White Spot ‘family’ devastated by blaze SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

Fire crews were called to the Duncan White Spot early Friday morning. The restaurant was a complete loss but owner Marty Goliath has vowed to reopen as soon as possible. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN]

A fixture in Duncan for more than two decades, the White Spot restaurant beside the Trans-Canada Highway burned beyond repair early last Friday morning.

“It’s considerably depressing,” said Cowichan businessman Marty Goliath, who co-owned and managed the popular eatery. “We’ve worked so hard as a family here to put this together.

We’ve poured our hearts and souls into it, to be a solid anchor in the community for 20-plus years, and to have it all taken away, that’s rough.”

The Duncan Volunteer Fire Department got the call at 4:52 a.m. Friday, but wasn’t able to save the structure.

“It’s a write-off,” Duncan Fire Chief Mike McKinlay said.

In addition to a full complement from the Duncan hall, North Cowichan’s South End firefighters were called out for mutual aid. “We had eight guys out from South End,” McKinlay said.

Firefighters used two pumpers

and one aerial truck to do the bulk of the work with a rescue vehicle on scene for support.

“South End had their aerial,” McKinlay added, noting it was a particularly difficult fire.

“It was in the roof and the ceiling area so it was unsafe to go inside the building so fighting it from the outside was very challenging,” he said.

Crews packed it up about 11 a.m., some six hours after their initial callout.

Shortly after the dust settled, heavy equipment was brought in to knock some walls down to improve safety at the site.

The fire inspector arrived later in the afternoon.

Neither McKinlay nor Goliath have been told what ignited the blaze, which is believed to have started in the back of the building in or near the kitchen.

Staffers, who had been scheduled to work that day, stood nearby and watched their livelihood torn down.

15 years missing: family wants answers “It was not like her,” West said at the time. “She was always in contact with her mother, and none of her friends or people who knew her have heard from her.”

West also told the Daily News that investigators had been unable to locate Sheilagh’s bicycle, which she used to travel around Duncan. The bike still hasn’t turned up.

West had similar feelings to those of the Coleman family, that someone out there knows more than they have shared.

“We really think there are people in the community with information about what happened to her,” she said.

According to Cpl. Krista Hobday

Sheilagh Coleman has been missing for more than 15 years now, but the family of the Duncan woman believes there are still people out there who have information about what happened to her.

Sheilagh was last seen on Aug. 16, 2000, and was reported missing on Aug. 22.

Laurel Coleman, the wife of Sheilagh’s brother, Stephen, believes Sheilagh was murdered the day she was last seen. The person the family believes is responsible for her disappearance was arrested at the time, but never charged with anything.

“They had nothing on him,” Laurel says.

Laurel says the man she believes is responsible is still living in the Duncan area, or was until recently.

“It’s pretty frustrating to see him walking around,” she says.

Laurel acknowledges that Sheilagh battled addictions and “ran with a tough crowd,” but she didn’t deserve the fate the family believes befell her.

“Even though she had problems, she was a good person,” Laurel says. “She had a very good relationship with her mother. That’s how I knew she was dead.”

Sheilagh was close to her

of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP, Sheilagh Coleman’s file is still classified as an active investigation, assigned to a member in the General Investigation Section. The disappearance is considered suspicious, and the investigation will remain open indefinitely.

“Police welcome any new information that may lead to Ms. Coleman’s whereabouts or shed light on any circumstances surrounding her disappearance,” Hobday said.

Any information might help bring some closure and comfort for the Coleman family.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and where she is,” Laurel says.

Schools facing huge curriculum overhaul done as there are plans to implement the kindergarten to Grade 9 Cowichan Valley teachers are curriculum in September 2016.

“For Grades 10-12, the first drafts being urged to try the new provincial curriculum before it becomes are starting to dribble out now.

Then they will go out for comment, mandatory next year.

School superintendent Rod Allen, go through a revision process and during a quick update for the board come out a little more fully fledged of education, still managed to in September 2016 for full implementouch on a lot of the aspects of the tation 2017. Me, personally, I think that’s optimistic. But it’s good to much-discussed changeover.

“The subject is everywhere right have goals,” Allen said.

Many aspects of the K-9 curricu- not be seen until about 15 years lum are ready to roll after receiving have passed, “because it is a cultura lot of input from the BC Teachers’ al shift, not just a new curriculum,” Federation and other education he added.

The byword in the new curriculum partners, he said. “It was written by teachers from across the province,” is flexibility, fitting what’s taught to how a student learns. But that still Allen said.

The pre-high school curriculum is leaves many observers asking about ready to try and “right now we are tests and marks.

We’re Skills Assessment (FSA) tests may urging them to try it out, find out be gone under the new regime but what kinds of supports that the dis- something must be done to assess trict and also the province has to how students are doing, Allen said.

A committee is suggesting that bring that curriculum alive.” will still want to check There’s more talking still to be the 3 column (4.33”) – province grayscale LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

For publication on September 4 and 9, 2015.

Notice Notice is given under sections 24 and 26 of the Community Charter that the Municipality of North Cowichan intends to dispose of the following four properties for less than market value. These properties identified as #1, 2, 3 and 4, on the map below, are being transferred in a fee simple land exchange to The Nature Trust of British Columbia, a non-profit society, to manage with the Vancouver Island Conservation Land Management Program partners which includes the Province of British Columbia. The Nature Trust of British Columbia, in cooperation with these partners, will actively manage these ecologically-sensitive lands for environmental conservation and produce crops with improved nutritive value to waterfowl.

Description of Land ▪ approximately 0.425 hectares of land… Lot 1, Plan 58389 – identified as #1 on the map below; ▪ approximately 4.41 hectares on the north side of the dike… Lot 3, Plan 39079 – identified as #2 on the map below; ▪ approximately 1.32 hectares on the north side of the dike… Lot 1, Plan 9384 (this property to be transferred to The Nature Trust of British Columbia upon acquisition from Grand Developments Ltd. [dba Fun Pacific]) – identified as #3 on the map below; and ▪ approximately 7.93 hectares on the north side of the dike… Remainder of Section 19, Range 17 – identified as #4 on the map below.

Superintendent Rod Allen each child around Grades 4 and 7, much as has been done with the FSA but with a new attitude.

“Children will find they are more successful at it,” he said.

“We’re going to see what that looks like.”

The next question is: what will graduation assessment look like?

“And that’s not presupposing we’re going to have any yet,” Allen told trustees, pointing out that questions are coming from everywhere on this one.

“What kind of evidence should we have to look at to determine if students are ready to move on to the next stage?

Should it be exams? In what areas? Is it portfolios? Is it this?

Is it that? There’s a pretty wide

open mandate,” he said.

But, at the same time, the ministry is creating some new secondary provincial assessments.

“The first one is Science 10.

