Oak Bay resident Marya Nijland raised more than $1,000 at last year’s Garagellennium to go toward resettling a refugee Palestinian family in Canada. She has many tips on how to hold a successful garage sale. Kyle Wells/News staff

Want to turn your trash into cash? Marya Nijland shares her secret for garage sale success Kyle Wells News staff

Oak Bay resident Marya Nijland used last year’s Garagellennium event to raise money to help relocate a refugee Palestinian family to Canada. Her garage sale raised more than $1,000.

“I saw it in the paper, Garagellennium, and I thought that sounds like a good idea,” Nijland said. “It was a big success. You wouldn’t believe it.” The family had been living in a refugee camp in al-Hol, Syria for six years. A group of church members in Oak Bay came together to raise the needed funds, and Nijland, as she often does, had been helping out with the effort. With donated items from other people involved in the fundraising and a team of volunteers ready to help with

the sale, Nijland raised the money in one day, selling everything from books to records to art to household items. The money from the garage sale was combined with money from multiple other fundraisers, including Middle Eastern dinner nights, to make up the thousands of dollars needed to give the family a fresh start in Canada. Nijland is reluctant to reveal details about the family, but said they have been relocated and are doing well. Registration for the 14th annual Garagellennium, which takes place June

UVic preps for flood of academics University hosts Congress, Canada’s largest academic conference Kyle Slavin Edward Hill News staff

rganizing a major conference is no easy feat – just ask Jim Dunsdon. For nearly four years he’s been working as vice-chair of Congress 2013, an eight-day event at the University of Victoria that will draw some 6,600 humanities and social sciences professors and researchers from across Canada. Dunsdon’s job is to plan and co-ordinate the logistics side of Congress, ensuring everything from booking and prepping the 225 rooms on campus with audio-video equipment to organizing transportation for delegates to get back and forth from the airport, ferry, hotels and UVic, from June 1 to 8. “It’s been a lot of work; it’s been challenging, but it’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “Once we established a bit of context – we’re going to have 10,000 people on campus, but we usually have 20,000 people on campus September to May – it helped make it easier to plan.” It’s not quite the same as student intake though. Take, for example, the monumental food and beverage task that lays ahead. Some 25,000 cups of coffee need be made and poured over

the course of the conference. Catering will go through 630 litres of coffee cream, 543 kilograms of cheese, 386 kg of sandwich meat and 5,200 portions of yogurt as part of 757 separate catering orders to keep delegates fed. “The food services team needs to get 6,000 cups of coffee to 225 rooms across 22 buildings at 7:30 in the morning and keep it hot,” said Suzanne Dane, Congress project manager for UVic. “It’s not an easy undertaking.” To prepare, last year the university revamped its entire catering program. “We have brand new menus, a brand new pricing strategy, better ingredients. It all combined to really raise the level of service and quality on campus,” Dunsdon said. “And we did that with one eye on the fact that we knew it was going to be a significant test for our campus. We had to make a big jump to make sure we could meet the expectations of (Congress) attendees.” This is the first time since 1990 that UVic has hosted Congress for a week of 1,800 meetings and symposiums at UVic. But alongside the scholarship, the university is working to draw the Greater Victoria community to the campus through a big party with daily concerts, food booths, a beer garden and “Big Thinking” speakers. “We are bringing the community to campus and recreating the Inner Harbour experience using petty cabs, flower carriages and a lot of local performers,” Dane said.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

University of Victoria executive staff members and lead Congress 2013 organizers Jim Dunsdon and Suzanne Dane sit in one of the many golf carts that will be used to transport thousands of delegates arriving this week for Congress 2013, the largest academic gathering in Canada. “We want to make people aware of what Congress has to offer and it isn’t necessarily just an academic event.” The Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences awarded UVic the 2013 Congress in 2008 through a competitive process. It took UVic a year just to complete the bid package. “The federation was extremely impressed with the community support. The chamber (of commerce), mayors, Tourism Victoria showed that strongly support Congress and are eager to be involved,” Dane said.

