Appointed school trustee passes balanced budget

UP FRONT
Two weeks after School District 79’s trustees were fired for adopting a deficit budget, a balanced one has taken its place. Government-appointed trustee Mike McKay adopted his $82.4-million fiscal plan for Cowichan’s school district on Monday. The budget removes what the former
board called restorative pieces, and makes a few other adjustments to balance the books. Savings were found in trustee remuneration and travel, since the nine-member board was removed, while additions include $25,000 into the legal fees budget, and about a half-million dollars into teach-
ers for the international program, and staff contingencies (funded through a surplus of about $300,000). Cowichan’s elected board was fired July 1 after refusing to submit a balanced budget to the Ministry of Education by June 30.

Aboriginal grad rates poised to jump by 50 per cent Cowichan Valley School District: Aboriginal education programs showing significant success Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
T
here are statistics to show signi¿cant improvements are being made in Aboriginal education in the Cowichan
Valley. An Aboriginal graduate rate that jumped to 55.1 per cent from 35.6 per cent in a single year, for example. And that rate is set to jump again — by as much as 50 per cent — when June 2012’s grads are counted. But more importantly, there are students who can demonstrate those improvements. Angelina Rice-Louis, for instance, just graduated with a district scholarship from Cowichan Secondary School, where she participated in Cowichan’s ¿rst full-semester Hul’qumi’num language course. “Last year we had little bits and pieces (of Hul’qumi’num instruction), but this year we actually had a Hul’qumi’num class,” RiceLouis said. The course, taught by Stuart Pagaduan, is one of several improvements made in Aboriginal education in the district in the past few years.
There’s a more collaborative relationship with the Hwulmuhw Mustimuhw Education Council, a restructured Aboriginal education department, and dollars focused on more Aboriginal education teachers and Hul’qumi’num curriculum and resource development. Aboriginal education’s viceprincipal, Denise Augustine, says increases in educators have been signi¿cant. This past school year saw three more full-time equivalent Aboriginal education teachers, and ¿ve new cultural teaching assistants — a 100 per cent increase. “I think they’re making a tremendous difference,” Augustine said. “It’s a really interesting, inclusive way for everyone to develop a common understanding.” Coast Salish studies, as well as Hul’qumi’num language courses, are also on the rise. “It’s pretty interesting to see more Aboriginal students going to class, because there are the First Nation classes,” says Cowichan Secondary School graduate Sarah Peter. “There’s First Nations art, and Hul’qumi’num, and First Nations studies.” And Augustine said that even after just a couple of years of increased focus in Aboriginal education, the district is already
Aboriginal education in Cowichan This year a team of nine full-time equivalent Aboriginal education teachers worked with 10 culture and language teaching assistants, 14 Aboriginal student support workers, five itinerant teachers (who travel between several schools), plus the department’s vice-principal and curriculum co-ordinator on Aboriginal education in School District 79. They serve the district’s 1,349 Aboriginal students, as well as the rest of the district’s population learning about Indigenous language, culture and history. For example, some cultural teaching assistants work with classroom teachers to integrate daily Hul’qumi’num studies into kids’ studies, while others assist classrooms in cultural activities such as learning how to make paddles. The district now also offers a dedicated Coast Salish studies

class at Chemainus secondary and Quamichan middle schools. And the district is celebrating the increasing number of grads who participate in the Aboriginal Education graduation ceremony in June. Four years ago, just 20 students attended. This year, 42 participated. For department vice-principal Denise Augustine, next steps include an emphasis Angelina Rice-Louis on early childhood programs, and increasing the number of semi-fluent Hul’qumi’num speakers while bringing them closer to fluency.
more proud they are to acknowledge their success,” she said. “A light is being shone more on our students’ successes, and at the same time, there is more success. It’s that ripple effect.” “It means a lot to me,” said RiceLouis about the chance to learn Hul’qumi’num in school. “We’re losing our language, but I’ll be able to help keep the Hul’qumi’num culture alive.” “For First Nations families, if we lose our language, we’ve lost — but everyone loses, too, because in that language is so much information,” Augustine added. “It’s really exciting seeing that all kids are excited to learn (about the history and culture), and I love it when I see my nieces or nephews sitting a little taller with pride

because their class is talking about something they already know about, or when I see kids who don’t know the history drinking in it. It’s exciting.” Peter pointed out that a growing number of non-Aboriginal students are also participating in First Nations studies. “There used to be a few nonAboriginal students in the First Nations studies class, but there are quite a few more now, and it was pretty interesting to see the nonAboriginal students learning, and asking questions,” she said. “It’s encouraging to see more Aboriginal students going to school more often, and continuing on with their studies,” Peter added. “It makes them realize that can do more, and be more.”

