Genocide symposium student wake-up call
Shawnigan: 1,500 high school students get an up-close look at the Holocaust and what is still happening Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
T
he Holocaust stole Janos Benisz’s childhood. About a year in the Nazis’ Strasshauf concentration camp left the seven-year-old Hungarian Jewish lad skin and bone, covered in sores and lice — but alive in 1945. Six million Jewish folks — including most of Benisz’s family — died during six long years of fascist murder. “The Holocaust is in my body, like a bad toothache,” said Benisz, 75. “The pain of the Holocaust is unfixable. I am the Holocaust and the Holocaust is me.” Those atrocities, and many more continuing today, were graphically related to 1,500 high-school students during last week’s groundbreaking Holocaust and Genocide Symposium hosted by Shawnigan Lake School. Students from two dozen high schools from across the province joined the Shawnigan for the sobering two-day session. The event was basically an educational action-call to stop political and religious killings in countries spanning China (40 million victims, 1949 to 1987), Rwanda (800,000, 1984), the Congo (about six million, 1997 to present), and Syria (5,000 deaths monthly). Those death tolls stunned Grade 11 Brentwood College student Teagan West. “I didn’t know so many genocides had happened since the Second World War,” she said, ready to urge Canadian MPs to end global genocides. Benisz, Warsaw Ghetto survivor Lillian Boraks Nemetz, and Alex Buckman (whose parents died in Auschwitz) emotionally moved students and staff with stories of the Second World War horrors they witnessed. Photos and a
short film provided by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre showed the Nazis’ Final Solution, carried out in death camps. “I learned about (Holocaust) in school, but I didn’t really understand it very well,” said Grade 11 Brentwood College student Sydney Monette. She urged learning about all forms of genocide — and taking steps to prevent it. How that might be done was explained by symposium guest lecturer James Waller, professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at New Hampshire’s Keene State College. “How does a country survive when 97% of its children have seen murder first-hand?” he asked of lingering trauma in Rwanda. Waller pointed to instability in 20 countries that should serve as a genocide warning sign. A religious zealot, a crazed dictator, or a murderous government bent on killing and cleansing to achieve its warped goals might be all that is needed for these situations to explode. “We know all the red flags. The wood’s stacked; all we need is a spark,” Waller told his rapt audience in SLS’s packed Wilkinson Theatre. “The right to be is taken away.” But he also shared hope against the apathy and fear that breeds genocide. “Every one of us has a unique point of leverage.” Those points include using personal contacts, social media, votes, letters to editors, forming lobbying groups, protesting and more to demand justice from globally elected officials. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” Waller said, quoting the late Dr. Martin Luther King. That path can also be travelled with tiny steps. “How do you eat an elephant?” asked Waller. “One bite at a time.” Benisz summed those messages by leading students in yelling “Bullying and racism sucks!” SLS brass agree.

big blast from Ron Lindsay’s little black-powder cannon officially launched Saturday’s grand reopening of Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre’s pier pavilions. Centre volunteers were clearly proud of the $45,000 renovation that saw mouldy walls yanked and replaced
in the landmark pier’s three exhibit pods, now wearing new roofing. Look twice at those roofs, and one might see they’re not cedar shingles, but rubber tiles made from some 1,200 tires and applied by Golden Rule Roofing. Renovation funds came from B.C. Supercargo ($25,000) and other patrons for the maritime centre’s makeover, anchoring the former Chevon fuel dock as a world-class facility for sea
salts and land lubbers alike. Centre director Chris Banner and other members explained how the reno was sparked when Alister Frayling of TerraWest Designs noticed black mould and sagging ceilings in the exhibit pods, threatening visitors, and unique artifacts and photos tracing the bay’s marine history stretching back generations. The centre was shut in September for work that saw hazmat-suited crews remove rotting wood, and make space for more artifacts. “We’ve done some rearranging, and plan to swap artifacts
with other B.C. maritime museums,” Banner explained, delighted with the centre’s successful Say No To The Tarps roof fundraising drive tied to volunteer efforts. The pod re-roofing project was twinned with a roof copula and weather vane perched on the pier’s end pavilion containing model ships, and a maritime library for public use. A working bosun’s chair will be added to the centre’s many attractions in May. The centre will host the July 5 to 6 Small Wooden Boat Festival.

lthough elk poaching in the Cowichan Valley isn’t on the upswing, conservation officers still want the public to know the situation isn’t good. And they’d like the community’s help nabbing poachers. “It’s not good, but it’s also not unusual,” conservation officer Mark Kissinger said Wednesday, following a press release issued by the Ministry of Environment looking for assistance in their investigation into illegal hunting of Roosevelt elk. “Throughout February and March, seven elk were found dead in various areas of the valley,” said the release. “The elk were found on private land, mostly in areas where hunting is not permitted due to public safety concerns.” Kissinger said recent numbers are fairly consistent with previous years, but the intent of the release is simply making the public more aware of the situation.
“There’s always big numbers and there’s always concern,” he said. The elk noted in the release were from different herds, and all were female. Among them was a pregnant elk the News Leader Pictorial reported March 24 had been killed and beheaded in the Lake Cowichan area. “Given the time of year, some of the elk could have been carrying calves,” said the release. “The rash of elk killings is of concern to conservation officers who consider these acts a public-safety issue, and a risk to the long-term health of the elk population,” said the release. If the public has any information about these or any other poaching incidents, they are asked to call the Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1 877-9527277 or make a report online at: www.env.gov.bc.ca/cos/ rapp/form.htm The B.C. Wildlife Federation pays rewards up to $5,000 for information leading to the conviction of those violating laws related to the protection of fish, wildlife or the environment.

