Design flaw leads to more delays, higher cost for Craigflower bridge 124 joints on bridge reenforced to boost seismic stability

he opening of the new Craigflower Bridge will be delayed yet again after engineers discovered the bridge – as planned – could have collapsed or been severely damaged during an earthquake. Engineers on the project determined in July that some 124 load-bearing joints on the new span needed to Kyle Slavin be strengthened in order to Reporting improve its seismic standing. “The bridge would’ve been fine, it certainly would’ve stood up (day-to-day). But the risk is with the forces of an earthquake, you have to have these incredible strong connections,” said Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s manager of capital projects. The vulnerability was discovered after the steel fabricator had begun constructing bridge components, when the project’s design engineer reviewed the fabricator’s detailed drawings. And while it’s a relatively easy fix – extra steel plates need to be welded on at each of those joints – it’s work that wasn’t planned in the original contract. Saanich has spent the last three months negotiating with the contractor, Don Mann Excavating, on what impact this new work will have on the construction timeline and budget, but it still doesn’t have firm answers to either of those questions. “We’re expecting probably another month delay. We’ll be opening in the spring of 2014,” Hemstock said. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said the bridge will be open “no sooner than March, no later than the end of May, June.” PlEASE SEE: Contingency budget, Page A4

In a surfing wetsuit, headphones on, electronic gear strapped to his body, wading slowly through the water, Don Marshall doesn’t look like other park goers at Elk Lake. He is in the zone, sweeping the shallow murky water with his underwater metal detector, focused on hitting a telltale chirp of treasure buried in silt

below. Chances are that of the thousands of people who flocked to Hamsterly Beach over the many hot days of summer, at least a few lost prized jewelry in the water. “I listen for the tones. You can tell from the crispness of the sound when it’s pure metal. The tone is very sharp. Rusted nails sound corroded, sound gravelly or growly,” Marshall says. “When you hit a good tone you get excited, but it could be a bottle cap that’s not rusted, or a pull tab. You get all excited and it’s a damn pull tab.” The retired Saanich resident has been ring and jewelry hunting around Greater Victoria for about three years and has been the mild-mannered sav-

iour for five people this year alone. He’s Victoria’s sole listing on The Ring Finders website, a worldwide directory of metal detectors for hire. This year Marshall is batting 100 per cent – five calls for help, five located rings, both on land and in water. At East Sooke Park in July, he spent five hours over two days to zero in on a wedding ring lost in shallow water by a woman playing with her kids. A few weeks later at the University of Victoria, he located a platinum engagement ring lost amid grass and trees behind the Student Union Building. PlEASE SEE: Popular parks, Page A10

Victoria MLAs eye NDP leadership Rob Fleming, John Horgan mull bids Kyle Wells News staff

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan and Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming are among a handful of New Democrat MLAs considering a run at their party leadership. Last week Adrian Dix announced he would be stepping down as party leader. A new leader is expected to take the reins

Car strikes tow truck head on A tow truck carrying a car that had been involved in a rollover crash Saturday was struck head-on by an impaired driver minutes after leaving the first crash scene. The first crash happened at 1:30 p.m. on West Saanich Road near Hartland Avenue. A elderly woman in a Toyota Venza went off road, struck a tree and flipped her car onto its roof. She was not seriously injured. Police say she claims to have fallen asleep at the wheel. The truck that was towing the Venza was travelling southbound on Interurban Road around 3 p.m. when a Hyundai Elantra crossed into the oncoming lane and hit the tow truck head-on. Saanich fire crews had to use the Jaws of Life to extract the Elantra driver, who was subsequently taken to hospital with serious injuries. The tow truck driver received minor injuries. “There’s a belief that the male may have been under the influence of a drug. We’re following further investigative steps to look into that,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the second crash and haven’t yet spoken to police to call 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

