Songhees tighten control of Discovery Island Local islands included in First Nation reserve lands Laura Lavin News staff

Discovery Island is closed to the public because of a wolf spotted roaming the land, but the Songhees First Nation says it’s not open to the public at any time. “One-third of Discovery Island and all of the Chatham Islands are Indian Reserve,” said Songhees bylaw officer Trevor Absolon. “A lot of people are totally unaware of that.” The islands are not disputed territories, but

established Indian Reserves that have been home to the Songhees First Nation for thousands of years, and a place where band members lived until the late 1940s. “You have to forgive people to a degree because there’s not a lot of information out there. People and families have been going out there for decades, but now the Songhees are self-governing and have their own land code,” Absolon said. The islands are marked with “no trespassing” signs, but Absolon said that doesn’t stop partiers or tour companies from using the islands. “There’s a high risk to a beautiful, delicate ecosystem. If one fire gets out of control it will all be lost.” The Songhees Nation is stepping up patrols to demonstrate its jurisdictional control and ownership of

the islands. Signage at Cattle Point and Oak Bay Marina are part of a public awareness campaign. “Because people have been going there for so long we want to give them some warning,” said Absolon. The First Nation will begin patrolling the islands, with the help of RCMP South Island Marine Section, by boat and on foot to combat the increasing amount of garbage that is left on the islands by trespassers. Violators could face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both if caught trespassing on Songhees land. “Once things are under control we will start some kind of a permit system,” said Absolon. “If people go out there (in the future) they should pick up their garbage and respect the (Songhees) sovereignty. It’s about educating people and awareness.” editor@oakbaynews.com

Chris Hyde-Lay, Oak Bay's new manager of parks services, stands in Entrance Park, one of many green spaces in the municipality that Hyde-Lay and his team tend.

Parks manager returns to his roots Oak Bay’s new manager of parks services getting his feet on the ground Brittany Lee News staff

As Oak Bay’s new manager of parks services, Chris Hyde-Lay couldn’t be happier to be returning to his roots. Hyde-Lay, 52, was first hired in Oak Bay as a horticulturist in 1988. He worked in the municipality for about 16 years before a five-year stint at Bartlett Tree Experts. The Saanich resident was also the assistant supervisor of arboriculture for the City of Victoria from 2008 to 2011. “I’m really happy to be back,” Hyde-Lay says. “Oak Bay has so much to offer and I

When not walking his dog, raising his teenage son or tending to his rhododendrons, Hyde-Lay spends his time reading autobiographies, and occasionally kayaking. He used to be an active white water kayaker and squash player, he says. “I’ve always preferred to be outside than inside, even though this is a bit of an inside job,” he says. reporter@vicnews.com

Victoria transit improves ridership despite cutbacks Daniel Palmer News staff

Ridership is rising in Greater Victoria. Transit users broke ridership records for the second consecutive year, despite a cutback in service hours. B.C.

IN OAK BAY

Ruby Ann Ruffolo has been denied a new trial and stands convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her husband nine years ago in Saanich. In a written ruling released July 27, the Court of Appeal for B.C. dismissed Ruffolo’s main argument that her second lawyer on her second trial was “ineffective” because he failed to question her daughter Jovanna Ruffolo on the daughter’s whereabouts the night John Ruffolo was killed. The appeal court dis- Ruby Ann Ruffolo missed an affidavit from Jovanna made in March this year that suggested she was at home the night of the murder and that she didn’t hear or see anything out of the ordinary. On Nov. 18, 2010, Ruffolo was convicted of killing her husband John Ruffolo by giving him a protein shake laced with the drug amtripyline followed by a lethal dose of heroin on Oct. 19, 2003, at their Tulip Avenue home. A few days later his body was found in a ditch on Humpback Road in Langford. Justice Lance Finch, who wrote the ruling, doubted Jovanna’s recollection of events were better now than in 2004 at age 13 or 14, when she told police she wasn’t sure if she was home the night of Oct. 19, 2003. Ruffolo also argued that her lawyer Greg DelBigio failed to cross examine Jovanna on the daughter’s whereabouts the night of the murder, going against Ruffolo’s wishes at her second trial. The justice noted that Ruffolo didn’t raise this issue until March this year, and had ample chances to do so during her trial. Justice Finch also pointed out Ruffolo’s suggestion her daughter was home contradicted her earlier rather detailed notes that Jovanna had spent the night at a friend’s house. Ruffolo’s attempt to “explain this evidence away” is “not capable of belief,” the justice wrote. Other complaints by Ruffolo, such as her first lawyer giving ineffective assistance, or that her trial was unfair due to a procedural issue, were equally dismissed as baseless. Ruffolo is serving a life sentence without a chance for parole for 25 years. See the full court ruling at courts.gov.bc.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Off-duty Oak Bay officer helps save a life Arne Petryshen Black Press

