A sea of children five years old and younger is swamping the West Shore.

For September 706 students registered for kindergarten in the Sooke School District. It is very close to last years numbers, but

in 2008-2009 school year the kin-dergarten enrolment was 574. The number keeps growing and super-intendent Jim Cambridge antici-pates its continuing rise.

“Every year we plan for the number of kindergarten students we are getting in,” Cambridge said. “This year we are losing 500 Grade 12s and increasing by 200 kinder-

garten students. We are trying to create room.”

Some elementary schools such as Happy Valley and Lakewood elementary schools are already at capacity for kindergarten stu-dents. Some students even liv-ing near these schools will have to travel to attend a school with room.

“We are telling new parents to these areas that there is no room at the school, but we can accom-modate for older grades,” Cam-bridge said.

SD 62 planned for the growth, Cambridge said crediting it to to “changing trends.”

“In the Wishart area, a lot of families moved in 15 years ago

and now their kids are grown up, but the families didn’t move,” he said explaining why some, includ-ing Wishart, David Cameron and Savory elementary schools, have room to accommodate new stu-dents.

View Royal Fire Rescue is join-ing forces with other municipali-ties and organizations to raise awareness around the issue of emergency preparedness during the sixth annual Emergency Pre-paredness Week, May 5 to 12.

The week kicks off with an afternoon of displays and dem-onstrations at the Juan de Fuca seniors centre, 1767 Island Hwy. on Sunday, May 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The goal of the event, and the week itself, is to showcase the four pillars of emergency man-agement, which are preparation, mitigation, response and recov-ery.

“We want to bring awareness to the importance of emergency preparedness,” said Lt. Troy Mol-lin, emergency program officer. “We want to educate the public

on things that they can do to be prepared for an emergency or mitigate some of the risks and hazards of their area.”

Mollin says the public can expect an array of displays from organizations including the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, as well as plenty of activities for kids.

Mollin also encourages people keep their eyes open, as differ-ent municipalities will be hosting events throughout the week.

View Royal fire department will also facilitate two emergency preparedness workshops on Wednesday, May 8 at municipal hall, 45 View Royal Ave. The first runs from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the second from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

For more information or to reg-ister for workshops email [email protected] or call 250-479-7322.

Man attacked with bear spray

A 38-year-old man was attacked in the 1900 block of Bear Mountain Parkway, April 19 just after 5 p.m. Police say the victim was punched, pepper sprayed and stuck with a baton.

Two suspects were arrested in a traffic stop. West Shore RCMP say the attack was provoked because the victim owed one of the sus-pects money.

Two men, one from Shawinigan Lake and the other from Victoria, were released with a court date.

Not much stops Tony Embelton from hitting the road in his roomy Toyota Avalon. The 91-year-old cruises to Cordova Bay to visit friends, to church or other social events around Greater Victoria, day or night.

Embelton has 70 years behind the wheel and the retired school principal prides himself on being a careful, steady motorist who isn’t intimidated by heavy traffic, aggres-sive drivers or bad weather – unlike many of his peers.

“I enjoy driving. I always have,” Embelton said. “Although I didn’t start driving until late, until I was in the army (in 1943). My parents didn’t have a car.”

Embelton is one of 125 senior-aged volunteers in Victoria, and 928 in Canada, participating in Can-drive, a study on how to improve driving safety and quality of life for seniors.

Associated with the Centre on Aging and based out of the Can-drive office at the University of Vic-toria, the Capital Region is among seven cities in the five-year pro-gram and a prime recruiting ground due to its large population of older residents.

Participants go through a battery of cognitive, reflex and perception tests, and volunteer information on their health and well-being. Their cars are rigged with a GPS and a memory card to record data on driving habits.

“Part of the questions they ask here is: do you drive at night? Or in the rain? I wonder why they ask that,” Embelton said at the Can-drive office. “If you are careful on the road, what difference does it make?”

For many of the seniors in the study, being careful doesn’t cut it anymore. At least 40 per cent have restricted their own driving, with the majority opting to not drive in bad weather, at night or in heavy

traffic. Many simply feel unsafe on the

road, have failing eyesight or have experienced “near misses.” Some have been advised by family or their doctor to not drive.

“There is a perception in the community that older drivers aren’t changing and there should be more regulations. We are seeing that people are becoming more mindful and choosing to keep safe, and limit when and where they drive,” said Holly Tuokko, the director of the UVic Centre on Aging and lead on one of the sub-studies for Candrive.