UVic is aiming to make Congress a zero waste event. Attendees will receive reusable plastic water bottles, all plates and cutlery will be compostable and 35 stations will be set up around campus for food waste. “The UVic community wants to do a wonderful job hosting this event and make it very special for the delegates and the local community. We want everything to go smoothly,” Dunsdon said. “We’ve been doing a lot of work to get to this point, but it’s kind of only just begun.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Congress expected to help tourism bottom line Edward Hill News staff

The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences – known as Congress – should give Victoria’s anemic tourism industry a healthy shot in the arm for 2013. The University of Victoria’s 1,700 residences are fully booked and the conference’s 15 partner hotels downtown have sold 5,820 room nights so far. Suzanne Dane, Congress project manager for UVic, said based on Tourism Victoria estimates on spending habits for visi-

tors, Congress should generate $9 million to $12 million for the local economy. Unlike university students who flood the city each September, Congress delegates “have the income to spend on food and they’ll actually eat three meals a day,” Dane said. “A large number come with their families and stay pre- and post-Congress.” Dallas Gislason, economic development officer for the Greater Victoria Development Agency, said Victoria needs to highlight its assets to visiting academics and their families to reap long-term rewards. “For me this is an exciting opportunity

P la c e s to E n jo y !

for the community to go far beyond tourism,” Gislason said. “We can look at the impact of 9,000 guests, some 7,000 delegates with taxis, hotels and meals ... but that is the tip of the iceberg.” The Congress itself is made up of more than 70 individual academic associations, which creates an opportunity to entice each association to return to Victoria for individual annual conferences, he said. It’s also an chance to show visiting academics a city where they might like to teach, retire or live during a sabbatical. “We’ve got 7,000 highly educated people

coming to the community,” Gislason said. “The opportunity is to show off a region that is livable with educated, engaged citizens.” While UVic is trying to draw the public to events on campus during Congress, it is setting up incentives for delegates to check out restaurants, businesses and tourism highlights. “Delegates will be given discount tickets for destinations like the Royal B.C. Museum and Butchart Gardens,” Dane said. “We want people to experience Victoria.” editor@saanichnews.com

Cycling advocate remembered with special ‘spin’ room at YMCA Bert Buchanan left money to fitness facility in his will Don Descoteau News staff

To say cycling was a passion for Bert Buchanan would be an understatement. Nearly right up to his death at 91 in the fall of 2011, he rode regularly from home to the Victoria YM-YWCA, where he would climb on a stationary bike for an even more strenuous workout. Herbert Ewart Buchanan was instrumental in getting cycling into people’s consciousness in the 1950s after arriving in the city, through initiating riding groups and organizing cycling

trips. In his later years he cycled competitively in the B.C. Seniors Games, winning medals frequently. “He was one of those guys who was just here all the time,” recalls the Y’s general manager, Mark Dodd, a longtime employee. “Even in his late 80s, he would ride his bike here, then take a spin class, have a coffee with the guys and ride his bike home.” Given the amount of time he spent in the Broughton Street facility and the contributions he made over the years, the board of the YM-YWCA wanted to honour him somehow at the gym. A perfect opportunity to do so came after it was learned that Buchanan had left a sum of money to the Y in his will. Nearing 10 years old and at the end of their useful life, the club’s stationary bikes needed replacement,

Dodd said. Not only were 21 new bikes purchased at a cost of around $2,000 each, he says, the room itself was renovated, with proper air conditioning and a new sound system installed. “It’s obviously wonderful when we get a bequest like this, especially from somebody like Bert, who was so involved with the Y for such a long period of time,” says YM-YWCA CEO Jennie Edgecombe. The bequest was not designated, she says, but the Y wanted to recognize Buchanan and the spin room refurbishment seemed the perfect opportunity to put the money to good use. A ceremony to unveil the new stationary bikes and spin class room was held in late April. The Y has installed a plaque in memory of Buchanan, and renamed the space Bert’s Bike Room. They invite the public to come down and check it out and perhaps go for a spin. editor@vicnews.com

B.C. will elect senators No gas guzzlers if body isn’t scrapped for this car club Tom Fletcher Black Press

“I think that if we could, under the constitution, we should abolish the senate.”

