Carbon credits a major expense for Island’s health authority Taxpayer watchdog argues B.C.’s Pacific Carbon Trust actions amount to ‘corporate welfare’ Daniel Palmer News staff
The Vancouver Island Health Authority spent more than $880,000 last year to pay for carbon offsets, something the organization attributes to colder weather in 2011 and the expansion of its hospitals. The 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide produced by the authority is still six per cent lower than 2007 levels, when the province began requiring public bodies to purchase offsets through crown corporation Pacific Carbon Trust. VIHA hopes to reduce its carbon footprint by 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020. “Heat recovery from chilled water systems has huge potential and is being implemented at Victoria General and Nanaimo Regional General hospitals,” said spokesperson Shannon Marshall, adding that VIHA is also exploring neighbourhood energy systems with the City of Victoria and Capital Regional District. Pacific Carbon Trust buys carbon credits from energy-efficient companies in the private sector, and then sells them to school districts, health authorities and other government bodies to offset carbon output. Last year, the Trust sold $14 million in credits to public institutions. The system is meant to create an across-the-board neutral carbon footprint throughout the province.

A Black Beauty Line carriage rolls along Wharf Street, followed slowly by a B.C. Transit bus. The presence of the carriages downtown could be revisited, in the wake of an incident last week in which a carriage horse allegedly grazed by a tour bus got spooked, throwing two people out of the buggy and carrying a third on a wild ride.
Quaint tradition questioned Carriage company, city rethink presence of horse-drawn vehicles downtown Daniel Palmer News staff
After an out-of-control horse-drawn carriage charged through downtown Victoria last week, one city councillor is looking into the incident to determine whether further restrictions should be put on the industry. “I’ll be following up … to see whether
we need to (further) regulate what streets (the carriages) are on, or whether we should continue having them,” Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe said. “But until I know all the facts, I can’t make any concrete decisions on what the next steps are.” Dave Shishkoff advocates for the outright ban of horse-drawn carriages in Victoria through the organization Friends of Animals. He said council would only be following past policies by implementing a ban. “The city has banned rodeos and circus acts with animals,” he said, “so I don’t see why banning … a form of entertainment that exploits horses
couldn’t happen.” Kate Clark, manager of Tally Ho Carriage Tours, said her drivers will not be conducting half-hour tours of downtown until the Victoria police investigation is concluded. “After this incident, it appears there is not enough room for horse carriages and buses to be downtown,” she said. “We’re trying to re-examine our routes at this point in time.” Clark said commercial trucks on Government Street can also create problems for the horses.

Police probe suspicious death in Esq. Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Victoria police and major crimes detectives are investigating a suspicious death after a woman’s body was found in the parking lot behind the Archie Browning Sports Centre early Friday morning. “There was no obvious signs of trauma,” said VicPD spokesperson Mike Tucker, but police are treating the death as suspicious. “It wasn’t evident that this death occurred from natural causes.” The body was found around 3:30 a.m. in the lot behind the arena, towards Lyall Street. B.C. Coroner’s Service is assisting with the investigation. The woman’s identity was not immediately available and police were not speculating on the cause of death, Tucker said. “Right now we’re not providing that information.” At least one Lyall Street resident woke to the sound of sirens. “There were probably four to five cop cars,” the neighbour, who asked not to be identified, said. That grew to 10 cars by 7:30 a.m. “They (police) were really onto it hard.” The block surrounding the sports centre, and some adjacent businesses were were closed until about 10 a.m. Friday. “It’s really important for us to preserve the area and collect as much evidence as possible,” Tucker said. “We had a wide area closed off to collect evidence and we’re currently canvassing neighbours and the neighbourhood to see if anyone has information about what occurred.” While the death is suspicious, police say there appears to be no risk to the public. Police ask anyone with information about the suspicious death to call the VicPD at 250-995-7654, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). cvanreeuwyk@ oakbaynews.com

