Group’s efforts branch out to urban forest Canopy loss a primary focus for Victoria’s Habitat Acquisition Trust Travis Paterson News Staff

As analysts the world over continue to fan the flames of urban density as an important part of a sustainable existence, Victoria’s Habitat Acquisition Trust is keen to trumpet the need for trees.

Canopy loss is a primary focus for HAT, which is turning its attention to the private landowners with the launch of its new Urban Forest project in Greater Victoria. “Urban trees are low maintenance, and provide shade and wind protection that can be economically beneficial,” said stewardship co-ordinator Jill Robinson. “The goal for the Urban Forest project is to engage private landowners and help them care for their trees,” HAT will soon offer tree maintenance and pruning workshops as well as tree planting workshops.

There are many facets regarding the retention of tree canopy including the previously overseen benefit of leaving dead trees, or snags, untouched whenever safe, Robinson said. “We acknowledge there are times when live or dead trees need to be removed for safety reasons but we also want to encourage dead trees be left standing, if possible, as they’re an important part of the ecosystem,” Robinson said. “It was assumed that dead trees had no value,” she added. However, species such as the western screech owl rely on standing snags as

do woodpeckers. The owls will even capitalize on the woodpecker’s work, by nesting in a cavity the woodpeckers create. If ever there was a good example of the benefit a standing snag plays for the ecosystem it’s woodpeckers and their relentless efforts to find bugs in telephone poles. A recent mapping study by HAT said 1,500 hectares of impervious surface replaced previously green spaces across the 13 municipalities of the Capital Regional District between 2005 and 2011. reporter@saanichnews.com

Parking attendant saves store from going up in smoke News Staff

Quick action by a parking lot attendant prevented a small fire from getting out of

Saanich issues call for new class of reserves Saanich Police recruiting 27 new reserve constables

Travis Paterson News Staff

He’s not the Steve Smith behind Canadian caricature Red Green. He’s not the Steve Smith who interrupted what many believe would have been five straight Stanley Cup championships for the Edmonton Oilers when he scored an own-goal in the 1986 playoffs versus the Calgary Flames. He’s Steve Smith, Reserve Staff Sgt. with the Saanich Police, and he’s been doing it for 19 years. “I was living in Calgary at the time of the hockey goal and a lot of people were thanking me,” Smith said. This summer the 54-yearold Colwood resident, who works in trades in Saanich, will be part of the interviewing process as Saanich Police is heavily recruiting for its reserve constable program. Saanich wants to add 27 reserve constables to bring its total numbers back up to the desired level of 55 reserves. Last year 42 Saanich Police reserves performed a total of 8,051 hours of volunteer service in Saanich, said Sgt. Jason Bland, “This equates to $331,810 of first-class constable salary,” Bland said. “It’s a significant impact, not just for Saanich taxpayers but also … we wouldn’t have the community connection we do without [reserves].”

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Saanich Police Reserve Staff Sgt. Steve Smith, left, and Sgt. Jason Bland are recruiting new reserves for the Saanich Police force until Sept. 11. While it’s not necessary for future police officers to spend time as a volunteer reserve, being a reserve opens a lot of doors towards a career around law enforcement, Smith said. “I’ve seen reserves hired onto Saanich Police, RCMP and other departments, and I’ve also seen them go into careers related to law enforcement, corrections and civilian jobs,” Smith said.

In the last year four Saanich Reserves were hired by Saanich Police and three by the RCMP. Bland started as a reserve in the same class with Smith 19 years ago. “As a former reserve myself, I know firsthand the sense of pride, accomplishment and inclusion reserves get by serving alongside regular members,” he said.

Bland works in the Community Engagement Division where he also oversees the NCO Crime Prevention and Volunteer Services programs, but the reserve program is about to kick in full time this fall. “I think one thing not everyone realizes is how much respect the regular (Saanich) police force has for our reserves, not just because we have former

reserves in our ranks, but because of their role.” Bland will accept 27 into the Saanich Police reserve constable program, who will study along side a handful of Oak Bay Police and Victoria Police reserves. The deadline for applications is Sept. 11. Accepted entrants will study a condensed syllabus based on the same curriculum taught at the police academy any officer would attend. It’s a five-month program running from Nov. 4 to March 19, every Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Upon graduation reserves must commit to a minimum of 160 hours per year. “There is some flexibility to fit your schedule,” Smith said. “We understand people have jobs and other commitments in their lives.” Reserves engage in regular Saanich Police work such as ride-alongs, and carry a heavy presence in all drinking and driving CounterAttack road checks and traffic control. They’re also regularly involved in Strawberry Festival, Canada Picnic on the Gorge, Music in the Park and other community events, as well as Elk-Beaver Lake marine patrol. Saanich Police will be hosting two information sessions on the reserve constable program on Aug. 5 and 13, both starting at 8 p.m. at the Saanich Police Department, 760 Vernon Ave. To apply or for more information visit the recruiting tab at saanichpolice.ca. reporter@saanichnews.com

