Suspect nabbed after robber bear-sprays four in Duncan jewel heist Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
P
olice are investigating Saturday’s theft at Duncan’s Heritage Pawn Shop, where a masked man allegedly bear-sprayed four people inside the store then stole a display case ¿lled with diamond and gold jewelry. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Greg Pask said the arrested suspect from Surrey faces seven charges — including robbery with violence — after cops were called to the Whistler Street shop after the suspect Àed in a
1994 red BMW. “The vehicle and suspect were located by assisting members of the Ladysmith RCMP detachment,” Pask says in a press email about the alleged 10:20 a.m. robbery. “The 30-year-old suspect, Ryan Gunold, is a resident of the Lower Mainland and was transported to North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment for a bail hearing.” Gunold’s case was heard in Duncan Provincial Court Monday. He’s scheduled back in Duncan court July 17 to consider his release while authorities deal with his case, court staff said.
Shop owner Gord Malcolm said the suspect entered his shop just after it opened, then sprayed three staffers and a customer who were later treated by paramedics. “I walked through that spray 10 minutes later, and my eyes were burning,” said Malcolm, who was in his of¿ce and not hit. The heist was Heritage Pawn’s ¿rst, Malcolm said, noting his alleged stolen property is not insured. “He bear-sprayed, then grabbed the jewelry case and headed out to the car. It was the shop’s jewelry, not customers’. While I called 911, two of my guys chased him to his car
and they got a description of it.” That jewelry case, holding about 60 rings, was attached to the shop’s wall, he said. Its bottom fell out when the suspect grabbed it and pulled, Malcolm explained. “Most of the jewelry was left on the Àoor, and there was more in the parking lot.” Pask said police requested a warrant to search the BMW now in RCMP custody. The suspect also faces four charges of assault with a weapon (bear spray), one charge for wearing a disguise with intent, and one charge of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, Pask said.

THE BIG EVENT
Transportation firms are sought by island medical brass to haul Cowichan’s mobile MRI unit between Duncan’s hospital and facilities in Campbell River, Port Alberni and the Comox Valley. With state-of-the-art mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service set to roll in October, the Vancouver Island Health Authority is seeking a transportation company to move the unit between
the four communities. A request for proposals, posted June 29 by VIHA, specifies a tractor-trailer and driver to haul the mobile MRI unit. Bids close July 27. “Extreme care must be taken when moving the MRI between hospital sites due to its sensitivity, unique weight and of course, the high value of the
equipment,” said Bob Brandt, VIHA’s director of medical imaging. VIHA’s mobile MRI system is the first of its kind to be installed in a trailer in North America. It will be docked on specially designed pads being built at CDH, and hospitals in the three other communities. The diagnostic unit will be scheduled in each community on a rotation.
From local streets to the downtown stage 39 Days of July: Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival open mike helps man turn his life around Maeve Maguire
News Leader Pictorial
H
arold Anderson is a musician who sings from the heart about his complicated past. “If I’m singing about it, you know I’ve lived it,” he said. Anderson trained at the Royal Conservatory of Music and became a successful bass player before his life took a turn and he ended up living on the street. “I’ve slept in churches, graveyards, garages, under bridges. But I always had a goal in sight. I was driven.” Anderson’s dream of playing music came alive again, thanks to the open-mike session at last year’s summer festival in Duncan. Last summer, Anderson moved from living homeless in Chemainus’s Waterwheel Park to the Warmland House in Duncan. He said it is dif¿cult to explain the despair he felt prior to the move.
Dazed in Duncan By now, you’re likely familiar with the idea that the annual Duncan-Cowichan Summer Festival has stretched into a celebration known as the 39 Days of July. But the good times definitely come to a head this weekend. The festival’s apex, Duncan Daze, runs downtown Friday, Saturday and Sunday featuring all the traditional games and entertainments courtesy the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society. The children’s parade is set for 5: 30 p.m. Friday, followed by the grand parade, 11 p.m. Saturday, the pipers tattoo at 2 p.m. and the Duncan’s Got Talent championships at 3 p.m. at Charles Hoey Park. Sunday is Elders Day, capped by the Dal Richards Big Band show at 6 p.m. on the city square stage. Downtown entertainment continues until the festival wraps Monday, Aug. 6. For a complete list of activities go to cowichanfestival.com. For more, call 250-7481231.
“I don’t know if there are words to describe what it’s like to be without. And I mean without hope, without purpose, without direction. The only thing tying me to this world at certain times were my two daughters.” One day while practising his guitar, another resident told him about the open-mike session at the festival. Anderson went to the festival that day but he lacked the con¿dence to perform, “I wasn’t there mentally. I’m a hack and I just practise because it takes away the pain.” Anderson went back to the festival every day to watch other musicians play. Eventually he found the courage to ask his friend Mercedes Benoit, a musician he met while busking in Chemainus, to introduce him to Longevity John Falkner, the festival’s organizer — someone whose presence intimidated Anderson. “This big, tall, long-haired hippie type. I thought, this guy’s got it together. There was no way I could approach him.” When Falkner heard Anderson was homeless and wanted to perform during the open mike session, he said, “You know that’s the best time for the music to come out. Come on down.” Anderson performed the next day and went back ¿ve more times during the festival. His daughter was in the audience. Falkner addressed her and said, “You should be proud of your dad. He’s a talented guy.” Anderson was touched, especially given how intimidated he was of Falkner at the beginning. “Every little bit of appreciation and positive reinforcement goes such a long way the further down you are.” Falkner invited Anderson to play at the Duncan Garage Showroom. Now he plays there most Tuesday nights and has a repertoire of about 80 songs. “I would learn a song and go down to the Garage Showroom and perform it that night — and blow it sometimes, but as Long John says, it helps you get your legs under you in an environment that is conducive to what you are doing.” With his legs under him, Anderson is focused on getting his life back on track. He hopes to