Tuokko’s research digs into the process behind why seniors self-restrict or abandon driving. Her work could help inform govern-ment policy around senior drivers, and help drivers decide when they should opt to stay off the road.

“People don’t just decide one day to stop driving. There is a process,” she said. “We’re looking to see if it’s the case that people are aware of changes, and then make their own choice to take themselves off the road if they don’t feel safe.”

Although male drivers between 16 and 25 by far cause the most mayhem on B.C. roads, ICBC stats

show that older drivers may drive less, but per kilometre driven, they tend to crash at rates similar to young people. And for that older demographic, crashes are more likely to be fatal, or lead to broken bones and a long recovery.

“We want to keep people on the road for as long as possible, but safely,” Tuokko said.

A broader goal of Candrive is to develop a tool for doctors to assess if their patient should keep driving.This tool will be developed out of the many volunteer tests.

“We hope to see which assess-ment tests correlate with safe and unsafe drivers,” said Phyllis McGee, the co-ordinator for Candrive at UVic.

Although not indicative of his driving record (one speeding ticket decades ago), Embelton admitted he hit a deer that leapt in front of him while driving in a line of traffic through Mount Douglas Park. The timing could have been better.

“There was fur stuck to the car when you came to see me,” McGee deadpanned as he spoke to Embel-ton.

“Bit of evidence there.”[email protected]

in nature, the Westshore Watershed Society is in the process of creating some

informative signs for Langford trials and lakes.

“The signs will point out sig-nificant trail features like the native plants and flora and fauna,” said Douglas Rowe, president of the Westshore Watershed Society. “We want to inform the public and pro-

tect the species from incidents and accidents.”

The society is working with the City of Langford, who granted $1,000 for the project, to determine where the signs will be posted.

The proposal includes 12 signs to be installed at the beginning of sev-eral trails in the city.

The society plans to have the signs installed by summer.

Things are looking good for Peter and Jane Hammond on receiving the third temporary commercial use permit ever granted by Metchosin.

“We have approved it in principle,” said Mayor John Ranns explaining council has requested the district planner draw up a permit. “We want to see what the permit will look

like.”The permit is expected to

allow for a 66-seat restaurant with the ability to seat people outside on the Rocky Point Road farm. It would also stipu-late hours of operation. Ranns said it will be similar to long-time local eatery My Chosen Cafe.

Council also tentatively approved a roadside stand for goods made on site to cater to people on the Galloping Goose trail.

Other stipulations could include the facility being dark sky friendly.

“Nobody opposed this (at the April 15 meeting),” Ranns said.

A TCUP is good for three years and can be renewed once.

Metchosin denied the Ham-mond’s request to hold assem-blies including weddings, con-ventions and meetings.

Council has asked staff to look into the issue district-wide.

“Right now no one can have a commercial wedding legally in the Metchosin,” said Ranns add-ing council is often requested for permission to do so. “Wed-ding can be a source of neigh-bour complaints.”

“We don’t have a lot of room, but we will be a pickup school. No matter what school you get into every school in the district provides a very high calibre edu-cation, social responsibility, new initiates and literacy to its stu-dents,” said Jane Penn, princi-pal of Savory elementary school. “The new k’s will be a part of all the vibrancy of this growing

district.”Since adding the French

immersion program to Mill-stream elementary this year, that school is at capacity as well, Cambridge said.

In 2015 SD 62 plans to move Grade 6 students out of elemen-tary school and into middle schools.

“That will give some relief in two years,” Cambridge said. [email protected]

Platforms ignore low-cost child careThis week the B.C. Liberals and the NDP

laid out their platforms on how they would help mould and support the

youngest minds in the province.The Liberals are offering more of what

they’ve been doing, which on the whole has been a boon to young kids and their parents, at least for the past few years.

Under the Liberals, the Ministry of Education has implemented full-day kindergarten, and introduced free StrongStart programs into schools for toddlers and parents, which are overseen by early learning educators.

Leading into the election, the Liberals are pledging $34 million more for existing Success by Six programs (threatened with deep cuts in 2010) and about $10 million per year for three years to encourage more licenced day care spaces.

The NDP is looking to reroute money promised by the Liberals for registered education plans, and direct it to families, about $70 per kid per month for the lowest income bracket. It also vowed $100 million to reduce child care costs by 20 per cent.

