Bottle return program rewards Dunsmuir students in myriad ways Charla Huber News staff

Lifeskills students at Dunsmuir middle school are getting a double dose of winning. The class is receiving a second $1,000 prize from Victoria Bottle Depot on Glanford Avenue. It’s the first time the school has won the prize. “It’s absolutely exciting. It motivates our students and teaches them the importance of recycling,” said principal Yushi Wallace. “This gives them purpose, responsibility and ownership of the school.” For the 2012-2013 school year the school won first place in the Encorp B.C. High School Recycling Program. Throughout the year the school sent its bottle depot receipts and reports on the recycling efforts of the school as part of the contest’s stipulations. At the end of the school year Encorp gave the school a $1,000 cheque and now the Victoria Bottle Depot is matching the donation. Students voted to use the winnings to help

Grade 8 students Ben Sivertson, left, Gabrielle Lindsay-Dickson, and Roman Daldaz are some of the top recyclers in the province along with their other Dunsmuir middle school Lifeskills classmates. They have won $2,000 for their recycling efforts. build Christmas food hampers for West Shore families, purchase more recycling bins for the school and still have a few hundred dollars left. “The kids will vote on what they want to spend it on. It might be to go on a special field trip,” said Lifeskills teacher Erin Larson, adding they may also want to donate some of it to another charity. The Lifeskills students spend two days a

week collecting recyclable beverage containers from all the classrooms and then one day of sorting. The bottle refunds help cover the cost of the Lifeskills students weekly field trips. “Our goal is to have the students be comfortable in the community after they graduate,” said Larson. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

The City of Colwood is looking to buy the land where a landmark department of national defence building once stood. The 1930s-era building near the bridge on Ocean Boulevard sat unused since 2006 and was torn down last week. Department of National Defence says the building had to be demolished because it was in poor condition and was no longer of any use. The cost to repair the building was too much to justify restoring it, as opposed to the cost of tearing it down. The land the building sat on is also eroding, making the building a liability, said Cpt. Jenn Jackson. “It’s in poor condition, it’s expensive to repair,” she said. The building foundations were left, said Colwood CAO Chris Pease, because removal could destabilize the land. Any underground tanks will also be removed or filled.

The quantum leap out of the lab Moving technology into public use a long process Edward Hill News staff

Like any great invention, Thomas Fyles discovered his by accident. In the late 1990s, the University of Victoria chemistry professor came across an agent that kills algae and barnacles to prevent buildup on the hulls of boats, but yet it biodegrades into a nontoxic fertilizer. Commercial applications of an environmentally friendly antifouling agent are potentially lucrative and vast, from sailboats to supertankers to oil rigs. But flipping a technology from the lab into a viable business is no easy task. UVic has been touted as one of the most creative universities in Canada, and yet only a small fraction of its big ideas will see the light of day. Researchers at UVic work with UVic Industry Partnerships, an office helping scientists disclose and patent intellectual property, and moves those innovations toward commercialization by collaborating with industry and government. As Fyles points out, patience is a virtue when it comes to

Don Denton/News staff

Mechanical Engineering professor Peter Wild sits with equipment in a UVic lab for testing fiber optic pressure devices, part of research that he is seeking to commercialize. developing technology for the real world. He and Robert Rowe of RhoCraft R&D received their original patent in 2003 for an antifouling compound, and brought it to UVic IP in 2005. In 2012, more than a decade after its discovery, the technology was licensed to GreenCentre Canada in Kingston, Ont., itself a government-funded entity that further validates chemical compounds before licensing to private industry. “All technology takes forever. There is no such thing as an

instant process,” Fyles says. “The business of technology transfer is complicated. There is a huge gap between a company taking on risk and what a university is doing in technology development. UVic Industry Partnerships tries to bridge that gap.” Kathy Veldhoen, vice-president of UVic IP, agreed it’s always a challenge to secure funding to move an incubating technology from the lab to a “proof of concept” device – the point where private industry would be more likely to invest.

