Craigflower bridge to be replaced in 2012

Dennis Maloney, health and safety manager with Downs Construction, said getting air quality in Savory elementary back to safe levels is critical before kids are allowed back in the building. The first phase of the cleanup is expected to take two or three weeks.

Renewed traffic woes for Island Highway, Admirals area Sam Van Schie Kyle Slavin News staff

Craigflower Bridge will be torn down and replaced next summer. The timber trestle was built in 1933 and links Saanich and View Royal. The replacement project is expected to cost $10,775,000, including upgrading road approaches to connect to a wider, threelane span. Last week, Ottawa signed off on the Capital Regional District's request to allocate $10 million of its federal gas tax budget to the new bridge. Saanich will cover 60 per cent of the remaining bill ($465,000) and View Royal will pick up the rest ($310,000). View Royal Mayor Graham Hill said businesses, particularly in Admirals Walk, might not being impressed with a third major construction project tying up road access to the plaza, but he said the replacing the bridge can’t wait. “It was either do it now or deal with the fall down effect,” Hill said. “If there’s an opportunity to keep the old bridge open during construction, that’s something we’ll find out from the consultant as we continue through the process.” A load assessment conducted last December determined that the existing bridge wouldn’t be able to sustain traffic load even with upgrades and repairs.

Cleanup underway at Savory School fire remains suspicious Edward Hill News staff

Jason Pennock’s finger smudges black after running it along a table in the hallway at Savory elementary. It’s hard to see, but a fine layer of soot clings to most ledges and surfaces throughout the building. A suspicious fire gutted Savory’s office area Sunday morning, but by Tuesday restoration was well underway. Workers with Downs Construction have started the

process of bagging students’ clothing and supplies in each desk and classroom. A temporary wall has sealed off the firedamaged area from rest of the 45-year-old school. “Dust is on everything, all horizontal surfaces,” said Pennock, the project manger for Downs Construction. “It will take about two weeks to clean this side, then we’ll focus on the gym. The priority is to get kids back in the school.” Repairing the fire damaged rooms will take longer, especially if panels sealing in asbestos are cracked. The administration area is small and damage is estimated at less than $50,000, but Dennis Maloney, health and safety manager with

Downs, said it will take time to form a repair plan due to the poor air quality. “There will be air testing in the school before and after the kids come in here,” Maloney said. “It is very detailed work. We want to make sure the kids are safe.” Savory teachers were allowed to collect books and teaching supplies from classrooms Tuesday afternoon in preparation for working in temporary space for two or three weeks. Happy Valley is taking grades 3 to 6 in unused portable classrooms. Kids in kindergarten to Grade 2 have classroom space at nearby Crystal View elementary.

Teachers in the main floor classrooms wore dust masks while gathering supplies, and the residual smell of smoke hung in the air. The second level suffered far less smoke damage. “Going into a new place with the kids will be a good adventure,” laughed Grade 6 teacher Alex Reeve, while packing a box in the classroom he’s taught in since 1980. His class is relocating to Happy Valley. “We’ve already planned hikes down the Galloping Goose and we’ll get to do different things. We hope to have a fun few weeks, and then we’ll be back.” PLEASE SEE: West Shore, Page A12

