Youth job service faces end Funding in limbo for West Shore Pathway Project Edward Hill News staff

A West Shore youth employment agency is celebrating a bittersweet 10-year anniversary amid fears it will shut down at the end of the week if federal funding doesn’t come through. Worklink Employment Society’s Pathway Project has helped hundreds of troubled or struggling West Shore teens and young adults sharpen their life skills and land good jobs. Pathway’s staff Jen Harrison and Randy Waldie face being laid off today (June 22), the day the agency’s funding contract expires with Service Canada. Worklink has given notice to the landlord of 847 Goldstream Ave. that it may vacate the office it has held for eight years. Worklink is hopeful funding will still materialize, that the contract sign-off in Ottawa is simply delayed due to summer holidays. But Pathway employees say federal contract renewals have never been delayed this long and they worry funding could be lost as the federal government looks to cut spending. “The positive thing is we haven’t been told the contract won’t be signed — usually you are told when it’s not going to be signed,” said Janice Booth, assistant director of Worklink. “We haven’t heard either way. We are hopeful it is on a desk (in Ottawa).” Waldie and Harrison say that even if funding comes through at the last minute, they’ll still likely be laid off and that the ser-

help youth secure meaningful employment. There is no quick fix for this. It’s about building relationships and that takes time.” Over the years the Pathway Project — a free 16-week program during which clients are paid minimum wage — has helped at least 400 young people find jobs in construction, retail, auto repair, hotels and landscaping. Of the 80 per cent who graduate from the program, 97 per cent land good jobs and break the cycle of minimum wage jobs, Waldie and Harrison say.

On a quiet Langford cul-de-sac, neighbours are watching out for each other. A new road sign identifies the street as a Block Watch zone where suspicious activities are reported to police. Gary Blechingberg, the selfappointed block captain on Carmanah Place, hopes it will help deter property crimes that have peppered the area. “When I went around asking people to be involved in this, everybody had a story,” Blechingberg said, citing a several vehicle break-ins, including one where a brazen thief found a garage door opener in a car and used it to gain access to the home. “Now if something happens we can tell everybody else.” Then neighbours can take extra precautions in case the offender returns as well as report to police if they saw anything out of the ordinary around the time of the crime. West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz says the program is known to reduce the rate of break and enters, especially as more blocks join the program. “We offer training on how to report a crime and what to do to keep your home and property safe,” Rochlitz said. “Even just having the sign up on a street is a deterrent to crime.”

Pathway Project’s Randy Waldie and Jen Harrison will vacate their Langford office and be laid off today unless federal funding for the 10-year youth employment service comes through.

“Our No. 1 priority is to help youth secure meaningful employment. There is no quick fix for this.” –Jen Harrison Pathway Project vice to youth will be interrupted. “No one knows from the local to the national level if the federal government will stay in the youth employment business,” Waldie said. “No one has given us any indication of anything coming down the pipeline.” Losing Pathway would be a

major blow to the already scant youth services on the West Shore. Teens and young adults who move through the program cope with barriers such as mental health issues, substance abuse, emotional abuse or learning disabilities. The program reaches beyond writing resumes and honing interview skills. “Some (clients) have no place to live, or no food or clothing,” Harrison says. “Many can’t manage their lives and have no bank accounts, no B.C. ID. Some youth may have criminal records or struggle with addiction, and have few supportive adults. “Our No. 1 priority is to

Before bringing the provincial Block Watch to the area this summer, West Shore RCMP had offered its own Neighbourhood Watch program with the same mandate, but it slipped out of date with nobody to ensure contact information for blocks were kept current. RCMP auxiliary Const. Judy Pryce is co-ordinating the new program and a dozen new auxiliary officers are going through training to assist her. Eventually the old Neighbourhood Watch groups will be switched over and new areas solicited for participation. Pryce said besides offering greater security to an area, Block Watch participants get a discount on their home insurance, and it gives neighbours a reason to get to know each other. “Each individual block is unique, and the program is really whatever

the group wants to make of it,” she said, noting that her own View Royal block started holding regular neighbourhood barbecues since joining the former watch program four years ago. At a minimum, the block captain and co-captain are responsible for holding one annual meeting of the block and keeping a current map with contact information for everyone in their area who has voluntarily opted into the program. RCMP use the captains to disseminate information such as crime statistics. Eventually emergency preparedness information from the fire halls may also go out through the captains.

