Five-year-old Adriauna Benoit takes a determined swing during her first Rookie Tadpole game Saturday, April 13 at the High Street Ball Field. Baseball swung into season last weekend as Ladysmith’s six Rookie Tadpole teams — for players aged five to seven — kicked off their year with three Saturday morning games. Major Tadpole teams followed suit Sunday morning with their first games of the season, while Peewee and Mosquito leagues began their seasons Monday, April 15. Peewee and Mosquito teams play through to the end of May, while Major and Rookie Tadpole teams are scheduled to wrap up their seasons in mid-June.

A report presented to the Nanaimo Ladysmith School District school board last week recommends some significant changes over the next 10 years, including the reconfiguration of schools in Ladysmith. “Enhanced facilities for learning” is one of the district’s three strategic planning goals, and the board of education has asked the district’s senior management team to develop a draft 10-year facilities enhancement plan to meet the goal. Dr. Doug Player has been working as a consultant to assist senior management with the definition of the key elements of the plan, and his recommendations were presented to the board April 11. The draft plan will be a multi-year plan, and its primary focus will be how facilities can be enhanced to provide better learning opportunities for students, according to the school district. Player said that the plan he presented is directed to accomplishing the following goals: • First and foremost, to enhance learning opportunities for all students; • Second, to garner new (and longoverdue) state-of-the-art replacement facilities; • Third, to consolidate costly positions so funding can go to the classroom; • Fourth, to save wasted maintenance funds; and, • Finally, to improve the long-term fiscal position of the board. The expectations of the plan are that it will also: • Improve student achievement results;

• Improve program offerings for students; • Renew the approach and improve conditions for alternate program students; • Assist in the achievement of the board goals; and, • Assist in balancing the budget in the long term. The plan is a 10-year plan divided into three stages: immediate actions to be undertaken in years one and two; medium-term actions to be undertaken in years three through five, and long-term which includes recommendations for years six through 10. The plan recommends that the board consolidate 10 facilities, rebuild four facilities, rethink and repurpose the District Resource Centre/Learning Resource Centre, institute three new enrichment programs, relocate and renew the approach to the alternate programs, adjust the immersion program, and relocate the administrative functions. Player said the district is dealing with deteriorating facilities — 40 per cent are beyond their useful life — empty space, dysfunctional buildings, a lack of program enrichment, staffing duplication and a large budget deficit. “In my opinion, right now, your students don’t have the facilities they deserve; they don’t have the achievement they should have,” he said. “Your teachers should have more resources.” The district is trying to spread too few dollars across too many facilities and by massing students together, the district can improve course offerings, create better learning conditions and offer more resources to See Ten-year Page 3

