Provincial candidates discuss fracking, fish farms Kyle Wells News staff
In what proved to be a polite and relatively lifeless open forum last Thursday, the four Oak Bay-Gordon Head candidates tackled questions from the audience on topics ranging from affordable housing for seniors to fish farms and fracking. Oak Bay United Church was nearly full for the allcandidates meeting. Even moderator, former Oak Bay mayor Christopher Causton, gleefully declared a minor disagreement late in the event (over a mistake, as it turned out) as the first real passionate moment of the night. “That’s more like it. After two hours we finally have a disagreement,” Causton said, in good humour. Jessica Van der Veen, wearing NDP orange, drew the most applause during the course of the debate, but green party candidate Andrew Weaver enjoyed his fair share, particularly while speaking to the environment and representation in legislature.

Eco wave hits Oak Bay Eco Week supports environmentally friendly business with fun events Kyle Wells News staff
From April 29 to May 4, Oak Bay residents will learn how to pick up bling, strut their stuff and help make their neighbours green, all in the name of the environment. Oak Bay Eco Week all started with an idea for a fashion show, the brainchild of A La Mode owner Alexa Lindroos, who wanted the event to tie into an “eco” theme. She approached the Monterey Recreation Centre, which joined her
in going to the Business Improvement Association, Oak Bay council, the Community Initiative Committee and others to get involved. All of the agencies jumped right on board, said Lindroos. By the time the enthusiasm had calmed and the dust had settled, one event had transformed into an entire week of activities. “It’s been really, really positive,” said Lindroos. “It’s been a real collaboration. “I would just really like to put Oak Bay businesses on the map as being green and supporting a healthier environment.” The idea is to promote businesses taking on environmentally friendly initiatives and customers supporting those initiatives through their shopping choices.

Oak Bay legend gone but not forgotten Oak Bay Marine Group founder Bob Wright dies Laura Lavin News staff
Courtesy Oak Bay Marine Group
Both an art lover and avid collector, Bob Wright had an affinity for the portrait above that depicts him ready for the sea. (Left) the man himself outside his office at the Oak Bay Marina. Black Press file
A larger-than-life Oak Bay resident has died. Oak Bay Marine Group founder Bob Wright died in Victoria April 17 at age 82 after a brief hospital stay. Raised in Edmonton, Wright began his working life in the newspaper industry there at the Edmonton Bulletin. The self-proclaimed gumboot fisherman was soon lured to Victoria by the promise of great hunting and fishing. It was his love of the outdoors and fishing that led him to start a fishing charter business, now the Oak Bay Marine Group of Companies which includes 25 businesses in Victoria, the U.S. and Bahamas. “Bob will be missed,” said long time friend Gordon Denford. “He was one of the people that brought Victoria forward into a nice city. He realized early on that tourism – apart from government – was the only way to sustain Victoria.” Wright was one of the first commissioners for Canada on the Pacific Salmon Treaty; he earned the gold trophy marketing award from Industry, Science and Technology Canada for business excellence; the B.C. Ambassador for Tourism award and the Leadership
award from the B.C. Marine Trades Association, among numerous others. In 2011 he was inducted into the Canadian Tourism Hall of Fame. “He is well-known throughout the country and the U.S.,” said Denford. “Every business he was in offered the best and people came to it.” Being a successful businessman was not enough for Wright, whose commitment to the community and the environment extended into an $11 million donation to UVic for scientific research on climate change and the creation of the Bob Wright Centre for Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Denford said Wright “could be a hard-nosed guy” but also had a soft side. “He’d go on a mosey on a Saturday afternoon. … He’d pick up his pal Len Gibbs (renowned Canadian artist, Gibbs died in 2010) from his home on Dallas Road and he’d park in the Broughton Street parkade and spend the afternoon moseying through the art shops, then stop and have tapas in Trounce Alley – and the odd time I’d be invited along. “It was wonderful to have known him and to get together once in a while,” said Denford. Wright leaves behind his wife, Yun, three children, Ronald, Randy and Robin and six grandchildren. Details for a celebration of life have not yet been released. PLEASE SEE: Our View, Page A8
FACEBOOK COMMENTS Laura Grootveld May his next journey be as remarkable and fulfilling as this one was for him! Gone fishing … David Malysheff My thoughts are with all of people whose lives Bob touched, and that is a long list. Valerie Endicott What a great man who had the best job in the world. How deeply grateful I am for his vision and passion for those of us who love to fish. May warm memories envelop those who loved him. Annette Southall My memory of Bob, fishing at Langara, my fish was 49 3/4 pounds, Bob picked up the hose, stuffed it in the fish and said “Give the Lady her hat.” We’ve been fishing with Oak Bay since 1990, had the pleasure of visiting the Cape 7 times. … Thanks for the Memories! Connor Sarsfield One of the best memories I have of Bob was him at Langara on the Charlotte Princess. Truly in his element. My thoughts go out to Yun and the Wright family.

