At last measurement, a Skutz Falls fire that ignited Tuesday evening was mapped at 16 hec-tares, up six hectares from Wed-nesday’s estimate, according to the BC Coastal Fire Centre, but
that number may be deceiving. While the fire likely did grow
in area, the higher measurement also means crews were able to gather more exact GPS data as to the fire’s borders on Thursday compared to previous days’ esti-mates, explained Fire Informa-
tion Officer Marg Drysdale.“It’s a moving target for the first
little while,” she said. “You take a couple of people’s best guesses and you factor in smoke and you factor in slope, all of those things, and until they actually can get a mapped size, it’s never exact.”
T h e h u m a n - c a u s e d f i r e remained 20 per cent contained Thursday morning.
Drysdale said the incident com-mander reported that with the personnel that he has — now a crew of 75 on the ground in addi-tion to five helicopters in the air
and other aircraft on standby — he believed he’s going to have better containment by the end of Thursday. The commander gave no indication of how much con-tainment is hoped for.

SARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Duncan’s Paul Tindall Henry, a 25-year-old Vancouver Island University student, has his whole life ahead of him. That life just got a little easier thanks to a new cus-tom wheelchair and van supplied with the help of family, friends and strangers.
Henry has muscular dystrophy, a degen-erative muscle disorder that’s been mak-ing it harder to get around of late.
“It’s a slow erosion of what you can and cannot do,” his mom Leslie Tindall explained.
Henry’s condition affects both his arms and legs making movement at times dangerous.
“He can’t walk long distances and he can’t walk up stairs anymore and he can’t walk up a hill or on uneven ground,” Tin-dall said. “It’s very difficult for him to navi-gate so it becomes very unsafe. He’s in real danger of falling and hurting himself.”
A strapping young man at six-feet tall, Tindall said her son has done an amazing job at hauling himself around.
“We figured this year he just needed a little bit more help,” she explained.
A wheelchair would give Henry the option to walk or roll depending on his activity. A van would further expand his horizons.
But Tindall and her son soon learned working with the government to get Henry what he needed wouldn’t be easy.
“We really had to fight with the ministry to get Paul accepted,” Tindall explained. “Their rules and regulations are very strict on who qualifies for help.”
She said as long as Henry could take one step on his own he was out of luck in terms of provincial funding.
“And he needed some extras on the wheelchair that they didn’t want to cover. It was a really interesting battle,” Tindall said. “Our community occupational ther-apist really helped fight the battle for it. It was a really long process.”
Eventually though, the province agreed to give Henry his chair. As soon as that happened, Tindall learned her own health coverage would also cover 99 per cent of it.
So in the end, the back and forth with the ministry was for naught, and the private
health coverage was used, “which was good because then the ministry’s money could go to somebody else who needed it,” she said.
So with the $30,000 wheelchair secured, the family turned their attention to secur-ing funds for the $60,000 van needed to haul it.
“You’re so dependent on so many other people when you have a disability, but to have that independence to get yourself here and there, I think is really important,” Tindall said.
Family in Australia helped jumpstart the van campaign, sending about half of what was needed.
And then it was Cowichan’s turn.“The support has been phenomenal,”
Tindall said. “People who we’ve never met have come through and have been so gen-erous and so giving of time and what they have. It’s amazing to be on the receiving end of this community and what people can give, little bits or a lot, it all came together, it all added up.”
Together with a number of small events, a wildly popular samosa sale, a line dan-cing night, a burger and beer event at the Cowichan Bay Pub, a Mr. Mikes burger sale and a Hawaiian themed dance all added funds to the kitty. Silent auctions and raffles and an infusion in the form of Canadian Tire’s chocolate bar sales helped to increase the total.
Muscular Dystrophy Canada also chipped in with a few thousand dollars.
All told, it took five months to outfit Henry with his chair and van.
He aims now to have both his legs and his wheelchair in his transportation toolbox.
“It’s a big load off, just knowing that I can have some breathing room between being able to walk short distances and still being able to move as I can, yet still being able to, if things go bad, have a way to move around again,” he said.
While he drove a car with hand controls before, getting used to the van is taking some time, he admitted with a chuckle.
“I actually love it. It’s amazing,” he said. “There’s a lot of bells and whistles in it.”
The benefit of the van is it can carry the custom wheelchair which will enable him to keep chasing his goals.
While he’s going to school to be a teacher, he knows he can ultimately do whatever he wants with his newfound freedom.
“I’m still open to the idea of what I really want to do,” he said.
As for his mother, she’s still overwhelmed at the generosity of others.
“The fact that Blue Cross came through with the wheelchair was humungous and
the fact that the Australian contingent donated part of the money towards the van was huge, too. That really helped us to be able to afford this,” Tindall said. “People really went out of their way. Some people came to all of our events. Some people came to a few. It’s just amazing to be on the receiving end of so many people. It’s wonderful.”

$500K announced for Lake fi eld upgradeLEXI BAINAS CITIZEN
Lake Cowichan’s big Centennial Park, which has been sitting largely unused for some time waiting for an upgrade, got a $500,000 boost Tuesday.
John Duncan, minister of State and MP for Vancouver Island North, announced at a ceremony beside Centennial Hall and the Little League ball park Tuesday afternoon that Lake Cowichan is getting the cash from of Canada 150 Community Infrastructure fund.
The funding program celebrates Can-ada’s 150th birthday, which falls in 2017, and the money helps renovate, expand and rehabilitate existing infrastructure that provides community and cultural benefits for the public, he said.
Duncan also took the opportunity, while at Lake Cowichan, to announce seven more projects, making a grand total of $896,025 worth of grants, to help various groups in Cowichan Station, Nanaimo, Parksville, Port Alberni, Cherry Creek, Ahousaht and Ucluelet as well as Lake Cowichan.
“Community centres, parks, trails, and other public spaces contribute to the strength of our communities, and by help-ing to renew them we are ensuring that they remained useable for years to come while creating jobs and economic growth,” Duncan said.
The other Valley project saw the Cow-ichan Station Area Association receive $46,000 to renovate the exterior of their community centre, the Hub.
“Our government’s top priority is the economy. It remains focused on delivering
programs that have lasting and positive impacts on both small towns and big cit-ies,” Duncan said.
Facilities such as Centennial Park in Lake Cowichan are the foundation of com-munities, bringing families and residents together for recreational activities, he said.
“There is however room for improvement so I’m pleased to announce that our gov-ernment will invest $500,000 in upgrades to the park.”
The Town of Lake Cowichan will “make improvements to the existing sports facili-ties at Memorial Park by installing field lighting, pathways and fitness stations in
addition to new landscaping. They’ll also repair the dugouts, gravel and field materi-al, irrigation systems, nets and bleachers,” Duncan said adding, “I look forward to see-ing the result of this investment and the benefits that will surely come with it.”
Lake Cowichan Coun. Tim McGonigle, who acted as MC thanked Duncan for the funding, noting that the Lake was getting the largest grant by far of all the ones announced.
“It’s been a long time coming,” he said, pointing out that he himself is in his fifth council term waiting for it. “We look for-ward to the finished product.”
Mayor Ross Forrest, who’s in his third term, agreed.
“Isn’t this exciting?” he said. He thanked some members of Lake Cow-
ichan Minor Baseball for coming to the event at short notice.
“These players are going to be the real beneficiaries of the finished product down the line. They’re not going to have to go to Duncan when they are finished play-ing ball here [at the Little League park]. They’ll be able to continue to play here. It really is good news. Like Tim says this is a long time coming. Every year Minor Base-ball comes to council and asks for improve-ments on the field and we all know about the drainage issue down below.
“We had been sinking money into it but we were beating a dead horse there. So we’ve consistently said that we had to wait until we got additional funding and then we would step forward with funding of our own to make a field that we’ll all be very proud of again,” Forrest said. “We’re very excited for this opportunity. It’s going to be great for the community, to enhance it back to the standard we deserve here.”
He thanked Duncan for the federal gov-ernment’s decision to fund the Centennial Park upgrades.
“I can’t wait for the finished product. It will probably be about two years in the works but that’s fine. It will be well worth the wait and I know these guys will all be excited to play on it. I also want to thank our administrator and staff for putting together an application that was obvious-ly successful. We’ve tried hard for a long time and a lot of work went into it,” For-rest said.

