Searching for shelter Extreme Weather Protocol helps homeless get off the streets Brittany Lee News staff
When extreme weather hits the Capital Region, Jen Book springs into action. As regional co-ordinator for the Greater Victoria Extreme Weather Protocol, she oversees efforts to help Victoria’s homeless population access additional shelters, on winter nights they would otherwise spend battling cold and wet conditions outdoors. “Any snowflake in the forecast and we’re activated,” Book says. The protocol is triggered before and during weather events including sub-zero temperatures, extreme wind or rain, and snowfall. While November and December tend to be the coldest months on average in the region, the number of times the strategy is activated fluctuates. EWP figures show a high of 82 one winter and a low of 25 in another. This season has been

The sign tells the street population that shelter is available during extreme weather. relatively mild so far, with just eight activations between Dec. 3 and Jan. 3. That’s not unusual, says Book, recalling last year’s activations

Mayor Dean Fortin and city staff are trumpeting a fixed-price contract to replace the Johnson Street Bridge, unveiling efficiencies they say will keep the project within its $92.8-million budget.

That’s near the five-per-cent contingency normally allocated for a major infrastructure project, city engineering director Dwayne Kalynchuk said Monday. The city is still on the hook for any unanticipated geotechnical changes, such as the discovery of archeological remains or the necessity to bore deeper into the harbour bed for adequate anchoring, he said.

lad in cap and gown, seated in the Farquhar Auditorium, a new class of university grads listened to five distinguished alumni – a photographer, a CEO, an athlete, a grand chief and an author – reflect on their experiences at the University of Victoria. UVic president David Turpin heard a distinct theme emerge during that November convocation ceremony. “Each one of their successes was a result of two things: how to work with people and how to look at things in different ways,” said Turpin, whose words could apply to his tenure at the university, which Natalie North ends in July. But Turpin, Reporting the biologist who moved from his post as the academic vice principal??? at Queen’s University to the sixth president and vice-chancellor of UVic in 2000, is reluctant to philosophize on his personal accomplishments at the university. Instead he looks at the goals and challenges his successor, Jamie Cassels, will inherit. UVic, a fixture of Maclean’s magazine’s top universities list, upheld it’s academic reputation in 2012, but hit a low among some faculty and staff when names, banking information and social insurance numbers of 11,841 employees on UVic’s payroll were stolen last January. “Clearly it was a very unfortunate incident,” Turpin said. “It caused a real disruption to our employees. What we’ve learned is something that other institutions are emulating. Unfortunately, we were the ones to which this breach happened, but we’re trying to take the lessons that we’ve learned and allow others to benefit from them.” When the breach faded from the headlines, the institution was left with a new set of security protocols to meet, along with outreach, infrastructure and funding goals for the future. Meeting those needs amidst a climate of cutbacks will be the biggest challenge, he added. Goal No. 1: Outreach Attracting new students, underrepresented students and local students continues to be a top priority. Progress has been made, but there’s still much further to go. “If you look back 10 to 12 years, we had about 80 indigenous students and now we have over 800. That’s really a hallmark of the University of Victoria: reaching out to underrepresented groups, encouraging them to attend and supporting them to succeed.” No. 2: Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities UVic’s new $59-million home of the UVic Vikes and sports and recreation programs, is also the headquarters for CanAssist, a university organization that develops customized technologies and programs for people living with disabilities. After a year of tumult, Saanich council okayed the design for the centre, including the now-notorious CARSA parkade plan – a detail that Turpin is able to laugh about despite the stalled planning process that finally drew to a close last September.

Luxury condos tops among area homes Bayview tower penthouse value set at more than $4 million

The latest B.C. Assessment valuations reveal a minor market correction in the Capital Region, but property values in Victoria remain stubborn. The average home assessment in the city is $542,000, down 0.9 per cent from the 2011 average. The drop represents the first time in a decade that property values have contracted, said Reuben Danakody, B.C. Assessment lead for the Greater Victoria region. “During 2011, we started to see some stabilizing of pricing. This year, in 2012, we start to see the market taking a bit of a breather,” he said. The property with the highest potential price tag crowns Bayview Residences at 100 Sagalie Rd. in Vic West. Assessed at $4.092 million, the penthouse suite’s value dwarfs that of most single-family residential dwellings in Victoria. Esquimalt’s most expensive property value is also a penthouse condo, situated in the Swallows Landing development on Dunsmuir Road, worth about $2.6 million. The fact that condos trump single-family homes makes sense when looking at the market share, said Leslee Farrell, a real estate agent who deals primarily with luxury homes. “It isn’t illogical when you think of the fact that the land that the developer has to purchase is limited for rezoning,” Farrell said. Because official community

