Saanich mulls key contracts for kitchen scraps recycling

Power of the Velox freight train Velox’s Lynzi Anderson, supported by Monique Boag on the ground and Freddy Rajotte, tackle Burnaby Lake fullback Genevieve Gratton. Saanich-based Velox fell short of winning its second straight premier women’s championship with a 17-13 loss, this time on home soil, as the B.C. Rugby Union held three of its top finals at Wallace Field at the University of Victoria. The UVic Norsemen won the Div. 1 Ceili’s Cup 35-25 over Burnaby Lake, while James Bay capped the day with an 18-10 win over Burnaby Lake in the Rounsefell Cup premier men’s championship.

Saanich council on Monday was expected two approve two hefty contracts as part of the municipality’s move next year to keep kitchen scraps out of the landfill. The first contract, worth $3.2 million, was to be awarded to Rollins Machinery Limited to purchase 13 new collection trucks that are capable of automated bin pickup. “We held off for two budget cycles on some of the other vehicle replacements until we had a decision what kind of collection and what the model is,” said Mike Ippen, Saanich’s manager of public works. The second contract, worth $4.7 million, was to be awarded to Mitchell Brothers Farm. This contract is for Mitchell Brothers to receive the organics, collected in new green bins that will be provided to each Saanich household, and process the material to create compost for five years. One more request for proposals for garbage collection remains outstanding. Ippen hopes in the coming weeks Saanich will be able to begin to process to find a supplier of the curbside garbage and organics bins. In January council approved a new garbage collection system that will require Saanich homeowners to separate food scraps from traditional trash. The new collection system will also require households to wheel both bins to the curb every two weeks. An education campaign to prepare residents for the new collection system, slated to begin next year, is expected to start next month. kslavin@saanichnews.com

CRD rejects moving sewage plants to rural Saanich Don Descoteau News staff

The Capital Regional District has shot down a proposal to relocate the planned regional sewage treatment plant and the biosolids plant to rural farmland in Saanich. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins brought forward a motion to consider the proposal to last

Early estimates by CRD staff determined that moving the project to the Burnside site would require two additional pumping stations and many kilometres more pipe, and would increase the cost by 23 per cent, or an extra $200 million, for a total project cost of $962.7 million. Operating costs would be an estimated $734,000 higher per year. editor@vicnews.com

COMMUNITY NEWS Saanich school seeks scrap metal

Cloverdale Traditional School wants your scrap metal – anything from barbecues and lawn mowers to old car parts and bent nails – to build a new playground. The scrap metal will be recycled, with all the money going towards buying new playground equipment. “The parents and students at CTS are working very hard to raise money to replace two aging wooden/steel playground structures that have been around for over 20 years,” said John Schmuck, president of the Quadra Cedar Hill Community Association. Donations can be dropped off at Cloverdale’s parking lot (3427 Quadra St.) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 25. If you’re unable to attend, you can bring your scrap metal to Schnitzer Steel (307 David St.) Monday to Friday between May 15 and June 15, and ask them to donate the proceeds to the Cloverdale Traditional School PAC. The school is also asking for donations of bottles and cans. Beverage container returns can be dropped off at the Bottle Depot (3961 Quadra St.), and you can request there that the money be donated to the CTS PAC.

After 67 years, rec centre eyes update Low-key badminton building in Cordova Bay showing its age Kyle Slavin News staff

Regardless of which sport you play, the conditions of the court, rink or field – good or bad – factor in to your enjoyment of the game. So it’s no surprise the badminton players at the Cordova Bay Community Club are growing tired of their aging 67-year-old building. Purpose built by volunteer labour in 1946, the roughly 7,000-square-foot hall lacks many amenities one would expect at a modern-day recreation facility, like showers and locker rooms. “There’s a whole bunch of deficiencies. They start at the foundation and work up from there,” said Ron Jordan, president of the CBCC. There’s no rebar in the concrete foundation or insulation in the walls, the wooden posts and beams aren’t well-fastened, the roof will need replacing within a few years and there’s no sprinkler system in the building, he said. “All those deficiencies meant it was going to be just as expensive to do a complete renovation than it would be to tear it down and build it again.” Proposed for the existing Sutcliffe Road site is an 18,000-squarefoot facility, with eight badminton courts (instead of three), along with a multi-purpose area, bleachers, a pro shop, locker rooms and shower facilities. Construction won’t begin until