of the party by mid 2014. The move follows the party’s disappointing result in last spring’s provincial election. Horgan, who ran for the party leadership in 2011 and placed third, said he is considering running again, but hasn’t made any decision yet. “I have to focus on what the needs of my constituents are, the people in my communities,” he said, “Can I best do that as leader of the opposition or just as a critic for a particular ministry? I have to weigh that.” Horgan has known Dix for 25 years and said he has nothing but the “utmost

respect” for him and the work he did with the party. “We need to reconnect with working people and middle class families,” Horgan said. “We’ve got to be able to mix the economy and environment, not just in an isolated Lower Mainland, Southern Vancouver Island way, but in provincial way.” Fleming said he is also considering running. He believes this was the right time for Dix to step down and hopes to see the party move forward with a focus on economic growth and environmental protection, with

an eye to the 1990s Mike Harcourt administration as a model. “It was a government that was fiscally responsible, advanced a strong environmental protection agenda and presided over the highest growth rates B.C. has seen in the last quarter century,” Fleming said. Other potential candidates include MLAs George Heyman, David Eby and Mike Farnworth. There’s also speculation Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson are considering leadership bids. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

The book that saved Macbeth Edward Hill News staff

Nearly 400 years after his death, the work of William Shakespeare remains among the most dissected, debated and recognizable prose in the English language. Victoria alone hosts Shakespeare in the Park and Shakespeare by the Sea and now Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage. The words of the Bard are never far from the lips of this city’s actors. But a number of his greatest plays – Macbeth, for one, The Tempest, for another – would have be lost forever if they hadn’t been collected and published in 1623 in what is now called the First Folio. An original copy of the First Folio and the equally intriguing Second, Third and Fourth folios, are now on public display in the University of Victoria Legacy Art Gallery on Yates Street. Shakespeare’s “Big Books” are part of the Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage celebration. The Folios are housed in individual climate controlled display cases on loan from the Royal B.C. Museum. The Legacy Art Gallery hired a structural engineer to make sure the exceptionally heavy cases didn’t fall through the floor. Fittingly, the First Folio is opened to a page with an iconic image of Shakespeare himself, originally etched as a woodcut portrait. Prior to the Folio, Shakespeare’s plays had been printed on pamphlets, or not at all. A few years after Shakespeare died, two actors from his theatre company brought together the material, and had it

UVic English professor Erin Kelly sits next to William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories and Tragedies, better known at the First Folio, a book printed in 1623 and which became the only printed text of such beloved plays as Macbeth and The Tempest. found in the Folio. To understand the plays and the playwright would have been really difficult without this.” Around 230 to 240 First Folio books exist today, out of 750 printed in 1623. The Third Folio (i.e. the third edition ) is the rarest, after most prints were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Forty-three are known to exist. Kelly said the books are a reminder that Shakespeare didn’t pen his enduring stories in isolation, but was influenced by his actors and the community he

printed as a large format “folio” – an expensive endeavour and reserved for the most important texts, such as bibles. “They started work in 1622 to create a folio collection with all the Shakespeare plays – it has 36, but 18 had never been printed previously,” said UVic English professor Erin Kelly, who with professor Janelle Jenstad, curated the exhibit. “If this book hadn’t been printed, we wouldn’t have plays like Macbeth, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Antony and Cleopatra. “Hamlet’s soliloquy is only

worked in, and ultimately by editors and typesetters who printed (or misprinted) his words. “Shakespeare was part of a community. We all do our best work when we collaborate with others. It’s comforting to know its the same is true with Shakespeare,” she said. “He is probably better because of the people around him.” The Shakespeare Folios are on display at the Legacy Art Gallery, 630 Yates St., until Oct. 23.

This is the second time this summer that the project’s timeline has been extended; in July the reopening was moved from December 2013 to March 2014 as a result of a North Americawide steel shortage. Hemstock says that while the new work will come at a cost, the nearly $2 million set aside as a contingency should allow the

project to stay on budget. This will also be the second time this year that the overall cost of the bridge has jumped. In March, once contract tenders were received, the price tag increased by $2.2 million to $13.2 million. Saanich and View Royal, which share ownership of the span, received $11.05 million in grants to pay for the replacement. The two municipalities

will share any outstanding costs. Hemstock says he hopes negotiations with the contractor will be resolved soon, at which point Saanich will provide a more concrete update on the delay and financial impact as a result of the seismic upgrade.

