Aircraft battle Skutz Falls wildfire SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

At last measurement, a Skutz Falls fire that ignited Tuesday evening was mapped at 16 hectares, up six hectares from Wednesday’s estimate, according to the BC Coastal Fire Centre, but

that number may be deceiving. While the fire likely did grow in area, the higher measurement also means crews were able to gather more exact GPS data as to the fire’s borders on Thursday compared to previous days’ estimates, explained Fire Informa-

tion Officer Marg Drysdale. “It’s a moving target for the first little while,” she said. “You take a couple of people’s best guesses and you factor in smoke and you factor in slope, all of those things, and until they actually can get a mapped size, it’s never exact.”

The human-caused fire remained 20 per cent contained Thursday morning. Drysdale said the incident commander reported that with the personnel that he has — now a crew of 75 on the ground in addition to five helicopters in the air

and other aircraft on standby — he believed he’s going to have better containment by the end of Thursday. The commander gave no indication of how much containment is hoped for. See FIRE CREWS, Page 9

Valley generosity gives student freedom SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Duncan’s Paul Tindall Henry, a 25-yearold Vancouver Island University student, has his whole life ahead of him. That life just got a little easier thanks to a new custom wheelchair and van supplied with the help of family, friends and strangers. Henry has muscular dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disorder that’s been making it harder to get around of late. “It’s a slow erosion of what you can and cannot do,” his mom Leslie Tindall explained. Henry’s condition affects both his arms and legs making movement at times dangerous. “He can’t walk long distances and he can’t walk up stairs anymore and he can’t walk up a hill or on uneven ground,” Tindall said. “It’s very difficult for him to navigate so it becomes very unsafe. He’s in real danger of falling and hurting himself.” A strapping young man at six-feet tall, Tindall said her son has done an amazing job at hauling himself around. “We figured this year he just needed a little bit more help,” she explained. A wheelchair would give Henry the option to walk or roll depending on his activity. A van would further expand his horizons. But Tindall and her son soon learned working with the government to get Henry what he needed wouldn’t be easy. “We really had to fight with the ministry to get Paul accepted,” Tindall explained. “Their rules and regulations are very strict on who qualifies for help.” She said as long as Henry could take one step on his own he was out of luck in terms of provincial funding. “And he needed some extras on the wheelchair that they didn’t want to cover. It was a really interesting battle,” Tindall said. “Our community occupational therapist really helped fight the battle for it. It was a really long process.” Eventually though, the province agreed to give Henry his chair. As soon as that happened, Tindall learned her own health coverage would also cover 99 per cent of it. So in the end, the back and forth with the ministry was for naught, and the private

health coverage was used, “which was good because then the ministry’s money could go to somebody else who needed it,” she said. So with the $30,000 wheelchair secured, the family turned their attention to securing funds for the $60,000 van needed to haul it. “You’re so dependent on so many other people when you have a disability, but to have that independence to get yourself here and there, I think is really important,” Tindall said. Family in Australia helped jumpstart the van campaign, sending about half of what was needed. And then it was Cowichan’s turn. “The support has been phenomenal,” Tindall said. “People who we’ve never met have come through and have been so generous and so giving of time and what they have. It’s amazing to be on the receiving end of this community and what people can give, little bits or a lot, it all came together, it all added up.” Together with a number of small events, a wildly popular samosa sale, a line dancing night, a burger and beer event at the Cowichan Bay Pub, a Mr. Mikes burger sale and a Hawaiian themed dance all added funds to the kitty. Silent auctions and raffles and an infusion in the form of Canadian Tire’s chocolate bar sales helped to increase the total. Muscular Dystrophy Canada also chipped in with a few thousand dollars. All told, it took five months to outfit Henry with his chair and van. He aims now to have both his legs and his wheelchair in his transportation toolbox. “It’s a big load off, just knowing that I can have some breathing room between being able to walk short distances and still being able to move as I can, yet still being able to, if things go bad, have a way to move around again,” he said. While he drove a car with hand controls before, getting used to the van is taking some time, he admitted with a chuckle. “I actually love it. It’s amazing,” he said. “There’s a lot of bells and whistles in it.” The benefit of the van is it can carry the custom wheelchair which will enable him to keep chasing his goals.

Paul Tindall Henry shows off the new van enabling him to get to where he needs to go easily, and in style. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] While he’s going to school to be a teacher, he knows he can ultimately do whatever he wants with his newfound freedom. “I’m still open to the idea of what I really want to do,” he said. As for his mother, she’s still overwhelmed at the generosity of others. “The fact that Blue Cross came through with the wheelchair was humungous and

the fact that the Australian contingent donated part of the money towards the van was huge, too. That really helped us to be able to afford this,” Tindall said. “People really went out of their way. Some people came to all of our events. Some people came to a few. It’s just amazing to be on the receiving end of so many people. It’s wonderful.”

$500K announced for Lake field upgrade LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Lake Cowichan’s big Centennial Park, which has been sitting largely unused for some time waiting for an upgrade, got a $500,000 boost Tuesday. John Duncan, minister of State and MP for Vancouver Island North, announced at a ceremony beside Centennial Hall and the Little League ball park Tuesday afternoon that Lake Cowichan is getting the cash from of Canada 150 Community Infrastructure fund. The funding program celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday, which falls in 2017, and the money helps renovate, expand and rehabilitate existing infrastructure that provides community and cultural benefits for the public, he said. Duncan also took the opportunity, while at Lake Cowichan, to announce seven more projects, making a grand total of $896,025 worth of grants, to help various groups in Cowichan Station, Nanaimo, Parksville, Port Alberni, Cherry Creek, Ahousaht and Ucluelet as well as Lake Cowichan. “Community centres, parks, trails, and other public spaces contribute to the strength of our communities, and by helping to renew them we are ensuring that they remained useable for years to come while creating jobs and economic growth,” Duncan said. The other Valley project saw the Cowichan Station Area Association receive $46,000 to renovate the exterior of their community centre, the Hub. “Our government’s top priority is the economy. It remains focused on delivering

[LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] programs that have lasting and positive impacts on both small towns and big cities,” Duncan said. Facilities such as Centennial Park in Lake Cowichan are the foundation of communities, bringing families and residents together for recreational activities, he said. “There is however room for improvement so I’m pleased to announce that our government will invest $500,000 in upgrades to the park.” The Town of Lake Cowichan will “make improvements to the existing sports facilities at Memorial Park by installing field lighting, pathways and fitness stations in

addition to new landscaping. They’ll also repair the dugouts, gravel and field material, irrigation systems, nets and bleachers,” Duncan said adding, “I look forward to seeing the result of this investment and the benefits that will surely come with it.” Lake Cowichan Coun. Tim McGonigle, who acted as MC thanked Duncan for the funding, noting that the Lake was getting the largest grant by far of all the ones announced. “It’s been a long time coming,” he said, pointing out that he himself is in his fifth council term waiting for it. “We look forward to the finished product.”

