MINOR INJURIES IN CRASH THAT SNARLS TRAFFIC Emergency personnel had to extract a male from a silver Mazda following a collision at the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and Bench Road early last Saturday afternoon. Police reported that a southbound vehicle turned in front of a northbound vehicle, and was struck as it cut across traffic. The southbound vehicle spun around and struck another vehicle waiting for the light at Bench Road. Several minor injuries resulted in the two main vehicles.

Care team stop-gap solution to Lake doctor crisis SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Medical help is on the horizon for folks in the Town of Lake Cowichan, but it’s not the new physician so many have been hoping and waiting for. Concern bubbled up late last year, after Dr. Peter Postuk announced he was moving his family practice to Duncan in the autumn of 2013. Subsequently, Dr. Philip Kerswell announced he is following Postuk to Duncan,

Peter Baljet

and the physician the community believed was in line to take over for Postuk changed his mind. This will leave Lake Cowichan without a doctor. Though a town hall meeting addressed the difficulty of luring family doctors to rural areas and led to the forming of a Choose Cowichan Lake committee, a group still active in trying to encourage doctors to take a chance on life at the lake, stakeholders are now tackling the issue

from another angle — by developing a model for an “integrated multidisciplinary primary and community care team.” That’s health-speak for a new way of delivering health care that’s being rolled out in many communities across the country, according to Valerie Nicol, the executive director of the Cowichan Valley Division of Family Practice. “The idea of an integrated team is so that patients don’t have to

run around to a bunch of different places to get their needs met,” Nicol said. It could mean that any number of services — from physiotherapy to a walk-in clinic to dieticians, social workers, specialists and more — could be lined up and work in concert to take care of the needs of Lakers. “The goal is to create this integrated team in Lake Cowichan to support the people there in their time of need when there’s a dwin-

dling supply of doctors,” Nicol said. To be clear, she stressed, it’s not a solution to the doctor shortage. “It’s meant to provide people with some continuity of care while that doctor situation is being sorted out. We don’t want people to think they are getting this instead of doctors,” she said. What services will be available is not yet known, Nicol said. That’s See Public sessions • page 4

Raimondo back at the board table SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Longtime Cobble Hill Area Director Gerry Giles wasn’t able to make it to the regular Cowichan Valley Regional District board meeting Wednesday evening so she sent her alternate director in her stead. It turned out the alternate was a familiar face for most in the boardroom. It was Frank Raimondo. That’s right, the same Frank Raimondo that spent 24 years on the other side of the table in the role of CVRD chief administrative officer. Current CAO Warren Jones replaced Raimondo when he retired back in 2007. During a short break to remedy some technical difficulties,

It isn’t the first time, however, that the two positions intertwined. Following his four-year stint as an elected director — including two as board chair in the mid 1970s — Ralph Keir (Area A, Mill Bay Malahat) joined the staff, assuming the role of chief administrator until his retirement in 1983.

Assault suspect arrested ‘High risk’ bust nets guns, drugs after six-hour impasse SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Access to firearms and concerns about a suspect’s mental health prompted the RCMP to summon their emergency response and canine units during a six-hour ordeal in Chemainus. The incident was sparked Sunday night when a woman reported to North Cowichan/ Duncan officers that she was assaulted. By the time police arrived, she’d left the home to seek medical treatment, so police turned their attention to the suspect, who they believed was still inside. “It was also reported that the suspect had access to firearms within the home, and there was a concern of the mental health of the male,” detachment spokesman Cpl. Jon Stuart said. “Officers made repeated attempts over several hours to communicate with the suspect.” With officers and dogs still containing the property, a member of the Emergency Response

Cpl Jon Stuart, RCMP Team found and arrested the suspect in some bushes near the house about 2:15 a.m. Monday. “He was taken into custody without incident or any harm to him, the officers involved, or the general public,” Stuart said. “Several firearms were located and seized for public safety.” Stuart added that given the scene was quickly contained, there was no public danger in this matter. The investigation is continuing, and charges are pending against the suspect. The victim was treated in hospital and later released with minor injuries.