Municipality warning of algae bloom in Somenos Lake
Keep your pets away from Somenos Lake. Municipality of North Cowichan staff
say a blue-green algae bloom is visible at Somenos Lake near the Drinkwater Road fishing dock.
“Lake visitors are advised to avoid areas near the visible blue-green sheen, which appears as surface scum on the lake,” said Ernie Mansueti, the municipality’s Parks and Recreation director. “Pet owners are advised to keep animals on a leash and to prevent them from drinking or swimming in the lake.”
Cowichan Lake suffered a non-toxic algae bloom in May.
Tree on lines knocks out power to over 2,000 hydro customers
A tree down across wires was to blame for a hydro outage affecting 2,145 custom-ers in the Valley last Friday morning. The juice stopped flowing just after 6:30 a.m.
Most customers north of Indian Road, west of Meadow Park Road and east of North Road were affected for two hours or less. Later that evening, at about 7:50 p.m. birds coming into contact with wires were to blame for a small outage in the 4300-block of Neel Road. Power was restored to the less than five homes involved by 9:20 p.m.

Harper economics doesn’t work
It’s about how we handle money. Everyone knows that if your cash flow is less (i.e. taxes), to balance your budget you cut your expenses.
The record of the Harper school of economics worries me. They inherited a thriving economy with a $12-15 billion surplus. First they cut taxes by that $12-15 billion and went into a deficit which continued for the next eight years. Harper cut income before he cut expenses, leaving Canada with an addi-tional $150 billion debt.
Harper then cut Canada’s fed-eral corporation tax to 15 per cent; the U.S. is 35 per cent. U.S. corporations pay 10 per cent tax on off-shore profits, Canadians pay zero. The se tax cuts were to create jobs, yet we still have a shrinking manufacturing econ-omy and the largest trade deficit in Canadian history. Other tax breaks that benefit 15 per cent of high-income earners have also failed to boost the economy as unemployment increased.
Consequently, our civil service has been cut to the point where they can no longer adequately serve the public.
Then came cuts to the Coast Guard, the RCMP and the military. The military cannot replace needed ships or planes, let alone look after our Afghan-istan veterans. We haven’t enough money to establish a proper defence of the Arctic or even a single all-weather ice breaker, absolutely necessary for Arctic defence.
Harper economics is about cutting income before cutting expenses, always resulting in deficit financing. Harper eco-nomics doesn’t work.

City of Duncan’s parking bylaw unfriendly
Did you know that the City of Duncan has a new parking bylaw?
I didn’t either until I got a parking ticket. I had stopped in downtown Duncan on a short errand late one morning and was back again later in the afternoon, parking in a different space.
According to a new bylaw, once you are noted to be in the down-town, if you leave you cannot come back for at least 10 hours.
That’s right — you cannot come into downtown Duncan on business more than once a day.
Bylaw No. 3101.01, 2014, adopt-ed on Dec. 22, 2014 states that in any city block controlled by a
parking limit, a vehicle cannot return to the same block within a 10-hour time period after the expiration of the original per-mitted time.
They define city block as being north of Government Street, south of and including Ingram Street, east of Boundary Street and west of and including Can-ada Avenue and the train station parking lot. That’s a very large block.
This bylaw was not publicized and there are no signs to warn people. Most of the people who come to downtown Duncan to shop don’t even live in the one square mile of the city. Cer-tainly people from Chemainus or Lake Cowichan won’t know about Duncan’s bylaws. It needs to be posted.
The bylaw enforcement officer kindly said this time he would forgive the fine, but if it ever happens again then I will have to pay.
I can guarantee it won’t hap-pen again because I will no long-er shop or dine or bring visitors to downtown Duncan.
There are many friendlier places in the Cowichan Valley to take my business and my guests where I don’t have to guess at the parking bylaws.

Inflexible bureaucracies strike again.
This time at the expense of a pair of Canadian badminton players.
Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng made news during the Pan Am Games, but not the way they had hoped.
The pair were favoured to win the gold medal in their sport at the Games, but were disquali-fied before they ever set foot on the court.
It wasn’t for bad behaviour or doping or anything nefarious.
It wasn’t even for anything they themselves had done.
Badminton Canada, their sport’s governing body, had mis-takenly entered them in another tournament scheduled for the same time period as the Pan Am Games.
When players are signed up for two tournaments that are tak-ing place at the same time they are automatically disqualified from both under a rule of the Badminton World Federation.
So the athletes were denied the opportunity to stand on the top of the podium in their home country.
But things have just snow-balled from there, going from
bad to worse. Now that one error could cost Liu and Ng their chance to compete at next year’s Olympic Games.
Not only did the pair lose out on earning the valuable qualify-ing points that they would most likely have come away from the Pan Am Games with, a major sponsor has pulled out because of it.
This leaves the duo $40,000 short — an amount that means they’re now crowd funding to try to scrape together enough money to attend their next 18 tournaments to garner the points they need for Olympic
qualification. All for the want of a horse shoe nail, as the saying goes.
It seems crazy that an admin-istrative error could cost these athletes a trip to the Olympics — no doubt a lifelong dream.
All sense of fairness rebels against this kind of outcome.
But here’s the real rub.More and more of our systems
seem to be trending in the direc-tion of one-size-fits-all, iron fist, no appeal, zero tolerance.
It’s simplistic, and appeals to the age of the soundbite.
But our world and ourselves as human beings are complex and
individual.What zero tolerance means is
zero tolerance for mistakes.But we are flesh and blood and
bone and emotion and mistakes come with the territory.
This attempt to makes things fair by treating everyone and everything and every situation the same denies reality and has the opposite effect from what was intended.
Exceptions are messy and human and sometimes they are the best possible outcome.
Exercising judgement can be scary and imperfect. But it’s bet-ter than the alternative.

