Local governments in Greater Victoria will soon begin negotiations to fund the $281 million needed to complete the most expen-sive infrastrucure project in the region’s his-tory.

The Capital Regional District’s $782-mil-lion secondary sewage treatment program is set to begin development in 2013 and will end the dumping of screened raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

To pay for the project, Greater Victoria residents may see an increase in annual property taxes between $200 to $500, or a jump in water utility bills, depending on the jurisdiction. The seven affected municipali-ties will need to agree on a funding model before work can begin.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said pay-ing for a regional sewage treatment upgrade through property tax increases may be unfair to residents who minimize their wastewater.

“If we go to the property tax model, then the University of Victoria and the two Camo-sun Colleges wouldn’t pay their share,” Leonard said.

By linking a fee to water utilities, prop-erties with septic systems would also be exempt from paying for sewer services they don’t use, Leonard said.

Victoria began collecting sewage fees based on water consumption in 2011, in anticipation of sewer upgrades, a move that city asserts is more equitable for property owners.

Small oyster, extra headache

Few people likely know the Gorge Water-way is home to a native species of oyster, but the little creature has played a part in delaying the construction of the new Craig-flower Bridge.

A federal environmental assessment of the bridge replacement project is moving slowly, and even more so since thick oys-ter beds were found under the bridge.

“The oysters are probably the key issue (behind the delay),” said Jim Hemstock,

special-projects manager in the Saanich engineering department.

Federal law requires that the bridge replacement project results in no net loss of marine habitat. “If we’re disrupting the oysters, then we need to compensate,” Hem-stock explained.

While Olympia oys-ters are listed as a species of special con-cern, they are more abundant in the Gorge than anywhere else on Vancouver Island. The World Fisheries Trust has been monitoring their popula-tion since 2009.

Last week, researchers collected oysters at three sites for counting and measuring, before returning them to their beds.

For the first time, this year the 79-year-old Craigflower Bridge was included in the survey. Investigation revealed that the Olympia oyster population is significantly denser between the wooden pilings than any other oyster bed along the waterway.

Areas under the bridge hold 400 oys-ters per square metre, compared to 250 per square metre elsewhere. The findings have big implications for Saanich and View Royal, which are jointly replacing the bridge.

While the environmental mitigation plan has yet to be approved by the federal gov-ernment, it will likely involve transplanting each oyster, Hemstock said. “It’s going to be very expensive.”

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Police hit suspected Saanich drug house

A 38-year-old Saanich man faces drug trafficking charges after a “significant” surveillance operation at a Saanich home last week.

The investigation stemmed from numerous complaints from neighbours in the 100-block of Lurline Ave., who believed there was a pos-sible drug house on their street.

On July 12, Saanich police street crimes unit officers noted heavy foot and vehicle traffic coming to and from the residence.

While surveilling the prop-erty, they observed a drug deal, and arrested both the trafficker and purchaser. A small amount of cocaine was the item of purchase.

A search warrant was executed on the home early July 13, and a small amount of cocaine and heroin were found inside.

“Despite the fact this might not be a kingpin traf-ficker, you can see the dis-ruption this has on a neigh-bourhood,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

He said there are telltale signs there may be a drug house in your neighbour-hood, such as people com-ing and going all hours of the day and night.

Double break-in no party for party store

A party pooper has twice broken in to a party supply store in the 3900-block of Quadra St. over two con-secutive weekends, stealing money from the cash regis-ter in both instances.

Saanich police believe the store was easily entered as there is a gap between the door and the door jam, allowing for a pry bar-type tool to force the door open.

It is believed both inci-dents happened in the over-night hours between July 7 and 8, and July 14 and 15. Roughly $200 in cash was taken in both break-ins.

Anyone with information on either of these break-ins can contact Saanich police at 250-475-4321.

What began as a 32-page book-let typed on a manual typewriter and illustrated by hand has evolved into a series of books that have sold more than 100,000 cop-ies and continue to fund environ-mental initiatives.

In October 1972, the non-profit Vancouver Island Trails Informa-tion Society sold their first hiking guide, Hiking Trails I: Victoria and Vicinity, for $1 per booklet. It was reprinted by Christmas, setting

sales records at downtown Victo-ria’s Eatons.

Over the last 40 years the non-profit society has sold more than 100,000 copies with pro-ceeds supporting trail creation, maintenance, mapping and other environmental initiatives through organizations such as the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanc-tuary and The Vancouver Island Spine Association. The society also provides scholarships to four post secondary institutions.

To stay current for younger readers after 32 print editions,

this year the society will become the first in Western Canada to publish e-versions of their hiking guides.

While the Capital Regional Dis-trict has a very good trail system, there is room for some small improvements locally, said Eric Burkle, president of the society, which was first founded by mem-bers of the Outdoor Club of Vic-toria. New trails are in the works near the Sooke Potholes area.

“The concern has been access to existing trails,” Burkle noted. “We’ve lost access, because the

timber companies have become concerned with liabilities. Specifi-cally, within the Cowichan Valley.”

The hiking guides cover the Greater Victoria area, south cen-tral Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands and northern Vancouver Island and are available in most local book and outdoor stores or online at hikingtrailsbooks.com.

A display showcasing the incar-nations of the guides will be at the Nellie McClung library in August, Emily Carr in September and the Esquimalt branch in October.

Hiking guides going strong after 40 years

It started in May 2011 with a call to action by Gov.-Gen. David John-ston to community foundations across the country.

He challenged the 183 organiza-tions to launch a “Smart and Car-ing Community Fund.”

The Victoria Foundation board became one of the first to heed

Johnston’s call and committed $200,000 in matching contribu-tions to the new fund.

To launch the fund, the Gover-nor General was due at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence Thursday, after the News’ dead-line.

“I’m pleased that the Community Foundations of Canada is rising up to my challenge of building a smart and caring nation for our country’s

150th anniversary in 2017,” John-ston said in a statement.

Victoria Foundation’s new Smart and Caring Community Fund has two components.

First, a physical literacy pro-gram through the Cridge Centre will teach fundamental physical skills to children aged three to 10. It also teaches teamwork skills and knowledge about healthy eating.

Second, the Victoria Foundation

will create 13 endowment funds for Vancouver Island charities and contribute $7,500 in matching funds towards each endowment.

This kind of fund helps chari-ties because it is enticing to their donor base, said Victoria Founda-tion CEO Sandra Richardson.

“It shows the organization as establishing something for the future, for their long-term sustain-ability.”

Craigflower Bridge will be well into its 80th year of service when Saanich begins its replace-ment project, now slated for the summer of 2013.

While the original timeline for the joint Saanich-View Royal project was to have work start this summer, municipal engi-neers were forced to put the project on hold while they awaited federal environmental and archaeological permits.

