FULLY EQUIPPPED FOR A PARADE

Nine bags of garbage on roadside ‘just wrong’: resident

This natty junior firefighter dressed in all his gear, including nifty shades and a big black moustache, in Saturday’s blazing heat, has plainly already made his career choice as he rides atop a fire truck in the Grande Parade through Duncan. For more parade photos and video, see www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Theresa Graham was sickened when she walked her dog last Thursday and found nine bags of garbage dumped on the side of the road near her home in Shawnigan Lake.

“The ravens, the crows have gotten into these bags and it’s strewn all over,” she said.

The garbage was left in a wooded stretch along the west arm of the Shawnigan Beach Estates, said Graham, a spot where somebody could dump without fear of being seen by any houses.

When she phoned the Cowichan Valley Regional District to notify them of the dump site, they directed her to the Ministry of Transportation as the party responsible for cleaning up the mess.

“They’re wiping their hands of this problem, which has only just begun,” she said of the CVRD. The regional district moved recently to eliminate their neighbourhood recycling bins, where people could take their glass, plastics and other recyclables, due to costly contamination by a few who were lighting the bins on fire and littering the sites with non-

recyclable materials.

Graham thinks the dumped bags are likely in protest of the move, along with the implementation of the new MMBC recycling rules, that state residents cannot put glass and film plastics, like plastic bags, into their blue bins.

“What can a person do to protest? But they’re not really helping the citizens. And the glass and this heat, and I live in a heavily forested area and it’s got me sick to my stomach,” said Graham.

“This is just wrong.”

It’s not just her area that’s being affected.

“I have a friend who lives at the south end of the lake and they’re experiencing the same thing down there,” she said. “This is not becoming an isolated incident.”

She thinks the problem could spread even further. She spoke to a friend who lives in Duncan who had offered to take Graham’s things and put them in her recycling, but that’s no longer an option.

“Now North Cowichan is also going to be putting this new MMBC regulation in place.”

The ban will remain in place until Oct. 15.

Gas, propane and briquette cooking stoves and portable campfires are still permitted, provided the flame is less than 15 centimetres.

The ban does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments, although most fire departments in the Cowichan Valley have enacted their own fire bans.

“With the current trend of warm and dry weather, as well as lightning-caused wildfires in the region, human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews needed to fight naturally occurring wildfires,” Drysdale said.

Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sen-

Festival ready to Rock the Woods KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A big-name “nostalgia act” will be joining the usual eclectic mix of indie and alternative bands at this year’s Rock of the Woods.

Bubba Sparxxx, the southern rapper best known for his 2003 hit Deliverance, which went to No. 1 on MuchMusic, will headline the July 25-27 festival, which is relocating to Sahtlam for 2014.

It was a conscious decision by promoter Dave Bain to bring in someone with name recognition.

“The last few years, we wanted to highlight local music, but it always felt like we weren’t going to do that unless we support it with international bands,” he said.

Sparxxx’s appearance is geared toward bringing local fans of a specific age out to the festival.

“We’re tapping into the nostalgia of the under-30 crowd,” Bain explained. “We needed somebody that’s going to make the youth of the Valley recognize Rock of the Woods.”

Sparxxx is also a bit of a departure from the largely Canadian and Pacific Northwest focus that Rock of the Woods has had in the past.

“It’s definitely more international this year,” he said. “We

Fly Moon Royalty returns to Rock of the Woods after stunning the crowd with their set at the 2013 festival. [CITIZEN FILE] want to make it bigger, and this is kind of the year to do it.”

Other bands whose names will be familiar to radio listeners include Canadian acts Wake Owl, an indie folk duo, and The Pack A.D., a guitar and drums indie rock duo. Also on board is Washingtonian Robert Delong, who is developing a following in the U.S.

for what Bain bills as “live electronic” music.

“He has a really nice flow,” Bain said. “Nothing hard-hitting.”

Other bands Bain is excited about are The Donkeys, a San Diego band he met while they were touring with the Fruit Bats, and who actually planned their 2014 tour around ROTW; Brent

Amaker and the Rodeo, a unique Seattle g roup the promoter describes as “Devo meets Johnny Cash”; and The Roper Show, a country-flavoured Victoria band whose recently released video for Yukon Girl is a must-see.

