Dispelling myths about metal Congress 2013 sees metalheads explore links between religion, heavy metal music On a sunny weekday afternoon, the front man of Scimitar offers up a rather uncomplicated explanation for why he and his three bandmates chose the moniker for their metal project. “Three syllables make the best band names,” said Angus Lennox, crossing campus en route to Mystic Vale, where the of Natalie North University Victoria Students’ Reporting Society heavy metal club regularly meets. “Plus, it looks good on a t-shirt.” In his next breath Lennox explains that a scimitar, a curved Middle Eastern sabre popular with 15th-century buccaneers, is a link to the group’s early sound, which was heavily influenced by an interest in the bygone era. Some of the band’s latest music sprang from his interest in Zulu people in the late 19th century, but all of their songs have a historical context, said Lennox, a history and political science double major who often finds songwriting inspiration in his course lectures. He and bandmates Clayton Basi, George Anstey and Noel Anstey take their studies seriously, as well as challenging the misconceptions of their chosen genre. South of Heaven: Religion

The growing urban deer population in Greater Victoria presents municipalities with difficult choices for addressing the situation, but the District of Oak Bay isn’t shying away from the challenge. The municipality is working toward developing a deer management program it hopes will alleviate the problems associated with the animals. “An important first step in the process will be to hear the concerns and suggestions of our community’s residents,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. There will be an opportunity for public input at a special committee of the whole meeting at 7 p.m. on June 12 at Oak Bay municipal hall, when council will receive more information from the Capital Regional District regarding deer management. Council will then decide whether to develop and implement its own pilot program to help residents cope with deer.

Library loses a familiar face Witneses testify in ex-teacher’s trial Longtime branch head retires during a changing, but popular time

Kyle Slavin News staff

Natalie North News staff

It’s been many years since Neil McAllister has ordered books relating to cats, cars or the Kennedys. While it’s unclear if any underlying penchant for the three changed during the newly retired librarian’s 14 years with the Greater Victoria Public Library – his dapper navy sport coat and khakis could well have been pulled straight from the closet of America’s royal family – his ordering patterns certainly did. One of the handful of changes the former Oak Bay branch head has seen since he began his library career at the Fraser Valley Regional Library in 1995, is the loss of choice over which books a branch brings in through the centralization of ordering of literary materials. McAllister, who retired from the Oak Bay branch after eight years at the post on May 31, isn’t negative about the switch, as it’s just one facet to a digital content evolution – one which includes the largely uncharted landscape of electronic licensing for a growing collection of e-books. “It’s been a real challenge for us, between the publishers and the libraries and the software,” said McAllister, cozied up to a fireplace in a wingback chair at the branch. “It’s really changing quickly.” McAllister, a budding writer himself, studied English and worked in publishing, before later returning to the University of British Columbia for a master’s in library science. He was then poised to enter the system at a pivotal moment in worldwide informationsharing: the advent of the Internet. “When I started, the Internet was just in its infancy and I think it cost about $20 a minute to search,” he said. “The impact of that was that a library like this can bring in a world of information, far more information than they ever could in the past.” Offering online help and computer basics, from resumé writing to email troubleshooting,

