Gearing up to make a community splash A volunteer cast of hundreds makes this huge annual – and free – event well-orchestrated It may sound like the obvious punchline to a bad joke, but when it comes to how many people it takes to put on the Victoria Symphony Splash, the answer is: a lot. To be more precise, it takes about 370 volunteers, dozens of hired hands and a few star project managers to stage a world-class musical event for roughly 40,000 participants in Victoria’s Inner Harbour every year. “The thing that amazes me is how much people Kyle Wells put into this,” said Reporting volunteer co-ordinator Ian Piears, who is working to fill about 430 shifts for this Sunday’s event, many of them 12 hours long. “We do have the diehard symphony fans that come along, but a lot more people are interested in volunteering than in the event,” he said, noting that even feeding his army of volunteers is a task that requires careful planning. “There’s a pride of being involved in the community of Victoria that I really like.” The logistical process begins Saturday, when an industrial barge pulled by tugboats is slotted into the Inner Harbour, where it will house the symphony, directed by Maestra Tania Miller. About a dozen private vessels are temporarily relocated to other marinas by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority for the remainder of the weekend. Across the harbour, pyrotechnic experts begin wiring up the visual finale of Splash, a fireworks display that is the culmination of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. After months of preparation, said

Day long weekend event is the culmination of months of preparation. production manager Janette Galan – she oversees everything from crowd control to food carts to street closures – the day of the show actually runs quite smoothly. She begins at 6 a.m. and shortly afterward, the first delivery of the day arrives: 44 portable toilets. “Nobody’s around at that time. It’s quite easy actually, before mayhem ensues,” she said. Speakers are erected and large electrical cables snake from the legislature’s giant sequoia tree to soundboards across the street, as well as under the water to the

dozens of microphone inputs and lighting atop the barge. “It’s one of those interesting logistical challenges,” Galan said. More road closures are put in place as hardcore fans begin to set up lawn chairs on the harbour causeways and legislature lawn. But be warned: organizers will keep careful watch to ensure no one sets up their chairs before 8 a.m. Sunday. At 2 p.m., full road closures come into effect and a ragtag army of food vendors set up shop on Government Street between the legislature and the Royal

B.C. Museum. The vendors must be selfcontained, meaning they supply their own electricity and running water. Generators won’t be permitted onsite as the classical music doesn’t do quite as effective a job at drowning out peripheral sounds as a rock concert, Galan said. At the end of the day, everything that has gone up must come down for the city to return to business as usual on the B.C. Day holiday Monday.

The design calls for 106 mostly bachelor units and commercial space at street level. As part of the approval process, council secured an agreement whereby the strata council cannot prohibit rentals. Fortin hopes the agreement will avoid vacant downtown residential units in the winter months, a problem encountered by many tourism-oriented cities. “That’s important for downtown and it’s important for the social sustainability to our communities,” he said. “What we don’t want is people buying (units) and then living there two months of the year.” reporter@vicnews.com

include the addition of two setback floors of residential dwellings – bringing it up to six – plus a central plaza and renovations to the building facade. “I think the majority of council felt it was an acceptable blend, recognizing that the heritage features of the building itself are not that expressive,” Mayor Dean Fortin said. Last Thursday’s public hearing drew comments from more than a dozen people. The hotel building has been home to a number of businesses since the Songhees Grill opened in 1911. It was formerly home to Monty’s Showroom Pub, a strip club which closed in January.

Renovations to the Victoria Plaza Hotel are going ahead, but the modern aspects of the plan are not sitting well with heritage advocates in the city. “We’re certainly disappointed in council’s action in accepting that design,” Hallmark Society president Ken Johnson said after Victoria city council voted six-to-three to rezone the site for the latest proposal, following a public hearing. “They could have come up with a far better solution to the developer’s problem.” Johnson said the height and design of the building won’t fit the historical ambiance of the neighbourhood. He worries a pattern is arising where council is more concerned with pushing projects ahead than they are with preserving the spirit of downtown Victoria. “They could have done a more modern design that incorporated some traditional elements, such as brickwork and a cornice and less glass,” Johnson said. “I sometimes feel staff have all become enamoured (with) developers.” Approved changes to the building at 603-607 Pandora Ave.