Mayor Ross Forrest, who’s in his third term, agreed. “Isn’t this exciting?” he said. He thanked some members of Lake Cowichan Minor Baseball for coming to the event at short notice. “These players are going to be the real beneficiaries of the finished product down the line. They’re not going to have to go to Duncan when they are finished playing ball here [at the Little League park]. They’ll be able to continue to play here. It really is good news. Like Tim says this is a long time coming. Every year Minor Baseball comes to council and asks for improvements on the field and we all know about the drainage issue down below. “We had been sinking money into it but we were beating a dead horse there. So we’ve consistently said that we had to wait until we got additional funding and then we would step forward with funding of our own to make a field that we’ll all be very proud of again,” Forrest said. “We’re very excited for this opportunity. It’s going to be great for the community, to enhance it back to the standard we deserve here.” He thanked Duncan for the federal government’s decision to fund the Centennial Park upgrades. “I can’t wait for the finished product. It will probably be about two years in the works but that’s fine. It will be well worth the wait and I know these guys will all be excited to play on it. I also want to thank our administrator and staff for putting together an application that was obviously successful. We’ve tried hard for a long time and a lot of work went into it,” Forrest said.

Municipality warning of algae bloom in Somenos Lake

Tree on lines knocks out power to over 2,000 hydro customers

Keep your pets away from Somenos Lake. Municipality of North Cowichan staff say a blue-green algae bloom is visible at Somenos Lake near the Drinkwater Road fishing dock. “Lake visitors are advised to avoid areas near the visible blue-green sheen, which appears as surface scum on the lake,” said Ernie Mansueti, the municipality’s Parks and Recreation director. “Pet owners are advised to keep animals on a leash and to prevent them from drinking or swimming in the lake.” Cowichan Lake suffered a non-toxic algae bloom in May.

A tree down across wires was to blame for a hydro outage affecting 2,145 customers in the Valley last Friday morning. The juice stopped flowing just after 6:30 a.m. Most customers north of Indian Road, west of Meadow Park Road and east of North Road were affected for two hours or less. Later that evening, at about 7:50 p.m. birds coming into contact with wires were to blame for a small outage in the 4300-block of Neel Road. Power was restored to the less than five homes involved by 9:20 p.m. Sarah Simpson, Citizen

OUR VIEW

The problem with inflexible bureaucracies

nflexible bureaucracies strike again. This time at the expense of a pair of Canadian badminton players. Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng made news during the Pan Am Games, but not the way they had hoped. The pair were favoured to win the gold medal in their sport at the Games, but were disqualified before they ever set foot on the court. It wasn’t for bad behaviour or doping or anything nefarious. It wasn’t even for anything they themselves had done.

Badminton Canada, their sport’s governing body, had mistakenly entered them in another tournament scheduled for the same time period as the Pan Am Games. When players are signed up for two tournaments that are taking place at the same time they are automatically disqualified from both under a rule of the Badminton World Federation. So the athletes were denied the opportunity to stand on the top of the podium in their home country. But things have just snowballed from there, going from

bad to worse. Now that one error could cost Liu and Ng their chance to compete at next year’s Olympic Games. Not only did the pair lose out on earning the valuable qualifying points that they would most likely have come away from the Pan Am Games with, a major sponsor has pulled out because of it. This leaves the duo $40,000 short — an amount that means they’re now crowd funding to try to scrape together enough money to attend their next 18 tournaments to garner the points they need for Olympic

qualification. All for the want of a horse shoe nail, as the saying goes. It seems crazy that an administrative error could cost these athletes a trip to the Olympics — no doubt a lifelong dream. All sense of fairness rebels against this kind of outcome. But here’s the real rub. More and more of our systems seem to be trending in the direction of one-size-fits-all, iron fist, no appeal, zero tolerance. It’s simplistic, and appeals to the age of the soundbite. But our world and ourselves as human beings are complex and

This attempt to makes things fair by treating everyone and everything and every situation the same denies reality and has the opposite effect from what was intended. Exceptions are messy and human and sometimes they are the best possible outcome. Exercising judgement can be scary and imperfect. But it’s better than the alternative.

City of Duncan’s parking bylaw unfriendly Did you know that the City of Duncan has a new parking bylaw? I didn’t either until I got a parking ticket. I had stopped in downtown Duncan on a short errand late one morning and was back again later in the afternoon, parking in a different space. According to a new bylaw, once you are noted to be in the downtown, if you leave you cannot come back for at least 10 hours. That’s right — you cannot come into downtown Duncan on business more than once a day. Bylaw No. 3101.01, 2014, adopted on Dec. 22, 2014 states that in any city block controlled by a

parking limit, a vehicle cannot return to the same block within a 10-hour time period after the expiration of the original permitted time. They define city block as being north of Government Street, south of and including Ingram Street, east of Boundary Street and west of and including Canada Avenue and the train station parking lot. That’s a very large block. This bylaw was not publicized and there are no signs to warn people. Most of the people who come to downtown Duncan to shop don’t even live in the one square mile of the city. Certainly people from Chemainus or Lake Cowichan won’t know about Duncan’s bylaws. It needs to be posted.