Island Health funding helps fuel UVic research projects Improving dementia care, stroke recovery and cancer support services are among the goals of eight newly funded projects involving University of Victoria health researchers. Each of the projects is receiving $15,000 from Island Health through its new Collaborative Research Grant Competition, which aims to strengthen ties between the health agency and its academic partners. “Island Health is building research into clinical work because doing so improves patient care and makes this a more

The new grants are seed money for the research partners in each project to get

started with their work and seek more support from external funding agencies. The fact that UVic is involved in all eight successful grants (out of an application pool of 29 from across the Island) is a measure of UVic’s growing leadership in the health research arena, according to Dr. David Castle, UVic’s vice-president research. “UVic has a deep and broad pool of research talent in the health field, as these grants indicate,” he said. “Working in partnership with people on the front lines of health care, policy development

and service delivery enhances patient outcomes in the region and contributes to a global body of knowledge.” More than 200 UVic researchers – roughly 25 per cent of UVic faculty – are involved in health research in aging, mental health and addictions, community health promotion, Aboriginal health, health informatics, bioethics, environment and health, and biomedical research.

Mining concerns run deep Travis Paterson News Staff

The noise of excavation is overwhelming as giant machines dig deep across the street from the Artisanal Gold Council. Such is life in the converted two-floor downtown Victoria loft, which will soon be dwarfed by the large building currently under construction. The team of geochemists, geologists, geoscientists and toxicologists, and others that make up the Artisanal Gold Council is down to four at the moment, as some members are on vacation while others are in the field, which means an extended site visit to a

small-scale gold mine in West Africa, Peru or Indonesia. Open pit mining is one of the most common methods they see, especially in Senegal or Burkina Faso, two countries they’ve been invested in for years. Which is why it’s too obvious for them not to notice the excavation of a 10-storey Victoria development next door. “All jokes aside, our mandate is to improve the lives of artisanal or small-scale gold miners and mining communities across the world,” says Paleah Black Moher, the team’s toxicologist.

UVic-based group targets mercury in small mines Continued from Page A4

Moher is also doing her postdoc through the University of Victoria, which is where the executive director Kevin Telmer, a geochemist, started the Artisanal Gold Council in 2008 as an associate professor with the School of Ocean Sciences. The project has grown to become a flourishing not-for-profit aiding the health and economy of mining communities around the world, in accordance with the 2013 UN-led Minimata Convention on Mercury. The convention aims to phase out the use of mercury in the smallscale mining sector, particularly artisanal and small-scale gold mining, Moher said. “Mercury is common with small-scale gold miners around the world. Rocks are

ground down and mercury plays a key role in binding the gold together,” she added. The problem is, not only is the mercury entering the miners’ bodies through their skin when they handle it, but family and community members often oversee the final process. The mercury is heated and the vapour released into the air. The AGC has devised an approach that introduces more effective gold mining – doubling the yield – while also removing the mercury. They introduce technology such as a shaking sluice box, which uses water to separate gold from the gravel, and even recaptures the water for reuse. When the price of gold spiked in 2001, workers in gold-rich countries such as Burkina Faso and

Senegal, two of the poorest in the world, flocked to small-scale gold mines. Many also work on farms during the rainy season, but the land is not ideal for growing, and the dry season is eight months of the year. “Entire families and villages depend on gold as an income, so we’re not there to do anything but encourage it in a healthier and more sustainable way,” said technical director Ricardo Rossin. Mike Williamson, AGC vice-president of operations, is one of the few non-scientists on the team. He’s now in his fourth month with AGC after 30 years in the Canadian Forces where he did similar work in project management. “Gold supports 70 million people in the world and we estimate small-scale

gold mining supports 15 to 20 million, where they earn 70 to 80 per cent of the gold’s spot price.” To build awareness, AGC created Mercurywatch.

org, a world map indicating the highest concentration of mercury. In addition to the technical intervention AGC agents do with small-scale mines, they

also work to ‘legalize’ the mines, which are often informal and off the radar. “In some instances the [small] mines are on the same property as a large-scale

operation so we’ll liaise between the two,” Rossin said. Two of the most important values AGC stand by are a refusal to work in a conflict zone or with child labour.

