Intercultural Day at The 39 Days of July, one of the event’s Themed Sundays, is always a colourful celebration of diversity, with everybody willing to join the fun.

The cloak and dagger delivery of envelopes filled with seemingly legitimate legal documents, allegations of backroom deals for secret profit-sharing, and fraud — it sounds more like a mystery novel but it’s just the latest in the Shawnigan Lake contaminated soil saga.

The Shawnigan Residents Association (SRA) has applied to the B.C. Supreme Court for an immediate stop to work at South Island Aggregates’ controversial soil treatment facility.

The court application, filed on July 9, follows the delivery of an envelope to the Shawnigan Watershed office by an unknown informant.

Protest sparks park watering changes SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Since moving to their Glenora home last summer, Liz Ringrose and her family have been distressed about the goings on at the ballpark adjacent to their property.

It’s not the crack of the bat or cheering of fans that sometimes go late into the evenings. Those are happy sounds.

It’s something, Ringrose said, that “doesn’t seem like it’s within a normal distribution of behavior.”

Every day for 12, 18 hours — and even sometimes around the clock — one of the park’s volunteer caretakers waters the fields with a water canon.

In the summer.

During a drought.

“When we moved here, our neighbours across the street, who have lived here for 40 years, told us not to use our sprinkler too much because when people use too much water they noticed it,” she explained.

So the constant watering of the ballfields perplexed Ringrose. If water in the area was so precious, why was it continually permitted to drench left field?

Surely there was an explanation? Surely the grass didn’t need that much water?

“We started asking questions to get a general understanding of it,” she explained.

Through her digging she learned she’s not the only neighbour worried about the overwatering. One neighbour has gone so far as to walk over and turn the water off.

Ringrose was told by the caretaker that there was “plenty of water” but is concerned about the practice’s long term effects to the area’s water supply.

Unlike a river where you can see the effects of the water loss right away, the effect of the constant draining of the aquifer won’t be known for years, she said.

“I don’t know what’s going on under the ground and I don’t really want to find out the hard way.”

A private ballfield, Waldon Park, otherwise known as the Glenora ballfields, is not owned or maintained by the Cowichan

[CITIZEN FILE]

Valley Regional District. It’s owned by the Glenora Community Association, whose president is Frank McCorkell.

“It’s the community’s ball field but we let it out to clubs that run it,” McCorkell said, acknowledging many of the neighbours’ concerns are generally legitimate and sometimes the volunteer caretakers get a little carried away.

“There’s one fella there...he’s stretched what he should be allowed for sprinkling and we’ve had a talk and I believe it’s been resolved,” McCorkell said. “He can’t continue doing this, it’s ridiculous. Whether we’re in a water shortage or not, I said, that’s not feasible. I told him it’s not doing the grass any good at all.”

McCorkell said his eyes are on the park more these days, making sure the water is turned on and off within reasonable time limits.

“I’m going to watch him and if he gets carried away, I’ve told him that maybe we’ll shut the whole thing down. What they were doing at that point in time when I got informed about it was ludicrous.”

Ringrose still feels compelled to continue to monitor the situation as well to ensure the water is not wasted.

“If it gets used all up then what happens then?” she wondered. “During these drought conditions, there’s not tons of water in any place. And if we have tons of water then we should be conserving it.”

Long-awaited new fire hall gets CVRD funding approval ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

The decades-long process of building a new fire hall for North Oyster took a big step forward last week, when the Cowichan Valley Regional District board approved spending of $1,025,000 for the project.

That doesn’t mean shovels will be going into the ground tomorrow, cautioned North Oyster Director Mary Marcotte.

“It’s not going to be anything immediate,” she said, relating that plans that have been drawn up need to be updated and there are other elements to be put in place. Work will not commence at least until the new year, she said.

“We haven’t started working until we know that we’ve got the funding,” Marcotte explained.

It’s been a long haul to get to this point, she said. The need for a new hall has been simmering since she was first elected in 1996.

“The hall is very old,” Marcotte said, and lacks proper seismic structuring, adequate space and both interior and exterior materials that are just worn out.

What it boils down to is a lot of stuff that can’t be repaired, she explained.

The problems with the hall were

brought into sharp focus recently when there was a wildfire in the area that brought help from eight departments.

“I felt kind of bad for them to tell you the truth because when they got a break from fighting the fire really they came back to the hall...most places would have a place where you could have a shower and maybe rest a bit before you have to go back on scene and we couldn’t provide that,” she said.

But the wheels are now turning, she assured.

“We just have to be patient,” Marcotte summed up.

Park/trail swap ‘awesome trade’: council LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

North Cowichan will exchange a piece of undeveloped land on Regina Drive for a long, wide walking trail connecting the street to Lakes Road.

The decision came at the end of a long discussion that included an extended explanation of the deal by planner Bruce Green, protests about the idea from nearby residents, a short presentation by the proponent, Greg Adams, and finally a series of comments from councillors.

Several of them said they had been up to the site to see the land in question and admitted they had trouble identifying what was park and what was not, with the most attractive piece of land lying outside its boundaries.

Coun. Kate Marsh said she had gone up there with “an open mind” but discovered that the supposedly cherished piece of parkland “doesn’t look that cherished”.

She said that a good quality, well maintained trail would be far more of an asset as well as offering another way to connect around the area.

She also said that, while the residents who spoke were against the idea, her own long experience had shown her that “people that are for something don’t always

Opponents watch as Greg Adams makes a presentation to North Cowichan council. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] show up.”

Coun. Maeve Maguire also admitted that she’d discovered the reality of the parkland didn’t live up to her expectations.

“This is an awesome trade,” she said.

Coun. Al Siebring had been one of the councillors who had been uncomfortable back in May with even attempting the swap but said, “I’m not uncomfortable any more.”

He also pointed out to the crowd that just because the person wanting to split his lot in two was a developer, it didn’t follow that the park swap would open the

door to more development.

Mayor Jon Lefebure echoed that sentiment.

“This is a land use decision. It’s not about who you like and who you don’t like,” he said, adding that he considered it “a decision for the greater community.”

Lefebure also said he was “always leery of people who ‘speak for their community.’ In my experience, that’s not been the case,” he said.

“I see a great proposal for a trail.”

The only councillor to vote against the idea was Rob Douglas, and he said that while “the pro-

posal on paper is really sound” he was “struggling” because of the amount of opposition from the neighbours.

The property owners nearby had tried to sway councillors by claiming the parkland was of too much importance to give away.

“Once exchanged it is lost forever,” said Suzanne Thur, a sentiment echoed by other opponents.

Larry White called for creation of “an active play space” because young families were moving into the area.

“We don’t need another trail,” he said, repeating a frequent theme.

Others were unhappy that their opposition as a neighbourhood was being pushed to one side and still others argued that Lakes Road is now so busy that not many people would use a walking trail that ended on it.