After a three-year search for funding, the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre has been awarded a $120,000 by The Vancouver Foundation. The money, along with a planned move to a larger home in Saanich, shared with the Victoria Women’s Transition House offices, will help the centre become more accessible to transgendered people. The grant money, allotted over three years, will be used to provide services for transgendered people, including hiring a parttime trans inclusion coordinator. “(The plan) came forward to us from members of the trans community who explained that they felt (lost) in the middle of services,” said Lenore Kennedy, the centre’s resource development manager. reporter@vicnews.com

Lighting a path to peace Ceremony honours those lost in U.S. atomic bomb attacks on Japan Kyle Wells News staff

A fleet of flickering, dancing lights drifting slowly across the calm waters of the Gorge have come to symbolize a quest for peace. “For me, Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been for peace,” said Megumi Saunders, the minister for children, youth, young adults and family at First Metropolitan Church. Lanterns are lit and cast out to sea as part of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Remembered Ceremony, taking place at Esquimalt Gorge Park on Tuesday, Aug 6. Saunders was raised in Nara, Japan. She visited Hiroshima in March with her son and two grandchildren. For the past six years, she has asked children from her church to read stories at the event that are drawn from interviews with children who survived the blasts, collected in a book titled Children of the Atomic Bomb. Saunders chooses stories featuring children the same age as those who will read them, to help foster connection. “(The children) survived but their dad died, the next day their mom died, their sister died, their brother died, grandparents miss-

Megumi Saunders, left, and Linda Taffs will be among those casting out lanterns onto the Gorge Aug. 6 as part of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Remembered ceremony. ing,” she said. “So the people remember what happened to children, and their memories, why we have to keep peace.” This year marks the 68th anniversary of the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombing contributed to the end of the Second World War, but devastated the cities and caused the deaths of an estimated 150,000 people. Linda Taffs, a member of ceremony co-organizer Raging Grannies, has been a peace activist

since the first Gulf War in 1991, but has long taken a serious interest in peace issues. She visited Hiroshima in 1984 to see firsthand the memorials dedicated to the bombings. “It was very interesting. It was also very moving,” she said. One statue Taffs clearly remembers is of a mother bending over and sheltering her children. Saunders wears a pendant featuring the same image around her neck as part of her own remembrance. To Taffs and the others, the lanterns act as a symbol of peace.

Participants will be able to make their lanterns at the event, adorned with messages of peace and hope. “To light the lantern for peace, to show the way,” Taffs explained. All are encouraged to participate in the ceremony. Materials for lanterns are provided for free. All floating lanterns are collected after, to avoid littering. Lantern making begins at 7 p.m., followed by words and songs of peace at 7:30, then the floating of the lanterns in the waterway. reporter@vicnews.com

Hot rodders find a home in Langford Kyle Wells News staff

Langford may soon be the destination of choice for classic car owners looking for a place to gather on Saturday nights. Recently, members of a casual group of classic car and hot rod owners who have been meeting for years at Royal Oak Shopping Centre were handed parking tickets by mall management. A News story on the conflict resulted in scores of letters and

online protests from readers. Langford Mayor Stew Young, owner of a 1962 Lincoln convertible, offered an open invitation to any car enthusiasts who wanted to come to the West Shore on a Saturday night for an impromptu car show. “Hopefully it turns into something,” Young said, “that Langford gets a bit known on a Saturday night to come cruise by, find a parking spot and talk to people. Do a bit of an old car social.” Last Saturday a few classic car

owners returned to Royal Oak while between 20 and 30 cars parked along Goldstream Avenue in Langford. Larry Zilinsky, owner of a 1932 Ford roadster, said they are once again welcome at Royal Oak, but the situation has put a sour taste in some people’s mouths. Zilinsky said he’ll likely join the others in Langford this weekend. “From the feedback I’m hearing, I’m tending to think more people are just going to start going out to Langford,” he said.

