Peter W. RuslandNews Leader Pictorial

Downtown merchants claim repairs to the old Red Balloon build-ing 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 fast-track legal and insurance glitches — on prodding renovations to the building at Craig and Station streets.

“We’ve still got this wart down-town,” Cowichan Merchants Build-ing manager Gord Heppell said of the Balloon building’s protracted � xes that basically began in 2009.

“We’re trying to promote down-town. The bottom line is this (mess) has been going on for � ve 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 respon-sibility for damage to the wooden building — involve city lawyers and the Municipal Insurance Associa-tion of B.C., and legal counsel and insurance agents representing build-ing 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.

“There’s no question it’s an eye-sore. 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

damage done during Craig Street revitalization work.

“I don’t think the city’s putting any value on how ugly and decrepit that (plywood-covered building) makes downtown look,” said Fairwell.

“It’s got to be a bad image for the city.”

background noise . . . he suggested I make an appointment with his audiologist, Dr. Miranda. Since birth I, now 77 years old, have had profound hearing loss and have been to many audiologists, clinics and hearing aid technicians looking for help. Owing to this experience, it puts me in the position to judge the quality of examinations . . . I must say that I have never had such a good examination as I had with Dr. Miranda.

The impact of the teachers strike locally is as varied as the opinions about it.

After taking a provin-cial study day on Mon-

day, 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 break-ing down over the weekend.

Cowichan high school student Tanner Davy-Rekers said he had some anxious

moments before the Labour Rela-tions 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 � nished his exam. “I’m

disappointed at both the teachers and the government for making it dif� cult to pass Grade 10. I think it’s stupid what the govern-ment has been doing, they’re trying to pull back programs,

they should be spending that money on education.”

To relieve the stress before the deci-sion about provincial exams, Davy-

Rekers said he worked out more at the gym.

It isn’t all bad. He’s started his construction job two weeks early and so will be earning more money.

Parent Brandy Mandrusiak works as a child care worker in the child-minding 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 desper-ate, 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 they have to stay home with them. A lot of the moms are having to forgo those 90 minutes of down time, a welcome respite from the tough job of parenting.

“I agree wholeheartedly with the strike, but it’s frustrating for a lot of people,” Ketch said.

Not Austin La� eur, a Grade 10 student who attends Cowichan High.

“It’s more fun than being in school,” La� eur said. “What’s going on is none of my business. It’s not that bad for us, we just get more days off from school.”

Quamichan Middle School student Eden Lush says she knows teachers are trying to help by standing up for what they believe in and for students too, but, “they’re wasting the time they could be helping by teaching.”

She doesn’t know how she’s going to � ll the time, but guesses she’ll spend more time at the aquatic centre.

Jake Russell, a Grade 8 student who attends the same school, was headed out to the skate park to spend part of his day.

“I’m not mad. They have a right to their opinions, but it does interfere with learning,” he said.

The impact on him? End of year dances were cancelled, exams weren’t held and he couldn’t get help from teachers because they were locked out by their employer during lunch breaks.

Children’s librarian Nariel Davis said the strike is preventing her from visiting local schools, to promote the Vancouver Island Regional Library’s summer reading club.

“Children librarians usually spend the month of June in elementary schools, promoting that program,”

said fellow librarian Monica Finn.While there might be a decrease

in the summer program because of the reduced publicity, the Cowichan branch’s story time program is being more heavily attended since the start of the strike and parents are checking out a lot more books.

The Strong Start program, which promotes early literacy for lower income children, is usually held in schools. But because of the strike, it will be offered at VIRL’s Chemainus branch. For more information about VIRL’s programs, visit virl.bc.ca

A little more removed from the situation are Archie Byatt and Josh Lafrance, who work in maintenance for the CVRD.

Byatt’s Dad was a teacher for 35 years and his daughter is now too.

“I’ll admit I’m biased, it’s a big job, the government should do whatever it can to get them back to work,” Byatt said.

Back in the day when he attended school, he remembers that teach-ers had aides to help students who needed extra help, “but they don’t have them now.”

LaFrance, a self admitted strong unionist, says teachers jobs are im-portant because, “they look after our kids for six to seven hours a day.”

“I support the teachers fully, they don’t spend the money on teachers; municipalities, the province and the feds give the money to themselves,” he said. “Administrative positions are always top heavy.”

On Thursday, the BCTF called for mediation. The government declined.

John McKinleyNews Leader Pictorial

The sinking of the Beaver into Cowichan Bay did not go unnoticed in Maple Bay and Che-mainus.

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 As-

sociation and Chemainus Residents Association maintain the municipal-ity 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 Vic-toria 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 oc-curring in the past two years.