Transit inaction show contempt for public
BC Transit and the CVRD has once again shown open contempt for the vocal public. You people have lost sight of the fact that you are account-able to the public who is pay-ing your salary.
Your credibility has just tak-en another major hit with your “No Change Policy”. Mr. Hen-ry Landry and Mr. Rick Lobb collected 350 signatures in favor of restoring the previous #7 route which you, in your infinite wisdom, dismissed.
This is no different from how you ignored my petition regarding route #8 and #9 where 90 per cent of respon-dents where opposed to that change implemented in Octo-ber 2014.
I would like to know who in their right mind wants “more weekend trip times/frequen-cies” on these two routes? The meager ridership suggests the exact opposite.
The concept of revenue neu-tral has come up several times in the past. If the transit sys-tem was actually revenue neu-tral, then there would be no need for a transit tax increase as we just experienced in our 2015 tax bills.
In my opinion, the reason for the “No Change Policy” as demonstrated by BC Transit and the CVRD is for purely selfish reason. If any changes as suggested by the general public were implemented, that will lead to more changes and then the flood gates will open and the transit empire will crumble.
A leaner and totally func-tioning transit system will emerge saving huge amounts of public funds. Large buses, “chauffeur driven limos cater-ing to a few at the expense of all” as I call them, should not be cruising our streets hoping to find a passenger.
That is exactly what is going on.
So it all boils down to turf protection.
Solution: replace large underutilized buses on many routes with fuel efficient mini vans.

Septic fi elds don’t make dumping okay
In response to Mr. Bracken-bury’s letter and comments re: Shawnigan Lake septic and the Shawnigan Residents Association, nobody denies that some septic fields leak, but that is in the purview of health agencies.
The association is strictly volunteer, with no legal pow-ers. Its budget comes entirely from its members. Campaigns cost money.
As to the SRA feeling they are more qualified than both the Ministry of the Environ-ment, and the Appeal Board, that is not so. When the association had questions, it hired professional scientists and used contributed profes-sional engineers’ opinions, all of which indicated a serious problem with the SIA plan and chosen dumping site. Ours, and other lawyers, agree that the Appeal Board was wrong which is why the SRA launched a judicial appeal.
The association would be happy to “hound” residents about their septic fields, and would be pleased to use Mr. Brackenbury’s contribution to the association to help pay for that campaign.

Cyclists must know the rules of the road
Bicyclists of the Valley unite! I recently began rid-ing a bicycle in the Valley. I cannot believe the number of bicyclists that do not care and/or know the rules of the road. Get OFF the sidewalks and ride on the right-hand side of the road and/or use the bicycle lanes.
Do not ride abreast. If your children are too
young to know the rules of the road they should ride in a safer environment.
People in vehicles take note. A bicycle has as much right to be on the road as an automobile.
Lets all share our roadways.

Chairs, hospitality made big diff erence
Kudos to St. John’s Anglican, First and Jubilee, who not only provided chairs for those watching the excellent Saturday parade, but also ice cold water, lemonade, and bathroom facili-ties in their church hall.
People showed their apprecia-tion by returning all the chairs after the parade finished.

Cowichan Tribes members were celebrating Tuesday, July 28 as the Trestle and Wil-son Road areas finally get clean drinking water after more than a decade of boil water advisories.
It’s a project 35 years in the making and Chief Chip Sey-mour told a big crowd at the Trestle Road chlorination sta-tion that he’s personally known of the need since the 1980s.
He explained that when he first began working for Cowic-han Tribes he saw that the area “had concrete tanks that people walked to to get their water.”
Although it’s taken a long time, Seymour said, “I look on this as a big success.”
He thanked all the govern-ments, agencies and companies involved and then praised the area residents for their patience in waiting so long.
A ribbon cutting featured rep-resentatives from several of the governments involved.
Years of collaboration by Cowichan Tribes, Chatwin Engineering, the City of Duncan, the Municipality of North Cowichan, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Develop-ment Canada and many others have put an end to the boil water advisories by connecting to Duncan’s water system, installing a chlorination build-ing, booster pump and 1,400 metres of water lines.
It’s one of seven communities in Cowichan Tribes that have been on boil-water advisories for more than 10 years, Sey-mour said.
Vancouver Island North MP and Minister of State John Duncan praised the degree of collaboration he saw in the project.
“Clean water is vital to a com-munity’s well being. Improving water infrastructure for First Nations is a priority for our government,” he said.
A clean water supply benefits the community, Duncan said, pointing out that not only does it increase the possibility of economic development, it also improves such down-to-earth necessities as fire protection.
Duncan Mayor Phil Kent said his municipality only played a minor part in the project but he was personally delighted to see it completed.
Access to clean drinking water should be a right, he said, adding, “it really shouldn’t have taken this much time,” espe-cially since the area had such “sweet water” to offer.
Cowichan Tribes sustainable housing manager Fred Bosma said, “this is the beginning of
a wave of projects. More arecoming.”
He also pointed out thatalthough everyone at the event was celebrating clean drinkingwater, a companion sewer ser-vice was also being completed.
There had been “many failedseptic systems” that had had a serious impact on quality oflife, he said.
“We’re hoping the success wesee today is a pattern we can take for new projects.”
Some other speakers men-tioned their happiness at see-ing a long ordeal finally overas residents nearby had been unable even to brush their teeth with their tap waterwhile others were looking for-ward to better health for thefamilies nearby and still othersoffered thanks that some Tribesmembers had actually beenemployed on the project.
Bosma also praised some ofthe nearby property ownerswho “gave up large tracts” oftheir land so the project couldbe completed.

One of the ways that antibiotics like penicillin kill bacteria is by attacking the cell wall of the infecting organism eliminating its ability to divide and multiply. The cell walls are like an outer skin that holds
the bacteria together. Because our human cells don’t have cell walls, they aren’t affected by the antibiotic.
If you have diabetes, pay particular attention to your teeth and gums. If your diabetes is not controlled well, your saliva may contain more sugar which is food for bacteria that form that sticky film called plaque. Keep your blood sugar in check. Floss your teeth at least once daily and brush often with a soft toothbrush.
Levothyroxine is one of the top-ten prescribed drugs in Canada. It replaces what your own thyroid is not producing. The best time to take it is one hour before breakfast but this is sometimes difficult to do all the time. They key is to be consistent and take it the same time whatever that may be. Since thyroid levels are based on blood tests, the dose can be changed according to suit how you take it.
Poison Ivy: Even though the rash is not contagious, it can look terrible and be quite uncomfortable. Having had poison ivy before does not confer immunity. Protect yourself by wearing protective clothing like gloves, long sleeved shirts and long pants. If you do get exposed to it, wash it off with soap and water right away.
We have products to soothe poison ivy rashes. Talk to us.