Initially there was talk about construction potentially run-ning from the winter through to spring, but those plans were scrapped due to the holidays.

“We heard a lot of feedback from local businesses that the loss of (access during) the Christmas shopping would be devastating,” said Jim Hemstock,

Saanich’s manager of transpor-tation. “And it also didn’t give us summer holidays, looking after getting the school kids back and forth. Those two were good reasons to go with the summer schedule.”

While Hemstock anticipates the permits will be issued in August, he says the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will have the final say on when con-struction can take place.

“We’re expecting it to be June 1, 2013. It could be slightly differ-ent, but I believe that is going to be the window they’ll give us,” he said. “By June 1 the herring have finished their run and the salmon don’t start until Sept. 15. That’s what drives the window.”

Engineers are currently com-pleting the final design of the bridge, and Hemstock says they’ll be pre-qualifying contrac-tors in the fall, to send the proj-

ect to tender in February.“We’re thinking we’re going to

give the folks a long time to work on their bid – hopefully that will lead to better pricing,” he said.

The $10.7-million Craigflower Bridge reconstruction project is funded mostly by federal gas tax cash ($10 million). Saanich will cover 60 per cent of the remain-ing bill, and View Royal will cover the rest.

The existing narrow, two-lane bridge is 79 years old. It’s slated to be replaced by a three-lane bridge, complete with bike lanes and wide sidewalks.

Saanich will also simultane-ously replace sewer infrastruc-ture along Gorge Road, between Admirals and Tillicum, during bridge construction. That would require Gorge Road to be shut down completely, too, during that time.

Cougar still prowling rural SaanichIn what is becoming a common

occurrence, a resident alerted Saanich police Monday night to what they believed was a cougar walking down the street.

The caller reported seeing the animal around 7 p.m. near Hol-

land Avenue and Hastings Road, a few blocks away from Straw-berry Vale elementary school.

“Based on the description provided by the complainant, officers attended the area but were unable to locate the ani-

mal,” Const. Mike Millard said in a press release.

In the past month, a cougar, or possibly different cougars, have been spotted near Prospect Lake, Rithet’s Bog and Wilkinson Road jail.

Summer is here

again, and you’ll

probably find you’re using the

car more, for going on road

trips, or camping or a day

jaunt to your favourite beach.

Naturally, items like sunglasses,

camping gear, shopping bags

and cell phones for example

also find their way into your

vehicle. But what happens

when you get back to your

car from a day of fun and find

the window shattered, the door

forced and items are missing.

If this happens, what’s covered

by car insurance and what

is not?

While your car insurance

covers many things, it usually

does not extend to loss of

your personal contents in the

car. In addition to losing your

personal property, a break-in

can leave you with the hassle

and expense of fixing damages

such as broken window

glass, typical with a break-in.

If you claim against your car

insurance, you’ll be paying the

Comprehensive deductible.

But if personal items have

been stolen from your vehicle,

your deductibles may not

end there.

Goods such as cameras,

sporting equipment and

clothing are usually covered

under your home insurance

policy, not your car insurance.

You would be required to make

two separate claims, one on

your car insurance and the

other on your home insurance.

Typical deductibles on car

insurance can range from $300

to $500, while $500 is the

standard on home insurance.

A car break in can cost you, the

insured, $1,000 in deductibles

and the hassle of making two

separate claims.

The good news is that

there are now some optional

car insurance policies offering

unique solutions, like the

Smash and Grab coverage

that can be added to BCAA’s

Optional Car Insurance. The

Smash and Grab coverage

waives the glass deductible on

all glass claims and covers your

personal property up to $500,

again with no deductible.

Of course, prevention is

always better than cure, so try

and avoid making yourself an

easy target by giving thieves a

reason to break into your car.

Keep valuable items hidden

from view, or better yet keep

them locked up in the trunk

when you’re away from your

car. You should also always

ensure you lock the doors and

roll up all the windows before

you leave.

The next time your car

insurance is up for renewal,

speak to a BCAA Car Insurance

specialist. They’ll assess your

needs and help find the options

that are right for you.

Marci-Lyn Braithwaite is an Insurance Specialist with BCAA. She can be reached at [email protected].

yourself from smash and

grab thieves.

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, July 20, 2012 www.saanichnews.com • A5

Edward HillNews staff

The question reads: What year was female wrestling intro-duced to the Olympic Games? I scratch my head and select “1984” on the iPad.

I’m met with the red X of fail-ure. Thankfully, an eight-year-old is nearby to correct me – the answer is 2004.

It’s an electronic book writ-ten and designed for kids, but apparently adults have plenty to learn from a guide to the 2012 London Olympics. It was created by a Saanich hus-band and wife team who have crossed the threshold from magazine publishing to a digital-only book designed for the Apple iPad.

The interactive, colourful and photo-heavy London 2012 Olympics: The Kids' Only Guide allows kids (and adults) to explore Summer Olympic and Paralympic sports, the London venues, trivia and history of the Games using a medium that is becoming more popular and widespread each day.

“With the Olympics coming, it seemed like a good fit. We had a good experience writing non-fic-tion for kids and it seemed like a fun project to do,” said David Garrison, who created the guide with wife Shannon Hunt.

“Since we weren’t going to London 2012, (the book) was a way for us to get excited about getting involved,” Hunt said. “It combined our interests and abilities, and we found our-selves at the same time without a job.”

Garrison designed the pages and hunted down photographs, while Hunt researched and wrote the e-book over the past few months, which is now sold from the Apple Store through iTunes.

The project offered a welcome distraction from the sudden and bitter end to two maga-zines they created.

Until January, the duo had published kids’ science maga-zines Yes Mag and Know Mag, which had a combined 25,000 cir-culation, mostly in Can-ada. Yes Mag launched in 1996 and Know in 2006, and in 2009 Garri-son and Hunt sold their Saanich-based publish-ing company to a Mon-treal firm, Mad Science Group. Both stayed on as employees.

“The idea was to

help us grow and expand. That didn’t happen,” Garrison said. “They decided to close the mag-azines. It came as a complete surprise.”

The pair saw shifting to an e-book as an opportunity to learn a new publishing technol-ogy, while gauging the market for youth non-fiction e-books.

“Magazines are limited by their pages. This medium allows quizzes, interactive maps of the whole Olympic park,” Hunt said. “The topic lends itself to (the iPad). It’s fluid, there’s lots of movement, which the Olympics is all about.”

“It’s hard to get the kids off (the iPad). It’s a good medium for non-fiction,” Garrison agreed. “This book is a bit of an experiment. We have no sense of the market, but e-readers are popular. This feels like there’s a lot of potential.”

