Past time to pop downtown’s old Red Balloon pimple? Who should pay? Merchants fed up as legal battle over building repair in ﬁfth year

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owntown merchants claim repairs to the old Red Balloon building are taking far too long, leaving the structure an eyesore that’s driving core business away. Some blame Duncan council for foot dragging — and failing to fasttrack legal and insurance glitches — on prodding renovations to the building at Craig and Station streets. “We’ve still got this wart downtown,” Cowichan Merchants Building manager Gord Heppell said of the Balloon building’s protracted fixes that basically began in 2009. “We’re trying to promote downtown. The bottom line is this (mess) has been going on for five years. We’re all tried of looking at this building, and need action but the city’s not talking about it.” Not true, explained Mayor Phil Kent. “We’ve been doing everything in our ability to move the process along,” he told the News Leader Pictorial. “It’s a legal issue, and in the hands of insurance adjustors, and we’ve been in continual contact with them to (gauge) progress.” Current talks — about responsibility for damage to the wooden building — involve city lawyers and the Municipal Insurance Association of B.C., and legal counsel and insurance agents representing building owner Susan Faulkner. Kent declined to discuss details of the complex quagmire. “I appreciate the frustration of merchants,” he said. “We’re as frustrated as anyone by the lack of progress.” So was Faulkner, who was equally as guarded of her opinions about the case.

Gord Heppell and downtown merchants want council action to speed renovations to the Station Street’s former Red Balloon building. Legal and insurance wrangling have stalled repairs for ﬁve years. “There’s no question it’s an eyesore. I have nothing but compassion for business people downtown,” said the former DBIA president, who sold her Red Balloon toy shop to Ian Fairwell in 2012. “It’s a nightmare for me. It’s past the point of rational,” said

Faulkner, hoping action by council could be spurred by this year’s fall election. Fairwell said he hoped to move Red Balloon — currently in space around the corner on Craig — back into Faulkner’s repaired building. “But I’ve been in a holding pat-

tern for two years. It’s a huge drag.” Ending that drag boils down to determining legal blame for three events that allegedly affected Faulkner’s building: a hit by a city snow plow during a 2009 blizzard; water damage to the structure’s wooden foundation; and alleged

Missing Victoria man may be in Duncan

UP FRONT

Have you seen Slaven Bakovljev? If so, call the police. Posters around town explain the 26-year-old Victoria man may be in the Duncan area. He was last seen driving a white 2009 Kia Rio, B.C. license number 564-KXN. Bakovljev is slim, stands ﬁve-feet 10, weighs about 140 pounds,

and has short, brown hair and a moustache. He may be carrying a backpack. Police say his family is quite concerned about Bakovljev’s whereabouts. If you spot someone who may be Bakovljev, call the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522, or 911.

Parents and kids coping with their early summer Teachers strike: Parents scramble to ﬁnd childcare as kids deal with exam issues and their newfound spare time

he impact of the teachers strike locally is as varied as the opinions about it. After taking a provincial study day on Monday, teachers were in a legal position to strike as of June 17. Local schools and school district facilities are behind pickets. Negotiations resumed June 18, after breaking down over the weekend. Cowichan high school student Tanner Eden Lush: Davy-Rekers time to ﬁll said he had some anxious moments before the Labour Relations Board ruled Grade 10 to 12 provincial exams would go ahead. “I needed the exam to pump my mark up,” the Grade 10 student said, just after he’d finished his exam. “I’m disappointed at both the teachers and the government for making it difficult to pass Grade 10. I think it’s stupid what the government has been Jake Russell: doing, they’re not mad trying to pull back programs, they should be spending that money on education.” To relieve the stress before the decision about provincial exams, Davy-

Parent Brandy Mandrusiak works as a child care worker in the childminding room at the Cowichan Aquatic Centre. Because her kids attend the private Sunrise Waldorf School, she hasn’t personally been impacted by the strike. But others have been scrambling for childcare options. “There are people who are desperate, they say they’re desperately in need of help on Facebook forums,” she said. Co-worker Haley Ketch said there aren’t as many moms dropping their kids off, because they have older children who can’t go to school and Kathy Santini they have to stay home with them.

North Cowichan urged to act on derelict vessels

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

he sinking of the Beaver into Cowichan Bay did not go unnoticed in Maple Bay and Chemainus. The two communities joined forces earlier this month to make a plea to North Cowichan to prevent similar sinkings — and other problems related to derelict boats — from hap-

pening off their shores. The Maple Bay Community Association and Chemainus Residents Association maintain the municipality has zoning authority that extends 1,000 feet from the shoreline. During a presentation by Justin Fryer of the MBCA, the community groups indicated they want council to use those powers to force vessels to adhere to community standards. Prohibiting derelicts, requiring sewage hook-ups for live-aboards and enforcing the noise bylaw are

just three areas they would like to see targeted. “Oak Bay, Bowen Island and Victoria are all places that have recently seen fit to clean up their marine neighbourhood in this way,” MBCA president Sheila Kitson said. According to Kitson, Maple Bay has seen permanent moorings increase from 10 to 50 in the past decade, the bulk of the increase occurring in the past two years. “There is now even greater concern for the protection of all waters along

