Councils clash on merger question LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

North Cowichan councillors are still wrestling with the best way to ask residents if they are in favour of looking at amalgamation with the City of Duncan. Although they’ve talked about the subject of a question for a plebiscite this fall, they balked a bit Sept. 3 when faced with the wording chosen by their Duncan colleagues. In April, North Cowichan agreed to ask: “Are you in favour of spending $ (amount to be determined) to study the options, costs and benefits for the municipalities of North Cowichan and Duncan?” Now, however, they have discovered that City of Duncan CAO Peter de Verteuil has estimated that a study of amalgamation would cost $100,000. If Duncan’s pet project of boundary realignment is added, the survey would come to $130,000. North Cowichan’s deputy director of corporate services, Mary Beth MacKenzie, reported that Duncan feels strongly about boundary realignment. It’s Friday evening with shadows lengthening as the sun slips behind the mountain at the Cowichan Exhibition when the Taylor Farm Shire horses make their grand entrance driven by Amy Lafontaine. A crowd had gathered to see the return of the ‘heavy horses’ to this year’s fair. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN]

Two men sent to hospital in attack by four others

Boundary question ‘muddies the waters’

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

As a result Duncan council has prepared a different question for its non-binding plebiscite. Duncan will ask: “Are you in favour of spending approximately $130,000 to study both the options, cost and benefits for amalgamation and the alternative options, costs and benefits for the realignment of the boundaries of the City of Duncan and Municipality of North Cowichan?” Councillors around the North Cowichan chamber were not in favour of adding the boundary realignment question. “This boundary realignment question, I don’t want any part of it,” said Coun. Al Siebring. “This muddies the water considerably. We need to define boundary realignment. How do we define it?” “You could spend years on it,” agreed Mayor Jon Lefebure. “There are an infinite number of realignments. It’s a black hole. Amalgamation is the only option

Two men were taken to hospital last Wednesday night after a beating, allegedly at the hands of four others. According to North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP, a 41-year-old Duncan man and two friends, a 55year-old man and a woman, were gathered by the Cowichan River around 9 p.m. on Sept. 3 when they were approached by four First Nations men and two First Nations women. The trio reported to police that they were victims of an unprovoked attack when the four men began beating them. By the time the female friend called police, the 41-year-old man was bleeding and unconscious. “We received information from the victims that they were walking down the trail when they were attacked by the four men after greeting them,” Sgt. Kurt Bosnell said. Police and ambulance personnel

Police are looking for four men who allegedly attacked two others last Wednesday evening in Duncan. [CITIZEN FILE] attended the scene, but a search, both on foot and in vehicles, was unable to locate the perpetrators. The two victims were taken to hospital, where the 41-year-old man was still undergoing treatment as of Friday. The 55-year-old man was released with a minor concussion, and the woman did not suffer any injuries. The RCMP expressed concerns

about the incident. “We hope all of the citizens of our community can feel safe when out and about, and situations like this are troubling.” Cpl. Krista Hobday said. Anyone with more information about this crime should contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

to look at for North Cowichan.” Coun. Kate Marsh also weighed in. “Truthfully, that’s not high on my agenda. Realignment is a red herring. It seems like a lot of time and money for something that won’t go far.” Coun. John Koury echoed several comments that boundary realignment has been on the City of Duncan’s radar for years but “we haven’t even discussed this. Duncan is adding a whole new element to this. Why should we spend a dime on realignment?” Even North Cowichan CAO Dave Devana called talks of realignment of borders “a little premature.” Councillors managed to agree on the idea of including the words “are you interested in spending $50,000” — in other words North Cowichan’s portion of the $100,000 amalgamation survey — on a ballot. But that’s as far as they were willing to go without more discussion, both among themselves and with the City of Duncan.