disagreement about the reburial of ancient remains and artifacts found at the Mill Bay Marina property has created friction between the site’s developers and the neighbouring Malahat First Nation. It’s been about seven months since the remains of four people were discovered at the Handy Road site during excavation work. Since then, the count has grown to include nine people and a variety of ancient artifacts. As reported previously, the property’s developers partnered with an archeologist when work began on the site as part of their alteration permit granted by the province. This is standard procedure in areas were artifacts are likely to be found. And when human remains were discovered, a full-scale archeological dig was commissioned and paid for by the developers. Malahat Chief Michael Harry says since then, about half-a-dozen meetings have taken place between the relevant parties. “And we had a number of elders at some of the meetings and we talked about the stories and how that site used to be an old village,” Harry said on Tuesday. Elder Randy Daniels explained that according to elder teachings, the area around Shawnigan Creek and Mill Bay was a Malahat ¿shing village that supplied coho salmon to First Nations people. “So we ¿nd that our elders have spoken true for many years,” said Daniels, “and it’s been a sort of happy occasion for that, but at the same time it’s a sad occasion because (the developers) have dug up the remains of our ancestors, and

eports of zombie attacks have been cropping up across the continent recently, and it appears Cowichan is not immune. A mass gathering of the undead is scheduled for Saturday evening in downtown Duncan. But event organizer and zombie Scarlet Carnage says the Duncan Zombie Walk is a family affair. “It’s a zombie mob. They accept anyone and everyone — zombies don’t discriminate.” The walk starts at 6 p.m. in front of the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s Ingram Street of¿ce, and will shufÀe through the streets of Duncan on the way to zombie events at the city square and Charles Hoey Park stages. There’s a brain-eating competition, zombie pin-up contest, and prizes for best family, best costume, and more.

Georgia O’Brien was among those done up in ghoulish makeup for the Mexican traditional festival El Dia De Los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) at Charles Hoey Park Nov. 2. On Saturday, downtown gets ghoulish again with the debut of the Duncan Zombie Walk. “The city square stage has the Cookie Monsters performing, and that’s going to be more of the family area,” Carnage said. “At the Hoey Park stage Zuzu’s Petals are going to be playing, and that’s where we’ll have the pin-up contest.” Carnage had a few dress-up tips for aspiring zombies. “Use lots of fake blood, or strawberry syrup if you don’t have fake blood around — it’s sticky,
but less staining,” she said. “As long as you cake your makeup, it will protect you a little bit. Also, ripped, dirty clothing is always a good thing. “You don’t see too many zombies in nicely tailored and pressed Armani suits. If you’re going to wear an Armani suit, de¿nitely roll around in the dirt a little ¿rst.” For more information, visit the Duncan Zombie Walk Facebook page.

instead. The second-annual Mud Bunnies for Charity event featured six teams of two taking up the unusual challenge Saturday outside the Brass Bell Pub in Crofton. Organizer Donna May Hegglund said proceeds of the fundraiser were the same as last year’s inaugural Mud Bunnies for Cancer event. “I think we’re around $4,500,’’ she said. Proceeds this year are being split between the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation and the Chemainus Health Care Foundation. Hegglund dreamed up the event after her dad died in 2010. She reasoned he would have loved something fun as a remembrance. “I think he would have been happier this year,’’ she said. “There was a bigger turnout of girls.’’ The mud for the wrestling pit was transported from Butler Brothers to the site by Winter Trucking.
Break-in call leads police to rooftop Äre Krista Siefken
News Leader Pictorial
A
n attempted break-in at Duncan’s Salvation Army may have been a blessing in disguise since it also led police to noticing the start of a ¿re on the store’s roof. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP were called to the Trans-Canada Highway store just after 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, after a witness reported two men seen trying to pry its front door open. Police attended in multiple vehicles but did not locate the suspects, who were described as two Caucasian males in their early 20s. Cpl. Greg Pask said the store’s alarm remained armed, with no entry gained and no damage to the local thrift store. While on scene, though, one of the police of¿cers saw smoke coming from the store’s roof, which was being replaced during the day. The Duncan Fire Department was called and quickly extinguished the burning roo¿ng material. “The ¿re was determined not to be suspicious,” said Pask, “and no access to the building or roof by any suspects was gained.”