Mayors unhappy with process to ban licenced grow-ops in homes Health Canada depending on licensees to ‘follow the law’ on medical marijuana Jeff Nagel and Edward Hill News staff

Lower Mainland mayors are predicting disaster when Ottawa cancels medical marijuana growing licences in thousands of B.C. homes next spring, in favour of new commercial producers. They warned federal officials at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week that the transition – without any teeth to enforce closure and cleanup of the soon-to-be-illegal home grows – will push them further into the grip of organized crime and leave cities with a legacy of contaminated houses. Health Canada refuses to identify licensees so cities could inspect them and ensure they’re safe. “You created this nightmare,” Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman told Health Canada representatives. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard suspects Greater Victoria holds far fewer licenced grows-ops and faces less of a stark challenge when those operations suddenly become illegal.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

U.S. consulate hosts meeting at UVic

The U.S. consulate is inviting U.S. citizens (including dual citizens) to a “town hall” meeting at the UVic on Thursday, 4:30 to 6

“We are disappointed the federal government is effecting land use decisions without consulting local governments. We will have to adapt,” Leonard said. “But the new system looks better than the old system.” At the UBCM conference, Health Canada’s Todd Cain said licensees will be notified they must cease production, decommission and remediate. “Beyond that, we’re really relying on them to follow the law,” he said, drawing laughter. Cain said privacy restrictions still prevent Ottawa from disclosing permitted grows. He said Health Canada could begin certifying legal producers within weeks and some of the expected 50 to 75 producers to be chosen nation-wide are expected to be in operation well before the official April 1 launch date of the new system. Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt said changes by Health Canada unfairly punishes people suffering from diseases and undergoing cancer therapy. New rules will force medical marijuana users to receive their bud through the mail. Like the Lower Mainland mayors, Issit suspects medical marijuana licence holders will defy the law. “I have heard zero concern from the public about people being allowed to grow their own (marijuana),” Issit said. “I’ve heard substantial concern about Health Canada’s policies and

Health Canada programs being decided by the Harper government.” Saanich police argue that eliminating home-based marijuana grow-ops will increase safety for the public, and police and bylaw officers. Municipal officials only become aware of medical marijuana grow-ops after complaints from residents or police investigations. When police identify a growop in a home, investigators need to check with Health Canada if it holds a licence. If that is the case, city officials will inspect the property to insure the grower isn’t breaking health and safety regulations. Marijuana grow-ops, medical or not, can fall victim to violent home invasions, noted Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie, which puts the residents and neighbours at risk. “From our perspective, the move to centralize access and cultivation of marijuana is a positive move,” Eassie said. “It mitigates some risk to the public and it might make it easier for us too.” Senior bylaw officer Doug Roberts said he inspects two or three medical grow-ops per year in Saanich, but said it’s impossible to say how many are around. Saanich is drafting bylaws to only allow medical grow-ops on agriculture or industrial land, he said.

Public school support workers and the provincial government reached a tentative deal Wednesday night (Sept.18), quashing fears of an imminent labour strike that could have disrupted the school year. But if local CUPE unions ultimately ratify the agreement, school districts will be on the hook to pay for a negotiated 3.5-per-cent wage increase. “Absolutely this will be challenging. We don’t have any extra money and now there’s a burden placed upon the district to find those dollars (if the deal is ratified),” said John Gaiptman, superintendent of the Greater Victoria School District (SD61). The province told school districts that they need to find the money for support staff wage increases in their existing budgets, about 900 employees between CUPE 382 and CUPE 947. Regardless of that obstacle, Gaiptman said the tentative deal is “very good news.” “We were really hoping that a deal could be struck with CUPE that would be acceptable to both parties and ensure that our support staff

