B.C.’s spill response plan may fall short

Provincial land-based spill response helps clear way for pipeline, says environmental advocate Tim Collins News contributor

In late June, the provincial government released a press release touting their move to develop what they dubbed a “world-leading spill response” that would “ensure an effective response to any land-based spill of any hazardous substance, from any source.” “It’s obvious that they are doing this specifically to clear the way for the construction of the Northern Gateway pipeline,” said Sven Biggs, the Campaign Organizer for Forest Ethics, an environmental advocacy group with offices in Vancouver and throughout North America. “Look at the conditions that the province set for Northern Gateway and it’s right there … as a requirement that is required in order to proceed with a very bad plan,” he said. “they’ve even used the same wording.” In broad strokes, the provincial plan calls for: • A provincially certified, industry-funded Preparedness and Response Organization (PRO) to make sure trained people are ready to immediately respond to any spill, with appropriate equipment and in a co-ordinated way • New legislative and regulatory requirements for spill preparedness, response and recovery Please see: Spill response must be up, page 15

Brian Williams of Sidney is a bladder cancer survivor and continues to be active in the Greater Victoria rowing scene. He’s hoping to spread the word about the upcoming Bladder Cancer Canada Awareness Walk.

Talking about bladder cancer Sidney’s Brian Williams wants more support for bladder cancer patients Steven Heywood News staff

It’s a subject not everyone is comfortable talking about — but Brian Williams of Sidney is willing to speak up to encourage people to live healthier and to help others catch cancer early. Williams, 71, is a bladder cancer survivor and is now speaking on behalf of the Bladder Cancer Canada Awareness Walk, an event coming to Greater Victoria in Sep-

tember. He says the issue tends to be quite personal for some people, not unlike how it was with prostate cancer — until people fond the courage to talk about it. “People generally don’t like to talk about this stuff,” Williams said, adding that can be disastrous if a problem is left too long. The first indication he had bladder cancer was he peed blood. That was the first indication that something was wrong. After a series of tests and an ultrasound exam, a tumor was found.

Williams admitted he was naive about the entire process and didn’t know where to turn or who talk to about the diagnosis of bladder cancer. “What I liked was that my doctor didn’t trivialize it,” he said. “They took it seriously and they made me feel like I could do this.” He began treatment right away.

Tip of the Peninsula Open-air library every Tuesday

SIDNEY —The Saanich Peninsula Literacy Task Group hosts a free, open-air library at Beacon Park in Sidney every Tuesday in July and August from 10 a.m. to noon. There are free books for all ages to enjoy and if they like the book they can take it home to finish reading it, return it or keep it. Over 60 people visited the first open-air library, mostly from the Peninsula, a few from the lower mainland and a few visitors. Babies, toddlers, teens, mums and dads, retired folk and more came to read at the library in the park. Word is spreading and organizers say they hope this is the start of seven more amazing Tuesdays to come.

It was, of course, a calculated and wellconsidered business decision for Valerie Lindholm to buy the defunct Island View Driving Range. The range had caught her attention some time ago and she says she often mused with her husband about why no one had picked up the prime 10 acre property and whether they should be the ones to make something out of the place. “Of course you couldn’t miss the huge nets and poles as you drove down the highway,” said Lindholm. “It wasn’t very attractive, but I could see that there was some real

potential there.” A long time Victoria businesswoman, Lindholm decided to put her musings into action and recently took steps to buy the property. The driving range had been ordered sold by the courts to pay for outstanding mortgage payments, so Lindholm submitted an offer. “That ended up as more drama than any of us expected,” she said. “We were initially the only people interested in the property and made a bid, but then the judge ordered a sealed bid process and we found out that someone, I think from mainland China, was planning to bid, so we had to raise our offer. The whole thing is an awful process.”