I’d like to take what I’ve learned from my years of making wrong decisions — knowing full well they were wrong — and through music, theatre, or just clowning around, help young people think about what their options are.”

Rolling toward the Änish line Richard Peter: One of Cowichan’s most celebrated athletes prepares for Paralympic swan song in London Don Bodger

D
uncan’s Richard Peter hopes to bring a long and illustrious career in wheelchair basketball to a close in ¿ne style at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, England. “This will be my ¿fth and ¿nal (games),’’ announced Peter from Toronto where the national men’s team is currently training. “I’m retiring after this one, for sure.’’ Peter turns 40 the day after the Paralympic Games closing ceremony on Sept. 10. The Olympics, with valley athletes Emily Zurrer and Michael Braithwaite on the Canadian roster in soccer and rowing, respectively, run July 27 to Aug. 12 and the Paralympics take place Aug. 29 to Sept. 9. Peter ¿rst began playing wheelchair basketball at the age of 15. His Paralympic slate includes gold medals with the Canadian team at Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004, a silver medal in 2008 in Beijing and a ¿fth place in 1996 in Atlanta. One more gold would be the icing on the cake, but the competition is certain to be stiff. Peter expects host Great Britain, the United States and Australia to all be strong contenders. “There’s always some other teams that can come up and surprise you,’’ he added. As for the Canadian team, “we’ve got a good mix of veterans and young guys,’’ Peter said. “I’m not the oldest. There’s one or two guys that are older than I am.’’ A selection camp in January determined the composition of the 2012 team. “We select our team pretty early so we can train and work together all

The 12 guys on the team all bring a different skill set and Canada can go with a bigger or faster lineup depending who’s on the Àoor. Peter is frequently still one of the starting ¿ve who offers an important veteran presence. “It changes depending what team we’re playing with, too,’’ he said. “I usually start quite a bit, but that’s what’s great with our team right now. I wouldn’t say we have one lineup that plays the full 40 minutes. “I do whatever the team wants — pass the ball, play some good
defence and hit a few hoops whenever I can.’’ Peter and the national team will remain in Toronto until July 27 before returning to Vancouver for two weeks and then heading to London. Peter is a recent inductee in the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and the DuncanNorth Cowichan Wall of Fame. He’s always appreciative for all the great support back home. Now living in Vancouver, Peter intends to come back to the valley after the Paralympics for a bit of a community celebration when his retirement is of¿cial.

Letter carrier Betty Daynes urges folks to keep a helpful eye on neighbours after she helped save a local senior who’d fallen and lay on the Åoor for three days. “Her Lifeline (help monitor) was on her bedroom table and she couldn’t move to get it. “I guess she got up in the night to use the bathroom, and she fell and couldn’t get up.” The woman seemed OK but weak and disoriented as Daynes dialed 911. “She told me she was 57; she was a bit confused — I guess she’s actually 87,” she said of the woman who was still recovering in Cowichan District Hospital. “Mrs. Carr said she is getting physiotherapy because she can’t move her arm after she’d been (laying) on it so long,” she said, noting the woman lived alone and had no known relatives in Canada.I’d never met her, but she knew I was the mail lady.” “Betty’s a local hero,” said Duncan postal supervisor Graeme De Lusignan. “She went the extra step above and beyond the call of duty. “Another day on her own and this lady may not
have made it.” But Daynes was modest about the rescue, and realized her own shortcomings. “I felt kind of useless – I didn’t know enough (¿rst aid). It was upsetting to know she’d been lying there that long,” said the veteran postal worker who’s planning to take a St. John ¿rst-aid refresher course. Meanwhile, Daynes reminded locals to look out for each other, and notice any breaks in their neighbours’ habits. “People should be aware. Just because your neighbours have your key, doesn’t mean they’re invading your privacy. “Two years ago we had a friend who had a stroke, and no one found him for two days laying there. “Maybe this also says something about having mail delivery — sometimes letter carriers are the only people they see.”