The one-time roommate of a former Vic High schoolteacher accused of criminal harassment says allegations against Frank Canacari are true. He knows them to be true because Canacari openly talked about breaking into two women’s apartments, taking items and sending harassing phone calls and emails, Terry Bogue testified on Tuesday in Victoria provincial court. Canacari faces two counts of criminal harassment and two counts of unlawfully being in a dwelling house related to a woman in Esquimalt and a woman in Saanich. Bogue said despite not having lived together more than a few weeks in March 2010, Canacari would share with him the ongoing details while stalking two women he dated. Bogue told the court that Canacari said he got one woman’s address by going into her purse and getting her driver’s licence. He went over to her house when it was vacant, entered through an open door and took photos inside her home. He then came home and showed Bogue the photos. “Why would Mr. Canacari show you this?” asked Crown prosecutor Chandra Fisher. “Because he’s upset because she’d never tell him where she lived. This was his way of getting back (at her),” Bogue replied. He told Judge Lorna-Jeanne Harvey that Canacari also told him he paid a sex trade worker $10 to call the woman in the middle of the night “to horrify her.” The second victim, Erin Meyer, testified earlier Tuesday. Bogue told the court in May 2010 Canacari was upset that his brief relationship with Meyer was crumbling, and believed it to be because she had reconnected with an ex-boyfriend. Around May 15, Canacari staked out West Bay Marina, believing Meyer to be there with her ex for the night, Bogue said. Overnight, Canacari used a house key in Meyer’s gym bag to go into her apartment. Bogue said an upset Canacari told him he took a pack of cigarettes from her place, and used her computer to send an anonymous email to Meyer denigrating her ex-boyfriend. Bogue contacted Meyer on May 20, after the incident, and they went to Victoria police together. When asked why he didn’t go to police sooner about the stalking, Bogue told the court that he had threatened to previously, and Canacari said, “It’s none of their businesses, it’s my business. … I’m smarter than them, what are they going to do?” Canacari was arrested in June 2010 at Vic High while he was teaching. He has not been back in a classroom since. On Wednesday, officers from the Victoria and Saanich police departments testified. Chris Gillen, owner of Dial-A-Geek computer services, also testified in court Wednesday that Canacari contacted his company, asking to remove “illegal material or incriminating material” from his computer. Gillen said Canacari claimed the material to be linked to his roommate. Meyer spoke to CTV News outside of the Victoria Law Courts Tuesday, saying she still worries for her safety. “I still look behind me and I still take note of everybody that is behind me. Yes, I was very, very afraid, very fearful, and it just really messes with your whole sense of well being and security.” The trial against Canacari is expected to last through the end of the week. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Sometimes a spade isn’t just a spade. Just ask the volunteers with the Oak Bay archives who were given one such mysterious artifact that could have belonged to one of Victoria’s first settlers, John Tod. Alan McKinlay was volunteering at the archives earlier this month when he received a call from a staffer at Oak Bay United Church. The church had received a donation of a small, wood-handled shovel marked with a tag reading: “from Tod House garden.” Tod House, at 2564 Heron St., was built in 1850 and is the oldest continually occupied house in western Canada. A church volunteer called McKinlay prior to placing the item for sale in its thrift shop. Apparently, the former owner of the garden tool of yore purchased it from a garage sale and knew no other background information on its story. “I went along and had a look at

it and that’s right, it is a shovel,” McKinlay said with a laugh. “It is a spade.” McKinlay and the team at the archives are hopeful someone is able to illuminate the item’s past. Until then, it is destined to sit among a handful of artifacts that have accumulated within the archives: bottles from the Hudson’s Drug Store that date back to 1912, every dog tag ever issued by the district and a variety of Second World War artifacts.

The history buffs at the archives have long talked about opening a museum for their expanding collection, McKinlay said, even if they’re not entirely sure of the history themselves. “Looking at the age, I think it’s probably legit,” he said of the spade. “If anybody has anymore information we would be absolutely delighted to hear the story.” The Oak Bay archives can be contacted at 250-598-3290 or obarchives@oakbay.ca. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Metal music has broad appeal Continued from Page A1 Boyarin sees metal as an untapped lens through which to view religion and plans to offer follow-up courses at UVic. “I’m a bit of the anomaly in this – don’t get me wrong, I listen to metal and enjoy it – but it’s always with a part of my brain analyzing it and intellectualizing it,” he said. Local freelance journalist Greg Pratt leads the first talk on Saturday, an introduction to religious imagery in metal through some of its most notable names. Pratt – whose metal resumé includes 15 years producing CFUV radio show “Riot in the Dungeons” and bringing Quiet Riot album Metal Health for show and tell in Grade 1 – has strived to make his presentation accessible to all, from the curious outsider to the hardcore metalhead. And in Victoria, there are a few. “Going back to the ‘80s, Victoria has always had a strong metal presence,” Pratt said. “Metal fans are really loyal.” It’s a fact to which Casey Lazar, head of the UVSS heavy metal club and a guy who mostly wears leather pants, can attest. While the majority of the club’s roughly 400 members are students, attendees at local shows range in age