Lindholm eventually won the bidding and purchased the property for $1.4 million. But that’s when Lindholm began to discover what a gem she had purchased. “I’ve become quite passionate about the place,” she said. Walking through the lot, Lindholm pointed out some of the details that she found most fascinating. “The people who constructed this place really had a love for it and obviously expended a lot of effort to make it something special,” she said. “I walked through here with Christopher Ball … he’s a horticulturalist and a friend … and he pointed out all these plants have been

predators that drive everything else out.” No fear, though. Lindholm has already been in contact with Stan Orchard, the President of Bullfrogcontrol.com Inc., and is planning to address that situation so that the indigenous species can once again occupy the pond. “Like a lot of people who are connected to the land, I respect the need to look at it with a long term perspective,” said Lindholm.

OUR VIEW

Americanstyle politics

s we head into the halcyon days of summer, Canadians are coming to grips with their first taste of American-style politics. The decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to set fixed dates for federal elections in Canada has brought about a seismic shift to Canadian politics. The most noticeable change is the campaigns themselves, which now stretch far beyond the traditional five-week window. When Canadians last went to the polls on May 2, 2011, the election campaign was limited to the 36 days after the writ was dropped. But all of that has changed. Canadians are now being inundated with political ads wherever they turn. And with the election date of Oct. 19 still more than three months away, you can be sure that there’s more to come. While the Liberals and New Democrats have chosen to use their finances on ads introducing the party leaders, the Conservative government has launched a series of American-style attack ads, primarily aimed at Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. Most of the positive messaging for Prime Minister Harper’s Conservatives has come in the way of government-funded ads. If fixed-election dates are to continue, which they likely will, steps must be taken before the next election to close the loophole that allows the governing party to subsidize its campaign with taxpayer dollars. The barrage of television ads that will fill the airwaves over the next few months are an unwelcome distraction for many Canadians, but the longer campaigns do provide some benefit. The months of campaigning should serve to better inform Canadians about the issues facing the country and hopefully we can see a whole series of televised debates (if the party leaders can get past the posturing). Maybe the prolonged exposure will help boost voter turnout in October, then again maybe not, but at least it’s a glimmer of hope to help Canadians get through their summer of political discontent. — Saanich News/Black Press What do you think?

template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘... Without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly.’

LETTERS Is the dam half empty, or is it half full?

elying on a sudden and steady downpour of rain to stave off our lawns from going brown as suggested in the PNR editorial of July 8 is not a prudent approach to water conservation management . What a needless waste of water and money poured down the drain earlier in the growing season it would be to prematurely let our lawns go brown especially in our vibrant and diverse public green spaces. Thankfully we rely on the dam level to determine what water restriction stage should be deployed and not hyped up dramatic political rhetoric. This is not even a record breaking year as of yet. The restriction level has not gone beyond stage 1 since the dam was raised in 2002. Save enough water to fight fires and grow food? You make it sound like we should be rationing. By mid August we start getting more and more inversion (fog)

and heavy morning dew and in most cases lawn irrigation is reduced and becomes a non issue. Instead we should be relying on local government to promote, educate and set the example for proper lawn care and wise irrigation practices. A properly cut healthy lawn requires less water, will compete and smother most all lawn weeds out thus no need for herbicides and is all

around better for the environment. Consider installing a rain sensor. Over watering is a counter productive waste and also increases soil nutrient leach. Healthy Lawns are heavy feeders. Fertilize! The last slow release fall fertilizing, if timed correctly, will keep your lawn green throughout the winter into early spring when it still too cold and wet to apply a green up fertilizer for those nitro-

gen deprived off color lawns. If you are planning a major lawn landscape project consider the time of year to conserve water. Try to avoid the hot and dry summer months. Fall is the best time for planting lawns as mother nature will usually provide a lot of natural irrigation. If you have let your established lawn dry out and go dormant, don’t turn on the taps in a attempt to wake it up in the midst of summer — that really would be a foolish waste of water. It’s wiser to let a sleeping giant rest. So I guess it comes down to this bit of political rhetoric. Is the dam half empty? Or is the dam half full? Before we dramatically jump off the shallow end of the dam, we should consider the true depth of our purpose and the unforeseen consequences of our solution. Douglas E. Lewis Saanichton