News The recommendations

Some of the Ladysmith- and Cedar-focused recommendations presented by Dr. Doug Player in his Enhanced Facilities for Learning 10-year plan, which was presented to the NanaimoLadysmith School District board of education April 11. Year One (2013) • Reconfigure Ladysmith Secondary School to enrol Grades 6 through 12 Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) is underutilized, while Ladysmith Intermediate School and École Davis Road Elementary are in poor condition. This reconfiguration is the first move designed to enable all students in Ladysmith to be taught on one campus in this unique community. LSS has an operational capacity of 800 students, and by adding Grades 6 and 7, the school approaches capacity. The students in Grades 6 to 8 could operate under a middle school philosophy, allowing a smooth transition to secondary programs, while the younger students would have access to facilities not normally available to that age. • This reconfiguration of Ladysmith Secondary opens room within Ladysmith Intermediate School to enable the consolidation of the remaining kindergarten to Grade 5 English-stream École Davis Road Elementary population within Ladysmith Intermediate. This would act as an intermediary step to the accommodation of all Ladysmith students on the single campus. By doing so, the Davis Road population would no longer be accommodated in so many portables. Ladysmith Intermediate has an operating capacity of 300, which enables this consolidation to take place comfortably. This move accomplishes the goal of improving the students’ learning spaces, while ensuring adequate numbers in the building. It also enables savings of approximately $100,000 in a difficult budget year. Year Two (2014) • Move all Cedar Grade 8-12 students to John Barsby Secondary School Secondary schools require a certain mass of students in order to offer a full range of programs to the students. John Barsby is currently underutilized, and the addition of the Cedar community enables John Barsby to operate at full capacity so that the students benefit from a full range of opportunities. • Consolidate North Cedar Intermediate, North Oyster, South Wellington and Woodbank in a new elementary school in the former Cedar Secondary building The four elementary schools in the Cedar area have become too small to offer the opportunities that should be available to each of the children. This change provides outstanding facilities not typically available to younger children and a population base that reduces split classes while making available required support resources within the building. Much more teacher choice is also available. Net annual savings of over three quarters of a million dollars become available in the district’s operating budget. Using Ministry of Education capacities, Cedar has an operational capacity of 475 as an elementary school, with the ability to expand if required. • Initiate a pilot program in the arts at the new Cedar Elementary The school has exceptional facilities in its elective wing that offer the opportunity to offer a unique enrichment program in the arts. Building a student’s capacity in the arts has been linked to improved academic success, and this is another positive approach to improving the district’s achievement results. The suggested program has been designed by a Cedar teacher who has expertise in this area and who knows this community well. Cedar could become one of the most exciting elementary schools in the province. Year three (2015) • Begin the rebuild of NDSS and Ladysmith Elementary This recommendation is intended to create a new vibrant culture on two individual campuses that boast exceptional sites. It is important that the district move forward with dispatch so that the students and staff have access to modern state of the art facilities. Year Five (2017) • Move into the new Ladysmith Elementary School This will consolidate all Ladysmith students on the same campus. The full 10-year plan is available online at www.sd68.bc.ca.

Moving students around, cutting support and specialist teachers, and closing services are all strategies Nanaimo school trustees are considering to balance next year’s budget. The district is facing a $4.7-million shortfall in its 2013-14 budget. While district staff had previously identified $2 million in savings to put toward next year’s budget — a $500,000 surplus carried over from last year; another $500,000 surplus from this year’s budget, due mainly to an unanticipated enrolment drop; and a $1-million clawback on supplies and services budgets — that still left about $2.7 million in proposed cuts to talk about at the April 10 business committee meeting.

As our paper went to press, the writ was expected to drop on the provincial election today (April 16). With the 2013 provincial election campaign underway, the Nanaimo-North Cowichan Electoral Office has opened in Ladysmith in the old Benjamin Moore building at 11 Buller St. This is the hub for administering the election in the Nanaimo-North Cowichan, and about 430 temporary employees will be involved until the May 14 election, according to Lynda Poirier, the deputy district electoral officer for Nanaimo-North Cowichan. “This is the central location for the riding to organize the whole event,” she explained. “It’s where all the ballot boxes are assembled. It’s where the candidates register for candidacy.” The Electoral Office is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Under special circumstances, this is the spot to vote in advance in our riding.

NDP leader Adrian Dix has agreed with Integrity B.C., an election watchdog group, the BC Conservative Party, the Green Party and independent MLAs that there should be a ban on donations from businesses and unions to political campaigns. This would bring B.C. into line with the federal government and most other provinces. Is this really best for democracy? Independent MLA Bob Simpson says that organizations giving donations to parties “buys access” and is at odds with one person, one vote. B.C. has had, in the past, a robust political tradition that is quite unlike many other provinces. Many elections have been fought like class warfare. The Liberals, the latest version of the free enterprise coalition, get funds from many businesses, and the NDP (and the CCF before them) get funds from labour. What’s wrong with that? A limit on donations from an individual business or union to a party, and a law that would prevent that organization from making simultaneous donations to individual candidates to try to get around the limit, would be sufficient in limiting the influence of any one donor. Businesses, unions, advocacy groups and individuals should be free to donate to political parties. Democracy is a battle of ideas, and getting ideas out into the public square requires money and effort. No one should be able to buy an election. Individuals, groups and businesses should be able to fully participate. — Langley Times

Don’t count B.C. Conservatives out BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

s the B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader confirmed his own plan to increase personal and business income tax rates. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released “fiscal framework” document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does indeed include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service.

Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a regionally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after all, a tax budgeted to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year. The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and particularly northern folks who face long distances, long winters, and public transit options ranging from slim to none. This has ceased to be much of an issue for the urban B.C. majority, who are focused on bridge tolls, ferry fares and the like. The B.C. Conservatives decry the population decline of rural B.C., with international immigration almost exclusively going to big cities, while temporary foreign workers increasingly fill agricultural and industrial jobs in the Interior. The party’s still-evolving platform echoes the NDP’s call for more skills training

and increased completion rates for trade apprentices. Cummins is in favour of the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline and the massive buildup of infrastructure needed to add liquefied natural gas to B.C.’s energy export mix. He sees that enormous industrial expansion as the path to shift population growth beyond the south of the province. Cummins is surprisingly cool to one industrial project, the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River, calling himself undecided. He also sounds skeptical about the B.C. Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power. This sounds to me like political positioning rather than economic analysis. An anti-Site C independent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a three-way struggle for a key B.C. Conservative target. The B.C. Conservative platform also totals up the billions in long-term electricity contracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this

clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So if the B.C. Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom. As a longtime former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming, or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all Hell would break loose. The B.C. Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Reader is ‘done with the Canadian Cancer Society’

Editor: On March 27, Peter Kingston and Kathy Ilott gave a “smoke and mirrors” presentation to Ladysmith’s Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) volunteers. Why did Kathy Ilott not give us the name of the person who will take care of the door-to-door campaign in Ladysmith? Why did Peter and Kathy withhold that information during the meeting, then give her name (Sue Carlson) to the Chronicle reporter after the volunteers were out of the Eagles Hall? Today, I spoke to Sue Carlson, who informed me she was a paid Nanaimo Canadian Cancer campaign chairman until 2009. How did that fact manage to slip both Peter and Kathy’s mind during the question period? Has Ladysmith ever had a paid campaign chairman? How many years did the Ladysmith Resources Centre donate their office space RENTFREE to the Canadian Cancer Society? Why were there funds to pay a campaign chairman in Nanaimo, yet the small monthly rent and other expenses of our local office are suddenly too much? Ladysmith had another option, it being the B.C. Cancer Foundation at 2410 Lee Ave., Victoria, B.C. V8R 6V5 (phone 1-866-519-5550). They will gladly accept our donations, which they tell me are used for research and innovation in patient care. Is this so different from the (CCS)? This B.C. Cancer Foundation is the fundraising arm of the B.C. Cancer Agency. For well over 30 years, I have canvassed on our street for Canadian Cancer Society in their April door-to-door campaign, as well as being a volunteer with our local office from its opening in April 1993. I am done with the Canadian Cancer Society. I will no longer donate to the Canadian Cancer Society or volunteer my time.

I have two very large planting boxes in my driveway, plus a back garden not used for very much other than rough grass and many weeds. My husband died recently, and I am not strong enough to do planting in those places, but I would offer them to a group to plant seeds to produce food at my expense (up to a point) for those needing such food stuff and not having the means to buy them. The property has a large driveway to facilitate the delivery of soil and anything that may be needed for this project. Strange missive, I know. Please take it seriously.

Editor: It needs to be said. Congratulations to all of the hardworking Ladysmith maintenance crew who make Ladysmith a wonderful city. I love going down to Transfer Beach whenever I am feeling down or I just want to ponder things. It is so beautiful and pristine with those lovely memorial benches. I read the inscriptions on each bench, and things in my life are put into perspective. The entire beach is so neat and tidy. I am so proud to call Ladysmith my home and pleased that any tourists who visit can find the same beauty that I so enjoy. Hats off!!! Just a suggestion: it may serve well to put some sawdust on the soggy grassy areas. Ann Calder Ladysmith

