Agencies question city’s call for more diligence in granting housing assistance Roszan Holmen News staff

Social agencies have some reservations about a request from Victoria council to add another criteria to the rental-subsidy checklist. Already, non-profit housing providers struggle to find available housing that is both affordable and safe for their clients. Should Victoria get its way, the agencies may also have to ensure the housing is legal. Don McTavish, manager of shelters for the Victoria Cool Aid Society, questions whether compliance with city bylaws and zoning should be his concern. “Do I care?” he asked. “Whose needs is that serving?” Last week, the City of Victoria wrote to the provincial government, which provides many types of income assistance, including some specifically allocated to rent. In its letter, the city makes the argument that as a funding body, the ministry has a responsibility to ensure public funds are being directed appropriately. That means housing subsidies shouldn’t be paid to landlords of illegal suites or rooming houses. “(The province is) essentially cutting the cheques and walking away,” said Coun. Marianne Alto. “That’s not okay.” The basis for some of the city’s bylaws aren’t arbitrary, she said. “It’s all about public safety and fairness.”

Don Denton/News staff

Don McTavish, manager of shelters for the Victoria Cool Aid Society, works to get clients into rental housing. The issue came up at city council after bylaw officers discovered a number of illegal boarding houses in recent months. When attempts to bring the landlords into compliance failed, enforcement action ultimately displaced some tenants. In several cases, the tenants were receiving a rental subsidy. In May, city council agreed to enforcement action against a property at 830-832 Queens St. The duplex was housing too many people and had electrical and other work done without a permit.

Government funds in, sewage project moving ahead Property taxes to take major jump to pay for treatment infrastructure

Did you know? Here are some quick facts about the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program: Total project cost: $782.7 million Start date: late 2012 or early 2013 Projected completion date: 2018 Annual operating costs to Capital Regional District: $14 million to $15 million Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood, Langford are involved in the project The federal government initiated funding talks with the CRD in 2006

Daniel Palmer News staff

Greater Victoria homeowners are bracing to see an extra $200 to $500 on their annual property tax bills, now that the federal and provincial governments have committed their share of the $782-million cost of building sewage treatment infrastructure. Residents in the seven invested municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal and Colwood will have to absorb the tax hikes until the project is completed in 2018, said Denise Blackwell, chair of the Capital Regional District’s liquid waste management committee. “A lot of people know that this is something that’s been a long time coming and is probably overdue,” she said. “We still have some people who think dilution is the solution, but we’ve been ordered by the provincial government to do it. I believe later this week, the federal government is announcing the new regulations that will mean we have to do it anyway.” The CRD needs to contribute $281 million – approximately one-third of the total cost – of the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program, which includes construction of a treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, upgrades to the conveyance system and a biosolids energy centre. “Fundamentally, it’s time for us to treat our sewage,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. “We just cannot continue to dump our sewage into the ocean.”

The ins and outs of sewage treatment A wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt would extract biosolids, which would then be pumped 18 kilometres to Hartland Landfill in Saanich. There, a biosolids energy centre would dry the material and deposit it in cement kilns, to be housed at Cadboro Bay. Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Denise Blackwell, Langford city councillor and chair of the Capital Regional District’s core liquid waste management committee, speaks at a press conference Monday to announce federal and provincial funding for a new wastewater treatment system for the region. James Moore, second from left, federal minister responsible for British Columbia; Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong, and John McBride, CEO of Public-Private Partnerships Canada were also on hand at the Inn at Laurel Point for the announcement. James Moore, federal minister responsible for British Columbia, was on hand Monday to announce the federal funding portion. He said the project is long overdue.