would be in our schools and that the school year would not be disrupted,” he said. Gilles Larose, president of CUPE 382, which represents some 225 custodial, trades and non-trades workers in SD61, said the agreement is “a positive step forward.” “It’s about getting the best deal for district, for our members and for the K-12 sector. We want to be valued for the work we do, and we think this went somewhat towards this,” Larose said. The tentative two-year deal, retroactive to July 1, 2012, includes a 3.5-per-cent wage increase over the two years, and introduces a system for up-front prescription costs. There are no concessions for CUPE workers in the tentative deal. Barb Fetherstonhaugh, PAC president at Spectrum community school, says she, too, is glad a tentative agreement was reached. “It’s hard when parts of that community are experiencing the stress of job action, so this is a relief.” Larose says the next steps involves union locals around the province having ratification vote before the end of the year. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Saanich police Const. Jon Zielinski and his four-legged partner, Zeke, are now two-time champions at the Canadian Police Canine Championships. Zeke, a five-year-old German shepherd, came first in the tracking and obedience scenarios, and second in the evidence search component, to be named the overall champion of the event. “I’m happy with our successes. Every one of the competitors really did well, and that pushed the couple of us that seemed to get some of the awards. Everyone was so close behind,” Zielinski said of his and Zeke’s standing. The competition was held at Centennial Stadium at the University of Victoria, meaning Zielinski and Zeke felt the pros and cons of competing on home soil this year. “It was a greater challenge this year because I had other jobs and duties (on the event organization side) that needed to be satisfied; stuff that we don’t have to deal with when

OUR VIEW

NDP could find new leader here D

uring the provincial election in May, the presumed NDP victory left pundits wondering how many cabinet ministers might come from Greater Victoria and the Island, and how that might impact the good fortune of our economy. Voters of course delivered anything but what the pollsters expected, and once again relegated the region’s provincial NDP representation to opposition roles. With Adrian Dix now the outgoing NDP leader (the second to resign in less than three years) Greater Victoria now has a strong chance to be home to the Official Opposition’s new leader. Second runner up to Dix in 2011, Juan de Fuca MLA and Langford resident John Horgan is arguably Greater Victoria’s strongest candidate for the top job. A three-term MLA and with a high profile as energy critic and house leader, Horgan is the regions most charismatic probable candidate to lead the NDP. Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, another three-term veteran, is another viable candidate as education critic, a portfolio fraught with controversy if there ever was one. Other names have also been floated: Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Although an outside chance, Carole James could take a shot at her old job. During his resignation announcement last week, Dix said this province doesn’t need a “second (B.C.) Liberal party.” It’s advice any leadership candidate should heed. The NDP might be tempted more than ever to fundamentally rewrite party policy and edge toward the political right as a reaction to the party’s election loss, and the earlier round of infighting that led to Carole James stepping down in 2011. The problem with the NDP isn’t its core values and ideology. The problem is the NDP picks its leaders more on party loyalty than who has the spirit and drive to connect with voters. NDP party members and insiders have done a lot of navel gazing this year about their election loss. It’s time for the opposition to refocus and think about what kind of leader it wants to act as a check and counterweight to the Liberals’ economic agenda.

In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense? –Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

New mural for Saanich

Vision Matters

Steve Milroy of Mural and Sculpture WonderWorks spent last Friday morning painting over graffiti on a concrete wall at the corner of Quadra Street and Tattersall Drive. The re-painting of the wall is sponsored by the Quadra Cedar Hill Community Association and was paid for by Ron Otke of White Rock.

