Hero rescues man from Chemainus house fire KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Adrenaline took over, and Chemainus man Bailey Mazurka didn’t think twice about rushing into a burning house last Sunday to rescue a neighbour. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

A Chemainus man is being credited with saving the life of a neighbour during a house fire last Sunday morning.

Bailey Mazurka ran to the aid of his neighbours after their Chemainus Road house caught fire, and managed to pull one man through a window to safety.

“I was actually lying in bed when I heard someone screaming,” Mazurka recalled. “I jumped out of bed. There are a lot of hay fields around here, and when I saw the smoke, I though the hay field was on fire.”

When they realized where the smoke was coming from, Mazurka and another neighbour ran to the scene. Initially they believed a tree was on fire, but they soon figured out that it was actually a house, which was quickly succumbing to the flames. The first person they encountered was a woman who lived in the house.

“It looked like she had a little bit of singed hair,” Mazurka said.

“We thought she was the only one

there, but then she said her husband was still inside.”

Mazurka used to have friends living in the house, he explained, so he was familiar with the layout. He ran to a door that went into an enclosed space below the deck and was able to break through that one. While he could see the man inside through another door, staggering around, he couldn’t manage to get through it, so he kicked out the window and pulled the man, who he believes was suffering from smoke inhalation, to safety.

“The deck above me was burning,” Mazurka said. “But I got him out.”

M

Dave had a passion for horse racing, even buying into some winners over the years.

Tennis was a passion for Dave, and he regularly travelled to international tournaments. He had become known for his photos during matches.

y favourite memory of Dave, aside from his flashy San Francisco 49ers jacket and that glorious white Ford he cruised around in back in the day, was his rumbling baritone voice.

I can still recall as a kid listening to him on the radio, calling hockey or basketball games.

When I started at the Citizen in the late 1980s, I was fascinated to get to hear that voice every day, in person. Once I had settled in and knew I could get away with it, I always greeted him with my own best baritone imitation: “Rrrrruuuubbbyyy.”

Since he was a Bruins fan and I was a Habs fan there was plenty of good-natured ribbing but I always appreciated being able being able to talk sports with him and listen to his tales of oldschool media antics.

Years after I had left, he was doing some B.C. Hockey League play-by-play for the Cowichan Valley Capitals up in Nanaimo and asked me to sit in as his colour commentator. It was the most fun I have ever had on the air. I kept trying to get him to crack his ultra-professional facade but he was too good.

Having grown up in the Valley and always considering it “home” I have seen for decades that Ruby truly is a legend. His own love for the area and his devotion to his community and his craft has always been a shining example.

representative for the paper, as well as just being someone you could always talk to when you needed an ear. In the spring and summer he’d bring in roses from his garden in Crofton to brighten the office.

Ruby ran for Duncan City council on several occasions and was always up on the latest in the community, if not always the first to master the latest computer technology.

In May, serious health issues meant the end of Dave’s tenure at the paper, but he’s left an indelible mark on our hearts.

David died on Monday, June 22, peacefully at Cowichan District Hospital, with his wife, Bonnie, and stepson, Bobby, at his side.

We’ll always be able to picture him walking into the office in his brown leather jacket and colourful scarf, celebrating the Red Sox or the Bruins, ready with a smile.

We are grateful for all the years we got to know and work with Dave, and we will miss him, but always carry on his passion for life.

Low flow warnings in effect for local rivers Desperately dry conditions forced the provincial River Forecast Centre to issue low streamflow advisories on Monday, June 22, at 4 p.m. for the Koksilah, Chemainus and Cowichan rivers.

The River Forecast Centre sent out an advisory for all of Vancouver Island because a combination of low or non-existent snow packs over the winter, followed by an early onset of warm conditions has led to worrying low levels in two Valley rivers and others across the Island.

Current flows “are more typical of late-August conditions, with many rivers approaching, or are below, average annual low flow level,” a release from the Centre stated, echoing the words of many Cowichan Valley river watchers.

The Koksilah River — an unregulated watercourse — is experiencing extremelow stream flow conditions.

At Cowichan Station, the Koksilah is currently flowing at 0.14 cubic metres per second, which is 13 per cent of the median flow and below the recorded minimum flow for this period of time.

The also unregulated Chemainus River is marginally better, with current conditions called “seasonally low”.

Checked near Westholme, the Chemainus River is currently flowing at 0.86 cubic metres per second, which is 25 per cent of the median flow and just above the recorded minimum flow for the period of time, according to the Centre.

The Cowichan River is a regulated water course and is currently flowing near

Duncan at 5.88 cubic metres per second, which is 57 per cent of the median flow, above the recorded minimum flow for the period of time.

Flows in the Cowichan River are controlled by a weir at Lake Cowichan.

However, Environment Canada is forecasting less than 10 mm of rainfall on Vancouver Island over the next 10 days and continued warmer-than-normal temperatures.

Highs of 33 degrees are expected on Sunday in the Cowichan Valley.

“With little rain and continued warm weather, coupled with negligible remaining snow melt runoff, it is expected streams will continue to decrease through to early July,” the River Forecast Centre announced.

The centre will continue to monitor conditions and will provide updates as conditions warrant.

For streamflow conditions in other parts of the province, visit the River Forecast Centre’s Low Streamflow Bulletins and Advisories webpage.

Folks planning to travel on the Island should note that there are extreme lowflow conditions at Tofino Creek, Brown’s River near Courtenay and Gold River.

Seasonally low streamflow can be found in the Tsolum River, Oyster River, San Juan River near Port Renfrew, Carnation Creek and Pugh Creek near Nahwitti Lake.

Other regulated streams that are being watched closely for streamflow are the Englishman River, Little Qualicum River, Sproat River, Quinsam River and Salmon River near Sayward.

Rivers in the area are already at lows typically not seen until the end of August. This photo of the Cowichan River was taken in early August of last summer — river levels are already reaching similar lows. [CITIZEN FILE]

OUR VIEW

Time to change the system for liver donations

T

here really is no excuse good enough to explain why people in western Canada don’t have the same options for a stranger-donor liver that people farther east in our country do have.

We were very surprised to hear that not only won’t Alberta Health Services (one hospital in Edmonton is the only place in the west that does the transplants) do the testing on strangers who are willing to step up to the plate to donate a piece of their liver so that someone else can live, there’s not even a national registry of poten-

tial donors as there is when it comes to kidney or bone marrow donations.

This has left Lake Cowichan’s Naomi Carlow clinging to life, getting sicker and sicker as her parents hope she will grow enough to accept a liver donation from a family friend, then be strong enough to make it through the surgery.

