Province growls at brewery tax loophole Fans of refillable beer product likely to pay packaged price soon Daniel Palmer News staff
It’s Friday afternoon at the corner of Bridge and David streets in Victoria’s Rock Bay neighbourhood. Five-ton trucks rumble by steel-fenced industrial warehouses, while a steady rush of patrons dutifully file through unmarked doors carrying what look like old moonshine bottles. Inside, staff at the neighbouring Hoyne and Driftwood breweries can barely keep pace with demand for a 19th-century tradition that’s been revived in recent
years, a result of the proliferation of craft brewing in the Capital Region. Sold by most breweries for a one-time price of $5, growlers are 1.8-litre glass jugs that can be filled and refilled for about $10 onsite. While only slightly cheaper than an average six-pack at the liquor store, growler use has exploded in popularity for obvious reasons, said Gary Lindsay, Driftwood brewery owner. “It’s like going to a bakery to get your bread or to a marketplace that has their own farm,” he said. “Anything that connects people to the source of what they’re buying, it means a lot more to them.” Brewery owners also keep more revenue from growler sales. B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch takes a lower mark-up on draught than on packaged beer sales, a
difference of .28 cents per litre. But on April 1, the LDB will begin siphoning those savings back into government coffers, arguing patrons are consuming the beer off-site so the draught rate shouldn’t apply. Local brewers can’t predict if the change will impact their bottom line, but the cost will undoubtedly be passed on to the customer. That doesn’t bode well for brewery regulars like Peggy Leonard, a 40-something Victoria resident who fills up two growlers every weekend. “If I’m going to somebody’s house, I’ll bring a growler and everybody wants to try it,” Leonard said, adding a higher price may impact her love for takeaway draught.

Score one for the little guy. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, which oversees the industry, bowed to public pressure and agreed that telecoms should consult municipalities before installing new cell towers. Municipalities can now make nonbinding suggestions for optimal placement and esthetics of the towers, the federal body ruled last week. The move is being celebrated by Esquimalt Coun. Dave Hodgins, who brought the resolution forward at last October’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Victoria. “It’s going to be in our municipal jurisdiction, so we need to be involved in the conversation,” he said. As cell towers become more densely located in urban areas, discussions on esthetic integration are becoming more popular, Hodgins said. “We should be looking at hidden design,” he said. Last year, Vancouver considered replacing new cell towers with V-poles – concept streetlamps that include Wi-Fi, cell towers and even electric vehicle charging stations. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Homeward bound HMCS Regina crew can almost taste home cooking as they sail to Esquimalt Don Descoteau News staff
HMCS Regina is in the homestretch of a long deployment to the Arabian Sea and crew members are excited to be that much closer to Esquimalt Harbour. Between participating in the multinational counter-terrorism Operation Aramis, undertaking training exercises and engaging in outreach efforts in various ports of call, it has been an eventful eight months, said the ship’s commanding officer, Cmdr. Jason Boyd. “Pulling in the harbour that morning on the 14th, there will be a real sense of satisfaction when we get home,” he said during a stopover in Hawaii on Tuesday. But even after accomplishing such things as interrupting an illicit drug shipment in January and helping rescue the crew of a stranded Yemeni fishing boat in October, the yearning to get home is strong. “It’s such a long transit home
in the Pacific Ocean,” Boyd said. “When we dropped out of (the mission) and we’re finally pointing east and heading toward home, you realize there’s still 50 days in front of you before you get there. Things tend to dip a little in terms of spirits and morale. But Hawaii is a very familiar stop for our sailors, with lots of familiar landmarks. We know it means we’re not far from home.” Regina and ships from the 26 other partner nations in Operation ARTEMIS operated under a different mandate than the UN Security Council resolution that followed 9-11, Boyd said. Their powers to act, upon boarding a suspected drug smuggling ship, are limited to seizing the narcotics and letting the individuals go free. When Regina disrupted the smuggler ship – the vessel was tracked using a state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicle – the culprits fled and dropped most of cargo over the side, leaving an estimated 450 kilograms of narcot-

The UAV boosted the ship’s reconnaissance capability, Boyd said. “We were looked upon as one of the go-to ships because of our surveillance abilities. It made us a big player and brought a lot of credibility to our navy.” In all, Regina crew boarded 19 vessels, mostly just to check nationality of those on board, he said. After the ship reaches port next Thursday, it will enter a period of technical maintenance to bring the frigate back up to ship-shape. Boyd is due to take over the Naval Officer Training Centre in Esquimalt in May or June, while Cmdr. Dan Charlebois, currently stationed at naval headquarters in Ottawa, will take over as commander of Regina. editor@vicnews.com

