Colwood’s mayor stepping aside in November Dave Saunders cites family commitments Sam Van Schie News staff

Archers find a home Bowmen club restarts region’s only outdoor target range Edward Hill News staff

Under high voltage power lines, in sight of a youth detention centre and on rutted, uneven ground, it’s home sweet home for archers in Victoria. On a wedge of land between Burnside Road, Watkiss Way and the Trans-Canada Highway, the Victoria Bowmen have found a new permanent range

after a two years of being an archery club without a home. Now with three acres of land surrounded by berms and brush, the region’s only outdoor archery range this side of the Malahat is up and running, albeit under less than ideal conditions. “This was a dump pile from when they built the (TransCanada) highway. It was full of cement and plastic and all kinds of crap in here,” laughed club vice-president Bruce Somers. “But this is an ideal spot.” After nearly 45 continuous years of archery, the club was evicted from Department of National Defence land in Colwood in October 2009. The navy

reclaimed the space for its own uses. Somers and Bowmen president Al Wills — both 40 year veterans of the 60 year club — investigated leasing land at Luxton Fairgrounds, the old police gun range near Thetis Lake and the Boys and Girls Club in Metchosin, but all had discouraging logistical hurdles. Long-idle land owned by Provincial Capital Commission at Burnside and Watkiss proved to be as good as it gets. The parcel is isolated from neighbourhoods and is large enough to hold lower-level competitions. PLEASE SEE: Full archery field, Page A6

Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders has announced he will call an end to his political career. Saunders, 44, was first elected to council in 2005 and became mayor in 2008. He won’t seek another term in the November municipal election. He said the job takes too much of his time and attention away from his wife of 21 years, and three daughters, aged 11, 12 and 16. “I couldn’t see myself doing it for another three years and missing those years with my children as they grow up,” Saunders said. “My family has always supported me, but when I told them I was done being mayor my youngest daughter gave me a huge hug and was so excited. Right then and there I knew I’d made the right decision.” Saunders kept a busy schedule on Colwood council and a number of committees, and also served on West Shore recreation’s board of directors and the Capital Regional District board. Conflict at the Colwood council table didn’t contribute to his decision to step aside, he said. Saunders has butted heads with Coun. Ernie Robertson throughout the term and in recent months the two have threatened each other

with legal action. The mayor has also been criticized in a number of anonymous mail outs and is considering launching a defamation case against the Colwood resident allegedly producing them. But, Saunders said, his work with the majority of councillors and in the community has been positive and fulfilling. “I can take some daggers in my back,” he said. “If I need to go to court to defend my good reputation, I will. That hasn’t pushed me out the door.” After wrapping up as mayor, Saunders will continue working for his excavating company and plans to take a more active role at his father’s car dealership, Saunders Subaru, and with the Saunders Family Foundation established to support athletic development.

Goose raised by rabbits released André the goose comes to terms with identity

“He’s OK now, he’s figured out he’s not a rabbit.” –Kari Marks Wild ARC manager

Sam Van Schie News staff

A Canada goose that thought he was a rabbit is back in the wild after being rehabilitated at Wild ARC in Metchosin. The goose, known as André at the EARS rabbit sanctuary in Coombs, B.C. where he was dropped off orphaned. He spent the first few months of his life sharing food and sleeping quarters with rabbits sent there from University of Victoria. He was in the pen with the 20 rabbits that were stomped to death when intruder broke into the facility in June. André, a fuzzy yellow gosling at the time, was unharmed. But after the trauma of losing his second family, the goose was sent to Wild ARC where he could live with other migratory birds and learn to survive on his own. Upon arriving at the rehabilitation centre in early July, the first thing to go was his name.

Sam Van Schie/News staff

At Wild ARC in Metchosin, a goose that achieved minor celebrity status for being raised as a rabbit in Coombs, B.C., frolics with his own kind in the days before being released in the wild. “He’s not André to us, he’s just a goose,” said Wild ARC manager Kari Marks.

