Prove benefit before building sewage plant, opponents say Daniel Palmer News staff

The Capital Regional District should request an exemption under new federal regulations that require it to build a sewage treatment system, says a local group opposed to the project. The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment (ARESST) argues the current system of pumping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is safe and effective. The group held a press conference at Clover Point on Monday and called on the CRD to refuse to begin construction on a treatment plant unless an environmental impact assessment can prove the current system is causing harm. “What annoys scientists is when people pretend to be doing things for scientific reasons when they’re not,” said prof. Chris Garrett of the University of Victoria’s earth and ocean sciences department. The federal government’s Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations, announced last week, require all municipalities to meet a threshold for sewage treatment. It estimates 25 per cent of municipalities across Canada will require sewage treatment upgrades. Former federal minister of environment David Anderson said the regulations are too broad and need to be adjusted for regions like Greater Victoria that treat their sewage by alternative means.

Never too old to put pep in your step Researcher seeks inactive seniors to study benefits of walking Natalie North News staff

Phyllis McCormand slings her leg over the back of a park bench at Clover Point on Dallas Road and leans into a deep stretch. Later, she’ll smile before gracefully bending forward and pressing her hands flat against the ground. At 88, McCormand has no problem following along as personal trainer Kristina Kowalski

leads her through a brief stretching session. McCormand cannot, however, participate in a study recently launched by Kowalski, a PhD candidate in the University of Victoria’s school of exercise science, and the department of psychology. McCormand starts her day with an hourlong walk through Lambrick Park, so when she heard Kowalkski was looking for 100 seniors to participate in a study that aims to uncover the cognitive and physiological benefits of walking, she was keen to sign up. But she couldn’t – she is already too active. “She felt that I walked around the park too much, ran up and down the stairs too much,” said McCormand, who also participates in exercise sessions at The Victorian, a retire-

ment residence in Gordon Head. “I don’t specifically pay any attention. I just walk.” Kowalkski is recruiting people over age 65 who aren’t meeting Health Canada’s physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, for an eight-week study slated to begin in August. Walking groups will likely take place near the Gorge, UVic, Lochside, Dallas Road and Elk Lake. Kowalski plans to begin groups with lower intensity, 15-minute walks at the start of the study and build to 30 to 45 minutes of moderate intensity by the time her research is through.

Jailed teens share insider stories Graphic novel offers insights, warnings for young offenders Natalie North News staff

Veterans of youth detention, teens who have lived on both sides of Victoria Youth Custody Centre’s walls, are sharing their wisdom in an effort to keep other young people out of jail. Six youth in custody contributed to a graphic novel based on personal experiences – their hopes, fears and challenges as they attempt to successfully transition back into society. “We took kids who were in the system quite a bit to share their insider knowledge to other youth who are new to the system,” said project co-ordinator Kate Creedon, a counsellor at the custody centre. “The ones who are in and out are experts in what to do and what not to do because they’ve lived it for years.” Creedon was a graduate student researching youth transitioning out of custody through the University of Victoria’s Centre for Youth and Society during the creation of the graphic novel. In and Out follows Corey as he violates his probation, reenters the custody centre, builds a relationship on the outside and fights pressure from his brother to reoffend. The story is based on the experiences of the authors and their peers who were successful in transitioning out of custody – a process they agreed was reliant on establishing new, healthy relationships, connecting to school or training programs

Graphic novel In and Out was created by teens in Victoria youth custody. and finding employment. But with incarcerated youth in B.C. reading at an average Grade 4 level, job prospects are dim. The 76 per cent recidivism rate in the province is closely correlated to their literacy skills, Creedon said. As Creedon helped the teens identify which ideas they wanted most to impart on new offenders, some would stop short of writing on the white board for fear of demonstrating weak language skills in front of their peers. “We just talked about (that) we were trying to educate people about literacy and take the shame out of it. They were

willing to work through that together and be patient with each other and write as a team, to use each others’ strengths and weaknesses to come up with the final project.” Words are paired with illustrations by Meghan Bell, a former employee of the Centre for Youth and Society, a research centre that promotes the health and wellbeing of youth. The authors took ownership of both the content, reviewing pages from Bell as they were completed. “I was surprised that a lot of the kids were really interested,” Creedon said. “I

