Fight between a cop and suspect results after dope-deal tip Knives in possession: Ofﬁcers ﬁnd suspect’s weapons after man allegedly peddles pot on the Cowichan Valley Trail Peter W. Rusland

local bust during an alleged drug deal near Duncan reads like a scene from a John Wayne movie. But the Mountie got his man — allegedly carrying two knives — after a ¿ght Tuesday along the Cowichan Valley Trail near Cowichan Lake Road, explained Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. It started with a 6 p.m. tip from a citizen who saw dope peddling between three males. “They had seen what appeared to be a bag of marijuana,” said Stuart. A male of¿cer arrived, and found three males matching the reported description. “During their subsequent arrest, the three males Àed; one attempting to get onto a motorcycle,” Stuart explained.

The cop gave chase, knocking one guy off a motorcycle, but the suspect tried to climb back on. The of¿cer got him on the ground, but another person hit the Mountie from behind, knocked him off the suspect, then ran. The Mountie fought with the suspect, and they both ended in a nearby creek. The suspect got free and Àed on foot. The cop noticed the suspect was wearing a knife sheath, then found a large knife in the water. Other of¿cers arrived, chased the subject and arrested him near Ryall Road, where a second knife was found on him. Charges are recommended against a 32-year-old Lake Cowichan male who had an outstanding warrant from Lake Cowichan, Stuart said. He urged residents to report all suspicious activity to the RCMP at 250-7485522 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Fisher Road Holdings wins appeals case

Court rules: CVRD found to have breached its duties in not sharing reports after downzoning site Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

obble Hill recycling-and-composting company, Fisher Road Holdings, won its appeal-court case Tuesday against the Cowichan Valley Regional District. The B.C. Court of Appeal ruling overturns November’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that supported the region’s 2011 downzoning of FRH’s property to a legal non-conforming use under the CVRD’s

Light Industrial-C zone. But FRH’s lawyer, L. John Alexander, argued the CVRD board breached its duties of public notice and procedural fairness by not completely providing a CVRD environmental review and report about FRH’s site during a November 2010 public hearing. Tom Anderson, CVRD planning manager, said he questioned how much the board really relied on those reports that were not in a public hearing ¿le when residents’ concerns about the FRH site’s smell and

well-water contamination were heard. Anderson said he was disappointed the CVRD lost its case on what he called a technicality. “FRH and their lawyers had copies of the reports, and a copy was on our website.” Total taxpayer costs for CVRD lawyers were unavailable, though Alexander said the CVRD will be out some $21,000 in court-ordered bills. FRH’s zone now returns to Light-Industrial and Alexander expected a CVRD licence for the ¿rm soon.

There are hundreds of thousands of â€œappsâ€?, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes. The drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over 70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the bodyâ€™s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur. Many of the drugs we use today originated from nature. Itâ€™s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture,

omments

is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. Itâ€™s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. Antibiotics have save millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely. When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you.

Police seize marijuana from site of bush Äre Peter W. Rusland

Highland Åing is enjoyed by Michael Bryan of Victoria, left, and Julie Neufeld of Duncan during the 29th-annual Crofton Highland dance competition Saturday at the Crofton Ballpark.

olice have seized 128 marijuana plants at the scene of Tuesday’s bush ¿re off West Shawnigan Lake Road. RCMP Sgt. Rob Webb said the 3 p.m. blaze was battled by the Shawnigan Lake volunteer ¿re¿ghters who found the ¿re raging on Haybrook Road. “The blaze burned a treed area that was approximately 2,000 square feet,” he said. “If not for the quick actions of the Shawnigan Lake Volunteer Fire Department, the damage could have been much greater.” Two older, small outbuildings, that appeared to be of little value, were also

destroyed. “The nearby next-door neighbour received damage to his fence,” Webb said. “The (charred) property is heavily cluttered with natural and man-made combustibles, and likely played a big part in this ¿re starting near an old outhouse.” Mounties and ¿re of¿cials didn’t believe the ¿re was set deliberately. While on scene, the cops found and seized 128 marijuana plants in various stages of growth. The property owner wasn’t present. Investigation into the production of the marijuana found continues, Webb said. Anyone with tips about this cannabisgrowing operation, or any other illegal grow-op, is encouraged to contact the RCMP at 250-743-5514, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-665-8477.

ity council will soon hatch a new backyard-chicken bylaw allowing six birds, Councillor Sharon Jackson explained of roost rules that have riled some folks. Duncanite Dave Mayo cited a city survey indicating the majority of respondents rejected the idea of backyard chickens. “Why are councillors pushing this through when the majority of the survey said ‘No’? “Why is our elected body not listening to the people?” But council heard local worries about noise, smell and rodents if backyard birds were allowed, Jackson explained of two “well-attended” public meetings about home coops. “Four vocal people were in the negative, the rest were very positive about chickens. “Noise, smell, feed are all dealt with under the bylaw. We’ve directed staff to change the animal-control bylaw to allow chickens under very strong regulations, and that bylaw still has to come to council.”