Weighing anchor: Residents say existing zoning regulations can address many concerns

the local coastline,” she said. “As more coastal communities remove offending vessels through bylaw enforcement, greater pressure is put on local sheltered bays and coves within North Cowichan as vessels seek a new refuge.” While the Beaver — a large faux paddle-wheeler that sank this spring — is the most prominent recent example of what Kitson is talking about, it’s certainly not unique. A boat sank in Maple Bay this Christmas and a series of derelict barges

were the focus of attention off Chemainus for years before sinking. “Identifying the owner of a derelict or abandoned vessel is time consuming and not always possible,” Kitson writes. “The financial cost to the municipality of removing or dismantling derelict and abandoned vessels can be exorbitant, as was found with the barges that sank in Chemainus.” North Cowichan council directed staff to review the situation and file a report to council as soon as possible.

Tourists ﬁrst, commuters second in rail revival The plan: Southern Rail expects track work to begin this fall

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

owichan taxpayers are buying into a railroad’s recent promise to get passenger service back on track by first tapping tourism, then commuter, potential, regional and rail officials indicate. Last week, Frank Butzelaar, of line operator Southern Rail told Cowichan Valley Regional District directors his firm aims to use $20.9 million in regional, provincial and federal funding to repair tracks and bridges this fall toward passenger service resuming in May. He explained Via Rail CEO’s signature was expected soon to continue $1.4 million in annual subsidies and resurrection of intercity passenger service. Initially, it would link with tourism excursions, cruise-ship traffic and local business ideas.Then rail and regional brass will gauge commuter-rail needs, and create realistic schedules, explained Graham Bruce executive director for line owner, the lsland Corridor Foundation. “’We need to get the intercity system going,” he said. “That’s the foundation that lets the other pieces come into play. “There’s lots of room for commuter service. The commuter part

comes from regional governments that determine if they want to undertake a commuter system on the line.” Cowichan’s $488,000 stake is based on buy-in by all four other regional districts partnering with the ICF, CVRD Chairman Rob Hutchins told the News Leader Pictorial. “The funding is subject to participation by all five south- and centralisland regional districts (Cowichan, Capital, Nanaimo, Comox, AlberniClayoquot) in funding the project.” Local funds will twin provincial and federal grants for the initial $20.9-million rail upgrade. Bruce Fraser, Shawnigan Lake’s director, said he and the CVRD board were impressed by Southern’s pitch for support. Despite some public and political “grumbling” about cash sources for repair costs, the CVRD remains on board to fund resurrected passenger service, Fraser explained. Service ended in 2011. “The main point they made is ‘We will operate the passenger and freight service for 10 years — and if we aren’t making the money we think for passenger service, we (Southern) will eat (losses),” Fraser said. “Southern Rail is willing to give it a long-term try to perfect a service that will be profitable — and passengers and freight will make it fly. They’re talking about earning their way into it over a long period of time.”

The long haul will see passenger service running during the day, with an emphasis on tourism excurGraham Bruce: sions to and intercity ﬁrst from Victoria, not necessarily commuter services, Fraser signaled. Efficient island-commuter service would spell “numerous trains at different hours, and they would have to be faster.” “Southern’s not setting it up (initially) to be a beginning- and end-of-day commuter service. I believe that’s a very wise choice because train-car capacity for commuting would be limited, and quite expensive. “Rail excursions could connect with tourism on the island, and with cruise ships,” he noted. Passenger-service resumption would also usher more freight traffic, currently running slowly due to safety issues. Fraser and Bruce believed the other four regional districts and Via are all on board, despite The Regional District of Nanaimo’s recent vote of non-confidence. Fraser indicated tourism rail could include a car for cyclists and others targeting Cowichan’s web of trails, and other eco-based attractions that could see hostels and more created.

Facilities plan: District watching four schools closely for overcrowding

Cowichan Secondary graduates leap from the back of a U-Haul truck for their banquet on June 14 at the Island Savings Centre. If the Cowichan Valley School District gets its way, future grad classes will be learning in a brand-new building.

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

new elementary school in Lake Cowichan and the replacement of Cowichan Secondary School remain the top capital priorities for School District 79. But even in the wake of school closures, the district is keeping a close eye on the potential for overcrowding in certain schools. The SD79 Long-Range Facilities Plan was presented at Wednesday’s school board meeting. Despite concerns locally, the Cowichan Valley School District ranks behind only nine other B.C. districts in a provincial government ranking of the condition of facilities. That said, the district ranks only as “average” and narrowly missed the cutoff to be considered “poor.” The Cowichan longrange facilities plan contains a list of six recommendations. Declining enrollment and funding shortfalls for major repairs remain key issues that need to be addressed. Key to making that happen are the two new schools. “Due to the age and condition of the existing facilities, continuing to apply for these new schools would improve the condition of these facilities and educational opportunities for students,” the report reads. Also on the need-soon front are major mechanical upgrades to Chemainus Secondary, Ecole Mount Prevost Elementary, and Frances Kelsey Secondary, along with the replacement of the board office and operations department. The district is eyeballing the recently closed Duncan Elementary School site as a potential site for the new board office. The report recommends a review of all vacant district properties to determine how they can best be used to address future needs. Meanwhile, four schools — Bench, Drinkwater, Ecole Mount Prevost, and Ecole Cobble Hill — are approaching overcapacity levels. For the first two, that is partly due to a large number of out-of-catchment-area students.

