Modern-day gold rush on

Time to tee it up Courtnall Celebrity Classic for mental health starts tomorrow

With gold selling for record prices, many people are parting with family heirlooms

Erin McCracken News staff

Russ Courtnall is no stranger to pressure, having played in the National Hockey League. But his life has become a whirlwind of activity recently in the countdown to the third Courtnall Celebrity Classic fundraiser for mental health. The amount of time Russ and his brothers Geoff and Bruce have spent on the phone organizing the event is a sign the fundraiser is near and dear to their hearts. “It’s because it’s so personal with us, because of what happened to us,” Russ said from his home in L.A. “It’s not just a golf tournament and it’s just not a dinner, it’s more than that. With our dad committing suicide (in 1978), and being so young – I was 13 – unfortunately for us, it’s a big part of our lives, losing our father.” Previous Classics in 2003 and 2004 combined to raise $2 million to establish the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Archie Courtnall Centre – named for their father – where people suffering mental-health issues can receive emergency psychiatric care.

It’s part of the foundation’s larger campaign to generate $25 million in support of the new centre. Thanks to the brothers’ passion and round-the-clock dedication, around 2,000 people will be in attendance at several events this weekend, including a gala dinner Friday night (July 22) and a golf tournament Saturday.

Geoff, left, and Russ Courtnall get ready to welcome guests for the Courtnall Celebrity Classic tournament this weekend at the Victoria Golf Club. Among the dozens of celebrities scheduled to attend include current NHLers Ryan O’Byrne of Victoria (Colorado Avalanche), Central Saanich’s Jamie Benn (Dallas Stars), Vancouver Canucks centre Manny Malhotra, L.A. Kings defenceman Willie Mitchell, and Ron MacLean, co-host of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. Actors coming include Candace Cameron Bure from Full House and Make It Or Break It, X-Men: First Class actor Matthew Craven, Bold and the Beautiful TV star Jennifer Finnigan, Gena Lee Nolin from Baywatch and The Price is Right, and film actor Deborah Kara Unger from Silent Hill, Thirteen and Crash. It’s too soon to tell if and when the brothers will hold another Courtnall Celebrity Classic. But they recognize how great the need is for mental health care, which fuels them to continue their efforts. “You help people and it’s so rewarding,” said Russ. “It’s great.” emccracken@vicnews.com

Ounce for ounce, pound for pound, few things are worth more than gold. It’s the hottest commodity around and it’s becoming even more popular for investors. This modern-day gold rush has people rummaging through jewelry boxes and drawers to trade yesterday’s treasures in for cash. Some of the reasons for selling are practical. When Shelley Smith needed money for grad school two years ago, she sold off gold jewelry that belonged to her mother, who had recently passed away. She didn’t want to resort to student loans and said the gold had no meaning to her. “I know my mother would (approve of) me using it for betterment,” she said. She made $3,500 from the sale, half of what she needed to obtain her degree. Geoff Beattie, owner of Barclay’s Fine Custom Jewellers in Oak Bay, has been buying gold on a daily basis from clients like Smith. He knows the rush is on. “Everyone is aware that gold is at an all-time high,” he said. “People read it in the paper and since it’s been peaking, it is now at $1,500 an ounce. People are bringing in their gold if they are not wearing it.” About 12 years ago, he said, gold was selling at between $350 and $400 an ounce. “We did do the odd trade of gold, but it wasn’t anything near what it is today.” PLEASE SEE: Gold buyers busy, Page A4

If a tree falls in Oak Bay, will anybody hear it? On June 29 a large Garry oak fell due to rot and decay on St. Patrick Street and people did hear it. The tree, estimated to be about 150 years old, may have lived longer if people knew more about how to care for trees. Oak Bay municipal arborist Chris Paul offers an explanation and some advice: “Trees are living things that go through their cycle of life from infancy to old age, much like people. Some won’t last as long as others due to neglect, disease or accidents.” The difference is trees don’t heal. “When a branch is cut off a tree, it has to grow new wood over the cut, starting at the sides and growing into the centre. On large cuts, this can take a long time, leaving the exposed wood open to decay pathogens.” This was the case for the large oak on St. Patrick, he said. “It failed at an old cut where decay got into the tree and travelled down the trunk before the wound closed over. This is why our (tree protection) bylaw regulates the size of cuts tree owners are allowed to make on protected trees.” Trees on Oak Bay boulevards are inspected by parks crews regularly to check whether pruning is needed. They evaluate the condition of the tree and inspect any old wounds for decay. The schedule sees crews get to each neighbourhood or block every five to seven years. Trees on private property, however, are the responsibility