Despite committing plenty of cash for child care, neither party (nor the Greens or Conservatives) have dared to announce anything along the lines of universal child care.

Arguably, a B.C.-wide subsidized licenced child care program would be a natural continuation of publicly funded education happening now, such as StrongStart, Success by Six, full-day K and the Grade 1 to 12 system.

As opposed to topping up existing programs or giving relatively small amounts of cash to people with kids, creating truly affordable child care could make the greatest difference in the lives of working parents.

Child care subsidies already exist for low-income families, but a universal low-cost system could finally free parents from calculating if returning to the workforce after a maternity or paternity leave is worth the typically high monthly cost of child care.

The benefits of quality early childhood education are touted by educators across Canada. The federal government has abandoned any notion of creating universal child care. Our provincial leaders need to take on the challenge.

Skilled and educated work-ers are B.C.’s most critical resource.

Our 11 public colleges are committed to produc-ing graduates with the advanced skills and educa-tion to meet the demands of B.C.’s labour market.

Our college system offers innovative, world-class education right here in our own backyard.

This is not easy or with-out cost but the payoff is worth it. A highly skilled and educated workforce will fuel our economy and enhance our competitive advantage at home and globally.

On Vancouver Island, shipbuild-ing, technology, tourism and con-struction companies are experienc-ing growing and immediate demand for skilled workers. This is where colleges play a key role.

At Camosun College work is underway to ensure that innova-tive education is not just a strategic buzzword but a reality.

Their new Centre of Excel-lence for Teaching and Learning is designed to support innovation, enhance student learning and facili-tate partnerships with communi-ties, businesses and industry.

This collaborative component ensures that programs are work-place relevant and that the supply of job-ready workers meets the growing provincial demand.

Post-secondary institutions need to adapt and innovate to meet stu-dent needs. An excellent example

is Camosun’s innovative new E-PPRENTICE Cook program deliv-ered through a blend of online and

workplace components allowing students to obtain their training and certification in a more timely and practical man-ner than traditional deliv-ery methods.

The success of the E-PPRENTICE program has led Camosun Col-lege and other colleges throughout B.C. to ask: What other innovative delivery options can be explored to better meet the needs of students and

employers? Already more than 50 per cent

of Camosun’s courses include a technological component and the college is looking at other oppor-tunities. With the recent $8-bil-lion federal shipbuilding contract awarded to West Coast-based Seaspan Marine, development is underway for the online delivery of a shipbuilding and repair entry level training program and a pipe trades program.

In B.C., more than 90 per cent of college graduates are employed within six months of graduation. Why so many, so fast?

Innovative programming means students get the skills they need in a format that works for them and employers get the skilled workers to grow their business.

To ensure this type of innovation in education is possible, our post-secondary institutions need ongo-

ing and predictable funding. The recent federal budget recog-

nized the need to address the skills gap – our provincial government needs to do the same.

Unfortunately, at a time when we should be building capacity in col-leges, many have had to do more with less. Camosun College faces higher demand and yet in 2013-14 will need to overcome a budget deficit of $2 million. Camosun is not alone. The current funding model does not adequately fund the very institutions that are able to sup-ply the job-ready graduates to fuel B.C.’s economy

Over the last 10 years the pro-vincial government has invested substantially in research and gradu-ate programs at B.C.’s research uni-versities including the University of Victoria and the University of Brit-ish Columbia. No doubt this invest-ment has served the educational needs of many British Columbians. But now we need the same level of investment in advanced skills train-ing and education at colleges to address the pending skills gap.

It is my hope that after the pro-vincial election, our provincial government will establish an invest-ment plan to help colleges meet the growing demand for highly skilled graduates to fuel B.C.’s competitive advantage.

Education is not an expense; it is an investment. It is time to make an investment in our most critical resource – a highly skilled and edu-cated workforce.

Jim Reed is the president of B.C. Colleges.

Skilled workers fuel B.C.’s economy

LETTERSBombing coverage on TV exacerbates fears

Re: Don’t let fear hold you back (Our View, April 19)

If fear is the weapon of the terrorist, it seems to me that our two main TV stations exacerbated that fear day after day by focusing on the damage done in the horror of the bombing in Boston.

There was plenty of positive news they could have better focused on from this event in Boston, as these people showed both their courage and competency in dealing with this tragedy. The Bostonians remained cool under fire.

This editorial sends the right and encouraging message – we will always be threatened by ideological nuts but the less satisfaction they get from their attacks, the less often will they be motivated to take that chance.

