Goldstream up for federal protection

Don Denton/News staff

squimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison introduced a private member’s bill to change the status of Goldstream River and offer it greater protection federally. Garrison based the bill on concerns from constituents, who didn’t like the fact the river no longer had federal protection. “It’s such an iconic river,” Garrison said. “So many people, even from a very young age on the Island, get they’re first up-close contact with the whole lifecycle of salmon at the Goldstream River.” A fuel truck accident in 2011, which resulted in the spilling of 43,000 litres of fuel into the river, also brought to people’s attention how important and fragile the river is, said Garrison. Kyle Wells The controversial Bill C-38 passed Reporting by the federal Conservative party, also known as the Jobs, Growth and Longterm Prosperity Act, changed rules surrounding industry development around waterways. Only waterways specifically named in Schedule 2 are federally protected. Others now fall under provincial and municipal guidelines when projects are considered. Should Goldstream be added to Section 2, work that affects it, such as work related to the E&N Railway revitalization, would be subject to a federally mandated environmental assessment. “Yes, down the way, if you end up having to do environmental assessments, there is a cost,” Garrison said. “There are even bigger costs of not doing the assessments and that might be the loss of the salmon run in the Goldstream River.” The river is home to a wide variety of species of fish, animals and plant life. Jean Crowder, the NDP MP for Nanaimo-Cowichan, introduced a similar bill to have the Cowichan River added to Schedule 2. Garrison doesn’t expect either bill to hold much sway with the Conservative majority in parliament. He expects it will not even make it to the floor for debate. “We don’t have much hope the Conservatives will actually act on these and do it, but if you don’t make the suggestion it definitely can’t happen,” Garrison said. “What we’re really looking for here is to pressure the government to restore protection for some of these more important rivers.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Prepare children to say ‘no’ to strangers RCMP encourage parents to empower children with knowledge Charla Huber News staff

Playing outside her front door at her Esquimalt home, six-year-old Cassidy Scott was approached by a man who asked her to go with him. She said “no” and ran inside to tell her mom, Lia Carle. “I was packing up some bags and I could hear her singing and then it sounded like she was talking to someone and I thought it was the landlord,” recalled the Langford mom, who said she was headed to the door as her six-year-old ran in telling her what happened. The man asked Scott if her mom was home and when she said “yes” he still asked her to go with him. “I was really surprised and really scared considering this happened right under my

Cassidy Scott, 11, was asked by stranger to leave her front door and go with him. Six years old at the time, she did the right thing by saying ‘no’ and telling her mom. nose,” Carle said. It was five years ago, but with two similar recent incidents on the West Shore, Carle sparked up the conversation with her kids. “We would come up with scenarios and ask her what she would do. We would say ‘What would you do if you happened to

get lost in mall?’ We asked her just about everything we could think of,” Carle said. “We do the same thing now with our fiveyear-old son.” One question was “What would you do if a stranger asked you to go with them?” “We did this in an informal setting. We don’t want to scare our kids, but they need

to be prepared in case it happens,” Carle said. Within a few weeks of each other, two cases similar to Cassidy’s have been reported to the West Shore RCMP. One incident occurred in View Royal on April 10 and another in Langford April 30. In both cases a child was asked to go with a man in his vehicle. Both children declined and the suspect or suspects have not been found. “We as police know these things happen and we encourage parents and adults to have age-appropriate conversations with their children,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz with West Shore RCMP. “We need to empower our children to recognize when something does not feel right, whether it’s staying over at a friend’s house for the night or walking home from school.” Rochlitz advises parents to tell their children that if something doesn’t feel right on a walk home from school to turn around or stop at a business to call someone they trust. “Tell them to trust their Spidey senses.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

CRD rejects moving sewage plants to rural Saanich The idea of building both the Capital Region sewage treatment plant and the biosolids energy centre on a rural site near Victoria General Hospital

was rejected by the CRD board last week. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins brought a motion to consider the proposal to last Wednesday’s full

board meeting, after she was approached by a landowner willing to sell property at 1947 Burnside Rd. W., near the junction with Prospect Lake Road.

Millstream Village

. . .