“This is a quarter of a billion dollars to end dumping of sewage into the waters around Victoria,” he said, adding he expects to see work to begin “later this year.” The next step for the CRD will be hiring a

project manager to oversee the work and to create a bylaw to establish a management committee. The CRD will then receive requests for proposal from various contractors before breaking ground on the project, which is expected to create 10,000 person-years of labour. “I think shovels in the ground at the end of this year is probably a bit optimistic, but beginning of next year for sure,” Blackwell said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Watchdog says administration costs too high in Victoria Roszan Holmen News staff

The City of Victoria spends too much on administrative costs, charges former mayoral candidate and city watchdog Paul Brown. By Brown’s calculations, the city spends a lowball estimate of 13.9 per cent of its budget on administration. “Generally, 10 per cent is the number you shoot for,” he said. At a time when the city is looking to cut $4.3 million from its budget over the next three years, Brown’s message is that these cuts should be to administration, not city programs and services.

Salaries are not way out of line in Victoria, he said. The problem is the number of people earning more than $75,000 a year in salary and benefits, who are likely in management rather than in service delivery, he said. Management is always considered to be an administrative cost, he added. Brown’s presentation of his findings to council July 12 left Coun. Chris Coleman with some questions. Coleman, who chairs the council committee responsible for the budget, agreed with the need to do analysis to ensure the city is getting good value for its dollars. He questioned, however, some

of Brown’s data. “I don’t know if Paul’s numbers are right,” he said. For instance, Coleman asked, who established 10 per cent as the benchmark for municipal administration costs? He also pointed out that a high salary doesn’t necessarily indicate an employee is in a management position. Of 227 employees receiving more than $75,000 a year, 70 per cent are unionized positions, Coleman said. Brown is a consultant on issues of governance. When he ran for mayor in 2011, he was backed by an electoral slate called Open Victoria. The council watchdog group

continues to meet weekly to discuss city issues, though Brown says he has no intention to run again for municipal government. He qualified his own calculations on administrative costs by saying there is no exact way to measure them. Using different models, his estimates of city administration range from 13.9 to 21 per cent. He readily admitted, however, that none of his results are exact, due to a lack of detailed information, and all include some assumptions. He also said he couldn’t name any municipalities with administration costs lower than Victoria’s.

Still, Brown said, it’s time for Victoria to take a close look at its costs. He pointed to departments such as the sustainability department and the communications department. “Council is going to have to give up some luxuries.” rholmen@vicnews.com

By comparison Nanaimo, which has a similar population to Victoria, has 175 employees earning $75,000 or more. Victoria, by contrast, has 227 employees in this income bracket.

She leaves a legacy of 30 years in television with CHEK, and a broadcasting scholarship in her name through Camosun College. Clarkson was born in Victoria and began her career in 1946 as a creative writer for CJVI radio. She later advanced to director of women’s programming. After taking time off to raise a family, she was hired at CHEK-TV in 1961 as a copy editor. One year later, she was asked to co-host a live daily program, which evolved into her own show, which focused on community events and saw her inter-

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered. Dr. Stephen Taylor

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

Dementia patient found using device Daniel Palmer News staff

A local technology is being credited for the safe return of an elderly dementia patient after she wandered away from a Victoria assisted living residence. Project Life Saver uses a locally manufactured transmitter to locate missing persons with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other forms of dementia. The transmitter is about the size of a wristwatch and emits a signal that allows local search and rescue teams to easily locate individuals who have a tendency to wander. On July 10, Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Pacific search and rescue received a call about the missing woman and located her, unharmed, within 40 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 59 per cent of persons with dementia wander off, and of those, 72 per cent will do it repeatedly,â&#x20AC;? said Marjorie Moulton, executive director of We Rage, We Weep Alzheimer Foundation, which offers Proj-

ect Life Saver at no charge to Greater Victoria residents. Ron Bazuk has been participating in the program for the past year, after his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health deteriorated following Bazukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. He is among the two-thirds of people who take full-time care of a family member, rather than rely on assisted living residences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His memory doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last more than a few seconds now,â&#x20AC;? Bazuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He might be able to tell you his wartime serial number, but if you tell him what year it is, he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a few minutes later.â&#x20AC;? The foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website states the survival rate of a person with cognitive impairment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in good physical condition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is only 50 per cent if they are missing up to 24 hours. After 24 hours, they are likely to be severely injured or dead. It was that stark statistic that compelled Bazuk to sign his father up for Project Life Saver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few months back, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been to the store and came back, and