Royal Oak property manager Victoria Shannon said the mall has received much feedback on the issue, some helpful, some hurtful. She called the scenario a “learning experience” and said discussions are ongoing with some car clubs, leaving her optimistic an agreement will be reached. “Regardless of the negative stuff we’re seeing on Facebook, I think we are actually moving forward and moving towards a resolution,” she said. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

One of B.C.’s best-known businessmen has pledged the largest donation ever received by the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. On Tuesday, philanthropist Jim Pattison revealed he’ll provide up to $5 million to be used for state-of-the-art equipment and training at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Patient Care Centre. The 500-bed facility serves about 10,000 people every year. “The Patient Care Centre is a health care centerpiece in this community, a model for other facilities around the world and one that I am very proud to support,” Pattison said in a statement. To recognize the donation, the facility’s atrium and concourse will be christened with Pattison’s name. “We are deeply grateful for Jim Pattison’s incredible generosity,” said Leslee Farrell, Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign co-chair. The funding campaign now sits at $18 million of its $25-million goal, Farrell said. More than 2,500 people have donated to the Patient Care Centre since the campaign kicked off in 2011. “Now it’s up to all of us in the community to give what we can and match this wonderful gift,” Farrell added.

But the payoff is worth it, Galan said. “When you can see 40,000 people down there … enjoying each other, enjoying the music and being safe and respectful – and then after, they leave it like they weren’t even there because the place is so clean – it’s very rewarding,” she said. Aside from the tireless work of volunteers, staff, vendors and hydro

crews, Galan tips her hat to one more critical group who make the event a success: the attendees. “Victorians have a real sense of ownership, in the nicest possible way.

They love it,” she said. “They’re polite, they respect the areas we lay out for them. We tend not to have any problems at all.” – with files from Daniel Palmer editor@vicnews.com

Sewage committee asks for another biosolids site search Kyle Wells News staff

abandoned a proposal earlier this month to build the plant on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt. “There likely won’t be anything new to report until September,” said CRD spokesman Andy Orr. “Nothing imminent or urgent is happening on the file until then.” At the committee meeting, Blackwell tried to rule the motion out of order due to time concerns, but enough committee members rallied in its favour to have it brought forward and carried. Blackwell believes the original motion was appropriate and disagrees with prolonging the process with another search for an alternative site. “Given what happened in Esqui-

malt, even if we did find another site that was closer in, I think we would have the same difficulties,” she said. “The plan is the plan. We need to get on with it.” For her part, Desjardins said there was “considerable discomfort” with the committee endorsing Hartland. “The sentiment around the table was quite strong that Hartland is really not an ideal site,” she said. Moving forward with public consultation over Hartland is not the issue, Desjardins added, but having it as the only option is. Her concerns with Hartland stem from its distance from the proposed wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin

Point and the potential dangers associated with pumping materials the 18 kilometres to the Saanich site. “There’s a significant risk,” she said. “The whole idea of having two sites so far away is probably not the best use of taxpayers’ money.” Saanich councillor and committee member Judy Brownoff said enough is enough and it’s time to move forward with a plan that has been in the works since 2006. She had to leave the meeting before the vote, but disagrees with the decision to prolong the process. “We looked at over 16 sites in

the region,” she said. “I want a municipality to put up its hand and say ‘You know what? We’ll take that site.’ That’s not going to happen.” Issues such as the distance to pump to Hartland have been thoroughly investigated and resolved, said Brownoff, the former chair of the committee. If energy is spent looking into anything, she said, it should be gasification – developing technology to use organic waste to produce energy. Hartland was an industry leader for doing a similar process with garbage. reporter@vicnews.com

Capital Regional District staff will need the rest of the summer to report back on alternatives to a sewage sludge facility at Hartland Landfill after a last-minute vote by directors last week. As chair Denise Blackwell tried to wrap up a core area management committee meeting July 24, a push led by Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins resulted in a significant change to the CRD’s direction. Staff are still moving towards public consultation for the use of the Saanich landfill as the location for a biosolids energy centre, but Desjardins’ motion means staff will again be required to look for alternative sites. SALE The other side of the equation This comes after the CRD Now that Esquimalt council has rejected the CRD’s rezoning ENDS request for the treatment plant on McLoughlin Point, staff from the THURS two agencies need to meet to hash out a new plan. .