Cocaine, guns and other drugs were seized during what police called a “high risk” operation north of Duncan. With help from a federal policing unit, North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP searched a rental property on the Trans Canada Highway June 5, and made four arrests in the process. Mounties found what they were looking for. “Several items were seized, including 60 marijuana plants, 10 lbs of bagged marijuana bud, a quantity of cocaine, and other drugs,” said North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jon Stuart in a press release. The officer said “a substantial amount of cash” and two firearms were also seized — one a modified SKS 7.62 mm semi auto rifle with over capacity prohibited magazines, and the other, a 12-gauge modified shotgun. “This type of search is risky for the police, as there is often a presence of guns with drugs,” Stuart said. Of the four arrested, all were later released, but each faces char-

Happy 140th birthday to you North Cowichan! Tuesday, June 18 marked the 140th birthday of the Corporation of the District of North Cowichan. The 1873 petition to the province to become its own municipality reads like a who’s who list of street names in the currentday collection of communities. From Drinkwater to Skinner to Bonsall and Chisholm, and Beaumont and Creegan and Miller and more, the names make up the foundation of today’s landscape. Back in 1873

there were 70 actual residents in North Cowichan. That’s a stark contrast to today when it’s estimated that the population runs closer to 29,000, according to the 2011 census. Sarah Simpson, Citizen

Ducklings, dog lead to crashes SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Two days, two different types of animals and two allegedly intoxicated drivers kept Shawnigan RCMP busy over the weekend. On 9:45 a.m. Saturday, June 15 police, ambulance and volunteer firefighters from the Mill Bay hall rushed to the 3200 block of Cobble Hill Road to find an SUV had plowed through a fence and come to rest in a ditch. “The 21-year-old female driver from Shawnigan Lake advised police she was travelling east and swerved to miss hitting a dog,” Shawnigan Lake detachment commander Sgt. Rob Webb said in a press release. Webb said the Jaws of Life were required to remove a female passenger who had been riding in the front seat of the vehicle. He also

said a second woman, who had been riding in the back seat, was able to get out of the vehicle but fainted upon doing so. “Both were taken to Cowichan District Hospital with minor injuries,” Webb said. The driver, Webb said “was noted to have a strong odour of liquor.” Charges of impaired driving and over .08 are being recommended. It was the first of two crashes the detachment dealt with on the weekend.

The incident closed traffic on the highway for about an hour. “Fortunately all persons involved were treated on scene and no one had to be taken to the hospital,” Webb said. Sadly, some of the ducklings were run over when one of the cars, a grey Honda Accord police believe was near the back of the pack, swerved.

Conservation out of the cougar loop SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been several cougar sightings in Cowichan’s south end, but in everyone’s haste to inform each other, nobody remembered to let the B.C. Conservation Service know. “We haven’t got any [calls] yet,” said Conservation Officer Mark Kissinger on Monday. A fan-out email from the South Cowichan Community Policing office said a Block Watch captain in the

Mill Springs neighbourhood reported a young man walking into the path of one of the big cats just after midnight late last week while using the trail running between Deloume Road and Kinnoull Crescent. “He flashed his (very bright) light from his cell at the cougar and made noises which made the cougar walk away,” said the captain’s email. Community Policing volunteer Shirley Walker made sure to send the warning out to as many people as possible.

“Please pass along to friends and neighbours who live/walk in the area... for both the cougar and residents’ safety, we should all be aware,” she wrote. Kissinger wishes his office was also on that mailing list. “I think I’ve got to give them a phone call,” he said. “They’re not forwarding anything on to us.” Kissinger said it’s crucial for reports to be filed with the Conservation Service as it is in the best interest of both the public and the animals in question.

“The sooner they could get a hold of us, the sooner we could actually deal with it and give that animal a chance,” he said. “Unfortunately if no one gets a hold of us, things get worse and worse and we’re sort of forced into a situation where we have to put the animal down.” Residents in Crofton are buzzing about at least one cougar sighting in their neck of the woods on Vye Road. Please call 1-877-952-RAPP (7277) to report all humanwildlife conflict.

Clean up illegal soil dump site: province SANDRA MCCULLOCH TIMES COLONIST

T h e B. C. M i n i s t r y o f Environment is pressuring Evans Redi-Mix to clean up contaminated soil that the government says has been illegally dumped on the company’s Malahat property. Sampling of the soil by ministry officials in October 2012 found high concentrations of sodium and the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are suspected to cause cancer, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Because of the quantity of these elements found in samples, the soil is classified as contaminated, the Environment Ministry said in a letter sent to Evans Redi-Mix on June 10. The site, off the Trans Canada Highway near the South Shawnigan Lake turnoff, is one of about a dozen identified by the Cowichan Valley Regional District where contaminated soil has been dumped illegally.