Kyle Slavin/News staff

Ron Jordan, president of the Cordova Bay Community Club, stands in the gymnasium of the 67-yearold building. A number of deficiencies with the building – primarily used for badminton these days – has led the club to decide to replace it with a new, larger facility, with eight badminton courts. development and rezoning applications are approved by Saanich, which could still take months, and Jordan says it could take upwards of three years before the replacement building is complete. As was done in 1946, CBCC plans to take advantage of as much volunteer labour as possible to keep costs down. “We have, within our badminton community, people who are in the construction industry. With them as supervisors, we hope we will be

able to use people who aren’t professionals to build the building,” Jordan said. “But we’re looking at putting up the shell (of the building) for $600,000, and another $300,000 to $500,000 to finish it.” Ideally, CBCC hopes to acquire a $500,000 interest-free loan from the municipality, and then finance the rest through private mortgages. Before Commonwealth Place and Gordon Head rec centres were built, CBCC was well-used by com-

munity groups of all sorts. But the last few decades have turned the Community Club into a little-known facility, frequented by a smaller, but diehard group of badminton players. “If we didn’t have badminton and the use of badminton, the building would be in total disrepair,” Jordan said.

Diving coach charged with sex crimes against student Kyle Slavin News staff

A former Saanich diving coach was arrested in Edmonton and has been charged with two counts sexual exploitation, after a Greater Victoria teenager came forward claiming he was victimized by his former coach. The Edmonton police arrested 43-year-old Trevor Palmatier last Wednesday (May 8) on outstanding warrants from Saanich police. “We received information back in March of this year relating to

historical sexual related allegations involving Mr. Palmatier, who was a dive coach,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “So far we’ve have two complainants who’ve come forward, both of whom are previous athletes of his.” Palmatier faces two counts of sexual exploitation and one count of procuring. The charges are based on statements from one teenage complainant, from alleged incidents between June 30, 2004, and June 28, 2006, while Palmatier worked

at Boardworks Diving, based out of Saanich Commonwealth Place. According to the Edmonton police, detectives believe Palmatier“ developed close personal relationships with his athletes while in his position as a diving coach.” “He may have provided gifts or some sort of benefit to the youth involved to provide him with a sexual service,” Eassie said. Palmatier appeared in Victoria court on Friday and was released on a $5,000 recognizance and strict conditions on not being in the same locations or accompany-

ing people under the age of 18. His next court appearance is May 29. According to Palmatier’s biography on the Edmonton Diving Academy website, he began Boardworks Diving in Saanich in 1996. He left coaching there in 2007. Palmatier was named Coach of the Year by Sport B.C. in 2006. A statement from Diving Canada COO Penny Joyce released reads: “Clearly, this is very unsettling news for the diving community and we understand that many members will be very upset. The

charges, which have yet to be proven in court, remind us of the paramount importance of ensuring the well-being of our athletes. Nothing is more important and we take very seriously the responsibility of their safety and protection while in our care.” Joyce confirmed Palmatier was suspended from diving-related activities in March. Anyone with information regarding these allegations is encouraged to speak with police investigators by calling 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Tsartlip First Nation carver Charles Elliott works on a cedar podium for UVic’s Congress 2013 at his Central Saanich workshop.

Carving to mark UVic’s Congress Devon MacKenzie News staff

A First Nations artist is busy creating yet another unique carving for the University of Victoria. Master carver Charles Elliott from the Tsartlip First Nation is currently working 12 and 14-hour days preparing a piece of hollowed cedar that will stand as a podium for the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences being hosted by the University of Victoria from June 1 to 8. The podium piece features images of the creator, herons and hopefully ravens, Elliott said. “I’m really hoping I can work in a couple of ravens on this piece because in our culture, the raven is the messenger. It would be symbolic

on the podium because as someone stands at a podium they are delivering a message.” The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, known as Congress, is in its 82nd year and is Canada’s largest gathering of scholars across disciplines, and attracts more than 6,000 participants every year. UVic last hosted Congress in 1990, when Elliott carved a totem pole for the event. “I also carved the entrance poles to First People’s house on campus as well, so I have a few pieces at the university,” he said. Elliott’s podium will be unveiled June 3 at the university during the First Peoples celebration and dedication ceremony. See uviccongress2013.ca.

