Aerial rescue on Hwy. 1 bridge View Royal ladder truck helps police bring troubled man to safety
Arnold Lim/News staff
Front-row fans let their feelings be known during the Saturday night set of Billy Talent at Rock the Shores in Colwood.
Crowds rockin,’ rowdy, but good-natured Spectators at third annual Rock the Shores pass the litmus test for open liquor rules Arnold Lim News staff
Rock the Shores has left the building. Tom Cochrane, Billy Talent and Our Lady Peace have performed, the food trucks have long moved on and the stage that was once front and centre for tens of thousands of screaming fans, has been packed up for another year. The event has grown from a one-day event with The Tragically Hip headlining, to a three-
day event featuring 23 bands, increasing traffic at and around West Shore Parks and Recreation in every imaginable way. Organizers did their homework for the event. Last year’s well-publicized complaints, from hundreds of ticket holders being stuck in line while opening acts played, to long and slow-moving beer lines, to a dearth of washrooms and places to fill up water bottles, were ironed out this time around. Even changes to liquor laws that allowed for open alcohol any-
where onsite, effectively eliminating fenced beer gardens, weren’t an issue, according to West Shore RCMP. “As with any large-scale event, we are monitoring service levels – people drinking and partaking in the event – and this year has been very similar to previous ones,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. She added that no “negative effects” were seen as a result of the liquor rule changes. ‘We determine it to be a success when we have no major inci-
dents involving ourselves. What we have seen is consistency (with prior years) … We have noticed no major change for the good or the bad.” St. John’s Ambulance divisional superintendent Martin Wong said they had 14 or 15 attendants in the field at any given time, guided by a dispatcher working out of the command centre with the RCMP and Colwood Fire Department.

View Royal Fire Department’s aerial ladder truck was needed late Saturday to help police safely bring a man to the ground who was sitting on the ledge side of the Helmcken Road overpass across the Trans-Canada Highway, potentially ready to harm himself. Just before midnight, West Shore RCMP received several 911 calls from the public voicing concern that the man, 22, was ready to do something drastic, especially given his location on the traffic bridge. Police arrived and began talking to the man, who was reportedly resistant to talking or receiving help. Officers were able to secure the man, but due to the precarious position on the overpass, the fire department was called to provide aerial assistance. Firefighters on the ladder used a safety harness to secure the man and allow him to be brought back over the railing to the roadside on the bridge. The man was transported to nearby Victoria General Hospital for care. The rescue saw police block the northbound lanes of the highway for about 30 minutes while the operation took place. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Recreation staff tackle summer hunger
Westshore Parks and Recreation staff met their own personal challenge when it comes to helping out their community. Aware that attention to local food banks is focused on “giving” during the Christmas season, staff at the recreation centre ran a food bank challenge in June in recognition of a need that exists all year round. Staffers ran a competition between four departments and collected more than 1,600 items for donation to the Goldstream Food Bank. “I felt staff had a lot of fun with the challenge; demonstrating amazing generosity,” said Kristy MacKinnon, aquatic co-ordinator at West Shore Parks and Recreation. “They were thrilled with the contribution they were able to make.” Food for the Goldstream Food Bank can be dropped off at local grocery stores, or directly in the basement of the Royal Canadian Legion at 761 Station Ave. on the first three Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the month.