Clean coops, sealed feed, and rules ordering hens be kept in rat-proof coops and cages will address concerns such as Mayo’s, she outlined. And Jackson explained the survey was non-binding, though council considered the Cowichan Food Charter and the city’s drive toward food-growing clout as farmers across the continent face drought and other threats to food supplies. “In the survey, 54% voted ‘No’ among 13% of people who get city water bills, and some were businesses,” she said. “We have just three days of fresh food on the island — we have to give people more opportunities to grow their own food.” There were just six coop complaints last year in Nanaimo “and those were to do with roosters,” she said. City rules will be enforced by staff. “Our bylaw of¿cer isn’t going to be lurking around people’s backyards. “Action will be based on complaints. If you are bad chicken parents, your neighbours will complain, but if you share the eggs and tell people what you’re doing, it’ll become like a neighbourhood project. “If done correctly, there won’t be a problem.”

Deterrent for climbers planned Silver Bridge: Fire chief and Highways look at barricades after same male collared Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

wo Silver Bridge climbs by the same man since Sunday — and by others in the past year — have spawned plans for Highways to install climb-busting barricades on the span, Duncan’s ¿re chief says. Mike McKinlay said his crews attended Tuesday evening’s failed scaling by a local 22-year-old male. The climber was taken into police custody at the bridge, then taken back to Cowichan District Hospital for mental assessment, said Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP. “He climbed a little ways, then climbed back down when ¿re crews and police arrived,” McKinlay said, noting the bridge was closed for about 15 minutes during the incident. It followed Sunday night’s climb when Mounties talked

the man off the bridge’s peak. No charges have been laid. “By climbing the bridge about two days in a row, perhaps there’s a (psychiatric) reason,” Stuart said. “There’ve been quite a few attempts, and promised attempts, in the past year, too.” The uninjured climber was eventually removed Sunday via ¿re ladder-truck, then taken to CDH for mental assessment. McKinlay signalled he wants bridge climbing stopped. He’s working with Highways — an agent for which attended Sunday’s climb — to install gear to keep climbers off the landmark metal bridge that’s seen other climbs. “Lots of people climb up and walk over the bridge. I guess it’s for something to do,” the ¿re chief said of the risky act over the Cowichan River. Stuart was also puzzled about the dangerous prank, welcoming access blocking. “I don’t know why (Highways) make it a nice, easy access up there.”

Chemainus library site still in doubt

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

nother chapter of debate has started about where to build Chemainus’ new library. Wednesday saw an openminded North Cowichan council respect recent public opinion against building in the Waterwheel parking lot. It ordered a staff report on costs of building the new facility on the old ¿re hall site, or on the hillbank at the parking lot’s eastern edge. “The Chemainus Advisory Committee is recommending we look at it again,” Councillor Al Siebring said of the controversial hunt for the right site. Fill up today with

“A delegation from the chamber of commerce and the BIA addressed the committee with its concerns last month. “The committee recommended council rescind the current location in the parking lot, and look at the ¿re hall, or an alternate location on the eastern edge of the parking lot overlooking Croft Street near the wooden archway,” he said, noting concern by some councillors about following correct processes to pinpoint the site. “We’ve reaf¿rmed the current location three times,” said Siebring, who prefers the Waterwheel-lot site, “and now a committee of council is asking us to overrule our own decision. “But I can understand how it happened, and the committee was tasked with

getting community input.” “Council wanted more information before making a decision on the committee’s recommendations,” said Mayor Jon Lefebure, who likes the old ¿re hall site. Staff is now studying issues such as costs to raze the old ¿re hall, and bills to build on the bank. “The bank would mean a two-storey building but the Vancouver Island Library Board only wants one storey,” Siebring said of the taxpayer body building the library. “We’d have to lose some trees but the view over the water would be spectacular.” Conversely, the old ¿re hall needs plumbing and electrical repairs, and contains asbestos to be yanked and safely disposed. It also houses the Neighborhood

House, Visitor Centre, and Festival of Murals that would likely have to relocate. “Neither of the options is simple,” Siebring said.

