Newly closed school ﬁnds its new future

Koksilah: Another door opens as school district preps to open unique student centre in trades training Don Bodger

Mountain bike trail riders have a deal with North Cowichan to develop trails on Maple Mountain. For the full story, see page 14.

he creation of the Koksilah Trades Training Centre is one of the innovative ideas emerging from School District 79 restructuring. Koksilah Elementary School may be officially closed this week, but the facility won’t be boarded up or the property sold. Work is ongoing to convert the school into a trades facility that will remain alive in September through the buzz of vibrant training programs. “This thing’s going to go gangbusters,’’ said Keith Chicquen, Cowichan Instructional Director for Vancouver Island University. “As a result of this type of re-purposing, something’s closing but something’s opening up,’’ said Ron Nunweiler, acting director of middle/secondary for School District 79. “I don’t think anybody’s more excited about this than the two of us,’’ said Chicquen. He bases his enthusiasm on three factors: the demand for trades, the location and the dual-credit component. It’s basically been two years of conversing between the two men in determining a site and putting the plan into action. During that time, the school district and VIU partnered on several programs that created opportunities for students in Grades 11 and 12 to participate in trades courses and apprenticeship programs under the dual credit system offered by the Ministry of Education. more on page 5

Poor sales mean RONA closes its Cowichan Commons store for good in October

Eleven shut across Canada: Cobble Hill outlet to remain open amidst corporate sweep Peter W. Rusland

he RONA store at Cowichan Commons is closing Oct. 6, the News Leader Pictorial has confirmed. A statement from RONA president Robert Sawyer explains the six-year-old Commons store is among three

in B.C., and eight in Ontario shutting due to being unprofitable. Sawyer’s plan, affecting North Cowichan’s branch, is to boost bottom lines by reducing administration, staffing, marketing and other costs. One despondent staffer said she’d been working at the Commons store for only a month or so, referring comments to her management. The store manager hadn’t returned Leader calls by press time. RONA’s Commons and Cobble Hill stores, plus two other franchises up-island, were sold in April 2011 by the valley’s McKinnon family

S’more the Merrier Available All Summer Long

The Cowichan Commons RONA store is closing. to the parent arm of the Quebec-based homeimprovement giant. Grant McKinnon said Thursday RONA’s

Cobble Hill store remains open. He was surprised about the news. “They did some renovations recently. “It’s unfortunate; there’s a lots of good staff there. My heart goes out to those people — some are our former staff.” His firm, Pacific Homes and Pacific Truss, still owns the Commons’ RONA building and property, and will continue leasing the site to Quebec-based RONA for five more years. That means RONA continues paying McKinnon’s company while trying to find a new tenant for the Commons site, he explained. more on page 5

UP FRONT

Don’t expect multiplex projectors any time soon

Don’t butter your popcorn yet about another movie theatre coming to Duncan. Acting on council’s recommendation — and its juniors council’s original recommendation — Geoff Millar, Economic Development Cowichan’s manager, explained last week he contacted several cineplex ﬁrms recently about bringing a a new ﬁlm facility

to the city. But scratching that investment seemed to be metro-Duncan’s relatively small population, and the presence of big cineplexes in Nanaimo and Langford, Millar signalled. “I told Mayor Phil Kent the EDC will send a report back to council,” he said, noting any potential cineplex location would be pure

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 3 speculation. “We’ve had two or three companies looking at (building theatres at) Duncan Mall and (possibly) purchasing the present (Caprice) cinema in downtown Duncan,” he said. Millar did not name the Calgary and Toronto-based ﬁrms he’s talking to.

Oh so many chances for some O Canada Around the valley: Tonnes of events to show some love for country come Canada Day

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

ant to show some love to your country July 1? Well, you’re in luck, as Cowichan’s got plenty of options for Canada mixers, each about showing pride during the nation’s birthday. Maple Bay

Canada Day at Maple Bay: celebrations start with the annual Quamichan Lake, Around the Lake Cyclathon. Riders gather at the new fire hall on Maple Bay Road at 9: 15 a.m. for a 9:30 a.m. start and will finish in time to take part in the parade, which starts at 10:30 a.m. “Take a look at the parade categories and celebrate with ‘Everything Canadian’: hockey sweaters, butter tarts, lacrosse paraphernalia, Beavers (planes or the four-legged variety),” says Maple Bay Community Association president Sheila Kitson. “The organizing has been done, the food ordered, the volunteers sought, applications made and approved, bookings secured, now the rest is up to you, try and remember where you put the flags away last year, dig in the dress-up box, raid the dollar stores, and be proud Canadians and display our Maple Leaf flag.” Andrew Leong/file The procession follows its usual route Hayden Plester, 10, sports red and white during last year’s edition of Maple Bay’s to the rowing club, where a flag raising Canada Day parade sponsored by the Maple Bay Community Association. ceremony takes place.

