Delores (Deedee) Brown also joined the search and are talking with Cowichan Valley Search and Rescue to see if they can also assist. Brown is described as a First Nations woman, approximately 168 cm (5 foot six inches) tall and about 58 kg (120 pounds). She was last seen wearing blue sweatpants and a black and white T-shirt. If you have seen Brown, or have any idea where she might be, contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or the band office on Penelakut Island at 250-246-2321.

Sunfest announces 2016 star LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Carrie Underwood is headlining Sunfest next summer. Within seconds of that announcement, made Saturday

just before superstar Keith Urban took the stage at the huge country music festival at Exhibition Park, music fans were excitedly sharing the news and making plans for 2016.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Carrie Underwood headline Sunfest 2016,” Sunfest spokesperson Emmalee Brunt said. See URBAN, Page 4 7041774

Friends and family are frantically searching for an 18-year-old Penelakut Island woman who has gone missing. Delores (Deedee) Brown was last seen on Monday, July 27, and Ladysmith RCMP are asking for the public’s help to find her. Brown lives on Penelakut Island, and was seen leaving the Island to go to visit her g randmother, who lives in Chemainus. Due to health reasons, Brown’s grandmother is unable to confirm if she arrived for her planned visit. Police, who were contacted on Wednesday, said that Brown has never gone missing before. “This is very out of character for Miss Brown, who has left behind her phone,” said Cpl Rick Frase of the Ladysmith RCMP. “Her family is very worried.” Community members have joined the family to knock on doors and search the shoreline without results.

Impaired driving suspected in serious crash SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Two men were rushed to hospital after what police are calling “a serious head-on motor vehicle collision,” Thursday morning. A Port Alberni man is under investigation for impaired driving causing bodily harm after driving his work van the wrong way on the Trans Canada Highway just north of Duncan. A North Cowichan/Duncan Mountie came upon the scene about 8:20 a.m., just moments after the impact occurred. “He attended the scene to find both vehicles smoking and having sustained extensive damage from what appeared to be a high speed head-on collision,” said a press release from North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. Police investigation revealed a southbound green Ford Windstar van driven by a 62-year-old Chemainus man has just passed the Green Road turnoff at highway speeds when he was struck by the commercial vehicle coming the other way. “Preliminary inquiries with witnesses and examination of scene evidence is indicating ear-

ly on that there was no warning to the driver that he was about to collide with a van going the wrong way, in his lane,” said the release. Police believe the Port Alberni man entered the Trans Canada Highway at some point south of Green Road and turned left instead of right. “There is no indication that he was aware that he was going the wrong way.” The Windstar driver was taken to the Cowichan District Hospital but later transferred to Victoria General Hospital for further treatment of serious chest injuries and leg injuries. The driver of the commercial van was treated for his injuries at Cowichan District Hospital and will now have to answer to police. “We would like to thank the witnesses who stopped and offered aid at the scene prior to the ambulance arriving,” Hobday said. She said June 31 marked the end of Impaired Driving Awareness Month. “We are hoping the message is getting out to the motoring public that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have catastrophic consequences.”

Tritt and Johnny Reid thrilling tens of thousands of fans. Now, with the signing of Underwood — a multiple Grammy winner renowned for her great voice and sweet Southern style, the festival is kicking it up another notch. Many changes were made to Sunfest this year, in response to the massive number of campers on the site and the severe drought. A huge difference from 2014 was a successful recycling and garbage clean up campaign, which was needed after last year, when organizers found a large amount of garbage left when the campsites were vacated. This year, they were able to post pictures on Facebook at 10 a.m. on Monday showing large areas already cleaned up as campers departed Exhibition Park. And now, Sunfest is on the move again, as organizers have decided to purpose-build a venue on their own, bigger piece of land — property just off Highway 18 in the Meade Creek area west of Lake Cowichan. The posting of a sign near the old sand drags site announces that a new facility called LakeTown Ranch is now looking for rezoning approval. The owners of LakeTown Ranch have applied to the CVRD to amend the Official Community Plan and rezone the property to create an outdoor amphitheatre and destination campground. A meeting at 8811 Youbou Rd. has been scheduled for Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m., according to a poster on the signboard, which also says, “We welcome all neighbours of the area to join us on site to learn about our proposal and allow us to address any questions you may have.”