Municipal arborist Darryl Clark trims suckers off the base of a Linden tree in Oak Bay. of landowners. For large older trees, Paul suggests requesting a visit from a certified arborist. “While removing deadwood and crossing branches, they can have a look at the whole tree and see if there are any parts that might need further attention. Certified arborists will also recognize signs of decay or pest attacks and will be able to recommend a course of action.” For trees needing attention on boulevards, residents can call the parks department (250-5927275) to come have a look. A staffer will carry out any necessary pruning, or conduct a further evaluation to determine if it needs to be removed. For private trees protected under Oak Bay’s tree bylaw, owners are required to apply for a permit to carry out pruning recommendations made by an arborist. Another way residents can help is by watering. “Many trees we grow in Victoria require more water throughout the summer than we receive in rainfall,” Paul said. “This means they’ll need regular deep watering to keep them healthy so they can fight off disease and

Some signs of stress on trees to watch for are: ■ Density of foliage – thinning crowns ■ Dead wood – all trees have a little, but look for larger branches with no leaves, particularly at the end of the branches. ■ Bark falling off. ■ Mushrooms near the base or fungal conks on the trunk. These indicate decay in wood. ■ Cavities where old cuts were made, often with animal nests inside.

Voices behind 9 1 1 calls •

•

Dedicated staffers answer when Oak Bay residents dial regional emergency line Kyle Slavin News staff

n an unusually quiet night, well after the sun has set, police dispatcher Kathy Horsley makes a prediction: “It’ll get busier after 11. That’s when things will pick up.” Since 8 p.m., only a half-dozen 911 calls have filtered through the communications centre, but nothing significant for a Friday. A landlord-tenant dispute, a pair of mental-health calls and some noise complaints have led to an idle shift – so far – for the quartet of late-night telecom operators. At 11:01 p.m., as if Horsley knew what the night would bring, the quietness abruptly ends. Three successive calls come in about a fight in progress near Tillicum Centre. Telecom operator Jasmine Luchuck gathers information from a neighbour watching from a window. A few feet away in the com centre, Heather Fyfe tries to console a mother in hysterics Kathy because her teenaged Horsley son was jumped. Luchuck and Fyfe have traded off calls with fellow operator Lindsay Finnigan all evening, and when a flood of calls comes in, these women need to be on their game. “I’m an adrenaline junkie,” Fyfe explains of why she likes her job. Just 15 minutes earlier Fyfe received her first call of the night – a patient at a local institution concerned about bounty hunters threatening him while he sleeps. “I have to talk to him as if it’s true. What if someone is actually doing that? I don’t have the luxury of knowing (the truth), as absurd as (the call) sounds,” says Fyfe, estimating 30 per cent of all 911 calls involve mental-health issues. Tonight Finnigan, Fyfe and Luchuck receive all the 911 calls for Saanich and Oak Bay, while Horsley dispatches, prioritizes and co-ordinates the officers to ensure every call that requires police presence is attended. Calls for Oak Bay always come through the Saanich police com centre, as the two municipalities’ close proximity to one another and that Oak Bay regularly utilizes Saanich police speciality units are reasons enough to share resources.

Did you know? ■ Telecom operators instantly receive information about your location when you call 911, though the accuracy can vary greatly. ■ Which communications centre you reach when you dial 911 from your cellphone is determined by your proximity to certain cell sites or cellphone towers. ■ If the closest cell tower is busy, you may be connected to the wrong jurisdiction’s com centre. That’s not problematic, though – all dispatchers are aware of all the calls coming in from surrounding police agencies.

Vacationers return to thefts

Four Oak Bay properties were broken into last week, prompting police to remind residents to take preventive measures while on vacation. “A truly secure home is one in which all doors and windows are locked, including second-storey windows,” said Sgt. Ray Maxwell, adding residents should also cancel their newspaper delivery. Residents of a Nottingham Road home returned Saturday to find someone had stolen two safes and 10 guns. A day earlier, a break-in on Cotswold Road resulted in the theft of TVs, a safe and a car, which was later found by officers.