Hallelujah! It’s striving to move a Trivial Pursuit exam for a Trivial Pursuit course into something deeper and more meaningful for kids,” Allen said.

The objective, he said, is not just to focus on content but to include collaboration and thinking like a scientist.

When talk moves to exams, the subject of report cards comes up.

Allen described report cards as “iconic” but said that now, in K-9, “60 per cent of school districts, at least, are not following the current reporting orders and are well outside it. They’re doing it with the consent of teachers and parents because it’s better for communication and better for kids.”

Allen said that a new style of reporting should be introduced in a couple of years and “there is a great desire that it should not be a new provincial report card,” he said. “A provincial report card would be the death knell of having a really meaningful conversation with parents and at least 60 districts would hate it if they mandated a single report card.”

Allen said there has already been teacher feedback, with concerns raised about resources and timelines.

“If I could summarize the feedback so far I’d say: ‘Love it, well overdue’ combined with concerns that ‘We can’t just go cold turkey to a radically different model.’”

Trustee Rob Hutchins got to the heart of another aspect, asking what was coming in the way of funding for new resources and training.

Allen wasn’t optimistic, opining that the district might be on its own.

“That’s a big question. I think that the forest fires this summer didn’t help money being available. There isn’t an option to do nothing and we have to do it together: teachers, communities, parents.”

It’s a fundamental shift in structure, Allen said, pointing out it’s not a case of rolling out new textbooks.

“Fewer and fewer teachers are relying on a single textbook to support the content of their courses. Those days are done.

Content is moving too fast.

There are other types of resources. As there is more flexibility around content, the chances of a single book meeting the needs of every child are slim and none,” he said.

‘We will get through this’ WHITE SPOT, From Page 1

The charred remains of the Duncan White Spot on the corner of the Trans Canada Highway and Cowichan Way. [SARAH SIMPSON/CITIZEN]

Community rallying around White Spot staff SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

The community, particularly those in the restaurant industry, has rallied in support of the staff of the White Spot after dozens lost their jobs when it burned down on Friday.

“I have been most impressed by the support from the people of the Cowichan Valley and I thank them for it,” long-time staffer Jane McConnell said.

Within hours of learning the news, Burger King manager Tyler Scammell has offered to hire one or two White Spot staffers temporarily, until they get back on their feet or until a new White Spot is rebuilt.

“I’m good friends with Casey, over at McDonalds, he’s the manager there, as well as Graham at Dairy Queen and I also know the Original Joe’s right next to us is hiring,” Scammell said. “If any White Spot staff needs a job, if I can’t hire them myself I’ll be able to at least redirect them on where to go.”

Scammell said he has posted his offer on the Citizen’s site in the White Spot fire thread, as well as on his own page. Similar posts will go on Used Cowichan as well as a few other places, he said.

“These people just lost their jobs. A lot of them are working day to day, paycheque to paycheque,” he said. “I just want to help out.”

So far the Lion Rampant Scottish Pub, the Oak and Carriage and Moo’s Pizza have offered to accept resumes.

A fundraising dance to help support displaced staff has been slated for Nov. 21 at the Eagles Hall in Duncan. Things kick off at 8 p.m. Check Facebook’s #619 White Spot Benefit Dance page for more information.

Rhonda Ring-Campbell, one of the dance’s organizers, managed the White Spot for six years and was on board during the last major renovation.

“It was our store and our home. It has hit home really hard,” she said. “Most of the staff, a lot of them I hired when they were kids. They’ve been there for a very long time. There’s three staff members that have been there since the store opened.

That was 20 years ago. It’s a store that gives so much to the community.”

Kids’ sports teams, the junior hockey teams in town, Tour de Rock and many more have been the recipients of White Spot’s good will.

“Giving back to the community is huge.

They’re always giving something. To see these people who’ve given so much, not to mention great food and service, to be out of a job...” is hard, she said. She wants to do her part in giving back to the staff.

“It’s a tough one. It is. But they’ll get through it. They’re a great bunch of people,” Campbell said.

“I’m hoping that this close to Christmas that there’ll be some extra money for them to make Christmas not as difficult as it would otherwise be with having the lack of income they would normally have,” she said.

REGISTRATION

It was a lot to take in, especially at the start of the Labour Day long weekend, a time that many people equate with fresh starts.

This was not the new beginning they were looking for.

It was especially tough for Jane McConnell, one of three staffers who’d worked there for 20 years.

“It upsets me no end, especially for the younger single-income workers,” she said. “I’m not sure when my next shift will be. Twenty years at one place with a great group of people and now everything has changed. I am sure some will have to find work right away; we will miss them. We are a big family, but we will get through this.”

Goliath said it’s his mission to support the employees that have worked so hard for him over the years.

“Without the people we would have no business. The building doesn’t mean all that much,” he said.

“Although the building may be gone at this point in time, the people are still there and one of our key focuses is to try to make sure all of the people we have that have done so well to help us build our business get looked after.”

Goliath set up a job fair Tuesday morning for his staff, to try to match them with other positions from other companies, including White Spot, between Langford and Nanaimo.

“We’ve had many, many local businesses send us contact information and offer us opportunities so we’re going to sit down with our people and determine what their desire is,” he said. “Some of them will go on a little bit of time off and we’ll lay them off. Some will need to work immediately so those people we will help place as quickly as possible and make sure their needs are met.”

Make no bones about it, Goliath wants

“How does that statement go? If you love it you have to let it go, if it loves you, it’ll come back?” he said. “That’s where we’re at now. I understand that they all need to work and if I had something to do I would keep them but I need them all to make sure they look after themselves and their families first and I’ve told them the fact that I want them all back and I’m going to do whatever I can to get them all back. The building just housed the business. The people ARE the business.”

OUR VIEW

Area E pool contribution would still be small

P

ercentage wise it’s a big increase, but the dollar amounts we’re talking about are small.

And that’s really the crux of the matter.

Some Area E residents are very unhappy that they are being asked to pay a higher tax rate for the pool than they have done in the past.

That new amount causing all the controversy is $8.43 per $100,000 assessed property value.

It’s worth noting that not all of the pool partners were thrilled with the original deal struck by

Area E, when residents there stopped having to pay the two-tier pool fees.

The City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan by far pay the lion’s share of the facility’s costs.

Some at the municipalities felt at the time that Area E was not being asked to contribute enough.

That discontent among the main partners makes it no surprise that Area E is being asked to increase its contributions.

Opponents to the increased cost cite lower rates for Areas A, B, C, D, F and I, but it’s

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

important to note that the deals struck with these communities take into account the fact that they are paying for the Kerry Park Recreation Centre and the Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre, respectively, as electoral areas further south pay into the Ladysmith pool and are thus not subject to two-tier fees for the Duncan pool.

