Photographer wants to be Enbridge route’s pipeline to the people Northern Gateway: Trio ready to ride in bid to document people along pipeline path Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan photographer and former city councillor Paul Fletcher views the people on the route as the real pipeline to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project. That’s why he’s decided to travel through the territory to document the feelings of those who would be most affected if the controversial project goes through. He also intends to capture the landscapes and seascape that stand to be negatively impacted by construction or oil spills. Fletcher and friend Daniel Sikorsky of Halfmoon Bay, also a photographer, will be hopping on the Harleys to make the unique three-week trip. They’ll be joined for a week by Duncan councillor Michelle Staples, who w will add a video dimension to the pproject. “It was my idea,’’ said Fletcher of the trip. “I just feel you don’t hhave enough of a voice and we’re nnot really hearing the whole story — how much is real and how m much is exaggerated. I want to ¿nd out the story for myself. Paul Fletcher: “It’ll give us a real sense of what ﬁnd out ppeoples’ opinions are because you can’t get it from the papers.’’ A llaunchh party t for f tthe Ride The Pipe project takes place Thursday at 7 p.m. upstairs at the Craig Street Brew Pub. “A lot of people are standing up and saying what they feel about it and Cowichan is kind of quiet,’’ said Fletcher. The trip will begin the day after the launch party. Starting from Vancouver, Fletcher and Sikorsky will head toward Bruderheim outside of Edmonton and then begin documenting everything as they head through Mayerthorpe and Fox Creek, Alberta and back toward B.C. through numerous communities, including Tumbler Ridge, Prince George, Burns Lake and Terrace en route to Kitimat. From the ¿nal destination, a boat tour is being arranged of the Central Coast region. Fletcher said he invited Sikorsky to participate because they’re both equally passionate about Canadian causes. Their work will give voice to the people along the route who are against it, but aren’t often heard. more on page 5

They had the truck on display for public viewing at the dealership last week.

Driver, pedestrian dead in Cowichan Lake motorcycle tragedy Saturday evening: Motorcycle collides with pedestrian on Youbou Highway just west of Lake Cowichan Tamu Miles

Lake Cowichan Gazette

wo locals are dead after a motorcycle hit a pedestrian on the Youbou Highway near Lake Cowichan Saturday evening. A 48-year-old Cowichan Lake woman walking her dog was struck by a 2008 BMW motorcycle heading toward Duncan at the Neva Road intersection at approximately 8:40 p.m. Small crowds of concerned neighbours gathered on both sides of Youbou Highway as Lake Cowichan RCMP, Fire Department,

and B.C Ambulance responded to the scene. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the driver of the motorcycle, a male, and his passenger, a female. Both were taken to Cowichan District Hospital. According to RCMP, the driver, a 60-yearold Chemainus man, died en route to the hospital. The passenger, a 49-year-old woman from Crofton was held overnight, but released the next morning. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. A man believed to be connected with the deceased woman was also on scene trying to come to grips with the reality of the situation. Several friends arrived to offer him some

comfort and support. The dog succumbed to its injuries. An RCMP spokesperson said the police need to notify family members before names can be released. Because some may be out of province he is not sure of the time frame. The Youbou Highway was blocked from Indian Road to the intersection with Highway 18 for several hours, and police along with a collision analyst were on the scene until approximately 3 a.m. Residents trying to return home to the north side of Neva Road were forced to leave their vehicles on the south side and walk home. The cause remains under investigation.

Cyclist dies from injuries sustained in Duncan crash Francisco Ramirez has been identiﬁed as the cyclist struck by a vehicle Thursday morning in Duncan, and he died of his injuries Monday at Victoria General Hospital. “He died as a result of a traumatic head injury,’’ said Matt Brown, the regional coroner for Vancouver Island.

Ramirez of the Duncan area was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident that occurred at the intersection of Moorﬁeld Road and Lane Road. He was initially identiﬁed as being a 20year-old, but was actually 29. Ramirez went to hospital after being struck

by a Chevy pick-up truck that had the right of way, according to North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP Cpl. Chris Swain. The driver of the truck, who was not injured, could not avoid the collision after Ramirez didn’t stop.