The newcomer was initially rejected and bullied by the other geese at the centre and had

to be kept segregated. Having never been around his own kind, he didn’t know how to act as

part of the flock and was unsure how to interact with other geese. But after most of the more aggressive geese were released, André was moved back to the aquatic pen with just one other small goose and a flock of ducklings. Despite spending his formative months among rabbits, it’s doubtful André earnestly adopted the rabbit lifestyle of hopping around and gnawing on vegetables. At Wild ARC, it didn’t take him long to warm up to going in the water and behaving like a goose. “He’s OK now, he’s figured out he’s not a rabbit,” Marks said. Both André and the small goose were released in Florence Lake in Langford last week. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Man launders blue-stained stolen cash Edward Hill News staff

West Shore RCMP are warning merchants to be on the lookout for blue-dyed money stolen from an ATM machine earlier this month. On the night of July 25, RCMP received a call from a Victoria General Hospital security officer after a man spent an inordinate amount of time feeding bills into a change machine. “A security guy saw another guy trying to make change and filling his pockets,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Danny Willis. “He called us and said it was strange. We agreed that it was strange.” RCMP got the change company to crack open its machine, and police found $840 worth of $20 bills splattered with blue dye. A short time later a service station in Langford

notified police that a man tried to buy gift cards with stained money, but ran off when confronted. RCMP officers fanned out to service stations and convenience stores open late Monday night and early Tuesday morning. One other service station in Langford had sold a man $820 in gift cards who used dyed $20 bills. Similar $20 bills were also used at a convenience store in Saanich on July 24 and most recently in Duncan on July 26, police say. Willis said investigators determined the cash was stolen from an ATM machine in Okanagan Falls on July 11, and was stained blue from an explosive security dye pack. Police haven’t released how much cash was stolen, but Willis said there are still a “large quantity” of bills at large. Police have video images of the

suspect, but those aren’t being released. The male is described as being six feet tall, 170 pounds, in his 20s, wearing blue jeans, white shoes and a jersey style shirt with the number “09” on the front. It’s not clear if the suspect is the ATM thief or someone who is just laundering the money. “We assume he is the thief or that he bought the cash at a discount and is basically laundering it in the form of purchases,” Willis said. “People need to be on the lookout for a lot more of this, especially store clerks. It would be nice if they could call us right away.” Anyone who has information on this crime, or had witnessed someone trying to spend blue-dyed cash, can call West Shore RCMP at 250-4742264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS). editor@goldstreamgazette.com

If you see money stained like this, it was probably stolen. West Shore RCMP are seeking a man who laundered more than $1,600 worth last week.

Colwood demands return to full ambulance service BC Ambulance defends moving vehicles to Victoria Sam Van Schie News staff

Colwood council is calling for an end to a BC Ambulance pilot project that has left only one round-the-clock ambulance running out of the West Shore station. On June 1, BC Ambulance quietly reassigned two peakhour cars from West Shore to the central station on Douglas Street near Uptown to bring them closer to the bulk of emergency calls come from. The trial is slated to last three months, but Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders says it should end immediately. Shawn Carby, executive director for BC Ambulance on Vancouver Island, attended a recent council meeting to hear the City’s concern.

“We don’t want this trial to continue,” Saunders said. “Our citizens don’t want it, and in that it’s the citizens paying for the service, I think you need to listen to them on that one.” Protective services committee chair Coun. Gordie Logan read from a stack of statistics on ambulance response times on West Shore since the trial began. He said that at end of June there was a 17 minute responce time to a 16-monthold infant who was having a seizure, and on July 11 the nearest ambulance available to respond to a cardiac arrest had to drive from Sooke. “That person passed away because of many factors but certainly delayed response by the ambulance contributed,” Logan said. But Carby, himself a West Shore resident, said those incidents were unusual and that overall response times have not increased. Comparing West Shore statistics for June to the

previous month, he said there was actually a five per cent increase in the number of high priority calls where the ambulance made it to the scene in nine minutes or less. Carby also cited a peak call volume on June 16, when West Shore had nine emergencies between 7 and 11 a.m. and the ambulance was able to respond to all of them. Victoria, during the same time period, had 33 calls. “The goal of this trial is equalizing utalization of the resources region-wide, and it’s meeting that target,” Carby said. “Ambulances are not assigned to specific areas, they don’t work on municipal boundaries. They go where the call volume is.” Indeed, when there were three ambulances based out of the West Shore, they would regularly respond to emergencies happening elsewhere. But between calls the ambulances would return to the Jacklin

