Highlands folks worry over water

Langford warns of fire risks Charla Huber

Residents living in the picturesque forest surrounding Teanook Lake are starting to worry about the future of their drinking water. Contaminated soil from the Esquimalt Graving Dock Waterlot started being dumped at Highlands Highwest Landfill on June 17. The landfill is about two kilometres from the homes of concerned residents Neville Grigg and Darlene Sanderson. “This contaminated waste is really scary waste,” said Grigg. Both Highlands residents live on Teanook Lake, which provides their household Charla Huber water. Reporting Grigg’s home has a water filtration system using sand and ultra violet rays. If the chemicals from Highwest Landfill make their way into Teanook Lake he is unsure if the system would filter out the toxins. “We shouldn’t be messing with this stuff,” he said. “The whole aquifer is at risk of being poisonous,” Sanderson said, adding more than 90 per cent of Highland residents are dependent on groundwater. Living so close to the landfill, Grigg is upset he only heard about the Esquimalt Graving Dock remediation project days before the work began. “There was no public consultation and no warning,” he said. The recent flood disaster in Calgary also has Grigg concerned about possible disasters and leaching of the toxins. “If there is a big flood here, immediately adjacent to the landfill is Teanook Creek which feeds into Thetis Lake,” Grigg said.

Smouldering cigarette butts in bark mulch are a common cause of house fires. Fire Chief Bob Beckett recalls a mulch fire two summers ago that caused $10,000 damage. “Fortunately we caught it before it broke into the house,” Beckett said. “Bark mulch fires are usually a problem from June to September, whenever there isn’t enough rain to keep the beds moist.” Langford Fire Rescue says 60 bark mulch fires have been reported this summer. “This is a drain on fire department resources. The firefighters are volunteers and they are at a mulch fire 3 a.m. and then have to get up and go to their full-time job,” said Lance Caven, Langford fire prevention officer. Cigarette butts are to blame for several fires along Bear Mountain Parkway. Fires range from 20 centimetres to three metres long. “You could drive by a (mulch fire) and never see it. Even wind from a vehicle driving by could cause some loose mulch to blow and turn it into something larger,” Caven explained. The City of Langford and Langford fire are working to identify areas along the parkway causing the most issues and solving the problem. Charla Huber/News staff

Hotrod enthusiasts find home in Langford Kyle Wells News staff

Downtown Langford may become the destination of choice for classic car enthusiasts looking to gather on summer Saturday nights. Recently a casual group of classic car and hotrod owners informally meeting at Royal Oak Shopping Centre for years on Saturday nights were handed parking tickets by mall management and told the gatherings were no longer welcomed. The Victoria News reported the situation which resulted in multiple letters and online comments from readers expressing outrage over the mall’s actions. Langford Mayor Stew Young reacted by offering

an open invitation to any car enthusiast who wanted to come to the West Shore on a Saturday night for an impromptu car show. “We don’t have parking metres. It’s free, come on out,” Young said. “Hopefully it turns into something, that Langford gets a bit known on a Saturday night to come cruise by, find a parking spot and talk to people. Do a bit of an old car social.” Last Saturday (July 27) some classic car owners returned to Royal Oak Shopping Centre, while others took the offer in Langford. Young said about 20 to 30 cars parked along Goldstream Avenue. Larry Zilinsky, owner of a ‘32 Ford roadster, said they were once again welcome at

“Hopefully it turns into something, that Langford gets a bit known on a Saturday night to come cruise by, find a parking spot and talk to people.” – Stew Young

Royal Oak but the whole situation has put a sour taste in some mouths. Zilinsky said he’ll likely join those in Langford this Saturday. “From the feedback I’m hearing, I’m tending to think more people are just going to start going out to Langford,” Zilinsky said. “I think they’re just fed up with the people here … management in general. You sort of figure, if they don’t want us

here then why be here.” Royal Oak property manager Victoria Shannon said the mall received a lot of feedback about the issue, both helpful and hurtful. Discussions are ongoing with some of the organized car clubs and she is optimistic an agreement will be reached. “We’re going to brainstorm and we’re going to find a way to do it properly,”