It is incredibly unfair that you have to hope and pray that a family member or friend is going to be a viable match should a loved one need a liver transplant.

Many people have found great

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

success conducting media campaigns canvassing for willing living organ donors when the options of family and friends have failed.

It’s something that social media has been great for.

One of the reasons stated for why western Canadian health care authorities won’t do stranger donations for livers is that they don’t want to facilitate a black market in organ donation.

It’s an admirable sentiment, but it doesn’t really hold water when we know that systems for other donor organs are already in place to both allow

strangers to generously donate, and to guard against people selling organs, perhaps from the unwilling.

The balance is possible.

We think if a national donor list was available many people would volunteer to be on it.

Especially when they learn that the donor’s liver will regenerate itself, so it doesn’t even leave as permanent a scar, so to speak, as donating a kidney.

There are risks, of course. But a humbling number of people are willing to reach out that helping hand.

Solar investment stupid

We don’t want to see, read about, or report on more families having to navigate the nightmare maze of the donation system as it is now.

Patients and their families shouldn’t have to hope that someone else will die so a cadaveric donor organ becomes available. Especially since such an organ in Naomi’s case would likely come from another child.

The bottom line is, not enough is being done for those who need liver transplants in western Canada. Certainly not everything that can be done. It’s time to change that.

Why license business with potential to stink?

In response to your article “Compost stink not going away”, I think that the North Cowichan district council definitely has a responsibility to taxpayers in the area.

Why was a business licence granted to a facility with the potential for fouling the air in the first place? Is there no criteria in place to ensure that people will not be adversely affected in a negative way from businesses in the area? Are licences issued on a first come, first served basis?

I think that the taxpayers of Chemainus should apply for a reduction in their taxes when we are faced with next year’s

assessments.

I cannot even sit outside on my sun-deck when the facility is emitting its noxious fumes.

Take a long, hard look at the way business licences are issued, and take responsibility for your decisions!

Broom is beautiful Please consider dear broom bloom killers.

I noted a few days ago, with sadness, because I like broom plants and feel they beautify our highways, create jobs perhaps and solve a large problem our

agriculture is facing with declining bee populations due to toxic herbicide use. The bush I was studying had at least three to four honey, mason, or other bees enjoying the natural habitat, and doing bee-like things.

Perhaps broom is actually a saviour to our area. Perhaps we need to learn, how to manage and work with a vegetation that is here to stay thanks to a pioneer in the 1800s, despite people’s opinions, not fully studied with growing global problems.

I should like you to note, my new biz uses the beautiful bounty in a most enchanting way. Pattern Interrupt. I see its beauty, and much more!

Re: One Cowichan What great news! Now we can follow in the footsteps of the Victoria strata that recently, and proudly, announced its commitment to solar power.

The council president, a confessed eco-freak, convinced the members to finance a solar installation that would save a quarter of the council’s annual $6,000 Hydro bill.

Oops! It’s going to take these idiots, the strata members, 30 years to amortize the cost — and this without factoring in: insurance, upgrades, increased roof repair/replacement (we’re talking long periods of time), etc.

Any idea of the average age of a strata member?

My guess (based on my experience with another strata in Victoria) would be over 70 years of age!

The same concept applies here: why would I invest in a minimum 25-year amortization at my age?

I may have a few, age-delivered loose screws, but none are loose enough to see me “going solar”.

That is, not unless these escapees from the Slocan valley convince the CVRD board to pay for it.

Corporations have to conserve water, too

As the election cycle nears Oct. 19 there is, and will be, an increased intensity of political rhetoric and misinformation. The coming election will prove to be pivotal in the policies of Canada for years to come and it is essential that we all make our decisions based on common sense and fact which seems to be in short supply nowadays.

The constant attack/demonization on/of Canada and the Conservative government regarding our efforts in climate change are part of the rhetorical misinformation campaigns that are currently being spread. Canada is not likely to meet the Copenhagen Accord (few nations are), but has made progress on lowering CO2 emissions regardless. Under the Conservative government emissions have fallen 5.1 per cent while the economy has grown 10.6 per cent, our per capita CO2 production has fallen from 17.4 tonnes per person to 14.7 tonnes per person (the first government in the history of Canada to have reduced CO2 emissions) and our global contribution has gone from two per cent to 1.5 per cent. These are achievements to be proud of and to build upon.

Obviously Canada has not solved the CO2 emission issue, but to say that nothing is being done is nonsense. The Green Party would shut our energy industry down and, certainly, so would the core base of the NDP thinking that they would be saving the planet. If only that were true.

The production of global CO2 has never been about production. It has been about consumption. If consumption diminishes, then the oil sands and all oil production could be discontinued. In our own country, in addition to the carbon footprint left by the production and use of vehicles, the heating of our homes and the global shipping of produce and mercantile, there are many other products that make a carbon footprint from the oil sands.

How many of you know that the oil sands are a major ingredient in paving across North America? Recently, a road infrastructure was rebuilt in front of my office. The new water main that was buried has “made in Alberta” stamped on it (quite obviously a product of the oil sands) and every day I walk on repurposed oil sands while crossing the road (the new paving). There is an endless list of products and services that, currently, can only be supplied by oil. There is a lot of difficulty in reducing consumption.

If we shut down Canada’s carbon-based energy sector, we are still going to need oil and it is going to come from somewhere. China, India and the U.S. (the major oil consumers) are going to get their product from somewhere.

If our energy sector is dismembered Canadians will need to replace the 10 per cent government revenue lost (all levels), the three per cent GDP and over 514,000 jobs (802,000 by 2028, many of which would employ indigenous people). Green jobs are not going to replace all of

Martin Barker that, nor is the world going to have a reduced CO2 production.

Canada should be a major global supplier of oil because we are one of the most progressive nations on earth, certainly among the major oil producers. In fact, the oil sands, over the last 20 years, have reduced their CO2 emissions by 30 per cent. Venezuela and Saudi Arabia don’t give any thought to reducing their emissions related to oil production. Should Canada discontinue our production so they can ramp up theirs?

The Conservative government is choosing the most responsible manner to reduce our, and the world’s, dependence on fossil fuels through the development of better emission standards from automobiles, a moratorium on CO2 producing coal plants and investment in green technologies (Canada now invests the fifth most in the world). We are generations, if ever, from becoming free from an oil based economy. Driving us all into poverty would lower our CO2 emissions, but would not contribute to the well-being of humanity and the global reduction of CO2.

This fall I hope voters truly consider what is being told to them and realize that this is an important election for many reasons. Your choice at this October’s election has the potential to reduce Canada to economic ashes and still not reduce global CO2 emissions. Vote wisely.