Road station. Now the vehicles only park there when paramedics are off shift. Logan said having fewer ambulances impacts municipal emergency services. Responders deployed from Colwood Fire Rescue are required to stay on scene until an ambulance arrives. If the ambulance takes longer, firefighters are the ones filling the gap. “At the end of the day, that’s passing the cost onto us, it affects our bottom line,” Logan said, adding

that the province should fund more ambulances in Victoria and restore service to West Shore. “I understand the pressures (for ambulance services), but that means resources need to come in provincially not from other communities,” Logan said. Colwood has scheduled a meeting to also express its concern to Minister of Health Michael de Jong at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference this September. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Local MLA expenses top $185K Ida Chong a top three spender for province

MLA running around money Greater Victoria MLA travel expenses for 2010-11. ■ Ida Chong (Liberal) Oak Bay-Gordon Head: $62,962 (as MLA and cabinet minister).

Christy Clark, every time you change cabinet you have different travel costs, you have new business cards, and those are taxpayers’ dollars,” James said. Of all ministers, Chong had the third-largest travel bill, after Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell ($68,467) and Kevin Krueger ($65,562). Gregory Thomas, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, said the transparency of public accounts is a good thing, but he said that more detailed summaries may be needed. “It’s progress, but they’re years behind the rest of the country,” he said, adding that many other jurisdictions provide scans of receipts or a breakdown of each expense. “It’s not rocket science. Providing one expenditure line for the whole year just doesn’t cut it in 2011.” The MLAs all said they’re cognizant of spending taxpayers’ money.

OUR VIEW

HST referendum a waiting game W

ith the deadline Friday (Aug. 5) for HST referendum ballots to be received by Elections B.C., anticipation is building for the result. It’s almost like betting on a horse race then waiting for the race to be run. Except that there will be no big winners and few big losers after the votes are tallied. To the government’s credit, it has done a good job spelling out two scenarios for taxpayers, both of keeping the HST and alternately, going back to the PST-GST. The Fight HST camp, on the other hand, has done virtually nothing to acknowledge any positive aspects of the now year-old sales tax system. That one-sided vision has done the public a disservice and has only contributed to the confusion over the real differences between the two taxing strategies. Where the Liberals have been attempting to simplify the debate, Bill Vander Zalm and company have been doing their best to muddy the facts and appeal more to people’s hearts than their heads. Where that leaves voters who haven’t yet mailed or dropped off their HST referendum ballot is, largely, in the dark and, in many cases, likely to avoid voting altogether. And that is unfortunate given that this vote will directly impact every resident in the province daily. Unlike elections, in which most voters support a candidate or party on their merits, a referendum is simple — nothing else need be considered before casting one’s ballot. Which way will the referendum go? It seems those convinced the HST is a bad idea are sure it will be defeated. HST supporters tend to be a lot more uncertain of the result, yet hopeful. Regardless, no one need fear backing the wrong horse. The sun will still rise, government will continue to operate and those prone to doing so will eventually find something else to complain about.

this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion. Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as Germany. Finding, let alone fixing, damaged power lines is a monumental task. A smart grid (much more than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power. Do smart meters continuously communicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at night to pee? No and no. These are the kinds of nonsense claims that surround the smart meter issue. BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave exposure is equivalent to a half-hour cell phone call every 20 years. The British National Cancer Institute just published an extensive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation. Somebody should send a postcard to the Green Party and tell them about it. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

LETTERS Poor transportation hits our wallets As we sit and watch the events in Washington unfold regarding the massive debt and deficits that need to be tackled, have we ever wondered how much we spend on transportation both at the government level and on a personal level. More specifically, there is a strong correlation between living in suburbia and a high proportion of a family budget devoted to transportation. When we spend 18 per cent of our personal budgets on transportation (Statistics Canada, 2011) just to sit in traffic — we need to react. This figure does not even include the detrimental impact on our productivity. A recent UITP (an international network for public transport authorities and operators, policy decision-makers, scientific institutes and the public transport supply and service industry) publication estimated that in North America, the costs of trips as a proportion of GDP is 12.7 per cent whereas in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore it is only 5.4 per cent. The difference is a productive advantage for the Asian economies. At the government level, transportation authorities are spend-

ing ever increasing amounts of funds just to service the next subdivision. This includes transportation budgets for service professionals, medical personal, increasing road construction and rehabilitation costs, and so on. Governments should not be in the business of promoting and financing urban sprawl. Mass transit and higher urban density will allow for greater mobility (for employment, health, social connections and so on) for those currently hindered by high transportation costs. Coincidentally, President Barack Obama has been pushing for these measures for the last couple of years. Unfortunately for him, these measures should have been implemented decades ago just to curtail the negative productive and debt impacts of urban sprawl. Avi Ickovich Langford