“It’s a long-term process with any university related technology,” Veldhoen says. “It can take anywhere from a few years to over 10 years to see something come to its full potential.” The university has seen it share of successes – in the past two decades UVic IP has processed 800 invention disclosures, helped file 400 patent applications and spun off 62 companies in an array of high-tech fields, from magnetic refrigeration to medical biosensors to non-toxic herbicides. “UVic has an amazing wealth

of research expertise and programs,” Veldhoen says. “With (private) companies it’s a relationship building exercise. It’s a long-term process and it’s challenging because it’s a big world out there.” Revenue generated for UVic from technology licences remains relatively minor – $2.6 million over about six years. Total research funding for UVic hit beyond $100 million in 2011-12 alone. Veldhoen notes high cash returns from university technology isn’t the norm – the ultimate goal of industry partnerships is to enhance education and research on campus, and to add to the economy through high-tech spinoff companies. Peter Wild, a professor of mechanical engineering, admits after years of hits and misses, he’s tempered his expectations on developing a commercially viable technologies. These days he and UVic IP are working with a company to commercialize fiber optic pressure sensors, the size of the diameter of a few hairs, for use in medical devices. “I’m an applications guy – I’m motivated by the sense that there is a user for what we are doing,” Wild says. “And there is a huge benefit for the students to get involved in the commercialization process – disclosing inventions, dealing with patent agents and talking to companies.”

Post-secondary populations showing healthy growth Edward Hill News staff

The University of Victoria is seeing a significant bump in student enrolment this year, especially in the faculty of engineering. The university has a 13 per cent increase in new full-time students for the fall semester, or about 520 people. About 4,500 students are on campus for the first time this month, out of more than 20,000 total in undergrad and graduate studies. “This is a banner year,” said Wendy Joyce, director of UVic undergraduate admissions. “We are seeing a healthy trend.” Engineering programs have the biggest increase in new students, Joyce said, up 35 per cent. Those numbers should tip that faculty to more than 1,600 students.

Joyce said staff haven’t yet analyzed underlying reasons for this year’s uptick in enrolment, but she noted that UVic aggressively markets itself across Canada and the world. Enrolment is also swayed by the job market and the health of the economy. UVic enrolment stats show the campus saw a burst of new students in 2009, but that flatlined over the past three years. Comparing fall 2011 and fall 2012, UVic saw virtually no net increase in students. “At different times we may get more of an influx out of province or more U.S. students depending on the politics happening in the States,” Joyce said. “The unemployment rate is also a factor when people decide when to attend school.” Any increase in the student body is generally welcome by businesses, landlords and restaurants in the city. UVic’s economic impact report released

last year estimated that the campus’s 15,000 full-time students contribute about $177 million per year in direct spending in Greater Victoria. Camosun College’s Lansdowne and Interurban campuses are on track to see an influx of at least 11,440 students on par from last year. The majority are from south Vancouver Island and other parts of B.C. “Camosun is very much a local community college,” noted Joan Yates, Camosun’s vice-president of community engagement. Like most post-secondary institutions in B.C., Camosun markets itself to international students, more than 800 for the upcoming semester. Half are from China, and the remainder split between emerging and large economies – South Korea, Japan, India, Brazil and Mexico. Camosun also has a 6.5 per cent increase in aboriginal population this year. The

college aims to have aboriginal students make up at least 10 per cent of its student population. Royal Roads University has a different ebb and flow of students than UVic and Camosun, and expects about 2,500 full-time equivalent students though its blended online and on-campus graduate programs and on-campus undergrad programs. RRU started aggressively recruiting international students a few years ago and is starting to see results – 450 for this fall versus 270 last year. Scenic RRU is continually adding on-campus undergraduate programs similar to a traditional university, but “even when we build this ... out to capacity, Royal Roads will still be primarily a graduate school with blended programs,” noted Steve Grundy, RRU vice president, academic and provost. editor@saanichnews.com

Langford fire extracts injured Calgary man

A Calgary man wound up in hospital after a fall in Goldstream Park Friday afternoon. After slipping on some rocks at Goldstream Park, the man in his 50s was left with a broken ankle. Langford Fire Rescue was called in by B.C. Ambulance at 1:30 p.m., Sept. 13 to help carry the man out. Six firefighters and two paramedics transported the man in a basket stretcher to the waiting ambulance on the side of the Trans Canada Highway. The injured visitor was taken to Victoria General Hospital. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Fox run raises funds

Crash closes Malahat The Trans-Canada Highway was shut down in both directions for about an hour Monday morning after a four-vehicle collision near Finlayson Arm Rd. at 9:20 a.m. At Gazette deadline police were still investigating the incident, but said three people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and that speed may have been a factor in the crash. The highway reopened around 10:45 a.m.

