A
female driver from Duncan was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries after her car rolled into the ditch early Tuesday morning near Paldi, police say. Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/
Duncan RCMP said the 9:08 a.m. crash saw the westbound 1992 Nissan Maxima leave Hwy. 18 for unknown reasons, enter the right ditch, and roll. Paramedics took the injured 22-year-old woman to Cowichan District Hospital after Sahtlam ¿re¿ghters attended the single-vehi-

cle accident scene. Two children riding the Maxima had no apparent injuries, but were also taken to CDH to be examined, Stuart said. “It looked like the driver was still in pajamas,” News Leader Pictorial lensman Andrew Leong said from the scene.

The Nissan left Hwy. 18 along a straight stretch near Hill 60 past Paldi. Earlier reports that a Jeep was involved in the wreck were incorrect. Police are still analyzing the crash’s cause and other details, Stuart said. Charges were not being contemplated at press time Tuesday, he noted. Any witnesses are welcome to call North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

Police calling Cowichan Lake-area Äre suspicious A fire that damaged two mobile homes west of Lake Cowichan Wednesday is deemed suspicious by police. The 9:30 p.m. structure fire at unit 27 of Meades Creek Trailer Park west of Lake Cowichan was attended by the RCMP and lake firefighters. While this mobile home was unoccupied,
the adjacent unit, which subsequently caught fire, was occupied, police say. “Luckily the residents escaped with no injuries, however both modular homes are heavily damaged,” said Sgt. Dave Voller of the Lake Cowichan RCMP. The fire is being considered suspicious in nature, he noted.
Its cause is under investigation by the local RCMP, and the RCMP’s Island District General Investigation Section, Voller said. Information about the fire can be told to the Lake Cowichan RCMP at 250-7496668, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Crofton rollover victim fortunate says chief
A
man is lucky to have survived a rollover wreck Friday near Crofton’s Bonsall Creek Bridge. “There was substantial damage so he was lucky,” Crofton ¿re chief Lee Burridge said of the incident that happened at around 8 p.m.
The man was the sole passenger in a white Chevrolet Blazer when it left Crofton Road and rolled down an embankment. “It was upside down” Burridge said. “He’d scrambled out by himself.” The man was conscious when seven Crofton ¿re¿ghters arrived on the scene, the chief noted.

Bruce hopes Nanaimo renaissance sparks other rail blooms Young Professionals of Nanaimo raised $410,000 through a series of campaigns and the former Downtown Nanaimo Partnership Society contributed $40,000. The hard work has paid off with the station of¿cially opening July 25. Graham Bruce, Island Corridor Foundation CEO, had doubts the building could be saved after his ¿rst tour of the site. “It was pretty sad. It was determined there was enough left to save it, but I couldn’t believe the reconstruct that was being suggested,” he said. “The crews have done a remarkable job of restoring the building. I’m really blown away.” Bruce said the station is not only a tremendous asset for Nanaimo, but for the island as well.

“The objective of the foundation is to see each station on the Island have a unique quality and characteristic about it. We want them to be alive and open and not just for the moment the train comes in,” he said. “The Nanaimo station sets the bar high. It is the grand opening of this station, but in a greater sense, it’s the af¿rmation of rail on Vancouver Island.” While the train station in Duncan remains one of its visual landmarks, the same can’t said for many other rail stops, which have deteriorated, or faded entirely. Andre Sullivan was president of the Young Professionals of Nanaimo when the group took the challenge to raise $400,000 for the project and admits the undertaking was huge.