An Oak Bay police officer came to the rescue of a man who’d swerved and went down a 100-metre embankment July 11. Sgt. Ian Craib was making his way past the Hannah Creek corner 14 km from Rossland on Highway 3B on a road bike, when he heard cries for help from the valley below. “I was thinking that it could be a mountain biker when I heard somebody calling,” said Craib. He and a friend had been mountain biking the day before in the same area. “When I did hear him, I slowed down and looked and when I saw the yaw (skid) marks and sort of the launch point, you could see the truck had gone off. It was at the midpoint of the curve,” he said. “You

Beacon Bus fundraiser given boost Anonymous donor gives half of $100,000 needed Daniel Palmer News staff

The Victoria Salvation Army is a huge step closer to replacing its mobile kitchen, the Beacon Bus. An anonymous donor gave $50,000 towards the $100,000 needed to replace the emergency response vehicle. “We are extremely grateful for the support and interest from the public with regards to the Beacon Bus and the campaign

to replace it,” said Kyla Ferns, special projects officer. The stalwart vehicle has helped volunteers provide meals, clothing and compassion to emergency workers and community members for 15 years. But the organization still needs to raise $50,000 to buy a replacement van and retrofit it with a full kitchen by the end of the year. “The loss of services provided by the Beacon Bus would create a significant gap in our local emergency management system,” said Sara Walsh, deputy emergency coordinator with Victoria Emergency

Walk-In Denture Clinic

The man was covered in lacerations, as well as blood and dirt. Within 10 minutes, the physician made his way down and the two of them comforted the man until the ambulance arrived. “He was in a position, from what I could see, where if he had gone unconscious, nobody would have heard him and he could've been down there for a while,” Craib said. “He was a pretty strong man to have climbed out.” After returning home Craib was relieved to find out that the man was released from hospital soon after the crash. Trail and Greater District RCMP said that the man had swerved to avoid hitting a deer and lost control of his truck and went off the road. editor@oakbaynews.com

OUR VIEW

Time to move forward on deer For the past month, the Capital Regional District has been offering the public a chance to share their opinions on deer management options, through a series of online forms. The fourth instalment in the weekly survey, the deadline for which is today (Aug. 1), solicits input on capture and relocation methods and repellants. For the first three surveys, which solicited feedback on controlled public hunt, sharpshooting, administering immunocontraceptives to deer, deer-vehicle collision mitigation and public education options, a grand total of 102 responses have been received. Compare that to the thousands of responses the CRD received when it solicited general public feedback on the issue last year. The huge difference could indicate a couple of things: expecting many people to fill out online forms is unrealistic; and that the public believes the matter is now in the CRD’s hands to deal with, promptly. The vast majority of the public is not versed in the best repellent methods for discouraging deer or how best to mitigate collisions with the animals. Trying to determine whether people prefer hiring sharpshooters to pick off deer in the dark of night over a controlled public hunt is moot, since it will evoke the same emotions as previous consultations. The CRD appears to be bending over backwards to further prove that public consultation is being done, through the use of an unwieldy online survey – one that the advisory group can take or leave, according to the group’s stated criteria. Instead of playing around with optics on this issue, the CRD needs to instruct the advisory group to complete its research, avoid the distraction of further polarized suggestions, and come up with a solution.