wasn’t really sure if the idea of the literacy angle would be appealing and I wasn’t sure if a graphic novel would be appealing, but they were really excited.” The Centre for Youth and Society regularly disseminates research through a variety of mediums, including visual art and video, with the aim of making knowledge accessible to those who will make decisions and act on it, said Tricia Roche, manager of research and community partnerships for the centre. “(We) wouldn’t have been satisfied with the knowledge sitting on a shelf in the library,” Roche said. “Not everyone’s going to sit down and read a thesis and people with literacy issues aren’t going to.” The youth who participated can’t be identified or contacted for interviews, but have submitted 100 per cent positive written feedback on the project. “It was cool because it was real kids talking about real stuff,” wrote one youth. “It was cool people trusted us to do this,” wrote another. For Creedon, the steps between pitching the project to celebrating its completion with a group viewing of graphic novel-inspired film X-Men, didn’t come easily. “It was one of the hardest groups that I’ve done,” she said. “I was so proud of my kids for completing this and working through the challenges and being patient with the process and I’m thrilled that the community is so interested in what they’re doing.” In and Out will be distributed to youth custody centres across the province and is available to the public online at youth. society.uvic.ca. The Victoria Community Literacy Plan and the Victoria Family Court and Youth Justice Committee funded the project.

Wheels of justice turn shockingly fast for petty thief Edward Hill News staff

In what is breakneck speed for the B.C. court system, a View Royal man was sentenced to jail 10 hours after being arrested for trying to break into cars last Thursday morning. In the early morning of July 19, officers with the regional crime unit (RCU) had Jonathan Daniel Ross under surveillance. Police say the 32-year-old prowled around several residential properties trying door handles of cars in driveways.

The Great Quidam™ Character Hunt

TARGET

At one home, he looked in a mailbox for uncollected mail. Unsuccessful at any vehicle break-ins, he was arrested in the 100-block of Cheltenham St. in View Royal while riding away on a bicycle, and was charged with attempted theft and trespass at night. Less than 10 hours later at Western Community Courthouse, he pleaded guilty to trespassing and received 90 days in jail and one year of probation, with a condition that he can’t be anywhere within the boundaries of View Royal.

Most offenders, even for petty crimes, often appear in court several times before reaching a point of entering a plea. Only a few hours after submitting the charges to Crown counsel, a probation order for Ross landed on the desk of Staff Sgt. Gary Schenk, which he thought was a clerical error. “In 25 years of policing I’ve not seen a case progress from arrest to sentencing that quickly. It is very unusual, it was very surprising to see,” said Schenk, commander of the RCU. “I don’t recall a case

where someone is sentenced on first appearance.” Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie said quick guilty pleas happen often, although not usually on a first appearance. “It’s more common with individuals who have familiarity with the justice system,” MacKenzie said. “If they recognize the Crown has a strong case, they may want to get the matter dealt with quickly.” The RCU, which targets prolific offenders across Greater Victoria, had Ross under surveillance due to an increase in thefts near where

he lived in the Burnside Road West area. Ross, a drug addict, had moved into a residence with other known offenders, Schenk said, which coincided with a number of thefts from vehicles in nearby neighbourhoods in Saanich and View Royal. Not wanting to stray far from home, Ross has been found guilty of a number of crimes based in View Royal, including possession of stolen property and theft in February and April this year. He was also found guilty of possession of stolen property last October.

Cadboro Bay land claim could unearth lost history Court cases won or lost on archive documents from around the world Natalie North News staff

As the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations prepare to take on senior level governments over compensation for the alleged loss of village land in Cadboro Bay 160 years ago, local experts in ethnology and archaeology are preparing to be called on in the case. Grant Keddie, curator of archaeology at the Royal B.C. Museum, testified in a 2006 B.C. Supreme Court battle over the land on which the legislature sits, which ended in a $31.5million out-of-court settlement for the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. While he can’t comment on the specifics of the current case, he knows what to expect during hearings that hinge on prephotographic evidence: ethnographic information, historic documents, drawings, maps and oral histories. “How do you decide whose information is correct and whose isn’t?” Keddie said. “It isn’t an easy question. You have to look at many sources of information and judge the relevancy of each one and really understand what the nature of that information is. There’s lots of information probably hidden in archives all over the world that people still haven’t found.”