A penthouse suite in Bayview One, in the Songhees neighbourhood on Saghalie Road in Vic West, has been assessed as the most expensive residence in Victoria.
Enrollment
The average valuation in Esquimalt, meanwhile, dropped to $512,000, down 1.5 per cent from $520,000 in 2011. Reasons for the Swallow’s Landing suite’s assessment include its commanding waterfront views and the quality of the building, said Farrell, who has sold the property in the past. “I think the stigma about Esquimalt is going away, because at the end of the day, (in determining) value in real estate, south exposure is considered one of the highest points of valuation,” she said. Of the two penthouse owners, one hails from eastern Canada, while the other is a foreign buyer from the U.S., Farrell said. The lowest assessed residential dwelling in Esquimalt is an old cabin on a sliver of township land at Work Point, ringing in at $11,000, according to Danakody. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Esquimalt assessments follow regional trend
plans tend to restrict the placement of high-density housing, luxury condos are more rare than luxury single family homes, she said. Owners and buyers are in a holding pattern, waiting for a market correction that has yet to play itself out after nearly five years, Farrell added. Thos sellers who are at the top end of the real estate market have been “shocked” by the lack of sales activity recently, she said. “The sale prices that were achieved in 2006 to 2008 just cannot be achieved today,” Farrell said. “If you purchased then and you want to sell now, you will have to allow for some drop. Most of these people are just holding.” Victoria’s most affordable property value is on Princess Avenue, a single-family home valued at $142,000, said Gerry Marolla, deputy assessor with B.C.

OUR VIEW
Public input includes people The key to public hearings is obviously public input. With the Enbridge hearings in Victoria shutting out residents interested in attending the proceedings and Victoria MLA Murray Rankin being refused entry, the government is not leaving us with the impression that public interest is welcome. The process of registering to speak is tried and true. However, relegating the great unwashed to a hotel kilometres away from where the hearings are taking place, allowing the public only to view the proceedings in a video feed from fixed cameras is not open, transparent information gathering. We all want the sessions to run smoothly without interruptions from noisy protesters. Ugly disruptions create an oppressive atmosphere, rather than one of courtesy and respect, which enables everyone to voice their opinion without feeling threatened. However, posting uniformed police outside the hearing room and forcing the public to view the hearings from a distance of more than two kilometres only alienates the people who it is trying to engage. Talks held across the country have been uneventful. The most threatening event so far has been a large community gathering which formed a welcoming committee of sorts for the panel at the Bella Bella hearings. That situation delayed the process by one day. The Enbridge pipeline proposal is controversial. For some, registering their name in advance, standing in front of a panel of strangers, explaining their concerns or expressing their approval is comfortable and acceptable. For others, voicing their concerns in an old-fashioned, free-spirited way with placards and songs is the way they want to express themselves. And for some of us, being able to see and hear the presentations for ourselves is how we become involved. Separating the people from the process is not the way to earn trust and make sure the public interest is served. What do you think?

He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better.