Motorbikes and cyclists need to be more aware Danger lurks: Far too many incidents this summer

otorcyclists and cyclists have to become more aware they’re the most vulnerable on Cowichan Valley roadways. There have been far too many accidents this summer in the valley involving both and it all comes down to a matter of safety. A few incidents have unnecessarily ended in tragic consequences. Motorcyclists driving around recklessly and cyclists not aware of what’s going on around them will not usually fare well in a collision with a motor vehicle. Precautions must be taken to avoid Whether right incidents. Motorcyclists weaving in and out of or wrong, it’s busy traf¿c on the Trans-Canada Highare just asking for trouble. Same a losing battle way goes for cyclists who are not wearing with cars helmets, not using hand signals and generally not paying close attention to what the automotive traf¿c is doing. The strip of highway through Duncan is ¿lled with disasters waiting to happen. Cyclists are all over the place cutting across several lanes of traf¿c, seemingly without concern. The motorist can only guess which way they’re going or what they’re actually going to do. This is not to exonerate motor vehicle drivers by any stretch of the imagination. They’re often not paying attention, either, ¿xing their hair, eating or — yes, still talking on their cellphones despite the law slapping $167 ¿nes. Motor vehicles and pedestrians on crosswalks are also a deadly combination and we’ve seen far too many incidents of collisions. The bottom line is it doesn’t matter who’s right or who’s wrong. Motorcyclists and cyclists need to take the lead initative for their own good because they’re the ones who are going to get the worst of it almost every time. No one is exempt from injury.

We say:

Seeing both sides of: the Olympic funding issue The case against

The case for Nothing generates national pride more than the Olympics. Medals won by athletes against the best in the world always encourage young people to take up sports and other physical activities rather than siting at home in front of their computers. There is a signiﬁcant cost to keep athletes training toward these goals and giving up everything else in their lives that must be met.

Emily Zurrer’s bronze medal from the 2012 London Olympics brought great pride to the Cowichan Valley.

B.C. liquor laws Änally proving effective Tom Fletcher Black Press

ere’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “Àyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 % compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 %. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one Àunked. But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three

We have far more important social issues that need to be addressed. Low-income housing, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs and all kinds of other things need funding rather than sports. Bumping up the funding in all these areas will do a great deal toward cleaning up our cities and the crime that often comes from the downtrodden.

BC VIEWS

times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in ¿nancial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona ¿de community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s allprivate model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing

to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 ¿ne for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justi¿cation remains for government liquor sales.

Dear editor It is wonderful to see the new pavement on Cowichan Bay Road.

Members of the Cancer is Stupid walk team hit the road last month.

Best feet forward: A dozen friends pound the pavement for 36 kilometres to help a local woman deal with cancer Caitlin McKay

News Leader Pictorial

eal friendship was demonstrated last month by a group of Cowichan women. On July 21, a team of 12 women walked a whopping 36 kilometres from Saywell Park in Lake Cowichan to the Duncan Fire Hall, all in the name of their friend, Cindy Kruk. The women walked to raise money for Kruk as she battles ovarian cancer. The event raised $8,000 and support keeps rolling in to help Kruk and her family through this dif¿cult time. “She can’t work anymore because she has to have chemo and she’s got another few months to go. We are not sure when she can work again,” said Jill Thomas, one of the walkers and

key organizers. “For me, I want her family to have some money to do something that they wouldn’t normally do. Her husband is now the sole supporter and she is about to become a grandma, I want them to take a holiday and I don’t want them to have to worry.” Since Kruk is an avid walker herself, the group thought a walk would be great way to show support. “Cindy lives in Lake Cowichan. The Duncan ¿re department offered their ¿re hall to have a fundraiser, so we thought, ‘Why not start at Lake Cowichan and walk to the ¿re hall,”’ said Thomas. “Cindy walked the last half a mile with us.” The walk culminated in the “Cindy Rellas Royal Ball” at the ¿re hall. A pair of pilot trucks supplied by SureSpan Structure accompanied the walkers, keeping them fed with

Thomas says Kruk’s strength inspired the team to keep walking and remain motivated. “We thought about Cindy the whole way, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be,” she said. “We thought if Cindy has cancer, we could walk 36 kilometres.” Thomas said she is amazed by Kruk’s ability to remain positive and this experience has shown her how important it is to live in the moment. “She’s fabulous, she’s amazing and she is the most positive person and she remains positive. She just says ‘Let’s do it and get it over with’ and that’s all you can do,” Thomas said. “We have all learned that life is very short and we should live in the moment.