Broadmead renos eyed for fall finish Edward Hill News staff

The installation of a stop sign doesn’t often draw civic leaders, but Broadmead Village put Saanich’s mayor to work last Thursday as it marked a major milestone in the renovation of the shopping centre. Mayor Frank Leonard helped install and bolt in the stop sign at the Chatterton Way entrance to Broadmead Village, officially transforming the road from a one-way exit to two-way traffic access. The roadwork is part of a $6-million renovation that is modernizing building facades across more than 45 retail units, adding floorspace and giving a facelift to the centrepiece pedestrian breezeway. The Chatterton Way entrance, at least once patrons realize it’s there, should help ease traffic jams at the awkward Royal Oak Drive entrance and its accompanying four-way-stop. “When you come in (off Royal Oak Drive) it is congestion galore. Now people can enter and exit (through Chatterton Way). It’s great, easy access and solves some congestion problems,” said Jim Griffith, past president of the Broadmead Area Residents Association, the organization which first suggested the change to the owners of Broadmead Village. “This is a suggestion we made and they completed it. It’s just great they got the community involved.” Shops at Broadmead remain open for business,

but much of the plaza is a construction zone as crews install new facades and sidewalks. Alison Miles Cork, the senior asset manager for Grosvenor Americas, owner of Broadmead Village, expects the pedestrian breezeway to open by July and the entire renovation to be completed by the fall. “It’s never fun doing renos, but we’re starting to see what we’ll get in the end,” Miles Cork said. In an era of renovations at shopping hubs like Hillside Centre, the creation of Uptown and additions at Westshore Town Centre, Broadmead needed to update its weathered 20-year-old look to attract and retain quality retailers. The renovations will allow a few existing tenants to expand floorspace, Miles Cork said, and has attracted new tenants, making Broadmead a mix of national retailers and independent businesses. “We might have two small vacancies (after renovations). It is all forward-leased,” she said. “If its not 100 per cent (leased) it’ll be 98 per cent.” The next major milestone will be finishing the breezeway component, which will provide plenty of outdoor seating, and is what the developer coins a “community hub.” “This (renovation) isn’t just for retailers. It’s for the community, it’s for the community to gather, it’s a hub and a centre,” Miles Cork said. “It’s a gathering point where you can meet neighbours and friends.”

Don’t pass the sewage buck T

he regional sewage treatment project has no shortage of critics. Citizen opposition groups in Greater Victoria decry that the venture is a colossal waste of money, and residents and politicians in Esquimalt don’t want treatment plants in their backyard. Trying to shoehorn a large piece of sewage treatment infrastructure into an urban area is guaranteed to anger and disrupt the lives of some residents and businesses, which is rightly a concern of Esquimalt council. But the latest desperate offering by Esquimalt’s mayor to have the Capital Regional District consider relocating the entire project to rural farmland in Saanich is woefully selfserving and would only accomplish passing the buck to a different municipality. The landowner has a right to offer the land for sale and the CRD board can give it a look, but to push this as a viable location for sewage and sludge treatment plants gives only false hope to those Esquimalt residents potentially impacted by the project. It also comes years after painstaking and costly studies were undertaken to decide on where to locate sewage treatment infrastructure. The CRD rejected the proposal – the Burnside Road West location is provincially protected agricultural land reserve and the move would add some $200 million to an already expensive $783 million project. On the upside, the property offered is 16 hectares and would allow a single location for regional sewage treatment, and is far from homes. But the considerable downside is pumping sewage from the Macaulay and Clover Point outfalls about 13 kilometres across the city for treatment on the farmland, and then back to an outfall. That’s almost as bad as the proposal to pump (or truck) biosolids 18 kilometres to Hartland landfill for energy extraction. Building a treatment plant at an industrial site at McLoughlin Point and potentially at the warehouse complex on Viewfield Road, in the middle of residential Esquimalt, is probably the best of a hard situation, given the geography of Greater Victoria and available land in the city.

at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing.” What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Big risks inherent in pipeline expansion Re: Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion Given the risks to B.C. and the planet from developing the tar sands and moving diluted bitumen, and given that any review of the Kinder Morgan proposal would identify such risks, opposition to the proposal, early on, seems reasonable. Besides, the choice is not between fossil fuels and nothing. Elizabeth Kaller Saanich