LETTERS Tolerance, not acceptance, leads to communication, change Re: I don’t want to be tolerated (Column, Jan. 4) I see that Charla Huber’s piece was “written in ink.” I hope she doesn’t really believe that status quo should be carved in stone. Her definition of tolerance is way off-mark and the suggestion we should simply accept things with which we do not agree is crass. The claim that “tolerating is still enabling people to hate,” ignores completely that it is tolerance, rather than acceptance, which enables communication and change. Furthermore, she is wrong to suggest that acceptance is everything “if we want to make this world a better place.” History tells the lie to that. For example, did transported slaves in America, the French proletariat or the downtrodden British working class give up hope of freedom or justice and simply accept the overwhelming “done deals” that ruled their lives?
If they had, where would democracy be now in those countries? Rather, it was their tolerance, until the time was right, that made change possible for them. The same is true of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, where although people have had to tolerate evil rule, they have never accepted it just because the odds were stacked against them. Some of Ms. Huber’s examples are too frivolous for comment (where boxes of crayons, busheating deer and Scotch broom come into all this is totally beyond me), but she should be reminded that in the classroom, tolerance and acceptance of every individual student’s needs, whether easy or difficult, are dealt with every day as an integral part of good teaching practice. Sorry Ms. Huber, although I can tolerate your right to the opinion, I cannot accept that “tolerance” is the poor cousin of “acceptance.”
Their relationship has always been, and will forever remain, much closer and interdependent than that. Derrick Johns Oak Bay
Fighting for beliefs needs to be relabelled Re: I don’t want to be tolerated (Column, Jan. 4) Thank you to Charla Huber for her article. I agree that acceptance is a much healthier way of being and I believe it can lead to a more wholesome community. I would suggest that we stop “fighting” for what we believe in. How about simply challenging something or working for what we want? Why not encourage competition to exchange the language – and thus the behaviour – of fighting for or against something in this grand new year? Joanna Wilkinson Victoria

U.S. interests not alone in opposing projects
Alternatives make sense for treatment money
Re: Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013? (B.C. Views, Jan. 2) Columnist Tom Fletcher suggested that only powerful Americans are concerned about Canadian energy projects. Well Tom, I am Canadian and I care. The fact that I agree with American environmentalists is about as material as your agreement with large corporate interests, which possess significantly more capital than the $60 million “war chest” you reference. Chevron, for example, which owns a substantial interest in the liquid natural gas operation in Kitimat, is an American company that had a net income of more than $26 billion in 2011. I think your perspective is fracked, Mr. Fletcher. Concern exists among Canadians and the power dynamics are weighed heavily in the favour of industry. Matthew Greeno Victoria
Re: Alternate project list for CRD funding (Letters, Jan. 4) At last, a very sensible letter written on this subject. I felt uplifted by Craig Carmichael’s letter. All the things he mentioned are far more necessary now, and our sewage treatment method has been working well, so if a thing’s working, don’t fix it. Gillian Smith Saanich

The union representing some 650 B.C. Transit employees
plans to shut down Greater Victoria’s public transportation network Jan. 22 unless the company returns to the bargaining table. Ben Williams, president of Canadian Auto Workers local 333, said it’s the only way management will get the message. “We’re hopeful
that we can get a negotiated settlement without withdrawal,� he said. The threat of a full shutdown is the latest tactic in the union’s ongoing job action. A ban on overtime continues to see some bus service cancelled daily, and drivers are stil wearing street
clothes on the job. The union’s main sticking point in the dispute is a plan to replace existing community shuttle buses with slightly larger Vicinity models. Shuttle drivers require less training and are paid $5.71 less an hour. B.C. Transit did not return the News’
calls for comment by deadline. But in recent interviews, spokesperson Meribeth Burton said the main stumbling block is wage increases and benefits that are not in line with the B.C. government’s net zero mandate. kslavin@saanich news.com

Christmas presents were not enough. Daniel Davenport, 13, and his 11-year-old sister Amy were looking for a way to provide more than just gifts to the less fortunate, so instead of presents they sent one of the necessities of life. “Water. ‌ It is what we have needed since the Stone Age,â€? Daniel said. “You cannot go wrong in the catalogue of helping people, but we had to pick something that is accomplishable, helpful and lasting.â€? Searching for an organization that could facilitate their longterm goal led them to Plan Canada, a non-profit organization with a mandate to improve the lives of children in developing countries. One of its programs was a perfect fit, providing infrastructure in Africa for safe drinking water and sanitation. “My sister and myself wanted to make a difference and help those less fortunate,â€? Daniel said. “Not only does it give them water, it frees (them) up from trekking all day, every day to get water.â€? With the help of their mother Lesley, who moonlights as a nature and landscape photographer, they came up with a plan to raise the $1,000 needed. Taking what they called the “Girl Guide approach,â€? the two students combined their $20 monthly allowance with funds from babysitting work to buy