Suzuki’s hollow words distract from meaningful change

Re: Energy will determine Canada’s fate (Science Matters, April 19)

David Suzuki’s words have turned me off for years, though he has nothing but admirable things to say. And the same thing again in this opinion piece.

Yes, there is a limit to growth and certainly – we cannot keep heating up our planet with unfettered fossil fuel use. Yes, our governments must stop ignoring the long-term to court short-term electoral success.

So many platitudes echoing tired truths.

All these villains and ‘shoulds’ add to the clutter of our immobilized minds.

Look closely for these villains and most vanish into us. Our governments are us and their actions and inactions, for the most part, reflect our own narrow views and priorities. Real change also involves thoughtful, deep-running, personal courage and change.

I suggest we tune out the paralyzing rhetoric of those who know better, like our well-meaning Suzuki, and exert more daily effort in caring for each other and our precious Earth.

These efforts quietly magnify and heal.Tom OakVictoria

Liberals hypocritically denouncing ‘shakedown’

Whether or not it was inappropriate for the NDP to send a fundraising letter to the Liberals’ big donors asking them for $5,000 to balance government, who is Mike de Jong or any other Liberal to call it a shakedown?

It is the Liberals who shook down the taxpayers for Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk’s $6 million legal bailout; they tried to shake down the school board to balance its budget, and then they found $11 million for Bollywood.

I also find it both funny and pathetic that Don McCrae or any other Liberal candidate question how an NDP government would pay for this or that, when it was the Liberals who spent millions of dollars trying to convince us they are doing a wonderful job.

The Liberals are also making spending announcements, all of which relies on revenue from an industry that B.C. won’t have for at least another four years, if ever: liquefied natural gas.

Ida Chong was quoted as saying there

won’t be money to improve the Malahat Highway until the economy improves. Whether or not she realizes it, she’s admitted the economy isn’t as strong as her Liberal government wants us to believe.

Enough reasons exist to not build sewage plant

I list seven reasons, any one of which should be enough to discredit the idea that Victoria needs a land-based sewage treatment plant. To build one would not be just an irreversible mistake but a perversion.

• A 1984 Royal Commission, examining this exact issue, stated that comparing treatment with long out falls the latter “could be environmentally preferable where conditions were suitable.” Ours are ideal.

• A motion put before the U.S. Congress to require all sea discharges to have secondary treatment was defeated in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

• Those who know best are the medical health officers, the biologists and oceanographers who have been monitoring the outfalls for a generation. Not one believes we should be building such a plant.

• The environment minister’s order to build a plant followed immediately after a report by a U.S. firm that had been retained by the Capital Regional District, but the report conclusions did not specifically recommend such a plant be built. It states that where people reach different conclusions “great deference is due to the expressed will of the electorate.”

• A glance at a map shows all the waste from Greater Vancouver flowing out under Lions Gate Bridge or into the Fraser River, joined by the even greater flow from Everett and Greater Seattle and then past our front door, the relative impact of which is patently negligible.

• The impact of our sewage is negligible but the environmental health and safety impact of building and operating the plant would be substantial. I suspect the equipment exhaust during construction would be greater than our long outfall impact over a generation. Pollution has been ignored; fuel use has been ignored.

• We would rob other needs of upwards of a billion dollars. That alone would be an unforgivable step backwards.

I have been involved in this issue for half my life and it is patent that most politicians do not have the educational background to form sensible judgments on the issue.

Parc Modern furniture has doubled its space in a new location on Bay Street, giving customers more room to comfortably explore the terrific lines and products the store is known for, plus more than a few new surprises.

David and Jody Adelman opened Parc Modern Interiors on Herald Street in 2010, focusing largely on living room furnishings that suited the modern aesthetic and size requirements of today’s condos. With more and more requests from customers looking for the same style in dining room and bedroom furnishings, it became clear they needed more room, David explains.

Not only does the bright and airy new Bay Street loca-tion offer 5,000 square feet of display space – including a 50-foot illuminated chair wall perfect for inspiring new ideas – but there’s also ample free parking right in front of the store and a small warehouse on-site for easy pick-up.

“Our customers walk in and they’re just wowed by the selection and space,” David says.

Since moving at the beginning of April, the central lo-cation is also attracting many new customers who hadn’t ventured into the downtown store before, he notes.