Fire season on the West shore
Rain not enough to wash out fire risk No wet stuff on the horizon, meaning residents need to take even more care Angela Cowan News Staff
Just because it rains, it doesn’t mean it’s safe to burn, said Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. Open burning has been closed since May in the district, but the Metchosin Fire Department has already dealt with four sizeable brush fires this summer, as well as a number of beach fire and outdoor burning complications. “The biggest trouble is when it rains a little bit, and people think it’s okay to burn,” she said. “People need to realize rain doesn’t make it safe to burn again. Not the amount we have, and then the winds dry it out very quickly too.” Beach fires are still permitted, provided they’re no bigger than two feet around and out by midnight. No beach fires are allowed on any CRD beach at any time. “Bring your own firewood, no bigger than you’d put in your fireplace. Bring a bucket, and make sure the fire is completely extin-
guished,” said Dunlop. Don’t burn the big logs on the beach, as the fire can keep burning for hours unseen, she said, and don’t burn pallets. “All that does is leave nails for little kids to walk on in the morning.” Next door in Colwood, all burning is prohibited now, including campfires, beach fires and construction waste fires, and there are no fires permitted at Esquimalt Lagoon, or in any city parks. Insp. John Cassidy, assistant chief for the Colwood Fire Department, also cautioned that contained outdoor burning appliances, such as chimineyas, are not permitted when the fire rating is high or extreme. “Enforcement is stepping up for the summer and we will find and charge people,” he said. As the weather continues to heat up, even the few areas that allow campfires and beach fires are likely to dwindle. Dunlop stressed that if people want to have a fire, they need to call ahead and make sure they

Since May, the only burning allowed in Langford has been campfires, but that hasn’t stopped sparks from flying all over town and keeping the fire department busy. “We’ve had five bush fires so far (this summer), or more, and 23 bark mulch fires,” said Deputy Fire Chief Kerry Zado. Bark mulch fires commonly occur in garden areas and can flare up in both residential or commercial spots. A recent fire at Brown’s Social House took hold on a strip of garden between the pub and the roadway. Medians filled with rain-starved flowers and tinder-dry bark mulch on the highways also pose a danger.
“A lot of (these fires) are on the Bear Mountain parkway,” said Zado, “and that’s just mainly careless smoking.” Reiterating cigarette butt safety, he also emphasized that all open and yard burning is completely prohibited now and for the rest of the summer season. Just two weeks ago firefighters responded to a bush fire that was threatening a handful of homes. They called in the forestry department for assistance. A couple hours of rain isn’t enough to lower the fire risk, Zado said, and errant sparks can quickly turn disastrous. Neighbouring municipality View Royal isn’t taking any chances. They’ve had a 100-percent ban on all burning for 12 years. As summer continues to heat up, a full fire ban is likely to take effect covering the South Island and residents are reminded to be vigilant about fire safety. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Concert goers were well behaved Continued from Page A1
More than 200 patients were attended to over the three days, mostly for such minor things as insect bites and eye washes for people with sunscreen in their eyes. But Wong said there were a few faintings and a handful of heat-related illnesses to intoxicated individuals, with tempera-
tures rising well past 30 C over the three days. Open lines of communication between concert promoter Atomique Productions, West Shore RCMP and West Shore Parks and Recreation staff, as well as other partners, was key to making the large-scale event safe as possible, Rochlitz said. Police made 17 arrests in all:
15 were for public intoxication, one was for an outstanding warrant and another for a breach of probation. There were also a handful of confiscations of small amounts of marijuana. By comparison, there were 12 arrests made over the two days of the festival in 2013. alim@vicnews.com

Rock festival’s growth inspiring So, Rock the Shores 3 is in the books and from most reports it was a rousing success. The job of staging a massive music festival is not an easy one, and without a doubt, organizers have already been debriefing about what went right and what could be improved upon for next year’s event at West Shore Parks and Recreation. The gradually increasing attendance from Friday through to Sunday was likely more a factor of musical offerings as anything else. Friday headliner Tom Cochrane, a grizzled veteran of the Canadian pop scene, doesn’t attract the same crowd as newer bands such as Billy Talent or Our Lady Peace, the top acts performing on the subsequent days. Determining the musical lineup for such a wide-ranging festival can be a difficult challenge on its own. But perhaps the biggest experiment undertaken this year was not expanding Rock the Shores to three days from two, but allowing patrons of legal drinking age to carry their booze into the all-ages crowd. Not needing to set up a beer garden to keep the drinkers separated from the non-drinkers clearly made life easier for festival organizer Atomique Productions, but it was also a way for them to prove to liquor officials that they understand their clientele well. Helped by what appeared to be an expanded police presence to keep a lid on things, Atomique and West Shore Parks and Recreation hosted crowds that were, by and large, well behaved, with a modest 17 arrests made – 15 for being drunk in public. That bodes well for keeping the festival on the site in future. Unlike other regional festivals that shot themselves in the foot by trying to grow too fast and ultimately running out of money to continue, the Rock the Shores crew have developed their event slowly, but surely since the thunder, lightning and rain-plagued first event in 2012. It continues to be a positive place for young people and the young at heart to spend some good days in the summer. What do you think?