Back from previous years are Humans, an electronic-minded act that had the crowd dancing at their 2011 appearance, and Fly Moon Royalty, whose Victoria set last winter sold out in advance after they blew the audience away at ROTW 2013.

Local acts on the bill include Redwood Green, Band of Rascals, Dave Cormier and High Noon to Midnight. Sunday’s schedule will focus largely on local bands, and kids under 12 get in free that day.

Rock of the Woods takes pride in the fact that the festival has never generated more than seven pounds of garbage, thanks in large part to their huge corps of volunteers. The green program will step up again this year.

Three-day tickets are $165 with camping, or $125 without. Singleday passes are $49.95 for Friday, $59.95 for Saturday, and $29.95 for Sunday. Tickets are available online at rockofthewoods.com, or at Mill Bay Pizza, Duncan Music, or Area 51.

Rural breakins hit Cobble Hill residents KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Shawingan Lake RCMP are investigating a pair of residential break-ins in the Cobble Hill area over the last few weeks.

Both crimes occurred in July and involved rural residences on side roads off Telegraph Road.

Neither house was located near other residences.

“Both break-ins occurred during the day while the residents were at work,” Shawnigan Lake Detachment Commander Sgt. Scott Stephen said. “Both houses were locked and had damage done when the culprits forced entry to them.”

Any suspicious events or vehicles should be reported to the local RCMP, Stephen added.

“And what the heck are we going to do with the garbage and this is basically what the big question is going to be pretty darn soon,” she said.

The clean-up costs come out of the taxpayers’ pockets she pointed out, and taxpayers are also paying for recycling.

“It’s a double-whammy,” said Graham.

The Ministry of Transportation has a maintenance contractor that is required to clean up garbage at least once a week along major routes, and whenever they come across it on other routes.

The contractor has not reported an increase in garbage, said the Ministry.

“However, there is usually more garbage pickup in the summer because of tourism and more people using the rest areas and pullouts,” the Ministry said.

Anyone who sees garbage along major routes should call the maintenance contractor at 1-877-391-7310.

Odour survey to help deal with stink: council LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Chemainus businesses, waiting for some solution to their complaints about the stink they say is emanating from a composting plant on the Trans Canada Highway, saw a light at the end of the tunnel last week.

They heard from North Cowichan CAO Dave Devana at the July 9 North Cowichan council meeting that the Cowichan Valley Regional District has done a composting and odour survey as a response to complaints from the Chemainus Industrial Park about the smell.

“The CVRD did a two-month survey where they posted students around the area to determine what the odours were, the intensity of the odours and where the odours were coming from, whether it was from farms, from other facilities in the area or from the composting facility. The CVRD is expecting a report and it’s my understanding it will come forward in the next week or two,” he explained to an audience that included some industrial park business representatives.

“We have been told by property owners in that area that we need to accelerate some kind of action and we have told them, ‘no, we need to get the report first.’ When we get the report, we’ll find out the sources of the odour, the intensity of the odour, and then we can decide if we can take steps,” Devana said.

Coun. Jennifer Woike asked that North Cowichan council get a speedy, full report as soon as it comes to the regional district table.

Coun. Barb Lines thanked the people “who’ve taken the time to keep us informed about the situation. I gather this information will help us narrow down exactly what is causing the problem. I’m glad it’s taking place and that we’ll have a report saying if it’s the wind, if it’s the process, what it is caused by.”

“I actually phoned [CVRD chair and Ladysmith Mayor Rob] Hutchins this morning because I’d had an email asking, ‘does anybody care?’” Coun. Ruth Hartmann added.

“We all really care but there is a process whether they believe it’s slow or not. There are other jurisdictions, too. But, the CVRD and our own staff have really put in a lot of hours on this. Whenever we get a phone call, Mr. Devana has driven up there, I’ve driven up there, Mayor Hutchins drives down from Ladysmith. It’s been really well looked at and I think it’s in all our best interests to wait for the report.”

Coun. John Koury, however, went for another angle, suggesting that dealing with the odour complaints should be handled by someone else.