OUR VIEW

Treatment foes must hound CRD I

n 2007, the News had a discussion with a broad-based, highly placed group of scientists from the University of Victoria. Focused only partly on the price tag of the Capital Regional District’s proposed sewage treatment system, they said the net benefit to the marine environment of pumping treated sewage into the ocean, rather than screened raw sewage, would be minimal. Other more pressing problems, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of non-native species – not to mention the effect of polluted stormwater – should take financial precedence, they said. The UVic scientists arguments, and those of anti-treatment group ARREST and former medical health officer Dr. Shaun Peck remain as compelling now as five years ago. While the CRD held open houses outlining a range of strategies for heeding the provincial mandate to treat the region’s sewage, there was virtually no public consultation around the actual decision to treat or not treat our effluent. That is problematic. But with federal regulations stipulating wastewater treatment now in place, an extra set of regulatory eyes are watching how the CRD proceeds on this matter. If, as former Victoria MP and treatment opponent David Anderson implied on Monday during a press confrence, the opportunity remains for the region to lobby for an exemption to the federal rules, based on a lack of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of secondary treatment, that needs to be determined as quickly as possible. But for the feds to make a funding announcement for the project in the high-profile manner seen last week, it’s clear they’ve made up their mind. The Stephen Harper Conservatives are not in the habit of leaving much to chance when it comes to their public image. Pulling an about-face now, especially after coming out with new federal regulations so soon afterward, would make them look pretty foolish. The role of the treatment opponents should now shift to keeping the CRD’s feet to the fire and ensuring hundreds of millions of dollars of tax money are spent wisely.

Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving.

LETTERS CRD wastewater must be treated The Core Area Wastewater Treatment Project will bring the CRD into compliance with two sets of legislation which apply to wastewater discharges; the B.C. provincial Municipal Sewage Regulation, under the Environmental Management Act, and the Federal Wastewater System Effluent Regulations under the Fisheries Act. Without moving forward with the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Project, the CRD would not be in compliance in our region with the new standards, and face penalties including fines. To be in compliance with both the provincial directive and federal regulations concerning the discharge of wastewater effluent, the CRD is required to have secondary sewage treatment in place by 2020. The new facilities will be designed to meet these

requirements and will be a significant benefit to the residents of the region and our receiving marine environment. The CRD has a commitment to meet regulations. We are fortunate to have a funding commitment from our provincial and federal government partners. Many other communities are now wondering how they will fund complying Denise with the new federal Blackwell standards. The CRD and the core area municipalities of Colwood, Esquimalt, Langford, Oak Bay, Saanich, Victoria and View Royal have been

working on the cost allocation for the wastewater treatment program for the last two years to arrive at a fair and equitable approach that has incentives and is understandable, stable and straightforward to administer. The CRD will allocate costs to the municipalities and each municipality will decide how best to recover costs from their residents. Cost allocation will be based on each municipalityâ€™s required treatment capacity. The CRDâ€™s analysis to date shows that the highest average household cost by municipality is less than $500 annually and the lowest average cost by municipality is just over $200 annually. Denise Blackwell Langford Councillor and Chair, CRD Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee

Re: Seven stories too high for campus of care (Letters, July 11) I agree with the writer of the Saanich News letter regarding the largest building for the Mount View Heights development being seven storeys. Baptist Housing should think about the neighborhoods they are putting these developments in. We not only have we lost our green space we have also lost our on-street parking and it appears no one gave any thought to the traffic problems that may arise because of this major building project. We are not only getting a sevenstorey building for a residential care facility with an attached six-storey building beside it for housing like the one proposed for Oak Bay. So far we have a Cool Aid housing building, which is three storeys, a low-cost housing building for seniors that is four storeys, an affordable family housing building at three storeys, and a proposed housing or office building. This all on a 3.3-hectare piece of land. The people of Oak Bay were against one building â€“ try six buildings and one seven storeys high. But donâ€™t complain â€“ council claims itâ€™s for the common good. I am not against housing for seniors and for low income families, but I think this is a bit too much for this Saanich neighbourhood and even though there was plenty of objection to this proposal the VIHA/Baptist/CRHD went ahead and made no changes to the height of these buildings. Donna Cooper Saanich

Mayorâ€™s LRT thoughts are not forward-thinking enough New transit taxes for light rail deferred (News, July 4) I donâ€™t often find myself taking opposite positions from my mayor, Frank Leonard, but on this issue I am. He is totally wrong about only taxing future users of the proposed LRT system. This kind of thinking is one of the reasons why we are in the situation that we are today. We have failing infrastructure everywhere and an empty bank account to maintain and/or overhaul it as needed, not just when we have the cash. This is an investment in our