that the only reason I’m there is because the money I’m raising is to benefit them and kids like them who have been diagnosed with cancer – but, at camp, these impassioned gamblers and gameplayers are just kids. Here, the cancer doesn’t define who they are, and they are not judged or treated differently because they have scars and experiences that no child should ever have. That’s the beauty of Camp Goodtimes. As we tour the camp, and see the kids together, it’s evident that Matt misses the camaraderie and friendships formed in the weeks and over the years spent at camp. Because Matt is one of the Tour de Rock team’s guest riders this year, and we have a rigorous training schedule, this is the first time in 14 years he can’t spend at least a week there. But he, like the other 17 members of the Cops for Cancer team, knows that his commitment to ride will allow other kids with cancer to have a good time at camp. “Our day at camp was really a reminder about one of the main reasons I’m riding: for camp. It’s been so good to me for so many years and this is the biggest way I can give back.” – Kyle Slavin is a reporter for the Saanich News and a member of the 2012 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team.

Kudos to dog-friendly council What’s lost in the pipeline debate

Re: Expanded access to McNeill Bay leads to more dog-friendly Oak Bay (News June 1). As a south Oak Bay dog owner, I wish to add my support for the pilot project at McNeill Bay Beach for expanded dog access. This pilot project, approved by council in May, 2012, allows dogs at this beach sunrise to sunset through to Sept. 30, at which time the existing bylaws allow dogs access anytime until the next spring. Access for dogs to Oak Bay beaches and parks is very good in winter, and we dog owners are appreciative of these privileges. Come summer, however, Willows Beach is offlimits to dogs, Windsor Park limits dogs offleash after 9 a.m., and Anderson Hill Park is full

of spear grass, which can be fatal to dogs. McNeill Bay Beach is not used extensively by non-dog owners because of the cold winds, tideline variations, geese droppings and its rocky/pebbly surface. It is an ideal location in south Oak Bay where dog owners can safely exercise their dogs in a relatively large space in daytime during the summer. For local residents who prefer to enjoy their beach time without dogs, council also has made nearby Kitty Islet (with its chairs and picnic tables) prohibited to dogs as part of this pilot. Kudos to Mayor Jensen and council for trying to make Oak Bay more dog friendly. H. MacAndrew Oak Bay

Tax late fees excessive I have stewed over writing this for two weeks, ever since I paid my Oak Bay property taxes late by one day. I have lived in Oak Bay on and off for 20 years and I can say I have never paid my property taxes late … until this year. I was visiting family in England and I guess when I returned I lost a bit of momentum and completely forgot to apply for the homeowners grant or pay the taxes. When I realized my mistake I flew in to the municipal hall and paid. I was a day late. Monday, July 2 was a holiday this year, so the taxes were due on July 3. I paid on the 4, and for that I was charged an extra $400. I still can’t believe it – one day late. I can understand that Oak Bay needs the property taxes paid in a timely manner, but do you not think that a couple of days grace would be appropriate? This would enable the people who genuinely forgot to pay, to pay – as opposed to those people who knew that they couldn’t pay on

time for one reason or another. If a couple of days grace is not possible, what about a fee of one to five per cent for the first week after the due date? Then if the municipality must, increase it to the full excessive fee of 10 per cent starting the second week of non-payment. I really do feel very strongly about this and would be interested in the comments from other residents. As a final comment, some of these property taxes could be used to improve our community landscaping. We are definitely lacking in this area. If anyone has driven or visited the western communities lately they will have seen what a superb effort that municipality puts into its landscaping. We live in a lovely area of Victoria, where tourists visit our community. Please put some money and effort into our flowerbeds. Sue Leather Oak Bay

While we’re busy debating economics, jobs, risks, rights, etc. regarding the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, the most important reason for not building it is being overlooked and likely to the delight of the politicians and oil executives. More of anything to do with extracting more bitumen from the tar sands means more burning of fossil fuels which means more

climate change. The floods, the draughts, the slides – climate change is all around us. It’s time to get our heads out of the tar sand, kick the oil addiction and get on with employing renewable energies to power our planet. Future generations are counting on us. Dave Secco Oak Bay