just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find him,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went around the block a few times, and this is the first time I used it. ... I called and it was a matter of five, 10 minutes. They found him ... he was in front of the Empress. He was quite content there, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was any big deal.â&#x20AC;? Bazuk was initially embarrassed of calling for help, something Moulton admits is common amongst new users of the service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People feel maybe a little bit uncomfortable asking an outside party to help, or they think the Search and Rescue have better things to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. We Rage, We Weep Alzheimer Foundation is a charitable organization that also provides art and music classes to those with dementia. Project Life Saver is used by more more than 17,000 people across the United States and Canada. Since 1999, it has been used in more than 2,500 searches and has a 100-per-cent success rate. dpalmer@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Wednesday, July 18, 2012

Police board wary of moving too fast on Justice Ministry recommendations Mediatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report prompts lengthy discussion Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

The Victoria Police Board will ask for help from the Police Services Division of the Ministry of Justice in moving forward with recommendations made in mediator Jean Greatbatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 34-page report, A Framework for Effectiveness, released last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the one group missing,â&#x20AC;? board member Joan Kotarski said during a July 10 discussion of the report, which outlined steps to improve the relationship between Esquimalt and the Victoria Police Department. Police board members also encouraged the municipalities of Victoria and Esquimalt to formally request assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly going to need the assistance from the provincial government on this,â&#x20AC;? agreed board chair, Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The leadership by the province is going to have to continue.â&#x20AC;?

The Police Services Division is responsible for ensuring adequate and effective levels of policing and law enforcement through a variety of measures and oversights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had some concerns with some of the things that are written in there, in terms of accuracy,â&#x20AC;? said board vice-chair, Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving us four months to get this done right in the middle of the summer.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to the municipalities or the board to â&#x20AC;&#x153;move forward with the warp speed thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being asked,â&#x20AC;? she added. The board came to a compromise and agreed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;accept in principle the inaccuraciesâ&#x20AC;? in the report cited by Desjardins and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job today is to receive the report,â&#x20AC;? said board member Karen Kesteloo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second part of our job is to develop a plan. We need to identify that we have a certain time frame.â&#x20AC;? A deadline of Oct. 31 was given by Justice Minister Shirley Bond to have initial recommendations in place. One recommendation called for a framework agreement for

governance and funding of the department to be created by a leadership group including the mayors, Chief Const. Jamie Graham, key municipal staff, the police department comptroller and a member of the police board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff in here we need to look at further to decide what we need to do,â&#x20AC;? said board member Lindalee Brougham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will we truly have a voice as we move forward? Because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been part of the frustration â&#x20AC;Ś we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been part of the negotiations or the prior contract.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;do it right, not fastâ&#x20AC;? method proposed by Brougham won out after an hour-long discussion. The board, not always in agreement on the process, compromised to receive the report, request an appointment from Police Services, ask the two municipalities to make a similar request and meet as a board to develop a response to the report. The board identified Brougham and David Johns as possible appointees to the leadership group. A date was not set for the follow-up meeting. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

YouTube biker sought for criminal charges News staff

A Victoria man suspected of filming himself careening down the Trans-Canada Highway at speeds reaching 300 kilometres per hour now faces a criminal charge. Randy George Scott, 25, was charged in absentia July 10 with a single count of dangerous driving. He is accused of weaving in and out of traffic at high speed on the stretch of highway from McKenzie Avenue past the Millstream interchange on April 6. A two-minute video shot

from behind the handle bars of a Yamaha R1 motorcycle was posted to YouTube on April 8, went viral and quickly caught the attention of police. Police identified Scott early on in the investigation as the suspected driver, but at the time, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough evidence to proceed with charges. Given the initial lack of evidence, said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen, police were only able to issue tickets against the registered owner of the vehicle, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. Those charges under the Motor Vehicle Act are proceed-