Striking deals with these areas was a small step towards regional recreation funding, which for decades has been a virtually impossible sell and thorn in the side of the Cowichan Valley Regional District.

Area E is not party to these other recreation centre agreements.

Any steps on the road to regional funding are positive, as we’ve seen first-hand how trying to get any kind of agreement to even sub-regional funding for things at the CVRD board table can be like pushing a boulder up a mountain — repeatedly.

It’s also important to note that there was a significant group in Area E who wanted equal standing at the pool and were willing to pay to get it.

The dollars proposed now are still small, but a little more fair.

Electoral areas getting a bargain on the pool

I chuckled at Leo Kasbergen’s protest about a pending hike in the pool levy in Area E. I have no idea how the CVRD reconciles usage with the levy but then again we are talking about the CVRD chaired by the mayor of North Cowichan.

However, when it comes to what any of the areas of the CVRD pay for the pool levy it still falls far short of what taxpayers in North Cowichan pay to support the same facility.

The areas have no oar in the water when it comes to the capital investment in the pool. That all came from sources outside these areas.

Regardless of what the CVRD board ultimately passes into law, Mr. Kasbergen and the residents of Area E as well as A, B, C, and D are still getting a bargain.

Fees means public school is no longer free We should hold vote on highway upgrades After reading your umpteenth editorial about how the Malahat highway supposedly needs no further widening (Our View, Sept. 2), I found myself stuck on a conundrum. If two or three lanes are good enough for the Malahat, why was much of the Island Highway further north widened to four lanes at great expense decades ago when traffic volumes were only a fraction of what they are today?

There seems to be two main schools of thought regarding the type of intercity traffic arteries we should have here on the Island.

One is the optimalist philosophy which holds that the

provincial government should physically protect good drivers from the speeders by providing four-lane divided highways on its busiest routes.

Left turn intersections should be replaced by overpasses and exit ramps.

This view appears to be held mainly by truckers, commuters, and intercity motorists.

Many of them are demanding a freeway and are sometimes refusing to take “no” for an answer, especially if they have migrated here from parts of mainland Canada where superhighways are the norm.

Then there is the minimalist philosophy. This view holds that the provincial government has no particular obligations to its motorists beyond providing

police enforcement and a few basic safety features of the type described in your latest Malahat editorial; i.e. roadside reflectors and the like.

Special protections for good drivers simply pander to bad drivers. We should all trust that improved police enforcement will keep us safe by reforming or removing all the bad drivers from our highways.

Fiscal restraint rules, and the government can engage in cost-cutting to its heart’s content. It is fully up to every motorist to passively accept and adapt to whatever type of highway the government provides.

This view is held by the provincial government (obviously!), highway merchants, and some community newspapers that

appear to speak on their behalf.

Most other Islanders seem to be split on the issue.

We can endlessly and vainly debate it, or we can take the democratic measure of holding an Island-wide referendum to let the government know whether we want optimal or minimal standards of safety and efficiency for our busiest intercity highways. Will Victoria allow us a direct vote?

Duncan, this was the first time we’ve travelled through your city and because of an unfortunate incident discovered what Duncan is really made of.

In a world “all about me”, we met some amazing people, especially one individual who exceedingly restored our faith in humanity.

Proposed LNG development would cause serious harm Re: Proposal for an LNG liquefaction plant in Saanich Inlet.

Most weekends the campsite at Bamberton Park is full.

During the day 100 or more visitors will walk on Bamberton Beach and the ferry on “B.C’s most beautiful ferry route” [Mill Bay Ferry] will be carrying full loads of visitors to and fro.

This is a small but memorable part of the tourist experience which ultimately employs so many Islanders and brings so much pleasure to everybody involved.

The threatened LNG terminal at Bamberton will bring in tankers, each of which is about the size of a cruise ship.

These tankers will have to manoeuvre in and out of the restricted entrance of the Inlet and then interact with B.C. ferries, some carrying more than 1,000 passengers and crew.

The stored energy in an LNG tanker is of the order of a Hiroshima-type bomb, and

while natural gas is by no means the most flammable gas, one just has to read of the precautions that are being taken in the vicinity of new plants (evacuation routes etc.) to accept that it is universally recognized that an accident could have utterly catastrophic consequences.

Other recently constructed LNG plants report sound levels 2 to 3km from the plant of 45 to 50 dB. The maximum sound level for uninterrupted sleep is assessed at only 45dB. Sleep however, is not the main problem, which is the continuous (24/7) wear and tear of noise pollution when one is kayaking, walking the beach, looking at seals, whales, eagles, ospreys and the like.

The proposed throughput of LNG for the plant is six megatons per year.

Usually the plant compressors are powered by burning a proportion of this gas on site, generally about eight per cent.

These numbers translate to burning about 0.5 megatons of fuel per year at Bamberton which is roughly the amount of fuel burnt in one year by all

Called a tow truck and while we were waiting someone returning to their car asked if we had a problem.

After over an hour and with much diligence and perseverance, he managed to retrieve the keys. Because of his extreme kindness we were able to enjoy a few hours with our friends and catch the last ferry home.

We wish to publicly thank “Mr. J. Spice” who is a great Ambassador for the City of Duncan. You must be very proud.

of the B.C. ferry fleet!

The thought of all of the assorted B.C. ferries scurrying around within the Inlet during the day is of course ridiculous.

What is very real however is the amount of all of the fumes and combustion products that would be produced in this scenario.

The Inlet, being an inlet, is largely surrounded by high hills and mountains and on a still day, the confined exhaust products of the plant would surely threaten to create horrendous breathing problems for some citizens in Mill Bay, Brentwood Bay and incidentally, the village where the Malahat band live.

The Inlet is at present a stunning gateway to the Cowichan Valley which in turn has been described as one of the best places in the world.

This proposal just does not seem credible at any level. If it does survive to receive serious and prolonged consideration then great harm will be done to B.C.s reputation as a tourist venue and as a protector of the environment.

Island bus trip out of Nanaimo. Meandering up the coast from Swartz Bay to kill time and make the trip worth the ferry expense, stopped in Duncan to buy bottled water and accidentally locked the keys in the car.

With the help of a department store manager, we contacted a local locksmith who, unable to help us, suggested we contact the local car dealer, which we did and were told to tow the vehicle to the dealership and they would look at it the next day. Called 9-1-1 who promptly told us they could not help and to call a tow truck.

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure

Land swap a win-win say participants SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN

6955607

A land swap between the Municipality of North Cowichan and the The Nature Trust of British Columbia will benefit the community in two ways, say the groups.

The municipal land being traded will end up as a conservation area while the land the municipality gets in return will enable the completion of the region’s dike system and storm flood pump station.