“We’ve wanted a female headliner on our bill for many years and cannot wait to host one of the most influential women in music right here on Vancouver Island,” said Brunt Sunfest just continues to grow and grow. This year, with Urban leading the way, in a lineup that included Lee Brice, Joe Nichols and Thomas Rhett, the showcase attracted more than 50,000 people to the four day festival. It’s a celebration that’s been years in the building. From its start at Providence Farm the big show moved to Avalon Acres before finding a home at the Cowichan Exhibition. From the early days when acts such as Spirit of the West and Tom Cochrane ruled the stage, the festival changed direction to become Sunfest Country, showcasing the very best of country music with names such as Tim McGraw, Travis

Wildfire burning in Copper Canyon

Duncan panhandlers a safety concern: officials

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

While the Skutz Falls Fire is still considered active as of Tuesday morning, crews have it 100 per cent contained according to the Coastal Fire Centre Fire. Fire Information Officer Donna MacPherson did note, however, that a second fire was discovered along the Copper Canyon Mainline (Hill 60) on Aug. 2. That one is not an offshoot of the Skutz Falls fire, MacPherson stressed, but a second, completely separate human-caused fire. The blaze, just seven kilometres northeast of the Skutz Falls fire, has been mapped at seven hectares in size. It was hard to map at first because smoke was heavy in the area. It made its way down to the Duncan area, worrying some residents that the Skutz Falls fire had spread. “The Skutz Falls fire has stayed stable,” MacPherson said. “It was burning a little bit more actively yesterday [Monday] afternoon but it was in the middle of the fire. The perimeter didn’t move at all so that’s good news.” The Copper Canyon fire was 50 per cent contained as of Tuesday morning and a helicopter, three water tenders, and one piece of heavy equipment joined a crew of 33 firefighters on the ground to fight it, MacPherson said. “They’ve been working pretty hard on it,” she added. Unlike the Skutz Falls fire, which is burning up a hill, the Copper Canyon one is burning at the top of a hill, which is helpful MacPherson explained. “It has a tendency not to move as opposed to being at the bottom of the hill when it has a tendency to go up it,” she said. Having resources in the area working the Skutz fire was also fortunate. “We watch the weather pretty carefully and that gives us an indication of how quickly a fire could grow,” MacPherson said. “It’s not like we were robbing one or the other, we just had a lot of resources around.” Once the fires are out, attention will turn more heavily on finding the causes and possibly prosecuting those responsible. “We do our best to try to identify whoever did it,” MacPherson said. “Our first focus always is on the fire.” She said often the fire’s origin is in the middle of the fire but crews work from the perimeter inward so while contained, the root takes a while to get to.

RCMP are working with Cowichan Tribes to curb panhandling activity in the greater Duncan area. Activity has increased with the warmer weather, police say. “Cowichan Tribes has concerns that were discussed at the council meeting in regards to the panhandling that is happening on the highway,” said Cowichan Tribes Chief William Seymour. “The first concern is in regards to the safety of the individuals that stand on the median to pander for money. Any time someone stands by a moving vehicle it is dangerous,” he said. “The second concern is that some of the panhandlers get aggressive and will not let someone go even when they are told no.” In some cases, officers have had to intervene and protect the panhandlers as well, according to a press release issued by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. Police actually have the ability to fine solicitors anywhere from $86 to $115 under the Safe Streets Act but at this Smoke fills the sky above the Skutz Falls fire. Crews are now focused on the Copper Canyon blaze. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] “At some point we would be able to make our way back into the fire and see if there’s any evidence that we could pursue.” Sometimes there’s not much to work with, but other times there’s more. A cigarette butt or campfire, for example, could be found and that would be the end of it, MacPherson explained. But other times there’s more evidence found and that would prompt a more detailed investigation. “If there’s something there where we think we could pursue a criminal charge, at that point we might involve other investigators and at that point it would be a much more stringent investigation than what our [internal] crews can do,” she said. Despite wild speculation online about the cause of the Skutz Falls fire, MacPherson did not reveal the source. “There’s an example of one that’s going to a more significant investigation,” she said. “Once it gets into that then no, we can’t comment.”