School district exploring possibility of partnership with B.C. Transit Tamu Miles

Lake Cowichan Gazette

I Andrew Leong/Âżle

School District 79 is considering offering storage, maintenance and eventually operating services to B.C. Transitâ€™s Ă…eet of buses.

n its bid to offset some of its costs, School District 79 is looking at hopping on the bus. In one of the last meetings, the nowÂżred school board passed a motion to investigate a partnership with B.C. Transit that would see the storage and maintenance of approximately 25 B.C. Transit buses by the school district. Former trustee Duncan Brown, said the district has the capacity to set aside 25 % of its space and services to B.C. Transit, if this initia-

tive moves forward. Monroe Grobe, director of operations for District 79, said there has been one meeting so far between the district and B.C. Transit. â€œWe are still in the discussion stage,â€? he said. â€œBut we are striving for a partnership with B.C. Transit.â€? There are three parts to the proposal, including physical storage, maintenance, and operations. â€œOnly two pieces are being looked at right now,â€? said Grobe â€” the storage and maintenance aspects. â€œWe see this as a potential revenue generator,â€? he said, adding the district thinks it could

generate jobs as well. The districtâ€™s contract expires in April. â€œSo if we do go ahead, weâ€™ll be shooting for that,â€? says Grobe. First, a feasibility report must determine if the district can deliver what Transit would need. Because transit hours would run past regular school bus hours, the district would have to have mechanical staff, and others, on hand to service transit buses. Grobe adds there would also be potential labour issues that would have to be smoothed out with the unions. â€œBut this is not a major hurdle at this point,â€? he says.

ust when you think you know everything, kids remind you how much there is still to learn. This is the lesson Keith (Wildchild) Middleton is taking away with him after spending three days as a mentor at the Dwight International School’s two-week Global Leaders Academy at Shawnigan Lake. Middleton is one of the original members of STOMP, the energetic musical and dance performance made famous by its rhythmic beats using garbage cans and brooms. The academy’s founder, New York-based Kirk Spahn, invited Middleton to Shawnigan Lake to interact with the 60 participants ages 14 to 18. “When I called Keith he said, ‘If it’s for kids, I’m there.’ He took days off work to come. He’s been here three days and he wants to stay longer,” Spahn said. Global Leaders Academy is a summer leadership program for high school students from around the world who have a passion for leadership and service. Spahn, whose father is the Chancellor of Dwight International Schools, created the program in response to what he perceived was a lack of understanding in youth about how to provide community service. Spahn lives in New York and was struck how, after the tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, many youths wanted to help their communities but didn’t

That’s where we come in,” Spahn said. The program helps participants understand the process of raising money or awareness for a cause, and gives them tools to execute their idea when they return to their communities. Spahn asked Middleton to join them because he knew Middleton would connect with the kids. “We don’t like someone to come in, give a speech and leave. We look for speakers who will participate in the workshop.” Middleton taught the kids about collaboration and spontaneity by involving them in a mini performance of STOMP. Middleton asked the kids to choose one of the objects he found in the school’s kitchen. “A pot, a bucket, ketchup bottles with rice in them to make shakers, trays, trash liners, spoons and water bottles, tea cups and mugs, so many things. Within 20 minutes all the kids were playing in rhythm, making

music,” Spahn said. Savannah Swann is a Mill Bay resident who has attended the academy program every year since its inception two years ago. This year, she put her leadership skills to use as a junior facilitator. Swann said she feels lucky to have had the opportunity to participate. “It changed how I approached learning and put me into a leadership position in my school. I learned how to communicate better. I was part of the senior council, captain of volleyball team, and I stood in front of the school in the mornings giving announcements and encouraging young kids to take part in the dances and make it a closer community.” Swann was especially grateful for her exposure to participants from other countries, “Being surrounded by multiculturalism gives me a more open view of the world.” Middleton was also impressed by how the multicultural aspect of the program exposes the kids to what’s happening in the rest of the world, and he praised the kids for their courage in participating.

can override the school board, I for one refuse to serve on the board,” exclaimed Trustee Castle in August 1932. “I would like to ¿ght these fellows to the last ditch.” The teacher ¿rings came in the wake of achievement results that showed Duncan was low compared to other centres in the province. For the second consecutive year, all students taking the high school “entrance tests” had failed. The public school inspector said the Duncan school was the worst

in arithmetic of any he had examined. Said Castle: the board was simply acting on the inspector’s reports in decreeing the dismissals. Other casualties in the shake-up were two school principals. In spite of his teaching abilities, high school head A. E. Vogee was dismissed because he “did not possess the quali¿cations essential for the principal of a high school.” And the salary of elementary school principal J. N. O’Neill was reduced by 25 %.