Rec counsellors commended This summer I have, on numerous occasions, encountered groups of young children being monitored by counsellors from Oak Bay Rec. These counsellors deserve a lot of credit and thanks for the fine work they are doing with these children. I have seen them in parks, on Willows

Beach and most recently in the library where the children were wellbehaved and orderly. Too many times we forget the excellent work these young adults do caring for their charges. William Jesse Oak Bay

Talk sparks an interest A very interesting talk was given by Tim Willis, Director of Exhibitions and Visitor Experience at the Royal B.C. Museum, on July 14 at Oak Bay Library. His talk about Sir Cecil Beaton’s photographs of the British royal family, the Queen and the

outline of the life of Beaton was so informative that it created in me a desire to join the museum to learn more about the other exhibitions described. It’s something I now look forward to. Allison Holt Oak Bay

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our provincial budget.

We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences. Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy.

Herons making strong comeback Roszan Holmen

o i t c e l l o C r e m m u S e r i t En

News staff

Staccato squawking fills the air around Goodacre Lake at Beacon Hill Park. All the racket is a good sign. “We’re hearing children demanding food, loudly,” explains Fred Hook, Victoria’s environmental technician. For the past four years, the city has been keeping a close eye on the number of heron nests in the park. After they almost disappeared in 2009, the number of nests has climbed from 11 to 54 this year. That’s almost exactly half the number that were in the park in 2008. It doesn’t take long to spot the endangered species, high in the sequoia trees. Spectators on the stone bridge point out several nest sites, visible only by the large flapping wings of parent herons. Typically, herons build their nests in lower, more open trees. Hook speculates that this year’s switch to the tall bushy sequoias may be motivated by a desire to stay hidden from eagles. Eagles have been more of a threat in recent years. In 2008, a longtime resident eagle in the park died. His departure sparked the sudden drop in the herons’ population. The presence of an eagle’s nest nearby actually serves to protect the heronry, explained Hook. “When we don’t have an eagle nesting in here, then random, marauding eagles come off the shoreline and look for an

Herons sit in a tree at Beacon Hill Park, attracting birdwatchers and photographers. The number of heron nests in the park is up this year, but the absence of a protective resident eagle may doom unborn heron offspring to scavenger eagles. easy food source.” Herons are primitive birds, he said. “You see that when they fly, they need to do those long swoops. They can’t turn quickly in the air, which is one of the reasons the eagles have such an easy time taking their eggs.” This year, there are no new eagles nesting in the park, lowering the chances of success for the 54 heron nests, each with two or three babies. “As to the long-term success rate, we don’t know,” Hook said. “We do what we can to protect them, but we can’t get up there to chase off predators.” To help out the herons, the

city planted 180 native species of fast-growing trees – but these won’t be big enough for nesting for another decade. Next, the city intends to improve its signage to inform dog owners that their pets aren’t welcome in the heron rookery, south and west of Goodacre Lake. Saanich is also working on a plan for its own heron habitat at Cuthbert Holmes Park. The park has undergone an environmental review and mapped out sensitivity zones, including areas where herons nest, said Rae Roer, Saanich’s manager of parks. rholmen@vicnews.com

Drivers get reprieve Oak Bay police stopped two vehicles with no insurance last

weekend. They discovered the first during foot patrols at Willows Beach, noticing the uninsured vehicle in the parking lot. They found the owner on the beach with her husband and five-year-old daughter. The woman was offered a lift to renew

her insurance. The fine for not having insurance is $598. The second vehicle was stopped at a roadblock. The new driver was issued a ticket, a $109 fine, for failing to display an ‘N’. The vehicle was towed to the registered owner’s resi-

dence. The driver was given a verbal warning, also avoiding a fine.