Developer proposes multi-use sewage treatment facility Esquimalt mayor to bring to CRD committees Daniel Palmer News staff
The future site of the Capital Regional District’s wastewater treatment facility has the potential to become a world-class environmental and sustainable energy destination, says one local company.
Erik Lindquist, president of Titus Infrastructure Services, put a proposal forward to Esquimalt council at a closed meeting Monday that calls for a 650,000-sq.-ft. mixed-use facility at McLoughlin Point. The proposal envisions building a 100,000-sq.-ft. wastewater treatment and resource recovery plant, in addition to commercial and residential space. “It’s the most expensive piece of property on the south Island and the CRD wants to turn it into a dis-
posal site,” said Lindquist, whose company specializes in heat and resource recovery projects. Mayor Barb Desjardins forwarded the proposal to the CRD board and core area liquid waste management committee for consideration at their March 13 meetings. “We can’t officially endorse or reject this proposal, but we’re really interested in some of the concepts and ideas, and we want to encourage the CRD to really look at this sort of project going
forward,” she said. Desjardins admitted “one or two” similar tertiary treatment facilities would be needed throughout Greater Victoria, which could prove a hard sell to CRD directors. “The ultimate goal is resource recovery, but also waste management, so that (municipalities) wouldn’t have to send waste to a central facility,” she said. Similar projects are already underway at Westhills in Langford and the Capital City Centre

Centre development in Colwood, Lindquist said. “This is going back to where we were in the process before we turned around and made, in my opinion, the wrong turn,” Desjardins said. The CRD is in the planning stages of a $782-million secondary sewage treatment project. Two-thirds of the funding will come from the provincial and federal governments, but any cost overruns will fall on CRD homeowners. dpalmer@vicnews.com

The Vancouver Island Health Authority is in the final stages of creating a 24-7 on-call acute care psychiatry team at Victoria General Hospital, thanks in part to a Victoria family’s petition that has garnered more than 27,000 signatures. In a story first told by the News, Kelly and Owen Bradley publicly aired their frustration towards VIHA for refusing to admit their 11-year-old daughter, who suffers from bipolar distorder, to Victoria General Hospital in January. After a 19-day wait, their daughter was finally admitted to Ledger House in Saanich, the Island’s only child and adolescent mental health facility with 13 beds. “We do recognize the need to enhance and expand our services in this area,” said Dr. Richard Crowe, VIHA’s executive medical director of mental health and addiction services. Crowe said he’s seen roughly 20 per cent more youth and children presenting at local hospitals for mental health services compared to a few years ago. VIHA plans to spend an additional $900,000 on child and adolescent psychiatrists this year, including two new full-time positions for Greater Victoria. VGH has also extended weekend hours of its mental health crisis nurses, while its collaborative psychiatry team will include both child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists to provide full coverage, Crowe said. There are currently seven

Kelly and Owen Bradley, pictured in their Fernwood home, attracted thousands of signatures to their online petition asking the province and Vancouver Island Health Authority to address a gap in mental health care for children and youth. VIHA-employed psychiatrists in the Victoria area, but most are part-time and do not specialize in acute care, he added. “This is the case for all of the health care authorities across Canada – there are simply not enough child psychiatrists,” Crowe said. Kelly Bradley admitted the long-term solutions aren’t easy, but said acute care is just a piece of the puzzle.

For that, Moore and Ferguson teamed up with University of Victoria computer engineering professor Jans Weber through Mitacs-Accelerate, a federal program designed to fund research and development between industry and academics. The encryption and communication protocols on the SmartPager system are as stringent as possible, Weber says, but balances the need for ease of use and quick transmission. “Overall this is where health care needs to go – more mobile, with better information and secure information flows.” SmartPager’s largest client group involves about 85 doctors working out of the Centre for Orthopedic Research and Education (CORE) in Phoenix. CORE surgeon Dr. Jason Scalise says it wasn’t hard to abandon pagers. The SmartPager system allows his medical centre to track the 2,500 to 3,000 daily messages and log response times and information flow. “The entire paging infrastructure in the U.S. is physically failing,” Scalise says from his office in Phoenix. “If a page doesn’t get through, the recipient and sender would never know. “We want to make sure (SmartPager) works for our work flow. Then we will be pushing it on other doctors outside our organization, so that if they need to get in touch, they can use SmartPager and not call a call centre to take a message, type it out then send it to me.” editor@saanichnews.com

Saanich Recreation has partnered with the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE) to deliver physical literacy programs to children, ages 18 months to 10 years old. The partnership between recreation and sport has been a great win for Saanich and PISE as traditionally the two sectors of recreation and sport have worked independently. PISE’s movement and sport knowledge helps teach children the fundamental movement and physical awareness skills that are needed for a healthy active future. For children to be able to enjoy a variety of sports and physical activities they need to acquire the skills and confidence developed through physical literacy. The multi-sport programs currently being offered are: Active Start Parent and Tot (18 months -2 years), Active Start (3-4 years) Active ABCs (5-7 years), and Active Sport (8-10 years). The offerings are located at Saanich Commonwealth Place and Gordon Head Middle School. Physical Literacy Spring Break Camps will also take place at Pearkes Recreation Centre during Spring Break. www.recreation.saanich.ca