OUR VIEW

Communication key in hot rod tiff News readers have flooded our Facebook channels with comments supporting classic car buffs from around the region who for years have gathered for a regular Saturday social at the Royal Oak Shopping Centre. The fact Robbins Parking specifically ticketed hot rods parked in the centre’s lot led vehicle owners – and most of those who read about the situation – to voice calls of discrimination against a well-behaved group whose presence actually attracted people to the suburban centre on a quiet shopping night. That the dispute over the use of parking lot space came to a head smack in the middle of Greater Victoria’s wildly successful Northwest Deuce Days event was strictly coincidence. But the timing of the ticketing made for terrible optics for the mall’s operators. As with every situation like this, however, there is more than one side to the story. The centre’s property manager pointed out that the “car show,” despite being an informal gathering, has never been an authorized event at the mall and has been a source of concern for some time, from a parking and safety perspective. To us, it sounds like a classic case of lack of communication between the mall operators and the vehicle owners, many of whom shop regularly at the centre on Saturday evenings and otherwise. In any relationship, when two sides don’t communicate well, assumptions are often made that can dissolve into resentment. Such feelings can be avoided if problems are addressed when they first come up. In this situation, unwitting merchants at the centre stand to lose business over a dispute in which they have no involvement, and that makes no sense. If they hope to avoid a deterioration in their relationship with certain tenants and customers, the mall’s property managers need to find a way to make this otherwise very positive event work. The car owners – unorganized as they claim to be – need to acknowledge their collective impact on the centre and work with property managers on a compromise solution if they plan to continue gathering there.

Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order B.C. Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their illfated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and North Vancouver. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on B.C. Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

Time to rewrite executive contracts The provincial government recently announced that 384 public sector and Crown corporation senior executives each received an average bonus payment of $48,784. Consider and compare this generous bonus to the average annual salary for a Canadian worker, which is only $46,000. For comparison purposes, other national average salaries included retail workers at $27,113, professionals at $63,941, specialist physicians at $350,000, judges at $260,000 and our prime minister, who survives on $315,000 a year. Why must we pay our executives so much more money than these national figures? Presently the province of B.C. is paying $68.2 million just for compensation for executives. It seems the B.C. Liberal Party’s austerity program has hit a brick wall. Former finance minister Kevin Falcon

that we need more power. However, Bennett’s letter would have been more informative had the sentence “you can’t make investments without putting pressure on rates” been followed with the words, “because capital which should have been reserved for such investments were withdrawn in the form of announced a freeze on executive compensation and other measures to control costs. They didn’t work. Now Finance Minister Mike DeJong has indicated that a lot of “pushing, pulling and prodding” is needed to rein in the excessive salary costs. He also claims to be constrained, to a certain degree, by existing contracts now in place. Here is one simple way to remedy this problem. Firstly, honour all executive existing contracts, something we know the B.C. Liberal government is good at. Secondly, from this point forward ensure that all future executive contracts are rewritten and restructured so as to cut back on the lavish pension schemes and excessive severance packages and establish base salaries which will reflect the salaries in the real world. When a new executive position becomes available, you can be assured that hoards of qualified applicants

Quality difference in flags perplexing I can’t help but think that a lot of visitors to Victoria must be a bit puzzled as to why we have one of the best and worst examples of Canadian flags on display at two of our city’s busiest intersections. On the Bank of Nova Scotia building at the northeast corner of Yates and Douglas streets, there is a very crisp, attractive-looking maple leaf flag flying smartly in the wind. By contrast, the ripped and tattered Canadian flag at the top of the Scott Building at the southeast corner of Hillside Avenue and Douglas looks as if it must also be used for mopping floors.

Consistently voted Best of the City Japanese Village

Family continues the Japanese Village tradition After growing up in the family business, there was little doubt that when the time came, Jessica Sogai would be the one to see Chef the Japanese Village Warren through its next years welcomes as one of Victoria’s you to the favourite restaurants. Japanese That she could share that with her husband, Warren, Village who has been the restaurant’s chef for 12 years, makes it all the sweeter. On its opening in 1975, Jessica’s father first managed, then owned, the Japanese Village, quickly establishing the restaurant as one of the premier establishments of the city’s dining scene. From the start, the Teppan-style steakhouse has delighted diners not only with the delicious Japanese cuisine, but also with the theatrical efforts of each table’s personal chef who cooks and serves the meal right in front of their eyes. For those who prefer a more intimate dining experience, a quiet lunch or dinner is as close as the dining room, or pull up a stool to watch the expert sushi chefs in action at the sushi bar. “We are very passionate about our work here,” Warren says, noting that the freshest fish arrives regularly directly from Japan. Jessica agrees. “We have families who have been coming here since the restaurant opened and are now bringing second and thirdgenerations to experience the creative talents of our chefs, both those working the grill and those behind the sushi bar.” Of course, newcomers are always welcome, and will find much to tempt their palates, whether it’s shrimp or steak grilled to perfection or the restaurant’s famed Tuna Tataki, served with the house special Ponzu sauce. Building on these long-standing favourites, Warren keeps the menu fresh and ready to suit today’s diners as well, Jessica says, pointing to items such as the soy paper-wrapped sushi options for those sensitive to iodine in the seaweed. “I love being able to put new flavours and textures together and see people’s reactions as they find a new favourite,” Warren reflects. Consistently voted Best of the City for Japanese food by the Victoria News readers, the Japanese Village welcomes guests weekdays for lunch and daily for dinner, when steakhouse guests enjoy an expanded show from the talented teppanyaki chefs. And if you’re marking a birthday or other milestone, be sure to ask about their special samurai or geisha celebration, complete with photo!