Crash victim identified as a Port Alberni man
SPOTLIGHT
The B.C. Coroner’s Service has identified the victim in Sunday’s tragic car crash at Bench Road as Port Alberni’s Zakkaree Tharren Mikey Coss. Coss was 22 years old. He was the front-seat passenger in a Toyota Sedan travelling northbound on the Trans-Canada-Highway before it struck a light standard at the intersection.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The northbound lanes of the TCH were closed for several hours, with traffic being diverted at Bench Road while the B.C. Coroner’s service and a collision reconstructionist attended the scene to investigate. Early indications show fatigue may have been a contributing factor, however the investigation
continues. “The male driver was taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries,” said North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart in a media release. “The woman had been a passenger in the rear seat, and was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The man in the front passenger seat was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Old Cobble Hill school endures like an Evergreen Saturday celebration: Community celebrates 100 years of education Carolyn Prellwitz

P
rior to 1914 children in the Cobble Hill village area attended Shawnigan Lake School (later re-named Mill Bay School) until that school became so overcrowded demand arose to build a school within the village. In 1913 tenders were put out and Mr. C. C. Smith was contracted by the B.C. Department of Education to build a oneroom schoolhouse beside the village. Official opening of the new school was in February 1914. A wood heater warmed the one room school and water was handpumped from a well on site. There was also one outhouse for boys, and one for girls. The much-needed road in front of the school was opened in the fall of 1916. This thoroughfare, named Watson Road, enabled the students to get to the school easily without going through the woods. In February 1928, teacher Audrey Shewell Morris reported to the Teachers’ Bureau of the B.C. Department of Education that there were 26 children of school-age in the district, 23 of whom were enrolled at Cobble Hill School, and that her annual salary was $900. She said the school building was “nicesized” but the school grounds “fairly smallish” and that this school board engaged a janitor for the school. She ended her report with the comment: “Nice type of children, chiefly of British parents. Nice district to teach in. Connected with Victoria by auto,
Evergreen School hosting a community celebration Evergreen Independent School has only called its current building home since 2004. But it has been a home to Cowichan students for a lot longer than that — 100 years to be precise. This year marks the Evergreen’s 30th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of its home, the former Cobble Hill schoolhouse. To celebrate these two milestones, Evergreen is inviting the community to a heritage tea on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “The event is an opportunity to honour the importance of this historic building,” parent and board vice-president Ich Diocee said in a press release. “Students, staff, teachers, and parents will serve tea and treats to our guests while sharing stories of our vibrant history.”

Worthington, and elementary teacher, Arthur Howard Plows. stage and train.” In April 1931 the Honorable Robert Henry Pooley, Attorney-General and acting premier for the province formally opened a new one-room addition to the school. As part of the festivities, Evergreen will host its first road hockey challenge on the same day. Register a team to face the Kerry Park Islanders on the site of the Cobble Hill Community Pavilion at the school. “Our vision of a covered, open-air pavilion will provide the community with a versatile gathering place,” said Evergreen parent Chris Koehn. “Whether it is used as a sports court, a market location, or a performance stage, the pavilion will be an invaluable community hub in the heart of Cobble Hill.” The concrete foundation has been laid and the road hockey challenge will raise funds to construct a fence around the pavilion. The day kicks off with tea and goodies followed by the hockey, with braised beef on a bun and other refreshments, and fun activities for the kid. Admission is free. Call 250-743-2433 for information on the heritage tea. To register a team in the road hockey challenge call 250743-9786 or email evergreen@evergreenbc.net.
The high school officially opened in September 1931 with one teacher, Miss Iola A. Worthington, and 16 students in Grades 9 and 10. Miss Worthington held an academic teaching certificate and was paid an annual salary of $1,400. About a year later, the building was enlarged again with the inclusion of Grades 11 and 12. The school remained a combination elementary-high school until 1950. A new laboratory was completed for the 1935-1936 school term —at a cost of $500 — in part of the boys’ area in the school basement. Painted white, it accommodated 16 students and contained ample shelving and special ventilation facilities. In 1946, Cobble Hill School became part of School District 65 (Cowichan). The last high school class at Cobble Hill ended June 1950 and the school was returned to being a full-time elementary school. A reunion of former Cobble Hill High School students and teachers was held August 2, 1986 at the Kerry Park Recreation Centre. It was attended by more

than 300. Later the building was used as a school for Grade 2 classes as an annex of Mill Bay Elementary and renamed Cobble Hill II. Three portables were eventually moved onto the site to increase classroom space. In the early 2000s it was closed with the opening of the new Cobble Hill Elementary on Learning Way road. In 2008 the school building and property was purchased by Evergreen Independent School and continues in operation today as such. In 2013 the Cowichan Valley Schools Heritage Society recognized Cobble Hill High School in its phase-one signage project of decommissioned schools in the Cowichan Valley. The school’s bell-shaped sign can be seen on the front of the now Evergreen Independent School under the eave over the front door.

Cowichan Valley businessman warning others after his online loan goes bad
Friday, April 11, 2014
Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
A
Cowichan Valley small business owner is warning others after losing $2,000 in an online loan application. Jeran Mattu, 35, who runs Lizard Painting, applied for a loan after a Google search led him to the website of “Centura Financial Services,” whose website indicates is based out of New York. ”I was needing a loan because I’m self-employed,’’ he said. “I went to go get a loan for tools and stuff.’’ The conventional bank loan was not an option for him so he went looking elsewhere. He Googled “loan companies’’ and Centura Financial Services was one of the options that came up. “They have a form and info to apply for loans,’’ said Mattu. “It looks legit. I applied for a $30,000 loan. Two days later I got approved.’’ Mattu said he was contacted by a personal representative. A seven-page contract was sent to him by email. ”Everything from top to bottom seemed legit,’’ he stressed. Mattu was asked to provide B.C. photo ID, a recent paystub and bank account information for direct deposit. He was requested to pay $2,000 to secure the loan. His money had gone to an investor in Toronto who supposedly represented Centura. Mattu’s money had already gone through when he called Centura to check on this fact. And that’s when he started to think something might be wrong. “They said there’s a red flag on your file,’’ said Mattu. “I felt nervous. They said since you’re a new client there’s a security deposit for loss of work to secure the loan. “At this point, I want a refund. I called back and the phone’s disconnected.’’ An initial News Leader Pictorial website check for the company he contacted, centurafnservices.com, resulted in a “Server Not Found’’ message. The site was back up and running when checked again April 1, then down again this week. Calls to the number provided by Mattu resulted in a busy signal. ”I got that same noise every time I called,’’ noted Mattu. “It’s a dead line noise. (Previously), there was an active answering machine every day.’’ There was no phone number listed on the website, only