Capital Region mulls burning garbage to generate power Natalie North News staff

Island communities phased out incinerating garbage decades ago, but the Capital Regional District has put burning back on the agenda. Discussion is at a very preliminary stage of planning for the future of the area’s landfill, but Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said it’s important enough to get the public involved now. “I’m not sure the public knows about this,” Fortin said. “Let’s face it, we’re (talking about) burning garbage.” The CRD board had a chance to mull over a $60,000-feasibility report of energy recovery options and identified possible issues around the financial benefits and public perception of incinerating household waste, and possibly sewage. Metro Vancouver is further along in the planning process for a new waste-to-energy incineration facility, which would be built in Gold River on northern Vancouver Island. The Ministry of Environment is expected to decide this week whether it will approve the Lower Mainland plan, which involves barging waste to Gold River. Transporting waste from Greater Victoria, Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley for incineration in Gold River was also considered in the report. “We’re nowhere near where the province wants us to be for recycling before they’ll even look at incineration for garbage (in the CRD),” said Saanich Coun. Judy Brownoff. B.C. has a 70 per cent waste diversion rate goal. The Capital Region is currently at 43 per cent diversion. The Tri-Regional District Solid Waste Study, which looks at the Island from Nanaimo south, was funded by the province and prepared by environmental company Aecom. The study looks at how to turn waste into liquid ethanol, which could be treated to make electricity and at a newer technology called “plasma gasification.” Also considered was a stand alone mass burn facility in the CRD. A tri-regional waste-to-energy facility would receive an estimated 200,000 tonnes per year of waste. Hartland Landfill currently receives 140,000 tonnes annually and is projected to serve the region until 2035. CRD staff will incorporate the study’s findings into the core area liquid waste management plan and report back on Oct. 12 to the liquid waste management committee.

Hundreds of nuggets of reclaimed glass and beads make up a peacock mosaic, one of the pieces of artwork on display at Jennifer Kivari’s Metchosin studio as part of the Stinking Fish Studio Tour running July 23 to Aug. 1.

Art blooms from odds and ends Summer Stinking Fish Studio Tour starts Saturday Charla Huber News staff

Starting with an old shelf or piece of a cabinet, Metchosin artist Jennifer Kivari readies herself to create a work of art. Always on her mind is recycling items by adding them into her creations. Kivari’s medium is mosaic and she spends much of her time gathering materials and odds and ends that some day will be glued onto one of her masterpieces. From old toilet seats to stale macaroni noodles,

Kivari finds inspiration everywhere and in everything. “I start with a (wood) base and inspiration,” Kivari says. As Kivari stands in her studio, a gutted and remodelled hay loft in her barn, she is surrounded by her mosaics. “My art is definitely my journey. They are my voice,” she says, explaining that each piece reminds her of her life and looking back on past work is similar to reading old journals. While Kivari is the primary artist in the home, she gets help from her family along the way. Her two teenagers often help gather materials and spend hours grouting pieces. Kivari first dabbled in mosaic art using pottery clay tiles in 2005. “I found I was very limited (just using

tiles),” she says. It was then Kivari began introducing other items into her work, such as automotive glass and old lamps and feathers. “If I have to buy items, I try to get them from second hand stores that put money back into the community.” After all the items are gathered, Kivari lays them out on her wood base until she finds an arrangement she likes. To seal in the items and fill in any empty spaces and cracks, Kivari covers her art with grout. Working quickly, Kivari cleans the grout off the glass and other items on the pieces before it dries. “I use a magnifying glass to see if I have missed any,” she said. Over the years Kivari has gotten creative with mate-

rials and how she creates images. One piece has pennies flattened on railroad tracks, and arranged in the shape of a mermaid's tail. Kivari’s studio is a part of this summer’s Stinking Fish Studio Tour, July 23 to August 1. There are 19 studios participating in the tour from East Sooke and Metchosin. The studios are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. On the tour’s launch date on July 23, Kivari and her family are hosting a “Celebration of Gratitude” from 11:30 to 4 p.m. with live music, dancing and lemonade. Kivari’s studio is located at 941 Arden Rd. in Metchosin. For more information on the Stinking Fish Studio Tour go to www.stinkingfishstudiotour.com. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan came in third in the NDP leadership vote, but came in second when it came to spending and fundraising on his leadership bid. Elections BC released the NDP leadership finance reports Wednesday, which detail candidate donations and expenses over the four month campaign

to woo registered NDP members. Horgan spent $135,895 and brought in $119,443. The bulk of his spending — similar to all candidates — was on advertising, consultants and fees to the B.C. NDP party. Donors contributed $119,443 to Horgan’s campaign, including almost $77,000 from individual donors. Trade unions ($23,950) and corporations ($15,500) came a distant second and third. High-profile Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix, who won the leadership, outspent his friendly rivals by a wide margin. Dix spent $204,000 on his

campaign. He raised $197,600, with individuals donating $132,639. Unions and corporations supported Dix almost equally, with cumulative donations of $33,000 and $31,300 respectively. Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth came second in the leadership race, and spent about $112,500 and had $107,350 in donations. Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons brought in $22,587. Harry Lali brought in about $9,830. See contributions.electionsbc. gov.bc.ca for financial reports and donations for all political candidates and parties in B.C.

