all of their care and compassion through this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 23, 2015 at Glenora Community Hall, 3660 Glenora Road, Duncan, BC from 1:00 – 3:00 pm.

“Mom we love you and will miss you so much, forever in our hearts”

The core of Cowichan LMG’s 2015 Jackson Cup-winning team will be back for the upcoming Vancouver Island Soccer League season, but head coach Glen Martin is always looking for ways to improve his team, and once again, he has a cast of new recruits that should help get the squad to yet another level of play.

Heading into last season, Mar-tin added scoring stars Paddy Nelson and Cooper Barry to the roster. This year, he has bolstered the lineup with defender Ryan Ashley, goalkeeper Sam Hutchin-son, and homegrown midfielders Mason Chang and Govinda Innes.

Ashley and Hutchinson both hail from Victoria, but spent the last four years playing for St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. Now that they’ve graduated, they’re back on the West Coast. Both of them had played with other Cowichan LMG players in the past — Ashley with the Victoria Highlanders and Hutchinson with Vic United — so it was an easy decision to play for Cowichan.

Hutchinson feels he brings a good level of experience to his new squad.

“Four years of playing at dif-ferent ends of the country,” he said. “Knowledge from growing up on Vancouver Island, and the experience of playing soccer on both coasts.”

The biggest difference between soccer on the two coasts? One has snow, the other doesn’t.

Ashley, who has been a defen-sive partner of Cowichan main-

stay Tyler Hughes with the High-landers, took the opportunity to gently rib the veteran when asked what he brings to the team.

“Some youth, some speed to make up for Tyler,” he said. “Someone to run around where he tells me to go.”

Chang grew up in Duncan, but played most of his high-level soc-cer in Victoria.

“I played here until I was about 13, then I started commuting to

Victoria to play,” he said.Chang played in the Highland-

ers system for three years, where he also got to know Hughes. Mar-tin invited him to try out for Cow-ichan LMG, and it wasn’t a hard decision to make.

“They’re number one in Div. 1,” Chang said. “I think that will push me. I’m one of the youngest guys here, if not the youngest, so I’ll bring a bit of youth to the team.”

Innes not only grew up in the Valley, in Lake Cowichan, but he has previous experience with Cowichan LMG. He played a season with the club five years ago, cracking the roster before he turned 17. Since then, he has spent four years playing in the German fourth division. This past summer, he played with Dal-las City FC in the NPSL.

“Germany was amazing,” Innes said. “It was nice because you’re

playing against the reserves for the pro sides. The way they think strategically is amazing. It was a bit of a culture shock.”

Innes’s mom still lives in the Cowichan Valley, so coming back here was a natural choice.

“It’s nice to come out and play with these guys again,” he said. “It’s also nice because they’re the best team.”

In addition to Hughes, Nelson and Barry, other veterans com-ing back from last year’s cham-pionship team include captain Jesse Winter, Kevan Brown, Dan Citra, Stu Barker, Steve Scott and Brad Archibald. Martin plans to start with a small roster and add players as the season progresses, including some from the Univer-sity of Victoria and Vancouver Island University once their sea-sons are over.

“We’ll start with low numbers, about 13 or 14 guys,” the coach said. “It’ll be good for the guys at the start of the year; they’ll get lots of playing time. So far, we’re looking good. We have low num-bers, but there’s quality there. We’re going to build on it as the season goes along.”

The idea is to peak for the play-offs, making another run at the Jackson Cup and continuing to pursue the elusive provincial championship. Cowichan has been to five of the last three Jackson Cup finals, winning three. They’ve been to the B.C. semifinals twice in that span, but haven’t been able to get over the bump to the last game.

“We’re the defending [Jackson Cup] champions, the defending league champions, there’s lots of motivation,” Martin said.

The players feel it too. Ashley says his main goal this year is to win provincials.

“I think everyone here wants to do that,” he said.

The Duncan Stingrays are on a break from swimming until Sep-tember, and justifiably so, after the busy summer the team has had, including appearances at the AA and AAA provincial cham-pionships and the Canadian Age Group Championships in Quebec.

Five Stingrays were able to attend the Swim BC Long Course AA Championships in Kamloops at the end of June, with another six unable to attend due to gradu-ations or other commitments. The five who did make it were among more than 400 competi-tors from across the province.

Dylan Kruger and Mar y Paridaen vanVeen achieved per-sonal bests in 100 per cent of their races in Kamloops, while the other three — James Ogihara-Kertz, Sophie Paridaen vanVeen and Montana Prystupa — had PBs in all but one of their events.

Prystupa finished in the top five in all of her races, winning one gold medal and two silvers. Mary Paridaen vanVeen was top six in all her races, with a pair of silvers, and Sophie Paridaen vanVeen made the top four in all her races and picked up a bronze medal. Ogihara-Kertz made the top 10 in each of his events and picked up a bronze, and Kruger had two top-eight results.

Mary Paridaen vanVeen also

picked up AAA qualifying times in the 100m and 200m butterfly, which allowed her to compete in the AAA provincials in Vic-

toria a week later. Mary was one of 12 Stingrays to attend the AAA meet, the largest team the Duncan club has ever sent to

that level. More than 760 swim-mers from 56 teams were in attendance.