Emphasis on Native education starting to pay off Youth: Skills needed to guide growing population
M
uch has been said about the graying of the Cowichan Valley, about how the aging baby boomers are taking over. But while this is true for a majority of Cowichan’s sub-communities, for one it is patently false. Cowichan’s under-25 Aboriginal population has boomed, and it’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing. Against that backdrop, recent graduation statistics in the Cowichan Valley School District are a cause for celebration. According to 2011 census data, the population of the Cowichan Tribes reserve lands has grown by 30 per cent in the past ¿ve years. According the Chief Community Harvey Alphonse, more than 50 per cent the band’s population is under 25. on a path to a ofProp those statistics up against historic better tomorgraduation rates hovering around 30 to 35 per cent and you have great cause row for concern where the valley’s future is headed. But there is more than just a glimmer of hope. The most recent Aboriginal graduation statistics from Cowichan Secondary School show an increase to 55 per cent. And, pending the results of provincial exams, that rate is poised to leap by another 50 per cent. We have no doubt that success is in large part due to the increased emphasis being placed on Aboriginal education in SD79, both in terms of dollars and in better relationships between the school district and Native leaders. An interesting byproduct is the number of non-Aboriginal students who are also picking up what these teachers are putting down. And a driving force is an across-the-board belief from Cowichan elders that their youth is worth signi¿cant investment, in fact they might be the band’s single highest priority. It bodes well for the future of Cowichan Tribes, for the connecting of the two Cowichans, and for the Cowichan Valley as a whole.
We say:
The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t
This we like There’s not much to say about the Islands Folk Festival that hasn’t been said during the past three decades. But there is a reason this is a staple of the Cowichan summer — it simply works. Organizers know their audience and are old hands at giving them exactly the right tone. And they keep coming up with a cross-section of unheralded acts that are a joy to watch.
Cowichan’s Islands Folk Festival turned 28 this weekend.
As the criticisms of the Shawnigan Lake soil dumping proposal continue to pile up, one thing becomes completely clear. The local community lacks an effective mechanism to ensure its wishes are given fair weight in the approval process. The recent public meeting helps, but its role in the process is largely cosmetic. More local control is needed.
When you’re It, fair funding just a Äsh outta water Aaron Bichard
News Leader Pictorial
M
arco? Polo! Marco? Polo! In pools around the globe, the Venetian explorer is feverishly sought, the investigative cries serving as a soundtrack to swimming, summer and fun. Marco? One kid, generally with copious globs of snot bedaubed from nose to ear, is Àailing around, eyes clenched tight, barking repeatedly from over-extended vocal chords in a crackling tone of excited desperation. Marco? He Àails hither and to, reaching out to make contact with one of his allies turned adversaries, executing a frenzied hail of, wavelaunching lunges to rid himself of the powerful, but highly lamentable, title of It. Polo! With hands cupped to mouths, attempting to miraculously become master ventriloquistst, his opponents, a merry band of sniggering acoustic acrobats, move silently through the shallows, lest
they be caught. Fish outta water! There’s a similar, albeit curiouser and curiouser, game taking place in the waters of the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. North Cowichan, Duncan and Cowichan Tribes are obviously It. Instead of Marco, they call out desperately for a regional fair funding formula to keep the pool aÀoat. They say their water wings are leaking and they are slowly starting to sink under the weight of high operating costs and few revenue generating users. They call out to electoral directors who, instead of answering like sportsmanlike players of the same game are wont to do, lurk in the shallows, staying infuriatingly silent. For CVRD directors of outlying areas, to pony up with an answer of Polo means pulling out the chequebook and running the risk of also becoming It. Like most games of Marco Polo, this one will likely end in a bloody nose, accusations of cheating and cries of “It’s not fair.” And therein lies the problem. Fairness.
COWICHAN LEADERS
When the funding formula was originally presented, every area within the CVRD had a chance to dive in. North Cowichan, Cowichan Tribes and Duncan tossed their pennies in the pond, then, feeling their neighbours were sponging by not participating, grabbed hold of their soaking swimsuits and yanked upward. The resulting wedgie was a two-tier payment scheme, leaving the rest of the CVRD feeling like second-class citizens. No one should be surprised that those feeling singled out with higher fees decided to stay home or swim in more friendly waters. It’s obvious the two-tier system has to go. So, too, should the notion of ¿nding a fair funding formula. Recreation centres, like the Sportsplex, community gardens, parks, libraries, playgrounds, senior centres, city squares and theatres, are cornerstones of a healthy community. Their strength is in bringing people together. North Cowichan, Duncan and Cowichan Tribes should be commended for taking the risk to build such an amazing facility, where fun-focused kids
can share training space with the likes of Olympian Emily Zurrer. They deserve one more pat on the back, then need to shift their focus away from worrying about fairness to getting users into the building. A regional recreation strategy is a nice goal, but should not be imperative to keeping the doors of the aquatic centre open. Taxpayers in the areas who voted in favour of the pool — myself included — knew what we were getting into. We deemed it a bene¿t to the community, which includes people from outside electoral boundaries, and dove in. Now we’re the only ones in the pool. We’re It. Let’s invite more people to play, even if it means dismissing fair funding as a ¿sh outta water. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them.