Their kids, 11-year-old Casey and eight-year-old Remy, were key behind-the-scenes players

as a focus group and picture illustrators. Both appear in the book, most notably Casey with champion triathlete Simon Whitfield – “fingers crossed for Simon,” Hunt noted. “We’re big Simon fans.”

“Our kids helped in the initial stages on how we approached the book. We asked them ‘What would you like to see?’” Hunt said. “They liked pin trading, they wanted to know about spe-cific athletic venues and how to plan such a huge event.”

“The most time consuming aspect was researching photo-graphs and contacting photog-raphers,” Garrison said. “Most photographers permitted us to use their photos, many for free. A lot thought it was a great proj-ect and were happy to let us use them.”

A pricey Chinese delicacy – shark fin soup – is becoming a hot-button issue among city councils in B.C., as environmen-tal groups seek to change pro-vincial and national laws to ban the importation of shark fins.

And Saanich council threw its support behind the cause Mon-day night.

“As a society we really have to step back and say, ‘Is that the way we really want to treat nature?’” asked Coun. Judy Brownoff.

The concerns being brought to light surround the welfare of the animals and the impact on the world’s ecosystems of kill-ing upwards of 17 million sharks per year.

The recommendation to sup-port the ban was brought for-ward by Saanich’s environmen-tal advisory committee, after members were given a presen-tation by advocacy group Fin Free Victoria, made up mostly of Grade 7 students from Glenlyon Norfolk School.

“We’ve received a lot of sup-port,” said Margaret McCullough, a science teacher at GNS and one of two teachers assisting the Fin Free Victoria student group.

In addition to approaching politicians, Fin Free Victoria has successfully lobbied a number of restaurants in Greater Victoria to stop serving shark fin soup.

“There were six or seven (res-taurants) in Victoria, but they’ve all kind of jumped on board with this,” McCullough said. “(Our discussions with restaurants) weren’t about sharks or the issues. It was more about the business opportunity.”

Jackson Hong, owner of Sam-pan Chinese Seafood Restaurant in Saanich Centre, says he hadn’t sold a bowl of shark fin soup for a couple years before Fin Free Victoria approached him earlier this year to support an outright ban.

“I’m happy not selling them. I’m fin free,” Hong said.

While he said there are envi-ronmental reasons to support the ban, he also acknowledged there’s a benefit to business owners’ bottom line to not buy shark fins.

“The cost is high and not many people want them. We pay a few thousand dollars and wait for people to come and order them, it’s not worth doing that,” he said.

A bowl of shark fin soup can cost upwards of $200.

While Saanich council’s deci-sion passed unanimously, Coun. Leif Wergeland voiced concern that addressing issues outside of municipal jurisdiction – from

shark fin bans to oil tanker traffic – could “litter” council’s agenda.

“We’re all concerned. I just don’t know if they should be addressed in council chambers,” he said.

In Metro Vancouver, Coquit-lam, Port Moody and the City of North Vancouver have also banned possession and use of shark fins, and Burnaby is mull-ing the idea.

In Richmond, which has a large Chinese population, the debate is growing. City council there has agreed to consider a ban, which has restaurateurs up in arms.

Saanich council threw its sup-port behind two recommenda-tions which call on the provin-cial and federal governments to ban the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins. While it is currently illegal to fin sharks in Canada, it is not illegal to import shark fins into Canada.

Shark fin soup is a delicacy served at some Mainland restaurants. Saanich council is joining the chorus of municipalities calling on senior governments to ban the importation of shark fins.

On Monday, the federal and provincial govern-ments announced $253 million and $248 million, respectively, for the sewage treatment, but said any cost overruns will fall to local governments.

CRD spokesman Andy Orr said the municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, View Royal, Colwood and Langford will likely agree on a funding model based on how much wastewater they pro-duce and the age of their sewage infrastructure.

“So newer developments, like Langford and Col-wood, may well have cheaper costs,” he said.

The sewage treatment project comprises three major elements – a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, piping system upgrades and a biosolids energy centre proposed for the Hartland Landfill in Saanich.

The biosolids centre will be built as a private-public partnership (P3), which allows private com-panies to build and operate a facility, but also bear responsibility for any cost overruns.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who opposes the installation of the wastewater treatment facil-ity at McLoughlin Point, said the CRD should have made the entire project a P3.

“I really have a concern that we’re stepping beyond our bounds as local government. We shouldn’t be doing what private business can do,” she said.

The CRD already manages a wastewater treat-ment facility on the Saanich Peninsula for Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney.

Negotiations between municipalities for a funding model are expected to take place over the coming months and will include public input, Leonard said.

The CRD’s next step will be to hire a project man-ager and pass a bylaw that allows it to create a com-mission to oversee the project.

A report of a man shaking on the ground resulted in the suc-cessful return of an expensive stolen laptop last week.

Saanich police were called to the corner of Agnes and Ray-mond streets around 7 a.m. on July 12 by a witness who reported seeing a man on the ground.

Police arrived to find the suspect waking up. They sus-pected he was under the influ-ence of drugs or alcohol. Offi-cers spotted a MacBook Pro stuffed inside the man’s open backpack.

They queried the man, who claimed he purchased the lap-top that same evening for $75,

but upon further questioning, officers determined he was lying.

An officer switched on the computer and found a docu-ment on the desktop, which included the address of the business.

Police brought the computer to the nearby business, based out of a Saanich home, and returned the laptop to its right-ful owner.

The owner said he hadn’t even realized his business had been broken into overnight.

The suspect, a 30-year-old with no fixed address, faces one count of break and enter.

Computer returned before owner realizes it was stolen

World Fisheries Trust has been hired to help design the compensation plan.

“The new pilings will be concrete, which oysters like,” said Trust executive director Joachim Carols-feld.

To help oyster larvae settle on the pilings, he recommends texturing the concrete with horizontal ridges.

To help predict other fac-tors in the oysters’ survival, he is overseeing related studies in the Gorge.

One is looking into the presence of invasive spe-cies and their interaction with Olympia oysters.

Pending the receipt of a grant, he also plans to look at the movement of oyster larvae.

The health of the oyster population is a good barom-eter of water quality and health of the ecosystem, Carolsfeld said.

They’re also important in their own right, he said, as they filter water and pro-vide habitat for other sea life.

OUR VIEW

Did you happen to note that Victoria was recently ranked Number 2 on Martin

Prosperity Institute’s Top 20 list of most creative cities in Canada? I did, though I’m not sure why.

I’m not sure why the institute gave little old Victoria the penultimate position – beating out Vancouver and Montreal, but falling just behind Ottawa-Gatineau. There was nothing for me to read when I was sucked into what I was sure would be a morning hit of quasi-news, a first-cup-of-coffee infotainment piece on my computer screen.