The B.C. government will go ahead with its plan for Alberta-style senate elections if it proves impossible to scrap the senate altogether, Premier Christy Clark said this week. Clark issued a statement in response to the controversy over senate expense claims that has gripped Ottawa. On record as preferring the senate be scrapped, Clark declined to comment on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s statement to a Montreal newspaper that the senate should be preserved because Quebec has 24 senators and Alberta and B.C. have only six each. “It’s true British Columbians have long been troubled by an unelected senate, but it should be fixed or folded and not a distraction,” Clark said.

– Christy Clark B.C. Premier

“The Prime Minister invited us to move the process of senate reform forward. To that end, we have moved legislation in the house before the election that would make a senate election possible. It has not been passed and it will not be re-introduced until there is clarity from the Supreme Court.” Clark added: “We need to remember the fact that B.C. and the West is dramatically underrepresented in the unelected senate.” The federal government has asked the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on whether it can abolish the senate, or impose term limits and a provincial election requirement on new sena-

tors appointed. When former B.C. Liberal MLA John Les tabled senate election legislation in 2011, Clark made her preference clear. “I think that if we could, under the constitution, we should abolish the senate,” Clark said at the time, adding that electing senators would be the next best thing. Prime Minister Stephen Harper returned to the House of Commons Tuesday to face opposition questions on the conduct of Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, whose expense claims have come under scrutiny. Both have left the Conservative caucus to sit as independents, along with former Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Mac Harb, whose expenses are also subject to an audit. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

There are car clubs for vintage cars and muscle cars, and almost every style of vehicle that rolled off the assembly line. And its no different for cars that don’t guzzle gas. An enthusiastic hybrid vehicle owner from Saanich is launching a “Prius and Tesla Club” for Victoria. Heinz Nussbaumer, who bought a Prius hybrid car last September, and is trying unite hybrid and electric vehicle drivers together to trade advice and information on what are still evolving technologies. Nussbaumer said he’s primarily focusing on Prius and Telsa drivers, since Prius was the first mainstream hybrid, but is open to

anyone with any model hybrid or electric vehicle. “I’m interested in meeting other hybrid owners. I think we’d have a lot in common,” said Nussbaumer, who lives in Gordon Head. Having Tesla owners show up is more aspirational than realistic – Nussbaumer said Victoria might have one or two Tesla vehicles, and the closest place to buy one is Seattle. “This is my wife’s car,” he said, referring to the Prius. “My goal is to drive a Tesla.” Check out meetup.com/PriusTesla-Club-Victoria or meet at My Chosin Cafe on Sunday at 11 a.m., 4492 Happy Valley Rd, in Metchosin. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Elect senate or abolish it

In the minds of many Canadians, the purpose of the Canadian Senate is a bit of a mystery. It’s a body that’s not elected, what it accomplishes is less than clear, and news about it only erupts when politicians talk about reform, or more recently, when senators play fast and loose with the purse strings of taxpayers. The original purpose of the Senate was to give a sober second thought to bills passed by elected Members of Parliament, and, according to its website, to bolster underrepresented groups, such as women, aboriginal people and minorities. When it comes to being a champion of aboriginal, women’s or minority rights, the Senate is perhaps the last organization that leaps to mind. As well intentioned as the Senate was when created in 1867, today the body is effectively a patronage system for the ruling party to reward loyal and often high-profile Canadians with prestigious well-paid jobs. A more cynical interpretation is the Senate acts as no more than a slush fund to carry out political favours. This week B.C. Premier Christy Clark reiterated her stance that the Senate should be abolished. She said if that’s not possible, B.C. will start electing its senators in an attempt to bring some validity to the body which cost Canadians $106 million in 2012 (minus the $90,000 paid back by senator Mike Duffy). Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long advocated reforming Senate terms and appointment procedures, or even doing away with it altogether. That hasn’t stopped Harper from appointing 56 Conservative senators (and two elected in Alberta) over his time in office. If Parliament can’t abolish the Senate or it accepts that it has a reason to exist, change is desperately needed. The number of senators per province isn’t based on population and it’s not supposed to be, but the current distribution is all over the map. Does it make sense that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have 10 senators each and Quebec has 24, while Alberta has six and B.C. has five? For the Senate to have credibility, rather than act as a vehicle for patronage and self-serving party loyalty, each province should have an equal number of elected senators, perhaps two or four each. Senators themselves should not be sitting silent, and should be seeking to reform an institution that has no accountability or credibility in terms of working in the interests of Canadians.