Glass or plastic lenses Once you have your prescription for eyeglass lenses there are a number of decisions you must make. Perhaps one of the most important is whether to have your corrective lenses made out of glass or plastic. Today, in Canada, most spectacle lenses are made of plastic. Plastic lenses have improved so much over the last 20 years, that plastic has become the lens material of choice. If glass lenses are chosen it is imperative to get shatter resistant lenses. There is no such thing as shatter-proof glass. So, for occupations that require safety eyewear, glass is not acceptable. Plastic lenses can absorb much more punishment. Some plastic materials are extremely safe and therefore afford good protection in certain high risk occupations. Both glass and plastic can be made in “thin” or high index materials which are more practical for strong prescriptions. Because plastic is softer than glass, there is a misconception that plastic lenses will scratch easily. This does not have to be the case provided proper care is taken. Elaborate cleaning measures are not necessary, just simple common sense precautions. Plastic lenses will not become scratched from normal use; they get scratched when exposed to abrasives. Today’s scratch coatings make plastic lens surfaces very durable. Ask your Optometrist about the different types of lens materials available for your prescription.

The building was constructed in 1938 after an earlier building burnt down. At one point the site was the home of a pub called The Dugout. DND took over the building in 1942 and used it as a naval college. In the 1960s it was used as married quarters, later by the 4 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group and finally as a fleet maintenance facility from 1993 to 2006.

that the building was allowed to deteriorate to the point where it could not be feasibly saved. Bates said the building was constructed by a member of the Buxton family, a well-known name in Victoria military history. “Unfortunately what happens is they let them sit for so long that they become neglected to a point where there value is decreased,” Bates said. “They should have thought of that when they emptied it out. … That’s quite a landmark building, you (could) see it from around Macaulay Point.”

With the building down, the City of Colwood started talks with DND in hopes of buying the land. “What we want to do is make the whole spit a part of a larger park, and this is the last bit that we would like to get a hold of,” Pease said. “So it’s pretty exciting from our perspective.” DND will likely ask for the assessed value of the property, but Pease hopes that because the land would go to public use, and has a limited lifespan due to erosion, a deal may be sorted out. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Three arrested after Langford home invasion