Colwood eyes axing sewer expansion fee Sam Van Schie News staff

Linking into Colwood sewer could get $10,000 cheaper. The one-time fee is charged when a new users join the sewer and goes into a reserve fund to offset future costs of expanding the system. But City engineer Michael Baxter said the province won’t support including the fee in a new rate plan for sewage users that will be presented to council next month. “There are details we’re still working out, but we know that fee can’t be part of our new plan,” Baxter said at Monday’s council meeting. City staff, knowing the cost savings is on the way, have been advising residents to wait to join the system. Baxter asked council to remove the fee immediately to avoid a backlog. “We’ve got a lot of people sitting on their hands waiting for the fee to disappear,” Baxter explained. “Some need sewer quite desperately.” But none of the councillors were willing to put forward a motion to delete the fee, preferring instead to wait and consider all the changes to sewer rates together. “There’s no sense doing this piecemeal,” said Coun. Cynthia Day. Coun. Ernie Robertson suggested deleting the fee could evoke legal action from the property owners who originally paid to establish the sewer system in Colwood. “I don’t want to move on this now if it’s at the expense of reaching a settlement with the upstream users,” Robertson said. Baxter said there’s little benefit in continuing to collect the fee. It’s only once been used to pay for new sewer lines. Currently the fund is going towards developing a sewer master plan. “If we want to expand the sewer, we need a plan for how to do it,” Baxter said. The new rate proposal, aimed at standardizing sewage taxes across the municipality, is expected at the Oct. 10 meeting. It will include merging the 56 local sewer service areas into six and basing the sewage tax rate on parcel tax, rather than the more variable property tax. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Clayton Sidlick shows off a bright red 1952 Cockshutt tractor, part of the antique farm equipment display this weekend at the Luxton Fall Fair, featuring tough truck mayhem, music entertainment and midway rides.

Tough trucks, tough tractors A mix of old and new, Luxton Fall Fair celebrates 101 years Charla Huber News staff

Chugging along with high speed belts and spiked metal rollers, Clayton Sidlick has yet to lose a finger in the vintage 1920s threshing machine. Each year at the Luxton Fall Fair, Sidlick loads oats harvested in Metchosin into the “widow maker” machine, an old device that separates seed from the chafe. He knows his way around an antique thresher and enjoys giving people a handful of fresh oats. They always give him a puzzled look. “They say, ‘What do we do with that?’ Then I ask them if they’ve ever had a bowl of oatmeal,” Sidlick chuckled. Sidlick has volunteered at

the fair for the past 33 years because he loves it. He spends the day minding the thresher in the field with other antique farm equipment, such as the Sawyer-Massey steam tractors. Antique equipment upkeep, quilt making, cow milking and blacksmithing will bump up against the smell of cotton candy and the sounds of carnival games for this weekend’s 101st Luxton fair. “People can come here so they will know the history of the West Shore community,” said volunteer Ian McKenzie. “Life was a lot harder back then.” During the weekend fair McKenzie will spend his time among the historical displays, talking to fairgoers about the exhibits. To help connect an increasingly urban population with the rural history of the area, McKenzie is helping organize a gardening contest this year, which will take the place of the horticultural display. “I like telling people about (our rural history) and helping

then understand what it’s all about,” McKenzie said. A 10 year volunteer, McKenzie enjoys the community aspect of the fair more than the rides and food, but he will sneak away to get a corn on the cob. “It’s a whole grain,” McKenzie smiled. For people who like their fairs a bit more modern, there are plenty of carnival games and rides. Thrill seekers can be locked in the cage of the Zipper or dare to try the assortment of high flying rides. In the Luxton arena, the popular jacked up 4x4s try to climb seemingly insurmountable obstacles for the popular Tough Truck Challenge. “Horse power always attracts an audience,” said Zillah Erickson, the tough trucks volunteer organizer. “We are the only registered fair in B.C. that has an off road truck event.” Boulders, logs and five-foot diametre cement pipes provide the obstacles, but the bravado of mainly young male drivers delivers the entertainment.

In it’s fifth year, the course has been rejigged to keep drivers and audiences on their toes. The crowds keep coming back to see, “who can maneuver over the obstacles and the carnage that happens,” Erickson said. Not all trucks are tough enough to endure the gruelling combat course and Erickson said it’s not uncommon to see a rollover or a gas tank go up in flames. “That one’s on YouTube,” she joked. Anyone with a 4x4 truck who wants to give the course a try can sign up at the fair. “It’s an open invitation,” Erickson said. The Tough Truck Challenge starts at 11 a.m. on Sept. 17 and 18. Admission to the fair grounds if free but to enter the tough trucks show. The admission fee is $15 adults, $10 seniors and youth 11-18 and children 10 and under are free.