“This is our opportunity to get the word out,” added Lesley Cobus, Monterey Recreation Centre co-ordinator. “This is how you keep it top of mind, doing initiatives like this. There’s new ideas coming in all the time, so really it’s an inspiration just to keep people engaged with the whole concept.” The fashion show, scheduled for Friday, May 3 at 7 p.m., is still the flagship event of the week. The show features secondhand fashions from A La Mode, vegan handbags from Montreal’s Matt & Nat and jewelry from local artists, all modelled by local women of all ages. “There’s a criteria for being eco-friendly, and that’s fair trade, secondhand, recycled,

Dedicated to celebrating excellence among its member newspapers, the accolades recognize all aspects of the newspaper industry, including production, publishing, reporting, editing, advertising, photography, website design and community contribution. “It’s no surprise our papers did so well this year,” said editorial director Kevin Laird. “Our staff puts in a tremendous amount of effort into the entire product.

Oak Bay-Gordon Head candidates Ida Chong, left, Greg Kazakoff, Andrew Weaver and Jessica Van der Veen stuck to party lines during one of the first all-candidates debates held on April 18.
WHY WAIT?WE WECAN CANHELP HELP NOW! NOW! WHY WAIT? Happiness is Happiness is aa beautiful smile! beautiful smile!
Continued from Page A1
“Once you elect somebody from one of the two traditional parties here, they lose their voice because they can no longer vote against a party decision,” Weaver said. “This is one of the reasons that I’m running.” MLA Ida Chong and her Liberal party were on the receiving end of some pointed questions, but she didn’t let the jabs phase her and earned some applause of her own by the night’s end. “I do believe that we’re at a crossroads,” said Chong in her opening remarks. “Things have changed dramatically. … We need to have a longterm plan and a longterm vision.” The candidates stuck to their party lines throughout the evening. Conservative Greg Kazakoff stuck to his guns about keeping government small and being fiscally responsible, while Chong championed her track record and experience with politics. Weaver spoke quickly and with confidence on issues related to the environment. Van
der Veen touted her party’s platform – the portion that had been released by the time of the debate – and spoke confidently of a new approach for B.C. politics with the NDP at the helm. “We’ll say what we’ll do and then we’ll do what we say,” Van der Veen said. “If I earn your trust, I will be a strong voice in the new B.C. NDP government in British Columbia and I will stand up for our community.” Fracking proved to be a divisive issue, with Kazakoff stating from his experience in the oil and gas industry that fracking going on in B.C. is perfectly safe and a “red herring” issue. “B.C. fracking is not an issue,” Kazakoff said. “Various political parties (blame) the oil and gas industry, which I think is counterproductive to the economic wealth and gain of B.C.” Weaver disagreed. “The B.C. Green party is calling for a moratorium on fracking before we study it,” Weaver said. “We don’t know what it’s doing to our groundwater, and to continue exhibiting a gold
rush mentality is irresponsible, for not only the present generation but future generations.” One audience member asked Chong to give an example of a time when she disagreed with her party’s policies and how she raised her concerns. Chong said she has disagreed, has voiced her disagreement, but isn’t able to give specific examples for reasons of party solidarity. “We don’t get to come out and explain that disagreement,but there have been many occasions where I did. I was able to stop a few of those changes.” reporter@vicnews.com
Quit clowning around n The only disruption of the evening came from two people dressed up as clowns, who at one point interrupted Van der Veen to walk through the church with signs speaking out against child poverty. The clowns also passed out literature after the event.