Street racing Cowichan teens busted in Saanich Young drivers: ﬁned after car crashes doing 87 km/h in a 10 km/h zone

t wasn’t a bird and it wasn’t a plane. What Àew through the air Tuesday afternoon in rural Saanich was a car — a blue Geo, to be exact — that became airborne while street racing. Shortly after noon, Saanich police were called to the 300-block of Conway Road near Camosun College’s Interurban campus for a report of two street racers. “A red Honda and a blue Geo were racing on the winding, narrow, rural road at speeds of 70-80 km/h,” wrote Const. Mike Bainbridge, with Saanich’s traf¿c safety unit. That stretch of road has a recommended speed of 10 km/h. The Geo hit the crest in the road, launching it a metre in the air, and sending it crashing on the ground, breaking the engine mounts and nearly hitting a car parked nearby. “The driver abandoned his vehicle nearby and removed the licence plates in an attempt to avoid detection,” Bainbridge wrote. The driver of the Honda picked up the Geo driver and they Àed the neighbourhood. Police received six reports of the crash from area residents. The red Honda was located at the nearby college, along with both drivers. Both drivers — a 17-year-old Shawnigan Lake teen and an 18-year-old Cobble Hill teen — carried novice licences and have driving histories known to police. “The Geo has been reported to police on several previous occasions as a dangerous driver, and the driver of the Honda has previously been suspended from driving twice,” Bainbridge wrote. The department’s collision reconstruction team determined the Geo was travelling at least 87 km/h when it hit the crest. Both the Geo and the Honda were impounded for seven days. The driver of the Geo was charged with driving without due care and attention, which comes with a $368 ¿ne. The Honda driver was issued a $196 ¿ne for driving without consideration for the safety of others. — Kyle Slavin, Black Press

Betty Anne Devitt during one of her last shifts as manager of the Cowichan Food Basket — a volunteer post she held for 25 years.

A generation at the food bank, a lifetime of service Caring Canadian: Former Cowichan’s food bank heart Betty Anne Devitt honoured with national recognition Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

etty Anne Devitt is the epitome of the caring Canadian. It was only appropriate when the woman who almost single-handedly ran the Cowichan Valley Basket Society for more than 25 years was among the recipients of Caring Canadian Awards from Governor General David Johnston July 19 in Victoria. “I think it was great they get some sort of recognition for the years,’’ said husband Phil, who’s been with her every step of the way. Betty Anne just turned 80 the week before on July 11 and has been married to Phil for 49 years. The couple’s daughter from Duncan, ¿ve grandchildren and Betty Anne’s sister from Mis-

sissauga, Ont. all attended the presentation. The Devitts also have a son who lives on the North Island and a daughter in Manitoba. Phil said there were about 15 other people honoured with a special pin. “It has a blue background for royalty, a Maple Leaf representing Canada, a heart for the giving and a turned-up palm for the receivers of the awards,’’ he explained of the symbolism. Phil said right from the start of his relationship with Betty Anne, they both had their special causes. “I did my thing and she did her thing,’’ he said. Phil coached soccer for 30 years and Betty Anne gravitated toward things that were near and dear to her heart. “She was brought up in a convent, more or less,’’ explained Phil. “She ran a babysitting

service for 20-some odd years as well.’’ Both were born in Vancouver. Their ¿rst child was born in England, the second one in Halifax and the third in New Westminster as Phil went from serving on submarines in England to the navy in Halifax and later worked in construction and for hydro on the mainland. “She mostly volunteered,’’ said Phil of Betty Anne. “I think her rewards were probably from the people she helped. She knew she was helping.’’ He was grateful to Jacqueline Ward for Betty Anne’s award nomination. “It takes somebody like that to make the hidden talent to come out of any volunteer work,’’ Phil said. “You work quietly in the background.’’ Betty Anne retired from the basket society last year.

Four taken to CDH after crash snarls highway

n accident scene south of Duncan at Miller Road snarled traf¿c Monday afternoon and sent four to hospital. A two-vehicle crash involving a Honda Civic and a Ford sedan occurred at the intersection of Miller

Road and the Trans-Canada Highway at about 12:30 p.m. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said one vehicle was northbound on the highway attempting to turn left onto Miller when it was T-boned by the other. The victims were transported to

Cowichan District Hospital with minor injuries. Southbound traf¿c was moving slowly by about 1:30 p.m., although volume was heavy with people returning home from the holiday weekend. The accident had traf¿c backed up all the way through Duncan.