New sponsors giving boost to old favourite Terry Fox Run KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

As runners in the Cowichan Valley gear up for the Terry Fox Run this Sunday, a new sponsor has stepped up to handle the event in Duncan. The Duncan Daybreak Rotary Club is setting up the event at the BC Forest Discovery Centre, with the assistance of the CeeVacs Running Club. The Dragon Divas dragon boat team will also be on hand to contribute a large donation to the Terry Fox Foundation. “It’s quite a joint effort,” said Rotary spokesperson Louise Borsato. Kicking off this Sunday at 9 a.m., the Terry Fox Run, Borsato emphasized, is not a race, but a family-oriented participation event with courses of one, three and six

kilometres in length. Runners, walkers, cyclists, strollers and dogs on leashes are all welcome. With the teachers strike possibly threatening Terry Fox Runs at local schools, organizers are inviting any school or business groups or sports teams to participate this Sunday. “Such a wonderful tradition, we hope to keep the enthusiasm for participants of the annual Terry Fox Run,” Borsato said. In the Cowichan Lake area, the Terry Fox Run will take place at Saywell Park on South Shore Road this Sunday. Registration starts at 9 a.m., and runners or walkers can tackle any distance up to 10km, beginning at 10 a.m. The event is suitable for bikes, wheelchairs and strollers and dogs on leashes are also welcome.

Iannidinardo aims to finish what she started in Area D ANDREA RONDEAU CITIZEN

Lori Iannidinardo announced last week that she will be seeking another term in office as the electoral area director for Cowichan Bay. Iannidinardo has represented Area D at the Cowichan Valley Regional District for the last two terms, and says she’s up for one more. “It want to run to finish up some of the things that I’ve already started and to continue working for the community,” she said. During her tenure, a new official community plan setting the stage for the future of the seaside village has been completed, a task in which Iannidinardo is proud to have played a vital role. The zoning bylaws for the OCP, including one for the marine portion of the community, are still underway, and she said she’d like to be able to see those completed. Her experience at the CVRD board table is a big strength, she said. “It takes actually a few years to understand all of the system and the nuances. There’s a lot to know in a regional district and a lot to learn about. So I’m feeling now that I have more of a grasp of a lot of that, so I would like to continue,” Iannidinardo said. It’s all about serving the community, she said, which is why she has an open door policy and is always willing to listen. “Everybody matters,” says Lori. “And

Lori Iannidinardo I believe it is possible to create jobs and diversify our economy while at the same time, protect our watershed and our environment.” Some things she sees that still need to be worked on in the future are the issue of freighters and where they are anchoring, derelict ships, and parks and trails development.

MMBC creates plastic questions LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

North Cowichan councillors are still not satisfied that the new Multi Materials BC recycling contract is going to be as helpful as first thought. They’ve already planned a review of the deal next summer but at their Sept. 3 meeting, there was plenty of concern around the table that plastic bags will be a continuing problem. It’s been possible to put film plastic in a recycle bag until now and councillors still say they think many people will simply put them in the garbage rather than drive their plastic recycling to the depot. Coun. John Koury has asked before if there was any way to track what’s happening and was told Sept. 3 that even an agreement to produce a survey of residents will only deal with complaints, not general information. “Are we refusing any pickups because of their being the wrong stuff in the cans?” Coun. Al Siebring asked. “I seem to be hearing something relevant to that in the community.” Koury said he has seen the answer.

“I do buy into the notion that change takes time and hopefully in a year from now people will be used to this system. However, on my last garbage day pickup there were many clear and transparent blue plastic bags left on the curbside with red stickers on them saying: we do not pick up this any more. Because it was in a plastic bag, presumably. There were many, many like that. “Sometimes you do need a kick in the pants to say, okay, now I have to change.” Coun. Ruth Hartmann pointed out that the new MMBC regime allows for even more recyclables to go in the bag; film plastic is the only problem. “It’s also rewarding to know that stickers are being put on; it helps people remember what they have to do,” she said. Coun. Kate Marsh is also still worried about what happens to all the other lightweight plastics. She said she’s always made an effort to include every bit of plastic in her recycling, even the wrappers and small pieces that came around products. “My volume of garbage has gone up and that makes me unhappy,” she said.