The LDB levy chips away at craft brewery revenue at a time when most are looking to expand to bigger markets. “Like any other business in the food and beverage industry, it’s a game of nickels and dimes,” said John Fitterer, sales and marketing manager at Lighthouse Brewing Company. “Everyone’s trying to make a 10-to15-per-cent bottom line.” Lighthouse plans to open its first growler and tasting room next week after a 6,000-sq. ft. expansion. But other breweries like Phillips, Vancouver Island, Hoyne, Driftwood, Moon Under Water, Spinnaker’s and Canoe have been providing growler sales for varying periods, and all have seen a steady increase in onsite sales. “Part of the idea is it’s environmentally friendly to use the same growler, and it’s also really cost-efficient for the people buying it, and it’s great for us, because we don’t have to package product to sell it,” said Chelsea Walker, co-owner of Moon Under Water brewpub. In response to the planned mark-up, The Campaign for Real Ale Society of British Columbia is circulating an online petition that states the growler is at risk of becoming “an endangered species” in the province. “This tax hike will harm the growth of this industry and the culture of B.C.,” it says.

Media scenario in Victoria changes with new hires CHEK-TV and the Times-Colonist install top management Don Descoteau News staff
Viewers and readers might not notice much difference when they flip on CHEK-TV or pick up the Times-Colonist newspaper. But both media outlets have made big changes at the top recently, one slightly more controversial than the other. CHEK has a new president, but Roy Gardner is a familiar face, a man who spent 15 years with the station in the 1970s and ‘80s. He replaces John Pollard, who helped a group of employees, along with other investors, buy the station from CanWest Global Communications in 2009, averting its closure. At the Times-Colonist, David Radler, former partner in the Hollinger newspaper chain with convicted felon Conrad Black and a man who served jail time himself for fraud, is the new acting publisher. He replaces Bob McKenzie, who stepped down last week after 46 years in the business. Radler, who has 40 years’ experience overseeing dailies, is known as an operations spe-
cialist, a man with a history of trimming jobs to shore up the bottom line of a publication or company, said David Black, associate professor of communication and culture at Royal Roads University (no relation to the Black Press co-owner of the same name, or Conrad Black). Despite media reports Radler has no plans to make job cuts at the TC, Black worries what his installation – however temporary – might do to morale at the daily. “From what I know of the Hollinger story, they were into lean organizations,” he said. “You may see some of those incremental changes that allow newspapers to outsource and cut costs.” Gardner takes over a uniquely independent company – one of only two such TV stations in Canada – that is not linked to a larger corporate structure, a factor Black said leaves them fighting an uphill battle for viewership. However, revenues for network television have remained fairly constant in this country, while newspaper revenues in general have not, he said.
The way readers consume information is becoming increasingly integrated, Black said, with many people turning to online news and entertainment sources. He noted that the Times-Colonist, in a mid-sized market such as Victoria, faces readership and business challenges not only from online sources, but from community newspapers such as those published by Black Press. And the question remains whether Greater Victoria can support two TV stations, with CTV 2 generating its own following in the region and beyond. Both CHEK and the TimesColonist share the problem of a small advertising base in this market and the strength of Victoria being highly educated and relatively affluent, Black said. Despite being in a market with a high concentration of media – and a highly competitive one – creatively, the two properties are in a beneficial place, he said. “We have Victoria punching above its weight with respect of being a place of media innovation in Canada.” editor@vicnews.com
Good Samaritan stops downtown purse thief A purse-snatcher was thwarted by a Good Samaritan Sunday night, but police are still looking for the suspect. A 28-year-old Saanich woman was walking in the 800-block of Yates St. when a man walked up behind her, cut her purse strap and ran away with the purse.
A short time later an anonymous man called 911 and told VicPD he had recovered the purse and turned it in to a security guard at the Yates Street parkade. None of the contents were missing from the purse. The suspect is Caucasian, in his mid-20’s with black hair and
a black beard. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing blue jeans and a red hoodie. Anyone with information on the suspect or the anonymous man is asked to call VicPD at 250-995-7654 or anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). dpalmer@vicnews.com
ESQUIMALT COUNCIL NEWS IN BRIEF
Legion development advances to public input Esquimalt councillors faced a packed council meeting Monday as they approved the first stages of a rezoning application for the Legion development. The mixed-use building at 622 Admirals Rd. would include 140 seniors independent living apartments, 12 units reserved for veterans, plus commercial space. “With the concerns we heard, I’d say parking remains a concern (for residents),” said Mayor Barb Desjardins. The proposal proceeds to a
public hearing, which should take place within the next month, Desjardins added. “I think there’s an opportunity here to address that parking challenge going forward. Esquimalt needs this, but there’s some tweaking to do,” said Coun. Dave Hodgins. Once the public input concludes, the proposal will undergo review by the township’s design panel. Additional amenities such as the implementation of public art could be included at this stage, Desjardins said. Watch for updates at esquimalt.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Liberal secrets can’t be denied Politics is never as exciting as in the weeks leading up to an election. And this year’s provincial election campaign season is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in decades. The latest carbuncle on the Liberal party’s elbow has cost premier Christy Clark her long-time assistant, Kim Haakstad and Lessons to be multiculturalism learned from minister John Yap. Despite several latest scandal apologies, Clark and the Liberals are feeling the heat from their secret plan to woo ethnic voters by using cheap apologies rather than solid policies. So, they had a plan to get the ethnic vote – so what, we’ll bet the NDP does too. The problem here is the government was apparently planning on using taxpayers money to do it, and they were using personal email accounts in order to hide their plan – which is unnacceptable on any terms. With the scandal uncovered it clearly shows the Liberals have a deceptive side. This government, which has always claimed to be open and transparent in its communications, has shown us its true colours. Their efforts to hide communications by using personal emails is a deliberate act that leaves voters uneasy and shakes the confidence of Liberal party members. What we are witness to now – some six weeks away from a provincial election – is the implosion of the Liberal party, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the demise of Bill Vander Zalm’s Social Credit party in the early 1990s. As it sets the stage for a potential NDP landslide, it also sets the stage for how future governments behave. The lesson here is stick to the rules and when you make a promise to be open and honest, take it as seriously as your constituents will.