Andrew Leong

“The potential for overcapacity can be mitigated by the district limiting the number of out-ofattendance-area students at the schools in the future and/or by adding modular

classrooms to the school site,” the report reads. The report also suggests monitoring kindergarten registrations and available space at Ecole Mount Prevost and Ecole Cobble

Hill. “French Immersion kindergarten class at each of these schools could potentially lead to an overcapacity situation at these schools over time.”

Government school building neglect appalling Our facilities: Province in average to poor shape

t was a minor point buried in one of the Cowichan Valley School District Long-term Facilities Plan’s many bar graphs. But it was jaw-dropping to anyone who has listened to the rhetoric surrounding the state of Cowichan Valley schools. In a ranking of all school facilities in the province, the Cowichan Valley School District’s modest collection of buildings ranked tenth. Out of about 60 school districts across the province, our mostly motley collection of frayed, graying and illequipped facilities ranks among the How could best. this have been very What does that tell you about the investment this province has made in allowed to education during the past decade? happen? The ranking is based on the cost of fixing maintenance deficiencies compared to the cost of replacing them. Using this index, anything between .3 and .6 is considered poor. A ratio of .15 to .3 is considered average, and zero to .15 is considered good. Cowichan scored a .28. The highest-ranked district in the province (Central Coast) scored .21. That’s right. Not a single school district in the province is considered in good shape. More damning, nearly 50 districts are ranked as poor, including two that scored higher than .6, or very poor. Cowichan’s ranking was swollen by the presence of five schools that earned the “good” ranking, predictably including the newer elementary schools and George Bonner, which recently underwent a major renovation. On the other hand, it has 15 facilities described as “poor,” including some that have been recently closed. How our government could have allowed this to become the norm across B.C. is appalling.

Truth be told the month of June is typically a mix for most students. For some it is a mad rush to pull up their socks in a handfull of courses in order to achieve the desired grade. For more, it is a gentle coast to the ﬁnish line. Those who needed their provincial exams are getting them. Those who didn’t are getting an early jump on summer out of school, instead of in it.

Some students were out riding in the Duncan skatepark Wednesday when they would normally be in class.

Is Enbridge setting up Harper for re-election? Patrick Hrushowy

News Leader Pictorial

as it occurred to anyone around here that Peter Nix and his merry band of Cowichan carbon busters may be in the process of helping Stephen Harper get re-elected as prime minister? I’m not talking just Peter, of course, because there are myriad “Inevitably, of mainstream environmental groups — many voter fatigue financed by American will set in.” business interests — that are giving Harper a large helping hand in creating a major wedge issue for the next federal election over the Northern Gateway heavy oil pipeline proposal. I don’t have any inside information, but

Hrushowy

maybe, just maybe, Harper is prepared to write off a number of Conservative seats in B.C. in order to gain support across the rest of the country. There is no doubt there is stiff opposition to the pipeline here in this province but in the rest of the West, especially Alberta and Saskatchewan, voters believe in developing and exporting their natural resources and will see Harper as a hero fighting for jobs and a healthy economy. Just about every opinion poll taken these days in Canada puts jobs and economic security right at the top of issues people are concerned about. And, close reading of the polls showing opposition to the pipeline also reveal a significant portion of the people who are opposed are open to changing their minds. The federal election is only about 16 months away and there is just about zero probability Enbridge will be even close to getting permits to begin construction on

Students get a fixed amount of instruction time per year. It’s bad enough that some choose to — or are even able to — coast through the final few weeks. It’s worse that they are being aided and abetted in that path by adults who are unable to come to an adult agreement. When will the tired phrase “it’s about the kids” finally be taken to heart?

COWICHAN LEADERS

the pipeline by then. That means the coming months will be a war of words and public demonstrations trying to scare elected officials into back-tracking on the conditional approval to proceed. The pipeline opponents are helping set up the wedge issue: Are you for jobs and economy? On one side will be Harper and the Conservatives, and on the other will be the Liberals, NDP and the Greens. Harper can win this one with under 40% of the popular vote when the other three parties are fighting over the remaining 60%. This is Politics 101, for gosh sakes! The closer we get to the election the more intense we will see organized resistance to the pipeline, and the exaggerated claims of potential disaster will take off into the ozone layer. Inevitably, voter fatigue will set in and people will start turning a deaf ear to the apoplectic predictions that mainstream

media will be bombarding the public with. Not to be forgotten in all of this: it is the older, small “c” conservative voter who actually gets out to vote. The younger crowd that occupies the twitter sphere has an abysmal record for not putting its vote where its mouth is. It’s so, so easy to join the trendy “I Hate Harper” crowd and Tweet and Facebook nasty and clever things about the Conservatives. It is yet another to get those in that same hip and fashionable demographic to actually take a half-hour out of their day in 16 months to go and vote.