“We have every category of furniture now – living room, dining room, bedroom and home office. We have storage beds, wood, leather and fabric beds, and the full spectrum of modern floor and table lamps, plus other ac-cessories – lots of choices now that we have the space,” David notes. “We’re truly a full-service store now.”

Creating your perfect space at home is also easier in Parc Modern’s new design centre.

Customers will enjoy relaxing with a beverage from the coffee bar while viewing the latest catalogues on the 60-inch flatscreen. The screen provides a larger view of the furnishings and accessories while ensuring homeowners are accessing the most current information. On the green front, the electronic catalogues also allowing the store to improve its environmental footprint with reduced paper consumption, David says.

Among the recent highlights at the new store is the Calvin Klein Custom Rug Program, which lets customers take home carpet samples to try in their space before ordering.

Another highlight, especially here in eco-conscious Vic-toria, is Magniflex Memory Foam Mattress from Italy. While beautiful to sleep on, the mattress also features organic covers, zero-off-gassing and are hypo allergenic, earning Magniflex the coveted Oeko-tex certification.

More space has also meant more Canadian lines, including two exciting new companies from Montreal, Trica and G.Romano, appealing to fans of clean lines, bright fabrics and customizable options.

While quality, stylish furnishings remain the cornerstone of Parc Modern’s philosophy, underlying everything is David and Jody’s commitment to their customers, demon-strated in the referrals and word-of-mouth advertising they enjoy.

“The store has a pretty good cool factor to it but we still pride ourselves on excellent customer service before everything else,” David says.

Child care policies offer a clear choice between the B.C. Lib-erals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election.

Premier Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan. That’s added to the B.C. Liberal “early years strategy” that includes full-day kin-dergarten, $142 million for child care subsi-dies, $34 million for “Success by Six” pro-grams in 225 communi-ties, and an additional $32 million over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces.

NDP leader Adrian Dix proposes to cancel the RESP and other new spending, and redirect it to a “Fam-ily Bonus Program,” a subsidy of up to $70 per month, per child for low-income families starting in 2014.

The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families with income under $66,000. Applying to all kids under 18, the bonus program is projected

to cost $210 million a year.

Platform highlights:• The B.C. Conserva-

tive pre-election plat-form offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood edu-cation. Its September 2012 policy document supports “the principle that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers.”

• The B.C. Green platform promises to create “local child care trusts” monitored by the provincial govern-ment. Promised ser-vices include “child care, in-home support, emergency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate hous-ing.”

The B.C. Green plat-form offers no costing estimate.

• The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by licensed child care

providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a province-wide child care regis-try.

• The B.C. NDP would double earnings

exemption for employ-able income assistance recipients, and allow a further exemption for child maintenance [email protected]

One Tuesday last October, a gunman stormed a school bus in the Swat District of Pakistan and shot Malala Yousafzai in the head. It was a brazen attempt to silence a young girl who dared to speak out for women’s rights.

The attack on Malala made headlines around the world. The fearless 15-year-old, who wrote about life under the rule of the Pakistani Taliban survived two bullets, and after a number of surgeries, she was eventu-ally flown to the U.K. to recover. In Victoria, veteran journalist Mohsin Abbas knew this was the time to document her story for the world.

“The moment (Malala) was attacked I wanted to jump in. I know the nature of her story and the impact of her story. I knew how Canada would respond,” said Abbas, 38, and who lives in Saanich. “There was no time to wait. I just thought it up and left. I jumped on a plane and started filming the (people) in her life.”

Abbas, who was born and raised in Paki-stan and worked there as a journalist until 2002, hired a film crew in Pakistan and con-ducted interviews in and around Malala’s home in the Swat Valley, from November until March this year.

Shooting the documentary was pro-foundly dangerous work – Abbas narrowly

escaped bomb blasts at two locations dur-ing interviews. “Her enemies are enemies of myself,” he said. “It’s quite dangerous to do that work. But now I’m going back to finish the film. We have to tell the story.”

Four years ago, Malala started blogging

under a pseudonym through the BBC Urdu service. A documentary on Malala by the New York Times told her story to the wider world of a girl who defied the Taliban and regressive elements of her society. The Tali-ban had banned education for girls in the

Swat Valley in the tribal North-West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan.

“(The Taliban) tried to blow up schools, slaughtered, murdered and flogged women in the village squares. Malala challenged them. A 12-year-old took a stand and made the statement: ‘How are you going to stop me from writing and getting an education?’” Abbas said. “Her story highlights problems in the region. She took a chance, took a bul-let and took the world stage as well. She deserves (the fame) big time, she is a bril-liant child.”