Community groups team up for playground Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders also pledged a $5,000 donation from the Saunders Family Foundation. “(West Shore recreation) supports youth and seniors in such a huge region, more so than a single municipality,” Saunders said. “There is a need for this type of facility.” The rec centre has been selected as a finalist in the Schneiders Country Naturals Picnic Anywhere Project contest. The grand prize is $100,000. Playground projects in Mackenzie, B.C., one in Alberta and two in Ontario are also vying for the grant. To win the grant for the playground, the rec centre needs residents to vote for its video on its Facebook page. Rec centre staff

Rec centre seeks Facebook votes for $100K grant Charla Huber News staff

West Shore Parks and Recreation has officially launched its fundraising campaign for the

future Rotary Picnic accessible playground. Sited for land near the Colwood Rotary picnic shelter and the Paul Valentine memorial basketball courts, the playground will include swings and play structures for children with a spectrum of mobility challenges. Even before the campaign started, the recreation centre had mustered up $88,000

toward the $244,000 project. The Colwood Rotary donated $9,500 at the campaign launch, but Rotary president Russ Lazaruk said the group will work hard to raise more than that. This year Rotary is focusing on children and people with disabilities. “Every year the club takes on a local project,” Lazaruk said. “This is an inclusive playground.”

A refurbished span would last less than 15 years unless traffic restrictions are put in place on the bridge, which carries 18,000 vehicles each day. “The two municipalities not only share borders, but share many common values, like community health and maintenance of our well-being through good economic measures,” Hill said. “That all comes together in recognizing this bridge as a vital resource to our communities and to our region.” Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said without the gas tax money, it’s unlikely the bridge project would have moved ahead. “If we tried to fund our share out of our own resources it would be quite a burden on Saanich taxpayers,” Leonard said. “This is really why the federal gas tax allocation is so good for local government, because we can get to significant projects like this without burdening property taxpayers.” With the funding in place, the municipalities have officially awarded Herold Engineering a nearly $300,000 contract to design the new bridge. The Nanaimo-based firm was the lowest bidder in a request for proposals that closed Aug. 24. The councils are expected to undertake public consultation and select the bridge design before November elections. Tender for the construction of the bridge would then be awarded for April 2012 to complete the work by the following August.

Serious Assault On Thursday August 18, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an assault occurred on the west side of the 1000-block of Douglas St. in downtown Victoria. Three males had left Club 919 at the Strathcona Hotel and were walking northbound when they were approached and confronted by a larger group of males. One of these men, described as Caucasian, over 6’ tall, and either bald or with very short hair, accused the three males of harassing his girlfriend. At this time another male came from behind the large male and “sucker punched” one of the three males to the head. The suspect fled southbound on Douglas Street, while other members of this larger group continued to try to provoke a fight. The male victim of the punch required surgery for a shattered orbital bone. He has lost partial vision in one eye and will require further surgery.

The individuals pictured here are wanted as of September 14, 2011

Checkup helps tots avoid rotten teeth Charla Huber News staff

When dental hygienist Pamela Poon screens the mouths of tots, it’s not uncommon for her to see a kid with a cavity who hasn’t reached their first birthday. “Cavities are totally preventable,” Poon said. “Kids don’t ever need to have a cavity.” In her effort to help protect children from tooth decay, Poon works as a community dental hygienist for the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s “Smiles First” program. On the third Wednesday of each month Poon travels to the West Shore Health Unit in Colwood to check out children’s teeth. The four-year program is free and offered to children who haven’t yet entered kindergarten. Poon gives the children a dental screening and talks to children and their parents about oral care. If needed she can apply fluoride varnish if she deems the child high risk for tooth decay. She also refers children to a dentist if she sees signs of tooth decay or possible cavities. “Dental surgery is the No. 1 day surgery for kids in B.C. under five,” Poon said. “There are so many kids with (tooth decay), and it’s sad.” If a cavity is detected in a