Olin Dahlstrom, Natalia Gar-riock, Cailine Keirstead, Malia Prystupa, Desirae Ridenour, Bri-elle Woodruff and Robyn Zinkan achieved personal bests in all of their races. Paridaen vanVeen and Ty Dahlstrom were one race shy of the 100 per cent mark, Oliver Castle and Savanah Van-Nieuwkerk were two races shy, and Laura Kissack finished with two personal bests.

Olin Dahlstrom and Oliver Castle set new Stingrays rec-ords at the AAA meet. Dahl-strom’s record came in the 11/12 male long course 50m butterfly, where his mark of 34.00 seconds was 0.11 seconds faster than the mark set by Paralympian Brian Hill in 1995. Castle’s time of 33.97 seconds bested Cliff Smirl’s 1992 mark of 34.25 seconds in the 13/14 male long course 50m breaststroke.

Garriock made the top six in all of her races, with a fourth-place finish in the 100m fly, Malia Pry-stupa cracked the top 10 in all of her events, and Woodruff made the top nine in three races, including a fifth-place result in the 200m fly.

The AAA meet also resulted in two new Canadian Age Group qualifying times as Prystupa matched the 1:12.00 mark neces-

sary for the 13-year-old girls 100m backstroke, and Castle’s time of 33.97 seconds surpassed the stan-dard of 34.10 for the 50m breast-stroke. Those were the second Canadian Age Group qualifying times for both swimmers. Three qualifying times are required to attend the meet.

Castle got his third qualifying time at the Nanaimo Riptides Time Trial on July 9, and joined Savanah VanNieuwkerk at the Canadian Age Group Champion-ships in Quebec City on July 29 to Aug. 3, where they were among nearly 900 other swimmers.

VanNieuwkerk had personal bests in all of her events, while Castle had PBs in all but two of his.

Castle also set new Stingrays records in two events. His time of 2:44.36 set a new mark in the 13/14 male long course 200m breast-stroke, beating Stephen Shum-ka’s 29-year-old record by 1.55 seconds, and his time of 5:14.29 beat his own record of 5:26.06, set this past June.

Both Stingrays climbed the national rankings in all of his races. VanNieuwkerk’s biggest jumps came in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, as she moved up 13 spots in both races to 14th and 17th, respetively. Castle’s biggest leap came in the 200m breast-stroke, moving up three spots to 20th in Canada.

With their first preseason exhib-ition game set for this Sunday in Nanaimo, the Kerry Park Island-ers took to the ice earlier this week for training camp at Kerry Park Arena.

A few faces were missing as camp opened, but Islanders owner Mark Osmond was opti-mistic about his team’s chances in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League this season.

“We have a lot of returning players,” he said. “I’m liking our team this year.”

The Isles have a handful of players who will attend junior A camps right now: Lynden Eddy and offseason acquisition Daw-son Haines with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, Taylor Armbrust-er with the Alberni Valley Bull-dogs, and Leighton Williams with the Coquitlam Express. Haines is a product of Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey who was drafted by the WHL’s Moose Jaw War-riors in 2013 and spent last season with the Castlegar Rebels of the Kootenay junior B league.

“We could lose players to junior A, which would bite us,” Osmond said. “But at the same time that would be good for our program.”The team has already lost star forward Braedan Cross to the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatch-ewan Junior Hockey League.

Cross played the last three years with the Islanders, recording 133 points in 115 games, including a team-high 61 points in 48 contests last season.

Only two players — forwards Matt Osmond and Cody Short — aged out after the 2014/15 cam-paign, so unless several others move up to junior A, this year’s team should bear a strong resem-blance to last year’s.

“We probably won’t have a lot

spots to fill,” at camp.The Isles have 24 forwards bat-

tling for an expected 14 spots and an astounding nine goalies con-tending for two spots. Pickings are relatively slim on defence, but the Isles should be fine if their core from last season comes back.

There are two 15-year-old for-wards in camp: Samson McLean and Isaac Tonkin-Palmer, both members of the bantam Kerry Park team that went to provin-

cials last year. Although it’s high-ly unlikely either one will crack the roster full time, Osmond hopes to see them frequently as affiliates.

“Maybe we’ll get them for a year before they head off to junior A or the WHL,” the owner said.

Head coach Dale Purinton will be back behind the bench once again, with Aaron Spotts joining the staff along with returning assistants Trevor Hynes, Robert

Davison and Rob Webb.Osmond’s immediate goal is

to beat the Victoria Cougars for the first time since he bought the Isles in late 2012. The Isles will get their first chance to do that when they open regular season against the Cougars in Victoria on Sept. 10.

His goal for the season is to compete with the Cougars for the South Division title.

“I’d like to see us in the top two [in the division],” he said. “Vic-toria is going to load up. I thought they might struggle because of all the guys they lost, but they’ve made a push to host the Cyclone Taylor Cup [Western Canadian championships], so they get a bye into that tournament and they’ve been doing some recruiting.”

The Isles haven’t finished high-er than fourth since they moved to the South Division in 2011/12, but Osmond feels good about this year.

“Our team is maturing,” he said. “We’ve been building to get to this point. I expect us to be in the top two.”

The Isles will play their first two exhibition games on the road, visiting the Nanaimo Buccaneers this Sunday, followed the first half of a home-and-home series against the Peninsula Panthers on Aug. 28. On Aug. 29, they host the Panthers in their exhibition finale.