Sarah Kopf, left, and Jennifer Biscoe do a little dance in the mudpit during the second annual Mud Bunnies for Cancer fundraiser outside the Brass Bell Pub in Crofton Saturday. “It was way more fun than I thought,’’ said mud wrestling participant Sarah Kopf. “I was scared all day, but it was worth it,’’ said Jennifer Biscoe, who got roped into it as an employee of the pub. Hegglund moved the event from May last year to July and ¿gures the change worked out better. “It made a big difference,’’ she said. “It was a lot warmer and we had a bigger crowd turnout and
the girls weren’t so cold. Last year, they were freezing. The mud was so cold.’’ The fundraiser also included drilling and plunger challenges, a silent auction and more. Hegglund spent a month and a half on the preparations, but felt it was all worth it in the end as a tribute to her father and to raise funds for the a worthwhile cause. “That’s what it was all about,’’ she said.

There’s a cost to not offering an aquatic free ride Cowichan pool: eliminate two-tier, find fair tax formula
I
magine you and a buddy carpool to work. You’re full-time, he’s part-time. He doesn’t have a car and doesn’t chip in gas money. It bugs you a bit, but you’re going the same way, so you don’t say anything. Then your car dies. Permanently. A replacement is more than you can afford, but you need a car so you bite the bullet and buy one. But to cope with the payments you need some help. So you decide to ask your buddy to fork over some gas money. “Sorry,” he says, “I don’t have the cash.” Offended, you say he shouldn’t expect Operators you to be his taxi service. If he wants a need pool usride, he has to pay his fair share. man,” he replies, “I don’t need ers more than the“Hey job that much. I quit.” two-tier fees So he does. And you ride to work alone. Initially, things are OK. But without your buddy’s help work soon starts piling up. You start falling behind. Missing your lunch break. Working late. The job is an endless treadmill. You need help. You ask around, but no one wants the job. Meanwhile, your car payment hasn’t gone down and your workday has become a nightmare. Do you swallow your pride and offer to give your old friend a free ride if he takes his job back? That, in essence, is the dilemma North Cowichan and Duncan are facing with the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. They are right in principle, but practically speaking, the two-tier payment system is turning the pool into an anchor. Two-tier pricing is scaring away customers and killing pool use and programs. The right thing to do is to go to a single fee. And then the politicians need to put their self-interest aside and ¿nd a no-prejudice, fair, regional recreation funding formula that rids our valley of this tedious issue once and for all.
We say:

The case for Duncan Daze is always fun, but you have to say it can use a kickstart to rev the excitement level every once in a while. The addition of motorcycles did exactly that. Big crowds took in the event and the speeding cycles thrilled. The biggest response was “we want more.” Legitimate questions were raised, but organizers will be certain to make sure they are addressed.