Bad childhood is no justiﬁcation

Fifteen years is anything but temporary

Dear editor I’m sorry but there are so many people who grew up with a bad childhood. William Elliot is not the only person. It doesn’t matter what your heritage is, you still committed a crime, and should be punished for your actions. If he doesn’t know “right from wrong” there’s no guarantee he won’t do it again. He deserves to be put behind bars for the crime he committed, for the loved ones that cannot be replaced, and for his actions that have affected this community. I, for one, would not feel safe — not only for myself, but for my kids and other families in this community. You did the crime, you do the time. Claire J. Milbury

Dear editor Oh my gosh, this whole Elliott murder sentencing story is disturbing. It breaks my heart to think how these woman suffered. It’s horrible, may they rest in peace. Justice has been served sort of; it should have been life without parole. I hope he gets help while he is in there. Tragic. Heather Kerr

THE TERRY FOX RUN FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Dear editor The recent recycling changes are ridiculous. It was only a matter of time before the recycling companies were dictating because of profit margins and market values. If we had a true recycling program the companies involved should have absolutely no say and homeowners should be able to curbside anything that is recyclable, not what the companies and CVRD can make a profit on. It is well-known recycling companies are now corporate

and if there is no money or low market value they simply choose to no longer accept the product. MMBC has no option but to change its program because these companies will no longer accept plastic due to low market value. We have gone totally away from the true meaning of recycling and now its only applicable if someone can make a dollar on it Kim Wilson

Directors simply doing what is right under the OCP

Dear editor During the past year, the Blame Ayr gravel applicants have explained their plan to process aggregate at length and the community has responded at length. The CVRD directors who voted to deny the application for a temporary use permit for this long-term industrial activity on agricultural land understand the law: it is not permitted under the South Cowichan Official Community

Natural Outdoor Furniture CHECK OUT 3500 sq ft 25% OFF GIFT SHOP full of NEW INVENTORY!

Plan and corresponding land use bylaws. Temporary use permits are clearly stated to have a maximum term of three years and can be renewed “only once.” The directors realize that this project has a length of 15 years and the only clear option to process onsite beyond six years is rezoning to Industrial, which is specifically addressed in the OCP. I commend the decision of the directors who voted to uphold the law and respect their communities’ OCPs. This was a vote against an application based on the law, not a vote against the applicants.

Dear editor CVRD directors need to be commended for their diligence in upholding our official community plan and zoning bylaws in the face of a very aggressive campaign put forth by the Cobble Hill director and the proponents of this aggregate extraction plan on farmland. Processing aggregate is not a permitted land use on farmland. Using temporary permits to do an end run around our land use and OCP is unacceptable. This is a 15-year project and that is anything but temporary. The six directors who voted to follow the zoning bylaws and OCP are doing their job. We need to ask why the directors from Cobble Hill and Mill Bay do not feel they also need to follow their zoning bylaws and OCP. Dara Quast

1934: lights

1934: theft

by Ann Andersen

Friday, June 20, 2014

Several suits and Cowichan sweaters were taken from Mr. W. B. Powel’s clothing store on Craig Street after thieves gained access through a trap door in the roof, probably reached from the Vidal Building on Station Street.

1934: bootleggers

When the B.C. Electric Co. submitted ﬁgures for the installation of a street light in the business centre of Shawnigan, the Malahat Board of Trade declared the cost excessive and decided against it.

“I was unable to get relief from the government because I had an army pension of $11.25 a month, so I started making home brew and selling it in order that my family should not starve,” said a veteran accused of supplying liquor to an Indian (sic).

News Leader Pictorial

t stands to reason that life was for the most part tranquil in the Cowichan Valley 80 years ago, and the weekly Cowichan Leader reflected the serenity of the time. Big news for the third week in June, 1934, featured stories from Chemainus, South Cowichan, Maple Bay and Duncan. In Chemainus, some 250 people enjoyed Pimlott’s orchestra at the Chemainus Baseball Club’s dance in the recreation hall. Local residents were conspicuously absent, however, and what the Leader termed a social financial success was mainly due to support from elsewhere. Heading up the committee were William Allester, Jimmy Webster, Walter Murray and J. Dolly. In the south, Duncan’s C. R. Day won the Lower V form prize at Shawnigan Lake School, while P. A. Matthews, younger son of Capt. and Mrs. A. B. Matthews of Westholme secured the junior sports cup. At Maple Bay, James Aitken’s property was invaded by a thousand men of the Canadian Scottish Regiment who bivouacked there for tactical exercises. The public was invited to hear massed bands play the Retreat Saturday and Sunday evenings. And in Duncan, Miss Fyvie Young was appointed supervisor of Cowichan Health Centre, replacing the outgoing Bertha Jenkins.

