Foresters lay WWII air tragedy to rest Part one: How a trio of locals surveying the rugged Lake Cowichan wilderness discovered the wartime crash site that claimed four airmen

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

In December, the public first learned three Lake Cowichan-area forestry engineers had found the 71-year-old wreckage site of an Avro Anson airplane, and the resting place of its four Second World War airmen. Since then, forensic experts, coroners and military personnel have excavated the remote site, and identified the remains of (British) RAF volunteerreserve pilots Anthony William Lawrence, 21, and Charles George Fox, 31; RAF volunteer-reserve Sgt. Robert Ernest Luckock; and (Canadian) RCAF Sgt. William Baird. It’s believed foul weather caused the aircrew’s canvasand-wood plane to crash on Oct. 30, 1942, strewing wreckage across 100 metres of heavy bush near Mesachie Lake, southwest of Lake Cowichan. That grim but undisturbed site was accidentally discovered on Oct. 24, 2013 by Teal Jones Forest Ltd. employees Dennis Cronin, Walter Van Hell, and Tom Weston More than six months after their discovery, the trio sat down to share their story with the News Leader Pictorial.

***** ennis Cronin’s comfortable kitchen in Lake Cowichan sits about 1½ hours of bad roads and bushwacking away from where he and his workmates stumbled on the partially buried debris of a wartime Avro Anson airplane. The three forest engineers knew of their wartime history. They were aware of how foul weather and risky planes had combined to

dot the coast with remote crash sites. The trio soon realized they’d found one on Oct. 24. “Tom and I were traversing (surveying) fall lines, and Dennis was hanging the ribbons,” said Van Hell. “I came to a rock bluff in old-growth timber and hung line across the top of the bluff, then I came to the end of the bluff, stopped hanging ribbon and went to investigate down below on flatter ground,” said Cronin. “I’m always looking around for stuff, and saw a big chunk of aircraft aluminum all busted up. “I picked it up, and yelled up ‘There’s an airplane here!’” Twenty feet farther along, he found a round window, and eventually traced a 100-metre debris field. “We followed the trail and found more and more stuff,” said Weston. “It starts with just little pieces.” Suspicions the wreckage was a military plane seemed confirmed when they found a switch labelled ‘Bomb release.’ The perished plane’s first-aid kit, and other stuff could also be seen. “It was all on the surface. We didn’t disturb anything,” said Weston. Then they found cockpit wreckage, and a steering wheel. “You could look at the debris, and make out the flight path through broken tree tops,” Weston said, noting they believed the plane had been canvas on aluminum. “A lot of the fuselage was canvas,” said Van Hell. “We also knew it was there a long time.” But not long enough for shreds of clothing, to become forest compost —most notably, a leather boot. The men approached it with apprehension. “Our hair was standing on end,” noted Weston. “We carefully opened one shoe to see if there were any bones in there,” said Van Hell. There was not. The trio surmised the plane flipped on impact as it was shredded by the thick forest. “One propellor was wrapped around a motor, the other one was never found,” Weston said. “One expert later said that propellor wasn’t turning on impact,” said Van Hell. The accidental detectives became leery of the tragic site as they noticed other artifacts

It was an Avro Anson. — including a bomb. “There was this round thing sticking out out of the ground,” said Weston. “I watched where I stepped after that.” A radio aerial gave them a clue about what

might have happened. “We figured they forgot to lower the radio aerial, then lost contact in bad weather,” Van Hell said. more on page 3

UP FRoNT

A tattooed, slim, middle-age man is the suspect described by police in the March robbery of Duncan’s Thrifty Foods. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP issued a sketch of the alleged thief Friday. “An older man, with knife in hand, approached a Thrifty employee and demanded cash,” reads a release from Cpl. Krista Hobday about the 3:15

p.m. March 31 robbery. “The man walked up to the counter and pushed an empty bag towards her, demanding cash. The employee remained calm and complied, having seen the knife and believing the man was serious. “The man quickly exited the store but not before his image was captured on video surveillance. The employee alerted other staff members and called

911.” Mounties are asking for public assistance in identifying the man depicted as Caucasian, 55 to 60 years old, with grey hair and a slender build, wearing a Tilley hat, shorts, and a short-sleeve shirt. A tattoo can be seen on his upper right arm. Call the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250748-5522, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

