he Trans-Canada Highway was closed for two hours Sunday night, as North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP dealt with a distraught man on top of the Silver Bridge south of Duncan. Police arrived on the scene just before 9 p.m. after a report of an emotionally unstable man who was on top of the bridge and under the inÀuence of alcohol. “The male was sitting on top of the bridge, looking over the edge and throwing objects at the people below,’’ Andrew Leong according to RCMP Cpl. Greg Pask. “Upon arrival of police, the male got Fire department members exup and started walking on top of the tend a ladder toward the Silver Bridge to rescue a distraught bridge.’’ Police convinced the man to sit down man. until a ¿re truck ladder could be used to get him down. The North Cowichan South End Fire Department attended with a ladder truck, but the man still refused to come down. An RCMP crisis negotiator arrived on the scene and managed to get him to come off the bridge after speaking with him for several minutes. The man was taken to Cowichan District Hospital to be assessed. He was not injured and no charges are pending.

Olympic bronze medal glory overwhelming for Zurrer Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

mily Zurrer has received an Olympic bronze medal with her Canadian soccer teammates after all. There was some doubt about whether the valley soccer star and teammate Robyn Gayle would be awarded medals at the London 2012 games after Canada beat France 1-0 on Thursday. But that’s all been cleared up now. “Because her and Robyn Gayle were initially on the roster, they got medals,’’ explained Zurrer’s sister, Annie, who was in London with mom Leslie to watch the Canadian soccer

team’s glorious run. “They didn’t get to go on the podium, but they got their medals. Em didn’t think they were going to.’’ Emily Zurrer missed the Olympic tournament due to a hamstring injury but was at the games to provide support for her teammates. She was also in uniform and joined the celebration on the ¿eld after the bronze-medal match. “We weren’t able to go on the podium, but we were presented with them after,’’ wrote Zurrer in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. “It’s been an incredible journey, full of many ups and a few downs, but this team was able to overcome so much and we are so proud and excited to bring a medal home for Canada. It was obviously a huge disappointment to not be

on the ¿eld, but this medal represents more than just the last two weeks. This team has worked so hard for many years and we have experienced some incredible highs and some incredible lows, but it has all been worth it for this medal hanging around our necks.’’ Zurrer is grateful to everyone at home for backing her every step of the way and this was no exception, even though she wasn’t playing. “I honestly cannot even express how thankful I am for all the messages,’’ she indicated. “The support I have gotten not only the past few weeks but throughout the years has been insane and I feel so blessed. I can’t wait to bring the medal home to Canada and the Cowichan Valley.’’

Water patrols keeping Shawnigan and Cowichan Lakes safe during the busy summer season Frequent patrols of Shawnigan Lake and Cowichan Lake are keeping the waters safe during the busy summer season, with charges issued to a few offenders. The RCMP South Island Integrated Marine Unit conducted patrols on Shawnigan Lake during the early afternoon and late evening hours July 27 and 28. Members checked to ensure boats were in compli-

ance with the Canadian Shipping Act, being operated in a safe manner and properly licensed. A total of seven charges were issued to boaters and 41 warnings. There were two drug seizures made while members responded to a break-and-enter at a waterfront shed and towed two boats to shore that had mechanical difﬁculties. One of the boats was discovered broken down at 10:30 p.m.

“We’ve done some random night stuff this year because we’ve had people complaining because of noise on the water,’’ said Shawnigan Lake RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb. “Most are compliant. That weekend was a little higher than usual (for charges). Most are happy to see us on the water.’’ — Don Bodger