Many reasons to avoid sewage treatment Re: Enough reasons exist not to build sewage plant (Letters, April 26) In his letter Ted Dew-Jones listed seven reasons that discredit the idea that Victoria needs a landbased sewage treatment plant. I not only agree with him wholeheartedly but I think he could have added a few more things that should negate the whole bizarre idea of this project. Some additional things that everyone doesn’t even think about are: •Are we going to build a billion dollar sewage treatment system to treat all the things that are currently going down our sewer pipe? Not water or water soluble items. •The proposed sewage treatment plant will only eliminate solid waste. All liquid waste and water soluble products will continue to be pumped directly into the ocean. Many of the items that we think should be excluded from going into the ocean will in fact still go there. All of the water and water soluble products will continue to be sent directly to the ocean as it is now. •A vast portion of the solid waste that they are planning to remove from our sewers is in fact edible green garbage which we put into our garburator systems and is perfectly edible for the sea life. How much of the “solid waste” would not have to be treated if all municipalities instigated a green waste collection program? Do we have to spend over a billion dollars to do this? • New programs should be set up to help us to return the “sewage system” back to what it was originally intended to be used for. • Programs should be set up to explain to us how to eliminate some of these things that many of us put into our sewers. • Unused pills and medical items should be easier to return to any pharmacy, not just the one where you bought them. • Just because latex paint is water soluble doesn’t mean you should wash your paint tools into the sewage system. • If the label has come off the paint container it’s not accept it at the recycle depots. Should we have to put everything in one can with a label or throw it into our garbage? • Who needs pink toilet paper? Don’t use bleached or coloured paper. Use unbleached paper, it does the same job and is cheaper to

manufacture. It keeps it out of our sewers. Johannes Karpes Victoria

Bus lanes wouldn’t cut down travel time Re: Bus only lanes on Douglas Street Four minutes. This being the time advantage gained for the proposed expenditure of $600,000 to designate two lanes on Douglas Street as bus-only during rush hour. This is so slight as to be meaningless, particularly when considered against expense. Vancouver adopted a similar designated bus-only lane program in 2007 at an expense of $207,000, despite an earlier study (2004) warning that this was unlikely to produce relevant results. As predicted, the passengers didn’t reach their destination any faster after the money was spent. Officials said most cars using the curb lane were turning anyway, so only caused minor delays. Perhaps it’s time to consider a larger view. Rather than continuing to take away traffic lanes on major roads in order to construct gardens why not consider that Greater Victoria will benefit from having proper traffic corridors that can accommodate the volume of traffic? Traffic that is moving wastes far less fuel, and greatly reduces emissions. With traffic flowing properly on major routes there will be less inclination for motorists to seek shortcuts through residential neighbourhoods, with obvious benefits. With traffic flowing properly, buses will make good time without resorting to the unnecessary expense of infrastructure changes. The counter argument will run that building new roads is contrary to the green ethic. I agree absolutely. But by the same measure taking away existing routes causes longer delays with predictable consequences. Stuart Eastwood Colwood

Status quo on deer problem intolerable I recently saw another deer injured and either maimed for the rest of its life or condemned to a slow lingering death. When will our elected local government exercise its responsibility and deal with the issue of too many urban deer? Their response has turned out to be no response at all. The decision to turn the matter over to a committee was a pure abdication of responsibility because a small but very vocal minority run the issue. As a result, the problem is still with us and growing worse. I like to see the occasional deer, but there is simply too many in an urban setting. I for one am unhappy. The status quo is being ignored by the deer and as a result more and more of these encounters will occur with the

poor deer almost always being the loser. Ed Walker Oak Bay

Homeowners can coexist with urban deer Re: Local governments let deer run rampant (Letters, May 8) Enough is enough. We are appalled at some Oak Bay residents’ refusal to consider a simple and sensible solution to their problem: If you don’t want to share the land with us, you move to your downtown core. We deer were here first and you are encroach-

ing more and more on forested areas. You chose to move here. Many of your neighbors find ways to coexist and share the land peacefully with us. Live and let live or just go away.