child’s mouth, it’s not uncommon for the child to have to go under general anesthesia to have it fixed. “If it’s a small cavity they might fix it (in a dental office) but a lot of kids aren’t keen on that,” Poon said. “If they have to pull out a bunch of teeth, they might put them under.” It takes about a year and a half after each tooth arrives for it to fully harden, which leaves young teeth more vulnerable to decay. The first sign of potential decay is a bright white spot on a tooth. “The white spot legion is where the tooth has been weakened a bit,” Poon said. “Decay can happen pretty quick.” It can take as little as two months from the sign of a white legion until the tooth becomes brown with decay. If caught early a white spot can be reversed with diet and the use of a fluoride varnish. Poon suggests limiting the amount of sweet and sticky foods in a child’s diet. If a child is going to eat items such as raisins, granola bars or fruit leather, it’s better to do at the end of a meal rather than as a snack. “At the end of a meal there is more saliva in the mouth,” Poon said, which helps keep food from sticking to the teeth. Some children get cavities

Dental hygienist Pamela Poon often uses a toothy elephant to teach proper brushing technique to children. Poon offers free dental screenings for tots in Greater Victoria each month as part of the VIHA Smiles First program. Charla Huber/News staff

before they even start on solid foods. Poon said babies who fall asleep breast-feeding or with a bottle can have the milk pool around their teeth which leads to decay. “There are kids going to

school missing six or seven teeth because they were pulled out due to decay,” Poon said. Poon suggests all babies and children brush their teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Children should start having dental screenings or checkup about six months after the first tooth comes in. “Not everyone has access to, or thinks about oral care, but it’s completely linked to your overall health,” Poon said.

While taking care of children’s teeth is important, Poon said it’s important for parents to get regular dental care as well. “Parents can pass (cavity causing) bacteria onto their children, even by kissing them,” Poon said. The next Smile First program is available at the West Shore Health Unit on Sept. 21. To book an appointment call 250-519-3490. To speak to a VIHA dental hygienist call 250-519-5100. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Show us the LRT money I

f BC Transit’s executives don’t want to come across as Lyle Lanley, they had better scale back their sales pitch and start working a little harder on ensuring local taxpayers get the transparency they’re demanding. Lanley was the silver-tongued pitchman for the monorail in one of the more memorable episodes of The Simpsons. If you’ve never seen the show, it’s enough to say the story of a love affair with a form of light rapid transit ended badly. In Greater Victoria, there’s no denying the vast majority of people would love to see LRT in our region. The promise of greener transportation that provides an alternative to getting mired in the Colwood Crawl is enthralling. However, taxpayers simply can’t go ahead and fund rapid transit regardless of the cost. And the big problem in the early stages of the plan is that big money is already being spent without any real accountability to the people who foot the bill. A business report has already been completed at a cost of $3.1 million — an amount that came as a surprise to the regional transit commission, whose representatives we entrust with protecting the best interests of their communities. That cost was split between the province and local taxpayers who fund the commission. Another $5 million, which may or may not also be shared by the feds, is already earmarked for a business case that will add details to the $1-billion plan for LRT. Before that money is spent, BC Transit needs to take a step back and reassure the public that it has secured federal and provincial grants to cover the cost of its grand plan. If it can’t, local taxpayers must be asked whether they are willing to risk going ahead without assurances that they won’t be left paying the bill after it’s too late to rethink our LRT love affair.

mix of irony and sarcasm is critical. It can come across as angry, even hateful, if not done with care. At one time, satirical columns were common in newspapers but these days most editors are wary of risking the trust of readers. That, and the fact readers are inundated with websites that miss the mark when they attempt satire but really deal in mock news that’s more misinformation than clever commentary. There are still great sources of satire, of course. Stephen Colbert remains hugely popular around the world and The Onion magazine’s website provides constant fodder for people to share through sites such as Facebook. If you can relate to the Brits, the U.K. also continues to pump out comedians with that rare ability to skewer sacred institutions while tickling your funny bone. In Canada, Rick Mercer started his new season this week. Mercer’s rants consistently find that sweet spot between comedy and crassness. And locally I suppose we’ve seen successful satire with the nowretired Mr. Floatie and his campaign for sewage treatment. I’m curious what you think about the state of satire. I know many of our letter writers have a rapier-like wit and can take a poke at some of the issues affecting us on a regional, provincial or national level. Let’s see you try. editor@saanichnews.com —Jim Zeeben is the editor of the Saanich News.