Manhunt on for missing downtown soldier

owntown Duncan’s smiling sentry has gone AWOL. The latest edition of the giant Playmobil toy soldier that has guarded the Red Balloon toy shop for years vanished from his post on Thursday and his commanding of¿cers want him back. “We’ve not yet had a ransom demand,” Red Balloon co-owner Phaedra Fairwell said Tuesday. The black-red-and-silver-clad knight was on duty outside the Craig Street storefront Thursday morning as the Red Balloon opened for business. But when employees went to bring the sidewalk display in at the end of the day, he was gone. The ¿ve-foot six-inch soldier rests on a blue, roller-equipped pedestal. He has been on duty for about a year, following in the footsteps of a predecessor who had been patrolling the sidewalk for years. Fairwell has no idea how he disappeared and would welcome tips from

This soldier disappeared Thursday. any and all who may have observed anything. Better yet, she hopes he may simply reappear as mysteriously as he vanished. “No questions asked,” Fairwell said. “We just want our guy back.” Call the store at 250-748-5545. — John McKinley

The intent is to create a photographic portfolio as they go along, with a documentary video that will be made available to the media, environmental agencies, schools, libraries and others. Frequent updates will also be done on The Daily Pipe, their website blog, as well as Facebook and Twitter. It’ll be a no-frills ride in terms of supplies. “Cameras are more important than clothes,’’ laughed Fletcher. He’s been thinking about the trip since January. “It’s been slow getting it organized,’’ said Fletcher. “It’s not totally planned out. It’s going to be interesting to see where things are going to take us.’’

Recovery program hatches new chapter for the Western bluebird Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

estern bluebirds were believed to be locally extinct — until last week. That’s when four Western bluebird eggs hatched at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve, furthering the unique Maple Bay site — owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada — as a natural lab. “This breeding attempt by the reintroduced pair is a measurable mark of success for the Bring Back the Bluebirds project, and the ¿rst step in re-establishing a population on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands,” said Gary Slater of Ecostudies institute. “We anticipate if the nest is successful and produces young, the young will

return to the area next spring to nest on their own.” The hatchings spell the ¿rst time Western bluebirds have nested on the island since 1995. “Every bird, whether a nestling or translocated adult, receives a unique colour combination of four bands—two on each leg.” Three of the coloured bands are plastic, and one is an aluminum band from the North American Bird Banding Program, administered by Canadian and U.S. agencies. The unique combination of colours given to each bird allows scientists to track its movements, survival, and reproduction output, all important measures to evaluate success of the re-introduction, and the long-term viability of the re-introduced population, said Slater, coordinator of the ¿ve-year project’s translocation component.

courtesy Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team

Baby Western bluebird banded at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve recently. It’s among four of the rare birds to have hatched on the island since 1995. The eggs are in a nestbox claimed by son, and they’re working on their second an adult pair from four sets of Western brood while feeding the four Àedglings. bluebirds released at the preserve on The entire family was translocated June 11. Whereabouts of the other pairs from Washington on June 6. is unknown. The Àedglings are often seen perched It’s the young pair’s ¿rst breeding sea- in a small Garry oak near their parents’

new nestbox. Once a common species on the island and Gulf Islands, Western bluebirds thrived until the 1950s when numbers began to decline, and they were considered locally extinct. Possible reasons span loss of insect prey due to pesticides, loss of Garry oak habitat, removal of standing dead trees, and competition for nest holes with European starlings and English house sparrows. Western bluebirds are secondarycavity nesters that cannot build their own nests, and depend on old woodpecker cavities, natural holes in trees, or nestboxes. Western bluebirds are among some 100 species-at-risk in Garry oak and associated ecosystems. Report possible bluebird sightings to bluebird@goert.ca or 250-383-3427.

CVRD stance on soil dumping hard to ignore

Case made: Reasonable local position demands a thorough response

or something the Cowichan Valley Regional District is relatively powerless to do anything about, it has done what it can. Now it is up to the province to listen. Last week, the CVRD told the government in no uncertain terms it wants no part of contaminated soil being dumped in local watersheds now and in the future. And it is preparing a bylaw that enshrines that principle into local law. Certainly the province can, as it has Province must done before, reject said bylaw. But what different this time the province can’t address the is- isreject it simply on the grounds of Cowichan being NIMBY. sue of waterof a blanket condemnation of shed dumping soilInstead dumping, the region is prepared to acknowledge the practice is necessary. It is even prepared to accept dumping and treatment in certain parts of the valley, and work with the government in pinpointing the appropriate areas. But it wants a clear line drawn around watershed areas crucial to community drinking supplies. None of which are remotely unreasonable positions to take. It is indisputable soil dumping in the watershed is something the community wants no part of. The people have stated it clearly. Local government has stated it clearly. Government can, and often does, do what it wants. But it will be pretty hard to ignore such a clear and reasonable message. What the CVRD has done is identify soil dumping as a practice that requires more scrutiny and suggest what appears to be a sensible plan of action to address it. The province can certainly take issue with the letter of what the CVRD has proposed, but it would be derelict if it ignored the principle. Action or answers are needed. Victoria needs to respond.