Shannon said. “Regardless of the negative stuff we’re seeing on Facebook, I think we are actually moving forward and moving towards a resolution.” For now, as long as the car owners are respectful and are not parking in the area by Country Grocer, they are being allowed to meet at the mall on Saturdays. Shannon said there was some negative behaviour from the car enthusiasts which led to the concerns, but she believes it was a few ruining it for the many. “For the most part these are just nice retired guys who are into cars. And those are the demographic that we want at our shopping centres,” Shannon said. “This is a really tough thing

and it’s a learning experience, completely, for us. We could have done things better, totally, in hindsight. But there’s trouble on both sides and we’re working really hard to fix that.” Young, a classic car owner himself, went to the Langford meet and talked with people there, who he said were appreciative. He plans to bring his ‘62 Lincoln convertible to take part. “We’re a bit of a car city. Everybody has cars and there’s (Western) speedway here. It’s kind of a culture that we have out here,” Young said. “This is a great event. … It’ll be good for Langford, we don’t have much going on on a Saturday night here.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Alzheimer’s Society seeks West Shore volunteers

Kyle Wells Reporting

diagnoses of Alzheimer’s or other dementia is not an instant death sentence. While the symptoms of the degenerative disease will slowly worsen over time that doesn’t mean those with it can’t lead a fulfilling life over a considerable period of time, according to Carolyn Herbert and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. The society is recuriting volunteers to serve a variety of roles with the organization, particularly to facilitate support groups for caregivers. Herbert, a volunteer, said the focus of the groups is not only on how to deal with the more negative aspects of the ailment, but also how to get the most out of life despite it. “We used to fear the word ‘can-

cer’ and now we’re more comfortable with it. Well, my goal is to eliminate the stigma that comes along with the words ‘Alzheimer’ and ‘dementia.’” With five staff and over 50 volunteers serving about 170 people in support groups, the society is in need of volunteers throughout Greater Victoria. It is also specifically seeking people from the West Shore to help facilitate support groups held there. Support groups are a place for people who are looking after those with dementia to come together to talk about their experiences, share their stories and learn from one another. Herbert started volunteering for the society after finishing her career as a licensed practical nurse and also having come into contact with dementia in her personal life. “Because I got so much support myself, when I retired it just seemed logical this was the organization for me to volunteer with,” Herbert said. Facilitating the groups is an emotional but rewarding experience, as Herbert sees firsthand the benefit the group brings to its members. “They come anxious and angry and frustrated and fearful, and as they share with other members

Kyle Wells/News staff

Alzheimer Society for B.C. support and education co-ordinator Meriel Randerson and volunteer Carolyn Herbert say volunteers are needed in Greater Victoria, especially the West Shore. in the group, some of those who may have been down the path ahead of them, they are able to blossom into more confident caregivers over time.” All new volunteers receive training in Vancouver, on a trip which is paid for entirely by the society. There are volunteer opportunities throughout Victoria, but specifically on the West

Shore and at the society’s headquarters in Saanich on Burnside Road West. Prized qualities for volunteers include being a good listener, being able to help others connect to one another and being well organized. Somebody with previous experience with dementia is also considered to be ideal for a role, as they will have a better

understanding of what the people in the support group are going through. A support group meets once a month at the Alexander Mackie Retirement Community in Langford. More education programs for caretakers will likely be introduced soon, as the population of the area increases. “The West Shore, we’ve had a particular problem starting programs up there and sustaining them,” society support and education co-ordinator Meriel Randerson said. “We will bring them to the West Shore if we’ve got the demand for it … because certainly it’s a lot easier for one or two people from here to go out there than it is for 15 people to traipse here if they don’t have to.” Minds in Motion, a fitness and social program for people in the early stages of dementia, is expanding to the West Shore and will be starting up at West Shore Parks and Recreation in the fall. Volunteers are also needed for the Minds in Motion program. Some programs are starting to be run out of the Metchosin Seniors’ Information and Resource Centre. For more information contact Gabi Townsend at 250-382-2052 or visit alzheimerbc.org. Donations are also always gladly accepted. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Residents ask for third party environmental study Continued from Page A1

Sanderson and Grigg, along with a small group of residents are asking for the work to stop until a third party, independent environmental and healthy impact study, a disaster risk assessment and a ground water study be completed. “This isn’t just an environmental issue, it’s a health issue,” Sanderson said. Sanderson was alarmed when a neighbour told her some sediment was disposed of incorrectly.