Wedding = one day; your life together = a lifetime Who doesn’t want a terrific wedding? But you really need to look beyond the confetti and those tinkling glasses to your long-term financial life. Plan for a happy wedding but wthin a reasonable, affordable budget. Use the wedding budget process as a learning exercise for you and your partner to work together toward a shared financial goal.

ostie Betty Daynes became an accidental hero June 25, helping save a senior who lay helpless on her Àoor for three days. The 34-year Duncan letter carrier was delivering mail to the woman’s home at about 9 a.m. in a local trailer park when her Samaritan opportunity came. “When I went to put the mail in the slot, I heard some rummaging around and she said ‘Help,’” explained Daynes, who had never met the woman. “I tried to ¿gure out where the voice was. She said the key was somewhere on the front porch, but there was no key. Then she mentioned the neighbour across the street, Mrs. Carr, had a key, so I Àew over there but she didn’t have one,” said Daynes who later learned folks with the key had died some years ago. Carr suggested getting the park manager to break into the mobile home. “But I went to the back, and onto the porch where I found the door was open, and there she was lying halfway down the hallway.

Will this outsider represent this community? McKay: Community will must still be followed
A
lot of people remember Mike McKay from his previous stint in Cowichan nearly 20 years ago. And from our conversations, it seems most of the memories of Cowichan’s new — and only — school trustee are good ones. It will be interesting to observe whether that impression sticks a few years down the road. Now that he is the sole arbiter of what policies and programs are followed in the Cowichan Valley School District, will he start making decisions previous trustees wouldn’t or couldn’t? There was always an unstated implication in the provincial government’s negaAppointed tive response to pleas for more funding: trustee must there’s enough money there, it’s up to you to use it wisely. take our trust Closing schools, instituting fees for seriously busing, in-school advertising, property sell-offs and public-private partnerships are all ideas proposed and usually rejected by previous school boards. And those rejections usually happened based on what the trustees perceived were the wishes of the community. Will these and other ideas be reconsidered under McKay? An elected school trustee is given the community’s trust to oversee education resources in the community’s best interest. The ¿red school board decided it could best serve your interests by making the strongest political statement it could. But in the process, it has handed the decision-making reins to an outsider — a familiar face to be sure, but an outsider just the same. McKay has given no indication he is walking in here with any agenda. If he takes his post seriously, he will approach it no differently than any elected trustee. And he will be making his decisions with the greatest good of the community at heart. How he perceives that good, and what memories his decisions will create, remains to be seen.

This we like It’s sunny and hot and Summerfest is in full swing. Is there a better place to be right now than the Cowichan Valley? Make sure you get downtown this weekend to drink in the fun and the atmosphere. Make sure you are taking the time to get into the wild outdoors too. We’ve endured a lot of rain this year. It’s time to soak up the sunshine.

Big Sister can be tough when breast isn’t always best Ashley Degraaf
News Leader Pictorial
I
’m not going to beat around the bush. I’m not going to try to be funny. Every day I strive to be the best mom I can for my son, Jack. Every day I hate thinking my choice not to nurse is the missing piece in the puzzle. I’d like to create a discussion on what I think is becoming a dif¿cult subject for moms — breastfeeding, or more so the choice to stop, or to not breastfeed at all. Until my little guy was born, I considered breastfeeding the ideal route to go. I saw an image where a fashionable nursing cover draped over me as I nursed while sipping a coffee and chatting with friends. Dubbed over that image came reality — milk slow to arrive, stress as Jack dropped weight, nipple shields, latching struggles, engorgement, and everything that comes with developing
mastitis. When I found myself in tears yet again, trying to breastfeed Jack, I slipped out of body to reassess the situation. After a lot of heartache I made the choice to stop. Feeding time went from constant struggles to smooth sailing. Jack was happy and gaining weight. I could be at ease. Or so I thought. Then came the questions: “Are you breastfeeding?” The answer “No” was always anchored with guilt. I found myself feeling embarrassed at a friend’s place to pull a bottle of formula from my diaper bag in front of a group of girls who breastfeed. I clung to “It was a good choice” and “Jack will be still be healthy” only to be batted down by looks from health practitioners and constant messages in baby books, or from websites Àashing “breastfeeding is best.” It’s like a never-ending slap in the face.
It’s bad enough Duncan’s Heritage Pawn shop had to deal with a robbery last weekend. The fact the robber thought it would be a good idea to fill the store with bear spray is even worse. But at least there is a silver lining to this one — police acted quickly and co-operatively and a suspect was arrested in Ladysmith later that same day.
COWICHAN LEADERS
Just recently I saw on a Facebook mommy group a woman asking what kind of formula other moms are using. She was quickly reminded by another mom “breastfeeding is free.” Maybe the mom who asked the question was confused and thought her cleavage is where you deposited the coins to keep the milk coming. Why do other moms feel the need to chirp in when it’s likely the best decision for that mom’s situation has already been made? It’s sad moms who don’t breastfeed have to feel slighted. But it seems common territory now as there’s a huge push on women to breastfeed. I’ve talked to more than a few moms who said they felt awful when they didn’t or stopped. Let’s not automatically assume moms who aren’t nursing are lazy, or not mom enough to know the bene¿ts. There can be lots of dif¿culties, believe me.
Maybe the mom has to go back to work right away. Maybe she just isn’t fond of the idea of breastfeeding around others. I would like to give breastfeeding another go with our second child because there are health bene¿ts for baby and mom, and thanks to that mom on Facebook we’ve discovered it’s free. But let’s just be reminded, breastfeeding doesn’t always ¿t the bill. Let’s try to stop judging moms who aren’t meeting your expectations. And ¿nally maybe we can just focus on that last piece, what’s most important — happy families. Ashley Degraaf is a News Leader Pictorial reporter who writes here monthly while on maternity leave.