IN MEMORIAM

COMING EVENTS

$2998

SUTFIN, Mildred Anne (nee Watkins) 23 January 1927 - 11 August 2012

Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep with her family at her side. Having spent the last few years in declining health with Parkinsonâ€™s disease, she is now at rest. Born and raised on a farm in Briscoe, BC, she moved to the coast for university, married, raised a family and moved to Duncan in the early 1960â€™s. Active as a campaigner and in the ofďŹ ce at most provincial elections in the 60â€™s and 70â€™s, she also volunteered with the Cowichan District Hospital Junior Auxiliary. She was best known as a sewing teacher for adult education and eventually sewing became a home business. She introduced a new style of sewing to the Cowichan Valley in the late 1960â€™s and pursued sewing with enthusiasm. She played bridge with a passion and was active for almost ďŹ ve decades playing contract bridge. Momâ€™s greatest love was most certainly gardening. She always had wonderful ďŹ‚ower gardens and missed them the most when she had to move into assisted living. She got a teaching diploma late in her working life and surprised us all by going to remote areas of BC to instruct grade twelve equivalency and upgrading. Most memorable was her time spent in Klemtu.

DEATHS

DEATHS JOHNSTONE, George Elliott, CD, LCdr. (Ret.) Aug. 6, 1935 â€“ Aug. 9, 2012 George was born in Halifax, N.S. with a boyhood passion for the sea in his heart. He attended Kingâ€™s College School in Windsor, N.S. and Dalhousie University before joining the ďŹ rst class of H.M.C.S. Venture. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1954 to 1975.

After leaving the Navy the family settled in Victoria and George had a second career with the B.C. Government. Family vacations were always taken in the familyâ€™s various sailboats, cruising the coasts of B.C. and Washington State. In 1987 he achieved his lifelong dream and set off in Tarquin V with Dot as his ďŹ rst mate on a world cruise which lasted eight years. They enjoyed exploring the various cultures they encountered and made many new friends. Upon returning to B.C. George and Dot retired to Maple Bay. At this time George was diagnosed with prostate cancer which he dealt with stoically for 16 Â˝ years. He always maintained a sense of optimism and humour. George will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Dorothy and by his children, Sandra Eichendorf (Ross), Andrew Johnstone (Denise Rogers), Heather Johnstone (Gerry Morello), Barbara Davidson (Ken); grandchildren, Ian Eichendorf (Colleen), Robin Eichendorf, Roslyn Davidson, Peter Davidson, Leone Morello; great grandson, Thomas George Eichendorf; and sister Joan Pilson (Michael). Sincere thanks to Dr. Lauren Jackson, Dr. Charles Ludgate, Dr. Jorg Michels, the Cowichan Valley home care burses and care teams, Cheryl Upright R.N., Sue Pollard, R.N., and the staff of 2 south at the Cowichan District Hospital. They all helped to make Georgeâ€™s journey as smooth as possible. A family gathering to celebrate the life of George will be held at a later date. Donations, if desired may be made in Georgeâ€™s memory to the Victoria Prostate Center or the B.C. Cancer Foundation, Vancouver Island Center. â€œHome is the sailor, home from the sea.â€?

Jaguars clear part of fundraising hurdle for nationals

Got a sports story? e-mail sports@cowichannewsleader.com phone 250-746-4471

ATHLETICS

Outstanding young athletes from the CVAC Jaguars are currently in Prince Edward Island at the Legion track and ﬁeld national competition. Before they left, four members of the group gathered at the Cowichan Sportsplex to receive a cheque from Duncan Legion’s Betty James.

The organization offered $200 in fundraising support while the Chemainus Legion kicked in with $500. A beer and burger night was held at the end of July at the Bay Pub to give the athletes a fundraising boost. It was a sell-out and helped the athletes cover some of their costs.