fax numbers. Meanwhile, Scambook.com had a message about the operation. Mattu isn’t the only one with complaints. “Information about Centura Financial Services was first submitted to Scambook on Feb. 20/14,’’ read the message. “Since then, the page has accumulated five consumer complaints. On average, users reported $1,912.62 of damages.’’ “The only thing I can make positive out of this is to warn people in the community how dangerous it is and how many predators there are online,’’ said Mattu. Mattu filed a complaint with the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP about the incident and found it’s been reported as a fraud. He doesn’t expect he’ll get his money back. “The police just phoned me today and said they reached a dead end on tracking down the lenders,’’ noted Mattu last week. “It’s scary how easy it is to simply Google and have that form filled out,’’ he added. Now he’s out more money while already applying for a loan but hopes to make up for it in other ways. “Right now, I’m just keeping advertising and keeping my business going,’’ he said. “I’m hoping to save up extra and pay back what I’ve lost. I’ve lowered my rates to try and get more business.’’ Centura Financial Services should not be confused with another firm that will come up on a Google search, Montreal-based Centura Finance. And there are other firms with similar names.

MP defends E&N rail announcement Friday, April 11, 2014
Passenger rail: Skeptics plentiful after Via Rail says deal not signed John Harding
Parksville Qualicum Beach News
N
anaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney said Thursday he has learned through “high-level discussions” there is a tentative agreement between Southern Rail and Via Rail for the re-start of passenger rail service on Vancouver Island. While Via Rail officials say negotiations continue and there is no agreement of any kind to announce, Lunney said he was disappointed Via didn’t participate in the Island Corridor Foundation’s news conference Wednesday that proclaimed a “tentative agreement” had been reached between Via and Southern. “It is disappointing that Via didn’t stand with the ICF at this time,” said Lunney. “I have assurance from both ends that there is a tentative agreement. The agreement is there.” Lunney would not speculate on
when any official announcement would come, but he said “there’s no excuses for delaying any more.” A Via official reached in Montreal said the ICF asked for Via’s permission to use the rail company’s logo at the news conference Wednesday at Nanaimo’s train station. “That was out of the question,” said Jacques Gagnon, Via’s senior manager of media and community relations. “(We told the ICF) no, we’re not doing that.” “You announce when there is a signed deal,” said Gagnon. “We’re not going to play this out in the public domain. I don’t know when (there will be an announcement), and I won’t speculate.” Gagnon said discussions between Via and Southern continue, and “they (Southern) have to get back to us on some conditions.” The ICF is a federally-registered charity that owns the rail lines and corridor. Its board has representation from cities, regional districts and First Nations adjacent to the corridor. The ICF announced Wednesday it has secured $20 million in funding to improve the line to passenger-train-bearing safety standards, including $7.5 million from each of the provincial and federal governments, and $3.5 million from
the regional districts. Southern Rail of Vancouver Island (SVI) is contracted by the ICF to operated the railway. SVI provides rail freight services to customers along the railway. It also operated daily passenger service from Victoria to Courtenay by arrangements with Via Rail until that service was shut down due to unsafe rail conditions in the spring of 2011. ICF CEO Graham Bruce said Wednesday the $20 million would be enough to bring the rail to a safe point for passenger service, although no timelines or schedules were released. Meanwhile, Marc Lefebvre said Thursday he still intends to introduce a non-confidence-in-the-ICF motion to the Regional District of Nanaimo’s board of directors on Tuesday night. “It’s obvious from the (comments) Via made that the ICF press release wasn’t genuine,” said Lefebvre. “It further points out the lack of credibility the ICF has. I thought when you call a (news conference) you’d have something to say. Why would an executive director of a non-profit like the ICF call a (news conference) and state what they stated, when in fact it wasn’t genuine? In fact, it was disingenuous.”

ducation — a real education — is not about memorizing scientific formulas, or a series of facts in a textbook. It is about opening eyes to the world and engaging minds to find ways to make it a better place. This valley is a better place thanks to the education provided by last weekend’s Holocaust and Genocide Symposium hosted by Shawnigan Lake School. About 1,500 high school students came together to listen to speakers who lived through the Holocaust, or Congratulamade its study their life’s work. Instead of dull lectures about sometions to all thing that happened 70 years ago in who made a place half a world away, students heard directly from people who expethis happen rienced the Holocaust first-hand. They learned about how genocides happen, how they continue to happen, and how circumstances exist where they could easily happen again. And, according to the students we talked to, they walked away with a new understanding about how the world is a bigger and more dangerous place than they have imagined. Armed with that knowledge, there is every possibility someone may walk out of that room and — in some way big or small — change the world. Congratulations to Shawnigan Lake School for hosting the event, to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre for supporting it with their resources, to the survivors and experts for sharing their important stories, and to the students for listening. It’s great to see education in action. The next step is watching that education being put to good use.

Seeing both sides of: E&N rail deal announcement The case against
The case for
The Island Corridor Foundation has been fighting hard to restart passenger rail service on the island in the face of funding struggles and an increasing number of skeptics. This tentative deal with Via Rail is the type of thing it should be announcing. Via’s failure to support an announcement prior to all the “i”s are dotted is indicative of the type of stonewalling ICF has faced all along.