Cowichan could get carved up federally
T
he proposed creation of a new federal electoral district could divide the valley — literally. Due to population increases counted in the 2011 federal census, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia is proposing the new riding of South Cowichan-Juan de Fuca. If approved, the new riding would split Nanaimo-Cowichan, currently held by NDP MP Jean Crowder, and push the riding northward to encompass virtually all of Nanaimo, as well as part of Ladysmith and Lake Cowichan.

Bay and Chemainus will become part of the new riding. The changes could create electoral challenges for Crowder, who could run in either riding. First elected in 2004, Crowder has enjoyed strong NDP support in south Nanaimo and Duncan to help get her elected. While she would not speculate on political consequences of the proposed changes, Crowder admitted the change would be considerable. “I’m still in the process of digesting it, but over the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to talk to constituents to get their thoughts on it,” she said.

The Cowichan Valley loses a major historical Ägure
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial 15
Obituary: guiding light Myrtle Haslam remembered for making the Cowichan Valley Museum happen Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
C
owichan history-hero Myrtle Haslam, who pioneered the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives, has died. She was in her 80s. “Myrtle was the driving force in ¿nding a home for the museum,” said curator Kathryn Gagnon. “I think back to those who were passionate about ¿nding a home for the history and heritage of the valley, and no one else was doing this — there was the forest museum, but no one was doing the whole history of the valley. “She really understood that sometimes you just have to push to make things happen.” Haslam pushed local and provincial leaders, and even Via Rail brass, for use of Duncan’s heritage train station as the Cowichan Valley Museum, and later gained use of city hall’s third Àoor for the archives. Those busy archives house the Myrtle Haslam Gallery, featuring a collection of archival photo-

graphs. Little wonder Duncanborn Haslam joined the Àedgling Cowichan Historical Society — whose staff and volunteers run the museum and archives — soon after its incorporation in 1974. “Myrtle quickly became president, and was president for many years,” former museum curator Priscilla Lowe said. Haslam began lobbying, and negotiated the society’s
use of the landmark train station in 1986. It opened as the museum in 1989, replacing city hall’s basement as the museum. And it didn’t take much for her to land archives space in 2006 after Gagnon planted a seed in Haslam’s mind a year earlier. “I put a little bug in her ear, and the next thing I knew she was talking to Mayor Phil Kent about it. “Myrtle was amazing about eliciting positive
responses to requests for preserving the valley’s history; she was an excellent negotiator to get them on board.” Haslam’s heritage passengers included Kent. “Myrtle had a strong passion for heritage, and of course, being from (a longtime local family) she had a tremendous wealth of information and knowledge of this area — and she never forgot anybody,” he said of Haslam, whose maiden
name was Thorpe. Haslam’s legacy includes creating the Duncan History Book Society to land grants for writing the city’s rich history. It was published as author Tom Henry’s illustrated book Small City In A Big Valley. “Myrtle just had a special way of getting things done,” said Lowe. Services are set for July 21, at 2 p.m. in Duncan United Church.

oonshine won’t be poured during the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival this weekend. But fans could win a guitar or other prizes while listening to six bands at Waterwheel park. It’s just part of the musical mayhem distilled by festival guitar-picking impresario Bob Johns of the Bluegrass Fever band. “We’re extending it to over two days,” he said of the follow to 2011’s one-day festival. “We wanted more of a bluegrass festival. Most are two days and last year did well — we had really bad weather but it worked out well in spite of that.” Johns is praying for sunny skies during the Saturday and Sunday bluegrass bash studded with Paci¿c Northwest bands. “Every band sounds different. The sound’s driven by instrumentalists in the band. I’m looking forward to The June Bugs with four women all harmonizing.” Johns was also jazzed about ¿ne-tuned sounds in Waterwheel. Other pickers on parade include The Clover Point Drifters, the Maple Mountain Boys, Bryon Clayton Thomas, and Runaway Train “People enjoy Washington State’s Runaway Train quartet how it sounds features banjo wizardry with great playof 17-year-old Luke Dewhirst , plus upright ers, the average bassist Kent Powell, guy can play Greg Linder on guitar and vocals, and manalong too.” dolinist Nolan Elwell.