It was at about that point when it really started to sink in where they were. “I thought, ‘Jeez, there could be some guys (bodies) here.’ We didn’t want to disturb anything,” Van Hell said. “You could see by the wreckage no one was coming out of there.” Leaving the bush, the threesome called the RCMP to report their discovery. They also went online to see what kind of airplane they had found, while officials used the engine’s serial number and war records to confirm the Avro’s identity and crew. The guys also talked to wartime Mosquito plane pilot Tom Burdge, (Van Hell’s stepfather-in-law), who also flew an Avro; plus chopper pilot and airplane builder Mel Johnstone. Johnstone knew how to find the crashed Avro’s engine serial number; Burdge reported it to Ottawa. “That really started it all,” Van Hell said of Burdge’s call to Ottawa. “Tom did a helluva lot.” A week later, the engineers led cops and Canadian Forces’ folks submitted to the site fully aware of an eery Canadian armed forces members lend assistance at the crash site discovered by a trio of coincidence. valley foresters. “It was 71 years to the exact day from when they (plane) left Pat Bay to when we led the RCMP and miliThey hope a cairn and ceremony eventually salute tary ordinance guys to the site,” noted Weston. the airmen’s grave on the gentle forest floor.

Taxpayer costs remain a mystery

Pompeo proceedings: Question of who paid bills in five-year court case not revealed Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

axpayers will likely never know the costs of trying and convicting North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP Const. David Pompeo. Crown counsel Neil Mackenzie told the News Leader Pictorial last week details of Pompeo’s legal costs were unknown to Crown. “Talk to him or his lawyer,” he said. The Leader did ask Pompeo and his lawyer, Ravi Hira, earlier this year who was paying Pompeo’s legal fees. Both declined to answer. Mackenzie also indicated Crown did not and would not tally taxpayer tabs for five years of charging and convicting Pompeo of the Sept. 18, 2009 shooting of Cowichanian Bill Gillespie during a traffic stop in a dark Chemainus

driveway. “That’s not something we track separately,” Mackenzie told the Leader. At press time it was unknown where to seek answers about public costs of Pompeo’s court process. Last week, the Leader reported a settlement was reached in civil action between Gillespie — whose body still carries a 9-mm slug from Pompeo’s gun — and Pompeo. The amount and terms of that civil settlement, said Gillespie’s lawyer James Legh, were not being disclosed. It was unknown if taxpayers, Pompeo, or a group — such as the Mounted Police Professional Association of Canada — footed that civil settlement, and the case’s earlier court costs. During the lengthy five-year case heard in Duncan court, Pompeo was found guilty of aggravated assault. He later received a sentence

Think like a ﬁsh to save our river from disaster

f you think like a worried fish, the answer is obvious to our dry river: raise the Cowichan Lake weir a minimum of 18 inches in early spring, and ban fishing most of the year. But years of local stakeholders pleading with provincial and federal governments have prevented moves to store plenty of water behind the weir for use during summer droughts — such as the one our heritage salmon river is suffering now. We advise Cowichan stakeholders to ignore deaf governments and do whatever is necessary all year to save our precious river. If that means curtailing the water license-holding Crofton mill for a spell, so be it. Fish should come first. Do whatever Seemingly inflexible government flow-rate policies have left folks with is necessary One Cowichan, Cowichan Tribes, the now to save thirsty mill, and others trapping, then trucking salmon upstream to spawn. our drying, Even that may not save our fish this dying Coyear due to the lack of stored weir water, plus brutal effects of climate wichan River change. Temperatures in our hot river could almost poach pods of fish while some people, ignorant of our river crisis, are still fishing in the Cowichan. Ban that fishing now. But without governments’ willing to listen and act in unison with our valiant valley stakeholders, our sad river seems doomed for a record bad summer. Apparently it all could have been prevented, or at least mitigated. We’re told back about 1985, government was advised by fretting, dedicated locals to raise the weir to capture spring runoff and snow-pack melt (none this year) for summer-flow use. We’re now seeing the folly of those plugged bureaucratic ears — if you think like a fish.

We say:

The good and the bad of this week in Cowichan This we don’t

This we like

Thirty years of the Islands Folk Festival and and it’s still going strong. The charm of Providence Farm and the quality of the entertainers keeps people coming back for more and makes it such a great festival for the community. Congratulations to all the organizers who’ve had a part in it over the years. We’re sure many more good years are in store.