point they’re more concerned about everyone’s safety, said Hobday. “Standing on the median at Trunk Road and the Trans Canada Highway is not safe for the panhandler or the motoring public,” Hobday said. “It is a sure recipe for a pedestrian collision or a rear-ender. Contributing to this activity by making an offering only encourages the panhandler to come back tomorrow.” There are other ways to get help, the release said, and the RCMP are not unsympathetic. “The same individuals you see on the street with their hat in hand have the option to frequent the Cowichan Valley Basket Society (Duncan Food Bank) and other community resources,” said the release. “Cowichan Tribes offers food vouchers to those in need and The Welcome Centre has a breakfast program to mention a few.” Further resources can be accessed by working with the folks offering those services, too. “If members of the public would like to contribute to the food bank or other related charities, we encourage you to do that instead of tossing a Loonie into a hat at the street corner,” Hobday’s release said.

People not used to having fire in sight SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The Skutz Falls fire is unique because while still rural, it’s closer to larger population bases than some of the wildfires elsewhere in the province, according to Coastal Fire Centre Fire Information Officer Marg Drysdale. While she maintains that the flames shooting from the 10-hectare blaze are not an imminent threat to homes in the Lake Cowichan area, that no roads have been closed and no evacuation orders have been issued, Drysdale did say the proximity to people combined with the relative rarity of larger fires in the region does make for a lot of public interest. “We haven’t had the fires other areas of the province have had over the years,” she

said. “So people aren’t used to seeing fire on the landscape anymore, for the most part, and this is a highly visible fire and people can get to it and people can look at it.” The public is doing its part not to start fires and that has helped, she said. “People have been for the most part extremely cooperative, very careful and we are hoping to keep the number down. We’ve been just hammering home all the ways that people can help us out simply because that’s what makes a difference.” But buckle up, citizens, because fire season is just beginning. “It is hot, it is dry, it is only July,” Drysdale said last week. “And for Coastal, the fire season is generally the last two weeks of July and the month of August.”

OUR VIEW

Campaigns, official and not, getting too long

f people were paying even the slightest bit of attention to the news over the last week or so the early election call on Sunday wasn’t a surprise. In our last edition of the Citizen we had a story about two federal funding announcements as well as another story about a ribbon cutting on a project that had benefited from federal funding. We’d hazard a guess that most community papers had similar stories. We certainly got ample emails with times and places for such campaign stops. Because let’s

face it, that’s what they were. It was a veritable flood of attempts to buy your vote. MP John Duncan was the busiest guy on the Island last week. (And we’ve never loved that particular political manoeuvre: the ruling party always has someone from their own party announce when a community gets money from the Government of Canada or the Province of B.C., even when that representative is from well outside of the constituency. The current federal and provincial governments certainly didn’t invent the practice, but it’s one we’ve

never liked, no matter who’s doing it or how ingrained it’s now become in our public life. Our own representatives to those bodies should be doing the announcing, even if they’re not from the ruling party, because they were the choice of the people to form the government and to not let them do that job is an insult to the voters. But we digress). Stephen Harper said he called the official campaign early because campaigning was already underway. He’s right. We’ve had a number of cam-

paign-style stops in recent months from the NDP’s Tom Mulcair, for instance and from the Green Party’s Elizabeth May, in support to their parties’ local candidates. The Conservatives themselves have indisputably been campaigning with things like their child tax benefit cheques along with last week’s largesse. It’s a problem in Canada, and we see it even more pronounced in the U.S., that more and more of our government representatives’ time and money is spent on running for office rather than serving in office.