OUR VIEW

Education the cure for distracted driving The public is demanding stiffer penalties for drivers who text or talk on cellphones while behind the wheel. If B.C. residents who responded to a poll have their way, the current $167 fine (the second-lowest in Canada) and three penalty points, currently levied against distracted drivers could see a big boost. Other provinces have done far more to try to curb the practice. In Saskatchewan, repeat offenders can see their vehicles impounded, while in Ontario, distracted drivers face a potential $1,000 ticket. Whether that’s led to better results than B.C.’s – where 88 people died last year as a direct result of distracted driving — we can’t say. But it might be worth a try. We’re all for anything that makes people stop and think before they do something that puts their own and others’ lives needlessly in danger. But at the risk of sounding defeatist, we’re not convinced it will help. The problem is, you can’t legislate a social conscience. There are always going to be people who will put their own immediate needs ahead of what is best for the group, whenever the latter doesn’t suit them. There will always be people who will water their lawns and wash their cars during a drought; people who would rather flick a cigarette butt out a window than dirty their vehicle’s ashtray; people who prefer to let their dog leave a gift for a hapless pedestrian than pick up after their pet. And there will always be people who will be more concerned about sending that “crucial” text or taking an “urgent” call than they are about getting caught, never mind hurting someone. We call those people selfish. The problem is, being self-centred is a lifestyle. It’s not a mindset that was created overnight and it’s not one that can be remedied quickly. The only long-term solution we see is education. It’s a painfully slow process, we know, but it’s worked in the past — with seatbelt and helmet use, for example. But while we’re looking to the future, that’s not to say we shouldn’t make breaking the rules sting a little bit more in the present, as well. What do you think?

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt to develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Column off the mark Re: Tom Fletcher’s ‘Latest Nestle protest doesn’t hold water’ (Saanich News, July 22). Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood. As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words ‘suck B.C. dry’ literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the act is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century. Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked

greater the difficulty in managing it effectively, while responsiveness to the people it serves (residents and businesses) plummets. However, an objective study will confirm the success of the collaborative

initiatives that already exist between our Capital Region municipalities and will no doubt uncover new opportunities for collaboration. Bob Furber Saanich

Former B.C. Games athlete in his 13th year with national team Travis Paterson News Staff

It was only the Argentians and Americans that were really going to challenge Canada in the men’s draw of the recent Pan American Games volleyball tournament. Not that Canada is scoffing at its bronze medal. But the home team truly believed the stage was set for a gold medal run in the Pan Am Games. “We wanted gold,” said captain Fred Winters, who’s back in Saanich this week to visit friends and family. “It was the right setup for us, we had our A team, we were feeling good and we had home court. We felt we should at least be in the finals.” Unfortunately, the draw didn’t go their way. Canada met Argentina in the semifinal, and the perennial top-10 team in the FIVB world rankings brought their A team, to boot. U.S.A. lost to Puerto Rico and Brazil, and even though Brazil beat Argentina in the round robin, Canada’s belief was reinforced. “We knew Brazil had their C team, they kept their top players at home to host World League finals,” Winters said. “I think Argentina and us were the two best teams, we just [drew them too early].” In the end, Canada fell to Argentina in the

Fred Winters celebrates as the Canadian mens indoor volleyball team defeats Puerto Rico 3-1 (25-23, 25-23, 21-25, 25-20) in their second preliminary round match at the Pan Am Games in Toronto, Ont. semifinal but defeated Puerto Rico 3-1 to win bronze in front of almost 5,000 fans at Toronto’s Exhibition Place. It’s been an industrious career for the 32-year-old Winters, a one-time Claremont secondary student who was born and raised in Saanich but moved to North Vancouver when he was 16. A B.C. Summer Games athlete as a teen, Winters is now in his 13th summer with the national men’s volleyball team, following which he will return to Brazil to play another year of pro for Sada Cruziero. Volleyball has taken Winters to the far corners of the world, the only continent he hasn’t competed in is Africa. The pro game has taken him to Europe, Asia and South America. He’s played internationally for Canada in North America and Australia.