Royal Roads adds to governing board

Kyle Wells News staff

A targeted home invasion resulted in the arrest of three suspects, who allegedly used a firearm, body armour and bandanas to rob a Langford home early Monday. A resident who thought a home invasion might be taking place in his neighbourhood, Wild Ridge Way in Langford, called RCMP at 1:37 a.m. The caller saw a vehicle being driven with no headlights on and noticed people dressed in black with faces covered running from a neighbour’s house. An older-model red Toyota Tercel had just left the area, the caller told police. On the way to the scene, at 1:46 a.m., an officer spotted a car matching the description near Kelly and Sooke roads. With the assistance of a VicPD canine crew, officers arrested the three occupants of the car in a high-risk takedown arrest. The three males remain in police custody. Two are 18 years old and are from Colwood and Langford. The other is a 17 year-old Victoria youth. All have had prior run ins with the police. One suspect wore body armour when arrested and another had a hunting knife. A pellet handgun and an extendable baton were also in the vehicle. Police discovered one of the residents of the robbed home had been outside when the thieves arrived. She was told to get on the ground and told police she saw the suspects had a gun. The invaders then entered the basement suite of the house. No one else was home. Police say the woman is fine, but shaken. “When people show up with faces covered and direct and demand people take certain activity, it causes trauma and some anxiety,” said West Shore RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. The suspects stole a large amount of property from the suite, including cash, jewelry and electronics, before taking off. All three face possible charges of possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, robbery, break and enter with intent, possession of property obtained by crime, possession of body armour and wearing a disguise with intent. Police say the suite was targeted but it isn’t a residence they’ve dealt with before. In a potentially related call, at 5:30 a.m. that day police were called out to the corner of Painter and Metchosin roads in Colwood. A resident found items near the side of the road including a sawedoff shotgun, bandanas and a toque. Police can’t say for sure if the items are related to the home invasion, but say it’s likely. Home invasions are not unheard of on the West Shore, Rochlitz said, but they do happen. She estimated the last one was around four months ago. “(We are) truly appreciative of the citizen who called to report the situation to us,” Rochlitz said. “Their information helped us locate these three males quickly and without incident.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Festival furor part of the deal Rifflandia, the increasingly popular music festival that took over Royal Athletic Park and other outdoor and indoor venues last weekend, was heard far and wide by residents of Victoria, Saanich and even Oak Bay. While the event attracted thousands of happy concertgoers, not everyone enjoyed the tunes pumping from the speakers at RAP and behind Phillips Brewery on Government Street. Police departments and the city bylaw officials fielded dozens of calls about noise levels, from neighbouring residents and even those who live well away from the outdoor venues. Based solely on that record, some might jump to the conclusion that the festival has overstayed its welcome in Victoria. But one has to look at the other side of the equation before passing judgment. Not only does the festival provide economic benefits to the city and region, the efforts organizers make to create an environment that is respectful, flexible and family friendly is commendable. City staffers confirmed this week that the festival operated within the limits from a decibel perspective, outside of a handful of times when they were told to turn down the volume, which they did promptly. Residents of Victoria have seen festivals come and go, for various reasons. Here we have a festival lauded as a well-run, family friendly event – not without its bumps and challenges – that has the potential to further enhance the city’s image as a musical haven for established and up-and-coming performers. Festival producers Atomique Productions, familiar with the city’s tendency to listen closely to residents’ complaints, are well aware that any missteps could cost them an opportunity to hold future concerts at this venue, which has proven to be its most popular based on numbers. It’s in their best interest to play by the rules, and so far they have. If we want to continue attracting important cultural events such as this, we need to grin and bear it for a few days, tough as that can sometimes be. What do you think?

In August, I reported that as many as 20 of B.C. Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally. In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

Renters the clever ones in today’s market

Anti-union column good argument for unions

Re: Curing a community cash crunch (B.C. Views, Sept. 11) Tom Fletcher was making good sense about property taxes being a huge burden on seniors and other people with fixed incomes. Indeed, Mr. Fletcher has become so mellow that he even criticized property tax increases being passed on to “poor renters.” Hey, wait a minute, renters are the clever ones these days. I’m the reluctant landlord of a couple rental units, and the going rents these days barely cover the mortgage payments, insurance, water and garbage. In spite of the inflated optimism of B.C. Assessment, the property value has dropped so much I now have virtually no equity, just debt. In short, the credit union owns the property, the renters get to live in it, and I pay all the property taxes, maintenance, repairs and appliances, all from my pension. Yes, you can laugh, it’s ridiculous. Perhaps other landlords are faring better, I honestly hope so. Rent increases are restricted by the Residential Tenancy Act to two per cent this year, and it’s not worth hitting excellent tenants with an increase which could create a squeeze for their finances, cause resentment or even trigger their departure. In the end, we’re all in this together, and it’s a relief to see municipal governments finally noticing yearly increases create serious hardship for property owners on fixed incomes. I hope Fletcher and the Goldstream News Gazette will keep us posted on the progress of this issue at the UBCM. My dream is B.C. municipalities will commit to freezing tax levels, and living within what residents can afford. Under that pressure, the province may be more inclined to take them seriously and resume revenue sharing for infrastructure. Lois Gardner Sooke