On July 23 at 8:15 a.m. a grey Honda CRV passed me as we came off the bridge heading towards Fort Rodd Hill. Seconds later a group of a dozen or so cyclists came around the corner in the oncoming lane. I shudder at the thought of what could have happened had the CRV hit these cyclists. This is the second time I've been passed on a Saturday morning coming out of the curve just after the bridge. I'm a resident of the Lagoon area and I understand the importance of having the bridge open. However, I am one of many in the area that are sick of the aggressive driving both through the park and up and down our residential streets. What will it take to get the message across for drivers to slow down? Ocean Boulevard is not a highway. Cynthia Albers Colwood

the street later in the day. I along with my daughter and many others in the line waited five hours, some longer, to get a picture with Gene and his family. We got to witness them a half hour late and leave an hour early. The picture and greet was advertised from noon until 4 p.m.. After our long wait we got to the stairs of the casino near the picture stage and were told at 3 p.m. that there were no more pictures. People that had been there in line for hours just wound up leaving early, which we should have done also. We should have left with the pictures I took when they arrived and saved ourselves four hours or waiting. I don’t know who organized it or planned it, but someone please give them a watch and teach them crowd control and organization. Glenn Armstrong Langford

Ocean Boulevard still a speedway

A futile, long wait for Simmons family

BC Transit offers seniors special pass

It seems that speed is still an issue along Ocean Boulevard. Since the bridge reopened, double solid lines painted on Ocean Boulevard and the 40 kilometre per hour signs posted, I have been passed a total of 12 times.

I attended Gene Simmons and family function on July 23 and was utterly disappointed and let down. There was such a lack of security and organization that people just cut in line after coming off

Re: Think of seniors in transit plans, Our View, July 6, 2011. Regarding changes to bus passes, people should know BC Transit offers a yearly bus pass for seniors on fixed incomes? It is not widely known or advertised.

I heard about it through word-ofmouth. All one has to do is phone and request an application. The price is $45 for an annual bus pass. It sure takes the angst out of travel times, schedules and long walks. Margaret Hunt Victoria

Saunders lauded as a leader Continued from Page A1

And in his final months at the helm, Saunders is hoping to get Colwood’s thorny sewage issues sorted out once and for all. “We’re really close,” he said. “If we can get the 56 local service areas merged into five or six, it will solve so many problems for the next council and free up a lot of staff time.” Saunders said he feels good about the progress he’s made as mayor, particularly with increasing transparency of the City’s business operations and diversifying its tax base with more commercial zoning. Under his tenure he also saw Colwood partner with Royal Roads University to have students analyze the energy-saving effects of sustainability initiatives. This included the new $3.9 million Solar Colwood program that will subsidize the cost of

Gordie Logan, who was elected to council the same year as Saunders. “We’ve had to make some tough decisions under his leadership. I think Colwood is in better shape today than it was three years ago.” West Shore Chamber of Commerce CEO Dan Spinner said Saunders’ leadership will be missed by the business community. “He did a superb job attracting high density, green development,” Spinner said, citing Colwood Corners preparing to break ground this September and a deal that’s in the works for the Royal Bay lands. “Every year he got better and better at connecting with a wide range of interest groups and encouraging community engagement on issues,” Spinner said. “Some criticized him, not everyone liked his green agenda, but he is someone deeply committed to the community in a real way.” Saunders said the next council will be in a good position to lower taxes as development picks up,

particularly if they support a large marina development at Royal Bay, which he’s been working with stakeholders on. He said he doesn’t know of anyone waiting in the wings to become mayor, but hopes his early announcement will give anyone thinking about it plenty of time to prepare their platform. “It’s been a sincere honour and privilege to serve this community and have the opportunity to be part of a great team, including all the hard working City staff,” Saunders said. “We’ve built a strong foundation for the future of Colwood.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Stage on Fire Blue Bridge artistic director brings back his classic musical Natalie North News staff

It’s been 25 years since Brian Richmond first staged the classic Canadian musical Fire. Now he’s bringing it to the Capital Region for the first time. Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre’s presentation of Fire marks the eighth mounting of the show for Richmond, who originally produced the Paul Ledoux and David Young script in Thunder Bay in 1985. Richmond is directing, helped by music direction from composer Bruce Ruddell. “It’s never failed to ignite ecstatic enthusiasm from the audience,” said Richmond, producing artistic director for Blue Bridge. “(The fact) this is the first production in Victoria (is surprising), given its 26-year history of success across the country.”