That’s where the Cowichan tattoo apprentice learned she was one of just a handful of artists selected for Camosun College’s inaugural Comics and Graphic Novels certi¿cation program, starting this fall. “(Comic book artist and teacher) Ken Steacy had a booth there so I got to meet him in person, and he told me there, ‘You’re in,’” says Mari. “I didn’t have to write an essay for him or give him any of¿cial submission. “I’m unbelievably excited — honestly, I cried.” Steacy has 30 years of experience in the comic book industry. He’s done work for Marvel and DC, and in 2009 was inducted into the Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame. And along with his wife, Joan, he’ll be leading Camosun’s program that covers everything from storytelling and creative writing to layout, charac-
snake person.” And since then, she’s steadily honed her skills through Frances Kelsey’s art classes, and as a tattoo artist at Primal Urge Body Art. It’s all served to build on her talent. “I draw things for people’s tattoos that I wouldn’t have drawn otherwise, and there’s exposure to new images, new people and ideas,” says Mari, who gave herself a tattoo of the logo from her graphic novel series, Memoirs of Manearthra: Flame’s Shadow. The third in that series, Untouched, launches at 6 p.m. on Friday at Collector’s Choice in Duncan. Mari doesn’t want to reveal too much about the series because it’s a mystery, but says it’s also ¿rmly set in the fantasy genre, in a world she created and called Manearthra. “I designed the continents, the seas, the lands, and then there are creatures that are entirely my creation within this world, and societies, and cultures,” Mari says. “Within the world I’ve created I have so many stories, so I basically just picked one that I felt had a lot to say, had a lot to it.” Mari plans to release up to 13 issues within this particular series, but there will be plenty of other stories set in Manearthra to come. “I don’t like to totally plan everything out,” she added. “I let the characters take over — I even let that happen in the comics. They’re taking me on the ride. I have the story in my head, but they’re putting it on paper in their own way, and I’m letting it happen.” Collaborations between friends and their own ¿ctional worlds is another eventuality. “My closest circle of friends, that’s all we do,” says Mari. “We get together and make up stories.”

esistance training has been shown to improve many health-related bene¿ts, including reducing risk to causes of mortality, including fewer cardiovascular events, improved body composition, better glucose regulation, and lower blood pressure, as well as for the prevention and management of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and metabolic syndrome. But can muscular activity or strength training affect brain function, especially in older adults? Regular exercisers know well the effects of exercise on mood, sleep and concentration. Exercise of any kind can help calm people, focus their mental concentration, as well as give them energy and reduce lethargy. However, apart from general bene¿ts to mood, stress and sleep levels, more evidence is mounting about improvements to the higher brain functions of cognition and executive functioning. These terms refer to more immediate brain processes such as thinking, reasoning, storing and retrieving memories. The positive effects on these higher brain functions were replicated in a study done at UBC this year, when a group of 86 senior women with mild cognitive impairment performed resistance and aerobic training. The six-month study showed that twice a week resistance training improved executive cognitive functions necessary for independent living, such as concentration, problem solving, and decision making. One interesting result of this study was that aerobic exercise did not affect cognition, whereas it had positive effects in previous studies to healthy older adults. Continued on next page

from previous page So why should strength training have this effect on brain function? These mechanisms are quite speculative at the moment, but could involve the same hormonal, circulatory and chemical mechanisms that affect the way muscle, tendon and bone respond to strength training. There may turn out to be many different factors involved in new nerve cell generation in the brain. But, whatever the mechanism, it appears that older adults with brain function impairment can improve brain function and that is great news for anyone who has early stage Alzheimer’s disease or related loss of brain function. The attraction to strength training is that it is reasonably accessible to most, but not every older adult is comfortable or condent with beginning a weight-training program. There are programs and facilities for this at various recreation and senior’s centres, rehabilitation clinics, and there are instructional resources around on the internet. Younger family members can help navigate the internet for these resources if needed. The researchers at UBC who performed the recent study have produced a 10-minute YouTube video that introduces the concept of resistance training and demonstrates the exercises quite well. To nd the study, Google YouTube exercise is power. But don’t ignore mental exercises as well. Brain cells, just like

muscle cells, atrophy (shrink) when they are not used. As we age, the brain’s reserve capacity – the ability to withstand damage due to aging and other factors without affecting memory, concentration or decision-making – reduces over the years. By keeping it active you can help delay this process.