Re: Back-to-school labour woes (B.C. Views, Sept. 4) Tom Fletcher’s column accurately demonstrates the merits of a union. CUPE has successfully obtained a long list of benefits for their members including a starting wage of $17.50/hour with monetary compensation for overtime and additional qualifications. In addition the employees have secured a pension, a benefits package and paid holidays. The growing gap between public and private employee wages and benefits can only be closed if private workers accept the only reasonable solution is to unionize. While big box stores continue to pay minimum wage and offer no or few benefits it is a mystery why more people don’t take the time to read such convincing articles as Mr. Fletcher’s and recognize the benefits of a union. Let Mr. Fletcher do the whining and the rest get wise. Unionize! Richard Davis Saanich

Listen to your citizens on sewage plans

So the sewage treatment project is going ahead, despite the public’s hesitancy to support it as it stands. I really only have one major question for the Capital Regional District and the region’s mayors and councillors: Are you people deliberately trying to incite a taxpayer revolt? Or are you so patronizing that you think we will follow like sheep? Let’s keep in mind being elected doesn’t automatically elevate you to the status of gods, except perhaps in your own minds.

Top chefs, musical headliners featured at Gold Medal Plates News staff

Top-level B.C. chefs, big-name Canadian musicians and Olympic athletes are on the menu for the Gold Medal Plates event, set for Nov. 7 at the Victoria Conference Centre. The culinary and wine tasting event, part of a national series of chef competitions that lead to the Canadian Culinary Championships, is a fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, which funds the Own the Podium program. “They call it Canada’s biggest kitchen party,” says regional event co-ordinator Aidan Henry. Singer-songwriters Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, and Barney Bentall are confirmed for the event and a number of Olympic athletes, past and present, will be on hand. Henry says the Nov. 7 gala has the potential to be Victoria’s premier social event of 2013, comparing it to last year’s David Foster Miracle Concert. The B.C. region Gold Medal Plates competition, held in Vancouver for the past couple of years, will see 11 chefs – including locals Garrett Schack from Vista 18 and Kunal Ghose from Red Fish Blue Fish – vying in Victoria for the right to move on to the national championships in Kelowna. Event chair Bruce Courtnall says he attended a couple previous Gold Medal Plates events in Vancouver and Kelowna, as did brother Russ, a 1984 winter Olympian in hockey. When national organizers expressed their desire to test the waters in Victoria for 2013, Bruce was asked to lead and assemble the local committee. The city’s experience hosting such celebrity fundraisers as the Courtnall Classic and Foster’s Miracle Concert, and the Capital Region’s connection to Olympic athletes, made the decision an easy one, he says. “I think a lot of us forget how many Olympic athletes we’ve had

in our city, from Simon Whitfield to Adam Kreek and Silken Laumann,” Courtnall says. “(This event) is for the benefit of the athletes.” He calls the gala a “win-win” for everyone involved, from the chefs to the attendees to the athletes.

United Plastics program seeks cleanup crew Way targets $6M Don Descoteau News staff

Don Descoteau News staff

With nearly 20 years’ involvement with United Way, Jim Schneider knows well the reach the nonprofit organization has within a community. As the 2013 campaign chair for the United Way of Greater Victoria, he is the public face for an agency that funneled roughly $4 million into area service providers last year. “The United Way has got the history of being the social safety net for our community,” he said. “I’m a big believer in us all supporting and helping our community. You have to grow where you live.” Yesterday, Schneider helped unveil this year’s campaign slogan Are You an Agent of Change? and announced the $6 million 2013 fundraising goal – roughly what was raised last year. “The beauty of Victoria isn’t our ocean and the beautiful area, it’s our people and the caring and the giving,” Schneider said. “We all know there are challenges out there, but time and time again the community rises to that.” Greater Victoria workplace campaigns will ramp up soon.

A group hoping to monetize the collection of discarded plastics for community and environmental organizations is a step closer to making its goal a reality. PlasticShore, a youth-driven Victoria initiative that is working with industry to find uses for the pellets created in the plastics recycling process, is recruiting volunteer groups to do community cleanups for charity. Plastics for Change, a pilot program running until the end of September, has 12 community groups signed up so far, said Andrew Almack, managing director for PlasticShore. “We’re looking to get more participation and more plastics going into the system,” he said. “It’s a good start. We’re feeling pretty confident of having enough to make a production run later this year.” Encorp Pacific, operators of Return-It Bottle Depot, has signed on to be the collector of the plastics and arrange for it to be pelletized, Almack said. As well as removing plastics from the environment, the goal is to return money – raised through the