Adams himself said all the concern about the supposed park was “a non issue.”

The piece of land in question is only 1,500 metres, just an overgrown buffer zone whereas the traded land would give the community 2,500 metres of useful attractive trail.

He told council that he’s subdividing his big lot for personal reasons, because his children have moved out and he and his wife want a different home on a smaller piece of land.

He also said that some of the personal attacks he and his family have endured because of the proposal have been “offensive,” a sentiment that was shared by Marsh, who said she was “saddened by some of the remarks I’ve heard today.”

Outside council chambers after the decision, Adams shared a brief comment saying, “I’m looking forward to all our neighbours being able to enjoy this trail, especially the people from Lakes Road who can walk up to quieter areas so it’s safer for them and their children.”

OUR VIEW

Is that mid-day watering really necessary?

S

o what is up with the watering of Cowichan’s ballfields?

The practice has come under fire in the last few weeks, with a number of Citizen readers contacting us wondering why, exactly, in this time of serious drought, with months of dry weather likely still to come before the fall rains begin, they are seeing watering systems in full swing when they drive or walk past community fields.

First, it’s important for people to know that these fields are exempt from the watering restrictions that the rest of us

are currently under. So nobody’s actually breaking the rules.

And we defend the idea of using a certain amount of water to keep these fields from being permanently damaged by the dry weather.

After all, it will be the taxpayers who take the hit if turfs need to be replaced, and nobody wants that.

It’s just plain stupid, whether we’re talking buildings or outdoor facilities, to neglect the upkeep of our collective assets, leading to avoidable replacement costs.

But residents objecting to

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

some of the watering have some good points to make too.

We are not convinced at all that watering needs to be done during the heat of the day.

There’s a good reason that watering for residential users is restricted to early morning and evening hours.

When watering systems, particularly those that sprinkle from above, are used while the sun is baking down a huge amount of the moisture is wasted through evaporation before it even has a chance to do any good. And what does make it to the ground dries up in record

time when exposed to full sun.

These systems are on timers, and our governments need to take a serious look at using those timers to water at night.

It makes monitoring more challenging, yes, but the tradeoff would be worth it.

We hope they are also heeding the advice to leave the grass longer during the hot, dry weather, to help shield the roots and make less watering necessary. Players can adapt.

If nothing else, watering schedule changes would make it feel a bit more like we’re all in this together.

in the coming years you will see companies offer no-money-down alternatives to access solar power. We should all be excited about solar becoming common within Cowichan over the next few years, when consumers can immediately save money while also helping the planet.

An old saying goes: we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. We’ve reached a critical point in history where the urgent need to adopt renewables has met the financial feasibility of doing so. Fortunately we now have an economic incentive, along with our moral obligation, to take action.

Re: July 10 letter from Don Graham.

As a fellow geologist I felt I could offer Mr. Graham some of the evidence he was seeking regarding human-caused climate change.

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC.ch) has recently produced its fifth report on the state of the world’s climate. It is conveniently broken down into three sections which address 1. Physical science basis 2. Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability and 3.

Mitigation. This report also represents one of most thoroughly peer-reviewed documents ever produced. To summarize the report, “It is extremely likely (95-100 per cent probability) that human influence was the dominant cause of global warming between 1951-2010.” (IPCC ar5, sections 10.3 -10.6, 10.9) And as for Mr. Graham’s cited authority Mr. Bjorn Lomberg, who postulates sun spots and solar winds as the main driver for climate change, here is what I could find. Mr. Lomborg’s only scientific education is in political science, an extremely far cry from anything to do with atmospheric physics or climate modeling. This same global warming “skeptic” has been quoted numerous times stating not only that global warming is real, but that “it [global warming] is man-made and it is an important problem”. (New Statesman, Sept. 24, 2010).

All things considered, I would say that reasonable doubt for human-caused climate change has been dealt with. Unreasonable doubt, however, is something else entirely I guess.

Energy alternatives make moral and financial sense Having grown up in the Cowichan Valley, I was excited by recent discussion in the Citizen regarding climate change. From the announcement of local solar initiatives, to talk of what homeowners and businesses can do to adopt solar energy, opinions vary greatly.

As the founder of UGE, a publicly traded renewable energy company, I am enthusiastic about the growing attractiveness of solar. While some may attack solar as “stupid,” a closer look at the numbers reveals a more optimistic story.

Solar prices are dropping

rapidly around the world. Since the early 1970s, the cost of generating energy from solar has decreased 99 per cent, and 80 per cent in the past five years.

Solar panels now provide energy at $0.10/kWh over their lifetime, a price that’s competitive with rates in the Valley.

With BC Hydro in the midst of raising rates by 28 per cent, the cost savings provided by solar will be even greater in the near future.

The business model innovation following this point, where solar becomes cheaper than the grid, is even more exciting.

Currently, those installing solar are doing so through their own investment, and we should celebrate them as savvy stewards of the environment. However,

LNG deal great for B.C. Did you really imply in Our View that there is a parallel to be drawn between wheeling and dealing for a sofa at a yard sale and a $9 billion deal for LNG by Pre-

mier Christy Clark?

Of course there are always concessions to the companies and corporations, otherwise there would be little consideration of a deal. The benefits to British Columbians will be real and long-term in revenue, jobs, taxes and economic value to businesses in the province, particularly in those communities connected to LNG projects. The spin-off in spending dollars will be huge.

I would say “The horrible deal for British Columbians” would have been if Mr. Adrian Dix had won the last election. We would be spinning our wheels waiting for them to have the courage to give B.C. the hope and optimism Premier Clark has given with her true-spirited dedication to this province and its people.

Cowichan heritage garbage dump: no way to treat river

7045491

7073327

Summer’s a great time to remind ourselves that our own Cowichan River is, (say it with pride!) a B.C. Heritage River! Its scenery, wildlife, and recreation opportunities are world-class.

Too bad we annually turn the river into a garbage dump.

Whitewater boaters paddle the “Cow” all year round. And why not? It’s as close to pristine as we can expect, given its proximity to a large population center.

Canoeists and kayakers respect the corridor, cleaning up litter as we go, and boating in a safe and sober manner.

Then, for two summer months, we watch in disgust, as picnickers and tubers drink their way down the river, leaving behind an unbelievable array of garbage.

One evening last summer, six of us paddled from Skutz Falls to the Marie Can-

yon rec site — the famed “Canyon Run.” Along the way, we filled my canoe with litter, including bottles, cans, wrappers, bags, flip-flops, and derelict floaty-toys.

In fact, we left garbage behind, as the canoe was overflowing.

Come on, folks — is this how Islanders treat a Heritage River?

Hey, if you can bring in full cans, how hard would it be to take out your empties? Leave the glass bottles at home. And avoid those flimsy plastic floaty-toys — bring real inner-tubes, which won’t puncture at a sharp glance.