“There is now even greater concern for the protection of all waters along

the local coastline,” she said. “As more coastal communities remove offending vessels through bylaw en-forcement, 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 Christ-mas and a series of derelict barges

were the focus of attention off Che-mainus for years before sinking.

“Identifying the owner of a derelict or abandoned vessel is time consum-ing and not always possible,” Kitson writes.

“The financial cost to the munici-pality 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.

North Cowichan urged to act on derelict vessels Weighing anchor: Residents say existing zoning regulations can address many concerns

Cowichan taxpayers are buying into a railroad’s recent promise to get passenger service back on track by � rst tapping

tourism, then commuter, potential, regional and rail of� cials indicate.

Last week, Frank Butzelaar, of line operator Southern Rail told Cowichan Valley Regional District directors his � rm 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 sub-sidies and resurrection of intercity passenger service.

Initially, it would link with tour-ism excursions, cruise-ship traf� c and local business ideas.Then rail and regional brass will gauge com-muter-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 com-muter 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 partici-pation by all � ve south- and central-island regional districts (Cowichan, Capital, Nanaimo, Comox, Alberni-Clayoquot) 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 South-ern’s pitch for support.

Despite some public and political “grumbling” about cash sources for repair costs, the CVRD remains on board to fund resurrected pas-senger 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 pro� table — and pas-sengers and freight will make it � y. They’re talking about earning their way into it over a long period of time.”

The long haul will see passenger ser-vice running during the day, with an emphasis on tourism excur-sions to and from Victoria, not necessar-ily commuter

services, Fraser signaled.Ef� cient island-commuter service

would spell “numerous trains at dif-ferent 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 com-muting 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 traf-� c, currently running slowly due to safety issues.

Fraser and Bruce believed the other four regional districts and Via are all on board, despite The Re-gional District of Nanaimo’s recent vote of non-con� dence.

Fraser indicated tourism rail could include a car for cyclists and others targeting Cowichan’s web of trails, and other eco-based at-tractions that could see hostels and more created.

A new elemen-tary school in Lake Cowichan and the re-

placement 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 lo-cally, the Cowichan Valley School District ranks be-hind 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 long-range facilities plan contains a list of six rec-ommendations. 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 ap-ply for these new schools would improve the condi-tion of these facilities and educational opportunities for students,” the report reads.

Also on the need-soon front are major mechani-cal upgrades to Che-mainus Secondary, Ecole Mount Prevost Elemen-tary, and Frances Kelsey Secondary, along with the replacement of the board office and operations department.

The district is eyeballing the recently closed Dun-can Elementary School site as a potential site for the new board office. The report recommends a re-view 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-catch-ment-area students.

“The potential for over-capacity can be mitigated by the district limiting the number of out-of-attendance-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 over-capacity situation at these schools over time.”

New lake elementary and Cow High replacement remain atop SD79 wishlist Facilities plan: Dis-trict watching four schools closely for overcrowding

Patrick HrushowyNews Leader Pictorial

Has 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, be-cause there are myriad of mainstream environ-mental groups — many � nanced by American 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

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 � ghting 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 signi� cant portion of the people who are opposed are open to chang-ing 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

the pipeline by then. That means the coming months will be a war of words and public demonstra-tions trying to scare elected of-� cials 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 � ghting 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 Conserva-tives.

It is yet another to get those in that same hip and fashionable demographic to actu-ally take a half-hour out of their day in 16 months to go and vote.Patrick Hrushowy is a Cowichan writer and political consultant. Email him at [email protected]

Is Enbridge setting up Harper for re-election?

The case forTruth be told the month of June is typi-

cally 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 fi nish line.

Those who needed their provincial ex-ams are getting them. Those who didn’t are getting an early jump on summer out of school, instead of in it.

Seeing both sides of: school getting out earlySeeing both sides of: school getting out earlySeeing both sides of: school getting out earlyThe case againstStudents get a fi xed amount of

instruction time per year.It’s bad enough that some choose to

— or are even able to — coast through the fi nal 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 agree-ment.

When will the tired phrase “it’s about the kids” fi nally be taken to heart?Some students were out riding in the Duncan skate-

park Wednesday when they would normally be in class.

“Inevitably, voter fatigue will set in.”Hrushowy

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

It 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 Co-

wichan 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 ill-equipped facilities ranks among the very best.

What does that tell you about the investment this province has made in education during the past decade?

The ranking is based on the cost of � xing maintenance de� ciencies com-pared 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 prov-ince is considered in good shape.

More damning, nearly 50 districts are ranked as poor, includ-ing two that scored higher than .6, or very poor.