Readers respond: Sidney’s community safety building needs a sober second thought Take a second look at building It has been interesting to witness the discussion centering around the need for a new public safety building in Sidney. While the property adjacent to the Mary Winspear Centre looks enticing, there are dangers inherent in this location. An air disaster ranks among the serious threats to the town and is referenced in the 2007 Community Risk Assessment done

by EMO in conjunction with the town. This leads to the question if the proposed location is the best given that the proposed building is situated directly in line with the main airport runway. Since the report, there has been a lengthening of the runway to accommodate larger aircraft and we have seen an ever increasing number of flights taking off and landing. And the addition of the new facilities of 443 Squadron,

welcome in our area, will add to the increase in air traffic. The report notes that the hazards identified are all possibilities that have to be kept in mind, addressed and monitored and it is not if one of the hazards occurs, it is when they will happen. Looking at the proposal shows a multi story public safety building and a training tower and should an aircraft falter at take off or landing, the building could be in the path and be

either destroyed or severely compromised potentially leaving the town without any emergency services. Just a short few years ago, the mayor and council of the day arranged to purchase the property immediately south of the existing fire hall with the understanding that when the fire hall required expansion, they would expand to the south and undertake seismic proofing of the existing building and any new addition

THE ARTS

Author, kayaker speaks at Sidney library tonight SIDNEY — There’s the enduring image of the modern heroic adventurer: in full outdoor gear, immersed in the elements, grimacing in dogged determination to beat the next obstacle with an expression somewhere between pain and euphoria. That’s not John Kimantas. He may well have kayaked more of the British Columbia coast than just about anyone, but he’s not the stereotypical adventurer. He just tends to paddle longer distances than most people. Even though lacking the heroic demeanor (though he has been known to grimace), Kimantas is determined to kayak the B.C. coast a second time for the BC Coast Explorer series, the new guide book series for the British Columbia coast that replaces his earlier work, the

Wild Coast guide books. In looking back on his journeys over the past 15 years, the misadventures and learning experiences stand out as the most memorable. Those missteps, or rather mis-paddles, form the backbone of the talk he’ll be presenting across British Columbia this summer entitled “Silly things I have done in a kayak – the stories that never made the guide books.” Part travelogue and part instruction on what not to do, it will cover some of the most unique, wild and unexplored kayaking destinations in B.C. Kimantas is in Sidney Wednesday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Sidney North Saanich Library, 10091 Resthaven Drive. — Submitted

A jester, part of dollmaker Romona King’s collection, hangs in a display at the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue. The exhibit, It’s a Doll’s Life, runs to August 30.

Little people, big art It’s a Doll’s Life exhibit featured dollmakers and collectors Steven Heywood News staff

ollowing in the tiny footsteps of last summer’s first exhibit of dolls, local and regional collections of the small figures — as well as those who make them — are back and better than ever. It’s a Doll’s Life has opened at the Sidney Museum and the dolls on display are brand new collections from a variety of collectors, doll makers and enthusiasts. Exhibit curator Ginni Stieva says last year’s show had a great response, enabling her to make new connections among doll collectors throughout the Greater Victoria area. “This year, thanks to many of the people I met, we have some 20 doll makers and collectors represented here, showing some of their favourite dolls.” Coinciding with the 39th B.C. Elders Gathering held in North Saanich earlier this month, the exhibit opens with a selection of First Nations figures. Like most

Steven Heywood/News staff

High fashion dolls are all about the intricate — and tiny — clothes, usually made by hand by designers. on display, these dolls were hand made — from their body down to their traditional aboriginal garb. The exhibit, Stieva points out, shows modern to older dolls — some of which are quite valuable. The oldest collection is

Chinese Opera dolls. From a local collection, Stieva says these were traditionally used by parents to act out scenes for their children. Their distinctive elongated fingers are quite delicate today, as many in the collection date from the 1800s. The Museum also has on display vintage Barbies dating from 1959 to the 1980s. “These are some of the Barbies a lot of people around here might have had when they were a kid,” says Stieva. While Barbie was generally mass produced, Stieva says many dolls in this summer’s exhibit were hand-made and come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. One of the things to note about this year’s exhibit, Stieva points out, is the amount of dolls that aren’t necessarily unique themselves — but which are wearing clothing that has been painstakingly designed for this genre.

