Craigflower Bridge project faces more delays, higher costs Engineers discover structure needs to be strengthend to withstand an earthquake

The opening of the new Craigflower Bridge will be delayed 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 be strengthened in order to 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 – steel plates need to be welded on at each of those joints – it’s work that wasn’t planned for in the original contract. Saanich has spent the last three months renegotiating with the contractor, Don Mann Excavating Ltd., on what impact this new work will have on the construction timeline and budget, but they still don’t have firm answers to either of those questions. “We’re expecting probably another month delay,” Hemstock said. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard says the bridge will be open “no sooner than March, no later than the end of May, June.” 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 America-wide steel shortage.

Local MLAs eye NDP leadership Rob Fleming and John Horgan considering bids

Sihota steps down as party president Don Descoteau

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 the NDP leadership. Last week NDP Leader Adrian Dix announced he would be stepping down as party leader. A new leader is expected to take the reins of the party by mid -2014. The move follows the party’s surprising loss 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 decisions yet. “I have to focus on what the needs of my constituents are, the people in my communities,” Horgan 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 has done with the party. The fact Dix is staying on until a leader can be chosen is a positive, Horgan said, at which point the party needs to work on tapping into core values in the province. “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 Main-

land, Southern Vancouver Island way, but in provincial way.” Fleming 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. Future leadership can look to the 1990s NDP government under premier Mike Harcourt for a model, Fleming added. “It was a government that was fiscally responsible, advanced a

Moe Sihota, president of the B.C. New Democratic Party and a holdover from the party’s glory days in provincial politics in the 1990s, announced his resignation Saturday. The move came three days after Adrian Dix announced he would step down as party leader following a leadership convention next year. Sihota, 58, a former Esquimalt MLA, will leave the post he has held since 2009 when his term ends following the November party convention in Vancouver. “I am proud of some of the great strides forward we have made together, and am also excited about our shared future,” he said in a statement on the B.C. NDP website. “Our party possesses a great deal of talent, and is a key reason in my decision to step down. It is time for the next chapter in the B.C. NDP’s history, which means a new generation of leadership.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Victoria’s only gay bar closes 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 apparently 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 – it’s 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

book 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

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 mingle 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 Face-

Crystal Pool reopening delayed Annual maintenance at the city-owned Crystal Pool is taking longer than expected after crews discovered broken concrete slabs underneath the aging facility’s changerooms. The pool is now slated to reopen Sept. 30, said Kate Friars, director of recreation. “Contractors were experiencing delays and could not be con-

fident to have the pool ready for tomorrow (Sept. 24),” she said. Construction crews are working to replace the changroom floors, tiling and toilet connections and will also re-install washroom partitions, Friars said. Lawn work at Royal Athletic Park is also being delayed as a result of heavy rain, Friars said.

The park’s grass was turned into a mud pit after the Great Canadian Beer Festival and Rifflandia music festival experienced wet days. “As soon as we can get in there when it dries up, we’ll fill in the playing areas and returf,” she said. “But our dates keep getting pushed back.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Project cost increase covered by contingency fund Continued from Page A1

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 of the build. Hemstock says he hopes negotiations with the contractor will be resolved soon. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Gains made in homelessness, but still a long way from solved

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.

Rent subsidies go far in creating long-term housing stability for many of the Capital Region’s most vulnerable

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 (as well). … 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,

How to legalize marijuana in Canada

“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, released this month, also shows more than 20,000 people used food banks last year in the Capital Region, a trend expected to continue as the living wage of $18.73 per hour has risen more than 14 per cent in the past seven years. More accessible rent subsidies can also help ease the burden on food bank reliance, Evans said. 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. dpalmer@vicnews.com

A Town Hall Dialogue—Wed. Oct. 2nd, 7pm Oak Bay Secondary Auditorium, Victoria, BC Sponsored by the Liberal Party of Canada Despite almost a century of prohibition, millions of Canadians today regularly consume marijuana and other cannabis products. This failed policy only benefits organized crime and increases gang activity. It’s time for Canadians to have an informed and critical conversation about how to legalize, regulate and tax the production, distribution and use of marijuana.