One reason why
claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Sewage, solar plans befuddle resident The ongoing sewage debate has Colwood wanting to go on its own and build a sewage treatment plant near the Juan de Fuca recreation centre by excavating under the park ’n’ ride. Why on earth would the municipality consider excavating under the B.C. Transit Park and Ride when there are two perfectly good “holes” already in place? There is one on Wale Road where a highly touted condo development never materialized, and an even bigger hole at Goldstream and Island Highway where the contentious Capital City Centre development barely got up to street level. All the digging has been completed and both could accommodate the proposed six-storey commercial-residential building on top. We are assured there would be no noticeable odours from the new facility and that clever planning would ensure reclaiming and reusing water, adhering to Colwood’s ‘motto’ of We’re Cleaner and Greener (but not necessarily smarter). This would be a win-win situation for us beleaguered and bewildered taxpayers. Also, your article (People of the Sun United, Gazette July 11) with an update on Solar Colwood’s progress to date was certainly not one to convince us that this is a viable program. The numbers don’t add up and apart from winning awards, the number of homeowners who have signed on is not impressive. If Colwood is that committed to greener and cleaner, let’s start by making sure every new building project, commercial or residential, will be built with solar panels on the roof before a building permit is issued. Speaking of building, is the new Royal Bay secondary to be fitted with a full solar panel roof? Just wondering. Pamela Jackson Colwood

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation
Don Descoteau/News staff
Signs for the Silkwood development at 2708 Wale Rd. next to the Galloping Goose Trail lie in a heap on the edge of the water-filled site. The triangular piece of land, which Colwood council rezoned some years ago to allow for a 23-storey residential tower, is listed for sale for nearly $4 million.
Caution signs should be more clear about direction There isn’t a lot of writing on the yellow caution sign indicating children playing, near the elementary school on Wishart Road. But it is a sign indicating a playground area that drivers will be coming up to. There is a similar sign further down the road on the other side of the school, and there is one on Owen Road, also before you get to the playground. This is an area where, as File photo Sign indicates speed indicated, you slow down to limit and potential 30 kilometres per hour every daylight hour of the year. encounter for drivers.
I should say, you are supposed to slow down during those hours. Many people do not. In fact, many people do not slow down at any time of the day. This is a playground area where our children and grandchildren are supposed to be able to play in safety, protected from racing cars and trucks. And it is supposed to be a safe area every daylight hour. To give some people the benefit of the doubt, I do know that it is a school area and some may think the sign
indicates a school yard and that there are certain hours where your speed is restricted. But again, this is a playground sign. The speed restriction is in effect every daylight hour. Please pay attention and slow down. And yes, I agree that we should go back to when these signs actually had printing on them to indicate just what they meant, instead of the pictographs we use now.

