Graffiti vandalism hotspots an ongoing issue as police target the worst offenders

Travis PatersonNews staff

Graffiti vandals usually start by scribbling their nameplate, or tag, with permanent marker along telephone poles, mailboxes and school walls close to home.

But the longer those “bubblegum level” tags are left unchecked, the more likely they’ll prog-ress into prolific – and costly – vandalism for Saanich or any other community, says Saanich police Const. Mark Pamminger.

“Leave tags there for a month, and it might as well be a 4,000 per cent chance of increase,” says Pamminger, who leads Saanich PD’s anti-

graffiti program.In Saanich, the battle against tagging has

made great strides in a short period of time, though it remains an ongoing problem. The community has come forward to help paint over and reclaim tagging “hotspots,” such as the Seaton Street pedestrian underpass, Mount Tolmie, Tillicum Bridge and areas along the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails. Tags have also been increasing in Gordon Head recently. While residents tend to associate an increase in graffiti with other types of crime, Pamminger says property crime and tagging aren’t usually connected.

“Generally speaking, there is a decrease in

crime (in Saanich), but graffiti is the most vis-ible crime in our community,” he says. “Graf-fiti promotes an image that an area is unsafe and it can attract other crimes. This is why it’s important to report and clean up the graffiti immediately.”

A former hotspot is Tolmie Lane, which bor-ders Victoria and Saanich on the east side of Douglas Street. Like the Seaton Street tunnel below the Trans-Canada Highway, Tolmie Lane is now largely tag-free, thanks to community initiative and a surge of clean-up work.

Cattle lot threatens 100 treesTravis PatersonNews staff

Saanich Mayor Frank Leon-ard is promising to fight any attempt to cut down more than 100 trees at a Gordon Head cat-tle feed lot.

A staff report made available Tuesday notes several ongoing concerns around the Alberg family cattle feedlot on Mount Douglas Cross Road.

The five-acre lot is being used to raise 42 head of cat-tle while the Albergs and the municipality remain at odds over how to proceed with rezoning the land for residen-tial use and removing it from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The Albergs plan to add another 12 cows to the feed lot this season.

In the meantime, about 100 Garry oak trees on the prop-erty are under threat after the Albergs applied for a tree removal permit from the Distrit of Saanich to make room for manure storage.

About 25 trees were already cut down because the owners believed a tree cutting permit had been obtained, said Don Alberg, who co-owns the feed lot property with his siblings, Gordon Alberg and Florence Davis.

“We paid for it [the permit] and we figured we had the per-mit and everything,” Don said.

Kevin LairdVictoria News

A run with Mike Suminski is equivalent to three doses of a high-energy drink. His arms stretch wide. He lifts his nose to inhale the fresh forest air atop Mount Finlayson as a small group of runners ascend the 419-metre mountain at Goldstream Provincial Park.

With the enthusiasm of a young boy, Suminski asks the runners, how their day is going. He’s intently interested in the response, and as he leaves the mountain top, he jokingly reminds them to be “careful with the bears.”

It’s clear Suminski loves trail running. It’s obvious in the way he runs the trail with bounds of endless energy and always ready with a laugh or quick-witted remark. Ask him of question about running form or where the trail goes, he’s only too happy to offer assistance.

Suminski, 62, has become somewhat of a legend on local trails.

“There’s nobody in town who runs who hasn’t heard of Suminski’s group or run with it,” said Moe Beaulieu, a longtime running mate of Suminski.

The group – loosely called Suminski Runners – has been around for more than 10 years. It started out as a clinic where runners would pay Suminski upwards of $100 to learn how to run the many wooded trails in Greater Victoria.

When the Capital Regional District wanted to start charging Suminski a fee for using the park because he was running a business, he decided to drop the clinic but keep the runs going.

These days, Suminski notifies the runners every week by email where the Sunday where the run will take place. The massive list, Suminski estimates, has more than 200 names. Every run is free.

“The social aspect, at least for me, is a big part of it,” Suminski said. “I love my running, but I really love the social aspect of it.”

Most Sundays, between 20 to 30 runner comes out and run anywhere from two to six hours on the trails. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or seasoned vet, you’re always welcomed.

“A lot of people fear coming out because they feel intimidated, but I always tell them we have five or six different pace groups, so nobody is left out,” Suminski said.

The Suminski Runners have certainly gone through their

trials and tribulations.Three members of the group

have fought back throat cancer, and a fourth battled the disease before he joined in on the runs. Another was recent diagnosed with lymphoma.

But still they run.The group has at least a dozen

people who have completed a 50-kilometre ultramarathon, which as Beaulieu points out is “pretty phenomenal” considering the number of runners.

Larry Taylor, 66, is one of those runners.

Last year at the age of 65, he completed his first-ever 50-mile

ultramarathon. He backed it up this spring by running a 25-kilometre race one day and a 50-kilometre the next.

“I was hooked the first day (with trail running). It’s like church for me,” Taylor said.

He added though that the one thing that keeps people motivated is Suminski.

For Suminski it is all the positive people around him.

“I found trail running such a positive environment when I discovered it,”he said.

“It was so much better than running on the streets.”