Cowichan retiree remembers 40 years of keeping the peace Soldiered on: Duncan retiree saluted for decorated career Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

t.-Col. Paul Philcox is one of the highest-ranking retired Canadian soldiers in Cowichan. After reading his resume, one’s tempted to salute Philcox when he strolls in to Duncan’s White Spot for an interview about his 40-year career in the Canadian Army. “That’s not necessary,” said the affable Philcox, who looks a bit like Canada’s late giant of journalism, Peter Jennings. But Philcox’s long service stretch, that earned him and 100,000 other Canucks a 1988 Nobel Prize for Peace, also resembles Britain’s legendary Lt.-Col. T.E. Lawrence — Lawrence of Arabia — after hitches in the Middle East and, most recently, Afghanistan. He even visited Lawrence’ former home at Clouds Hill, ruins at Petra, and climbed an Egyptian pyramid. The difference, minus height and eccentricities, is Philcox survived to tell about his career, and he has 18-karat gold dog tags to prove it. “All foreign postings I liked because you’re doing your job; any operation is interesting,” said Philcox, 65, who was shot at and rocketed, but never hit. “I got shot at more in the Middle East; it was almost a daily event. “But I enjoyed the job in the Middle East. I didn’t particularly like Israel; the people weren’t very nice, they’re aggressive.” With active service over, he can discuss his work between the UN’s front lines in Israel and Syria, Lebanon (1985-86), to National Defense HQ’s cutting-edge leading the Armed Forces Training Technology Exhibitions (1982-85). And before six months in Bagram, Afghanistan in 2005 with the International Security and Assistance Force Land Liaison, Philcox helped engineer and name Canada’s Badger tanks (1986-90); led the British Columbia Regiment (1996-99); was 1991 to 2001 aide-de-camp to three Lieutenant Governors of B.C.; and was Vancouver Police Department’s Àeet manager (1994-2004) after his ¿rst retirement. He also has the Queen’s Golden and Diamond

Thieves target Chemainus Legion

Cowardly act: Crooks damage building, crack the safe, and steal the pull-tab machine Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

Andrew Leong

George Hebbert works on a 1904 George White portable steam engine, built in London, Ontario at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre’s presentation of A Celebration of Steam on Sunday.

hemainus Legion members are still reeling from a recent burglary that damaged their building, and saw their safe cracked and their pull-tab machine stolen Aug. 6. “It is unfortunate the people involved in this occurrence would target a Legion when members and staff are trying so hard to keep this veterans’ club a vital community participant,” Chemainus Legion brass says in a statement after the 11:36 p.m. theft. “This Legion has donated thousands of dollars, and hundreds of volunteer hours, assisting seniors, youth groups

and other community groups, through our meat draws, bingo, and poppy campaigns. Ultimately, the cost is to the community this Legion supports.” The RCMP is investigating the heist — discovered Aug. 7 — during which several of the Legion’s doors were pried, and its security system disabled, allowing the thefts that included meat from the kitchen. “They also broke into the Keno machine, and even stole pennies for the kids’ Christmas fund,” said Legion Branch 191 spokesman Mike Beggs. RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said the ransacking saw the pull-tab lotto machine ripped from the wall and taken, and cash stolen from the safe. Beggs declined to say how much money was lifted from the safe.

Mounties are examining the scene’s ¿ngerprints and video surveillance. “Due to the extent of damage, it is apparent whoever was responsible was inside the business for some time,” Stuart noted. “It’s also likely a vehicle was used to move the stolen property.” Exact value of the damage, and the theft overall, were unavailable but Beggs pegged the claim at “several thousand dollars” as the Legion faces a $1,000 insurance deductible. Beggs saluted folks at Victoria Hyundai who are raising money to help pay the Legion’s costs. Information about the theft can be con¿dentially reported to the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250748-5522.

The core should buck up and then move on Cowichan Sportsplex: Tax burdens and regional recreational formulas beside the point So, yet again, it appears the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s inability to equitably fund recreation will ¿nd another ground to do battle upon. The Cowichan Sportsplex is the latest facility to — predictably — come, cap-in-hand, to the CVRD asking for a commitment of annual funding. It says this cash will allow it to keep its doors open inde¿nitely while saving for necessary maintenance and repairs. We could dedicate our ink to discussing the continued burden being dumped on the taxpayer and the need for directors who understand the value of the Don’t deÀect ability to say “No.” We could take issue with the Sportsthe real quesplex society for building something tion here with beautiful and worthwhile that it clearly did not have the ability to sustain. debates Or we could do what the directors will likely do and spin countless scenarios of who should be in and who should be out when it comes to paying for this excellent community asset. But we’re a little sick of framing every question in the context of familiar axe-grinds like regional recreation and spending control. Let’s talk about this one in terms of what is actually being asked for: somewhere between 30 cents and $1.50 a year from your household to keep the Sportsplex operating. We would say that for residents of the greater Duncan area that would be money well-spent. We would say that for residents north of Chemainus, west of Paldi and south of Cobble Hill it would be nothing more than a donation to the good health of your neighbours. Ask the areas in between if they want to be on board, accept their answers and fund the Sportsplex accordingly. Then move on to the next debate. Deal with this reality and ¿gure out the big picture issues elsewhere.