We’re being gouged at the gas pumps

Why are these big gas companies being allowed to charge such high gas prices when the price of a barrel of oil is down to $47 per barrel? In 2005 oil was at $50 per barrel and the price of gas at the pump was 82 cents per litre. Now oil is at $47 per barrel but the price of gas at the pump is still a whopping $1.24 per litre. That’s 42 cents a litre we are being gouged for and our useless government does nothing because the higher the price the more tax we pay. Are you as sick of feeding the big oil executives as I am? It’s about time our newspapers and media started doing their jobs and report on this travesty. Is there an organization doing something about this that we can join forces with and get some results?

That’s why we hope that the long campaign we are now embarking on will turn out to be an anomaly and not the new normal. It’s an exhausting marathon that makes it even harder than it already is for the average person to consider running for office. And none of us want to have to sit through the inevitable attack ads — which have already been running for months — any longer than we have to. At least on the local level we hope they keep respectful and informative.

Canadian leaders line up to start federal election race Barker/Harper bitumen agenda outdated Martin Barker’s vain attempt to justify the Conservative party’s obsession with diluted bitumen export misses one key point: Canada does not need to burden future generations with the costs of a one in 200 year oil spill in order to improve our standard of living today. The truth is that our decade and a half oil sands orgy has masked the hollowing out of the Canadian manufacturing sector, leaving the Canadian economy overly dependent on a high oil prices. As a small businessman, Mr. Barker should understand a diversified investment portfolio is the best long term approach to building wealth.

He should also know the same diversification principle holds true for developing a national economy. But sadly, his Conservative Party is still completely obsessed with expanding diluted bitumen export. It is baffling to me why he would support the Harper government’s agenda that would see us double down on the price of oil at a time when a low carbon global economy is at our doorstep. Investment in additional diluted bitumen export infrastructure is a gross misallocation of Canada’s human, environmental, and financial capital. What Canada needs a national industrial strategy that will unleash the creative potential of its citizens — not

condemn them to careers of fly in, fly out drudgery in extractive industries. To build our economy of the future, we need the exact opposite of the Martin Barker/Harper government agenda. We need federal support for research and development of new technologies and processes to maximize the value extracted in Canada per barrel of oil; we need federal support for new value added industries; we need a national renewable energy strategy backed up by federal investment supports and robust carbon pricing; we need major investment in public infrastructure and energy conservation retrofitting; we need reconciliation with First Nations; and we need long term supports for small

As the proud mother of a tattoo artist working in the nicest tattoo shop in the Valley, the kicker to the anti-tattoo editorial was the feeling of shame one is apparently supposed to experience as aging (sagging) skin alters the look of one’s tattoo.

Muni should walk the walk I find it pathetic that the municipality can water the boulevard grass and trees on Green Road every night even though we are on a stage 3 water restriction. The automatic sprinklers just turned on at 1:56 a.m. In Vancouver it is a $2,000 fine for watering your grass. Maybe the municipality should be fined the same amount for wasting water. Remember the grass goes dormant and will grow back. That is what they tell us residents who have to abide by the law. What makes them so special that they can get away with it? Kerie Evoy Duncan