Premierâ€™s position on pipeline probably just politicking My heart skipped a beat when I read that Christy Clark has finally broken her silence and said that she doesnâ€™t believe the Northern Gateway Pipeline (Enbridge) is a good thing for B.C. Then I realized that she is coming up for re-election next year. How gullible are we going to be this time around? Remember all the election promises that were broken by Gordon Campbellâ€™s Liberal government and by most political parties? Perhaps we should take her comments with a grain of salt and not be seduced into thinking she will maintain this point of view after the election. Lia Fraser Saanich

Owners should take extra care with their off-leash animals Re: A dogged fight for freedom (News, July 18) For weeks I have read numerous articles regarding â€œdogs in our parksâ€? on and off leash. As a person who has always loved and respected dogs, this subject has given me reason to ponder. Two years ago I was attacked for no apparent reason walking in the trails off of Interurban and Marigold. The dog went for my throat, but I shielded my upper body with my arms and he tore my rain jacket and bruised my leg when he lunged at my husband and me. Dog owners always think that their dog would never do this, and I know the owner of that dog said the same thing â€“ but it does happen. The after-effects are startling: my heart races, my anxiety is heightened while walking on the trails, and if I come upon a dog on a leash, I still have to think about my body awareness (the vibes I might be giving off, whether I should turn and go in another direction). All these symptoms escalate if the dog is off its leash with its owner

Area squirrel-feeder should consider shelled peanuts To the friendly person in our neighbourhood who is feeding unshelled peanuts to the our local squirrels: we appreciate the pleasure that you receive from feeding our friends in the summer and winter, however the little devils seem to delight in coming over and digging holes in our front and back lawns to hide their treasures, and then re-dig the lawn at their next scheduled meal time. In future, could you please consider buying shelled peanuts? They have two advantages: the squirrels are much more likely to eat the nuts on your property in full view and enjoyment. In fact, they will actually knock on your door if the shelled nuts are a bit slow coming. In addition, your neighbours will get a respite from the little guys messing up our lawns all year round. And for your information, the furry critters also enjoy shelled almonds and other nuts. Thanks in advance, from all of us (and our lawns) to you. Dave and Shari Poje Saanich

Vision Matters Dr. Stephen Taylor

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Can glasses weaken my eyes? There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientiďŹ c basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a personâ€™s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes becomes less ďŹ‚exible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably. Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postponement or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efďŹ ciency and even oneâ€™s safety.

Walking study aims to reduce risk of dementia Continued from Page A1

Kowalski will track her findings through questionnaires, walking tests and the use of a pressure sensitive mat to measure gait – an indicator of cognitive function, she said. “I have a unique background in both kinesiology, exercise science and I’ve always had a big interest in brain health,” said Kowalski, who holds a bachelor of science in kinesiology and psychology, and a master’s in clinical neuropsychology. “There’s a growing need to look at that area, because we do have a larger population of older adults. It’s a rapidly expanding portion of our population and physical activity is a way to promote our health as we age.” Strengthening Kowalski’s argument on the merits of an active lifestyle is 71-year-old Bob McMillan of Victoria – another ineligible participant in Kowalski’s study, given that he already walks four to five times each week on the Dallas Road pathway. McMillan has reduced function in one leg as a result of polio as a child. While his leg is the reason he gave up golfing and skiing, two of his favou-

rite activities, it has also caused him to ramp up the activities in which he can still participate, such as routine walks. “You’ve got to do something to keep the body going,” McMillan said. “You do what you can do.” Kowalkski aims to develop programs geared toward maintaining cognitive and physical health, boosting independence and quality of life, and reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. “We can’t control things like genetics, but there’s a lot we can do to promote our brain health.” Kowalksi doesn’t just walk the walk when it comes to her academic pursuits. When she’s not crafting her dissertation, the competitive triathlete is swimming, running and biking her way around town. Last year alone she competed in nine triathlons. “Maybe if some of the people in a (retirement) home see this, they might be motivated to do the same,” McMillan added.

Submarine torpedo shot a first for Canada Laura Lavin News staff

HMCS Victoria sent a U.S. navy ship to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean last Tuesday with a precisely aimed war shot. It was the first time in history that Canadian Forces fired a live torpedo in a training exercise. Victoria successfully fired an MK48 Heavyweight Torpedo on USNS Concord, which had been decommissioned for the purpose. “It’s a unique opportunity that we have through RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) to actually do live fire, with a target made ready for such an event,” said Capt. (Navy) Luc Cassivi, chief of operations for Maritime Forces Pacific and director of the Canadian submarine force. While the sailors train for months using “torpedoes” decked out with technical equipment, there’s nothing like using real ammunition to know you’re doing it right, he said. “(This) gives us full validation that every-

HMCS Victoria targeted the USNS Concord during a sink exercise at the Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, in Kauai County, Hawaii, on July 17. thing is working accurately – that it does what’s expected at the moment.” Roughly 1,400 Canadian sailors, soldiers, and airmen and airwomen are participating in RIMPAC 2012, with combined and joint exercises taking place near the Hawaiian Islands until Aug. 3.