Cowichan’s ranking was swollen by the presence of � ve schools that earned the “good” ranking, predictably includ-ing 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.

We say:How could this have been allowed to happen?

Bad childhood is no justifi cationDear 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. MilburyComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

This is just a horrible, tragic story

Dear editor Oh my gosh, this whole El-

liott 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 with-out parole. I hope he gets help while he is in there. Tragic.Heather Kerr Comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

How can we know he won’t do it again?Dear editor

William Elliott wasn’t the only

one with an unstable life, or living with abuse of alcohol. Others didn’t become murderers. Murder is murder. He deserves to be behind bars.

If he doesn’t “know right from wrong,” than how do you know he won’t do it again? My heart goes out to the mothers and families.Marina GeorgeComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Green thinking, not money should guide our recyclingDear editor

The recent recycling changes are ridiculous. It was only a mat-ter of time before the recycling companies were dictating because of pro� t 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 recy-clable, not what the companies and CVRD can make a pro� t 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 some-one can make a dollar on itKim WilsonComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Directors simply doing what is right under the OCPDear 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 applica-tion 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 Of� cial Community

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 speci� cally addressed in the OCP.

I commend the decision of the directors who voted to uphold the law and respect their com-munities’ OCPs. This was a vote against an application based on the law, not a vote against the applicants.Marilyn VenturiComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Fifteen years is anything but temporaryDear editor

CVRD directors need to be commended for their diligence in upholding our of� cial commu-nity plan and zoning bylaws in the face of a very aggressive cam-paign 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 tempo-rary 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 QuastComments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

government because I had an army pension of $11.25 a month, so I started making home brew and sell-ing it in order that my family should not starve,” said a veteran accused of supplying liquor to an Indian (sic).by Ann Andersen

Eighty years ago we had a pretty idyllic lifeDateline 1934: Easy entertainment the watchwordAnn AndersenNews Leader Pictorial

It stands to reason that life was for the most part tranquil in the Cowichan Valley 80 years ago, and the weekly Cowichan Leader re� ected 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 � nancial 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.

What’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 low-frequency 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 sys-tems, and pedestrians/bicyclists wearing headphones, this technology will assist

everyone using our roads safer, notes Swain.

Police vehicles will still be using regu-lar sirens, but can activate the Rumbler at the same time, if required.

“North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP and the municipalities we police are committed to doing everything we can to make our roads and our responses to emergencies as safe as we can.”

— Peter W. Rusland

Cowichan RCMP ready to rumble

Police sirens could have a little more oomph soon.

We’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.

pnder their clues during last year’s

Georgina Falt Memorial Mind

Games Music Trivia event.

Don BodgerNews Leader Pictorial

“Keep on playing those mind games together.’’

That line from John Lennon’s famous song, Mind Games, figures promi-

nently into the title of the second-annual Georgina Falt Memorial Mind Games Music Trivia fun-draiser 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 Colum-bians and their families who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,’’ noted Natasha Collett, events assistant for the Al-zheimer Society of B.C.

“Nearly 10,000 of these people are Baby Boom-ers under the age of 65. With an aging popula-tion, the reality is that the number of people diagnosed with Alzheim-er’s disease or other dementias is growing. New statistics indicate that if nothing changes, the number of people liv-ing with dementia in B.C. will more than double

over the next generation.“The cumulative

health-care cost is pro-jected 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 orga-nizing 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. Par-ticipants 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 [email protected].

Playing mind games takes on a whole new dimensionAlzheimer fundraiser: Registration now open for second-annual fun charity event

Hot laps with F1 World Champ Sebastian VettelBOWMANVILLE, Ontario. Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel has been driving since 1991 – 20 years less than yours truly. The Infiniti-Red Bull Racing Team lead man was only three-and-half years old when he took the wheel on a kart in his native Germany. He began racing four years later at the ripe old age of eight. He has a few years under his safety harness but he’s always up to learn from his elders. Last year, the 26-year-old wunderkind showed off his driving skills to me and buddy Brian Makse – a man also with racing pedigree – in an Infiniti FX50 Vettel Edition FX on the Paul Ricard Circuit in the south of France. We both figured his cornering needed work. Seb’s seat time with us clearly paid off as thereafter he won his fourth straight F1 championship. It came as no surprise then that he would jump at the opportunity to take the wheel again alongside me. Brian wasn’t available but I headed here to the Canadian Tire Motorsport in Ontario to work the magic again. The affable young guy has had a tough start to the F1 season, battling with the new hybrid technol-ogy. I put in some time first with retired F1 driver and

