Encouraging self-propelled commuting Langford’s transportation network expands with more bicycle lanes Charla Huber News staff
When Langford Coun. Lillian Szpak arrived home on July 12, she felt like it was Christmas morning. The avid cyclist was floored that Treanor Avenue was freshly painted with bike lane signage. She knew the lanes were coming, but didn’t know when to expect them.
Szpak cycles everywhere, and it’s not uncommon to see her zipping to a meeting in a business suit and peddling with heels on. The bike lanes on Treanor Avenue aren’t just for people commuting in Langford – one of Szpak’s favourite routes is Treanor Avenue to the Phelps Trail which connects her to the Galloping Goose trestle. The magic of the route is “no highway,” Szpak said with excitement. “I am not a fast cyclist. From my door to the (Capital Regional District headquarters) or Victoria City Hall is about an hour,” Szpak added. “But when you factor in the traffic it’s the same as driving.”
Langford is currently creating a transportation network for its residents to promote alternative modes of getting around. Last year Langford added eight kilometres of new bike lanes throughout the city. “Anywhere there is a road wide enough to put a bike lane, we will,” said Coun. Lanny Seaton, adding the road needs to be busy enough to warrant one. All main roads in Langford, such as Goldstream, Jenkins and Jacklin avenues and Veterans Memorial Parkway, have bike lanes.

War of the words
Langford man’s disagreement with bylaw enforcement goes to court
Kyle Wells News staff
A
Langford resident has spray-painted a protest on his fence over what he says is unfair treatment by the city. Stephen Elsas, a self-employed truck driver, is being taken to court by the City of Langford over non-complying outbuildings and uninsured vehicles that were on his empty property at 2814 Sooke Rd., two things Langford bylaws do not allow. The buildings and vehicles have since been removed, but Elsas is still due in court on Aug. 17 and he says he could face up to $10,000 in fines. Elsas believes he is being treated unfairly, saying he did not receive enough notice about legal proceedings and is now facing unreasonable fines. “Langford Bylaw Enforcement is wasting your tax dollars hiring Vancouver lawyers to sue us for parking a big truck here,” reads the one half of the sign on his property. “Your tax dollars $ at work,” reads the other. Langford’s manager of Kyle Wells/News staff community safety and municipal Stephen Elsas stands next to his spray painted protest sign on his property on Sooke Road. He enforcement, Lorne Fletcher, feels the City of Langford is treating him unfairly by taking him to court over bylaw infractions. said this is a simple case of a homeowner refusing to comply with bylaws.

RCMP recovered a bag full of panties when they responded to a call about a drunk man near Witty’s Lagoon late last month. The male in his late 40s was discovered in the washrooms at Witty’s Lagoon on July 29 at 11 p.m. He was drunk and passed out, and found with a backpack full of about 20 pairs of women’s and girl’s underwear. The man was taken to the detachment to stay in a cell until he sobered up. When questioned about the undergarments, he said they were his, but RCMP do not believe his story. They say the panties appear to have been worn by women. “We want to know where the clothing came from and to know if any girls or women have underwear missing,” said Sgt. Max Fossum of West Shore RCMP. “We seized all the clothing.” The male has a criminal record for a sexual assault occurring more than 10 years ago. RCMP were alerted about the male after receiving a 911 call from a homeowner near Witty’s Lagoon who said the man was knocking at the door asking to come in because he was cold. No charges have been laid against the man, and it’s likely he will only be charged if women come forward identifying their stolen underwear. RCMP are asking anyone who has had any underwear stolen to call the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Unsecured firearms, prohibited ammo magazines seized from home Charla Huber News staff
West Shore RCMP’s street crime unit has seized several weapons and a large number of ammunition magazines from a home on William Head Road in Metchosin. Three adults – two males and a female – were under investigation when a search warrant for the home was executed, Aug. 2 in the afternoon. A man and a woman were in the home at the time. “It was a fast-moving investigation,” said Sgt. Max Fossum, with West Shore RCMP.
No arrests were made, but eight rifles, four handguns, three bullet-proof vests and more than 20 magazines were seized by the RCMP. All the firearms were owned by a male in his late 20s. The man is a member of the Canadian military, but since there have been no arrests or charges laid to date, the military would not supply a comment. The man’s name has not been released. “The weapons were unsecured and not properly stored,” Fossum said. “All firearms have to be properly secured.”