Neighbourhoods’ concerns trumped by social good Seven-storey, 260-bed seniors care facility approved in Saanich Kyle Slavin News staff

One of the largest pieces of the six-tiered puzzle that is the Mount View Campus of Care came together last week. “It may be the most unique site in the province – to have that much public good accomplished on one site,” Mayor Frank Leonard said, after Saanich council approved the development permit for the 260-unit, seven-storey senior care facility. When completed, the campus will include affordable family housing, low-income seniors housing and independent seniors apartments. The permit application was met with vocal opposition at the July 11 meeting by a

small group of residents. “Not one person, by email or verbally to me, has said in recent weeks that this seven-storey building is worth it because of the social good,” said Korene Torney, president of the Mount View Colquitz Community Association. She pointed out that decisions on height and density were made two years ago, when the land at 3814 Carey Rd. was rezoned. “I had no expectation that that issue was going to be changed … but council needed to hear that we’ve not forgotten, as a community, that they disregarded our requests (to change certain aspects).” Leonard said council didn’t disregard those requests. It just made a democratic decision regarding the whole community. “We’re fortunate in our system that there’s a podium where you get an opportunity to speak,” he sauid. “But getting the opportunity to come and speak and have your say doesn’t mean you have your way. It means the elected members of council hear that

input and make a judgment based on everything they’ve heard.” Every councillor said the greater good of the project outweighs the concerns of the neighbourhood. “This campus of care is the type of project you dream about, but few communities have enough space to see it come to fruition,” said Coun. Susan Brice. “We’re balancing the greater good with the community that’s having this as their neighbour.” CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS WITH Torney said this isn’t a case of NIMBYism.

An artist’s rendering of the sevenstorey senior care facility proposed as part of the Mount View Campus of Care. But council made decisions contrary to the density and planning guidelines in their decade-old local area plan, Torney said. It is leading to inconsistent change, rather than the planned growth the community wants. Council also supported, in principle, the idea that the Carey neighbourhood local area plan be renewed. The 260-bed facility, built in the shape of an H, will have 20 seniors living in each of the four wings on every floor, where there will be a central kitchen and dining area. The building will also include a licensed dementia house. The building will be operated by Baptist Housing Society and is a partnership between the Capital Regional District and Vancouver Island Health Authority. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Cadet corps features generational connection Involvement in organization has drawn family closer Emma Prestwich News staff

Even though three generations of her family are in army cadets, Cheryl Fearn insists they’re not planning a takeover. The mother of three and commanding officer for the Canadian Scottish Regiment cadet corp in Victoria joined her father, Dave Jones, and her eldest son, Tyler, in cadets as an officer in 2003. She now holds the top position, which Jones also holds in a different corp. “I’m proud she’s in the same rank,” said Jones. “Tradition dictates I salute her when I’m in her office.” Jones joined cadets in England at 13 and became a shooting

Bowling high on city youth priority list More than half of Victoria’s youth have experienced discrimination, according to a survey conducted by the city’s youth council. Many feel judged because of their age or their looks. Thirtytwo per cent of the 350 respondents are very unsatisfied with the availability of affordable housing; 60 per cent feel violence is an issue in Victoria; and transportation challenges, such as bus frequency, are the most important issues facing youth. The ambitious survey cast a wide, but superficial net, leaving city council asking for more in-depth information in future surveys. The youth council is a grassroots group of 10 people aged 14 to 24. Its goal is to represent youth issues to elected officials and to launch initiatives to engage youth. So what do young people want in their community? “By far, the most common comment (in the survey) was a bowling alley,” said Sarah Amyot, the youth council co-ordinator. The city has two bowling facilities – both are for lawn bowling. rholmen@vicnews.com

He loves what he has learned about teamwork and discipline and wants to pass that on. “You had a place to go, you had comradeship,” he said. Hooking Fearn into her current role wasn’t hard, Jones said, but it has been a big commitment. She also works nights as a nurse. Doing both jobs has meant her family has had to learn to be patient. “It takes a lot of time out of my life,” Fearn said. “I’m there two to three days a