OUR VIEW

Bickering shows why merger idea will fail t’s easy to see why we remain skeptical about the potential amalgamation of the City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan. The two bodies can’t even agree on a question to take out to referendum in their jurisdictions. The city wants to include the topic of boundary realignment (the City of Duncan adding more land base to their one square mile) while the Municipality of North Cowichan is staunchly against including that in the public poll. If they can’t even agree on a question to ask the public, what

hope is there that any agreement can be reached on any of the nitty-gritty of putting two municipal units together? That’s if it’s decided the whole thing is worth pursuing. Note that the proposed referendum questions merely talk about studying the idea. There’s a long, long way from gaging public opinion on a study and actually merging Duncan with North Cowichan. We doubt that’s a road that’s going to be taken any time in the near future. Not only is there a lot of history and water under that bridge

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

that has entrenched separate government institutions in these two communities, amalgamation costs. It costs huge bucks. People argue that the shortterm financial pain leads to longterm financial gain, but that’s not necessarily the case. It would not simply be a matter of eliminating one whole government. Anyone who argues this has not thought it through. You cannot just add a whole bunch more people and land to a municipality without providing services to those people, and

services mean employees, right from managers and planners to garbage collection crews and somebody to water the flower baskets. That’s not to even mention such things as the giant task of converting every single bylaw and regulation on the books, and paying for the inevitable consultants to shepherd you through the process. Successful amalgamation would require two enthusiastic participants. Our municipalities are not on the same page, not even a little bit.

I am responding to the Paul Williams letter regarding BC transit in Ladysmith. For a VIU student like myself who buses and bikes everywhere, I rely on the Ladysmith bus to get me close to Nanaimo where I then bike the rest of the way to VIU. If BC transit linked to Nanaimo’s transit system, or better yet adopted a bus that went from Duncan to Nanaimo, like the commuter to Victoria, I am sure either way ridership would increase, not just by students, but those who work in Nanaimo too.

Children not widgets to be turned out A recent letter regarding the teachers labour dispute asks: If your employees sought to control your business, what would your response be? Successful businesses, especially large ones, would do well to listen to what their employees are saying; who knows better what works or doesn’t work on the shop floor? To stretch the analogy a little further, we as taxpayers own the public education system, and hire the government to manage it. But many MLAs will not use the public system and send their children to private schools instead. What would your

response be if your hired managers refused to patronize your business, and in fact seemed intent on destroying it? In any case, to think of education as a business is simply wrong. Children are not widgets to be stamped out on an assembly line. They are individual human beings whose needs cannot be met and whose aptitudes cannot be nurtured in an overcrowded classroom, especially those with special challenges who are receiving no added support. The writer is correct to say that this dispute is not about benefits and wages. Christy Clark’s statement that the BCTF’s demands are not in line with other public-sector

agreements is intended to distract us from the fact that money spent on class size and composition is not for the teachers, it is for the students. That is what teachers are fighting for, and they deserve all the support we can give them. We all profit when all our children’s rights to a good education are protected. If the public education system fails, the losses are immeasurable. Steve Lewis Crofton

With all the kafuffle about education now it would be a good time for all stakeholders to read America’s Education Deficit and the War on Youth by Henry A. Giroux. He says, “the decaying education system is increasingly designed to churn out drone-like future employees”. There is too much striving for conformity. There should be more streaming to accommodate individual potential and interests. The system is trying to frustrate all participants by inclusion. We need teachers to concentrate on like groups and not be all things to a diversified class and be able to not do justice to any one. John McDonald Duncan

Election priorities in survey are not mine

Irresponsible spending from provincial treasury

One Cowichan is trying to get us to believe that their survey is the true litmus test of what the electors think are the priorities in the upcoming civic elections. However, the questions in the survey are obviously biased for the benefit of a special interest group that is focused on environmental issues. The questionnaire is not broad enough to be used to identify the electorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real priorities. One Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to rank civic candidates on their views on these questions. Of the 18 specific questions asked in the survey, 10 had to do with the environment. Only one question vaguely turned to the topic of property taxes. Obviously, in the minds of One Cowichan, municipal efficiency, waste, bad decision making and high taxes are not election issues. What is most concerning is that One Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to raise our property taxes to fight other levels of government over issues that are outside of municipal jurisdiction. The questionnaire asks for funding (taxes) to pursue provincial and/or federal jurisdiction on air quality, child day care, greenhouse gas emissions, and zero waste. Local bureaucrats will be the only beneficiaries as they raise their pay packets and build their municipal empires to respond to the new spending requirements of One Cowichanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda. I can tell you that any candidate for office that gets the endorsement of One Cowichan will not get my vote on Nov. 15 and they should not get yours if you think spending and taxes are out of control.