Nazareth pours fans a stiff dose of Scotch and roll Review: Veteran rock band offers routine classic rock show after DEO’s skull session Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
A
white glow of cellphones has replaced the Àicker of Bic lighters, but local hard-rock fans remained loyal to Nazareth during Thursday’s packed Cowichan Theatre return. The island exclusive, launching Nazareth’s tour of Scotch ‘n’ roll fare, was basically a repeat of its 2005 concert — feisty, oft-foul mouthed Dan McCafferty’s scorched vocals backed by Jimmy Murrison’s adept guitar work, while bass-ace Pete Agnew and drumming son, Lee Agnew, kept a concrete beat. The Scottish lads sure gave fans their money’s worth, playing memorable, monster hits spanning Hair Of The Dog, Whiskey-Drinking Woman, This Flight Tonight, Dream On, J.J. Cale’s Cocaine,
TEAMAN DUNC
This Month’s Messiah, and Telegram. But road-warrior McCafferty’s battle scars Àared during Changin’ Times, when he appeared to have strained his voice, and walked off stage. That left Murrison to do a smoking guitar solo until McCafferty reappeared. The 65-year-old singer seemed to vocally coast, slinging a bagpipe rig for sound effects on Hair Of The Dog. Nazareth encored well with Night Woman, Razamanaz, and Love Hurts, before bowing out to a standing O. It all seemed pedestrian somehow. But apparently good enough for fans expecting Nazareth hits. It was all-good, too, for fans applauding local boys in Dead Eyes Open, who nicely warmed the stage with a half-dozen, moshworthy numbers. Point man David Frealic mostly screamed through Vital Signs, Ghost Town, Billy Idol’s White Wedding, and a yell-fest called We Rule The Wasteland. If unintelligible lyrics, with a death chorus, is your cup of tea, try DEO. That said, it was great seeing young, local talent
given a chance to open for legendary rockers, after arrangements for DEO’s opening gig were paved
by theatre boss Kirsten Schrader. Rock concert rating: 8 vocal chords out of 10.

DEATHS ANTONIUK Michael Lance
Passed away suddenly on Monday July 2, 2012. Born in Vancouver BC on September 3, 1966. Predeceased by his mother Laura. Lovingly remembered by his family; father Marvin; sisters Marvina, Myra (Rick) brothers Marvin, Mark (Catherine), Mitch (Kelly), brother and best friend Miles and his nieces and nephews Samantha, Rhys, Chase, Hannah, Cade, Evie, Emma and Olivia. Mike was always willing to help, he had a strong back and the capacity to problem solve. He was a handyman, mover, gardener and sometimes a peacekeeper. At times he appeared to be a follower but never compromised who he was; and that is a quality found in a good leader. Mike led by example, though we often were to blind to see. Mike was compassionate, generous, loyal, helpful, loving and always giving freely of himself. We often received these gifts you gave without appreciating their true value. It is true we don’t realize what we have until it is gone. We will strive to learn what you tried to teach us. Who will be the handyman, driver, mover and friend now that you are cutting God’s hedges. We miss you with love from all of us. Until we meet again may you ďŹ nd love and peace in Mom’s arms. A private family gathering will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com H.W. Wallace 251 Jubilee St. 250-701-0001

October 26th 1946 – July 2nd 2012 With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Ejner Hansen at his home in Duncan, B.C. Ejner was born in Vojens, Denmark on October 26, 1946. He came to Canada with his parents and two sisters in 1957. He was predeceased by his father Jen in 2008. he is survived by his dear friend Gail and her family, his mother Johanne, daughter Kerri (Jay) Tranberg, Dana (Brian) Jackman, Shannon Hansen, Toni Hansen, Jenny (Brent) Bowden and their families, sisters Birthe (Phil) Weiten, Kirsten Wilkinson (Paul) and their families. Ejner also leaves behind nine grandchildren and ďŹ ve great grandchildren and his canine companion Jackson. At a very young age Ejner began his professional career as a welder by his father’s side at Jens Hansen Ornamental Iron, Welding and Repair. Later he went on to Duncan Iron Works, ProMac, Hayes Logging and after many years of selfemployment with Hansen’s Rail and Repair he then retired to enjoy the many passions he loved. He loved music, singing, dancing, his beautiful Rhododendrons, as well as his collector cars and his 1928 Ford Model A Hot Rod. Ejner loved his family. He was a sensitive man with a sentimental heart; he enjoyed celebrations and holidays where everyone came together. Christmas was always a traditional gathering he enjoyed. Ejner looked forward to the summer when the boat came out and time for camping and ďŹ shing with family and friends. He loved animals and the great outdoors . Ejner was a good friends to all, he was always there if you needed him to give a hand or lend a shoulder to cry on. He will be missed by all the people he touched in his life. Lift a glass and wish him well, he was here for a good time, not a long time. A Celebration of Ejner’s life will be held on July 14, 2012 at 1:00 pm at the Cowichan Rugby Club located at 1860 Herd Rd, Duncan, B.C. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