A week later, on Feb. 5, Godkin discovered that out of the 4,000 ambitious entrepreneurs who auditioned for the show this year, he’d been selected to make an appearance on Dragons’ Den in April. “I just about did a backflip off my desk,” Godkin says, grinning from behind that very same desk in an office flooded with kayaking magazines. He accepted the invitation without a moment’s hesitation, knowing full well that Seaward would have to cover its own expenses for the trip to Toronto. Two or three weeks prior to his studio appearance, CBC assigned a producer to help Godkin polish his pitch and fine tune his stage presence. “Those guys, hats off, are amazing to work with,” Godkin adds. “They definitely treat you like a star.” With a firm date set for their tête-à-tête with the Dragons, Seaward’s Reg. $5.50m *Members All Stock *Members owners Steven and OFF Jacquie Ree travelled reg. price m east with Godkin, arriving at the studio at 6:45 a.m. the morning of the taping.

Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) has committed $488,000 for its share of the cost of upgrades to Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway infrastructure, Ladysmith Mayor and CVRD chair Rob Hutchins said. Rail renovations are the responsibility of the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF), Hutchins said, a coalition that includes five regional districts, 14 First Nations and 13 municipalities. “[ICF members] actually own the corridor and the amenities,” Hutchins added. “The goal is to maintain the rail corridor and establish both viable passenger and freight service. Fifteen million dollars was obtained from the federal and provincial governments — $ 7.5 million each — to upgrade the track and replace over 100,000 ties.” Additional funds were required to service the rail corridor’s 48 bridges and trestles, Hutchins added, and engineering assessments determined they were in need of $5.4 million worth of upgrades before passenger rail service can resume. “The ICF approached the regional districts,” Hutchins said, “and in a very rare move, all five regional districts agreed to help fund this capital upgrade.” The five participating regional districts will contribute $3.2 million, Hutchins said, while the ICF will raise the remainder from “additional revenue sources.” Regional districts will contribute funds to ICF renovations as follows: • Capital (Greater Victoria): $1,200,000 • Nanaimo: $941,081 • Cowichan Valley: $488,000 • Comox Valley: $391,811 • Alberni-Clayoquot: $179,007 “It is my understanding that most regional districts are making their contribution over two years,” Hutchins added. “For the CVRD, we will requisition $244,000 in 2013 — about $4.50 per average home in Ladysmith — and again in 2014.” Graham Bruce, chief operating officer with the ICF, confirmed they now “have the commitment for federal, provincial and regional district funding for the infrastructure work that needs to be undertaken.” Funding for infrastructure improvements is conditional on the forging of a new train service agreement between rail operator Southern Rail and VIA Rail, Canada’s crown corporation responsible for passenger rail service, Bruce said, and negotiations are currently underway between VIA and Southern. Bruce could not offer a tentative completion date for the new service agreement, but he said they’re hopeful it can be completed “in the next while” so that construction on the rail corridor can begin “in the fall.” Bruce anticipates passenger service commencing “in the late spring of 2014.”

Whetherthey’re

growing out of it or into it

Chemainus Legion president Mike Beggs and first vice-president Janet Mitchell visited Chemainus Secondary School (CSS) Friday, April 12 to present Grade 11 CSS student Hannah Holmes a certificate and a cheque for $150 in recognition of Holmes’ third-place finish in the B.C./Yukon division of the Royal Canadian Legion’s annual Remembrance Day poster contest. Holmes produced her prize-winning tribute — a copy of which is visible behind Holmes — last November after her social studies teacher Janet Ruest (at NICK BEKOLAY/CHRONICLE left) assigned the class to create remembrance-themed posters.

Hannah Holmes, a Grade 11 student at Chemainus Secondary School (CSS), was recognized by the Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) last week after placing third in the B.C.-Yukon division of the RCL’s national Remembrance Day poster contest. President Mike Begg and first vice-president Janet Mitchell of the Chemainus Legion delivered a certificate and cheque to Holmes at CSS April 12, in recognition of Holmes’ accomplishment.