OUR VIEW
Wright’s passion is his legacy The passing of a local businessman is not the usual fodder for editorials, but Bob Wright was not just any local businessman. Wright was the stuff of legends. A big man with big dreams, he built his multi-million dollar dynasty from humble beginnings, and he did it all from his home base in Oak Bay. Wright was a man moved by passion. His love for fishing and the outdoors brought him to Victoria and he translated that love into a fishing business that bloomed into a marina that blossomed into fishing resorts, restaurants, tourist attractions and a vacation resort in the Bahamas. Over the course of his career, Wright built an empire that took people out of their everyday existence and brought them closer to nature. It was not without missteps though. Even after his death Wright is being criticized for his takeover of the Pedder Bay manufactured home park to create an RV resort and for removing orcas from the wild to populate Sealand of the Pacific, an aquarium that operated in Oak Bay for 11 years, until the death of Kelti Byrne, 20, a UVic marine biology student who fell into the whale pool and was dragged and submerged by the orcas until she drowned. Talking about that event, even 20 years later, brought tears to Wright’s eyes. One of Wright’s biggest assets was his giving nature, his willingness to lend a helping hand and the way he made time to talk to anyone who dropped by his office at the marina. His love of nature and conservation – which was also his motivation to capture whales, thought of as predators at the time – was what moved him to make an $11 million donation to UVic for scientific research on climate change and led to the creation of the Bob Wright Centre for Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The gift will go well beyond the boundaries of Greater Victoria and the university and will make a difference to the future of our oceans and potentially the planet as a whole.

B.C. Liberals are running scared on that when it was announced, The B.C. Liberal Party deserves and the platform doesn’t shed credit for releasing its policy book any new light. All we have is a big in full on the eve of the formal logo on the side of Clark’s election campaign. campaign bus declaring That’s about the only “DEBT FREE B.C.” positive thing to be said As I’ve written before, about it. there is plenty of real For those who take the evidence of a huge new time to read party leader LNG industry in the Christy Clark’s 40-page making. As for paying booklet, there are a few off the $60 billion debt nuggets of news. For that the B.C. Liberals’ instance, a re-elected pre-election budget B.C. Liberal government predicts will keep growing, would continue its Tom Fletcher cartoonist Adrian Raeside justice reform agenda B.C. Views summed it up best: LNG by moving traffic revenues are “Christy ticket disputes out Clark’s invisible friend.” of courtrooms, as they did with Clark finished up last week with impaired driving cases. stops in Terrace and Prince Rupert, Most of it consists of glowing promising an LNG windfall for local descriptions of the government’s governments as well. She repeated 12-year record, and attacks on the platform’s attack line that the the NDP of the kind that are not NDP are going to wreck the trillionnormally seen in a platform. This is dollar LNG boom with a Quebecconsistent with Clark’s style since style moratorium on “fracking” she was anointed party leader two to extract gas from deep shale years ago. formations. The main focus, as revealed That’s not an outright lie, but it’s in February’s throne speech, is almost as speculative as Clark’s a plan to pay off B.C.’s growing notions of a 30-year windfall that debt and perhaps even get rid of could at best barely start during the provincial sales tax with an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” from the next four-year term. The NDP are not calling for liquefied natural gas exports. a moratorium on natural gas Whether this is from imposing a production. They’re calling for new export tax on LNG or simply yet another “review,” one of many from a windfall of gas royalties is vague, wobbly positions that have not clear.