The facts and figures supplied by letter writer Diane Cacciato regarding the discretionary spending by our provincial government were quite revealing. I would like to add a few more items being spent from our provincial treasure by Premier â&#x20AC;&#x153;Affordabilityâ&#x20AC;? Clark. Take for instance the royalty tax credits being provided to both the oil and gas industry and the mining industry in B.C., both industries receiving lucrative profits. The gas industry, since 2003, has received over $2 billion in royalty tax credits. Last year in 2013 they received $140 million while Ms. Clark was pretending we had no money in the treasury. The mining industry, who pretend poverty when minerals are at an all time

high, received a paltry $40 million. Why, Ms. Clark, do you have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;affordability zoneâ&#x20AC;? for our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and a spending spree for profitable large corporations? Why are we returning royalties to corporations when that is all we receive in compensation for the loss of our non-renewable resources? Why is Norway debt free and has a fund totaling $1 trillion from royalties derived from their non-renewable resources? And why does Norway provide free post-secondary education, healthcare and a livable pension for all of their citizens? Our children are the future economy in B.C., well after the gas and mining corporations leave this province depleted and exhausted. Think! Phil Le Good Cobble Hill

Concert music lovers, walk this way to enjoy The BBC Last Night of the Proms with millions of others around the world. Yes, the famous show is being broadcast on the big screen at the Cowichan Theatre for the first time ever on Saturday, Sept. 13 starting at 11:30 a.m. What, before lunch? Of course! It’s live and it’s happening in England’s legendary Royal Albert Hall. The rousing Last Night of the Proms winds up a season of what used to be called “promenade concerts” or “proms”. This show is traditionally very different from the eight weeks that precede it; it’s lighter and includes popular classics and, of course, the anthems that start the Union Jacks waving and the audience singing: Rule Britannia!, Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem. You’ll want to join in, even if it is not long after breakfast. The popularity of the Proms in Britain (over 300,000 attended the Proms in 2012 and 15 million viewers watched on the BBC) has led to world-wide live broadcasts of the final Prom. “Looking at video clips of previous Proms, you see how much fun everyone is having — the audience and performers alike,” said Kirsten Schrader, manager CVRD Arts and Culture. “We thought this would be a great opportunity for our audience to join in one of the great

Narrow hairpin turns required passengers to walk FIGHTING TO, From Page 11 of visitors and the wealthy who could afford motor cars, and even more urgently the farmers objected to noisy motors rushing along their rural roads, scaring their horses and tearing the gravel highways to pieces...” Finally, the VMC received a curt note from the government to the effect that the continual deputations were useless “as the roadway was unnecessary, impossible to construct, and if attempted would result in the loss of enormous sums of money to no purpose”. Rather than being discouraged, the Club’s directors “resort[ed] to strategy”. They invited MLAs, members of the Victoria Board of Trade and city council to accompany them on a Dominion Day weekend motorcade from Victoria to Alberni — “and also every person who had taken a strong attitude against the construction of the road”. Three days with two overnight stops were scheduled for the round-trip! All this in the expectation that “the ride would cause a change of heart among the guests who accepted the invitation”. All expenses,

including meals, gas and oil, were picked up by the Club and participants were CHRONICLES “insured T.W. Paterson against breakdowns as far as possible”. (This is 1910, remember—TW.) All of this amounted to “large sums of money so [Club] members charged themselves a heavy per capita fee. This was paid without a murmur by every member approached by the finance committee.” And they had to pay up front so that the necessary gasoline and oil could be purchased and arrangements made for their delivery along the route. The Club’s generous offer was so tempting that, come the day of departure from Victoria, they had to hire extra touring cars ($105 apiece) from a rental company. So, how did it go? We again quote from the record: “Early on the morning of June 29 the cars got away, some of them taking

the road over the Sooke mountain, now disused. The guests who took that route vowed they would never agree to make the trip if any other practicable route could be discovered. Narrow hairpin turns, steep climbs which often required the passengers to walk while the cars laboured up the loose roadside hill surface, and storms of gritty dust as one car surged by another, all combined to convert many an opponent into an advocate of a better road.” How did the others avoid the nasty Sooke route? Why, they were ferried across Saanich Inlet by tug and scow, courtesy of quarry owner R.P. Butchart. The next time you drive the Malahat, spare a thought — and a thank you — for those publicspirited members of the Victoria Motor Club who helped to make it possible! www.twpaterson.com