We say:

Zurrer may have been injured and unable to play in the Olympic tournament, but she was still a big part of the team in the lead-up to the games and deserved to share in that success. She’s a great valley ambassador!

Medal magic ensues for Emily Zurrer, right, and Melanie Booth of the Canadian women’s soccer team.

A serving of placenta doesn’t sound too appetizing Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

How about a little placenta in your pizza? A dash in your soup? A layer in your lasagna? Wait, placenta? Yes, mothers are now eating their own placenta after giving birth. The subject totally sickens my husband and he won’t even allow me to talk about it in front of him. So I decided to write a column on it. Even though most cultures consider eating human body parts just a teensy bit taboo, I recently discovered it’s becoming common for women to seek the health bene¿ts of consuming the afterbirth. I wouldn’t consider it myself. Believe me, there wasn’t a whole lot of bonding with what my maternity doctor called the “ugly twin brother,” but the weird, the

peculiar, taboo kinds of things always get my interest. So why and how? Mammals eat their placentas to help their mammary cells eject milk for the newborn. OK, but unlike the hit song The Bad Touch, we don’t have to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. Like I said before though, lots of families are doing it. “I’ll have to admit when Kathryn Hahn gave birth to her baby in the movie Wanderlust and then served up the placenta for dinner afterward, I looked away and felt my stomach curdle up to my throat,” wrote Discovery Fit & Health writer Sara Novak. It’s called placentophagia. And practisers push the placenta does wonders for staving off postpartum depression as well as replenishing lost nutrients, and helping the uterus contract after birth. Get this; I even found a webpage with

recipes. Let me indulge you. A placenta cocktail. Or, maybe you’d prefer an after birth spaghetti or stew? There goes my appetite for the day and my apologies if I scared yours away too. When I ¿rst began pondering people’s choice to eat the placenta, I recalled my mom talking about seeing bags of them in the hospital when she worked as a cleaner. Now this goes way back, my mom con¿rmed a couple nights ago on the phone, “but that’s how I knew how many babies were born on the maternity ward that night.” They’d slap a piece a black tape on the Àoor in the birthing rooms and bags of placentas in clear bags would line up down the tape line. That made me wonder — and I guess my mom’s been curious all these years too — what happens to the discarded placentas?

Where do they go? It could make for one extremely disturbing discovery for a dumpster diver. Or, maybe they’re stashed away for some kind of government-run science experiment. Whatever happens with a mother’s placenta, whether the choice is made to save it for stew, simply to have a quick boo after it’s emerged, or maybe it’s altogether like it was for my husband and I, ‘oh my, there it is and I’m looking away now,’ regardless, it’s a pretty cool thing. It is after all the ‘tree of life.’ Bon appétit. Ashley Degraaf is a News Leader Pictorial reporter who writes here monthly while on maternity leave.