“I don’t think [dealing with the stink issue] is the role of council at present. What concerns me right now is, what vision do we have for that highway corridor running through Chemainus? We have spent a lot of time and local resources on a number of local area plans. But the stink issue is not the big picture for that area. I’d like the bureaucrats to continue to do their work, to help us understand their problem better while council is creating a vision for that corridor.”

OUR VIEW

Stop leaving trash in our collective living room ick up after yourself.

It seems like a simple enough request.

Our parents drill it into us as children when they told us to clean our rooms or pick up the games and toys.

Oddly enough, the lesson didn’t stick for far too many people — at least when it comes to our public spaces.

All too often people are making their garbage somebody else’s problem.

Why is it that a lot of folks seem to think it’s okay to drop their food wrapper or beverage can on the ground wherever they

P

may be standing or walking?

Would you go to somebody’s house and drop a potato chip bag on the living room carpet?

Would you discard your halfeaten hot dog on the front mat as you entered the doorway?

How about smashing a glass container on the kitchen floor for anyone and everyone to trek through the broken shards?

No? You wouldn’t treat a friend, acquaintance or stranger with such disrespect in their own home?

Well why, then, is it okay to treat all of the above with disrespect in our collective living

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

room, kitchen and front step?

That’s essentially what our public spaces are.

They are the places we can all go to have fun, relax and meet.

But we can’t do those things when they are littered with refuse.

Just because there are no physical walls or floor doesn’t mean it’s suddenly all right to toss anything you want anywhere you want.

It’s especially egregious to do so when there are garbage bins available for your use.

Just because you have to walk a couple of metres doesn’t negate

your responsibility to be a good citizen and use them.

Nobody should be that lazy.

Because that’s really what it comes down to — laziness.

There’s no excuse for not hanging onto you candy bar wrapper for a couple of minutes until you can discard it properly.

Nobody ever died from having to carry their pop tin to the trash.

Even if you have to take a bag with you and collect your trash to take home and for proper disposal, that’s what you should do.

We’re all guests in our public spaces; we must act like it.

If gas pipelines develop leaks, little environmental harm is likely.

If an oil line, especially one carrying bitumen, develops a leak, it is an environmental disaster.

However, in the case of the Northern Gateway and other lines to the B.C. coast, the most likely and biggest disaster emanates from the shipping carrying the oil to trans-Pacific markets.

This is the primary reason that I have been actively against the pipelines.

It is amazing that Mr. Peckford does not seem to understand this aspect of the total package.

For the past six months a man, who is living with two types of disabilities, has been picked upon by our local waste pick up crew.

This man bought a waste container with wheels so he could bring out his garbage/recycling.

This seemed to be okay for a while until he moved from downtown to up by Berkeys corner.

Then, the crew workers started placing wonderful orange and red stickers in the containers advising that they will refuse to take the garbage unless he bought a proper container.

This man went out and bought a proper container.

Now it takes him a lengthy time to bring the container out weekly! It has nothing to do with the weight of the bags — he only throws out one bag every other week and recycles everything possible.

This man is not the only one who used a wheeled container!

There are several in the same area who use the same type and they have never got a sticker!

Is this selective? It must be because he has spoken with others and they said they have not received a sticker or a warning that pickup will be refused.

He has tried to resolve this but the waste manager said they have to look after the workers first. So to protect the waste workers this man has to start bringing out the garbage container hours in advance, as he has to stop and rest every few steps.

Can he rely on others? Who does anything for their neighbours for free and without expectations?

We are the ultimate source of CO2 emissions Ian Kimm appears to blame the aircraft industry for the “high level” of CO2 emissions. This does follow the logic of many who blame the oil industry or pipelines for vehicle emissions.

Perhaps that should be the fault of the auto industry instead!

Obviously by the same logic electric companies are to blame for power generation emissions!

Ready for realism? Check the mirror — turn on the light to get a good look. Who is it who requires transportation or power and ask where does this energy come from that I use/need daily without thought? Ugly answer?