Cyclists gain emergency prep experience Emergency preparedness officials directed 40 cyclists in disaster relief activities Saturday in what was billed as the inaugural Tour de Disaster. The event, run as a fun rally and competition as well as a emergency preparedness exercise, saw cyclists – loaded down with 12 litres of water and two eggs – start and end at Topaz Park and deal with simulated

disaster scenarios in various neighbourhoods around the city of Victoria. Their “cargo” represented the heavy, bulky and breakable supplies that cyclists would likely be asked to transport after a disaster. Among the challenges undertaken by the two-wheeled participants were searches for lost individuals, the transport-

ing of supplies and equipment and conducting damage assessments. One test at the Oaklands Park tennis courts saw cyclists lift their bikes over a one-metre high road divider meant to simulate a road blocked by fallen debris.

A SPLASH of music in the Inner Harbour

MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com

ictoria’s Inner Harbour is a busy one. Ferries, airplanes, kayaks, barges and yachts are all familiar sightings on a daily basis. But each summer for the last 24 years, a special barge pulls up, loaded with the Victoria Symphony and plays host to one of North America’s largest outdoor orchestra concerts — the Victoria Symphony Splash. It’s become a tradition. More than 45,000 people flock to the Inner Harbour with their lawn chairs and picnic blankets, scoping out the best vantage point to view the spectacle of music and light, Sunday, Aug. 4. “Symphony Splash speaks more than anything about the sense of spirit and community that we all have, when we have that feeling of joining together with one of the iconic beauties of Victoria, our harbour, to be surrounded by people, by the water, and the music itself expresses that really special atmosphere,” says Victoria Symphony maestra Tania Miller. “The tradition of where everybody sits, the lawn chairs, the food, there’s all these things that you do year after year. I’m most touched by the people. I go out into the audience well before the concert starts and I always meet with the same people who are virtually in the same spot, who have come for the last 20 years since the early days of Symphony Splash and would never consider missing it. It’s those people who are so dedicated to the special weekend, that special concert and people coming together, that really inspires me. It’s for them that this concert is most meaningful.” Miller will conduct the Victoria Symphony in what is sure to be a crowd-pleasing program, with songs by Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Chopin and even one from a young

Symphony SplaSh - Local composer Jared Richardson’s piece Duel of Champions is part of the program for the 24th-annual Victoria Symphony Splash. The event that draws more than 45,000 spectators to the Inner Harbour is Sunday, Aug. 4. Photo by Hugo Wong. Richardson is a graduate of the Victoria Symphony’s Young Composer Program and Spectrum Community school and has had three pieces performed by the Victoria Symphony. Duel of Champions was first performed in a workshop setting in the spring. “It’s great to see my music played by professionals who’ve been studying their instrument for years, who know what they’re doing and to see what they’ll do with my music when you put it in front of them,” says Richardson. “It’s exciting to see something that originated in my brain spread out to a large ensemble of musicians and then distributed to such a large audience. It’s a great honour.” Richardson wrote the piece in January and says it “captures the spirit, excitement and tension of a competitive event.” The Victoria Symphony Splash Family Zone features activities and music for the entire family in the Inner Harbour from 1-4 p.m. The concert Pick up your dog’s droppings so it does not leave starts at 7:30 p.m., and finishes with behind harmful health and environmental impacts.

local composer, Jared Richardson, 19, whose piece Winds of Kananaskis was part of the 2011 Splash program. “His music is so directly exciting and well orchestrated,” says Miller. “From the first read, you get grabbed by his music and it’s really accessible to the Splash audience. He’s a really creative guy.” Richardson’s piece Duel of Champions will be played in the first half of the program.