now ace BBC TV F1 commentator David Coulthard on an auto cross track, laid out in the shape of the Infiniti logo. As I finished my turn at the wheel of the Infiniti Q50, the Scot sent me off to Seb with the words: “No cones were hurt in this filming...”I’ll take that as a compliment for my error-free drive. Buckled up in another Q50S ($47,450), I wondered if Seb would demonstrate an improved cornering technique as we did a hot lap together around the reputedly fast 3.95-kilometre track. He greeted me warmly, I thanked him for a hat he had kindly autographed, which I recently auctioned off. He was pleased to hear it had raised hundreds of dollars to help send local leukemia-stricken teen Ryan Fagnan and his family on a last vacation, shortly before he died. We roared out of the pit lane through the first turn and continued to accelerate downhill – close to 170 km/h – towards the second turn. Locals told me the stretch to the turn features a number of camber changes down to the second turn, scene of most of the track’s fatal crashes. Gulp. Obviously, nobody had cautioned him as he whipped the family sedan effortlessly round,

talking about how he relaxed as we drove. Movies with happy endings apparently. Ah, the same conclusions he likes to F1 races. “There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the

go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horse-power twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily. “Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I remind-ed him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge? Videos of my day with Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard can be viewed at: http://bit.ly/1ujR58W

[email protected]

Safety Tip:As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around

playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Question of the WeekFour-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16?

greeted me warmly, I thanked him for a hat he had kindly autographed, which I recently auctioned off. He was pleased to hear it had raised hundreds of dol-lars to help send local leukemia-strick-en teen Ryan Fagnan and his family on a last vacation, shortly before he died. We roared out of the pit lane through the first turn and continued to accel-erate downhill – close to 170 km/h – towards the second turn. Locals told me the stretch to the turn features a number of camber changes down to the second turn, scene of most of the track’s fatal crashes. Gulp.Obviously, nobody had cautioned him as he whipped the family sedan effortlessly round, talking about how he relaxed as we drove. Movies with happy endings apparently. Ah, the same conclusions he likes to F1 races.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new com-pact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreci-ation.The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

Here are some recently celebrated promotions from the past year:

Baljet management is also grateful for the years of dedicated commitment and service of Chan Gill (26 years), who has retired.

Baljet GM recently reached its one-

year milestone under new ownership.

Although many companies going

through similar changes have

endured adversity, Baljet GM

has flourished. Baljet’s success is

due largely in part to the strength

of its longtime complement of

professional staff, many who have

been acknowledged for their years of

dedication and hard work with recent

promotions.

Few businesses can attest their

success through the stability of their

workforce. Baljet GM proudly boasts

that more than a dozen of their team

members are celebrating ten years

with the company, with six members

of its management team celebrating

20 years or more!

"The small town personal customer service and deals done over a hand shake philosophy have led to the

enormous success of this dealership since 1987. We plan to continue with

that philosophy,”

Craig Sabourin, General Manager. Sabourin is a 4th generation Vancouver Islander who was born and raised in Central Saanich and Shawnigan Lake.

Rock 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 McCaf-ferty last year.

Faithful to her old friend McCaf-ferty, 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 origi-nal singer.”

Mills knows. She joined the Head-pins in around 1981, after the band was � rst 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

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 Al� e 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 demo-graphic 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 � rm. “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 � gure 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; (per-forming is) in my blood and every � bre 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 out� t 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.”

It 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 � nest 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 � nest young violinists, not only in the val-ley, 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 instru-ment. 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 � nishes this program he will likely pursue a master’s degree

or artist diploma. Regardless, music will be front-and-centre for the rest of his life.

“I play because I love it,” he said. “Playing the violin is one of my favourite things to do because I think it is incredibly interesting and fun.”

To help raise money for his educa-

tion he is holding a recital Sunday in the Shawnigan Lake School Chapel. Pianist Naomi Barclay will accompany him as plays music by Wieniawski, Bach, Arcuri, Paganini and Vitale.

The show starts at 2 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation.

The Cowichan River and the man who knows her bestThe Cowichan River and one of its most dedi-

cated caretakers takes centre stage on the small screen this weekend.

CHEK TV’s Vancouver Island Chronicles docu-mentary series focuses this week on The Cowichan River Story.

A media release says the show will see fi lmmaker

Edward Homer look at the history of this iconic Vancouver Island River and the challenges of sustaining its fi shery.

“The central fi gure 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 profi les people on Vancouver Island working to make a positive difference in their com-munities.

It broadcasts Sundays at 4 p.m.

Angela 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. De-spite 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 condi-

tioning.“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 excel-

lence.“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.