A new era for erotic lit? Fifty Shades phenomenon drives renewed interest in sexuality: therapist Natalie North News staff
Its title has seeped into Facebook statuses and tabloid headlines, comedians have staged dramatic readings, and at Chapters in downtown Victoria, the racy book and its two steamy followups are the store’s top three best-sellers. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James – the first in the series of sadomasochism erotica has been widely criticized for its poor quality of writing – has become one of the fastest-selling books of all time. One local sex therapist experienced an onslaught of women bent on getting in tune with their sexual side like never before. “It’s interesting to me, how the people who have never really been interested in sex are suddenly interested in erotica and

more of an erotic life for them and their husbands,” said Jayne Weatherbe, a Victoria-based marriage and family sex therapist in practice for the last 30 years. “What I’m also noticing in friends and family is that people who have never really been interested in sex in their marriages are suddenly getting really interested.” The 63-year-old therapist recently addressed those desires in three workshops aimed at women of all ages who would like to feel sexier. University of Victoria political science professor Janni Aragon specializes in pop culture and gender issues and sees some troubles in Fifty Shades. She completed her thesis on women in sadomasochism at San Diego State University and says the research reveals most women in such situations play the more dominant role, unlike the submissive role portrayed by the lead character in the book. She likens the work, which initially began as fan fiction linked to the Twilight series, as similar to any other fad women are told to

Three people face drug charges after a search warrant was executed on a home in the 300-block of Cook St. last Wednesday night. Victoria police entered the home at around 5 p.m. on Aug. 1 and seized drugs, including crack cocaine and heroin, and two canisters of bear spray. Officers also recovered a large quantity of stolen property, including televisions, laptops, smart phones and electronic tablets. “Given the home’s proximity to the Pandora corridor, you can appreciate that these individuals were quite active in the streetlevel drug trade,” Sgt. Lesley Watson said in a statement. Five women and a man were taken into custody. Three were released without charge, but a 32-year-old man, 26-year-old woman, and 25-year-old woman face a total 10 drug-related charges. Police hope to return stolen property to rightful owners. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

The woman, said to be in her 50s, was whisked down Store and Wharf streets and eventually jumped from the carriage near Fort Street. Police say no one sustained serious injuries. Eric Backhouse was biking northbound on Wharf Street when the horse galloped past. He took quick action, chasing the steed and coaxing it to a halt. “I just looked it
in the eye, held up my hand and said, ‘Woah, woah,’ ... and it stopped,” he said. Clark confirmed the horse, Sarge, had been clipped on its shoulder by a tour bus but that it was uninjured. VicPD Spokesman Mike Tucker said collision investigators will likely conclude the file and the matter will be dealt with through insurance companies. dpalmer@vicnews.com

“It’s basically corporate welfare,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “The bottom line for me is $14 million in tax money. If it was being handed out in any other kind of grant, people would be up in arms about it.” The carbon-trading program has led to B.C. becoming the third-largest carbon offset economy in North America. It is intended to fund green innovations and encourage reductions in energy consumption. The program has, however, failed to blossom into an international exchange and has not attracted private industry. Only $54,080, or 0.3 per cent, of
carbon offset purchases last year came from the private sector. “It’s a free-market failure,” Bateman said. “If it were any other business, we’d shut it down and move on.” The City of Victoria has pledged to be carbon-neutral by the start of 2013. It plans to implement a kitchen scraps program next February that would remove an estimated 1,200 tonnes of carbon from its footprint annually, a reduction of 30 per cent from current levels. But the city is also considering the purchase of offsets through Pacific Carbon Trust to meet their goal. Council will consider its options this fall before finalizing the Carbon Neutral Plan by the end of 2012. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Time to fight summer blues While the days of summer are marching past, there is still plenty of time and numerous special events to take advantage of around the Capital Region on those precious days off. While you’re at it, why not check out a new store or restaurant, or combine a trip with a sightseeing tour of sorts? While Victoria is still considered a tourist town first and foremost – government, education and high-tech sectors notwithstanding – the benefits don’t always accrue to those who prime themselves for the annual rush of visitors. The cruise-ship business, for example, focuses primarily on certain major players such as Butchart Gardens, the Fairmont Empress Hotel and tour bus companies. While the passengers are given free time to walk the streets of downtown, many merchants report the hard financial benefits aren’t as rosy as the tourism folks might have us believe. That’s where localized events such as the upcoming Victoria Dragon Boat Festival, and the fledgling Chalk Festival, spotlighting sidewalk artists, can make a difference to our small businesses. Those events allow residents from the Capital Region to gather and see what’s new or interesting in an area of town they may not have visited or explored before. With musical gatherings such as Folkwest, the Vancouver Island Blues Bash and Rifflandia coming up, theatre’s Victoria Fringe Fest, and the visual arts-based Esquimalt Arts Festival and Fibrations – not to mention the numerous regular offerings in those sectors – there are plenty of opportunities to support area merchants while taking in an event. Whether you’re from Langford, Oak Bay, Saanich or James Bay, these focused events allow chances to broaden your experiences and try out a new restaurant, step inside a retail store you haven’t visited before, or meet someone new and interesting who might be working at street level. You might be pleasantly surprised and wind up your summer on an even higher note. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever is too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is safer? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made the trip safely for nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for neardaily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