Participants can also expect a barbecue lunch with all the trimmings and cool prizes as well as a raffle draw. Oceanside fun also includes a bouncy castle, rowing machine, exhibits, and music by the Cowichan Valley Concert Band. And make sure to say a friendly ‘Hello’ to the junior sailors from the Maple Bay Yacht Club, who’ll be wandering about to recruit for their Learn to Sail program this summer. Duncan

Patriotic peeps can join Canada Day fun at Charles Hoey Park and the train station parking-lot-turned-sandlot as local group Over the Top Volleyball serves up its annual Beach Volleython starting at 11 a.m. Various local musicians are set to provide volleyball stars and shaggers and anyone else in the mood with tropical tunes starting at 6 p.m., courtesy local band Tropic Mayhem. They’ll play until about 8 p.m. when multi-instrumentalists Compassion Gorilla takes over on stage. Meanwhile, the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre is hosting its annual shindig starting at 10 a.m. and boasting live music, a flag ceremony, concession and more. Train rides are included in the $3 admission price and children two years old and younger are in for free, and promoters promise the train will be tooting its horn all day. That event will call it quits at 4:30 p.m. Folks are reminded not to bring fourlegged friends because of high volumes. Shawnigan Lake

The south-end celebration begins with a pancake breakfast at the Malahat Legion Hall on Shawnigan Mill Bay Road starting at 9 a.m. Following breaky, Legion members

will form a colour party before raising the Canadian flag and leading the crowd into ‘O Canada.’ A short parade leaves Cairn Park at 11 a.m., across the road from the Legion Hall, and travels to the Shawnigan Village, spilling into the Elsie Miles grounds. Kids can decorate bikes and wagons and participate in the parade alongside local dignitaries, organizations and businesses. Other features of the Shawnigan Lake Community Association sponsored event, running from noon to 3 p.m. include stage entertainment by pony club and other local groups, a petting zoo put on by the 4-H club, jousting and inflatable bouncers, fish pond games, local vendors and a concession. Cowichan Lake

Communities around Cowichan Lake are getting in on the fun with food and tunes, including Lake Cowichan’s usual mixer at 1 p.m. at Lakeview Park and lip-smacking birthday cake. The community’s most popular fixture, the fireworks celebration at Mesachie Lake, is in the works before a smattering of events take place at the ball field starting at 6 p.m., including multicultural theatre, dancing, storytelling, arts and crafts, food, face-painting, games and local folklore. Chemainus

Canada Day fun is being centred around Waterwheel Park starting at 11 a.m. and running until 3 p.m. The goods include pony rides, petting zoo, scavenger hunt, ‘The Wizard’ magician, and Doug the Dinosaur on stage, as well as good eats and treats, all thanks to the Chemainus BIA, Chemainus Valley Museum, and Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society.

Once Upon A Day, Cowichan movie honoured with a provincial marketing award

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

oly Cowichan! The Warm Land’s acclaimed musical promotional film Once Upon A Day: Cowichan earned a coveted 2012-13 Economic Development Marketing Award Tuesday in Vancouver. Local filmmaker Nick Versteeg — the $23,000 movie’s creator — and composer Eric Smith were to receive the glass trophy today from Geoff Millar, Cowichan’s economic

development boss. Valley taxpayers tossed some $15,000 into the creatively polished, 42-minute film trumpeting everything wonderful about the Warm Land. Once Upon A Day earned a standing-O during its February launch in the Cowichan Theatre. “It’s nice we can say, ‘This is an awardwinning film promoting Cowichan,’” an amped Millar said of kudos from cross-Canada judges with the Economic Development Association of B.C. The PR award salutes EcDev in towns with 20,000 population or more.

Versteeg’s slick flick comes in five- and 42-minute versions. “It features many familiar valley faces, including musicians Hope King and Ed Peekeekoot, carver Herb Rice, the Cowichan Consort Choir and conductor Robert Mari, music producer Zak Cohen and Cowichan Tribes’ Tzinquaw dancers,” the News Leader Pictorial’s Ashley Degraaf wrote, “along with fishermen, bakers, cooks, artists, golfers, hikers and kayakers all enjoying the beauty of Cowichan to the music of Beethoven’s Ode To Joy.” For copies, call Economic Development Cowichan at 250-746-7880.

Eric Smith is music director for Once Upon A Day, Cowichan, ﬁlmmaker Nick Versteeg’s tourism-marketing ﬁlm that won provincial honours this week.

Movement afoot to find new tenant

from page 1

Lowe’s, a U.S.-based homeimprovement chain “may look at the (Commons) site now. They’re better positioned to go head-tohead with Home Depot,” McKinnon said of RONA’s competitor just across the parking lot. He also foresaw a leap in loyal RONA business at Cobble Hill’s RONA.

But McKinnon’s crystal ball was economically foggy five years hence. “Things will be completely different by then.” Hopefully better, signalled Cowichan’s economic development boss, Geoff Millar. He was unaware of RONA’s coming closure, but concerned about losing major Canadianbased competition in the Com-

mons, let alone local jobs. Millar said he’d work with McKinnon and RONA to help fill the empty space — about 30,000 square feet — at the Commons. “There’s some food stores not in our market right now.” Millar recalled how RONA was the Commons’ first home improvement store, but an expired competition clause later let Home Depot move in.