Unsecured firearms could fall into the hands of other criminals or children, Fossum said. “We, the police, are lucky we got to them first,” Fossum said, adding there were no prohibited firearms in the home. The magazines, however, are prohibited due to the number of rounds they store. Fossum could not say the exact number of rounds. The weapons were found in various rooms in the house in easily accessible locations including under beds, leaning against walls and in a travel bag. At least one of the handguns was loaded.

Eight-year-old Dalton Thomas and his grandfather Tom Moffat, both of Langford, each earned high marks at the Canadian horseshoe pitching championships last month in Saskatoon. Moffat came in third in the top men’s category, while his grandson took home first place in the peewee division.
Langford boy, 8, lands national horseshoe title Charla Huber News staff
It took a lot more than a ringer for Dalton Thomas, 8, to become the Canadian horseshoe champ. Thomas won the peewee division at the Canadian horseshoe pitching championships, July 11 to 14 in Saskatoon. He played 14 games and won 11 of them, earning him the national win. The Langford boy has been involved in the sport for two years and is learning the sport from his grandfather Tom Mof-
fat. The pair both travelled to this year’s nationals where Moffat secured a third-place win in the top men’s category. “My grandpa tells me to slow down,” said Thomas explaining the best advice he is given. In the game, every horseshoe to hit the post is called a ringer and earns the athlete three points; for every horseshoe within six inches of the post the player earns one point. On average Thomas holds a 10-per-cent ringer average, but during one game he brought his average up to 30 per cent.
He tosses horseshoes weighing two pounds, six ounces. Moffat has a 52-per-cent ringer average. Moffat has been involved in the sport for more than 10 years and enjoys travelling to competitions with his grandson. This year’s B.C. championships, in which they’ll compete, are being held at Glanford Park in Saanich during the Labour Day weekend. The two Langford residents are members of the Greater Victoria Horseshoe Club. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Metal drive to support Belmont footballers Brittany Lee News staff
The Belmont Bulldogs may not be made of steel, but to support the annual costs of equipment, renting a field and travel expenses for away games, the footballers are seeking donations of scrap metal. The junior and senior varsity teams are holding two scrap metal drives at Belmont secondary later this month and next. Two large Steel Pacific Recycling bins will be in the school’s parking lot on those days to collect your used barbecues, bathtubs, lawn mowers and air conditioners. Each time the Bulldogs have an away game, it costs about $25 per player just for the ferry, according to Elise Pastro, a football mom who oversees the Bulldogs’ fundraisers. Pastro estimates each away game costs the team at least $1,500. As well, gear and protection for each player costs about $1,000, she adds. “Football is an entirely different sport. ... It’s very costly,” she said.
Brittany Lee/News staff
Members of Belmont Bulldogs and their supporters display some of the scrap metal the football team is collecting to raise money for equipment, field rentals and travel expenses. The Bulldogs currently consist of 45 players from Belmont, Dunsmuir middle school, John Stubbs Memorial school and Spencer middle school. The idea for a scrap metal drive came from Pastro, who realized she had an old barbecue and lawn mower in her backyard that needed to be recycled. “You’ve got to get creative,” she says. “The boys don’t want to go door to door selling chocolate bars.” A fundraising car wash earlier in the summer started off the Bulldogs’ efforts by collecting $1,500. Whether practising on the field or taking part in fundrais-