face of differences is all part of being a human being — part of the primitive emergency reaction system human beings have in response to danger. Like two porcupines with their quills out, once in conflict people protect in a variety of ways. There’s the “aggressive” style. We will blame the other, attack, coerce, control, defend, disapprove. We may use guilt and drama or logic in an attempt to get our way or be right. Or some of us become “passive” in the face of conflict. When we are passive we are avoiding, denying, withdrawing or retreating from conflict, withholding ourselves. All our protections, both the aggressive and passive styles, have a payoff. Regularly the payoff is the sense of power or con-

trol, the feeling of being right — and making the other wrong. The cost of the aggressive style is the injury the other may feel and the weakening of a sense of trust and connection between partners. It also disturbs our good feelings about ourselves. In the passive style the payoff is getting to avoid the experience of conflict. The cost of being passive is that conflicts are seldom resolved and remain and repeat themselves — we fail to learn and grow, and begin to feel resentful. Being aggressive or passive in the face of conflict — neither work. So Donna, the first step to meaningful change is to become aware of what these kind of interactions begin to do to our feeling of safety and affection for one another. It sounds like you’re rec-

ognizing this. Second we can become aware of our protections at the time we are doing them. This calls us to observe ourselves and to acknowledge the real intentions of our behaviour. Once we see this and have some sense what it costs us to protect together, we can stay conscious and alert when conflict appears. When we accept and flow with differences and desire to listen and understand, we can respond creatively and resolve conflicts as they appear. I’m sure we’d all agree our world needs more of this. pbeckowletstalk@shaw.ca —Paul Beckow is an individual, marriage and family therapist on the West Shore. See www.paulbeckow.com.

LETTERS Lessons from a pragmatist mayor What can we learn from Henry LaGuardia and his role in infrastructure and building livable communities? LaGuardia was mayor of New York for three terms from 1934 to 1945 as a Republican and is acclaimed as one of the three or four greatest mayors in American history. LaGuardia, a “Republican that had support across party lines,” was very popular in New York during the 1930s. As a New Dealer, he supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat. LaGuardia revitalized New York City and restored public faith in city hall. He unified the transit system; directed the building of low-cost public housing, public playgrounds and parks; constructed airports; reorganized the police force.

These objectives seem like the situation in B.C. at present? Do we need a unified transit system? Do we need more low-cost public housing? Are we in a recession and in need of resolving our infrastructure deficit? Are we facing debt conditions similar to the depression era 1930s North America? Are we arguing over governance issues for mass transit? Yet it was a conservative Republican that understood that a strong economy needs to provide affordable transportation, housing and other amenities. LaGuarida understood that spending money on projects that do nothing to improve the livelihood of the average citizen is useless. Rather he focused his capital plans on building assets that would transform New York not only into a major financial centre, but also a commercial centre, manufacturing center, transportation center and so on. He epitomized the saying, “If

Police warn of compromised ATMs Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich police are warning bank ATM users to be extra cautious, as fraudsters are stealing people's debit card information in Greater Victoria. Saanich police have discovered multiple machines that have been modified to record a user’s PIN. A false front to the machines incorporated either a camera or a device to

record keypad strokes. Sgt. Dean Jantzen won't say how many tampered machines have been identified locally or where they are located. However, he said police are making headway in tracking down the individuals involved. "There is footage of the people who are doing this, and that's forming part of our investigation," he said. In certain cases, small pinhole cameras are installed

Specifically be on the alert for any individuals sitting in a bank parking lot looking at a laptop, or if the face of your ATM looks strange. "Do something. If something catches your attention, let us know," Jantzen said. So far, the only ATMs that have been targeted are the ones at banking institutions — both inside and outside. Small corner store ATMs have been targeted in the past. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

above a PIN pad to record you entering your PIN. This would also require somebody watching the video nearby on a laptop. In other cases, machines are being compromised by a false card reader being installed on the outside of the machine, which downloads debit information electronically. Jantzen says bank users should report any suspicious activity to police or the bank.