So far, more than $500 million has been allocated to 228 projects. That level of investment has resulted in a highly successful track record in leveraging funds from other project partners. The ratio is 2.4:1, with $1.4 billion leveraged from $560 million. Amazingly, two of the 14-member SDTC board are prominent local residents, including its chair, Juergen Puetter of Aeolis Wind, and former Saanich-Gulf Islands Member of Parliament Gary Lunn, who was recently appointed. I sincerely hope they will succeed in gaining replenishment of funding for clean-tech in this spring’s budget. It has tremendous potential for the planet, for Canada and for Saanich-Gulf Islands.

Modern rail, historic buildings able to co-exist Victoria council and city planners surely could have been more creative visionaries and developed a strategy to conserve the historic Roundhouse building, while also preserving our historic rail line. Huge successes have been realized by cities of all sizes across Eastern Canada and the United States that are reclaiming and modernizing rail for continuous connection to communities. Continuous modern rail could boost local economies, reduce social isolation and ease environmental stressors. Can we not learn from this? Recently presented demographic survey analysis from across Canada indicates that Vancouver Island (and specifically Victoria) will continue to steadily attract approaching retirees for permanent residency. It seems to me that this population would especially benefit from continuous, modern rail transportation.
By blending the old and the new, modern rail can be established in Victoria and must, once again, traverse the Johnson Street Bridge into Old Town. Current building standards indicate that modern rail could be supported on the new Johnson Street Bridge. One of the many reasons the historic Roundhouse building and rail must be preserved is the character it brings to this city. Buildings and transportation amenities with history are beautiful and serve as a reminder of days gone by. They add colour to the community and they are revenue generators. In short, historic structures are good for tourism and business and they add vibrancy to our city core. Why has our city council demonstrated a lack of forethought in some of its fundamental planning? Are their values in harmony with those of taxpaying citizens of Victoria? Marilyn Ferguson Victoria