SPORTS SCENE
Duncan Christian School’s Douglas Groenendijk is the recipient of this year’s Jack Boersma Award from B.C. Christian Schools. The award, named after a longtime coach and P.E. teacher from Abbotsford Christian, is the same one DCS twins Rachael and Olivia Bakker
received last year. The criteria for the award includes: athletic ability and performance, scholastic achievement and goals with a minimum average of C+ required, leadership and character, and school, community and church participation. Groenendijk fit the bill as the DCS
boys’ junior athlete of the year award plus most improved player on the senior boys’ volleyball team, most valuable member of his bowling team, MVP of the island basketball playoffs and a top junior boys’ track athlete. He receives up to $250 towards the sports camp of his choice.

Lois Richmond, Steve Taylor and Laura Angrove were the other members of the winning rink. Roz Craig and Gary and LeeAnn Ouellette made up the rest of Wes Craig’s foursome. Bruce Joanisse of Victoria, uncle of famed curler Dean, defeated Leslie Shearer of Nanaimo for top honours in the Duncan Iron Works B event. Marie Cooke’s team won over Ken Sawyer in a battle of Kerry Park rinks in the Orka Graphiks C event ¿nal. Kerry Park’s Dave Shorthill (Heather Broughton, Keith Clarke, Myrna Proulx) beat Keith Ainsley 5-3 in the Malahat Lions Club D event ¿nal. A total of 24 rinks participated.
f the three Cowichan Valley Lacrosse Association teams going to the provincial championships, the Peewee C Thunder seemed the most unlikely candidate to emerge from the pack. Not much was expected from the Peewee C Thunder this season. But just as most everyone had written the team off, the Thunder found a winning formula and took it all the way to the island championship. After losing six straight league games to start the year, it didn’t look good for the Thunder. But attaining the bronze medal in the Captain Cook tournament proved to be a turning point. “All of a sudden, I found out how to turn the switch on,’’ said Cowichan coach Greg Mitchell. He attributed the slow start to several factors. “Four or ¿ve kids had been playing spring hockey,’’ said Mitchell. “They were sporadic. “As soon as they came out, I had my 14-15 players and, boom, off we went.’’ The team ¿nished 8-7-1 in the regular season, went 3-1 at Captain Cook and added three playoff wins for an amazing overall mark of 14-8-1 considering where the team started. “It just worked out really good,’’ said Mitchell. “It’s one of those rare teams where I have great parents and great kids.’’ A dynamite scorer also emerged in the midst of the team’s surge. Kahlil Fontana scored 44 goals in 13 league games. The playoff round brought a two-game sweep in a best-of-three series against Campbell River, last year’s champs, at the Nanaimo Ice Centre 11-6 and 14-6. Cowichan took period leads of 5-2 and 7-4 en route to victory in the ¿rst game. Fontana scored eight goals to lead the attack. Kaleb Kenner added a goal and three assists, Max Gammie and Ty Brant each had a goal and Keegan Smith recorded two assists. A solid game was played in goal by Mack Insley. Fontana was on ¿re again in the second game

with seven goals and two assists. Brant had a hat trick to go along with two assists, Gammie netted a pair of goals, Smith and Kyle Wells scored singles, Insley and Jordan Mattin-Gosling each picked up two assists and single assists went to Kenner, Mickey Johnnie and Brendan McDill. Hunter Wells, Eric McKinnon and Wyatt Chattell all played great defensive games. Campbell River led 3-1 after the ¿rst period before Cowichan took over. The triumph led to a single game island ¿nal Saturday at the Panorama Leisure Centre against Juan de Fuca and Cowichan prevailed 11-5. Fontana provided the spark with six goals and one assist. Chipping in single goals were: Brant, Gammie, Kenner, Chattell and Kyle Wells. Insley and Johnnie each collected two assists while Smith and Kyle Wells added one apiece. McKinnon, Hunter Wells and Hunter Winship were defensive stalwarts. Cowichan plays its ¿rst game in the provincials at Richmond Friday against Burnaby.
Midgets win decisive third game The Cowichan Valley Midget A2 Thunder is heading to the provincial championships in Port Coquitlam this weekend. Luke Frost scored a hat trick, Adam Golia added a pair and Tyson Black notched a single, as Cowichan won 6-3 in Nanaimo Thursday in the deciding game for the island title. Golia also chalked up three assists and Black had two. “We’ve got a good little squad, considering I had 15 kids come to tryouts and everyone made the team,’’ said coach Lorne Winship. “They’re a great bunch of kids.’’ The game was tied 3-3 after the second period, but the Thunder prevailed with three unanswered goals in the third. Appollo Claxton was a standout in goal. The preceding game at Fuller Lake Arena last Tuesday ended in a 6-5 loss despite Braylon Lumb’s two goals and singles from Black, Golia and Brandon Corby.