The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers. The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers. UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision. If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes. Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more serious. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a clouding of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible. The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun. To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation. Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

Rugby Canada general manager Mike Chu said the organization appreciates the “outstandingâ€? support it receives from the City of Langford and the Greater Victoria area. “It’s so important for Canada to be able to host events like this, and the year-round support we get ‌ is a huge part of that success. I know that support will continue when this tournament comes back for its third consecutive year,â€? he said. Greater Victoria rugby club team premier level teams provide a number of players to the Langford-based national program, the West Shore doesn’t have its own club yet. The Velox Valhallians club plans to move its base from Gordon Head to West Shore Parks and Recreation in 2015. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
Softball Stingers earn B.C. silver After putting on a show on the final day of the girls under-19 provincial C softball championships, the View Royal Stingers ran into one hot team in the gold medal game. Coming off four straight wins in which they piled up the runs, the Stingers had a tough time solving the Cranbrook Heat’s pitcher and lost the final 5-1. The turning point in the game, played July 6 in Richmond, was a controversial play on a two-out popup to the Stingers’ first baseman, said View Royal coach Chris Kueber. The ball was being played in foul territory, but the hitter ran through the bag and collided with the Stingers player, who was shaken up, but stayed in the game. The Heat went on to score four runs and held their opponent at bay. “Their pitcher was good,� Kueber said. “We left the bases loaded twice; we just couldn’t finish it.�
View Royal went 3-1 in round robin play, then lost a 3-2 nailbiter to the Richmond Panthers to open the double knockout playoff round on the Saturday night. The Panthers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh for a walk-off win. Sunday was a different story for the Stingers. They began with a win over Alberni Valley, defeated Richmond Attitude, then gained a measure of revenge against the Panthers, winning 16-2. That set up the semifinal, where View Royal edged the Gibsons Crusherz 7-5. “The bats came alive on Sunday for sure,� Kueber said. “We couldn’t hit Saturday, then on Sunday we were a different team.� The Stingers have nine players eligible to return for next season, with only four aging out of the U-19 category. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Top-level rugby is returning to Langford this fall. Rugby Canada has announced its Canadian Centre of Excellence on Langford Parkway will host three doubleheaders in October as part of the International Rugby Board’s Americas Rugby Championship. Team Canada ‘A’ will line up against the USA Selects, Uruguay and the four-time defending champion Argentina Jaguars in matches set for Saturday, Oct. 11; Wednesday, Oct. 15 and Sunday, Oct. 19. The ARC matches have traditionally offered fans a chance to see some of Canada’s top senior men’s players as well as up-and-coming younger athletes who have gone on to compete in the Under-20 world championships, IRB Sevens Series or on the senior men’s team itself.
How affordable is threading? Adult eyebrow trimming and cleaning is only $10 and takes about five to six minutes. The upper lip is $5; forehead, $6; chin, $8; sideburns, $10; and cheekbones for men, $10. The full facial treatment is $30. That’s easy on your pocketbook, while you leave easy on the eyes!

Numerous summer camp options From soccer to swimming, West Shore Parks&Rec. has it Angela Cowan News Staff
Between rock climbing, glee camps, and even secret agent training, kids will have plenty of opportunity to keep busy this summer. West Shore Parks and Recreation has dozens of options for toddlers to teens for virtually every interest. World Cup-themed soccer camps are available for preschoolers up to pre-teens that include skill development, mini games and a World Cup t-shirt. Those with an interest in the theatrical arts can practice their singing, dancing and acting at the glee club. And mad scientists and spies in training can participate in camps that introduce forensic science, chemical reactions and spy equipment like metal detectors and night-vision goggles. Other camps include 3D animation training where preteens and teens put together their own short film, chess camps for beginners and intermediate players and Marine Discovery Adventures, which takes participants to Pearson College for a week of hands-on marine learning. Teens can rock climb and

First aid and Foodsafe courses are also offered. “We give them a lot of options and variety to choose from,” said Alex Matthew, recreation coordinator for the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. “I think it’s important to get kids involved with the commu-

It gives them a chance to make friends and get out and do things they might not have the chance to do at home.” The centre also offers Roving Play Parks, a free program available to six to 12 year olds that travels to different parks all over the city every day.