Seriously this can be “fixed”

but recognizing a problem’s source must be a first step. And by the way, look up electric airplanes — by Air Bus! Bob Conibear Duncan

Peckford blind to shipping risks Re: Brian Peckford’s opinion piece It is unclear whether Brian Peckford is amazingly naive or simply in the pay of big oil.

His opinion piece in Friday’s paper lumps together all pipelines, irrespective of their destination or cargo.

COFFEE time On June 5, the newest members of the North Cowichan/Duncan detachment’s Auxiliary Constable Program hosted their graduation ceremony. This was a combined class of 14, with 11 candidates from the North Cowichan/Duncan Detachment, two from Shawnigan Lake, and one from Ladysmith.

The classes began in January and included a variety of topics, including: law, ethics, dress and deportment, use of force, community policing, and officer safety.

Woman upset by crowd’s littering “Why the lack of respect?”

Jade Pascal, a friend, and the friend’s two children were thrilled to be able to walk to the Cowichan Sportsplex last weekend and watch a free movie under the stars.

Until the lights came up and Pascal saw the amount of garbage movie-goers had left behind.

“The park was in complete disarray with garbage littered everywhere,” she said. “I was just so upset. This was a free event put on and their motto is to give back to the community and this is what we get?”

Movie-goers were admonished numerous times, including on the big screen, to please pick up their garbage, Pascal said, and there were conveniently placed bins at the exits of the park that people could have used.

“Why the lack of respect?” she questioned.

The free movie night has been offered once a year for the last two years, funded by Coastal Community Credit Union, hosted by the Sportsplex and put on

by Sunset Cinema.

Pascal is concerned that if people continue to leave such a mess behind sponsors will reconsider the wonderful family event.

“It’s like going to the drive-in, it was the most amazing thing,” Pascal described. “The kids and everything, they had so much fun and I would hate for the community to lose that.”

Pascal, her friend and the kids stayed for half an hour after the film ended to help pick up the

JADE PASCAL, movie-goer

trash that had been left behind.

It was sad, she said, to have to answer the kids when they asked why people hadn’t picked up their garbage as they were asked.

Catherine Brandon Sportsplex executive director, applauded Pascal’s community-mindedness.

“I am just so impressed with her level of commitment,” Brandon said.

“She really has a clear picture of what the Sportsplex means to the community because it is a huge opportunity for people to be able to come to a free movie.

I admire her concerns over this and wanting to get that message out there that everybody’s really lucky to have such a great place to come to, to see a movie in the summer with their kids and it’s just a matter of educating people that they’re the ones benefiting, so why risk that by behaving poorly?”

She also assured that while movie-goers may have left trash behind, the facility was in great shape following the event, as Coastal Community had arranged with the Young Professionals of Cowichan to do clean-up.

Thanks to these volunteers, along with Pascal and her crew, the Sportsplex was left in excellent condition, Brandon said, and there’s no reason to believe the free film night will not continue to flourish in the years to come.

Superhero issues challenge to Valley LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Cowichan water conservationists called in a superhero to kick off a Valley wide challenge Saturday, July 12.

Cowichan leaders gathered on the stage at Duncan’s City Square to welcome Water Woman and add some fun to a serious event.

Cowichan Watershed Board members, Rob Hutchins (CVRD chair and Ladysmith Mayor), Ian Morrison (Area F director), Ross Forrest (Lake Cowichan Mayor), Tim Kulchyski and Debra Toporowski (Cowichan Tribes) as well as David Slade and Dr. Lorna Medd were joined on stage by Duncan Mayor Phil Kent and Coun.

Michelle Staples.

Hutchins was especially proud to see everyone join the Cowichan

Water Conservation Challenge because his Town of Ladysmith is a water conservation leader and Kulchyski knows first hand the serious effect of drought on the Cowichan River.

Low snowpack, a dry spring and early summer combined to see Cowichan Lake at its lowest at this time of year since 1956 when the weir at Lake Cowichan was built.

Flow in the Cowichan River has been reduced to about 70 per cent of normal flow to save water.

The idea is for other communities to meet or beat Ladysmith’s domestic water usage.

Water Woman was ready to help out, too.

Dressed in a flamboyant costume, she had capes ready for her cohorts as they prepared to step

out into the City Square crowd and sign up new people for their Valley conservation challenge.