includes Saanich. The criminal element of these groups ply their trade on the streets of our downtown core and often retire to the bedroom communities, where not enough attention is paid to them. After 34 years I could fill a police notebook with instances where outlying agencies have either declined outright or simply don’t have the true capacity to deal with serious criminal elements living in their communities, leaving it to VicPD to handle or simply allow the problem to be ignored. The model of regional integration currently being discussed won’t help either. It doesn’t go far enough to include core policing functions such as traffic, identification units, detectives or K9 and how we could use economy of scale to reduce all of our workloads. It unfortunately has remained at the level of things like the dive team, used by VicPD once in the last two years, and other ancillary functions which have virtually no meaningful impact on anyone’s policing services. It also creates a cumbersome process of management by consensus, where four or more people end up being in charge and no one is actually accountable for service delivery. So to respond to Mayor Leonard’s question: “Are you willing to pay for the cost of this community policing model?” My answer is: “I wish I could afford to, by freeing up the taxpayers and officers of Esquimalt and Victoria from having to subsidize your luxury.” John Ducker is deputy chief for administration with the Victoria Police Department.

‘I’m mystified why (Leonard) feels the need to keep taking shots at us.’

LETTERS ‘Greenest neighbourhood’ a fallacy Re: “A one-man green machine” (News, May 17) The first sentence claims “Gordon Head is the greenest neighbourhood in the country.” What a sad and astonishing statement. Oak Bay-Gordon Head may have elected a Green party candidate, but there is pathetically little evidence to demonstrate that the residents are “green” in any meaningful way. Just putting a blue box at the curb doesn’t cut it. I live in the riding and during the election had a close look at the houses that put up Green party signs. One would expect these residences to stand out as examples of environmentally friendly living. Not so. I have no way of knowing whether Green party voters grow all the food they eat, weave all their own clothes and make their own shoes. But when it comes to transport, I can verify they get around just the same as everyone else. Many homes I checked had multiple vehicles in the driveway and more

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Green party MLA-elect for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, Andrew Weaver, celebrates with party leader Jane Sterk after he was elected May 14. than half had an SUV, the most inefficient and polluting class of passenger vehicles. I saw more pickup trucks than hybrids and not one electric car. It is easy to observe that Green voters behave just like the rest of the population, in which commuters overwhelmingly choose private cars over the bus and only a handful bike to work. One expects Green party supporters to be avid users of solar power, but I saw only one

or two solar hot-water panels and no solar-electric arrays on any of the houses. Even if they heed Capital Regional District watering restrictions, Green party voters should be keen water conservationists. I saw no evidence of rainwater recovery systems. Planted roofs? Didn’t see one. The riding is characterized by aging, conventionally built, single-family homes on separate lots, normally kept tidy with highly polluting gas mowers and trimmers. If all this makes Gordon Head “the greenest neighbourhood” in Canada, our species is doomed for sure. The past 12 years and the recent election have shown that the B.C. Liberals care little about facts, scientific evidence or the truth. In the face of this and as the only MLA for his party, Andrew Weaver may find, ironically, that his speeches in the legislature achieve little more than an incremental rise in global warming. Don White Saanich