Willows weedsmokers caught A pair stopped for a smoke in the car at the beach caught the attention of police on July 28. Oak Bay police officers on foot patrols along Willows Beach caught a strong odour of marijuana in the air. They traced the scent to the north end of the Esplanade where officers saw a man and woman in a parked vehicle. Police say the woman in the driver’s seat was just starting to smoke from a ceramic pipe. The pipe and about four grams of marijuana were seized. Police did not recommend charges.

Kayak cut loose from car port A thief cut the chain and swiped a kayak from a car port in the 500-block of Island Road. The kayak was secured with a lock. Both the lock and kayak were discovered missing July 28. The $3,000 kayak is a two person, 2009 Current Double Vision. About 10 feet long, it is white with sky blue trim.

Submarine torpedo test latest coup for Victoria Laura Lavin

Deactivated U.S. navy ship Concord sinks at the culmination of a firing exercise at the Pacific Missile Range, in Kauai County, Hawaii, on July 17.

News staff

HMCS Victoria sent a former U.S. navy ship to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean July 17 with a precisely aimed shot. 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 everything is working accurately – that it does what’s expected at the moment.”

Totally nervous teen gives himself away Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Sneaking out proved too much for one youth who looked a little suspicious to Oak Bay police officers early Sunday morning. Oak Bay cops spotted a “suspicious male” while on routine patrol around 1:30 a.m. He was dressed all in black, including a hoodie, and was walking in the 2300-block of Cadboro Bay Road. It turned out the 14-year-old was nervous and evasive after sneaking out of his family home. The parents were contacted and the youth was transported to his residence. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Roughly 1,400 Canadian sailors, soldiers, and airmen and airwomen are participating in RIMPAC 2012, an international military exercise 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. 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, a former Mars-class combat stores ship deactivated in 2009, 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

So the music is, for me, this really great marriage between what it is to be people and what it is to all come together as a community and to capture those energies.” The performance is viewable from throughout the Inner Harbour. The upper and lower causeways around the harbour are the most coveted spots, and among the best for those willing to come early and stake claim.

Fanfare, theatrics and serene reflection will all be a part of the 23rd annual Symphony Splash taking place Sunday, Aug. 5 from 1 to 10 p.m. in Victoria’s Inner Harbour. This year the Victoria Symphony is helping to celebrate the City of Victoria’s 150th anniversary with a pair of specially prepared pieces for the Splash. Composer Chan Ka Nin has prepared a piece of music titled Harmonious Interest. Through music and narration the work celebrates the history of the city, focusing on First Nations heritage, the city’s British roots, the Chinatown area and other aspects of the city’s identity. “Music has a way of very much representing our culture and very much presenting who we are,” music director Tania Miller said. “That’s what we tried to grab in the programming around this 150th anniver-

Setting up for Sooke’s fine art show News staff

Alan Graves is a master at converting an ice arena into an art gallery, the hardest part of setting up the Sooke Fine Arts Show. It takes dozens of volunteers and hundreds of hours to achieve the look and feel of a gallery. And it happens beautifully every year. Graves takes care of details: the large and fine points, from the layout of the panels for the exhibition’s modular system to the lighting, and hanging of the art work to the tiny tweaks to straighten a painting. For the past five years, Graves has been the designer for the Sooke Fine Arts Show. He sorts through hundreds of works of art, finding the perfect spot to display each and every one. Each year is a little different and Graves said this year they are consistently getting a number of art pieces that have the same esthetic. He felt the digital jurying process worked out very well and he was able to get a preliminary view of the work. With that look at the work to be displayed, he was quite surprised at the quality of the

They serve lunch, which is indicitive of the care of the people,” said Graves. “It’s fairly unique.” Graves has two other experienced people helping with the grand scheme of things.