“I am very pleased that we’ve been able to work with The Nature Trust of BC for the conservation of the Somenos Marsh area, while also protecting the urban areas within the University Village and the City of Duncan from a one in 200 year flood event,” said Mayor Jon Lefebure in a press release issued Sept. 2.

North Cowichan loses ownership of the land north of the dike (between the Trans Canada Highway and the dog park at Lakes Road) but gains lands on the east and west side of the Trans Canada Highway, north of Beverly Street.

“It has been six years since the 2009 flood, and with the completion of the final phase of diking, those previously-affected areas will be protected,” Lefebure said.

He was pleased the land the municipality is giving up will be used for conservation purposes.

With the transfer, “we will also be able to achieve the objectives of North Cowichan’s Official Community Plan to protect environmentally sensitive areas,” he said.

Nature Trust CEO Jasper Lament said the land swap enables the group to add a significant amount of land to its current Somenos Marsh Holdings.

The Nature Trust of British Columbia first acquired land at Somenos Marsh in 1976 to conserve habitat for a wide variety of migratory and resident birds as well as several species of salmonids,” he said. “Dedicating these lands for conservation purposes will help sustain the ecological values of Somenos Marsh. It will also assist The Nature Trust of B.C. and our local community stakeholders in furthering the restoration, enhancement and management objectives, including the use of wildlife-friendly agriculture.”

and be sure to take the kids around to see all the animals before hitting the midway.

At 8 p.m., country diva Karen Lee Batten brings her magic to the main stage.

Sunday is the final day of the fair so if your schedule’s been tight there’s still time to see all the exhibits and enjoy the outdoor fun like the miniature horses in the show ring, the jumper show in the horse ring, the antique tractor parade and the displays as well as Twiggly Wiggly the Clown and The Wizard and The Enchantress roving the grounds.

Another special lunchtime event on Sunday is the annual pet show at 1 p.m. on the main stage. Don’t miss it.

••• Inside Mellor Hall, the exhibits range widely from field and garden produce to home crafts like flower arranging, baking, needlework, hobbies, photography, quilting and winemaking. Competition is fierce and there’s lots of inspiration in seeing what Valley folks of all ages get up to when they put their minds to it.

Outdoors, in the Exhibition’s barns, families can enjoy seeing rabbits, sheep, poultry, beef and dairy cattle, horses and more. There are always people ready to answer your questions and many interesting displays as well.

Surprises are around every corner at the 2015 Cowichan Exhibition.

Calling all football fans. Would you like to get up close and personal with Canada’s legendary Grey Cup? You can! Come see it on Sunday, Sept.

13 and get your photo taken.

It only takes a non-perishable donation to the food bank; it’s all part of the Kubota Grey Cup Tour.

Two top international lumberjack athletes, the Laughing Loggers, will square off in a lumberjack attack in two shows per day on Sept. 11 and 12. They’ll compete in axe throw, wood chopping, crosscut saw, chainsaw race, log rolling, and the loud and proud hot saw event.

In addition, Nick Hall from The Hall of Chain will be creating works of art with his chainsaw through the weekend. Sidekick Ben Lefler tries to keep up and once a day they will enter in to a duel where they will carve their best in 30 minutes before the crowd judges the winner.

Kids can learn to ride an ATV safely and responsibly in a special event aimed at reducing accidents and injuries. A special mobile training unit with Mudd Safety instructors at the fair supplies the ATVs and the riding gear for a fun and safe ride.

Fans will be pleased to know that again this year a draft horse show will take place on all three days featuring these magnificent crowd-pleasing animals.

••• On Friday, Sept. 11, the fun kicks off in the morning with the 4-H horse show and hand milking contest (11 a.m.) and the first of the weekend’s antique tractor parades, and many, many indoor and outdoor displays.

By lunch time, the sheepdog and duck demonstration will be sure to please the crowd and by 3 p.m. the midway opens to add its special atmosphere to the grounds as activities continue throughout the site.

The grand opening ceremonies are scheduled for 7 p.m. at the main stage and at 8 p.m. Me and Mae take over for an exciting evening of music.

The action heats up even more Saturday, with all kinds of livestock presentations in the show ring, the sheep shearing demo, the antique tractor race and the zucchini race (2 p.m.), the $500 Jackpot Yearling Heifer Show and the dog agility course.

In the late afternoon, it’s time for the annual 4-H auction and a log skidding agility demonstration.

And, of course, there’s everything else that makes the Cow Ex so delightful.

Six months earlier, Dr. Walkem testified, Mrs. Embleton had complained of pain in her left side and dizziness, and had expressed the fear that she was pregnant.

He’d diagnosed an inflamed ovary, warned her against using her foot-pedal sewing machine, and prescribed a tonic.

The inquest gained extraordinary newspaper coverage, much of it extremely graphic for the Victorian age that didn’t even acknowledge bodily functions let alone sexual matters. For Thomas Embleton, the loss of his wife and the mother of his children was compounded when, despite the inquest’s blank ruling, he was charged with having procured the potions by which his wife Annie had attempted to induce miscarriage.

COWICHAN’S 147 EXHIBITION TH

Message from the President Your summer vacation is over, back to work, back to school, back to the old grind. Cheer up, you can stretch one more weekend of holiday fun into your summer, and it’s right here, close to home. Come out to the Cowichan Exhibition and take in the exhibits, entertainment, midway, competitions and food at the Fall Fair.

The 147th edition of the Cowichan Exhibition will be held on September 11, 12 and 13 on the Fairgrounds at the Mays Road, Trans-Canada Highway intersection north of Duncan.

Dinter Nursery is always proud to support the Cowichan Exhibition.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! We have been in the Cowichan Valley for over 40 years!

B DINTER NURSERY LTD. 5 km. South of Duncan on Trans Canada Hwy. Across from Whippletree Junction

PROUD TO SUPPORT THE COWICHAN EXHIBTION Enjoy the Fair!

WIDE VARIETY OF REPAIRS FOR ALL YOUR LEATHER, FOOT WEAR & MUCH MORE! Serving the Cowichan Valley for over 30 Years Remember our Great Rear Parking Monday - Saturday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 291 Trunk Road, DUNCAN

If you have never been to the Fair or if you have not been since it moved to its new location you may not realize that on the west side of the Fairgrounds there is 30 acres of free parking. When you arrive there are free golf cart shuttles running right to the fair gates and the best way to start a fun day is with a free ride.

This year’s theme at the Fair is “Water--Liquid Gold.”

Two of the exhibits that promote water conservation and food production are a Keyhole Garden and a selfcontained hydroponic growing system from Raincoast Aquaponics. Both of these systems use very little water and recycle waste to fertilize the growing medium.

Check them both out as they may inspire you to make some innovations to your own garden or farm.