Nope. Just a headline and photo gallery. Nothing against ninasaurusrex’s snapshot of Douglas Street ripped from Flickr, on this unnamed news source, but I’ll tell you right now, it wasn’t anywhere near creative enough to replace actual words.

You won’t find one of those Top 10 lists and photo galleries on Black Press websites, and I’ve been told we have no plans to add them any time soon, either.

Anyone over the age of 16 may have noticed that story formats and sizes are changing.

David Leach, director of professional writing and the technology and society interdisciplinary minor program at the University of Victoria, acknowledges an overall dumbing down of some online news sources through sensational, pseudo controversy headlines that earn

the dubious honours of most-read story links – while once again, these so-called stories don’t require any

actual reading.The hunger for longer,

story-driven articles remains, despite our appetite for quick-hit, silly pieces, Leach says. The end result: more variety for readers.

As I write this, Fox News published its Top 10 barbecue products. Why do I feel as though those producers have likely done their due diligence in researching the merits of

the Pig Tail Food Flippers?There’s no shame in giving readers

the variety they seek. For those who are on to their second cup of coffee, that means sinking into the kind of well-crafted stories Leach says have always been the foundation of professional writing at UVic.

“We tend to focus on the principles of telling an intelligent, well-researched, compelling story at any length,” he says. “You can do it at 300 words. You can do it at 30,000.”

Thirty thousand? Barring a few holdouts, editors

aren’t exactly overwhelmed with pages on which to lay out these longer literary works. But, hey, there’s a fire sale on online platforms. Sure, monetization presents some challenges, but how many new journalists are losing sleep over it?

Leach is right: it’s an interesting moment for non-fiction, one marked by pervasive celebrity culture and trash news stories at the same time

as the emergence of new products such as the Kindle Single.

I’m still hung up on the gimmicky list phenomenon. It’s not because, like others void of a y-chromosome, I find myself resisting daily temptations to read the Top 5 reasons why single women should feel they’re doing something wrong, or because I happened upon the Top 10 warning signs of cancer … in dogs and cats. Or even because I “purposed” upon the 10 best awkward nude scenes on the big screen. Yes. I. Did.

CBC’s list of the Top 10 recommendations from the G20 report suggests that any format can be harnessed by the good side and affirms my belief that a solid product can take any form, including the lazy list, and that good writing is often the result of tight restrictions.

And was it the great prophet Stephen Colbert who once said: “The more things change, the more they stay the same?”

“In some ways we’re returning to partisan journalism where opinions bleed into journalism where they didn’t necessarily before,” Leach says of so-called yellow journalism. “That was there at the birth of journalism.”

Disclosure: this column was written by someone with the fifth-worst job on the market, if you put any stock into CareerCast’s list of the worst jobs in 2012 – and the journalists who heard the news and ran with it, even if only for a punchline at the end of an opinion column.

Top 10 reasons to read this

‘As I write this, Fox News published its Top 10 barbecue products.’

Tsunami cleanup readiness crucialCoastal authorities in B.C., including those

in the Capital Region, have long been putting together tsunami and earthquake

preparedness plans.But the need is growing greater for the three

levels of government to have a definite plan in place to deal with potentially environmentally dangerous debris from last year’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan washing up on B.C. coastlines.

Items ripped apart by the powerful waves, much of them covered with sea life that could threaten native species, have for months been arriving on the western shorelines of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Residents and others concerned about threats to the pristine nature of coastal areas have been doing their best to remove the material.

No one knows, given the unpredictable nature of ocean currents, just how much flotsam will reach B.C. shores in the coming months and years. But enough has arrived already to inform provincial and federal authorities of the extent of the problem.

The province is in a “fact-gathering stage” on the issue, said Environment Minister Terry Lake, who last week toured Haida Gwaii. His comments that any cleanup plan must be a joint effort between local, provincial and federal governments and First Nations make sense, but indicate the province is not willing to take the lead on tackling this problem.

When a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in a packing crate washed up on a Haida Gwaii beach in April, and its owner, who had lost three family members and his home in the disaster, was located, it was a bittersweet story. But the washing ashore of a 20-metre concrete and steel dock in Oregon on June 6 was a further sign that the worst is likely yet to come.

This week’s shockingly low cleanup grant of $50,000 from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for each of the five U.S. states affected, shows how low this issue is on that government’s priority list.

We hope the Canadian federal government, already showing a similar lack of respect for the environment through budget cuts, does not take a similar tack by downplaying this serious issue.

Affluent effluent too richfor Colwood majority

It about time Colwood city council takes a courageous stand and protects residents from this sewage treatment funding idiocy initiated by the Friends of Mr Floatie.

Currently, the majority of Colwood ratepayers are wholly responsible for our own sewage treatment.

We own, operate and maintain highly efficient septic systems, and we’ll do so well into the foreseeable future.

Why anyone in their right mind would hold the opinion that septic system owners should face a potentially massive tax increase to support a system that we will never be connected to is staggering.

Coun. Judith Cullington says, “(We’ll) look at opportunities for smaller, localized treatment plants and kind of address new development as it comes on board.

That’s certainly not a done decision, but that’s certainly what we heard from people.”

My question to Cullington, why isn’t this a done decision?

Let the sewage system users and future developers pay for any projected increase in capacity.

It’s their issue. Their affluent effluent is far too rich for the rest of us.

Discharging sewage to seastill the CRD’s best option

Re: Government funds in, sewage project moving ahead (News, July 18)

So the funds have been found to perpetrate the crime.

Building a land-based sewage treatment

plant is nothing less, for it uses a law intended to protect the environment to almost certainly do it harm.

There is no point in the scientists and medical health officers devoting their lives to science and medicine; more note is taken of economists.

Fifty years of research on three continents is being ignored, but it is the trashing of lives that is most sickening.

The cost-benefit is being ignored. How many lives could be saved in

medicine, or how much benefit could be accrued in education with the use of upwards of a billion dollars?

I finish with one of many quotes from my book, Victoria’s Sewage Circus. UK Royal Commission on environmental pollution, 1984: “With well-designed sewage outfalls, we believe that discharge to the sea is not only acceptable, but in cases environmentally preferable.”

Nowhere are conditions better than here.

Sewage resource recovery cancels out greenhouse gases

Re: Victoria braces for the big flush (Our View, July 18)

Your view totally misses the most important issue that an additional, land-based sewage treatment plant is just not needed in Victoria.

Several scientists are rightfully skeptical that this sewage treatment plant will provide any measurable improvement in the health of Juan de Fuca Strait.

Such a land-based plant, besides costing so much to build and operate, is only

attempting resource recovery because a land-based sewage treatment produces thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gases and sewage sludge – which is not produced by our current marine-based system.