RIMPAC offers senior members of the Canadian Forces the opportunity to assume positions of leadership, enhancing Canada’s ability to work with other nations of the Asia-Pacific region. “RIMPAC provides the Royal Canadian Navy with ample opportunities to enhance

our war-fighting skills and increase our interoperability with our coalition partners,” said Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. “Each nation benefits from the collective diversity of military training and experience of the other participants while completing their own training objectives and increasing their own level of proficiency.” Firing the torpedo was a milestone for the crew, Cassivi said. “It’s an event in which a lot of local people can be proud. Contractors, technical teams who looked after the Victoria’s refit – everyone who supported the sea trials and (training) in Nanoose.” The Concord was a Mars-class combat stores ship commissioned in 1968, decommissioned and transferred to Military Sealift Command in 1992 and deactivated in 2009. It was environmentally certified before the Canadian Forces spent the day firing on it from both sea and air. The torpedo firing was the “culminating event of the day,” Cassivi said. editor@oakbaynews.com

Federal riding proposals ‘haphazard’ says MP Roszan Holmen News staff

If proposed changes to federal electoral districts proceed, MP Denise Savoie will no longer live in her own riding.

She, along with all other residents of Vic West, will be carved off into a new urban riding called Esquimalt-Colwood. The proposed federal seat would include all of Esquimalt, Highlands and View Royal, and

portions of Victoria, Langford, Colwood and the portion of Saanich currently in EsquimaltJuan de Fuca. “Unfortunately, the proposed boundaries do not reflect the geographic realities of south-

ern Vancouver Island,” Savoie wrote in a statement. “The proposed boundaries in the Greater Victoria area are drawn in a way that will divide communities. “Whereas up until now, all these communities belonged to the same riding as much as possible, they are now being divided in an almost haphazard way,” Savoie said. The Saanich-Gulf Islands federal riding isn’t facing any proposed changes. Under the proposals, the EsquimaltJuan de Fuca riding would disappear and be replaced with the South Cowichan-Juan de Fuca riding, which would span from Ladysmith to Port Renfrew. A hearing on the proposed boundary changes, happens Oct. 17 at the Victoria Conference Centre at 7 p.m. Notices of submission are due by Aug. 30. Visit www. redecoupage-federalredistribution.ca to see details on proposed federal riding changes and to make a written submission.

this potent style of tea. Jared describes maccha – micro-milled into a near powder – as “green tea that you eat.” After watching him whip a hot-water-andmaccha combination on the counter into a frothy, green mixture, using a traditional bamboo whisk, one experiences consuming the tea rather than drinking steeped water. The drinker is meant to savour the mixture in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing it, allowing the various flavours – much like the characteristics of wine – to come through in the palate.

Discovery Island closed due to wolf Laura Lavin News staff

A lone wolf has won the battle for Discovery Island – for now. As of Monday (July 23), B.C. Parks has temporarily closed Discovery Island in response to the presence of a wolf, which was confirmed two weeks ago. The wolf is not displaying any behaviour that is a concern to B.C. Parks or the Conservation Officer Service. The closure will allow agencies time to determine the best course of action to ensure the continued health and well-being of the animal, while ensuring park visitors are not exposed to potentially dangerous encounters. Discovery Island is off the coast of Oak Bay and Ten Mile Point, and is a popular kayaking and camping destination. Campers on Discovery Island first reported a stray or abandoned animal to conservation officers in early May. To report sightings of the wolf, call the conservation centre at 1-800-663-9453.

Treatment going ahead, says CRD Continued from Page A1

“If the federal government decided to have the same snow removal requirements for Victoria as in Quebec, we would call that ridiculous,” Anderson said. But CRD chair and Victoria Coun. Geoff Young said the regulations are “here to stay” and the region has no plans to apply for an exemption. Any delay could also risk losing the combined $500-million promised from higher levels of government for the project, he said. “It is very clear through new regulations that the discharge of raw sewage is not going to be something that the governments are prepared to accept,” he said. See wastewatermadeclear.ca for more on the CRD wastewater treatment plant. The treatment plant opposition website is aresst.ca.