OUR VIEW

Victoria braces for the big flush When the provincial and federal governments fork over $500 million, most cities would celebrate the economic benefits of a fresh influx of capital. But after Monday’s announcement that Ottawa and the Province of B.C. will fund twothirds of the $783-million cost of a regional sewage treatment system, it felt more like a day of reckoning. The region’s sewer system users – Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Saanich, View Royal, Colwood and Langford – now must figure out how to extract their share of cash from residents and councils, both of whom are loathe to increase property taxes. Raising $281 million for the construction phase isn’t pocket change. That’s $200 to $500 per household each year until the McLoughlin Point wastewater treatment plant, a biosolids treatment plant and improvements to sewage infrastructure, are complete. Operating costs are estimated at $14 million per year after that. For Victoria residents, it will be interesting to see what the final price tag is for the Blue Bridge. For regional rapid transit, the E&N line is suddenly looking a lot more attractive. After six years and $18 million spent on sewage treatment planning and studies, the region knew this day would come, but decisions on how to divide costs among sewered municipalities, and how to raise those funds in the first place, have remained on the back burner. As dismal as it is to start paying a fat new tax to wring clean the city’s effluent, a few positives can be flushed out, beyond not flushing waste directly into the ocean. The region has the opportunity to employ technologies that extract heat (and energy) from sewage, like many European cities have done for decades. Maximizing resource recovery should be a requirement of the tendering process and not an add-on when the system is done. Recouping costs and easing the taxpayer burden should be priority No. 1. Sewage treatment, too, is an opportunity to examine aging sewer lines in Victoria, Oak Bay and Saanich, some of which have been in service for more than 100 years. The region’s largest-ever infrastructure project has arrived. Start saving your pennies. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

LETTERS Treat graffiti as art, promote creative outlet Not all graffiti unsightly, commuter says (Letters, June 27) I agree, we seem to be zealous about cleaning up everything from people to graffiti. I imagine folks who do graffiti need a creative outlet. I’m glad Saanich has cut back on graffiti removal. Why don’t we approach this in a positive way as they have in Chilpancingo, capital city of the State of Guerrero, Mexico? They have a graffiti school. The results are wonderful. Joanna Wilkinson Victoria

than have the carrier go back and forth to retrieve mail from a lockbox. The free market, protected by a justice system, weeds out the inefficient (too many meetings and consultant studies), the profligate and the “penny wise and pound foolish” (inadequate equipment and no meetings) – company owners lose, not taxpayers. The fewer functions performed by government the less problems, but police are one of the few proper functions of government. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Canadian government Policing function belongs an inefficient system Parliament has added another in government hands Re: Well-fed and clean in the City of Victoria (News, July 4) I commend you on reporting much more of the uniformcleaning picture than typical mass media people do. Indeed, police deal with much garbage, so should not risk their families by washing clothes at home. These days, bodily fluids are hazardous substances that should be dealt with carefully using special equipment. I support this expense. In other subjects, costs might include employee time. For example, occasionally people rail against post offices in the U.S. and Canada for providing motor vehicles to letter carriers in urban areas. But there are many factors, including the paid time that would have to be spent on a bus, the geographic layout of the route and the ability to have all the day’s mail in the vehicle, rather

30 MPs, costing an additional $1.44 million each or $43 million. This expenditure was passed lightning-fast by the Senate. We will now have 338 MPs, representing 35 million people or 104,000 constituents each. The Senate gave no sober second thought to this expenditure. The United States have 314 million people and 435 federal representatives, or 722,000 constituents each. They limit the proliferation of representatives to 435 and reapportion them based on population. They also have 100 Senators who represent 3.14 million people each. In comparison to Canada, U.S. politicians are effectively the better buy. Our current form of government lends itself to dictatorial power. It makes a mockery of the system, where great numbers of powerless

MPs are elected and politically toady Senators are appointed to sycophantically bless a prime minister’s agenda. The politicians are in a conflict of interest; they won’t limit their costly, inefficient use of the political system. We need more services and fewer politicians. It is time the people took back the power of governance. Harry Atkinson Sidney