Fire draws on the relationship of 50s and 60s rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis and his real-life cousin, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, through telling the fictional story of brothers Cale and Herchel Blackwell. Set over three decades ending in 1980, the story follows the lives of Cale (played by Zachary Stevenson), Herschel (Jacob Richmond) and the woman they love, Molly King (Celine Stubel). Show-goers can expect an entertaining evening of gospel classics and 50s rock music played by Al Sabourin on lead guitar, Steve Duben on bass and Malcolm Cooley on drums, in a show with deeper undercurrents. “What concerned the playwright and myself was the tendency for certain right-wing fundamentalist groups to become involved in the political process in the United States and Canada,” Richmond said. “We were concerned about that erosion of separation between church and state. I think (audiences) are going to enjoy it a great deal and find it relevant to our times.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Great balls of fire ■ Fire, staged by the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre, opens tomorrow (Aug. 4) at 8 p.m. and thereafter runs Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. at the McPherson Playhouse. Matinees at 2 p.m. are scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays plus Wednesday, Aug. 10. ■ Tickets range from $33.25 to $42.75 and are available through the McPherson Box office at 250-386-6121 or online at www.rmts.bc.ca. ■ The production runs until Aug. 14 and is part of Blue Bridge Theatre’s 2011 people’s choice season.

his bumper. On lap five, Wade took over the lead with Smith holding on to the second spot but on lap nine drivers were not quite so lucky as Parkinson went around maybe with a little help. Everyone behind checked up and some damage was done to Dan Myers and Aaron Wilkie’s machines as Wade had started to open a good lead. On the restart, Wade again got a good jump and went back to the lead as Cody Aumen made his way into second.

Western Speedway hosts the next race of 2011 for the competitive Late Model & Stock Car Series on August 6th. Last season, Ryan Wade was a force to reckon with as he won six Feature events, including five in succession to close out the season. This season Wade continues to be a force as he has won two Features in a row with Kirt Rompain behind the wheel for the first event.

On a later restart Wade had Aumen on his outside and these two drivers traded the lead with Aumen actually leading lap twenty-four and five. Wade got the inside groove when Aumen baubled just a bit and regained the lead on lap twenty-six. Wade went unchallenged to the chequered flag with Aumen, Wilkie, Parkinson, and Cottam rounding out the top Brent Morris in his Late Model #29 car makes his move. five positions. This is the third win for the #95 car with Kirt Rompain with one victory and Wade taking Sam Hunt and Billy Stidston led fifteen cars to the green flag for fifty laps the last two. Interestingly enough this is the second time Aumen has chased of racing for the Stock Car Feature event and it didn’t take long for the action Wade to the flag in this highly competitive Series. to begin. On the very first lap, Hunt spun out in front of the whole field with everyone going high and low to avoid a massive pileup. Everyone made it This Series should again be very competitive and as close as it has been through where ever there was a hole to get around and it didn’t even warrant over the last several years and on any given night any one of several drivers a yellow flag.

Peak Performance Project launching pad for acts Emma Prestwich News staff

She may only be in the Top 20, but Ashleigh Eymann feels like she’s already won. The 27-year-old hip-hop and soul performer, who has played around venues Victoria for almost a decade, is one of 20 finalists in this year’s Peak Performance Project, a Music B.C.funded competition that gives B.C. indie artists a chance to win big prizes and a platform to showcase their talent. It’s also a chance for the musicians to learn how to market themselves. Eymann had no idea she’d be picked and was initially worried she wouldn’t measure up to more “established” artists. “It warmed my heart. I feel like they were basing it on my potential,” she said. “They saw something in my music they wanted to cultivate.” Winning is secondary, Eymann said – she’s just grateful for the chance to gain exposure and industry know-how. The finalists were picked from a pool of 360 applicants, and assembled July 1 to play a 20-minute set at the Surrey Canada Day celebrations. On Aug. 26, they’ll head to Princeton, B.C. for a five-day boot camp on the music business. The next stage is a string of shows in Vancouver, where the finalists will be cut to 10, then five and eventually three. There is almost $250,000 in prize money available. Instead of a catty, Battle of the Bands-like atmosphere, Eymann said she feels a real “family energy” among the other finalists and Music B.C. judges. “It’s a huge support system of local musicians,” she said. Each finalist was given $5,000 last month to use at their discretion – some made viral videos, one artist used it for gas. Bob D’Eith, executive director of Music B.C., said artists are judged on how effectively they use the money. While Eymann is a seasoned performer, she thinks she has yet to really use social media to connect with