Andrew Leong

Islands Folk Festival continues to pack in the crowds.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of any issue Aaron Bichard

News Leader Pictorial

began this opinion piece with the idea to convince you, unequivocally, that we all are sheep-shaped puppets, our wool coats zipped right up tight from our company line-tickling toes to our eyebrows, blindfolding us from reason. We are affirmation-announcing followers, destined to bump and spin in our dizzying pack of political like-minded lackeys—a handshake here, a wink-and-a-nod there— constantly confirming our path is the right path, no matter where that path leads, as long as the path is filled with friends, filled with pride and filled with a sense of inclusion. It’s not our fault. It’s how we are made. We are social beings, interested in nothing more than knowing that, at the end of the day when we are tucking ourselves in, preparing for the questions that only come out in the dark, that somewhere, someone

has our back; we are liked, we are loved, we belong. Unfortunately, despite this opinion piece’s point aiming to prove our inabilities to make decisions that may rub us raw on the social grain, I’ve already convinced a number of you of your own individuality. And to those readers, at the same time I’ve likely reaffirmed my own idiocy. Simply, you don’t believe me. Because, in the eyes of those whose herd’s whirling trajectory rarely intersects with mine, my name announces the arrival of an opposing political view; I am disagreed with before I even start. To those taste buds, my fruits of reason just aren’t in season. Even if I had used a different tact, massaging my messaging with facts dipped in the essential rhetorical oils of Logos, Pathos and Ethos, the chances I would have relaxed that portion of readers into a state of receptiveness are slim. Thing is, they don’t subscribe to my tribe.

Too many pathetic reality shows on TV. Do we really care about The Misadventures of Nicole Richie, The Desperate Housewives of the San Bernardino Valley, The Divorced Bachelorette, Survivor Budapest, Sugar Baby Boo Boo or whatever? Get out to some community events instead, especially during the summertime, where you’re sure to enjoy yourself more than channel surﬁng through such trash.

COWICHAN LEADERS

And because our social circles differ, and our political views butt heads, and our prejudices and preconceptions about each other’s intentions are repeatedly acknowledged amongst our own ilk, the idea that we will change each other’s minds with something as simple as facts is ludicrous. In fact, the facts when it comes to political issues only harden our resolve for what we already believe in. According to Yale Law professor Dan Kahan, this theory is called Identity-Protective Cognition and is the reason facts don’t work to resolve politically charged disagreements. In a recent Vox article called How Politics Make Us Stupid, author Ezra Klein sat down with Kahan to go over his findings. Last year he and co-authors Ellen Peters, Erica Cantrell Dawson, and Paul Slovic ran a series of experiments to discover if facts swayed political opinions. According to Klein’s article, researchers

found in the case of politicized issues, such as climate change or gun control, facts had almost the opposite effect, and “reasoning becomes rationalizing.” “Individuals subconsciously resist factual information that threatens their defining values,” Kahan surmised. This news we all want to impress the people we identify with isn’t really news, but it is an interesting confirmation that banging our heads and asking ourselves why those who aren’t in our camp can’t see the facts is probably not a great use of time. Ultimately, if we spend less time worrying about making friends, we can spend more time worrying about making progress.. Aaron Bichard writes for newspapers and recycles them.

Enforcement of anchoring bylaw shameful

ment savings RRSP. This is totally unrealistic, unnecessary and unaffordable. The financial stability of the current defined benefits’ plan is questionable; the plan went from a surplus of $0.4million in 2006 to a whopping deficit of $1.4 billion in 2012. Elected municipal councils are caving in to the wants of a few when residential taxpayers are breaking from the more than doubling of municipal taxes during the past 10 years. Don Swiatlowski

Dear editor The District of North Cowichan should be ashamed of itself to even suggest evicting moored and anchored boats from Maple Bay. I would be willing to bet every one of them has known someone, if not themselves, that has moored a boat in that area.