Golf course restaurant has plenty of potential I dined before at the nowclosed restaurant at Cedar Hill Golf Course and it was a gem. It could easily become one of the most thriving restaurants and meeting places in Saanich. Under the direction of a professional restaurateur, not only could it thrive, but great catering opportunities exist for special events such as weddings, anniversaries and what have you. The location is idyllic and there’s plenty of free parking. The restaurant could partner with the golf course and offer packages. A breakfast and golf combination? People could have breakfast while they’re waiting to tee off. What about a buffet-style breakfast? Later in the day, offer a round of golf and a steak dinner. Steak and prawns? In the summer, set up a barbeque. The possibilities are unlimited. Saanich would get a new guaranteed revenue stream with little to no cost, people

would have a beautiful place to go and 25 or more jobs would be created. A restaurant and catering enterprise can’t pay any more than industry wages to thrive, thus ensuring its perpetuity. Yes, they would be lower-paying jobs, but it provides so many young people with valuable life and work skills to put on their resumes. Unfortunately, CUPE has control over it and demands CUPE wages and benefits. If you care about this facility, if you care about local jobs, send a letter to CUPE. Demand that they give up their succession rights so that the property can become a gem again. It’s the right thing to do. Otherwise it will probably end up as CUPE office space.

In Victoria, low-end housing is just too scarce to lose. Phil Ward, director of support services for Pacifica Housing, also feels the work

falls outside his jurisdiction and ability as a resource-strapped non-profit. If a housing unit is discovered to be illegal, Ward said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the client whether or not he or she wants to live there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s between a rock and a hard place,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford anything else, they may choose to live in a rooming house more crowded than the legal occupancy allows.â&#x20AC;? Ward turns the onus back on the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of trying to look at these problems in a holistic way.â&#x20AC;? He asked whether the laws fit the current needs, in terms of

the housing crunch. Instead of focusing on enforcement, he added, perhaps the city could be better served by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, this has a lot of potential. Maybe we should look at rezoning it and operating it in a safe fashion, working with the owner of the building, working with the housing agencies.â&#x20AC;? But Alto said the city has often tried to work with, rather than against, a noncompliant landlord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of instances where we have delayed taking an action or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve offered another alternative to try to make it a little bit easier to comply.â&#x20AC;? rholmen@vicnews.com

Recycle Your Small Electrical Appliances, Power Tools & More

Cory Olsen takes a few minutes at a playground near Blanshard Community Centre with sons, Edan, 6, top, and Chase, 12, following a day at Camp Blanshard. The subsidized summer camp is in need of sponsors and donations to continue to offer spaces to disadvantaged kids.

As of July 1st, you can recycle more than 300 different household electrical products such as small appliances, power tools, exercise equipment and sewing machines at one of over 120 ElectroRecycle drop-off locations across B.C. For a complete list of accepted products or to ﬁnd a drop-off location near you, visit electrorecycle.ca or call the Recycling Council of BC’s hotline at 1-800-667-4321 or 604-732-9253 in the Lower Mainland.

Summer camp seeks community support Daniel Palmer News staff

Summer camp has been a saviour to Cory Olsen. A father of two, Olsen and his partner both work full-time to make ends meet. So when school gets out for summer break each year, the couple is left scrambling to find child care for sons Chase, 12, and Edan, 6. The Olsens rely on their community centre to provide affordable child and youth programs. But as is the case with many young families in Victoria, the cost is sometimes a barrier. For the past three years, Chase has spent his summers at Camp Blanshard, a subsidized summer camp put on by the Blanshard Community Centre for families like the Olsens. “We’ve done the program for over a decade. It’s been really

important for those children and youth who wouldn’t normally get a camp opportunity,” said Kelly Greenwell, the community centre’s executive director. The centre relies on federal summer student grants to hire necessary staff and keep costs low, but this year it received only one of two expected grants. “What we’ve run into this year is we’re having to max it at 12 participants unless we can get some additional contributions from community members and other supportive businesses,” Greenwell said. Camp Blanshard has the capacity to bring in 20 children and youth between the ages of five to 12 each week. “It’s been very good for Chase and for us,” Olsen said. “He gets lots of good experiences, adventures. They get to go dragon boating, they get