Because if you don’t, some bureaucrat will waste our tax money putting up more of those offensive yellow gates, making it even harder for us to access our river.

So let’s work together to keep the Cow clean — your river and my river.

Agreement abandoned, says Kelly COURT FILING, From Page 1 In it were documents explaining a complex deal between the companies working to establish the facility, which aims to treat five million tonnes of dirty dirt over the next 50 years.

Based on that information, the Residents Association now alleges that South Island Aggregates and Cobble Hill Holdings made a pact with Active Earth, the engineers hired to do environmental risk assessment on the project, to share profits over the 50-year lifespan of the operation through two numbered companies.

“It is a sophisticated legal agreement that was appears (sic) to have been drafted by lawyers,” said the notice of application filed by the SRA. “The signatures appear to be those of the signing individuals when compared to other documents that have been disclosed.”

The Residents Association doesn’t know who delivered the document but is confident enough in the information the documents contain to push ahead with the legal challenge.

“T he document appears authentic on its face,” said the application. “Assuming it is authentic, the profit-sharing agreement was undoubtedly concealed because it places the engineers from Active Earth in a direct conflict of interest, whereby they were relied upon by the ministry and the board for scientific objectivity, but had a direct financial interest in the project and are in fact principals of the true applicant company.”

This most recent informa-

MIKE KELLY, Cobble Hill Holdings owner

tion, assuming it is indeed genuine, according to the SRA, constitutes “a fraud upon the ministry and a fraud upon the board in concealing its existence.”

“All were deceived,” said the application. “The permit application and supporting materials were a sham.”

Not so, said South Island Aggregates/Cobble Hill Holdings owner Mike Kelly.

He said Cobble Hill Holdings agreed in February 2013 to use South Island Aggregates to carry out reclamation efforts on the site, under the guidance of their existing professional engineers Active Earth but just four months later they pulled the plug on the deal.

“It was decided internally due to various reasons, as a protection to CHHL and the community, it would be best to award the operation of the reclamation to a completely arms length operator and not carry out the works on an in-house basis,” he said.

They now use South Island Resource Management Ltd. “As for the documents that were stolen from our offices

that were before the court... it is simply a copy of a two-and-ahalf-year-old abandoned agreement between the directors of CHH and our engineers that was never followed through with, even to this day,” Kelly said.

CHH, SIA and Active Earth have nothing to hide, according to Kelly, and have directed their lawyers to agree to be cross examined by the SRA legal council, but on one condition: “that SRA can post sufficient funds to pay our costs associated with the costly expenses of a court proceeding of this nature should they fail to obtain a judicial review.”

He said his camp feels it’s a fair approach “due to the time, effort and money that this has been costing us to defend, what we feel are non-scientific, frivolous lawsuits based on politics and fear mongering.”

Residents Association President Calvin Cook maintains it’s prudent for his group to follow up on the new information because the safety of the drinking water of more than 12,000 people remains at stake.

Cook said before school let out, he spoke to a class of fourth-graders and he found himself struggling to look for answers to their seemingly simple questions. “That’s the one question I can’t answer,” he said. “Who thinks this is a good idea? Does this make sense to put it at the headwaters of a designated community watershed? What it comes down to is follow the money,” he said. “It raises so many red flags to me as a lay person. I mean wow.”

Active Earth engineer Matt Pye declined to comment.

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. There are vaccines available to prevent Hepatitis A & B but none for Hepatitis C, although a new drug is available to treat Hep-C. About 242,000 Canadians are living with Hep-C and many of them don’t know it. It may take 10-20 years for symptoms to occur, but liver damage has been occurring all that time.

Sometimes, people confuse the words dementia and Alzheimer’s as being the same thing. Actually, dementia is a general category of brain malfunction while Alzheimers is one of many types of dementia.

There is much research being done on the cause and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. You can be sure when new treatments become available, our pharmacists will know about it. We are a great drug information resource.

Henry Landry and a couple of other volunteers collected over 300 signatures on a petition asking BC Transit to change a bus to Lake Cowichan back from an express route to one with more stops. [CITIZEN FILE]

...............................................................................

No changes planned in spite of bus petition Almost 10 months after riders on the #7 bus from Duncan to Lake Cowichan raised objections to alterations in the route, no changes have been made to address their concerns and none will be coming.

“So what you have here is a frustrated bus rider,” said Henry Landry of the Buddhist Nichiren Peace Centre, which is located on Johnny Bear Road, once serviced by the #7.

The changes that went into effect last October turned the #7 6:35 p.m. bus into an express bus that takes Highway 18 instead of Cowichan Lake Road.

The route along Cowichan Lake Road includes stops at many intersecting roads along the way.

“There’s people that go to the library, there’s people that are working,” Landry said in the fall. “It’s a pretty important route and we’d like to see it re-established.”

To that end, Landry, along with help from fellow rider Rick Lobb, launched a petition, collecting about 350 signatures in support of changing the bus route back to how it was.

Landry also attended meet-

ings at the Cowichan Valley Regional District, where he made presentations to officials.

He was told that BC Transit officials would consider the matter, after conducting consultations. BC Transit conducted on-board and online customer surveys in late February and early March of this year. There were 298 responses.

Landry said all these months later all he sees is a waste of taxpayer dollars, a bureaucracy that doesn’t want to admit it made a mistake, and no changes coming to correct the error.

Action will not be forthcoming, BC Transit confirmed.

“At this time, there are no further changes planned,” said John Barry, manager of corporate and online communications in an email. “Any potential changes to routes or trip times would need to be cost-neutral, and subject to available funding. BC Transit will continue to consult with the CVRD on these considerations.”

BC Transit and the Cowichan Valley Regional District did acknowledge that survey respondents did indicate a preference for some changes, including the #7 route.

“Early results show a need to consider improving the week-

end trip times/frequencies on Routes 8 and 9, but further investigation is required to see if this is feasible and whether Route 7 trip times at the end of the day Monday to Thursday can be reconfigured to service the old road (via Gibbins) later at night,” A report from the Facility, Fleet & Transit Management Division Engineering Services Department states, though it goes on to say that no recommendations about service changes are being made at this time due to cost concerns.

Landry remains convinced the change he and the petitioners are seeking would take only a tweak or two to the schedule, not wholesale changes that would be difficult for BC Transit. The whole thing is an example of “government for the government by the government”, he said.

“This would have been so easy to fix and they just made a big bureaucratic mess,” Landry said.

People haven’t forgotten about it and still want to see action.

“I still get people stopping me at London Drugs and Superstore asking me ‘are the changes coming?’,” he said.

A big crowd gathered around the outskirts of Duncan’s City Square Tuesday afternoon, July 14, to watch a film crew at work.

Using the beautiful square and historic City Hall for a backdrop they were shooting scenes for the upcoming Disney Channel movie For Wheelz.