It’s time to take ownership of municipal elections Paul Fletcher

M
unicipal election fervor is once again gathering steam. Let the rhetoric begin. Top of the vocal list so far is once again the amalgamation of Duncan and North Cowichan. Not to say that political restructuring isn’t desperately needed in the Cowichan Valley, especially north of the Cowichan River, it is just tiresome to hear it become a topic of discussion prior to every election. As per usual, the amalgamation proponents are using the same-old examples of side-byside fire halls, duplicated services and too many bureaucrats as fodder for the amalgamation fire. Yet, while they talk about the need for public consultation, they are quick to talk up their own version of what amalgamation would like. In the background to all this activity is the
messaging from both councils and mayors, that they are already working together, and are on the right path to resolve service duplication and wasted money. While both municipalities continue to play on each other’s emotions with memorandums of understanding, and shared planning processes, in the council backrooms amongst the thicker-headed politicians, the tone remains unchanged. The truth is neither party really likes each other much and both want what the other has: North Cowichan wants an identity, while Duncan just wants to be bigger. Staff regularly ignores differences when they work together on issues that span their borders, but they are not innocents in this tenuous relationship. Their prime interests still lie within their own borders and, if push comes to shove, they will use whatever resources available to protect these interests. Perhaps the problem really lies in the politicians we elect. Maybe we should have fewer
Is it any wonder the Island Corridor Foundation has people questioning its credibility. Holding a press conference to announce a deal prior to that deal being sealed is indicative of the type of vague promises and assurances that ICF has been feeding people for years. As one of the partners in the ICF, the CVRD better be keeping a close watch on this situation.

politicians and pay them more to attract better-qualified candidates rather than electing unqualified applicants. Lack of a proper skill set, coupled with a need for the public stage, is perhaps the reason we see amalgamation pop up before every election, tax cuts proposed on the eve of the budgets being passed, or councillors who do not properly prepare when making important decisions. The behaviour and rhetoric is worse when coming from municipal politicians wanting to climb the political ladder. Their opinions often smack of elect-me lines, sound bites and slogans. Perhaps it is time for local governments to take the initiative to prepare political hopefuls. Workshops for newbies would be a good start. Invitations and introductions at council meetings would also be an excellent way to introduce candidates to the process. The local electorate also holds some responsibility. Experience shows me many voters
remain uninformed and vote by signage, familiarity, referral by others or by reading short political biographies in the local paper. My voting guidelines are very simple. Candidates must be informed about local issues, not just the ones they hold close to their heart. This includes reading local papers, attending important local meetings and soliciting the opinions of knowledgeable others. I also value highly those who have served the community as volunteers as it is an indication of community commitment. Let’s ignore the rhetoric for what it is and begin to work together to make the local elections ahead a rewarding experience for candidates and voters alike.

To our elected officials and hearing panel members: please put a stop to the dumping of contaminated soil in our watershed.

Ward system a must for amalgamation

Dear editor If amalgamation took place, then there would have to be a ward system, to make sure that there is representation from outside of the immediate Duncan area. The current North Cowichan council does not represent the interests of the entire municipality. That’s why they had to form the unelected Chemainus advisory board. Bob Johns, Chemainus

comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com
Dear editor J. McWilliam’s April 4 letter about bus drivers safety, while accurate, misses the target completely when it speaks to the issue of mental health and worker safety. To enter into a debate that pits worker safety against issues surrounding mental health is a mug’s game. There can be no winner. Both issues are important but not one more than the other. Mr. McWilliam is a worker and has a right to a safe and healthy work environment. He should never be put in the crossfire between the costs of maintaining adequate mental health care and his own wellbeing. I reckon he’ll choose his safety, as he should. The government has failed on ensuring bus drivers have a right to show up for work and not be abused physically or mentally. Bus driver assaults are on the rise and the government has done almost zero to change that. Whether the person doing the beating has a mental health issue or not is not the issue at hand; it’s that the driver is being beaten in the first place. Any person who has the inclination to beat a bus driver should not be allowed to ride the system, mental health status notwithstanding. Those workers have a right to show up for work and not take a beating; period, full stop. Mental health patients have a right to quality mental health care; period, full stop. There should be no debate as to which one is more important. Stu Shields Unifor Canada

OAP breaks new ground with seniors housing Dateline 1959: Berkey’s Corner property purchased Ann Andersen
News Leader Pictorial

ifteen years into the 21st century, we often read of people planning and achieving innovative housing options for seniors — unassisted, assisted and gentle care, to name a few. But 55 years ago housing dedicated to elders was rare, and many people simply didn’t understand the need. Accolades were tossed to Duncan branch of the Old Age Pensioners Organization, who in April 1959 announced it had bought a property next to Berkey’s Corner for a boarding house for “elderly” people of the district. This had been done in the name of the OAPO’s incorporated society, Elderly Citizens’ Homes Association which had raised $6,000 with almost $4,000 going to finalize the land purchase followed by a ceremonial mortgage burning. But what really brought people’s attention to the news was the OAPO’s strong fundraising methods and the community’s willingness to help. “...other branches in the province put on a tea…and donate the proceeds, maybe on $100 or so to the housing association existing in their district,” reported Duncan’s OAPO president H. Kenyon and Mrs. J. White. With no association, Duncan began from scratch, forming the ECHA in 1955. Since then, funds had been raised through bazaars, tag days, raffles and draws.

here is one thing you can count on every year from Cowichan Secondary School: success in the annual Skills Canada competition. Four Cow High students were off to Abbotsford Wednesday to compete in the Skills Canada provincials after winning their regional competitions March 28 at Victoria’s Camosun College. Cole Gilbert won in the senior Automotive Service category, while Colin Balme, Connor Wardrop and Oliver Bontkes combined to win the junior skills gravity vehicle race gold. They are the latest in a steady stream of CSS students to reach the provincials in this trades-focused, judged event. “We’re kind of like the Detroit of the island with the emphasis on trades and the support for trades,” teacher Ryan Gough said. Cowichan silver medalists in the regionals included: Spencer Macey (electronics) and Kyle Kononowicz (welding), while Scott Kennedy (automotive), Micah Cracknell (electronics) Ben Ecklin, Eric Beaudet and Evan Shumka (gravity vehicle race) won bronze.