Saanich dept. remains loyal to the Regional Crime Unit Better value with integrated units than regional force: chief Kyle Slavin News staff
The Greater Victoria Regional Crime Unit is down two more partners, after Sidney and North Saanich pulled funding from the integrated force this week. Their exit from the RCU, Victoria stepped away in 2009, has reignited discussion around integration vs. amalgamation. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard says while his municipality will “carry on” contributing to the unit, which focuses on catching prolific property thieves, for the foreseeable future, things could change. What makes the future uncertain, Leonard says, is last week’s report from Attorney General Shirley Bond that promises another look at regional policing in Greater Victoria. “That will address all the different arrangements and help us get some consistency,” the mayor said. Leonard, a strong proponent of integrating services as opposed to amalgamating police departments, says he’s disappointed both Sidney and North Saanich will no longer fund the RCU.
Saanich police Chief Const. Mike Chadwick said being part of integrated units such as the RCU is a better strategy than a single regional department. “There are different ways some of the critical needs (of the region) can be met without amalgamating the whole group. I don’t see Saanich taxpayers … paying $214 per person to $400 per person (more) to split half their department to police downtown,” Chadwick said. “We certainly see tremendous value in being part of (the RCU),” he added. “(Fewer municipalities) diminishes the collaborative effort, but I don’t know that it’s necessarily going to weaken the unit.” The Sidney/North Saanich RCMP didn’t have a member working in the RCU, but the pullout by both municipalities results in $99,000 less in funding over the next 12 months. Oak Bay police Chief Mark Fisher, a member of the RCU joint management team, said the funding cut likely means member training and overtime will be reduced. “Less financial or human
resources makes it more challenging,” he said. “Now there’s a smaller budget to work with for the year, and we’ll re-evaluate when it comes to 2014. We’ll have a better idea of the impact (of less funding) then, too.” The RCU has an annual budget of roughly $1.1 million, 54 per cent of which is paid by Saanich. North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall says her municipality wasn’t getting its money’s worth, considering the investment it’s put in over the last five years. The RCU responded to North Saanich only four or five times since 2008, while the unit responded to Sidney just once. “There were not a lot of action calls for us or for Sidney. This was the consideration for both towns – a significant expenditure each year with low use,” Finall said. The RCU is staffed by Saanich, Oak Bay, and Central Saanich police, and West Shore and provincial RCMP officers. Sooke RCMP provides a financial contribution. – files from Steven Heywood kslavin@saanichnews.com

Retail plans for 12 acres of the Sandown racetrack property in North Saanich are being revived after almost a year of inactivity. Owner of the property, William Randall, and development company Omicron say they are going to bring their proposed land deal back to the District of North Saanich, 10 months after councillors rejected a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the municipality, the owner and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) in April 2012. That majority vote essentially killed the matter, as council decided not to proceed over costs to taxpayers and alleged ALC interference in the district’s business. Peter Laughlin, Omicron’s director for Vancouver Island, says they want to bring the same deal back to council, after negotiating with district staff some of the sticking points of the MOU. “We are just starting to talk with the district,” he said. “It’s the same proposal as last year. No housing, just retail.” Laughlin said they are cur-

deputy CEO Lynne Jordon. An open house will be held tomorrow (March 7) at the branch to discuss the possibility of relocating the library across the street to Uptown. “We like to have our libraries co-located with other places where people are going to gather or congregate or use, and Uptown is a good place to investigate (as a possible relocation site),” Jordon said. Benefits of moving to Uptown include a new space being more
energy efficient and being more flexible to the library’s needs. Attendees will have the opportunity to see conceptual renderings, and provide input on what services the new library should have. The open house runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Emily Carr branch at 3500 Blanshard St. Material from the open house and an online survey will be available at gvpl.ca from March 9 to 18. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Big line carries Braves into series VIJHL South final Game 4 tonight Travis Paterson News staff
Max Mois only scored once in the Saanich Braves 6-4 win over the Victoria Cougars in Game 2 of the South final on Monday night, but his play around the ice was noticeably different. Each player on the Braves’ top line of Mois, Josh Gray and Cole Golka scored once, as the Braves evened the series at one game apiece on home ice at Pearkes arena. But it was Mois who won puck battles, out-skated and outworked the swift moving Cougars defence, and symbolized a different look than the Braves who lost 5-1 in Game 1 on Sunday. “They had a fire in them, and were getting the bounces and getting pucks on net, which they didn’t do in Game 1,” Braves assistant coach Scott Hawthorne said. Despite how it looked from the stands, Hawthorne didn’t think Mois, Gray and Golka played that much of a different game than Game 1, but agreed there was some improvements. “Throughout the lineup our guys were definitely a lot more
willing to sacrifice the body and block shots (on Monday). We were able to rise to the challenge, we just needed to do a lot of the little things.” Results from Game 3 last night were past press time. Game 4 is tonight (March 8), 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes. “We outplayed them five-onfive,” Mois said. “But we have to continue to key in on their power play. If we can do that we’re good from here on in.”
“It’s going to be a very good series. You have to come out with desperation to start the games.” – Mark Van Helvoirt Game 2 was vastly different from Game 1, as Braves defenceman Liam Sproule scored to make it 1-0. Water on the ice delayed the second period. When play started the Braves quickly stretched the lead to 4-0 with power play goals from Golka and Gray and an even strength goal from Nick Guerra. It was only the halfway point, however, and when the penalties started to go against the Braves, the Cougars immediately capitalized with power play goals of
their own from Brody Coulter and Dane Feeney to make it 4-2. A minute later, and still only 11 minutes into the second period, the Braves struck back when Mois buried a pass from Gray to make it 5-2. The Cougars didn’t let up, but the big Braves defence, buoyed by the return of Brandon Parmar, seemed much more adept in using small surface of Pearkes to their advantage. Victoria sniffed a comeback with a power play to start the third period when Parmar poked the puck loose with a diving effort at the Cougars’ blue line. Braves forward Sam Johnston jumped on it for a breakaway goal past goalie Evan Roch. It all but sealed the game’s outcome as one could feel a gust of steam emitted from the Cougars’ bench. Feeney eventually completed the hat trick with two power play goals late in the third period. Braves goalie Tanner McGaw made 48 saves on 52 shots. Roch stopped 30 of 36 for the Cougars. “It took us 25 minutes to wake up and get some urgency into our game,” said Cougars coach Mark Van Helvoirt. “A couple bad bounces, couple bad calls and we get off the rails, focusing on the wrong things.” sports@vicnews.com