There is lots to see and do when you arrive at the Exhibition. Once you are on the grounds all the activities and entertainment are included in the admission, you only pay for food, drinks and rides. Let me take you on a quick walk through the grounds and highlight a few of the attractions. As you come in the main gate, from our vast parking lot, on your right you will see the Kids’ Zone with lots of free hands on activities. On your left there are three barns filled with 4H and livestock displays. Directly ahead is Mellor Hall, home to the competitive displays of local produce and handiwork. To your the left is the livestock ring with large animal judging and activities.

The next building on the left beyond the ring is the light horse barn with the Keyhole Garden display at the front.

Moving forward is the light horse show ring with riding and jumping competitions happening throughout the day. Beside that ring are the gastronomic delights of the food court area, a must visit section for most Fair goers.

Next is the stage area where our entertainment is held, on Friday evening it’s country band Me and Mae and on Saturday night it’s Karen Lee Batten. Close by is our beer garden, which will feature local Red Arrow craft beer this year. Moving past the stage, in the lower area next to the highway is the excitement of the Midway.

Going north on the Exhibition Grounds will bring you to the Kubota display which will have the Grey Cup in attendance on Sunday from 1 till 3 o’clock. With a donation to the food bank you can have your picture taken with this iconic Canadian Football Trophy. To the west is a chance to try your hand shooting at the Cowichan Bowmen Archery exhibit. Moving down to the lower field you will find the Tractor Pull competition track. Along side this is the display of antique farm equipment, juxtaposed with new equipment showing how farming technologies have changed.

New this year in the lower field is the Laughing Loggers Show (twice daily) and the Mudd Safety training, teaching children how to safely ride quads, on Saturday and Sunday.

Check our website www.cowex.ca plus link from there to our twitter account for more details of our entertainment and exhibits.

Your summer vacation does not have to be over, stretch it out one more weekend with a blast of fun at the Cowichan Exhibition. See you there!

Tony Irwin. President, Cowichan Exhibition.

Our main goal at Mudd Safety Awareness is to support communities and families in reducing the incident of youth accidents and injuries related to the use of ATV’s. By bringing our mobile training to your community it allows individuals to easily become educated on safety and respect for the equipment, which allows individuals to have a better understanding of embracing adventure using ATV’s. Being safe on an ATV is very important and the safety knowledge individuals acquire from our programs allows them to live life wholeheartedly and embrace the adventures ATV’s can bring. These programs remove most of the limitations and uneasiness individuals feel about ATV’s and open up the opportunity for everyone to be safe and enjoy the outdoors and trails open to them.

SUPPORTING RESCUERS Crew member Jaap Zwaan from the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue - Station 34, receives a cheque for $1,500 from Bruce Cafferky of RBC Dominion Securities, Duncan. The cheque was from the RBC Foundation. This donation is a start in supporting RCMSAR 34 in their efforts to raise $50,000 for a vessel refit scheduled for 2017.

It’s a left turn, not acceleration lane

A

gentleman from Courtenay explained about the regular difficulty that he encountered when he used the two-way left turn lanes in that city. Most recently, he was travelling north on Cliffe Avenue attempting a left turn into Tim Hortons. A woman turned southbound out of the Husky just ahead of him into the two-way left turn lane as well.

They were now approaching each other head on.

Legally, this woman is required to leave the two-way left turn lane by turning left once she has occupied it. The gentleman is entitled to expect that she will obey the law and will not interfere with his left turn. It’s a good thing that she used her right turn signal and he saw it. Waiting to turn left prevented a collision that would have occurred had he turned when she accelerated into the first through lane on her right.

Wrongly, many drivers see the relatively quiet two-way left turn lane as a way to reduce the complication of crossing three lanes of traffic and occupying the first available lane for their

PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED ROGERS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY 65-METER SELF-SUPPORT STRUCTURE

intended direction of travel. Instead, they move into the turn lane, accelerate to the speed of surrounding traffic and then move right into the lane they should have entered in the first instance.

Turning left is one of the more dangerous moves that we make when we drive. When traffic is heavy it can be difficult to track and account for all of the drivers who are following the rules.

The woman should not have left the Husky driveway if she could not comfortably reach the correct lane. Probably unwittingly, she made a left turn less safe for someone else when she did this.

Bollywood to traditional: show brings taste of India LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Bollywood is one of the most easily recognized, colourful and exciting aspects of the culture of India.

You can enjoy a spectacular feast for the eyes, ears and soul at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre Friday, Sept. 25 as The Spirit of India comes to Duncan.

Legendary musician Rahis Bharti is bringing his incredible ensemble of musicians and dancers — The Bollywood Masala Orchestra and Dancers of India — for one show beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The Spirit of India is a lavish, colourful and unique presentation, bringing brass band, classical and traditional Indian music together for the first time.

It’s surely the music of India as it’s never been heard before.

Bharti, one of India’s greatest musical figures, is part of a musical dynasty that goes back seven generations.

He has travelled the world and heard various musical cultures and has developed an innovative, bold vision of live Indian music and dance to bring the sounds and spirituality of his homeland to worldwide audiences.

The extravaganza is Bharti’s dream, and the vibrant ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers has performed to huge audiences since its inception in 2012.

Whether playing at outdoor music festivals or lavishly-decorated indoor

Company to prove that Ballet Rocks in new show LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The Spirit of India production pairs the traditional with flashier Bollywood styles to create a stage show that has delighted audiences worldwide. [SUBMITTED] stages, it seems audiences crowds around the world can’t get enough.

The 17-member orchestra is made up of musicians from Rajasthan and northern India and they take audiences on a journey from Rajasthan to Mumbai.

Songs vary from traditional Rajasthani songs to hits from popular Bollywood movies.

Instruments including bass drums, side drums, trombone, tabla, dholak, harmonium and clarinet, contribute

to this feast of sound and singers and lavishly costumed dancers, acrobats, fire-eaters, snake charmers, sword dancers make it a spicy feast for the eyes, too.

Don’t miss this spirited celebration of one of the world’s most fascinating cultures.

Tickets are $44 for adults and $38 for students.

Get them in person at the Ticket Centre, 2687 James St., at cowichanpac.ca or by phone at 250-748-7529.

Ballet Rocks is back and hotter than ever at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre.

Dancers from Ballet Victoria take to the stage Friday, Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Artistic director Paul Destrooper is right now preparing an event that will showcase a whole new side of the ballet art form.

They’ve used this concept before but this year’s show is even more creative, according to Destrooper.

“The concept of using some rock music is coming back but the repertoire is going to be different,” Destrooper said. “We’re mixing the pieces. We will again use some Pink Floyd but there is new choreography and we will use some B.B. King. We’re creating the whole work, we’ve just started on it. We’ll also be using something from musical theatre, maybe some music from Moulin Rouge, a little bit of old school swing: any of these rocking eras, from the 1920s to the 21st century.”

Sounds like the ballet buffet is offering a variety of hot dishes this time.