“It’s a lot of slash on the ground, it’s tough going so he doesn’t want to release a num-ber until he hits it,” Drysdale said. “It’s just gruelling work, there’s no doubt about it. This type of fire, always when you’re in slash, the ground crews are just working so hard. It’s just a hard slog for them to get through this.”
Lake Cowichan and Sahtlam Firefighters were called out to a reports of brush fire about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Initial 9-1-1 calls had dispatch-ers and local crews wondering if there were actually two fires burning. but investigation revealed the fire was just large enough to be seen from two dif-ferent communities.
Cowichan Valley volunteer firefighters quickly realized what they were dealing with, and the call went out to the BC Wildfire Service.
Within an hour aircraft were circling overhead.
Firefighters from the BC Wild-fire Service worked through the night to combat the blaze which is about 10 kilometres east of Lake Cowichan.
The first resources dispatched included two initial attack crews of three firefighters each, air tankers— including the Martin Mars — two BC Wildfire Service response offi-cers, 10 contract fire fighters, two medium helicopters, and two water tenders, Drysdale confirmed.
An industry representative and industry firefighters were also on scene and the land-owner also brought in private crews.
Tuesday night the Martin Mars water bomber made a total of six drops on the fire. According to Coulson Flying Tankers, the aircraft averaged drops of 21,600 litres for a total of 130,000 litres in about an hour and a half’s worth of work.
“The turn times averaged 15 minutes per drop which was excellent with some eight minute drop cycles,” said the company’s update. “As there were other aircraft working on the fire we had to allow them the time to get clear prior to each drop. It was an example of great teamwork, working in tandem with the other aircraft.”
A BC Wildfire Service unit crew — a group of 20 firefight-ers trained for ground work — was brought in on Wednesday.
The fire grew from four to 10 to 16 hectares over the course of three days. By Wednesday after-noon, however, the Coastal Fire Centre confirmed the blaze was 20 per cent contained.
“It’s burning up the slope but
they have a containment line on the bottom,” Drysdale said.
Manpower was increased to 61 on the ground Wednesday and then upwards of 75 firefighters by Thursday.
Heavy machinery and more tenders were also called for.
Air support remained steady. “It’s quite the airshow I’ve
heard,” Drysdale noted. Five helicopters of varied sizes were doing most of the work from the air, filling their buckets at nearby lakes.
Air tankers are on standby but are not in the air after Tues-day, Drysdale explained.
“When they have crews on the ground they don’t want to use air tankers because it means the ground crews have to pull back,” she said.
“There have been no road closures, despite the rumour and speculation that’s been going around,” Drysdale said. “The fire is not threatening homes at this time.”
No evacuation notices have been issued.

Cowichan Aquatic Centre expanding fi tness servicesSARAH SIMPSON CITIZEN
Those looking for more than just a quick gym orientation will soon benefit from enhanced fitness servi-
ces at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. Patrons spoke, North Cowichan
council has listened and while per-sonal training will be available at some point in the future, it won’t
be the type aimed at preparing athletes for triathlons or body building competitions. That’ll be left to the private gyms.
In 2009 council banned person-al training at the facility after a significant outcry from pri-vate gym owners who were dis-pleased the municipality was creating competition for them during such tough economic times.
Times have changed, how-ever, and there are more private gyms in the Valley now than back then, but council main-tains the goal remains to not compete with the private gyms.
“I really don’t think we as a municipality should be in the business of competing with the private sector that’s supplying and providing this type of ser-vice,” Coun. Al Siebring said. After further discussion with staff, he and other councillors learned the services would still leave plenty of room for the niche gyms to thrive.
Coun. Kate Marsh was on board.
“There are already appar-ently outside trainers going in and not saying anything
and they’re probably charging their clients and they’re using our equipment. I think other communities realize this is an important thing to offer and I think we should offer it, too.”
But what exactly will be offered is still fuzzy. North Cow-ichan’s Parks and Recreation Director Ernie Mansueti tried to explain.
“What we’re really trying to
do here is introduce people to recreation. We don’t want to train people to go in triathlons, that’s not what this is about,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is to be able to get peoplegoing in the right direction when they ask the basic ques-tions. I think what we’re really trying to do here is keep it as introductory as we can.”
He added it has the potentialto benefit the private gyms as beginners improve and wantto seek enhanced trainingelsewhere.
“We’ll get them going towhere they’ll want to go to domore stuff,” he said.
Mansueti said 12 out of the13 similar community facili-ties elsewhere on the Islandprovide personal training ser-vices — Comox does not butonly because it doesn’t have thephysical space.
“We’re the only one on theIsland that doesn’t provide this service for our patrons,” he said.
Council will debate the levelof services offered and the userfees attached to those at a later date.
Patrons will soon benefit from enhanced services at the Aquatic Centre gym. [CITIZEN FILE]

Did you know?According to the Mining Association of British Columbia, the number of people working in B.C.’s mining industry in 2014 was 9,954.Vancouver is the world’s leading centre of expertise for mineral exploration. Some 1,200 exploration companies are located in British Columbia, most in the greater Vancouver area.Coal accounted for 41 per cent of the total volume handled at the Port of Vancouver in 2013, which moves shipments to China, Japan and other Asian markets.
Coroner’s jury came down easy on popular mine engineerHis helper — irony
of ironies — was the very F. Meyer who was supposed to have accompanied Hunter, and whose place poor Gregor had taken.
As if cave-ins, explosions, rock falls and
poison gas weren’t enough, other hazards to life and limb awaited Vancouver Island’s coal miners of old.
When Andrew Hunter and George Gregor stepped into the cage of Nanaimo’s Douglas Pit, in May 1876, the last thing they expected was for engineer William Reid to forget to put the elevator in gear.
Just the men’s weight was sufficient to start the cage downward.
Unable even to slow their descent, Reid shouted a warn-ing — as the luckless miners plummeted 300 feet straight down, where only two feet of water broke their fall.
In one of those unaccount-able vagaries of fate, Hunter survived with no more injury that a severe shaking up and a broken ankle. When poor Gregor, 35, and formerly of Pennsylvania, was brought to the surface he was, as a news-paper reporter succinctly put it, stone dead. His only appar-ent injury was a wound over one eye.
Not surprisingly, engin-eer Reid was reported to be “greatly exercised” over his role in the tragedy, his first accident in 14 years of operat-ing the hoist. Those who knew him said that Reid was “the steadiest and safest engineer in the country,” to the point of becoming a “proverb among the miners”.
Edward G. Prior, then an
employee of the Vancouver Coal Co. a future mines inspector and a future provincial premier, testified at the inquest that he’d ordered Hunt-er and F. Meyer to undertake some repair work in the mine, but Meyer had
been unavailable. Hence the luckless Gregor being sent in his place and, as it happened, to his death.
In fact, Prior had been about to enter the cage, too, but had been called away.
Minutes later, he hurried back upon being informed of the accident. Engineer Reid was crying and, putting his arms about Prior, said, “Oh, Mr. Prior, it is all my fault.”
“Nothing of the sort, Willie, it will be all right,” Prior said he replied, and allowed Reid to go home.
Questioned as to operating procedures, Prior reluctantly conceded that the accident wouldn’t have occurred if the elevator had been in gear rather than in neutral which meant that there was nothing really holding the cage in position once the men stepped into it.
Henry Bolton, miner, told how he’d volunteered to help bring the injured men out. His helper — irony of ironies — was the very F. Meyer who was supposed to have accompanied Hunter, and whose place poor Gregor had taken.
Gregor suffered no broken bones in the fall, his death having been caused by a punc-ture wound in the forehead which had penetrated the brain.
Jury foreman William Fle-wit, upon asking if it was not
customary in the Old Coun-try for hoist engines to have brakes, was informed that the Douglas Pit’s machinery had been installed just as it had arrived from its Scottish build-ers — without brakes.
A petition signed by almost 200 VCC employees “setting forth in strong terms” the con-fidence they had in engineer William Reid was presented to the jury.
Those six worthies, after sev-eral hours’ deliberation, ruled that George W. Gregor met his death through “an accident which...would probably have not occurred had the neces-sary appliance of a break [sic] to the drum...been supplied by the owners of the mine”.
There you have it: the mine’s owners were at fault for not hav-ing fitted the hoist engine with a brake.
Not a word about engineer Reid’s starring role in the tragic affair!