“It’s a hassle but we’ll make the best of it,” remarked teacher Jack Showers. “It will be a fun little adventure going to Happy Valley. The three portables will be like our own little campus.” Grade 3-4 teacher Terry Kniert spent time figuring out which storybooks to bring along, out of dozens lining the shelf. After 31 years at Savory, he retired a few years ago, but came back as a teacher-on-call. He worked at the school during its last fire in 1992, an arson lit by a student in the same area as the fire on Sunday. He didn’t expect another nearly 20 years later. “I didn’t expect this at all, but I love this school and it’s great to come back,”

Kniert said. “It’s great to come to a place that’s like home, and it’s nice to help out.” The ongoing teacher job action hasn’t cropped up in planning or response to temporarily relocate teachers and students. Superintendent Jim Cambridge said the district administration has had nothing but co-operation and assistance from the teachers’ union. Reeve, the Grade 6 teacher, said district staff have communicated well with teachers and weathered the crisis smoothly. “I’m impressed with the way the school district has dealt with it all. They’ve made it really easy for us,” Reeve said. “Considering how bad it is, it’s been handled really well.” West Shore RCMP deem the fire at

Police are looking for witnesses who saw a blue 1992 Chevy S10 pickup, described as “a rust bucket,” driving dangerously on the highway around 6 p.m., on Sept. 11. The truck rear-ended a vehicle at McKenzie Avenue. The driver of that vehicle called police after the pickup truck driver indicated he wasn't going to stick around. When police arrived, four other motorists had pulled to the side of the road to indicate they had seen the suspect truck driving dangerously near Spencer Road in Langford. Anyone with information is asked to call Saanich police at 250475-4321. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Numerous sightings, but no cougars found Roszan Holmen News staff

Victoria police, the military police and conservation officers have scoured the area but found no sign of a cougar, despite several supposed sightings. The calls started coming Thursday (Sept. 8) morning and by Friday night, three people reported sightings in the blocks surrounding Esquimalt’s West Bay. Though unconfirmed, the sightings occurred in the 400 block of Peters St., the 900 block of Bewdley Ave., and the West Song Walkway by Barnard Park in Vic West. A man walking on the path heard a noise in a tree and shone a flashlight but was unable to get a clear view. Then, on Saturday, some employees of a business in the 900 block of Cloverdale Ave. reported another sighting. They said the animal was “larger than a German shepherd and definitely a cougar.” Saanich police also noted that a nearby home is keeping chickens, which could have attracted a cougar to the area. On Monday, three more sightings in North Saanich were added to the list, including two from Ardmore golf course and one from Lands End Road. If you spot a cougar, the B.C. Ministry of Environment suggests picking up children immediately, and backing away slowly while keeping the animal in view. Never turn your back and run.

Without a proper roll of packing tape, Nick Blasko is hesitant to affix a Rifflandia poster to the clutter of ads adorning the base of a Johnson Street lamppost. Long before Blasko was a lead organizer with Atomique Productions, which is staging the Rifflandia music festival Sept. 22 to 25 in Victoria, he was taping posters on city power poles. “That’s where it started.” Today he’s still that guy, though he admits poster duties are now in the capable hands of the next generation. The full-colour, 108-page guide for Rifflandia 2011 is a magazine of previews and features clearly influenced by the art and design seen in street posters. It’s the magazine of choice in coffee shops and waiting areas downtown these days and is the fruit of a deadline met with “non-stop over-nighters,” Blasko said. “We lived with the production of the guide for so long – you just pray you don’t have a typo on the front page.” The guide is also full of even more big-name acts. Rifflandia has moved its main venue outside and has sold nearly double last year’s 3,250 passes. “This