“Your procedures do not include provisions for assessment of the potential for contamination...” MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT letter

In the letter, the ministry asked Evans Redi-Mix to hire a qualified professional to review the sampling results and, if necessary, determine remedial action. The government expects to receive a progress report by June 28. David Howells, managing director of Evans Redi-Mix, did not respond Friday to an email asking for an interview. The company deals in sand, gravel, concrete aggregate and golf course materials, according to advertisements. The government has had trouble getting a response from Evans Redi-Mix. In its latest letter to the company, the ministry notes that there has been a lack of response to its letters sent on July 18,

2012, and Oct. 9, 2012. The most recent note from Evans Redi-Mix was dated Aug. 25, 2011, which described the company’s procedures to accept and deposit fill at its site. Those procedures have not met the government standard, the ministry letter said. “Your procedures do not include provisions for assessment of the potential for contamination at prospective source sites ... and, when warranted, provisions for chemically characterizing soil prior to relocation,” it said. Proper records and adequate screening processes are lacking, the letter said. The Environment Ministry is requesting Evans Redi-Mix provide, by July 15, a written record of procedures “that would ensure an appropriate

level of due diligence regarding the importation of soil,” the letter said. South Island Aggregates has received a draft permit to operate a contaminated dump site on its Stebbings Road property but has run into opposition from Shawnigan residents worried about the safety of their water supply. Bruce Fraser, the Cowichan Valley Regional District director for Shawnigan, said the Evans Redi-Mix site is one of many illegal dump sites in the area. South Island Aggregates is “trying to make the case that they will have one that is well developed and controlled, but what this is demonstrating to us is lots of people cut corners and there’s very little ground for public trust here,” Fraser said.

OUR VIEW

Rural communities bearing brunt of shortage learly something in our system is not working. While we think it’s great that there’s a plan being developed to help Lake Cowichan weather a period of time of unknown length where they will be without the services of a doctor, we can’t help but think that they shouldn’t have to. There’s a shortage of doctors across B.C., and indeed, across Canada and it seems that our rural communities are bearing the brunt of this lack. High demand means physicians have their pick, generally, of where they would like to work,

and they are not choosing to work in our small towns and more isolated locales. It’s something of a self-perpetuating problem. Some doctors, of course, simply want to live in a larger city. Others, who might consider a more rural community, are discouraged by the idea that they will be the only medical doctor in town, and thus have to deal with a crushing patient load and difficulty in getting someone to take over their patients when they want/need a holiday break. So it seems that the fewer doctors in town, the harder it is to

recruit more when needed. That’s why Lake Cowichan now finds itself in a particularly unenviable spot. If it had at least one doctor, it would be easier to attract another. Other communities are in an even worse situation. At least folks from Lake Cowichan can travel to Duncan to a doctor or clinic with relative ease. Not so for other communities in the province and across the country that are more isolated by geography. Still, even with the ease of access to Duncan and the rest of

the Cowichan Valley, not having a doctor is a bad thing for the communities at the lake. When people are looking to move, particularly if they are either elderly, or young families with children, they check out the schools in the area and the availability of doctors. For a community that is trying to maintain and rebuild itself after mill closures and cuts in the forest industry hit hard in preceding decades, causing people to move away and businesses to close up shop, losing doctors can really hurt. It’s all intertwined, affect-

It really bothers me, when people write in voicing their opinions without listing all the facts. If they were in a courtroom, they would be listing all of the facts. This latest pay raise was also done by a previous NDP government. When Glen Clark, resigned as premier, the NDP government appointed a temporary premier. His name was Dan Miller. Immediately after being sworn in as interim premier, he gave hefty pay raises out to senior public officials. I ask, why is it always okay for the NDP to do these things, and yet it is a crime when the BC Liberals do the exact same thing? Maybe it is time that homework and research is done before voicing opinions when hot under the collar. What has happened to fair play when making criticisms?

ing the overall health of the community. It’s a complicated problem to fix, but it’s clear that we have to start taking steps. Having alternative services available is a good start. We cannot tell doctors where they must practice once their education is finished. Any attempt to do so would certainly be counterproductive in trying to attract people to the profession. There are some incentives starting to be offered, but perhaps it’s time to push for more. Doing nothing isn’t an option with a good outcome.