Eager onlookers of all ages were kept away from the area but still could see the makeup crew at work, as well as observe the efforts to prepare the car used in the scenes being shot there.

Auditions for roles took place in Los Angeles, Victoria and Vancouver and shooting is continuing through August, according to Disney Casting.

For Wheelz is all about Mark, a teenager unsuccessfully trying to get his driver’s licence who suddenly finds a beautiful girl wants him to drive her to a pool party.

He needs a competent driving instructor — fast. But nothing goes according to plan.

Daytime Emmy nominee Jonathan A. Rosenbaum is directing and Kim Arnott and Robyn Snider are producing the film.

Sights set on Miss Teen Canada pageant gown competition, a bikini event, speech presentations and even an optional talent contest.

There are $30,000 in prizes available at Miss Teen Canada, a far cry from the ribbon and tiara she won at Miss Teen Vancouver Island.

“We’ll be sightseeing all around Toronto and we’re going to be on Breakfast Television, too,” she said.

Mill Bay’s Mckenna Haz, the Rugby Princess, is aiming to take her tiara to the next level.

She’s earned the Miss Teen Vancouver Island crown and is preparing to go to Toronto in August for the Miss Teen Canada pageant and is now hoping for some financial support from the community to help her get there, some help for the charity Free the Children, which she is supporting and, finally, some votes to help win the title.

Surprisingly, the lovely Haz had never entered a pageant before but participation in this kind of event runs in her family.

On her Facebook page she has shared a bit of history.

“My great grandmother, Joan Clapham, was a Penny Princess and Miss Vancouver Island Runner up 1953 and my grandmother, Denise Wilson, was Colwood Miss Firefighter and Miss Gllangcolme 1972.

“I’ve been fortunate to hear vast stories from my past: social events, opportunities and lessons learned through pageantry. It was fascinating to see the newspaper articles and to see my great grandmother’s and grandma’s accomplishments.

It was delightful to see two individuals that I look up too immensely accomplishing the same goals I set forth today.”

The Brentwood College student is not a pageant regular herself, though. She’s an athlete, a rugby player and a good one, who has played nationally and internationally for her age group.

Haz won her current title in January. Under ordinary cir-

“It’s gong to be great.”

If you’re interested in more details, check her out at www.facebook.com/ mckennahaz and missteenvancouverisland.com/ where you can read more about her preparation for Miss Teen Canada.

She is also setting up a gofundme page to raise money for Free the Children.

Mckenna Haz of Mill Bay is Miss Teen Vancouver Island, and now she has her sights set on Miss Teen Canada. [SUBMITTED] cumstances she would have spent the spring fundraising but health issues made that impossible.

Until now.

Doctors have finally given her a clean bill of health and she’s received the okay to go ahead with both her rugby and her pageant plans this summer.

Haz is interested in community work and it’s encouraged by pageant organizers at all levels.

She did well when she ran for Miss Teen Vancouver Island.

“I raised $2,400 for Cardiac Kids. I was the second highest fundraiser in that competition.

I’ve also been a charity cham-

pion for the Victoria Goddess Run. I’ve raised funds for Kidsport and my aim is also to promote health and fitness for kids.”

During a BC Rugby trip to Colombia, she took $2,000 worth of donated equipment to hand out to locals.

Haz is also hoping that Cowichan folks will help her get to the pageant because it’s expensive to attend — $4,500 in fees — and then vote for her once she’s there.

She’s looking forward to her Toronto trip enormously and taking part in the pageant which will include a formal

Also look for Juice FM broadcasting live from 3-7 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturday and St. John’s Ambulance offering interactive AED and CPR activities and a first aid kit sail on both days.

Finally, up at the top of the town, Duncan RC Shop is hosting a radio-controlled track by donation.

Meanwhile, along Craig Street, there’s the Tour de Rock fundraiser Tear a Strip off a Cop, Mercia’s is offering product information and samples and across the street, the Red Balloon is hosting giant chess, a kids play area, face painting and even hockey.

Sign up for FireSmart workshop to be prepared In response to the recent concerns of residents regarding the possibility of wildfires impacting their lives, a Fire Smart workshop will be held on Thursday, July 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Cobble Hill Hall on Watson Avenue in Cobble Hill (by the Cobblestone Pub).

This free workshop is being put on by Sybille Sanderson, the emergency program coordinator in the public safety division of the CVRD.

Sanderson is involved in all major local emergency events and the information she imparts in her workshops includes personal observations and perspectives that cannot be gleaned from reading a booklet, said Jackie Barker, volunteer coordinator of Cobble Hill emergency preparedness. She is able to answer specific questions and provide suggestions if people have individual concerns.

“This three hour session could help you and your neighbourhood become much safer in terms of you and your

home surviving a wildfire,” Barker said.

Topics for the workshop include understanding the wildfire threat, understanding what makes homes vulnerable, assessing a home’s potential risk for wildfire, how to FireSmart a home and reduce the risks, FireSmart landscaping and an introduction to the Recognized FireSmart Communities Project.

People who are interested in attending may sign up directly by either phoning 250-746-2560 or emailing to ep@cvrd. bc.ca by July 16.

Grande Parade fills Duncan on Saturday

It’s back! In fact, it never went away.

There had been a move afoot to change Duncan’s Grande Parade but you, the paradeloving folks of the Cowichan Valley, spoke loud and clear and the huge, colourful cavalcade will wind its way around the downtown core as usual Saturday, July 18 starting at 11 a.m.

Getting it together takes effort from the organizers of two festivals, a whole lot of enthusiastic businesses, the City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan as well as a large number of supporting groups.

Starting over by the Island Savings Centre on James Street, the parade meanders up Canada Avenue to Fourth Street, then follows Jubilee all the way to Kenneth Street, passing City Hall and making the turn again onto Canada, to Queens Road and finally to Alderlea before ending up back at the Centre again.

Since it surrounds Duncan’s main entertainment and shopping area, the event is always a treat for everyone because businesses and organizations take the opportunity to strut their stuff to the thousands of Valley residents who mark the event on their calendars and then flock to town to line the streets.

The cavalcade includes everything from marching bands, including the area’s own beloved Town Crier, and the Cowichan Pipes and Drums, to the Cowichan Community Band, floats, dancers, fancy cars and trucks, and entries by service organizations such as Hiiye’yu Lelum and the Cowichan Valley Shriners.

The Candy Crushers Roller Derby girls will have competition in the parade this year from the ominous sounding Brass Knuckle Derby Dames so watch for both groups.

Coming to Duncan for the event this year are the 20-member Vancouver Traveling Band and the 200-member Albert Head Air Cadet Squadron which will be marching behind its own band.

This group also features a drill team demonstration with replica firearms.

And of course, don’t forget the district’s fire departments will be out in force, offering candies and squirts from various sorts of water weapons — often a welcome treat on a scorching summer day.