year is all about the day festival at Royal Athletic Park,” Blasko said. “We’ve focused heavily on making it a full day’s affair. No one should be bored or want to leave early.” In only its fourth year, Rifflandia is beginning to be mentioned as one of the premier music festivals in the Pacific Northwest. RAP will handle up to 7,000 people daily. Combined with nighttime venues, overall ticket sales could surpass 10,000. Seven venues will host four shows nightly beginning at 8:30 p.m., around the time RAP

headliners Broken Social Scene (Friday), City and Colour (Saturday) and De La Soul (Sunday) wrap things up. To accommodate both day and nighttime concertgoers, Rifflandia offers alternatives for festival admission. Instead of forcing patrons hopping from one bar to the next to purchase an all-events wristband, Atomique has “sliced and diced” the options into park passes and night passes. The one-for-all, super pass to the park and night stages is still the prime ticket at $165. How-

ever, a single-day pass to RAP is $75, while a night-stage only pass for the weekend is $55. Blasko hopes the change will eliminate the criticism of years past – that venues for particular acts filled up and left concerthopping fans on the street. RAP’s main stage will feature five acts per day and five more running simultaneous on a side stage. The park will also host a cinema tent, Artlandia exhibit tent and a beer garden. Night venues are Phillips Brewery, Club 9one9, Sugar nightclub, Victoria Event Centre, Lucky Bar, Metro Theatre and the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s Alix Goolden and Wood halls.

IN BRIEF

Sexual abuse might seem a topic that would be difficult to make humourous. But Intrepid Theatre is trying. Cantadora is a “surreal” acoustic musical about the resilience of the human spirit. Singer/songwriter Janet Walker and four others make up the cast in the 40-minute show, which includes song, storytelling, puppetry and dance. Joining Walker on stage is Zopyra Theatre’s artistic director Emma Zabloski, as well as Marina Lagace who was in Blue Bridge Theatre’s Fire this year, Carol Adamson from the Fringe Festival’s The Tirades of Love, Kimara Brilling and a chicken named Isabella. Cantadora is the last presentation of Intrepid Theatre’s YOU Show, a twomonth staging of original new plays. Tickets, $12, are available at the door, 1609 Blanshard St. There are two showings tomorrow (Sept. 17), 6 and 9 p.m.

Caffe arts exhibit an AIDS fundraiser

Victoria-based illustrator April Caverhill presents her recent works at Caffé Fantastico in Quadra Village. An opening of the exhibit happens tonight (Sept. 16) from 7 to 9 p.m. at 965 Kings Rd. Caverhill will donate 10 per cent of all her earnings from the show to AIDS Vancouver Island. The exhibit runs until Oct. 31.

Age no barrier for Langford athlete Edward Hill News staff

Patti Kagawa entered the BC Seniors Game on a whim — she wanted a summer holiday the Koontenays. To her surprise, she came home with a fist full of medals. The 55-year-old Langford resident and recreational athlete signed up for the south Island swim team to be part of the games held in Trail, Castlegar and Nelson, as a participant rather than a spectator. Her husband is on the Juan de Fuca soccer team and was out to help defend their title. Kagawa was surprised to be accepted on the south Island team without qualifying meets. “I’ve swam at Thetis lake quite a bit, but never on an organized masters swim team,” she said. “The group from the south Island are very serious. They swim hard. They were very competitive when they were younger. They like to keep that edge.” Edward Hill/News staff Swimming events were short — between Patti Kagawa shows off her collection of gold and silver medals from the BC Senior 25 and 100 metre races.

But you just have to take your time as you get older. You have to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.” For more on the BC Senior Games see www.bcseniorsgames.org.