sale of the plastic – to charity and environmental groups, he said. An advisory board is being formed to determine the direction of funds to such groups. Groups interested in tackling a

he fourth annual Latin American and Spanish Film Week hand picks some of the biggest Latin films from around the world and screens them at the University of Victoria’s Cinecenta until Sept. 22. But don’t call it a festival, says organizer Prof. Dan Russek of UVic’s Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies. “Because our event is such a manageable size, usually about five to seven films, it allows us to choose from some of the very best movies,” he said. Spanish Film Week is here to stay as Russek and UVic compatriots formed the non-profit Hispanic Film Society of Victoria to help ensure it’s future. “We wanted to create this to go beyond the classroom and academia and into the community, and films are a great medium for that,” Russek said. “We’re not just targeting students, everyone is welcome, and all films are shown with English subtitles.” Anchoring this year’s roster is Blancanieves, a black and white, silent movie adaptation of Snow White that won 10 Goya Awards (the Spanish film awards) including Best Film in 2012. Blancanieves will wrap up Film Week on Sunday with 7 and 9 p.m. showings.

It should have been in the same conversation as The Artist, which won the Oscar’s best picture award, but didn’t come out until later. The re-imagination is set in Southern Spain in the ‘20s and is a personal drama about a young women, Carmen, who fights different odds with quirky elements, including a group of dwarf bullfighters. “Snow White began filming before The Artist but finished afterwards, he feels bad that Snow White arrived later. It shows that you can do a great movie, black and white, and silent. The Artist went on to prominence so it’s a shame, Snow White could have earned more discussion as they are contemporaries,” Russek said. Tonight’s showing is Spanish Film Week’s first animated feature, Chico y Rita. The animation captures the flavour and lighting of Havana and New York City, as the protagonists move between the two. “It has great visuals and the jazz music, and the movie really, is an homage to Bebo Valdes, the piano player who was involved in making the movie,” Russek said. Chico y Rita, which dates back to 2010, won multiple Goyas and an Oscar nomination for best animated film. View the full lineup at hispfilmvic.ca, or visit cinecenta.com for more.

Rifflandia noise within limits: city official

Rafts of complaints heard in region

Kate Friars, city director of parks, recreation and culture. “It’s not a normal weekend for us, but we feel the operators operated within their decibel (limit).” Saanich police were “inundated” with noise complaints over the weekend from both Saanich and Oak Bay residents, said Sgt. Steve Eassie. Callers were referred to Victoria’s 24-hour bylaw enforcement line. “One lady even said her windows were shaking,” Eassie said. “There’s very little we can do from an enforcement standpoint given that these events were taking place outside the jurisdiction.” Decibel monitoring took place every half hour at Royal Athletic Park, while regular monitoring was

Daniel Palmer News staff

Despite a flurry of noise complaints over the weekend, City of Victoria officials say a four-day music festival rocked well within its sound limits. Rifflandia wrapped Sunday afternoon in Royal Athletic Park, while night stages at Phillips Brewery on Government Street, and Market Square, were open Thursday through Saturday. “We’re figuring it’s upwards of 75 to 80 (noise) complaints … within our own department and through Victoria Police Department,” said

completed in Fernwood, Jubilee and North Park where complaints were reported in past years, Friars said. “We did have four spikes in the park during the weekend for a short period of time. Those were brought to the attention of the organizer and they brought it down right away,” she said. Friars said Atomique Productions, which produces Rifflandia, are “a great group of people to work with” and respectful of noise concerns. Bowen Osoko, VicPD spokesman, said officers were busy both at Rifflandia and several outdoor events in Esquimalt, but there were no major incidents to report. “We had a large presence (at Rif-

flandia),” Osoko said. “We went early and often and as a result, there were no problems that escalated.” VicPD didn’t keep track of liquor pour-outs or minor incidents over the weekend, he said. Parks officials will now turn to restoring the grass at Royal Athletic Park, which was soaked by heavy rains two weeks ago and again on Sunday. “We’ve had to cancel a couple of football games for this coming weekend,” Friars said. “We’ll have a better sense once they get everything down from Rifflandia, but certainly we’re looking to try and get the field back up and running, I’d say within a few weeks.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Dinner theatre returns to hotel