Dual credit programs can be consolidated at Koksilah from page 1

Students who complete accredited courses at the post-secondary level while attending Grade 11 or 12 can receive credit at the secondary level as well. In addition, the school district pays the full tuition cost. Nunweiler pointed out 240 students participated in at least one dual credit course or program during the 2012-13 school term. VIU, the school district and Cowichan Tribes recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on educational programming, particularly in the area of trades and dual credit. “None of the private schools are offering anything like this,’’ said Chicquen. “It’s a unique partnership in the province. It’s exactly what a small community should be doing.’’ “All parties are intent on offering programs for our Aboriginal students and young adults to enable them to achieve a higher rate of graduation success as well as transitioning in post-secondary programs and careers,’’ Nunweiler pointed out. The Koksilah Trades Training Centre was established whenVIU and the district agreed to a 10-year term to operate the facility at the site. The hope, of course, is to eventually secure funding for a new trades facility. But the Koksilah site will serve the purpose quite nicely in the interim. “I believe we’ll actually outgrow this facility,’’ said Chicquen. “I think in the first five years we’ll outgrow this facility. Plans for establishing a facility in the new Cowichan Secondary School were considered, but, no one was willing to play the waiting game. “It’s still not at the top of the list with the ministry,’’ said Nunweiler of a new Cowichan secondary. “It’s not fair to students and to the business community for trained personnel in those particular careers.’’

Ron Nunweiler, left, and Keith Chicquen hail the new Koksilah Trades Training Centre as a great facility for the Cowichan Valley. The students are the big winners in advancing their desired trades careers and the location is rather prophetic. “When you look around, we’re in an industrial area,’’ said Nunweiler. Existing programs in heating, ventilation and air conditioning plus carpentry, residential building maintenance and repair, introduction to trades and hairdressing currently offered at several locations will be relocated to the new site. Plans are also underway to develop a welding and

training addition and have it ready to accommodate 40 students. Two sections of welding will be starting in the fall, including one that’s 100% Aboriginal and ties into grant funding. There’s also been discussions with Tribes, Chicquen said, to provide training for carpentry students to build Cowichan Tribes houses. “That could be very big and long-lasting,’’ he said. Some programs will transfer to Koksilah right away, with others to follow later in 2013. A grand opening of the

facility will be staged in the fall once everything is operational. “From VIU’s point, we’ve been looking at a place to consolidate our trades for many, many years,’’ said Chicquen. For every door that closes, another door conceivably opens. Nunweiler says the Koksilah example can change the future for some. “There’s a young Grade 7 student who’s saying, ‘yeah, I’m leaving this school and going to another school,’ but the odds are they might be coming back.’’

School family bids a last goodbye to ABG

A.B. Greenwell: Staff, students and extended school family mark school’s last days Tamu Miles

News Leader Pictorial

oubou’s A.B. Greenwell Elementary School saw its last end-of-the-year ceremony on the afternoon of June 19. Parents were treated to coffee and goodies in a festive atmosphere as students sang songs and received awards for unique and individual talents. Though the ceremony was tinged with sadness at seeing the school close, school staff and principal Jann Drake chose to approach the day in a positive light. “It’s more about moving on,” said Drake. “I didn’t want to go the closure thing.” Drake said she is one of the lucky ones who happens to be moving on as well. She will be principal at Palsson Elementary School starting in September, and is happy she will be working with many of the same students and their parents. “So that’s a comfort to me, and I think it’s a comfort to them,” said Drake. She added the parents most concerned were those who have children going into Grade 4 this fall who were not sure where their children would be placed following school restructure.

June 2006. When the school was built, Greenwell said there was some debate about what it would be named. “When they asked him (Archie) if he would allow them to have his name on it, he wasn’t going to accept, and (our family) talked him into doing it because of his grandkids and great-grandkids that would be coming along,” said Greenwell.

We wish you health, wealth and freedom

Canada Day assessment: how our country ranks in those things that are most important

ow do you measure happiness? Is it about health? Wealth? Freedom? The International Monetary Fund measures national wealth on a purchasing power per capita basis. Canada is sandwiched between Australia and Austria in 11th spot at $43,600. While we can’t spend like number three Singapore ($61,600) or number four Norway ($56,700), we are well ahead of the 94 countries at less than $10,00 a year, especially a place like the Democratic Republic of Thoughts to the Congo, at just $394. ponder this Our government spends $3,104 per person on health care, sandwiched Canada Day between France and Sweden at the world’s 12th highest rate. At 19.8 doctors per 10,000 population, we rank 62nd in the world. Cuba (at 67) and Greece at (61) are among the leaders. Freedom House is an American organization that ranks countries for their success in providing basic democratic human rights. Nine countries, including Syria and North Korea scored the lowest possible score of seven. They were among 47 classified as “not free.” Canada is “free” and scored a perfect ranking of one. Most of us will be spending Canada Day in or near Cowichan. We will not be thinking about health, wealth and freedom this Canada Day. We will be thinking about things like camping, and backyard barbecues and friends and family. We will be doing this because, relatively speaking, we can take our health, our wealth and our freedom for granted. But it is always worth pausing a moment to consider how important these things are and what we must do to maintain them. Enjoy your Canada Day.

The case for

This week the ﬁnal graduation ceremonies come to a close in the valley. The NLP will mark this in our next issue with what has become a tradition for us: the Grads to Watch edition. It is just a small example of the many ways the community steps up and makes a big deal of our graduating students. It’s great that we do. These kids are our future and they are marking a huge milestone.