There are all sorts of angles for viewing and even places that offer shade from the sun so be sure to get downtown early to set up your chairs and blankets by the roadside.

You’ll know when the parade is ending, too, because the parade marshalls, the Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club will bring up the rear in the event.

Ladies ready to ride LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

G a l s a n d m o t o r b i ke s. W h a t a g r e a t combination.

The third annual Women’s Ride Day, created by the ladies of West Coast Roar for Women in Need and Cowichan Women Against Violence, is scheduled for Sunday, July 19 this year, starting from Country Grocer at Valleyview Centre in Cobble Hill.

What started out as a small gathering has turned into a major event and you can be part of it.

This event is open to everyone but it’s a women-only ride.

If men wish to go on the ride, they must ride on the back of a woman’s bike.

Notables on hand to enjoy the event will be the Hon. Judith Guichon, B.C.’s Lt. Governor, Malahat First Nation Chief Michael Harry, CVRD Chair Jon Lefebure, representatives of the BC Nurses Union and motorcycle guru and parade grand marshall, Steve Drane.

The cost to take part is $25 per person and that includes T-shirt, lunch and ride.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. with kickstands up at 10:30 a.m.

All the proceeds raised go to Cowichan Women Against Violence and Women in Need (WIN) Victoria.

In addition to the ride itself, there’s a silent auction, barbecue lunch by donation with support from Schneider’s and Pepsi.

And there’s rock ‘n’ roll entertainment from David Gogo and more, Mitch and the Baroness, plus a Show & Shine from member of the South Island Straight Liners Racing Association.

Take a work break and get Lunch in the Park LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Want to make the 39 Days part of your daily routine?

Why not join the crowd for Lunch in the Park?

Starting at noon, and continuing for an hour or so every day, downtown folks can enjoy entertainment with their al fresco lunch at Charles Hoey Park.

Summer festival president and artistic director Longevity John Falkner boasts that there are 75 slots for entertainers over the 39 days of the festival.

“We encourage you to order your favourite foods to go from our many downtown eateries and join us for a noon hour musical series where we present some of the many local singer/songwriters whom you might see during the rest of the year at various local eateries and pubs plying their music,” he said.

These musical mainstays are enthusiastic about the Lunch in the Park idea.

“Without their commitment to this project, we couldn’t exist. They perform many of their originals with many a good, recognizable cover tune thrown in as well and we are sure you will enjoy their many varied scheduled performances. We do suggest you buy their CDs and such to help support their musical endeavours,” Falkner said, adding that hearing this great local talent may inspire you to hire them for your own events.

Who’s on the lunch-time menu?

Andrea Smith, Beverley McKeen, Cara McCandless, Cheryl Baudin and Chey Peterson, Chuck McCandless, Dennis Atkins, Don Wilke, Genevieve Charbonneau, Glaucia Desrochers, Greg Madill, Homeless Harold Anderson, Hope King and Scott Magill, Martyn Jones, Marty and JJ, MoonRiders, Naomi Payan, Paul Ruszel, Ron Ingram, Scott Magill, Shorty and Co., Steve McKinnon, Sweet Potato Brown, Tai and Anna Williams, Theda Phoenix and as special out-of-town guests, there are also Emma Plant and Tannis Slimmon.

16 do not require a freshwater fishing licence to participate.

Learn to Fish events teach fish identification and biology; habitat and conservation; proper fish handling; ethics, safety, and fishing regulations. Instructors explain fishing tackle (rods, reels, lines, and lures) and knot-tying. Participants get hands on experience while learning about casting and retrieving and tips and techniques for catching fish. All

Clean energy stories hope to inspire locals Citizens group One Cowichan is hosting a free speaking event titled, “Local Clean Energy, Lessons from the Field” featuring Judith Sayers, former Chief of the Hupacasath First Nation, presently with Clean Energy BC; Dawson Creek city councillor, Cheryl Shuman and Bob Haugen, executive director of Canadian Solar Cities Project.

They will share stories about some of their local clean energy projects from what motivated the projects to the nuts and bolts of how things got done.

The event will be held in the Quamichan Room at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural & Conference Centre on Thursday, July 23 at 7 p.m.

“We are really looking forward to hearing what’s worked in other communities as inspiration for all of us here in Cowichan,” said Rosalie Sawrie with One Cowichan.

Learn to Fish is popular with Cowichan kids. [CITIZEN FILE] and the Gulf Islands. Seven new events have increased the number of Learn to Fish sessions to 40 at 19 locations in regional parks and urban lakes for local and visiting youth and their families, including in Cowichan.

In the Cowichan Valley Learn to Fish will be held at Fuller Lake on July 23 from 6-8 p.m.

Register at 250-886-1488 or viprograms@gofishbc.com.

Learn to Fish will also be held at Cowichan Lake in the Gordon Bay Provincial Park on July 18 and Aug. 1 and 8 at 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m and on Aug. 24, 10:30 a.m. To 12:30 p.m.

“There is an increasing interest in freshwater fishing across the region, and the best way to facilitate that interest is to make fishing more readily

accessible and available. By bringing the programs closer, and providing equipment, there are fewer barriers for people interested in trying the sport,” said Tanya Laird, provincial outreach coordinator.

“Access to programs in their own community will make it easier for youth and their families to experience the sport together.”

Learn to Fish events are hosted on a drop-in basis for youngsters aged five to 15, and their families at provincial park locations. Participants are asked to arrive on time for the sessions as fishing techniques and ethics are taught in advance of the hands-on portion.

Pre-registration is required for most urban programs in regional parks. Children under

flames towards Forbes Landing whose 40 hotel guests were evacuated despite the provincial government having impressed 400 unemployed (this was in the Depression) and 100 Forest Department employees for firefighting duty. News reports began describing the blaze as the worst seen on the Island in years.

In fact, the winds carried burning debris a mile ahead of the firelines, forcing the recruitment of another 200 recruits from Vancouver relief rolls and another 70 loggers from other companies.

With ash falling on Comox “like snow,” ships navigating by foghorn, the devastated area was now estimated to be 8,000 acres and now-threatened communities included Elk Falls to the west.

Declared Chief Forester Manning: “This could develop into one of the worst fire seasons in history unless we get damper weather soon.”

By the third week, it remained out of control after jumping Quinsam River, Elk Falls and Black Creek had been evacuated, Campbellton was menaced, and exhausted firefighters were working 20-hour shifts with only an occasional sandwich for their meals. Moving on three fronts, the monster reduced visibility throughout the Northwest to

En route was HMCS Armentieres with a cargo of shovels and a visiting British naval cruiser, HMS York, offered the services of its 750-man crew. (When gratefully declined, the York carried on to Vancouver.)

Gone now was Forbes Landing amid charges of sabotage (sugar

in pump fuel tanks and slashed hoses) by parties unknown but thought to be from the ranks of the unemployed men brought in from Vancouver. Happily, the hotel’s pet deer Trixie was said to be okay, having somehow saved herself.