to do out-trips to Elk Lake and Beaver Lake, they visit multiple water parks in the city.” The program costs $65 per child each week, and Greenwell said sponsors are being sought for less fortunate families. “They can either sponsor a day, a week or a three-week session for a child or youth. It means their families don’t have to go through the disappointment of not being able to send their kid to camp,” he said. Olsen said Chase has made lasting friends through Camp Blanshard, something he’s sure will happen for Edan as well. “I’ve seen the effect firsthand. I think it would be huge, I think there’s way more kids out there that need to be involved.” To donate or find out more about Camp Blanshard, visit www.blanshardcc.com. dpalmer@vicnews.com

THE ARTS Buskers invade Victoria Weather won’t dampen spirits at talent festival Edward Hill News staff

Sharon Mahoney admits that convincing some of the world’s top buskers to hit Victoria last year was a big risk, professionally and personally. Victoria, a known tourist town, wasn’t a significant draw for the international street performer circuit. But local artist John Vickers was aiming to reenergize the downtown with a high-calibre busker festival, and Mahoney was key. The Victoria-based performer has toured the world in her quirky red tracksuit as the passive-aggressive “Sharon from Canada” and her alter ego, the outright aggressive Miss Tallulah. Mahoney had the connections, but convincing performers to attend an untested festival required a leap of faith. “Some top street performers really took a risk; I begged friends of mine to take a risk,” said Mahoney, the artistic director for the Victoria International Busker Festival, now approaching its second year. “The presPhoto courtesy of the Victoria International Busker Festival sure was there.

Simon Whitfield will carry the flag for the Canadian Olympic team at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony. the closing ceremonies in Sydney. His hard work and perseverance are something of a legend on Canadian soil. Whitfield seemingly came out of nowhere in 2000 to win the first Olympic gold medal in triathlon. When he returned eight years later to win silver (nearly gold) in Beijing, he cemented his reputation as a loveable winner, smiling

all the way. The 37-year-old has won nearly everything on the table in the sport of triathlon: 14 World Cup victories and 21 podium finishes, seven top-10 finishes at the World Championships, 10 Canadian titles, gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 1999 Pan American Games. sports@vicnews.com

Reynolds golfer tops in B.C. Future Vike wins junior title Travis Paterson News staff

Golfer Matthew Broughton shot three-under par on Thursday, and two-under par on Friday to win the B.C. Junior Boys Championship.

Grizzlies’ NHL alumni come aboard

Saanich’s Matthew Broughton proved it’s more important to stay in the hunt then to go all-in from the start. Broughton shot two-under par on Friday, to win the four-day-long B.C. Junior Boys Championship at Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Roberts Creek. Not too shabby of a day for the 18-year-old Reynolds secondary grad, who is headed to the UVic Vikes golf team this fall. Though Broughton lifted the Gordon Bowers Trophy as champion, it wasn’t until the 18th hole that he knew he’d be able to stave off Kevin Ko (second) and Team Canada’s Kevin Kwon (fourth), who he was paired with. “It was my first time being around the lead on the final day,” Broughton said. “You don’t really think about who you’re playing with or what shot lead he has. “I did my best not to look at the (scores) being carried around (Friday). I knew the lead was changing back and forth,” Broughton said.

Last year Broughton was 15th at the same tournament, and the last time he won a tournament was a Zone 5 (Victoria and Duncan area) tourney in 2011. Friday started with leader Kwon, of Pitt Meadows, at six-under par, three strokes better than Broughton. But Kwon collapsed, shooting eight bogeys, which hurt dragged him back to fourth place overall. Broughton, meanwhile, was the model of consistency, one of three of the 154 entrants to shoot even-par, 72, on each of the first two days. Broughton turned it on with a three-under, 69, on Thursday and 70 on Friday, to win with a total score of 72-72-69-70, 283, five-under par. The top three finishers, Broughton, and 16-yearolds Ko (second) and Chris Crisologo (third), make up Team B.C., which will compete at the Canadian Junior Boys’ Championship in Bridgewater, N.S., July 31 to Aug. 3. Victoria’s Jake Duvall (sixth), Connor Gann (13th) and Darren Day (18th) also qualified for the Canadian championships. Naomi Ko was the top Victoria finisher in the junior girls championship held at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club. Ko was eighth overall, 11-over, just ahead of 11th place Hayley Kruse. sports@vicnews.com