Business ownership: the new retirement plan Maeve Maguire

News Leader Pictorial

e 30- and 40-somethings are doomed to work until the day we die, if ¿nancial analysts have it right. We have no retirement savings, we’ve got 40-year mortgages we can barely afford to service on overpriced homes, and consumer debt so high we are a few interest percentage points away from spiralling into bankruptcy. But wait peers, there is a colourful rainbow in the not-too-distant future. Our pot of gold comes in the form of businesses whose owners are ready to sell. It’s not like the olden days when business ownership was passed down to the family’s next generation. Next generations are instead chasing top-salaried professional jobs or travelling to far-off lands. According to Venture Connect, a resource group that eases the transaction between current and

future business owners, in the next 20 years we’ll see, “unparalleled shortfalls of both business owners and employees resulting in potential closure of large numbers of small businesses throughout the area.” Cha-ching! What they see as a problem, I see as an opportunity. With this is mind, take a walk down your community’s main street and you’ll feel like a kid with a pocket full of coins in a candy store: the path of your future is once again in your hands. Pick a business you see yourself owning, get yourself hired, and in time you’ll be riding shotgun on your way to owning the business. The previous owner has done all the grunt work setting up the business and your job as the new owner is to build on their success. Sounds sweet, yes? If only the truth were so simple. Clemens Rettich, a local business coach, and author of Great Performances, The Small Business Handbook for the Twenty-First Century, brought my dreams into check with some wise words. “It is a viable proposition, but you do not have

Common sense seems to dictate winter as the bad time for drivers. Slick roads, poor visibility and blustery conditions are more obvious candidates for mayhem on the blacktop than sunshine and clear skies. Yet the anecdotal evidence mounts that our pages are ﬁlled with more instances of trafﬁc accidents than is normal for Cowichan. Don’t join them. Take care.

your pick of businesses. The problem is a lack of businesses that are great candidates for sale. The sad truth is only a very tiny minority of businesses have been prepared correctly to be worth buying.” Rettich says succession planning — readying your business for a transition of ownership — is a challenge in business and community economic planning. Business owners do not have a long-term plan with staff and systems in place for selling the company and this makes the business more dif¿cult to value the company when the time comes. If you decide to pursue the dream of owning a local business, Rettich recommends retaining a business lawyer — a great one — to help navigate the transition. He also suggests ensuring there is enough time to value the company, and to keep your emotions out of the transaction. “Most sellers signi¿cantly overvalue their business, and can be very persuasive about their customer lists and goodwill when most of that isn’t worth anything. Determining the true value

of a business can take over a year.” Having done your due diligence, buying an existing business is still a great option for anyone who works for a company they dream of owning. Owners dream of selling to an employee who understands the business. “An employee who already knows the business is in a great position not only to capitalize on the strengths, but they also know where the bodies are buried,” Rettich says So pick a business that has a succession plan. Get hired, be a shining star, and eventually buy the business. Maybe then you can retire at 65 while the rest of us slog away at our 9-to-5 jobs for an extra 10 years to service our debt.

SIA proposal actually likely to be a good thing for Shawnigan

More subsidies for aquatic centre a bad idea

Dear editor North Cowichan Councillor John Koury wants to get the CVRD involved in “fair funding” for the under-utilized aquatic centre. What makes Councillor Koury think the electoral areas will want to pay taxes to fund the pool when their residents do not want to pay the higher user fee? The electoral areas were not involved in the decision to build the facility, so why should the electoral areas help fund the facility’s $3 million annual de¿cit by allowing the CVRD to extort taxes from them? Secondly, getting the CVRD involved in North Cowichan’s facility is a bad idea, as it will lead to higher taxes for North Cowichan and Duncan residents. The CVRD will charge an administration fee for its services. The facility was the bad idea of North Cowichan council led by Mayor Jon Lefebure. It was too much facility for an area with our population and we are paying the price for it now. Subsidizing the facility with more taxes is not fair to all of the privately owned gyms and ¿tness centres in town that it competes with. North Cowichan, in an effort to reduce costs to taxpayers, should shut down the services that can be provided by private businesses in a more ef¿cient manner. Don Swiatlowski

In my opinion: I support application

have spent my summers in Shawnigan my whole life. I was curious when I saw the “say no” signs, so I visited its website to ¿nd out what was going on. The comments on the site scared me. How could a company be proposing something that was going to do so much harm to our community and environment?” But I also realized there are two sides to every story, so I did my research to understand SIA’s proposal better. People on the Shawnigan Creek Protection Association site brought up the fact future generations needed to be considered. Everyone seemed to get caught up in the debate, forget the science and facts behind the application, and decided SIA was dumping contaminated soil directly into their drinking water.