LETTERS Concert part of urban noise pollution Re: Royal Athletic Park concert pumps noise into Saanich (News, Sept. 20) If the Rifflandia concert was in compliance with the Victoria bylaw permitting noise up to 90 decibels, then the bylaw level is too high. One wonders what was happening to the hearing of the two-year-old sleeping through the performance. It would be interesting to hear from the otologists who are dealing with hearing loss of our noise polluted society. P. Tim, Victoria

Council should work to solve downtown problems Re: Space for Lease (News, Sept. 18) The economic climate, no doubt, is one of the reasons for the number of vacancies in the downtown core. There are numerous other reasons for Victoria council to consider. Many people I speak to don’t go downtown any more because of the panhandlers on almost every corner. Help is on the way if some of our councillors have their way and ease up on the skateboarding rules

for the downtown area. The store owners must be breathlessly waiting for this as the skateboarders will bring a lot of purchasing power to many downtown merchants. Perhaps voters will elect candidates with no strong ties to any political party in the next municipal election. The current council is far too topheavy with ties to the NDP. Many councillors bring their personal agendas to meetings, proposing things like drafting a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Leave these at home and stick to the business of running the city. Bob Beckwith Victoria

Liberals need lesson in time management Re: B.C. Legislature sitting cancelled The B.C. Liberals say their tax regime for the liquid natural gas industry isn’t yet ready and that they need more time to consult proponents of the related B.C. Prosperity Fund. Cancelling the fall session of the legislature for these reasons is deplorable. Premier Christy Clark glosses over the situation when she says she won’t run a government by being “closed off in Victoria” to figure out what legislation is going to look like. She neglects to mention that the

majority of her 19 ministers who won’t be involved in LNG consultations – surely, the ministers of Social Development and Social Innovation, and Education, needn’t be there – already have ample time between sessions to reach out to their constituents. The people who voted for Clark and those who didn’t expect the legislature to be used for thorough, insightful and productive debate of all issues important to British Columbians. If Ms. Clark can’t handle the LNG topic and sit in the legislature, then either she and her government are bad at time management, are too scared to face the opposition, or too weak to honestly account for their actions and incapable of participating in serious, effective democratic debate.

We all know that a student should be able to read what the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well being of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems. Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screenings do catch many vision problems that result in Dr. Neil Paterson a decrease in visual acuity.

The Saanich fairground manager even allowed Marshall to explore the grounds and target-rich areas under rides. “There’s plenty to find along the towel line in the sand at Willows (beach),” he adds.

Rugby guys create dry suit for shoes

Don Descoteau Biz Beat

Anyone who plays outdoor sports in Greater Victoria has no doubt faced the soggy shoe syndrome. Whether involved in soccer, rugby, baseball or other sports requiring cleats, the odds of slogging through a wet field or playing in the rain is high. Matt Weingart and Brian McKenzie, longtime rugby players who work together by day at Rocks Stonemasonry, have spent many hours thinking about how to solve the problem. Ultimately they came

up with Dryfeet, a rubberized boot-style cover that fits over cleats and eliminates the discomfort and shoe breakdown that are products of playing in the wet. The concept came from cycling, Weingart says, adding, “Brian and I played for years on cold, wet fields.” The partners developed the product with the help of a manufacturer on the Lower Mainland. They’ve foregone playing rubgy this season to focus on developing their business, known as Dryworld Industries. Gaining a licensing deal with a professional league is among their goals. Current clients using Dryfeet include players in the CFL and NFL, the NWSL women’s pro soccer league and Britain’s Aviva Premiership Rugby league. “We’re driven by

Affordable housing still falls short People seeking rental subsidies continues to rise in Greater Victoria Daniel Palmer News staff

Despite gains to end homelessness in the Capital Region, local housing options are still a long way from meeting demand, say local advocates. Nearly 250 units of supportive housing and about 500 units of affordable housing have been built in Greater Victoria in the past five years, but hundreds more are needed if stakeholders want to meet their targets by 2018, said Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. “We know we need at least another 250 units of supportive housing, maybe as many as 750 more units,” Wynn-Williams said. “But what we’ve also found, if we look at all the data around vacancy rates, living wages and average rents, those are key