Cowichan RCMP ready to rumble

hat’s that noise? An earthquake? RCMP cruisers will now sound louder Rumbler Sirens from their cruisers to boost safety during emergencies, valley Sgt. Chris Swain’s release says. “North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP have started adding the Rumbler Siren to its fleet to enhance safety during emergency calls,” Swain states. “The Rumbler enhances and adds to the effect of a regular siren. It acts similar to a sub-woofer, utilizing lowfrequency tones that penetrate hard surfaces better than the higher pitch of the regular siren.” Drivers and pedestrians will be able to both hear and feel the police vehicle coming, he added. Costs for Rumblers were not stated. Due to better sound insulation in newer vehicles, the use of vehicle-stereo systems, and pedestrians/bicyclists wearing headphones, this technology will assist

Capsule Comments Playing mind games takes on

e’ve all heard the phrase “five-second rule” when food drops on the floor. This is indeed a myth and many studies have proven its fallacy. We often forget that our shoes track in many bacteria many of which are fecal in origin. Here’s a better rule: Drop it? Toss it.

Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a cooler room. It seems that keeping your night-time bedroom temperature between 15.5 and 19°C (60-66°F) is ideal. It helps cool down your body’s core temperature which helps you to sleep better. If you always seem to be warm, try a cool shower before bed. One type of exercise that has become popular in recent years is interval training. This combines short bursts of intense activity (intervals) with lower intensity periods of activity. The activity can be swimming, running or even walking. If you use walking as your exercise of choice, warm up first then walk really briskly for 30 seconds then slow down and let your heart rate normalize then repeat. Check with your doctor first if you plan any new exercise activity. This is allergy season and the pollen drifting through the air can make life uncomfortable for many. Flushing the nasal passages with a saline solution will help clear pollen so it won’t bother you. You can make your own solution (one-quarter teaspoon each of salt and baking soda in 8 oz of water) or buy some ready made at the pharmacy.

Need advice about allergies? We have the answers. Drop in soon.

Alzheimer fundraiser: Registration now open for second-annual fun charity event Don Bodger

News Leader Pictorial

“Keep on playing those mind games together.’’

hat line from John Lennon’s famous song, Mind Games, figures prominently into the title of the second-annual Georgina Falt Memorial Mind Games Music Trivia fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. taking place Sept. 20. Registration for the game that raised $2,588 in its inaugural year for the society is now open to interested members of the public. The event

was recognized with a Community Service Award at the recent B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association conference at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond. Researchers have determined exercising the mind is a good way to help combat Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. And funds for important services and programs are needed now more than ever. “This fundraiser will help us support the 70,000 British Columbians and their families who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,’’ noted Natasha Collett, events assistant for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Nearly 10,000 of these people are Baby Boomers under the age of 65. With an aging population, the reality is that the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias is growing. New statistics indicate that if nothing changes, the number of people livAlternatives ing withReel dementia in B.C. Showing on the will more than double BIG SCREEN

over the next generation. “The cumulative health-care cost is projected to reach more than $130.2 billion.’’ This music trivia game requires people to use plenty of beneficial brainpower to identify song titles, artists and round themes. The organizing team includes the family affair of the News Leader Pictorial’s Don Bodger, wife Theresa and brothers Dave and Doug. The event is being held at the Duncan Community Lodge on Moose Road, with all proceeds from the $25 per person cost going to the Alzheimer Society. Numerous prizes worth more than the admission will be given out. Participants also receive a tax receipt and a chance at music trivia bragging rights in the battle for the Georgina Falt Memorial trophy. Teams can consist of six to eight players and space is limited. Anyone interested in finding out more should send an email to Don Bodger at sports@cowichannewsleader.com.

The Cowichan River and the man who knows her best

ON STAGE You’re never too old to get loud The Cowichan River and one of its most dedicated caretakers takes centre stage on the small screen this weekend. CHEK TV’s Vancouver Island Chronicles documentary series focuses this week on The Cowichan River Story. A media release says the show will see ﬁlmmaker

Edward Homer look at the history of this iconic Vancouver Island River and the challenges of sustaining its ﬁshery. “The central ﬁgure in the story is Joe Saysell (left). Joe grew up on the banks of the Cowichan and with his dad’s support became one of the top guides on the river. Realizing much of the river could be lost to

development, Joe was instrumental in getting land in the upper river set aside as park,” the release reads Vancouver Island Chronicles is a documentary series that proﬁles people on Vancouver Island working to make a positive difference in their communities. It broadcasts Sundays at 4 p.m.

ock music has remained a touchstone for two Headpins’ members during their long and winding careers. Singer Darby Mills, drummer Bernie Aubin and the Headpins haul their brand of classic rock to the Cowichan Theatre Wednesday during the Canadian band’s annual tour with legendary Scottish rockers, Nazareth. Mills has been the ‘Pins’ front woman for nearly three decades, while Nazareth’s beloved singer, Dan McCafferty, was replaced by Linton Osborne after illness struck McCafferty last year. Faithful to her old friend McCafferty, Mills said she was reluctant to accept Osborne as Nazareth’s talented new crooner — until seeing him on YouTube promoting the Headpins on a Russian stage. “The new singer was wearing a Headpins T-shirt. He’ll never be Dan; the original singer’s the original singer.” Mills knows. She joined the Headpins in around 1981, after the band was first fronted by singer Denise McCann, Aubin noted. “We’re all hard rockers, so it’s all good; this show is a good package.” Headpins’ personnel includes

Canadian classic rock band the Headpins continue to play about 25 shows a year, including next week’s gig at the Cowichan Theatre.