Speed limits across B.C. may not be changing, but Victoria could still move ahead with pilot projects for some thoroughfares across the city. At the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week in Vancouver, City of Victoria councillors were unable to convince a majority of their colleagues that default speed limits need to be lowered to 40 km/h for residential areas. About 60 per cent of municipalities were opposed to the resolution, said Coun. Shellie Gudgeon. “That’s not a terrible defeat, given we’re dealing with a lot of rural communities in the province. There

Shellie Gudgeon was good discussion and good dialogue,” she said. Victoria council is expected to discuss possible pilot projects for lowered speed limits sometime next month. Gudgeon hopes her fellow councillors consider examples in Esquimalt and Oak Bay where the municipality has decreased speed limits on certain streets to promote shared road usage. “I’ll talk to my col-

leagues on council to see if there’s the willingness to look at pilot projects on perhaps Cook Street or Quadra Street,” she said. Highway speed limits are currently being reviewed by the province following an order by Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The review, which began earlier this month, is expected to address the risks and benefits of raising speed limits on many rural highways across the province. Gudgeon stressed she’s also willing to consider raising speed limits along major arteries like Blanshard and Douglas streets as well. Council meets tomorrow (Sept. 26), but speed limits are not on the agenda. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Dynamic duo keep heads (and feet) above water 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 prospect of slogging through a wet field or competing in the rain is very high. Matt Weingart and Brian McKenzie, longtime rugby players who work together by day at Rocks Stonemasonry, have spent many hours thinking about and discussing how to solve the problem as they bash and shape rocks. 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 between hammer swings, with the help of a manufacturer on the mainland. They’ve foregone playing 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 Canadian Football League and National Football League, NWSL women’s pro soccer league and Britain’s

They’re also looking at drygear applications for baseball, football and running. “We’re driven by the fact we’ve created something that benefits athletes,” McKenzie says, noting they don’t have many moments where they’re not thinking

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.

He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. 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

Noise level claims far from accurate: resident Re: Rifflandia noise within limits (News, Sept. 18) The city claims that Rifflandia operated within the limits from a decibel perspective. How can they say this? Three blocks from Royal Athletic Park, the noise was so loud my windows vibrated and I could not hold a conversation with guests at my home. At times I could not even use my telephone due to the volume. Three days of this can only be described as a form of abuse. After enduring too much Rifflandia, I expect a reduction in my property taxes and an apology from the city. If this happens again, there will be a neighbourhood revolt and it won’t be pretty.

Esquimalt traffic woes getting worse Re: Esquimalt council considers lower Rockheights speed (News, Sept. 11) The reason Rockheights Avenue and virtually every other side street in Esquimalt that isn’t a dead end have increased traffic loads seems perfectly obvious to me. As Esquimalt’s main arteries have each, in turn, become constricted and choked by lane closures and unreasonably low speed limits, drivers turn to any clear route that can bypass the routine daily delays and traffic jams. What are a few speed bumps and stop signs compared to sitting in a line of traffic and waiting two, three or more lights to pass through an intersection? It’s not that these side routes are any faster than they ever were, it’s that the clogged main arteries are now no faster, or in many cases are slower. They can’t handle typical traffic loads without delays,

let alone rush hours. The reaction by the municipality has been to lower speed limits and install speed bumps and gratuitous stop signs on each alternate route as its traffic load increases. Thanks Esquimalt! The township lost 3.6 per cent of its population between the last two censuses, according to 2011 Statistics Canada numbers. It’s probably lost more residents since then. Who wants to live where it’s frustrating to travel from anywhere to anywhere and every year it gets worse? Craig Carmichael Esquimalt

James Bay resident applauds city cuts Firstly, I’m glad Mayor Dean Fortin took my advice and that of the consultants and eliminated the sustainability department and some middle management positions. Still, there’s lots more budget fat to cut before tax increases will match the

inflation rate. Secondly, the code of conduct proposed by Mayor Fortin was totally unnecessary, unless his hope was to continue to muzzle council and stifle debate. In the end, it was a shortlived legacy from the office of the recently departed city manager. Thirdly, the new shared bus and bike lane for Douglas Street is a perfect compromise – no one will be happy and I predict it will be a complete failure in its proposed milliondollar configuration. Commuter behaviour will not be changed. Even cyclist and former city Coun. John Luton, in a CBC radio interview, damned it with faint praise. Better to have an High Occupancy Vehicle lane in each direction for buses and vehicles with two or more persons during the commute hours, and allow traffic-aware cyclists to take their chances. And forget light rapid transit – we just can’t afford it. Tony Beckett Victoria

Corporation 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 that result in Dr. problems Paul Neumann a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through Optometrist the cracks and these screenings should not bewww.cseyecare.com confused with a thorough OPTOMETRY CLINIC vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry. #1 - 7865 Patterson Saanichton Teachers are often the firstRd. people to pick up a vision problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excellent position to pick up on any symptoms of vision problems in a young child. Although the following list isn’t considered exhaustive, signs to look for include: covering an eye or closing an eye; squinting; turning or tilting the head to one side; rubbing the eyes; headaches; especially after reading; reports of blurred vision; and losing one’s place while reading. If there is any question about a child’s vision, a complete eye examination is recommended.