The bylaw enforcement officer kindly said this time he would forgive the fine, but if it ever happens again then I will have to pay. I can guarantee it won’t happen again because I will no longer shop or dine or bring visitors to downtown Duncan. There are many friendlier places in the Cowichan Valley to take my business and my guests where I don’t have to guess at the parking bylaws. Suzanne Anderson North Cowichan

It’s about how we handle money. Everyone knows that if your cash flow is less (i.e. taxes), to balance your budget you cut your expenses. The record of the Harper school of economics worries me. They inherited a thriving economy with a $12-15 billion surplus. First they cut taxes by that $12-15 billion and went into a deficit which continued for the next eight years. Harper cut income before he cut expenses, leaving Canada with an additional $150 billion debt. Harper then cut Canada’s federal corporation tax to 15 per cent; the U.S. is 35 per cent. U.S. corporations pay 10 per cent tax on off-shore profits, Canadians pay zero. These tax cuts were to create jobs, yet we still have a shrinking manufacturing economy and the largest trade deficit in Canadian history. Other tax breaks that benefit 15 per cent of high-income earners have also failed to boost the economy as unemployment increased. Consequently, our civil service has been cut to the point where they can no longer adequately serve the public. Then came cuts to the Coast Guard, the RCMP and the military. The military cannot replace needed ships or planes, let alone look after our Afghanistan veterans. We haven’t enough money to establish a proper defence of the Arctic or even a single all-weather ice breaker, absolutely necessary for Arctic defence. Harper economics is about cutting income before cutting expenses, always resulting in deficit financing. Harper economics doesn’t work. David Hobson Chemainus

Transit inaction show contempt for public

Septic fields don’t make dumping okay In response to Mr. Brackenbury’s letter and comments re: Shawnigan Lake septic and the Shawnigan Residents Association, nobody denies that some septic fields leak, but that is in the purview of health agencies. The association is strictly volunteer, with no legal powers. Its budget comes entirely from its members. Campaigns cost money. As to the SRA feeling they are more qualified than both the Ministry of the Environment, and the Appeal Board, that is not so. When the association had questions, it hired professional scientists and used contributed professional engineers’ opinions, all of which indicated a serious problem with the SIA plan and chosen dumping site. Ours, and other lawyers, agree that the Appeal Board was wrong which is why the SRA launched a judicial appeal. The association would be happy to “hound” residents about their septic fields, and would be pleased to use Mr. Brackenbury’s contribution to the association to help pay for that campaign.

Kudos to St. John’s Anglican, First and Jubilee, who not only provided chairs for those watching the excellent Saturday parade, but also ice cold water, lemonade, and bathroom facilities in their church hall. People showed their appreciation by returning all the chairs after the parade finished.

BC Transit and the CVRD has once again shown open contempt for the vocal public. You people have lost sight of the fact that you are accountable to the public who is paying your salary. Your credibility has just taken another major hit with your “No Change Policy”. Mr. Henry Landry and Mr. Rick Lobb collected 350 signatures in favor of restoring the previous #7 route which you, in your infinite wisdom, dismissed. This is no different from how you ignored my petition regarding route #8 and #9 where 90 per cent of respondents where opposed to that change implemented in October 2014. I would like to know who in their right mind wants “more weekend trip times/frequencies” on these two routes? The meager ridership suggests the exact opposite. The concept of revenue neutral has come up several times in the past. If the transit system was actually revenue neutral, then there would be no need for a transit tax increase as we just experienced in our 2015 tax bills. In my opinion, the reason for the “No Change Policy” as demonstrated by BC Transit and the CVRD is for purely selfish reason. If any changes as suggested by the general public were implemented, that will lead to more changes and then the flood gates will open and the transit empire will crumble. A leaner and totally functioning transit system will emerge saving huge amounts of public funds. Large buses, “chauffeur driven limos catering to a few at the expense of all” as I call them, should not be cruising our streets hoping to find a passenger. That is exactly what is going on. So it all boils down to turf protection. Solution: replace large underutilized buses on many routes with fuel efficient mini vans.

Cyclists must know the rules of the road Bicyclists of the Valley unite! I recently began riding a bicycle in the Valley. I cannot believe the number of bicyclists that do not care and/or know the rules of the road. Get OFF the sidewalks and ride on the right-hand side of the road and/or use the bicycle lanes. Do not ride abreast. If your children are too young to know the rules of the road they should ride in a safer environment. People in vehicles take note. A bicycle has as much right to be on the road as an automobile. Lets all share our roadways.

SUMMER 2015 Arbutus Park, Youbou, BC

Cowichan Tribes members were celebrating Tuesday, July 28 as the Trestle and Wilson Road areas finally get clean drinking water after more than a decade of boil water advisories. It’s a project 35 years in the making and Chief Chip Seymour told a big crowd at the Trestle Road chlorination station that he’s personally known of the need since the 1980s. He explained that when he first began working for Cowichan Tribes he saw that the area “had concrete tanks that people walked to to get their water.” Although it’s taken a long time, Seymour said, “I look on this as a big success.” He thanked all the governments, agencies and companies involved and then praised the area residents for their patience in waiting so long. A ribbon cutting featured representatives from several of the governments involved. Years of collaboration by Cowichan Tribes, Chatwin Engineering, the City of Duncan, the Municipality of North Cowichan, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and many others have put an end to the boil water advisories by connecting to Duncan’s water system, installing a chlorination building, booster pump and 1,400 metres of water lines. It’s one of seven communities in Cowichan Tribes that have been on boil-water advisories for more than 10 years, Seymour said.

Youbou Regatta!

Chip Seymour, John Duncan, Phil Kent, Colleen Swords and Eric Magnuson cut the ribbon at the Trestle Road station. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] Vancouver Island North MP and Minister of State John Duncan praised the degree of collaboration he saw in the project. “Clean water is vital to a community’s well being. Improving water infrastructure for First Nations is a priority for our government,” he said. A clean water supply benefits the community, Duncan said, pointing out that not only does it increase the possibility of economic development, it also improves such down-to-earth necessities as fire protection. Duncan Mayor Phil Kent said his municipality only played a minor part in the project but he was personally delighted to see it completed. Access to clean drinking water should be a right, he said, adding, “it really shouldn’t have taken this much time,” especially since the area had such “sweet water” to offer.

a wave of projects. More are coming.” He also pointed out that although everyone at the event was celebrating clean drinking water, a companion sewer service was also being completed. There had been “many failed septic systems” that had had a serious impact on quality of life, he said. “We’re hoping the success we see today is a pattern we can take for new projects.” Some other speakers mentioned their happiness at seeing a long ordeal finally over as residents nearby had been unable even to brush their teeth with their tap water while others were looking forward to better health for the families nearby and still others offered thanks that some Tribes members had actually been employed on the project. Bosma also praised some of the nearby property owners who “gave up large tracts” of their land so the project could be completed. 7041914