contributors to homelessness. If something happens to you and you’re on a lower income and you can’t work for a few weeks, all of a sudden you’re in crisis.” The best way to ensure at-risk people stay housed is by expanding support programs like government-funded rent subsidies, said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place Society. “It’s the cheapest way to house people,” he said, referencing the early success of programs like Streets to Homes that use a landlord support system to get homeless individuals into private housing. “The availability of bachelor suites under $700 in the last six years has been cut in half. Social assistance gives people $375 a month, so the only way we can put them into affordable housing is with subsidies.” The annual homeless count shows about 1,600 people used an emergency shelter in Greater Victoria last year, while BC Housing has about 1,400 local applicants on its affordable housing wait list, a 300-person increase since 2009. “And the homeless count

doesn’t even include people on the street, so they’re missing the hardest to house,” Evans said. Evans sees many of the region’s homeless in the kitchen of Our Place, where each day the society serves between 1,2001,500 meals. In addition to more housing options, his wish list includes a government-funded addictions treatment centre for adults on Vancouver Island. “Right now, we have to send people to Vancouver. They go to treatment there and have to come back here,” he said. “The people we deal with don’t have the money to go to the private centres (on the Island).” The coalition’s annual report also shows more than 20,000 people used food banks last year in the Capital Region, a trend expected to continue. A Capital Region survey done for the coalition last year shows residents are onboard with greater government spending on homelessness, but that hasn’t yet translated into political resolve, Wynn-Williams said. “We’re on the right track. We need just need to keep the pressure on,” he said.

Cane-wielding seniors are regaining confidence at a Langford dojo. Ted Truscott, sensei at Yama Neko Dojo, is offering free cane self-defence classes at his Happy Valley Road site until the end of October. The classes focus on boosting confidence as well as providing self-defence tips. “It’s all about a change of attitude that we are after,” Truscott said. “I don’t fear monger, very few seniors are going to get in a fight, they are past fighting in bars. Now it’s just that they feel vulnerable.” The Langford senior decided to offer the classes this year after being contacted by a 70-year-old man who had just

Your Space. Your Style. Your Way.

begun to use a cane in preparation for an upcoming surgery. “He said he looked vulnerable and was starting to feel vulnerable,” Truscott explained. The classes are designed for seniors of all abilities, and people with limited mobility are encouraged to come out. “We will work on light strength exercises and light agility training,” said the 66-yearold sensei. “I want to keep the people safe and within their limits.” Truscott designed the classes that incorporate a combination of Filipino stick fighting, Japanese walking staff and Second World War swagger stick. “They will learn hitting, thrusting, smashing and slashing,” said Truscott. “Students will learn to target hard, bony parts unless you are thrusting

and then it’s soft parts.” The classes are for seniors, but they don’t necessarily need to use a cane on a regular basis. “These skills are transferable to any club or stick-like object,” Truscott said. West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett said seniors are no more targeted in attacks than any other age group, but everyone can benefit from selfdefence training. “It’s good for any member of the public to learn self-defence,” Beckett said. “But people should carry a mobile device and call 911 in an emergency. Police officers are trained to handle these types of situations.” The free classes are available on Saturdays to the end of October. To book a class, call Truscott at 250-474-5434.

More time demanded in recycling dispute Jeff Nagel Black Press

Civic leaders are demanding an extra 90 days to negotiate acceptable terms for the coming shift of blue box recycling control to industry-run agency Multi Material BC. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention unanimously backed the resolution last week and agreed to strike a working group to help coordinate negotiations on behalf of affected cities. Many cities fear degraded recycling services depending on how the new system rolls out and argue MMBC won’t pay enough to cover costs if they agree to keep running curbside collection as contractors. “We see a significant hit to taxpayers to cover the cost of implementing this program,” said Prince

TRANSIT future

George Coun. Cameron Stolz, disputing MMBC claims the $110-million system will be fully financed by the producers of packaging and paper. “The terms and conditions of the contract are just simply unacceptable,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said. If cities decline to be paid collectors, MMBC will contract the service out to firms and may let them halt curbside pickup of glass, leaving residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead. MMBC claims 85 per cent of B.C. cities with curbside pickup have accepted its offer to run the service for payment. It said five per cent declined by a Sept. 16 deadline, letting MMBC contract out, while 10 per cent will opt out and keep providing recycling pick up without any MMBC payment.