Well played move, Bill Bestwick. The newly hired general manager and head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies is behind the B.C. Hockey League team’s new Alumni Advisory Board, consisting of former player Ryan O’Byrne of the 2001-02 Salsa and former coach Geoff Courtnall of the 2008-09 Grizz. Along with hiring Craig Didmon and acquiring a handful of players, the Alumni Advisory Board is the first significant big-picture move of Bestwick’s tenure. The board’s creation signifies a change in culture around the Grizzlies under new majority owner Ron Walchuk, who recently took over that role from Len Barrie. With the presence of O’Byrne and Courtnall, albeit intermittent and mostly for advisory purposes, the Grizzlies become a more attractive destination for talented hockey players wishing to play in the NCAA, Bestwick said in the team’s release. “It is wonderful to have people like Geoff and Ryan who want to give back to the sport that has given them so much,” added Bestwick. “The Grizzlies have helped so many local athletes move on to the NCAA and the WHL, and ultimately the NHL, and it will be great for the team and the community to have these players back involved in junior hockey here.” O’Byrne, a top-six defenceman with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, also played in the BCHL with the Nanaimo Clippers under Bestwick in 2003, before playing three years at Cornell University. Courtnall, a veteran of 17 years in the NHL, oversaw the development of his son Justin (Boston University Terriers) and many other Grizzlies currently in the NCAA who played on the 2008-09 team which hosted the RBC Cup. The board will advise the GM and ownership group with a focus on hockey operations and the development model for players to reach their educational and hockey career goals. sports@vicnews.com

Eagles on the fly First Nations soccer team at Indigenous Soccer Cup Travis Paterson News staff

Instant access to our complete paper! Editorial, Ads, Classiﬁeds, Photos

With flights paid for and hotel rooms booked, the Golden Eagles soccer club touched down in Albuquerque, N.M., on Monday for the 2012 Indigenous Soccer Cup. Enterprising coach Charlotte Charlie leads the co-ed team, which is made up of players 19-and-under from Alert Bay, Village Island, Saanich, Songhees and Cowichan First Nations. In recent months Charlie, of Victoria, has championed the team, and what it stands for, in a campaign to fundraise $17,500. That’s the total cost for the Golden Eagles to play in this week’s Indigenous Cup, July 16 to 22. The team came so close; players are left owing between $50 to $70 each for the remaining costs of the hotel and food. “The team worked hard at fundraising and promoting their goal. We hit walls left, right and centre along the way due to the fact that we are a new team,” Charlie said. As of last Thursday the team was just $3,250 shy of that goal, when a final fundraiser, a two-day silent auction with lunches and dinners

at the Tsawout band office, pulled in an additional $1,340. A bottle drive on Saturday raised another $614, bring them within $1,500 of the original target. “The hotels are 90 per cent paid for, and the food is mostly paid for. Now we can focus on playing,” Charlie said. Charlie uses the team to promote health and wellness among First Nations youth, while encouraging leadership and education. Charlie, a former a student facilitator at Esquimalt High, volunteers her own time to do group or individual tutoring to help the players work towards college and university. “I anticipate we’ll make it to the finals. We’re a pretty good team. Teams from B.C. always come away with high expectations, and have won gold there before.” Because it’s Charlie’s and the team’s first time to the Cup, she brought in a variety of voices to speak about what lies ahead. Some soccer experts spoke of the differing playing styles to expect from Central American teams, while others who have been there before, spoke of what to expect day in and day out. The Golden Eagles are continuing to fundraise and will continue playing when they return. To donate contact Charlie at 250-217-2416, or char_charlie@hotmail.com. sports@vicnews.com