Dear editor Municipal, city and town workers have one of the most generous indexed defined benefit pension plans in existence. No one in the private sector has such a plan anymore. Your June 25 article highlighted the fact Lake Cowichan’s local government union wants even more: a newly created retire-

Dear editor Re: June 20 “Tourists first, commuters second in rail revival.” I was gung-ho a couple years back about the passenger train between Victoria and Nanaimo, and I’m glad we missed the train. In my dad’s service station, locals were the bread and butter, tourists the gravy. Highway congestion from Victoria to Langford has to be decreased. Through government regulation, the present situation has been allowed to develop and to continue subsidizing the rail I believe will become a vacated track. People want to travel at their convenience, even transit buses cannot oblige. The future has arrived, a light rapid transit to start near up-town centre to Langford ASAP, then whichever is most important, I believe toward Nanaimo, or above ground level down Douglas Street. This would be a working motion, not all or nothing. Clifford David Phillips Duncan

Folk Guild’s 30th-anniversary bash one of its best ever

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

housands of folkies seemed satisfied with the weekend’s 30th-annual Islands Folk Festival at Providence Farm. Cool, partly sunny — but not hot — weather kept heat stroke and wasps at bay as Cowichan Folk Guild’s new artistic director, Bobbie Blue, successfully helmed her first IFF saluting festival founders. Attendance, helped by electronic and gate sales, was strong and action was slightly staggered between the festival’s four stages, allowing a nice flow between acts spanning spoken word to flamenco to blues and African fare. Valley singer Paul Ruszel bested eight tunesmiths to win the Island Songwriting Contest Friday with his tune, No More Bridges.

Peter W. Rusland, Andrew Leong

Islands Folk Festival action, clockwise from below, includes: J.P. Durand of Incendio; Tim Hearsey of Gary Comeau’s band; woodburning artist Heath Anderson; judging Island Songwriting Contest are Bobbie Blue, David Gogo and Murray McLauchlan; dancer with Alpha Yaya Diallo; Daniel Lapp on the horn; and Spirit of the West.

Firemen keep on truckin’

Labour of love: Duncan department’s 1949 truck restored to glory Kathy Santini

The core group that worked on the fire truck, front row, from left: Rick Starke, Lyle Raynor, Yvon Guindon, Graham Murray, Rob Laver, Al Deschene, Brian Stewart, Art Sanderson and Brian Cannon. Back: Andy Newall and Corky Adams. Absent: Jordon Newell.

ou don’t often think of fire trucks going on road trips, do you? Well, this one did. It wasn’t exactly your typical Sunday afternoon drive, either. The road trip in question was across the country; all before construction on the TransCanada Highway started in 1950. A year before, in 1949, three Duncan Volunteer Fire Department

firefighters flew to Woodstock, Ontario, to pick up a state-of-the art fire truck and drive it back to Duncan. “It was the department’s first fully manufactured fire truck,” said Rob Laver, a former fire fighter and a member of the Duncan Fire Fighters Historical Society, which has spent the last six years restoring the truck. Before that purchase, Laver said the practice was to purchase a local vehicle and to have the local blacksmith tinker with it, to fit the fire department’s specifications.

The restoration itself came about in a roundabout way. It started with the impending celebration of the 100th anniversary of the DVFD in 2002. As firefighters collected “all sorts of bits and pieces,” related to the department’s history, they decided to create a non-profit society. “Doing that allowed us to preserve history and also educate the public about fire and life safety,” Laver said. The truck was used by the city from 1949 to 1982 and was on loan to the Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department from 1984 to 1997. It was stored until 2008, when volunteers started to lovingly restore it. After dismantling the truck down to its frame, hundreds of parts were cleaned, inspected and cataloged. After the body work and the priming was done, the challenge of putting the puzzle back together again began. “In several cases, items had to be hand built, as some of the parts were no longer available,” the former firefighter said. Thirty five thousand dollars in donations from individuals and local businesses and 3,000 hours of labour later, the truck is almost better than new and from all appearances ready for another road trip. Its next trip will be a lot less ambitious; between Duncan’s city yard and the city’s firehall at 468 Duncan St. Laver said the truck will be displayed there occasionally on Sundays.