So, are today’s teens poised to be ﬂush with post-grad success, or closer to being headed down the drain?

Life ain’t a series of Hallmark Facebook posts Jay Siska

News Leader Pictorial

’ve got a confession to make to all my Facebook friends. When you post those inspirational quote pages, 95-per-cent of the time I don’t even read them. Sure, I read a few — maybe a Bill Maher here, a Richard Dawkins there, even the odd Dalai Lama. But those ones about life, love, family, etc... I just keep on scrolling. Sorry. And it’s not just because I’m single, childless, and devoid of any religious or spiritual belief. Typical male-oriented sports memes, or a picture of Dirty Harry saying, “Make my day,” are all equally disposable in my eyes. No doubt all this is rooted in the transient nature of pop culture and most media these days, and the ADD way in which it is consumed by its audience.

Not much comes across as having any permanence, and thus importance. (In the interest of full disclosure, I’m just as guilty of ADD media consumption. When you post, “Dance like no one’s watching,” I’ve mentally left the room and am checking Twitter to see what insane thing the Iron Sheik just wrote). Google “inspirational” and the image results, for the most part, are like a visit to the “Extra-Cheese” aisle at a Hallmark store: “You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough,” and an endless crap-fest of similarly saccharine musings. I can’t identify with any of that. In fact, I think the things I do identify with aren’t so much inspirational per se, but are maybe better defined as a credo. “Always be closing” — Alec Baldwin’s (in) famous line from his iconic role in the film of David Mamet’s play GlenGarryGlenRoss — that’s inspiring to me. Not from a sales perspective, as I’m not a

This generation of parents makes far too much fuss about its kids — hovering, protecting, holding their hands through every life challenge all the while cooing about just how special they are. And in the meantime they are doing an abysmal job of preparing them for life outside the nest. Too much is made of what a big deal graduation is. The real big deal is actually what they do next.

COWICHAN LEADERS

salesman and I don’t literally need to always be closing, but from a personal drive perspective. Those three words synthesize an over seven-minute monologue into a pinpoint of focus. Succeed at what it is you do. No excuses. “Second place is a set of steak knives. Third place is you’re fired.” I can’t quote the quintessential line from the brilliant warehouse scene in Steven Soderbergh’s The Limey, because there isn’t one. Terrence Stamp’s character, Wilson (an ageing gangster), gets the hell kicked out of him and is unceremoniously tossed out onto the curb by a group of low-rent thugs. They leave, laughing and high-fiving. He stands right back up, dusts himself off, pulls a gun out of the back of his pants, and heads right back where he just came from without a word. Inspirational drive. Then there’s the lyrics to the song Never

Gonna Change by the Drive-By Truckers. On the surface, it’s a song about running contraband (not something I condone) but at its heart it’s a song of both fierce pride in the area where one was born, and an unmatched level of personal conviction. Drive. Personal conviction. This means something to me. But when you post that random flowery inspirational quote, how can I expect to have an emotional reaction to it — and understand its importance to you — especially when it’s one of two you’re going to post today and one of five on the week? The truth is out: I won’t and I can’t. Jay Siska writes monthly in the News Leader Pictorial. Reach him at jaysiska@hotmail.com.

Excuse me while I take a moment to appreciate this amazing place we all call home

It’s not the fault of the staff, or of the politicians, the fault is ours

Dear editor We need to stop blaming the professional staff or the directors of the CVRD for the large amount of tax dollars going to pay the salaries of the people who conduct the business of our regional district. We need to take responsibility for the votes we cast that allowed this to happen. We elected representatives to make decisions on our behalf. It is now apparent we have made some very poor decisions over the years and done little to correct our mistakes. We have some very talented and exceptional people working for us. What we don’t have is a clear understanding, at the corporate level, that they work for us. We pay the bills and that means we are entitled to both service and respect. The taxpayers would not be balking at the large bill to have the best possible staff, if the staff remembered who they work for. They work for every member of the Cowichan Valley Regional District equally. CAO Warren Jones needs to embrace this and foster this attitude throughout his team. The directors need to demand this and stop hiding behind Mr. Jones. The electorate needs to take responsibility for not clearly communicating to their representatives that this is not only expected, but required if re-election is what they want. No one complains about the cost of having the best. You don’t hear anyone whining about the cost of their winning race horse until that horse starts biting and kicking and has to be sent to the glue factory. While I do not condone any animal being destroyed or mistreated, I do condone putting down CAOs who bite the hand that feeds them. Call me cruel. Dara Quast

Little brother picked to play with Mario Dateline 1984: Bodger drafted to the NHL Ann Andersen

News Leader Pictorial

f you’ve been reading sports in the News Leader Pictorial during the past 30 years, you’ve been reading stories by Don Bodger. And the year after Don began work with the paper, he wrote about younger brother Doug’s selection in the first round of the National Hockey League annual entry draft. Chemainus product Doug Bodger, not quite 18, became the property of the Pittsburgh Penguins in June 1984 after being chosen ninth overall during formal proceedings at the Montreal Forum. Wrote Don: “The star defenceman with the Western Hockey League champion Kamloops Oilers was in attendance to meet with general manager Eddie Johnston and other Pittsburgh officials after the selection was announced.” Although expected to be picked by the Detroit Red Wings or Chicago Black Hawks because of his rating of seventh heading into the draft, hockey player Bodger told sports editor Bodger he was happy to go to Pittsburgh. “They’re lacking a lot on defence and they need some help. It’ll be good because I’ll get to step in and fit in pretty well,” he said. Following a disastrous season, noted sports editor Bodger, they had a brighter future with the pick of his brother and top selection Mario Lemieux.