Sevens rugby back after a long hiatus
Teams entering Dragons’ Den
Revival time: Extra effort required by players to cover all the wide open spaces on the field
Hot action: Duncan squad hosting provincial U16 B girls’ fastpitch playoffs

T
he resurgence and popularity of sevens rugby prompted Jake Teufel to revive a longstanding Cowichan Rugby Club tradition. The Herd Road Grounds used to be the site of a huge sevens tournament Labour Day weekend to kick off the season. That eventually fell by the wayside. But Teufel remembered those tournaments from his youth and thought the time might be right to start one up again. He contacted some friends from members of the North Island League and staged the Cowichan Invitational Sevens Saturday at the club with ¿ve teams. “I kind of thought about it, sevens is getting big again with the Olympics coming up,’’ said Teufel. “It was with the intentions of keeping it small for the ¿rst year. I started contacting the teams a month and a half ago. I kept it real cheap.’’ Rugby sevens will make its debut as an Olympic sport in 2016. In the meantime, a bunch of guys from the Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Comox clubs joined Cowichan 1 and Cowichan A entries and enjoyed a runaround on
a hot day and found out how hard it is to play two seven-and-a-half minute halves and a total of just 15 minutes per game on a wide open ¿eld with loads of running space. “What a beautiful day it was,’’ said Teufel. “But I don’t envy the guys that were out there.’’ Nanaimo seemed to beat the heat better than everyone else to place ¿rst in the round robin. “They had a real big, fast, strong backline,’’ said Teufel. Nanaimo’s victory was bittersweet for Teufel, with former Cowichan player Dennis Murphy serving as captain of the squad and stealing the limelight. “I had to present him with the trophy which is always a slap in the teeth,’’ Teufel joked. The trophy was a Texas mickey on a normal trophy base. There is an actual trophy from the previous sevens tournament and Teufel plans to bring it out of mothballs next year. “It was great to see all these guys,’’ he summed up. “You play 15s all year against them. It’s a different game. “A lot of the guys on the ¿eld were saying, ‘I’ve never played sevens before, this is weird.’’’ Weird or not, all agreed it was wonderful and they’ll be back. “I think it was a success and we’ll build on that,’’ said Teufel.

Mary-Kate Cross Relay and individual success have made it a dream track and field season for Mary-Kate Cross. Being on the provincial high school champion 4x100 Frances Kelsey senior girls’ relay team set her up nicely for subsequent meets. “It’s still kind of crazy,’’ said Cross, 17, of the hype that surrounded the team’s victory. “I wasn’t expecting this from this season. This was me getting back into it for next season.’’ She’s also been running the 100 and 200 metres effectively for Kelsey and the CVAC Jaguars individually. “I think I’m better at the 200,’’ said Cross, who started sprinting in Grade 3 but only joined CVACs last year. “I have a better acceleration phase toward the middle of my run.’’ She’s aiming to be at her best for the nationals in August in Prince Edward Island. view video at www.cowichannewsleader.com/Don Bodger

ifteen other teams are invading the Dragons’ Den next weekend. The Dragons will be defending their territory in the provincial Under 16 B girls’ fastpitch championships taking place at Duncan’s Evans Park Friday, July 13 through Sunday, July 15. The full roster of visiting teams includes: Nanaimo Breakers, Strawberry Vale Storm, North Shore Stars, Vancouver Wildcats ‘96, Richmond Islanders ‘96B, Fleetwood Force ‘96, Abbotsford Outlaws ‘97B, Kelowna Heat, Cranbrook Heat, Peninsula Power ‘97, Prince George Thunderbirds, Ridge Meadows Rage, Port Coquitlam Ravens, North Delta Sun¿re ‘96 and Surrey Storm ‘96B. The exact draw won’t be determined until a day before the tournament. “All the coaches get together and pull a number out of a hat or whatever,’’ said tournament director and the Duncan Junior Baseball Association’s vice-president of softball Mike Bates. Game action will begin at 8 a.m. Friday, with the opening ceremonies at 4:30 p.m. The round robin continues until mid-afternoon on Saturday. “The elimination draw starts after that,’’ said Bates. The eventual winner will be crowned by late Sunday afternoon. Current Dragons’ head coach Kevin Olender was the vice-president of softball when Duncan applied for the tournament and received noti¿cation of acceptance. “We found out in December we got it,’’ said Bates. “Ever since then we’ve been working on it.’’ The frequency of meetings has gone from occasionally in the beginning to three times a week to every day now as the event draws near. Volunteers are still needed for the event, particularly experienced scorekeepers. Contact Bates (250-709-7137) for details. The Dragons are entering the tournament on a high, having won their division in the Canadian Open fastpitch championships at South Surrey and the district title before that.