Caps lose dogfight in Alberni

SEVEN STRIKES: Nelson

and Barry lead LMG attack in opener

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Glen Martin’s off-season recruiting efforts didn’t take long to pay off. In Cowichan LMG’s first game of the Vancouver Island Soccer League Div. 1 season, newcomers Paddy Nelson and Cooper Barry showed precisely why Martin was so excited to add them to his roster as they led their new squad to a 7-1 romp over Westcastle United in Victoria last Saturday. Nelson scored three times and Barry added two goals to power Cowichan to a convincing victory. Dan Cato, a mainstay with Cowichan for the last couple of years, also scored a pair. “I didn’t think they’d be scoring like that in their first game,” Martin acknowledged. The three scorers, he said, could have had four goals apiece if they converted on all their opportunities. “We scored on seven of our 12 chances, so that’s a pretty high percentage of finishing,” Martin allowed. Because of some of those missed chances, Cowichan didn’t score until about the 30-minute mark. The floodgates were open after that, and the team held a 5-0 lead before Westcastle was able to score. Newly promoted from Div. 2, Westcastle didn’t add any new players as they jumped to a new level of soccer, which was a mistake, Martin feels. “They were basically the same

Aidan Miller manoeuvres the ball in Cowichan United’s 3-1 loss to Sagres Highlanders. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] team as they were last year, the second-place Div. 2 team,” he said. The case is similar for Comox Valley United, who Cowichan will play in their home opener this Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Sherman Road fields. Also promoted from Div. 1 after last season, Comox added only one player to their roster. Martin still expects more from them than he saw from Westcastle last weekend. “I expect them to battle hard,” he said. “It should be a harder game than the Westcastle game.” Cowichan’s own Div. 2 squad, Cowichan United, also opened their season last Saturday,

losing 3-1 at home to FC Sagres Highlanders. Coach Ryan Flynn said the game was what he was expecting. “They are a well-coached and structured team with a lot of youth and speed,” Flynn said. United was missing four starters, including three who play in the middle of the field, and Flynn was pleased with the way his other players executed without them. “With the lineup we had it was a positive game,” he said. “The guys put the effort in, but were forced into spots that they normally would not be in.” With Cowichan’s goal coming

from Conor Williams on a penalty shot, the score was tied 1-1 at halftime, but a five-minute lapse in concentration cost Cowichan two goals. Goalkeeper Darian Achurch made back-to-back-to-back saves to keep his team in the game, garnering applause from fans on both sides of the battle. Up next for Cowichan United is a road game against the Gordon Head Blazers on Friday. Also playing this weekend is Cowichan’s new Masters B team, who will make their season debut at home against SFFC Orange this Saturday at 5 p.m. at McAdam Park.

Offence took centre stage last Saturday as the Cowichan Valley Capitals fell 8-5 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in a B.C. Hockey League preseason exhibition game in Port Alberni. Despite the defeat, head coach Bob Beatty wasn’t dismayed, as his indivudual players still gave him and his staff a lot to think about. “It was a good game for this early in the year,” he said. “There were lots of things to like and some things not to like. Despite the score, we felt we saw some good things, and we identified some areas we have to work on.” Most impressive for Beatty was the fact that each of the players on the line of Brayden Gelsinger, Thomas Gobeil and Colton Kehler scored goals in the defeat. “That was a line that we thought played well,” the coach said. “They moved the puck well.” The Caps’ other two goals came off the stick of Luke Santerno, a BCHL rookie who starred in the junior B ranks last season. “That was good to see,” Beatty said. “I thought his line with [Keegan] Milligan and [Daniel] Wanner was effective at times.” As for areas where the team needs to improve before the season begins, Beatty found a few of those.