Doll making demonstrations during the exhibit Continued from page 11

Pauline Lyngood, Stieva notes, is a collector and maker of high fashion dolls, or more specifically, the clothing. Details, right down to visible

stitching are stunning — especially when one considers how precise and how small the measurements are. Stieva says doll fashions these days can be very expensive and they attract a specific group of collectors in their

own right. It’s a Doll’s Life has a little something for anyone interested on dolls and how they are made — from felt figures and basic dolls made by students, to a collection of jesters by Romona King and

walking dolls from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. The exhibit is open from now until August 30 at the Sidney Museum, 2423 Beacon Ave. in Sidney. The Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

News staff

Kevin Rintoul met his future wife, Daphne, when he was 16. The childhood sweethearts’ relationship began with a friendship between two families — their parents were good friends already sharing camping, fishing and church trips together with their kids. Daphne’s brother was Kevin’s best friend when they met over Christmas holidays. Her father, Ernie Wiens, made an impact on his future son-in-law. “I have known Ernie since he was the protective father for Daphne dating as a (teenager),” Rintoul said, laughing. “We’ve known each other for a (very) long time.” He reminisced about his active father-in-law from a time nearly 20 years ago, before Wiens received a deadly diagnosis after he began tripping over his own feet. Once an active cyclist who worked as superintendent of special services at the Sooke School Board helping special needs students, Wiens ironically found it increasingly challenging to help himself. He had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS. The diagnosis came as a shock to his family. “It was absolutely staggering, I had no idea,” Rintoul said. “To do something simple like get to the washroom and brush his teeth was a 10-minute ordeal. I had never witnessed that before. That is the crazy thing about ALS, from out-

ine her doing it alone or myself doing it alone,” he said. “We always have done stuff together, that is just the way our relationship is. This has been incredible on so many different levels. (ALS) is something that really

needs to be challenged, needs to be tackled. We really need a cure for this.” For more information on the journey or to donate, visit cycleofhope.ca Goldstream News Gazette/Black Press

Daphne and Kevin Rintoul will ride the ALS Cycle of Hope this year, in honour of her father, Ernie Wiens, who suffers from the disease. ward appearances and cognitively, he is completely (the same). However, now he has these huge, huge physical challenges.” About a year ago, the Rintouls got an upclose and personal look at the challenges of living with the disease, known in past decades as Lou Gehrig’s disease, when they served a short stint as caregivers for Wiens when his wife Alice fell ill. It was then that they realized the effects of the disease were more farreaching than they first thought. Wiens’ struggles are even greater now.

“We are lucky he has a slow-progressing stream. It’s awesome, because we have him longer than we ever anticipated,” Daphne said. “But the downside is waiting for the penny to drop, because we don’t know what will happen to him.” A chance meeting with Cindy Lister, cofounder of the ALS Cycle of Hope, piqued the couple’s interest in the annual ride, which winds more than 550 kilometres from Kamloops to Keremeos from Aug. 5 to 12 and raises money for research, awareness and support for fami-

lies living through the fatal disease. After an information meeting for the fundraiser in February, Daphne and Kevin found themselves unable to stand idly by as their father’s muscles slowly eroded from the incurable disease. They both signed up. “I think (my father) is pretty proud of me; I think he is surprised to see me doing as well as (I am),” Daphne said. “He would love to ride it, too.” Wiens, however, will never ride a bike again. Even swallowing food and verbal communication are major chal-

Around the province

Fire, smoke conditions ease in B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press