But, there’s more.

“We’re going to be bringing back a piece that actually put Evelyn Hart on the world map of dance, a piece by a Port Moody-born choreographer named Norbert Vesak. It’s a pas de deux called Belong and the music is by Syrinx, which is also an old band, like Deep Purple.”

This special selection holds a special place in Canadian and world dance history and Destrooper himself has personal experience in its presentation.

Evelyn Hart, dancing in it, won the world competition in Varna, in Bulgaria, which is like the Olympics of ballet and happens only every four years.

“She was the first Canadian to win the gold medal there and after that she became history.

This is a tribute to that piece.

‘Jeeves Intervenes’ worthy successor: actors for two hours you can be transported into a totally other world and a new era. It’s harmless, it’s fun, it’s frothy, it’s a delight,” he said.

Pollard wasn’t in Jeeves In Bloom but is well aware that there is a horde of Wodehouse fans ready to storm the battlements to see this second instalment.

“I was visiting my aunt and uncle up in Comox and he was in the air force as a young flyer in the war. He said, ‘Oh! Jeeves. Are you playing Aunt Agatha?’ And I cried: ‘Yes, you know who I am!’”

And Pollar d has met other Wodehouse-fanciers.

“So many people who grew up in England grew up on those books.

I’m not familiar with them but I think I will be now. And I love that this audience gets the same Jeeves and Bertie because they’re awfully, awfully good at their parts,” she said.

Two fine actors who know their characters inside and out builds a firm foundation for a good show overall.

“It’s so funny. I’ve never been so prepared. We were off book and doing run-throughs four days ago and that was in the middle of the second week. There’s not a lot of subtext, of course, it’s not Chekhov, but we can still finesse the timing and the comedy. So, all day, it’s very talented people going over and over and over something to make it funnier.”

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The perfection achieved by the Jeeves character is a challenge, admits actor Bernard Cuffling. [LEXI BAINAS/CITIZEN] to. I’m not part of a conversation; I really have to concentrate. Particularly in this production where I have many more entrances and exits with tea things and glasses and coats and such.”

Each one fraught with peril.

“It’s a much more technical production than last time.

Which also means timing has to be perfect, of course.”

Author, P.G. Wodehouse provides terrific material that has a wide appeal.

“Last year, on Wednesdays, we had talk backs and we found so many people in the audience had read the entire collection of Wodehouse. We had people coming from all over the Island to see it. It’s that wonderful era of the ’20s, that air of gentility; people love that. We’ve got beautiful characters and we’ve got great writing.”

But that offers many opportunities for slip-ups so Cuffling has to be constantly on his toes.

“What I find the most difficult

is I have to keep repeating their names and we’ve got names like Mr. Bassington-Bassington and Miss Gertrude Winklesworth-Bode. Beautiful names but they’re real tongue twisters.

So even at this late stage in my career I have to do voice exercises to get ready.”

But it’s a lot of fun and he’s enjoying working with the cast.

“If it goes as well as last time and there’s no reason it shouldn’t, it looks like we’ll have a hit on our hands. None of us knew how it would work last year, with the dialogue being figurative and beautiful.

It might have been too much to take but the audience just took to it straight away,” Cuffling said.

He thinks audiences are going to love the escape into gentility and comedy.

“I keep telling myself that I’m not going to turn on the TV. Look what we’ve gone through on the west coast this year with the forest fires. With this show,

A talented group of actors is preparing a delicious follow-up to the smash hit, Jeeves in Bloom.

Jeeves Intervenes brings back to the Chemainus Theatre last year’s Jeeves and Wooster (Bernard Cuffling and Warren Bain) plus Barbara Pollard as Aunt Agatha, Brian Linds as Sir Rupert, Olivia Hutt as Gertrude Winklesworth-Bode and Seth Little as Eustace Bassington-Bassington.

The show opens Sept. 11 and runs until Oct. 3.

Cuffling is thrilled to reprise his take on the wooden-faced but all-knowing and ever-resourceful manservant, Jeeves, and took time out to talk between rehearsals last week.

“We had such fun with the other Jeeves and it was a big success, too. We sort of knew at the time that we were going to do Part Two. Mark DuMez asked if we’d be available to come back and we said yes, love to and here we are,” he said.

Part of the joy of preparing for this show is that Cuffling and Bain now know Jeeves and Wooster inside and out.

“They’re such interesting characters. To play Jeeves, I cannot afford, as an actor, to make any mistake on that stage. If I drop a teaspoon, it’s almost like a house of cards.

Jeeves has got to be perfection,” he said.

There’s an interesting aspect to the difficulty of playing Jeeves, according to Cuffling.

“As actors we rely on dialogue — talking to each other — but in Jeeves Intervenes, I have to be looking out so I have to know the script very well. And it’s tough because I’m introducing things or waiting to be spoken

Every play, movie or book about that era seems to have an aunt in it somewhere and in this play, it’s Pollard’s Aunt Agatha.

“Oh yes, there is this foil in the elder female who has money and power. She lords it over young men.

That’s a great and cruel punishment but oh, so fun. They talk about me as if I chew glass with my teeth and wear barbed wire next the skin so when I come in you’ve got this image in your mind of this terrible, terrible, nasty person. But it’s just because Aunt Agatha has a say in his life.”

Audiences are going to love Jeeves Intervenes, in Pollard’s view.

“I’ve seen the jokes and know the timing and I’m laughing all day long. It’s good for your soul to laugh that hard, not to mention being extremely good for your lungs and your digestion,” she said.

The production offers theatregoers all the classic aspects of British comedy but “I think they’ll be surprised and delighted at the level of physical antics and verbal repartee.

It’s all there.”

Tickets are available now by going online at chemainustheatre. ca or by calling the box office at 1-800-565-7738.

Show enhancements are available, and include: free talk-backs with the cast and crew following Wednesday performances and a special showthemed dinner in the Playbill Dining Room.

“It’s old school, you know, rock and choreography but it’s an extremely demanding pas de deux, very difficult,” Destrooper said.

It’s also closely connected with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

“Of course, I had to speak with the director, Andre Lewis, artistic director of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, to get the permission to set it and for us to do it.

It’s a pas de deux I danced at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet when I was there, with Tara Birtwhistle.”

So this will be a spectacular evening for dance fans, and it won’t be the only time this year that Ballet Victoria will be coming to Duncan.

“We’ll be bringing our version of The Nutcracker to the theatre in December.