LETTERS to the editor Firing of ALC chair should concern all Why should the firing of Agricultural Land Commission chair Richard Bullock matter to you?

Because exclusions of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) can make property developers a great deal of money, and Mr. Bullock was determined that agricultural land should be used for agricultural purposes, standing in the way of friends of government who want to make a lot of money.

How do I know this is true?

A prominent B.C. Liberal, a politically appointed ministerial assistant to the Minister of Finance, pleaded guilty in court to taking a $50,000 bribe to get a specific piece of land out of the ALR. Imagine how much money that developer knew he was going to make if he was willing to pay somebody in government an amount that for many people

is more than a year’s salary.

A top B.C. Liberal admitted to this under oath, the land was removed, and the developer saw the value of the land in question drastically increase.

Since then, the B.C. Liberals have taken further steps to make it even easier for property developers to buy agricultural land and change the zoning with no regard for the needs of the province to feed itself.

Last year, the B.C. Liberals passed a law that changed the criteria for getting land out of the ALR to rules that were so loosely defined and nebulous that virtually any request could be granted.

Prior to his firing, Richard Bullock had been outspoken in his support of the ALR, and critical of the changes that the government was forcing on the Agricultural Land Commission.

He knew that Bill 24 was the final step in undermining the ALR and was going to make it

difficult for government every time an inappropriate exclusion was pushed through.

Mr. Bullock understands that we have a great responsibility to protect our agricultural lands, not just in the present, but for future generations. We need to do everything we can to increase food security, and we cannot do that if we have destroyed our agricultural land base.

If you look at the B.C. Liberal record on food security and protecting agricultural land, it is more than just an example of simple failure. It is a record that includes bribery and corruption.

The firing of Richard Bullock reminds us just how far we’ve strayed from the original intent of the Agricultural Land Reserve. And the price we will pay will be felt for many generations.

Take out trees on highway, stop planting I agree with Mark Williams in his letter to the editor, when he suggested that the city should stop planting so many trees with its Urban forest Strategy.

The city needs more bike lanes and safer pedestrian crossings (either underpasses, or overpasses).

The trees that line the highway from the Old Farm Market down past the high school (for a start) should be removed, and a safe lane for bikes could be put in.

These trees have been pruned so many times that they are an ugly row of stumps for most of the year, then a short blooming period, then they block the business signs when they are in leaf.

You can still plant some low-maintenance, low-cost evergreens here and there, but let’s get away from the trees.

There is simply not enough room.

The trees would work for new development, where you can allocate enough space for them before you start building. I’m sure the original builders of Duncan never envisioned what a couple of million cars rolling down a road would look like.

A line of poplars are felled by the Municipality of North Cowichan in preparation for work to begin on a new artificial turf soccer field.

Though the municipality determined the trees were nearing the end of their life and that they will be replaced by native species, the ‘Citizen’ had a number of calls as the trees came down on Monday from neighbours outraged by the felling. They say that the trees look perfectly healthy and should have been left as they were.

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

Work begins for new artificial turf field KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

North Cowichan municipal council voted last Wednesday to award the $1,363,300 contract to construct the artificial turf at the Sherman Road soccer field to Stone Pacific Excavating.

The project has been in the works for several months as council looked into the benefits and detriments of artificial turf, and that discussion continued last Wednesday, even though it had already been decided that the field would be built, and all that was left was to award the tender.

Dr. Deirdre O’Neill, a naturo-

pathic doctor and self-described “soccer mom” from the Cowichan Valley made a last-ditch plea to council not to go ahead with the turf, citing environment and health concerns due to heavy metals in the tire crumbs that are used as artificial dirt.

“This seems counter to what families in the Cowichan Valley are working towards,” she said.

The discussion of the turf has included seeking input from Island Health, and Medical Health Officer Paul Hasselback was present at the council meeting to provide some final comments. He said that lead had in

fact been an issue with first- and second-generation surface-coverings, but not with the third generation.

Levels of metals in the turf are considered safe by Health Canada, and the risk of injury is comparable to that of grass pitches. The injuries tend to be different to those suffered on grass, but not more frequent.

“It is elevated,” he said of the injury concern. “But it is not elevated very much.”

At the urging of Coun. Rob Douglas, municipal staff had looked into an alternate surface, Nike Grind, which is made from

ground-up running shoes rather than recycled tires. But at $218,000 more, it was determined to be too costly.

Longtime Cowichan Valley Soccer Association president Bill Keserich also addressed council, explaining that the association will rotate all the teams through the artificial turf, so that no one team or age group will spend significant time on the turf. He also noted that Cowichan teams have already been playing soccer on other associations’ artificial turfs for 10 years, and that out of a base of thousands of players and parents, the CVSA has received just

one email expressing concerns about the artificial surface.

Joyce Behnsen was the lone councillor to vote against awarding the contract to Stone Pacific.

Tall poplar trees at the soccer park started coming down on Monday morning.

According to the municipality, they were close to the end of their lifespan, and the excavation for the field would have damaged them anyway.

It was recommended that the non-native Lombardy poplars be replaced by a native species, such as Garry oak, when they are replanted.

CVRD board ties some staff pay increases to CPI ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

The Cowichan Valley Regional District board has moved to curb pay increases to its top non-union staffers.

This follows significant public criticism over the salaries of senior employees at the regional district, and how much they have increased.

“For some people the salaries are always going to be too high,” said board chair Jon Lefebure, though he said he hopes the change will help the public perception.

Last year, the district paid consultant Julie Case to look at CVRD policy, then present the findings to

a special committee struck to look into the matter.

The committee came back to the board with recommendations to leave the process of how salaries are reached as-is. That process includes looking at comparators — other local governments of similar size, who are competing to hire such employees — and shooting to remain in the middle in terms of what the CVRD pays.

Raises were determined by matching those given to union employees at the CVRD. “It is a very common practice,” CAO Brian Carruthers told the directors when the subject came up

for discussion at a meeting in February.

Those who did not support leaving the salary process the way it is argued that there needs to be some kind of tie not just to what comparable salaries are in other local governments, but to what people in the community are making.

Dir. Sonia Furstenau pointed out that the median salary in the Cowichan Valley is $38,000, and said that there should be an obligation “to really take into account the people who are paying these wages.”

It was suggested tying pay raises to the Consumer Price Index could be a way to help do that.

While the method of hiring staff and determining their place on the existing CVRD wage scale will remain the same, calculation of raises will change.

A unanimous vote by the board last week will see significant changes made to the Exempt Staff Compensation Policy.