ers, the boys work as a team, Pastro said. “Nothing comes easy, whether we’re talking about conditioning, whether we’re talking about playing, or getting to games,” she said. “When we bring a group of people together, that’s a team builder because you’re working towards a common goal.” The metal drives run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, and Sept. 1 in the student parking lot at Belmont (3067 Jacklin Rd). If you have scrap metal you can’t deliver to the school, contact Pastro at 250-510-1270, and ask about getting it picked up. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford Coun. Lillian Szpak says she hopes new bike lanes on Treanor Avenue will encourage more people to ride their bikes.
More bike lanes in city’s future Continued from Page A1
“Every time we put a new road in we put a bike lane in, too, if it’s a really busy road,” Seaton said. Another eight kilometres of bike lanes are currently out to tender. The bids are projected to be before council at the Aug. 20 council meeting. Some roads are easier than others to add the lanes to, said George Henshall, Langford’s public works operations co-ordinator. Treanor Avenue didn’t need additional work, other than painting the lines on the road. There is one small section of the road that wasn’t painted because it needs some curb work done before the lines can be added. Some roads require hydro poles and other items to be moved before bike lanes can be added, increasing the cost and difficulty of the project. “We want to connect everything together,” Henshall said. Langford city staff has been applying for grants and looking for groups to partner with to cover the costs of adding more bike lanes. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW
Athletes’ legacy with community I
t’s been a tough year for a few of Victoria’s highprofile athletes. After winning the Giro D’Italia and solidifying his place as Canada’s premier cyclist, Ryder Hesjedal crashed out of the Tour de France, and earned middleof-the pack outcomes in the Olympic road race and time trial, and no medals. Last Saturday, 22-year-old Paula Findlay showed true grit and fought through an injury-plagued year to finish the women’s triathlon in last place (with a time of 2:12:09; that’s still a blistering pace. Consider this: the female winner of the Victoria Subaru Olympic-distance triathlon came in at 2:28:07). Findlay’s performance and subsequent apology set off a firestorm of controversy after fellow triathlete Simon Whitfield came to her defence, and criticized Triathlon Canada and Findlay’s coach for giving her poor guidance in recovering from a hip injury. Then on Tuesday, Whitfield, the pride of Victoria as Canada’s Olympic flag bearer, crashed early in his race, ending his Olympic career in a way he, and the nation, never imagined. But world-class athletes such as Hesjedal, Findlay and Whitfield – not to mention medal winners men’s eight rowing, track cyclist Gillian Carleton and swimmer Ryan Cochrane – will continue to be local heroes, and will continue to exemplify the Olympic spirit. The legacy of our local athletes doesn’t hinge on medals, but how they give back to the community. Whitfield has raised thousands of dollars for KidSport Victoria and mentors up-and-coming competitive triathletes. Hesjedal’s success spurred the Tour de Victoria and the Ryder’s Cycling Society of Canada to promote cycling locally and across the country. Athletes such as Findlay and Carleton and rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee are mentoring the next generation of young women in their disciplines, and will continue to be superb athletes to be reckoned with on the world stage. Victoria is home, or the adopted home, of 32 athletes on this year’s Canadian Olympic team. With institutions such as Commonwealth Place, the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and the national team rowing facility at Elk Lake, these athletes will continue to train and inspire youth to stay fit and healthy, to push their limits and strive to be the best in the world. We can be proud of what our Olympians have achieved in London, but the Games come and go. The impact of local athletes will be felt in the Greater Victoria community for years to come.