Fire crews face ‘tough slog’ in bush AIRCRAFT, From Page 1

Tuesday night the Martin Mars water bomber made a total of six drops on the fire. According to Coulson Flying Tankers, the aircraft averaged drops of 21,600 litres for a total of 130,000 litres in about an hour and a half’s worth of work. “The turn times averaged 15 minutes per drop which was excellent with some eight minute drop cycles,” said the company’s update. “As there were other aircraft working on the fire we had to allow them the time to get clear prior to each drop. It was an example of great teamwork, working in tandem with the other aircraft.” A BC Wildfire Service unit crew — a group of 20 firefighters trained for ground work — was brought in on Wednesday. The fire grew from four to 10 to 16 hectares over the course of three days. By Wednesday afternoon, however, the Coastal Fire Centre confirmed the blaze was 20 per cent contained. “It’s burning up the slope but

they have a containment line on the bottom,” Drysdale said. Manpower was increased to 61 on the ground Wednesday and then upwards of 75 firefighters by Thursday. Heavy machinery and more tenders were also called for. Air support remained steady. “It’s quite the airshow I’ve heard,” Drysdale noted. Five helicopters of varied sizes were doing most of the work from the air, filling their buckets at nearby lakes. Air tankers are on standby but are not in the air after Tuesday, Drysdale explained. “When they have crews on the ground they don’t want to use air tankers because it means the ground crews have to pull back,” she said. “There have been no road closures, despite the rumour and speculation that’s been going around,” Drysdale said. “The fire is not threatening homes at this time.” No evacuation notices have been issued.

Levothyroxine is one of the top-ten prescribed drugs in Canada. It replaces what your own thyroid is not producing. The best time to take it is one hour before breakfast but this is sometimes difficult to do all the time. They key is to be consistent and take it the same time whatever that may be. Since thyroid levels are based on blood tests, the dose can be changed according to suit how you take it.

ne of the ways that antibiotics like penicillin kill bacteria is by attacking the cell wall of the infecting organism eliminating its ability to divide and multiply. The cell walls are like an outer skin that holds the bacteria together. Because our human cells don’t have cell walls, they aren’t affected by the antibiotic.

Poison Ivy: Even though the rash is not contagious, it can look terrible and be quite uncomfortable. Having had poison ivy before does not confer immunity. Protect yourself by wearing protective clothing like gloves, long sleeved shirts and long pants. If you do get exposed to it, wash it off with soap and water right away.

“It’s a lot of slash on the ground, it’s tough going so he doesn’t want to release a number until he hits it,” Drysdale said. “It’s just gruelling work, there’s no doubt about it. This type of fire, always when you’re in slash, the ground crews are just working so hard. It’s just a hard slog for them to get through this.” Lake Cowichan and Sahtlam Firefighters were called out to a reports of brush fire about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Initial 9-1-1 calls had dispatchers and local crews wondering if there were actually two fires burning. but investigation revealed the fire was just large enough to be seen from two different communities. Cowichan Valley volunteer firefighters quickly realized what they were dealing with, and the call went out to the BC Wildfire Service. Within an hour aircraft were circling overhead. Firefighters from the BC Wildfire Service worked through the night to combat the blaze which is about 10 kilometres east of Lake Cowichan. The first resources dispatched included two initial attack crews of three firefighters each, air tankers— including the Martin Mars — two BC Wildfire Service response officers, 10 contract fire fighters, two medium helicopters, and two water tenders, Drysdale confirmed. An industry representative and industry firefighters were also on scene and the landowner also brought in private crews.

Cowichan Aquatic Centre expanding fitness services SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

be the type aimed at preparing athletes for triathlons or body building competitions. That’ll be left to the private gyms. In 2009 council banned personal training at the facility after a significant outcry from private gym owners who were displeased the municipality was creating competition for them during such tough economic times. Times have changed, however, and there are more private gyms in the Valley now than back then, but council maintains the goal remains to not compete with the private gyms. “I really don’t think we as a municipality should be in the business of competing with the private sector that’s supplying and providing this type of service,” Coun. Al Siebring said. After further discussion with staff, he and other councillors learned the services would still leave plenty of room for the niche gyms to thrive. Coun. Kate Marsh was on board. “There are already apparently outside trainers going in and not saying anything

Patrons will soon benefit from enhanced services at the Aquatic Centre gym. [CITIZEN FILE] and they’re probably charging their clients and they’re using our equipment. I think other communities realize this is an important thing to offer and I think we should offer it, too.” But what exactly will be offered is still fuzzy. North Cowichan’s Parks and Recreation Director Ernie Mansueti tried to explain. “What we’re really trying to

do here is introduce people to recreation. We don’t want to train people to go in triathlons, that’s not what this is about,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is to be able to get people going in the right direction when they ask the basic questions. I think what we’re really trying to do here is keep it as introductory as we can.” He added it has the potential to benefit the private gyms as beginners improve and want to seek enhanced training elsewhere. “We’ll get them going to where they’ll want to go to do more stuff,” he said. Mansueti said 12 out of the 13 similar community facilities elsewhere on the Island provide personal training services — Comox does not but only because it doesn’t have the physical space. “We’re the only one on the Island that doesn’t provide this service for our patrons,” he said. Council will debate the level of services offered and the user fees attached to those at a later date.

they take over an area, they pose a threat to more delicate and rare native plant species. That’s why Katy Fulton wants to fight these invaders — not just by organizing efforts to pull out the invasive plants, but by gathering native plant seeds to help those species survive. Fulton, who works for the Nature Conservancy of Canada as its west coast coordinator of stewardship, knows how persistent blackberry and broom plants can be. But she’s even more persistent in her efforts to help restore natural areas in the Cowichan Valley. She explains that when a native plant population is struggling, invasive plants like blackberry and broom can easily take over an area. But if the native plants are healthy, it’s harder for invasives to put down roots or take hold. So this month, Fulton is rounding up a team of volunteers to collect seeds from native plants and grasses, which can be propagated at the plant nursery at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, and re-introduced to fight invasives in areas like nearby Maple Mountain. See LOCAL PLANTS, Page 15

The CVRD, in partnership with Cowichan Tribes, Municipality of North Cowichan and City of Duncan is currently pursuing an amendment that would move the existing treated sewage outfall from its current location in the Cowichan River to a new marine location in Satellite Channel. Over the last six months, stakeholders, community groups and the general public have contributed their valuable time to be part of the conversation. This input helped to guide where further technical study was needed and to identify a preferred option for moving forward with relocating the outfall. In partnership with

A final report on the consultation process, as well as a copy of the completed Environmental Impact Study, is available on the project website at www.cvrd.bc.ca/lwmp. The CVRD will continue working with Cowichan Tribes on final steps for completing the amendment, and take the steps needed to relocate the outfall. Thank you again to the community for participating in this important initiative.