dominant parties. An earlier premier named Glen Clark became famous for “freezing” things like ferry fares and car insurance rates. Now Christy Clark is “freezing” personal income tax rates for five years, and carbon tax rates too. That implies she’s planning to win this election and the next one, at a time when it is unclear whether she can even hold her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. The B.C. Liberals will cut small business taxes by a point, some time in the next five years. They will also increase income tax on large businesses and personal income of more than $150,000, but that’s not mentioned in their platform, since it goes against 12 years of their policy as a government. • A clarification of last week’s column on the B.C. Conservative platform. Leader John Cummins informs me his plan to phase out the carbon tax does not include reversing the personal and business income tax rate reductions that were legislated as the fuel tax reached its current level. The platform asserts that total provincial revenues will continue to rise in the next four years, despite the uncompensated loss of $1 billion from the carbon tax.

OPINION
Value-added product marketing an old ploy Value added products and marketing get talked about a lot in B.C., but it we never seem to be able to pull it off here in a big way for some reason. Gas and crude oil get shipped out of the country for processing, while cargo ship decks are stacked with entire forests for milling overseas. The jobs of refining Chris Bush resources lie offshore Guest Comment while governments and labour organizations appear powerless to do anything about it. Oh sure, we glue wood scraps together to make floor joists and roof trusses and smelt junked electronic circuit boards for their metals. I think we even recycle paper products into toilet tissue here too. But whether you call it recycling or down cycling, is any of it leading toward some kind
of value-added, job rich, economic Nirvana? What surprises me is how some companies, big and small, have capitalized on marketing and manufacturing spin-off opportunities from basic concepts. Take M&M candies for instance. Anyone who was born in the 1950s remembers the TV ads in the early ’60s. The ad tagline went something like “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand,” and a woman would open her white-gloved hand – in those days women often still wore gloves when they dressed up – to reveal a glove unstained by the two or three M&M’s she’d been holding. Why make chocolate that doesn’t melt? A lot of U.S. troops were fighting in hot climates during the Second World War and needed an energy snack they could carry with them. A side benefit of chocolate with a high melting point is riflemen wouldn’t get sticky trigger fingers from the candy. Forest Mars, of the Mars Company, got the idea when he saw soldiers eating chocolate

pellets with a hard shell during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. He developed a process for making M&M’s, but he needed Bruce Murrie of Hershey’s Chocolate – who got a 20 per cent share of the product – which had control of chocolate that was rationed in the U.S. in 1941 when the candy was developed. So Mars and Murrie made a lot of money. Want to see what M&M’s have become? Check out M&M World online. The company has M&M stores in cities across the U.S. The store in Las Vegas, Nev., is four storeys of nothing, but M&M’s products including clothing and accessories, games, home and office items. Talk about value added. Down the road a ways one business capitalized on Americans’ love for Vegas weddings and guns. Shotgun Weddings by the Gun Store offers a, ahem, “range” of matrimonial wedding packages that include firing machine guns and other weapons to get couples started on their lives together with a real bang, so to speak.
Pot is not an election issue Why do some people want to have marijuana legalized so badly? A newscaster suggested recently that the candidates running in the B.C. election should make it an election promise. Why? It is plain to see, smoking pot is not only bad for your lungs, but will change your brain forever. Taxpayers are paying to help addicts now. Does it not click in that drugs cause depression and affects your heart and lungs? Any politician that thinks legalizing marijuana will be good for his career is living in la la land. Drugs, and marijuana is a drug, creates bullies, killers, and turns nice folks into rotters. We don’t need this kind of election promise. Eileen Nattrass Saanichton
Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself at shotgunweddings.com. Speaking of ambush marketing, I’ll admit I’m no marketing genius, but I recognize good opportunities after brighter minds have spotted them. And if I can’t capitalize on them, I can at least enjoy watching the multi-million dollar corporate spats that often result, like the ones that erupted between Kodak and Fujifilm, Nike and Reebok and Visa and American Express at world Olympics over the past three decades. I’m confident they will continue to entertain almost as satisfyingly as the sporting competition itself at future Olympics. But I really appreciate the simple, direct approach when it comes to ensuring business success. My all time favourite example of the old adage, location, location, location was in Seaside, Ore., where in 1995 I came across a taxidermy shop that had opened up right next door to a veterinary clinic.