It’s one thing for a businessman to come forward and state his stance on an issue – I may disagree with you, for reasons of equality or religion, but your views are your own. I wouldn’t boycott you for that. However, it’s another thing entirely to use your company’s profits to finance groups whose sole objective is to deny equal rights to a portion of the population that includes some of your employees and customers. That’s boycottworthy. I realistically don’t expect to change anyone’s stance on gay marriage with this column. Your views, like mine, are founded in each of our upbringings and our understandings of our social and political environments. But I, like many, should thank Cathy for coming out and publicly stating his position on such a divisive issue – even if it makes no sense for a businessman to wade into the discussion. At least there’s an awareness now of where money goes once it’s exchanged for Chick-fil-A Chick-nStrips; I wouldn’t want to knowingly have my money finance discriminatory ventures. Maybe more business owners should be as open. Kyle Slavin is a reporter with the Saanich News. kslavin@saanichnews.com

B.C.’s premier missed the mark on pipeline B.C.’s Christy Clark was right to dependency to a more efficient walk away from a national energy system based on conservation strategy promoted by Alberta’s and renewable energy. Alison Redford at a Canadians want provincial premiers’ and need an energy meeting in Halifax in strategy. late July.

But aboriginal people, and David Suzuki all the money in China, to create long-term with Ian Hanington Alberta, and Enbridge’s jobs and economic bank accounts won’t prosperity. be enough to undo the damage That calls for a better plan from a major leak near one of the than quickly digging up all our thousand waterways the dual bitumen and coal and selling it to pipeline would cross, or from a China and fracking the hell out of supertanker spill along the B.C. every piece of ground that might coast. have some gas in it. B.C.’s premier should have Oil, gas, and coal are valuable renounced the proposal because and finite resources. it’s focused more on tar sands, All represent energy from the pipelines, and markets than on sun that has been stored through getting Canada’s greenhouse photosynthesis and concentrated gas emissions under control over millions of years. by shifting from fossil fuel We waste a lot of it, especially
when we burn it in private automobiles that use only about 15 per cent of the energy to move the car. Because a car typically weighs 10 to 20 times more than its passengers, we’re only getting about one per cent efficiency from the fuel. Instead of wasting 99 per cent of this complex and useful non-renewable chemical mix, we could use more of it to make everything from bicycle tires and computer keyboards to heart valves and artificial limbs. And surely we can even find more efficient and less polluting ways to use it for fuel. A rational energy strategy – one that benefits Canadians more than multinational corporations and the repressive regime in China – would recognize the value of our limited resources not just for fuel and products but as a way to generate steady revenue to help us shift to renewable energy. What would such a strategy look like? It’s already too late to stop
global warming, but we can contribute to making it less severe. That means shifting away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Canada would have to reduce its emissions by 80 per cent from 1990 levels by 2050 to do its part to avoid dangerous warming over 2° C. Instead of doubling oil sands production, we need to reduce the energy we get from fossil fuels by more than 70 per cent. The target is possible if we transform our energy system over the next 40 years, according to the Trottier Energy Futures Project, a joint effort between the David Suzuki Foundation and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Renewable energy use would have to double. Energy production from nonhydro renewables such as wind, solar, and biomass would have to increase 150 times from today’s levels. We would also have to make our country 50 per cent more energy efficient.
This could be accomplished by building only net-zero buildings by 2050 and retrofitting existing buildings to the highest efficiency standards. It would take vision and commitment, including unlocking financing to enable energy efficient retrofits and renewable energy development, training workers to retrofit homes and install local renewable generation, building a flexible electricity grid, and converting refineries to biofuel production from biomass byproducts. Although the 2007 plan Redford and her fellow leaders hope to build on mentions renewable energy and climate change, it doesn’t offer the bold vision needed to realize the many benefits – and the necessity – of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. We need a broad and comprehensive strategy. Had Premier Clark embraced and articulated such a vision, she would have been seen as a real leader. Learn more at davidsuzuki.org.
LETTERS Olympic pageantry is over-the-top On the eve of my eighth decade, I am contemplating the spectacular performances and events at the current Olympic Games. Fleetingly, my thoughts return to Games of long ago, when all were amateurs (e.g. Chariots of Fire) and the great names included Owens, Zatopek, Nuurmi, Haag, etc. Champions all. Today our world is in a chaotic state. Desperate human needs are being thwarted by a lack of funds, we are told (let them eat cake). Coincidentally, extravagant and garish opening and closing Olympic ceremonies – likely for
commercial profit – belie this sickening refrain. Public liability is the likely cost (remember Montreal in 1976?). It reminds one of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. What has all this showmanship to do with athletic excellence and prowess? Certainly, all praise to the athletes, and huge congratulations to medal winners, but please, cut the cost of the carnivals. Has greed and crass commercialism become the raison d’être, even at Olympic Games? Spoil sport? No, create simple, sensible priorities. Stephen Lamb Victoria

High cost involved to keep, transport deer Re: Deer overpopulation I earned a living in game management before retirement, so it’s easy for me to form my own opinion on the problem. And before the many compassionate Walt Disney types get excited – long eyelashes and big ears are deadly – I would hate to be informed that the problem animals have been sent to another country on holiday. I’ve heard they want another $130 a month to keep the rabbits that were sent down there? Whilst the West Coast is certainly not the United Kingdom, I wonder how many readers know
Letters to the Editor that six species of deer roam the British Isles, leaving them withan exploding population in excess of two million? Or that, despite the culling of 350,000 a year, it continues to increase? Because of their secretive and nocturnal habits their numbers are difficult to assess. Please, good people of Victoria, if you’ve got money to spare, why not remember the cancer fund, or remember to donate first to things like our new cancer hospital. Are we going soft? Is there anybody in Sooke who would mind a few bunnies at $130 a month each? Stan Fisher Oak Bay