Cooler weather reduced the number of new forest fire starts around B.C. by July 10 and winds have eased air quality to allow normal outdoor exercise for most parts of the province. The only regions still reporting high air pollution readings were the Comox Valley and Whistler due to nearby fires, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said July 10. In the rest of the province, people with chronic

lung or heart conditions can resume normal outdoor activities, Kendall said. There were 15 fire starts reported July 9, a decline from earlier in the week, B.C. Wildfire Management spokesperson Kevin Skrepnek said in a conference call from Kamloops. Lightning-caused fires were being reported the next day, mostly in southern B.C., with a risk of more lightning and wind. A ban on campfires, burn barrels and fireworks continues province-wide, with unstable

weather expected throughout this week. With 959 total fires so far this season covering 263,000 hectares, the early fire season is about double the average of the past 10 years. There are 100 fire personnel from Ontario joining every available B.C. crew, with more help on the way from Australia this week. Costs for direct fire suppression on July 9 alone are estimated to be $3.8 million, and the bill for the season has passed the $100 million mark.

experts, although from a very personal point of view. He has offered his experience and expertise to other bladder cancer patients on the Island, who might be facing the same uncertainty he did. “When I went through this, I found there was no support. There was nobody I could go to, like some of the other cancer groups out there.” After mulling over the idea of starting his own support group, Williams opted instead to go to his doctor and offer his time as a mentor to others. What he can do, he said, is offer advice as best he can. “I know what I went through and I didn’t know who to call. This is a bit of a payback thing for me.” Williams also hopes to spread the word about the Bladder Cancer Canada Awareness Walk. The first Walk took place last year and saw a small group

of people turn out. He’s hoping to see that grow this year. The walk takes place Saturday, Sept. 26 at Clover Point Park in Victoria. Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. and the Walk begins at 10 a.m. It’s about education and awareness, Williams said, noting it’s also a fundraiser with a goal of beating the $5,000 raised in 2014. For more details about the Walk, visit bccwalk.ca or call 1-866-674-8889. Williams said he’s looking forward to the event, and talking to people who might be in need of support. Since his treatment, Williams said he’s rowing regularly and has gotten himself into pretty good shape. “Bottom line, you can have a full life after bladder cancer,” he said. “You can be as active as you want to be. Just set some goals and it can get you through this.”

Vancouver Island named a top Island travel destination

VANCOUVER ISLAND — Vancouver Island maintains the No. 1 spot and continues to be recognized as a premier vacation destination. North America’s largest Pacific island, with its irresistible mix of pristine wilderness and topranked food and lodging, has again been voted one of the world’s leading island destinations. Readers of Travel + Leisure magazine have named Vancouver Island “The Best Island in the Continental US and Canada,” in the magazine’s annual World’s Best Awards published in the August 2015 issue. “Once again we are thrilled with this recognition from the readers of Travel + Leisure as a top island destination,” said Dave Petryk, President and CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island. “We’ve always known what a gem of a destination this is, which includes many remarkable experiences that our tourism businesses provide to visitors.” — Submitted

The Corporation of the District of Central Saanich During the week of July 20 to July 24, 2015, the District of Central Saanich will be conducting a smoke test of the sanitary sewer system in the Brentwood Bay Area to locate defects or breaks in the sewer system. The testing will include an area South of Sluggett Road between Hagan Road and West Saanich Road.

Hours: Mon - Sat 10am – 5pm

The testing involves the use of non toxic, odourless, white or grey coloured smoke that does not create a fire hazard. Smoke seen venting from the roof-top stacks of buildings during testing is normal and indicates that the building is properly connected to the sewer system.