Unique courses abound at University of Victoria Students looking for something different have options Kyle Wells Special to the Gazette
Of all the unique communities one can find in Greater Victoria, few are more identifiable than our local universities and colleges. Bubbling forth with ideas and creativity, by their very nature universities create community by providing a central location, set borders and a common goal. They can also be places with a pretty original outlook on the world, reflected in the often quirky classes offered. Some courses at the University of Victoria, for instance, focus on subjects most people wouldn’t immediately think of as academic, but delve into interesting aspects of modern society. The Fine Arts department offers a technology and society class on Mario versus Minecraft: The History of Video Games, as well as a new course on the representations of time travel in popular culture. In the Humanities department, students can choose to study motorcycle culture and literature. The English course looks at literature, Internet culture, movies, history and anthropological and sociological research, all relating to the twowheeled vehicles that have long captured our imaginations.

Anney’s Closet completes a circle of giving Charitable organization helps women in need Arnold Lim News staff
Anney Ardiel saw an opportunity. She saw teenage girls aging out of foster care, women leaving abusive relationships, teen mothers and at-risk women left with next to nothing. Ardiel also saw seniors downsizing their homes and their belongings, which sparked an idea marrying those needing to give with those in need. Anney’s Closet was born. “When (girls) hit a certain age support is discontinued,” Ardiel said. “We found a fit that made sense for everyone.” With the backing of Soroptimist International Victoria/West Shore, a group of women focused on enhancing the lives of women in need locally and internationally, Ardiel helped found the program. As Anney’s Closet celebrates a year of facilitating community donations of household items, and passing them on to women living through challenging times, she said it’s been an empowering experience for everyone involved. “(Seniors) are always losing. They have lost their hearing, they’ve lost their vision, they’ve lost their drivers license and now they are losing their home and a lot of their things. (Anney’s Closet) provides them an opportunity to give something, rather than be a victim that is losing, to be someone who is giving to the community. Recipients are referred through advocate partners who include the Ministry of Chil-
Anney Ardiel, stands inside one of four storage lockers that make up Anney’s Closet. The lockers are filled with donated items which are handed out free to women in need of household items for starting up new homes and new lives. Arnold Lim/News staff
dren and Family Development, the Boys and Girls Club and the Victoria Women’s Transition House among others. Clients come to the U-Lock Mini Storage in Colwood, where the program stores donations to their “free store” in four donated lockers. The goods are shipped to U-Lock free by Foster’s Moving & Storage. Everything from cutlery, furniture and lanterns to books and kitchenware is laid out in the lockers. Recipients take whatever,
and however many household items they need. Soroptimist president Jennilee Brack said this first year has been memorable. “It is a feel-good project that gives back on many levels,” she said. “We are able to help multiple demographics and the reach is quite large. We are dedicated to helping women and giving back to local girls and women in the community.” The one-year anniversary, being celebrated with a barbecue from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Saturday (July 19) at U-Lock Mini Storage, 1621 Island Hwy., will highlight what Ardiel called a story of community. “The girls who come to the Closet are also giving up a lot to leave the home that they have been in.

Giving to charity ingrained in Colwood man United Way celebrates its longtime donors Don Descoteau News staff
Colwood resident Harry Prior personifies the meaning of dedication and commitment. He sat shoulder to shoulder with fellow donors to the United Way of Greater Victoria who were honoured last week with a special tea at Government House marking their 25 or more years of support for the community non-profit group funding agency. Prior, 94, tops the list of United Way Red Feather donors, having been a regular contributor since the organization’s inception in 1937, an incredible 77 years. “It all started with my wife and myself, and when the children came along, we used to have them go up and down Hillside knocking on doors and asking people (to give),” he said. His two sons now have families of their own, Prior said. The red feather was adopted in 1949 as a national symbol for United Way fundraising and community building. At that time, donors often wore a red feather during the annual fundraising campaign to show their commitment to humanitarian giving. Prior, who calls United Way one of his “pet charities,” was one of 475 donors celebrated for their quarter century or more of giving to the organization. For more information about donating to the United Way or getting involved as a volunteer, visit uwgv.org. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Grocer open for business on the West Shore With staffers behind him, Quality Foods director of operations and co-founder, Ken Schley, speaks last Thursday at the grand opening of the company’s latest store, at 977 Langford Pkwy. near City Centre Park. The company, mostly based in mid and north Vancouver Island, has brought between 75 and 100 new jobs to the West Shore with the new store and is the second high-profile retailer, along with Capital Iron, to move into the plaza vacated by the closure of two furniture stores in 2013.