from the single-digit crowd to octogenarians. Metalheads have been at it since the outset of the genre in the ’70s – Lazar’s high school librarian partied with Motörhead, he beams – and now they’re showing the latest generation how it’s done. “We’ve got lots of folk-metal bands, traditional, black, thrash, we don’t have lots of metalcore or nu metal, but we don’t have any rule that says they’re not allowed,” Lazar said. “We even have people who don’t like metal all – they just like the environment.” Scimitar has no problem drawing more than 300 people to an all-ages show and band members say they’ve created good working relationships with promoters and venue owners in the past six years. But they agree their genre comes with a hefty dose of bias and prejudgment. “We try to act as professionally as possible, because there is a big stereotype of heavy metal bringing out delinquents,” George Anstey said. “Even though we all have long hair and look greasy,” Lennox added. For Lazar, the stigma attached to metal stretches beyond professional situations into the community.

“That’s one of the goals of the metal club: to reach out to the general population and show that there’s this giant group of metalheads, and they’re in postsecondary institutions,” he said. “They’re not some deadbeat coke addicts.” Said Pratt: “I think a big misconception – that lots of bands have fostered – is that metal is evil and satanic and scary … a lot of bands were doing it for shock value.” He assures those who may feel intimidated by South of Heaven that all are welcome. “I think people are going to be surprised. It’d be great if people who think they don’t care about metal, if they’d show up.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Derelict boats a regional issue Greater Victoria is blessed with many kilometres of coastline and as such, is home to a large number of pleasure craft. Over the years, some boat owners have chosen to take permanent or semi-permanent refuge in the protected waters in and around the Capital Region. Such spots as the Gorge and Selkirk waterways, Oak Bay and Thetis Cove in View Royal have been among the favoured spots for mariners looking to avoid moorage fees and, in some cases, enjoy free living space. When these boats have created problems, either by coming away from their anchorage in a storm or leaking mechanical fluids or bilge into the water, affected municipalities have struggled to find permanent answers to what has become an ongoing issue. Of late, rowers in the Selkirk waters in Victoria have noticed floating human excrement in the area, not to mention had occasion to dodge drifting boats for which no one appears to want to take responsibility. While the solution might appear simple on the surface – follow the trail and levy a fine, maybe even seize vessels – this case offers another example of jurisdictional paralysis. The City of Victoria, like all coastal municipalities, has little to no authority on the water. Worried about the cost of enforcing marine health and safety in the area, some councillors have suggested that a third party, such as the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, might be better suited to handle the task. Neither Transport Canada, which retains responsibility for enforcing navigable water regulations here, and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which oversees the marine habitat, seem to want to take the lead on the issue. They may be forced to clarify their policies before long. Victoria is fast tiring of having no jurisdictional teeth with which to deal with abandoned and derelict vessels.

Ontario’s government plans to spend billions to expand its regional transit system in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, under a plan called the Big Move. It’s also looking at new financing tools to ensure funding levels are adequate and continue into the future. But before we spend enormous amounts on improvements, we need to ensure projects contribute to a region-wide rapid transit network using the latest technology and adhering to the highest sustainability and costeffectiveness standards. That’s why a proposal to use diesel trains for the Air-Rail-Link plan to connect downtown Toronto with its international airport in Mississauga is concerning. Heavy diesel trains emit particulates and other contaminants, including known carcinogens. Numerous experts, including Toronto’s Medical Health Officer, have urged the Ontario government to abandon its diesel plan in favour of electric trains that could be better integrated into a region-wide rapid transit network. Vancouver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and New York City have consistently ranked among the most livable cities on the continent, in part because they take the environment into account in planning decisions. They all have world-class public transit systems that move residents in a safe, affordable and sustainable way. davidsuzuki.org

The time has come for a regional police force When the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crimes unit was formed in 2010, Saanich initially chose not to participate and only this year came on board (with significantly less dollars than VicPD despite Saanich’s larger population). Recently, Sidney and North Saanich decided to withdraw from the Regional Crime Unit due to budget considerations and VicPD does not participate. Vancouver PD withdrew from an agreement with Port Moody to provide Emergency Response Team services this year, also due to budget constraints. When VicPD pulled back one officer from the Regional Domestic Violence Unit last fall, they were criticized, yet Victoria and Esquimalt, with a smaller combined population than Saanich, had been funding two