Readers respond: Viewfield biosolids plant option Details still missing from sewage coverage While I appreciate that the News continues to explore the sewage treatment issue, please reflect the complexity of the situation in your editorial. Give us the details about the painstaking and costly studies that were undertaken, because it is my understanding that that is exactly the problem, there were little or no studies and much money has been spent with minimal community involvement. And some of the studies that were done recommend a very different approach than the one the Capital Regional District is bullishly pursuing, i.e. smaller operations throughout the region and extraction of materials for re-use; the shaming headline that the Esquimalt/Vic West community is passing the sewage buck, while a catchy phrase is very misleading. Historically this area has more than done its share. It has been the site of industries that left a legacy of pollution that is only now being remedied. It is becoming a vibrant community with families proudly reclaiming the older houses and new and innovative housing and businesses, including Dockside Green, that unlike the CRD proposal, produces drinkable water from its more technologically advanced sewage treatment system. I am concerned that

the members of the CRD committee, now that they have spent so much money as well as risked their personal reputations by backing a flawed approach, will no longer be able to make an unbiased decision. Our region voted in 2007 not to have centralized sewage treatment. There is no hurry to do this. Let’s take the time to get it right. We are all in this together and we all live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Susan Webber Victoria

Other choices available for sewage plants The Viewfield Road site in Esquimalt is the wrong choice for a sludge plant, given its small size as well as close proximity to residences, schools, a grocery store and many other businesses. And no, I am not happy that my house is a mere 400 metres downwind from the site – more than 200 residences are within 600 metres. Perhaps the complete treatment facility could be built on the McLaughlin point site if only DND would release some adjacent land for sludge treatment. That is unlikely to happen, as the release of such lands by the federal government would likely be met by an instantaneous land claim from the relevant First Nations. So why doesn’t the Capital

Regional District expropriate a bigger, better site? Why not build these facilities on any golf club in the area, or the south part of Government House property in Victoria, or in Beacon Hill Park, or Uplands Park, or unused land at the University of Victoria, etc. That will not happen of course – the underlying criterion here appears to be ‘no effluent near the affluent.’ I’m sure that none of the councillors on the CRD sewage committee who are pressing for the Viewfield site live anywhere near it. Just whom are they serving? I hope Esquimalt council does all it can to block the Viewfield site. Roel Hurkens Victoria

Comforting flavours for everyone’s tastes These are not your traditional ice cream flavours: Peppered goat’s milk with nutmeg and candied orange, Mulberry and clove, Lemongrass coconut with Thai basil. But then Cold Comfort is not your Don Descoteau average ice cream Biz Beat company. Proprietor Autumn Maxwell, who operates out of a corner of the back room at Lone Tree Bakery at 809 Craigflower Rd., looks at ice cream as a form of expression and love for food. “Ice cream is a blank canvas and the flavours are the paint,” she says, after pouring a batch of dairy-free, salted caramel mixture into her commercial ice cream maker for freezing. Maxwell creates new flavours almost every week – many include more traditional ingredients such as chocolate and quite a few include alcohol. She is up to 229 varieties on her website (coldcomfort.ca), which lists the ingredients for each. “You never know what’s coming next,” she says. While she tries to

use primarily organic ingredients, “sometime you have to break the rules.” She creates concoctions that appeal to people of every dietary need, from lactose intolerant to nut allergies. For dairy-free combinations, she often uses coconut milk, which can be frozen into a consistency similar to milk- or cream-based ice cream. Having launched her wholesale business about two years ago, Maxwell sells to six local markets and a few restaurants. She also does a rousing business at the Moss Street Market. When Lone Tree owner Terry Worland opened her retail outlet on Craigflower in December, she asked Maxwell if she’d like some space. The juxtaposition with an organic bakery works well and even results in the occasional compilation of ingredients, Maxwell says. Having operated her wholesale business solo for the past two years, she plans to hire a new employee soon to help cover the summer busy season and give her more time to work on other activities. “Unlike other small ice-cream makers, I survive the winters on the uniqueness of the product,” she says. – Email at autumn@coldcomfort. ca.