HAPPY TIMES IN DOWNTOWN DUNCAN

Families enjoy the annual Children’s Parade down Kenneth Street during Downtown Duncan Days. For more photos from this event see cowichanvalleycitizen.com [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Local plants keep out aliens The idea is to introduce the new native plants, like native grasses and death camas, by both planting them and sprinkling seeds in areas that have been cleared, either by volunteers or through controlled burns. This gives the native species a fighting chance against invasives, which in turn helps the ecosystem recover from the invaders. “It increases our chances of not having to deal with invasives in the future,” said Fulton. Volunteers are invited to join the seed

collection efforts on Thursday, July 30, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The group will meet at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, on the back side at 1241 Maple Bay Rd. From there, they’ll carpool to the seed collection sites on Maple Mountain. Volunteers are advised to bring water, snacks and weather-appropriate clothing — and cameras to catch the view from the top. Gloves will be provided. For more information, email Katy Fulton at bc@conservationvolunteers.ca, or visit the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s website at www.natureconservancy.ca

Enthisiastic car folks flock to Lewis Street for the annual Warmland House Show & Shine fundraising event Saturday, July 25. With everything from the muscle cars of the Swinging Sixties to British sports cars to interesting vehicles from the 1940s, there was lots to see. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Half a life to go: what happens next? Shaw film

Genevieve Charbonneau, Wild Sundays in the park

A film titled When I’m 64 airing on Shaw TV Wednesday, July 29, 10 p.m. and Saturday Aug. 1, 9 p.m. is all about that burning question: when more than half your life is behind you, what happens next? The answer is: expect the unexpected! Six actresses — Vivien Douglas, Pat Foster, Elaine Hanson, Lynn Hodge, Kirstin Humphreys, Louise Salter — are featured with rocker Sue Medley, portraying women who face life gamechangers with humour, vulnerability, and resilience. A 90-minute stage play of this show twice sold out in live productions. Interested? Have a sneak peek on YouTube to Behind the Scenes.

The next show in the Summer Nights series at the Central Park bandshell in Lake Cowichan is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1. From 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. there are kids’ activities and an open stage followed at 7 p.m. by the two-hour main show, featuring Genevieve Charbonneau and The Wild Sundays. Summer Nights is a free, family friendly evening of fun and entertainment held right beside the main road in Lake Cowichan so it’s easy to find. Whether you’re a summer visitor or a local, why not bring lawnchairs and settle into this pretty riverside park for a great time outdoor? There’s even a food concession this year.

Historical Society is literally making history. Three years ago this event attracted 700-plus votes from the public for their favourite scarecrow figure. This year, nearly 3,000 votes were cast from the visiting public. An enthusiastic crowd of locals and tourists attended the wrap-up activities, awards ceremonies and barbecue and it was

evident from their participation that they would like this event to continue next year. A special thanks goes to all the participants, sponsors and the voting public for helping put Mill Bay on the map. Anyone who missed seeing these figures can see photos at www.MillBayMalahatHistory. com or be sure to come out next year when the Good Old Daze are here again.

The federal NDP’s Finance critic, Nathan Cullen, was in Duncan last week, meeting with local candidates and laying out the party’s jobs plan. [SUBMITTED] • NDP Finance critic Nathan Cullen and NDP candidates Sheila Malcolmson (Nanaimo-Ladysmith) and Alistair MacGregor (Cowichan-Malahat-Langford) laid out Tom Mulcair’s plan to create quality jobs on Vancouver Island while protecting the environment in Duncan on Tuesday afternoon. “On Vancouver Island and the coastal region, we’ve lost 68 forestry mills and 6,800 wood and forestry jobs between 2001 and 2013,” said Cullen. “That’s why the NDP has a plan to create good jobs by kick starting manufacturing, helping small businesses, investing in renewable energy and investing in strong community infrastructure.” “An NDP government will create an innovation tax credit to encourage investment in machinery and equipment used by manufacturers and sawmills,” said Malcolmson. “We’re committed to reducing raw log exports. The NDP will work to develop our resources here at home, in our local communities — and this will create jobs.” “Over 200,000 more Canadians are out of a job now than before the 2008 recession — a total of 1.3 million unemployed,” said MacGregor. “That’s why Tom Mulcair’s NDP will also cut the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent to provide immediate relief. This concrete measure will support growth, create jobs and help middle-class families on Vancouver Island get ahead.” • The Telus Community Action Team has donated $750 to the Cowichan Intercultural Society’s Multicultural Leadership Group. The Multicultural Leadership Group began in 2008 as a way for youth to volunteer at the North American Indigenous Games. Since then, it has continued with the tradition of volunteering, community building, and leadership initiatives. Each week, youth and adults of all ages, cultures, faiths and identities join together to learn leadership skills and contribute to the community. It is a way for youth to connect with diverse and intergenerational community members to build community connections, mentorship opportunities, and partnerships with community-based projects hosted by other non-profit organizations in the community. It’s one of the Intercultural Society’s 18 community service programs. “When I first started going [to the Leadership Group], it was a big change,” said one youth participant. “I went from being a one-person self to being part of group discussions and activities. It was like a culture shock experience. A few years in, I find myself being more involved with day to day activities. I am now part of the Youth Caregivers Society and I am now more involved with school activities, such as school presentations. This has changed me as a person. [When my picture] got in the paper in an article about the Multicultural Leadership Group I felt proud and realized that I am not only making a difference in myself, I’m making a difference in my community, and I’m being recognized for it.”

Smoked Sausage Kebobs

Creamy Asiago Mini Naan Pizzas Directions: 1. Preheat barbecue to mediumlow heat. 2. Place naan rounds on work surface. Spread 1 tbsp (15 mL) dip over one naan leaving 1/2inch (1 cm) border around edges; repeat with remaining naan. 3. Arrange 2 to 3 tomato slices on each naan; top each with some shallots. Season with pepper. 4. Place naan rounds carefully on grill; cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until shallots are tender and light golden and naan is crisp with grill marks. Transfer to serving platter; top with arugula. Serve immediately.