Baby boxes aim to help keep babies alive SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Based on a 75-year-old Finnish program aimed at decreasing high infant mortality rates, Island Health has created the Cowichan Valley Baby Bed Program — an initiative to increase the awareness and practice of safe sleep for newborns. Until supplies run out during the pilot project, all women in the Cowichan Valley will be eligible to receive the baby bed, a sturdy box chock full of essentials for baby’s first months. Island Health Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Hasselback said the program gives the Health Authority the chance to educate moms to be about safe baby sleep habits. “On the back and on a firm surface,” he said. The box — a locally designed and custom made sleep space complete with a fitted mattress and sheet — is a safe place for babies to sleep close by, but not in bed with its parent(s). “It’s not that new,” Hasselback said. “It’s been in Finland for 75 years and they’ve been able to demonstrate how wonderful it is to provide a safe, appropriate sleeping environment for a baby. Cribs are great but they are often in another room. This brings an opportunity to have something that parents can have in the bedroom and not in the bed.” Inside the box is a mini baby shower for mom: blankets, diapers, clothing, towels, baby books, nursing pads and more. “Everything is there to provide for that transition along with a whole bunch of other goodies in the box that mom can benefit from during what is a pretty stressful time with everything else going on,” Hasselback said. First-time mom Amy Hamilton said the bed, and all of it’s included information

Amy and Matthew Hamilton and their daughter Savannah join Tara Muckle, Jay Campbell and their son Gabriel in showing off the new Island Health-issued baby bed during the program’s launch at the Margaret Moss Health Unit on Friday. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN] and products reaffirmed what she and husband Matthew Hamilton had been learning about safe-sleep for infants. “It was super nice, being a first time mom, I was like ‘I don’t even know what I need’ and when I got the box I was like ‘Oh, a little bit of everything, I’m good now!’” she said. Six-month-old Savannah Hamilton has since outgrown the box but she used to

nap in it, said the mom. “I felt safe having her in there,” she said. The box also came in handy when mom needed to use the restroom and when Savannah’s parents needed some place safe to put the baby while they ate. Portable, it can be moved from room to room and even over to Grandma’s house or to a friend’s place. Second-time mom Tara Muckle and first-

time dad Jay Campbell received their bed shortly before their nearly-three-monthold baby Gabriel Modeste was born. “I learned some stuff from my parents and friends but I learned some new things that you’re not supposed to do anymore,” Muckle said. She said in addition to the new information, the contents of the box were also helpful. “With all the stuff that’s in it, especially for a young mom that hasn’t had a baby before, it has the essentials that she may need and the baby may need,” she added. “There’s everything in there.” Sharon McLeod is due any day with her fourth baby. It’s her first baby bed, however. “I definitely already have a lot of stuff,” she said. But the one thing she’s borrowed in the past is an infant bed. This will fill that need. “We did learn that it was much handier to have the crib right there so close to the bed,” McLeod said. “We never had a bassinet, we didn’t think we needed one, but this is great for a newborn for sure.” Hasselback said even if the box isn’t used for a bed, the project will be a success if the program gets parents talking about, and practising, safe sleep. The infant mortality rate in the Cowichan Valley, and on Vancouver Island overall, has been higher than elsewhere in B.C., so the region was a good fit for the program. “It’s really exciting that we can pilot it here,” he said. Cowichan accounts for 10 per cent of deliveries on the Island in a given year — about 600 new babies. “It’s a reasonable test size,” Hasselback said. “If it works, which we kind of hope that if it does work, we can expand in the future.”

Pedestrian with a death wish TIM SCHEWE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

he collision counter on the DriveSmartBC website estimates 33 pedestrian deaths and 1,374 pedestrian injury collisions in B.C. to July 29, 2015. I almost added to that number driving in Vancouver last weekend and the incident still has me shaking my head. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that a pedestrian could be that stupid! I had stopped for a red light in the downtown area and intended to make a right turn. After the pedestrian signal went red and the people had crossed, I pulled across the marked crosswalk and stopped again where I could see cross traffic well. I found my gap and was about to proceed when I looked right and found a pedestrian right in front of me crossing against the light. He was busy with his cell phone and was wearing earbuds and never even looked at me as he walked around the car. He probably owes some of his good fortune to my wife who yelled and made sure that I hit the brakes before I drove over him. The courts say that we can expect to proceed as if other road users will obey the laws. What that really means is if I had hit this person, he would probably have been assessed most of the fault for the collision. However, he was there to be seen and I would have bourne some of the blame too. Thank goodness it never came to that! Police wrote only 210 tickets to pedestrians for failing to obey pedestrian signals in all of the province in 2014. It would appear that you have little risk of being called to account for this selfish behaviour.