Capsule Comments

he SPF number on sunscreens is a measure of how much UVB (sunburn-causing) radiation it blocks. Theoretically, a lotion with an SPF of 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays. An SPF of 30 blocks about 97%. If you have fair skin and burn quite easily, that extra 4% will provide extra protection. However, the important point about sunscreens is to reapply after swimming or if you sweat a lot. Weight-gain is one of the reasons people hesitate to stop smoking. However, the benefits of better heart health far outweigh the gaining of 5-10 pounds. Stopping smoking also lowers risk of diabetes. So if you are thinking of breaking the tobacco habit, don’t worry about gaining a bit of weight. You will be healthier in the long term. One good habit to get into during summer’s hot days is to drink water rather than sweetened soft drinks. One can of non-diet soft drink can contain sweetening products equal to up to 8 of those bags of sugar you find on restaurant tables. Water is a better choice to quench that summer thirst. The Heart and Stroke Foundation has a way to see how bad habits will affect the number of good years you have left. The loss in quality years of various bad habits were: physical inactivity: 4 years; poor diet: 3 years; excessive stress: 2 years; smoking: 2.5 years and excessive drinking: 2 years. It makes you think!

Mountain bikers riding high about Maple Mountain deal Hikers too: Stewardship group strikes deal with North Cowichan Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

mix-use hiking-biking trail, set for summer completion on Maple Mountain, won’t be the last route local stewards aim to build. Cowichan Trail Stewardship Society is dedicated to developing and maintaining what member Riley McIntosh’s release calls “amazing, well-constructed, safe, and authorized mixed-use trails within the working forests of the Cowichan Valley.” June 6 saw the CTSS sign a license of occupation with North Cowichan, allowing construction of a mixed-use trail on Maple Mountain. The first sanctioned trail, he says, will reposition an existing mountain biking/hiking trail off of private property. “This will allow users to enjoy a full-length route that’s legal, maintained, and 100% within the working municipal forest,” McIntosh said. CTSS is a member of the International Mountain-Bike Association, and members are stoked about this and future trail-building projects.

“The next trail will hopefully be a climbing trail, at a low gradient, from the Osborne Bay Road access to the top of Maple Mountain, allowing users to enjoy the forest, lengthen the overall ride, and avoid the difficult grind of the municipal forest service road,” McIntosh says. Another CTSS goal is ranking, signing and mapping the municipality’s hiking and biking trails. “This will allow visitors and locals alike to experience the many trails our valley has to offer more easily. “Mountain bike tourism is a growing piece of the tourism puzzle, injecting many millions of dollars into B.C.’s economy.” CTSS hopes to work with local governments to lay sanctioned, safe, sustain“This will allow able trails to enhance users to enjoy a Cowichan’s lifestyle, and at- full-length route tract visitors. that’s legal.” The stewards are staging a burger-andbeer fundraiser July 4, 7 p.m. at the Maple Bay Rowing Club (6735 Beaumont Ave.) where trail plans will be displayed. They hope to raise $10,000 that night toward trail work. Admission is $20. Donations welcome. Entertainment, door prizes, and more are also on tap.

Adams opens Great American Songbook

ARTISTS This is why I love Canada Every Thursday for a couple of years, upand-coming Victoria chanteuse Susannah Adams has joined veteran jazz pianist Nick Galichenko for an afternoon of exploring the Great American Songbook. The results of their collaboration will be showcased Sunday at the Crofton Hotel Pub

when Galichenko and his band, the Belmont Avenue Trio, perform with Adams in a repertoire inspired by jazz greats such as Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. Adams, who just turned 33, wins high praise from Pat Selman, organizer and driving force

behind the Jazz at the Crofton Hotel series. Selman calls her “a wonderful story-teller and an accomplished improviser.” The series runs every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. at the hotel, 1534 Joan Ave. in Crofton. Cover charge is $10. For information, call 250324-2245.

• Painter Lindsey-Lea Mercer has hung a bunch of colourful, imaginative works in downtown Duncan’s Old Firehouse Wine Bar. Subjects span fish, old cars, trees and people. Take a look. • Pete’s Flicks Picks: Rampart: Folks looking for a somewhat artistic, gritty look at corrupt cops and PTSD-numbed vets should see Woody Harrelson’s twisted drama. Rating: 6 badges out of 10. The Samaritan: This basically forgettable, violent tale sees ex-con Samuel L. Jackson trying to go straight, but getting caught doing a big-time grift.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE BC Help Tomorrowâ€™s Families Todayâ€“ leave a gift in your will. legacy@rmhbc.ca