By combining the two to make photo greeting cards, they developed a product with the money many others their age would have spent on themselves. “We tried to teach them they are very privileged and that they should be conscious of the great life they lead,� said Lesley. “For a couple of years now they have wanted to support charitable causes but we don’t just write them a cheque. They have to come up with a way to raise the money.� The two students spent their evenings gluing photographs to card stock, bundling them with envelopes, and sorting them to sell at craft fairs, to family members, friends and teachers for $1 each. A thousand cards later, the pair reached their goal and contacted Plan Canada to let them

That got me thinking that I can do something,� Amy said. “Some people out there need the money. I have a great life; I don’t really need the money.� Despite reaching success, they have decided to continue to create more cards to sell to raise funds for AIDS orphans in Africa. “I probably will never see what we have done – but I (wanted to) know we had done a really good thing,� Daniel said. “There is always going to be another person we can help and I am definitely interested in helping more people.� To purchase the photo cards email al__baby@hotmail.com (note: two underscores). alim@vicnews.com

Hellbound? Christian filmmaker challenges concept of hell Natalie North News staff
Christianity and death metal are no match made in heaven. When Christian metalheads grow up subscribing to a religion built on the concept of hell as punishment and delighting in a musical culture where hell is revered as freedom from religion, more than a few questions are bound to arise. Filmmaker Kevin Miller brought the debate over hell’s existence and his own beliefs on the doctrine, as both a devout Christian and a certified metalhead to the screen in Hellbound? “I’ve struggled my whole life to reconcile the idea of a God who loves us with the notion of eternity in hell,” said the Abbotsford-based filmmaker and contributor to The Huffington Post. “Punishment should be designed to teach and to restore and the way hell is popularly conceived is that it’s basically pure retribution. I really struggle with that and I think a lot of other people do.” Theologians, academics, authors and the lead singer of costumed metal band Gwar weighed in on what Miller calls a nuanced look at Christianity, different from the fundamentalist opinions often given the most attention in mainstream media. Barring Christianity Today’s rather scath-

A lot of Christians tend to mistake their inter-
pretation of the Bible for the Bible itself, so if you question their interpretation, it’s the same thing as questioning God and that becomes highly offensive to them.” Miller, whose writing credits include the documentaries Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed with Ben Stein; Sex+Money, spOILed and With God On Our Side, shot the film in 12 cities across the United States, Canada

and Denmark, including at the Copenhell heavy metal convention in Copenhagen in 2011. The interviews he collected during his directorial debut led him to challenge his own beliefs. “This isn’t just an abstract theological discussion because what we believe about hell is a reflection of what we believe God to be. And we all tend to become like the God we believe in,” he said. “If the God we believe in is ultimately violent, it’s not going to be surprising when we become an ultimately violent people. If you believe that’s what God’s going to do in the end: separate the good people from the bad people, well, we’re going to start doing that on earth. There are definitely real-world ramifications.” Hellbound? screens at Cineplex Odeon Victoria Cinemas, 780 Yates St. at 7 p.m. on Jan. 10.

Working on this film really taught me that we have to have an open stance. We have to be ready to engage with information that may change our beliefs.

It’s an age-old tale, told time and time again. Four historical interpreters in a northern gold rush town form a comedy troupe and reunite eight years later at Victoria’s Intrepid Theatre Club. Christina Patterson and David Radford of Launch Pad Productions were two of those performers working the streets of Barkerville along with Chris Cooley and Stewart Cawood when the seeds of their latest project Watch for Bones were first planted. “We spent the days basically interpreting history for tourists and we needed to blow off steam in other creative outlets,� said Patterson, a regular performer on Sin City, and woman behind Tara Firm and the Lunar War Chronicles, which she produced through Launch Pad with husband, Radford. The group produced a cabaret in the historic Cariboo town in 2005 and have since stayed in touch, despite a cross-country move to Toronto and back to Victoria via Vancouver for Patterson and Radford.