ccording to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “the 8th century had derived the name, Easter, from that of the Anglo-Saxon fertility goddess Eostre,” whose name, in turn, might have come from “eastre,” meaning spring. This season of new beginnings bring out the cherry blossoms, whose beautiful pink-petaled trees line Duncan’s Canada Ave, and is the perfect spring path to take into our beautiful downtown in bloom!
Easter - Sunday, April 20th, 2014 Gearing up for Easter, the bakers in our downtown will be going into kneading overdrive with flour clouds and mouth-watering smells, permeating throughout their kitchens and drifting from their shop doors. The Westfalian Bakery on Kenneth Street will have their baskets filled with European home-baked goodness, to provide your holiday tables with delicious and aromatic traditional Hot Cross Buns and Heike’s Special Easter Bread. It’s an annual product she looks forward to using every Easter - an egg based white raisin recipe, that she’s used for years. The Station Street Café will also have their display cases overflowing with scratch made baked goods, including their much-loved cookies and muffins. Hot Cross Buns (gluten-free ones on Saturdays), Butter Buns and super cute
holiday Bunny Buns will be available to order from the Duncan Garage Café. Any family knows that Easter morning is the time for delighted cries of discovery from the little explorers in their back yards. Colourful woven baskets getting filled as fast as their small grasping fingers can move, and the building anticipation for chocolate smeared grins. But as we all know treats aren’t just for kids! For the matured taste buds, you’ll find amazing selections of hand crafted Belgium chocolates by Dutch Chocolatier Ernest Horvers at Rembrandt’s on Kenneth Street.

The Restaurants and Eateries in our downtown love the environment, with many using bio-degradable and energy efficient products, recycling everything they can, supporting local farmers and food providers, and reducing their restaurant waste with compost efforts. The food and local beverage varieties are nonetheless amazing, so be sure to raise a glass, or have a bite to eat at a restaurant with an environmental conscious! Wishing you a beautiful Spring, a Happy Easter and a glorious Earth Day, from the Duncan Business Improvement Area Society – the downtown that is anything but ordinary!

One year later, the world celebrates its first Earth Day as a day of awareness and reverence to protect the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land in which all things live and grow and thrive. Forty-four years later, downtown Duncan celebrates this annual, world-wide Earth Day event at Charles Hoey Park (beside the Train Station) on Saturday, April 26th.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
The Impala is roomy inside with Business Class legroom in the rear — and the theme continues with the use of quality materials throughout. Keith Morgan
Impala leaps impressively to the top The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is the best domestic sedan ever, really? That was the question front of mind when I heard such a boast from a General Motors executive recently. Well, he’s paid to say that, I thought, but then he backed up the assertion with something that surprised me more. The hypercritical Consumer Reports organization had just given the full-size sedan a 95-point score:
the point of almost buying the hype. Explanation of my continued reservations to follow. It wouldn’t take much imagination for designers to turn out a more handsome Impala than its predecessor. But this long-looking car manages to look sharp and streamlined but not so overly aggressive in stance, which is more often the contemporary style favoured by
No other domestic car had ever topped the sedans ratings in 20 years of rating cars by bothsegment and style. And, just to offer a bit more perspective to this remarkable score: the fourdoor was just behind the expensive Tesla Model S ultra-luxury hatchback with 99 points and the BMW 1 Series coupe at 97. After spending a week in an Impala, I have to admit it softened my cynicism to

many competitors. Its lines actually lean closer towards classy, rather than sporty. Let’s open the driver’s door. As its outward appearance suggests, it is roomy inside with Business Class legroom in the rear! And the business class theme continues with the use of quality materials throughout. Controls are logically placed and easy to operate with one exception. The standard infotainment system, which features an eight-inch touch screen, is not nearly as intuitive as I would like. I would need
to spend an hour with the manual to get it to perform for me. The reason I don’t do that ahead of time is because I want to test these systems against my iPad/iPod. Apple is the benchmark. Get over it, guys! Mimic Apple rather than try to reinvent the wheel and come up with a pale imitation. There’s a nifty security feature offered though that I must praise. The screen emerges from the dash, revealing a small storage bin that can be secured with a four-digit code. Let’s roll. The tester was equipped with a 3.6-litre
V6 DI with FlexFuel capability, including variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of

YOUR LOCAL SOURCE Confessions of a Curber Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I
gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.

Hot laps with a world champ at the wheel
By Alexandra Straub
Ojai, CA. - Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California. I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cult-like following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal. The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track. I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the

reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle. One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space (from 320L to 340L.) Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! continued next page

Biggest automotive disappointments ever By Rob Sass
from previous page Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been reimagined on both the inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. And anyone not familiar with it should be aware that, despite its 2.5L turbocharged engine, which produces the aforementioned 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, it is as gracious and powerful as a samurai soldier and his sword. Now, for those who are looking for similar excitement but not as many ponies, fear not, Subaru has their WRX to captivate you. Also completely redesigned on the inside and out, you have the magic of the Japanese brand’s 2.0L, turbocharged engine that produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and also the choice of a manual or a Sport Lineartronic transmission (a CVT with 8 virtual gears; similar to that found on the new Forester but tailored specifically to the WRX.) It too has the dynamism and pedigree to impress on the road and track. Performance, good times, outstanding engineering and hot colours equate to the new 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI. WRC driver not included. The 2015 WRX has a starting MSRP of $29,995 whereas the WRX STI has a starting MSRP of $37,995.
Some new cars sneak into the world under the radar with little baggage in the form of expectations (realistic or otherwise). Others are so heavily touted that even the best can sink under the weight of unrealistic pressures. Here are some that, in addition to being under the microscope when introduced, suffered from many glitches. SMALL CAR 1971-77 Chevrolet Vega: The Vega was supposed to be the small car that sent the new wave of Japanese imports back across the Pacific. Instead, it pushed a giant wave of buyers into Toyota and Datsun showrooms. The aluminum engine, which was prone to overheating and oil burning, and the hideously rust-prone bodies were often just the tip of the misery iceberg for Vega owners. Even the air in the tires seemed substandard. LUXURY CAR 1981 Cadillac DeVille V86-4: GM struggled to maintain a sense of traditional