Spending even more taxpayer funds to try to reduce the impact of the greenhouse gases and sludge is just not a sustainable approach, when our marine environment can perform its current ecological service as marine treatment of sewage very adequately.

Disaster awaits if oil tanker suffers mishap

Re: West Coast in capable hands (News, July 11)

Our West Coast may be in good hands from the Navy’s perspective, but if a supertanker loaded with the proposed pipelines’ tar sands oil runs aground, the situation will be like a mouse trying to direct a herd of elephants.

The only real protection is to see that this insane scheme never happens.

Lack of kudos for Clarktelling from retiring MLA

Re: MLA Murray Coell’s retirementAfter 16 years of service in the provincial

legislature, Murray Coell has decided to retire on his gold-plated pension of approximately $89,000 per year.

During his retirement interview, he described his boss, Premier Christy Clark, as a person who is, “full of life and full of

energy and a great campaigner.”I found it unusual that he didn’t feel

it was necessary to expand on her leadership qualities and capabilities as leader of the Liberal Party and premier of our province. He probably has his own reasons.

Most politicians claim they are retiring so they will be able to spend “more time with their families.”

We all know it’s for the “the kids” and for “all the families” in the province, don’t we?

Letters to the Editor

Money for treatment plant not in bank yetFederal cabinet minister James

Moore came to Victoria last week to announce the federal contribution to the Capital Regional District’s proposed on-land artificial wastewater treatment plant.

The media gave the announcement extensive coverage, as it should, but behind the hoopla is the nagging question: what did Moore add to the similar promise made by Prime Minister Harper a year ago? And will the money actually come our way?

Moore was more precise than the prime minister. First, there is now an upper dollar limit to the federal taxpayers’ contribution. It now stands at $253 million, with local taxpayers responsible for any cost overruns.

Second, it is clear that this contribution to the capital costs of wastewater treatment will be

counted as part of the federal expenditures in British Columbia

on infrastructure. In other words,

the amount of the contribution will be counted against any federal money that otherwise would come to this province for rapid transit, new bridges, convention facilities and other major capital works.

This is not additional money.

If British Columbia gets this $253 million,

the province will get $253 million less for other infrastructure projects.

But while adding precision, Moore laid down conditions. Specifically he made it clear that the project would have to be approved by the federal Treasury Board, and that it would be subject to federal environmental assessments.

These conditions seem

reasonable enough, but their effect may yet be road blocks to a federal financial contribution.

Consider the requirement for Treasury Board approval. The role of Treasury Board is to ensure “efficiency, effectiveness, and ongoing value for money.” Treasury Board approval will require a detailed cost/benefit analysis of the project, a detailed examination of the disadvantages and advantages of the project and an evaluation of alternative ways of achieving the objectives by some other means – including the existing natural system that is in place today.

If Treasury Board does its usual thorough job, the CRD plan is unlikely to pass the test.

No detailed cost/benefit analysis for example, has yet been done. If Treasury Board experts do one, the results are unlikely to favour what the CRD is proposing.

The second off-ramp that could derail the federal financial contribution is the federal environmental assessment. The

CRD has declared that the current system is detrimental to our local waters and the proposed system will improve the quality of the local marine environment. But the claim is just that, a claim. It has not been supported by independent studies, the majority of which say exactly the opposite.

Further, it is contradicted by 10 University of Victoria experts in the fields of oceanography, marine biology and engineering, who took the unusual step of signing a letter pointing out that on balance, there are no net environmental benefits from the proposal.

Equally damaging to the CRD case is that six current and former public health officers for the area have publicly pointed out that in their expert judgment, there are, on balance, no net health benefits from the proposal.

In fact, since details of the plan have been put forward, it has become clear that the greenhouse gas impact of the proposal is substantial, and other environmental and even health

impacts are more significant than anticipated. Once again, on environmental and health grounds, the current system appears to be substantially superior to what is being proposed, a fact that a serious federal environmental impact assessment will almost certainly demonstrate.

Of course, the federal cabinet could change the rules yet again, and provide the money regardless of environmental impact or of a cost/benefit analysis. But don’t count on it.

At present, the federal contribution to the CRD’s proposed on-land wastewater treatment system appears a long way from being in the bank.

Former Victoria MP David Anderson served for 10 years in the federal cabinet of Jean Chrétien, when he was a member of Treasury Board and the minister responsible for the Environmental Assessment Agency. He was also the minister responsible for the Infrastructure Program in British Columbia.

UP TO THE CHALLENGEDon DescoteauNews staff

Cory Moore had just returned from a tour of Bosnia with the Canadian army when faced with

news about his grandmother, Lorraine Payne.

After beating esophageal cancer years earlier, Payne was in her final weeks in a battle against lung cancer. She lost the fight in 2003, less than a month after Moore returned home.

Payne was like another parent to him, says Moore, noting that he and his mother lived with his grandma through his formative years.

Now in his fifth year with the Victoria Police Department and a member of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock cycling team, Moore will be thinking of his grandma most as he undertakes the annual ride and fundraiser.

“She was an important part of my life,” says Moore, a police constable.

He’ll also be thinking of various aunts and uncles who have been lucky enough to beat cancer.

The Belmont secondary grad confesses he wasn’t much of a cyclist before this year.

Everything changed in January when Moore became a member of VicPD’s bicycle squad.

Later, after speaking with Barrie Cockle, a VicPD rider on the 2008 tour, he decided to tackle the arduous and emotional challenge of Tour de Rock.

“The learning curve (has been) fast and furious,” Moore says. “Now I’m on the bike probably six days a week.”

Like Moore, VicPD patrol officer Const. Jose Bingham was more a runner than a cyclist before being accepted onto the 2012 tour roster. He expects the gruelling training rides the group is doing will leave the team “over prepared” for the 1,000-kilometre tour, which goes Sept. 23 to Oct. 5.

Bingham, Moore and fellow 2012 Tour de Rock rider, third-year VicPD Const. Kyle Roy, have each met their junior rider – a child going through or recovering from cancer treatment who is assigned to each tour rider.

Each police officer has been struck by the courage shown by the youngsters and the gratefulness of the families for the B.C. Cancer Society, the Tour de Rock and the riders.

A married father of a 12-year-old son and

a nine-year-old daughter, Bingham lost his stepfather and an aunt to cancer and watched a good friend endure breast cancer treatments at age 33.

The thought of children going though the pain and treatment of cancer is just “mind-boggling,” he says. “They don’t have a chance in life before getting hit with that.”

Roy, who also has experienced family with cancer, understands the power of the tour.

“Other riders from years past say the big one is Camp Goodtimes,” the Esquimalt High grad says – the team visits the camp in Maple Ridge this week. “That’s really an opportunity to see the whole scope of what the Cancer Society does for families. To

see it in action is the turning point for a lot of riders.”