Thank you for your Feedback!On behalf of the CVRD and the Central Sector Liquid Waste Management Plan amendment team, I would like to thank the community for their input.
The CVRD, in partnership with Cowichan Tribes, Municipality of North Cowichan and City of Duncan is currently pursuing an amendment that would move the existing treated sewage outfall from its current location in the Cowichan River to a new marine location in Satellite Channel.
Over the last six months, stakeholders, community groups and the general public have contributed their valuable time to be part of the conversation. This input helped to guide where further technical study was needed and to identify a preferred option for moving forward with relocating the outfall.
A final report on the consultation process, as well as a copy of the completed Environmental Impact Study, is available on the project website at www.cvrd.bc.ca/lwmp.
The CVRD will continue working with Cowichan Tribes on final steps for completing the amendment, and take the steps needed to relocate the outfall. Thank you again to the community for participating in this important initiative.
Sincerely,Jon LefebureCVRD Board Chair

Volunteers relax after a recent seed-gathering session on Maple Mountain, where they collected nearly two pounds of seeds from seven varieties of native grasses. [PHOTO COURTESY OF NATURE CONSERVANCY OF CANADA]
Fighting invaders with seedsALISA GORDANEER SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
Invasive plants like Scotch broom and Himalay-an blackberry are difficult to control, and when
they take over an area, they pose a threat to more delicate and rare native plant species.
That’s why Katy Fulton wants to fight these invaders — not just by organizing efforts to pull out the invasive plants, but by gathering native plant seeds to help those species survive.
Fulton, who works for the Nature Conservancy of Canada as its west coast coordinator of stew-ardship, knows how persistent blackberry and broom plants can be. But she’s even more persis-tent in her efforts to help restore natural areas in the Cowichan Valley.
She explains that when a native plant popula-tion is struggling, invasive plants like blackberry and broom can easily take over an area. But if the native plants are healthy, it’s harder for invasives to put down roots or take hold.
So this month, Fulton is rounding up a team of volunteers to collect seeds from native plants and grasses, which can be propagated at the plant nursery at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, and re-introduced to fight invasives in areas like nearby Maple Mountain.
See LOCAL PLANTS, Page 15

The idea is to introduce the new native plants, like native grasses and death camas, by both planting them and sprink-ling seeds in areas that have been cleared, either by volunteers or through controlled burns. This gives the native species a fighting chance against invasives, which in turn helps the ecosystem recover from the invaders.
“It increases our chances of not having to deal with invasives in the future,” said Fulton.
Volunteers are invited to join the seed
collection efforts on Thursday, July 30, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
The group will meet at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, on the back side at 1241 Maple Bay Rd. From there, they’ll car-pool to the seed collection sites on Maple Mountain.
Volunteers are advised to bring water, snacks and weather-appropriate clothing — and cameras to catch the view from the top. Gloves will be provided.
For more information, email Katy Fulton at [email protected], or visit the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s web-site at www.natureconservancy.ca

JULIE ROSENTHAL SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
Over 90 life-sized, hand-made characters gave a humorous look at “how the past has cre-ated the present” during Mill Bay’s Good Old Daze Scare-crow Festival, which ran from July 6-17.
In only its third year and dou-bling in size from 45 figures to over 90, the Mill Bay/Malahat
Historical Society is literally making history.
Three years ago this event attracted 700-plus votes from the public for their favourite scarecrow figure.
This year, nearly 3,000 votes were cast from the visiting public.
An enthusiastic crowd of locals and tourists attended the wrap-up activities, awards cere-monies and barbecue and it was
evident from their participation that they would like this event to continue next year.
A special thanks goes to all the participants, sponsors and the voting public for helping put Mill Bay on the map.
Anyone who missed seeing these figures can see photos at www.MillBayMalahatHistory.com or be sure to come out next year when the Good Old Daze are here again.

FINAL WEEKEND!

COFFEE Time
• NDP Finance critic Nathan Cullen and NDP candidates Sheila Malcolmson (Nanaimo-Ladys-mith) and Alistair MacGregor (Cowichan-Mala-hat-Langford) laid out Tom Mulcair’s plan to create quality jobs on Vancouver Island while protecting the environment in Duncan on Tues-day afternoon.
“On Vancouver Island and the coastal region, we’ve lost 68 forestry mills and 6,800 wood and forestry jobs between 2001 and 2013,” said Cul-len. “That’s why the NDP has a plan to create good jobs by kick starting manufacturing, help-ing small businesses, investing in renewable energy and investing in strong community infrastructure.”
“An NDP government will create an innovation tax credit to encourage investment in machin-ery and equipment used by manufacturers and sawmills,” said Malcolmson. “We’re committed to reducing raw log exports. The NDP will work to develop our resources here at home, in our local communities — and this will create jobs.”
“Over 200,000 more Canadians are out of a job now than before the 2008 recession — a total of 1.3 million unemployed,” said MacGregor. “That’s why Tom Mulcair’s NDP will also cut the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent to provide immediate relief. This concrete meas-ure will support growth, create jobs and help middle-class families on Vancouver Island get ahead.”
• The Telus Community Action Team hasdonated $750 to the Cowichan Intercultural Soci-ety’s Multicultural Leadership Group.
The Multicultural Leadership Group began in 2008 as a way for youth to volunteer at the North American Indigenous Games. Since then, it has continued with the tradition of volunteering, community building, and leadership initiatives. Each week, youth and adults of all ages, cul-tures, faiths and identities join together to learn leadership skills and contribute to the commun-ity. It is a way for youth to connect with diverse and intergenerational community members to build community connections, mentorship opportunities, and partnerships with commun-ity-based projects hosted by other non-profit organizations in the community. It’s one of the Intercultural Society’s 18 community service programs.
“When I first started going [to the Leadership Group], it was a big change,” said one youth par-ticipant. “I went from being a one-person self to being part of group discussions and activities. It was like a culture shock experience. A few years in, I find myself being more involved with day to day activities. I am now part of the Youth Care-givers Society and I am now more involved with school activities, such as school presentations. This has changed me as a person. [When my picture] got in the paper in an article about the Multicultural Leadership Group I felt proud and realized that I am not only making a difference in myself, I’m making a difference in my com-munity, and I’m being recognized for it.”
The federal NDP’s Finance critic, Nathan Cullen, was in Duncan last week, meeting with local candidates and laying out the party’s jobs plan. [SUBMITTED]