luxury under the weight of the first Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. And while the idea of a V-8 engine that turned off cylinders when they weren’t needed had promise that would eventually be realized, the technology of the day wasn’t up to the task and the feeling of the cylinders shutting off and on was perceptible to the point of being nausea-inducing. Cadillac introduced at least 13 new computer chips for the cylinder deactivation control system before giving up. SPORTS CAR 1972-75 Jensen-Healey: The Jensen-Healey was designed to be the successor to the much-loved Austin-Healey 3000, with input from the legendary Donald Healey. Unfortunately, where the earlier car had a lovely and curvaceous style to it, the J-H was perceived as bland and derivative. Also problematic was the new and untested Lotus twin-cam engine. Broken timing belts, oil leaks and low oil pressure issues ensured that warranty claims added up quickly and the
Jensen-Healey was gone after just four model years. SUPERCAR 1989-93 Vector W8: Promoted heavily as America’s answer to supercars like the Lamborghini Diablo, the Vector was underfunded, underdeveloped and (some said) amateurishly styled. Tennis star Andre Agassi was an early and unhappy

customer when his car failed spectacularly on his first day of ownership, by some accounts setting his garden on fire. Accusations and legal threats flew both ways, and in the end, just 17 cars were built before the whole venture collapsed. The original price was $455,000.

ON STAGE Island Oak hosts talent show Island Oak High School students want to fight poverty and give you a fun afternoon out at the same time. On Saturday, the student committee presents a talent show called Talent for Charity, with half the proceeds go to One! International Poverty Relief to fund schools for children living in the slum areas of Mumbai, India. Grade 11 student Taya Wall has had a personal connection to Mumbai since her time volunteering there eight years ago. “It shocked me how different their society is from ours, and how privileged we are without knowing it,” she said in a media release, where she vows to do everything she could to help from back here in Canada. “I feel very strongly about everyone having a fair and equal chance,” she said. The Island Oak High School Choir headline the event, performing selections from Les Miserables and supported by Valley notables choir director Annette Lampson, pianist Ron Kilian, the Glenora Handbell Choir and singer-songwriters Aidan Thorne and Paul Ruszel. The rest of the afternoon will feature performances by Island Oak students and other talented folk. Principal Gary Ward is pleased at the student initiative. “Doing something for students elsewhere in the world helps our students to know this is not the only place on the planet,” he said. The event is scheduled at the Sylvan United Church at 3 p.m. Call 250-701-0400 or email: mail@islandoak.org for more information.

Art jumps into a dog’s life during Sylvia Shawnigan Lake School: canine comedy has teeth in reality as couple heals marital conflicts
Peter W. Rusland
News Leader Pictorial
I
f dogs could only talk. Well, the wayward mutt in Shawnigan Lake School’s comedy Sylvia does. That may be a good or a bad situation, depending on the dog and its owners. Take Sylvia’s young couple, struggling with a pack of marital problems in director Gregg Perry’s play leashed to A.R. Gurney’s script. “In lots of cases younger couples have dogs, “ said Sandi Trent, Cowichan SPCA’s manager. “It probably strengthens their relationship because they’re caring for another being, and doing it as a couple — or it could go bad. “My husband left after dog number seven arrived; he hadn’t signed on for the dog part of it all.” Trent’s bent on canines and couples was echoed by SLS drama teacher and director Gregg Perry. “Sylvia’s about a mid-life stock broker (Greg, depicted by Zach Woudstra) who brings home a stray dog (Sylvia, played by Cleodie Collison) from Central Park — to the consternation of his wife (Kate, played by Sydney Lloyd) — and the dog proceeds to chew a hole in their marriage.” But those holes let us hear all the lovely conversations people have with their pets, and we get to hear the other side from Sylvia’s mouth, Perry explained of his six-member cast. Trent said she was interested in seeing SLS’s Sylvia.
courtesy Gregg Perry
Actors, from left, Sydney Lloyd (as Kate), Zach Woudstra (as Greg), and Cleodie Collison (as Sylvia) are at the centre of Shawnigan Lake School’s new play Sylvia. That’s because Sylvia’s tale reflects some real-life facts and figures concerning married mutt owners. “It’s an interesting premise,” Trent said of a communicating canine living amid marital conflicts, such as those faced by real couples. “You grow as a couple, and probably see sides of your spouse you wouldn’t normally see,” she said, relating pooch ownership to “having a baby to save a marriage.” Statistically, Trent said, most Cowichan couples adopting dogs are younger and without children. “Of 96 adoptions since January, about 60 were young couples without kids.” Perry understood.
“Sylvia’s all about relationships; we all want to be loved and feel we belong. “Maybe that’s why there are lots of dog owners out there getting unequivocal love from adorable, and adoring, pets.” Such as Sylvia, who matures while settling in at home. “I change into three outfits:” said Collison, 16, “scruffy jeans, then teenpunk clothes, then a black cocktail dress.” Sylvia’s shift from orphaned pup to pampered pet complements conflicts confronted by Kate and Greg. “In a relationship, you have to adjust to the other person’s needs and wants
— and they have to do the same for you if you want to make it work.” Their dog is the catalyst. “Sylvia shows sharing and love to Kate, who’s a lot sterner than Greg.” Collison’s trick was playing a dog making viewers sit up and take notice. “I hope people use their imaginations, and get all the doggie things I have to do.” Your ticket What: Sylvia When: April 10 to 12, 7:30 p.m.; April 13, 2 p.m. Where: Wilkinson Studio Theatre, Shawnigan Lake School Tickets: $8, $5 seniors and students.