Chow, Albert Kim May 1st, 1964 â€“ June 20th, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Albert. He was predeceased by his father Wai Hong (Hank) Chow in 2004. Lovingly remembered by his mother Kam Chui (Kim) Chow; his daughter Trinity; his four siblings; Wanda (Chuck) ChowLindberg; Anda Chow; Roland (Corinne) Chow; Linda Chow. His nieces and nephews Thomas Chow, Kristen Lindberg, Garrett Chow (Charis), Jonathon Chow, Kascia Chow, and Cameron Chow. Also lovingly remembered by many, many other relatives and friends. Albert was born and raise in the Cowichan Valley on May 1st, 1964 â€“ the year of the Dragon - where he worked at the family store and graduated from high school. He travelled and worked at various jobs before settling back in the Cowichan Valley and eventually became the head chef at Kim Wahâ€™s (the family restaurant). After Kim Wahâ€™s he worked at various jobs and eventually got a position as a chef at the Sunridge Senior Complex on Bundock St. where he was employed up to his passing. He was also the proprietor of the Time Tunnel on York St. in Duncan â€“ a video arcade and pool hall. This was a perfect match for his outgoing personality and it was there that he found his passion for billiards and became a selftaught cue maker. On Nov.19th, 2000 he became a father...his daughter Trinity was born - the light in his life. Albert loved to sing and could belt out tunes from all ranges of the rock music spectrum â€“ from Bobby Darrinâ€™s Beyond the Sea to Billy Idols White Wedding. He loved to cook and spent time with Family and Friends. He was generous to a fault and had a great sense of humour, and oh so quick to make friends...he saw the best in everyone. As a teen he was deeply involved in sports â€“ participating in rugby, volleyball, track... just to name a few. As a young man he got heavily into cycling and worked in bike shops in Duncan and Vancouver. Albert will be sorely missed by his Family and friends. He has left a legacy of laughter and will never be forgotten. The Family of Albert would like to thank all the professionals who have helped them during this trying time. Many thanks to other Family members and Friends for all their thoughts and support. A viewing for Family and Friends will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel at 187 Trunk Rd., Duncan, B.C. on Friday June 28th, 2013 from 4pm to 7 pm. All are welcome. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Cowichan Community Centre Gymnasium, 2687 James St., Duncan, B.C. on Saturday July 6th from 1pm to 4pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Trust for Trinity Chow at the CIBC Branch in Duncan. Online condolences may be offered at www.sandsduncan.ca SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212

Joe began working as a Log Buyer for BCFP in the mid sixties. He was hired by Herb Doman and became Vice-President of Doman Industries, where he enjoyed a very successful career.

The family would like to thank his wonderful caregivers, Lou and Elaine for making his final days so happy. Also Dr. Watson, the RNâ€™s, and Care Aides. A gathering of family and friends is being held Saturday, June 29th, from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. In Memory of Joe Frumento who passed away May 22nd.

Athlete’s feats: Aumen and Bird burn up the Western Speedway track again with strong finishes emailing Heer at buffdeep@hotmail. com. • Valley auto racers never cease to leave an impression on the Strawberry Cup weekend at Western Speedway in Victoria. Scott Aumen captured top spot on the first day in the winged sprint car feature and came a close second on the final night to Guy Barrett. In the non-winged sprint cars, Jeff Bird entered the pits on lap 17 after an early challenge for the top five on opening night. He made it into fourth spot in the feature event on day two. Soft touch is shown by Phyl Ingram of Duncan while competing in the women’s two-bowl six-pack lawn bowling tournament hosted by the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club. The next big event at the club is the Canada Day jitney.

Football finales fantastic

Two out of three ain’t bad: Cowichan peewees capture Gold Cup Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

he Cowichan Peewee Bulldogs are the Gold Cup champions in the Greater Victoria Minor Football Association for the second time in three years. After beating Westshore in a close semifinal, Cowichan advanced into the final to face a strong Saanich team that had only lost once all season. But that one loss was against the Bulldogs and history repeated itself. It was an exciting game from start to finish and coach Trent Jones’ team hit the scoreboard first with a safety touch. Saanich notched a touchdown and a two-point convert near the end of the first half to take an 8-2 lead at the break. Cowichan then scored a TD to even the count, but couldn’t add the extra point. Cowichan’s Jake Paras played the role of hero with the winning TD, following the blocks of an outstanding offense. Meanwhile, the Pre-Atom Bulldogs captured the Silver Cup by beating the Nanaimo Lions 15-0 Sunday. Jack Napier-Ganley weaved in and out of the Lions’ defence to find his way into the end zone on the second play of the game. Linemen Trevor Eccleston and Harrison Padur made key blocks on the play. Fellow running back Treyton McCuaig-Jones then punched the ball in for the two-point convert. Nanaimo put the Cowichan defence off-balance with a tricky count, resulting in two consecutive offside penalties. “We have practiced watching the ball and not listening to the quarterback, but none of the teams had attempted this so we were a bit rusty,’’ noted coach Devon Lawrence. The Lions moved the ball, but were