Researchers believe that the most effective plan to increase your cognitive reserve is to stimulate your brain in several ways each day. That includes diet, resistance exercise, and lifestyle factors, as well as the daily exing of your brain’s neurons.

t’s a safe bet that when Olaf Fedje left the little town of Frontier, Sask. in the 1930s looking for work, he had never seen trees like they have in B.C.
Chris Hamlyn
Sivert Mjoen, left, and Chester Scott pose with a early logging photo of Olaf Fedje. Former employees of Fedje in the 1960s, the two were among the nearly 100 people who celebrated his life at a memorial Thursday. Fedje died July 3 at 94.
Those trees would play a huge role in the 19-year-old’s life for the next 75 years, and he would have an equally important role in the growth of the forest industry in the province. Fedje died July 3 at 94, surrounded by the family so important to him. A memorial was held
Thursday on his property on Jenkins Road, drawing close to 100 people celebrating his life. Hard times in the Depression forced Fedje, his father and two brothers to head west and to logging – the one industry where workers were in demand. He became a pioneer in the
industry with the introduction of chainsaw. Early saws were 63-kilogram beasts, requiring two men to haul them through the forest and hold them while another supervised the cutting. Continued on next page

Continued from previous page Fedje, soon an experienced faller, was one the ¿rst loggers in the province to operate a one-man saw and was later hired by forest company Bloedel, Stewart & Welch to teach the ¿ner points to other loggers. “I guess he was fairly good at it and the contractors wanted him to teach the fallers so they could raise production,” said Selena Pellizzari, one of Fedje’s six grandchildren. Fedje then got into the contracting side of the business, forming Fedje & Gunderson Falling Contractors in 1948, with Cliff Gunderson. It soon became the largest falling contractor on the West Coast. Sivert Mjoen, 85, worked for Fedje for 30 years off and on starting in the 1960s. He remembers a good man who knew his business and the men looking for work. “When contractors would come looking for fallers, if Olaf wasn’t in his of¿ce they walked out,” he said. “They only wanted to talk to him when hiring, he knew the good fallers.” Fedje also gained a reputation for caring about
the loggers. “I later worked for MacMillan Bloedel and was the last on the seniority list and got laid off quite often,” said Mjoen. “I came home in the evening and Olaf phoned knowing I just got laid off and he had a job for me the next morning. He was always looking after people.” Chester Scott, 81, said Fedje was a good boss and an even better talker. “I was looking after fallers in the camp in Gold River and got fed up and told Olaf I was going to quit,” he said. “He would pat me on the back, tell me what a good guy I was and I’d go back to camp happy.” Demanding a lot from those he hired, Fedje was also concerned about their wellbeing in a time when safety was not always a priority. “It really hurt him when one of the fallers would get killed,” said Scott. “We all knew it was a dangerous job, but Olaf always took it hard.” But life was not all work in the woods. Attending a late 1930s social in the Fraser Valley, Fedje met Beatrice Stech and the couple were married in 1940.
They moved to Port Alberni in 1943 and Nanaimo in 1946, living in Harewood to raise two daughters. Fedje got into sales and service with Island Chain Saws and then established Nanaimo’s Woodlands Supplies in the 1960s which still operates today as Westwood Power and Marine. He also partnered with Scott and three others to form Island Ropes and Equipment in Nanaimo. Nephew Wayne McDougall said Fedje was not only a family man, but took care of his friends as well. “He helped out a lot of people up and down the Island. It wasn’t just family … friends were important to him,” he said. “He set up people in business and helped bail some out.” Pellizzari said Fedje was a fantastic person. “He was wise, he was patient, we was an advisor, he would push us when we needed it but also stand back at let us go on our own,” she said. “He always had our back and a I think a lot of his employees would say the same. He was always behind the people who worked for him and the same held true for family life. People in general were important to him.”