MANKELOW, Paul Clive April 21, 1960 - March 27, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Paul, who was surrounded by loving family and friends in the Tom Baker Cancer Ward in Calgary after a heroic fight against the side effects of cancer. Paul will be forever missed by his partner Elkin Cardona, mother and father, Peggy and Ed, sisters Janet (Brian), Susan (Robert), nieces and nephews, lifetime friend Lynne Williams and family and friends in Canada and England. Paul was born in Chemainus and graduated from Chemainus High School in 1978. He took a year's European tour and on his return went to trade school in Calgary to become a Librarian. He settled in Calgary working a number of years as a Librarian for Alberta Gas. While battling his two bouts of cancer, he went to trades school and became a Journeyman Electrician. Paul started at an early age collecting antiques and continued this throughout his life. His pride and joy was having his house declared a Calgary Heritage Home on the Heritage house tour by the Calgary Heritage Society. Special thanks to the community of Inglewood who supported him, Elkin and the family. The family's thanks go out to the 5th floor of the Tom Baker Cancer ward who fought so hard to cure him and to the 4th floor palliative care who walked with him on his final journey with him making all the decisions right until the end. There will be a celebration of Paul's life to be announced at a later date.

BENSON, Jon (Duck) Anthony Jon died early on the morning of April 7th after a long illness with cancer and strokes. He was admitted to hospital on March 14th where he stayed until the end of his life. He was well treated, kept comfortable and allowed to pass on. He is survived by Gaye, his wife of 40 years. They had no children, except for their two cats, Meezer and Missy. He will be missed. Jon was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on October 12, 1938, came west with his family to settle in the Tacoma area. He attended Shawnigan Boys School (Lakes House) and University of Alberta at Edmonton during which he attended the University of Washington Marine Labs at Friday Harbor where he learned to make a mean dish of clam chowder. He became a staff member of Red Deer College and taught biology, microbiology, zoology and marine biology. He loved having “seafood� races with the various live items he would import from the coast for the prairieites to explore and then cook them up for staff and students for the full experience. He married in 1974 and retired to his sailboat in 1976 to cruise the Gulf Islands and San Juans for many years. In 2000 they moved ashore and sold Loukia. I wish to thank the Shawnigan First Responders, the ambulance crew, ER and 3rd floor nursing station staff, Dr. Terlien, and Raistlin, his resident for their care of Jon. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Cowichan District Hospital Foundation with our thanks. Condolences may be offered online at www.sandsduncan.ca

The First XV men’s team suited up against Velox Saturday for a match with top seeding for provincials on the line. The local boys coming out victorious 26-11. “It was a great game on all fronts,” said coach Gord McGeachy. “The game started positively for us keeping Velox pinned in their own half with some great defensive pressure.” This was soon translated into points as Cowichan’s forwards took the ball over the line with Robbie MacDonnell touching it down to put his team ahead 5-0. “After some more sustained pressure, Owen Wood went over for our second score which he was also able to convert a very tough kick 12-0 after 25 minutes,” said McGeachy. First half Cowichan scoring was rounded off by Andrew Gudmundseth and again converted by Wood to make it 19-0. But some penalty trouble toward the end of the first half allowed

owichan players helped form a coast-tocoast Canadian connection for a rugby trip to Bermuda. Canada sent teams at the U13, U14 and U15 levels to the British territory in the North Atlantic Ocean for a great bonding experience between those from the B.C. coast and Newfoundlanders on the Atlantic coast. Tour organizer, general manager, coaching assistant and jack-of-all trades Rick Bourne said there was 39 players — including one girl — from across Canada who made the trip. “Any kid across Canada, the dad can write a cheque, let’s go,’’ he said of no specific criteria required for players to take part. Most kids in Ontario and the Prairie regions aren’t playing rugby until later in the year so it opened up the opportunities for B.C. and Atlantic players, like the valley’s John-Henry Morten, 15. He went on the trip with fellow Cowichan players Cameron Horsburg, Luke Downey and Haele Ferguson. A variety of games were played with seven, 10, 12 and 15-aside units. Morten’s U15s had some close games against Bermuda teams. “We lost a First XV game by one try and we lost the 10s game by one try,’’ he said. “It was really fun. The beaches were really nice.’’ They even played some rugby on the beach and Morten said the people of Bermuda were really good to them. Morten only has two years of rugby experience under his belt, but “I really enjoy playing it,’’ he said. And tours like this just help young players to “see what it’s like to play on a national side,’’ Bourne said, that might inspire them to keep striving for more opportunities to represent Canada in the future.

owichan Valley Wrestling Club’s Molly O’Donnell made history winning the firs women’s greco-style match ever staged at nationals. “It was pretty neat, and the official went over and shook her hand after the match,” said coach Nick Zuback of the Gulf Islands Secondary student. “She’s been training hard.” “Women’s wrestling is in its infancy, and the last 20 years it’s been around they’ve always kept it at freestyle, for safety reasons and what not,” Zuback explained. “But (the women’s greco) was quite wellreceived.”
O’Donnell, who finished fifth, wasn’t the only valley wrestler to come home from this weekend’s event in Guelph, Ont. with great finishes. “We did extremely well, and we had 10 kids that went,” said Zuback. “We had a number of them that placed.” Weigh-ins took place last Thursday and competition ran Friday through Sunday. Friday and Saturday saw wrestlers compete in the freestyle component, while Sunday was reserved for greco-style and cadet trials for the national team. Among Cowichan participants was Grade 9 Queen of Angels student Andrea Morris, who placed second during the provincials. She came out this weekend with a fifth place finish in the 46 kg-cadet category. Frances Kelsey’s Olive Kiruiro was geared up to compete in the 90kg event, but didn’t end up having anyone to wrestle, said Zuback. “She was happy and dissapointed
at the same time,” he said, noting the easy gold finish. Cowichan club’s Jeevan Sall just missed a podium finish, with a fourth in the 150 kg freestyle juvenile event. “It was his first year in that division and he’ll be back next year in that same division and he should be able to place in the top three,” said Zuback. “He wrestled really well.” The club’s other top 10 finishers in freestyle included O’Donnell, Jimmy Wyld, Kayden Dorma, Nolan Mitchell and Chelsea Warke. First timers Ryan Kuruvita and Aydan Claus didn’t win in their categories but had great experiences, added Zuback. “Some had tougher battles than I thought they would have had,” he said. “All in all it was a great experience and these kids have some extreme potential to continue.” In greco, Dorma took a second place finish, while Sall banked a third, Wyld a fourth, and Mitchell fifth.