For now, Winters has two weeks off until the national team begins training again on Aug. 13 in preparation for September’s World Cup in Japan. It’s the first of three Olympic qualifying opportunities in Canada’s future. “The World Cup will be a great experience but it’s not so likely we’ll finish top two [necessary for an Olympic berth],” Winters said. “More important for us is the four-time Continental qualifier coming up in January.” Otherwise, there’s a last-chance Olympic qualifying tournament Canada could attend in the spring, but no one is talking about that, he said. Winters was one of many Greater Victoria athletes to earn medals at the Pan Am Games. Lambrick Park grad Jesse Hodges won gold with the men’s baseball team, track cyclist Evan

Carey won gold in the men’s team sprint, Oak Bay’s Maddie Secco was part of the women’s field hockey bronze, St. Michaels University School grad Liz Fenje won gold in the women’s rowing pair, Vikes rower Kai Langerfeld won gold in the men’s four and eight (the latter with Michael Evans) and Vic City Rowing Club alum Rosie DeBoef won gold in the double. Both the Langfordand Saanich-based men’s and women’s rugby teams won gold, including homegrown players Phil Mack, Sean White and Mike Fualiefau, with the men’s side. Swimmers Ryan Cochrane (1,500m free, 400m free) and Hilary Caldwell (200m backstroke) won gold with Cochrane sharing bronze in the 2x400m men’s relay with Alec Page, while Jeremy Bagshaw took a bronze in the pool as well.

Cemetary tour shares stories from First World War Dan Ebenal News Staff

The Old Cemeteries Society is offering history buffs a chance to step back a century in time. Society members will lead a tour of the historic St. Luke’s Churchyard cemetery Sunday afternoon. The tour, which costs $5 and begins at 2 p.m. at the cemetery located at 3821 Cedar Hill Cross Rd., will focus on veterans of the First World War. “They will talk about the lives of people that fought in World War One. With the 100th anniversary of the war, they’re featuring that and the people that are buried in St. Luke’s cemetery,” said Barb Prescott, a volunteer with St. Luke’s. The tour will be led by society members John Azar, Claudia Berry, Pam Gaudio, Yvonne Van Ruskenveld and Sylvia Van Kirk. The society members will take a look at the lives of First

Pam Gaudio photo

The grave of First World War nurses Ellanore Parker and Murney Pugh will be one of those visited during Sunday’s tour. World War veterans Ernest Charles Ashton, Herbert Tom Goodland, Ainger Roger Berry, Henry Darley, Garnet Gibson, George Chalmers Johnston, John Stanley Priest, Hugh William Hughes, James Stewart Simpson and nurses Laura Holland, Ellanore June Parker and Murney May Pugh. Parker and Pugh were members of the Canadian Army Medical Corps during

the First World War and were dubbed “The Heavenly Twins.” “They both received the British General Service Medal, the Victory Medal and the Allied Armies Medal for their contributions to the war effort. Murney also held the Mons Star, a memento of the fact that she was in France with the first 15 nurses called to the front,” according to Pam Gaudio with the Old

Cemeteries Society. Both women went to France early in 1915 with the Canadian General Hospital staff at Le Tresport and then worked at the newly constructed hospital at Joinvillesur-Marne. “It was here that they treated the first mustard gas casualties from Vimy Ridge and the Somme. The medical staff also suffered from the effects of the gas poisoning as soldiers’ clothing and skin were saturated with phosgene and chlorine,” said Gaudio. “Pugh suffered with a burned throat but Parker’s trouble was much worse. Parker had a susceptible chest and suffered with respiratory problems. At the end of the war Pugh and Parker, who was quite ill, returned to Canada on a hospital ship.” The pair moved to Los Angeles following the war before settling down in a home on Victoria’s Eastdowne Road.

Parker died at age 86. Pugh outlived her by nine years and died in 1974. “Friends forever, they are buried beside each other in St. Luke’s Churchyard,” said Gaudio. There’s another chance to brush up on

local history during a community cleanup scheduled for the St. Luke’s Churchyard cemetery Aug. 15 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Those interested in helping with the cleanup are asked to bring gloves, pruners, clippers, hoes and

scrapers. Water is available for cleaning monumental markers, but volunteers are asked to bring their own bucket and scrub brush. Refreshments will be provided. See stlukesvictoria. ca or call 250-477-6741 for more information.

An osprey brings b ack nesting materials earlier this year when the babies were still tiny. Visit UVic’s n ew we bc a m to see the nearadult-sized young osprey.