More than 200 volunteers make sure the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure goes off without a hitch, and this year will be no different, says volunteer co-ordinator Natasha Clooney. Clooney and Catherine Potter also donate their time to the run, helping fill the 200 volunteer positions available both on run day and in the days leading up to the event. “It’s a good way to get involved in the community,” said Clooney. “It’s a great cause and there are so many different levels of involvement.” Volunteers are needed in a variety of roles on run day, from route or parking marshals, to registration volunteers, to breast health trivia squad ambassadors or onsite first aid attendants. On run day thousands of participants gather at the University of Victoria to show

graduation,” said Clooney. Currently, only 70 volunteer positions have been filled, leaving Clooney and Potter on the lookout for people willing to share their time and skills. “With over 200 volunteer positions available and only 70 filled, we have a long way to go,” said Clooney. The majority of the positions are on run day, Oct. 6, from 6 a.m. to around noon, but there are some needed for events prior to run day and for set up as well. The average length of a shift on run day is four hours. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old; however younger volunteers are permitted in the company of a parent or guardian. There are a variety of positions available to suit everyone’s interests and availability. Sign up and view the positions online at runforthecure.com. Questions can be directed to Natasha Clooney or Catherine Potter at 250-704-2873 or vol_ victoria@cbcfrun.org.

Finishing the Tour together (From left) Lori Hitchcox, Angela Richmond, Kendra Auringer, Stephanie Carter and Val Chura cross the finish line en masse along Belleville Street at Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria on Sunday afternoon. The four women, who entered the 50-kilometre event as Westshore Triathlon, have been good friends for 10 years and compete together in as many sporting events as possible. The second annual Tour de Victoria attracted nearly 1,400 riders, competing on three courses of varying lengths and difficulty levels around Greater Victoria. Winners were: Rob Britton in the League 140-kilometre event, in a time of three hours 58 minutes, 21 seconds; Andreas Hestler in the Island Savings 100K event in 3:08.55, three seconds faster than runner-up Michael Lord; and John Botelho (1:31.03) in the Ryder Hesjdal 50K race. Funds raised through entry fees into the overall event will be shared between the GoodLife Kids Foundation and the Ryders Cycling Society of Canada.

Rams hold down national No. 1 spot after blowout win Homecoming game scheduled for Friday at Westhills Stadium The Mount Douglas Rams sit atop this week’s national rankings, following a 51-0 win over New Westminster in B.C. High School Football play Friday.

Women’s rugby side pulls off impressive win

The Rams (1-0-0), the lone B.C. team on the top 10 list (canadafootballchat.com), got on the board early against the Hyacks at Langford’s Westhills Stadium, when Julian Luis scrambled in for a 14-yard touchdown score on the opening play from scrimmage. The Rams’ Mack Wegenast recovered a New West fumble on the opening kickoff to give the home team good field position.

The University of Victoria women’s rugby squad opened their 2013 Canada West season Friday at Wallace Field, upsetting the No. 9-ranked Lethbridge Pronghorns 18-15. The win over the ’Horns is the first for Victoria in more than a decade of Canada West play. Laura Crowe-Hutchon opened the scoring with her first try of the season, while Jaiden Parhar led the young Vikes squad with two tries. Vike Kara Galbraith scored on a penalty kick before the final whistle to seal the final three points for the win. Kim Leavitt, Cassandra Orr and Nicole Ronsky posted tries for the Pronghorns. “It was an exciting game,” said Vikes’ head coach Mark Hall. “We took chances, some of them paid off, some didn’t. The girls played at the level they needed to

From there it was all Rams, as they built a 28-0 halftime lead, and increased it to 41-0 after three quarters. Marcus Davis caught a 29-yard TD pass from Ashton McKinnon and returned a punt 59 yards for a score to lead the attack. Luis also finished with a pair of touchdowns, while Sean Farinu, on a five-yard run, Alexis Keppene with a two-yard catch, and Sean Waugh,

with a 50-yard punt return, added singles. Callum Duke kicked six converts and a 26-yard field goal to round out the scoring.