POLICENEWSIN BRIEF

Man robs store with knife

Saanich police are looking for a man who brandished a kitchen knife and demanded cash at a Burnside Road West convenience store Monday night.

The man walked into a 7-Eleven store in the 100-block of Burnside Rd. W. and after receiving some cash, escaped on foot around 11 p.m.

No one was physically harmed during the incident.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, six feet tall with a skinny build.

At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a dark-coloured hooded sweatshirt, a dark coloured balaclava, blue jeans and running shoes.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to call Saanich police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Bad MDMA batch on streets

A 19-year-old Saa-nich man is facing drug charges after two teens overdosed on what they thought was Ecstasy on Sunday night.

Two young girls purchased and con-sumed MDMA, com-monly referred to as

Ecstasy or “M,” and were spotted in a state of excited delirium in Cordova Bay, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

“Our officers fol-lowed protocol and contacted B.C. Ambu-lance Service, who then transported the girls to hospital,” Eas-sie said.

The teens were admitted, and while one girl showed quick signs of recovery, the other teen deteriorated rapidly and was admit-ted to the Intensive Care Unit.

“Doctors were con-cerned she was going to die as a result of ingesting this sub-stance,” Eassie said.

Police were able to trace the drug to a home in Wilkinson Val-ley, where they seized 90 grams of a “pow-

der substance” and arrested a 19-year-old man.

Police are remind-ing people to use an abundance of caution if using the illegal sub-stance.

Fire truck thieves thwarted

A man in posses-sion of nearly $10,000 in gear stolen from a West Shore fire department truck was arrested after he led Saanich police straight to his home by com-municating over the stolen radios with a friend.

The fire vehicle was left in front of a mechanic’s shop after breaking down on Sunday, but rear doors were left unlocked.

$9,500 in equip-ment, including por-

table radios, tools and an axe was stolen, said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

“One of the West Shore fire depart-ments contacted us, and they weren’t sure why they were hear-ing this unauthorized communication com-ing through on their radio,” Eassie said. “Based on the infor-mation that was being discussed, we were able to locate and arrest the suspect and subsequently recover all the stolen prop-erty.”

“For somebody to be as brazen as this and take the radio for their personal use per-haps wasn’t the wisest choice,” Eassie added.

A 40-year-old man is facing charges in the incident.

Graffiti battle ongoing

Continued from Page A1

“My predictions were the graf-fiti would come back quickly, but we’ve had maybe just a few tags since the (organized) paint out,” says Ashley Galaude, ser-vice advisor at Rand Automotive, a major tenant that backs onto the alley. “Anything that’s shown up, we’ve been on top of it and painted over it right away.”

Galaude was part of a spring clean-up that drew volunteers from Target, B.C. Hydro, Telus and other neighbours. A similar initiative took place near Tillicum Centre last month.

The paint out also helped limit the laneway’s other ongoing issue of dumping, which has been less frequent since the tags were removed, Galaude says.

The only way to truly stop graffiti vandalism is to remove it immediately, says Pamminger, who has been delving deep into the mind of the suburban tagger. He’s currently implementing sev-eral targeted anti-graffiti investi-gation techniques that he hopes will garner successful charges against a few key individuals.

“The most prolific taggers keep doing it into their late teens and then their 20s,” he says. “It’s a small minority doing the great majority of the tagging we see.”

On a larger scale, increased patrols by Saanich police officers and Saanich public works crews are integral after an area cleanup.

The end goal is to slow and eventually stop the ongoing rit-ual of graffiti that exists in Saan-ich’s suburban areas. But catch-ing a vandal in the act – thereby securing a definitive connection between a suspect and their tag – isn’t so easy.

“They know it’s something they can be caught for, so they’re careful not to be caught, but they want to be seen,” Pam-minger says.

Many vandals who leave a trail of tags are actually skilled artists, he adds. But when those artists don’t see their tagging as a crime, it’s a problem.

Other strategies, such as a designated graffiti wall, have also proved ineffective. Graffiti walls end up inviting additional tags or vandalism to the area as the perpetrators seek a fresh canvas to paint on.

A typical prolific tagger will leave his or her home and then leave a trail of tags throughout a neighbourhood, and some tag-gers share their work on social media for bragging rights. Pam-minger cautioned people not to share those posts, as it gives taggers exactly what they want.

In Pamminger’s experience, parents are usually unaware of

the tools used for graffiti. It’s not necessarily spray paint cans. Many taggers use black, white and fluorescent perma-nent markers.

If you see a tag in Saanich, notify police by calling the non-emergency line at 250-475-4321. Call 911 to report illegal tagging in progress.

[email protected]

Did you know?n Each tag is a signature word or acronym used for several years. Because of this, police are able to develop intelligence on prolific offenders.

n Saanich currently spends about $100,000 annually on graffiti removal.

Exhibition of famed potter’s work displayed at AGGV

Wouldn’t a conversation with famed potter Lucie Rie be compelling?

Rie, whose life story is as awe-inspiring as her work, will be celebrated at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria this month when the exhibition, Conversations with Lucie Rie, opens Friday (Oct. 17).

One of the most influential potters of the 20th century, Rie achieved damehood in 1991, and is renowned for her modernist aesthetic of spare lines and textured surfaces.