Besides the cost factor, the board rejected the idea on the grounds that it would require removal of the lands from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Existing plans call for the treatment facility to be built at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, while the location of the biosolids plant has

yet to be determined. Sites on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt and at the Hartland Landfill are being considered for that facility. For information on the CRD’s Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program, please visit crd.bc.ca/wastewater/ madeclear.htm. editor@vicnews.com

ing the project to the Burnside site – two additional large pumping stations and many kilometres more pipes would be required – would increase the overall cost by 23 per cent to $962.7 million. Operating costs would be an estimated $734,000 higher per year.

The discussions happened behind closed doors, given their relationship to the sale of land, but the board determined it would release the results of the vote due to high public interest in the matter. Preliminary estimates by CRD staff determined that mov-

in Langford at the time, was informed Dec 7, 2012 she was to be deported. She has been described as frail and in need of help to get around. She had no family back in India to take care of her. Her nephew brought her to Canada five years ago on a visitor’s visa. Garrison said the efforts of the community played a large part in the decision. “(The) more than 5,000 community members who sent letters to the Minister (of Immigration) asking that Ms. Bhandal be allowed to stay in Canada were all crucial in winning this appeal. “We all wish the Bhandal family well and congratulate them on the strength they have demonstrated as a family, something that should inspire us all.” The family now lives in Saanich. news@goldstream gazette.com

Mental health issues real for today’s youth Kyle Wells News staff

Faced with the stresses of adult life it can be easy to dismiss a teenager’s problems as kids stuff, but school counsellors know better. Belmont secondary school counsellor Natalie Handy said she sees firsthand the variety of mental health problems teenagers suffer from. “You can bring in a student to talk about timetables and you can end with a completely different conversation about abuse that’s going on in the home or suicide ideation or eating disorders. You never know where the conversation is going to go.” Belmont secondary marked last Tuesday’s national Child and Youth Mental Health Day with a youth mental health information booth set up outside during the school’s lunch break. The lure of free treats and swag brought students over, but once hooked the counsellors were ready with pamphlets and information on resources available to youth who feel as though they might need some help. The giveaways for students were donated by a number of local businesses. “We’re very aware and clear with kids that we don’t want them taking this information away to self-diagnose,” Handy said. “But we do want them to have the information to access

The stresses of youth are often forgotten or downplayed, but a Belmont secondary school counsellor says they can lead to mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. The school is trying to raise awareness and diminish stigma during the Canadian Mental Health Week. Kyle Wells/News staff

sures or all of the above. The popularization of social media and the frenetic immediacy of modern culture is also taking away from a teen’s time to reflect, to process information, which can add to the stress. “There needs to be time to reflect, there needs to be time to pause and understand what’s going on, because it’s all happening so fast,” Handy said. “You see a lot of anxiety, lots of depression in our youth.” Larger mental health issues, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, also often first arise during the teenage years. Early detection is key, so the more students know, and the less stigma that surrounds admitting to mental health problems, the higher the likelihood a student will seek help. “I think as a group we just need to find more ways to reach out to kids and their families.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

a lot of resources … to follow up with us or a family doctor.” The booth proved popular, with a few hundred students showing up to grab a treat and information. Handy believes we, as a society, don’t recognize or talk about how a big a problem mental health issues are for today’s youth. Adults don’t realize just how much stress young people can be under, said Handy, whether it’s related to academics, relationships, home life, peer pressures, societal pres-

Help is a call away n Teens who feel they may need help with anxiety, depression or any other mental health issues are advised to see a school counsellor or family doctor, but initial information can be easily found at the Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868) or online at keltymentalhealth.ca or youth.anxietybc.com “Talk to somebody, pick up the phone and call a help line, or come and talk (to a counsellor). It’s about taking that first step, and I know how difficult it is, but it’s so important,” Handy said.