LETTERS A little more history on Douglas the fur trader Re: Wrong Douglas attributed to fir tree (Letters, July 27) This letter writer bets that naturalist David Douglas “spent far more time in the bush in these parts than did politician James Douglas.” Maybe, but it is difficult to say. David Douglas travelled west of the Rockies between 1824 and 1827 and again from 1830 to 1833. He died in Hawaii at the age of 35 in 1834. Fur trader James Douglas, described in an early employment record as a “Scotch West Indian” because of his Creole mother, not only lived much longer, he spent nearly his whole adult life in “these parts.” He was 16 when he joined the Northwest Company in 1819, and from 1826 to his death at the age of 74 in 1877 he lived west of the Rockies with his Cree wife and family at such HBC posts as Fort St. James, Fort Vancouver and Fort Victoria. He crossed the Rockies with fur brigades seven times. Nor does it seem accurate to describe James Douglas as a “politician.” Although he did serve a short term as an elected county court judge in Oregon, his position as chief HBC official on the coast was with a chartered company, and he was appointed, not elected, governor of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. An autocrat who was used to giving orders, he was, to say the least, skeptical about democracy and democratic politics. Hamar Foster Victoria
Many deserving people go undecorated in life I recently became aware of comments made by Esquimalt councillors Tim Morrison and David Hodgins about the erroneous omission of their names from the book Esquimalt Centennial 1912-2012. If that is the only disappointment you have in life, you will be very fortunate.
I have been a taxpayer in Esquimalt since 1948 and am not aware of any longstanding worthwhile contributions either man has made for the municipality. Maybe not enough time has passed or I’m not up to date. I do visit a former municipal councillor, who was in that position for 15 years. Speaking from a military background, there were many people who deserved the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, British Empire Medal or many other awards, but did not receive them because of an omission. I had the privilege of having a couple of beers with Smokey Smith, V.C., and he said there were others who were not recognized because of an omission. Chuck Moser Esquimalt
What they’re saying on vicnews.com: sustainable source of food. Allocate a portion of the meat to soup kitchens throughout the region and then sell the rest on the open market. What an opportunity, in a world where the demand for food is increasing and supplies are declining. Venison, in its different forms, is a very nutritional source of low-fat protein. It costs less than beef. Businesses and jobs would be created, which in turn, would generate more tax dollars. Local restaurants could offer fresh venison on their menus. I know it can be done. I met a gentleman in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. and that’s what he did. I think he called it fallow deer. Do you think if we could get a doe to co-operate, we could get milk? Bob Broughton Victoria
Farming, harvesting options Reader looking forward available for local deer to Victoria’s new bridge
Recently two people resigned from the Capital Regional District citizens advisory group that is trying to formulate a deer management plan. Their complaint seems to be, among other things, that nobody can give them an accurate deer population number. Unfortunately, the deer don’t participate in the census and as a taxpayer, I don’t really want to pay someone to go out and count them. The fact is, they’ve become so numerous to be problematic. Not only do they devour gardens and farms, they’ve become accustomed to people and a danger to people and pets. And without any natural predators, their numbers are growing yearly. You don’t need an expensive study to know that. Why not farm them just as we do cattle? What a natural food resource. Deer and other cloven-hooved mammals are farmed all over the world. Licensed farmers could safely and harmlessly capture the deer and transport them to their farms where they could live in their natural environment, breed, and provide a
So that is it? Is it? Our estimable mayor and his loyal councillors have settled on rebuilding the Strauss-designed bridge that is still operating after 100 years service. New materials, new technology and perhaps streamlined superstructure will leave Victorians with a prize that will serve even yet-unborn people their entire lives. What a wise decision. Bravo to our elected leaders. Dennis Parsons Victoria
Time to change language around homelessness Re: Reducing stigmas key to fighting homelessness (Opinion, July 11) I very much appreciate this opinion piece. A dose of reality.