Classic rock double shot: Nazareth and The Headpins continue carrying the torch for the hard rock era that made them famous bassist Ab Bryant — who, with the late Brian (Too Loud) MacLeod, assembled the band in the late ‘70s — lead axman Tony Dellacroce, and rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Alfie Galpin. Aubin and Mills admitted classic rock is ailing, but will never die. “Rock ‘n’ roll isn’t dead, I just never hear it on the radio much any-

more,” said Mills, thankful for a rock refresher “when we’re on tour and cross paths with the old guys.” “With all the casinos (hiring bands),” said Aubin, “that demographic is keeping everyone alive; classic rock is still alive and well. “We do about 25 shows a year,” the 61-year-old stickman said of the Pins’ show roster of about 13 tunes.

Cowichanians may hear Headpins’ hits Turn It Loud, Don’t It Make You Feel, Celebration, Just One More Time, or Line Of Fire. “We go for quality over quantity; we’ve done the same set for years.” Familiarity helps bind band members living separate lives off the road. “We only see each other when we

play,” Aubin said from Maple Ridge where he runs his Classic Canadian Rock firm. “That’s what keeps us fresh.” Vernon-based Mills, 55, helps market a skin-care product, and has retired from teaching tae kwon do. Headpins’ touring twins a few other musical projects for the mother of two, and former figure skater, who’s seen it all on the road, and on stage, since her Spandex and super-big hair days. Mills’ mantra now is to live in the moment, think positively and seek happiness. “I’m really thankful, after all these years, to perform and have people still come out to our shows; (performing is) in my blood and every fibre of my body.” There’s also that age-old stage buzz. “You get an adrenaline rush. People pay money, you’re expected to do a good job, and our outfit wants to do a good job,” she said. “I just want to keep going, and I want people to come back.” So does Aubin. “I still feel like a kid — rock ‘n’ roll keeps you young.” Your ticket What: Nazareth, and The Headpins When: June 25, 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowichan Theatre Tickets: $40.

Graduating Bomans offering ﬁnal violin treat Cowichan bowman: With a best in B.C. title under his belt, Cowichan musician plays for his education.

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

t seems like only yesterday Nate Bomans was adorning the front page of the News Leader Pictorial. The local string virtuoso was just 13, and played cover boy as he tuned his violin in preparation for Cowichan’s turn as host of the B.C. Music Festival, a showcase of the finest young performing arts talents in the province. Well that was then and this is now. Bomans is 17, graduating from Shawnigan Lake School and a veteran of multiple B.C. Music Festivals, including this year’s hosted by Penticton. One thing remained constant since

2010: Bomans is one of the finest young violinists, not only in the valley, but in the entire province. He has now represented Cowichan at the provincials six times. But even that is about to change; our emerging musical ambassador is about to spread his wings for fresh horizons. Instead of Shawnigan Lake, this fall he will call Indiana home. “He was accepted to a number of schools but has decided to attend the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University to pursue a Bachelor of Music in violin performance,” mom Diane said. For Nate it will be a big step, but one he is happy to make. “I am a little bit nervous as it will be a big change going into university, however, I am also very excited to

start this next part of my life,” he said. He arrives with a couple of fresh notches on the neck of his instrument. He won the Senior Canadian Strings class in Penticton during the B.C.’s and received a prestigious Premier Young Artist Awards, one of the top entrance music scholarships awarded at Indiana. In Indiana, he will be studying with Joseph Swensen. “The Jacobs School of Music is consistently ranked as one of the top music programs in the U.S.,” Diane said. “Currently their violin faculty are one of the strongest around and he actually studied with one of them during a summer program for two years, So, the prestige of the music school, as well as particular faculty, were what drew Nate to Indiana.” After he finishes this program he will likely pursue a master’s degree

ngela Etherington put in the time to get the desired time in the Vancouver Marathon. The Duncan personal trainer was in top form for the event, placing fourth overall in the women’s 35- to 39-year-old age division. “I trained a lot for this one,’’ she said. “This one, I took 20 minutes off my New York time.’’ Etherington came in around the three hour and 30 minute mark when she went to New York 2 1/2 years ago. At Vancouver, she was much faster in 3:10. Despite that, “your legs are always kind of tired,’’ she said. “I would say the last 30 kilometres I was surprised how fast I was going. I haven’t trained as hard for something since before I had kids. “I was really excited with the results.’’ The third-place finisher was just two minutes ahead of Etherington. It was a thrill for her to receive a finishing medal at the end of the race from running legend John Stanton. At 37, she’s feeling better than ever about her conditioning. “It’s a neat time for me now,’’ Etherington said. “They say triathlon and runners peak around this age.’’ She had a great lead-up to the race, finishing as the fourth female overall in the Comox Half Marathon. Family means everything to her in the quest for excellence. “You have to have the support of your husband,’’ Etherington said. And her seven- and nine-year-old kids are also big cheerleaders for mom. Etherington runs Progressive Fitness with a studio on her property.