Saxophone quartet swings into vespers Kyle Wells News staff

Four saxophones playing together in perfect jazzy harmony is an uncommon experience, but an audience in Colwood is in for a treat. The Church of the Advent’s Jazz Vespers series continues with the Barracuda Jazz Saxophone Quartet’s Something Completely Different show on Sunday, May 19. Featuring multiple-vespers performer Monik Nordine, the quartet has played together for about a year and half, mostly informally, and tackles the challenge of playing jazz without the grounding of a rhythm section. Without a beat to keep the musicians in line, the music has to be arranged, perfectly timed and written or memorized, something common to a classical quartet or a big band, but trickier with the improvisational nature of a jazz quartet. The band does one piece with some improvisation played over a memorized base, but most of the work is written out. The vesper’s show will focus on the music of Lennie Niehaus, an American sax player and composer who played in the 1950s and composed music for saxophone, along with film scores, notably for a number Clint Eastwood movies. “He has this really wonderful library of quartet music,” Nordine said. “It is in a jazz vein, and it’s very enjoyable.” Nordine has played with a number of different groups in the Vespers series and said it’s always a pleasure to return. “It’s a really comfortable format for a show,” Nordine said. “The fact that… their church community support the jazz community in Victoria to the extent that they do, is also very kind, very generous and it’s a very nice community of people.” As with all Vespers performances, the band will play a hymn for the audience to sing along with. Something Completely Different starts at 7 p.m. Admission is free but a freewill offering is accepted. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Belmont brings Broadway to Langford

cting is tough enough, even a little tougher when teens turn into strict parents on stage. Tevye and his wife Golde, played by Belmont classmates Brett LaPorte and Lauren Cassidy have a tough time parenting their children in the classic musical theatre production of Fiddler on the Roof. Tevye, a poor dairyman, has five daughters all looking for love. “The father is struggling when he’s losing his daughters to marriage,” explained Cassidy. “The play chronicles each of the three eldest Charla Huber daughters who are looking to find love.” Reporting Some of the conflicts between the teens and their parents stem from the parents strict Jewish community traditions and the more modern ideas of the youth. “Traditions change and evolve over time and people often struggle with traditions,” said Belmont drama teacher Melissa Young, who choreographed and directed the play. For Cassidy and LaPorte, playing parents on stage has made them think about the parents they may become one day. “I hope I am not like Golde. She is a little stricter than I would be and she wears the pants in her relationship,” Cassidy said. “She is a woman who really cares a lot about her family and I would be like her in that.” LaPorte admits he would like to be a similar man to the character he plays. “Tevye is a hard working man who works everyday for his family to give them a good life. I think I would be a bit of a strict father too,” he said. Fiddler on the Roof was created with the hard work of 90 students from grades 9 through 12. Working professionals from the community served as mentors to student musicians, stage and technical directors. “There is something for everyone and it’s a beautifully told story,” said Young Performances are May 15 to 17 at 7 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on May 18.

OUR VIEW

Don’t pass the sewage buck T

he regional sewage treatment project has no shortage of critics. Citizen opposition groups in Greater Victoria decry that the venture is a colossal waste of money, and residents and politicians in Esquimalt don’t want treatment plants in their backyard. Trying to shoehorn a large piece of sewage treatment infrastructure into an urban area is guaranteed to anger and disrupt the lives of some residents and businesses, which is rightly a concern of Esquimalt council. But the latest desperate offering by Esquimalt’s mayor to have the Capital Regional District consider relocating the entire project to rural farmland in Saanich is woefully selfserving and would only accomplish passing the buck to a different municipality. The landowner has a right to offer the land for sale and the CRD board can give it a look, but to push this as a viable location for sewage and sludge treatment plants gives only false hope to those Esquimalt residents potentially impacted by the project. It also comes years after painstaking and costly studies were undertaken to decide on where to locate sewage treatment infrastructure. The CRD rejected the proposal – the Burnside Road West location is provincially protected agricultural land reserve and the move would add some $200 million to an already expensive $783 million project. On the upside, the property offered is 16 hectares and would allow a single location for regional sewage treatment, and is far from homes. But the considerable downside is pumping sewage from the Macaulay and Clover Point outfalls about 13 kilometres across the city for treatment on the farmland, and then back to an outfall. That’s almost as bad as the proposal to pump (or truck) biosolids 18 kilometres to Hartland landfill for energy extraction. Building a treatment plant at an industrial site at McLoughlin Point and potentially at the warehouse complex on Viewfield Road, in the middle of residential Esquimalt, is probably the best of a hard situation, given the geography of Greater Victoria and available land in the city.

Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing.” What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Development has broader aid

Charla Huber/News staff

Good for the sole Chet Robert hammers the heel of a shoe in for repairs at The Quality Cobbler in Langford.