Lindsay Sullivan, former fiancée of Langford-raised Myles Mansell, in front of the Portraits of Honour featuring the faces of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

Remembrance Day comes early with mural of the fallen Erin McCracken News staff

It's been five years since her fiancée, Bombardier Myles Mansell, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Thanks to a painted mural depicting the faces of Canadian military personnel killed in the wartorn nation since 2002, Lindsay Sullivan says her fiancé's memory will live on. "I'm always so grateful when I know that other people remember him too," said Sullivan. "The country remembers, not just me or his family." The face of the artillery reservist, who grew up in Langford and served with 5th Field Artillery Regiment at the Bay Street Armoury, is one of 155 painted on a 12-metre-long tribute that is touring the country. Mansell also had a street named after him this year in Langford in honour of his sacrifice. Ontario artist Dave Sopha is in the process of adding two more faces to his Portraits of Honour, which is travelling by tractor-trailer truck to the hometowns of the fallen. During it's day-long stop in Victoria on Monday, the tribute was unveiled following an emotional ceremony at the cenotaph on the legislative lawns in Victoria Monday afternoon — two weeks after Canada's combat operation in Afghanistan transitioned to a training mission. Saanich residents Jane and Richard Nuttall also lingered over the painted face of their son, Lt. Andrew Nuttall, killed in 2009. "As time passes, it is important that we do not forget that all we have achieved has come at a

price," said navy Capt. Craig Baines, commander of CFB Esquimalt. "It is important that we do not forget their names and what they have done for us." The army, navy and air force personnel killed in action, helped make a difference in the lives of the Afghanistan people, said Gene Clutchey, president of the Kinsmen Club of Victoria. Sponsored largely by Kin Canada, the mural tour began in Ontario in May and will return there in December. In addition to honouring those who died in Afghanistan, the initiative is helping the club achieve its $1.2-million goal to support a special military families fund. "It's important that (the fallen) are recognized and remembered and not just lost as a page in history," Clutchey said. The mural, which is now travelling through mainland B.C., will likely be permanently showcased in a museum after the tour ends, though that is still in the planning stages.

Big shoe results in four car crash A four car chain-reaction collision on the Trans-Canada Highway backed up traffic into Langford Tuesday afternoon. A southbound van rear-ended a truck as traffic slowed in a work zone past the Six Mile exit at about 1:50 p.m. Three other vehicles were damaged in the low-speed collisions and two people were sent

to hospital with minor injuries. “The driver of the van said her shoe not fit right, she tried to brake but couldn’t and collided with a vehicle and we had a chain reaction,” said West Shore RCMP Const. Harrison Teed. The same traffic control crew directing traffic around bridgework near the Colwood

exit acted fast to set up pylons and signs at the crash scene. Flaggers stayed on the job and kept southbound traffic moving through one lane. “We were in the process of taking everything down, so we switched it over for an accident scene,” said Larry Monterey, with SPR, a division of Mainroad contracting.

“The youth will tell you (the Pathway Project) is no easy way to make $8 per hour,” Harrison said. “We look at what keeps them stuck. They get long lasting self-reliance and learn things beyond help with a resume.” “You can’t just throw information at people and send them on their way,” Waldie adds. “There are youth in the community who are really suffering and we’ve proved this is an excellent resource.” Without a youth drop-in centre on the West Shore, the Pathway Project’s Goldstream Avenue office acts as an informal and safe place for past and current students to hang out and seek advice from adults. Many Pathway grads return to mentor students and to share stories of survival and growth. “They do a lot of behaviour work with people with (attention deficit disorder),” said past Pathway student Alex Andersen, 21. “It’s valuable. A lot of people found jobs that suit them or found out what it takes to get working.”

Family fights to save grandmother with MS Sam Van Schie News staff

Half paralyzed and barely able to speak, Heather Rose smiles watching her two grandsons from a reclining chair. The eldest, just shy of his second birthday, has learned to switch on the suction tube she needs dry her mouth because she’s unable to swallow. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis nine years ago, her health slowly deteriorated to the point that she can only stay in her Langford home with 24-hour care, much of which comes from family members. But seeing what the controversial “liberation procedure” has done for others in her position, the 52-year-old hopes she too can be set free from the grip MS holds on her life. The prospect has her familyturned-caregivers taking on the new role of fundraisers. They need to raise over $20,000 for medical expenses and travel to a hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, one of the few places prepared to treat MS patients in such late stages of the disease.