Master carver picked to commemorate Duncanâ€™s 100th

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

eteran Native carver Calvin Hunt will create Duncanâ€™s centennial totem pole by late fall. City hall says the pole will join Huntâ€™s global reputation as a Kwaguâ€™l carver by reĂ€ecting the cityâ€™s mountains,

rivers, wildlife and people on the 100th birthday gift to Duncanites, and all Cowichanians. The poleâ€™s unveiling date and permanent location are pending, Councillor Sharon Jackson said. Hereditary chief Hunt is searching for the right log that will be crowned by Eagle, Spirit Guardian holding a canoe, William Chalmers Duncan, Thunderbird, Killerwhale and Chief Maker holding a Frog. The Âżgures are mostly based on stories of the

Cowichan Tribes people. The Totem Town masterpieceâ€™s back will depict Âżve salmon symbolizing the regionâ€™s original Âżve tribes. Tertiary lines will represent Âżsh weirs and water slashes evoking local mountains and waterways, staff said of the project headed by city hall and the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society. Jackson explained Hunt â€” who was chosen by the cityâ€™s tourism committe from seven artists

submitting proposals â€” is the right person for the job, despite not being a Coast Salish carver from Cowichan territory. â€œWe were looking for the most skilled carver that can tell the cityâ€™s story best, and I believe we found him.â€? City treasurer Peter de Verteuil said the price is of the totem will be $60,050. The city boasts about 40 poles dotting the core area.

Davey Derby nets big Äsh, big proceeds Catching up: Number of participants down slightly but there’s still enormous beneﬁts for the community Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Davey Derby experienced a slight decline in participants and proceeds from last year, but the fundraiser in Port Renfrew is still a big-time contributor to charities in the Cowichan Valley. The 12th annual Dave Nicholson Memorial Benevolent Fund event attracted 314 anglers, down from 357 last year, and netted proceeds of $25,000 compared to $30,000 in 2011. Organizer Audie Williams cited a couple of factors that made a difference in the time leading up to the derby. “The weather wasn’t that good,’’ he said. “And ¿shing reports weren’t all that good.’’ Conditions were a little foggy during the morning hours of the derby, but some ¿shermen wound up on Cloud Nine with their win-

despite several changes in the top 10 during the ¿nal day, hung on to the heaviest ¿sh weighed and

reeled in the top prize of an eight horsepower Yamaha motor supplied by the Mortgage Centre and Monti’s Boat Sales. “There was a lot of big ¿sh that were brought in,’’ said Williams. Wyatt Wratten, the winner of the junior category, received a rod, reel and tacklebox, and gained many admirers for his enthusiasm. “A smile is worth a thousand words,’’ said Williams. An interesting sidelight to the derby was the seven- to 10-yearolds present who elected a treasurer and a president and put together their own bullhead derby. “The kids organized their own event and we made sure we had prizes for them,’’ said Williams. The Davey Derby immediately dished out funds to the Cowichan Valley Basket Society and KidSport Cowichan. Colleen Fuller and Ron Erickson accepted the donations on behalf of their respective organizations with gratitude. RafÀe tickets sold for an inÀatable boat and motor donated by Jackson Marine raised $4,500 for KidSport. The big winner was Kellie Lackie, one of the Davey Derby’s tireless volunteers. Other proceeds from the derby will be dispensed during a day of donations.

ON STAGE

They were judged the best of the best earlier this year. And they are back this month for your enjoyment at PORTALS in the Islands Savings Centre. Deja Vu, an exhibition of work by the winners of this year’s Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show, opens with a special Aug. 8 reception

in the community centre gallery. John Robertson, Jan de Bree, Alison Irwin, Daniel Cline, Cathi Jefferson, Sharron Campbell, Laurel Hibbert, Rachel Twizell, Wilma Millette, Lambert Goldsmith, Karen Trickett and Susan Jean Whyte were the honourees from the spring showcase of Cowichan’s ﬁnest artwork.

They were the cream of the crop of an April 25-29 Fine Arts exhibit offered 279 works by 164 Cowichan Valley Arts Council members. Their work will be on display at a reception that runs from 7 to 9 p.m. and a show that continues until Aug. 14. For gallery hours and more information, visit cowichanvalleyartscouncil.ca/portals.

Hot temperatures and hotter music were the watchwords for this weekend’s SUNFest, which featured (clockwise from bottom left): the voice of Tara Oram; Lynda Watson cooling husband Doug with a spray bottle as temperatures climbed above 30C; Saturday headliner Dierks Bentley; dancing couples; and pounding rhythms of bassist Doug Phelps and the Kentucky Headhunters.