Youbou Regatta features fun water challenges LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Family-friendly fun on the water is back again on the shores of Cowichan Lake. The annual Youbou Regatta is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8. Starting at 8 a.m. with a free breakfast at the Fire Hall, everyone then moves outdoors to find a spot to watch the parade, which starts at 10:30. The cavalcade is not long but colourful and it’s greeted with great enthusiasm. Once it’s gone by, the action shifts to Arbutus Park. The regatta began decades ago as a swimming event and water-

based events still make up a big part of the day, starting with the iconic Clarence Whittingham Memorial Quarter Mile Swim. Whittingham always took the swimmers out on his tug to start the race and the practice continues today as young and old take to the lake, diving from the tug boat and heading for shore as fast as they can. Later, in the water, there are canoe, kayak and paddle board races, swimming races for all ages, a whistle-splash-and-flip triathlon, the belly flop and cannon ball diving contests and the lifeguard relay. On land, there are also games

for kids, a three-on-three volleyball tournament, a chalk art contest and a watermelon eating competition before it all winds up with an awards ceremony at 4 p.m. A concession will operate from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and there is also music provided to add to the atmosphere. In the evening, back by popular demand, there’s an adult dance, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Youbou Hall, featuring the band, Clearcut. Tickets for this are $15 per person. Get them at the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena, Youbou Hall and Shop & Save in Youbou.

Water events are always a key component of the Youbou Regatta, drawing both entries and spectators. [CITIZEN FILE]

Shakespeare heads outdoors

YOUNG MUSICIAN OF THE WEEK

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

There’s love, wit, and tomfoolery at the Gem ‘o’ the Isle in Cowichan Station this summer. For the fourth year running, the Shawnigan Players are lighting up the outdoor stage at Gem o’ the Isle Farm in Cowichan Station from Aug. 12-16. This year, William Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It treats Valley audiences to a playful tale of young love, mistaken identity, and rustic country life. You’ll enjoy watching Rosalind, daughter of the downfallen Duke as she heads into the Forest of Arden fleeing her wicked uncle with her best friend Celia and Touchstone, the court jester. But things begin to happen when she disguises herself as a boy named Ganymede. Encountering her crush Orlando also hiding in the forest, she hatches a plan to test his devotion to her by offering to cure him of his love. While the courtiers blunder about the forest, the country folk marvel at their peculiarities, and love blossoms in unexpected ways under the trees. Shakespeare writes for everyone, so expect lots of colourful characters including wrestlers, goatherds, singers, and terrible poets in a show to delight the whole family. As You Like It is director Alex Gallacher’s fourth production at Gem o’ the Isle. Past summer productions at the Farm have included Pride and Prejudice (2012), Twelfth Night (2013), and 2014’s Romeo and Juliet, which went on to win Best

Talent winners take gala showcase stage LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

They couldn’t make the day originally scheduled but all the under-21 Duncan Has Talent winners were available Tuesday evening, July 28 so the annual windup gala was held before the event finished July 31. That worked out well because they were the ones who won the bursaries generously provided by the Duncan Lions Club from their Sassy Lion store funds. They also received keeper trophies. A big crowd came out to see them perform one last time. Duncan Has Talent started with the dancers but they were last on the tasty menu July 28. Third place songwriter Naomi Davies didn’t bring her guitar because she didn’t expect to be asked to play but she borrowed one and sang her song, Chasing Rain-