Spill response must be up to a respectable standard Continued from page 1

The provincial announcement goes on to explain “the new requirements will build on the proposed policies outlined in the ministry’s two intentions papers on landbased spills, ensuring a consistent and effective level of preparedness, response and recovery is in place throughout B.C.” Karen Wristen, the Executive Director of the Living Oceans Society, was part of the consultation process for the development of this initiative. “It’s meant to bring spill response up to an acceptable standard,” said Wristen. “At present we have very little that would respond to a spill of bitumen and it’s been very unclear who would be responsible for what ... but in the end it’s up to the province to mount any response ... it’s a provincial responsibility.” According to the province, “the plan may require industry to fund the process of training related to the PRO and for any cleanup costs that would result from a spill.” Further, “the Province will set all rules and requirements for

The Spirit of British Columbia will be the first vessel converted to dual-fuel, part of a refit that has been delayed until fall 2017.

Around the province

Three bidders for BC Ferries LNG refits VICTORIA — B.C. Ferries has delayed the refit of its workhorse Spirit-class vessels by a year to accommodate plans to convert them to a dual-fuel system using liquefied natural gas. The Spirit of British Columbia is to begin its refit in the fall of 2017, with the Spirit of Vancouver Island to follow in 2018. The fuel conversion will be included in the mid-life refits for vessels built in Victoria in the early

1990s for the Tsawwassen-Victoria route. Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards, Remontowa SA of Poland and Fincantieri of Italy have been short-listed for the refits, with the contract to be awarded by the end of 2015. Remontowa SA is building three new intermediate-class ferries in Gdansk, Poland, with delivery of the first expected in August 2016 to replace the

50-year-old Queen of Burnaby on the Comox-Powell River run. The second is scheduled to arrive in October 2016, replacing the 51-year-old Queen of Nanaimo on the TsawwassenSouthern Gulf Islands run. The third is scheduled for service February 2017, for peak and shoulder season use on the Southern Gulf Islands route and as a refit relief vessel for others in the fleet. — Black Press

It’s a matter of ‘give a little, get a little.’” “We are not world leading, but world following,” said Olsen. “Trans-mountain (pipeline) has been operating for 60 years without a response plan and we should still have a lot of questions about the poor marine response that we saw in Vancouver ... and that was with a plan in place.” According to Olsen, the citizens of B.C. “can’t have any confidence in the current government to ensure that responsible and sustainable resource extraction and move-

ment occurs.” Requests for an interview, comment or response to specific questions regarding the proposed initiative were made to the Prov-

ince early last week. No response has yet been made. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

The Peninsula U19 girls softball team, playing out of North Saanich’s Rotary Park, recently won gold in their District finals. The victory earned them the right to travel to the provincials this month in Kelowna.

Murfitt, East repeat as B.C. Masters track champs Danny Daniels News contributor

Getting older and getting better? Not just in bottled wine. Anne Murfitt (W55) and Les East (M75) proved this to be the case for Peninsula Track athletes at the recent B.C. Masters Championships in Langley. Last year, Murfitt came home with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals but she outdid herself in 2015. She not only won the B.C. title in four events, but in two of them — javelin with a toss of 18.40m and hammer, heaving it 24.17m — she recorded personal bests. Her 6.74m was also tops in the shot competition and her 7.19m took the weight throw gold. She then added a silver medal in the discus (16.24m). East upped his two gold medal

total from 2014 to four this year, with victories in the hammer (31.54m), havelin (22.28m), high jump (1.20m) and triple jump (6.74m). He pushed his medal total to seven by collecting silvers in the shot (8.72m) and weight throw (11.66m), adding a discus bronze (27.54m). Peter Auvinen (M65) brought back four bronze medals in hammer (22.75m), javelin (32.17m), shot (9.11m) and the weight throw (10.78m). He missed out on a fifth bronze by one centimetre in the discus event. Meanwhile, in the final Island series meet in Courtenay, the Club’s younger athletes were busy collecting their own ribbons. Julia Peterson, 12, won the high jump with a leap of 1.25m, snagged a second place finish in the shot (5.28m) and thirds in

both javelin (14.50m) and discus (15.04m). Alexis Van Den Bulk, 12, completed her season with a victory in the discus event with her 16.52m throw. Kaelyn Drummond, 9, rounded out her first season in track by taking second place in the shot competition with a 4.26m effort. She was cheered on by Dad Adam (M35), who bypassed the Highland Games Championships to win three events here — the javelin, with a personal best of 33.41m, the hammer (30.25m) and shot (11.40m). Also competing was Peggy Morfitt (W75) who took firsts in the hammer (17.07m), discus (10.60m) javelin (9.16m) and shot ( 3.97m). Danny Daniels is a coach with Peninsula Track