Jackson to headline Sunfest 2013 Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

our days of smokin’ country music and good times was crowned by Saturday night’s announcement country superstar Alan Jackson will headline Sunfest 2013 during the August long-weekend. The news came after Jason McCoy’s main-stage crew rocked the Cowichan Exhibition grounds — and just before Dierks Bentley’s band blew the packed site away under clear skies. Security was tight during Sunfest 10, with an effective combination of security guards and RCMP of¿cers patrolling the sprawling site looking for infractions, especially in beverage gardens. Despite a few ¿ghts quickly quelled, Cowichan’s

all-ages’ country town, populated by thousands of rockabilly fans, has been peaceful. Sunfest is no longer the rock ‘n’ roll festival launched by Greg Adams and his Wideglide Productions team a decade back at Providence Farm. Tickets, wristbands, and searches at the popular country-music blast twin stretches of orange metal fencing to corral folks into various sections to help control trouble. Parking and a city of RVs was neatly handled by a squad of volunteers. Figures about how many folks attended Sunfest, and the amount Wideglide will give to local charities and clubs, is pending. Sunfest continued Sunday with locals Jeff Ellis and Kelly Girvan, and ending with headliners The Kentucky Headhunters, and the Charlie Daniels Band.

Community garden growing

y the way, did you hear: • Carol Sim, co-ordinator of a group of volunteers called GardenPals at Duncan’s Jubilee Community Garden welcomed two classes from Khowhemun Elementary School in June to help pick fresh salad vegetables for the Cowichan Women Against Violence women’s shelter. During the garden’s eight-year history, nearly a thousand bags of organic vegetables have been grown, harvested and donated to community organizations such as Cowichan Food Basket Society, the Cowichan Intercultural Society and Duncan Manor. The food is produced in a small space in the communal section of the gardens, well tended by local volunteers. For info, call 748-0580. • Visions Art Studio Tour president Terry Harrison tells us their banners advertising the tour were taken on June 12 or 13. It is a 5’X5’ banner with white background and was attached to the chain link fence at the Tzouhalem Rd.-Maple Bay Rd. intersection, right across from the entrance to Queen of Angels School. Call 250-743-3862 if you have any information. • Shawnigan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb welcomed Gail Stroud as the new co-ordinator for the community policing station that opened in Mill Bay July 5. • Want to try ¿shing? Heather Leary tells us

the No Gear No Problem program from Go Fish BC! has made 20 ¿shing rods available to borrow at the Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery, 1080 Wharncliffe Road in Duncan or call 250-7465180. • Penelakut ¿lmmaker Steve Sxwithul’txw wasn’t shooting far from home July 21-22 as he was in Kulleet Bay near Ladysmith shooting the Stz’uminus Canoe Festival for an episode in The Warrior Games, his new television series for youth about aboriginal sports that will air on APTN and the Internet in the fall of 2013. • Brian Roberts, president of the Cowichan BioDiesel Co-op is happy to report a grant of grant of $8,500 from the Co-operators Foundation to support the creation of a B.C. Biofuel Network. The co-op provides 100 per cent bio-diesel made locally from recycled cooking oil to its 180 members. • The Mill Bay Marine Rescue Society is looking for letters of support as it applies for government funding to update search & rescue equipment and additional training for its volunteers.

Dynamic group of girls reaching for the top in gymnastics I’ll tumble for ya: Continued progression brings the possibility of attending an international meet for the ﬁrst time Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

uncan’s gymnastics club is called the Dynamics for a very good reason. A dynamic group of girls is currently wearing the Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club’s out¿ts. The competitive team of 24 girls collected a combined 216 medals and 192 ribbons during the six-month season. Each girl competed in anywhere from two to nine competitions all over the island, Lower Mainland and as far away as Kelowna. Most of the athletes live in the valley, but there’s also one from Metchosin and three more travel from Salt Spring Island. Sisters Rebeca and Trystinna Bailey, who are both going into Grade 6 at George Bonner School, entered nine competitions each. Rebeca, 11, is working hard on certain skills. “Basically to get the back hand spring perfected on the beam and whip on Àoor and the rest of my skills on bars with the grips,’’ she said. Trystinna, 10, won gold on the beam at the Campbell River Invitational. “I also won gold on vault at two competitions in a row at Garden City and Ogopogo,’’ she said. “There was girls from Alberta there.’’ Both are typical of the high performance and big-time results being achieved by the girls. Three members of the Dynamics quali¿ed for the B.C. Winter Games this year and two of the same athletes went to the Western Canadian Gymnastics Championships. The Dynamics won three team gold awards and one team spirit award at the various competitions. To what do the Dynamics attribute these great results? “Great coaches, a great new facility and dedicated girls,’’ said Karyne Bailey, a member of the board of directors. “We altered the new facility at the Island Savings