A family of osprey living high above the University of Victoria playing fields are the newest local reality television stars. In her years working at UVic, Sarah Blackstone has spent many years with the large nest securely built on a light post. She’s consistently photographed it, honing her skills while devouring information on the birds of prey, a family of osprey, that live there. “I’ve always been a bird watcher and it’s hard to ignore a two-ton nest,” she said. When she first arrived at UVic, the rabbits captured the attention of hawks and other meat eaters. With that food source gone, only the fish-eating osprey remain. “I’ve seen them bring in people’s gold fish from the ponds,” said Blackstone, advisor to UVic’s provost, an avid raptor photographer

and the driving force behind the webcam. Osprey, also known as fish hawks, are recognizable by their whitish bellies, brown upper parts and a distinctive brown mask across the eyes. They nest near bodies of water, usually on tall vertical structures such as dead tree snags, utility poles or – as at UVic – on top of a tower housing floodlights for the athletic playing fields below. “I’ve seen them “I’ve always been interested in the big bring in people’s gold raptors and hawks fish from the ponds.” and owls,” she said. - Sarah Blackstone Blackstone saw it as an opportunity to learn about the animal, and has kept a journal on the comings and goings of the osprey pair, and happenings at the nest, for about seven years. The two adults show up around April 15 and mess around with the nest, get reacquainted and then settle in for a period of incubation. “Then there’s a long period where it’s not very interesting because she sits, and sits and sits,” Blackstone said. “Then in early June the chicks hatch.” The little family are a water cooler subject around campus, one Blackstone regularly discussed with president Jamie Cassels. They’ve often discussed the concept of the online webcam to share the osprey with the community at large. “Together we’ve been chatting in the hallways and stuff for years, so this year we decided to make it happen,” she said. Bird voyeurs can now sit at their computers and watch at their leisure the comings and goings of UVic’s resident osprey family. The webcam is installed on one of the tall light posts that illuminates seating in UVic’s stadium. It gives a bird’s-eye view of everything from nest renovation and food deliveries, to interactions between chicks and defence of the nest from other birds of prey. “It’s a little bit late this season, but now we have a permanent camera and we’ll follow the pair every year,” Blackstone said. “There’s a lot of information there. I want to share what I know and what’s known. Ospreys are really well studied so there’s a lot of information available about them.” This year, there are two chicks in the nest — a third didn’t survive — and they’re due to fledge any day now. They’ll hang around the nest for a while as they learn how to fly and hunt. “Most bird cams are placed very close to the nest but we’ve chosen to provide a wide view of all the activities in and around the nesting site,” said Blackstone. “This gives a better idea of the overall environment and all the factors that impact the success and failure of this nest.” The website also includes photos, a blog, some history on the UVic nest and general information on ospreys.

The implementation will occur in stages starting with 25 buses being equipped in August to conduct final road tests. The remainder of the fleet will be outfitted beginning in September. “This product supports the needs of our visually impaired customers and our operators while also respecting taxpayers,” said Manuel Achadinha, president and CEO of BC Transit The Canadian Federation of the Blind congratulated BC Transit for taking concrete steps to equip the buses with automated GPS stop annunciation devices. “Five of us had an opportunity to test drive a demonstration bus that worked very well, and with some fine tuning the new system will definitely make public transit more accessible for blind riders and many others,” said representative Oriano Belusic. Unifor Local 333 president Ben Williams said the automated device will allow operators to focus on safe driving while still providing good customer service.

Bhatia is especially excited about the entertainment, with roughly a dozen other communities joining the festivities and a renowned Bollywood dance academy from Vancouver set to perform. “There’s going to be a lot of kids’ activities,” he said, noting that sometimes little ones can’t sit through all of the performances. “It’s a family affair.” The ICCA is a social and cultural network based in Victoria.

The soil, made from peat moss and compost, is watered with a timed irrigation system that goes off every morning for about five minutes. Once a week, Hildreth harvests roughly 20 pounds of leafy greens and other produce, boxes and delivers it to Fiamo’s kitchen that is just a seven-minute walk away from the garden.