Abbas spent the past five months inter-viewing Malala’s friends, family, teachers and hardline elements around her home in Mingora in the Swat Valley, a place known as “Paradise.” Malala’s message has reso-nated through Pakistani society – in one village where generations of girls are raised as folk dancers, Abbas said mothers are now demanding their daughters receive an education. He also spoke with two girls shot in the same attack on Malala, who still live in the same area. “They are still living there and living in fear, constantly under threat from the Taliban.”

“I went to see what people think. People are optimistic, motivated by these brave girls who fight for educational rights. These people support girls’ education,” Abbas said.

“I talked to people who are still opposed (to women’s education). But I talked to kids of Taliban commanders who support the idea of women’s education. That shows big changes,” he said.

Abbas plans to travel to Birmingham, U.K., next month to interview Malala, and then back to Paki-stan to finish shooting and editing his documen-tary, titled Malala: A Girl from Paradise. Malala, who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, is living in Birmingham under guard, attending school and undergoing medical treatment for her injuries.

Abbas fled to Canada in 2002 after being impris-oned and tortured, he said, under the regime of Pervez Musharraf. He had worked as a journal-ist for major daily newspapers, and continued to do so in Canada. These days Abbas works as a stringer for BBC Urdu service and consults for papers such as the New York Post.

He self-funded his first round of filming Pakistan – “God bless a line of credit and a credit card.” This time around he is running an Indiegogo campaign to raise $20,000. He plans to debut the film in Can-ada this September, although it remains uncertain where. Abbas said he plans to screen it in Victoria this year.

He also said he has a “Plan B” to have the film edited and distributed in the event he is killed in Pakistan.

“No matter what happens to me, this film will come to life, it will come to the world,” Abbas said. “God forbid if something happens to me, people will see this film.”

For many pet owners the thought of clipping their beloved canine’s toenails is terrifying. They think of the blood and the risk of potential infection and leave it to the professionals. However, one of those professionals, Karren Chungranes, resident groomer at Pet’s Choice in Langford, says that it isn’t as hard as it seems.

The tools needed are a pair of dog toenail clippers (preferably with a guard) and a pet nail file

for smoothing the cut nail. In the rare event of bleeding pet stores carry a powder called Kwik Stop that acts as a blood thickener.

1. Take the dog’s paw in your hand and single out a nail for cutting.

2. Using the clippers, gently clip the white end of each nail while being sure to avoid the red blood vessel, called a quick, located in the bottom half.

Don’t forget the dewclaw that can sometimes be found on the backside of the paw.

3. Use the nail file to smooth out any rough edges before moving to the next paw.

4. Once all of the nails are done give your four-legged friend a treat and little extra love. Nail trimming should be done every six to eight [email protected]

Vivien Leutz, an international student from Germany, looks ahead of her boat in the Senior A womens double with Sofia Donnecke, partially seen. They won the recent Maple Bay Regatta event by 17 seconds.

Travis PatersonNews staff

There’s only so many tourna-ments a player can win before his name begins to catch on in the tennis community.

And that name is Aaron Diemer.

The 14-year-old from Brentwood Bay is emerg-ing as an elite junior player on the Island. He recently finished 27th out of 40 at the national indoor tennis champi-onships and was fifth in doubles play with Owen Stinson of the Mainland.

Currently, Diemer is slicing his way through the high school tennis circuit.

Considering few under-18 players on the Island can beat him, it’s no surprise the Grade 8 student is a deal breaker when he plays for the Pacific Christian School Pacers. Despite being the “young kid” in the school league, he’s undefeated in singles and mixed doubles play. The Pacers are 2-0 when he played and 0-1 when he didn’t.

“I like the school league because it gives me variety,” Diemer said. “I’m used to going to Vancouver

to play so almost all the players in school tennis I haven’t played before.”

In short, Diemer is on the rise as Victoria’s next big tennis name.

Diemer’s not taking anyone by surprise any-more, whether it’s against juniors or adults.

“ D i e m e r was 13 when I met him and already beat-ing adults,” said PCS athletics director John Stewart. “He’s a little phenom, though he’s probably 5-foot-10 already.”

Diemer acts and speaks maturely, and carries himself well.

But he’s ferocious on the court. Last weekend Diemer won the

Triple Knockout event at Pan-orama Recreation Centre, an open men’s tournament.