Re: Time to put a lid on development permits (Letters, May 10) In response to Mr. Jackson’s letter, I would respectfully suggest that the real estate market is a bit more complicated than what Mr. Jackson understands. Not only do new developments contribute municipal, regional and school taxes, development cost charges and amenity charges levied at the time of subdivision, development and rezoning make a significant contribution towards new municipal infrastructure such as roads, sidewalks and parks, as well as schools and the regional water supply. It is incorrect to suggest that infrastructure has not kept pace with housing development in Langford, as the infrastructure needs of each development are measured by council and then again by city hall staff before development approvals are granted. Approvals which often come with a requirement to construct infrastructure. Although local government exerts a great deal of influence over what gets developed, and where, it is unreasonable to think that they do, can or should control development to the extent that Mr. Jackson suggests. Moreover, it is wrong to believe that intervention by any local government in an attempt to “let the market readjust to a balanced state” would have any positive benefit to the housing market, affordability or the community at large.

It’s unfortunate that Mr. Jackson has only been in Langford since 2005, it seems he doesn’t appreciate the huge infrastructure changes for the better that Langford has experienced because of new development. Jim Hartshorne, president Westshore Developers Association

bitumen, and given that any review of the Kinder Morgan proposal would identify such risks, opposition to the proposal, early on, seems reasonable. Besides, the choice is not between fossil fuels and nothing. Elizabeth Kaller Saanich

Call for ban to animal events at annual rodeo

Oil income important for British Columbia

May long weekend is approaching and with it the annual Luxton Pro Rodeo held in Langford which includes events such as calf-roping, steer wrestling and the use of items like flank straps to encourage the wild bucking of docile bulls and horses. These events have been banned by other municipalities, including Vancouver, and are not supported by the BCSPCA, other animal welfare organizations or local veterinarians. Please tell your local politicians, event sponsors and rodeo officials that in 2013 you support an evolved community event that does not cause fear, stress and risk of injury and death to animals.

Re: Tanker paranoia won’t help us (Our View, May 8) Thank you for the editorial in this week’s edition. While I want energy projects to be conducted as safely as possible, our governments need the income energy exports bring in order to provide the programs we ask for. Helen Goodchild Victoria

The music of Mexico comes to the Inner Harbour in a free preview of the Mariachi Festival Daniel Palmer News staff

The sights and sounds of Mexican tradition are coming to Victoria for the fifth annual Mariachi Festival on May 17 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall. Up to 36 performers from Mexico, Texas and Vancouver will showcase the centuries-old traditional Mexican music, with a sneak peek performance at the Inner Harbour on Friday morning. “It’s a very unique family festival, very rich in music and history, and it brings a little bit of education about what we have in Mexico,” said director/producer Alex Alegria, who heads his own mariachi band, Los Dorados (the Golden Boys) in Vancouver. Professional mariachi group Cocula promise to get the audience moving

when they take the stage dressed as charros (otherwise known as “Mexican cowboys”) complete with sombreros, flashy belts and colourful suits. Cocula hails from what is believed to be the birthplace of mariachi in Jalisco, Mexico. While its origins date back to the 16th century, the modern mariachi of trumpets, strings and guitar only developed in the late 1920s, Alegria said. “Back in the day, we didn’t have trumpets, instead there were drums and a little flute, the chimirilla. That instrument is almost like a flute but with a much different sound,” he said. Texas-based Los Arrieros is also adding their worldclass musical expertise to the festival in Victoria, as well as stops in Vancouver and Nanaimo.

Uno hits 300

Colour inspirations

After 17 years, Victoria’s Uno Fest is now North America’s longest-running festival of solo performance. Following last year’s successful festival, which featured Hawksley Workman’s The God That Comes, this year marks the 300th show at Uno Fest. The 10-day curated festival features some of the best solo performers from across North America, including Fringe favorites Jayson McDonald, Tara Travis and John Grady, alongside national successes Itai Erdal’s How to Disappear Completely, Evalyn Parry’s Spin, Cliff Cardinal’s Huff, Johanna Nutter’s My Pregnant Brother and Brian Fidler’s Broken. The festival is also presenting the entertaining, raunchy and always controversial (and former Uno Fest performer) Mike Daisey in his return to Victoria with American Utopias at the Metro Studio May 16 and 17 as a special pre-Uno Fest event. In American Utopias Daisey explores how we create public spaces where we act out our dreams of a better world. Uno Fest runs May 22 to June 2 at Metro Studio and Intrepid Theatre Club. Tickets are available at ticketrocket.org or at 250590-6291. llavin@vicnews.com

Simple steps to choosing the right summer camp for your child Jennifer Blyth What would your child’s ideal summer camp experience look like? Whether you’re looking for a day camp to engage and entertain the kids during the week or an away camp at one of Vancouver Island’s lake-front getaways, families have many options to choose from. While many families look forward to a little unstructured downtime away from school, summer camp also offers many opportunities – it enables children to stay engaged when there may be limited interaction with school friends, it allows them to explore new activities and adventusre, and it provides parents a safe solution while they’re at work.