Re: Horse-drawn carriage takes woman on rampant ride through downtown Victoria (Aug. 1) “This is awful, both for the people and the horse. Friends of Animals is campaigning to ban the carriages. It’s unfair to put the horses through this sort of life, constantly in dangers and walking on hard concrete – we can imagine a much better life for them. Let’s make that happen.” Dave Shishkoff Victoria
“I think Victoria needs to take a better look at the amount of giant tour buses that are on the streets. They are noisy, stinky, and overall very unpleasant for locals and tourists alike. The diesel fumes alone are enough to ruin a decent cup of coffee (on the) patio at (Bean Around the World).” Erik Arthur Blair Victoria
“I was on Store Street as the horse and carriage came galloping by. I saw him go through Pandora and then Johnson thinking that he was going to be hit at both intersections. I did not see the woman; I thought it was empty. Big shout-out to those drivers who were able to avoid hitting him.” Ken Koop Victoria

Vancouver Island Trails and Information Society president, Eric Burkle holds the new Hiking Trails book on the boardwalk at Swan Lake.
Hiking guidebooks still relevant 40 years after first publication Society to publish e-versions of guides for hikers this year Natalie North News staff
What began as a 32-page booklet typed on a manual typewriter and illustrated by hand has evolved into a series of books that have sold more than 100,000 copies and continue to fund environmental initiatives. In October 1972, the nonprofit Vancouver Island Trails Information Society sold their first hiking guide, Hiking Trails I: Victoria and Vicinity, for $1 per booklet. It was reprinted by Christmas, setting sales records at downtown Victoria’s Eatons. Over the last 40 years the non-profit society has sold more than 100,000 copies with proceeds supporting trail creation, maintenance, mapping and
other environmental initiatives through organizations such as the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary and The Vancouver Island Spine Association. The society also provides scholarships to four post-secondary institutions. To stay current for younger readers after 32 print editions, this year the society will become the first in Western Canada to publish e-versions of their hiking guides. While the Capital Regional District has a very good trail system, there is room for some small improvements locally, said Eric Burkle, president of the society, which was first founded by members of the Outdoor Club of Victoria. New trails are in the works near the
Sooke Potholes area. “The concern has been access to existing trails,” Burkle noted. “We’ve lost access, because the timber companies have become concerned with liabilities – specifically, within the Cowichan Valley.” The hiking guides cover the Greater Victoria area, south central Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands and northern Vancouver Island and are available in most local book and outdoor stores or online at hikingtrailsbooks.com. A display showcasing the incarnations of the guides will be at the Nellie McClung library in August, Emily Carr in September and the Esquimalt branch in October. nnorth@saanichnews.com
Peacekeeping casualties remembered Peacekeepers Memorial Day will be marked with a service at the B.C. Legislature grounds tomorrow night (Aug. 9). Following a 6:30 p.m. performance by the band of Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre, Rear Admiral Bill Truelove, the Commander of Maritime Forces Pacific, will join members of the Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association and other groups for the service, which starts at 7 p.m.
The event is held each year to honour Canadian Forces members who died in peacekeeping operations. Prior to the minute of silence, poppies with a ‘UN blue’ ribbon attached will be placed on a wreath on the cenotaph. Master Cpl. Byron Greff of Lacombe, Alta., the lone Canadian Forces member to die on duty since this date last year, will be remembered in the ceremony. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Mustard Seed Food Bank gets boost from local realtors Daniel Palmer News staff
Greater Victoria realtors recently presented a small bounty to the Mustard Seed Food Bank from their annual food drive. More than 2,000 pounds and
nearly $4,000 in cash was raised for the food bank by the realtors for the organization, which provides food for more than 7,000 people each month. But its storehouse is currently in need of a boost. “I don’t remember it (ever)
being quite this low,” said Rev. Chris Riddell, Mustard Seed executive director, noting the number of families who used the food bank in July was up 20 per cent over June. “With school being out for summer, there are no school or lunch programs, so people rely on us.”
The Mustard Seed relies on more than food donations to provide for the roughly 900 families in Greater Victoria that use the service. “Cash allows us to buy what we need when we need it,” Riddell said. The organization can purchase
food at a lower price in bulk, which allows those dollars to go further than if donors go and purchase groceries on their own. Donations can be made online at mustardseed.ca or by calling 250-953-1575. dpalmer@vicnews.com
Caddy Bay Festival happening all weekend Huge sand creations to line seashore
fun day one Sunday each August. This year the fun begins a day earlier when Cadboro Bay Road between Sinclair Road and Penrhyn Street shuts down and hosts artists, musicians and kids’ activities during the Saturday street party. Artists in paint, glass, silver and photography will be on hand – some at work on the spot, and others simply displaying their pieces – as musicians Paul O’Brien and Tom Hayward perform. Throw in a pirate face-
painter and that’s a hard offer to refuse. “We wanted to expand the weekend extravaganza,” said Cadboro Bay Business Improvement Association (BIA) president Brian Dunn. The Sunday festivities in Gyro Park have also been ramped up. World-champion sand sculpting teams will vie for the people’s choice award and Cadborosaurus trophy, as they create four seven-tonne sculptures with sand trucked in from Duncan.
Find these 2 characters in today’s paper. Cut and paste to ballot and drop off at any of Peninsula Co-op locations listed below.
The annual 25-tonne sand sculpture visitors have come to expect will also remain, as well as a full day of live music, bouncy castles, hand drumming workshops and something the locals have come to know as “pirate school.” “We’re not trying to copy what Parksville’s doing,” said Saanich special events programmer Rob Phillips, in reference to the Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition. “We’re trying to offer a different event to our local artists.” Free activities run from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. both days.