Anney’s Closet is located at West Shore U-Lock, 1621 Island Hwy. Grand opening happens June 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Garagellennium helps many Continued from Page A1

“A lot of people do have sales and they give back to the community or various groups in some ways,” said Lamb. “I encourage people to give back.” From her experience last year, and at many other garage sales – “I could call myself the ‘garage lady,’” – Nijland has tips for others hoping to use their Garagellennium sale to raise money for a cause. To raise as much money as possible, ask others involved with the fundraising and anyone else you know, to donate items to sell. Many people are willing to drop off all kinds of items when it’s for a good cause. Organization is essential for making a garage sale open and inviting to customers. The easier the shopping for the customer, the more likely they are to buy something, Nijland said. So putting the books together with the spines easily visible is a good idea, as is spreading out tools for sale on a tarp. “You pile things in categories. Knick-knacks with knick-knacks,” Nijland said. “It’s important to sort things out.” Providing information about your cause also

helps customers know what their money will go toward – and perhaps entice them to spend a little more. Pamphlets or an informational poster are two ideas. If you have volunteers, make sure they are well fed, protected from sun and rain and have the chance to take a break about every two hours or so, Nijland said. Items that don’t sell can be donated or taken to second-hand stores, such as Value Village. The deadline to register for Garagellennium is June 3. Registration is free and includes a signage kit, to be picked up at Oak Bay Copy Centre (2917A Cadboro Bay Rd.). Register online at oakbaygaragesale.com. editor@oakbaynews.com

Victoria art gallery eyes expansion Board of directors decides to keep facility at its Moss Street location Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

A Victoria institution will root in its historic site on Moss Street, after three decades of seeking space downtown. “We’ve been looking 33 years for a place downtown,” said Jon Tupper, director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. “If it didn’t happen in the last 30 years, it’s not going to happen in the next 10 years.” Spencer Mansion was donated by Sarah Spencer in 1951.

It’s unique – we’re in a residential neighbourhood – it’s strange traffic isn’t a consideration, Tupper but strange in a positive way.’ said. “When people leave “If we had an extra 10,000 square and fundraises for the gallery. their door or their hotel room they feet we could stay here another 10 After a feasibility study, know exactly where they’re going,” architects said it would be unlikely years and maybe longer,” Tupper he said. “They will look you up and said. “It’s a beautiful location.

Tourists only make up 25 per cent of visitors to the gallery. “We’re here for our local community first and foremost that’s our primary audience,” Tupper said. Space for more functions and programs would also generate revenue, he added. Currently the gallery is 40 per cent government funded. “Right now we see government’s retreating more and more from being involved in culture … We have to fill that in,” Tupper said. “We have to be able to keep the doors open.” With the decision to stay, last fall the gallery issued a request for proposals seeking architects who could add the required space, while maintaining the look of the neighbourhood. “We’re not doing a good job of that,” Tupper said, citing the Moss Street side as an example. “It needs to be fixed up so it looks a little bit more like the neighbourhood … make it a real gem of a building … that’s in harmony with the place we’re situated.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Bentall celebrates 25 years News staff

Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts hit the stage next month at the Mary Winspear Centre. The show, presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment and 100.3 the Q!, features the Vancouver-based Bentall, who has been creating music since 1978. The band's debut album featured three songs, Something to Live For, House of Love (is Haunted) and Come Back to Me, that became instant hits and the six albums that followed were also

well-received. Their self-titled debut reached platinum status in Canada and garnered a Juno Award for Most Promising Group of the Year in 1989. In addition, the group was nominated for a Genie Award for Restless Dreamer in 1990. The Sidney show includes special guest Nicola Linde, a powerful singer, songwriter and musician. Her intense lyrics are delivered with big vocals. An artist with an edge, her perspective is definitely female. With a strong stance and assertive delivery, she has the energy and passion to stand

out from the crowd. With such songs as Cream For Your Coffee, This Time and The Other Woman, Linde reveals her thoughts on being a young woman today in a way that transcends gender. She gives forth on love gone wrong and jobs that didn’t go right, heartache, soul-searching and triumph with songs that are raw, confessional and emotional. For more information, go to barneybentall.com. For tickets to the show ($37.50) on Wednesday, June 5 at 7 p.m. call 250-656-0275 or go to.marywinspear.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

High school triathlon debuts at Shawnigan Saanich teens lead way at Shawnigan Lake Subaru Tri Series Travis Paterson News staff