Her career spanned seven decades during the 20th century and culminated in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1994 to 1995 – the year of her death.

Rie was born in Vienna in 1902, and was forced to leave behind a burgeoning arts career when she fled from the Nazis in 1938 to England.

In London, Rie re-established herself through her own artistic language and studio at Albion Mews.

“The exhibition considers the development of Rie’s work and the impact she had on her contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists, curators, collectors, and admirers,” said Toby Lawrence, the exhibition’s curator.

“It also highlights the friendships and dialogue she established through her practice as a studio potter.”

The Gallery will have 19 of Rie’s pieces in its collection.

All but one of the works were donated by B.C. resident Nedra Jane Paul, a teacher who pur-chased the pieces in 1967.

Also on exhibit from the AGGV’s collection will be a pot by Hans Coper, Rie’s cherished friend and studio assistant from 1947-1958, and two works by renowned British potter Bernard Leach, with whom Rie studied.

As well as including works by Rie, Coper, and Leach, the exhibition will feature two contempo-rary works, a collage portrait titled Dame Lucie Rie by the late Canadian artist, Stephen Andrews, as well as a video of the performance Lucie Rie vs. Grindcore by British multi-disciplinary artist Keith Harrison.

The AGGV will host Harrison in Victoria, where he will present a public artist talk at Camosun College on Oct. 28, at 2:30 p.m.

Ebola response lacking, warns nurses union headJeff NagelBlack Press

B.C.’s nurses are “legitimately scared” about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader popu-lation, according to their union president.

B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospi-tals but were ultimately ruled out.

Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case.

A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection.

Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff.

“This cannot wait until there is another sus-pected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly dis-ease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.”

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities.

“Our first priority will be on establishing the pro-cesses to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if

they have to use it they can use it safely and confi-dently,” Kendall told reporters.

He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared.

But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk.

The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” Kendall added.

Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health offi-cials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing.

More suspect cases are also likely since about 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flu-like symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation pending further assessment.

The BCNU letter warns the union has advised members to only care for suspected Ebola patients if they’ve been provided proper equipment and training.

It also urges improved procedures on cleaning and handling garbage, protocols on handling the deceased and asks what contingency plans will be in place when ERs are already full.

Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.

To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Jus-tice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Friday.

The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as

convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to cre-ate a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation.

Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

That would allow existing gov-ernment or private liquor stores

to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintain-ing the regulation that no two liquor outlets can be closer together than one kilometre.

Licensing to sell B.C. wine directly from grocery store shelves, a second recommenda-tion from a province-wide con-sultation on liquor policy reform conducted earlier this year, is still being studied.

Anton said the system “strikes a balance of added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety consider-ations.”

Graffiti mess your problem

If there’s one caveat to take away from today’s feature story, The eye of the tagger (Page A1), it’s this: graffiti vandalism is a community problem and it needs a community fix.

As Saanich police point out on their website, graffiti is an act of vandalism involving painting, drawing, scribbling, or “tagging”

on any surface without the permission of the property owner.

Permitted street art and other graffiti is something to be nurtured and celebrated, but only where appropriate.

Initiatives like community paint outs are a great way to bring people together to tackle tagging, but they need a sustained, repetitive approach to truly discourage culprits.

Esquimalt’s Together Against Graffiti (ETAG) program is a great example for Saanich to follow as the problem of tagging increases in the municipality. That township’s model brings together police, volunteers and municipal crews to act immediately after a tag is reported. ETAG has a reporting hotline that notifies volunteers about a new tag, so that the surface is cleaned quickly.

Saanich police Const. Mark Pamminger has been doing good work by building community relationships to tackle prolific graffiti, but it’s now time for neighbourhood associations to pick up the torch and organize volunteer crews for quick clean-ups. B.C. Hydro provides Pamminger with paint supplies to clean hydro poles, and no doubt other businesses will step up if the call goes out.

Graffiti isn’t just a mess for police and Saanich crews to sort out: it’s everyone’s problem.

Clean neighbourhoods lead to stronger communities. Perhaps a Saanich Together Against Graffiti (STAG) team will pop up and take charge before another tagger has a chance to put the cap back on her permanent marker.

Re: Made-in-Saanich ballot ques-tion to target apathy (News, Oct. 8)

If appreciation from those cham-

pioning regional amalgamation is the expected response to the currently drafted-in-Saanich bal-lot question, those responsible for allowing what could only have been composed by someone with “policy analyst” in their job title will be dis-appointed.

The troubling question is: “Do you support Council initiating a community based review of the governance structure and policies within Saanich and our partner-ships within the Region?”

Such a scatter-gun focus will enable discussion of a wide range of issues. By not addressing the amal-gamation option with a straight-forward question, could the real intention be to delay, obfuscate or mislead?

The expensive multiple failures of our elected leaders within the Capital Regional District to com-plete major projects does not war-rant our giving the present lot the opportunity to amalgamate multiple local governments, and then orga-nize and manage a new larger entity.

After the failed Regional Waste Management program (yes, it’s still all to Hartland Landfill), and the once-again revamped sewage treatment plan (yes, co-ordinated sewage began with the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Commit-tee back in 2006) we’ve hopefully realized that bigger may not be bet-ter, and that attempts at bigger and hopefully more efficient systems frequently fail.