The Devils were up 1-0 through most of the game, but couldn’t hold off the mainland squad in the late innings. Following round-robin play, the eighth-place Devils 2000s drew eventual champion and top-seeded White Rock Renegades to open the double-knockout round Saturday evening. The teams were deadlocked at 1-1 through eight innings, before White Rock scored one in the ninth to win it. “That was a fantastic pitching duel, with great plays both offensively and defensively,” Bobroske said. “It really got us going for today and we got our bats going.” The Devils opened Sunday with an 11-3 win over the Delta Heat 2001s. Delta had lost the winner’s bracket semifinal against the Surrey Storm 2001s, last year’s under-12 B.C. champion. The Lightning, seventh after the fourgame round robin, lost their first playoff game to the Storm 2001s, but rebounded to beat White Rock’s 2001 team 8-0 on Sunday. Langford came up against a tough Richmond Islanders squad next, however, and were eliminated with an 8-0 loss. White Rock 2000s captured the title with a 4-3 win over Richmond, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Richmond had eliminated the Storm 2001s with a 5-1 win in the loser’s bracket final. Paddy Strandlund, head coach of the Devils 2001s and tournament co-ordinator, was pleased with his team’s performance as well. The first-year U-14 team went 2-2 in round robin play – their two wins came over their older clubmates and the Lightning, both of whom finished well ahead of them in South Island league play. “They’re excited to come back next year,” he said of the younger Devils. Overall, the tournaSpecials in effect until July 31, 2014 ment came off without a hitch, Strandlund added. Not only did the large number of volunteers do yeoman’s work all weekend, spectators were treated to some high-quality play, he said, considering the Prices subject to change without notice. players are just 12 and 13 years old. editor@goldstream gazette.com
Victoria Devils 2000s and the Langford Lightning, saw their progress stopped a few wins away from the finals – they tied for fifth out of 13 teams. Nonetheless, the experience was valuable, said Devils head coach Kevin Bobroske. “The expectation coming into provincials was that if we played well against the Vancouver-area teams, we’d feel like it was a successful tournament, and we did that,” he said Sunday, after his team was eliminated with a 4-1 loser’s bracket loss to the Ridge Meadows Pride.

With the regular season winding down and first place theirs for the taking, the Victoria Shamrocks still make time for their fans. More than 100 young lacrosse players between the ages of 6 and 14 descended upon the 100.3 The Q Centre, where Shamrocks senior players and coaches led the inaugural Shamrocks Open 2014 Minor Lacrosse Camp. “I think it’s important for the Shamrocks to give back to the community. Historically, they’ve had such a big presence,” said Shamrocks attacker Rhys Duch. “I just think it’s important to reach out and support them, like they support us on game day.” Duch, one of the top scorers in the Western Lacrosse Association, teammates Corey Small, Dhane Smith, Jon Harnett, Karsen Leung, Cody Hagedorn and head coach Bob Heyes, among others, drilled potential future Shamrocks for four days last week. “I think the instruction we can give them is second to none and it’s just going to help them grow and help grow the sport,” Duch said. “I still remember a lot of the lacrosse camps from when I was growing up … They are memories that the kids build.” Campers learned everything from basic stick technique, transitions, running and shooting to using teamwork, during a full scrimmage. The camp is about developing both skills and Shamrock players’ relationships with the fans, Duch said. “It’s enjoyable. The kids are fun and they bring a lot of energy to us. I think we get just as much out of it as they get from us,” he said. “It gives you a bit of a young feeling. Yeah, we are tired at the end of the day, but the energy they give you and just seeing the love for the sport