bows, again to open the show. She was followed by Adam Townsend, who placed second, performing The Sum of All High Hopes and finally the event winner, Patrick Dixon took the stage to reprise his song, Alien Prison Break. The next category to perform was cover/show tunes. Hana Khan (third place) kicked it off with Faithfully by Journey, followed by Mary McGill singing Radioactive by Imagine Dragons before the event winner, Kasper Cooper took the stage to present his stunning rendition of Josh Turner’s Your Man. Finally, the dancers stepped up. Katrina Van Boven (third place) performed Stars Align, Alora Killam reprised her dramatic presentation of Muan’s Decision and to end the show, Vance Driver performed Medusa Daze. Sporting a sharp new haircut, Vance Driver closes the annual gala with one of his signature moves. For more photos from the show see cowichanvalleycitizen.com [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Dressed in colourful silks and clinking with jewelry, belly dancers took over the CUPE stage at The 39 Days of July for what is becoming a summer tradition for many fans. Emcee Georgia Foster promised as many as 20 different performers and groups would entertain the big

crowd at Charles Hoey Park Tuesday, July 28. And entertain they did. The event was only for Cowichan Valley dancers but the numbers were still swelled by performers from Ladysmith and Thetis Island who, added to the central core’s own sisterhood, made it an evening to remember.

Fuller Lake hosts Island National champ Tuplin leads pickleball tournament local Summer Games cohort KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The sudden growth of the sport of pickleball hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Municipality of North Cowichan. Last year, the muni converted two old tennis courts at Fuller Lake Park into six outdoor pickleball courts, and residents have been quick to take to the sport. The six courts are among just eight dedicated pickleball surfaces on Vancouver Island — along with two on a former tennis court at Beban Park in Nanaimo — and next month, they will play host to the Vancouver Island Pickleball Championships. Pickleball has been around for about half a century, but it has surged in popularity in the last few years. “Pickleball is easy to learn but it can become a quick, fastpaced, competitive game for experienced players,” said Ken Holman, president of the Vancouver Island Pickleball Association. “It is a highly social game, bringing players into an environment where contact with others is a requisite part of the sport. Its benefits for exercise and as a social experience are unparallelled.” The sport is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The

court is the size of a badminton court, with a net similar to the one used in tennis and paddles slightly larger than those from table tennis. The ball is a plastic one with holes in it that travels about half the speed of a tennis ball. “And therein lies the appeal to Boomers who have embraced the game big-time,” Holman said. “Less court to cover compared to tennis, so easier on the ageing joints; slower moving ball, so easier to see and hit.” According to Holman, communities throughout North America, especially in retirement hot spots like California, Arizona and Florida, are trying to keep up with demand by replacing underused tennis courts with pickleball courts. A full-size tennis court can be turned into four pickleball courts. Holman anticipates even bigger things for the sport. “Look out,” he said. “When this sport gets introduced to the schools it will really take off”. The Vancouver Island Pickleball Championships will take place at Fuller Lake Park on Aug. 8 and 9, and spectators are welcome.

Aqua Ski Club event this weekend KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Victoria Aqua Ski Club’s annual novice tournament will be held at Shawnigan Lake this weekend. The competition will take place on Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 7 a.m. to ensure that there is flat water for the slalom events. The tournament is open to the public, with a concession and

silent auction. There is no cost to watch, but participant entry is $30 for one event, and $5 for each additional event. Categories this weekend include slalom, jump and trick. The VASC clubhouse is located off Munsie Road on the east side of Shawnigan Lake. For safety, the club hopes that boaters near the event will minimize their wakes while competition is taking place.

Golfer unfazed by older competition KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Bulldogs hit 50 years

Duncan’s Callum Davison continues to make a name for himself. [SUBMITTED]