Fired board could change education delivery Patrick Hrushowy
News Leader Pictorial
N
ow that the ¿ve former school district trustees have had their 15 minutes of fame as social justice warriors, who cares? And does it really matter? I would argue very few people care they were ¿red, but I would also suggest it matters a if we are to gain any“The whole valley lot thing from what really was a pointless exercise. treated the event If anyone really cared, with a yawn.” where was the crowd of protestors when of¿cial trustee Mike McKay presided over his ¿rst public meeting last week? I think the whole valley treated the event with a yawn. Enough said on that.
Hrushowy
Now, why does it really matter? First and foremost, this entire affair came about as a result of inserting partisan politics into what most de¿nitely should be local and non-partisan in nature. In effect, those ¿ve rebel trustees had begun to ¿ght the next provincial election to be held next May. They all knew, or should have known, Minister of Education George Abbott was not going to cave to their “restoration” budget when the law requires a school district to present a balanced budget. It was all show for political effect — to inÀict political damage on a government they did not consider friendly. People should understand school district trustees have a dif¿cult job that is hugely constrained by a horde of rules, regulations and policies established by the provincial government. Within those limitations it is their job to ensure the budget they get from the province is spent in a manner that matches community needs as closely as possible.
Nothing against the motorcycles but this year’s activities came across as not having all the “I”s dotted and “T”s crossed. The noise had to have been annoying, particularly to those listening to music at Hoey Park. And we were lucky the lack of barricades during Insane Kane’s parade display didn’t result in something unfortunate. These issues need to be addressed.
COWICHAN LEADERS
There are always more demands for services than there is available budget, especially in an era of declining school enrolment. It is this opportunity to ensure local needs are met as much as possible that is lost when school trustees decide to escalate their role into partisan provincial politics. It’s not a stretch to suggest the needs and requirements of the students themselves get lost when trustees mount their partisan high horses in apparent support of these same students. This is certainly true in the near-term. That this could even happen shows our system of electing people to oversee the administration of the money provided by Victoria for K-12 education is badly in need of a rethink. Voter interest in school board elections has traditionally been low with just 30 per cent of eligible voters participating in 2011. The voting area is dauntingly large — almost as large as the two provincial constituency areas
covering the valley combined. No candidate could ever justify the expense of actually campaigning across the whole voting area, which means candidates backed by an organized interest group can easily hijack the process and elect a majority. That said, School District 79 has a professional and capable staff complement, that will be guided expertly by the widely respected McKay. We may ¿nd matters function quite well under this arrangement and this whole exercise may, in hindsight, be seen as the tipping point that leads the province to a whole new way of managing the delivery of education at the local level.

YOUR TURN
What would you think of dropping the two-tier fee system at the Cowichan Aquannis Pool “It’s a great idea because it makes it affordable for people outside Duncan and North Cowichan. I couldn’t afford to go with my kids at the price it is.”
Ryan Clark, North Cowichan
“It’s a really good idea. Two-tier alienates a huge percentage of people who should be using the pool. Fitness should be available to everyone. Two-tier stops some who feel penalized because of where they live.”

Chemainus needs its town square
Sorry, oil-free dream doesn’t exist
Dear editor The B.C. artists campaigning for an “oil-free coast” are promoting something that doesn’t exist. It is ludicrous to talk about an oil-free coast when tankers already travel along our shorelines to service re¿neries and oil facilties in Alaska, Washington State and British Columbia, including Vancouver Harbour, and have been for years. Oil pipelines already exist and are certainly not going to be shut down. Their goal is completely unrealistic. Dave Laundy

“State health insurance in B.C. would benefit hospitals, employers and employees and if it were operated on a sound actuarial basis no increase in taxation would result,” C. F. Davie, K.C. told Duncan Rotary Club.
1935: labour
At Stephen Dougan’s home at Cobble Hill, residents decided to investigate a high school area made up of the South Cowichan, Bench, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Sylvania, Shawnigan Lake, Bamberton, Malahat and Shawnigan Lake West.

North Cowichan Council assured Mr. A. E. Craig of the Chemainus Ratepayers’ Association that the new road foreman was “a square man” and would decide fairly whether council should spend $200 to oil all the roads in the townsite.
Paper asks strikers to return to work Dateline 1935: Union says terms not satisfactory Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial
A
few weeks ago, this column described the formation of a union local during a strike at Lake Cowichan. Digging deeper, I turned up a strike-related incident occurring one year earlier in July 1935 that can only be termed bizarre today. During a strike of Chemainus longshoremen supported by lumber workers, The Leader actually interfered by writing to the central strike committee demanding they move their butts and get the men back to work. The Leader wire said in part: “Of¿cials and public sorry for the plight of (strikers and families) but de¿nitely not in sympathy with strike. We request you...negotiate immediately to put Chemainus men back to work pending ¿nal settlement.” The reply from George Raggett, chairman of the strikers’ committee, was swift and underlined the company-against-worker mentality of the time. After explaining the workers had been locked out for repeating actions they had not been locked out for in the past, Raggett explained: “The conditions laid down by the (company) for return to work — that we must apply as individuals and that our union will not be recognized — cannot be taken as a basis for negotiations by any union or by any union man.”