Claremont wrestler leads the way
SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Nationals come next as high school season ends for wrestlers
Playoffs shape up for Victoria Hockey League

When his season didn’t start well, Nolan Mitchell contemplated his future in wrestling. But the 15-yearold and defending provincial champion didn’t quit. He just kept working, and on Saturday Mitchell won gold in the 45-kiloNolan Mitchell gram class of the B.C. high school wrestling championships, held at Duncan’s Island Savings Centre. “It was a big win and came with a big adrenaline rush. I like seeing that I can get better and I can continue,” he said. It’s the second straight year he’s won gold at provincials as the only wrestler out of Claremont secondary school,

It’s also the second straight year Mitchell defeated Justin Cacatian in the final, and was a moment of retribution, as it was Cacatian who knocked Mitchell out at SFU’s War on the Floor in the fall. “It wasn’t a dominant win or anything but it was nice to get (Cacatian) back after
he beat me this (at War on the Floor).” In four fights Mitchell won by pin, then by technical superiority (leading by six points) in each of his next three, never needing a third round. About a dozen Greater Victoria wrestlers in all competed at provincials. Esquimalt’s Carlton Cochran (fifth) and Erin Geddie (sixth) and Reynolds’ Paul Aquino (fifth) placed in the top six of their respective weight classes. It’s a solid finish for Cochran, a Grade 10 and rookie to the sport. Two more wrestlers from the Victoria Bulldogs district team nearly medalled. Oak Bay High’s John Fayad pinned his second opponent but was knocked out in his third match. Stelly’s Donovan Huynh went 2-2, losing his fourth match by a point. “It’s exhausting to see one of your wrestler’s lose by a point, it just drains you,” said Huynh’s coach, Ed Ashmore. “But you gotta recover because you gotta get your kid recovered.” Mitchell is currently in fundraising mode seeking sponsorship to build on his national bronze medal when he attends the Canadian championships in Saskatoon next month. Fayad is also planning on attending. sports@vicnews.com

With playoffs clinched frustrations rise for Royals Royals host Giants, Winterhawks Travis Paterson News staff
If the Victoria Royals draw the Kamloops Blazers in the first round of the WHL playoffs — look out. The teams combined for 156 penalty minutes at Kamloops’ Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, a 6-0 Blazers’ win. It was the Royals’ 10th straight loss, though the team has managed a paltry two points along the way. The Royals (37-27-2-4) played in Kelowna on Wednesday night (results were past press time) and are home tonight (March 8) to face the Vancouver Giants, 7 p.m. at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Small as it might seem, those two points the Royals picked up in February, one an overtime loss and the other a shootout loss, are part of a four point cushion on which the
Allen Douglas photo
Royals forward Mitch Deacon fights Blazers forward J.C. Lipon in Kamloops on Tuesday night. Royals are resting, having clinched sixth place and a playoff spot in the Western conference. The absence of 21-year-olds Alex Gogolev and now Tyler Stahl due to injuries have certainly hurt the team. Gogolev’s been out since Feb. 5. At that point Gogolev had a three-game goal scoring streak and had posted 22 points in 13 games in January, during which the Royals shot up to fourth place.
Despite dropping 10 straight, the Royals have clinched sixth place. With seven games remaining it’s numerically possible to catch the fifth place Spokane Chiefs, though unlikely. The seventhplace Seattle Thunderbirds are too far behind to catch the Royals. In the meantime, frustration is boiling over for the Royals. Ninety-three of the penalty minutes assessed on Tuesday night went to the Roy-
als in the third period. And there was controversy, when Tim Traber of the Royals jumped Kale Kessy of the Blazers in the third period. Perhaps unknown to Traber is that Kessy was being choked by his own jersey and, by many Blazers’ accounts, was rendered unconscious, said Kamloops This Week. Blazers goalie Cole Cheveldave only faced 14 shots to earn the shutout. Patrik Polivka started in net for the Royals, made 17 saves on 22 shots, and was replaced with Coleman Vollrath to start the third period. The Blazers are within a point of the B.C. division-leading Kelowna Rockets. Should the Blazers finish third in the West, a Round 1 series with the Royals — a roughand-tumble one, no doubt — will be in the cards. - files from Marty Hastings/Kamloops This Week