Just 15 years old, Duncan golfer Callum Davison is giving older competitors a run for their money this summer. Davison finished third at the BC Junior Championships for golfers under 18 at the Osoyoos Golf Club’s Park Meadows course on July 7-10. He shot 74-68-64-72 to finish at 278, just three strokes back of Dewdney’s Jake Scarrow. Davison has now qualified for the Canadian Junior Championships in Montreal this week. Mill Bay’s Tristan Mandur was 11th overall, shooting 75-68-71-73 to finish at 287. Another Duncan golfer, Callan Rakimov, finished tied for 53rd in the field of 156 entrants. Mandur is based out of Arbutus Ridge, while Rakimov golfs out of the Cowichan Golf and Country Club. Davison also finished tied for 28th at the BC Amateur Championships in Oliver in a field open to any age. Dallas Jones of Ladysmith and Mount Brenton finished tied for 17th in Oliver, shooting 69-72-7876 for a total of 295, 17 strokes back of the winner. Davison was 21 strokes back and Colin Langley of Chemainus and Mount Brenton tied for 69th. Callum’s older brother Cam Davison missed the cut by one stroke, shooting 78-74 over the first two rounds.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY: Celebrations begin this weekend KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan Football’s 50th anniversary celebrations will kick off this Saturday with a tailgate party at McAdam Park. The festivities begin at 12:30 p.m., and all players, families and alumni are invited to join the party, including a barbecue and games. All current players registered for the fall 2015 season get a free lunch. “We encourage all alumni to come and be part of the celebrations this season,” Cowichan Football president Jennifer Lawrence. Further celebrations are planned for October. Keep an eye on the Bulldogs’ website at www.cowichanfootball.com

for more details. Prior to the tailgate party, the Bulldogs are holding a Football 101 clinic for players’ parents and other family members, run by the Bulldogs coaches. “This is a terrific opportunity for new parents and returning to learn more about the great game of football,” Lawrence said. “There will be both classroom and on-field time.” Practices for the Bulldogs’ fall 2015 bantam and midget teams have already started, and training for the peewee and junior bantam teams will begin soon. Registration is still open for players born between 1997 and 2006, and is available online at cowichanfootball.com

Bowler Addi Bentzen beats all challengers Addi Bentzen defeated all challengers to win the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club’s 70+ Singles Tournament on July 23 and 24. Bentzen went undefeated through seven games over two days of pool play, then came back from a six-point deficit to defeat Ross Bulley in the semifinals before ultimately thumping Bill Cleary 14-2 in the final. Cleary had beaten Clint Bailey in the other semifinal. In other CLBC news, Gord Fall and Hiren Bharthu won the gold medal at the B.C. Pairs Championship held at Juan de Fuca Lawn Bowling Club. It was the second provincial championship for Fall in the last three years. The duo will advance to the national championships in Toronto on Aug. 16-22. Previously, Fall and Phyl Ingram teamed up to win the Canada over U.S.A. $1,000 South Island Bowling Organization Pairs Tournament hosted by the Victoria Lawn Bowling Club that featured two days of intense, high-calibre competition.

Peewee AA RiverCats reach B.C. semifinals KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan RiverCats’ quest to bring home another peewee AA provincial championship came to an end in the semifinals of their tournament in Mission, but the players came home with many reasons to be proud of their performance. “Duncan has had some strong ball teams in the past and this team was no different,” coach Warren Hewitt said. “Every team we faced was gunning for us. We saw the best from everyone.” The RiverCats got off to an exceptional start in their first game as pitchers Connor Caskenette and Kyler Hewitt shut down the Coquitlam Moody bats in a 10-0 victory. Owen Ketch and Jordan Atcheson belted home runs in the win, while Caskenette took game MVP honours. The Duncan boys kept the

inning. Kyler Hewitt started the game and Tiemer came in to close it out with an MVP performance, while the centrefield defence of Linden Williams helped keep the score close. The semifinal against Mission was another close contest, but the RiverCats ended up on the short side of a 4-2 final score after a four-hour rain delay. Caskenette delivered another outstanding pitching performance with superb catching from Joran Branting. Coach Hewitt couldn’t help but give credit to another member of the team for his efforts, even if he didn’t pitch or hit. “Our team’s batboy Derick Santiago was not only busy collecting bats but was a huge encouragement to the boys in the dugout,” Hewitt said. “The boys fought hard and kept their heads held high.”