On July 20, contaminated soil from the Esquimalt Graving Dock waterlot was deposited in an unlined cell at Highwest Landfill on Millstream Road. “It was an error. We’ve started to scrape and remove all the soil from the cell,” said Andrew Rodych, strategy issue and policy advisor for Tervita. The work was expected to be complete by July 26. Only a portion of the load was dumped in the cell. Tervita has completed six soil tests to ensure environmental safety. The contaminated soil is only to be

discarded in cells lined with plastic to prevent leaching. To ensure it doesn’t happen again, Tervita plans to line every cell at Highwest Landfill by Aug. 3. “This isn’t hazardous waste,” Rodych said. “It just doesn’t have levels of normal soil. It has higher levels of salt and sodium, but it’s not as hazardous as uranium.” “Waste will be transported to the Highwest landfill in trucks that have sealed end gates, so material will not leave the truck. As another level of assurance, addi-

tional vehicles will occasionally follow the loads to ensure nothing is leaving the truck. The drivers of the trucks have extensive experience with waste transportation and will act with the safety of the community and environment top of mind,” said Stacie Dley, Tervita communications advisor, in a previous interview. The sediments are considered contaminated, but not hazardous as defined by the B.C. Hazardous Waste Regulation. Even though the contaminated sediments are being stored in the Highlands landfill, it’s out of the municipal council’s jurisdiction and is being overseen by both the provincial and federal governments. Highlands council requested the federal government fund an independent, professional thirdparty assessment of the landfill’s design and monitoring systems. “We are doing this both for public health and for the environmental protections to be assured,” said Mayor Jane Mendum. The district is in negotiations with the federal government and looking into other options to have the study complete as soon as possible. “All of the regulations in place (for Highwest Landfill) must be satisfied. The provincial regulations are all based on law,” Mendum said. “Of all sites in Highlands this one has the most oversight and it cannot be breached.” Starting in June and continuing until March 2014, 150,000 cubic metres of contaminated sediment will make its way to the Highlands landfill.

Backpack campaign starts early

West Shore blood clinics start today Canadian Blood Services urges West Shore residents who booked an appointment to give blood to honour those appointments. Upcoming mobile clinics at Church of the Advent, 510 Mount View Ave. are today, July 31 and Thursday, Aug. 1 from 1 to 6 p.m. During the summer months,

donors change their routines, take vacations and are involved with outdoor activities, so donating blood is not always top of mind. However, the need for blood does not take a summer vacation. To re-schedule or make an appointment call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

Though it’s mid-summer, the Salvation Army is looking ahead to the start of school in September. The service organization’s annual Backpack and School Supply Drive is underway and the public is encouraged to donate supplies or cash to the cause. The goal is to provide 5,000 children with what they need to start the school year off right. “We have seen a need for it, which is why we have increased (the capacity of) the program,” said Kyla Ferns, communications officer for the Salvation Army. New partners, including Starbucks and the B.C Chiropractic Association, are on board to help expand the campaign’s reach by acting as depositories for donations and information sites, she said. The program handed out 1,000 filled backpacks on Vancouver Island last year, including 250 in Greater Victoria. More local takeup is expected this year, said Pat Humble, Salvation Army’s community ministries director. “A lot of people don’t even know we have this program,” he said. The outreach team received good response when it set up a stand at a pair of recent Music in the Park events in Saanich, he said. Backpacks are stuffed with such standard items as pens, pencils, paper and binders, but Ferns said