Niels Kjaer Andersen of Victoria passed away peacefully during the night of June 29, 2015. Niels is predeceased by his beloved wife Mary (2015). He is survived by son Flemming (Miranda); grandchildren David (Jacquie) and Michelle; great-grandchildren Anja and Lawson; and extended family of relations and treasured friends in Canada and Denmark.

Niels was the youngest of 12 siblings born in Esbjerg, Denmark. After completing his apprenticeship as an automobile mechanic he moved to Copenhagen where he met Mary, whom he married in 1945. In 1959 Niels, Mary and their son Flemming emigrated to Victoria.

Shortly after arriving in Victoria, Niels obtained employment with the Chrysler dealership in Duncan, and not many years later Niels went into business for himself with Andersen’s Service just north of Duncan. Niels and Mary lived in Duncan for forty years before returning to Victoria in 2000.

Celebration of Life to be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 24, 2015 at Cordova Bay United Church, 813 Claremont Avenue, Victoria, B.C. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Niels to Cordova Bay United Church or Luther Court Society.

MacGregor, Mary Dianne July 9th, 1946 – April 3rd, 2015

Mary Dianne MacGregor, (nee Giles) born July 9th, 1946 in Duncan, BC passed peacefully on April 3rd, 2015 after a long battle with MS. Mary will be reunited with her Mother Megan, Father William and younger brother Robin.

Although Mary will be missed, she will live on in the fond memories of her loving husband Paul, her daughters Paula (Bill), Alanna (Mark), Patricia (Jake), Brenda (Richard), her seven grandchildren Jordan, Ben, Sage, Kody, Wade, Talina, Brekkan, siblings Dave, Rosie, Dot and her many nieces and nephews.

Mary loved the ocean, and the great outdoors. She enjoyed frequent camping trips, climbing mountains and building sandcastles. After losing her mobility, Mary continued to enjoy the great outdoors through photos and treasures, collected by her children and grandchildren.

Mary always placed the highest value on community and went through great lengths to establish strong connections; she was a leader with Guides Canada, a Sunday school teacher, member of the Ocean Falls Women’s Auxiliary and Legion and was a founding member of Kitimat MS Association.

Mary’s community involvement went far beyond formal organizations- she was a regular helper at school, the back yard became a regular gathering spot for the kids in the neighborhood and she was always involved in helping the less fortunate. Even in her last days Mary found a way to knit scarves for those in need.

Her strength and compassion set an incredible example for everyone around her. Despite enduring great hardship, Mary was always the first to remind everyone that we should be thankful for what we have.

Celebration of Life Service will be held in Telford’s Funeral Centre, 595 Townsite Road, Nanaimo, BC, on Saturday, July 25th, 2015 at 1:00pm. In memory of Mary, condolences may be offered to the family at telfordn@shaw.ca

Joan Elizabeth (Standen) Westwick

VERNA DEXTER (Samorodin) October 8, 1924 – July 11, 2015 Verna (Baba) passed away peacefully with family by her side in Duncan, BC. She was born in Brilliant, BC and spent time in foster care after being taken away from her Doukhoubour family at age five. Then at age nine came to the Queen Alexandria Solarium in Mill Bay, BC to learn future life skills.

Verna faced immediate challenges when stricken with polio at age three, which affected her right arm.

For those who knew and loved her wondered how she seemed to do any task twice as fast as others, yet always cheerful. Many knew her from her years working at the Goodwill.

On Sept 26, 1953 she married the love of her life, Melville and is survived by four children Darlene, Harriss (aka Russell), Shirley and Valerie.

Her greatest joy was being a grandmother to Erin (Kelly), Darren, Ian, Sean (Tanya), Amber, Jade, Amanda (Aaron) whom she dearly loved and doted over. She would always talk about how proud and special each and every one of them were to her.

She came to learn of the many truths in the Bible and put great faith in its many promises and then dedicated her life to her God Jehovah in May 1984.

A memorial service for Verna will be held on Saturday, July 18 at 2:00 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1071 Canada Ave, Duncan, BC.

Joan Westwick passed away quietly in her home June 22, 2015 after waging a brave battle with cancer.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Henry, she is survived by her sister Susan Allison, son Kevin (Laura) Westwick, daughter Lynne (Ron) Hrynuik, granddaughter Nina Westwick, niece Sheena (Terry) Boyles, nephew Lorne (Tanis) Allison and a treasured extended family.

Born in Victoria in 1937, Joan moved to Cowichan Station in 1949 when her parents Harry and Pearl Standen bought what would become Handen Jersey Farm.

While attending UBC Joan met and married Henry Westwick, and, after a brief stint in Cold Lake, Alberta, they decided to move back to Handen Farm where they settled in to run the farm, raise a family and eventually retire. During her years as a Jersey breeder Joan was very active in the farming community, serving for years as a director to both the BC and Canadian Jersey Breeders Associations, eventually becoming the Canadian Association’s first female president in 1994.

Joan loved badminton, softball, bowling and gardening, which in later life became her main hobby. Her real love, however, and the focus of her life, was always her family and friends, to whom she was ever a source of love, compassion, support and wisdom and by whom she will be dearly, dearly missed.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Mark Sanders and the VIHA Home Care Nursing staff for the wonderful care they provided. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date and the family asks that in lieu of flowers donations in Joan’s name be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Emma Leonie Harman (nee Van Dyck)

Sept 21, 1919 – July 9, 2015 Emmy passed away peacefully in the early morning of July 9th with her son Fred at her side.

She was born in the Dutch East Indies village of Jambong, Jakarta, Indonesia and at the age of fourteen along with her four sisters she moved to Holland. It was there she started her nursing career during the WW2 Nazi occupation of Holland. It was also there that she was to meet her future husband Fred during the liberation of Holland by the Canadian troops. Two years later she would follow him to Saskatchewan to marry, then on to Jasper Alberta. Further on to Chilliwack BC where she resumed her nursing career at the Coqualeetza TB Hospital.

Fred and Emmy moved to Victoria in 1957 where she would eventually become the head ICU nurse at the Veterans Pavilion Hospital. Her final move was to Duncan in 2011 to be close to her family.

Pre deceased by husband Fred in 1977 and by sisters Lottie and Kitty, she is survived by sisters Willy Ford of Kelowna, BC and Marri Van Berkom of Ont., along with many nieces and nephews across Canada and Holland. She was particularly close to niece’s Maureen Breitkreutz and Ellen Van Heerden and Ellen’s close friend Jan Haggerty, who have always been there to offer love and support.