stopped by linebackers Sawyer Ellison and James Morton. Cowichan’s defence put a stop to any of Nanaimo’s plans by the third quarter. Tandem sacks by defensive ends Brock Lamont and Cyrus Upshaw turned the ball over to the offense. McCuaig-Jones added a second TD for the Bulldogs, stiff-arming the defence along the way. Cowichan’s defence pushed Nanaimo back into the end zone for a safety in the fourth quarter that sealed the deal. “It was a great end to the season,’’ raved Lawrence. “The players have struggled, grown and finished strong, all the time having fun.’’ The Cowichan Atom Bulldogs lost a 16-14 heartbreaker to Peninsula in their Silver Cup final. “More important, the kids played well,’’ said Cowichan coach Jeff McDonald, who said it was great to play against Peninsula. “Classy team, classy players, classy coach,’’ he said. Cowichan had a 14-0 lead at the half on two TDs by Carter Price on huge blocks by the whole offensive line. Hudson Copley-Spencer was especially a standout, going both ways on the offensive and defensive lines. “The difference was just one PAT (convert),’’ said McDonald. “We didn’t lose. We just ran out of time.’’ Cowichan had the ball in the late stages, but the clock ran down quickly. “We just couldn’t push it in there,’’ said McDonald. “Our players were classy, too. We came off the field and we played a great game.’’ Quarterback Cameron Wright was a tower of strength for the Bulldogs. “He’s been a quiet strength everyone’s leaned on all season,’’ said McDonald. Fall registration is now on for new and returning players. Information can be found at www.cowichanfootball. com.

Batters up! Cowichan’s Steve Cannon, above left, in action against Carico Sunday, and Adam Benning, connecting for a hit against visiting Metchosin at Shawnigan Lake June 9, have been the hottest batsmen in recent cricket outings.

Struggles follow winning streak

Hitting the skids: Cricket team hopes to put outings behind it and get back on track Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

owichan’s fortunes took a sudden turn in the Victoria and District Cricket Association. After running up four straight victories to sit high in the table, Cowichan hit the skids with a pair of losses as its record fell to 5-4. Cowichan was beaten last Sunday at Shawnigan Lake by nine wickets against Carico. On paper, the two teams were evenly matched. Cowichan scored 166 for nine, with Adam Benning leading the way with 85 runs. But Carico easily surpassed that total, going 169 with the loss of just one wicket in a mere 23 overs. The weekend before was also somewhat disheartening for Cowichan. Its win streak ended with a thud by 195 runs against United Victoria at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria.

United batted first and piled up a total of 360 all out against seven different Cowichan bowlers. The best of the bowlers was Charles Swart with three wickets for 60 runs. It was a tall order to match and Cowichan fell well short, finishing all out for 165. Stephen Cannon was the best of the Cowichan batsmen, scoring 40 runs, while Swart added 30. Once they were out, Hassaan Rahim (24) and Rick Fletcher (22) were the only players who managed to score in double figures. The club’s fourth straight win June 9 over Metchosin suddenly seems like a fading memory, but the team hopes to get back to playing that level of cricket again. Cowichan batted first during the game at Shawnigan Lake and lost a wicket before a run was even scored, but then racked up 125 before the second wicket fell. Cannon (75 runs) and Benning (45) formed a dynamite partnership that gave the team its best

start of the year. Wickets fell more regularly for a while, taking the score to 179 for six. Clayton Bodkyn (73 not out) and Rahim (39) took the Metchosin bowlers apart with plenty of fours and sixes. The power of Bodkyn’s hitting was a sight to behold. In short order, Cowichan’s total rose to 272 for seven at the close of the innings. The total was not insurmountable against a strong Metchosin side but Cowichan bowlers performed very well. Five different bowlers took wickets, with successful spells from Mits Kitagawa (two for 16) and Rahim (three for 41). Steve Inglis chipped in with two for 24. Metchosin fell to 39 for five and never recovered, winding up at 140 all out. Cowichan thus won by 132 runs. Next game for Cowichan is Sunday at Windsor Park in Victoria against Alcos.

Varty, Nelson enjoy swimming success at the Canadian championships

SPORtS wAtCh

Eulah Varty, pictured, and Colleen Nelson participated in the Canadian national swimming championships in Ottawa during the May long weekend. They were part of the Masters Swimming B.C. contingent so they could join relay teams. Varty, 79, a North Cowichan-Duncan

Sports Wall of Fame member, earned first place in a bunch of events, including the 100-metre fly, 200 I.M., 400 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 freestyle and 400 I.M. She also earned a second place in the 100 backstroke for her age category and was part of three relay teams that placed

second, third and seventh. Nelson, 64, claimed first place in the 200 I.M., 50 fly and 50 breast. She also finished second in the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free and 100 I.M. Nelson was on four relay teams ages 240 to 279 combined that all placed first and three set Canadian records.