The season looks savory at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel for the 2013-2014 dinner theatre season. The theatrical season opened on Sept. 13 and runs with four different shows until April. The performances will be in the David Foster Foundation Theatre, paired with themed threecourse meals. Tickets are $89 per person. Season tickets are also available. A portion of every ticket goes to the David Foster Foundation, helping Canadian families of children awaiting major organ transplants, as part of the hotel’s 10-year $2 million commitment to the foundation. The line-up: A Night at the Savoy – September and October. A Night at the Savoy takes guests back to 1944 for a visit to the Savoy ballroom and performance hall in New York City, celebrating the music and performers of the swing, show and big-band era. The show features the musical sounds of Victoria’s Dock Side Drive alongside radio personality Barry Bowman. Guests will be ushered into a live radio broadcast, and entertained by the swinging sounds of Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, The Andrew Sisters, Nat King Cole and more. It’s Christmas – November and December. Celebrate the season with It’s Christmas, a sparkling musical holiday revue featuring historic stories and heart warming music that is sure to fill guests with the spirit of the season. It’s Christmas is written and produced by Matthew Howe, and features some of Victoria’s brightest rising stars. Time Benders – January and February Tom Watson’s Time Benders has been bringing audiences to their feet for decades, featuring cameo performances from Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and more. The Oak Bay Beach Hotel put in a special request for Watson himself to take centre stage once again, and he will be there. Guests will laugh and dance to the antics of this talented group of performers. Tribute to Nashville – March and April. A unique opportunity to bring a different Nashville star to the David Foster Foundation Theatre stage every weekend will bring audiences a little taste of what it is to live, work and play in the recording capital of the world. Buddy Greene himself has selected some of Nashville’s most renowned recording artists to join him on stage. Guests will feel as though they were transported to Nashville for a few hours and undoubtedly acknowledge the incredible impact that city’s recording industry has had on cultures around the world. Tribute to Nashville is the first in what is hoped to be many years of spring theatre seasons featuring artists that are living the dream and reaching for stardom. editor@oakbaynews.com

Vic runner changing strides

Catrin Jones, a contender to win next month’s Victoria Marathon, finished sixth overall in the 10-kilometre race at the World Francophone Games in Nice. It’s the latest success for the long distance runner who won Squamish’s Arc’Teryx 50K ultra last month.

Crashing ahead Canuck kids win silver, bronze at U23 Worlds Travis Paterson News staff

Ellen Pennock is making a name for herself as one to watch on the international triathlon scene. At just 20-years-old, Pennock won silver at the under-23 World Triathlon Grand Final in London, England on Thursday. It’s part of a massive day for the Canadian women with three in the top-five as Amelie Kretz won bronze and Joanna Brown was fifth. The trio raced most of the bike and run together, an impressive feat considering Pennock’s effort to recover after she crashed her

bike on the first corner. “I crashed twice at my first junior worlds so I thought, ‘Here we go again,’” Pennock said. “But I got back on and got with the second pack so the ride was good. We worked awesome on the bike and did a lot of work for the pack. (Brown and Kretz) are so strong, they were pulling their fair share.” The three Canadians ran with a group of six, including gold medal winner Charlotte McShane, who pulled out the win by 1.5 seconds over Pennock and Kretz. “I felt awesome in the run, on the last corner I tried to pull a ‘Paula Findlay’ and run it in but I didn’t have the finish,” Pennock said. Last year Pennock finished 13th at the World U23 final. It follows a strong Canadian history as Kirsten Sweetland, a training

partner of Pennock’s, won silver at the same race in 2010. “This is Amelie’s first U23 (world championship) and she came third with (Brown) right there, no other country had three in the top 10,” Pennock said. The group spent the summer training in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, under the watch of Triathlon Canada, thanks to Own the Podium’s support. Pennock is now due back for some “mad catching up” in the third year of her Earth and Ocean Sciences major at UVic. “There’s nothing quite like walking off the plane and smelling (Victoria’s) fresh, clean salty air. That, and the bakery section at Thrifty’s.” Victoria’s Matt Sharpe finished 24th in the men’s under-23 Grand Final on Thursday.