Plan for a Neighbourhood Party Summer is a great time to get to know your neighbours and thanks to a pilot program through Esquimalt Parks and Recreation Department, organizing your own Block Party has never been easier. Recognizing that age-friendly neighbourhoods play an important role in healthy communities, one way to encourage that is with a neighbourhood block party, an opportunity for neighbours to gather, have fun and work together on a common activity. The Neighbourhood Block Party Kit,

available online or from the Esquimalt Recreation or Sports Centres, features tips for planning your party plus information about what you need to do if a block party will be in a public park or roadway. Included in the kit are location and activity ideas, planning tips, and even options such as the Esquimalt Events Trailer.

Eagles walk off as B.C. champions Sixth-place Victoria Eagles surge to BCPBL championship Travis Paterson News staff

Vinny Martin’s clutch hit won the Victoria Eagles its first B.C. Premier Baseball League championship on Sunday, 3-2 over the Nanaimo Pirates in Abbotsford. It was the moment kids dream about. The Eagles were down 2-1, the bases were loaded and there were two out. Martin stepped into the batters box to face Pirates closer Luke Skingle in the bottom of the seventh, the final inning. “We were really nervous but I knew (Martin) was going to get a hit,” said Brandon Feldman, who pitched the top of the seventh. “Martin is a great curveball hitter and (Skingle) throws a good curveball. Once Martin had two strikes on him, I knew the curveball was coming and he hit it to left field (to win the game).” Mitch Hawkins, Ben Goertzen and Kyle Murai singled ahead of Mar-

tin. Feldman had a pretty good view as he watched from the on-deck circle. He would have batted next if Martin had reached but only scored one, but Goertzen wheeled in from second base to win the game. The championship win was still sinking in for Feldman when he woke up on Monday, only to find out he had been voted by the BCPBL coaches as the regular season MVP for hitting .439 with 54 hits, three home runs, 35 runs batted in and a .507 on base percentage (OBP). “I had no idea I was MVP until I woke up today,” he said Monday. It’s the latest of Feldman’s trophy haul, which includes the B.C. championship as well as the top hitter award from the BCPBL playoffs, where he led with nine hits for a .429 average, five RBI and a .500 OBP. Feldman also hit one of the only two home runs in the playoffs, a solo shot which spurred the Eagles to a four-run rally in the third

the win. The Eagles were shutout by Vancouver Cannons pitcher Brandon Marklund in Game 2 on Saturday, but

bounced back later that day to win Game 3 over the host Abbotsford Cardinals on the shoulders of Riley Edwards’ complete-game shutout with seven strikeouts. It set up an unthinkable all-Island final, with the sixth-place Eagles facing the seventh-place Pirates. “It was kind of expected of ourselves to be in the top four (of the regular season) but we missed it with a bad stretch for the last six games,” said first-year Eagles manager Anthony Pluta. Pitcher Riley Edmonds was named top pitcher of the playoffs and Martin was named MVP of the final for hitting in all three Eagles runs. Martin allowed Zane Takhar to score in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly. “This is a team which is only four years old. It had never won a playoff game and only made it to the playoffs for the first time last year,” Pluta said. “The turning point” was the opening round, when the Eagles took down the second-place North Shore Twins in the best-of-three series, Pluta said. The Eagles shocked the

Twins with an eight-run rally in the second inning of the first game and won 12-7. The Twins took Game Two 8-2 and went up 6-1 in the first inning against Edmunds in Game 3. “I told Edmunds even big leaguers give up five-spots in the first inning then settle down to pitch a complete game. He went four scoreless innings and we scored runs every inning until the seventh to hang on for the (9-7) win,” Pluta said. Feldman and Eagles pitcher Brett Hull are headed to Otero Junior College in Colorado in three weeks, while Martin will join Eagles teammate Eric Hegadoren at the University of B.C., as seven Eagles in all are graduating on to play college baseball this year. Feldman and Martin were both named to the BCPBL all-conference first team as infielders, with Victoria Mariners pitcher Colton Wood. Mariners Jesse Mycock (outfield) and Chris Fouger (utility) were named to the all-conference second team. Mariners pitcher Dan Philips was honoured for throwing a no-hitter this year. sports@vicnews.com