Mum (Oma) had a deep love and affection for her family, son Fred (Sheelagh), grandson Craig (Lyla) and her two very special great grandchildren Kayle and Tyee. We will all miss her tremendous sense of humour, her love and positive outlook on life and her great spirit of adventure for travel. After her retirement in 1979 she travelled the world, including several trips to China, and to Indonesia, Holland, Turkey, Egypt the Balkans and many other countries throughout Europe, as well as Scandinavia and the Canadian Arctic. In her 90th year she toured Haida Gwaii by boat and float plane! Her last adventure at 93 was an Alaskan cruise where “Mama Emmy� was treated like royalty by the Indonesian crew. We were all amazed when she started speaking Indonesian! Who knew?

Emmy was very talented in cross stitch and the lost art of Hardanger embroidering, creating amazing table cloths, runners, wall displays and pillow covers. She enjoyed it most when she could give one of her masterpieces away to those who enjoyed them. She continued with this very detailed hobby until her 94th year!

Her last 2 months were spent living indepently at Sherwood House in Duncan, where she felt safe, cared for and loved by their amazing staff.

Our family would like to thank the nursing staff and doctors at Cowichan District Hospital for their care, and a deep gratitude to the We Care RCA’s, the Home & Community Care (VIHA) RCA’s and RN’s, and Dr. Peter Postuk. They all made her final weeks an easier path that allowed her to live her final days on her own terms. Everyone who met her were touched by her kindness, strength, generosity and feisty spirit. In her final hours when asked if there was anything she needed she replied, “peace and love�. This is a reflection of her true spirit.

There will be no service by her request. It was her wish that any donations in her memory be made to the Mustard Seed in Victoria, or the Cowichan Valley Basket Society.

You will be forever in our hearts Mum/Oma. Rest in peace.

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

One dramatic period robbed the Cowichan Valley Thunder of a brilliant chance to bring home the gold medal from the provincial peewee A2 lacrosse championships last week.

After cruising through pool play with two wins and a tie, the Thunder jumped out to a 5-1 first-period lead over Ridge Meadows in the crossover semifinal.

Everything went off the rails, however, when Josh Macdonald was hit by a shot just above the area covered by his kidney pads. Macdonald collapsed, then got back up and staggered to the bench. When his dad and head coach, Gord, removed Josh’s helmet, Josh started coughing up blood.

The Cowichan coaches asked the referees to halt the game while Josh was tended to, but there is no rule requiring play to be stopped in such a situation, and even as arena medics, nurses and, eventually paramedics, gathered on the bench — eight additional adults in total — the game kept going.

In the confusion, and with their coaches tending to their injured teammate, the frustrated Cowichan players took a bunch of penalties, and Ridge Meadows was able to pull even with four unanswered goals in the second period, then went ahead with three quick goals in the third. The Thunder clawed back and managed to tie the score at 8-8 on a goal by Dawson Sears with just over four minutes left Dawson Elzinga gave the Thunder the lead two minutes and 20 seconds into the first overtime, but Ridge Meadows tied it up late in the first extra frame, then scored the only goal of the sudden-death second overtime.

“It was an intense game for sure,” Gord Macdonald said. “It was very emotional for those kids after they fought back

in the third to tie it up. It was just that second period that killed us. We couldn’t stop getting penalties. With all the kids, coaches and eight other people on the bench, it was total chaos.”

Elzinga finished the game with three goals, while Sears scored twice and added three assists. Josh Macdonald had a goal and a helper before his injury. Cole Cook had a goal and an assist, Kaelem Gray added a single goal, Joshua Wong had two assists, and Dominic Adelborg and Keegan Martin each had one helper.

The Thunder appealed the result of the semifinal, but because there is no rule requiring games to be stopped under those circumstances, they were unsuccessful and went on to the bronze medal game, where they edged North Shore 6-5. That was little consolation for a team that seemed destined to win gold “I’ve seen them more excited about winning an exhibition game than they were about that game because they knew they were the best team there,” Macdonald said.

Jacob McCluskey scored twice in the bronze-medal game and Luke Ellison had a goal and an assist. Sears, Gray and Kyler Smith had single goals, and Elzinga and Josh Macdonald — back in action the day after his injury — each had one assist.

In round-robin play, the Thunder beat Abbotsford 9-6 and Vancouver 9-4 and tied North Shore 8-8.

“We had some close scores, but we outshot the other teams by about four times as much,” Macdonald noted.

This year’s peewee A2 team was about half first-year and half second-year players, so there’s a good chance the team could be back in contention in 2016.

“A lot of our first-years are good little players,” Macdonald said. “So next year they’ll be the superstars of the league.”

The Cowichan Blackout overcame some challenges in the weeks before the Les Sinnott Memorial provincial U14 boys soccer championships in 100 Mile House last week and emerged with the bronze medal.

“For a team that had to replace two starters due to injuries in the last couple weeks before heading out, and carrying other key players with nagging pains that just would not go away, I think that we did extremely well,” Blackout head coach Will Chaster said.

The injured starters had to step out of the lineup so Chaster could replace them with healthy players, just one of the obstacles the team had to deal with as the provincial tournament approached.

“Our players where suffering from this, the heat, long travel, unknown opponents, severe weather conditions pending lightning, isolation at our resort with no Internet, and other factors to distract from our goal: to medal,” he said.

Cowichan opened the tournament with a 2-1 win over the Williams Lake Storm on Thursday morning, then suffered their only loss on Friday morning, falling 3-2 to Pinnacles FC of Penticton, with the winning goal coming in stoppage time.

Peewee RiverCats host baseball Islands this weekend

trounce to host 100 Mile House Lightning 4-0, securing a chance to play for the bronze medal.

“After the loss to Penticton, our resolve was renewed to claim the bronze,” Chaster said.

The bronze-medal game was a rematch with Coastal FC, a team the Blackout defeated this year in the Coastal Cup semifinals. Cowichan prevailed 3-1.

The Blackout had an extremely successful season, going undefeated in league play. Their only defeat in league or cup play came in the Coastal Cup final, which they lost to CCB United, the eventual provincial championships. The team did lose a couple of exhibition matches over the season, including some tuneup games against higher skilled teams between the end of cup play in May and the provincial championships last week.

Despite all their success, the Blackout knew they’d be up against some tough competition at the provincial tournament.

“It was no certainty a medal would be ours as there were seven other district winners there, and we only knew two,” Chaster said. “After it was all said and done I think we realized what we could have done better and I know I was proud of our results as the players and families in attendance seem to be.”

Flynn’s sportsmanship shines for Wildcats at Op. Trackshoes KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

David Flynn came away with the Adult Male Sportsmanship Award from the Operation Trackshoes track and field meet in Victoria last month.

Flynn was one of nearly 50 members of the Duncan Wildcats to compete in the sports festival for athletes with developmental disabilities, held over three days

at the University of Victoria. Nearly 700 competitors from across B.C. attended the annual meet. The Wildcats had 47 athletes entered in various events, including five runners in the 1500m race.

The Wildcats expressed their thanks to their coaches, and to their many sponsors, including the Duncan Kiwanis Club, Tim Hortons, Malahat Lions, and Wilson’s Transportation.