Johnston helped announce the Victoria Foundation’s Smart and Caring Community Fund to boost physical literacy and create endowment funds for Island charities.

Crashes injure motorcyclist, cyclist Two vehicle collisions left Victoria police scrambling Thursday afternoon (July 19). The incident with more serious results saw a 63-year-old Saanich motorcyclist collide with a Smart Car, sending the rider to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the vehicle, an 87-year-old Victoria woman, was turning left from Douglas Street

onto Market Street around 4 p.m., police said. A collision earlier in the day involved a commercial truck and a cyclist. The northbound truck was making a right turn onto Burdett Avenue off Douglas Street when the cyclist became trapped underneath the vehicle. The rider escaped with minor injuries, but his bike was

destroyed, said VicPD spokesman Mike Tucker. “I think this serves as an important reminder for vehicles to always shoulder check their blind spot,” Tucker said. “It's what known in the cycling community as being righthooked," he said, stressing that cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.”

Power ballads help reclaim historic street Roszan Holmen News staff

A block party typically suggests a gathering of neighbours, tables filled with potluck food such as hotdogs and chips, and kids playing on their street, which is closed to traffic for the afternoon. Get rid of these notions for the upcoming Amelia Street Block Party. Or amplify them by a factor of 1,000. Thatâ€™s the number of people expected at the Aug. 4 event. Block parties look a little different when theyâ€™re organized by Nick Blasko. Fresh from the Rock the Shores concert headlining the Tragically Hip, Blasko and his team are throwing a block party before gearing up for Rifflandia, a fourday music festival in September that he launched in 2008. In 2010 Blasko and his colleagues bought a 1913 Amelia Street house, and renamed themselves the Amelia Street Artists. â€œThe street in particular is a street Iâ€™ve always been fascinated with growing up in Victoria,â€? said Blasko. â€œIt is a beautiful row of heritage houses, yet the other side is

ARTS LISTINGS IN BRIEF

Nick Blasko, front left, Justine Shu, Dimitri Demers, Bryan Boitano, standing left, Jeff Kalesnikoff, Pierce Henwood, Tyson Yerex, Dan Ball and Lewis Carter are ready for fun on Amelia Street. faced with a sort of stark government building.â€? When the needle exchange opened nearby, it brought a lot of drug problems and other issues. And while the needle exchange has been closed for several years, the two-block street never fully

recovered, Blakso said. It is, however, a street in transition. â€œPeople are sprucing up their properties; there are major condominiums building built nearby,â€? he said. The party is a way to celebrate a

unique corridor in the city that is often overlooked, he said. Itâ€™s also about celebrating the cityâ€™s 150th anniversary. Blasko received a 150-celebration grant, and plans to highlight the history of the street during the event. Theatre Skam will perform historical skits throughout the day, and old photos of Amelia Street will be on display. So far, the oldest image is from the 1950s but Blasko is hoping to track down older photographs. Today, all the turn-of-the-century houses are occupied by businesses. Through organizing the party, â€œweâ€™ve been slowly getting to know our neighbours, which has been nice,â€? said Blasko. The event runs from noon to 8 p.m., and features a long line up of local musicians, such as Acres of Lions, Chris Ho, Clay George and others. There will also be chances to participate, such as with live-band karaoke. For people more inclined to sing along with the crowd, for one hour a DJ will play power ballads. A power ballad is a mid-tempo

ballad with epic vocals, said Blasko, adding, â€œthink Phil Collins or Journey.â€? â€œThey bring about the most ridiculous sing-along. It is the most hysterical yet awesome participatory thing you can ever witness. These are songs that have these really dramatic and recognizable moments in them and the crowd just all goes wild.â€? Hosting the event is Michael Delamont, a comedian who recently completed the fringe-festival circuit across the country. â€œTo get him to commit this much time to us is amazing,â€? said Blasko. rholmen@vicnews.com

Submitted photo

The members of Hexaphone took home the Best Performance of a Canadian Composition award from the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River.