Wording that “General wage increases for exempt staff are the same as those provided to the CVRD’s unionized and nonunion employees, as well as to elected officials. These increases are determined through the process of collective bargaining with our Unions” will be replaced with “That Exempt Staff inclusive of the Chief Administrative Officer, General Managers and Division

CVRD boar chair Jon Lefebure says getting good staff is key. [CITIZEN FILE] Managers receive annual wage increases determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Victoria; and that a minimum 0.0 per cent increase be applied where the CPI falls below 0.0 per cent and a cap of 2.0 per cent where the CPI exceeds 2.0 per cent annually; and that all other exempt staff positions maintain the existing policy of providing the same annual general wage percentage increase as union employees”.

Though regular raises will now be tied to CPI, Lefebure explained that they are still going to review staff’s salaries every three years, looking at where those numbers sit versus comparators (other municipal and regional governments of similar size).

He defended what some in the public see as overly-gener-

The hours are changing at your local library.

Beginning July 1, the new hours have been designed to try to improve service at 24 rural branches, including Chemainus and Duncan.

There are no schedule changes for the South Cowichan or Lake Cowichan branches.

The change will be cost-neutral, said Natasha Bartlett, Vancouver Island Regional Library’s communications officer.

“The environment in which we deliver library services is dramatically changing and our charge is to ensure that VIRL is relevant and accessible to our community — great and small,” said Rosemary Bonanno, executive director of the VIRL. “Improving access to library service for our rural community, while adhering to budget

ous salaries for the CVRD’s top staff.

“We are all faced with the reality that we are competing to fill these positions with other local governments,” he said. With salaries set to be in the middle of what’s offered by others, “we really count on being a desirable place to live to attract good people.”

Getting good people into the top staff positions at the CVRD is vital, Lefebure said, because those people have to make decisions, many of which can save a lot of money over time.

“Having good professional advice is critical,” he said. “It’s an investment that we make for the good of the community.”

It’s important to note that there isn’t an excess of people qualified to fill the positions, Lefebure said.

We are committed to supporting the larger community of Vancouver Island as a cooperative and are appreciative of staff and customer patience and dedication during this improvement.”

In Chemainus, hours will remain the same on Monday, Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the library will still be closed.

On Tuesday, the new hours will be from noon to 4 p.m., and 5-8 p.m. in the evening.

On Wednesday, the library will now be open from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., then from 1-5 p.m. in the afternoon.

On Thursday, hours will be from 1-4 p.m. in the afternoon and 5-8 p.m. in the evening.

The total number of operating hours in Chemainus remains the same.

In Duncan the hours of operation are being cut on Friday, with all other days remaining the same.

On Friday, the library will now only be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., instead of the former 8 p.m. closing time. This reduces the branch’s overall hours to 57.5 per week.

The VIRL is hosting a series of public consultation sessions this summer to allow people to give feedback on the group’s next five-year strategic plan. The sessions are two hours each. In Duncan, the session will take place on July 22 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the library. In Lake Cowichan the session will take place on July 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the library there.

◆ PORT ALBERNI

Drunken swimmers prompt patrols Recent reports of disruptive and dangerous behaviour at one of Port Alberni’s most popular swimming holes has resulted in regular police patrols this summer.

RCMP have announced they will be giving closer attention to alcohol consumption at the Paper Mill Dam. An RCMP release from last week mentions a “number of irresponsible revellers” who have been abusing alcohol at the dam. Over the last two weeks police have dealt with incidents of fighting, public drinking, intoxication, impaired driving and other disturbances.

“In recent weeks police have responded to 11 calls for service at the dam, and at the root of each of those situations gone wrong was the abuse of liquor,” stated Cpl. Jen Allan of the Port Alberni RCMP. “Responsible folks are coming to enjoy themselves at this beautiful spot and they have to deal with misbehaving drunks who jeopardize their safety — that’s completely unacceptable.”

Insp. Mac Richards of the local police detachment noted that any alcohol consumption outside of a private home or licensed venue is illegal.

◆ NANAIMO

Forest fire crews battling blaze west of Nanaimo; no homes threatened The Wildfire Management Branch responded on Saturday to a four-hectare wildfire west of Nanaimo.

Thirteen firefighters, two helicopters, and air tankers are working on the fire, which has grown quickly in felled and bucked timber on private forestry land. Water skimming aircraft are also working on this fire, and recreational boaters are requested to avoid pickup locations to allow the aircraft to complete their work safely.

No structures or homes are threatened. The area is experiencing warm temperatures and steady wind, in an area of high fire danger rating. The fire is human-caused, and under investigation to determine the specific cause.

The public is reminded that all open fires, except campfires, are prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdictional area.

Campfires that are small (0.5 metres tall by 0.5 metres wide and smaller) on mineral soil with a fuel break, and attended at all times are permitted.

For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to (www.bcwildfire.ca»)

◆ TOFINO

Tofino’s Canada Day Beer Garden will run under the Village Green’s sun despite the amount of shade council recently threw at it.

The beer garden is a volunteer-run event held in the Green’s basketball courts as a fundraiser for Tofino’s Recreation Commission but, during June 9’s regular council meeting, Coun.

Greg Blanchette suggested it is poorly placed in its perch above the annual skateboarding competition.

“Full disclosure: I’m not a beer drinker, so I’m not an attendee of this event and not an appreciator of it but, looking at it from the outside, I find it aesthetically appalling really,” he said.

“I don’t find that to be the kind of festival that we want to encourage here in Tofino, particularly right next to a playground and overlooking a kids’ competition.”

“As a fundraiser it’s got something to recommend it, but as a public spectacle I really don’t much like it.”

Tofino’s manager of community sustainability Aaron Rodgers said last year’s beer garden raised roughly $4,000 and that the proceeds from this year’s sales would go towards the commission’s pursuit of an indoor recreation space.

Adrenaline took over, says Mazurka HERO RESCUES, From Page 1 Once the couple was out, Mazurka left the yard to make room for the Chemainus Volunteer Fire Department. He said he has no idea how the fire started.

Mazurka said adrenaline took over and he didn’t hesitate to do what he could to get the man out.

“I just ran up and went into the building,” he said. “It was just go, go, go. I didn’t even hesitate to go in the back door.”

This wasn’t the first time Mazurka has helped rescue someone. A year ago, a friend was involved in a car accident on Henry Road, and he was one of three or four guys who helped pull him from the wreckage.

This friendly competition takes place on the second day of the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre’s 30th Annual Wooden Boat Festival, Sunday, June 28.

Guaranteed to be highly entertaining, this team-building challenge is open to anyone in the community and is a memorable way to kick-off the summer with family, friends and co-workers, said organizers.

Teams of two to four people are given four hours to build a functional boat from scratch, with up to $100 in environmentally-friendly building materials of their choosing, while judges walk around evaluating categories such as most original design and best costumes.