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 co-ordinate 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 them enough to cover their 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 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 and direct residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead.

“That glass is going to go straight in the garbage,” Harper predicted. “So we’re actually walking backwards in terms of the diversion rate in New Westminster.” Thursday’s vote came as MMBC claimed 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. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee, said the positive responses MMBC claims may include many cities that have conditionally signalled their intent, but want to negotiate better terms. “In Metro Vancouver there is widespread rejection of the MMBC situation,” he said. “But I believe there’s also a collective will to make it work.” Brodie said he’s been assured provincial government officials are concerned and argued the planned launch date of next spring should be delayed. “I think that the dates are really arbitrary. If it’s a good idea and we want to do it, May of 2014 is not magical. It could be May 2015 or any other date.” The UBCM resolution was crafted from separate motions lodged by Smithers, Port Moody, North Vancouver and New Westminster. Port Moody did sign on to the financial offer but is seeking improvements to the terms, Mayor Mike Clay said. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson urged the province to “slow down and get it right.” editor@vicnews.com

David Foster wants your barbecue

S A VOY A

NOW SHOWING

Foundation launches scrap metal collection program Kyle Slavin News staff

The David Foster Foundation wants your old barbecues, pots and pans, and car parts to help supports Canadian families who have a child in-need of an organ transplant. A new partnership between the charity and Schnitzer Steel will allow for donations to come in the form of scrap metal. Schnitzer will give the cash value of the donated metal to the David Foster Foundation. To launch this new partnership, four Greater Victoria RBC locations – another foundation partner – are hosting scrap metal drives this weekend (Sept. 27 and 28).

“With the change in the economic environment, the foundation is really reaching out to its national and regional partners for unique donations, so it really maximizes the efforts of collaboration, rather than simply asking for cash donations,” said Brian Cant, spokesperson for the David Foster Foundation. Greater Victoria residents are urged to drop off their scrap metal – unwanted appliances, cables and wires, even old cars – between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Uptown, Broadmead, Esquimalt or Westshore RBC branches on Friday and Saturday. All ferrous and nonferrous

metals are accepted. “I don’t think a car’s going to fit in one of the recycle bins, but we’ll gladly accept it,” Cant said with a laugh. “If somebody does have a scrap car they want to bring, we’ll connect them with Schnitzer to assist them with that.” If you can’t make it to one of the RBC branches on the weekend, you can drop off scrap metal at Schitnzer Steel, 307 David St., and ask that the donation be put in the David Foster Foundation charity bin. The David Foster Foundation assists in lessening the financial burden on families who have a child going through an organ transplant, by

providing on average $10,000 per year per family. For more details, visit davidfosterfoundation.com. kslavin@saanich news.com

Drop off locations Here’s where to drop off your donations for the David Foster Foundation, Sept. 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. n RBC Uptown – 3541 Blanshard St. n RBC Broadmead – 600-777 Royal Oak Dr. n RBC Esquimalt – 1153 Esquimalt Rd. n RBC Westshore – 700-2945 Jacklin Rd.

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. While the Rams were racking up the touchdowns at Westhills, the Belmont Bulldogs were doing their part at nearby Goudy Field, hammering the West Vancouver Highlanders 41-0 to keep pace with Mount Doug in the league’s

University of Victoria Vikes weekend wrap play at and that’s how they won, they stuck with it to the bitter end.” The Vikes have a big home weekend ahead, taking on the Calgary Dinos on Friday (Sept. 27) at 5 p.m. and the Alberta Pandas Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at Wallace Field.

Soccer women forge Alberta split

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.

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

Royals split openers with Giants The Victoria Royals started the regular season off on the right foot, with a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Giants on the mainland Friday night. Winger Austin Carroll scored a natural hat trick for the Royals to lead the attack. Brandon Magee also tallied once in the win, which saw the visitors erase an early 1-0 deficit. Royals starter Patrik Polivka

Crew members inspect the damage on the No. 10 car of Steven Dardengo, who crashed during an Old Time Racers Association race Saturday at Western Speedway.