Cowichan deserves its own unique federal status

More talk failing to clear the smoke on backyard burning

Dear editor I take issue with your editorial opinion of Aug. 1 that “If the numbers work, boundary shufÀe OK here” — that whether Cowichan Valley’s future is linked to Nanaimo or throws its lot in with Sooke “is six of one, half-dozenof-the-other choice.” You are right about one thing, though, that Cowichan Valley citizens should make a conscious choice about our collective future either as a mere commuter suburb of the Greater Victoria region, or as a vibrant contributing factor in the mid-Island economic community. Straddling the Malahat is an uncomfortable place for any politician to represent as recent provincial MLAs of the former riding of Malahat-Juan de Fuca found because of the many differing community interests on either side of that geographical divide. However, the criterion for determining boundaries in addition to providing provincial population equality requires consideration “of other human and geographic factors… in order to respect communities of interest.” Surely in 2012 the Cowichan Valley has arrived (it’s now represented as such in the provincial legislature) with its own unique community of interest in the mid-Island economy being a true civic centre sustained by signi¿cant capital infrastructure giving us VIU, E&N rail modernization, city and Highway One improvements and attracting investment and entrepreneurial activity. Let’s position the Cowichan Valley with a strong self-con¿dent vision of the future with its own political voice federally by making the Cowichan Valley a de¿ned and unhyphenated constituency in Ottawa. Everything else is just a numbers game! P.A. Gates

Fire guts Crofton home Charlotte Street: Pot of rice left on the stove the cause Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

pot of rice accidentally left on the stove is the suspected cause of Sunday’s ¿re that heavily damaged a two-storey home in Crofton, North Cowichan’s assistant to the ¿re commissioner says. Rob Clark reckoned the blaze caused about $300,000 in ¿re and extensive smoke damage to the home.

It also killed a dog, a cat, and other family pets, he noted. The ¿re at 1566 Charlotte Street was battled by members of Crofton’s volunteer ¿re hall, assisted by Chemainus ¿re¿ghters, News Leader Pictorial lensman Andrew Leong said. No injuries happened during the 1:20 p.m. ¿re that erupted when the residents were not home. No other homes or buildings were affected by the ¿re. The home is insured, Clark said.

Entertain the kids by stepping back to nature indoors Review: Chemainus Theatre’s Animal Tales will entertain your little ones Maeve Maguire

News Leader Pictorial

cheeky sparrow, a vain Spanish butterÀy, and a cocky high-jumping grasshopper are just a few of the characters who will delight you at the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s Kidzplay Animal Tales. Artistic Director, Mark DuMez, selected Animals Tales, which he wrote and starred in when it was ¿rst staged in 2003, in celebration of the theatre’s 20th anniversary season. DuMez, who is directing the play this time around, has two young children and explained why he enjoy’s the playfulness of kids’ theatre. “Kids’ ability to adapt and bend convention is so wide; they make a willing audience. You have a bright palette of choices to work with. That’s been the case for this show for sure.” Animal Tales weaves together adaptations of classic tales by Aesop, Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Anderson, while two captivating characters help us transition between stories. Ella Simon plays a naturalist who is searching for a unique bird she calls the Passer Domesticus. Simon is captivating and slipped smoothly into her various characters, adopting a different accent for each.

The crowd favourite seemed to be Bonita the Spanish butterÀy, whose Spanish accent was hilarious, even though it wasn’t perfect, which was part of the charm. Stefano Giulianetti played the sparrow clown, among other things, and his 14 years in professional acting was obvious with his easy nature interacting with the crowd. He is a tall man, whose stature could frighten the smallest of audience members, but Giulianetti was a master at knowing how loud his lion should roar and how high is Junebug should jump. His comedic timing with the sparrow was mostly spot on. A simple set, designed by Marshall McMahen, with lighting designed by Mike Bowen, was all these two talented actors needed to change quickly into vibrant costumes designed by Michelle Lieffertz. There were only two glitches when the sparrow’s magnifying glass twice tried to upstage the actors; Giulianetti deÀected these distractions with grace and humour. Audience participation was limited but for one lucky audience member who was asked to judge the Royal Jumping Contest between the grasshopper, the Junebug and a very springy Àea. A nice touch at the end of the play: the audience members were invited to ask the actors questions and meet them

Andrew Leong

Ella Simon plays a naturalist, while Stefano Giulianetti plays the sparrow clown — among other things — during Chemainus Theatre Festival’s Animal Tales in the lobby afterward. If you’re looking for a pleasant distraction for children four to 10 years old, Animal Tales will do the trick.