Etherington reaches her peak efficiency in Vancouver Marathon

A Duncan man has been honoured nationally for years of work in the Kootenays.

Mal Stelck’s efforts in ad-vancing 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 quali� cations 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 (1975-78), as well as president of the

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 direc-tor of student services and college relations, principal of the Castlegar campus, and then vice-president of educa-tion,” it reads.

The Mal Stelck Leader-ship 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 evolu-tion of the CCAA has been an honour and a privilege,” said Stelck.

According to neice Michelle Lund, Stelck has worked as an auxillary of� cer with the RCMP in Duncan and played a role in bringing a drug awareness campaign into lo-cal schools.

He also volunteered with the local cancer agency driv-ing patients to and from Vic-toria for cancer treatments.

He and wife Maureen have lived on their acreage in Dun-can for more than 10 years. — with � les from the Castlegar News

Pre-atom Bulldogs in fi nalCowichan’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 fi nal, 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 fi nal,” Harris said.

The Peewee Bulldogs have also earned a bye into the Silver Cup fi nal.

AtomsMeanwhile, 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 fi rst 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 Up-sahw were all over the fi eld, but Nanaimo managed to score fi rst, late in the fi rst 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.

Many might consider the Chemainus Le-gion Twilight Shuf� e 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 lon-gevity — the event is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, after all.

The Chemainus Legion is prepar-ing to host the Twilight Shuf� e 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 Shuf� e 30 years

ago to celebrate athletics and youth in the community.

“Starting the Twilight Shuf� e 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 every-one 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 Shuf� e has raised money for various orga-nizations, 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 post-secondary education.

“It is great to give back to the com-munity while honouring one of our former members,” Janet Mitchell, an executive member of the Chemainus Legion, said in a press release.

The Twilight Shuf� e 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 in-volved,” Nicholls said from his Island Runner store in Victoria.

“It was pretty innocent how it started. I think the � rst two or three years, the � re truck was the lead ve-hicle, 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

back up to that near-1,000 level of participation.

“This really is going to be the year of a lot more re� ection 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 Shuf� e

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.”

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 fi ve 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 fi nal. 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.

It’s June, and conditions could not be any better for baseball in Duncan.

And we’re not talking just about the sunshine.

On Sunday, Duncan Junior Baseball is set to wrap its season with a glorious afternoon of diamond fun, featuring games, awards, family entertainment and the highest level of baseball action available on Vancouver Island.

The Victoria HarbourCats of the West Coast League will be playing an exhibition game at Evans Field against the Langley Blaze of the Paci� c International League, a team containing former college and ex-pro players.

Duncan Junior Baseball president Kevin Olender said the calibre of ball will be the highest you can see on Vancouver Island, and the surrounding show should turn the traditional end of the

season wind-up party into a great afternoon of entertainment for the entire community.

“We applied to bring (team mas-cot) Harvey the HarbourCat and while that was going on, we learned (the HarbourCats) were interested in coming over the hill,” he said.

Plans came together into what might be the biggest event of its type Duncan Junior Baseball has ever hosted.

Best of all, the event is free.“We will be having a donation

box,” he said. “We wanted to make it free to families who normally can’t make it out to the ball game of this calibre.”

The day begins with exhibition ball for the youngest players, fol-lowed by minor baseball awards

ceremonies, all complemented by a kids’ bouncy castle, � sh pond and concessions.

Brad Norris-Jones, the Harbour-Cats’ marketing director, told the News Leader Pictorial earlier this year that the game is a great op-portunity for the team to expand its fan base and showcase the talents of its players.

First pitch for the HarbourCats and the Blaze is slated for 1 p.m., with lots of between-inning fun, including a tee-shirt cannon, and a chance for someone to make a pitch to win $25,000.

“Bring a lawn chair. We have seating but we are expecting a big crowd,” Olender said. “ Or a blanket — we have a great hillside viewing area.”

The 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 play-off 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

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 some-thing 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 consid-erations. 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.

Caps shuffl e deck with two tradesMoving on: Out are Gibson and Filbrandt, in are Bechtold and Kearley

Andrew Leong/� leDane Gibson has been traded from the Caps to the Victoria Grizzlies for defenceman Jacob Kearly.

Don BodgerThere was snow on the ground last time Harvey the HabourCat was in Duncan, but sunshine is a likelier forecast for his return on June 22.

For the recordIn Wednesday’s story about the rowing

nationals, a quote was incorrectly attrib-uted to the Shawnigan coach.

It was actually Brentwood coach Deb-bie Sage who said the meet was special because of the way they pulled together as a team. Brentwood students won a total of 38 medals in seven fi nals. Our apologies