Berber Carpet - We have many beautiful carpets directly from Morocco.These hand made carpets are directly from the Berber tribes in the Sahara of southern Morocco. All the designs are original and the carpet colours are natural, not chemical or synthetic. The carpets are
weaved by the women of the tribes. The Berbers lived in North Africa long before the arrival of the Arabs, and their culture probably dates back more than 4,000 years.The Berber carpet gets its name from the Berber people of north western Africa. The Berber
community typically uses this variety of fabric, normally made from wool or camel fur to cover fl oors and to wear as cloaks. Although most of the Berber people live in desert or semi-desert areas, the nights are often extremely cold. Thus, the Berber caret helps to protect against such cold.
Belly Dancing & Costumes - Many experts say belly dancing is the oldest form of dance, having roots in all ancient cultures from the orient to India to the mid-East. Probably the greatest misconception about belly dancing is that it is intended to entertain men.Thoughtout history, this ritualized expression has usually been performed for other women, generally during fertility rites or parties preparing a young woman for marriage. In most cases, the presence of men is not permitted.
Belly dancing is natural to a woman’s bone and muscle structure with movements emanating from the torso rather than in the legs and feet. The dance often focuses upon isolating diff erent parts of the body, moving them independently in sensuous patterns, weaving together the entire feminine form. Belly dancing is generally performed barefoot, thought by many to emphasize the intimate physical connection between the dancer, her expression, and Mother Earth.

Cowichan Valley Citizen | Friday, July 31, 2015 29
On July 13th 2015, at 300am at Victoria Hospice, I lost my best friend and soul mate of 27 years to cancer.
Ron fought long and hard but at the end the cancer won.
Ron McBride was born on Jan 26th 1940 in Belleville, ON to Mary and Clinton McBride, both deceased. He is survived by his two Sons, Jay Edwin McBride(Annemarie) their two children Jylz and Jet, Marty Joseph McBride(Erica) and daughter Stella, his wife Natalie, her two daughters Brigitte and Christina.
Ron graduated from Queens University (BA, BPHE) and from Niagara University , (MSc.) He was an Educator, Hospital Director and Business Owner in Ontario.
His great passion was sailing, tennis and hiking and being outdoors in nature. His greatest joy was visiting his grand children in Ontario.
In 2006 Ron and Natalie retired to the West Coast to a slower paced life, lived on Salt Spring Island for six years and then moved to Chemainus on Vancouver Island. These were happy times for both of them. They made long lasting friends both on Salt Spring Island and in Chemainus. He will be sorely missed.
A private ceremony will be held in Belleville, Ontario for Ron’s interment.
Do not stand at my grave and cryI am not there, I do not sleepI am a thousand winds that blowI am the ripple on the oceanI am the sunlight on a beautiful dayI am the gentle autumn rainI am the soft star that shines at nightI am not there....I did not die
Ron McBrideJanuary 26th, 1940 - July 13th, 2015
Born in Regina, Sask. on Nov. 30, 1921, Arnold T. Hepton (“Hep”) passed away on Friday, July 24, 2015 at Cowichan District Hospital with his wife Jill by his side. Hep is predeceased by his fi rst wife Phyllis (Conn) and his son William. He is survived by his daughter “Deide” (Bill); his grandson “JB” (Jennie); Jill's sons Michael (Ellen & Sebastian) and Christopher (Michelle & Ryder). Hep will be very much missed.
Educated in Langenburg, Sask. and later at St. John’s College, Winnipeg, Man., Hep joined the RCN as a signalman on the Noranda for convoy duty on the North Atlantic run. When the need for fi ghter pilots became dire, Hep took his fl ying training at RCAF Goderich and RCAF Aylmer, Ont. He was loaned to the British Navy as part of its Fleet Air Arm. With Squadron 896, he was aboard HMS Phoenix (Bitter Lakes, Egypt), HMS Assagai (Durban, S.A.), HMS Malagas (Cape Town for rocket training), HMS Empress (Hellcat Squadron 896), HMS Emperor, HMS Ameer, HMS Tambaram and the HMS Kaluga (Cochin). Hep fl ew the following service aircraft during the war: Tiger Moth, Harvard, Miles Master, Wildcat IV & V, and the Hellcat I & II. At the end of WWII, Hep and his wife Phyllis moved to Vancouver in 1947 where they raised their 2 children while Hep worked in the printing and graphics business.
He married Jill in 1986, retired in 1992, and moved to Duncan, Vancouver Island in 1993. Hep was very involved in the Vancouver Rotary Club as well as the Rotary Club of Duncan, and the Royal Naval Association. A “wake” will be announced at a later date.
Th e family request no cards or fl owers. Please use that money to donate to your favourite charity, the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation or the BCSPCA.

She moved to Burnaby in 2003 where again her caring personality endeared her to all who knew her.
She passed away peacefully on July 6, 2015 at Burnaby aft er a very short but courageous battle with cancer. She will always be remembered for her: amazing strength, hard work ethic, beautiful smile, fun loving personality, genuine and infi nite love for all family and friends, positive outlook, and her strong faith in God.
She is predeceased by her parents Gurbax Singh and Surjit Kaur Dosanjh, and her brother. She is survived by her husband, her son and two daughters and their respective spouses, three grandchildren, and her sister and brother. Th ank you to all those who have supported the family during this diffi cult time.
Mom, you will always remain in our hearts.

Jordan
1980~2015It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jason Ryan Jordan. Jason was born on March 17, 1980 and he was taken from us long before his time. He was a dedicated and loving husband and father. He was the kindest, most compassionate, sweet person you could meet and he had the biggest heart. He raised rabbits and chickens and enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family. Left behind are his common-law wife Cary Ann (Jackson) and his two sons; Jared and Jackson Jordan, his mother Marilyn Mitchell (Doug Mitchell), his father Joe Jordan (Carol Jordan), his sister Melinda Jordan (Rob Paddle), his brother Jamie Jordan (Lesley Jordan), his nieces and nephews, Kurtis and Kristin Paddle and many more aunts, uncles and cousins. Family was very important to Jason, he was much loved and he will be missed forever.The family will be having a quiet intimate get together and would like to be given some time to mourn.In lieu of flowers or gifts, Jason’s Mom Marilyn Mitchell is setting up trust funds for his 2 boys.
~ SZALAI, MARY MARGARET ~
Mary passed away peacefully at Cairnsmore Place in Duncan, BC on July 26, 2015. She was born on May 2, 1927 in Medicine Hat, AB and is survived by her husband Arthur; her sons Steven, Dennis and Tim and her grandson Aaron. She is also survived by her sisters Laura Hobbs and Jacquie Stiff from Medicine Hat as well as many extended family and friends.
Mary and Arthur loved to camp and travel across Canada and made many friends during their adventures. They were known to be the center of attention at the campgrounds.
Mary will be remembered as very caring, giving and sometimes feisty. When Arthur was away for work Mary en-sured her children were taught everything they needed to know to become adults.