Poems hint at writers’ personal stories Shelters, rehab centres release commemorative poetry book Daniel Palmer News staff
As celebrations wind down from Victoria’s 150th anniversary, a new poetry collection is giving a voice to some lesserknown stories of the city. Victoria on the Banks of the Mainstream is a collection of poetry written by marginalized residents during weekly ses-
sions at the Victoria Cool Aid Society’s Rock Bay Landing and Sandy Merriman House shelters, Peers Victoria Resource Society, Beacon of Hope House and the Addictions and Rehabilitation Centre at the Salvation Army. “Some of the poems speak to the loneliness of how it feels that the world doesn’t really want to see or hear you or acknowledge that you have needs,” said Don McTavish, Cool Aid’s manager of shelters. “I think one thing that they have in common is that they have felt passed by.” Some of the budding poets read their work aloud during the launch of the book, July 31 at
Rock Bay Landing. The soft-cover poetry collection, edited by Dvora Levin, was funded by a grant from the Greater Victoria Spirit Committee Society. Though the book has been released, Cool Aid will continue to offer writing programs for its residents, something McTavish is convinced brings positive results. “To be able to still express hope and desire (through poetry) speaks to the human spirit,” he said. The book is available at Munro’s Books for $20, with all proceeds going to the participating shelters. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Victoria’s folk festival adds international flavour FolkWest gives second year a go Natalie North News staff
The gates closed on Saturday during last year’s first annual FolkWest Festival, capping off a successful day in Royal Athletic Park for organizers – but they couldn’t have predicted just how electric the night show that followed would be. FolkWest artistic director Oliver Swain found himself swept up into the moment when Irish band Martin Nolan, Pierre Schryer and Adam Dobres packed Logan’s Pub and brought the house down with a dance set. “That dance floor was just pumping so hard and that was as thrilling to me as anything that happened on the main stage,” said Swain, who will take his banjo, bass and vocal stylings to Logan’s with Emily Braden during the first night of the festival, Aug. 10. “Those little moments just came out of nowhere.” Swain will continue his long history of performance with Braden the following day when he joins the powerhouse vocalist on the main stage. FolkWest forges ahead into its second year with 23 performance troupes and almost 40 hours of programming – including a mix of international and local performers at Royal Athletic Park and three bands nightly at Logan’s once RAP’s gates close. Emily Braden and the Deepdowns, the Breakmen and Caravan headline the pub Friday through Sunday. “There’s a lot of great local talent and many of them are in demand all over the world,” Swain said. “The concept of the festival is that we have all this great local talent that we