Peninsula Padres win Greater Victoria baseball title NORTH SAANICH — The Peninsula Padres of the Peninsula Baseball and Softball Association claimed the Greater Victoria Baseball Association U11 Mosquito city title by defeating the Carnarvon Angels, 7-0 recently at Rotary Park in North Saanich. The two week playoff tournament started with 20 teams citywide in a single loss elimination tournament. The Padres had to win four games on the road to the Championship win.

Both teams of nine and ten year old ballplayers played well but in the end it was the Padres pitching that took the day. Jack Swinton and Ashton Carrier combined to scatter just four hits and a walk while earning the shutout. Remarkably the two pitchers combined for eighteen strike outs in the six inning affair. Offensively the Padres were led by Swinton and Lucas Holt who both went three for three on the day.

“The dedicated focus the last five years on player development in the baseball program at PBSA is a key contributor to the Padres success in 2015,” said Dave Swinton, vice-president of junior baseball at PBSA. “The club looks to achieve more milestones as we move through summer all-star play, fall ball recreation play and back into spring play in 2016.” Details on the club can be found at pbsa.ca. — Submitted

Public demands higher distracted driving fines Tom Fletcher Black Press

Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C.

residents who have responded want fines increased. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on

the B.C. government’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while

they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go. “British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher

escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said recently.

SAVE WATER, SAVE MONEY SMALL CHANGES CAN ADD UP

“We need to stop that.” B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year. Comments on the website www.gov. bc.ca/distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered. Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Sas-

katchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions. The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also under-represented. The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

During these hot dry summer months, water conservation is even more important. Plus, saving water can help reduce your electricity bill. Did you know the average B.C. household uses nearly $250 worth of electricity every year to keep the hot water flowing?

Life coach returning to volleyball roots Royal Roads Toastmasters member taking his talents to Africa Rick Stiebel News staff

ic Lindal is taking a backwards approach to his upcoming coaching clinic in Zimbabwe. Lindal, a former head coach of the Canadian National women’s volleyball team, is heading to the African country for two weeks in October. Four days of that time will see him work with coaches to create a volleyball academy for young men and women, while the balance will be devoted to working directly with players, teams and coaches. “We are going to use volleyball to develop life skills for the youth in Zimbabwe,” said

“you start with the final product and work your way back.” The philosophy is based on a book Lindal co-authored with Dr. George McMaster, a retired Brandon University professor, End Point Visioning and Beyond. “End point visioning teaches people how to create a picture of

a preferred future,” Lindal explained. He described the

motivation behind the trip as an opportunity to help a friend, Martin

Dururu, who he got to know when the latter attended the University of Victoria to earn his master’s degree in coaching as part of a Commonwealth Games initiative. Dururu served as an assistant coach with the Camosun Chargers men’s volleyball term before returning to Zimbabwe. Lindal kept in touch with him and canvassed schools across the country to send him used equipment to promote volleyball in Dururu’s home country. Lindal, 78, spent time recently traveling to volleyball events across B.C. in preparation for the trip to discuss how to create a vision for the Zimbabwe program.

Many of the principles he will employ with coaches and young players there were forged at the first outdoor volleyball camp Lindal helped pioneer in Winfield, B.C. in 1966. The goal on this trip is to create a foundation to support the program so the camps can run annually in Zimbabwe. Lindal, who is paying his own way, plans to take over as much used equipment as he can collect before the trip. He set up an Indiegogo crowd-funding site to help make annual camps a reality for young people in Zimbabwe.