Two members from each team will participate in the friendly three-part water portion of the competition: a paddling leg and sailing leg followed by a “get back to shore however you can” leg.

Sink or swim (and some of them do sink), participants will undoubtedly benefit as a team and have much fun in the process, organizers said. The winning team with the highest overall points wins 50 per cent off all registration fees.

and Dring had been attacked during their dinner on Saturday, Feb. 13.

Walkem checked the back door, too, to see if it had been jimmied, and noticed a bullet hole in a window pane. It was the hole in poor Dring’s head, and another over his eye, that drew the inquisitive coroner back to the task at hand, and to his medical calling, although he couldn’t help but scan the ceiling to see if perhaps a shot had passed right on through the victim. Unlike Miller, Dring remained seated in his chair, encircled by a pool of blood.

Because there had been no hemorrhage from Miller’s neck wound, Walkem concluded that it had been inflicted after death by two gunshots which had “completely destroyed the kidney and also the right lobe of the liver.”. Either wound would have been fatal. He believed Miller to have been standing when struck. Dring, although shot in the head, had died from having his throat cut, likely because his head wound hadn’t been immediately fatal.

Then it was back to playing the role of Sherlock Holmes for Walkem. Near Miller’s gate, he noticed “the marks of a boot as if from a miner’s brogan with heavy nails [and] another foot mark — like a ladies [sic] boot with tapering heel.”

He followed the footprints to the beach, 150 yards from the cabin, noting more prints along the way.

zled over the viciousness of the attacks and that the cabin appeared not to have been ransacked, Walkem examined the bodies.

Other than the fact that he lay on the floor beside a table and his interrupted meal, Miller, at first glance, looked to be sleeping, so natural was his position, with one leg doubled back and his arms neatly at his sides. In a Nanaimo courtroom a year and a-half later, Walkem’s testimony revealed that he’d had an interest in more than medicine when he noted the remains of some soup in a bowl, half a loaf of bread and some tea in a cup on the table.

He even checked the lantern to see if it had any oil in it. This was police work, and it was by these observations that Mainguy concluded that Miller

Get a look at real live solar installations on free solar tour Want to see solar power in action?

One Cowichan has put together a tour to let you do just that.

This Sunday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., people will have the chance to visit local homes that are “showing solar leadership.”

The tour will be run like a garden tour, with a map to follow, but people free to drop by each location on their own time.

“There’s a lot of great solar activity already happening in the valley,” said Rosalie Sawrie with One Cowichan. “We want to hold these examples to show what’s already possible, so that we can do more.”

There will be several residential installations on the tour, as well as Cowichan Carbon Buster Peter Nix’s solar array to view.

Nix installed a small solar farm on his property earlier this year.

Locations, descriptions and a map can be found at www.onecowichan.ca/solar_tour.

There will likely be significant interest, Sawrie predicted.

One Cowichan’s local petition drive to call on local governments to make Cowichan the solar capital of British Columbia has now passed 1,500 signatures, she said in the tour’s press release.

As it happened, the Miller-Dring tragedy wound to a lengthy and unsatisfactory conclusion in Nanimo. Both men tried for the double murder were acquitted although the accused ringleader died of consumption in prison. Dr. Walkem’s evidence, as professional and helpful as it was, made no difference to the outcome of the case.

But it sheds an illuminating light on the varied roles some-

The doctor who’d handpumped his way to Chemainus on a velocipede in a raging storm and total darkness to assist police, and who’d found himself checking doors for signs of forced entry, looking for bullet holes in windows and ceiling, and for footprints in the sand, truly was a man for all seasons.

Look ahead when driving — waaay ahead on roadway TIM SCHEWE SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

I

magine making a lane change and crashing into a fully marked police vehicle stopped at the side of the highway with all of its emergency lights operating.

I can only guess that the driver was not properly scanning his environment and looking far enough ahead to anticipate issues before they happen. It

might also be time to consider offsetting the police vehicle to the right rather than the left when working on the freeway.

Driving safely requires more than watching the vehicle ahead of you and making sure that there is more than a meter or two between vehicles in front and behind when you change into another lane as the driver in this crash found out. At freeway speeds of 120 km/h you are

moving at over 33 meters per second.

A reasonable buffer of four seconds is 132 meters.

Add 80 meters stopping distance on level dry road and you should be looking well over the length of a city block ahead at minimum.

I was trained to offset my police vehicle to the left of the violator’s vehicle by about half its width to provide a pocket of

protection as I approached the driver’s door. This often left part of the vehicle in the highway lane.

I later learned on my own to pull as far to the right as possible and do a passenger side approach to stay out of traffic.

Even then I didn’t feel safe, slow down, move over law or not!

Our highways can be very dangerous places as there are an average of 282 fatal crashes on

them each year. Planning and scanning well ahead can give you the notice you need to avoid a crash.

Staying as far out of the travelled lanes as possible when you have to stop is a must as warnings may not protect you.

Tim Schewe is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca

39 Days of July swings into Duncan Friday

Visions artists throw open studio doors July 10-12

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

It seems sizzling summer has already arrived in the Valley and that means it’s time for The 39 Days of July.

And, sure enough, Cowichan Summer Festival 2015 is bringing back the fun and games in downtown Duncan, this year from June 26 to Aug. 3 The CUPE Stage at Charles Hoey Memorial Park by the train station is the scene of most of the action.

Hourly showcases by touring and local talent can be seen and heard in the open air weekdays from noon until 8 p.m. daily, and weekends from 11a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, music lovers can enjoy 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. concerts as well.

At the CUPE stage at Charles Hoey, it’s possible to enjoy teacher/ student showcases on weekdays at 3 p.m. daily. Various music and dance teachers and their students have been invited to showcase what they do.

Following that theme, there’s Duncan Has Talent, of course, and there are also open mic times available as well.

There are also lots of exciting single-day events during the festival.

On Canada Day, July 1, at the Train Station parking lot, it’s time for the Identity Graphics Canada Cup Mixed 4 on 4 Ball Hockey Tournament.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. competition will take place among teams consisting of six players, which always include a female on the court.

There’s also a Human Mixed Foosball Tournament from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Visions artists group is holding its 20th annual studio tour July 10, 11 and 12. This free, three-day self-guided tour offers Cowichan Valley art lovers the chance to see work by 28 artists this year.

“As we did last year, we’ve created clusters of artists at 15 of the studios so that visitors don’t have to drive so far to take in the whole tour,” said group publicist Terry Harrison.

That still allows visitors the chance to see plenty of the Valley, though, as studios range from Mill Bay to Crofton and out towards Lake Cowichan.