All riders on the tour have a $5,000 individual fundraising goal.

While he will endeavour to raise that much and more, Bingham is keen to help make a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and family members who support the youngsters through the ordeal.

“(We heard) it used to be a one-in-five survival rate (for children with cancer), now it’s four in five. That’s quite a dramatic difference,” he says.

“It’s through fundraising and research into treatments. What we’re doing right now, in the long run it will make a difference. We may not see the immediate impact, but my hope is in the long run we will.”

Ted Harrison raises a hand with welcome in his eyes and a “pleasure to meet you” as Kaitlyn Webb Patience offers to make some tea.

“I always welcome a cup of tea,” the popular Canadian artist says, as Webb Patience places a hot cup on a tray in front of him.

She’s new to the role as studio manager, replacing longtime studio manager Lillie Louise Major – perhaps it’s why she neglected to have cookies on hand. A fan of a good cookie, Harrison doesn’t take his disappointment out on her, but sips from the mug featuring Yukon lore that she’s set on a bright cloth on the tray in front of him.

“(When) this place closes I want my cup back,” he tells her.

The small space filled with bright colours on “The Ave,” will close at the end of August, but with a little

fanfare. And another visit from the man himself.

“It’s always been a passion project,” Webb Patience gestures to the space that has shown Harrison’s work for the past six years.

“What has to be must be,” said the iconic artist who turns 86 on Aug. 28. “You can’t fight what’s necessary.”

Though he came to Oak Bay in 1993, the studio waited until six years ago. From there, fans from near and far would come and watch him work.

“People like to watch artists paint. The artist becomes part of the scene,” he says. “I don’t particularly like to be watched.”

But with a healthy respect for those who purchase his work, he painted daily in the studio. “People should start to show the buying public respect for what it does,” he says.

Harrison still finds time, working with watercolour pencils, to create in the “peaceful and quiet” retirement home in Saanich

where he now lives. Trips to the studio dropped away once he left Oak Bay, prompting the closure.

“I don’t do a lot (of painting),” he says. “It depends on the opportunity and the mood.”

Harrison is known for his colourful depictions of the Yukon – where he spent two decades – and the Pacific Northwest where he spent the past two decades.

At the height of his work he could paint an image a day, but “it’s not about speed,” he says. “(It’s) competence.”

Though the studio is set to close, Harrison plans to remain in the area.

“I like painting anywhere,” he says. “I think Victoria is a beautiful place to live. I like Victoria because it’s a very open community. People accept you.”

Fans and friends can say goodbye to the studio, and hello to Harrison on Aug. 9 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the studio, 2004 Oak Bay Ave. [email protected]

A convenience store clerk did her best to fight off a thief last Satur-day night after he pulled a knife and demanded cash.

In response to the demand, the clerk at Wink’s Convenience Store on Burnside Road produced a golf club and hit the man in the back as he exited the store, but not before he cleared out the till.

“The best thing for us is to get there as quick as possible, but if

that’s what she needed to do, I’d sup-port her in that,” said Victoria police Const. Mike Russell.

“I never second-guess anybody in the heat of the moment,” he said.

The man is described as having darker skin, 5-foot-6 in height with a moustache and an average build. He was wearing a dark blue hoodie and knee-length shorts at the time of the robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to contact VicPD at 250-995-7444 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Mary-ellen Threadkell prefers not to be in the spotlight.

As assistant director of advancement at the Greater Victoria Art Gallery, she is a graceful presence, apart from the non-descript, two-by-four piece of pinewood she has tucked under her arm. Along the spine of the wood is a chronology of years past that correspond to miniature weather drawings, laid out like a primitive iPhone app.

“It’s superstition. I say that the Paint-In will not be rained out,” she explains before rap-ping gently on the wood.

Her fastidiousness as co-ordinator for the TD Art Gallery Paint-In the past 12 years seems to have worked, as each drawing dis-plays a shining sun.

“Last year, I was sorely tested. At 10 min-utes before opening, somebody turned off the tap. But it was a downpour like you rarely see here,” she said.

Now in its 25th year, the Paint-In has blos-somed into an annual celebration that show-cases more than 160 artists and attracts close to 35,000 visitors along the length of

Moss Street in Fairfield.It has come a long way since its humble

beginnings in the gallery’s Art Rental and Sales office, when the likes of Bill Porteous and Fleming Jorgensen put pieces up for sale.

Threadkell attended her first Paint-In in 1988 and became enthralled with the unique opportunity it presented to view artists engaged in the creative process.

“I saw Toni Onley ... painting on Dallas Road on the waterfront. He was painting about 12 watercolour pieces at the same time. He had them all taped to boards, spread out on the grass,” she says.

While many artists sell their work at the Paint-In, it’s also an ideal opportunity for art-ists to demystify their process and illustrate the differences between mediums, from paint to chalk to sculpting.

“A lot of people are looking for an art teacher as well, and this is an ideal place to find someone whose work really interests you,” Threadkell said. “It’s a phenomenal opportunity for artists. There’s nothing any-where like it.”

In addition to the artists on display along Moss between Fort Street and Dallas Road, the art gallery parking lot will be packed with food and drink vendors, as well as a stage featuring Latin band Kumbia.

TD, the title sponsor, will also have a “Mon-ster Mural,” a metres-long canvas that can be painted by all attendees.

On Saturday morning (July 21), Thread-kell will be gently co-ordinating 200 volun-teers, police officers and thousands of curi-ous onlookers, but when she steps out into the warm sunshine, she’ll be sure to tap her lucky charm one last time.

UVic school continues summer music festival

The Victoria Summer Music Festival, at the Phillip T. Young Recital Hall at UVic’s School of Music is on July 24, 26, 28, 30 and 31. Pre-concert talks start at 6:35 p.m., concerts at 7:30 p.m. For details, go to vsmf.org.

The Victoria Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists’s Pipes Around the Pacific 2010 festival garnered such enthusiasm for Victoria’s organ venues and the music heard within them, that the deci-sion was easily made to present subsequent festivals.

Next week three of the world’s finest concert organists will arrive in Victoria, offering the opportunity to hear brilliant per-formances on each of the city’s three largest pipe organs.

Wednesday, July 25, American organist Peter Richard Conte will play Alix Goolden Hall’s historic 1910 Casavant instrument.

Conte is Grand Court Organist of the world famous Wanamaker

Organ at Macy’s Philadelphia department store. It’s the largest fully functioning musical instru-ment in the world. In addition to his concert career, he serves as Choirmaster and Organist of St. Clement’s Church, Philadelphia.

Thursday, July 26, Canadian native David Enlow performs on St. John the Divine’s remarkable 1961 Casavant. He is Organist and Choir Master of the Church of the Resurrection in New York City.