For older children, camps can offer time to improve skills in sports, music, drama or other activities they don’t have as much time for during the busy school year. While some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp, others may need a little coaxing, but either way, it’s a good idea to engage children in the search for the right summer camp for them. Consider, for example: • What is your budget? • Are you looking for a half-day camp, full-day or an overnight camp? • What size camp would your child be comfortable with? • Should the camp be coed or single sex? • Do you need your child to stay local or are they able to travel?

• What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? How do you find a few quality summer camp options to choose from? The camps and activities featured right here are a good place to start. Recreation centres, schools and community organizations also have a wide range of activities planned, from music and art to sports and outdoor adventure. Friends and family are another terrific resource – ask for recommendations about camps their children enjoyed. Once you identify a few options, unless they’re camps you’re familiar with, take the time to ask a few questions to ensure a good fit for your child and family. Questions to consider – and ask about if you’re

Regardless of whether your camper will be away for three hours or three weeks, a few basics will go a long way to ensuring a positive camp experience. For day camps, be sure to send a nutritious lunch and snacks to keep them fuelled for the day’s adventures and plenty of water to keep them hydrated. High SPF sunscreen and a hat are essential – a sunburn is not only dangerous but can also prevent kids from enjoying the activities they want to do. Don’t forget to show kids how to apply the sunscreen properly – easy face sticks and sprays can make it easier. For overnight camps, check for policies on things like food and personal electronics; it may be a good idea to leave these at home. Do a double-check for swimsuits and footwear, and be sure to bring enough clothing to accommodate weather changes. Finally, remember a positive attitude and a bright smile – the most important ingredients for summer fun!

James Bay make it 24 James Bay win 24th B.C. rugby title; Velox lose to Burnaby Travis Paterson News staff

The veteran forward pack of the James Bay Athletic Association commanded its way to an 18-10 victory over Burnaby Lake in the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League Rounsefell Cup Final on Saturday, one of three provincial rugby finals at UVic’s Wallace Field. “We knew our forward pack would need to match their’s, at least,” said James Bay captain Spencer Dalziel. The Bays rarely gave up the ball and took their time grinding the game down. Peter Gillespie scored JBAA’s first try to make it 5-5 at the half. Oak Bay High grad Sean White scored a penalty goal to start the second half. Mitch Bancroft and Jim de Goede scored two more tries off an impressive series of rucks by the JBAA forwards for an 18-5 lead. “They outplayed us,” said Burnaby Lake captain Mike Gough. It’s the 24th provincial title for the Bays, which also won the Island championship last month.

Velox slip in Harris Cup final Burnaby Lake rode a dominant first half to edge the Velox Valkyries 17-13 for the Gordon Harris Memorial Cup, emblematic of the 2013 B.C. Rugby Adidas Women’s Premiership championship. Burnaby roared to a 14-3 lead in the first half

with Velox’s Monique Boag knotting the only score on a penalty goal. The second half saw a reverse in momentum with Velox winning the rucks they weren't winning in the first half. It led to two tries, one from captain Brittany Sims and the other fullback Selina McGinnis, 14-13. But Burnaby managed to find just enough in the late going to hold on, with Julia Sugawara converting a penalty goal.

High school rivals joined on UVic The UVic Norsemen defeated Burnaby Lake Rugby 35-15 in the second of the day's trilogy of championships, the men’s First Division Ceili’s Cup final. Late tries by Luke McCluskey and Kapi Vataiki sealed it for UVic, which stayed true to the Div. 1 theme and trotted out first-year rookies. Granted, some of those rookies are very much on the radar of the national team program. The scored finished 15-10 at half for Burnaby. UVic kept in it thanks to the fine kicking of local product Fergus Hall, a Glenlyon Norfolk School grad. Centre Dustin Dobravsky and winger Keenan Horton scored second-half tries for UVic, while Hall kicked 15 points. The win was a club effort, said UVic flanker Jeff Nishima-Miller, a recent grad of St. Michaels University School in Saanich and former rival of Hall's in school play. “We had so many injuries all year,” he said.