Holly Henry’s experience at the inaugural Western High School Canadian Triathlon Championship was a chilly one. The 14-year-old student of Mount Douglas secondary was first out of the water after the 500-metre swim in the super sprint division, the newly added high school event at the Subaru Shawnigan Lake Triathlon on Sunday. Henry looked in control as she remained in first after the 10-kilometre bike too, before she lost function in her fingers, and couldn’t transition fast enough from the bike to the four-km run. “I had a really good swim and had a 45-second lead on the next girl after the bike but when I got to the (final) transition I couldn’t take my helmet off and put my shoes on because my fingers were frozen,” Henry said. “I had to ask an official to help me take off my helmet.” Because of the slow transition she dropped from first to fourth. Among those who passed her were little sister Hannah, 13, who attends Arbutus middle school. Hannah finished second and Holly fourth. “I was disappointed with the

Crits aren’t generally his favourite, but Sunday’s Bastion Grand Prix is as rider friendly as they get in North America, he said. “I raced in a crit that was 1.1 kilometres, with nine corners. It was pretty hairy, so I can’t complain about the Bastion Grand Prix, though it does have crash corner. You always have to be careful.” Crashes have happened in many parts of the Grand Prix but the corner of Yates and Wharf is particularly dangerous. It’s also a great viewing spot for the race.

Hurricane hosts world title bout OOOPS ! Travis Paterson News staff

Leigh Mueller is getting back in the ring Friday night, this time for a world title belt. The 31-year-old kickboxer and karate instructor at Canada’s Best Karate has been prize fighting for most of his adulthood, and this is his first time contesting for the World International Sport Kickboxing Association super welterweight title. Mueller faces Kalon Milne in the headliner of Friday night’s (May 31) Hurricane Fight League kickboxing event in the curling rink at Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt. The Hurricane Fight League is a local promotion with a handful of events to its name and with an

emphasis on kickboxing. “I’m expecting the fight of my life and expect it to be tough, but I’m ready and I’m excited,” Mueller said. Mueller has previously held the B.C. International Kickboxing Federation title and is a regular on the Victoria fight scene. His top kickboxing student, Suraj Bangarh, will also fight for a World ISKA belt, against Kayne Young from New Zealand in the super lightweight category. “(Bangarh’s) title fight is in the middle of the event, the seventh of 14 fights, so Bangarh and Mueller can be each other’s cornermen,” said event coorganizer Kieran Mueller, Leigh’s younger brother. “It works out well with a title fight at the midpoint of the eve-

August 1, 1942 - May 23, 2013 It is with broken hearts filled by sorrow that we say goodbye to our beloved Johnnie.

John leaves behind his beloved wife, Vlasta; his son Stafford (Tracy); his daughters Theresa and Cynthia and grandson Oscar; his sister Susan Lindsay and brother Glen Harper along with his nieces, nephew and their families. If you were fortunate enough to have known Johnnie then you will know that today the world has lost a special person not just for those who were close to him, having owned and operated the Esquire Barbershop for over 40 years, John was a trusted friend and confidant to many. Anyone lucky enough to have made his acquaintance will recognize that he was a man with a generous heart and his kindness was limitless. You will always be on our minds and forever in our hearts.

of the Integrated Road Safety Unit. The campaign, which includes TV and radio ads, urges crotch-texting drivers to “wise up, and eyes up,” and to put phones and tablets out of reach before driving.

IN BRIEF

CRD traffic commission focuses on crotches

Power to Be raises $101K at Elk Lake

The Capital Regional District is targeting drivers who continue to use phones while driving with a new eyebrow-raising public awareness campaign. ‘Crotches Kill’ is the brainchild of the CRD Traffic Safety Commission, targeting drivers who leave phones on their laps in an attempt to evade police officers. “Everyone who sees you looking at your crotch knows exactly what you’re doing, and it’s stupidly dangerous,” said Staff Sgt. Frank Wright, head

Power To Be Adventure Therapy Society raised $101,000 for its programs through a corporate adventure race last weekend at Elk/Beaver Lake. Thirty-one corporate teams participated in physical and mental challenges. The money will support nature-based programs for local youth and families living with disabilities. See powertobe.ca.