‘I could hear them sighing as they were going down’ My name is Thelma Godkin, although at one time I was known in these parts as Thelma Emblem, daughter of Walter and Gladys Emblem, of Saltair. I was reading your paper, and T.W. Paterson’s write up “Bushwacking for lost treasure is rewarding, if not profitable”, and it took me back to my younger days. Once, a very long time ago, I was a whistlepunk and worked for a lot of the bigger companies around this area, and all the years I worked there no one got hurt while I was blowing the

whistle. It was war time, and foreign countries needed the logs. It was train logging at the time too. We didn’t have trucks like they do today. We logged near Copper Mountain and the trees were so big and beautiful, and when they fell I felt like crying because I could hear them sighing as they were going down. They were really beautiful to see back then. Logging and mining were big in this area. To get to the logging I had to ride in a speeder to get to where I had to punk the whistle way up in the mountain. I was the only girl in the area doing it, and the guys treated me well. At one time we were logging on the side of Mount Brenton towards the Ladysmith

side and suddenly all these guys started running towards us, screaming, “you’ve gotta get out of here, gotta get of here now”, and there was a large forest fire coming towards us. I’ve gotta say thank God for clearcuts, or we never would have make it. All the young fellas and me were covered in soot and as black as one could be. Another time, they came and asked me if I’d give a speech at the museum and I showed them the tin hats and tin jackets and everyone saw how horrible they were to wear. I had these cork boots that lifted the linoleum right off the floor too. I rode a crummy back and forth and there was this guy, we called him Feet, and he was the driver, and

he had the biggest feet I’d ever seen. Anyways, I just wanted to share a little bit of my story that was oh so long ago in these parts. I’m still alive and in two museums here, in the Chemainus museum, and in the Duncan Forest Museum. Not many people can say that! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Horrifiedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by political staff raises Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salary raises to political staffers disgustingâ&#x20AC;? I am horrified. The very first order of business by the Liberal government was to raise maximum pay scale for the premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief of staff from $195,148 to $230,000 (36 per cent increase), hike all the ministerial assistantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay by about $11,000 and add a host of new political staff positions. Meanwhile, elderly disabled seniors will soon be charged $25 a month (out of an already meager $200 incidentals budget for the poorest) thanks to a Liberal policy change back in

October 2012. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bed pan rentals? What a racket, when one considers that wheelchairs are often donated by the community thanks to the hard work of local service groups. While I would like to encourage front line staff to revolt and continue to provide wheelchairs for free, I cannot. As our community knows very well, the Liberals closed publicly run care homes across this province so that the private sector could cash in, while attacking workers and their unions for the sole purpose of improving their financial bottom line. At 38 years old, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already a little old fash-

ioned; I think that the basic mobility of elderly disabled folks is a right not a privilege. Squeezing $300 a year from our most vulnerable will not be enough to cover increases for Liberal political staffers and everything else this government has in mind with their upcoming core review. We will continue to pay with more user fees, privatization and cuts to essential services. Unless we choose to stand way up. In the meantime, at a school near you, children are assessed a $20 desk fee to learn in a mouldy school.

Liberal policies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect priorities of B.C. Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal health authorities plan to bill seniors a monthly fee to use wheelchairs in our public residential care homes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and at least one region plans to ultimately make seniors buy or rent their

own wheelchair at a much higher rate. Many seniors in residential care homes already have very limited financial resources but do not qualify for fee waivers. Contrast this with the exorbitant wages the premier plans to pay her staff. These policies do not reflect the values and priorities of the people of B.C. Fraser and Vancouver

Coastal need to scrap the unfair and ultimately costly wheelchair fee scheme. If they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the new Minister of Health needs to intervene to stop the fees and affirm the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for compassionate care for everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not care based on who is able to pay for it.

Frank Reeves recalled in

Arrival of the first passenger train at the Lake’s E&N station (today’s Kaatza Station Museum), June 18, 1914.—Kaatza Station Museum photo. 1969, but for “a short period in later years when engines were converted to burn coal, due to a price dispute with the oil suppliers. This created an extra interest to bystanders like myself who could barely remember seeing coal-fired locomotives in England. [But] the brakeman could not depend on the coalshovelling fireman to see signals given on the left side of the train for one thing — another diversion was that sometimes hot ashes would get dumped other than in the metal pits, so that ‘tie’ fires were frequent. I think it was less than a year before all the engines were converted back to oil-burners.” “There was always the wonderful smell of a steam engine, and the loud hissing,” the late Trevor Green recalled with a sigh in 1985. “It smelled of hot oil, hot steam and hot grease. There was no mistaking it, and you don’t smell it on a diesel.” Nevertheless, the E&N was the

first CPR line in Canada to “go diesel,” in 1948. CPR No. 8001, the first of 13 destined for use on the Island and painted dark red with a bright yellow riband, rolled through Lake Cowichan on its maiden run in February 1949. For the most part the years passed uneventfully but with ever-decreasing freight as those timber leases immediately adjacent the right-of-way became exhausted and, steadily, trucks did the work of trains. It was a far, far cry from the golden era when as many as seven trains hauled 18-22 carloads a day. By the late ’70s, with its old competitor the CNR petitioning the government to abandon its own Valley line, the CPR also sought abandonment. By then traffic was down to a dismal seven trains a year. On Nov. 1, 1982, the last freight train completed its run. In 1985, 72 years after service to the Lake began, crews pulled up the last rails and ties in Lake Cowichan