Having dropped last year’s Ryan Cup final, the Lambrick Park Lions came out determined to win it Thursday afternoon (May 9) at UVic. Emily Aspden and Emma Entzminger scored to put Lambrick ahead 2-0. But the Belmont Bulldogs, in its first Ryan Cup high school girls city soccer final, came back to win 3-2 on goals from Kate Payter, Kristen Livingstone and Marisa Livingstone.

Barbs draw Rams in city rugby final

The Mount Douglas Rams are back in the rugby mix. The historic rugby program took a break recently as the province’s top football program took over as the school’s premier contact sport and won backto-back B.C. championshps. But rugby is at the core of the Saanich school’s history and not only are the Rams back, they’re in the city’s AAA final. The Rams challenge for the Howard Russell cup against the perennial powerhouse Oak Bay Barbarians, 3:15 p.m. at Oak Bay High on Thursday.

the right to challenge St. Michaels University School in the Colonel Hodgson Cup AA city final. Results were past press time. That final follows the Howard Russell at Oak Bay.

“We made a lot of changes in the second half, we were checking out some of the players and we had two youth players playing at the end there,” said coach Dave Dew.

Highlanders win in PCSL return

Jr. Shamrocks split mainland road trip

The Peninsula Coop Highlanders defeated the Kamloops Heat 4-1 at Tyndall Park on Sunday afternoon, the Highlanders’ debut return to the Pacific Coast Soccer League. Jaclyn Sawicki and Katie Kraeutner both scored before the 15-minute mark. Jackie Harrison added to the lead, then came a successful penalty shot by Liz Hansen. All four Highlanders goals came in the first half.

The Victoria junior Shamrocks split the weekend’s games with an 11-8 loss to the Langley Thunder at home on Saturday, followed by an 11-9 road win over the Delta Islanders on Sunday. The Rocks are now 3-1, tied for second place in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League standings. The Rocks host the Coquitlam Adanacs at Bear Mountain Arena at 5 p.m. Saturday (May 18).

Gorge’s Janet Bisson, centre, narrowly misses scoring on a header against Burnaby Selects in the provincial B Cup final at Westhills Stadium on Saturday. Burnaby won 2-1.

Gorge’s next premier team burned in finals Travis Paterson News staff

Gorge FC’s soon-to-be premier women’s team came within a goal of winning the provincial soccer Leeta Sokalski Cup B Cup title on Saturday only to fall 2-1 to the Burnaby Selects. It was one of six provincial soccer finals held at Westhills and Goudy fields in Langford. The only other local squad representing was also a Gorge FC women’s team, which fell 3-0 in the Women’s Classics to the Coastal FC Supra. It was the B Cup that Gorge nearly won, however. Tied 1-1 and about 15 minutes into the second half, the B Cup final looked to turn in Gorge’s favour when Burnaby took a red card and went down to 10 players. But before Gorge could take advantage, Burnaby struck on a miscue to take a 2-1 lead. From there on it was all Gorge.

B.C. Weightlifting champion Isaiah Brasset’s result was incorrectly reported in the May 10 issue of the News.

“(Burnaby) hung on for dear life. We were the better team for the last 30 minutes and weren’t missing by much,” Gorge coach Rick Zaharia said. “It was very exciting to watch, we created so many opportunities, we just didn’t finish them.” The former coach of the Victoria Highlanders women’s reserves team will return to guide the Gorge team in 2013-14 as it is promoted to the premier division of the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association from Div. 1. Tryouts are in early August. Zaharia expects the Gorge team will gain interest from premier level players. “We’ll want to take some on to be competitive but we also want to have a balance with the players that got the team into this tier,” he said.

All British Columbians benefit from our forests whether through recreational activities, employment or the significant contribution they make to our provincial economy. The Association of BC Forest Professionals registers and regulates BC’s forest professionals. Forest professionals sustainably manage aspects of the forest including forest health (insect infestations, diseases and fire), fish and wildlife habitat, preparing areas for harvesting and much more.

British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.

T__ F__

A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year.

T__ F__

The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.

T__ F__

Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day. □ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home. □ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can). □ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity. □ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