Aquarium aims to broaden its attraction Shaw centre outlines plan for future Steven Heywood News staff
With more than half of its annual visitors coming from the Island and waning attendance overall, the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre in Sidney is looking to the sea for inspiration. Angus Matthews, the centre’s executive director, told Sidney council that the aquarium is looking to the future, and without change in the community, it’s not looking all that bright. “We’re locked into a bit of a pattern and we need to break into the broader tourism market,” he said. Over the last three years, Matthews said, the centre has attracted more than 360,000 people. But 2012 saw a continued trend toward declining numbers, even during peak tourist season. “It’s a big concern

Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre patrons view colourful sea life in an aquarium tank. and not necessarily sustainable,” he said. It’s one reason why the centre is supporting a plan to implement a business improvement area (BIA) in Sidney that would market the town to both shoppers and tourists.
“Without a doubt, we would be one of the main beneficiaries of that,” Matthews said. The centre has cut its marketing budget substantially this year and plans to raise admission rates as it tries to get on an even financial footing.
In the meantime, it is developing a plan that aims to make Sidney a hub for ocean exploration at scientific and family levels. “We can’t grow our existing facility,” Matthews said, “so we’ll grow outside.” A concept called the Salish Sea Institute is being developed by the centre’s board and staff, with plans to roll out new programs and facilities over the next 18 months. Using the Salish Sea Marine Conservation Area and working with local First Nations, Parks Canada and other stakeholders, the idea is to offer high-end eco-adventure tourism, citizen science opportunities, national and international research outstations and family outings to unique waters and beaches near Sidney. “If Tofino can sell
100% locally owned
storms, we should be able to sell beaches during the day and really good hotels at night,” Matthews said. It’s estimated the cost of starting the institute is $180,000. It would be run as a nonprofit group and be linked to the centre. So far, $60,000 has been raised for the project, Matthews said. It will cost an estimated $1.5 million more to build outstations, a First Nations big house and other infrastructure. It’s a step to help draw more visitors to the area and help keep the community thriving, Matthews said. “We need to think big, like we did when we first built the Ocean Discovery Centre.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

“That’s something we’ll know fairly early, because digging will begin (in April),” Kalynchuk said, adding staff have already surveyed the area for such concerns. “But until you start digging out there, you really don’t know.” Efficiency changes include a switch from steel to concrete for both the east and west approaches, as well as a hydraulic mechanical system to control the bridge wheel. The reduced size of the hydraulic engineering room means crews won’t need to excavate the harbour bed below. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, with the plan for the new bridge to open by fall 2015. The existing bridge will remain open until that time. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Vision Matters
Eye Exams At Great Rates
CALL FOR APPOINTMENT
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered. Dr. Helen Martindale
Glaucoma... “the sneak–thief of sight” Glaucoma is a disease that is characterized by higher than average pressures within the eye. Those higher pressures can cause optic nerve damage, which in turn may lead to vision loss. Most types of glaucoma do not have any dramatic or painful symptoms, but develop slowly and subtly over a period of time. Since peripheral vision is generally affected first, most patients never suspect they even have a problem. For that reason glaucoma is called “the sneak-thief of sight.” Although the most common type of glaucoma cannot be cured, if detected and controlled early, vision can be preserved. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance as the damage to sight can not be reversed, but its progress can be halted. Who is at risk for developing glaucoma? Risk factors include: • Family history of glaucoma • Being over the age of forty • Elevated intraocular pressure • Diabetes • High myopia (nearsighted) • Being of African descent • Smoking (another good reason to quit) Your optometrist will routinely check your eye pressure, examine the optic nerve at the point where it enters the eye and assess other risk factors. The optic nerve changes in appearance as glaucoma damages the nerve fibers. Visual field testing can be arranged by your optometrist to check the sensitivity of both your central and peripheral vision. If your optometrist suspects that you have glaucoma, you will be referred to an opthalmologist. If the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment will be initiated. Medication to decrease fluid production or increase drainage is often used to reduce intra-ocular pressure. Compliance to the medication schedule is essential for the preservation of vision. The best way to prevent damage from glaucoma is never to let it progress. You should have your eyes examined regularly to avoid this preventable loss of vision.