Salvation Army communications officer Kyla Ferns and community ministries director Pat Humble promote the summer Backpack and School Supply Drive. extra items including markers, basic calculators and geometry sets enhance the packages. “Anything helps, even something as small as a package of pencils,” she said. “It all adds up.” New school supplies or backpacks can be dropped off directly to the Stan Hagen Centre for Families at 2695 Quadra St. Financial donations can be made at any of Greater Victoria’s three Staples stores, and those who text GIVEBC to 45678 will see $5 added to their mobile phone bill. The drive runs until Sept. 11. For more information, visit salvationarmy.ca/britishcolumbia. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Communication key in hotrod tiff News readers have flooded our Facebook channels with comments supporting classic car buffs from around the region who for years have gathered for a regular Saturday social at the Royal Oak Shopping Centre. The fact Robbins Parking specifically ticketed hotrods parked in the centre’s lot led vehicle owners – and most of those who read about the situation – to voice cries of discrimination against a well-behaved group whose presence actually attracted people to the suburban centre on a quiet shopping night. That the dispute over the use of parking lot space came to a head smack in the middle of Greater Victoria’s wildly successful Northwest Deuce Days event was strictly coincidence. But the timing of the ticketing made for terrible optics for the mall’s operators. As with every situation like this, however, there is more than one side to the story. The centre’s property manager pointed out that the “car show,” despite being an informal gathering, has never been an authorized event at the mall and has been a source of concern for some time, from a parking and safety perspective. To us, it sounds like a classic case of lack of communication between the mall operators and the vehicle owners, many of whom shop regularly at the centre on Saturday evenings and otherwise. In any relationship, when two sides don’t communicate well, assumptions are often made that can dissolve into resentment. Such feelings can be avoided if problems are addressed when they first come up. In this situation, unwitting merchants at the centre stand to lose business over a dispute in which they have no involvement, and that makes no sense. If they hope to avoid a deterioration in their relationship with certain tenants and customers, the mall’s property managers need to find a way to make this otherwise very positive event work. The car owners – unorganized as they claim to be – need to acknowledge their collective impact on the centre and work with property managers on a compromise solution if they plan to continue gathering there.

Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their illfated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and North Vancouver. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

Art Wood, left, Larry Zilinksy and Bob Carter stand with Zilinsky’s 1932 Ford Roadster. The three have regularly attended an informal gathering of classic car owners at the the Royal Oak Shopping Centre for years, but are upset the mall management is trying to drive them out.

Hotrods rev up responses Re: “Hotrods ticketed at popular collector car hangout in Saanich” (vicnews.com) In Friday’s Saanich News I read the story on the front page as well as the letters to the editor regarding the classic cdars. Meeting at Frangelli’s for coffee is a social thing to do on a Saturday night. It’s no different than a bunch of guys with their classic cars meeting at Starbucks. It should be made clear that this isn’t a “car club,” it’s owners getting together for coffee. One big omission from Victoria Shannon of Hansbraun Investments is she fails to mention the British car owners who meet on Sunday mornings at the very same mall, sit in the very same seats, park in the very same spots and drink coffee from the very same coffee shop as the classic cars. I’m trusting she is having Robbins give these British car owners tickets as well? After all, fair is fair. Bev Andrews Saanich

bought more beverages and then opted to buy a few necessities at Country Grocer to the tune of $140. We perused slowly through every single store in the mall as well. By my receipts, we spent $340 in the four hours we were there. That’s $85 per hour, while we egregiously hogged a parking space. I hear that $85/hr is not enough, and the Royal Oak Mall issues tickets to those attending to their mall in any car prettier than a late model beater. No problem. We can easily go elsewhere. I just know there’s a group of businesses somewhere that would love to use this opportunity to publicly open their arms to a well-behaved group with a high level of disposable income, a drawing card that spontaneously pulls paying customers to their locale. Just say “welcome” and we’d love to converge at your place instead. Kevin and Nicole Beaton Saanich

Car enthusiasts brought more than collectible automobiles to mall

No difference between hotrodders and regular customers for mall

Twice last year, my wife and I took our classic cars (1969 Cougar and 1974 Fiat) out for a drive. After driving the scenic route, we ended up at Royal Oak Mall where we met some other auto enthusiasts and spent about two hours there before heading home. I kept my receipts. While we were there, we went into Shoppers Drug Mart to buy some pop and a candy bar but noticed a couple good sales and ended up spending an additional $180. We also bought a spatula at the Dollar Store. A few weeks later we were there again. We