Many of the galaxy of artists are well known to art lovers in the Cowichan area while some are new to the group, which has added a glass blower and a stained glass designer this year.

Who’s involved?

Visions 2015 includes paint-

Canada Day activities are part of the 39 Days, including a ball hockey tournament. [CITIZEN FILE] No expertise is required to participate. Teams here, too, consist of six members but substitutions are allowed.

The holiday music schedule at Charles Hoey Park sees acts change hourly from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

And, of course, as July 1 is a Wednesday, there’s Walkabout Wednesday action at City Square Stage with Sunday Wilde opening at 7:30 p.m. followed at 8:30 p.m. by Uncle Wiggley’s Hot Shoes Blues Band.

At 4 p.m., there’s also a Canada Day celebration with free cake for all who attend.

Note: No fireworks are planned for Canada Day due to the dry weather the area has experienced.

Cowichan Valley artists, including Barb Trowbridge, are ready to share their vision on the annual studio tour. [SUBMITTED] ers Catherine Fraser, Sue Coleman, Naomi McLean, Carolyn McDonald, Bev Robertson, Donna Birtwistle, Lorraine Mary Hawe, Charlotte Haggart

Some of LT Dance Studio’s students perform at last year’s big show in a hip hop piece.

Their 2015 show, coming to Duncan on Sunday, will include many different dance styles, showing off the hard work of the students.

LT Dance Studio headed to Island Savings Centre for eclectic show Rhapsody: an LT Dance Studio Experience hits the big stage at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre Sunday, June 29 at 2 p.m.

Students will perform jazz, ballet, hip-hop and contemporary dance selections.

Tickets are $16 for adults, $10 for children over three and free for toddlers under that age.

And there’s a new twist this year, according to studio owner Bonnie Cuthbertson.

All tickets purchases can be entered to be one of two lucky winners of a full year of unlimited dance classes during the studio’s 2015/16 season, so now there’s an even greater reason to attend the show, she said.

Wes Carroll brings show filled with volume, groove and emotion

YOUNG MUSICIAN OF THE WEEK

Victoria guitarist/vocalist Wes Carroll brings his surprising original compositions to the Crofton jazz series June 28.

Carroll, a recent graduate in jazz studies from Vancouver Island University and winner of the 2010 Victoria Jazz Society Daryl Mar scholarship, says he uses swings of volume, groove and emotion to reach his fans.

His Confabulation quartet, with saxophonist Monik Nordine, keyboardist Tony Genge and drummer Jon Miller, will take to the stage on Sunday to deliver “a mix of originals and arranged standards, stretching out into a world of hip-hop rhythms and modern harmony while not losing their firm footing in post-bop, classic jazz and the blues,” Carroll writes.

The performance is the last of the season for the Jazz at Crofton series but the music will resume in September, organizers say.

Admission is $10.

Musicians are invited join in a jam session during the last hour on Sunday.

Allison Crowe Trio, Ryan McMahon headed to Ladysmith for July 3

Justin Frazer, 13, plays alto saxophone in the Frances Kelsey concert band. He previously was in the Bonner band class led by Greg Launder, and now has John Evans as director. The Grade 8 student recently traveled to Seattle on this year’s band trip. His favourite band is The Beatles.

Hometown touring makes for a terrific musical bill Friday, July 3 at 8 p.m. when the Allison Crowe Trio and special guest artist Ryan McMahon celebrate with a concert in Ladysmith First United Church.

Allison Crowe’s musical talents have led to global appreciation of the vocalist, pianist, and guitarist. Her recordings and videos enjoy tens of millions of views and plays online, and she’s established herself with a number of noted concert appearances, such as her 2007 turn on-stage at Scotland’s John Lennon Northern Lights Festival.

Since her last visit with friends and fans in Ladysmith at a sold-out show in 2012 Crowe has performed worldwide. Recording has been on the front burner as well. She’s released six albums, including the LP Newfoundland Vinyl from the hit stage show at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival for which Crowe serves as musical director.

This upcoming Canada Day weekend, Crowe brings to the stage a brand-new musical combo featuring: bassist Dave Baird, a much sought-after jazz, funk, and rock player who’s performed with Kings Without, Wunderbread, The Thieves and the Canadian Tenors.

And, from Germany’s Black Forest region, Celine Greb has been playing cello since age five. She’s making her North American debut this summer.

Longtime friend Ryan McMahon is special guest when Crowe and band come to town this July 3. Chemainus-born, troubadour McMahon loves his Ladysmith home. Much of the year he’s on the road delighting audiences with his distinctive brand of folk roots rock.

His fourth solo studio album, Put Me Back Together, is just released and earning rave reviews.

The show starts at 8 p.m., with tickets at $25 each for general audiences or $20 for students and seniors. Get them at In the Beantime Café or Salamander Books in Ladysmith.

Mother Gothel formulates a plan at the opening of Adagé Studio’s presentation of Rapunzel Saturday, June 19.

Bear Awareness Did you know?

From 2010 to 2013, garbage was the cause for over 50% of the calls made to Conservation Officers regarding bears. A fed bear is a dead bear.

The dancers of Adagé Studio’s competitive jazz group show their precision as they perform to Mother Gothel’s plan to open the dancing Saturday.

Avoid Attracting Bears:

✔ Keep garbage and recycling containers in a secure area until collection day ✔ Alternatively, secure containers to your house to prevent wildlife from dragging them away

✔ If containers cannot be kept in a secure area, freeze smelly items and place in containers on collection day ✔ Wash food residue off recyclables and keep containers clean

Visit WildSafeBC.com for more information about bears and other wildlife including recent wildlife reports in your area.

Gregory Joseph Cushing July 31, 1945 to June 13, 2015  Greg had a zest for life. His passions included friends, family, pets, travel, food, music, golf, farming, carpentry, new people, and anything that sparked his interest. He left us on a sunny day at home, while holding the hand of his longtime loving companion, Bev. He’s off to new adventures, and free of pain.

He leaves behind many friends and loved ones, as well as an extended family; brothers Danny and Terry, sister Kathy; nephews Liam and Sebastian; Brendan, Christopher and Sean; as well as Brandi and Lisa, their husbands Bruce and Steve, and Brandi’s children, Brendan, Brooklyn and Brodin. Predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Dorothy, and sister Marylou.

Bev would like to thank the staff at We Care (especially Jen and Sandy), as well as the staff at Cowichan Hospital, and especially Dr. Paul Terlien, whose caring professionalism was a great support.