THE ARTS Victoria is feeling the blues HOT TICKET Cowboy Junkies
Ben Gawletz News intern
If the blues is your genre of music then the Upper Deck Sports Lounge is the place to be on the weekends, as it hosts a variety of talent just waiting to entertain. Walking into the lounge, the first sight to see is the small stage next to the entrance, occupied by the Deb Rhymer Band. It’s hard to fathom how such a small space can hold such a big sound. The next thing you’ll notice is dozens of people already there, covered in smiles and bursting with conversation, or on the dance floor jamming with the band. It seems that no one is a stranger when they come to the lounge. Deb Rhymer, the lead singer of the band, is also the director of the Victoria Blues Society. Her band hosts the Sunday Blues Jam at the lounge where blues players from around the community can come and pick up instruments and jam with people they may

Juke joints were created in the South by African Americans to play blues music where everyone could dance and have a place to enjoy music and became the

helping to create the event. “We want intimate, dancing and great music,” she adds. There are at least 15 blues bands in “We want Victoria and others up intimate, Island that dancing and Rhymer hopes to recruit for great music.” the Juke Joint. - Deb Rhymer The blues seem very popular within Victoria, and events are always busy, she says.

Multi-award winning Kiran Ahluwalia returns to Victoria at the Alix Goolden Hall April 27.
Show assists Child Haven Expressing her muse through ghazals and Punjabi folk songs, Kiran Ahluwalia explores the language of the heart with beautiful artistry and smoldering intensity. Born in India, raised in Canada, and now living in New York city, her enchanting and seductive music has garnered glowing praise from critics around the world. Renowned vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia will be back in Victoria on Saturday April 27, performing at Alix Goolden Hall at 8 p.m. It’s been two years since Ahluwalia last captivated Victoria with her enchanting voice and beautiful music, and in that time her music continues to evolve beyond the Indian genre to embrace influences from around the world. On her latest album Aam Zameen: Common Ground, Ahluwalia takes her penchant for fusing styles to a whole new level, by bringing to fruition her love for African Tuareg rhythms.

Earth Month…Act for the planet! FortisBC supports the environment in operations and services offered By Tom Loski
Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity last year.
Earth Day is celebrated annually April 22 with events held across the globe to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. FortisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environmentally responsible way to all of the communities we serve. We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we provide to our customers. One simple way customers can help the environment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests. When customers go paperless, their bill is delivered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural gas bill. Another simple way customers can
look at reducing their carbon footprint is through rebates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs. . Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both finan-
cial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs helped residential, commercial and industrial customers save more than 360,000 gigajoules of natural gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes in one year. Renewable natural gas is a B.C.made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce
renewable natural gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giving our customers a renewable energy source. For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, customers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renewable. We’ll then inject an equivalent amount into our system. To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program. Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet future needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paperless billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas furnace — you’re supporting the environment. Tom Loski is the vice president of customer service at FortisBC.

Green living is a year-round initiative in the Capital Region
BARTLETT. DISCOVER WHY WE’RE CALLED TREE EXPERTS.