While admitting to perhaps unjustified character assassination of the above-noted (assumed) pol-icy analyst, kudos may soon be due to Mayor Frank Leonard.

What could be delaying tactics by His Worship may provide just enough time to enable Saanich residents to, during the respective amalgamation reviews by regional entities, confirm the inability of some neighbouring local govern-ments to provide leaders with the knowledge, skills and organizational ability required to effectively cre-ate and then manage a new, greater government structure in southern Vancouver Island.

I’m betting Saanich will, for many years into the future, con-tinue to be the best managed local government within the continuing Capital Regional District.

Practical actionsto address climate change

Re: Prescription: fight global warming, Guest View, (News, Oct.10)

Having just read David Suzuki’s last column in Saanich News, and also having just finished reading

Naomi Klein’s ground-breaking book, This Changes Everything (“This” meaning climate change), I am prompted to try and bring it all together. As David says, “We must act now.”

I have 5 suggestions:1. Instead of subsidizing oil and

gas exploration and extraction, give these large amounts of money to the development of Clean Energy, wind, solar, tidal, thermal etc.

2. Stop the construction of the Site C dam and the flooding of prime agricultural land.

3. Prevent the building of the proposed oil pipeline known as the Northern Gateway pipeline.

4. Prevent the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline.

5. Ban oil tankers from navigating the hazardous channels along our West Coast.

I attended Guy Dauncey’s heart-warming talk last week at the Uni-versity of Victoria entitled: Could B.C. become a 100 per cent Renew-able Energy Region?

The answer is yes, if we the pub-lic and our provincial government put our minds to it. We all need to take up the challenge, for the sake of our future generations.

They’re quirky and they’re kooky, and this Halloween, they’re even a little spooky.

Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley and the rest of the Addams clan come to life later this month in the Vancouver Island regional premiere of The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy, at the McPherson Play-

house, Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.In this all-new story,

based on the bizarre and beloved charac-ters created by Charles Addams, Wednesday Addams, that irresist-ible bundle of malice, has grown up and fallen for the wrong type – he’s sweet, smart and from a respectable “warm-blooded” family.

Now, Gomez (Kalei-doscope’s own Roder-ick Glanville) must do something he’s never

done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia (Victo-ria songbird Francesca Bitonti).

Audiences are prom-ised plenty of frightful fun as the Addams are hurled into a night that will change their lives forever.

Directed by Pat Run-dell, with choreogra-phy by Tara Britt and musical direction by Yanik Giroux, the show is bursting with original

songs by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party) and an all-star cast of 45 of local artists, includ-ing Rachel Paxton as Wednesday, Gouda Gabor as the 102-year-old “Cougar” Grandma, Emma Cherris-Kelly as Pugsley, Darren Rath-gaber as the lovable Uncle Fester, and Bran-don Challen (towering at six-foot-10) as Lurch.

As a benefit per-formance for Kalei-doscope Theatre, it’s hoped the per-formances will raise $50,000 to support the theatre’s programming.

Tickets for The Addams Family start at $25, including GST and service charges, available at 250-386-6121 or online at www.rmts.bc.ca The show runs Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 2 at 2 p.m.

Kaleidoscope’s 40th anniversary continues with the Secret Garden, Dec. 6 to 14 at Uptown, Alice: A celebration of Elizabeth Gorrie Feb. 14 and 15 at the Atrium, and the exciting world premiere of CAMP-X by award-winning Cana-dian author Eric Wal-ters, staged outdoors at Fort Rodd Hill & Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites May 23 to 31. Kaleidoscope’s Family Theatre Festival also returns in May to Centennial Square. For details, see www.kalei-doscope.bc.ca.

The Shelbourne Community Kitchen received unanimous support from Saanich council during the public hearing held on Sept.15 that will see a home at 3541 Shelbourne St. transformed into a non-profit food education centre.

The public hearing resulted in the approval of a Temporary Use Permit application that allows the organization to use the address as a central loca-tion and begin renovations.

The launch of a new schedule of programs will begin as soon as the resources are assembled, said Marlene Bergstrom, vice chair of the Shelbourne Community Kitchen.

The group has been running food literacy and meal preparation classes out of St. Aiden’s United and the Lutheran Church of the Cross for

the past year.Since then, clients who drop in to use food ham-

pers have been invited to food preparation classes to help them save money and get more creative with meals.

Last year, in partnership with the Mount Tol-mie Community Association, Camosun Commu-nity Association and local churches, organizers secured a $100,000, three-year grant from the National Lutheran Church to expand their ser-vices.

A lack of fixed address continued to be a hiccup in the long-term viability of the kitchen before the new home was found.

The organization’s new location will provide a place where participants can work in small groups to prepare and share meals together through a variety of programs; learn about and contribute to growing food in urban gardens; connect to a vari-ety of existing community resources; and obtain food support during times of need through a pan-try program.

Find more information at shelbournecommu-nitykitchen.ca or search for the organization on Facebook.

Community kitchen sails through public hearing

Did you know?n Community Kitchens are a growing trend in Greater Victoria and across Canada, with many organizations working to tackle the complex issues of food insecurity by providing a supportive environment for participants to expand their food skills by learning with others.