nvironmental tunesmith, and dad to be, Kemal Evans won the Islands Songwriting Contest during Friday’s opening of the Islands Folk Festival. Hundreds of fans — including partner Amy Kay — heard nine Island song entrants play their tunes for judges Zak Cohen, Jon Brooks and Holly Arntzen before Evans, 37, was chosen the winner for his original 3:20-minute song
Blue Yellow. The roots-reggae song showcased Evans’ feelings about PM Stephen Harper, species extinction, corporate greed, consumer power, and alternative energy. The Sooke resident applauded ¿ancee, Amie, for noticing the competition — following an island Ecology and the Environment theme— online, which led to his triumphant tune that’s basically an environmental wake-up call. “This is awesome,” the winner of recording time at Cohen’s North Cowichan Woodshop studio.
“I picked initiatives we need to work on, like waste water; Canada’s really bad for that,” he told the News Leader Pictorial backstage, hoping to see a cleaner, greener future for son-on-the-way, Benzen. “It’s about drawing attention to things people know are there, but aren’t doing much about. “Once these issues have attention, it’s hard to ignore them.” Kay was proud of Evans, who’s assembled the ¿ve-piece Kemal Evans Band. “Kemal spent so much time obsessing over his lyrics.
“He’s so talented and deserves a break.” Evans is a native Salt Spring Islander who once appeared on Sesame Street with fellow islander, Valdy — who played the folkfest’s Islands Stage Sunday. Second-place winner, Shanti Bremer (Drink It Down), won a instrument pick-up kit. Bronze winner Naomi Payan (The Ground I Was Given) earned tickets to IFF 2013. Other contest hopefuls included Kevin Mitchell, Birgit Kuit, Jamie Bouttell, Paul Ruszel, Brian Hazelbower, and Patricia Kirk.

DEATHS ATCHESON, William Hamilton April 12, 1914 - July 17, 2012 A hard-working, loving, family man has passed on to his well-deserved rest at age 98. Bill was born in Boissevain, Manitoba to William Wallace Atcheson and Ida Galau. He was the third of 10 children. He was pre-deceased by 3 brothers and 5 sisters, and is survived by his sister Marie Thompson.
His wife of 62 years, Marion, predeceased him in 2002. Together they raised 6 children, and enjoyed numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He leaves behind his grieving children, Joyce Schmidt, Vivienne Renner, Lorainne (Brian) Hamilton, Larry (Judy) Atcheson, Billie (Andy) Phillips and Ron (Val) Atcheson. Also mourning his passing are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Kurt (Laurie) Schmidt (Spencer [Aubrey], Dallin, Kevin, Krista & Parker); Kathy East (Brandon, Jennifer & Walter); Noreen (Don) Weisner; Corinne (Jim) Lyle (Ray & Billie); Gail (Don) Maddalozzo (Maria & Clinton); Dale (Glenda) Atcheson (Tyler, Jordan & Curtis); Paul Atcheson (Jamie, Craig, Kyla & Lucas); Nicki (Allan) Waters; Steve (Danielle) Phillips (Cory & Karah); Laura Atcheson (Alyssa); and Brian Atcheson. Bill homesteaded with his parents in Saskatchewan until marrying Marion and moving out to Vancouver Island in 1940. He signed up for service during the Second World War, even though he had two daughters and was therefore exempt from the draft. He was posted as an orderly at the 22nd Royal Canadian Hospital in England. On his return, he worked at the Youbou sawmill, then became a logger for Mayo Lumber. He later worked at the Cowichan Creamery/Co-op until his retirement. He and Marion were charter members of the Vimy Western Riding Club. They also belonged to the Moose Lodge in Duncan. He was a member of the Creekside OAPO, where he enjoyed morning coffee and a game of pool. He was also a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Bill’s particular passion was for horses, but he enjoyed all aspects of farming. With the help of his small farm on Menzies Road in Duncan, where the family lived from 1950 to 1970, there was always meat on the table. After his retirement in 1970 they moved to Lumby, where he raised sheep. They then moved to Armstrong in 1973, where he continued to hobby farm. They moved to Chase in 1990. As he gradually downsized he took up raising budgies and cockatiels as a hobby. Bill became a familiar sight on the streets of Chase as he walked almost every day, winter and summer, up until 2 weeks before his passing, to the Post OfďŹ ce and to the Chase Cafe or Craig’s Bakery. He was gratiďŹ ed by the recognition he received on his 98th birthday. Although we grieve for Dad, we know that he led a good, long life, and we can ask for nothing more. A Celebration of Life will take place on Wednesday, August 1st at 1:00 pm at the Chase Community Hall, Chase, B.C.