Youth Athlete of the Week

Centre through the addition of foam pits which allow the girls to safely train on higher level, more advanced skills. “Foam pits can be the difference between attaining a Level 4 gymnast versus attaining a national level gymnast coming out of your gym. Also, we are so fortunate to have the talent of three devoted, ¿rm yet soft, Russian coaches, and we are pleased to say that we have another new Russian women’s coach joining us in September.’’ With such great credentials, the club is looking at the possibility of attending its ¿rst international meet. Most likely is a Hawaiian meet in January that attracts athletes from Japan, China, the United Kingdom, United States and Canada. “It will be an excellent opportunity for our girls to get their feet wet on the international scene as well as at the local beaches,’’ quipped Bailey. Raising the necessary funds will be a huge feat, but the Dynamics are up for it. The girls’ combination of dedication and perseverance will help them to achieve the fundraising goal. An order of new equipment has just been received at the gym to keep the girls heading in the right direction. “With the new facility and the upgrades being complete, we realized it was time to invest in replacing some of our older, dated equipment,’’ said Bailey. Some mats were being held together with duct tape. A new tumbling Àoor, vault and vault runway, two new beams and mats galore will be welcome additions. The girls couldn’t wait to try it all out, attempting to do Àips while the Àoor was still being laid down. There’s more equipment the club would still like to replace. “As a not-for-pro¿t, we have to take it one step at a time, replacing what we can as the funds are available,’’ noted Bailey. A stellar year with Pro-D Day and Christmas camps and birthday parties helped create an equipment fund to replace worn-out pieces. Information about the team or any of the gym’s programs is available by calling the of¿ce at 250-746-0193.

Trystinna Bailey

1in BC

The younger of the Duncan Dynamics Gymnastic Club’s two Bailey sisters is exceptionally strong for a 10-year-old. Strong arms make Trystinna Bailey a natural at the vault and bars. Sister Rebeca is more of a beam and floor specialist. Like Rebeca, Trystinna started gymnastics in a recreational program at Shawnigan Lake. She moved on to the Lion’s Pride club in Victoria the next year and has now completed two seasons with the Dynamics. Trystinna competed this past season as a Level 2 Tyro. She could stay there again for another year, but the decision is ultimately up to head coach Olga Matagonova. Trystinna proved she can handle the pressure of the larger meets, winning gold on the vault at the Ogopogo competition.

Bulldogs grow up to become Raiders

Got a sports story? e-mail sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471

ATHLETICS

It was just like old times for the Cowichan Bulldogs. An alumni group consisting from left of linebacker Eliot Jones, offensive lineman Mike Watson, coach Joe Lobo, quarterback Archie Erigaktuk and linebacker JQ Lobo got to-

gether while gearing up for the Vancouver Island Raiders’ junior football game against the Victoria Rebels Saturday. “It wasn’t long ago I had to get down on one knee to talk to these guys,’’ joked Joe Lobo. “Now it’s the other way around.’’

Junior tennis action heats up with the weather Biondo tournament: Youth movement blocks out the sun and just happy to be playing on the grass courts Don Bodger

he weather couldn’t have been much hotter and it matched the action on the courts at the 24th annual Biondo junior grasscourt championships at the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club. The tournament started Thursday and wrapped up Sunday night. It got progressively warmer every day. “We’ve had scorching before, but this was pretty hot,’’ said tournament director Sheila Biondo. “This was every day.’’ Young junior tennis phenoms took it all in stride for the most part. “The juniors don’t complain,’’ said Biondo. “They just want to play on the grass.’’ Tennis B.C. approved the event as a champs tournament again and a total of 89 entrants braved the elements, comprising 108 matches. “We had some from Oregon, some from Washington and a family from Alberta that drove through the night to get here,’’ said Biondo. Room was made in the draw to compensate the two boys and one girl from Medicine Hat, who just left Alberta Thursday and started playing Friday. “That’s quite a sacri¿ce and then