Bark mulch is commonly used in landscaping by municipalities, businesses and homeowners. “Using gravel or lava rock is more expensive, but it lasts longer than bark mulch. Bark mulch breaks down back into dirt,” said Caven adding using rock instead limits fire risks. Caven suggests

A SPLASH of music in the Inner Harbour

MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com

ictoria’s Inner Harbour is a busy one. Ferries, airplanes, kayaks, barges and yachts are all familiar sightings on a daily basis. But each summer for the last 24 years, a special barge pulls up, loaded with the Victoria Symphony and plays host to one of North America’s largest outdoor orchestra concerts — the Victoria Symphony Splash. It’s become a tradition. More than 45,000 people flock to the Inner Harbour with their lawn chairs and picnic blankets, scoping out the best vantage point to view the spectacle of music and light, Sunday, Aug. 4. “Symphony Splash speaks more than anything about the sense of spirit and community that we all have, when we have that feeling of joining together with one of the iconic beauties of Victoria, our harbour, to be surrounded by people, by the water, and the music itself expresses that really special atmosphere,” says Victoria Symphony maestra Tania Miller. “The tradition of where everybody sits, the lawn chairs, the food, there’s all these things that you do year after year. I’m most touched by the people. I go out into the audience well before the concert starts and I always meet with the same people who are virtually in the same spot, who have come for the last 20 years since the early days of Symphony Splash and would never consider missing it. It’s those people who are so dedicated to the special weekend, that special concert and people coming together, that really inspires me. It’s for them that this concert is most meaningful.” Miller will conduct the Victoria Symphony in what is sure to be a crowd-pleasing program, with songs by Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Chopin and even one from a young

Symphony SplaSh - Local composer Jared Richardson’s piece Duel of Champions is part of the program for the 24th-annual Victoria Symphony Splash. The event that draws more than 45,000 spectators to the Inner Harbour is Sunday, Aug. 4. Photo by Hugo Wong. Richardson is a graduate of the Victoria Symphony’s Young Composer Program and Spectrum Community school and has had three pieces performed by the Victoria Symphony. Duel of Champions was first performed in a workshop setting in the spring. “It’s great to see my music played by professionals who’ve been studying their instrument for years, who know what they’re doing and to see what they’ll do with my music when you put it in front of them,” says Richardson. “It’s exciting to see something that originated in my brain spread out to a large ensemble of musicians and then distributed to such a large audience. It’s a great honour.” Richardson wrote the piece in January and says it “captures the spirit, excitement and tension of a competitive event.” The Victoria Symphony Splash Family Zone features activities and music for the entire family in the Inner Harbour from 1-4 p.m. The concert Pick up your dog’s droppings so it does not leave starts at 7:30 p.m., and finishes with behind harmful health and environmental impacts.

local composer, Jared Richardson, 19, whose piece Winds of Kananaskis was part of the 2011 Splash program. “His music is so directly exciting and well orchestrated,” says Miller. “From the first read, you get grabbed by his music and it’s really accessible to the Splash audience. He’s a really creative guy.” Richardson’s piece Duel of Champions will be played in the first half of the program.

ADVERTORIAL

If you think serious injuries just “happen,” have a word with yourself. B

ecause they don’t. Often, they’re the direct result of choices we make—or choices we don’t make.

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

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

require medical attention. Of these, four die, 90 are hospitalized and some 26 are left partially or totally disabled. These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our province. —It’s time for this to change—

Who we are The Community Against Preventable Injuries Association (Preventable) is a community of companies, organizations and individuals that have come together to address this ongoing tragedy, and the incredible

physical, emotional and financial toll it takes on our province. We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that represents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and in-kind support of over 80 companies and organizations.

What we’re doing We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy. Guided by research and best practices, we’ve developed an approach that we hope will help British Columbians connect the dots between their current attitudes and their current behaviour; between their understanding of the inherent risks and the burden of preventable injuries in the province.