“Serve these Creamy Asiago Mini Naan Pizzas as a quick and easy appetizer at your next backyard barbecue,” recommends Chef Tom Filippou, Executive Chef for President’s Choice Cooking School. “Get your guests involved by setting up a selection of toppings and having them create their own pizza before popping them on the grill.”

Ingredients: • 6 PC Whole Wheat Naan Rounds • 6 tbsp (90 mL) PC Artichoke & Asiago Dip • 3 PC Cocktail Tomatoes, thinly sliced • 1/3 cup (75 mL) Very finely sliced shallots • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) Freshly ground black pepper • 1 cup (250 mL) PC Organics Baby Arugula

Sausages are perfectly designed for the kebob, and Piller’s corporate Chef D provides a tasty glaze to make a barbecue sensation.

Ingredients

Paprika Glaze:

• 1 pkg. Piller’s Knackwurst Sausage, cut in 1” pieces • 1 large red bell pepper, cut in 1” squares • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut in 1” squares • 1 large green bell pepper, cut in 1” squares • 1 large red onion, cut in 1” squares • 6 wooden skewers • grilling spray

• 20 ml (1 ½ Tbsp.) olive oil • 5 ml (1 tsp.) smoked paprika • 2 ml (½ tsp.) salt • 2 ml (½ tsp.) pepper Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Combine olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spit sausage, peppers and onion onto skewers and brush with paprika glaze. Spray grill and preheat to medium heat. Grill kebobs until sausage is grilled and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

Belly Dancing & Costumes - Many experts say belly dancing is the oldest form of dance, having roots in all ancient cultures from the orient to India to the mid-East. Probably the greatest misconception about belly dancing is that it is intended to entertain men. Thoughtout history, this ritualized expression has usually been performed for other women, generally during fertility rites or parties preparing a young woman for marriage. In most cases, the presence of men is not permitted.

Belly dancing is natural to a woman’s bone and muscle structure with movements emanating from the torso rather than in the legs and feet. The dance often focuses upon isolating different parts of the body, moving them independently in sensuous patterns, weaving together the entire feminine form. Belly dancing is generally performed barefoot, thought by many to emphasize the intimate physical connection between the dancer, her expression, and Mother Earth.

Ryan Jordan 1980~2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jason Ryan Jordan. Jason was born on March 17, 1980 and he was taken from us long before his time. He was a dedicated and loving husband and father. He was the kindest, most compassionate, sweet person you could meet and he had the biggest heart.

Ron McBride

January 26th, 1940 - July 13th, 2015 On July 13th 2015, at 300am at Victoria Hospice, I lost my best friend and soul mate of 27 years to cancer. Ron fought long and hard but at the end the cancer won. Ron McBride was born on Jan 26th 1940 in Belleville, ON to Mary and Clinton McBride, both deceased. He is survived by his two Sons, Jay Edwin McBride(Annemarie) their two children Jylz and Jet, Marty Joseph McBride(Erica) and daughter Stella, his wife Natalie, her two daughters Brigitte and Christina. Ron graduated from Queens University (BA, BPHE) and from Niagara University , (MSc.) He was an Educator, Hospital Director and Business Owner in Ontario. His great passion was sailing, tennis and hiking and being outdoors in nature. His greatest joy was visiting his grand children in Ontario. In 2006 Ron and Natalie retired to the West Coast to a slower paced life, lived on Salt Spring Island for six years and then moved to Chemainus on Vancouver Island. These were happy times for both of them. They made long lasting friends both on Salt Spring Island and in Chemainus. He will be sorely missed. A private ceremony will be held in Belleville, Ontario for Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interment.

Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the ripple on the ocean I am the sunlight on a beautiful day I am the gentle autumn rain I am the soft star that shines at night I am not there....I did not die

Balbir â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sukhminderâ&#x20AC;? Kaur Nijjar June 21, 1947 - July 6, 2015 Our beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Born in Pawadra, India on June 21, 1947 she married Amarjit Singh Nijjar and came to Canada in 1969 settling for most of her life in the Cowichan Valley where her charming personality attracted a large network of friends and family who loved her dearly. She moved to Burnaby in 2003 where again her caring personality endeared her to all who knew her. She passed away peacefully on July 6, 2015 at Burnaby after a very short but courageous battle with cancer. She will always be remembered for her: amazing strength, hard work ethic, beautiful smile, fun loving personality, genuine and infinite love for all family and friends, positive outlook, and her strong faith in God. She is predeceased by her parents Gurbax Singh and Surjit Kaur Dosanjh, and her brother. She is survived by her husband, her son and two daughters and their respective spouses, three grandchildren, and her sister and brother. Thank you to all those who have supported the family during this difficult time. Mom, you will always remain in our hearts.

He married Jill in 1986, retired in 1992, and moved to Duncan, Vancouver Island in 1993.

SHARYL DENICE PATTERSON FEBRUARY 11, 1959 ~JULY 27, 2015 It is with heart-wrenching sadness that we announce the passing of Sharyl. She leaves her soulmate and best friend Jim; mother Dianne (Dr. Steve) Kleinman; daughter Janelle (Mike) and grandsons Graison, Jayden and Nolan; son Nick (Carly) and grandsons Rylan, Braeden and Jessie; son Brad (Fiji) and granddaughter Isabel; son Mat; brothers Steven (Debbie), Kevin (Debbie) and Wade (Monica); mother-in-law Ina Patterson; sister-in-law and brothers-in-law; and numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and friends. With her family by her side Sharyl was taken from us far too soon, but brave and determined she fought a hard battle with courage, grace and dignity. Sharyl was born in Revelstoke, raising her family in Shawnigan Lake which is where she met and married the man of her dreams. For the last 14 years Sharyl and Jim have been inseperable, sharing everything in life together. Sharyl loved her family and friends. Spending time with them was what she enjoyed most - times spent at the cabin on the Cowichan River, and packing up the camper and the dogs to head out on hunting, fishing and ATVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ing adventures with Jim! Her bright and cheerful demeanor and kindness to everyone set the tone for family get-togethers and we will all hold those treasured memories dear. In addition to her love for Jim and her family, Sharyl had the ultimate soft spot for dogs. She had many beloved furry family members and bred English Springer Spaniels for 35 years. She also shared her love of dogs with other families through her work for the past 13 years operating McMuttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dog Grooming. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr.Ron Pukey , Dr Klopper, Dr Masuta and all of the palliative health care team for their care and compassion - lifting Sharylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirits, giving her the gift of hope and sharing with her the value of enjoying every day to the fullest. In her memory - letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all take a page from Sharylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book and be reminded to be kind to one another. A Celebration of Sharylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at the Mill Bay Community Centre (beside Kerry Park Recreation Centre) on August 8th, 2015 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Canadian Red Cross which provided excellent support to our family over the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Just Have Funâ&#x20AC;?.