Despite carrying the play in much of Sunday’s Canada West women’s soccer match in Edmonton, the Vikes fell 2-0 to the University of Alberta Pandas. UVic (3-2-0) enjoyed a solid start to the

weekend on Saturday when they beat Mount Royal Cougars (2-4-0) 2-1 in Calgary. Second-half substitutions Cassie Dennis and Allie Wiebe sandwiched goals seven minutes apart around a Cougars marker to give the visitors the winning margin. The Vikes can get back on the winning track this Saturday (Sept. 28) when they host the Fraser Valley Cascades (2-2-1) in a 5 p.m. match at Centennial Stadium.

Field hockey women post road sweep

A weekend sweep in Calgary has the

Western Conference standings. The Rams play their homecoming game this Friday back at Westhills against divisional rival Notre Dame. Game time is 2:30 p.m. Non-perishable food items are being collected for the Mustard Seed food bank. Belmont is on the road that day for a game against New West. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Vikes well positioned to take on archrival UBC Thunderbirds in women’s field hockey on UVic’s home turf this Saturday and Sunday. UVic (2-0-0) downed the Dinos 2-0 on Sunday and 6-0 Saturday to open the Canada West conference regular season on a high note. Kathleen Leahy and Amanda Kurianowicz scored once apiece in the second game and goalkeeper Sheridan Goodmansen kept the Dinos (0-4-0) off the board for her second straight shutout. Kyla Kirby scored twice in the first win, while singles came from Kurianowicz, Mei Lin Cheung, Marin Davidson and Andrea Jones. The Vikes, up 3-0 at the break, converted two penalty corners in the second half. UVic hosts arch-rival UBC (2-0-0) at 11 a.m. on both days. sports@vicnews.com

Victoria’s only gay bar closes its doors Don Descoteau News staff

The last bastion of a “gay-identified” bar has closed its doors in downtown Victoria. The recent shutdown of The Ledge lounge, a 100-seat establishment in the Bedford Regency Hotel, has brought into question the need for – or absence of – gay establishments in Greater Victoria. Like The Castle Video Bar and Nightclub and Copper Club in Paul’s Motor Inn, The Q and The Paisley which met their demise before it, The Ledge appar-

ently couldn’t do enough business to stay afloat. Twila Thomson, the Bedford’s assistant general manager, said the hotel’s owners decided to pull the plug after determining the revenue The Ledge generated in its few years of existence wasn’t enough to justify keeping it open in that format. “Even in the LGBT community, many people weren’t aware of the space,” she said. “We relied on the manager to promote it.” Victoria’s Paparazzi nightclub, a popular gathering place for people in the LGBT community – is the most likely place to

find a show featuring drag queens – bills itself today as “straight-friendly” and “Victoria’s most mixed bar.” In general, younger gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people tend to be more open to going to mainstream bars, lounges and nightclubs and being themselves without fear, says a transgendered woman who worked the door at Paparazzi for eight months. At the same time, Patti Dawn Swansson said, not everyone is comfortable being “out” in public. “There are some people in the gay community who really don’t want to min-

gle with straight people, just on the off chance straight people will be bigoted or give them a hard time,” she said. “Usually, it’s men of a certain (older) vintage. If they want to hold hands, they want to do it without any harassment, without people staring at them.” The Ledge’s closure elicited a number of responses on its Facebook page. Among them, Kenzie Hawksworth, who wrote: “I think this is a huge loss to the Victoria Queer and Trans community. I don’t think upper management understood what kind of market is out there had they put the slightest bit of effort into promoting the space.” Robin Stone added: “Victoria is desperately in need of a fabulous queer space.” Paparazzi co-owner Attila Bassett characterized comments that the city had no more gay spaces as “insulting,” writing on Facebook that “Paparazzi is a space for all. It’s a place where everyone and anyone can be you.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