What’s in Your Beauty Products?

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day dur-ing her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preserva-tive in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestro-gens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens cre-ating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate can-cer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environ-mental toxins and helps to bring back hormone syn-ergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most re-searched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-car-binol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Safety Tip:Roundabouts can improve road safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. A few tips: yield to traffi c already inside the roundabout; keep moving once in the roundabout; signal a right turn before you exit; and yield

to pedestrians and cyclists crossing the entry/exit lanes.

Question of the WeekThe government’s EnerGuide says its fuel consumption estimates are now based on more real world tests. Have you ever come close to getting the kind of fuel consumption estimated for your current vehicle?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

If you have to haul, do it in styleDEL MAR, California.It’s a quintessential SoCal (Southern California) morning.The marine layer is in full effect; blocking a would-be gorgeous sunrise. Yet that doesn’t stop avid sports enthusiasts from taking a run along the beach. Or taking to the water for some morning wave action.Nor does it stop couples from walking arm-in-arm, with their hands occupied by their morning coffee, and their midsize breed of pooch following close by. However, something does turn their heads.A host of all-new 2015 midsize trucks have them perplexed. They’ve nev-er seen these kinds of Canyons or Colorados gracing the streets before and wonder what all the commotion is about.Then again, it’s not uncommon to see midsized trucks in this part of the world. In fact, they’re a dime a dozen. Most are outfitted with surf racks, toolboxes or have gear loaded in the bed. They are put to good use.Anita Burke, GM’s chief vehicle engineer of midsize trucks, explained what makes this category of relatively small truck popular. The versatility and usability of these trucks appeal to small business owners, families or even outdoor lovers.

With a 12.5-metre turn-ing radius – which we put to the test when we want to make a U-turn to take some photos – it’s quite impressive. Furthermore, it’s the all-in-one midsize truck without compromise. It has the segment’s best horsepower thanks to two great engines. The first being a 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, the next being a 3.6L, V6 with 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired to

a 6-speed automatic transmission; a 6-speed manual is available on select extended cab 2WD modelsCome 2015, a 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Die-sel is scheduled to join in the engine lineup.Want to tow a couple of dirt bikes, or mount a couple of kayaks on the rear? Sure! Not a problem. As I drove through Del Mar with a trailer hitched to the back that carried two incredibly clean dirt bikes, I barely felt they were there. The V6-endowed Chevy Colorado (or GMC Canyon) tows up to 3,175 kg (7,000 lbs.) with the trailering package, so it has ample oomph to get it up some tough grades without breaking a sweat.When you want to access the bed – regardless of trim – they all come with

a standard CornerStep rear bumper. You’ll also find 13 standard tie-down locations throughout the bed that you can use with available, movable cargo tie-down rings.Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s con-figurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items.Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers.The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – some-thing I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features.One is its quietness. Whether driving

the four or six-cylinder variants, no rattles, bangs or buzzing were heard. I actually couldn’t believe my ears as to how serene the cabin was. I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well.The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus.If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695).

DrivewayBC.caMaking sense of the new fuel consumption rating systemBy Bob McHugh

A new fuel con-sumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Govern-ment of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle.As before, vehicle manufacturers are re-quired to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consis-tent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calcula-tions. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption.The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving.That said, and also as before, an owner’s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool

that gives approxi-mate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfmThe more fuel a ve-hicle burns is directly

related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehi-cle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. It’s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plug-in hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term “fuel consumption” may become obsolete, sometime in the future. Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, you’ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, side-by-side. If you don’t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, it’s easy to assume that it’s a less fuel efficient vehicle and that’s almost certainly not correct. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during day-to-day driving in the real world.

Camry undergoes major updateBy Zack Spencer

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country.Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

LooksWhen a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catch-ing design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design. InsideInside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE

trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology.

DriveNot just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.

VerdictWhat haven’t been updated are the engine and trans-mission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style.

On Tuesday morning Tillicum Elementary will launch its newest physical literacy initiative called fit and fuel.

The program works in part with the Tillicum’s hot breakfast plan, adding a 30 minute unit of sports and exercise before school starts. It’s the fifth physical literacy class in Tillicum’s schedule, as there are currently four after school classes, Monday-Thursday for two hours each.

“This is our fourth year running physical liter-acy programs and we’ve seen way more engage-ment from our students since the first year,” says principal Lori Burley of Tillicum Elementary. “It’s at the point now where we have waiting lists for our programs, with 20 to 25 kids in each of the four after school classes.”

Burley’s seen a huge spinoff effect from the physical literacy classes.

“Numbers are up in other programs, such as basketball and cross country running, and of course there’s better all-around sportsmanship and confidence with a lot of the kids. We don’t see such acting out, and kids understand the concept of games, and learn how to play competitively and non-competitively.”

Kelly Graham was just a student when she started with the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence.

The PISE building was still in its planning stages, and Graham had yet to finish her bachelor of sport and fitness leadership degree at Camo-sun College.

The Lambrick Park secondary grad has seen PISE come to fruition as a one-stop-shop for high performance sports science, sports and injury recovery, and a place for everything and anything that can enhance training. In 2011 Graham joined the physical literacy program and last year she took on the full time program coordinator role.