Aumen takes off from the pack during restart in stock car feature

SPORTS WATCH

Cody Aumen is getting to be a big wheel at Western Speedway for a young guy. Aumen was back in the spotlight — no doubt inspired by big brother Scott — during Fan Appreciation Night at the Victoria track Saturday.

Aumen came through with the victory in the 35-lap Island Stock Car feature event. A red flag came out on lap 18 after a car caught fire. On the double file restart, Aumen got the best jump and took over the lead quickly. He never looked back.

Maegan Kuruvita: Rigourous training and fundraising leads up to Azerbaijan trip

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

aegan Kuruvita is going to Azerbaijan to experience a lot of pain and hopefully some joy. Next Tuesday, the 17-year-old Cowichan Secondary School student is entering the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles 2012 Cadet World Championships in Azerbaijan’s capital city Baku after winning the 65 kilogram class at the Canadian team tryouts in April at the FILA (International Federation of Associated Styles) Amateur Wrestling World Championship quali¿ers in Fredericton. Kuruvita’s mother, Tracey Morrison, is impressed by what her daughter has achieved. “It’s huge because she’s the only one from B.C. who quali¿ed,’’ she said. “It doesn’t happen everyday.” Morrison described the rigourous training Kuruvita is enduring to prepare for her matches in Baku. “She trains at least two or three hours a day. She’s working really hard. Wrestling is a winter sport and the world championships are happening in the summer so it is tough.” Kuruvita’s coach, Nick Zuback, is volunteering his time and his garage space to help Kuruvita practise for the international event. “The school gym is under construction so Nick threw a few mats down on his garage Àoor,” Morrison said. Zuback is excited to see Kuruvita’s hard work paying off. “It’s nice to see how far Maegan has come because she’s wrestled with me since she started in Grade 7, ¿ve years now.” Morrison is grateful for the exceptional coaching Zuback has provided Kuruvita and other Cowichan Valley kids. “Nick Zuback is a phenomenal coach. You can tell he’s a good coach by where Maegan is. We have wrestlers who come from Victoria and Nanaimo just to wrestle with our club.” Due to the cost of travel and accommodation, Morrison and Zuback will not be joining Kuruvita in Baku. They held hot dog sales and a car wash to raise money, they received a $500 Saunders Family Foundation cheque, and local gym owner Joel Rayne let Kuruvita train for free, but this barely begins to cover her costs. Morrison said she took out a loan to cover Maegan’s travel but couldn’t afford to send anyone else. “This trip cost us $6,000 with coaches and doctors, just for Maegan. Every Canadian child going has to pay that. We just paid

Maegan Kuruvita’s intense training has her well-prepared for the upcoming world cadet wrestling championships in Azerbaijan.

$3,000 for nationals in Fredericton in April, and that was even a huge commitment. I’ve looked everywhere for funding and this year there isn’t any because of the Olympics.” They’re hoping to get other sponsors and additional funding from a foundation in the U.S. that supports Canadian arts and athletics. Morrison knows Kuruvita will be ¿ne without her in Baku. “I’m not worried because she’s with the Canadian team. She’s got a pretty good head on her. She doesn’t let her nerves get to her. She doesn’t get stressed out or worked up. She knows what she needs to do to get the job done.” The Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club will start programs again at Queen of Angels School in September. The club is hosting the 2013 Provincial Wrestling Championships from Feb. 29 to March 2. Contact Zuback at nzuback@hotmail.com for information about the club or Morrison at tmorrison@lighthousemortgage.ca to help with Kuruvita’s campaign.