A Celebration of Greg’s Life will be held at H.W. Wallace Cremation and Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Road, Duncan BC on Sunday June 28, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. A reception will be held at the Craig Street Brew Pub commencing at 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbcc.com

KATHARINE (KAL) THOMPSON (nee Lapsansky) February 18, 1932 to June 20, 2015 It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce the passing of Katharine (Kal) Thompson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and ‘Bubby’, after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

She is survived by her loving husband Bill whom she married on September 13, 1952, daughter Corrine Thompson (Tim Costin), son David (Chris), and daughter Chris Carter (Steve).

She also leaves her grandchildren Jim Segee (Ahamida), Brad Segee, Jonathan Thompson (Amanda), Kate Khan (Ahmed), Elyse Thompson, Liane Schenke, and Alex Schenke, and her four great grandchildren, Mariah Segee, David Thompson, Zella Khan and Emirah Khan. Kal also wishes to acknowledge her first born daughter Meridith Colman and her her two children Craig and Emilia.

Kal was always active. She was on the basketball team at the Ladysmith High School and excelled in a number of track and field events. After she was married, it was badminton during the winter months, water skiing and golf in the summer. She was the ladies Club Champion at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club in the year 1980.

And oh how she loved to dance. She was also an active and accomplished duplicate bridge player and acquired more than 1500 master points, holding the title of Silver Life Master. In 1986 she was the Worthy Matron of Cypress Chapter #92 Order of the Eastern Star.

Kal was also a wonderful cook and passionate about eating, with always a tasty meal at her table. She enjoyed sharing recipes and trying new things when it came to food.

She was fortunate in having lived a healthy active life for almost all of her 83 years, and although Kal is no longer with us, we may rest assured that the lives that she has touched will be left with many fond memories.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of Cowichan District Hospital, and the amazing Home Care Nurses for the wonderful care she received and Hospice for their support. Also to Dr. Pai and Dr. Meadows at the Cancer Clinic in Victoria and the nurses in the Royal Jubilee Hospital, who also gave exceptional care while she was there..

Kal’s wishes are to have a celebration of life gathering, which will be held at the H.W.Wallace, Cremation & Burial Center, 5285 Polkey Rd., Duncan from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. on June 27, 2015.

In lieu of flowers please make any donations to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Sun Bowl final an international showdown “The field of teams this year made it a truly international event with Canada, the U.S. and Mexico vying for top prize.”

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The two teams who travelled the farthest to attend Sun Bowl XXX last weekend ended up in the Top Flight Division final, with the Dallas, Texas-based Adrenaline prevailing 35-0 over Team Mexico.

“It was a fast-paced game, and the fans got the game they wanted, but the score doesn’t tell the whole story,” Sun Bowl organizer Chris Mann said.

Dominant at both end of the field, the Adrenaline didn’t surrender a single point all weekend as they captured their third Pacific Northwest Women’s Football Championship. The team loaded up for Sun Bowl, bringing in players from Toronto, Denver and Puerto Rico — many of whom hadn’t played together before — to round out their roster.

Team Mexico, meanwhile, consisted of young players recruited from Mexico City, Cancun and other smaller cities, who trained together three days a week for the month leading up to Sun Bowl.

The Mexicans, competing at Sun Bowl for the first time, quickly established themselves as fan favourites at the tournament.

The Adrenaline downed the Cowichan Women’s Football League champions, the Crew, 27-0 in one semifinal, while Mexico dispatched the defending Sun Bowl champs, the Vancouver Chargers, 24-13.

Both of the finalists have

CHRIS MANN, Sun Bowl organizer

Ravens/Shehawks quarterback Rikki Wylie, seen here playing against Team Mexico, was named one of the top offensive players of Sun Bowl XXX. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] voiced their intentions to return to Duncan in 2016. Mann was thrilled to have teams from three different countries in attendance at the 30th edition of Sun Bowl.

“The field of teams this year made it a truly international event with Canada, the U.S. and Mexico vying for top prize,” he said.

The Almost Top Flight Division was won by the CWFL’s own Ravens (masquerading for the weekend as the “Shehawks”) who beat the Victoria Xtreme in

their final. The Grounded Division came down to a pair of Vancouver teams, with the Socialites topping the Blowfish.

Adrenaline quarterback Vanita Krouch was named tournament MVP. The Best Defensive Player award was shared by Maggie Owino of the Panthers, Sam Molina of Mexico and Teresa Melchior of the CWFL’s Wild. The Best Offensive Player honours went to Krouch, Alyssa Neal of the Dragons and Rikki Wylie of the Ravens/Shehawks. The Wild were named the Most Sportsmanlike Team, and the Spirit Award went to another CWFL entry, the Sirens.

Mann, who made room in his own home for Team Mexico, thanked Val and Ken Chambers for putting up the Adrenaline and the Storm for providing transportation. He also expressed gratitude to the City of Duncan maintenance crew for preparing the McAdam and Rotary Park fields, the concession operators, Thrifty Foods, Save-On-Foods, Clark’s Trophies, Heritage House Trophies, Mark’s, and the referee crew.

U12 RiverCats win district, punch ticket to provincial tourney KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan RiverCats were the favourites heading into the U12 B District Fastball Championships at Strawberry Vale last weekend, but apparently no one bothered to tell the teams from Victoria.

A week after they locked up the South Island league title, the RiverCats took a run at the district title, but it wasn’t easy.

The RiverCats opened the tournament on Saturday morning against Lakehill, the only team they had lost to during the regular season. Duncan led almost the whole way through, but gave up three runs in the top of the final inning to let their rivals back in.

Unfazed, the RiverCats stayed strong and ended up escaping with a 6-4 victory. Mya Rosenlind pitched a seven-hitter, while Mary Murphy was 2-for-3 at the plate.

The Duncan girls were in a groove on Saturday afternoon as they put up 16 hits in a 19-3 trouncing of Langford. Murphy and Paiton Douglas were both 3-for3, Anna Beauchamp was 2-for-2,

The U12 B Duncan RiverCats will head to Richmond for the provincial championships. [GREG GORDON PHOTO] Rylee Smith was 2-for-3, Emma Wright was 2-for-4, and Sierra Screaton went 1-for-2. Smith also pitched three solid innings to earn the win.

The RiverCats squared off against host Strawberry Vale in the semifinals on Sunday mor-

ning. After falling behind 7-5, they battled back in the final inning to eke out an 8-7 victory.

Bethany Brass went 3-for-3, Rosenlind and Murphy were both 2-for-3, and Ella Duncan-Reda and Brooklyn Lang were both 1-for-2, with Lang’s lone hit a home run.

Given another shot at the final, Strawberry Vale beat Lakehill, setting up a rematch for the championship.