By staging provocative, unexOur goal is simple: to change pected events in unexpected the way British Columbians think about preventable inju- places, we want to cut through ries. By raising awareness, the noise and get British starting dialogue, and trans- Columbians thinking about risk and consequences. We forming social attitudes, we want to challenge the idea that want to significantly reduce serious injuries only happen to both the number and severity of preventable injuries in BC. “other people.” We want to speak

to that little part of you—that little voice inside your head— that knows that sometimes, bad things do happen.

We need your help The individuals, corporations and organizations that have joined our community share a concern about this growing epidemic. They also share a conviction that the situation can and must change. We invite all British Columbians to join Preventable and work with us to create a culture where we all look out for each other. Together we can reduce the burden of preventable injuries in BC. Join us. Visit preventable.ca.

Eagles walk off as B.C. champions Sixth-place Victoria Eagles surge to BCPBL championship Travis Paterson News staff

Vinny Martin’s clutch hit won the Victoria Eagles its first B.C. Premier Baseball League championship on Sunday, 3-2 over the Nanaimo Pirates in Abbotsford. It was the moment kids dream about. The Eagles were down 2-1, the bases were loaded and there were two out. Martin stepped into the batters box to face Pirates closer Luke Skingle in the bottom of the seventh, the final inning. “We were really nervous but I knew (Martin) was going to get a hit,” said Brandon Feldman, who pitched the top of the seventh. “Martin is a great curveball hitter and (Skingle) throws a good curveball. Once Martin had two strikes on him, I knew the curveball was coming and he hit it to left field (to win the game).” Mitch Hawkins, Ben Goertzen and Kyle Murai singled ahead of Mar-

tin. Feldman had a pretty good view as he watched from the on-deck circle. He would have batted next if Martin had reached but only scored one, but Goertzen wheeled in from second base to win the game. The championship win was still sinking in for Feldman when he woke up on Monday, only to find out he had been voted by the BCPBL coaches as the regular season MVP for hitting .439 with 54 hits, three home runs, 35 runs batted in and a .507 on base percentage (OBP). “I had no idea I was MVP until I woke up today,” he said Monday. It’s the latest of Feldman’s trophy haul, which includes the B.C. championship as well as the top hitter award from the BCPBL playoffs, where he led with nine hits for a .429 average, five RBI and a .500 OBP. Feldman also hit one of the only two home runs in the playoffs, a solo shot which spurred the Eagles to a four-run rally in the third

the win. The Eagles were shutout by Vancouver Cannons pitcher Brandon Marklund in Game 2 on Saturday, but

bounced back later that day to win Game 3 over the host Abbotsford Cardinals on the shoulders of Riley Edwards’ complete-game shutout with seven strikeouts. It set up an unthinkable all-Island final, with the sixth-place Eagles facing the seventh-place Pirates. “It was kind of expected of ourselves to be in the top four (of the regular season) but we missed it with a bad stretch for the last six games,” said first-year Eagles manager Anthony Pluta. Pitcher Riley Edmonds was named top pitcher of the playoffs and Martin was named MVP of the final for hitting in all three Eagles runs. Martin allowed Zane Takhar to score in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly. “This is a team which is only four years old. It had never won a playoff game and only made it to the playoffs for the first time last year,” Pluta said. “The turning point” was the opening round, when the Eagles took down the second-place North Shore Twins in the best-of-three series, Pluta said. The Eagles shocked the

Twins with an eight-run rally in the second inning of the first game and won 12-7. The Twins took Game Two 8-2 and went up 6-1 in the first inning against Edmunds in Game 3. “I told Edmunds even big leaguers give up five-spots in the first inning then settle down to pitch a complete game. He went four scoreless innings and we scored runs every inning until the seventh to hang on for the (9-7) win,” Pluta said. Feldman and Eagles pitcher Brett Hull are headed to Otero Junior College in Colorado in three weeks, while Martin will join Eagles teammate Eric Hegadoren at the University of B.C., as seven Eagles in all are graduating on to play college baseball this year. Feldman and Martin were both named to the BCPBL all-conference first team as infielders, with Victoria Mariners pitcher Colton Wood. Mariners Jesse Mycock (outfield) and Chris Fouger (utility) were named to the all-conference second team. Mariners pitcher Dan Philips was honoured for throwing a no-hitter this year. sports@vicnews.com