Belmont bomb Oak Bay for spot at AAA provincials Bulldogs win AAA Island basketball championships challenge game Travis Paterson News staff
With five and half minutes left on Tuesday night the Oak Bay Bays were within a point of the Belmont Bulldogs, at 49-48. At that point, neither team’s players were thinking that this was the last quarter of their season, or high school career. But it was. The Bulldogs went on a dominant fourth-quarter run and won the challenge game 71-54, taking the second and final Island berth for the AAA Boys Basketball Provincial Championships in Langley, March 12 to 16. The game came about because Belmont, which finished third at the Island AAA boys championships at Mount Douglas on Saturday, hadn’t played second-place Oak Bay in the tournament. The Bulldogs had the right to chal-
lenge the Bays for the spot at provincials, and they did. Belmont’s Erik Spaven scored 19 points to lead all scorers, but it was the clutch three-pointers hit by Bulldog Dan Massy, six of them for all 18 of his points, that was the difference for the Bulldogs. “It’s huge to get that scoring from Massy with Spaven and Owen Vaags getting so much attention,” said Bulldogs coach Kevin Brown. It was the first time the Bulldogs beat the Bays this year, but it’s not as cut and dry as it might seem. Brown sees it as a threeway tossup between Island champs Claremont Spartans, who Belmont beat this year, and the Bays. “A lot of people looking from outside might think it’s a big deal that we upset Oak Bay but us, Claremont and Oak Bay can all beat each other. It really could have been any three of us winning Islands or in the challenge game.” Belmont nearly defeated Claremont twice in season play this season, and also lost by a point
in overtime at home to Oak Bay. “We weren’t expecting to win the challenge game but we weren’t surprised either, it’s just so close between us,” Brown said. The unranked Bulldogs will face South Kamloops at provincials while Claremont will face St. George. “Any time your high school career is over, there’s going to be disappointment and sadness. It’s just a natural situation,” Bays coach Chris Franklin said. Among the graduating seniors with the Oak Bay Bays are allstars Matt Hampton and Liam Horne. Replacing them will be difficult, Franklin said. “It’s a great group of boys, I really enjoyed coaching them, unfortunately we weren’t able to get off the Island.” On Wednesday morning the St. Michaels University School Blue Jaguars won Game 1 of the boys AA basketball provincials and Oak Bay Breakers won Game 1 of the AAA girls provincials.

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, March 8, 2013
Compact shop has unique designs, typewriter rentals Stepping into the lobby of the Milne building at 560 Johnson St., one’s eyes immediately dart left, then right. Before long the visitor realizes they’re in a retail shop. But it’s not just any store selling cards and other miscellaneous paper products. There’s a sense this is something special. Most of the unique cards and paper at Regional Assembly of Text are displayed under Don Descoteau the building’s grand staircase. Biz Beat But against the other wall, surrounded by colourful stationery, are four stations with typewriters, available for rent to the public by the hour for a small fee. The quaint arrangement harkens back to a slower time when computers and the Internet were the stuff of futuristic fantasy. The idea of sitting down to type out a note comes from the successful “letter writing club” co-owners Brandy Fedoruk and Rebecca Dolen began when they opened their first shop seven years ago, in Vancouver’s Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood. “It’s kind of a challenging space,” Mount Doug secondary alumnus Fedoruk says, looking around the lobby. “But we were up for the challenge and fell in love with this space.” Unlike at their other store, where once a month 20 or 30 people gather to clickclack away at whatever kind of notes they wish, the Victoria typewriters are
The women liken their business model to the back-to-the-land trend toward single-purpose specialists, such as butchers, bakers and fishmongers. The unique cards and paper are all designed by the women, who graduated in 2003 from Emily Carr School of Art and Design and have developed a thriving wholesale business that ships around North America. They’ll be based in Vancouver, but plan to arrange their schedule to be able to spend time at the Victoria location as often as possible. “It’s nice having a little space where you can see people enjoying what you do,” Fedoruk says. – Regional Assembly of Text, lobby 560 Johnson St., open Monday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Call 778-2656067 or visit assemblyoftext.com.

Rebecca Dolen, front, and co-owner Brandy Fedoruk pose at one of the typewriter stations in their newly opened Regional Assembly of Text location on Johnson Street. expected to have a different use. “I can imagine tourists coming in and writing a letter to someone,” Fedoruk says. “The pace is slower. You can’t delete things so you have to compose your sentences (a little) ahead of time,” Dolen adds.