go directly on the court,’’ said Biondo. Local players Nyles Moisson of Mill Bay, Cowichan Bay’s Johanna Hixson and Mary Cleverley of Duncan were among the top contenders in their age groups. Biondo was grateful to all the starters, Diana Jones and Charles Granger for their assistance and Yvonne and Mike Moisson and helpers who worked in the kitchen. Results of main draw ¿nals were as follows: Boys’ U12 singles: Braeden Ethier (Richmond) defeated Eddie Wu (Coquitlam) 7-6, 6-2. Boys’ U14 singles: Aaron Diemer (Brentwood Bay) defeated Christopher Chan (Victoria) 7-5, 6-2. Boys’ U16 singles: Austen Nguyen (Beaverton, Oregon) defeated Nyles Moisson (Mill Bay) 6-1, 6-0. Boys’ U18 singles: Austin Hoole (Victoria) defeated Moisson 6-2, 7-6. Boys’ U14 doubles (round robin): Winners — Chan and Diemer; Runners-up — Joshua Yang (Burnaby) and Matthew Wong (Coquitlam). Boys’ U18 doubles: Daniel Shen and Steven Shen (Coquitlam) over Nguyen and Hoole 6-2, 7-6. Girls’ U12 singles: Sasha Vagramov (Port Moody) defeated Jayden Nielsen (Port Moody) 7-5,

6-7, 6-4. Girls’ U14 singles: Vagramov defeated Sybella Garvin (North Saanich) 6-2, 6-3. Girls’ U16 singles: Anna Reutin (Beaverton, Oregon) defeated Johanna Hixson (Cowichan Bay) 6-2, 4-6, 6-1. Girls’ U18 singles: Vanessa Mans¿eld (Port Moody) over Giselle Bonney (Port Coquitlam) 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. Girls’ U14 doubles: Jayden and Alexandra Nielsen over Tiana Akdjelio (Coquitlam) and Garvin 6-3, 6-1. Girls’ U18 doubles (round robin): Winners — Georgia Tomsett (North Saanich) and Lucy Ewart (Brentwood Bay); Runners-up — Hixson and Mary Cleverley (Duncan).

owichan Bay Sailing Association’s Regatta is all about consistency. Reliable winds and an entry close to the same are the trademarks of the event each year. The latest edition of the event Saturday and Sunday followed the pattern. “It went real good,’’ said chair Stuart Dahlgren of the sponsor group UK Halsey Sailmakers. “We had close to our normal wind. We could have used a little more.’’ But the wind arrived at close to the usual time after Saturday’s 11:30 a.m. start, with the Doctor — as it’s affectionately called — kicking in eight minutes later. “Generally speaking, it’s one of the only places in the Gulf Islands you can guarantee wind on a hot day,’’ said Dahlgren. And it was hot, much warmer than it’s usually been on regatta weekend. “It takes a toll on you,’’ said Dahlgren, who skippered Westerly, a Santa Cruz 70, the largest boat in the entire Àeet of about 90 entries. “Hydration is important.’’

Andrew Leong

Sailors head into Cowichan Bay under full spinnaker aided by reliable winds. Many regulars keep coming back to the regatta to enjoy the racing and camaraderie as well as a few newcomers. Most are from the island and Lower Mainland, but Donald

K. Wills II’s Shoot the Moon from Seattle is always there. Most divisions ran two races Saturday and one longer race Sunday. The one-designs managed to get in up to ¿ve overall. The wind was OK for Saturday but “the wind was a bit spotty on Sunday,’’ said Dahlgren. Overall division results were as follows: Multihull division — 1. Bad Kitty (Ron Tomas/Bob Davis), 2. Drum (Andy Robinson/ Doug Thibodeau), 3. Geneva (Eric Pesty). PHRF 1 63-117 division — 1. Baaad Kitty (Ben Power), 2. Radical Departure (Andre Wojcieszek), 3. Mad Max (Micah van der Heide). PHRF 2 123-183 division — 1. Fetish (Dave Richardson), 2. Imp (Greg Slakov), 3. Saltheart Foamfollower (Jeff Rodenberger). PHRF 3 186-321 division — 1. Flight (Brian Robinson), 2.

Tough way for Calder and Frandsen to end rowing careers Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

The Brentwood College connection entered in the men’s coxless pair rowing competition couldn’t quite deliver on its Olympic swan song. Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen, the defending

silver medalists from 2008 in Beijing, went into the ¿nal at London 2012 full of con¿dence but missed the medals and ¿nished sixth. It was a tough pill for the Brentwood grads, who have been in a combined seven Olympics, to swallow. “My heart goes out to them,’’ said Brentwood Head of Rowing Brian Carr. “They tried some

new methods of training. “They were the strongest they’ve ever been in their entire lives. They were ¿tter and stronger than they were four years ago. Unfortunately, there were some crews that were just faster on that day.’’ Even though Calder and Frandsen would have liked to go out on a high note, “their legacy is well-

established in Canadian sports history,’’ said Carr. Duncan’s Michael Braithwaite and Kevin Kowalyk of Winnipeg ¿nished sixth in the B ¿nal of the men’s double sculls.