A new Blues musical, Big Mama! The Willie Mae Thornton Story, stars Canadian jazz legend Jackie Richardson backed by an all-star band including Juno nominee Bill Johnson, Ron Casat and Andy Graffiti. Willie Mae Thornton began singing in her father’s Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., and by the age of 14 she was touring with the Hot Harlem Revue. In 1951, Thornton signed a recording contract with Peacock Records and subsequently recorded Hound Dog, the Leiber and Stollerpenned tune that was written for her and stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts for seven weeks. Three years later, the song would launch the career of Elvis Presley. Like Big Mama, Richardson got her start singing in church. A multi-faceted performer, Rich-

A digital window into the Olympics

NO DUCTS… NO PROBLEM

Edward Hill News staff

The question reads: What year was female wrestling introduced to the Olympic Games? I scratch my head and select “1984” on the iPad. I’m met with the red X of failure. Thankfully, an eight-year-old is nearby to correct me – the answer is 2004. It’s an electronic book written and designed for kids, but apparently adults have plenty to learn from a guide to the 2012 London Olympics. It was created by a Saanich husband-and-wife team who have crossed the threshold from magazine publishing to a digital-only book designed for the Apple iPad. The interactive, colourful and photo-heavy London 2012 Olympics: The Kids Only Guide allows kids (and adults) to explore Summer Olympic and Paralympic sports, the London venues, trivia and history of the Games using a medium that is becoming more popular and widespread each day. “With the Olympics coming, it seemed like a good fit. We had a good experience writing nonfiction for kids and it seemed like a fun project to do,” said David Garrison, who created the guide with wife, Shannon Hunt. “Since we weren’t going to London, (the book) was a way for us to get excited about getting involved,” Hunt said. Garrison designed the pages and hunted down photographs, while Hunt researched and wrote the e-book over the past few months. The project offered a welcome distraction from the sudden and

Until January, the duo had published kids’ science magazines Yes Mag and Know Mag, which had a combined 25,000 circulation, mostly in Canada. Yes Mag launched in 1996 and Know in 2006, and in 2009 Garrison and Hunt sold their Saanich-based publishing company to a Montreal firm, Mad Science Group. Both stayed on as employees. “The idea was to help us grow and expand. That didn’t happen,” Garrison said. “They decided to close the magazines. It came as a complete surprise.” The pair saw shifting to an e-book as an opportunity to learn a new publishing technology, while gauging the market for youth non-fiction e-books.

“Magazines are limited by their pages. This medium allows quizzes, interactive maps of the whole Olympic park,” Hunt said. “The topic lends itself to (the iPad). It’s fluid (with) lots of movement, which the Olympics is all about.” Daughter Casey, 11, and son Remy, 8, were key behind-thescenes players as a focus group and illustrators. Both appear in the book, notably Casey with champion triathlete Simon Whitfield – “fingers crossed for Simon,” Hunt noted. “We’re big Simon fans.” Search for London 2012 Olympics: The Kids Only Guide in the Apple Store through iTunes.

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

The best fit for safety glasses If you wear safety glasses at work, you should get the best possible fit to protect you from hazards as well as to insure that you see as sharply as possible. Your eye doctor will first give you a thorough vision examination, checking for sources of eye irritation and other vision related problems. He or she will also check your visual acuity, eye coordination, and muscle function. In recommending the beset safety glasses for your needs, your eye doctor will want to know the type of work you do. What level of eye protection is required for your particular occupation? Does your work require that you view object at far and near? Depending on your age you may need safety glasses that correct for vision both close up and in the distance. The position of the tasks you perform must also be considered. If your close up work is above eye level, for example, there are even glasses that have the bifocals on top so that you can work above your head with comfort. Ensure your safety glasses and all your eyewear are meeting your needs as well as possible. See your Optometrist for regular eye examinations.

Victoria filmmaker Jeremy Lutter scouts locations in Widgeon marsh in Maple Ridge for his upcoming shoot for his movie Floodplain. $30,000 in cash and in-kind services towards the production of the seven-to10-minute film. “Unfortunately, it was for movierelated services, not marine-related services,” Lutter said with a laugh. “I don’t know why on Earth I would choose to shoot a film based on a raft. Most people shoot protagonists and antagonists in a room, sitting down and talking at a dinner table.” The filmmakers are now faced with the challenge of fundraising for the cost of constructing the raft, as well as the additional costs associated with filming safely on the water. For this they set a fundraising goal of $3,500 on crowd-funding site indiegogo. com, where supporters can track the