The sights and sounds of Mexican tradition are coming to Victoria for the fifth annual Mariachi Festival on May 17 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall. Up to 36 performers from Mexico, Texas and Vancouver will showcase the centuries-old traditional Mexican music, with a sneak peek performance at the Inner Harbour on Friday morning. “It’s a very unique family festival, very rich in music and history, and it brings a little bit of education about what we have in Mexico,” said director/producer Alex Alegria, who heads his own mariachi band, Los Dorados (the Golden Boys) in Vancouver. Professional mariachi group Cocula promise to get the audience moving

when they take the stage dressed as charros (otherwise known as “Mexican cowboys”) complete with sombreros, flashy belts and colourful suits. Cocula hails from what is believed to be the birthplace of mariachi in Jalisco, Mexico. While its origins date back to the 16th century, the modern mariachi of trumpets, strings and guitar only developed in the late 1920s, Alegria said. “Back in the day, we didn’t have trumpets, instead there were drums and a little flute, the chimirilla. That instrument is almost like a flute but with a much different sound,” he said. Texas-based Los Arrieros is also adding their worldclass musical expertise to the festival in Victoria, as well as stops in Vancouver and Nanaimo.

Uno hits 300

Colour inspirations

After 17 years, Victoria’s Uno Fest is now North America’s longest-running festival of solo performance. Following last year’s successful festival, which featured Hawksley Workman’s The God That Comes, this year marks the 300th show at Uno Fest. The 10-day curated festival features some of the best solo performers from across North America, including Fringe favorites Jayson McDonald, Tara Travis and John Grady, alongside national successes Itai Erdal’s How to Disappear Completely, Evalyn Parry’s Spin, Cliff Cardinal’s Huff, Johanna Nutter’s My Pregnant Brother and Brian Fidler’s Broken. The festival is also presenting the entertaining, raunchy and always controversial (and former Uno Fest performer) Mike Daisey in his return to Victoria with American Utopias at the Metro Studio May 16 and 17 as a special pre-Uno Fest event. In American Utopias Daisey explores how we create public spaces where we act out our dreams of a better world. Uno Fest runs May 22 to June 2 at Metro Studio and Intrepid Theatre Club.

Simple steps to choosing the right summer camp for your child Jennifer Blyth What would your child’s ideal summer camp experience look like? Whether you’re looking for a day camp to engage and entertain the kids during the week or an away camp at one of Vancouver Island’s lake-front getaways, families have many options to choose from. While many families look forward to a little unstructured downtime away from school, summer camp also offers many opportunities – it enables children to stay engaged when there may be limited interaction with school friends, it allows them to explore new activities and adventusre, and it provides parents a safe solution while they’re at work.

For older children, camps can offer time to improve skills in sports, music, drama or other activities they don’t have as much time for during the busy school year. While some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp, others may need a little coaxing, but either way, it’s a good idea to engage children in the search for the right summer camp for them. Consider, for example: • What is your budget? • Are you looking for a half-day camp, full-day or an overnight camp? • What size camp would your child be comfortable with? • Should the camp be coed or single sex? • Do you need your child to stay local or are they able to travel?

• What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? How do you find a few quality summer camp options to choose from? The camps and activities featured right here are a good place to start. Recreation centres, schools and community organizations also have a wide range of activities planned, from music and art to sports and outdoor adventure. Friends and family are another terrific resource – ask for recommendations about camps their children enjoyed. Once you identify a few options, unless they’re camps you’re familiar with, take the time to ask a few questions to ensure a good fit for your child and family. Questions to consider – and ask about if you’re

Regardless of whether your camper will be away for three hours or three weeks, a few basics will go a long way to ensuring a positive camp experience. For day camps, be sure to send a nutritious lunch and snacks to keep them fuelled for the day’s adventures and plenty of water to keep them hydrated. High SPF sunscreen and a hat are essential – a sunburn is not only dangerous but can also prevent kids from enjoying the activities they want to do. Don’t forget to show kids how to apply the sunscreen properly – easy face sticks and sprays can make it easier. For overnight camps, check for policies on things like food and personal electronics; it may be a good idea to leave these at home. Do a double-check for swimsuits and footwear, and be sure to bring enough clothing to accommodate weather changes. Finally, remember a positive attitude and a bright smile – the most important ingredients for summer fun!

James Bay make it 24 James Bay win 24th B.C. rugby title; Velox lose to Burnaby Travis Paterson News staff

The veteran forward pack of the James Bay Athletic Association commanded its way to an 18-10 victory over Burnaby Lake in the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League Rounsefell Cup Final on Saturday, one of three provincial rugby finals at UVic’s Wallace Field. “We knew our forward pack would need to match their’s, at least,” said James Bay captain Spencer Dalziel. The Bays rarely gave up the ball and took their time grinding the game down. Peter Gillespie scored JBAA’s first try to make it 5-5 at the half. Oak Bay High grad Sean White scored a penalty goal to start the second half. Mitch Bancroft and Jim de Goede scored two more tries off an impressive series of rucks by the JBAA forwards for an 18-5 lead. “They outplayed us,” said Burnaby Lake captain Mike Gough. It’s the 24th provincial title for the Bays, which also won the Island championship last month.