The Milk Carton Kids, Joey Ryan, left, and Kenneth Pattengale are one of the headliners of this year's FolkWest festival, Aug. 11 and 12. want to mix in and celebrate.” In an effort to bring a platform for traditional and contemporary folk music back to Victoria following the loss of Rootsfest and FolkFest events in 2002 and 2006, respectively, Swain, along with friends Bryan Skinner, Joelle May,
Kelly Sherwin and Adam Bailey, began fundraising in 2009. The Lower Island FolkFest Society gained official status in May, 2010. Last August’s event had a stronger focus on local musicians – a decision based partially on a desire to promote local performers and somewhat on the budgetary confines of launching a festival. FolkWest 2012 builds on last year’s success – the event drew 4,500 visitors over the weekend, supported by a crew of 300 volunteers – and includes more international headliners alongside Victoria acts, such as The Archers and West My Friend. L.A.’s The Milk Carton Kids and Joy Kills Sorrow of Boston are on the lineup, along with the gypsy jazz of Caravan (Marc Atkinson, Chris Frye, Joey Smith and Daniel Lapp), the West African amasumbou music of Aboubacar Camara and Doundounba and Adonis Puentes Band. “What we really try to do is get together, celebrate and enjoy great, great music in this beautiful city and everything that we have to offer. Bring your family, bring your friends and come celebrate.” The celebration includes local artisans, food vendors curated by the Island Chef Collaborative and plenty to keep the kids entertained with Merlin’s Sun Puppetry, Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary, Sunshine Clowns and the award-winning children’s artists The Kerplunks on the bill. “We’ve figured out just about every way to have fun on a field, all the different ways you can have fun with grass between your toes.” More information can be found on the FolkWest website at FolkWest.ca. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Back in time with Raven Baroque
T
he baroque era in music – 1650 to 1750 – has produced some of the bestloved classical music. On Sunday, Aug. 11 at 7:30 p.m., Raven Baroque’s group of 10 musicians in period costume will play a variety of some of the best of that period at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, 1701 Elgin St. in Oak Bay. Soloists include Rainer Roth on recorder and Hollas Longton on violin in Bach’s popular Brandenburg Concerto #5 with Shane
Beech playing the notoriously complex keyboard line. Later Roth will play an oboe solo with Julia Hostetler in Bach’s Double concerto for oboe and violin. Longton is the solo violinist in his arrangement of Frescobaldi’s Mass of the Apostles. Hollas Longton, a former UVic student, received his masters in composition from the Royal Academy in the Hague. Works by Albinoni, Handel, Tartini, and concerto grossi by Vivaldi and Corelli, each with
three soloists, feature Larry Skaggs and Laine Longton sharing cello solos while Lauren Klein and Hollas Longton share the violin solos. Raven Baroque combines the fireworks of youth and experience which results in a concert experience that’s satisfying and exciting to both audience and musicians. Tickets are $15 at the door and at Ivy’s Books, 2188 Oak Bay Ave. llavin@vicnews.com

But if Kate Phoenix, owner-general manager of The Beach House restaurant, has her way, the area will be a big part of the success of her latest venture. “This was sold by Alison Piano to McMorran’s back in 1920,” she says. “When we called them Don Descoteau to come and Biz Beat refurbish it, they said ‘hey, we sold that piano originally.’” The McMorran name may no longer be on the business – the longtime family run operation shut down in 2010 – but the hope is that the musical atmosphere it cultivated over the years will continue at the new Beach House. “It’s a musical place … (and) music is a big part of a lot of people’s lives at the restaurant,” Phoenix says.

Victoria hosts ultimate nationals 72 teams, 1,500 athletes to vie for championship
IN BRIEF
The B.C. bantam female lacrosse squad has won a national championship for the first time in provincial history. Team B.C. beat Ontario two games to one at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday (Aug. 3). The girls held on to a 4-3 lead in game three to take the gold medal. Mainland girls Keeley O’Neill, Megan Kinna and Katie Browning scored the first three for B.C., but Juan de Fuca’s Elle Hamilton found the net for goal No. 4 to secure the win.