The procedure, similar to angioplasty, opens blocked blood vessels to ease a condition present in most MS cases called chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency. It’s been seen to relieve the paralysis and loss of physical sensations that come with MS. Last month the federal government committed to covering the cost of clinical trails of the procedure in Canada, but Heather’s health can’t wait for the procedure to be approved here. “She needs to get there (to the clinic) as soon as possible. We would have liked to have her there yesterday,” says Heather’s sister Linda Talbot, calling the procedure one of the last hopes for treatment. The family has stood by while Heather cycled through chemotherapy, drug treatments and holistic remedies to manage the disease. “Tried everything,” Heather says, her voice comes out of her like a gurgle and she strains to repeat the words until her 26-year-old daughter Alicia Rose understands and says them back to her.

This Saturday, July 23, the Rose family is holding a barbecue and car wash in the parking lot of Rona from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with all the money going towards her treatment. Later in the month they’ll have a silent auction, which they’re looking for businesses to contribute items for. Between events they’ll also be collecting bottles in some neighbourhoods, after delivering flyers to homes to let residents know when they’ll be coming around. “We’re hoping to have the money we need by September,” Talbot says, noting Heather will aim to come out to events to thank everyone who donates. “We’re grateful for everyone’s generosity. ...This procedure is going to make a huge difference in her life and ours, to have her back to normal again.

OUR VIEW

Silly season getting closer H

alfway through summer, most people aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election. But if you’re thinking about running as a candidate, the weeks are running out to begin planning your campaign. Judging by recent elections, many municipalities in Greater Victoria are in need of more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters. If you care about the municipality where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name forward as a candidate for council, mayor or school board trustee. Qualifications are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C. you’re pretty much OK to run. You’ll need to keep track of electionrelated expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you. There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running. It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail. Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full-gear after Labour Day. The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues affecting our communities when the weather is warm and we’re busy pondering upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues. We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us. Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival. If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives. What do you think?

Principle two: Remember your home (or car) is your space. This implies there are times when we simply request our kids to take their quibbling somewhere else.

as a democratic value. In today’s world whenever there is a major event, it is always a target, and there is a risk of violence by those in society that choose to do harm to others, whatever the situation they happen to be protesting. I think the key words in the article are “predominantly law-abiding.” The fact is, that in a protest group there may be individuals ranging from law-abiding citizens, to harmless wackos, to moderate trouble makers, to terrorists. There is a fine line between the law-abiding majority and the minority who employ violence. The police have a singularly unenviable task in trying to identify that minority and attempt to prevent their actions. One could argue that to place a spy within a protest group before an incident is something we expect of our police. How else could they effectively keep us safe? As long as the protest remains law-abiding the police take no action and there is no harm to our demo-

When children complain about their trials with their siblings, listen and reflect what you hear, acknowledge their frustrations.

How is taxpayer money being spent? Re: Young dog left overheating in West Shore RCMP vehicle, News, July 13, 2011. The whole situation that took place with the officer leaving his working dog in a hot vehicle for many hours is both disturbing and disgraceful. But we have to look deeper into the story.

As a taxpayer, I would like to hear from his superiors, how it is possible that any public servant has enough guts to use vehicles, that we are paying for, for their personal enjoyment or transportation. At the same time, I hope that was not on working hours as he spent the day fishing. There really is no excuse, and I know there will be an attempt at a sympathy story, or cover up, but we know better. It would be nice to hear an honest explanation.

After all, we are all “his bosses,” and we are paying him quite well for the job he is assigned. If an employee of mine were to be caught using my business vehicle for enjoyment, or casual driving, I would fire him on the spot. But I guess in the case of this officer, it’s OK to take an ambulance, a fire truck, a police cruiser, perhaps even a city bus, for a family road trip. Stefan Mieczkowski Langford

Travel protected from the unexpected. You may be surprised to learn that medical care outside of B.C. can be very expensive especially in the United States. For example, the average cost of emergency in-patient hospital care in the United States often exceeds $1,000 USD per day, and can even be as high as $10,000 USD per day for intensive care. And since Health Insurance BC (formerly MSP) may cover as little as 10 per cent of the medical expenses you could face when travelling outside B.C., the Ministry travel insurance of Health Services with strongly advises Janella buying additional Wilson medical insurance even if you only plan to leave the country for one day.

It’s wise to check the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada website at www.voyage. gc.ca. Select your destination and the Entry/Exit Requirements section will provide you with the travel insurance requirements. If you have confirmed coverage through your credit card or extended benefits program, be sure to obtain the proper documentation to meet the entry requirements of your destination(s).

Many B.C. residents already have limited travel insurance coverage through their credit card or employer extended benefits program. However, this coverage often doesn’t have a high enough dollar limit or cover you for the number of days per trip you require. Know before you go. Reviewing your travel insurance is increasingly important as some countries are now monitoring travellers’ coverage prior to crossing their borders. In fact, it was recently announced that several European countries are advising travellers to be prepared to show proof of medical coverage and may also impose a minimum coverage requirement.