The two are part of the Victoria Gorilla Mortgage Mavericks hosting the B.C. men’s senior A baseball championships at Lambrick Park from Friday (Aug. 2) to Monday. “The provinicials, and nationals, are the ultimate tournaments and are what we play for,” said Burrows, the second baseman from the 2008 national champion Victoria Mavericks. After 15 years in the league Burrows would like another go at nationals. Burrows was part of the 2011 provincial champion Mavericks that came up short at the 2012

Longtime Mavericks league baseball players Sean Murphy and Lanny Burrows are chasing another provincial senior A men’s baseball championship with the Mavericks at Lambrick Park this weekend. nationals in Prince George. “If we can win provincials this weekend we can take a trip to nationals in Newfoundland (for 2014), and we’re pretty excited about that.” The Mavericks are entering two teams to this weekend’s

provincials, all of them made up from players in the fiveteam summer league. Don’t worry about the hunger level, these guys have all played college and/or pro ball, Burrows said. “We’ve got a lot of new

blood this time around from previous provincial winners.” Amongst the new guys are coach Aaron Bonner, a veteran catcher of the league who will lead the Mavericks 1, while another Mavericks league veteran, Kevin Seginowich, will coach the Mavericks 2. One of the most welcome additions is pitcher Jason Gibson, a left-hander home from Louisana’s McNeese State University. “Gibson will be a welcome addition, you need to have great pitc,” Burrows said. The Yates St. Taphouse Beer Garden will be open Friday afternoon and all weekend between the two Lambrick Park fields. Admission to the games is free. Mavericks 2 play Friday and Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at noon. The Mavericks 1 play Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., and Sunday at3 p.m. Semifinals are 6 p.m. Sunday.

Maple Leafs off to World Games

Submitted photo

Tigers on the floor Ryan Sheridan, left, Nolan Dalep and Angus Connorton of the pee wee A1 Saanich Tigers were selected to Team B.C. and will represent at the 2013 Pee Wee National box lacrosse Championships in Whitby, Ont., Aug. 4 to 10. Over the weekend, Juan de Fuca’s A1 and A2 teams lost in the bronze medal games of the midget provincials in Port Coquitlam.

It’s been a busy summer for Justin Douglas and Lucas Hammond. The two youngsters have been named to the Canadian Maple Leafs for the World Games in Columbia, July 25 to Aug. 4. The tournament, which started in 1981 for sports events formerly or never having been part of the Olympics, includes rugby sevens for now, though it obviously won’t when the sport debuts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Canada’s entry is the Maple Leafs, a development roster with a mix of new and veteran players from the Canadian RWC sevens squad, which won the plate trophy (ninth overall) at the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Moscow last month. Douglas and Hammond are two

of the three returning players from the RWC sevens and are also part of six Maple Leafs who helped Canada’s men’s under-20 to second at the Junior World Trophy Championship in Chile two months ago. Hammond moved to Victoria from Ontario to play for the Castaway Wanderers while Justin Douglas is part of the upstart Abbotsford Rugby club. The other returning player from the RWC sevens is centre Mike Fuailefau of CW. The Maple Leafs warmed up over the weekend by winning the Burnaby Lake Sevens tournament, defeating Burnaby 12-7 in the final. The World Games rugby tournament runs today (Aug. 1) through Friday as Canada face Group A opponents Hong Kong, Colombia and South Africa. sports@vicnews.com

ecause they don’t. Often, they’re the direct result of choices we make—or choices we don’t make.

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences. Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

require medical attention. Of these, four die, 90 are hospitalized and some 26 are left partially or totally disabled. These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our province. —It’s time for this to change—

Who we are The Community Against Preventable Injuries Association (Preventable) is a community of companies, organizations and individuals that have come together to address this ongoing tragedy, and the incredible

physical, emotional and financial toll it takes on our province. We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that represents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and in-kind support of over 80 companies and organizations.

What we’re doing We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy. Guided by research and best practices, we’ve developed an approach that we hope will help British Columbians connect the dots between their current attitudes and their current behaviour; between their understanding of the inherent risks and the burden of preventable injuries in the province.

to that little part of you—that little voice inside your head— that knows that sometimes, bad things do happen.

We need your help The individuals, corporations and organizations that have joined our community share a concern about this growing epidemic. They also share a conviction that the situation can and must change. We invite all British Columbians to join Preventable and work with us to create a culture where we all look out for each other. Together we can reduce the burden of preventable injuries in BC. Join us. Visit preventable.ca.