Coach at heart of hoops community Dani Sinclair affirmed as Vikes head coach
but as someone who has been teaching the fundamentals of the game to girls in Victoria from as young as nine years old through night leagues and the more recently established Junior Vikes. “I’ve always loved coaching, any ages. When I graduated (UVic) 10 years ago I wanted to start with coaching regional teams and youth development programs. I really enjoy working with those age groups, just working on the fundamentals and passion for the game,” Sinclair said. She is also the head coach of Basketball B.C.’s Vancouver Island Training Centre and B.C.’s under-15 girls provincial team. It makes the recruiting process of local and regional talent that much easier. That includes current Vikes Jessica Renfrew and Shaylyn Crisp, who came from Claremont secondary who start their third year at UVic in September. Sinclair first coached them as pre-teens and right now they’re the only locals on the roster. “(Sinclair) is a strong leader and a role model for these young women,” said Tracie Sibbald of the hiring committee that selected Sinclair. “She has great experience coaching at the CIS level and brings a good energy to the team.”
Travis Paterson News staff
To the surprise of no one, Dani Sinclair was introduced as the new head coach of the University of Victoria Vikes women’s basketball team last week. A former Vikes player and national CIS champion from the Kathy Shields era, Sinclair has been with the team as an assistant coach since 2006. When previous head coach Rich Chambers took a personal leave prior to the start of the season, Sinclair stepped up and guided the Vikes to a 16-6. She did so while carrying, and then giving birth to her second son, Joseph, on Dec. 12. Due to the timing of the Christmas break, Sinclair, often with Joseph in tow, only missed one practice. The Vikes were ousted in the playoffs before reaching the Canada West Final Four. But it was a solid enough season to confirm what many knew – that Sinclair is deeply rooted in Victoria and is qualified to lead the Vikes. “I’ve found the only way to get everything done is by multitasking,” Sinclair said by phone while pushing Joseph and older brother James in a double-stroller during her jog to the gym for her Monday morning workout. “James spent a lot of time on the road with the team. Now it’s Joseph’s turn.” Sinclair threw her name in for the head coaching position when Brian Cheng stepped down over two years ago, but wasn’t disappointed that she wasn’t selected. Chambers officially resigned on March 5

Coach Dani Sinclair addresses the Vikes during a game at UVic’s McKinnon Gym this year. Sinclair’s eighth season with the club will be as head coach. and the Vikes removed the interim title from Sinclair’s head coaching position on April 18. Union rules state all positions must be opened to the public, but naming another coach at this point would have likely driven a wedge into a smooth running program. “Having a couple extra years made a big difference,” Sinclair said. “I think I would have done a great job if I was hired last time around, but feel I much more prepared this
time, especially with the mentorship from Chambers and (Kathy) Shields.” Originally from Guelph, Ont., Sinclair has become deeply embedded in Victoria’s youth basketball scene since winning the CIS championship with the Vikes in 2003. That was the last time the Vikes hoisted the Bronze Baby. If and when the Vikes win it again, it will be a team marked with Sinclair’s imprint, not just as the Vikes coach,
Vikes offseason moves Sinclair is considering a couple of recruits but next year’s roster is already at its limit with just two players graduating. Previously committed athlete Mikaela Turik from Australia will join the team for the 2013-14 season. Turik’s schooling didn’t finish until November. Former Vike Sarah Semeniuk will return after playing the previous three seasons. Semeniuk, a 6-foot-2 post, took this season off to rehabilitate her injured knee. sports@vicnews.com
CW steal playoff spot James Bay win rugby’s Barnard Cup Island championship Travis Paterson News staff
Meraloma rugby club had something the Castaway Wanderers wanted on Saturday. And the Castaway Wanderers took it. CW’s 26-10 defeat of the Lomas put the historic Oak Bay club into the CDI Premier Rugby semifinals and punted the Lomas out of the playoff picture. CW (7-6-1) will now face Burnaby Lake (10-4) in a semifinal playoff matchup in Burnaby on May 4. James Bay Athletic Association (10-4) will face reigning champs Capilano (10-4) in the other semi. CW deftly scored four tries for the playoff-clinching bonus point as powerful centre and national team prospect Mike Fuailefau crossed the line twice. Forwards Clayton Thornber and Dylan Jones also scored for CW, which led the game 12-3 at the half.
CW’s Ciaran Hearn, a 2011 Rugby World Cup veteran, converted three of the four tries. It’s CW’s fourth win in a row. The culmination of a big turn around from facing relegation at the season’s midpoint. “When we’re at full strength we have a pretty capable team, and we were at full strength,” said CW coach Ian Hyde-Lay. “We’ve had such a season of chopping and changing the lineup, with absent national players and injuries, but we’ve had some consistency in the roster the last month.” There’s little disparity in the remaining four teams, he added. “Burnaby are still the favourites but otherwise there’s not much difference.” Meanwhile James Bay lifted the 2012-13 Barnard Cup trophy as Island champions, thumping the much less experienced UVic Vikes 54-25 team at home on MacDonad Park.
The Bays and Caps meet in a rematch of last year’s final, May 4 at MacDonald Park. This year’s Rounsefell Cup provincial final will be played on the Island if James Bay and/or CW can get into the final. “It’s a little bit of revenge,” said Bays’ veteran Morgan Williams. “Hopefully we can come away with this win. Having the final here on the Island would be awesome for everyone here.” Both CW and James Bay will be without national 7s players for the May 4 semifinals. Ciaran Hearn and Nanyak Dala from CW and Tyler Ardron, John Moonlight and Thyssen de Goede of the Bays will be at the Scotland IRB World Series Sevens tourney. In the Adidas Women’s Premiership the Velox Valkyries defeated the UVic Vikes 42-12 on Saturday. Velox hosts SFU in the Adidas semifinal, this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. sports@vicnews.com