Remember the ultimate sacrifice, resulted from a social studies project assigned by her teacher Janet Ruest last November. Ruest, head of CSS’s social studies department, said the assignment revolved around a theme of remembrance and “the idea of passing remembrance on from generation to generation.” Holmes “captured that beautifully in her poster,” Ruest added. Holmes used gouache — a paint similar to watercolours but more opaque — to render her interpretation of remembrance. Her poster features snapshots of the Royal Canadian Navy and Air Force and scenes of remembrance set against a silhouette of soldiers traversing a First World War battlefield at sunset. A handpainted reproduction of a wartime photo of her great-great-uncle rests below the red banner bearing the poster’s title. Holmes’ great-greatuncle was imprisoned in Stalag Luft III — a German prisoner-of-war camp where Allied air force personnel were detained during the latter half of the Second World War. Family lore suggests he helped dig one of three tunnels through which 76 prisoners escaped from the camp on the night of

March 24, 1944 — the real-life prison break that inspired the movie The Great Escape. “I’ve met him once,” Holmes said. “I went and visited him in Saskatchewan. From what I’ve heard, he was a digger in one of the three tunnels, but he didn’t actually escape.” German soldiers recaptured 73 of the 76 men in the days and weeks following the escape, Holmes said, and according to BBC Radio 4, 50 of these men were then “systematically executed on orders from German High Command.” Holmes’s submission won first place at the branch and zone levels, Mitchell said, before advancing to the B.C./ Yu k o n C o m m a n d competition, where she placed third. That earned Holmes a certificate and a cheque for $150 from the Chemainus Legion. The RCL hosts an annual nationwide contest for students from kindergarten through Grade 12, Mitchell said, and participating students submit entries in four categories: essays, poetry, blackand-white posters, and colour posters. The Chemainus Legion received 283 entries from area schools this year, Mitchell added, and distributed $1,985 in prizes in return.

Holmes is one of several students from CSS to have benefitted from the generosity of the Chemainus Legion in recent years. “In 2000, one of our students won the best essay in the province,” Ruest said. “In 2003, another student won the best essay. In 2005, Jake Shepherd’s poem won first in the province and was second in all of Canada — at the Dominion level — and now Hannah’s up there again. So for a little school, we do pretty well.” “I wanted to comment on how generous our local Legion is,” Ruest added. “A lot of Legions use [poppy funds] for their own veterans and their own services. Our Legion has felt it’s important to give back to the youth, making that connection of remembrance back-andforth. And this Legion in particular is very generous with the amount of money that they give at the local level. More so than many other Legion branches. I just want to thank them for thinking that’s important, because the students definitely appreciate [it.]” How will Holmes spend her winnings? “Part of it is probably going towards buying brushes,” Holmes said, “And the rest of it will go towards my education.”

Senior members of Ladysmith Secondary School’s band spent spring break enjoying Cuba’s subtropical weather while on a musical exchange east of Havana. The group explored the country’s rainforests and an underground river, participated in samba lessons, took in a theatre performance and performed for students from a Cuban musical academy. Here they are at a Cuban orphanage delivering clothing, sporting gear, toys, school supplies and a copy of the Chronicle to the home’s residents. LSS band teacher Rod Alsop (back row, far right) said the trip was by and large a success, adding that his students were routinely revising their list of favourite Cuba moments with every new destination.

Get swept up in Delicious Lies at Chemainus Theatre The Chemainus Theatre Festival’s latest play, which runs from April 26 to May 18, ‘combines sophisticated clowning with good storytelling’ The Chemainus Theatre Festival aims to offer entertainment and new theatrical experiences with the upcoming production of Delicious Lies. As a special adaptation of 1671 comedy Les Fourberies de Scapin (“Scapin’s Deceits”) by French playwright Molière, the show brings a fresh approach to physical farce to the Chemainus Theatre Festival. From April 26 to May 18, audiences can discover just how far the truth can be twisted before fraying out of control. The unique story fuses elements of spaghetti western, circus and the predecessor of vaudeville and Seinfeld, seamlessly woven into an uproarious fable of scheming lovers, mistaken identities and clownish greedy servants. Delicious Lies is a unique play that combines sophisticated clowning with good storytelling. It is derived from the work of Molière, considered to be a master of comedy in Western literature, and retains the writer/actor/ director’s personal enjoyment for the commedia dell’arte — an improvisational style of performance that emphasized physical interaction between people, situations and point of view. The Chemainus Theatre Festival’s artistic director, Mark DuMez, believes that the playful diversity in style and lighthearted plot will appeal to a range of audiences. Molière’s original play is often adapted, most notably as Scapino! by Frank