“When PISE was in its planning stages we didn’t know physical literacy would be what it is, and it’s become a vehicle for PISE’s community pres-ence,” Graham said.

PISE originally launched the ABCs of physical literacy as an outreach program in places such as the Cridge Centre for the Family, Craigflower and Tillicum elementary schools.

See Classes expand on Page A23

Kelly Graham is the Physical Literacy Coordinator at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence.

Don Denton/ News staff

Did you know?n PISE’s physical literacy’s budget is $250,000 and growing. n Funding comes from the province through the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Victoria Foundation, KidSport, Saanich Parks & Recreation, Aboriginal Sport, Recreation and Physical Activity Partners Council, Island Savings, ProMOTION Plus and RBC.

Physical Literacy blooms in Saanich

MORE ONLINEsaanichnews.com


Autism specialist and author Stephanie Jull will be in Saanich delivering a free autism awareness workshop at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence on Friday, Oct. 24.

The day-long session runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm.

Jull is a PhD and behaviour ana-

lyst who works as the Canucks Autism Network program director and authored Supporting Children with Autism in Community Recre-ation

Jull teaches community members how to engage children, youth and adults living with autism.

The class is beneficial for rec-reation leaders and community coaches of swimming, gymnastics, soccer, basketball and martial arts and other sports, as well as physi-cal education teachers and group leaders such as Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, and volunteers or support

workers in one-on-one situations. Strategies include communications, behaviour support, coaching, moti-vation and building rapport.

Advance registration is free but required through piseworld.com or at 250-220-2510 (program # 2376).

PISE to host autism work shop


Since then, the budget has blown up with multiple grants coming in, though many go through the 12 schools who’ve partnered with PISE.

With Tillicum’s fit and fuel, which is still in the pilot stage, Graham is now overseeing 41 classes per week in the region.

Most classes are free to students though PISE’s physical literacy pro-grams are now in community recre-ation centres. They offer classes at Burnside Gorge Community Centre, Panorama, Gordon Head Recreation Centre, and Saanich Commonwealth Place.

“We’re looking to keep growing, developing and adding programs, and enjoy working in partnership with the recreation centres,” Graham said.

In addition, Graham works with

two full-time programmers, who also teach, as well as 21 part-time physi-cal literacy leaders. Recreation cen-tres run PISE’s mini-movers class for ages 18 months to three years, the active start for ages three to four and active play classes for ages five to seven.

There’s also the family fitness class at Burnside Gorge Community Centre, in which parents and chil-dren workout together.

South Vancouver Island Dance Archives offi-cially opens at Dance Victoria Studios on Wednes-day (Oct. 22).

The archive was established two years ago and its committee has been collecting, cataloguing and preserving photographs, house programs, press clippings and other memorabilia from the past century.

Its first project was to catalogue the Wynne Shaw collection. Shaw is credited with staging the first North American production of Coppelia, a classical ballet first staged in Paris in 1870.

Shaw’s version played at the Royal Theatre in 1939. She also contributed choreography to film and television and was the owner of a local studio.

Even after her death in 1985, Shaw’s reach and influence still resonates in Victoria’s dance scene today. Her collection will form some of the display at the grand opening.

Recent acquisitions include materials from Florence Clough, active in the early part of the last century.

South Vancouver Island Dance Archives open-ing reception will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Dance Victoria Studios, 2750 Quadra St.

Light lunch and refreshments will be served. RSVP to 250-595-1829 or [email protected].

Glenlyon students featured in major film

Glenlyon Norfolk School students are being fea-tured in a major film that examines the environ-mental work of children across the globe.

Brazilian filmmaker Marcos Negrao visits the school today to talk to Grade 6 to 8 members of the Fin Free Club, who are advocating to end the mass slaughter of sharks for shark fin soup.

The club has caught the attention of MP Finn Donnelly and other politicians as they lobby to ban shark fins from B.C. municipalities and the province.

Negrao’s film, under production with Enigma Filmes and Warner Brothers, will be called Child of Nature. The film features children all over the world who represent all races, creeds, social classes and environments, states a release.

Small business vital to the Saanich economy

DID YOU KNOW?Of the just over 4,700 business licences Saanich issued this year, more than half are for small or home-based businesses.

As Canadians prepare to celebrate Small Business Week, just how important is small business to the local economy? Small business makes up more than 95 per cent of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce membership. Nationally, the Business Development Bank of Canada calls small business “Canada’s engine of job growth.” In fact, “the cornerstone of the Canadian economy,” small and medium-sized businesses account for 99.9per cent of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60 per cent of private sector workers, the BDC notes as it prepares to celebrates this signi� cant sector of the Canadian economy with the annual Small Business Week, Oct. 19 to 25.Celebrating 35 years, the BDC’s Small Business Week recognizes the contributions and achievements of Canada’s entrepreneurs. In Saanich, small business makes up a signi� cant part of the local economy, notes Mayor Frank Leonard. “We know that our local economy is performing well, although the lingering e� ects of the recent downturn are still present. Saanich business licence activity remains strong and we issued just over 4,700 licences this year. Over 50 per

“Small business is the backbone of many local economies in British Columbia and Saanich is no different. Small businesses are also a big part of the community, creating employment, growing the economy and helping pay for the amenities we all enjoy through their property taxes. Their contribution to our community is something we value and recognize during Small Business Week.”

– Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard

cent of them are small or home based businesses.”One of the factors in attracting small business is the livability of a community. “We are very proud of our community – we have been ranked in the top three Best Places to Live in British Columbia two years running by MoneySense magazine,” Leonard notes. “We also try to do our part by making it easier for business to start up and operate. Our One Stop Business Registry and BizPal online information systems are good examples of this work,” Leonard says. “Signi� cant infrastructure replacement tax dollars are also

committed to help provide for the movement of goods and services, such as the recently completed Craig� ower Bridge project.What can consumers do to support small business in their community?“Shop and buy locally where you can. Small business owners are your neighbours – by supporting them you create local employment, strengthen the economy and support your community,” Leonard emphasizes.Basics form the foundation for successful business“More than the convenience of going to

the local store, it’s a sense of community that I believe in,” says Cadboro Bay resident Saija Bunton, in explaining why she chooses to support local businesses. “I like seeing the neighbourhood kids get work, I like the accountability that local businesses have in their services and the pride in their products. � ey are more reliable.”� ose sentiments get at the heart of this year’s Small Business Week theme: Back to Basics.While many successful entrepreneurs talk about the importance of remaining � exible in changing times and being willing to innovate, those same individuals typically also embrace certain fundamentals of good business.“Successful entrepreneurs focus on tried and true strategies to take their companies to the next level,” recognizes Small Business Week founder, the Business Development Bank of Canada. “� ey know there will be challenges on their path to creating and sustaining a competitive business. To prevail, they need the right preparation and a solid roadmap. � at means fostering excellent customer and supplier relationships, applying sound � nancial management principles and hiring the best people.”

Inspiration awaits at the 2014 Victoria Fall Home Expo



“I had informed (the District) it was what we needed to do for the feedlot. Then we cut trees and they said we did it without a permit.”

If the family wants to make the current farming business viable, they need to remove the trees, Don said.

But Mayor Frank Leonard said Saanich has no intention to approve the removal of the trees.

“The (Albergs’) legal council wants a permit to remove trees, and we’ll take measures to not issue the permit,” Leonard said.

The Albergs have made mul-tiple applications to rezone the property for the purposes of a residential development, includ-ing an application for a 16-unit development in March.

At one point the proposals

included covenants to protect the Garry oak meadows.

“The way things are going, there’ll be nothing left to pro-tect,” Leonard said.

The report also suggests to neighbours – many of whom have publicly aired their frus-tration about a feedlot in their backyards – can go to the Farm Industry Review Board.

“The intensity of farm use on the property is of concern to us,” Leonard said. “We’re offer-ing to assist neighbours if they want to go to the FIRB. As more cattle come in it could be said, ‘This is too many.’”

Leonard pointed to the Beck-with Farms use of bird-repelling cannons from 2010 to 2012.

The cannons were used to stave off Canada geese, which killed a reported 12,000 blue-berry plants in a few days, but were eventually cancelled due

to pressure from the neighbours with support from the munici-pality.

The Alberg feedlot tree issue is only the latest development in the ongoing saga.

Both the municipality and the Albergs believe the other side is failing to take action on the matter.

To actualize the property rezoning and residential devel-opment, Saanich says the land first needs to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The Albergs disagree and say there is no legal obligation to do so.

Don Alberg also cites a lack of trust with the city, but remains hopeful a residential rezoning can happen.

“We need to sit down and say look, we’ve gone far enough, it’s an impasse,” Don said.

Daniel Kipkoech took an early lead and never looked back as he won the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Mar-athon Sunday in two hours, 20 minutes and four seconds.

He defeated Thomas Omwenga by seven minutes.

Kipkoech went out fast, aiming for a 2:10 finish but at five kilo-metres he reduced his pace.

“I felt the cool wind off the water and reduced my pace,” Kipkoech said. “I probably hadn’t

recovered from run-ning the Montreal Half Marathon last week, where it was hot and humid. I would like to come back next year and run a 2:10.”

Omwenga, the 2011 and 2012 cham-pion, came second in 2:27:09. Third and top Master was Oliver Utting in 2:29:02.

On the women’s side, Lioudmila Kort-chaguina won in 2:41:39

The women’s race had high expectations with 2013 champion, Victoria’s Catrin Jones

returning and Kort-chaguina, top master at the 2013 Canadian Marathon Champion-ships, making her first appearance in the Vic-toria Marathon.

Kortchaguina win is a Masters course record (the old record was set by Victoria’s Cheryl Murphy in 2009).

Eva Vail, from Port-land, Ore., was sec-ond in 2:45:54. Jones was third in 2:46:51.

Kortchaguina also won the new Top Canadian Citizen prize for a total pay day of

$6,000. Oliver Utting was Top Canadian Citi-zen in the men’s race.

The half marathon was won by Willy Kimosop – his first win in Victoria after plac-ing third in 2012 and 2013. His time of 1:06 was just under a min-ute shy of his personal best.

The women’s Half Marathon was won by Anne-Marie Mad-den from Vancouver in 1:16:35.