SHARYL DENICE PATTERSONFEBRUARY 11, 1959 ~JULY 27, 2015
It is with heart-wrenching sadness that we announce the passing of Sharyl. She leaves her soulmate and best friendJim; mother Dianne (Dr. Steve) Kleinman; daughter Janelle (Mike) and grandsons Graison, Jayden and Nolan; son Nick (Carly) and grandsons Rylan, Braeden and Jessie; son Brad (Fiji) and granddaughter Isabel; son Mat; brothers Steven (Debbie), Kevin (Debbie) and Wade (Monica); mother-in-law Ina Patterson; sister-in-law and brothers-in-law; and numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and friends.
With her family by her side Sharyl was taken from us far too soon, but brave and determined she fought a hard battle with courage, grace and dignity.
Sharyl was born in Revelstoke, raising her family in Shawnigan Lake which is where she met and married the man of her dreams. For the last 14 years Sharyl and Jim have been insepera-ble, sharing everything in life together.
Sharyl loved her family and friends. Spending time with them was what she enjoyed most - times spent at the cabin on the Cowichan River, and packing up the camper and the dogs to head out on hunting, fishing and ATV’ing adventures with Jim! Her bright and cheerful demeanor and kindness to everyone set the tone for family get-togethers and we will all hold those treasured memories dear.
In addition to her love for Jim and her family, Sharyl had the ultimate soft spot for dogs. She had many beloved furry family members and bred English Springer Spaniels for 35 years. She also shared her love of dogs with other families through her work for the past 13 years operating McMutt’s Dog Grooming.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr.Ron Pukey , Dr Klopper, Dr Masuta and all of the palliative health care team for their care and compassion - lifting Sharyl’s spirits, giving her the gift of hope and sharing with her the value of enjoying every day to the fullest.
In her memory - let’s all take a page from Sharyl’s book and be reminded to be kind to one another.
A Celebration of Sharyl’s Life will be held at the Mill Bay Community Centre (beside Kerry Park Recreation Centre) on August 8th, 2015 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Canadian Red Cross which provided excellent support to our family over the past year.
“Let’s Just Have Fun”.
Warren began his earthly journey on November 18, 1948 and ended it sud-denly July 17, 2015.
He leaves behind his beloved wife Carolyn, sister Wendy and brother-in-law Peter, Uncle John, niece Kirsten (Igor). Nephews Ryan (Sarah), Paul (Johanna) David (Brooke), great nieces and nephews and Sneakers.
I want to thank all our friends and strangers that came to my aide that night and are continuing with family to guide and help me through this journey.
Love and Gratitude, CarolynWarren’s life will be shared and celebrated with a Memorialgathering at a later date.

Russell, Ian Johnstone1937-2015
Ian died peacefully at home in Cobble Hill on July 25. Born and raised in Red Deer, Ian was predeceased by his parents John (“Jack”) and Gilda Russell and sister Moyra. He is survived by his loving wife Cathy Campbell and his daughter Patricia Russell (William Ward) of Atlanta, Georgia, of whom he was so proud. He is also loved and missed by his Parsons cousins in Alberta, the Campbell family and many close friends in BC, Alberta and Mexico.
An avid skier, hiker and traveller, Ian also enjoyed a fine wine or a smooth, well-aged tequila and asked that friends raise a glass in his memory. Special thanks to Dr. Jackson, Drs. Duta and Nielsen, the commu-nity home care nurses and respite care staff for your compassionate and incomparable support. Flowers gratefully declined. No service by request.
Soar with the eagles, Ian, and safe travels.

They may have done it the hard way, but the bantam AAA Cowic-han Valley Mustangs are heading to the provincial championships.
“We snuck into the tourna-ment,” assistant coach Tod LeSer-gent said.
To get into provincials, the Mus-tangs had to be one of the top two at an eight-team, double-elimina-tion wildcard tournament, which culminated with a thrilling game against the Nanaimo Pirates this past Monday.
The Mustangs put themselves in a tough spot right off the hop by losing their tournament open-er 4-2 to host Aldergrove.
“To get that first loss in a double knockout is pretty tough, but we came back all the way through the back door,” head coach Lorne LaFleur said.
The Mustangs kept their hopes alive by beating Vernon 4-2 in the next game behind the pitching of Billy Ramwell.
“We started hitting the ball,” LaFleur said. “In our first game, we weren’t bad either, but their pitcher threw a really good game against us.”
Things kept rolling along as the Mustangs went on to defeat Richmond 13-4 as Brady Radcliffe pitched a complete game.
Because of the double-knock-out format, Cowichan ended up facing Aldergrove again, in a game both teams were desperate to win. No one scored through the first seven innings, so it went to extras. Radcliffe led off the top of the eighth with a double, and Cam LeSergent laid down a bunt to get him home. The next three
batters went out, and Aldergrove had their chance to hit. Gavin Pringle, who pitched the first seven innings, went back to the mound and sent the next three batters off to secure the victory.
“Gavin threw a gem,” LaFleur said. “In both his and Brady’s games, the boys pitched really well.”
As the score showed, both teams were also nearly perfect on defence behind their chuckers.
“It was an awesome game,” Tod LeSergent said. “Both teams were saying that afterwards as we shook hands.”
Just before their last game of the tournament, the skies opened up, covering the fields with water.
Vancouver had already clinched one of the wildcard berths, so it was down to Cowichan and Nanaimo. The teams agreed to play the next day in Nanaimo.
As planned, Cam LeSergent went to the hill and pitched a complete game for a 4-2 victory as the Mustangs earned the last provincial berth. The teams each scored once in the first inning. Nanaimo took the lead with one run in the bottom of the third, but Cowichan got that one back in the top of the fifth, then went ahead for good with two runs in the top of the seventh.
“The boys were excited,” LaFleur said. “We were excited. They just played really well.”
The Mustangs went 11-19 during league play this year as some of the younger players adjusted to the bantam AAA level, but things have picked up down the stretch.
“It’s been a team effort,” LaFleur said. “A few of the sen-ior guys were doing the heavy lifting in the early part of the sea-son. Seeing some of our potential and how close we were to every-one else in the league, in the last month it’s been coming together. We’re peaking at the right time.”
Defensive errors were the team’s Achilles heel early on, but they’ve clearly turned that around with some zero-error games recently.
“That’s really an accomplish-ment for kids this age, when you
can go out with 13-, 14-, 15-year-old kids and not make any errors,” LaFleur said.
The Mustangs will be one of 10 teams at the provincial cham-pionships in White Rock this weekend. The field is split into two divisions, playing a round robin with the top two teams from each division advancing to the playoffs. LaFleur feels good about his team’s chances.
“ We ’ve p l aye d eve r yo n e already,” he noted. “The majority of teams there we can beat and we have beaten this season. The goal is always to come out victor-ious. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think we can make the playoff round.”