Re: In Saanich, no call is too small (Guest column, Frank Leonard, May 24) It seems Mayor Leonard attempting to downplay Wally Oppal’s recommendation for regional policing (contained in his December 2012 Downtown Eastside Missing Women report) by implying that Saanich is the only department that responds to “false alarms, noisy house parties and break and enters,” that it practises community policing and that such coverage would change under a regional policing model? Most large police departments in Canada deliver community based policing as envisioned in Mayor Leonard’s column. He states that integrated services suffice, however, such services are often first cut when police departments face budget restraints.

officers while Saanich funded only one. Wally Oppal also made mention of problems with integration in his report. A regional force would deploy resources as required throughout the region and the inherent problems with integrated units would be eliminated. Perhaps the mayor is concerned that the downtown core, where most of the region’s social challenges exist (homelessness, street-level substance abuse, and mental health issues) and where most of the region’s drinking and nighttime entertainment establishments are located, would draw resources away from Saanich. There is no valid reason to believe that will occur, but better utilization and co-ordination of

resources would occur under a regional model. Victoria and Esquimalt, with a combined population of about 99,000, have 243 officers, whereas Saanich, with a population over 110,000, has 149 officers. The ratio of population to police is striking; one officer per 738 people in Saanich and one per 407 residents in Victoria/ Esquimalt. Victoria and Esquimalt had the highest per capita policing costs in the province in 2010. Since Esquimalt was forced to disband its combined police/ fire department in 2001, it has been the only municipality to pay a share towards policing the region’s downtown. Esquimalt’s contract with Victoria splits VicPD’s budget based on Esquimalt’s share of the combined assessed property

values of both municipalities (currently around 15 per cent of the VicPD budget). Saanich, Oak Bay and other local municipalities pay nothing towards those costs. Perhaps Mayor Leonard can explain how it is fair for Esquimalt to fund a share of downtown Victoria policing costs while Saanich doesn’t, yet Saanich residents contribute to downtown’s policing challenges. The time has come for a regional police force. Left in the hands of local elected officials, nothing will happen. The Minister of Justice needs to act. Colin Nielsen Victoria Editor’s note: Colin Nielsen is a former RCMP officer of 31 years, mainly in Greater Victoria.

Readers respond: Green in Gordon Head, Victoria as Cycle City Lending a voice to sustainability cause In response to Don White’s letter about the fallacy of “greenest neighbourhood” (News, May 31), it would appear that he is not a believer in “every journey begins with a single step.” It is true he has no way of knowing all of the environmental practices of the Gordon Head-Oak Bay residents. However, he comes across rather sanctimonious in his judgments of vehicles driven (weren’t they parked at the time of observation?), water recovery (rain barrels may be in the back yard) and tidy yards (do push mowers mean an unkempt lawn?) etc. When electing a representative, one looks not only in terms of being “one of us” but also leadership. Maybe the people confident enough to display an Andrew Weaver sign are looking for

a leader to help them move forward in their quest to be more “green.” I think it would do the party a disservice to insist that only those who already live a more pronounced environmentally friendly lifestyle are allowed to openly show support for a Green candidate. If this is the case, the writer is correct in his prediction of “doom.” I did not vote for Andrew Weaver, but I appreciate the opportunity he provides in presenting alternate views in the legislature. Along with taking cues from the representative the voters have elected, perhaps the spotlight label of “greenest neighbourhood” will motivate all of us who live here to become more conscious of our personal affect on the environment. While maybe not yet the “greenest neighbourhood” in a practical sense, we are the

neighbourhood most willing to give voice to the cause. Susan Henn Saanich

City doesn’t need more cycle lanes Re: Spin City (News, June 5) It’s nice to think of Victoria as Cycle City, even though a very small proportion of our trips are made that way. Victoria does have a friendly climate, a street-car era “bones” for city design, making distances short for many from home to work, stores, etc. However, it gives me a pain to hear the likes of Brad Dellebuur, city transportation manager, or the cycling coalition, suggest that we just need more bike lanes, etc. to get people on two wheels. I have been cycling in this area for more than 45 years, with 35 years before that in various places in the U.S. I find few hinderances to cycling in