Isles recover from errors, come back for first win KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Despite blowing a two-goal lead over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on the road last Saturday, the Kerry Park Islanders came back in full force to collect their first victory of the young Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. “It was a funny game,” Isles owner Mark Osmond admitted. The Isles got goals from scoring star Braedan Cross, back with the Isles after finishing the 2013/14 campaign in junior A with the Trail Smoke Eaters, and veteran defenceman Jordan Coyne as they went ahead 2-0 in the first 15 minutes. Just over two minutes after Coyne’s powerplay marker, the Glacier Kings got on the board, and by the end of the period, Comox had tied it up. “We played awful after that,” Osmond said. Head coach Dale Purinton gave the players a talking-to at the first intermission, but less than seven minutes into the second period, the Glacier Kings had taken the lead. Soon after that, Cam Nickerson scored on the powerplay to even things up once again, and from then on, it was all Kerry Park. “Then they woke up and played extremely well and scored at will,” Osmond said. By the end of the second period, it was 6-3 for Kerry Park. For the last 10 minutes of the third period, the Isles leaned heavily on their third and fourth lines to avoid running up the score any further, but even that wasn’t enough as Nick Kean and Abe Lamontagne scored their first goals of the season to get the team up to nine goals. Ten different Islanders recorded points against Comox, led by Nickerson’s two goals and one assist, and Kean’s one goal and two helpers. Cody Short had two goals, Cross and Zack Smith finished with one goal and one assist apiece, and Ryan Paisley had two assists. Coyne and Lamontagne had single

goals, and Kyle Green and Matt Osmond each had one assist. Goalie Leighton Williams made 38 saves on 41 shots, while his teammates fired 28 pucks at the Comox goalies. The team is still missing a few prospective players, including local products Nick White and Ryan Hogg, who remain in junior A camps with the Victoria Grizzlies and Cowichan Valley Capitals, respectively. The team is also hoping to get some defencemen back in the mix. “When we get everyone here, I think we’ll be a force,” Osmond said. The Isles will play one more road game — at the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Thursday — before their home opener on Saturday against the Peninsula Panthers, facing off at 7:30 p.m. For fans, it will be the first chance to glimpse the team in the newly renovated Kerry Park Arena, with new boards and a new ice surface. “The boys will be up for the game and hopefully there will be a good win in order,” Osmond said.

Braithwaite’s quad wins B final at Worlds KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

He might not have been in the running for a medal, but Michael Braithwaite finished the international rowing season with a victory. Braithwaite, who grew up in the Duncan area and learned his sport with the Maple Bay Rowing Club before going on to the 2012 Summer Olympics, helped the Canadian men’s quad to victory in the B final at the World Championships in Amsterdam late last month. Braithwaite’s boat beat the U.S. by 0.6 seconds to win the B final, good for seventh in the world. The Canadians began the event by placing fourth in their heat behind Ukraine, the eventual gold medallists, Germany and France. They went on to the repechage, where they were second behind Switzerland in their race. They missed the A final by finishing last in their semifinal behind Great Britain, Germany, Estonia, France and Russia.

Vikes bring intrasquad hoops action to DCS

Tough decisions looming for coaches CAPS LOSE, From Page 17 “We have to have a little more structure and we have to be more present in the forecheck,” he said. In addition to the output of the Gelsinger-Gobeil-Kehler and Santerno-Milligan-Wanner lines, the Caps also got a pair of assists from defenceman Jake Switzer. Alex Corley played the entire game in net, making 34 saves as Cowichan was outshot 42-27. The Caps got their camp roster down to 24 players — two above the limit — after sending forward Ben Brar back to Abbotsford’s Yale Academy. It’s likely not the last that fans have seen from Brar, who had 31 points in 24 games for Yale last year. “He’s a 16-year-old with lots of potential. He had a good, solid week of practice and got a game in [against the Victoria Grizzlies] last Wednesday. We’ll affiliate him and see of we can get him over to practice or play, depending on our other players’ performances and injury situations.” After Tuesday night’s game at home against the Nanaimo Clippers, the Caps have two more exhibition contests left, and while Beatty acknowledged it would be

nice to get a couple of wins, the more important task is to determine which players will don the Capitals colours when the regular season begins. “We have to make some tough decisions here, but that’s what exhibition games are all about,” Beatty said. “The final couple of decisions will be difficult.” The Caps will play their last two pre-season exhibition games on the road, visiting Nanaimo on Wednesday and the Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday. The regular season opens with the Bauer BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, where the Caps will play the Vernon Vipers on Friday, Sept. 19 and the Merritt Centennials on Saturday, Sept. 20. The team’s first regular-season home game is on Sept. 26 when Cowichan hosts Victoria.