Von Hagen says her lengthy resumé of experience on stage has helped ease her mind from those first few shows in Victoria, Vancouver and Toronto. “I no longer have that fear that I’m going to die or it’s going to be a nightmare. I remember a time where I would be phoning in for spots and I would be upset if I
didn’t get a spot and I was horrified if I did, because I knew I would have to go do it,” she says. Stand-up comedy remains an “old boys’ club,” she says, though she doesn’t understand why that is. “There’s still a lot of people, men and women, who see a woman get on stage and get put off,” she says. “And periodically you hear, ‘there’s no funny women.’ That doesn’t make sense. You’ve never had a funny aunt or wife? Your girlfriend has never made you laugh? That, to me, seems insane.” For more information on Blue Bridge, visit bluebridgecomedyfestival.com. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Richard Wong is an artist, and no one is more surprised by it than the artist himself. Now 58, he picked up a paint brush for the first time in early 2011. “My partner Jackie (Swan) asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, ‘maybe a sketch pad.’ I don’t know why I even said that.” The water colour kit sat unopened for a while, then Wong registered for an art class at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre. “One of the first water colours I painted was a hut. Then when I painted behind it, I just touched the hut with the water and it disappeared. It was very frustrating. I almost quit,” he said. Instead, he signed up for Chinese brush lessons with Kileasa Wong, the foremost teacher of traditional Chinese painting in Victoria. At the end of his second session of classes the instructor told him his work was “good enough to sell.” “That just planted a seed in me,” he said. From there Wong, who has lived in Esquimalt for seven years, dove into the art world,

expanding his horizons with Western brush technique and showing his work at the Victoria Look Show. “I was very apprehensive about it,” said Wong. “I was not quite sure I was ready.” During the show he was approached by Greater Victoria Community Arts Council president Bob Williams, who asked him to join the board. “I’m like: ‘say what?’ Those things don’t happen to me.” Wong joined the board in May. He was resident artist at Abkhazi Gardens and artist in residence at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites in July where he taught an introduction to Chinese Brush

Painting workshop. “It was fun. It was over capacity with people who wanted to take the class. I was taken by surprise. I thought, I’ve just started to learn and here I am standing in front of a crowd,” he said with awe in his voice. After a 25-year career in the ministry of environment, Wong retired in 2009. Up until his unusual request for a sketch pad he “didn’t have an artistic bone” in his body, but now gets great pleasure from creating his fusion of eastern and western methods. “As long as I’m painting and I continue to be enjoying it and satisfied, I’ll keep going,” said Wong. The public can meet Wong and see him work at the Esquimalt Arts Festival on Aug. 12. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the English Inn and Resort, 429 Lampson St. Painters, photographers, musicians, carvers and other local artists will be displaying and demonstrating their art. There will be creation stations where families can participate in free art projects. Learn more about Wong at richardwong watercolors.ca. llavin@vicnews.com