progress of the film and receive perks, such as original storyboards, for donating to the creative campaign. Based on the success of Lutter’s last film, donors can expect their cash will be put to good use. Lutter raised $6,000 through the site last year for an animatronic robot for Joanna Makes a Friend. That film, story-edited by Hogg, won a viewers’ choice award at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year and went on to screen at the Cannes International Film Festival last May in France. The duo have made more than 20 films together. To contribute to the campaign, visit indie gogo.com/floodplain. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Love demands sacrifice. The central theme of local filmmakers Jeremy Lutter and Daniel Hogg’s latest film, Floodplain, could also be applied to the difficult process of shooting it. The coming-of-age tale follows Vic and Duncan – played by Kacey Rohl (The Killing, Sisters & Brothers, Red Riding Hood) and Cameron Bright (The Twilight Saga, X-Men 3, Thank You for Smoking), respectively – as the young couple fulfill their childhood promise to raft across a floodplain in Invermere, B.C. It’s a story that both director Lutter and writer-producer Hogg identify with, but it’s also one that requires a certain degree of sacrifice when it comes to filming almost entirely on an isolated marsh outside of Maple Ridge. “The nature of the project is inherently challenging with these actors out on the water. … We need boats and water safety people and locations that we’re looking at all have location fees attached,” said Hogg, who adapted the script from a short story by D.W. Wilson, a University of Victoria writing department grad and winner of the BBC National Short Story Award. “I also think it’s a beautiful story, a story that deserves to be told,” Hogg added. The folks at the National Screen Institute agreed. This spring Floodplain was awarded the national film and television training school’s drama prize, which includes ongoing mentoring and

Vees vet named Grizzlies captain Penticton product Zach Urban leads squad in new ownership era Kyle Wells News staff

Heâ€™s big, heâ€™s talented and heâ€™s the new captain of the Victoria Grizzlies. Defenceman Zach Urban, 19, stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 205 lbs. Heâ€™s coming from the Jr. A national champion Penticton Vees to join the Grizzlies as the teamâ€™s first Bill Bestwick-era captain. Through 58 regular season games and 15 postseason outings last season, Urban chalked up four goals and 18 assists, along with 88 penalty minutes. General manager and head coach Best-

wick said the team is moving forward and building up talent. He expects Urban to be a defensive stalwart on the team, along with a leader. â€œHe comes to us knowing what it takes to be a champion,â€? Bestwick said, â€œknowing what hard work and dedication and commitment is required to be successful at this level.â€? The Vees set league records for wins (54) and consecutive wins (42) last season. Urban, born in Alberta, has lived in Kelowna since he was 14 and is excited for the move to both Victoria and the Grizzlies squad. â€œIâ€™m just going to try to bring my best foot forward. Iâ€™m going to have to lead by example being captain,â€? Urban said. â€œIâ€™m really excited. I think we have a great group of kids coming in that I think, if we jell properly, weâ€™re going to have a really

The â€™Rocks wrapped up their season Sunday with a 14-10 win over the Timbermen, which locked the Shamrocks into second place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

Forward Brett Hartskamp is also becoming a Grizzly after being acquired from the Swan Valley Stampeders Hockey Club out of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Forward Turner Lawson, 19, has been acquired from the Vernon Vipers. Goaltender Brady Rouleau and forward Garrett Skrbich are also joining the team in a multi-player deal with the Westside Warriors. Training camp begins Aug. 20, with the teamâ€™s first exhibition game scheduled for Aug. 24 at home against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Timbermen shut down, â€™Rocks lock playoff spot The Victoria Shamrocks will face the Coquitlam Adanacs in the first round of playoffs on Saturday after ending the season with two definitive wins. The â€™Rocks clinched a playoff spot last Friday after defeating rivals the Nanaimo Timbermen 11-7 at home, in what was their biggest game of the season. The Shamrocks needed one win of their next two games to secure an entry into postseason play. Victoriaâ€™s big guns were too much to handle for the Timbermen, with Corey Small leading the way with five goals in the Victoria win. Jeff Shattler contrib-