Duncan pitcher changes his delivery Jeremy Horgan: Submarine style difﬁcult for batters to hit during short-term relief stints for Notre Dame Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

eremy Horgan’s willingness to do whatever he’s asked is sure to arm him with the necessary tools to advance in baseball. Entering his fourth year at Notre Dame Preparatory High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Duncan pitcher is looking for big things from the team and himself this season. “This season we’re really hoping we can win state,’’ said Horgan, who turned 17 on July 26. “We’re keeping seven pitchers and seven position players. We just have a really strong class — all-around for athletes, not just baseball.’’ With a new coaching staff coming in last season under the direction of Brian Fischer, Horgan was asked to make a substantial change to his mechanics. After consulting with his pitching staff, Fischer felt adapting a submarine style of delivery might suit Horgan best.

“I don’t know why I said it,’’ said Fischer. “I said ‘Let’s just see what happens.’ He picked it up and we just kind of ran with it. “I think he bought into it because he knows he’s going to pitch all the time.’’ Horgan comes in for shortterm relief, often in consecutive games, and his role is usually to get a couple of batters out and then turn the ball over to someone else. “I kind of catch on fast to things I’m shown,’’ said Horgan. “We were scared to do it at ¿rst. It was kind of late in the game to make this drastic a change.’’ Horgan conceded the delivery does look odd and never fails to capture the attention of the other team. “Whenever I go to warm up, teams like to laugh and make fun of it,’’ he said. “We hear that everytime he goes out there,’’ said Fischer. “The big thing, too, is the players have accepted him.’’

Horgan doesn’t go for the big strikeout, but makes opposing hitters put the ball in play. “I’ve got my in¿eld behind me,’’ he said. “They’re kind of laughing. They’ve seen it work numerous times. It’s good to have for two outs.’’ Mother Rosemary Horgan, who has lived in Arizona during Jeremy’s years at the school, credits Fischer for bringing respectability to the Saints. “Our new coach has done wonders with the program,’’ she said. “It de¿nitely worked out for the best,’’ said Jeremy. He started baseball in Duncan at four years old and went to Notre Dame beginning in Grade 9 after attending camps in Arizona. He won an overall pitching award in one camp out of 65 kids. Right off the bat, so to speak, the other students at Notre Dame started calling Horgan “Canada’’, logical since he was the only Canadian in the school. Last season was particularly interesting for the baseball

team, Horgan said, when the media basically gave the team no chance of making it to the playoffs but ended up ¿nishing second. Losing 10 games in a row at one point had everyone on the Saints wondering. “All of a sudden, we had this really strong game against a school that’s a division ahead of us,’’ said Horgan. “After that, we went on a 10-game win streak.’’ Basically, baseball goes on all the time in Arizona, with the main season running from March to May. Horgan is frequently in the gym at 5:30 a.m. as part of a long day that includes classes and baseball into the early evening. A yoga program has even been added as an extra for the baseball players. The Saints play in AIA Div. 2 with a school of about 900 kids compared to others in the division that have a couple of thousand. The Saints could technically qualify for Div. 4, but have managed to compete at the

Don Bodger

Jeremy Horgan demonstrates his submarine style of pitching that looks weird, but he gets the job done. higher level. “We could move down a division and beat everybody 200,’’ said Horgan. “Playing up is de¿nitely a lot more fun.’’ A big thrill for him came during April when the Saints played their last home game of the spring season at Chase Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks. Horgan has already been looking into different institutions for next year after he’s completed high school.

Storm keeps up competitive pace Women’s lacrosse: Playday brings teams from Vancouver and Victoria to Duncan Maeve Maguire

Cowichan’s Marissa Jordan provides a screen on Lex Maddalani of Vancouver to make running room for teammate Kayla Liddle. Vancouver won 7-4.

owichan Valley Storm women’s ¿eld lacrosse team proved it can compete with the best Saturday at the Cowichan Sportsplex. Vancouver, Victoria and the Cowichan Valley played a round robin tournament. The Storm lost against Vancouver, but beat Victoria. Vancouver also beat Victoria. “Some of the Vancouver women played university in the United States,’’ said Storm captain Jackie Thibodeau. “They are such good athletes it’s nice to know we are competitive with them. We played aggressively and had more shots on goal than Vancouver.”

These tournaments, or playdays, are the start of what Thibodeau hopes will become bigger events for the league. “There are no standings for the league yet. It’s just our second year, but that is what we’re working towards.” The Storm will compete in the Summer Slam tournament Aug. 25 in Victoria where it will meet select teams from Vancouver and the U.S., among others. In October, Five Storm team members will travel to Hawaii to join a team with Vancouver and Victoria players. To help pay for these events, the team raises funds through pizza and chocolate sales, plus bottle drives. If you are interested in learning more about the Cowichan Valley Storm, contact Tammy Knowles at 250-710-2255.