the Greater Victoria area. Today, much of what I learned through experience can be taught through a course or reading, in a short time. One learns about proper equipment, dress and road behaviour. When I compare cyclists with car and motorcycle drivers, both must learn to share the road safely. Car drivers and motorcyclists have to pass a test. The ignorant aren’t given a special lane to compensate for their ignorance. It’s time to stop the whining and make education more easily obtainable. Schools could stop wasting PE time on activities that have no adult carry-over and install bike courses instead. Safe cycling could be funded as an adult education offering. It’s true that there are a few changes to the road structure, etc., which might help, but just painting more bike lanes is not one. Robert McInnes Victoria

Make a date with these brave thespians Calendar Girls a tasteful rendition of popular story, director says Kyle Slavin News staff

A group of middle-aged women posing naked for a calendar might not be what comes to mind when one thinks of a wildly successful pin-up shoot, but Calendar Girls at Langham Court Theatre is a play based on that very true story. Director Michael King says the show, running June 13 to 29, is a family friendly show that doesn’t contain nudity. “There is the scene where we do the calendar shoot, and in that scene the women on stage do not have their clothes on. But they are artfully concealed by a myriad of items,” he says. “The choreography of that scene was really hard … just making sure that from all angles of the audience the women aren’t exposed.” Calendar Girls tells the story of a group of friends from Yorkshire, England who produce a nude calendar as part of a fundraiser for a cancer ward at their area hospital. “The calendars they would do every year were photos of country churches and bridges – they never raised much money.

Photo by David Lowes

Cast members of Langham Court Theatre’s production of Calendar Girls get into the spirit of the story, which sees women publish a nude calendar as a fundraiser for a cancer ward in their local hospital in Yorkshire, England. When they decided to do a nude calendar, these women – who are all in their late 40s to mid 70s – ended up raising ($900,000),” King says. Casting Victoria-based actors in a show in which there would be covered nudity was

easier than the director expected. “I’ve never had so many women show up for an audition knowing that they were going to be taking their clothes off on stage,” he says. “We had 50 women show up for the audi-

tions. We have nine women in the show playing 10 female characters, and six of them actually take their clothes off.” The Langham Court production is based on the 2003 film of the same name, starring Helen Mirren. King says he never got around to watching the movie, and once he was tasked with directing the local stage version, he consciously avoided the film. “I guess i just wanted to put my own slant on it, and we’ll see what happens,” he says. The show is being advertised “for mature audiences” but King stresses the nudity is all tastefully covered. “Calendar Girls should not make anyone uncomfortable. It’s a light, funny show with some very endearing themes in it. “We’re talking about the loss of life and the loss of partners, but we’re also talking about the goods that can come out of that. These friends went out and did something about it and turned it into such an amazingly good thing. It’s a very positive story.” Calendar Girls shows at 8 p.m. at Langham Court Theatre (805 Langham Ct.) starting June 13. A pair of 2 p.m. matinees are scheduled for June 22 and 29. Tickets are $21 for adults, $19 for students and seniors. They are available, along with detailed schedule information, online at langhamtheatre.ca or by calling 250-384-2142. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Dressed in a heavy collared shirt and tough jeans, Jeff Krieger exudes an air of formal ruggedness, like Indiana Jones at a press conference. Krieger sits in an overstuffed leather chair in his Metchosin home. The small Harris hawk on his knee is a juvenile male named Taruk and the larger one on his hand is a female named Easy. In his lap sits a Jack Russell terrier named Pixie. He has always had an affinity for wildlife. As a child growing up in Windsor, Ont., Krieger spent every possible moment out in the woods. Now he’s cared for “every animal under the sun,” including fruit bats, muskrats and “every kind of reptile possible.” His business, Alternative Wildlife Solutions, offers a humane option for dealing with wild animals that settle in attics, garages or anywhere else on a client’s property. Otters under floorboards and hawks in grocery stores are all part of a day’s work for Krieger, who started the business eight years ago with encouragement from Sara Dubois, the now B.C. SPCA manager of wildlife services, and former manager of Metchosin’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC). Dubois and Krieger, both volunteers at the centre, saw a niche for safe animal relocation and rehabilitation. “There were other people doing removal but no one was doing anything humane,” Krieger says. “They’d just trap them and then euthanize them.” Within a year parttime turned into fulltime, leading to a life as unique as the situations he deals with. “There’s no school you can go to to learn what I do,” he says. “I basically made up a career that I love.” That love shines through when he talks about the animals that share his home. Along with Pixie, Easy and Taruk, there is a peregrine falcon, a red-tailed hawk, an endangered Madagascar tree boa (the only one in North America) two cats and a 65-pound sulcata tortoise. The trio Krieger sits with on the chair add an element to his work that gives his business