Wild finale at Western Speedway Drivers contest titles in five separate racing categories It was championship night at Western Speedway on Saturday as racers in five car classes competed for trophies and bragging rights. While plenty of battles were waged during the evening, Justin Woodske swept his races in the mini-stock division. He was the fastest qualifier, posting the quickest lap time of 18:870 seconds. After zooming to a win in the heat race, Woodske captured the 25-lap main event ahead of Sean Constantine in second, Alex Mouner in third and Caleb VanBree in fourth. VanBree took second in the heat, followed by Mouner. The late-model series saw Rory Smith warm up by winning the second heat race, then roar to victory in the first of two 50-lap main events, ahead of Brent Morris, Jason Terasenko

and Geoff Morris, in order. Terasenko, who previously posted fast qualifying time of 16:853 seconds, showed his speed in the second finale, crossing the line first followed by Brandon Carlson, Geoff Morris and Smith. Morris had won the first heat. In the stock car class, Kevin Knight won the 35-lap main event, followed in order by Chris McInerney, Brandon Steen and Rhett Smith. Knight had placed second behind McInerney in the first heat race, while Daryl Crocker, the fastest qualifier at 18:357 seconds, won the second heat. In the always wild and wooly Wilroc wingless sprint cars racing, Wayde Heckford took the checkered flag in the 30-lap main, beating out second-place finisher Deter Lejeune. Duane

Zeinstra finished third followed by Mike Haslam. The fastest qualifier was Jeff Bird (16.123 seconds), whose best effort was a fourth-place finish in the first heat. Dave Emmerson won that race, while Mark Stuart won the second heat, edging out Heckford. Old Time Racers Association driver James Miller warmed up with a win in the second heat race before capturing the cup for a victory in the 25-lap main event. George Jenson finished second in the main followed by Denis Morneau and Roger Beck. Duane Zeinstra timed in fastest at 18:30 seconds, while the first heat was won by Steven Dardengo, whose car had part of the roof sheared off in a crash later in the evening. sports@vicnews.com

Blankets offer a warm welcome for students Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

As fall starts to settle in, each new student entering Lester B. Pearson College gets a knitted blanket, courtesy of the Zonta Club of Victoria. The blankets are “recycled and handmade, it doesn’t get better than that,” said club president Anita Mathur. The project was started more than 15 years ago by club member Cecile Turrall, who found volunteers in care facilities, retirement homes and elsewhere, to knit squares that could be joined together to create afghans. The group already supported an endowment

for a female student at the Metchosin school and added them to the blanket program. “We thought ‘I bet some of them would appreciate something a little more personal’,” said Mathur, who’s been directly involved the last three years. “We found that they really hang on to them and take them when they leave.” This year the club distributed 80 blankets to students from 53 countries including some where the weather is a bit warmer than coastal B.C. The club is part of the Zonta organization of executives and business people working to advance the status of women worldwide. “We got to understand people are coming

Prominent expert AIDS speaker series Experts say work to reduce the global AIDS epidemic and develop an HIV vaccine is beginning to bear fruit. Dr. Stefano Bertozzi, a leading expert in the field and dean of the school of public health at the University of California at Berkeley, will speak about that progress Oct. 7 in Saanich at Cadboro Bay United Church. The talk by Bertozzi is the first in a series of public lectures on global health initiatives sponsored by the church and Victoria’s Grandmothers Advocacy Network. The network has been campaigning for Canada to increase its contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. “We can’t be complacent,” network co-chair Anne Young said in a release. “We’re delighted to have Dr. Bertozzi address this issue. We believe his talk will underline the importance of the Global Fund.” The goal, she said, is to see the federal government boost its share of the fund to $750 million from $540 million over the next three years. Bertozzi, former director of HIV programs with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will also give an afternoon seminar to students and faculty at the University of Victoria on the economics of health. His talk at Cadboro Bay United, 2625 Arbutus Rd., is titled Turning the Corner on AIDS: The Role of the Global Fund. Start time is 7:30 p.m. and admission is by donation. For more information, call 250-477-2715.

from all these various cultures, and the women are learning they can be empowered,” Mathur said. “At the same time the young men who come to the college are learning they can and should support these women.” To date, the club has donated more than 5,000 afghans to the Salvation Army, Victoria Hospice, Royal Jubilee Hospital, Saanich Peninsula Auxiliary, Victoria Persons with AIDS Society, Our Place and Pearson college. The club gratefully accepts donations of leftover yarn. To have someone pick up donations call 250-592-9350 or 250-383-0794.