CCAA pioneer: Achievements at Selkirk College and the national stage earn Stelck a trip to the Hall of Fame

John McKinley

News Leader Pictorial

Duncan man has been honoured nationally for years of work in the Kootenays. Mal Stelck’s efforts in advancing the athletics program at Castlegar’s Selkirk College have earned him a place in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Hall of Fame. The ceremony happened earlier this month in Banff. The CCAA detailed Stelck’s qualifications in a media release: “(He) arrived at Selkirk College in Castlegar, B.C. in 1971 with a mandate to build its physical education and athletic programs, and coach the men’s hockey team. He would hold the post for a little over a year before he attended a 1972 meeting that would form the CCAA. “Attending as a provincial representative for B.C.’s Totem Athletic Conference (now PACWEST), he would later serve as president of the provincial organization (197578), as well as president of the

Mal Stelck began with Castlegar’s Selkirk College in 1971. 4-West (1978-79), a precursor to the CCAA which included B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Stelck served 13 years with the CCAA, including three terms as president. He called his CCAA career a great privilege. “I got to work with some of the nicest people that one could hope to meet.” “Watching the CCAA national championships and attending the special events that surrounded them was very rewarding.” The release lauded Stelck’s commitment to Selkirk. “He was instrumental in

getting its sports and athletic facilities built, became director of student services and college relations, principal of the Castlegar campus, and then vice-president of education,” it reads. The Mal Stelck Leadership Award is handed out to Selkirk students every year in honour of his remarkable achievements, and the Mal Stelck Award In Honour of Fair Play is awarded at each CCAA Men’s Volleyball National Championship.” “Making a contribution, however small, to the evolution of the CCAA has been an honour and a privilege,” said Stelck. According to neice Michelle Lund, Stelck has worked as an auxillary officer with the RCMP in Duncan and played a role in bringing a drug awareness campaign into local schools. He also volunteered with the local cancer agency driving patients to and from Victoria for cancer treatments. He and wife Maureen have lived on their acreage in Duncan for more than 10 years. — with files from the Castlegar News

Cowichan’s Pre-atom football team appears poised for big things. Two straight wins over the Nanaimo Bombers has set the team up for a guaranteed birth in the Silver Cup Final, June 21. “The pre-atom bulldogs proved they are a force to contend with as they took down the Nanaimo Bombers for the second straight week” coach Ted Harris said. Two touchdowns by quarterback Jaxon Jones, one by Treyton McCuaig-Jones and passing converts to tight end Jayden DuTemple and wide receiver Jeevan Nijjar resulted in a 22-0 Bulldog win last weekend. With the win, Cowichan got a bye to final, where they will face the winner between the Peninsula Wildcats and the Bombers at Westhills. “The Pre-atoms are playing excellent football and should do very well in the final,” Harris said. The Peewee Bulldogs have also earned a bye into the Silver Cup final. Atoms Meanwhile, The Atom Bulldogs played what their coach called their best game of the season Sunday against the Nanaimo Lions. The game was a game of defences as both teams were able to get close to the end zone in the first quarter, with neither being able to capitalize. “Offensive linemen Ethan Giles and Wyatt Atkinson were able to give the running backs the time they needed,” coach Devon Lawrence said. “ Zack Pearson was able to break free and get the ball to the red zone.” He said linebackers Luke Larminay and Cyrus Upsahw were all over the field, but Nanaimo managed to score first, late in the first half. In the second half both teams were showing wear. The Bulldogs gave everything they had up to the last play where quarterback Aiden Lawrence was able to connect with receiver Koda Lang on a long pass where Lang was able to evade Nanaimo for 60 yards to score the only touchdown of the game. The Atoms play this Sunday June 15th, 1 p.m., at Westhills Arena in Langford against the Westshore Warriors in their Semi-Final game.