Case launched in 2000 was originally rejected by the court from page 1
“The parties agreed, at government’s recommendation, to focus the issue on the period from 1992-1996, and if during that period the Medical Services Commission had the lawful authority to de-enrol individuals from MSP.” Despite the court-approved period in question, affecting thousands of physicians, Halvorson alleges Victoria may have been out of compliance as far back as 1988. The ministry declined further comment while the case is before the courts. Halvorson’s landmark case is being handled by the law ¿rm Grant Kovaks Norell. It’s delaying its fees pending the case’s outcome. “It is simply unfair,” McGill Medical School grad Halvorson said, “that the province has received money from the federal government PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until July 31, 2012.

to cover these individuals, then has refused to pay the physicians who treated them. We want to right that wrong with this lawsuit.” Provincial internal documents, he says, estimate that, at times, up to 363,000 eligible B.C. residents were not being insured by MSP due to unpaid premiums. Doctors nevertheless provided treatment to uninsured residents at considerable personal cost, he says. “As an ER doctor, if they have something wrong with them I’m ethically bound to treat them. “Funding was provided by the federal government to cover all B.C. residents,” he said. “The government gave funds to hospitals, but not to doctors if (patients) hadn’t paid their premiums. It struck me this was unprincipled, and just wrong.” The decision of Justice Adair marks a long class-certi¿cation

Trinczek Åies through downtown Duncan
ON STAGE
Sorry for using a cliche, but Imagine That! has gone to the birds. This month, the downtown Duncan arts co-op is hosting an exhibit of the painting of Eva Trinczek. And birds have always been her favourite subject. “They are a joy to observe,” she said. “I can never grow tired of watching them.”
According to a release from Imagine That!, you will find crows, quail, herons, hummingbirds and more done with acrylic paint on canvas or board and in a variety of sizes. Trinczek likes to use a wide colour palette and enjoys experimenting with new ideas. Meanwhile, the storefront is also featuring the work of Nixie Barton and Grant Leier.
Barton describes her work as having a wonky sense of composition, with colours and strong patterns, while Leier feels a need to create intense colour, pattern, and a sense of celebration into everything he paints. The display is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Imagine That! Artisans’ Designs is at 251 Craig St. Call 250-748-6776
Pride and Prejudice in Cowichan Station Shawnigan Players: Jane Austen classic staged outdoors on bucolic farm Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pctorial
J
ane Austen was a comic genius. That’s Shawnigan Players’ director Alex Gallacher’s take on the famed British author of Pride and Prejudice, being staged outdoors this week in Cowichan Station. The female-driven play at bucolic Gem O’ The Isle B&B hosts Gallacher’s 32-member cast, including two pivotal male roles: arrogant Mr. Darcy (Brandon Newall), and charming Mr. Wickham (Nick Millar) who are both after the hand of free-spirited Elizabeth Bennet (Corrina Cornforth). Gallacher likened Pride to a fairy tale with a mother (Maggie Sullivan), a father (Bill Davey), and ¿ve daughters all of marriage age. “It’s about obstacles that get in the way of marriage, and the essence of romance.” But straight-talking Elizabeth “¿nds humour in the absurd,” Gallacher said. Some absurdity surfaces during Pride’s three proposals to her. “The interest of the play is which of the men is worthy to win her hand,” he said. Pride arrives in social wealth and status of the era; prejudice is evoked against folks of lesser means and breeding, explained Newall. “Darcy’s an uppity jerk,” he said of his ¿rst serious role, played with a near “serial-killer vibe.” “It’s a good change of pace for myself.” ConÀicts come between Darcy and Wickham, a soldier who also fancies Elizabeth. “Wickham’s a liar, basically,” said Britishborn actor Millar, admittedly unfamiliar with Austen’s work. “The humour and clever use of the language makes it really quite a funny play,” he said. “There are still people like Wickham around; he’s a naughty boy, and this is a very female-driven play — like worker drones buzzing around the queen.” Gem O’ The Isle has been a beehive of activity during rehearsals, and readying stages and props. “We’ve built a stage in the orchard, and it’s