Jeff Krieger, with his dog, Pixie, and Easy, a female Harris hawk, solves animal problems for homeowners. a leg, or wing, up on the competition. While Pixie flushes out unwanted rabbits from school fields, Easy soars overhead waiting for a sign of movement and a reason to dive toward Earth. This aspect of Krieger’s job is the only one that steps outside his no-kill policy, but even in this he finds comfort in the fact that his birds are being fed, doing what they would naturally do in the wild. Along with running his business and caretaking at Wild ARC, Krieger uses the tree boa,

tortoise and peregrine falcon to educate the public, especially students, about the importance of caring for endangered and exotic species. Any minor wounds he suffers are nothing compared to the rewards. “It’s a lot of self satisfaction. It comes to seeing an animal come in and knowing it’s going to get a second chance.” To reach Alternative Wildlife Solutions, email awsvic@ wildmail.com. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Two arrested for stealing dog

A young Saanich couple went to police for help last Sunday after finding their lost dog was up for sale on an online classified site. After having no luck checking with the SPCA or the animal pound, they found a classified ad online for the dog with an $800 price tag, along with photos of their dog, Bieber. Saanich police officers shadowed the owners, who met the suspect sellers in the parking lot of a supermarket. The would-be sellers, a 35-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, both Saanich residents, were arrested for theft. Bieber was returned to his owners, and appeared to be in good health.

Wedding rings found in Saanich

Saanich police have two gold wedding bands discovered beneath a rock in Finnerty Cove. The rings were found by a man and his grandson behind the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health around 10 a.m. on June 1. Police are looking to return the rings to their rightful owner. Call Saanich police at 250475-4321 if you know who owns the rings.

Spring campaign underway The Victoria Hospitals Foundation has a healthy goal in its efforts to help fund a $1.4-million Gamma-CT scanner for Royal Jubilee Hospital. The foundation hopes to raise $375,000 toward its purchase, which would offer the hospital another key detection tool. “This leading-edge equipment combines two imaging technologies in one exam, which means patients receive a complete diagnosis sooner, and medical imaging waitlists are reduced for everyone,” said Alan Lowe, vice-chair of the foundation. The Gamma-CT scanner takes two scans at the same time, combining a nuclear medicine scan with a CT scan. This creates one high-resolution image that captures everything doctors need for a diagnosis in just one appointment, allowing patients to get treatment more quickly.

“To pinpoint a tumour or find the exact location of an infection or serious bone pain, a patient could previously go through two or more medical scans,” said radiologist Dr. Kevin Forkheim. “But now, the high-definition images taken with the Gamma-CT Scanner provide a real time picture of how disease is impacting a person’s body. This means we can offer treatments or surgeries that are as precise as possible. Many people will benefit significantly from this sophisticated equipment — it allows us to become better medical detectives.” Donations can be made by returning the letter residents receive at home, by contacting the Victoria Hospitals Foundation at 250-5191750 or going online to victoriahf.ca. editor@oakbaynews.com

The HarbourCats opened their inaugural season Wednesday with a game against the Kelowna Falcons.