What did they need to promise to do?

The list was short and the tasks not difficult, either, she said.

They include testing your toilets for leaks; waiting for a full load to run dishwashers or washing machines; letting your lawn go brown; turning off water when brushing teeth or rinsing dishes; mulching your trees and garden plants and respecting watering restrictions.

Even on a sweltering afternoon, the caped crew got about 100 pledges.

Tamara MacGrecho’s lyrical dancing impresses judges and crowd. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Carlow Rush possesses showmanship as well as dancing skill. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Tie tops category as Duncan dancers face off LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Duncan’s Got Talent took to the CUPE stage for the first time last week, offering dancers the chance to strut their stuff for judges/mentors Laura Cardriver and Cathy Schmidt and an appreciative audience.

In first place were belly dancer Daisy Hieland and hip hopper Vance Driver, in second place was lyric ballet dancer Tamara MacGrecho, and in third was hip hop dancer Carlow Rush. Schmidt urged Rush to look into acting as well as dancing. She said MacGrecho had shown grit in including a solo she had learned that very morning.

Driver has won this competition before and, since the judges knew his moves well, “we were expecting to see your “A” game and you brought it,” Schmidt told him.

As for Hieland’s performance, both Cardriver and Schmidt said they were thrilled to see another aspect of dancing brought to the competition.

This week, Duncan’s Got Talent is moving to the world of instrumental musicians and singer/songwriters and next week the stage opens up for singers of covers and show tunes.

Daisy Hieland’s belly dancing was a mixture of style and sensuality. For video of the contestants, check out our YouTube channel or go to www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN

Matson left a colourful legacy in the Cobble Hill community where his farm was situated VALLEY, From Page 10 a grand scale, Sam grew fruits, wheat to feed his pigs and had dairy cows. It’s known that 2,000 bushels of oats were threshed during one harvest at Hill Farm.

How much time Matson actually spent on the farm is a mystery

as he had many business interests, including the Colonist, a bus line in Duncan, and a cabin on the Cowichan River that is today’s Sahtlam Lodge. After the First World War he loaned or leased the Fisher Road farmhouse for use as a Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishment training centre

“in all classes of agricultural pursuits”. In July 1920 it was reported he’d removed the last of his effects from Hill Farm, the house had been electrified with its own power pant, and the first 40 of an anticipated 200 servicemen/students were on site.

Known to be a heavy drinker,

Matson has left us with at least one colourful Cobble Hill anecdote although it may be apocryphal: He’d often spend the weekend at the farm, arriving, in a drunken state, by train at Cobble Hill station. Where he’d be met by one of his farm hands and trundled home in a wheel-

barrow! I can accept his arriving from the city in a stupor but I say apocryphal because, logically, wouldn’t he have been picked up by car or at least a horse-drawn buggy? Then again, why look a great story in the mouth? www.twpaterson.com

The Last Month Has Been Incredible for Tennis Fans in Canada!

With the emergence of Eugenie Bouchard, Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil at Wimbledon, Canada has been a buzz of tennis fever the last few weeks! I caught that buzz while in England in the middle of June, at both the Aegon International at Eastbourne, and the first three days of Wimbledon, while readying myself for my return trip to Vancouver Island.

I saw some amazing tennis at Eastbourne, where the weather was brilliant for the five days I was there, sunny and warm with temperatures up to 26 degrees. One player who I have wanted to interview for some time was French player Julien Benneteau. Not a household name perhaps, but a player who has been on the ATP tour for many years. He is 33 now, best rankings in singles, 26th and he is currently at his best ranking in doubles right now at 12th position, with his partner Roger Vasselin.

Benneteau, is probably the best player in the world to have never won a singles title on the ATP tour, he has been runner up nine times. I asked him how he felt, after being just one point away from that first title in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year.

Benneteau responded, “I tried everything to win the match, but my opponent at that moment elevated his game, it is true I was one point away from that win, I gave everything to win the match, it is tough, but this is tennis.” Me: “Are you going to keep playing to win that first title?” Benneteau, “No this is not the thing that is going to keep me playing. Obviously, it is a goal, but it is not the only goal I have, it is not the main goal in my career.