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Do you suffer from Allergic Eyes Do you abhor the idea of Victoria’s annual flower count? Many Canadians are looking forward to the end of winter, but others may dread the spring for one red, itchy, watery reason: ocular allergies! Spring is often the beginning of the eye allergy cycle, when nature turns up the volume and tree pollen hangs heavily in the air. Some people suffer from eye allergies year-round, caused by a host of other culprits, including grass pollen, ragweed, and a variety of food, pet and chemical irritants. Allergic reactions are triggered by the body’s immune system in its best effort to protect your eyes from injury. Your immune system can’t tell the difference between harmless substances (like pollens) and harmful intruders (like bacteria), so it overreacts by producing allergy symptoms. These annoying symptoms, including swelling, hives, itching, watering, burning and light sensitivity, can even result in tissue damage or impaired vision. What’s a poor sufferer to do? Try to pinpoint the causes of your allergies and avoid them as much as possible. You can further reduce airborne irritants by using an air conditioner, keeping your environment free of dust, and regulating humidity to keep mites and mold to a minimum. Decongestants, antihistamines and other medicines may also be helpful. Be sure to discuss any eye-related symptoms with your optometrist at your next visit – he or she is one of your best sources of eye health information.

Vic soccer clubs coming short in provincial draws Travis Paterson News staff
There will be no home team when the A Cup provincial men’s soccer final is played at Royal Athletic Park on May 4. Bays United, the 2012-13 Vancouver Island Soccer League champions and Jackson Cup winners, dropped its provincial playoff game 5-2 to West Vancouver on Saturday. The game was tied 1-1 until a penalty kick put West Van up 2-1. A late flurry of goals ended in West Vancouver’s favour. The VISL can still be represented in the final, however, as Cowichan FC moved on with a 2-1 win over Langley. Cowichan hosts a semifinal match on May 4. The situation was much better in the women’s A Cup draw as the Castaways defeated Rich-