The two are part of the Victoria Gorilla Mortgage Mavericks hosting the B.C. men’s senior A baseball championships at Lambrick Park from Friday (Aug. 2) to Monday. “The provinicials, and nationals, are the ultimate tournaments and are what we play for,” said Burrows, the second baseman from the 2008 national champion Victoria Mavericks. After 15 years in the league Burrows would like another go at nationals. Burrows was part of the 2011 provincial champion Mavericks that came up short at the 2012

Longtime Mavericks league baseball players Sean Murphy and Lanny Burrows are chasing another provincial senior A men’s baseball championship with the Mavericks at Lambrick Park this weekend. nationals in Prince George. “If we can win provincials this weekend we can take a trip to nationals in Newfoundland (for 2014), and we’re pretty excited about that.” The Mavericks are entering two teams to this weekend’s

provincials, all of them made up from players in the fiveteam summer league. Don’t worry about the hunger level, these guys have all played college and/or pro ball, Burrows said. “We’ve got a lot of new

blood this time around from previous provincial winners.” Amongst the new guys are coach Aaron Bonner, a veteran catcher of the league who will lead the Mavericks 1, while another Mavericks league veteran, Kevin Seginowich, will coach the Mavericks 2. One of the most welcome additions is pitcher Jason Gibson, a left-hander home from Louisana’s McNeese State University. “Gibson will be a welcome addition, you need to have great pitc,” Burrows said. The Yates St. Taphouse Beer Garden will be open Friday afternoon and all weekend between the two Lambrick Park fields. Admission to the games is free.

Maple Leafs off to World Games

Submitted photo

Tigers on the floor Ryan Sheridan, left, Nolan Dalep and Angus Connorton of the pee wee A1 Saanich Tigers were selected to Team B.C. and will represent at the 2013 Pee Wee National box lacrosse Championships in Whitby, Ont., Aug. 4 to 10. Over the weekend, Juan de Fuca’s A1 and A2 teams lost in the bronze medal games of the midget provincials in Port Coquitlam.

It’s been a busy summer for Justin Douglas and Lucas Hammond. The two youngsters have been named to the Canadian Maple Leafs for the World Games in Columbia, July 25 to Aug. 4. The tournament, which started in 1981 for sports events formerly or never having been part of the Olympics, includes rugby sevens for now, though it obviously won’t when the sport debuts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Canada’s entry is the Maple Leafs, a development roster with a mix of new and veteran players from the Canadian RWC sevens squad, which won the plate trophy (ninth overall) at the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Moscow last month. Douglas and Hammond are two

of the three returning players from the RWC sevens and are also part of six Maple Leafs who helped Canada’s men’s under-20 to second at the Junior World Trophy Championship in Chile two months ago. Hammond moved to Victoria from Ontario to play for the Castaway Wanderers while Justin Douglas is part of the upstart Abbotsford Rugby club. The other returning player from the RWC sevens is centre Mike Fuailefau of CW. The Maple Leafs warmed up over the weekend by winning the Burnaby Lake Sevens tournament, defeating Burnaby 12-7 in the final. The World Games rugby tournament runs today (Aug. 1) through Friday as Canada face Group A opponents Hong Kong, Colombia and South Africa. sports@vicnews.com

Mature eyes & computers: Are they compatible?

If you see a wildfire call *5555 on your cell. Nearly half of all wildfires are preventable. Please, be responsible in our forests.

Viewing a computer screen clearly and comfortably can be a challenge for users experiencing agerelated vision changes. People over 50 may require prescription eyeglasses designed specifically for computer use. Regular bifocal lenses can provide good distance and near vision but do not function well at those intermediate distances where the computer screen is often positioned. Options for computer users range from monovision or bifocal contact lenses to glasses focused for intermediate and near distance, wide-band trifocals, or even specially designed progressive lenses. Another source of irritation for older computer users can be dry eye. Aging tends to make the eye drier, and this condition can be aggravated by the tendency of computer users to stare at the screen and therefore blink less often. Artificial tears can bring relief. Mature computer users should discuss their requirements and vision-related difficulties with their optometrist, who can find them the best solution.