Mustangs sneak into bantam provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

They may have done it the hard way, but the bantam AAA Cowichan Valley Mustangs are heading to the provincial championships. “We snuck into the tournament,” assistant coach Tod LeSergent said. To get into provincials, the Mustangs had to be one of the top two at an eight-team, double-elimination wildcard tournament, which culminated with a thrilling game against the Nanaimo Pirates this past Monday. The Mustangs put themselves in a tough spot right off the hop by losing their tournament opener 4-2 to host Aldergrove. “To get that first loss in a double knockout is pretty tough, but we came back all the way through the back door,” head coach Lorne LaFleur said. The Mustangs kept their hopes alive by beating Vernon 4-2 in the next game behind the pitching of Billy Ramwell. “We started hitting the ball,” LaFleur said. “In our first game, we weren’t bad either, but their pitcher threw a really good game against us.” Things kept rolling along as the Mustangs went on to defeat Richmond 13-4 as Brady Radcliffe pitched a complete game. Because of the double-knockout format, Cowichan ended up facing Aldergrove again, in a game both teams were desperate to win. No one scored through the first seven innings, so it went to extras. Radcliffe led off the top of the eighth with a double, and Cam LeSergent laid down a bunt to get him home. The next three

After getting into the provincials thorugh the back door, the Cowichan Valley Mustangs are hoping to surprise the rest of the field. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] batters went out, and Aldergrove had their chance to hit. Gavin Pringle, who pitched the first seven innings, went back to the mound and sent the next three batters off to secure the victory. “Gavin threw a gem,” LaFleur said. “In both his and Brady’s games, the boys pitched really well.” As the score showed, both teams were also nearly perfect on defence behind their chuckers. “It was an awesome game,” Tod LeSergent said. “Both teams were saying that afterwards as we shook hands.” Just before their last game of the tournament, the skies opened up, covering the fields with water.

Vancouver had already clinched one of the wildcard berths, so it was down to Cowichan and Nanaimo. The teams agreed to play the next day in Nanaimo. As planned, Cam LeSergent went to the hill and pitched a complete game for a 4-2 victory as the Mustangs earned the last provincial berth. The teams each scored once in the first inning. Nanaimo took the lead with one run in the bottom of the third, but Cowichan got that one back in the top of the fifth, then went ahead for good with two runs in the top of the seventh. “T he boys were excited,” LaFleur said. “We were excited. They just played really well.”

The Mustangs went 11-19 during league play this year as some of the younger players adjusted to the bantam AAA level, but things have picked up down the stretch. “It’s been a team effor t,” LaFleur said. “A few of the senior guys were doing the heavy lifting in the early part of the season. Seeing some of our potential and how close we were to everyone else in the league, in the last month it’s been coming together. We’re peaking at the right time.” Defensive errors were the team’s Achilles heel early on, but they’ve clearly turned that around with some zero-error games recently. “That’s really an accomplishment for kids this age, when you

can go out with 13-, 14-, 15-yearold kids and not make any errors,” LaFleur said. The Mustangs will be one of 10 teams at the provincial championships in White Rock this weekend. The field is split into two divisions, playing a round robin with the top two teams from each division advancing to the playoffs. LaFleur feels good about his team’s chances. “ We ’ ve p l ay e d e ve r yo n e already,” he noted. “The majority of teams there we can beat and we have beaten this season. The goal is always to come out victorious. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think we can make the playoff round.”

Grass Court Championship survives a day of rain KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Rain last Friday forced organizers to move a few matches indoors, but the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club still managed to get the 128th Vancouver Island Grass Court Championship completed in the sunshine the next day, which was a good thing, because it ended up raining again on Sunday. Despite the rain on one day, tournament director Charles Ayers was pleased with the tournament as a whole. “It went very well, although the entry list was on the low side,” he said. “Everybody seemed pretty happy about it.” Entries were around 115 this year, Ayers noted, down from about 130 last year, and 200 when the event was at its largest. That seems to be following a trend. “Most senior tournaments seem to be down a bit,” Ayers said. Competitors came from across

Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Interior of B.C., as well as Washington and Oregon. “The Americans always come up, but there were less than usual,” Ayers noted. Ayers expressed his gratitude to the efforts of the SCLTC groundskeepers, as well as club pro Art Hobbs and his wife Rita, who manages the club. “Those were the bits and pieces that make it work well,” he said. Winners of the individual events were: Mixed 100 combined doubles: Richard McMichael and Johane Mui Mixed 120 combined doubles: Dave Tooby and Debbie Harit Mixed 135 combined doubles: Allan Gale and Lynne Cowan Men’s 45 singles: Tim Hopper Men’s 45 doubles: Geoff Bourne and Steven Klees Women’s 45 singles: Johane Mui Women’s 45 doubles: Debbie Harit and Kim Rogers

Men’s 55 singles: R anjan McArthur Men’s 55 doubles: Art Hobbs and Richard McMichael Women’s 55 singles: Aidrienne Avis Women’s 55 doubles: Judith Clarke and Carol Ann O’Brien Men’s 60 singles: Alan Osborne Men’s 60 doubles: Ken Babcock and Alan Osborne Women’s 60 doubles: Elly McKeague and Barbara Skillings Men’s 65 singles: Tom Gunton Men’s 65 doubles: Tom Gunton and Dave Tooby Women’s 65 singles: Jean Martin Women’s 65 doubles: Sheila Anning and Lynne Cowan Men’s 70 singles: Michael Stone Men’s 70 doubles: Allan Gale and Alan Robinson Men’s 75 singles: Peter Lamb Men’s 75 doubles: Alan Robinson and Peter Wilson Next up for the club is the 27th Biondo Junior Grass Court Championships on July 31-Aug. 3.