DIELEMAN, Johanna Josephina October 24, 1920 â€“ July 18, 2014 After a long life, â€œHannieâ€? went peacefully to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus. She was born in Wissenkerke, the Netherlands, the eldest of five children of Joost van Halst and Adriana van Halst de Vos. She will be remembered by her brother Bertus (Koos), her sister Lies (Jan), and many nieces and nephews. Hannie married Pieter Dieleman on August 16, 1954. They travelled to Montreal, Quebec and settled in Smithers, BC, where Hannie was active in the Hospital Auxiliary and at the public library. She supported her husband in his sawmill enterprise, learned to play bridge, and became a Canadian citizen in 1956. They eventually retired to Duncan and settled into home, church, and community life there. When her Piet passed away in 1988, Hannie carried on with her many activities: creating beautiful bobbin lace, hiking, playing bridge, and enjoying her friendships. She loved nature, especially flowers, birds and butterflies. She will be lovingly remembered by many in her church family, her bridge family, and the village at Eveningâ€™s Ease. Hannie was a gentle lady, and we will miss her. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Road in Duncan at 11:30 am. Online condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca SANDS of DUNCAN 250-746-5212 HAMILTON, Louise 1932 - 2014 Louise (Loesje) C. Hamilton , 82, of Duncan, died July 10, 2014. She was born to the late Loedwyk and Minke Heppenstrydt - Postma, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Louise immigrated to Canada in 1954 with her husband when she was 22years of age. They raised three children Harry, Nancy and Ian in BC and primarily in the Cowichan Valley. Louise taught preschool and then worked in aquatics until she retired in 1994 and was passionate about making a difference in the lives of those she touched. Her swimming started in the Netherlands where she trained with the Dutch National swim coach, and continued when she immigrated to Canada where she taught swimming at the Dutch Lake Guest Ranch, Clearwater BC. When she retired she was the oldest certified and working lifeguard in Canada. Louise was instrumental in the fund raising efforts for the first swimming pool (Aquannis Centre) in the Cowichan Valley. Over the years she taught 1000â€™s of Cowichan Valley children and adults to swim. She taught at the many water locations throughout the valley in her quest to ensure water safety for our community: (Maple Bay beach, Brentwood School swimming pool, Tall Timbers park swimming pool, North Cowichan Firemanâ€™s pool, Thetis Island, Saltspring Island, Cowichan River, Shawnigan Lake, Cowichan Lake, Youbou, Fuller Lake and Crofton pool ). She was honored with the Royal Life Saving Society Recognition Badge, Medal and Certificate 1972, 1977, 1984 and 1997 and received the Certificate of Merit from the Government of Canada 1988 for her efforts in aquatics. Louise was a member of the Canadian Red Cross, and the Life Saving Society of Canada. She loved to travel, and took multiple trips throughout BC, Alberta and to Europe, Fiji, Hawaii and the United States with her partner Vince. Louise is survived by three children: Harry (Gretchen); Nancy (Steve); Ian (Tanja). She also is survived by eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to Cowichan Land Trust â€“ Sansum Point. Mom so dearly loved kayaking in our local waters and enjoyed the waterfront areas around the valley, she believed in the preservation of these spaces for our future generations to enjoy.

MILLS, David John â€“ Born September 27, 1933, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 15, 2014, with his beloved wife Carol by his side. David had a strong Christian faith and he was ready to meet his Lord. He had pastored churches in England and Canada, and mentored many people during his earthly journey. He moved to Canada in 1980. On February 1, 1986, David received a heart transplant in London, Ontario. He received excellent care from many health care providers over the years, with special thanks to Dr. Patrick Gallagher and Dr. Daniel Phillipson, also the Victoria Transplant Clinic and the Duncan Dialysis Unit, and many others who assisted him to lead a full life, with resiliency, in the face of many challenges. He was involved as a volunteer with various groups including the early days of C. V. Independent Living Resource Centre, and the local Heart and Stroke Foundation, and many years with the Cowichan Macintosh Users Group, until his eyesight was severely reduced last fall. David leaves behind his children Tessa, Nigel & Abi, 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and his brother Ian and family, all in England and many friends here. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Kidney Foundation. A Memorial Tea Celebration will be held to honour David at First Memorial Funeral Services, 375 Brae Road, Duncan on Saturday July 26, 2014 staring at 1:00pm FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES Condolences may be shared online at www.dignitymemorial.com

In loving memory of Franda, devoted and caring wife, mother, grandmother, kind and loyal friend.

Jan 30, 1956July 24, 2005

She will be forever remembered and sorely missed, especially by her husband, Nick, her children and grandchildren, as well as by her many special friends.

To hear your voice and see your smile, to sit with you and talk a while, to be together in the same old way, would be our greatest wish today. You are never more than a thought away, quietly remembered every day and no longer in our lives to share but in our hearts you are always there. We deeply miss you and youâ€™re loved forever.