her fans and promote herself. “I feel like I could learn a lot in terms of creating myself in an industry where it’s all do-ityourself. I think this will give me the kick

that I need.” Other Victoria-based acts in the running for the prize money are Acres of Lions, Avairis, Current Swell, Lindsay Bryan and Maurice. Vancouver radio

station 100.5 The Peak gives heavy radio play to local acts, and plays a big role in promoting the finalists’ music. “Some of our artists are a bit spoiled,” said D’Eith.

Ashleigh Eymann is one of 20 finalists in the Peak Performance Project.

In the three years the project has run, it has helped launch the careers of Island artists like Kyprios, Vince Vaccaro and Said the Whale. intern@vicnews.com

West Shore officer uses vacation to build a classroom in Tanzania Const. Mike Robinson Home province: Saskatchewan Years of service: 8 Years with West Shore detachment: 2

est Shore RCMP Const. Mike Robinson, a former teacher, has traded in his textbooks for tools after heading to a school in Africa this summer. Mike and his wife, Liisa Robinson, travelled to Tanzania for a month starting early July to help build a new classroom and playground at an orphanage in Arusha, a city with a population of about 1.3 million in the northern part of the country, near the Kenyan border. “We heard about the need for help from some former Rick Stiebel colleagues who went over West Shore Serge there to do some work at the orphanage last summer,” said Mike, who taught school for nine years before deciding to join the RCMP. “They put a lot of effort into organizing this.” Mike and Liisa, a counsellor at Camosun College, are using their vacation time and covering their expenses for the trip so all of the money they raise will go toward improvements at the orphanage. They have been raising funds through sales of a calendar featuring photos of some of the 120 kids between the age of two and 16 who live there. They were both touched by the generosity of the Colwood Dental Group for a donation of toothbrushes and hygiene kits. “Items like that are very expensive there,” noted Liisa, who said the couple leapt at the opportunity to travel to Africa. “We love to travel and we’re really keen to go,” Liisa said. “Travelling to Africa to help children at an orphanage was too good to pass up. It’s a little humbling that so many people we’ve talked to look at it as a great thing to do because we see it as something that will be rewarding for us on so many levels. “I’m sure we’ll come back with a different perspective on the challenges people face in other parts of the world, things we take for granted here in Canada, and that’s important to both of us. We’ll probably learn more from the kids than we could ever hope to teach them.” While Mike said they enjoyed previous trips to Thailand and Cambodia, he anticipates that their time in Africa will be quite different than their previous experiences. “I’m looking forward to it as a new adventure, living out of a backpack for a month, living fru-

One of the appeals is that the money we raise here goes a lot further there. I think we can do a lot with what we’ve raised so far.” Profits from the calendar sales and online donations have netted $1,600 so far, a total the Robinsons hope will grow. “Everyone at the (West Shore)

Can glasses weaken my eyes? There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientific basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes becomes less flexible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably. Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postponement or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efficiency and even one’s safety.

Referee an NHL prospect

Zebra sightings To move up to the next level, an official has to get recommended. In Knorr’s case, Hall was tipped off by former BCHL director of officiating Frank Broeders. “Broeders phoned me and said Knorr has an incredible skill set, give him a look,” Hall said. “We evaluate skating, judgement, and comportment. If they exceed in those three areas, we put them into a program (Knorr is in).” Getting noticed is the hardest part, Hall said. “Essentially, you have to be the equivalent of the No. 1 draft choice at the BCHL level, then again at the WHL level, then you have to prove it again at the AHL level.”