Velox slip in Harris Cup final Burnaby Lake rode a dominant first half to edge the Velox Valkyries 17-13 for the Gordon Harris Memorial Cup, emblematic of the 2013 B.C. Rugby Adidas Women’s Premiership championship. Burnaby roared to a 14-3 lead in the first half

with Velox’s Monique Boag knotting the only score on a penalty goal. The second half saw a reverse in momentum with Velox winning the rucks they weren't winning in the first half. It led to two tries, one from captain Brittany Sims and the other fullback Selina McGinnis, 14-13. But Burnaby managed to find just enough in the late going to hold on, with Julia Sugawara converting a penalty goal.

High school rivals joined on UVic The UVic Norsemen defeated Burnaby Lake Rugby 35-15 in the second of the day's trilogy of championships, the men’s First Division Ceili’s Cup final. Late tries by Luke McCluskey and Kapi Vataiki sealed it for UVic, which stayed true to the Div. 1 theme and trotted out first-year rookies. Granted, some of those rookies are very much on the radar of the national team program. The scored finished 15-10 at half for Burnaby. UVic kept in it thanks to the fine kicking of local product Fergus Hall, a Glenlyon Norfolk School grad. Centre Dustin Dobravsky and winger Keenan Horton scored second-half tries for UVic, while Hall kicked 15 points. The win was a club effort, said UVic flanker Jeff Nishima-Miller, a recent grad of St. Michaels University School in Saanich and former rival of Hall's in school play. “We had so many injuries all year,” he said.

“We made a lot of changes in the second half, we were checking out some of the players and we had two youth players playing at the end there,” said coach Dave Dew.

The Peninsula Coop Highlanders defeated the Kamloops Heat 4-1 at Tyndall Park on Sunday afternoon, the Highlanders’ debut return to the Pacific Coast Soccer League.

Gorge’s next premier team burned in finals Travis Paterson News staff

Gorge FC’s soon-to-be premier women’s team came within a goal of winning the provincial soccer Leeta Sokalski Cup B Cup title on Saturday only to fall 2-1 to the Burnaby Selects. It was one of six provincial soccer finals held at Westhills and Goudy fields in Langford. The only other local squad representing was also a Gorge FC women’s team, which fell 3-0 in the Women’s Classics to the Coastal FC Supra. It was the B Cup that Gorge nearly won, however. Tied 1-1 and about 15 minutes into the second half, the B Cup final looked to turn in Gorge’s favour when Burnaby took a red card and went down to 10 players. But before Gorge could take advantage, Burnaby struck on a miscue to take a 2-1 lead. From there on it was all Gorge.

Motorcycle cops host conference

LUXTON PRO RODEO MAY 18, 19, 20, 2013

Daniel Palmer News staff

Nearly 100 police officers from across the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Texas rumble into Western Speedway next week for the North American Motor Officers Association’s annual conference. For the first time on Vancouver Island, the Victoria Police Department is hosting the Langford event starting May 15, will see officers participate in riding proficiency clinics, use-of-force and firearms seminars, then wind up the four-day conference May 18 with a ride through West Shore communities. The event is open for public viewing from the Speedway bleachers during many of the events, he added. Units outfitted with Harley Davidson, Victory and BMW motorcycles will compete in separate categories in proficiency events. “We do tears, where two guys on Harleys have a string between them and they have to do the entire course

Victoria police officers Sgt. Glen Shiels, Const. Steve Twardy and Const. Ken Fetherstonwill be part of the North American Motor Officers Association’s annual conference, hosted by VicPD at Western Speedway. Don Denton/News staff

without breaking the string,” said VicPD Const. Steve Twardy. “It’s pretty amazing to watch the skill of some of these guys … but I’m sure there will probably be a few crashes.” On the Saturday afternoon, officers

will partake in a memorial ride honouring fallen officers through Langford, Colwood and Metchosin. Visit namoa.org or find the complete itinerary at bit.ly/15BLjZm. dpalmer@vicnews.com