The 8K saw ex-Victo-ria native Geoff Martin-son win in 23:38, just 15 seconds short of the course record and the third fastest time ever.

Victoria’s Bruce Dea-con won the Masters in 25:44 – a new record, beating the record he set in 2013 (26:10).

Lindsay Carson from Whitehorse won the women’s race in 27:15.

A marathon age-class record was set in the W60-64 by Lee Anderson, from Cal-gary, in 3:32:38. In the half marathon, Alli-son Penner set a new record in the W-Under 19 – 1:25:21; Arsenault’s time of 1:17:04 was a new W45-49 record. In the 8K, in addition to Bruce Deacon’s new Masters record, Nancy Baxendale set a W50-54 record of 30:49.

There were 8,592 finishers – 1,569 in the marathon, 3,798 in the half marathon, 2,366 in the 8K, and 859 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run.

A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a

new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confi dence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own

money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.And even better... there are no collections required.

Jennifer BlythVictoria News

While house sale prices remain somewhat flat, a significant increase in sales has the Victoria Real Estate Board optimistic about local mar-ket.

Saanich sales helped push the regional numbers to 565 properties sold in September, an increase of 16 per cent over the same month last year.

And the quarter ending in Septem-ber shows a 15 per cent increase in the number of sales overall com-pared to the same quarter in 2013, Victoria Real Estate Board president Tim Ayres said this week.

“We haven’t seen sales like this in September since 2009,” Ayres said in announcing the numbers.

“The balanced market condi-tions we’ve seen over the last seven months mean property prices are stable, so it might be more comfort-able for buyers and sellers to make a move because they know that property values are predictable.”

This predictability means buyers know if they need to wait to find the right house, they needn’t worry about quickly rising prices, and sell-ers know that if they’re priced right, they’ll likely find a buyer.

The Multiple Listing Service Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Vic-toria Core this time last year was $550,900.

This month the benchmark value increased to $556,200. The bench-mark price for Greater Victoria con-dos sat at $287,100 this September, compared to $283,900 in September 2013, while the benchmark for town-houses showed a marginal increase

to $401,500 in September 2014 from $400,000 in 2013.

In this diverse market with a good mix of both entry-level and luxury residences, single-family homes and multi-family properties, Ayres hasn’t noticed a single sector really outper-forming others; the key seems to be in pricing the property appropri-ately, he said.

At the same time, Victoria does seem to show a renewed interest in condominiums.

“The people I talk to that are in condos are definitely noticing an increase in demand or an least

interest that they haven’t seen for awhile,” Ayres said.

“If the projects are smart and they pay attention to what people want, they are going to continue to do well.”

Looking forward, Ayres antici-pates more people in larger mar-kets – Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and to some extent the prai-rie cities – selling their homes and moving west.

“I think it’s only a matter of time before we see some of them (com-ing to the Island),” he said.

Locally, Ayres expects the busy

fall to continue for realtors.“It wouldn’t surprise me to see a

busier October than we’ve seen in a few years,” he said.

“Usually you have until about the last week of November before things start to slow down (for the holidays),” he said, noting that even then, those looking to sell benefit from the typically reduced number of homes on the market.

“Things always open up in the fall and early in the new year; there’s definitely people looking and gener-ally less competition.”

Junior national team prospect

Lexi De Armond of the Mount

Douglas Rams has turned

down NCAA offers for a

chance to play for the UVic

Vikes or UBC Thunderbirds next season.


Wildcat on demandTravis PatersonNews staff

Lexi De Armond doesn’t wait around for things to happen.

The 17-year-old couldn’t help but knock the ball around from a close distance while her Mount Douglas Rams teammates practisedon Tuesday, despite suffering

from an injury. As soon as she’s cleared to play, she will.

De Armond never waited to join the Rams in the first place, having played with the high school senior girls team since she was in Grade 7 at Arbutus middle school. She’s also on Vic-toria’s premier women’s Wild-cats, and is hoping to catch on with the national junior team

after winning the U18 nationals with Team B.C. this summer.

“There’s word of a fall tour for the junior team so maybe I can get into that, I hope,” she said.

The jump between playing with the Rams in the Lower Island school field hockey league to the Wildcats in the premier division of the Vancouver Wom-en’s Field Hockey Association is

a jump that’s sometimes frus-trating, she said.

“It’s a lot of fun playing high school hockey but it’s quite different, I do score more goals off set plays.”

There are other Team B.C. members on the Rams, including a trio of Grade 9 players who were on Team B.C.

“It’s funny, I used to be the young one, and now even on the Wildcats I’m not the youngest anymore.”

So the Rams’ future is good, but the time is now for De Armond and crew to challenge for the league title. They were knocked out of the historic Bridgman Cup over the weekend by Handsworth from North Vancouver. But in four league games the Rams remain undefeated.

Mount Doug plays its next two games of the season, Oak Bay on Monday and St. Michaels University School on Wednesday, at UVic’s water-based turf.

Following that is the Rams’ final regular season match, Oct. 27 versus SMUS II, before the AAA Island playoffs, Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 at UVic. The AA playoffs are coming up, Oct. 24 and 25 at a to-be-deter-mined location up Island.

De Armond will likely suit up for the UVic Vikes or UBC Thunderbirds next year, and hopes to play for the senior national team one day.