Hexaphone, Victoria’s six-member a cappella ensemble, won the Elmer Iseler Prize for the Best Performance of a Canadian Composition at the International Choral Kathaumixw, a biennial five-day choral festival in Powell River. The award was announced at the closing gala concert on July 7. Hexaphone, which includes Carolyn Howe (soprano), Hannah Mitchell (alto), John Doughty (tenor), Ian Bullen (tenor), Nicholas Fairbank (baritone), and Paul Boughen (bass), sang Four Limericks written by composer Fairbank. The composition for six voices was presented in the Contemporary Choral music competition at Kathaumixw. Hexaphone repeated its winning performance of Four Limericks to the assembled

audience and international choirs attending the gala concert. The ensemble also placed second in the two classes that they entered, competing against choirs from Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia, China, Mexico, the United States and the Philippines. Now in its 10th season, the group was formed in 2002 with the goal of performing diverse styles of vocal music, one voice to a part. Hexaphone has become a highlight of Victoria’s music scene, singing music of many styles and periods, with a particular focus on new Canadian works. The group has appeared at the Victoria Symphony’s New Currents Festival, the Voice++ Festival, and the New Music In New Places concert series. llavin@vicnews.com

Lowry named coach of Victoria Royals NHL veteran coached Calgary Hitmen, Flames Travis Paterson News staff

The last time Dave Lowry coached in the Western Hockey League, he led the Calgary Hitmen to 59 wins in 72 games. Add in the Hitmen’s 14 playoff wins from that 2008-09 season and Lowry was behind the bench for 73 wins in total. That’s more than three times the amount of wins the Victoria Royals got in 2011-12. It’s a fresh start for the Royals, with Cam Hope named general manager on July 6 and Lowry named head coach on July 19. But there’s no denying the new bosses have their work cut out for them. “Opportunity is the reason I’m here,” said Lowry, who was with the Calgary Flames as an assistant coach the past three seasons. “As soon as Royals owner Graham Lee said (Marc Habscheid would be replaced) by two different positions, general manager and head coach, it solidified my interest. I called the team to let them know I was interested. “For me it’s coaching only. I’m not interested in the GM side of it.” Lowry, a player’s coach, said he’ll push an up-tempo style of play. As a pro, Lowry played 19 years

in the NHL, starting in 1985 with the Vancouver Canucks, and ending in 2004 with the Calgary Flames. He moved into an assistant coaching role with the Hitmen in 2005-06 and was groomed into the head coaching role under friend and fellow ex-NHLer Kelly Kisio, who handled the GM and head coaching duties.

“For me it’s coaching only. I’m not interested in the GM side of it.” – Dave Lowry In 2007, Lowry’s name tag switched from assistant to associate as he took more responsibility on the bench, eventually taking over the head coaching duties from Kisio in 2008. “Kisio is a good friend and we had a great professional relationship that allowed me to grow into the role of head coach,” Lowry said. The expectations for that 2008-09 season was to rebuild the Hitmen, Lowry added, but instead the team finished first in the WHL regular season and lost to the Kelowna Rockets (and Jamie Benn) in the WHL finals. “Just goes to show if you establish a good leadership group and culture it looks after itself.”

Victoria marathon relaxes standards Faster runners please, and more of them. The GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon has expanded its criteria to increase the number of sub-three hour marathoners with second category of elites. There are now Elite A and Elite B qualifying standards for the full and half marathons, in effect for the Oct. 7 race. Bonus prizes for breaking a course record of $5,000 for the marathon and $1,000 for the half marathon are now up for grabs to permanent residents and refugees, whereas only Canadian citizens were eligible in prior years. Elite B athletes will receive a complimentary entry and some other services. “We want to reward all of those who have made Canada their home,” said the marathon’s elite program co-ordinator Jonathan Foweraker in a release. The total purse for 2012, including incentive bonuses, is $38,800. Visit runvictoriamarathon.com for the standard times. sports@vicnews.com

Lowry and Hope are now in the process of getting to know each other and the team. “There was about 20 names that came forward for the coaching job, all with legitimate backgrounds, enough to be coaching at the WHL level,” Hope said. “The process started even before I was announced as GM (on July 6). We had to be ruthless and whittle the list down to 10, but at no time did anything happen that made me second-guess Lowry as the top candidate.” With the coaching role filled Hope, and Lowry, can turn to the draft, rookie and training camps, which will begin on Aug. 18, 22 and 25, or thereabouts.