If you find that your current coverage is inadequate to completely protect you from the financial devastation an accident or injury could cause, investigate additional coverage like emergency excess medical insurance, to be protected and enjoy peace- of-mind during your travels. Remember to purchase your coverage before leaving B.C. Coverage is available through private insurers, such as BCAA, who offer at least five million dollars in emergency medical coverage.

Editorial perpetuates term’s misuse Re: Conservatism creep evident, Our View, July 13, 2011. We see again how that triumvirate of the “natural governing party” (federal Liberals), the media, and academe have succeeded very well in brainwashing the Canadian public — as well as the editors of this community paper — into believing that anything arbitrary, underhanded or repressive can be legitimately labelled as “conservatism.” That’s what last week’s editorial called the police inserting spies among law-abiding citizens travelling to legal and peaceful protests during the Olympic events in Vancouver. Why in the name of logic and rational thinking is such activity called “creeping conservatism”? It repeats the hackneyed argument that somehow identifies repressive activity on the part of government agencies as being a right-wing (read: conservative) thing. When is this faulty paradigm of political reality ever going to be laid to rest? We’ve seen stunning examples of repressive activity from all kinds of regimes throughout the world, where the most apt adjective to describe their activities is not “left wing” or “right wing,” but authoritarian or totalitarian. Even unconstitutional is a more appropriate term. Barry Gaetz Victoria

Rail bridge moves closer to demolition Roszan Holmen News staff

Eight companies have pre-qualified for the job to deconstruct the Johnson Street rail bridge, which has been suspended in the raised position since April due to safety concerns. All are B.C. companies, and two are from Victoria: Ruskin Construction and Formula Pile and Bridge. The job also entails relocating Telus communication lines. Next, the City will issue tenders for the project, estimated at $1 million. The work is expected to begin in September. Other aspects of the $77-million bridge replacement project are also progressing. In advance of constructing the new bridge directly north of the current one, the City of Victoria has acquired waterfront land from

Transport Canada. The 4,316-squarefoot property was purchased for $997,000. Also in the works is a photography project to document the 87-year-old bridge, and a public art project to commemorate it using a section of the decommissioned bridge. The city’s art in public places committee will send out a call for artists in 2013. The location is still to be determined, but the goal is to install the art piece on time for the opening of the new bridge in four years. Finally, the City’s lease to Via Rail for the train station and parking lot, situated at the bridge's downtown approach, terminates July 27. The station building will likely be demolished, but the city is looking at options to move it, said city spokesperson Katie Josephson. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Busker Yuki Veda focuses on juggling with flames on Saturday at the Victoria International Buskers Festival held at Ship Point and on Langley Street. The festival continues until July 24.

Busker fest forges on in poor weather Roszan Holmen News staff

The gloomy weather cancelled six buskers’ shows Sunday night, but crowds otherwise stuck out the drizzle and rain to support the inaugural Victoria International Buskers Festival over last weekend. “Our stages were packed beyond viewing,” said event organizer John Vickers. When a downpour began midway through a show by Australian performers Flame Oz, none of the 200 people on the bleachers moved, he added.

“People seemed to be really wowed,” Vickers said. “I’ve been inundated with people telling me they’re blown away by the quality of the acts.” The festival launched July 15 and runs every day through this weekend, from noon to 10 p.m. at various locations downtown. Some better weather would help merchandise sales, however, Vickers acknowledged. So far, the festival has sold between 4,000 and 5,000 programs, at $2 each.

It’s not over till the teenagers sing SMUS youth opera program offers unique experience for musical teens Charla Huber News staff

Teenagers with larger-than-life voices will soon be belting out stellar notes. About 15 talented singers have signed on to the St. Michaels University School summer voice academy and will perform a youth opera in Victoria next week. The cast includes youth from across B.C. and Alberta ranging from Grades 8 to 12. “Most of them are very accomplished singers,” said Dawn Wilson, director of education extension and international programs at SMUS. In applying for the program, students submitted audio recordings of themselves performing several pieces of music. “They were selected based on their musical ability and singing

Instructor Joseph Bulman (left, with sunglasses) leads participants in the Youth Opera program at St. Michaels University School in “The Singing Actor” workshop on the school fields. quality,” Wilson said. While this is the first time the youth opera program has been offered at the school, it’s the third year for the academy of voice. “This is quite unique (to be) learning about this genre,” she said. Students are learning and rehearsing Pandora’s Locker, an opera sung in English and based on the Greek myth, Pandora’s Box. The story is set in a high school,

making it easier for the singers to relate to it, Wilson added. Surrey resident Dylan Braico, 18, is one of two male students in the group, but is the only male boarding at the school during the program. “I am not going to lie, it’s nice being the only guy,” he said. He admitted he’s still a bit intimidated approaching a large group of girls. Braico has performed on stage

most of his life, starting with his debut as the lead in The Muffin Man at age six. He has a vocal coach and enjoys singing jazz and anything by Frank Sinatra. Even with that level of experience he has never studied opera, or thought about it much. But everything changed at a recent competition. At the Fraser Valley Music Festival in April, Braico sang “The

Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera. Once of the judges was Joanne Hounsell. She was moved to tears listening him sing and ultimately offered him a scholarship to the youth opera program at SMUS. “I thought he had a beautiful, natural talent,” said Hounsell, artistic director at SMUS. “I want to encourage kids who have career voices, but they need to get a foundation.” At first he was wary of joining a group of teens who have studied the craft for years, but eventually he was persuaded to join the group. “This is a great experience and a lot of good training,” he said. Pandora’s Locker performances go July 29 at 7:30 p.m. and July 30 at 2:30 p.m. at the Philip T. Young Recital Hall at the University of Victoria. Tickets are $20.50 for adults and $17.50 for students and seniors, available at the McPherson Box Office (250-386-6121) or online at www.rmts.bc.ca. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Children’s choir excels in Austria

Victoria group captures top marks at elite choral competition Don Descoteau News staff

The experience of singing in gothic churches and touring around Austria was the meat and potatoes for Victoria Children’s Choir members. Winning their category at the recent Summa Cum Laude International Music Festival in Vienna was the gravy. “The win was only part of it. The win was something that wasn’t expected, but it certainly was wonderful,” said choir artistic director Madeleine Humer. “We went into this to learn and to grow and see what we were (capable of) as musicians and as

an ensemble.” The Victoria singers, who were the lone choir representing Western Canada at the competition, performed six pieces in all. Two were compositions common to all choirs in the category of treble choir – the term dates before the Second World War and refers to children or youth voices in a higher register – and four were of their own choosing. The VCC made a particular impact on judges with their rendition of “Epitaph for Moonlight,” by Canadian composer Murray Schaefer. It helped give the 37-member Victoria group firstplace marks and an overall grade of ‘outstanding.’ They also per-

formed the piece during the gala awards night for the festival. The group, primarily in their early to mid-teens, competed in the 30-and-under age division. The bumping up in age was due to the inclusion of four young men who had graduated from the VCC concert choir program. Humer said the four did a magnificent job singing falsetto parts throughout, despite having long since experienced changes to their voices. The Victoria Children’s Choir begins its 11th season of operation in September. Visit www. victoriachildrenschoir.ca for more information. editor@oakbaynews.com

Jr. ’Rocks playing like it’s 2013 Travis Paterson News staff

This year’s junior Victoria Shamrocks team was supposed to be a work-in-progress, a proving ground for a championship run in 2012, if not 2013. But the way the Jr. ’Rocks swept the Nanaimo Timbermen in two games last week has some wondering whether this team might be ready to do some damage in this season’s playoffs. On Saturday the Shamrocks host the top dog Coquitlam Adanacs in round two of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs, 5 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. “We love the chance to play Coquitlam. The pressure is on them and it’s exactly the spot for us to be in,” said coach Jordan Sundher. The best-of-five series continues July 24 and 30 in Coquitlam

and returns to Colwood, 5 p.m. on July 31, if necessary. The Shamrocks eliminated the Nanaimo Timbermen in the first round. The Jr. ’Rocks ended a quick and tidy first-round sweep over Nanaimo with a 14-8 win on the road Thursday to win the best-ofthree series. Even popping Nanaimo in the first round for the second year in a row isn’t a surprise. It’s the efficiency with which the Shamrocks won that was unexpected. “For whatever reason we weren’t jelling that well in the first three quarters of the year,” Sundher said. “With so many rookies on the team, 15 of them — and 12 of them first year (1992-born) juniors — the team has (finally) come together.” The Shamrocks’ awakening is one that has Sundher, an ex-junior and senior Shamrock himself,

Colwood beauty queen lands role in Disney on Ice Charla Huber News staff

Colwood figure skater Chanelle Biggan has sidelined college plans for at least a year for a chance to become a princess. Enrolled for Camosun College in the fall, Biggan, 19, put her post-secondary education on hold when she was accepted as a skater on the Disney On Ice tour. While making it on the Disney tour and becoming a professional ice skater is a difficult feat, it’s something the members of the Juan de Fuca Skating Club have done before.