Pat Harris, 48, played Canada's first national ultimate championship in 1987. Here he's getting in practice time at the fields of Lansdowne middle school last Thursday in preparation for this year's national championship in the master's division. jokes. “As in we are a group that can either hang out at the pub, or choose to play ultimate.” The other, the Skysharks, is a mixed team in its second season, and with one national championship tournament under its belt. Clayton Howlett, 27, of Saanich, helped launch the Skysharks after playing competitive ultimate in Vancouver for three years. “This is a young team, about a year old. Last year we went to the nationals in Ottawa seeded 10th and we came out of it 10th,” says Howlett, one of four team captains on the Skysharks. “I had no idea we’d make it to nationals. We expected to get trashed an use it as a learning
exercise, but we held our place and showed we could contend.” This year the Skysharks came in second in the province behind Vancouver-based 7 Deadly Spins, the former Canadian and world champions. “We hope to contend with them, we want to contest the world champs,” Howlett says. The tournament is spread through fields at Lansdowne school, St. Michaels University School, Topaz Park and Royal Athletic Park for the finals. “Victoria has great facilities in terms of fields,” says Danny Saunders, executive director for Ultimate Canada. “And it’s an ideal location in the summer for Canadian players,”
Tournament director Kevin Bruleigh said organizing a national event for 72 teams with 1,500 players and their families and coaches will help raise the profile of ultimate in Victoria. “The instant perception of the sport is people think of the beach and dogs and hippies hanging out. It’s not like that. These are athletes training for competition. It is a huge commitment,” Bruleigh says. “The best of the best in Canada, coming to compete in the capital city.” The Canadian ultimate championships run Aug. 16 to 19 on fields in Victoria and Saanich.

SPORTS NEWS Bantam girls take gold in nationals
Edward Hill Pat Harris remembers his first national ultimate championship back in 1987 in Ottawa, when the game was young and relatively unknown. The championship had a few teams in one division, and Harris helped pave the way for a sport breaking out of its stigma as a glorified game of Frisbee. Harris, 48, played for the Calgary Cynics and went on to the world championships more than a few times. “We’ve travelled the world – Belgium, Hawaii, Madison, Wisc. It’s a worldwide sport,” Harris says. “To represent your country if you win nationals, go to the worlds, it’s a special thing.” Ultimate is a disc-based field sport with elements of football, soccer and basketball. Players throw the disc to advance up the field toward the endzone, but a player with the disc can’t run – they can pivot and pass, like a basketball player. For the first time in 15 years, Victoria will host the Canadian national ultimate championships, which expects to draw 1,500 athletes from top teams from Newfoundland to B.C. Since that first championship, the egalitarian sport that prides itself on fair play, no referees and co-ed squads has found a following of fiercely loyal players. “(Ultimate) is co-ed, competitive and self-officiated. There’s no cheating. It doesn’t go on,” Harris says. “I like the community nature of it. You play hard and after go out and enjoy each other’s company. Nobody pays you to play. You have to love this game.” Harris’s master’s team, Republic is one of two Victoria-based squads in the nationals. “The key word in Republic is ‘pub,’” he

The Saanich Tigers came home from the 2012 bantam B lacrosse provincials, held in Burnaby July 27 to 29, with the bronze medal after beating the Surrey Rebels 9-5 in their final game. Saanich was one of eight bantam B teams that won their way into the provincials beating out the nearly 50 bantam B teams across the province. After dropping an 11-10 overtime heartbreaker to the North Delta Hawks in their opening game the Tigers rattled off an 8-5 win against the Comox Wild and an 11-3 win over the Surrey Rebels before dropping a 10-5 decision to eventual champions the Chilliwack Mustangs in the semi-finals. This put them into a rematch with the Surrey Rebels for the Bronze, where they once again came away with the win. Jackson Boyd from the Saanich Tigers was named the overall provincial tournament MVP, in the Bantam B division.

Government funds home for homeless veterans

Congratulations on winning an iPod Touch!
A facility that helps troubled Canadian veterans got a welcome funding boost from the federal government last week. In a ceremony at the Royal Canadian Legion on Gorge Road East in Victoria, federal Minister of State for Seniors Alice Wong announced $258,000 for Cockrell House in Colwood. The five townhouse units can house 11 people. Since it opened with little fanfare in 2009, the facility has helped more than two dozen veterans get back on their feet. Many had found themselves homeless after struggling with depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder, linked to their experience in war
zones or places devastated by natural disasters. Cockrell House has earned acclaim from government for its success rate, but until the announcement there was little official support in the way of funding. The money is part of a pilot project that has $1.9 million going to four centres across Canada. The goal is to help veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. In a statement, Cockrell House director Angus Stanfield said the facility is happy to be working with the other centres. “Cockrell House is proud to be a part of this important project. We support 11 of our local veterans in overcoming many challenges. Offering a home and supports with other veterans is the foundation for new beginnings.� editor@vicnews.com