DEATHS

WELLMAN Johnny Dale

SPARKES, Lillian Victoria Passed away on July 17, 2014 at home with her loving family present. Lillian was born in 1929, the youngest child of Helgi and Helga Helgason in a family of three sons and four daughters. She grew up on the family farm located near Foam Lake, Saskatchewan. In 1950 she married Bob Sparkes and in following years they lived in many parts of Canada and the United States. Their four children were each born in a different province. Wherever Lillian lived she quickly made friends. She looked for the good in everyone and never uttered a mean word. She greeted everyone with kindness, understanding and the most beautiful smile. She belonged to a church congregation wherever she lived and worked tirelessly to support her church. She loved her children and adored her grandchildren who could do no wrong. Left to mourn her passing are her husband Bob; her four children, Gary (Ginette), Susan Robb (Doug), Sharlene Phelan (Jim), and Glen; her eight grandchildren, Marjorie, Liliane, Renee, Kurtis, and Jaime Sparkes, and Jacquelyn, Corey, and Brendan Robb; and her sisters Agnita Laxdal and Anna Johnson. She was predeceased by her parents; her three bothers, Gudi, Chris, and Joe; and her sister Dora Mumford. The family thanks Dr. Ismail and the homecare nurses, therapists and care workers who helped with Lillianâ€™s care. A celebration of Lillianâ€™s life will be held at Duncan United Church on Wednesday July 30 at 11:00 am. All are invited to attend. On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Beloved husband, of almost 71 years, to Trudy, father to Ted (Gerlind) and Wolf (Alison), uncle to Bea and Chris, and Opi to Adrian, Anton and Iona and to greatgrandchildren Cora, Mateo and Stella, he will be sorely missed for his wit and wisdom. His enthusiasm for teaching languages and foreign travel made him an inspiration to students of all ages but his first love was flying. â€œAnd when the goals are reached at last When all the flyingâ€™s done Iâ€™ll answer Him with no regret Indeed I had some funâ€?

o contest. With everyone there, the Cowichan Valley Intermediate B Thunder lacrosse team displayed complete superiority over Saanich. It was a bit of a different story with several regulars not available, but Cowichan still got the job done for a two-game sweep in the best-ofthree Island final playoff series. Cowichan wiped out Saanich 23-4 in the opener last Tuesday at the Island Savings Centre, with a highpowered offense and an airtight defence backed by goalkeeper Dallas McLaughlin. “He played real solid,’’ said Thunder coach Lorne Winship. The scoring came in waves, led by the double digit effort of Colin Winship with four goals and seven assists for 11 points while Tyson Black racked up nine points on three goals and six assists and Adam Golia chalked up three goals and five assists. Midget call-up Mathieu Jung made a huge impression with eight points on two goals and six assists and Brandon Corby had the scoring touch with five goals and one assist. James Taylor, another call-up, collected three goals and two assists. Jimmy Johnnie, Mitch Page and Corwin Trent tallied single goals and Thomas Charlie contributed an assist. Cowichan led 9-3 after the first period and 16-4 after two. The Thunder was left with only 13 runners for the rematch Friday at Panorama due to holidays, an

Summer Games. Against all odds, Cowichan somehow prevailed 13-12 for the championship against a strong Saanich lineup, bolstered by the return of its No. 1 goaltender. The Thunder trailed 12-8 with seven minutes left, but came back with five unanswered goals. “This core of these players that I’ve been fortunate enough to coach have done this type of thing for as long as I can remember,’’ noted coach Winship. “They have an uncanny way of

finding ways to win. They are more than the sum of their parts.’’ It was mainly the Black-GoliaColin Winship show in the dying minutes. The game-winner came from Winship with 2:52 left. Black had seven goals and one assist, Golia two goals and five assists and Winship a goal and five assists. Corby chipped in with two goals and two assists, with a goal and an assist coming from Page. The Island champs head to the provincials in Richmond Aug. 1 to 4 against two teams from the Lower Mainland and one from the Interior.