Victoria based triathlete Ellen Pennock, a former UVic Vikes athlete who moved here from Calgary, spent the summer training in Spain and has a bright future in Canada’s triathlon program.

An increase in numbers has bumped the Belmont Bulldogs into the AAA tier, the highest competitive level of play in the B.C. High School Football league. And the team is ready, says coach Kevin Harrington. The Bulldogs are coming off three wins in the preseason and take on the West Vancouver Highlanders at 4:30 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 18) at Gaudy Turf, the upper field of Langford’s City Centre Park. “It’s our first competition at the AAA level and we’re going in with a positive outlook,” Harrington said. They’re also going in with a smoking hot running game that scored six touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 48-35 win over the Ballenas Whalers on Saturday, a strong AA team out of Qualicum/Parksville. “We know Ballenas will be good at their level so we feel confident. We powered the ball on the ground against them for 339 yards,” Harrington said. Leading the charge are Grade 12 running backs Jordan Worth, who racked up 209 yards rushed and four TDs against Ballenas, and Sam Varao, who rushed for 130 yards and two TDs. The Bulldogs won two other preseason matches, trouncing the AA Pitt Meadows Mauraders 35-6 and beating Central Linn 35-26 during a trip to Oregon.

When the Six Nations Chiefs stepped into Bear Mountain Arena for Game 1 of the Mann Cup two weeks ago it was a culture shock. The barn was alive with a pulse the Chiefs’ hadn’t experienced before, with nearly 3,000 people screaming for clover. But slowly, and surely, their patience and will turned the series around with a win in Game 2 which, coincidentally, is when

The Chiefs embraced it, though they don’t have them back home. “A lot of controversy came out over the drums because some of our fans didn’t like them but I’m glad they didn’t ban it, it’s great atmosphere,” Heyes said. “It’s tough playing in a barn like this but when you’ve got the support we have, all the drums and our native brothers and sisters that came to support us, it’s not home but it feels like home,” said the Chiefs’ Cody Jamieson, named the Mike Kelly Memorial Trophy award winner as the series MVP.

It ended with the Chiefs’ 8-5 win in Game 6 on Friday. “There’s a lot of would-a-could-ashould-a,” Shamrocks coach Bob Heyes said on Monday. “We were 10 minutes from Game 7, where all of a sudden it’s a winner-take-all game. The atmosphere was electric and would have been over the top, I think we would definitely would have come out the winners.” The drumming, led by a crew of First Nations lacrosse fans from the Island, was the lace that tied the series together.

Native Friendship Centre benefits from $10K sports, recreation grant Kyle Slavin News staff

Purchasing a brand new football, volleyball or kayak comes at a price. And for a non-profit organization like the Victoria Native Friendship Centre, that price isn’t within their annual budget. “On average we spend $300 to $400 (annually) on upgrading some of our sports stuff that we need to replace – pool cues and maintenance things, but not to buy new equipment,” said Jeanette Mercer, youth services team leader at VNFC. “What we own is basketballs and a couple footballs, and that’s it. … They’re used so much that they wear out really fast.” This year, VNFC scored $10,000 worth of new equipment courtesy of a Canada Dry Mott’s Let’s Play grant. “It’s an amazing gift we’ve received from them,” Mercer said. “It provides tremendous opportunities to our community. A lot of aboriginal people in Victoria navigate many issues and have really limited access to sports, mostly due to poverty.” Mercer expects some 350 people use any number of the services at the VNFC, and says most, if not all of them, will benefit from this donation. Late last month, children who use the VNFC had the opportunity to dig through piles of new footballs, soccer balls, basketballs and volleyballs to play with them for the first time. Kayaks and gymnastics mats were also donated. Mercer says it’s tough in the current economic

climate to find money and grants specifically for promoting an active lifestyle. “There’s no way we could get $10,000 (worth of equipment) without this grant,” she said. “This is just going to increase physical activity in our community, and accessibility to children and youth and their families.”