The magic the team discovered continued in the Victoria tournament. Cowichan Valley lost its first game to Nanaimo 5-1, but then rode the shutout goaltending of McCaffery to an 8-0 romp over Kerry Park. A 6-2 win over the Victoria Ice Hawks behind the solid goaltending of Liam Pelletier and a 4-3 win over Nanaimo, with McCaffery named MVP of the final, provided the finishing touches. “It was really good, challenging at times, but they put it all together at the end and they worked really hard,’’ said Ganter. “It’s a B team. I’m really proud of the kids. They improved so much, it wasn’t even funny.’’

owichan Valley Atom B Capitals finished the hockey season in fine style by winning two titles. The Tier 3 squad won the regional playoff championship and topped things off with another first-place effort in a Victoria spring break tournament. Goalie Xander McCaffery led the way in a semifinal win over Nanaimo and then a total team effort produced a victory over Peninsula in the final. “The kids came together at the right time and played as a team,’’
The Cowichan Valley Atom Capitals had a lot to celebrate late in the season. said coach Mike Ganter. “Everyone contributed. I can’t really single out one player.’’ Cowichan Valley actually finished fourth in the league and had to win the playoffs the hard way with all games on the road.

To avoid CVS, blink frequently, take your eyes off the screen and give them a rest every 20 minutes or so and ensure your text size isn’t too small. And get up, stretch and walk around periodically. A recent government report comparing health statistics in 34 countries showed that Canada leads in the number of women dying of lung cancer. It’s 47 per 100,000 women. The reason seems to be that women were slower to adopt a non-smoking status due to the “light” and “slim” cigarette promotions of the 60s and 70s. Today, only about 14% of Canadian women smoke. It’s never too late to stop. Having said the above about women and smoking, women are more likely to reach the age of 100 than men. Currently, for every 100 females who reached the age of 100, there are only 21 male centenarians. In the developed countries, Japan has one of the highest number of centenarians.

Shawnigan Lake boys’ rugby team in the mix for six
Amazing record: When you’re on top it’s tough to stay there but hard work going into it increases the chances Don Bodger
News Leader Pictorial
I
f Kraft ever decides to run a contest to determine Canada’s Rugby-ville, Shawnigan Lake School will surely be one of the top candidates. The rugby program at the school is thriving, led by the remarkable First XV boys’ team that successfully completed its drive for five provincial AAA high school championships last year and is now in the mix for six. Staying on top is never easy, but Shawnigan has managed to so that, with many of the boys on the current team witnessing the start of it from the younger ranks and feeding off the momentum of the past to put their own stamp on a streak that’s remarkable in any sport. Some programs experience natural downtimes when the talent just isn’t there. That hasn’t happened at Shawnigan and the 2014 edition of the squad is another powerhouse. “We all have different talents,’’ said Michael Henderson, the captain of a strong leadership group and a returnee from last year. “With all the training we’re doing, it’s starting to really click.’’ “Every year is very different, a different group of kids,’’ said head coach Tim Murdy, who’s been at the helm for all five years and a couple of near-misses just before that. “The challenge is always the same. We want to strive for the very best we can do and we’ve got obviously quite a legacy to carry on here, but it’s hard to compare because every year is so different.
k.i.p.
Don Bodger
Shawnigan Lake School boys’ rugby coach Tim Murdy maps out practice strategy for his five-time high school AAA provincial championship squad. “There’s a lot of changeover, but it’s usually about half the squad comes back so they’ve got a good idea how we like to play the game and then the boys for the most part all play through a fairly well-structured system so they understand the way we like to play.’’ Shawnigan has its own unique style of play, he added, and the players learn the concepts as they move up the ranks. Murdy is a precise tactician who puts a great deal of emphasis on detail. His practices are run with complex manoeuvres and strategy in mind that can make the difference in a tight game with everything on the line. This season’s team is built on a set of values specific to the players. “It’s got its own strengths and merits versus
the last few years which are a little bit different,’’ said Murdy. “But it’s a strong side, for sure, and they’ve got some high goals for themselves so we don’t look too far ahead. It’s about our own preparation and one day at a time and take it one game at a time.’’ The players know they have a great squad, but that doesn’t guarantee anything. Teams like rival St. George’s are always waiting in the wings to take the title away. “It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, it’s our year this year,’’ said Henderson. “There’s always lots of pressure, but I think the boys, they want to take advantage of the situation that we were given and let the pressure fuel us, I guess,’’ said George Barton, fresh off a trip to Hong Kong with the B.C.

Sevens. “Five years is obviously a big run, but I think we can keep it going. I think the boys are strong enough. We’ll train hard for it.’’ “There’s a bunch of good key players coming back, a couple of big forwards that help us in the rucks,’’ said team member Tyler Beselt. “Our forward pack should be rivaling last year’s forward pack, for sure. Backs are still there — got a couple of key guys coming back, a couple of new guys as well.’’ “I just think that no matter for the Grade 12s or anyone younger, we’ve just got to stay composed,’’ said Wesley Wong. “Obviously, there’s a pressure on us to play well and represent your school but also that’s how we’re going to get better. That’s how we’re going to challenge ourselves against other teams, such as other good rivals around the province. “I feel that we have a decent team as in the past couple of years. We’ve just got to find the spark and we’ve just got to find the thing that will glue us together and go for the sixth time.’’ Tours are the carrot dangling on the end of the stick for Shawnigan players. The team went to Japan in 2012 and is heading back there again from April 24 to May 7. “Excited, nervous,’’ said Henderson about the upcoming trip. “I think we should do well. I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be really interesting, never been to Japan before.’’ Murdy added it’s an amazing tournament and the rugby is exceptional to keep the Shawnigan players competing at a high level. “We’re going to get them to watch a little bit of it on YouTube as we get a little closer to it because a lot of last year’s games are up there for them to see. It’s a really, really fast tempo game. The teams that participate are world-class so it’s a phenomenal event.’’ At Shawnigan, such experiences are part of the reward for dedication and commitment. And the end results speak volumes.