We have the Davis Cup in France, this is big this is huge so I

Me: “I saw you win the French Open Doubles title in Paris this was fantastic!” Julien stated, “The feel of joy the feel of happiness to win the biggest tournament for a French player in doubles at home, I am sure if I had own one of singles finals on the tour, I would not be happier than I was on this day. It was amazing to win this title on Centre Court in Paris at home.” Me: Would it compare to winning the bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012 or was it even greater?” Benneteau noted: “It is very close very very close, this is two big moments, my best moments in my career.” Me: You played Milos Raonic in Vancouver in Davis Cup play three years ago, how would you rate him, what potential do you think Milos has?” Benneteau replied, “He is already very high in the top ten, he is improving and improving every year, he has such a huge weapon with his serve and forehand, he is very powerful. Of course he is going to be in contention to win a Grand Slam in the next few years!”

Piggies host Rugby School for exhibition game this Sunday KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

RiverCats remain perfect KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Beginning with a mercy victory at home last Thursday, the midget AA Duncan RiverCats went on a three-game run last week to improve their record to 7-0.

Although the RiverCats and Victoria’s AAA team played a full seven innings last Thursday, the game was over after five as the Duncan team led 12-2. Starting pitcher Jordy Frost threw four innings without giving up a hit and struck out seven, while the offence got three hits from Blair Robertson and two each from Zach Komst, Reiya Tomida and Frost.

On Sunday, the RiverCats travelled to

Campbell River to face both the host team and Comox. The first game was another five-inning mercy, as Duncan topped Campbell River 14-1. Tomida threw three innings of one-hit shutout ball, while Keir Baknes, Tyler McWhirter and Adam Sakuma had two hits apiece.

The RiverCats went on to beat Comox 14-8 in the second game, as Sakuma pitched the first four innings and allowed just two runs. Robertson and Jaysen Paddle each had three hits each, while Komst and Baknes had two hits.

The RiverCats will play host to Campbell River this Sunday with games at Evans Park at noon and 3 p.m.

The Cowichan Rugby Football Club will welcome a very special guest to its hallowed turf this weekend.

A U18 Cowichan Select team will square off at 2 p.m. on Sunday against Warwickshire, England’s Rugby School, the originators of the sport. Legend has it, the eponymous sport was invented in 1823, when, during a game of soccer, William Webb Ellis took the ball in his arms and ran forward.

Rugby School insisted on making a stop at the CRFC as part of its Canadian tour.

“They are specifically coming to play Cowichan because of our reputation,”

CRFC junior program coordinator Kenton McNutt said.

Not surprisingly, Rugby School is a regular source of players for the English national side.

Following that game, there will be another exhibition between the B.C. senior women’s team and a B.C. women’s select squad at 3:15 p.m. Both teams are expected to include players from the Cowichan club.

The Cowichan U18 Select team defeated Bancroft’s School from Essex, England 1715 this past Monday. The final visiting side this summer will be Scotland’s Edinburgh Academy, which will stop at the club on Aug. 16.

Brodie Dawson is ready to wow fans at Sunfest Friday, Aug. 1. [SUBMITTED]

When Brodie Dawson takes the main stage at Sunfest Friday, Aug. 1, at 5:15 it will be the realization of a dream for the Vocalist of the Year at the 2014 Vancouver Island Music Awards.

Using her great voice in what Dawson calls soulful folky blues, this performer is determined to take the country music world by storm.

She says her musical voyage has come full circle, beginning on Vancouver Island where she opened for Juno award winner Ray Bonneville at her very first show and going on to Montreal where she sang in clubs and recorded her first CD before migrating up to Yellowknife. Now, she calls the Comox Valley home.

Dawson has shared stages with such performers as Wil, Tracy Riley, Annie Becker, Rick Fines, and Serena Ryder and appeared on CBC’s Vinyl Café. Her debut CD The Lost Tapes contains music that’s now been found and remastered but to hear her live is a special treat.

Cowichan storms out in final series opener KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Vancouver Island Intermediate B Lacrosse League playoffs began in impressive form for the Cowichan Valley Thunder as they crushed the Saanich Tigers 23-4 at the Island Savings Centre on Tuesday evening.