Wickham (Nick Millar), has romantic designs on the free-spirited Elizabeth (Corrina Cornforth) in the Shawnigan Players outdoor adaption of Pride and Prejudice. our ¿rst time working with a raked stage,” Gallacher said of the slightly inclined stage that spawned the terms upstage, and downstage. “It’s almost like an optical illusion, with a neat impression for the audience.” The Players also performed Romeo & Juliet, Zorba The Greek, Zoo Story, and Othello outside in recent years. Now Gallacher’s stoked about his period piece, with room for 100 folks daily. “It’s a bare stage, like Shakespeare with the backdrop of the ¿eld and mountains. It has the feel of a pageant.” Gem matches pre-industrial England of 1813 when Austen penned Pride and Prejudice. “Seeing it on the farm and in orchards, the audience isn’t aware of any machinery so you
can imagine you’re back in 1813.” Gem co-owner Ben Verduin respected Gallacher’s idea of staging Pride on his historic, 14-acre Gem. “Alex said it’s a good setting for a Jane Austen play,” the arts patron said of his 1896 spread co-owned by Patty John, and named after its original Irish owner, Mary Haywood. That setting twins period costumes by Sally Smith, and chorus choreography by Jim and Lyn Wisnia whose steps — including three ball scenes — are backed by violinist Eleanor Felton. It’s aimed at taking viewers back to Austen’s England where her books humourously toyed with salon conservatism and stiff family traditions. “Jane was a very keen observer of the

human condition, and human nature hasn’t changed much since she wrote Pride and Prejudice nearly 200 years ago,” said Gallacher. “The moral of story is for the audience to decide — I just hope it delivers the beautiful ending true comedy gives.” Your ticket What: Pride and Prejudice When: July 26 to 28, July 31, and Aug. 1 to 3 at 7:30 p.m., plus July 29 at 2 p.m. Gates open 7 p.m. Where: Gem O’ The Isle B&B, 2465 Koksilah Rd., Cowichan Station Tickets: $15 advance (250-701-7973), and $18 gate.

Life was a game. He was a fun and competitive man, always making a game out of life’s challenges and situations. The ďŹ nal quarter has just ended.

It was through the endless support of Robin MacDowell’s entire family including wife Kathy, sons Robert, Kenny, Sean and Mark, daughters Rhonda and Wendy, son-in-law Jamie and daughter-in-laws Kari, Carol and Tammy that she was looked after in her home until her passing.

She was an avid baker, knitter, reader, and bridge player and thoroughly enjoyed her many travels to Arizona and Japan. The family would like to thank Connie and Sharon at the Cowichan Community Cancer Clinic and her doctors for their kind and loving support to Joan throughout these years, and the nurses who ensured her comfort during her ďŹ nal days.

Esser makes the 25-member B.C. Athletics team for the Legion nationals
Got a sports story? e-mail sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471
ATHLETICS
Agnes Esser has been confirmed as a member of the B.C. Athletics youth track and field team going to the Legion national championships in Prince Edward Island. Esser of McBride, a Frances Kelsey Secondary School student, will be doing the shot put in the prestigious
competition at Charlottetown from Aug. 17 to 19. Esser is being coached by Sheldan Gmitroski of Victoria’s Pacific Athletics Club. Esser burst onto the track and field scene this year by winning the provincial senior girls’ discus and shot put
championships at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. The CVAC Jaguars will have five athletes in attendance at the meet: Tia Baker, Chicago Bains, Mary-Kate Cross, Colby Peleshaty and Austin Palou. All are sprinters expected to do well against tough competition.
Silver medal caps a great season for Peewee A2 Thunder rolls: Coach Jay Hammerer’s squad heads into the provincial lacrosse finals without any action in three weeks, but gets the bugs out quickly Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
C
owichan Valley’s Peewee A2 Thunder lacrosse team kind of slipped under the radar all season, but made plenty of noise when it was time to contest the provincial championship. Coach Jay Hammerer’s squad made a great run for the title at Richmond before falling short in the gold medal game. Still, if anyone told team members the season was going to end with a silver medal, they’d have gladly taken it.
“I was really happy with the results,’’ said Hammerer. The Thunder started the season 1-7 and went on to ¿nish 5-8-1 overall in league play that included games against two A1 teams. “I was happy how the team came on in the last half of the season,’’ said Hammerer. That carried over into the provincials where the Thunder hadn’t played in three weeks, but went on a four-game win streak before losing the ¿nal. The ¿rst two games brought identical 6-5 victories over New Westminster and Mission. The Thunder trailed 3-1 after the ¿rst period and tied
it 4-4 after two in both games before winning. Brody Black was the MVP against New Westminster and goalie Colin Jeffrey against Mission. The Thunder then defeated the host Richmond Roadrunners 6-3. Cowichan led 3-0 after the ¿rst period, but then Richmond came back to tie it before three unanswered goals settled the score. Logan Hammerer earned the MVP award in the Richmond game. “That was probably our poorest, the game where we came out the least on ¿re,’’ said Jay Hammerer. Cowichan ¿nished on top of its pool and ad-
vanced into the playoffs against Ridge Meadows, the second-place team on the other side of the draw. The team jerseys were similar in colour so the Thunder had to pull on some Richmond orange out¿ts for the game. It didn’t matter, as Cowichan had its best scoring output to win 11-6. Isaac Tonkin-Palmer was the MVP. Cowichan ran into a hot Penticton team in the ¿nal and lost 10-3, with MVP honours going to Dawson Webb. “If we would have played our best game, I’m not sure we would have won,’’ said Hammerer.