Village, the rest of the 18.3 mile (29.5 km) line having been pulled the year before. The 2.1mile Crofton spur was removed in April 1987 and the concrete bridge over South Shore Road demolished in 1999. So much for the enthusiastic prediction made in 1909 that there was enough timber in the Lake area to “keep the railway in freight for a century”. Footnote: One of the last of a dozen books written by the late Bruce Hutchison, long considered to be the dean of Canadian political journalism, is also one of his few works of fiction. Much of The Cub Reporter Learns A Thing or Two appears to be autobiographical and could well be a reflection of Hutchison’s own initiation into the newspaper business. The book’s sub-plot involves the building of an E&N extension to “the Nitinat” in 1911. The way Hutchison portrays it — as fiction, remember — it was a scam by and for the benefit of wealthy timber interests. In Hutchison’s book, unlike in real life, when the scandal broke — heads rolled! On that happy note, we end this look back at events leading up to the historic day of June 18, 1913, a century ago. The E&N Lake Cowichan Subdivision is today’s popular Cowichan Valley Trail and Lake Cowichan’s slightly relocated E&N station is the equally popular Kaatza Station Museum. www.twpaterson.com

Actors nail retro feel of Hollywood classic ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Leon Willey (Don Lockwood), Rachel Harrison (Kathy Seldon) and Jonathan Purvis (Cosmo Brown) bring the Hollywood classic to life at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

You’ll leave the theatre humming, with a smile on your face after seeing a performance of the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s summer musical Singin’ In The Rain. The story is a familiar one to film buffs: a silent film star falls in love with a young up-and-coming actress, but is tied to a fake, studio-produced pairing with his leading lady. Then everything is thrown further into chaos as talking pictures sweep Tinseltown. The cast is impressive as they bring this Hollywood classic to the Chemainus stage with great charm and energy. It takes skill to pull off the proper retro feel of the central romance in this musical between movie star Don Lockwood and struggling actress Kathy Selden. Leon Willey and Rachel Harrison as Don and Kathy hit all the right notes, from the antagonism/flirting of their first and second meetings in a park and when Kathy jumps out of a cake, respectively, to the stupid-in-love joy of the iconic Singin’ In The Rain number. Jonathan Purvis as Don’s best friend Cosmo Brown and Emma Slipp as horrible starlet Lina Lamont are standouts. Purvis’s dance numbers are,

in a word, awesome. Filled with stunts and personality, Make ’Em Laugh was a showstopper and he, Willey and Jesse Martyn as Sid Phillips knocked it out of the park with Moses Supposes. As soon as Slipp finally opens her mouth as silent screen star Lina Lamont you know you’re in for a dynamite performance — and you know why this character was never meant for talking pictures. The voice is so (hilariously) awful you have to hear it for yourself to believe it. Wiley and Slipp’s scene where Lina and Don film part of their new silent movie, going through the actions of being a couple in love while the words actually coming out of their mouths are all about how they hate each other, is particularly memorable. Technical aspects of the show were also impressive. They included several movie clips that the cast and crew shot to look like old black and white films. These were fun and funny and well incorporated into the live action. Chemainus’s production of Singin’ In The Rain will only get better and slicker as the run progresses. I heartily recommend this one to anyone looking for a summer evening of laughter and good cheer.

Trifolia is headed to the Crofton Hotel Pub Sunday. [SUBMITTED]

Trifolia brings tour to Crofton MIKE D’AMOUR CITIZEN

Gifted young Montreal pianist Marianne Trudel will perform with her trio, Trifolia, at the Crofton Hotel Pub on Sunday as part of a cross-Canada tour to promote her new CD, Le Refuge. The CD, according to one Quebec reviewer, is the result of “a rich collaboration between three accomplished musicians...each with a different palette of colors from which to sketch: Jazz meets world music, meets classical... while never straying from the heartfelt.” Trifolia will be on the Crofton pub stage, with Trudel performing on accordion as well as piano, from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday as part of the weekly Jazz at the Crofton Hotel series. The address is 1534 Joan Ave., and there is a 10-buck cover.