Rain last Friday forced organ-izers to move a few matches indoors, but the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club still managed to get the 128th Vancouver Island Grass Court Championship com-pleted in the sunshine the next day, which was a good thing, because it ended up raining again on Sunday.
Despite the rain on one day, tournament director Charles Ayers was pleased with the tour-nament as a whole.
“It went very well, although the entry list was on the low side,” he said. “Everybody seemed pretty happy about it.”
Entries were around 115 this year, Ayers noted, down from about 130 last year, and 200 when the event was at its largest. That seems to be following a trend.
“Most senior tournaments seem to be down a bit,” Ayers said.
Competitors came from across
Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Interior of B.C., as well as Washington and Oregon.
“The Americans always come up, but there were less than usual,” Ayers noted.
Ayers expressed his gratitude to the efforts of the SCLTC grounds-keepers, as well as club pro Art Hobbs and his wife Rita, who manages the club.
“Those were the bits and pieces that make it work well,” he said.
Winners of the individual events were:

By going above and beyond in their commitment to base-ball, two Duncan ballplayers and one from Chemainus have given themselves a very good chance at winning a provincial championship.
Caleb Battye and Cullen Plester played their house ball this spring in Duncan, but when Duncan Junior Baseball didn’t have a peewee A team for sum-mer baseball, they headed north to Ladysmith to join the 49ers. Dru Wright from Chemainus did the same thing so he could keep playing in the summer.
For Battye, it helped that he knew the Ladysmith coach, Shawn Freer, who helped his dad, Bryn Battye, guide the Duncan mosquito AAA team — which included Caleb — to the 2014 provincial title.
An outfielder and pitcher, Battye is in his eighth year of baseball, and says that playing for Ladysmith instead of Duncan is “not really” all that different.
Plester returned to baseball this year after taking four years off to play lacrosse.
“I missed it a little bit,” the second baseman and left fielder admitted.
Although he wasn’t playing baseball during that time, he was always around the dia-mond because his older brother, Hayden, still played.
Asked what he likes about baseball , Caleb responds, “Everything.”
Chided a bit by his mom to pro-vide a better response, he can’t.
“It’s the only answer,” he says.The 49ers easily won their zone
tournament in Victoria last weekend, mercying their oppon-ents in all three games. The team wins because it is solid from top to bottom, the Duncan players say.
“Everybody is good at their positions,” Plester said. “They know how to play them. And everybody can hit. There’s no
easy out on our team.”The 49ers will head to Surrey
this weekend for the provincial championships, where they will be the only Island representa-tives. They are confident they can bring back the gold, having mercied Abbotsford at a tourna-ment in Victoria two weeks ago, and held their own in an exhib-ition game against Nanaimo’s AAA team.
“I think the boys will show very well,” Cullen’s mom, Sue Plester, said. “It’s a strong team. They have a lot of depth, a lot of pitching.”

Several young rugby players with roots in the Cowichan Val-ley will be busy this weekend as they don Team BC kits for sev-eral games against teams from other provinces.
The Valley will be repre-sented on two different teams at the Western Championships in Kelowna as B.C. provincial teams take on squads of players selected from across the Prairie provinces.
The Western Championships replace the National Cham-pionships of previous years, although players from the West-erns will be invited to national team camps and West vs. East competitions.
B.C.’s U18 women’s s ide will include Brentwood Col-lege players Avi Sharabi, Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Delaney Mar-tin and McKenna Haz, and Emi-ly Lindsay, Hannah Morten and Mariah Fontana from Cowichan Secondary.
The U16 men’s team will include Shawnigan Lake School students Jim Newman and Jonny Hodgkins, as well as
Brentwood’s Harrison Hooke.The U16 men play at 2:30 p.m.
on Friday and the U18 women play at 4 p.m. in games that will be streamed live at bcrugby.ca
Meanwhile, BC Rugby is send-ing teams from the age levels not represented at the Western Championships on a trip to Ottawa for a two-game series against Ontario sides.
Brentwood’s Denise Roy will make that trip with the U16 women, while the U17 men will include Cow High’s Peyton Eagar and Kyle Joe, Frances Kelsey’s Karl Mattison, Shawn-igan’s Nicolas Mouret and Seth Purdey and Ladysmith’s Taylor de Souza.

Just one hit separated the Gord Closson Forest Products Fast-ball Club and Wheatsheaf in the second game of the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League championship series in Cedar last Thursday.
Unfortunately for GCFP, the defending champions, that hit was a home run, giving Wheat-sheaf a 1-0 victory and a sweep in the best-of-three series.
GCFP had three hits on the evening, and Wheatsheaf had four. All the scoring in the game came on one hit: a leadoff home run in the second inning.
“They played a good game,” GCFP manager Joe DiLalla said. “We played a good game. The wrong team got the home run.”
Dan Whiteford went 1-for-2 with a walk, while Marty Steen and Craig Snyder were both 1-for-3. Snyder also put forth yet another brilliant pitching per-formance, striking out 10 over six innings while giving up just four hits and the one run.
“It was a good game,” DiLalla said. “We were right there the whole way. We had our chances.”
The Duncan team won eight of
12 games in the regular season, with three losses and one default. They swept past Lantzville Pub in the first round of the playoffs before falling to Wheatsheaf in the final. All in all, DiLalla was pleased with the season.
“We had a couple of new play-ers, a couple of young kids filling in,” he said. “I think we’ll have more young kids next year. Last year was kind of a dream year. We had one of the best pitchers who ever played around here in Korey Garreau.”
That’s not to downplay the per-formance of Craig Snyder, who pitched every game, and nearly every inning, for GCFP, winning the league MVP award and just missing both the batting title and ERA title.
“Craig did an amazing job all year,” DiLalla said. “He was a workhorse.”
With the season now over, the team will turn its attention to organizing the Gord Closson Old Timers Fall Classic at Waldon Park on Aug. 22 and 23.

It came as little surprise when the Cowichan Valley Thunder outscored the Juan de Fuca Whalers 43-8 in the Island inter-mediate B lacrosse finals. The true test is yet to come as the Thunder head to the provincials in Langley this weekend.
The Thunder came home from last year’s provincial tourna-ment with the silver medal, but head coach Lorne Winship believes this edition is better than that, with most players in their second year of intermedi-ate lacrosse, and a bunch of players who have played at the A level, and even more who could play at the A level.
Although he hasn’t seen the other teams in the tournament Winship expeects big things from his squad.
“I know the competition will be better [than on the Island], but I think our team is stronger than it was last year,” he said. “We have a chance to do well over there.”
Winship’s teams have always have excellent powerplay units, but even he is impressed with the guys he can put on the floor with the extra man.
“Our powerplay unit is as
strong as I’ve ever had in all my years coaching,” he said. “They could all be playing at the inter A level.”
In fact, Winship has been told by folks in the know that his team could run with the bottom third of the inter A league.
T he T hunder should be missing only one regular player this weekend as Corwin Trent is unavailable, but Winship has a deep roster to draw from.
“We’ve certainly got enough guys to fill the gaps,” he said.
As a bonus, the team will get Brandon (Skippy) Corby back from his summer job in Alberta, a big boost to the lineup who brings scoring and intangibles.
“He gets loose balls better than anybody,” Winship said.
The only way to really know how the team really stacks up is to take the next step and face the other top teams in the province.
“I’m excited to go to Langley to see where we’re at,” Winship said.