Pattison donates $5 million to Victoria Hospitals Foundation Daniel Palmer News staff

One of B.C.’s best-known businessmen has pledged the largest donation ever received by the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. On Tuesday, philanthropist Jim Pattison revealed he’ll provide up to $5 million to be used for state-of-the-art equipment and training at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Patient Care Centre. The 500-bed facility serves about 10,000 people every year. “The Patient Care Centre is a health care centerpiece in this community, a model for other facilities around the world and one that I am very proud to support,” Pattison said in a statement. To recognize the donation, the facility’s atrium

and concourse will be christened with Pattison’s name. “We are deeply grateful for Jim Pattison’s incredible generosity,” said Leslee Farrell, Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign co-chair. The funding campaign now sits at $18 million of its $25-million goal, Farrell said. More than 2,500 people have donated to the Patient Care Centre since the campaign kicked off in 2011. “Now it’s up to all of us in the community to give what we can and match this wonderful gift,” Farrell added. For more information or to donate to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation, call 250-519-1750 or visit buildingcare.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Sex assault centre opens to transgender people Big changes are coming to the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre, as organizers get ready to move and open the doors to another segment of society. After a three-year search for funding, the centre was awarded a $120,000 three-year grant by The Vancouver Foundation, which will help the service provider become more accessible

to transgendered people. The grant money will be used to provide services for transgendered people, including a parttime position for a trans inclusion co-ordinator. That worker will oversee a community consultation, review of services and policies, organize re-branding, staff and board training, and create a communications plan with

community education. “There were women-only services and men-only services, and while both … have always served transgendered people, it hasn’t always been a place of comfort,” said Lenore Kennedy, the centre’s resource development manager. The grant money will be doled out at $40,000 over three years.

Consistently voted Best of the City Japanese Village

Family continues the Japanese Village tradition After growing up in the family business, there was little doubt that when the time came, Jessica Sogai would be the one to see Chef the Japanese Village Warren through its next years welcomes as one of Victoria’s you to the favourite restaurants. Japanese That she could share that with her husband, Warren, Village who has been the restaurant’s chef for 12 years, makes it all the sweeter. On its opening in 1975, Jessica’s father first managed, then owned, the Japanese Village, quickly establishing the restaurant as one of the premier establishments of the city’s dining scene. From the start, the Teppan-style steakhouse has delighted diners not only with the delicious Japanese cuisine, but also with the theatrical efforts of each table’s personal chef who cooks and serves the meal right in front of their eyes. For those who prefer a more intimate dining experience, a quiet lunch or dinner is as close as the dining room, or pull up a stool to watch the expert sushi chefs in action at the sushi bar. “We are very passionate about our work here,” Warren says, noting that the freshest fish arrives regularly directly from Japan. Jessica agrees. “We have families who have been coming here since the restaurant opened and are now bringing second and thirdgenerations to experience the creative talents of our chefs, both those working the grill and those behind the sushi bar.” Of course, newcomers are always welcome, and will find much to tempt their palates, whether it’s shrimp or steak grilled to perfection or the restaurant’s famed Tuna Tataki, served with the house special Ponzu sauce. Building on these long-standing favourites, Warren keeps the menu fresh and ready to suit today’s diners as well, Jessica says, pointing to items such as the soy paper-wrapped sushi options for those sensitive to iodine in the seaweed. “I love being able to put new flavours and textures together and see people’s reactions as they find a new favourite,” Warren reflects. Consistently voted Best of the City for Japanese food by the Victoria News readers, the Japanese Village welcomes guests weekdays for lunch and daily for dinner, when steakhouse guests enjoy an expanded show from the talented teppanyaki chefs. And if you’re marking a birthday or other milestone, be sure to ask about their special samurai or geisha celebration, complete with photo! For more information or to book your reservation, call the Japanese Village at 250-382-5165, stop by at 734 Broughton St. or visit online at www.japanesevillage.bc.ca