Little one MacLean Pierce has a great time sitting atop a horse in the leadline six and under class during the Cowichan District Riding Club’s All Pony Show at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds. Heather Cormie of Saanichton served as the judge.
ust making it to the provincials was a great experience for the Cowichan Peewee C Thunder lacrosse team. Cowichan had nine ¿rst-year players on the team that competed in the provincials at Richmond, winning one of three games. “If we had a full team, we would have won both games we lost,’’ noted coach Greg Mitchell. Eventual all-star selection Kahlil Fontana was on ¿re in the ¿rst game, scoring seven goals and adding an assist in an 8-7 win over the Burnaby Lakers. Keegan Smith added the other marker. Max Gammie, who later won the Warrior lacrosse fair play award, picked up two assists and Wyatt Chattell had one. The game was tied 3-3 after the ¿rst and Cowichan went ahead 5-4 after the second.
Game two ended in a 6-2 loss to Vancouver, with Cowichan goals coming from Fontana and Smith. Chattell chalked up an assist. Cowichan was only down 2-1 after the ¿rst and 3-2 after the second, with 11 runners against 18 and eventually just ran out of gas. Fontana’s four goals weren’t enough to keep the team alive in the tournament during a 7-5 defeat against the West Kootenays. Smith scored the other goal while assists were supplied by Chattell and Gammie. The teams were tied 1-1 after the ¿rst and the Thunder couldn’t hold onto its 5-4 lead after the second. West Kootenay picked up 48 penalty minutes compared to 16 for Cowichan in the chippy game. Cowichan picked up injuries in the game to three players. Other players attending were: Kaleb Erickson Kenner, Jordan Mattin Gosling, Brandon McDill, Hunter Wells, Kyle Wells, Hunter Winship and Mack Insley. Famous Äeld hockey players from the valley are everywhere, but always come back home to help out the younger players trying to reach their full potential. Such is the case with this UBC trio of Cowichan Secondary School grads Elise Milosevich, Katrina Waldron and Miranda Mann. They all were a big part of UBC’s national championship women’s team in the fall. Marissa Waldron, Caitlin Evans, Mann and Amber Thomas spearheaded a camp for U14 to U18 players July 3 to 6 at the Cowichan Sportsplex as well as a day camp for the younger U7 to U13 players the following week. Thomas had to return early to Louisville where she’ll be the co-captain of the Cardinals’ women’s team this season. This year’s camp was the third in a row to beneÄt young players. Don Bodger

he guest of honour at Cowichan Cricket Club’s anniversary match last Thursday was, well, honoured.
“It was a tremendous day for me, of course,’’ said the club’s honourary president Peter Clarke. “I would say the best day in my cricketing life, quite honestly.’’ Cowichan’s XL game with the Vagabonds at Shawnigan Lake also ended in an honourary draw. A tradi-
tional declaration game was played, with Cowichan ¿nishing at 256 for eight and Vagabonds at 220 for six. Cowichan’s team in the Victoria and District Cricket Association didn’t fare so well Sunday, losing by six wickets to Alcos. Cowichan went all out for just 70 in 23.1 overs.