Grizz grab former Royal Kade Pilton joins Grizz Travis Paterson News staff
Four and a half months later, defenceman Kade Pilton is back on the Island. The 6-foot-5, 18-year-old from Parksville made his B.C. Hockey League debut with the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday, picking up an assist in the Grizz’ 5-1 drubbing of the Nanaimo Clippers. On Sunday, Pilton opened the scoring against the Powell River Kings with a shorthanded breakaway goal on a 5-3 penaly kill in the first period, sparking a 4-2 Grizz win. It’s been a long journey in a short time since he was traded to the Regina Pats from the Victoria Royals in the Western League preseason on Sept. 13. “After about a month in Regina I was moved up to forward in an energy role, and that worked for a bit. But eventually I decided to move on. I just wasn’t getting the minutes I had hoped,” Pilton said on Sunday. His December return to the Island went relatively unnoticed, until Pilton’s social media status tipped off the Grizzlies and Bill Bestwick. The coach didn’t know for about nine days, but once he did he immediately contacted Grizzlies co-coach Craig Didmon, who was on the Royals coaching staff last year. Didmon had a little help, of course, as Pilton grew up playing with fellow Parksville native and Grizzlies defenceman Jaden Schmeisser, making it a familiar fit. The two are now roommates. “A lot of (BCHL) teams were calling me and I’m appreciative of that. I gave it a lot of thought and I’m very happy with the opportunity to come to a winning team
Don Denton/News staff
Kade Pilton recorded five goals and nine assists in 45 games with the Victoria Royals in 2011-12. He was drafted 25th overall by the Chilliwack Bruins in the ’09 WHL Bantam Draft. here in Victoria,” Pilton said. Naturally it’s going to be an adjustment period for the big guy. He struggled with consistency in the WHL and though he has three points in his first two games, he can’t be expected to dominate. But he is part of a deep team that is showing playoff promise, winning gritty mid-season games through talent, but also by outworking teams, as they did on Sunday afternoon at Bear Mountain Arena. “I think (Friday and Sunday) Pilton got more ice time than he did in the last month so he’s only going to get better,” Bestwick said, “especially as he gets to know the opponents. And he’s a 1994, so he’s got two more years (in the BCHL) if he wants it.” With a full season in the WHL, Pilton has waived his NCAA eligibility, but junior A could be the arena he needs to
flesh out his game and develop into a solid WHLer for the 2013-14 season. The Pats continue to own his rights, though they might not be that keen on him since he left. With one and a half seasons played, Pilton also has CIS bursaries waiting for him from the WHL after he’s finished with junior. He wouldn’t be the first player to drop down from the WHL and return after a stint in the BCHL, nor would he be the first player to crack the pro ranks from junior A. “I haven’t put too much thought into going back to the WHL yet, just taking it one game at a time right now. Maybe the WHL and CIS (route) is still an option, or maybe I can go pro,” he said. One thing is for sure: Pilton’s happy being back and playing on the Island. Mom, dad, and extended family were at the game on Sunday, and saw what they already knew – that for a tall defenceman, he has a goal scorers’ touch around the net, evidenced by his breakaway goal. Pilton’s arrival comes just prior to the Jan. 11 trade deadline, though the coach said he’s happy with his team, but is still open to adding another player or players. “There’s that thinking you must do something, or have to do something to improve your team, but I still believe we can get better from inside our room,” Bestwick said. “Sometimes the best trade you make is the one you turn down.” If there is an area Bestwick is looking at upgrading it’s depth in the forward lines, possibly with some more offence. The Grizzlies (24-9-0-3) are first in the BCHL, tied with the Penticton Vees (24-10-0-3) in points with 51, but own a better winning percentage. sports@vicnews.com
The Victoria Cougars will face the Saanich Braves on Thursday, but on Saturday, a combined 11 players from both teams will lace up the skates for the South division team at the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League All-Star Classic. Puck drop is Thursday night between the league’s first-place Cougars (33-1-2-) and second-place Braves (25-7-2), 7 p.m. at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. The Prospects Game, Skills competition and All-Star Classic are at 1:30, 3:30 and 4:40 p.m. respectively at Oceanside Place in Parksville on Saturday. The Cougars are coming off a three-inthree weekend in which they defeated the Westshore Wolves 9-2 and Saanich Braves 2-1 on Thursday and Friday, but lost in a shootout to the Nanaimo Buccaneers 4-3 in Nanaimo on Saturday. Cougars coach Mark Van Helvoirt abstained from commenting about the 236 penalty minutes accrued between the Wolves (20-17-1) and Cougars on Thursday, except that he was proud how his team held its ground and kept its cool. The Cougars earned 72 penalty minutes to the Wolves’ 142, and scored five powerplay goals. The Cougars followed it up on Friday and Saturday with a
pair of highly skilled games, barely managing to beat the Braves at Pearkes arena on Friday. It was the Braves’ first game with sniper Max Mois back in the lineup since Dec. 14. “Both teams are still missing key parts but somewhat healthy, and I thought it was how games should be in this league. We really enjoy playing games like that,” Van Helvoirt said. Braves keeper Tanner McGaw was the busier of the duelling goaltenders, making 31 saves on 33 shots, to Evan Roch’s 20 saves on 21 shots. “Both stood on their head and it came down to the last couple of minutes,” Van Helvoirt said. On Saturday, the Buccaneers became the third team this season to deny the Cougars two points, scoring twice in the third period to tie it 3-3. The Bucs won in the shootout on the strength of goalie Riley Medves, who stopped all four Cougars shooters. “I was somewhat surprised how we reacted in such a close game,” Van Helvoirt said. “It was the last of a threein-three, so it was a good test, but it seemed that our conditioning was off in the third game.” Tomorrow night the Braves will be looking for revenge as they meet the Cougars for the seventh of eight meetings this season. The Cougars visit the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Friday night, while the Braves host the Westshore Wolves. sports@vicnews.com
Royals flip D-man for pick On Monday the Victoria Royals shipped defenceman Jesse Zgraggen to the Calgary Hitmen for a fourth-round selection in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