Friday, July 27, the final festi-val concert will feature Montreal organist Isabelle Demers at the magnificent 2005 Helmuth Wolff organ of Christ Church Cathe-dral.

The public is invited to come

and enjoy three wonderful musi-cal evenings – and the chance to compare and contrast three distinctive musical personali-ties performing at the three very different pipe organ venues on Quadra Street in downtown Vic-toria.

All concerts begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are available in advance at Long and McQuade, Ivy’s Book Shop, Munro’s Books, offices of St. John the Divine and Christ Church Cathedral, or at the door on concert evenings. Single Ticket: $25, Festival Pass – for all three concerts: $65. Performers’ bios and program details are on the festival website at rcco-victo-ria.org/festival.

Ninja Tune UK artist Bonobo will be playing in Victoria on July 25 at Club 9One9. This is his first Canadian date since his Black Sands Remix album came out earlier this year.

The original Black Sands came out in 2010 to critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success. Si Green, also known as Bonobo, moved from being an underground producer to a

poster boy for a new take on electronic music – contempo-rary and edgy but also soulful and song-based.

Bonobo will be in Victoria promoting Black Sands Remix, which gathered a group of like-minded musicians and produc-ers to interpret Bonobo’s classic album.

Most of the material has never been heard before and has been

collected with assistance from renowned DJ and label-head Alexander Nut.

Bonobo takes the stage at Club 9One9 on Wednesday, July 25 at 10 p.m.

Tickets start at $15 and are available at Lyle’s Place, Ditch Records, the Strathcona Hotel and online at clubzone.com/innergroove.

ROAD TO LONDONA celebrat ion of ou r Olympic a th letes

Travis PatersonNews staff

Crashes won’t be the end of Ryder Hesjedal. The great Canadian cyclist may be out of the Tour de France, but that’s all behind him now.

With the Olympics looming, Hesjedal is still recovering from a brutal fall during Stage 6 that forced him to withdraw from the Tour on July 6.

It’s a balance of rest, precaution and training, as Hesjedal completes a quick turnaround to ready himself for the London Olympics, where he’ll represent Canada in the 250-kilometre road race on July 28 and in the 44-km time trial on Aug. 1.

The 2012 Giro d’Italia winner is eyeing a podium finish in the Olympics, and he’s expected to improve on his 2008 results – 16th in the time trial and 54th in the road race. Hesjedal wore the maple leaf at the 2004 Games as a mountain biker but didn’t complete the race due to a flat tire.

Even before he won the Giro in May, Hesjedal said he wanted to represent Canada in the Olympics, a statement he reiterated after the fateful July 6 crash.

“It’s very disappointing to leave the (Tour de France) that way … I was in good form and feeling comfortable,” said Hesjedal, a native of the West Shore. “I’ll keep working with the medical staff on my recovery, and re-focus everything on the Olympics.”

Until the crash, Hesjedal was in the hunt for the Tour lead, and had avoided the crashes and pile-ups that set him back in the 2011 Tour. But the bad luck returned. Regardless, Hesjedal now moves from Tour contender to a medal hopeful at the Olympics.

Instead of worrying about the mighty Alps, Hesjedal is eyeing up the 2.5-km, 4.9-per-cent incline of Zig Zag Road, the most challenging section of London’s road course. To challenge riders, Zig Zag will be done repetitively, part of the 15-km Box Hill loop. Cyclists will bike 70-km one way to the entrance of the Box Hill loop and complete it nine times, and then do a one-way, 42-km route back into London.

SPORTSNEWSIN BRIEF

A triathlete’s quest to join the pro ranksTravis PatersonNews staff

At 19, James Cook ignored some of the key wisdoms those in the triathlon com-munity had to offer.

He wanted to do Ironman Canada, and he did it.

It’s a major accomplishment, but not one that’s recommended for triathletes until they near that magical age of 30.

Four years later, the 23-year-old is on the cusp of becoming an elite pro in the Olympic distance. He’s been training like a pro for over a year, and is deeply invested in competing for money on the Interna-tional Triathlon Union circuit, awaiting his approval for the Kelowna ITU on Aug. 19. Race organizers will overlook his recent results to see if he is worthy of the “elite” status that goes with being a pro.

If he’s approved, it’ll be his first pro race.

Cook was never on the ITU junior scene, and does not have the benefit of coming through Canada’s successful national triathlon centre, based here in Victoria.

Instead, he’s trying to enter the world stage through the side door.

Cook continued his strong run on the amateur circuit on Sunday when he fin-ished sixth overall at the Peach City Clas-sic Triathlon in Penticton, a return home for the Summerland product who now lives in Saanich.

“Growing up in the Okanagan, (Ironman) was the only exposure to triathlon I knew and that was my goal,” Cook said.

“At the time I was young and naive, but I’m really glad I did it. I don’t have any regrets about (that race), I just wish I’d moved into the short distances earlier.”

While Ironman is famous for its gruelling 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km bike and mara-thon run of 42-km, the Olympic (1.5-km swim, 40-km bike and 10-km run) and sprint (half the Olympic) distances are no small feat, as the tempo is faster.

And speed is one of the key reasons elite coaches in the triathlon community rec-ommend sticking with sprint and Olympic distances until athletes near the age of 30. Until then the body is still developing, and

though it can recover well, it’s believed there is an increased likelihood for inju-ries.

Cook relocated here to study kinesiology at the University of Victoria and never left. He now balances his triathlon training with his job in occupational health and safety with Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Last year he boosted his training reg-imen and it’s not only been exhausting, but it’s also a learning experience. Cook’s coach, Jairus Streight, is just two years Cook’s senior. Streight, unlike Cook, is an accomplished athlete from the ITU junior circuit who has since taken up coaching.

“Streight has a great knowledge of the sport already, but yeah, he’s also learning it on the way, and we’re learning together,” Cook said.

The results are proof enough.Cook finished second at the Shawnigan

Lake Triathlon in May and fourth at the Victoria Triath-lon on June 17, a pair of Sub-aru Western Triathlon Series races with pretty competi-tive fields.

“I’m a completely different athlete from last year. And although I was disappointed with sixth place at the Peach Classic, I was 25th at that

race last year, so I’m happy with the over-all picture.”

While Cook is awaiting to hear about his Kelowna triathlon approval, he’s also awaiting word on whether or not he’ll be going through the eight-month application process for medical school.

The aspiring doctor still has plenty of tri-athlon years ahead of him, but the comitt-ment to medical school could mean the difference between Cook competing for a national championship one day, or not.

In the meantime, he loves the science of his sport and will continue competing and training at full throttle.

“Right now Jairus and I are just trying to analyze if I did too heavy of a training block prior to the Peach Classic.