Breakers collect silver medal again Don Descoteau News staff

Losing the B.C. girls high school AAA soccer final 1-0 to perennial powerhouse Argyle Pipers was a bitter pill to swallow for the Oak Bay Breakers. Reflecting on her team’s performance this season and at last weekend’s provincial tournament in North Vancouver, however, Oak Bay co-captain Katie Hanson had nothing but admiration for her teammates. “I think this group is really special in the way everyone was able to commit entirely to the program and our main goal, which was to get to provincials,” the Grade 12 defender said. “I’m really proud of the way everyone competed and was committed.” As it was all season, the Breakers’ backline was a brick wall through the tournament, giving up just one goal in regulation or overtime. Grade 12s Hanson, Elise Butler and Jessie Collison – who played together since Grade 9 – and Grade 11 Sabine Boisvert drew the praise of coach Brent Garraway for their work ethic and leadership. “We make (the program) about way more than just the soccer. A big part of it is them maturing and growing up and learning life lessons,” he said. Tournament host Argyle Pipers scored around the 30-minute mark in the final, then went into shutdown mode. The Breakers had several scoring opportunities in the second half, including a two-on-none that saw Meghan Kivell’s attempted pass to a teammate intercepted by Pipers’ goalkeeper, Austin Studor, who was named tournament most valuable player. “We were in their end quite a bit and there were a lot of good chances,” Hanson said. “Their goalie just stood on her head.” It was the first time Oak Bay had reached the B.C. championship match since 2009, when the Breakers lost to North Van’s powerhouse, Handsworth. It was Oak Bay’s fourth silver medal in the past 10 years, during which the team has finished fourth or better five times. Butler and up-and-coming Grade 9 player Holly Goodacre scored in the Breakers’ 2-0 semifinal win over Kitsilano.

School is in session at PISE Sports school trains students with eye on elite competition Travis Paterson News staff

Mornings at school are a little different for Ben Goertzen than they are for his classmates at Pacific Christian School. That’s because the Grade 10 student doesn’t roll into PCS until around 10 a.m. For four of the five school days in a week, Goertzen joins 12 other Greater Victoria students to train at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence in the Canadian Sports School program. The time spent at PISE is credited towards their high school educations. Weightlifting, gymnastics and wind sprints dominate the classes, run by Olympic weightlifter Jeane Lassen. “I’ve seen major improvements in a lot of my life, not just (weightlifting),” said Goertzen, who plays second base for the Victoria Eagles of the B.C. Premier Baseball League. “On the diamond I’m faster and just feel all around stronger. Hopefully I can enroll again next year.” The program is open to elite-minded athletes from all disciplines and runs from September to June. Getting in is a process. Athletes submit a letter of intent and references from coaches before getting interviewed. The program is capped at 25 students, 13 in the morning and 12 in the afternoon, from Grades 10 to 12. “It’s for future Olympians

and international athletes, hopefully,” said Lassen, the class instructor. “Or any athletes who is highly dedicated.” Lassen represented Canada at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and was in London in 2012 but was injured. Instead, she assisted coaching staff helping teammate Christine Girard win bronze. She relocated to Victoria last year to run the program at PISE, which also trains members of the Boardworks diving club. “It’s a lot of technical coaching with weights but there’s also a classroom component,” Lassen said. “Guest speakers, including many Olympians, routinely talk to the students about sports psychology, nutrition and dedication.” Gymnastics and sprints are each once a week while weights are a main focus. “The reason we do weights is because we find the kids don’t have the core strength (at the higher percentiles). It’s also very technical. They do a lot without the weight to build the memory of doing it correctly. Later they can continue to add weight,” Lassen said. What’s remarkable is how well the training transfers to various sports. Grade 10 swimmers Sarah Mabee-Hall and Maddie Powell of Claremont secondary attend. So do Grade 12 Claremont rower Ali Zwicker and Grade 12 Spectrum community school rower Katie Griffin. “It’s not just in the amount of power I put out (while rowing), but the strength also helps with balancing the fine movements that are so important with rowing,” Zwicker said. Same goes for Mabee-Hall, a national level swimmer at just

15 years old. Mabee-Hall qualified for the senior national swimming championships in July, hitting the standard for the 1,500metre. But she has yet to specialize on a particular distance for competition and feels the difference in all areas of swimming, short and long course, she said. “A high-speed tennis serve has been measured as the

equivalent force used in a 75-kilogram jerk (in weightlifting)” Lassen said. “Often people are concerned about young athletes weightlifting but done properly it’s low risk and highly beneficial. “The techniques of lifting are good life skills to have, whether you’re lifting furniture or getting back up from a tackle during a game.” sports@vicnews.com