His departure makes room for the talented core of younger defencemen, Joe Hicketts, Jack Walker, Ryan Gagnon and Kolton Dixon.

It’s all-star season for the Island’s senior soccer leagues. On Saturday the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association hosted two all-star matches at Westhills Stadium in Langford, while the senior men’s Vancouver Island Soccer League games will play this Saturday at Hampton Turf. A mix of premier and Div. 1 representatives played in the LIWSA AllStar game, which ended 1-1 after the regulation 90 minutes. Team White won in penalty kicks, 5-4, when Andrea Strebel of Nanaimo United clinched it. “I was really pleased with the enthusiasm, effort and standard of play,” said director LIWSA competitions chair Randy Wachtin. “The event went off well, everybody left with smiles.” Haley Burns of the Vic A’s scored just over a minute into the game to make it 1-0 for Team White when her shot deflected off a defender and beat Team Black goalie Olivia deGoede of Prospect Lake. Ten minutes later Kelly Forbes, also of Prospect Lake, evened the game at one from a loose scramble in front of the White goal. The second LIWSA game featured Team Black, consisting of players from Div. 2 and 3A, winning 6-2 over Team White, made up of players from the Div. 3B and the over-30 A and B divisions. “The crowd was pretty into it with
signs and cheers, and at one point there was a distinct yell of ‘Go Mom!’ that everyone heard, a pretty fitting moment for the day,” Wachtin said. Team Black’s Emma Maynard of Peninsula D3A scored the first and last goals of the game. Also scoring for Black was Nicole Pugh (Cowichan), Loria Hales (Castaways FC), Sarah Bryson (Castaways Utd.) and Joleen Hook (Cordova Bay Renegades). Tracy Forsberg (Castaways United O30A) and Sadie Quintal (Castaways) scored for Team White. Passes to Steven Nash Fitness World and athletic therapy sessions with Katie Pyne, who interned with the Highlanders FC, were among the prizes given out. Game MVPs won season tickets and a scarf from the Highlanders FC. MVP winners were Team White’s Samantha Kennedy (Vic West Premier) and to Team Black’s Kymber Gale (Saanich Fusion FC Premier) in the premier/Div. 1 game, and Team White’s Holli Kotylak (Ladysmith) and Team Black’s Nicole Pugh (Cowichan) in the Div. 2 and 3A vs. Div. 3B and over-30 A and B game. It was the fifth annual LIWSA AllStar game and Wachtin said the goal is to have it return to Westhills Stadium as an annual affair, an event the league hopes to grow. This Saturday at 3 p.m. is the VISL men’s Div. 1/2 All-Star game at Hampton Turf. Visit Vicnews.com for the VISL All -Star rosters. sports@vicnews.com