“I was good in the swim, but had a rough bike. The legs just weren’t there.”

Cook will continue racing as amateur sta-tus in the sprint distance of the Sooke Tri-athlon on Aug. 12, a tune-up for Kelowna, as well as the Subaru triathlon series in Banff on Sept. 8 and the New Zealand ITU in October.

Heat of the summer

Mark Brett/Black Press

James Cook of Victoria starts out on the cycling portion of the Peach City Classic Triathlon in Penticton Sunday. The Victoria athlete was sixth overall, finishing the Olympic distance race in just under two hours and 14 minutes.

“Growing up in the Okanagan, (Ironman) was the only exposure to triathlon.”

– James Cook


Still jet lagged on Tuesday after his Monday flight back from Japan, ulti-mate frisbee player Chris Carmack was fumbling his way through the day.

Carmack is one of four local players with the Nomads, a displaced team of form UVic students that came together to win the men’s over-33 World Ulti-

mate frisbee Championship last week.“(Japan is) eight hours behind us

so it’s quite a jump in time zones and I’m still dizzy from the whole thing,” Carmack said.

The Nomads were born from the ultimate frisbee league at UVic. When the players graduated and moved on, they made a pact to continue playing together at major tournaments.

With the players now spread across Canada, Carmack is in awe his team

could come together so well.“Winning the world is a monumen-

tal, epic achievement. To think a team of university students have kept the contacts alive is a testament to broth-erhood, a testament to guys being friends.”

Several of the Nomads are for-mer members Vancouver’s Furious George, and previously won national and world titles.

Shamrocks inching closer to post-season

Season could have been better, says Jr. Rocks GM


With the Victoria junior Shamrocks season over, general manager Rod Wood believes his head coach Larry Smeltzler never got a proper chance.

Injuries, unlucky and all, haunted the team right through to its early exit from the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs on Sunday, when the New Westminster Salmonbellies finished a two-game sweep of the best-of-three series.

“Injuries were the undoing,” Wood said. “Our season is 21 games, and it wasn’t until the 17th game we were able to make a healthy scratch.”

Smeltzer’s brazen approach to the season was refreshing for long-time fans of the box game, but at mid-season it was clear he needed an adjust-ment, and he made one.

“It was difficult for (Smeltzer) to bring his sys-tem in without consistent players at the practices. He was always starting from scratch.

“Midway through we used a hybrid system using the good points of (Smeltzler’s1980s-era) system, and the good points of the current way of playing box lacrosse,” Wood said.

“I think it would have won us a championship. If (Smeltzer) wants to come back, we’ll be happy to give it another shot. We figured it would take a while to get it in place.”

This year’s injury list went from bad to worse, with the type of fluke injuries that curse a season.

Brody Eastwood, Devon Casey, Brandan Smith and Dane Schoor were among the injured.

“It was one after another, all pretty significant players,” Wood said.

Returning to the Jr. Shamrocks next year are 14 players from the 2010 B.C. Intermediate-A provin-cial championship Victoria team.

Rocks clip rivals


With a huge win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Tuesday, the Victoria Shamrocks moved a lot closer to clinching a Western Lacrosse Association playoff spot.

In a contest with dire implica-tions, the Shamrocks took a 7-3 lead over the Salmonbellies, let the lead slip to 8-7 in the third period, but salvaged the win.

The win puts the Shamrocks (8-6) into a three-way tie for sec-ond place, and puts an end to the Shamrocks’ four-game losing streak.

“Losing four straight you can become a fragile team, and we avoided that,” said coach Bob Heyes.

“That win was a microcosm of our entire season,” Heyes said. “We take over control at times, then at other times we make it

difficult on ourselves.”The Shamrocks outscored the

Salmonbellies 2-1 and 5-2 in the first two periods.

It was hard to pinpoint what was difficult about the third period, when the Salmonbellies came back from 7-3 to within a goal, other than the Salmon-bellies stabilizing their defen-sive game, which was dismal in second-period. Kory Kowalyk, Karsen Leung and Corey Small each scored twice for the Sham-rocks, with Matt Yager scor-ing on a breakaway and Ben McCullough adding the empty-netter.

For Shamrocks captain Matt Lyons, it’s another big win in the ongoing rivalry with New West, a rivalry which he parachuted into three years ago.

“It’s an especially big win with the league being so tight right now. It’s chippy, but that rivalry is how old? It’s not going any-where.”

The WLA rivalry is actually

62 years old, but Victoria teams have been playing against New West since the 1880s.

Next up for the Shamrocks is the Maple Ridge Burrards (2-12) at home on Friday night, fol-lowed by a road game against the first-place Langley Thunder (10-5) on Saturday.

It’s the first time recently acquired Derek Lowe will face his old team.

“Maple Ridge will play with pride, and Lowe will want to show well, so we’ll be moti-vated,” Heyes sad.

The Shamrocks will conclude the season with a home-and home versus the Nanaimo Tim-bermen, in Victoria on July 27 and Nanaimo on July 28.

Clouds good for growersArt Knapp employee Margaret MacIntyre dead heads the geraniums to make them perfect for flower shoppers at the Mattick’s Farm garden store. The cloudy weather this year has been perfect for blooms prolonging the growing season for spring flowers like the pansies.

Devon MacKenzieNews staff

The snip of scis-sors was heard last

Thursday, July 12 as the ribbon was cut on the new Thrifty Foods retail support centre.

The 152,000-square

-foot facility, which cost about $31 million to complete, won’t replace the grocery chain’s Keating X Road

facility, but rather will offer more space for Thrifty to take on some of the distribution they used to outsource.

“We never used to distribute our fresh meat, so that’s a major change with this facil-ity,” said Thrifty Foods president Jim Dores

“It will also handle the distribution of gro-cery and frozen items and dairy to all Thrifty Foods stores, as well as the 40 or so inde-pendent wholesale cus-tomers we have.”

Dores said the loca-tion of the facility on Victoria airport prop-erty made sense in terms of both location and land use.

“We chose to put it where it is because of the proximity to the ferries and the major arteries. Also we’re committed to the Island and the green space it offers so we wanted to locate it somewhere that it would make sense,” said Dores.

Construction of the new facility started in November 2010 and it currently employs about 50 people, but as operations ramp up, that number will grow, Dores said.

The ceremony was attended by Dores, MP Elizabeth May, MLA Murray Coell and North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall who all helped to cut the rib-bon on the new build-ing at 1893 Mills Rd.

Our Size

The Biggest & Best Variety–Dark, Crisp & SweetOur farmers will only pick our cherries once they’re plump, sweet, and ready to eat. They wait until the cherries swell in size to 9.5 (28mm) or larger. The bigger the cherry, the more delicious flesh to eat!