For the record

No going under for the Thunder Cowichan’s Midget B Thunder lacrosse team went undefeated last weekend to win the Matt Underwood Tournament in Sidney. The Thunder rolled over island teams Nanaimo 6-3 on Friday night and Juan de Fuca 13-0 Saturday morning, before meeting Port Moody. They were in control until penalty trouble cost them a 6-3 lead. Moody scored three in the last ﬁve minutes to

tie the game. Sunday morning the Thunder beat Saanich 6-4 in an entertaining game that could have gone either way, setting up a Port Moody rematch in the ﬁnal. Cowichan blew open a 3-3 tie in the third to win 9-5. Team play and stellar goaltending by Zander Cozine were key. Honours went to Michael Shepherd, Jack Chiquen, Braeden Grantham, Lucas Nagel and Jaeden Ashbee.

he Caps have traded one of their top returning scorers. But it was a price they were willing to pay to acquire an anchor for their blueline. Dane Gibson has been shipped by the team to the Victoria Grizzlies in exchange for the rights to a burly defenceman from Ontario. Jacob Kearley, 19, joins the Capitals after a year of BCHL experience with the Victoria Grizzlies. In 57 games, he accumulated 26 points (6g-20a) along with 46 penalty minutes. Kearley added another eight points (4g-4a) in 16 playoff games with the Grizzlies last season. The team believes he will give them an offensive upside in addition to size and grit with a 6’4”, 220 pound frame. “We are extremely pleased to add Jacob to our D-core,” said coach Bob Beatty. There aren’t many players that have the combination of skill, size, and character that this young man has.” Gibson had a career year this past season with the Capitals collecting 53 points (20g-33a) in 57 games to sit second in team scoring and goals, while leading the Capitals with nine power play goals. “We would like to thank Dane Gibson for his contribution over the past two years and wish him continued personal success,” said Beatty. Meanwhile, Gbson’s former linemate is also making a move. Mason Malkowich, a 20-year-old graduated forward has committed to

Dane Gibson has been traded from the Caps to the Victoria Grizzlies for defenceman Jacob Kearly. playing to Brock University this fall. “I’m excited to go down there and pursue my education and play hockey at a high level,” said Malkowich in a media release. “It was my goal from day one in junior hockey to obtain something like this that included me playing hockey and I’m glad it’s at a school like Brock University.” And the moves didn’t stop there. Forward Alex Bechtold, 20, is now a Capital, along with future considerations. He was acquired from the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in exchange for Clint Filbrandt. The gritty 6’1, 206 pound forward had a career-high 23 points (10g-13a) this past season with Drumheller and added an additional 12 points (5g-7a) in 13 playoff games, tied for fourth for the team lead in playoff scoring. “Alex is a big, strong, power forward and he’s an extremely hard working player,” Beatty said. “He is developing a reputation for being a big game player.” Filbrandt appeared in 22 games with the Capitals this past season after being acquired from Penticton in the Steen Cooper trade.

any might consider the Chemainus Legion Twilight Shuffle 5K Run/Walk unique because it takes place on a Tuesday evening. Or because it takes participants right through the heart of downtown. But it could also be its age and longevity — the event is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, after all. The Chemainus Legion is preparing to host the Twilight Shuffle 5K Run/Walk in downtown Chemainus Tuesday, June 24 at 7 p.m. Chemaninus-born marathoner Phil Nicholls and his mother Lorna started the Twilight Shuffle 30 years

ago to celebrate athletics and youth in the community. “Starting the Twilight Shuffle with my mother in 1984 was a great way to give back to the community where I had my start in running” said the three-time winner of the Victoria Marathon. “This year, we’re encouraging everyone to take part to celebrate the long history of this event and raise money for an important cause — supporting our Legion.” Over the years, the Twilight Shuffle has raised money for various organizations, but for the last 10 years, it has focused on the Lorna Nicholls Memorial Bursary, which is awarded to a local high school student with athletic talent who is pursuing postsecondary education. “It is great to give back to the community while honouring one of our former members,” Janet Mitchell, an executive member of the Chemainus Legion, said in a press release. The Twilight Shuffle is one of

the only evening running events on Vancouver Island, making the run not only unique, but also a great opportunity for walkers and runners of all ages and abilities to take part in the community spirit of Chemainus. “When I think back on it, I was still living there too, so it was a big part of the community, which I still try to maintain, and some of the original people from the Legion are still involved,” Nicholls said from his Island Runner store in Victoria. “It was pretty innocent how it started. I think the first two or three years, the fire truck was the lead vehicle, and it was always out and back on Chemainus Road. “That was the most interesting thing about it, to be on a main road. That continued until it grew to almost 1,000 people, which was in 2003 or 2004, when it was showing rapid growth and popularity.” Nicholls says that over the years, he had ideas that the run would get bigger and bigger, but it hasn’t gotten

Not even the rain stops the Twilight Shufﬂe, a longtime staple of the Chemainus running scene. back up to that near-1,000 level of participation. “This really is going to be the year of a lot more reflection at the end of it,” he said. “It was rewarding to see a little event like that go to 1,000 people, especially on a Tuesday night and in Chemainus, but maybe now with the busy lifestyles, maybe a mid-week night isn’t the best. Most runs are on the weekend. It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years.” Nicholls says the Twilight Shuffle

is still one of the most well-known running events. “A lot of people know of the event or know people who have done the event,” he said. “This year, it’s still a pretty positive event with the number of entries. I’m still as passionate for the sport as I was 30 years ago.” For more information about the Twilight Shuffle, including registration details, visit www.islandrunner.ca/ chemainus-legion-twilight-shuffle-5k/ or contact Nicholls at 250-595-2378.