Duncan Christian doubles up on Athletes of the Year KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The fine athletes of Duncan Christian School forced the school’s hand this year. With such a deep group for a small school, the people who hand out the school’s athletic awards had to choose not one but two winners in each of the senior categories. Olivia and Rachael, the Fabulous Bakker Sisters, shared the Senior Girls Athlete of the Year trophy, while Josh Klassen and Douglas Groenendijk — brothers in arms if not genetically — split the Senior Boys Athlete of the Year honours. “It’s special,” said Olivia Bakker. “I feel proud to represent the school.” For reasons alphabetical or otherwise, Olivia’s name was called first at the school’s ceremony last Thursday, and Rachael was content to cheer for her sister until she was summoned. “It was a nice surprise that I made it as well,” said Rachael.

“I knew it was between me and Doug, so for us both to get it was good.” JOSH KLASSEN, DCS Senior Boys Athlete of the Year

“It’s a nice way to finish my time at the school.” Both twins played senior girls volleyball— where Olivia was team and Island MVP and Rachael was an Island all-star — and basketball — where they shared team MVP and Island all-star honours. Olivia was also name MVP of the DCS swim team. “We did a lot of the same stuff, and we’re at the same skill level,” said Rachael. Both Bakkers named their trips to the provincial single-A volleyball and basketball championships as highlights of their senior year. “It wasn’t expected because we lost a lot of Grade 12s, so we were smaller and younger,” said Rachael.

The girls will both attend Camosun College next year, where they will red shirt for the women’s basketball team. Klassen, a Grade 12, and Groenendijk, a Grade 11, played together on many teams both inside and outside school, and have enough respect for each other’s talents that neither felt he was a lock for the award. “I wasn’t really thinking about it too much,” said Klassen. “I knew it was between me and Doug, so for us both to get it was good.” “I was sort of surprised,” said Groenendijk. “I thought Josh was going to get it.” Klassen was team and Island MVP and a provincial all-star in volleyball and basketball, a tournament all-star in ball hockey, and a member of the school’s badminton team. Groenendjik joined Klassen as team MVP in volleyball, and was an Island all-star in volleyball and basketball, and an honourable mention in basketball. See Provincial trips • page 18

Duncan Dynamics bloom at Garden City Invitational KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan Dynamics took 50 gymnasts of all levels, from Interclub to KIP and levels one to four, to the Garden City Invitational in Victoria last month. Along with the KIP and PreArgo gymnasts, the Level One Tyros took the floor on the first night. Gabrielle Austin and Sarah Deschamps earned stellar results, placing third and fourth all-around respectively. Austin added a gold medal on the vault, silvers on the bars and beam and a ribbon for her floor performance, while Deschamps also collected a bronze on the vault and ribbons on bars, beam and floor. The following morning kicked off with the Level One Argo 2003 and 2004/05 teams, with the 2003 team taking all the podium spots on the vault. Sarah Carson won gold, while Cheyenne Mackeil and Trinity Page claimed silver and bronze, respectively. Mackeil also finished fifth on bars, third on beam, and second on floor and all-around, and Carson and Page each collected four more ribbons. Tahara Brown took bronze all-around and on bars, gold on floor, and placed fifth on vault and seventh on beam. In the 2004 division, Anna Akhurst earned ribbons in every

event, finishing between fourth and eighth, while Sadie Manley finished second on vault and fourth on floor. The Dynamics’ only Level 2 Novice gymnast, Julia Ford, competed that afternoon, earning bronze on beam and three ribbons. Four Duncan athletes competed that evening: Level 3 Novices Rebeca Bailey and Chelsea Kaye, Level 4 Tyro Keerstin Arden, and Level 4 Novice Samantha Johnson. Bailey and Kaye tied for silver on floor, Bailey earned bronze on beam, fourth all-around and other ribbons on vault and bars, and Kaye claimed silver on floor, bronze on vault, and three other placement ribbons. Arden won gold on floor and added four other ribbons. Johnson won gold allaround and on vault, beam and floor, and bronze on bars. On the final morning, Level 3 Tyro Trystinna Bailey picked up five ribbons, her best a fourth on bars. The 27 Interclub gymnasts showed their skills that afternoon, all earning medals between bronze and gold. Mia Butcher, who lives in Duncan and trains with Falcon Gymnastics, the host club for the Garden City Invitational, competed as a P2 Tyro, winning bronze on vault and floor, and placing fourth on bars and eighth all-around.