Dunlop and Jim Dale, and Scapin, by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell. Like most, The Chemainus Theatre Festival’s presentation translates and modernizes the French-language story for today’s audience, while retaining the play’s original structure and plot. Delicious Lies tells the story of Scapin, an arrogant and pompous servant to the household of Geronte. He believes in only one version of truth — his own — To customers of the and uses all nature of trickery to achieve his self-ambitions. In his latest caper, Scapin has promised to help his young charge Léandre and neighbour The Cowichan Valley Regional District will be carrying out flushing of the above-noted water system from:

boy Octave save their new relationships. The mixed story lines and vaudevillian style of Delicious Lies require flawless comedic wit and timing. “We’ve got a great bunch of seasoned pros ready to dive into the text and physicality required for the show,” says DuMez. “We’ve been talking with the scenic designer about what tricks we might incorporate to support the lively text.” The cast includes: the two old men — Geronte (Timothy Brummond) and Argante (Michelle Lieffertz) — who have been away on business and arrive home with a surprise for their respective sons — Leander (Darren Burkett) and Octave (Ben Elliott) — who have fallen in love with gypsy girl Zerbinette (Samantha Currie) and the penniless foreigner Hyacinth (Ella Simon), and the wily servants Scapin (Thomas Jones) or Sylvestre (Brian Linds) who are left holding the bag as things twist and turn between the two families. The role of Scapin is particularly pivotal to the show. A classic theatrical persona in commedia dell’arte, everything from his name (related to the English word “escape”) to his self-interested pursuits guide the overarching theme of the play. The character is a proud schemer, a scoundrel, and a jack-of-all-trades, known to cause confusion of anything he undertakes. He adapts quickly to changing scenarios, often inciting disorder for his own selfpreservation. True to this style, Molière’s Scapin is the tie that binds each character to his story of mischief and revenge. Tickets are now available for evening performances (Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.) and matinee shows (Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.) through The Chemainus Theatre Festival box office at 1-800-565-7738 and online through www. chemainustheatre.ca. Theatre-goers who seek a deeper understanding of the show can attend on “Talkb a c k We d n e s d a y, ” when a lively Q&A session with the actors and artistic team is held to provide insight about the script and production. There is no extra charge to attend either the Wednesday matinee or evening performance. — Submitted

Highlanders advance to second round

LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE

The U21 Mid-Isle Highlanders FC took home-field advantage and ran with it, as the team advanced into the second round of the provincial championships. The Highlanders withstood early pressure from a hard-charging Gorge FC side, but managed to hold on and win their first-round provincial playoff game 2-1 Sunday, April 14 at Forrest Field. The winning goal came 10 minutes into the second half, when, from 30 yards out, Andres Algarin lofted a ball just over the leaping Gorge goalkeeper’s fingertips and under the bar. Gorge scored with five minutes left in the game to come within one goal, but the Highlanders were able to preserve the victory. The win moves the Highlanders into the quarter-finals of the BC Soccer U21 Provincial Championships Tournament, which will also be played in Ladysmith. The game time had not been announced at our press time. The Provincial Championships Tournament format sees 16 teams from seven leagues across B.C. battling it out in a single-round elimination format, similar to the NCAA’s March Madness tournament. The Highlanders came into the tournament ranked third overall and first in their group after winning the George Smith U21 Cup as Vancouver Island Soccer League champions.