That’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Tomasz Leszek Jedrysiak It is with great sorrow that I am sharing the news of the passing of Tomasz Leszek Jedrysiak.   Tomasz died in peace on Vancouver Island in British Columbia on September 3rd, 2015, following an almost three years of treatments for brain cancer. His wife of 32 years, Roma, was by his side.   Tomasz will be deeply missed by his wife, daughter Hannah and mother Franciszka. In addition to his wife,  daughter and mother, Tomasz is mourned by his brother Wojciech (Bogumila) and nephews Bartosz and Piotr, relatives in Poland and many dear friends around the world.  Tomasz led a very fulfilling life, having made many friends along his journey from the beginning in Poland through to the time he spent in Greece, Toronto, Bermuda, and more recently in British Columbia.   He approached his life with a gregarious and humorous attitude, always quick with a smile and a kind word. Having had many different careers over the years, he found passion and fulfillment in his work as a structural engineer, career he dedicated his life.  We all have our own special memories of times spent with Tomasz and feel lucky to have known him. The world was a better place with Tomasz as a part of it.  He has left behind many happy memories and will be sadly missed.  The family wishes to thank Dr. JP McGhie and Dr. David Peterson and the other medical professionals at the Cowichan District Hospital and the Jubilee Hospital  whose great care allowed Tomasz to enjoy life with his family for more than two years after his diagnosis.

Our special thanks and gratitude goes to the Victoria Hospice staff as well, with their help Tomasz was able to end his life peacefully and with dignity.

As was Tomaszâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wish his remains will be cremated and he will be laid to rest in Poland, beside his father who passed away earlier this year. Â Â A small family and friends ceremony to celebrate Tomaszâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life will be held at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church 5800 Church Road, Duncan, BC on Thursday, September 10th at 3:00 PM.

Noelle Louise Ponich August 31, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Noelle Louise Ponich (Betty) on August 31, 2015. She will be dearly missed by her loving husband of 70 years, Vladimir Ponich (Laddie) and by her children, Paul (Stancia De Blasi), Madeline (Ted Simonett) and Nancy (Frank Bonner), and by her grandchildren, Katya, Natasha (Chris), Trevor (Liz), and Scott (Melina).

Always putting her family first, Betty selflessly shared her generosity, her grace, her thoughtfulness, warmth, and wisdom. Betty loved to sew, and although she never considered her talent for sewing to be special, it truly was. She was a remarkably accomplished, self-taught seamstress as well as being a wonderful cook. Always sharing her gifts with love, she kept her family close. She will rest forever in our hearts.

We extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the staff of Sherwood House and particularly to Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caregivers for their many kindnesses, and also to the staff at Cowichan District Hospital for the compassion they extended to our family during this difficult time.

We especially offer our deepest gratitude to Dr. Kim Grymaloski for the many years of care, support and guidance that he provided.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Vasculitis Foundation of Canada would be gratefully appreciated.

DEATHS

DEATHS

Rev. Desmond Harger Hall Born September 15, 1922 Died August 27, 2015 Prayers were answered and Dad received his heavenly reward on August 27, 2015.

His life was committed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;being a servant of the Gospelâ&#x20AC;?. That life purpose took him from his birthplace in England to India where he served as a soldier during the Second World War. His military training and experiences were instrumental in shaping his subsequent years.

Upon returning to England, he attended Spurgeonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theological College, met and married his wife, Winifred.

Together they returned to India, Dad as missionary and pastor (primarily at Bombay Baptist Church) with Mom (d.,2001) as a nurse.

As the family grew, they returned to England. Dad pastored there for several years before he packed up his family and headed to Canada in the early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Dad and Mom served in Baptist churches in Ontario (Kenora & New Liskeard), Manitoba (Thompson) and BC (Port Alberni, Mill Bay). They finally settled down in Mill Bay, BC where they built their first home.

Their three boys (Chris, David and Peter) were raised to enjoy their surroundings and each found a spouse (Ruth, Judy, and Annette) from each province.

The family included 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

Pets were a big part of Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and especially in his later years he would care for any he found. We expect to find him in heaven doing the same.

We will miss his stories and perspective on modern life but rejoice that he is free of the pain he felt in his latter years. We are also very grateful to his friends and care givers who made his days comfortable.

A memorial service was held on Tuesday Sept 8th.

Caps attract attention on eve of season “We’re excited about Friday night for sure.

The guys have worked extremely hard in camp and through the exhibition games. They’re chomping at the bit. They’re ready to start the season.”

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

In the hopes of ending their lengthy playoff drought, the Cowichan Valley Capitals made a lot of changes over the offseason, and while the full impact of those changes won’t be seen until the B.C. Hockey League season gets under way later this week, someone has taken notice.

When the Canadian Junior Hockey League preseason rankings were released last week, the Caps were tabbed for an honourable mention. The other BCHL teams to crack the national rankings were the league’s finalists from last season — the Penticton Vees at No. 1 and the Nanaimo Clippers at No. 10 — and the Prince George Spruce Kings at No. 15.

The rankings are based entirely on perception, however, so head coach Bob Beatty doesn’t put a lot of stock in them.

“I guess it’s a compliment, but it doesn’t mean anything unless we perform,” he said. “We’ll look at the standings and decide if we’re successful.”

The Caps wrapped up the exhibition season over the weekend, finishing with four wins and two losses. Their last three games included a 6-5 overtime win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs last Wednesday, a 5-3 loss to the Clippers in Nanaimo last Friday, and a 2-1 win over the Clippers at the Island Savings Centre on Saturday.

Standing out for the Caps down the stretch were Luke Santerno, who scored all three goals in Nanaimo, with Jake Switzer recording a couple of assists; newcomer Jared Domin, who potted the overtime winner against Alberni; and Mackenzie Bauer, whose goal on Saturday was his second game-winner of the preseason.

The Caps also got outstanding netminding from returnee Lane Michasiw and major junior veteran Storm Phaneuf, who are expected to form a strong tandem this season.

“I thought our goaltending was

With the preseason now over, the Cowichan coaches are working to sort out the lineup they will take into the season opener on Friday. With a couple of final cuts to make and players being made available by other teams, there are some tough decisions to make.

“It’s convoluted right now,” Beatty said.

The Caps let three players go on Saturday, including two that they are planning to affiliate: Cowichan Valley minor hockey product Keenan Eddy, who will play with the Kerry Park Islanders, and defenceman Joe Gage, who will also play junior B on the Island.

“Keenan had a good camp,” Beatty said. “He plays the game the right way. He has some

future, some upside. [Kerry Park head coach Aaron Spotts] said he’s going to play in all situations. He’s a guy we certainly will utilize.”

Also released on Saturday was 19-year-old American forward Jake Simons, who had 65 points

in 33 games as a high-schooler last year.

“The guys who have been here have worked extremely hard and they’ve made some tough decisions necessary,” Beatty said.

In another move over the weekend, the Caps traded veteran for-

ward Brodie Smith to Alberni.