If there’s a challenge for Diemer at the school level, it’s being a good doubles partner, he said.

“Learning how the partner plays and how to communicate is new. We’ve won all our games

so far together, so it’s going well.”His dad Greg, a former pro in

the Netherlands before he moved here, can be credited for passing the passion on to Aaron and elder brother Daniel, 16 and in Grade 11 at PCS.

The brothers started playing competitively within a few months of each other just over three years ago. Daniel can smash the ball as well as any 16-year-old in Vic-toria. Nonetheless, he’s humbly conceded the brotherly rivalry is already in Aaron’s favour.

“Aaron hits very consistently. Even though I hit with more strength and serve harder, he has adjusted to it,” Daniel said. “Our games were pretty close until the last eight months. Now (Aaron) can beat me more often.”

It was actually Daniel, a certi-fied coach, who helped jumpstart the Pacers tennis team this season with Grade 12 Nina Radisavljevic.

“(Daniel and Nina) came to me and said, ‘Hey can we do this?’” Stewart said.

“There hasn’t been a team here for at least 19 years, and I’ve been hesitant to create one, because it’s not a recreational league. It’s pretty tough,” Stewart added.

Most school players also play outside of school and are strong, but with Daniel and Aaron, the

Pacers can take a crack at the Island championships.

Nina’s also played outside of school, and so has her sister Mat-eya, a Grade 10 student who regu-

larly partners with Aaron to form the Pacers’ mixed doubles team.

As a coach, Daniel splits his time with the team between playing on Wednesdays and instructing the 12-member team with adult coach Chris Stewart, a former golf pro with plenty of tennis experience.

“I know I don’t have as much experience as other coaches but it doesn’t affect me too much,” Dan-iel said.

“I know what I do know, that I have some knowledge, and a lot of what we work on is basics.”

The final week of school tennis wraps up next Wednesday (May 1), followed by the Lower Island championships May 6 to 8.

Vivien Leutz couldn’t imagine going a year without rowing.

It was a key factor helping the the foreign exchange student from Frankfurt, Germany, choose to Clare-mont secondary over other schools.

But as strong as Claremont sec-ondary’s rowing program reputation has become, she had no idea there was a rowing academy. Or that it is led by world champion Kevin Light for a coach.

“I thought there was a small row-ing team which has practice some-times after school,” Leutz said.

She soon learned about the row-ing academy and changed all of her courses to make it work.

“(Students) told me Kevin was our coach, an Olympic gold medal-ist. I couldn’t believe it. I was very excited to meet him.”

Leutz crews a senior women’s double with locally produced Sofia Donnecke, who started rowing at Royal Oak middle school. They are two of the premier rowing athletes at the school. They’ve gone head

to head in the singles, finishing first and second at the Maple Bay regatta recently, and dominated in the dou-ble, winning it at the Shawnigan and Maple Bay regattas this season.

“We have not had many races yet,” Light said. “But they are both very competitive with each other in the single sculls and match up really well in the double (scull, two oars each) or pair (sweep, one oar each).”

Clearly Leutz is no slouch. A sur-prise for the Claremont academy, Leutz has competed at the German youth championships. So it goes for Donnecke, who raced to the second in the Western Canada junior wom-en’s (under-19) trials in Burnaby on Saturday.

It’s put Donnecke on the national radar.

And now Leutz and Donnecke, both in Grade 11, are hoping to peak this season at the Canadian Rowing High School Championships held in St. Catherines in June.

“I can’t wait for St. Catherines,” Leutz said.

Leutz can sometimes be shy about her grasp of the English lan-

guage and her rowing abilities which made partnering with Donnecke all the better.

“Actually it’s no big deal because I’m (originally) from Germany and speak German, and (Leutz) can already speak English well,” Don-necke said.

“Leutz is really good at rowing. In Germany they train mostly in the singles, so she has great technique. She tries hard and she’s a great per-son to train with.”

The type of attitude Leutz has brought to the academy’s daily row-ing training is more like that of a university or national team athlete, Light said.

“Leutz prefers actually rowing on the water than training on the ERG (rowing machine), as is the case with most rowers,” Light said. “But her attitude and determination has allowed her to overcome some of the fears about the rowing machine she brought with her from Ger-many.”

This weekend (April 26 to 28) is a major event, the Brentwood Bay regatta, attended by U.S. schools.