Linesman-turned-ref on journey to NHL

Scaling back without ECHL

Travis Paterson News staff

At one time Trent Knorr was the greenest linesman in pro hockey, breaking up ECHL fights as a 17-year-old. “Back then it was pretty scary,” he recalled. “I was worried about pissing (players) off. You want everyone to be your friend. I made my fair share of mistakes, I know that.” That was seven years ago. Knorr is 24 now and has risen through the junior ranks all the way to the top, working the 2010 Memorial Cup. But as Knorr climbed, the window to a shot as an NHL linesman became smaller and smaller. His ECHL experience helps, but it’s in junior where the NHL officiating crew scout future prospects. Knorr is part of a select few who’ve been selected and “fasttracked” for a career as an NHL official. The NHL brass are big on him. The problem is they don’t need linesmen. In the next 10 years only a few linesmen will be hired by the NHL but the league could be hiring as many as 10 refs in the next five years. So Knorr switched to referee. “When Knorr started refereeing that piqued our interest,” said Bob Hall, the director of the NHL’s scouting and development of officials. Instead of watching the puck for offsides, Knorr watches for high-sticks and head

As linesmen, Kirk Van Helvoirt and Trent Knorr have worked plenty of ECHL games at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre over the years. Knorr is on track to the NHL. shots. He just finished his first season as a referee doing 45 games in the Western Hockey League and one in the ECHL. “It’s rare to see a switch from linesman to referee, but at that young of an age, Knorr can do it,” said Kirk Van Helvoirt, a veteran linesman and friend who has worked alongside Knorr. Van Helvoirt, 33, is also highly regarded, having worked this year’s Doyle Cup between the B.C. and Alberta junior-A champions. “If you’re a linesman, then just about 100 per cent of the time, that’s it, you’re a linesman (for good),” Van Helvoirt said. “It’s not like switching from forward to defence. It’s two different jobs.” But Knorr did it and he did it successfully enough that, as a rookie, he refereed the second round of this year’s WHL playoffs. “We liked Knorr as a linesman, but there just isn’t any opportunities coming up,” Hall said. “He knew he’d have a better chance to make the NHL.” Under Hall’s watchful eyes, Knorr began the year refereeing the annual NHL rookie

camp in Penticton last August. “I never thought I was going to be refereeing but (WHL director of officiating) Kevin Muench called me last summer and asked me about refereeing and hired me as both just to try it out this year,” Knorr said. “It seems to have panned out. That and I like it.” Should he crack the NHL, Knorr would join fellow Victoria native Lonnie Cameron, one of the league’s 33 linesmen. There are 40 referees. This year Knorr will referee full time in the WHL and BCHL, as well as the ECHL when his schedule allows. Eventually he’ll make the jump to the American Hockey League, the NHL’s top farm-league, a move that is less of a change for a ref than it is for a player. “The WHL has a really good history of training NHL refs,” Hall said. “They get used to travel, used to working large venues and most of all, used to the pressure. So when they go to the AHL the only difference is they’re dealing with men.”

WESTSHORE U-LOCK MINI STORAGE

The departure of the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings means a loss of 30 to 35 games for Van Helvoirt. The minor-pro league liked to have a stable of officials in each town rather than travel them around, meaning Van Helvoirt would dress for more games at Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre than many of the suitcase-toting Victoria Salmon Kings. The WHL, on the other hand, prefers to have a variety of officials on the ice. Now settling into an office career and the father of a 19-month-old daughter, the move suits him fine. However, for anybody coming up through the junior refereeing ranks in Victoria, they’ll be dealing with Van Helvoirt. “I’ll continue to work BCHL games, with some travel, and as a supervisor for junior B and major midget officials here in town,” he said. When Van Helvoirt was in his early 20s he too had NHL dreams, but things got in the way. One of them being the cost of travel to work games for the Western League – a key stepping stone. Until recently, the league wasn’t paying for travel off the Island. “I knew guys who travelled to the mainland for a weekend’s worth of games. They’d sleep in their cars (to make it profitable),” Van Helvoirt said. “It wasn’t uncommon. I made the choice to work on my (office) career. You can be the best ref or linesman but someone has to like you.”

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Water conservation tip 4: Stop the leaks. Most people are actively finding ways to conserve water. You can make a difference too. Even a small leak in a hose or connection can waste up to 1,000 litres of water a month. Check your hoses and connections regularly and repair leaks as soon as you find them.