ATHLETICS
Former CVACs athlete Haleigh Lloyd had a phenomenal season with Seawolf Athletics at the University of Alaska at Anchorage. Lloyd, a 2010 Ladysmith Secondary School grad, broke her own university record for the 100and 400-metre hurdles. Her 4x100
relay team also broke a record. Lloyd set a Great Northwest Athletic Conference record in the 400 hurdles in 59.98 seconds in Salem, Oregon and then bettered it in Azusa, California to 59.62. At the GNAC conference meet, Lloyd’s focus was on the 100
hurdles and she won the conference title with a huge personal best time of 14.23. At the NCAA Div. 2 championships in Pueblo, Colorado, Lloyd earned All-American honours in the 400 hurdles final, finishing seventh in 59.91.
Athletes Änd a challenge to their liking Cowichan Challenge: Event remains true to its roots while also keeping triathlon veterans on their toes Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
I
deal conditions, a large turnout of athletes and solid spectator support all added up to a great Cowichan Challenge triathlon Sunday. The event based at Fuller Lake Park attracted nearly 230 participants — 156 individuals in the main and sprint events plus members of 20 relay teams in the two categories. It was only back in 2007 when the event wasn’t held due to unsafe conditions on the Chemainus River bridge on the cycling route so it’s been an amazing build-up again in such a short time. “There’s way more spectators,’’ added race director Janine Frank. Triathlon veterans and newcomers alike enjoyed the perfect weather. “We try to keep this grassroots,’’ said Frank. “We could not do this without the volunteers and it’s hours of work.’’ But Frank puts the call out every year to the CeeVacs Road Runners and friends of CeeVacs to ¿ll the roles of the 60+ volunteers. The athletes were full of praise for the volunteers and tested their respective limits on the swimming, biking and running circuits. Sheron Chrysler of CeeVacs has done about a million running events, but this was only her third triathlon overall and second time entering the Cowichan Challenge. “I absolutely love it,’’ she said. “This is the best triathlon on the planet.’’ It was also by far the best for
Chrysler after she was slowed by a Àat tire on her bike last year. “I just felt good the whole way and the volunteers rocked the whole way,’’ she said. Other prominent CeeVacs members also did their ¿rst triathlons or moved up to the longer distance for the ¿rst time. Byron Trajan, 31, of Nanaimo was ¿rst in the 1,000-metre swim, 34 km bike and nine km run that made up the main event in 1:45:05, just 20 seconds ahead of valley triathlon legend Jason Sandquist. “The bike course is tough; overall, I felt really good,’’ said Trajan. It’s the fourth time Trajan has completed the event. “I think I’ve gotten faster each year,’’ he said. “It always inspires me to come back.’’ After ¿nishing second to fellow Nanaimo resident Stefan Jakobsen twice, Trajan was happy to take over top spot. Jakobsen still shared in some glory as part of the main event relay team winners in a combined time of 1:52:31. “I’m always gunning for it,’’ said Trajan. “I never know who’s going to show up. It’s nice to win, but I always want to do a best time.’’ Trajan had to overtake Sandquist, who’s still a triathlon marvel at 43, for the win. Sandquist heads right into the World Championship Half Ironman quali¿er at Lake Stevens, Washington this weekend. He’ll be aiming to earn a spot in the Half Iron World Championships in Las Vegas. “This is a tune-up to go fast, go short so you don’t wreck yourself,’’ said Sandquist of the challenge.

Athletes literally come out of the woodwork during the Cowichan Challenge triathlon. Lesley Hartford, above, and Jeremy Kissack, bottom left, are on the run as they emerge from the woods in different locations. Jason Sandquist, bottom right, takes the high road near Fuller Lake Arena and Trevor Marc pushes the pedals hard on the bike on the backroads near Westholme. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s nice to be able to race at home.’’ Erik Evans was the winner of the 500-metre swim, 16 km bike and ¿ve km run in the sprint event in 55:34 followed by Nick Gottfried in 1:00:32 and Jason Hare in 1:02:47. Cam McDiarmid came fourth in 1:03:08, with stepson Eric Hartford breathing down his neck four seconds behind. They didn’t actually race together. “We kind of thought it might

turn out that way,’’ said McDiarmid. “I heard people say, ‘go, Eric’ and then I knew how it was.’’ “We didn’t truly plan it,’’ said Hartford. Both love the atmosphere. “It’s a great event,’’ said McDiarmid. “It’s well-run. “You kind of know everybody. It’s a neat venue that way.’’ Team Tillie won the sprint relay in 1:06:52.