‘Band of brothers’ battles to the end at provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

It all hinged on one game.

After a 4-0 win over Prince Rupert United and a 1-1 tie with the Surrey Royals — the same team they lost to 1-0 in the Coastal Cup final back in the spring — the Cowichan Valley Soccer Association’s U18 boys Gold team needed a win over a beatable Kelowna United team in their final pool game last Saturday to advance to the championship match at the provincial tournament in Penticton last week.

Although Cowichan threw everything they had at Kelowna, especially in the final minutes, they couldn’t manage a goal and had to settle for a 1-0 loss and a chance at fifth place.

“I couldn’t have asked for more,” head coach Bill Keserich Jr. said. “We were just unfortunate in that one game that we couldn’t score. We hit crossbars, had balls cleared off the line, shots blocked.

It’s definitely frustrating when you’re the better team and you don’t get the bounces. To win in soccer, you need skill, hard work and luck. We just didn’t have the luck that time.”

It wasn’t easy, but the Cowichan players regrouped after that emotional loss and beat Williams Lake 3-2 on Sunday. Cowichan led 2-0 before Williams Lake battled back to tie the score. Finally, Brydon Sampson capitalized on a penalty kick to restore his team’s lead, and that goal

BILL KESERICH JR., Cowichan U18 head coach

stood up as the winner.

“Obviously, they wanted to go out on a winning note, but the momentum when you’re playing for fifth and sixth isn’t the same as when you’re playing in the finals,” Keserich said. “That game should have been over in the first half. We probably should have won 10-0.”

In addition to Sampson, Cowichan got outstanding performances at the tournament from Paris Holland, Amish Dobson Josh Jones, Taylor Martin and goalkeeper Tao Browne.

“Everybody played great, don’t get me wrong,” Keserich said. “But those guys really stood out.”

The loss to Kelowna was one of just two defeats for the Cowichan team all season as they won 23 times and also played to a pair of draws.

This marks the end of youth soccer for all the U18 players, but Keserich hopes they continue playing the sport at some level.

“I’ve coached nine of them for the last six years,” he said. “They’re a pretty tightknit group, more like a band of brothers.”

Playoff opener goes to GCFP KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

“To win in soccer, you need skill, hard work and luck. We just didn’t have the luck that time.”

After his son Mitch’s home run propelled the Gord Closson Forest Products Fastball Club to victory in their final regular-season game, it was Dave Devana’s turn to provide the power in the playoff opener at Waldon Park in Glenora on Tuesday.

Dave Devana hit the only homer of the game, a solo blast in the sixth inning, and had a team-high two hits and two RBIs as GCFP beat Lantzville Pub 6-1 to take the lead in the best-of-three playoff series.

Marty Steen (1-for-2), Dom Mansueti (1-for-2 with an RBI), Steve Lingren (1-for3) and Dan Whiteford (1-for-3) also had hits, but Brad Robinson was responsible for three RBIs despite not picking up a hit in the contest.

Robinson came to the plate in the third inning with Steen and Whiteford on

base. Steen made a move to steal third, and when Lantzville missed the throw to third, he was able to make it home.

Whiteford, meanwhile, took third on the overthrow, then got home as Robinson grounded out. A sacrifice fly in the fifth inning gave Robinson his third RBI. “It was a productive night for Brad as far as batting runs in without getting a hit,” manager Joe DiLalla said.

Pitcher Craig Snyder had a strong night, going seven innings and striking out 10 while allowing just three hits. The only run Lanztville scored wasn’t charged to him as the leadoff batter in the first inning reached base due to a fielding error.

The playoff series continued in Nanaimo on Thursday evening. If a third game is necessary, it will be played at Waldon Park next Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Inter B Thunder in driver’s seat as lacrosse playoffs start Friday KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

As has frequently been the case this season, the intermediate B Cowichan Valley Thunder overcame a couple of rough starts last weekend to win their last two regular season games in convincing fashion.

“In about 10 of our 14 games, we’ve been losing to start the game,” head coach Lorne Winship noted.

A 19-4 victory over the Juan de Fuca Whalers at the Island Savings Centre last Friday and a 14-3 win over the Oceanside Sharks in Parksville the next day gave the Thunder a record of 12 wins and two losses on the season, making them overwhelming favourites as the Island playoffs begin this Friday.

Colin Winship led the way on Friday with six goals and three assists, while James Taylor scored four times and set up one, and Mathieu Jung had a goal and 10 helpers. Brayden Zunti finished with three goals and one assist, Kyle Page had two goals and one assist, Brody Black had one of each, and Travis Clark and Olin Webb scored singles, Clark’s being his first of the season.

Travis Clark scored his first goal of the season in the Thunder’s 19-4 win over Juan de Fuca last Friday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] Dallas McLaughlin and Mitch Page each had one assist.

The point parade on Saturday was just as long: Kyle Page had a hat trick and one assist, James Taylor had a goal and five assists, and Winship had a goal and four assists. O’Neill, McLaughlin, Zunti and Clayton Vickers each scored twice, and Mitch Page had a goal and three helpers. Clinging and Jacob Taylor each had two assists, and Clark and Wyatt Gibb had one helper apiece.

The 12-2 Thunder will face the

6-8 Whalers in a best-of-three battle for the Island banner, beginning this Friday at 7 p.m. at the Island Savings Centre.

The Thunder hold a massive statistical edge over the Whalers, but will still need to execute if they want to win and advance to provincials.

“As long as everybody comes out and we’re not overconfident, I think we can out-play them and out-work them,” coach Winship said. “If we play our best, we’ll win.”

In just the first week of the Pan Am Games, two Cowichan Valley high school graduates have earned gold medals for Canada.

S h aw n i g a n L a ke S c h o o l alumna Hannah Darling of Warsaw, Ontario helped Canada’s women’s rugby sevens team to gold in their tournament. Canada defeated the U.S. 55-7 in the championship game last Sunday after blazing through the preliminaries with wins over Colombia (55-0), Mexico (60-0) Brazil (36-0), Argentina (45-0) and the U.S. (3412). Darling didn’t factor into the scoring for Canada, but did get called on to start against Argentina and in the preliminary game against the U.S. Brentwood College School

product Mar tin Barakso, a Nanaimo native now rowing for Princeton University, helped Canada to gold in the men’s eight on Wednesday. Canada finished the final in 6:07.01, more than three seconds ahead of the second-place boat from Argentina and more than five seconds ahead of the third-place Americans. Barakso also rowed in the men’s pair, finishing fifth out of six crews in the final on Tuesday.

Duncan’s own Pat Kay, an alumnus of Cowichan Secondary School, was expected to play for Canada in the men’s rugby sevens tournament, but was replaced on the roster by veteran Phil Mack on the eve of the Games. As with the women’s sevens team, the men went on to win gold.