WHL in the family Dave Lowry has two NHL drafted sons, Joel, 20, who played with the Victoria Grizzlies from 2009 to 2011, and Adam, 19, who will return to the Swift Current Broncos this year. During Joel’s time in Victoria, he signed a scholarship deal with Cornell University and was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, having been previously passed up in the 2010 draft. The Winnipeg Jets selected Adam in the third round of the 2011 draft. Dave is confident that Adam would refuse to come to the Royals, in such a situation that he was available. “As a father, I want to say no, but then I’d love to have him. But

Don Denton/News staff

Dave Lowry is the new head coach of the Victoria Royals WHL hockey team, named on July 19. I don’t think he’d want to come. Even so, it would have to be a very specific situation where, as a player, he’d be what we needed.” It wouldn’t be the first time with this franchise, as one of Marc Habscheid’s first moves when he was hired as the Chilliwack Bruins GM in 2009 was to trade for son Zach’s playing rights. sports@vicnews.com

Fast facts The Vancouver Canucks drafted Lowry in the sixth round of the 1983 draft from the OHL’s London Knights. The Toronto Maple Leafs picked Russ Courtnall seventh overall that year from the Victoria Cougars.

Sparring partners Winner Jeff Sparling leads the Elite A race with Pro City Racing teammate Kevin Ford, right, during the Windsor Park Criterium in Oak Bay on Sunday (July 22). Raph Lalumiere and Curtis Deardon were second and third, respectively, in the A race, with Jon Benskin, Lionel Gaudet and Trevor Mackenzie going first, second and third in the B race. Sunday was also the final day of racing for the Axel Merckx Youth Development series. Cyclists 11 to 18 years old did a time trial clinic at Western Speedway, track cycling at the Juan de Fuca Velodrome and sprint races at Windsor Park on Sunday.

Island zone tops at Summer Games Big wins from the Summer Games Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria-area athletes helped the Vancouver Island-Central Coast (Zone 6) team to the top of the B.C. Summer Games standings with 101 medals, 38 of them gold. Thousands of the province’s best young athletes gathered for the closing ceremonies of the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey on Sunday. More than 2,300 athletes competed in over 20 team and individual sports, with 375 medals doled out. “These Games saw a number of records fall as B.C.’s best came together,” said B.C. Games Society president and CEO Kelly Mann of Victoria. “We are seeing an escalation in skills in several sports, and many of the young people who competed here are well on their way to becoming provinciallevel athletes.”

On the water Zone 6 rowers, many from Victoria, dominated with each of the 11 athletes getting in on the team’s nine medals. Individually, Saanich swimmer Justin Howe, 14, pulled in gold in the 400-metre individual medley, and silvers in the 200-m freestyle and 200-m backstroke. His perfor-

Zone 6 boys win volleyball gold over Fraser Valley. mance bodes well for the upcoming agegroup nationals.

Volleyball Zone 6 won gold in boys volleyball, defeating Fraser Valley two games to one in the final. The team, which is heavily made up of Victoria players, defeated rival Fraser Valley during the ongoing club season. Coach Rick Wutzke of Lansdowne middle school said it’s the first time his team won against Fraser Valley, making the importance of this title even greater. “The biggest joy is beating (Fraser Valley) after coming second to them in both club provincial and club nationals,” Wutzke said. “We persevered, winning the last set 16-14, and the full gym of spectators went wild.”

Sam Willett, a Mount Douglas secondary student, won gold in the boys discus, silver in the hammer throw and was fourth in the javelin at the Summer Games. Victoria volleyball player Alan Lau didn’t hide his excitement and happiness, and on the podium, expressed his appreciation for the experience of the Games. “We had great fun, we had new players in the team, we also made great friends with other players and teams. “Volleyball is our passion and that’s what helped us reach this victory.”

Swimming, biking and running Island Swimming athletes Holly Henry and Farisha Arensen kept up Victoria’s rep as a triathlon mecca. Henry is the gold medal winner in the girls triathlon, and also competed in the aquathlon (swim and run) and duathlon (bike and run), but did not make the podium in the latter events. Arensen, however, won both the aquathlon and duathlon, key elements to a strong future career in triathlon.

Monday Magazine presents:

Second to none For all 38 gold medals Zone 6 won, the team came close to winning a few more. The Zone 6 girls softball team lost in the gold medal final, 7-0, to Fraser Valley. Also falling in the final was the boys rugby team in a nail-biter at South Surrey Athletic Park against Fraser Valley. Zone 6 scored first and took a 5-0 lead but Fraser Valley rallied back and ended up winning gold 12-5. “We’ve played Fraser Valley so many times (in different tournament formats),” said Brandon Schellenberger, who played hooker for Vancouver Island and also plays soccer in Victoria. “We’ve won one against them in Burnaby, and in Victoria they beat us in the finals, so taking silver twice is good (for us).” The B.C. Games cauldron will be lit again in 2014 in Mission for the Winter Games and in Nanaimo for the Summer Games.