Clayton Vickers It’s a big jump going from C level to A level lacrosse, but Clayton Vickers did well to elevate his game. Vickers, 16, has only played three seasons of lacrosse, but held his own in the highly-competitive Midget A1 ranks with the Cowichan Valley Thunder. “It was pretty difficult, especially in this Midget A,’’ he said. “There’s a lot of good players, pretty tough competition. Last year, I played C. It was pretty fun. I liked it. This year’s a big difference going to A so I enjoyed it. C’s not that competitive compared to A. A’s faster and better players.’’ Vickers quickly discovered the areas of his game where he needed to crank up the intensity. “Definitely, the speed, passing, everything’s so much faster than C,’’ he said. “All of the players are way better so it’s really tough to try and adapt to their play.’’ Vickers is happy how the season turned out despite the Thunder’s ouster from the playoffs without reaching the Island final. “I think we came out with nine wins, six losses or something like that,’’ he said. Vickers intends to keep going next season when he’ll make another big leap to playing Intermediate.

Queen Margaret’s School student a force in elite running field

Madison Heisterman is on a great run this season. The track and field star from Queen Margaret’s School made an appearance in the Victoria International Track Classic at Centennial Stadium in Victoria and turned heads with a terrific performance for

her age. Heisterman bettered the B.C. 800-metre age group record she set a month ago, running the fastest time in Canada this year for 14-yearold girls of 2:10.12. She was racing in the Women’s National Development section of the 800.

Heisterman placed eighth in that elite group of runners. Liga Velvere of Latvia, who’s 24 years old, clocked the winning time of 2:04.34. Heisterman is having a tremendous year with many outstanding runs, mainly against much older athletes.

alley athletes showcased their talents at numerous venues throughout Nanaimo — and even on Quamichan Lake for the water skiing events — during the B.C. Summer Games. The medal haul, as usual, was impressive but so was the effort, enthusiasm and sportsmanship of those who missed the podium. “I had a great overall experience at the Games,’’ noted Desirae Ridenour of Cowichan Bay, who won three gold medals in triathlon and duathlon events. “I expected myself to be on the podium for all of my races. I think I did very well in all of my races considering I had crashed on my bike a couple of days before the Games started.’’ Ridenour suffered road rash on her leg, elbow and hand and had part of a thumbnail ripped off, but bounced back to have a great Games. She placed second in the aquathon and first in the duathlon Friday. Saturday brought a first in the triathlon and Sunday another first in a draft legal event over various distances at Westwood Lake. Duncan para-dressage equestrian competitor Daelen Cleugh won a second gold medal on day two of the Games. After a successful first day of competition, Cleugh indicated he felt “less stressed today” and was happy with his ride. In other equestrian action, Queen Margaret’s School’s

Cowichan boys’ soccer teams hold their own at provincials Don Bodger

wo Cowichan Valley Soccer Association boys’ teams had a great time and played some great soccer in the Provincial B Cup championships at Richmond. Coach Al Longair’s U15 Cowichan Grizzlies opened with a tight 2-1 loss to the host Richmond team that could have gone either way except for a few close bounces. That was followed by two tough

games against top Lower Mainland teams. The Grizzlies played Coastal Cup champion South Burnaby and lost 5-0 and then 4-0 to Coastal Cup runner-up South Surrey. “In both games, the Grizzlies played extremely well,’’ noted Longair. “They never let up, but were simply outmatched.’’ After a skytrain trip to watch the Vancouver Whitecaps defeat Seattle at B.C. Place, the tired, but determined Grizzlies finished the tournament the next morning on a positive note with

a 3-1 win against Prince George. “Although not as successful as they had hoped on the scoreboard, the boys all worked very hard and had fun,’’ Longair indicated. The parents and families of the players were winners of the best cheering section and brought loud voices of encouragement and support to every game. Meanwhile, the U16 Gold Cowichan Spartans also ran into some competition and a bit of hard luck in finishing with two losses and two draws.

“The boys learned they can compete at that level,’’ said coach David Doughty. “I wasn’t disappointed. I thought the guys played well and they overachieved actually.’’ Without a meaningful game since March, it was tough for the Spartans to crank up the intensity. And goalkeeper Nathaniel White was out for a long period of time and just started back in training two weeks before the tournament. The first two games brought 1-0 and 4-1 losses to Prince George and New Westminster Royals, last year’s

champions, respectively. Games against Kootenay Storm and Richmond both ended in 1-1 draws. The Richmond game was abandoned with five minutes to play due to an injury to a Cowichan player. “I was quite pleased with the boys,’’ said Doughty. Outstanding performances were turned in by Levi Bekesza, Owen Powell, Logan Gilliland, Jeremy Stacey and Ty Crosson, but “everybody seemed to come out and shine,’’ said Doughty.