The RiverCats got off to a slow start, falling behind 6-1, but they steadily clawed their way back, scoring two runs in the fourth

inning, two in the fifth and four in the sixth to take the lead. That didn’t last, however, as Strawberry Vale tied the score in the seventh, forcing an extra inning.

Going by international rules, the teams started with a runner at second base in the eighth inning. Strawberry Vale’s runner ended up stranded as Rosenlind took the mound in relief of Smith and shut the door. That set up an opportunity that the RiverCats weren’t going to squander.

Lexi Macleod started at second base, and was immediately sent over to third base as Hailey Weremi put down a perfect bunt to get herself on first. Another bunt by Wright loaded the bases, and Smith walked to bring home the winning run and the district championship.

The title is the first for a Duncan fastball team since the U16 Dragons, also coached by Kevin Olender won their league, then took gold at districts, the Canadian open and provincials in 2012. This year’s U12 B team will head to Richmond for the provincial tournament on July 17-19.

Stingrays qualify record number for Island long course meet KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The Duncan Stingrays qualified a team-record 32 swimmers for the Vancouver Island Long Course Swimming Championships in Saanich last month. Due to other commitments, not all of the swimmers who qualified were able to attend, but those who did made it count.

Half a dozen swimmers achieved personal bests in all of their events over the weekend: Ty Dahlstrom, Dibs Fitzgerald, Mya Smith, Tiegan McDevitt, Montana Prystupa and Jeremy Kissack. Another 10 had PBs in all but one of their races: Lily Cochrane, Brielle Woodruff, Jasmine Kremer, Sophie Paridaen vanVeen, Malia Prystupa, Olin Dahlstrom, Dylan Kruger, Megan Lewis, Robyn Zinkan and James Ogihara-Kertz. Three others had PBs in all but two events: Mary Paridaen vanVeen, Cailine Keirstead and Oliver Castle.

The Stingrays also had two new provincial AA championship qualifiers, each of whom needed two qualifying times to earn an invitation. Fitzgerald qualified for the 11 and under AA provincials by adding a qualifying time in the 200m freestyle to a previous qualifier in the 100m free, and Ogihara-Kertz qualified for the 16 and over/senior provincials by adding a qualifying time in the 100m free to his previous qualifier in the 50m free.

Fitzgerald was one of three new provincial AAA qualifiers, thanks to a qualifying time in the 50m fly.

Also putting up provincial AAA qualifying times were Ty Dahlstrom in the 400m free, having already qualified in the 50m fly, and Olin Dahlstrom in the 100m fly, having already qualified in the 50m fly.

Savanah VanNieuwkerk locked up her own qualification for the Canadian Age Group Championships. Swimmers need three

qualifying times to make it into the Canadian meet, and VanNieuwkerk’s third came in the 200m breaststroke, after she had previously met the standard in the 50m and 100m breaststroke.

Malia Prystupa also put up a national qualifying time in the 50m backstroke.

Three Duncan Swim Team records fell in Saanich. Oliver Castle set the new team mark in the boys 13/14 long course individual medley, with a time of 5:26.06,

besting Greg Bate’s 22-year-old mark of 5:28.52. Another of Bate’s marks fell as his 25-year-old record of 1:44.28 in the 10 and under long course 100m breaststroke was edged out by Ty Dahlstrom’s 1:42.67. Dahlstrom also beat his own club record in the 200m backstroke twice. His old record of 3:19.85 was set in April, but he put up a time of 3:08.20 in the preliminaries in Saanich, and 3:07.39 in the finals.

Medal winners at the Island Long Course Championships included Ty Dahlstrom with six silvers and one bronze, Fitzgerald with one silver, Woodruff with one silver and one bronze, Olin Dahlstrom with two bronzes, McDevitt with one gold and one silver, Castle with four silvers, and Laura Kissack with one silver.

The Stingrays also earned a bronze in the 10 and under mixed gender 4x50m freestyle relay thanks to the team of Fitzgerald,

Mary Paridaen vanVeen, Cochrane and Ty Dahlstrom.

The club’s depth was also on display as for the first time ever, the Stingrays were able to enter two teams in the club relay. Unique to the Vancouver Island Championships, the club relay sees each club enters a team of eight swimmers: a male and female in each age group.

“The premise behind this is to showcase a cross section of an entire team and highlight the depth of their programs,” Stingrays head coach Leanne Sirup said.

The Duncan A team of Woodruff, Ty Dahlstrom, Malia Prystupa, Olin Dahlstrom, Montana Prystupa, Oliver Castle, Laura Kissack and Ogihara-Ker tz finished fourth in the club relay, and the B team of Smith, Fitzgerald, Keirstead, Kruger, Kremer, McDevitt, Sophie Paridaen vanVeen and Jeremy Kissack placed eighth.

Valley bids on National Aboriginal Hockey tournament

Just south of the Silver Bridge Check with the guys who know cars!

The Cowichan Valley is taking another shot at landing a major national sporting event.

It was announced earlier this month that local governments and First Nations are working together to bid for the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships.

The bid package, which was submitted on May 27, puts an emphasis on “strong cultural community building, economic sports development, a lasting community sports legacy fund, participant quality experience, community leadership and capacity.” Hosting the tournament, bid committee members say, would enhance the community building sparked in 2008 when the region hosted the North American Indigenous Games.

“This tournament will again have our Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities come together to provide a memorable experience for not only the athletes and the hockey community, but for all who participate and observe,” 2008 NAIG committee president Calvin Swustus said.

Cowichan Valley Regional District Chair Jon Lefebure agreed.

“We have seen firsthand the powerful impact events like Cowichan 2008 NAIG can have on our region,” he said. “Hosting this national hockey championship will again bring direct and significant sport, economic, cultural, and social benefits to the Cowichan Valley.”

The week-long tournament is held

“Cowichan has proven that our unified area of community partnerships has set a new benchmark in the delivery of these types of events.”

DOUG BODGER, honorary tournament co-chair

every spring, showcasing bantam and midget age players from across Canada. A total of 16 teams compete in male and female divisions, with more than 400 players, coaches, managers and trainers expected to attend.

The Cowichan Valley hosted the BC Seniors Games in 2005, and will host the BC Summer Games in 2018. Former multi-sport star athlete and NHL scout Herb Strongeagle and retired NHL defenceman Doug Bodger will serve as honorary chairs for the championships.

“I am honoured to support Cowichan’s bid for the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships,” Strongeagle said. “These championships will again bring our communities together and we will be proud hosts.”

“The strength of the Cowichan Valley is more than its exceptional recreation facilities, unique geographical backdrop and history of delivering successful events,” Bodger added. “Cowichan has proven that our unified area of community partnerships has set a new benchmark in the delivery of these types of events.”