Thunder take midget C silver at Panorama tourney The midget C2 Cowichan Valley Thunder, coached by Eric Johnson and Tyler Veuger, earned two honours at the Matt Underwood tournament held at the Panorama Recreation Centre on the weekend of June 8 and 9. Not only did the Thunder claim silver in the midget C division, they also took home the Fair Play award, which goes to the team with the fewest penalty minutes in each division. Game MVPs included Theron Keel, Clayton Vickers and Liam Kennedy, while Wyatt Gibb won the midget C tournament MVP

The midget C2 Cowichan Valley Thunder. [TRACEY JOHNSON PHOTO] award for collecting the most points and fewest penalties. “The team showed a lot of heart over the weekend and should be

extremely proud of themselves for representing the Cowichan Valley Thunder Association,” said manager Tracey Johnson.

Provincial trips are highlights for DCS sports stars From page 17 He was a provincial qualifier and team MVP in swimming, finished third in the triple jump at Islands and qualified for provincials, and played for the DCS ball hockey team. As with the Bakkers, both Klassen and Groenendijk were proudest of helping to guide their basketball and volleyball teams to provincials. “We weren’t successful in either volleyball or basketball, but we had a shot at a blue banner, and these were the two best teams I ever played on in high school,” said Klassen. Groenendijk hopes to return to provincials again next year, and knows he will have to take a bigger role to get his teams there. “Now that Josh is gone, I’ll have to step up my leadership,” he said. Klassen will head to Briercrest College in Saskatchewan to play basketball on a team that went 191 last season.

“I hadn’t really done any of the sports here. I thought it would go to the most athletic person.” ADARA ATSMA, DCS Sportsperson of the Year

“Now that I know where I’m going, I’m excited to move on,” he said. “But I’m definitely going to miss this place.” Adara Atsma was shocked to be named the school’s Sportsperson of the Year, having not committed much of her time to the Chargers teams. “It was a surprise, actually,” she said. “I hadn’t really done any of the sports here. I thought it would go to the most athletic person.” Atsma did lead and coach the swim team, and spent countless hours helping Athletic Director Tom Veenstra in a variety of capacities. “I just like helping, and it’s fun working with Mr. Veenstra,” she said. “He makes it an adventure.

Sometimes he’s not very organized, so I’m the one who organizes things.” Atsma will head to Trinity Western University in Langley next season. The school’s junior athletes of the year were Nick Kapteyn and Lauren King-Nyberg. Kapteyn was MVP of the junior volleyball team and a member of the senior team, and the Most Sportsmanlike Player on the senior boys basketball team. King-Nyberg was on the senior girls volleyball and basketball teams, named the Most Sportsmanlike Player on the latter squad, and also played ball hockey, badminton and soccer. The midget athletes of the year were Mike Brandsma and Danielle Groenendijk. Brandsma was an Island all-star in junior boys volleyball, and MVP in Grade 8 boys basketball, earning a call-up to the senior squad. Groenendijk was MVP of the junior girls volleyball and basketball teams, also getting time with the senior girls hoops team. She was also on the senior girls soccer and track and field teams.

Already known as a gem within the sports communities of the Cowichan Valley and Vancouver Island, the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena got a big boost recently when AthleticBusiness. com featured it as its Facility of the Week. The arena, which reopened in early 2011 after massive improvements, was lauded for its upgrades, which included large multipurpose rooms, new concessions and viewing areas, child care space, and new change rooms for hockey and curling. “This will help to enhance our efforts to get the word out about how awesome our facility is and allow further benefit from the theory around ‘build it and they will come,’” said Linda Blatchford, manager of Cowichan Lake Recreation.

The Cowichan Lake Sports Arena has attracted the attention of Athletic Business magazine more than once. [CITIZEN FILE] That theory has already delivered. “Since undergoing our recent renovation, Cowichan Lake Sports Arena is experiencing the excitement of having groups and organizations contact us about the possibility of bringing their camps and events here,” said

Blatchford. “Being host to events like the most recent BC Hockey U18 Female Development Camp, where we had the pleasure of having Mel Davidson — the head coach of the Canadian national women’s hockey team — in our stands scouting out the B.C. talent on our ice surface, not only

benefits the arena itself, but also has enormous economic spinoff for our community and other neighboring Cowichan Valley communities.” Last June, the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena was one of 81 facilities from across North America featured in Athletic Business’s annual Architectural Showcase, alongside structures in some of the biggest cities and most celebrated post-secondary institutions in Canada and the U.S. “It is exciting to find a facility like ours, located in a small area of 6,000 people, in an international publication of this nature,” said Blatchford. “The appeal of the outdoor experience offered in the Cowichan Lake area, coupled with a newly upgraded facility having spring ice availability, makes a perfect location for high level performance camps. The benefits are far reaching.”

Elector Response Forms must be in the form established by the Regional District, and only those persons who qualify as electors of Electoral Area E – Cowichan Station / Sahtlam / Glenora are entitled to sign.