Among the players who will start the season with the Caps are two 16-year-olds: local product Kyle Topping and fellow forward Shawn Kennedy. Topping recently returned to the Caps from the Kelowna Rockets’ camp, and Ryan Hogg, another Cowichan minor hockey product, came back to the Caps from the Victoria Royals’ camp. Hogg played last season as a 16-year-old and is still considered an under-ager this year.

“I thought Ryan played his best game this fall on Saturday night,” Beatty said. “He scored a goal, and we were really happy with his play.”

Bolstering the lineup this year is a trio of imports: forwards Jared Domin and Matt Hudie, and defenceman Josh Owings, all of whom played for the Little Caesars U18 team in Michigan last year.

“They came to our Michigan camp and we were able to see them there and recruit them over the summer,” Beatty said.

“They seem to be very happy here, and they will certainly be good players.”

The Caps will begin the regular season this weekend with a pair of home games, hosting the Victoria Grizzlies Friday at 7 p.m. and Alberni Valley on Saturday, also at 7 p.m.

“We’re excited about Friday night for sure,” Beatty said. “The guys have worked extremely hard in camp and through the exhibition games. They’re chomping at the bit. They’re ready to start the season.”

Duncan ballplayers help Parksville win Westerns KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

A Duncan baseball duo helped the Parksville Royals win the gold medal at the Western Canada AAA Midget Baseball Championships in Yorkton, Saskatchewan late last month.

In their first year of midget ball, second baseman Zach Waddington and first baseman/pitcher Robinder Dhut both played key roles with the Parksville-based team made up of players from across Vancouver Island.

Wearing the colours of Team BC, the Royals triumphed over a field of five teams including two each from Saskatchewan and Manitoba and one from Alberta.

“It took a while to set in, but once it did, it was a pretty good feeling,” said Waddington, a veteran of several provincial championship tournaments who was making his first trip to Westerns.

Dhut reflected on the team’s growth from the start of the BC Premier Baseball League season through the Western Canadian championship.

“It was a really amazing experience to get to win with the teammates I had and the great coaching staff,” he said. “We gelled pretty good together. We worked hard at practice and we worked together well.”

Dhut was impressed with the level of talent displayed by the other teams in Yorkton.

“The competition was good,” he said. “There were some good ball clubs.”

The Royals opened the tournament on Aug. 20 with a tough 7-6 loss to the host Parkland Expos.

Robinder Dhut and Zach Waddington celebrate winning the Western Canadian midget AAA baseball championship with the Parksville Royals. [SUBMITTED] Leading after six innings, the Royals gave up two runs on the bottom of the seventh as Parkland pushed ahead. A five-error outing didn’t help the Royals.

Parksville then put together a 7-3 win over the North Winnipeg Pirates on Aug. 21. Later that day, in what manager Jim Seredick called “the pivotal game of the tournament” where the Royals came together as a team, they fell behind the St. Albert Cardinals 2-0 but rebounded to win 3-2.

“We battled back as a team,” Waddington said. “It was a team effort.”

On the morning of Aug. 22, the Royals faced the Northwest Pirates from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, winning 6-1, scoring all six runs in the third inning.

Waddington picked up two hits in that game. Later that day, they wrapped the round robin against the St. James A’s from Winnipeg. After enduring a “pressure-packed” six scoreless innings, the Royals finally scored twice in the top of the seventh then held off the A’s in the bottom of the frame to win 2-0.

The Royals matched up again with St. Albert on Aug. 23 as the top two teams squared off in the championship game. Tied 1-1 after seven innings, in which the Royals gave up just two hits, the nail-biter went into extra innings, but Parksville collected the decisive run in the bottom of the 11th inning.

Over the 11 innings, the Royals out-hit the Cardinals 10-3 and left

14 men on base to the Cardinals’ five.

“We had a few chances to win,” Dhut said. “We found a way to win in the end.”

The Parksville coaches were pleased with the result.

“The kids really came together, supported each other, picked each other up and did what they had to do in order to win,” coach Wes Dieleman said.

“This was a very satisfying team win,” coach Lee McKillican said. “We didn’t have as many wins during the regular season as we would have liked and for the boys to play good pressure baseball against the best AAA teams in Western Canada, all of whom had multiple pick up players from other teams was really gratifying.

We were deserving winners in this tournament.”

To qualify for Westerns, the Royals had played the North Shore Twins in a best-of-three series, with the winner going to nationals and the runner-up going to Westerns. The Twins ended up second at nationals.

“We did well at Westerns,” Waddington said. “We represented B.C. very well.”

Waddington and Dhut were both first-year players with the Royals, although they have played together for years. The step from bantam AAA to the senior premier league is a huge one, they agreed.

“It’s the most competitive level in B.C. right now,” Waddington said.

“Everybody is older and stronger and faster,” Dhut said. “It’s a great experience though.”

Both players are back in fall ball now as they look toward next season. Dhut is going into Grade 11 and isn’t sure where he’ll be playing next summer.

It is his goal to get a college scholarship, and “maybe farther than that.”

Before going to Saskatchewan, Dhut had just returned from a major tournament in Centralia, Washington with a B.C. all-star team, and he is now about to head to Arizona for a scouting camp run by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Waddington is starting Grade 12 and is hoping to secure a scholarship to play in the U.S. some time this year.

“I’m thinking about going all the way, as far as I can,” he said.

Seniors curling club seeks new members Senior curlers of all skill levels are invited to join the Duncan Seniors Curling Club, which begins play next month. No experience is required.

“It’s more of a friendly thing,” spokesperson Sharol Tomshak said. “It’s not high competition, but there are some good curlers within the teams.”

Curlers don’t have to have a team to register. The club divides all the members up into mixed teams of men and women each season.

“It’s a nice way to get to know people and have some fun, especially for people who are new to the community,” Tomshak said.

Two members of the Ceevacs Roadrunners ended summer by completing the Challenge Penticton Half-Ironman Triathlon on Aug. 30.

The race consisted of a 1.9km swim, 90km bike ride, and finally a 21.1km (half-marathon) run.

Colleen Vanderheide finished second in her age group in her first-ever half-iron and 246th overall out of 438 starters with a time of six hours, 25 minutes and 52 seconds.

Danna Hadden, meanwhile, finished 10th in her age group with a time of 8:23:18, good for 405th place overall.

Ceevacs duo answers the half-ironman challenge

ber and January to March, with new teams in each season. Each season wraps up with a windup funspiel and banquet.

Fees are $250 for the entire year, but the club offers lower rates for curlers who want to sign up for just one season.

Game nights are twice a week at the Glen Harper Curling Centre on Sherman Road, although there is the option to curl just once a week “It’s very flexible,” Tomshak said.

Members of the club range in age up into their late 80s.

“It shows you can still keep curling for years,” Tomshak said.

For more information or to sign up, contact Sharol Tomshak at 250-597-8224 or Bryan Aaberg at 250-324-8927.