eaching an elite level of swimming requires special talent like the Duncan Stingrays’ Natalia Garriock and Laura Kissack. The two made their mark during July by attaining some very strong results. Garriock was the lone Stingray at the B.C. AAA long course championships in Richmond and de¿nitely made her presence felt against older and more experienced competition. “It was good,’’ she said. “I just aged up to 16 and over. I liked it. I still made ¿nals and things.’’ Garriock had a particularly interesting time in the 50-metre freestyle. She tied for 10th place with a swimmer from West Vancouver after both posted identical times of 28.76 seconds. A swim-off for a particular placing isn’t uncommon. But the swim-off resulted in another dead heat, with both at 27.91. “Ten minutes later, we had to re-swim it,’’ said Garriock said. Both were pretty exhausted by then and Garriock ¿nished 0.04 seconds back. Garriock still achieved four personal best times as well as two Duncan Swim Team records. The 100 Ày brought a best time for Garriock in the 15 to 17 age category of 1:05.33 that surpassed her own record of 1:06.60 from July of last year. “It was a second off a senior national time which is what I was going for,’’ she said. Garriock also beat sister Tamara’s club record in the 200 Ày from June 2009 with a swim of 2:36.60. Tamara’s previous mark was 2:38.09. “It’s probably my favourite meet, AAAs,’’ said Garriock. “Everyone’s trying to ¿ght for the podium.’’ Garriock and Kissack were then among the 10 Stingrays in the King July Invita-

tional meet hosted by the Seattle/Tacoma King Aquatic Club. Garriock ¿nished with four personal bests and Kissack had ¿ve. There were more than 750 swimmers in the event from all over the Western United States and Canada. “It was exciting for our young swimmers to be able to race against all new competitors and gain extraordinary experiences that cannot be had when we race in our backyard,’’ noted Stingrays’ coach Leanne Sirup. Rosie Lee, 14, put four personal bests on the board and entered one new event, the 400 free. Jessica Castle, 9, improved in all her events and made a ¿rst-time attempt at the 50 free. Oliver Castle, 11, Cecilia Johnson, 13, Megan Lewis, 11, Desirae Ridenour, 12, and Savanah VanNieuwkerk, 12, achieved personal bests in all but one event. Chelsea Langelo, 21, was only two events short of a perfect slate of personal bests. Jessica Castle posted a regional 10 and under AAA qualifying time in the 100 back, Oliver Castle made the 200 back standard for the provincial 11 years AAA and Kissack reached Canadian age group qualifying status in the 1,500 free. Kissack went right to the Canadian age group championships in Calgary with nearly 1,600 swimmers from 172 teams all over Canada in attendance. She raced a total of ¿ve events and achieved two personal bests. That was remarkable since it was her third competition in three weekends. “This was an excellent summer of growth for Laura and for the rest of our team,’’ noted Sirup. “The swimmers were exposed to many different racing opportunities and all did the Stingrays very proud with how they handled themselves, evident by the numerous personal bests achieved.’’

New Islanders’ coach seeking team identity

Rugby players in national test

Working it out: Prep and main camps the start of the process

Colourful moments: Gold and bronze medals for teams with a Cowichan connection

Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

rent Brandvold is beginning the process of putting his own stamp on the Kerry Park Islanders. The new coach of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team is using his considerable playing experience to formulate a plan for the team through prep camp sessions and main camp that runs Friday through Sunday at Kerry Park Arena. “This is my ¿rst opportunity at this level,’’ said Brandvold, 36. “Hopefully, things can go well. “That’s why the prep camp is good. it lets me see a lot of the players from last year. There’s about 50 skaters and eight goalies so it’s a pretty good turnout. “Obviously, the main camp is where I need to pick the guys that are going to be on the squad.’’ Some of the Islanders’ holdovers not in prep camp will just be coming onto the ice for Brandvold to get a ¿rst look. “What I’ve seen in prep camp, there’s a lot of good forwards,’’ he said. “We might need a bit of help on defence. “It’s not mandatory to come to the prep camp. It’s just a good little skate to get the guys going.’’ Brandvold has Jackson Jane as a holdover in goal and will be seeing what

develops for a back-up in camp. Brandvold has a wide and varied hockey background. He played his minor hockey in Smithers before going into the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League with the Golden Rockets and spending three years in the old Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League with Quesnel and Fernie. After that, Brandvold went to Mount Royal College in Calgary and the University of Lethbridge. He had stints in Texas at Corpus Christi and Austin of the Central Hockey League before a brief stint with the Victoria Salmon Kings when he eventually called it quits from playing. Brandvold was an all-around defenceman, who could be creative and physical. He entered the coaching ranks with a pre-novice team, progressing to Saanich and Juan de Fuca bantam teams for two years each and then the Victoria Racquet Club midgets. Brandvold heard enough about the Islanders last season to know discipline was a problem. “If discipline’s an issue, you could have the best team in the world and you’re not going to win a championship,’’ he said. “I want to try and minimize the stupid penalties. The game of hockey has changed. You can’t go around beating everyone up.’’ Brandvold still wants his team to be physical with the right blend of speed and skill.