And compality such as Saanich Com-

pared to those at many of the new schools joining the CIS, we don’t want UVic getting laughed at by an athlete from some newly approved CIS . There seems to be a misconception, however, that the centre’s new parkade is a separate part of the approval process. The buildings go together in a package deal. Around $59 million will go to a 2,100-seat spectator gym, a multipurpose field house, state-of-the-art weight training and fitness space, squash and racquet courts, a climbing tower, related office and activity spaces and an office and laboratory space for CanAssist, whose expanded special services will benefit the community. Another $18 million is slated for the seven level parkade, which would replace the 234 existing parking spots with a building capable of holding 505 vehicles. There also seems to be some confusion that the parkade would be unattractive. This along a road that always seems to be under construction. Saggy orange fencing, weedy asphalt and giant muddy areas come to mind when picturing the drive along McKenzie and the

entrance to the proposed site just inside Gabriola Road. The traffic concern from neighbours is valid. It’s certainly a right for all the school’s neighbours to have a smooth evacuation out of their quiet and charming neighborhoods. And while UVic is actively trying to wean itself from cardependent transportation, no one expects residents of Cadboro Bay to give up driving. Greater Victoria as a whole is in the early stages of the same thing (see the CRD’s new $275 million cycling and pedestrian master plan). But it’ll be many years from now, if ever, before an electric street car zips up the hill on Sinclair, heading to UVic. So whether McKenzie needs to become a four-lane street or have a magical bypass from Gordon Head Road to Cadboro Bay (for residents only, of course) dropped down by NASA helicopters, let’s hope UVic gets permission to build its self-funded facility and sends even more of our kids to provincial, national and Olympic glory. sports@vicnews.com - Travis Paterson is the sports reporter for the Black Press in Greater Victoria

Westshore Rebels quarterback Cat Todorovich is hit by V.I. Raiders linebacker Glenn Boyce in Nanaimo last week.

Rebels hunt to hold third As the Westshore Rebels season begins to wind down in the B.C. junior football conference, the hunt for third spot, thereby clinching a top-four playoff berth, becomes ever more intense. This Saturday (Sept. 17) the Rebels host the Okanagan Sun, 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford. The Sun (5-1) are second in the league ahead of the Rebels and Langley Rams, both of which are tired for third spot (3-3). Last week Westshore fell to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo 52-8. sports@vicnews.com

For many people, aging, an accidents or specific conditions can bring with them mobility challenges that can make it difficult to move around like they used to. When walking becomes difficult, City Wide Scooter & Wheelchair can help. From walkers and wheelchairs to mobility scooters City Wide Scooter & Wheelchair is there to help customers move around safely and easily. Among the quality brands carried in the conveniently located store are Evolution walkers, Invacare products, Pro D walkers and Shop Rider scooters, notes Wayne Fleet, who founded the West Shore’s mobility store two decades ago. In addition, City Wide carries a huge range of mobility aids, including bathroom safety products, hand controls, hospital beds, stair lifts and lift-out chairs. Need help to access City Wide’s extensive selection and expert service? No problem. The motto on the side of their van says it all: “Give us a call and we’ll bring the store to you.” Even better, as Fleet and his staff offer essential, health-related products, they are taxexempt, so you won’t pay HST. In addition to product sales, City Wide’s services include van conversions and wheelchair and mobility scooter repairs. Understanding the vital role a scooter or other mobility aid plays in the lives of their customers, Fleet does his very best to offer a 24-hour turn-around time on repairs, he notes. Clients can also expect a friendly smile from the knowledgeable City Wide staff. “We really value our customers and we work hard to offer excellent customer service,” Fleet explains. Given City Wide’s customer-first approach, it’s little wonder some of their clients have been coming back since the store opened its doors a full 20 years ago. Some, in fact, simply like to drop by the conveniently located store to say hello and chat, whether about their mobility needs or the day’s events. If you’d like to visit Wayne and his staff at City Wide Scooters, stop by 117- 735 Goldstream Ave, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays (to 4:30 p.m. Friday), or from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