Cowichan Valley Citizen

Valley athletes suiting up for BC rugby teams in Kelowna and Ontario KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Several young rugby players with roots in the Cowichan Valley will be busy this weekend as they don Team BC kits for several games against teams from other provinces. The Valley will be represented on two different teams at the Western Championships in Kelowna as B.C. provincial teams take on squads of players selected from across the Prairie provinces. The Western Championships replace the National Championships of previous years, although players from the Westerns will be invited to national team camps and West vs. East competitions. B. C.’s U 1 8 wo m e n’s s i d e will include Brentwood College players Avi Sharabi, Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Delaney Martin and McKenna Haz, and Emily Lindsay, Hannah Morten and Mariah Fontana from Cowichan Secondary. The U16 men’s team will include Shawnigan Lake School students Jim Newman and Jonny Hodgkins, as well as

Brentwood’s Harrison Hooke.

Duncan ballplayers find a way to provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

By going above and beyond in their commitment to baseball, two Duncan ballplayers and one from Chemainus have given themselves a very good chance at winning a provincial championship. Caleb Ba ttye and Cullen Plester played their house ball this spring in Duncan, but when Duncan Junior Baseball didn’t have a peewee A team for summer baseball, they headed north to Ladysmith to join the 49ers. Dru Wright from Chemainus did the same thing so he could keep playing in the summer. For Battye, it helped that he knew the Ladysmith coach, Shawn Freer, who helped his dad, Bryn Battye, guide the Duncan mosquito AAA team — which included Caleb — to the 2014 provincial title. An outfielder and pitcher, Battye is in his eighth year of baseball, and says that playing for Ladysmith instead of Duncan is “not really” all that different. Plester returned to baseball this year after taking four years off to play lacrosse. “I missed it a little bit,” the second baseman and left fielder admitted. Although he wasn’t playing baseball during that time, he was always around the diamond because his older brother, Hayden, still played.

Duncan’s Cullen Plester and Caleb Battye are headed to Surrey with the Ladysmith 49ers for the provincial championships this weekend. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Asked what he likes about b a s e b a l l , C a l e b r e s p o n d s, “Everything.” Chided a bit by his mom to provide a better response, he can’t. “It’s the only answer,” he says. The 49ers easily won their zone tournament in Victoria last weekend, mercying their opponents in all three games. The team wins because it is solid from top to bottom, the Duncan players say. “Everybody is good at their positions,” Plester said. “They know how to play them. And everybody can hit. There’s no

easy out on our team.” The 49ers will head to Surrey this weekend for the provincial championships, where they will be the only Island representatives. They are confident they can bring back the gold, having mercied Abbotsford at a tournament in Victoria two weeks ago, and held their own in an exhibition game against Nanaimo’s AAA team. “I think the boys will show very well,” Cullen’s mom, Sue Plester, said. “It’s a strong team. They have a lot of depth, a lot of pitching.”

Thunder take aim at B.C. championship KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

It came as little surprise when the Cowichan Valley Thunder outscored the Juan de Fuca Whalers 43-8 in the Island intermediate B lacrosse finals. The true test is yet to come as the Thunder head to the provincials in Langley this weekend. The Thunder came home from last year’s provincial tournament with the silver medal, but head coach Lorne Winship believes this edition is better than that, with most players in their second year of intermediate lacrosse, and a bunch of players who have played at the A level, and even more who could play at the A level. Although he hasn’t seen the other teams in the tournament Winship expeects big things from his squad. “I know the competition will be better [than on the Island], but I think our team is stronger than it was last year,” he said. “We have a chance to do well over there.” Winship’s teams have always have excellent powerplay units, but even he is impressed with the guys he can put on the floor with the extra man. “Our powerplay unit is as

GCFP falls one run short in bid to retain fastball title

“I’m excited to go to Langley to see where we’re at.”

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Just one hit separated the Gord Closson Forest Products Fastball Club and Wheatsheaf in the second game of the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League championship series in Cedar last Thursday. Unfortunately for GCFP, the defending champions, that hit was a home run, giving Wheatsheaf a 1-0 victory and a sweep in the best-of-three series. GCFP had three hits on the evening, and Wheatsheaf had four. All the scoring in the game came on one hit: a leadoff home run in the second inning. “They played a good game,” GCFP manager Joe DiLalla said. “We played a good game. The wrong team got the home run.” Dan Whiteford went 1-for-2 with a walk, while Marty Steen and Craig Snyder were both 1-for-3. Snyder also put forth yet another brilliant pitching performance, striking out 10 over six innings while giving up just four hits and the one run. “It was a good game,” DiLalla said. “We were right there the whole way. We had our chances.” The Duncan team won eight of

strong as I’ve ever had in all my years coaching,” he said. “They could all be playing at the inter A level.” In fact, Winship has been told by folks in the know that his team could run with the bottom third of the inter A league. The Thunder should be missing only one regular player this weekend as Corwin Trent is unavailable, but Winship has a deep roster to draw from. “We’ve certainly got enough guys to fill the gaps,” he said. As a bonus, the team will get Brandon (Skippy) Corby back from his summer job in Alberta, a big boost to the lineup who brings scoring and intangibles. “He gets loose balls better than anybody,” Winship said. The only way to really know how the team really stacks up is to take the next step and face the other top teams in the province. “I’m excited to go to Langley to see where we’re at,” Winship said.

GCFP’s Marty Steen keeps his balance after throwing out a Wheatsheaf runner during the first game of the NSMFL championship series at Waldon Park on July 21. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] 12 games in the regular season, with three losses and one default. They swept past Lantzville Pub in the first round of the playoffs before falling to Wheatsheaf in the final. All in all, DiLalla was pleased with the season. “We had a couple of new players, a couple of young kids filling in,” he said. “I think we’ll have more young kids next year. Last year was kind of a dream year. We had one of the best pitchers who ever played around here in Korey Garreau.”

That’s not to downplay the performance of Craig Snyder, who pitched every game, and nearly every inning, for GCFP, winning the league MVP award and just missing both the batting title and ERA title. “Craig did an amazing job all year,” DiLalla said. “He was a workhorse.” With the season now over, the team will turn its attention to organizing the Gord Closson Old Timers Fall Classic at Waldon Park on Aug. 22 and 23.