In 2009 two of its skaters landed gigs with Disney and two of its current coaches have also skated for Disney on Ice. Biggan’s coach, Annaliese Fargiarini, skated for Disney from 1994 to 2001. “I loved the travelling and performing,” Fargiarini said who performed across North America, Southeast Asia, Australia and South America. “Performance-wise I learned a lot. I learned to project my emotion and performance to the whole audience.” As a coach Fargiarini will miss Biggan, but said she is happy for

her student. “I am so proud of her. She is going to love it. Chanelle is a performer,” Fargiarini said. “She is technically consistent and well balanced.” While Biggan knew other skaters who’d skated for Disney, she never thought she’d ever tryout. The 2010 Miss Teen Southern Vancouver Island and national pageant competitor submitted an application on a whim and at the last minute. Included was a video of Biggan skating and showing off all her best jumps and spins. “Chanelle is very flexible, she can do things other skaters

can’t,” Fargiarini said. “She can hike her leg up over her head.” Disney hired Biggan as an ensemble dancer with the possibility of graduating to the understudy position of Princess Charlotte from the film, The Princess and the Frog. Biggan has figure skated for 14 years, five to seven days a week, so the rigorous schedule with Disney doesn’t scare her. She has competed in provincial and national figure skating championships. The teen will be performing with the Disney on Ice Dare to Dream show, touring across the U.S., including Florida, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania. She is scheduled to start a fiveweek rehearsal period in Florida next week, and then tour for the next 10 months. “I am so excited for this,” Biggan said. “I love the freedom on the ice.” sports@goldstreamgazette.com

excited but wondering if he could have done something different earlier in the season to get his team playing the way it is now. “We’ve got a mixed scoring punch, five or six guys who can put it in the net, which is much different than last year when (current Adanacs’ player) Casey Jackson was the go-to-guy on offence.” As long as the Shamrocks’ rookies are learning to play at the junior-A level the team’s future is bright. Their core of first-year players was part of the provincial intermediate-A championship last year and features transition starsin-the-making Jesse King and Kurtis Green, and the teams’ top attacker Brody Eastwood. “It’s just figuring out chemistry,” Sundher said.

Driver hopes to bite back at Indy race Travis Paterson News staff

With Edmonton earning a reputation as the mosquito capital of Canada this summer, race car driver Bill Okell says the only thing he’s itching for at this weekend’s Edmonton Indy is a win. Okell will race his rebuilt 1964 MGB in the July 24 grand touring sports car race, just a few hours ahead of the event’s headline Indy Car race. Throughout Okell’s race the grandstands will continue to fill, until as many as 40,000 people are watching later in the day. To keep the race fans happy the event organizers have ordered helicopters to drop anti-mosquito spray across the area. “If anything, it could end up making the track real sticky,” joked Okell. Long-time Victoria racer Okell will be joined on the track by Victoria’s Dave Cormier, though Okell’s car is graded GT4 and Cormier’s 2008 Porsche Cup Car – a factory version Porsche built for racing – is a GT1. They’ll share the track, but their results will be listed in separate standings. Okell is currently fourth in the GTU series points standings out of Mission Raceway, with Saanich’s Ian Mackie in sixth. Okell is also sitting first in California’s Nasport Lite, a semi-pro series run by the Sports Car Club of America including legendary tracks Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey and Sears Point Raceway in the Sonoma Valley. sports@vicnews.com

Ex-champ Sarah Kaufman now a contender for belt Travis Paterson News staff

With a win tonight, Sarah Kaufman gets a chance to win back what was once hers: the Strikeforce welterweight title. Victoria’s gift to mixed martial arts makes her Sin City fight debut tonight at Palms hotel and casino. Kaufman has won some close fights in her career but, for the most part the powerful striker has faced little adversity. That could change depending on the outcome of tonight’s match against Liz Carmouche at Strikeforce Challengers in Vegas. Both Kaufman and Carmouche are coming off losses to current welterweight (135-pounds) champion Marloes Coenen of the Netherlands. A win against Carmouche this week and Kaufman likely gets another shot at the title she lost to Coenen in October 2010. A loss for Kaufman could mean difficulty getting another bout on the Strikeforce circuit. Kaufman originally won the title by beating Takayo Hashi in February of 2010. Carmouche is an ex-U.S. marine who went undefeated, ripping off five straight wins in the past 15 months, until she stepped in as a replacement fighter in a title match against Coenen on

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Victoria golfers in swing of things A trio of South Island golfers will represent B.C. at the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in California, and a former University of Victoria Vike is competing in the Canadian Open Championship in Vancouver this weekend. Ex-Vikes’ golfer Mitch Evanecz of Red Deer, Alta., earned a spot in the Canadian Open at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club by winning a one-hole playoff victory on Monday. It’s the first Professional Golf Association tour event for the 25-year-old who graduated from UVic in 2010. A pair of 25-year-olds, Kevin Carrigan of Royal Colwood and Cory Renfrew of Cordova Bay golf courses join Craig Doell from the Victoria Golf Club as three of the five B.C. players participating in the 45th Pacific Coast championship, July 26 to 29, at the Martis Camp Club in Truckee, Calif.