Volleyball all in the family for Groenendijk clan Fab four: Two at college and two in the club ranks setting a high standard Don Bodger

olleyball forms the basis for many conversations involving Chris and Henrietta Groenendijk and their four children. That’s basically unavoidable, with sons Cameron and Doug and daughters Megan and Danielle playing high-level volleyball throughout much of the year. Cameron just completed his third season with the Redeemer University College Royals men’s varsity volleyball team in Ancaster, Ont. “With a lot of returning players, the pre-season shaped up to be a huge success being named the Humber Cup champions, beating the host and last year’s national champions The Humber Hawks in the gold medal match 26-28, 25-23, 15-11 for a 2-1 victory,’’ noted Cameron. But the team had a tough start to the season, with only one win in three games, turning it around with a defeat of the No. 1-ranked team in the country, the Nipissing Lakers. “The winning trend continued and we were able to get 11 straight wins,’’ noted Cameron of a season with just 18 games. The Royals eventually finished second overall in the Ontario College Athletic Association and received a bye into the provincials. A loss to the Mohawk Mountaineers put Cameron and mates out of the running for gold and a trip

to nationals, but they won back-to-back games to capture the back door bronze. Cameron was on the team that won silver two years ago. He received a nomination for Redeemer’s Male Scholar Athlete of the Year. The biggest highlight for him occurred when his head coach Wayne Harris was named the CCAA men’s volleyball coach of the year. “The future looks bright for this team despite losing some players and Wayne Harris’ decision to step down from being the head coach,’’ Cameron indicated. Cameron’s three siblings remain in the valley and Megan made the step from Duncan Christian School grad to a member of the Vancouver Island University women’s volleyball team. “There was a huge difference,’’ said Megan in the transition from high school volleyball. “It was weird being on the bottom of the chain. I was a rookie again. “The team was very accepting. I learned lots from them. Depending on the game, I got to start in a couple.’’ Megan’s playing time was split between power and right side. “The coach is training me for both,’’ she said. “I like either.’’ Megan was one of four rookies on the team and her

position will remain a strength going back next season. “The powers and the right side are all staying,’’ she said. “I’ll just work hard and I’ll get there.’’ VIU suffered an upset loss in the provincials at Cranbrook to Columbia Bible College and missed qualifying for the nationals. It was the first time in nine years VIU didn’t make the nationals. The last time was also following a provincial tournament in Cranbrook. “We just don’t like Cranbrook,’’ joked Megan. She said her first season “went by in a flash, so quickly.’’ Doug, a Grade 11 student, completed the senior boys’ high school season in the fall at DCS and went into the spring with the Nanaimo Volleyball Club’s White team.

Cameron Groenendijk, left, is at Redeemer University College in Ontario. Above, from left, are: Danielle, Doug and Megan. “My whole team was all 17s,’’ said Doug. “We were playing in a U18 division. “In the beginning, we did pretty good. We were beating the older U18 team. We were pretty consistent. We kind of choked at provincials.’’ Doug and his teammates ended up in a three-way tie for second in their pool and were relegated to third based on sets won. He was a tower of strength for the team at six-foot-four. “I was the tallest guy on the team,’’ Doug said. “I got put into the middle position.’’ He turned heads by finishing second in the jump competition at provincials, impressing Team Canada captain Fred Winters, who happened to be

around to see it. Doug plans to try out for Team B.C. this summer. “Next year, I’m going to look around at different colleges and universities in Canada and the U.S. and see what the best pick is, probably go for volleyball,’’ said Doug, who’s also a pretty fair basketball player along with his other siblings. The youngest member of the clan at 13, Grade 8 DCS student Danielle is already a standout in the school’s program and with the U14 Nanaimo Volleyball Club’s girls’ team. “Last year, I played up on the U14 Edge Duncan team,’’ she explained. “They needed an extra player. “Last year, I wasn’t going to

play club and they asked me to. This year, I wanted to go to Nanaimo because of the higher skill level.’’ She fit right into a lead role. “I was the captain,’’ Danielle said. “We kind of rotated, but I was the main captain. I played middle.’’ She led the team to fourth in its division at provincials out of more than 60 teams and 25th in the mammoth national playdowns, both at Abbotsford Tradex. “I know I improved a lot, playing with people in my own age group,’’ said Danielle. “We started at the bottom and worked our way up. “We got closer as a team. We’re all pretty much alike. There’s no one that stood out.’’

Field hockey talent flourishing

Interesting developments: Men’s national clinic among the big events of the season

t’s been a busy month for Cowichan field hockey players and there’s more to come in July for those selected to Team B.C. The junior field hockey program has been going strong this season, with a wide variety of tournaments, regular games and clinics. Among the club festivals was a trip to Richmond in early June for three U12 girls’ teams. Cowichan also sent a U12 boys’ team to Vancouver to play in a club festival for the first time ever

at that level. And three U14 girls’ teams traveled to West Vancouver for club festivals. Meanwhile, a special clinic was held June 22 at the Cowichan Sportsplex’s John Ferreira Field that featured coaching by the Canadian men’s national team. Members of the national team ran the juniors through 1 1/2 hours of instruction, covering all the basics of field hockey in a fun and supportive environment. Players of all ages and abilities were provided an opportunity to learn from the best in Canada. The national team also signed autographs for the kids.

Funds raised from the day went directly to the national team to support 2013-14 programming. The U18 nationals are coming up July 25 to 28 in Vancouver. There’s been some shuffling of the lineups, but Stefanie Langkammer and Casey Crowley will play for B.C. Blue, Claire Seeliger for B.C. White and Chelsey Cleemoff, Jenner Court and Sara Lowes for B.C. Yellow. The U15 nationals are in Brampton, Ont. July 31 to Aug. 3. Marina Ellison, Sara Goodman, Sophia Murray and Brittany Smith were named to U15 B.C. Blue and Emma Dame to U15 White.