n a unique turn of events, a married couple will cruise Vancouver Island as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Const. Dorothy Junio, the Oak Bay police school resource officer, will tackle the Tour de Rock alongside husband Const. Jett Junio of Saanich police. They are the first married couple “You only get to to take part in the do it once and do it Canadian Cancer together …” Society fundraiser. “You only get to do – Const. Dorothy Junio it once and to do it together …,” Dorothy began. “It’s a unique opportunity for sure,” Jett finished. “We have the luxury of debriefing everything we do from work to riding because we’re on the same page.” They also share in fundraising responsibilities and aside from police work, in a local business as well. Jett returns to the Saanich police ranks in January after an 18-month leave to run Riders Cycles, a bicycle business on Cloverdale Avenue that the couple purchased a year ago. The Junios came to Victoria four years ago after long careers with the Edmonton Police Service. Cops for Cancer fundraisers were
TO LOVE, HONOUR AND …
CYCLE FOR KIDS rooted in Edmonton. The Island-wide ride, Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, developed from those events in the mid-1990s. “We knew the event (in Edmonton) was raising funds for kids with cancer, but the magnitude didn’t hit us until we got here,” Jett said. “The fever we didn’t feel until we got to the Island,” Dorothy added. “The whole Island embracing it is amazing.” With their kids, Adam and Ethan hitting 16 and 17 this year, they felt an opportunity to make a commitment to the cause. Plus it’s a year of milestones for the pair; both turned 50, celebrated 25 years of policing and it’s the 15th year of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Then there’s the illness itself. Dorothy’s mom developed cancer (she’s faring well right now), and suddenly they saw it throughout their peers. “It became a big deal,” Dorothy said. The biggest hurdles won’t be the kilometres-long hills or rainy days spent on a bike. “It’s going to be the emotions,” Dorothy said. “You sometimes have to battle that along with the physical.” As for the highs, just participating and seeing people dig deep to give is already providing those. “The ride itself is secondary,” Jett said. “It’s a vehicle to reach out to people for a greater cause: the kids.”
Christine van Reeuwyk/Black Press
Police officers Dorothy and Jett Junio, owners of Riders Cycles in Saanich, will be the first married couple to take on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock ride this fall.

Kat Gosselin of the midget lacrosse Team B.C. celebrates winning the national championship at Bear Mountain Arena on Aug. 2.
It took the entire junior B provincial lacrosse tournament, but the Saanich Tigers got their win and a bronze medal. The Kamloops Venom won gold, beating the Delta Islanders 6-3 on Sunday afternoon. Earlier on Sunday, the Tigers

enjoyed its only win of the fourgame, four-team tournament held at Bear Mountain Arena, with a 7-3 defeat of host Westshore Bears. The Bears earned a bye into the tourney as the host, the Venom and Islanders as the respective champs of the Thompson Okanagan and West Coast junior leagues. By winning, Kamloops qualified for the Founders Cup national championship held in Six Nations, Ont. next week, Aug. 14 to 19. Nolan Ryan, Sam Chiasson and Kelly Schiarizza each scored once in the final for the Bears but a pair of empty-netters by Ethan Gar-
land won it for the Tigers. The Bears named Tristan Calve their MVP for his hustle.
B.C. doubles at nats Thirteen-year-old Elle Hamilton of Langford was the only player on home soil as Team B.C. won the girls bantam lacrosse nationals at Bear Mountain Arena, July 29 to Aug. 3. B.C. defeated Ontario 4-3 in the gold medal final. In the midget division, hometown girls Kat Gosselin, 16, of Colwood and Talia Mavin, 15, of Langford, spurred Team B.C. to a 4-2 win over Ontario in that final.
Silver for intermediates The intermediate A (17- and 18-year-olds) Victoria Shamrocks nearly won its second B.C. championship in three years while the Juan de Fuca Whalers nearly won their fourth straight Int. B title as both made the provincial gold medal finals in Burnaby on Monday. Both came up short, however, with the New Westminster Salmonbellies edging the Shamrocks 12-9, and the Port Moody Thunder beating the Whalers 10-8. sports@vicnews.com

United youth win soccer’s Challenge Cup United under-21 men win trophy Travis Paterson News staff
Sixteen-year-old Michael Baart’s mid-season arrival proved to be the final piece of the puzzle for the Victoria United under-21 soccer team. Baart, a St. Michaels University School student, scored twice in the final on Sunday to push United past host Chilliwack FC in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Challenge Cup final, 3-1.
“Baart only played 20 minutes, coming on at half, then coming off again because he was feeling quite queezy out there,” said United coach Drew Brittain. United finished second in the league standings behind Kamloops. But in the semifinal on Friday, Kamloops fell prey to host Chilliwack, the fourth-place team, which took advantage of playing at home. The most dramatic moment of the weekend was captain Jared

Atchison’s game-winning goal in the final minute, as United squeaked past West Vancouver 3-2. “It was (Atchison’s) only goal of the entire season, unbelievable,” Brittain said. Nils Webber scored the first goal of the final before Baart scored his two. United goalie Ryan Hulstein was named MVP of the final.