There’s a reason why the Dragons didn’t advance to the Western Änals
Got a sports story? email sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471
SPORTS WATCH
Normally, a team that wins a provincial championship gets to advance to the Western Canadian playoffs. But not in the Duncan Dragons’ case. The U16 B girls’ fastpitch team actually had to declare its intentions of going to the Western Canadian tournament in Alberta during early August
before it won the B.C. championship Sunday at Evans Park in Duncan. “We had to declare by the end of May,’’ said Dragons’ head coach Kevin Olender. The early date also involved putting up a $500 bond. The team just decided with the districts, Canadian Open fastpitch championships in Surrey and the
provincials all lining up in succession that it would be enough for the girls. “They finished off a great year,’’ said Olender. “We’re very proud of the girls.’’ The runner-up Fleetwood Force of Surrey did declare its intentions of going to the Western Canadians.

here’s no replacement for the high level of experience the valley’s Lukas siblings received at the national judo championships in Toronto. Jonathan, Kristal and George Lukas went into the competition knowing it would be tough to win matches considering their age and weight divisions, but made it tough for opponents to advance past them. “Nationals was really fun,’’ said Jonathan, 16, a blue belt in U17 -46 kilogram. He lost matches to Ruslan Shykhly of Ontario, a brown belt, and Quebec athletes
Samuel Besson and Marc-Antoine Morin. “They have really strong guys and stuff,’’ said Jonathan. “That’s what beat me.’’ Kristal, 17, lost her two matches in U20 women’s -63 kg to Cynthia Fournier of Quebec and Adriana Lissett PortuondoIsasi. She didn’t expect much from her ¿rst year in U20. “The ¿rst one was kind of close, but then she held me down,’’ said Kristal. “I was beating her standup. I fought the ¿rst girl last year. We went all the way to golden score and I lost by a penalty.’’ Kristal, now a member of the Burnaby Judo Club and attending Burnaby South Secondary, just became a black belt in June. George fared quite well in U20 -66 kg,
going 2-2 with wins against Steven Bric of Ontario and Billy Hanlon of New Brunswick while losing to Ontario’s Andrew Zawalski and New Brunswick’s Stas Yaroslovski in a controversial decision. “I was pretty nervous going in,’’ said George of his ¿rst match. “My next ¿ght went pretty good. I won by ippon.’’ The Lukases are grateful to the residents of the valley who helped them with donations, fundraising barbecues and sponsorships. “Every single dime helped,’’ said Charles Lukas, the athletes’ father. A training camp and a day at Canada’s Wonderland followed the competition. “It was a good experience, especially the training camp,’’ said Jonathan.
obble Hill’s Maya Munzar made the top third in an elite ¿eld of junior women triathletes at Edmonton during the Junior Pan American Championships. Munzar, 17, clocked 1:06:21 to ¿nish 17th of 54 starters that included athletes from Canada, the United States, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Guatemala. “It was really solid competition,’’ said Munzar. “It was such a fantastic experience racing against the girls from the other countries.’’ She felt good about her performance, but “I know I could have done better,’’ said Munzar. “I was one of the youngest there, fourth youngest or something like that.’’ The race began with the swim at 8 a.m., but it warmed up quickly after that. “It was more or less making sure you’re hydrated beforehand,’’ said Munzar. She completed the 750-metre swim Don Bodger/¿le in 9:35, the 20 km bike in 33:07 and Maya Munzar exits the transithe ¿ve km run in 22:08. Munzar tion area during the Shawnigan spent a total of 1:29 in two transitions. Lake triathlon in May. “I came out of the water pretty well,’’ she said. “I was in the second chase pack out of the bike.’’ A crash on the bike route happened right in front of Munzar, but she managed to avoid it.The bike course featured a dif¿cult uphill stretch in the early stages but Munzar was prepared for it. “The technicality of the course was really good for me because that’s what we work on,’’ she said. The run course was changed at the last minute from being basically Àat to a route along the water’s edge. Next up for Munzar is the XTerra provincial championships in Whistler this weekend. Then it’s off to Kelowna for the Apple Triathlon where Munzar has always excelled over the years. The XTerra nationals have been moved to Canmore, Alberta after two years in Whistler. The nationals will be a chance for Munzar to qualify for a return trip to the worlds in Maui. “Training’s going really well,’’ said Munzar. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s a lot of fun.’’