key role was played by the Cowichan Valley and Shawnigan Lake School contingent in the national rugby championships at Sherbrooke, Quebec. Both the Under 18 and U16 men’s gold teams won the championships of their age-group competitions for the second year in a row. The U18 lineup included homegrown product Randall Barton and his Shawnigan Lake School teammate Haydn Evans. Wesley Wong carried the Cowichan banner on the victorious U16s. The U18s survived a tough semi¿nal against Ontario for a 25-19 win, but otherwise steamrolled the competition. The ¿nal brought a 40-16 rout of Alberta, as Evans scored one of the tries. B.C. opened the tournament with 36-5 and 55-0 routs of Ontario-2 and Newfoundland, respectively, last Wednesday. Thursday games went in the books as a 68-0 rout of Manitoba and 27-0 shellacking of Nova Scotia before semi¿nal play Saturday put the team to the test. The U16 Blue men’s development team that included Cowichan representatives George Barton, Tyler Beselt, Brock Gowanlock and Cole Milne earned the bronze medal. The team crossed paths with the B.C. U16 Gold guys in the semi¿nal and lost 24-5. A 15-13 nailbiter over Ontario secured the division crown for U16 Gold. The B.C. Blues took the bronze medal in a 12-7 defeat of Ontario-2, with George Barton scoring the opening try. Cowichan’s Samantha Jory, Adrienne Saari, Ladysmith’s Kara Galbraith and Shawnigan Lake School’s Lizzie Adams all played for the U18 women, who won bronze with a 13-0 victory over Quebec.

The CVAC Jaguars track and field athlete, who’s going into Grade 10 at Cowichan Secondary School and turns 15 on Sept. 13, picked up a gold medal and a silver this summer. Smiley joined Chicago Bains, Hannah Cater of Oak Bay and Taylor Morton on a 4x100 metre relay team that set a B.C. Games record. Smiley also won silver in the 100 with a great run and added fifth in the 200. “I always did track and field with school,’’ said Smiley, who’s been with the Jaguars for two years. She spent five years with the Duncan Dynamics Gymnastics Club that really helped with her strength and power. “For a couple of years I did both,’’ said Smiley, who’s still coaching in gymnastic camps. view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

Family ties: Brother and sister from Victoria prevail in tennis tournament because Jennifer taught Jared everything he knows Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

ho says brothers and sisters can’t get along? Victoria’s Jared and Jennifer Martin have formed a dynamite combination on the tennis court. They moved up to claim the A ¿nal title after winning the B last year during the Kay Wilson Memorial triple knockout mixed doubles tournament at the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club. Carolyn Goff, who formed the winning A event team last year with Geoff Bourne, settled for second this time with partner Alden Eakins. The Martins beat Goff and Eakins Sunday afternoon in straight sets 7-5, 6-1. The B event crown went to Kim Ott and Jamie Prsala of Victoria by virtue of

a 6-0, 6-2 victory in the ¿nal over fellow Victorians Karen Taber and Bill Bradley. In the C ¿nal, Fred and Denise Kwan of North Vancouver were 6-4, 6-1 winners over Wayne LaCarte of Surrey and Wendy Campbell. The maximum 32 teams participated in the event that ran from Friday afternoon through Sunday. “They’re from all over and all age groups,’’ said tournament director Sheila Biondo. Players came from as far away as Oliver and Penticton to the Lower Mainland. With a limited entry, players had to act early to ensure their place. “It’s a tournament you need to or you don’t get in,’’ said Biondo. Players were subjected to another warm series of days for the tournament action. “Not quite as hot as the juniors, but nice,’’ said Biondo.