Miss Daisy is the name of the 1947 Chrysler New York-style taxi parked in front of Vancouver’s Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House.
Victoria-area furniture maker Paul Fisher was driving to a suburban restaurant for dinner with his wife when he spotted a rusty truck in a driveway. “I always liked the curved ALYN EDWARDS shape of the 1950sCLASSIC style panel truck,” he RIDES says. He bought the truck, had it restored and put it to work. The burgundy and cream 1955 Ford half ton panel van is used several times a week to deliver furniture between his home workshop in Sooke and his store on Victoria’s downtown Fort Street. His wife, an accomplished artist, hand-lettered The English Cabinet Maker on the sides of the van. When the Ford panel van isn’t parked in front of the store, it’s delivering custom wine cabinets, armoires, bedroom sets, dining room tables and sideboards. Paul, who apprenticed in London, England as a cabinet maker, says the truck turns a lot of heads and draws a lot of people into the store. He admits that he could have bought a new van for the money he spent acquiring and restoring the 1955 Ford panel truck. “This vehicle is the most practical older character vehicle I could have bought and it has become my signature,” he says. “I’m not a typical old car person. I am a cabinet maker, that’s what I do. But the vehicle is very much a part of me and I’m hoping never to have to give it up.” In a similar vein, Vancouver’s Dayton Boots, circa 1946, has one of Vancouver’s best loved neon signs – Boots by Dayton - from that era above its East Hasting Street factory and store. It’s hard to miss this building with the company’s red 1940 Ford one ton pickup parked outside. Business partner Hall Risk uses the 73-year-old pickup truck every day to commute from his False Creek home. Dayton partner Stephen Encarnacao bought the pickup truck four years ago. It was originally the fire chief ’s truck in the Fraser Valley community of Langley. “When we drive the truck on

Hastings Street, people jump up and down, clap and cheer,” Stephen says. “This truck was already in use when Dayton Boots started business in 1946 and it represents what the brand stands for: quality and durability.” Across town, there is always a New York-style 1940s Yellow Cab waiting at the curb outside the Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House on Thurlow Street just off Robson. The 1947 Chrysler Royal was purchased in Santa Barbara, California and retrofitted as a period-correct taxi. It may be the most photographed object in downtown Vancouver. The car is parked in front of the restaurant seven days a week and costs the restaurant $32 in daily parking meter fees. “There are millions of photographs of this car and our restaurant circulating all over the world and we get a million dollars in
advertising from it,” says restaurant general manager Scott Garrett. “The taxi is part of our Forties (Fortes) theme like our phone number: 604-6691940.” The popular restaurant spent $14,000 having the car mechanically rebuilt last year with a modern V8 engine, power steering and power disc brakes. It drives like a new car. The yellow taxi is used for monthly tours of all downtown hotels to brief concierges on the latest menu and feature dishes. “We also tour customers and dignitaries around the downtown area and they love it,” Scott Garrett explains. Adjacent to Vancouver’s Waterfront Station, there is a rotating classic car show outside the front doors of the Steamworks Brewing Company pub. Owner Eli Gershkovitch has a fleet of Continued on Pg.

classic cars that keep the streets of Gastown interesting and draw tourists and locals alike to his establishment. Eli’s an admitted lifelong car nut. But in the case of his 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe woody wagon, it wasn’t until after he designed a beer label featuring a woody that he actually thought about acquiring one himself. After a false start with a 1950s ‘wallpaper woody,’ Eli found his current car at a dealer in Palm Beach, Florida and had it shipped by rail and truck to Vancouver. Once here, Eli traded out the faded luan mahogany for rich Honduran mahogany and had a local craftsman apply 13 coats of marine spar varnish to the to give the panels and frame an almost glassy finish. Eli liked his ‘Beach Boys’ woody so much, he eventually picked up a rare, mid-1930s British Rolls Royce woody, a car that once saw service as a Second World War ambulance. Along with the woodys, Steamworks Brewing Company’s parking lot often features a Royal Blue 1942 Lincoln Continental coupe, a Tropical Turquoise 1957 Chevrolet BelAir convertible and, most recently, a pale yellow 1962 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible. Following up on the vintage theme, Steamworks Brewing Company sponsored the Gastown Concours d’Elegance car show on Labour Day Weekend for eight years. The popular event drew up to 50,000 spectators. That show has now moved to Crescent Beach in Surrey. But Steamworks continues its own car show, year round. “We rotate the cars parked in front to keep it fresh,” Eli says. “People really do appreciate classic cars and the effort it takes to maintain them. They may not be able to articulate it, but they

intuitively recognize good design when they see it and reward us with their business for keeping these cars on the road and making them accessible to the general public.” Eli Gershkovitch has some advice for business owners considering the use of vintage vehicles for advertising and promotion. “Make sure there is congruity between the cars and your business. Do it foremost as a labour of love. No matter what car you get, they are going to break down and be high maintenance. But it’s a great way to promote and advertise your business and, if you happen to be shy about talking about or promoting your business to strangers, nothing breaks the ice like a great classic car.