Cowichan led 9-3 after the first period and 16-4 after two. Dallas McLaughlin had a fantastic outing in net.

Brandon Corby led the scoring parade with five goals and one assist, Colin Winship had four goals and seven assists, while Tyson Black had three goals and six helpers, and Adam Golia had three goals and five assists.

James Taylor scored three times and set up two goals, Mathieu Jung had two goals and six assists, and Jimmy Johnnie, Mitch Page and Corwin Trent

Tyson Black controls play against Saanich on Tuesday. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] also scored. Thomas Charlie added one assist.

Although the Thunder now lead the best-of-three series 1-0, coach Lorne Winship isn’t banking on a sweep when play resumes at Panorama on Friday.

“Our roster will be completely

different, with players away to NAIG, the BC Summer Games, work commitments and holidays,” he said. “I’ll be lucky to have 12 players.”

If a third game is necessary, the teams will play Monday night at Fuller Lake Arena.

Gord Closson club bound for fastball league final KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

In their first year back in the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League after a multi-year absence, the Gord Closson Forest Products club will be playing for the title.

Despite playing six fewer games than anyone else, the Duncan team finished second in the regular season, then dispatched thirdplace Palladian 5-3 in a one-game playoff on Tuesday.

Craig Snyder started the game on the mound and helped his own cause with a three-run homer in the first inning. Korrey Gareau pitched the last four-and-onethird innings, striking out 12.

Snyder finished the game with two of the Duncan team’s four hits, while Marty Steen and catcher Dennis Ewart had one

each. Ewart and Garrett Elliott recorded RBIs. The Duncan team will face the winner of the other playoff game between first-place Wheatsheaf and fourth-place Baker Supply in Nanaimo on July 23.

Closson finished the regular season with two games against the Nanaimo midget team, which went winless this season. They won the first game 17-0 as Gareau struck out all 15 batters he faced in a five-inning mercying.

In the second game, Closson loaned chucker Rick Smith to the midgets. Smith pitched a one-hitter against his mates, striking out a near-perfect 14 over five innings.

The lone hit was a two-run homer

by Dave Devana after Bob Court walked. Gareau started the second game for the Duncan team

and went three innings with nine strikeouts. Trevor Gicas came in for the last two innings as the teams tied 2-2.

“We left it at 2-2 after five,” manager Joe DiLalla said. “So the midgets got a tie out of it and we got to face Smitty, which was good for us.”

The team will compete this weekend in the second annual BC Cup, which replaced the senior B provincial championships last year. This year’s tournament is hosted by Wheatsheaf in Cedar.

Gareau was also named the league’s MVP and top pitcher prior to Tuesday’s games.

“He kind of carried us all year, and hopefully he carries us again this weekend. It’s been pretty fantastic to have him and Smitty pitch for us this year.”

Thunder reach bantam A provincials KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

After clawing their way into the bantam A lacrosse provincial championships, the Cowichan Valley Thunder gave it their all, but fell short of reaching the medal round.

Regardless of the result, head coach Dale Nordstrom was proud of his team and all the work put in to get by the Saanich Braves and Coquitlam Adanacs in order to get the wildcard berth at the provincial tournament.

Game MVPs at provincials were Brody Black, Isaac Tonkin-Palmer, Caleb Nordstrom, Logan Hammerer and goalie Colin Jeffrey. Carter Bouma received the Warrior Fair Play award for his team, while Black was selected to the tournament all-star team.

The bantam A Thunder qualified for provincials thanks to a 7-2 win over Coquitlam in Delta after they placed second in the Island playoffs.

“They played with class and determination and each and every player put all

of the lessons taught by Coach Dale to great use and showed their true talent,” team manager Paula Harris said.

Black and Tonkin-Palmer each had two goals and an assist in the victory, and Gavin Spencer, Wil Wright and Devyn Zunti also scored. Rhys Mazurenko had two assists, while Sam Baxter, Hunter Hieta and Jeffrey added single helpers.

The team expressed thanks to the parents for their support throughout the season, and to Wal-Mart for assisting with fundraising efforts.