mond 1-0 and Prospect Lake defeated Coquitlam 2-1. Both clubs move on to semifinals. Castaways will visit powerhouse Surrey United, which eliminated the Vic A’s 8-1. Prospect Lake will host North Shore. In women’s B Cup (Div. 2) play Vic West and Prospect Lake were eliminated. Gorge FC won 6-5 in penalty kicks over North Shore. That game ended 0-0 through regulation and 1-1 through extra time. Gorge will host the Magnuson Mariners (Abbotsford) in the B Cup semifinal at Hampton on May 5. In men’s B Cup (Div. 2) play, Prospect Lake lost 3-2 to the mainland’s Dynamos at Layritz. Down 2-0, Prospect came back to tie it 2-2, but couldn’t get the go-ahead goal and surrendered the winner with 10 minutes to go.

Comox (VISL) won its match 4-0 and will move on to the semifinals. Victoria’s chances looked promising in the under-21 provincial draw with two local teams. Westcastle (West Shore) lost 1-0 to Guildford and the Victoria Highlanders (U18) lost 4-1 to Port Moody. The Highlanders’ Mid Isle squad based in Nanaimo also missed out on its chance to make the semifinals. In the over-35 masters and classics category, the Gorge FC’s men’s team failed to advance as did the UVic Alumni’s men’s team, while the Gorge FC women’s team has an automatic berth in the classics final coming out of the South Island.

o you’ve had too much to drink and now you and your car are without a safe option to get home. Enter Wise Choice, a designated driver service that gets you and your vehicle home in one piece. Owners Justin and Michelle Hiscox started Wise Choice two months ago, and the couple, who run the business out of their home in View Royal, say it’s all about family taking care of family. “We’re not about the money, we’re about the people,” says Justin, who has been in the desDon Descoteau ignated driver Biz Beat business for the past four years. A brief glimpse into Jason’s past reveals his intention behind the business. “I don’t want to go to another of my friend’s funerals,” he says. “I lost eight of my friends (to drinking and driving) and that’s why I do what I do today.” The business differs from a taxi service due to Michelle and Justin’s tag-team method. While Justin drives the customer and their vehicle, Michelle follows in the Wise Choice car and keeps track of the distance travelled. The fare is calculated by the kilometre – a ride from downtown Victoria to Sidney would be about $60. Far from nine-to-five, their hours of operation are 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., seven days per week. Despite the long hours and noc-

Victoria Teen Expo premieres at Pearkes
10 Reasons to attend the Teen Expo:
Jennifer Blyth Black Press
While teens today face issues in many ways different from their parents’ and grandparents’ generations, they also enjoy many exciting new opportunities. Through informative, entertaining speakers, demonstrations, exhibits and more, the inaugural Victoria Teen Expo, this Saturday at Pearkes Recreation Centre, will explore both aspects of teen life, while also celebrating their achievements and remarkable potential. “We recognized there was a gap for the youth in the community,” explains Ali Berman, co-founder of the Teen Expo, with husband Wayne Berman and Kim Garnett. “We want to provide opportunities for teens to interact with the resources and businesses that support them.” The only Teen Expo in Canada, there’s an exciting line-up planned to appeal to a wide range of teens, parents, social service workers and others involved with youth, Berman says, thanking community supporters for helping make the Expo possible, including Telus, which will be presenting a “Cool Stuff” area with technology displays and more. In addition to exhibitors such as schools, social service agencies, health, wellness and hair and makeup companies, there’s the Lizbell modelling agency and skateboard demonstrations from Sanction board shop. “We have a huge range because teens are interested in so many different things; all teens are different and all their needs are different,” Berman notes. Not only is the Expo a way to see some of the many opportunities available for teens in the community, but it’s also “a way for the youth to connect with their peers,” Berman says. Tickets also include the opportunity to register for informative workshops:

And for sports fans, it doesn’t get any better than Saskatchewan Roughrider Geroy Simon, the CFL’s all-time receiving yards leader, and 12-season BC Lion, who will be signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. “We’re trying to provide teens with as many options and opportunities as we possibly can and let them make choices,” Berman says.