To commemorate the event, Dwight named one of its dormitories Strathcona House. • Carolyn Masson reports Western Bluebirds are nesting on Vancouver Island for the ¿rst time since 1995.

Capitals add mobility to the blueline Capital gains: Team announces puck-moving defencemen Mueller and Scammon John McKinley
News Leader Pictorial
M
oving the puck from the backline looks to be a priority under the Big Stick this winter. The Cowichan Valley Capitals have acquired not one, but two puck-moving defencemen the team announced Monday. In the ¿rst exchange, the Caps sent
defenceman David London and future considerations to the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League in exchange for defenceman Tyler Mueller. The 6’1” 175-pound 1994 Regina product registered four goals, 13 assists and 55 penalty minutes in his rookie MJHL season, and was one of four Manitoba players selected to play in November’s CJHL prospect game. “Tyler is a smooth-skating dman who can move the puck up the ice very well, and has the ability to be a key piece to our powerplay this season,” Caps general manager and head coach Jim Ingram said in a press release. The second addition cost the Capitals nothing.
Defenseman Corey Scammon, a 5’10”, 175-pound 1993 product out of the hockey hotbed of Orlando, Florida, will spend the coming season preparing for his college hockey career in Duncan. According to a Capitals release, Scammon comes to the Caps “after two highly productive seasons with the Cushing Academy Penguins including last season where he was team captain.” Cushing coach Rob Gagnon is quoted as describing Scammon as “very elusive and deceptive, with great escapability. He’s the best ¿rst passer I’ve had at Cushing, and he’s a pointproducing D.” Scammon has already committed to UMass-Lowell for 2013.

Tayler Green Tayler Green fit in well with her Duncan Dragons’ U16 B fastpitch teammates despite being two years under the age limit. At five-foot-10 and sporting her size 11 shoes, Green made a big presence for the team on the field in its trek to the B.C. championship over 15 other challengers at Evans Park. She just turned 14 on May 4, but she was such a large talent in the tournament opponents thought she was closer to being overage. Green played catcher, first base and outfield for the Dragons. She made an impact at catcher during the provincials and also swung a highly-productive bat. “Tayler’s been with us for three years,’’ said coach Kevin Olender. “The last couple of years we’ve been looking at her as a catcher. She’s just a good kid to coach.’’ view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

Bains gold headlines impressive medal haul as Cowichan helps lead Vancouver Island to victory

B.C. Games: Valley athletes contribute to at least 16 medals Maeve Maguire

Y
ou don’t have to be big to be great. That’s the message local athletes who represented the Cowichan Valley at the B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford this past weekend took home. That, and at least 16 medals to help earn the Vancouver IslandCentral Coast team top spot in the medal standings. As volunteers continue to enter competition data, this result may change, but one thing won’t: our Cowichan Valley athletes did us proud. Among the medal recipients is Chicago Bains, who earned a gold medal in the 80-metre hurdles — and a personal best time, a silver medal in the 200-metre hurdles, and a gold in the 4x100-metre relay, with fellow Cowichan Valley Athletics Club teammate Taryn Smiley. When asked how she felt about winning, Bains said “It feels great.” It should, considering Bains was competing against athletes one year her senior. The games hosted 2,830 athletes under age 15, their coaches and of¿cials. Cowichan Valley athletes were among 20 busloads transported to Abbotsford, where schools were transformed into accommodation for the kids. Kamryn Bains, who was at the games cheering on her daughter in the Track and Field events, thought it was exciting our team beat others on the mainland, “We just proved to B.C. that our island can stand up to Vancouver competition. The facilities the kids