YURECHKO, EDWARD December 22, 1928 - June 14, 2013 After 84 years Ed passed away peacefully at home with his wife Irene at his side. He was born to Anelia and John Yurechko in Port Arthur, Ontario. Ed forged many lifetime friendships throughout his earlier years, attending school and apprenticing at New Idea Sheet Metal for his journeyman ticket. Among the many stories we have heard about his younger years include the Finn gymnastic club, the Northbelt Savages, his boxing days, and his love for hockey, which began when he played in the Lakehead. Ed married Irene Lidstone, together they started a family and moved west to Duncan, BC in 1967. Ed’s passion for fishing and boating began and was shared with many of his good friends. His involvement at Fuller Lake Minor hockey began when he coached his son’s team. He continued his commitment to hockey serving as the Fuller Lake Minor Hockey President and he contributed to bringing Junior B hockey to the Cowichan Valley. Ed was also a member of the Duncan Curling Club, the Cowichan Golf Course and the Duncan Legion. Ed was a member of Sheet Metal Workers Union Local 276 and he practiced his sheet metal trade with pride until he retired in 1994 from Griffiths Sheet Metal in Duncan, BC. Ed and Irene enjoyed their trips back east and holidays to hot spots with friends and family. Retirement brought more time for fishing, bowling, golf and supporting his grandchildren in many activities. Ed fought a brave and courageous battle against cancer with the love and support of his family, friends, Dr Dan Phillippson , Dr Neilson, Drs Goulard and Coppin of the BC Cancer Agency. Many thanks to the amazing support from the Palliative Care Nurses that enabled him to end his journey at home. Ed is survived by his wife Irene, of 56 years daughter Nola (Andrew) Jackson, Frank Yurechko, Margaret (Mike) Pilon and his three grandchildren Brett (Christine), Laura (Derek) and Katie Jackson. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday June 21, 3:00 p.m at H.W. Wallace Centre, 5285 Polkey Road Duncan BC V9L 6W3. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the BC Cancer Foundation in Ed’s memory. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Lynette Anne Busko (nee Davy) July 22/1959 - May 28/2013 It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Lynette Anne Busko on May 28/2013 at the age of 53. Lynette passed away peacefully with her loving husband Ted by her side, after losing her battle with cancer at the CDH in Duncan, BC. Lynette leaves behind her loving husband of 35 years, Ted Busko (Duncan, BC), daughters Angie Busko (Duncan, BC) and Holly Busko (Victoria, BC). Also sister Carolynn (Ed) Haggarty of Powell River, BC and brother Mel (Pat) Davy of Birch River, MB and many nieces and nephews. Lynette was born in Swan River, MB, where she completed her grade twelve majoring in cosmetology. Lynette first worked as a hairdresser in Yorkton, SK. Later moved back to Swan River, MB, working for a local hair salon. Then after marrying Ted in 1978, moved back to her home town of Birch River, MB, where she operated her own hair salon for a number of years. When her children came along Lynette was a stay at home mom and loved being with her daughters. Lynette enjoyed sewing, knitting and playing the piano at different get togethers. We all especially enjoyed her rendition of the song 'The house of the rising sun'. Then in 1990 Lynette and Ted moved to Winnipeg, MB, where she supported her husband in his new career with Manitoba Hydro. This later took them to Beausejour, MB. There Lynette worked at the front desk of a Super 8 Motel and also as a seamstress at a local business. Later in 2007 when her husband retired from Manitoba Hydro they moved to Duncan, BC, a part of the world she really loved. While in Duncan, Lynette worked at a Canadian Tire Store, Safeway and lastly at Thrifty Foods. She truly loved all the people she worked with. Lynette was known as a kind and gentle person with a willingness to help at all times. When asked to do something she always said 'sure'. Lynette was so happy when both of her daughters moved to Vancouver Island. She will be missed immensely. Lynette had a strong faith in the resurrection hope to a paradise on earth. The family would like to thank all the staff on the 3rd floor of the CDH in Duncan who helped Lynette on her final journey. Special thanks to the ones that went the extra mile, you know who you are. Also many thanks to Dr. Jan Malherbe for stepping up to the plate. At Lynette’s request there will be a graveside service for all wishing to attend on Monday, June 24th at 2:00 pm held at Mountain View Cemetery, 6493 Somenos Road, Duncan, BC. Following the Service everyone is invited to join the family at the community room adjoining Thrifty Foods, Duncan, BC. In liew of flowers donations may be made to Cowichan Valley Hospice Society, Canadian Cancer Society or just hug the one’s you love. 272535