In her last fight, Sarah Kaufman, right, dominated Japan’s Megumi Yabushita at the Armageddon Fighting Championship on April 2 at Bear Mountain Arena.

just 11 days notice in March. “Carmouche is a lot newer to the scene so it’s interesting and great to see someone make waves in such a short period of time,” Kaufman said prior to leading a class at ZUMA martial arts in Vic West last week. “Carmouche will be fastpaced but I should be able to use my striking and hopefully win.” Kaufman’s last fight was at Bear Mountain Arena on April 2 when she defeated Japan’s Megumi Yabushita by knockout at the Armageddon Fighting Championship. Kaufman’s last Strikeforce win was exactly one year ago on July 23, 2010. It was her only title defence, a knockout slam against Roxanne Modafferi that made ESPN’s top plays of the week. sports@vicnews.com played at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre and Juan de Fuca arena. The Whalers took gold in the bantam-B finals, 5-3 over the Port Coquitlam Saints. It was the Saints’ first defeat this year. Coquitlam defeated Port Coquitlam 5-1 for the bantam-A1 gold. Mackenzie edged Langley 3-2 for bantam-C gold. Westshore’s A1 squad fell to fourth, losing the bronze medal final to New Westminster, 7-4. But the Whalers did manage to win bronze in a match between the two organizations at the bantam-B level, prevailing 5-2. The Saanich Tigers took the bantam-A2 bronze, 9-4 over Chilliwack, and Cowichan No. 2 defeated Mission 8-7 for bantam-C bronze. Midget box lacrosse provincials began Wednesday (July 20) in Coquitlam and wrap up Sunday.

Tide advance to rugby final

A win at Parkland secondary clinched a berth for the Vancouver Island Rising Tide in the final of the men’s rugby U20 provincial competition. The Rising Tide survived a late surge of three tries by Fraser Valley to win 36-29 in Sidney on July 16. “(Fraser Valley) really gave us a scare,” Vancouver Island coach Ken Goodland said. “We really took our foot off the gas in the last bit there.” Scoring tries for the Rising Tide were Vaughn Gaston, Kapi Vataiki, Blake van Heynin, Corey Walker and Carlin Hamstra. Vancouver Island has two wins in the three-team tournament. The provincial final is July 30 in West Vancouver versus the winner of Fraser Valley and Vancouver.

Growth, HST help reduce B.C. deficit Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government finished the fiscal year this spring with a deficit of $309 million, nearly $1 billion less than what was forecast last fall. The savings came partly from extra

tax revenues generated by four-percent economic growth during 2010-11, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday in releasing the province’s audited public accounts. Some was realized from lower than expected spending in programs such as health care, and some came from extra

revenues collected through the harmonized sales tax. Falcon wasn’t able to say exactly how much extra revenue the HST brought in during its first year of operation. B.C. sales tax revenues are growing by about $600 million a year, partly due to the fact that provincial sales tax has been

extended to a variety of services as well as goods. B.C.’s gross domestic product is growing faster than the national average and consumer confidence is strong, so revenues from the former PST also would also have grown, Falcon said. And he noted it has been clear since the HST was introduced that it collects more revenue because of the broader tax base. “It is also a tax that generates greater economic activity, generates more job creation, and that in turn will drive more revenues to the government,” Falcon said. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the government is using “funny math” to produce a rosy picture of the B.C. economy. One reason the past year’s deficit is so much lower is that B.C. collected $769 million from Ottawa, the second half of its $1.6 billion “bribe money” for adopting the HST, he said. “People have a sense they are being played,” Ralston said. “They have an agenda, they want to ram the HST through and this is just one more instance of that.” Falcon warned that if the HST is rejected in the referendum that is currently underway, that will cost the province about $3 billion over the next three years. Half of that is to repay the federal government, and the rest is transition costs and extra HST revenue that won’t be collected. “We will have to manage that $3 billion hit, and the only way you can do that is either have larger deficits, which means borrowing more money and passing the bill onto future generations, or you can increase revenues, or you can reduce spending,” Falcon said. Because the provincial budget remained in deficit, B.C. cabinet ministers will not receive a 10 per cent holdback to their salaries for the 2010-11 fiscal year. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Men testing rifle scopes cause alarm in Saanich Two men brandishing long-barrelled pellet guns were arrested and released without charges Monday after a tense morning for Saanich police in Panama Flats. Police were called around 10:15 a.m. by an area resident reporting two men walking through the park carrying guns. Officers set up a containment in the area and quickly found the men, who were arrested without incident. “We were quite quickly able to realize they were pellet rifles, but they had scopes on them,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “From a distance, they’re certainly very realistic looking.” The pair told police they were trying to sight their rifles to the scopes. “This is not an appropriate activity in a park, nor are you allowed to do that in Saanich,” Jantzen said. “We take all situations like that very seriously until we can determine it’s not a real firearm.”