Getting down to work

Travis Paterson/News Staff

A worker peers down a manhole during construction at the intersection of Cedar Hill Cross Road and Shelbourne Street. Utility infrastructure upgrades have been ongoing there since May, including the replacement of wood stave drains. The last of the wooden pipes are currently being removed from Saanich’s sewer and water systems in a few areas and replaced with concrete or PVC piping. Saanich is also replacing sections of a 150mm diameter asbestos cement water main between Shelbourne Street and Gordon Head Road. The project is budgeted at $870,000 for water pipes, $440,000 for storm drains and $100,000 to repave the area.

Fine arts fest shines through the rain Travis Paterson News Staff

Despite the gloomy and unseasonable weather (let’s face it, getting rain during a drought is like drawing the short stick), the Cadboro Bay Village Fine Arts Festival on July 26 was another success – even if it only lasted a few hours. What started out as another bright and sunny Saanich

day turned to grey skies. The storm hit hard around 2 p.m., forcing the festival to end two hours early. By then several works by local artists, including some substantial sculptures, had already been purchased. And most of the artists have already contacted to return for next year. “It is unfortunate because we needed the rain, just not on that day,” said Leanne Allen, who organizes the festival as community co-ordinator for the Cadboro Bay

Village Business Association. The Reverb-Matics kept it retro with the groovy ‘60s tunes they’re known for. Sadly, as Cadboro Bay Village’s twitter feed so appropriately put it, paintings and rain don’t do well together. Hopefully, the weather will co-operate for the upcoming Cadboro Bay Festival at Gyro Park on Sunday. This is the first time in three years that the Fine Arts Festival happened separately from the beach festival, which carries more of a family focus. “We will do it separately again next year,” Allen said. “Fine arts draws a bit of a more mature crowd, while the Gyro festival is family focused,” The proceedings begin at 11 a.m. for the Aug. 9 Cadboro Bay Festival at Gyro Park with live music by Russell in the Bushes at 11, followed by The O’Briens at 12:30 p.m. and Shaky Ground rounding things out at 1:45 p.m. Parking is made easy with a shuttle that runs from noon to 4 p.m. from lot 5 at the University of Victoria. reporter@saanichnews.com

Natural gas rates: you have a choice Starting November 1, 2015, you’ll have a choice when it comes to buying natural gas. A program called Customer Choice lets you buy gas from an independent gas marketer at fixed rates and terms, or from FortisBC at a variable rate. Independent gas marketers may knock on your door to discuss these options. Either way, FortisBC would still deliver your gas. To learn more about your options, visit fortisbc.com/yourchoice.

Marigold roads. Unlike visiting players, who must sleep in hotel rooms and mostly eat restaurant food, the local players will sleep in their own beds, enjoy homecooked meals and stick to their routines. “I’m sure they’re practising getting to bed and they’re thinking in their head what they can do to be prepared,” Devils 2001 head coach and association president Paddy Strandlund said before the tournament. “They’ll be playing a fair amount of games over five days.” In general, Devils teams train virtually all year, spending time in the gym in the fall and winter before hitting the field in spring. While players competing this week are still at the tender ages of 13 and 14, they’re learning about the importance and benefits of maintaining a fitness regime, Strandlund said. “We have a fitness guy and have a sponsor, LifeMark, to help with any injuries. We even had a chiropractor come out and talk to the girls,” he said. “All that has helped us get through some sore arms and sore backs. Everything they listen to will help them think about how they treat themselves and how they warm up.” As for this week’s competition, he said the keys to doing well will be getting consistent pitching and timely hitting. “Definitely the pitching, and if you can have anybody hitting the ball who will break those pitchers, it’s going to do it for you,” he said. “With these teams, if you have less than a top-notch pitcher, they’ll be hitting the ball and putting pressure on your defence.” Some teams come in to tournaments such as these with two pitchers, Strandlund added, but it’s not uncommon to see one pitcher throw most, if not all, of a team’s games. At the recent U14A provincial championships, the Devils 2001 team posted a modest 2-2 record in the round robin, Strandlund said, squeaking into the playoffs in sixth place. They lost a tight 4-3 decision to the White Rock Renegades in the playoffs when their bats went a bit cold, he said. The 2002 Devils, led by head coach Bryan Bull of Duncan, missed the playoffs at the same provincial tournament. Teams from Surrey, Delta and Chilliwack, along with the Devils, are expected to contend for the Cup title. But as Strandlund said, at this age any team can have a “on” or an “off” weekend. “We’re hoping to be in the medals for sure,” he said. Games get underway at 8 a.m. today through Saturday at both parks, with the finals set for Sunday, also at Centennial and Hyacinth. Game times that day will be based on previous results.