OUR VIEW

Make the most of summertime Will the real Greater Victoria summer ever arrive? Many locals are wondering that as they look for ways to enjoy summer vacation at home with the kids, long weekends or outdoor evenings during these longest days of the year. True, adverse weather is impossible to avoid, and does put a damper on planned outdoor events. Rains last Despite the lack weekend resulted in than usual of sunshine, we’re smaller crowds for the TD faring OK here Art Gallery Paint-In and the Victoria International Buskers Festival, and wreaked havoc with local Little League baseball playoffs. But by and large, we are faring far better than say, Northern B.C., which is reeling from landslides and road washouts resulting from heavy rain. Visitors to the Capital Region haven’t been scared away by the weather. Tourism Victoria indicates the industry is doing quite fine this season, with visitor numbers up over last year – go downtown any day and you’ll get a sense of that. Weather is one of those subjects we all have in common, making it the most popular conversation starter. But we all have a choice as to how we look at it. We can focus on the negative and yearn for the scorching hot days of summers past, or lament the dearth of outdoor swimming opportunities and the way-late state of the produce-growing season. Or we can be thankful for what we do have, which is a pretty darned pleasant climate that allows us to do a multitude of activities outdoors – not just in summer, but year-round. With more than half of summer still in front of us, we can expect plenty of opportunities to enjoy the heat of the season. But nothing is stopping us from getting out there now and enjoying the many activities and events in full swing around the region – even if we are forced to put up the umbrella or wear an extra layer now and again.

evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far, the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total. • Another highlight of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry.

LETTERS Ontario chuckles as B.C. squirms Initially, the harmonized sales tax was introduced here to maintain B.C.’s economic level with that of Ontario. Recognizing economic advantages for business and investment and, ultimately, increased returns to provincial taxpayers, Ontario decided to drop its provincial sales tax for the far more efficient HST. Unfortunately, Mr. Campbell’s clumsy implementation of HST, resulted in Bill Vander Zalm and supporters kicking the issue into the political arena, obscuring the economic reasons for the changeover. Vander Zalm, a pied piper, whistled a tune irresistible to the antiCampbell multitudes. They were joined by businesses who previously enjoyed PST exemption, and by the provincial opposition, who envisaged political advantage whistling the same tune. Meanwhile, Ontario’s HST implementation proceeded without fuss, causing a chuckle at B.C.’s attempt to extricate itself from a predicament of its own making. Now approaching the proverbial cliff, will the pied piper lead his supporters over the edge to the entanglement below, or will an advance to relative stability prevail? Should a majority vote “yes” to return PST, the ruling party will have great difficulty disentangling B.C. from the already functioning HST. This would mean reinstating a bureaucracy to operate PST, more paperwork for all businesses, eliminating compensatory cheques for those with low incomes,

repaying money to Ottawa received under the HST agreement, and slowing job creation, thereby ceding economic advantage to provinces embracing HST. So, avoiding confusing rhetoric, those with the economic well-being of B.C. in mind, would vote no. If the yes vote prevails, B.C. will head backwards into the future, with the HST rejection weighing heavily around its neck and slowing development. Ontario, with its advantage complete, could raise the chuckle to an outright guffaw. Alan Jones Oak Bay

Editorial perpetuates term’s misuse Re: Conservatism creep evident (Our View, July 13) We see again how that triumvirate of the Natural Governing Party (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 lawabiding 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

Looking for support on pesticide issue Re: Pesticide ban is logical, popular (Op-ed, News, July 13) Currently 38 municipalities in B.C. have bylaws in place to protect families and children from the nonessential use of chemical pesticides. My family is relieved Oak Bay has adopted a precautionary principle and restricted their use. Taking a ‘better safe than sorry’ approach to putting people first is the basis for legislation relating to pesticide bans in other provinces. After examining Health Canada’s public consultation page and the outlined re-evaluation process, it is rather disturbing to see the number of chemical products that have been placed on the market, only to have their use limited years later due to health and environmental risks. This is where the precautionary principle gains credibility as a valid tool to restrict pesticide use. The premier has spoken – she supports regulating the use and sale of pesticides for cosmetic purposes. I hope the B.C. municipalities that already do will lend their support on behalf of their

www.sookefinearts.com communities. We should all be supporting and encouraging the province to do what is right and ask them to introduce legislation to ban the use and sale of chemical pesticides for cosmetic purposes. Britt Karlstrom Oak Bay

Old building code has detrimental effect Re: Neighbours unite over two-house development (News, July 15) I can’t for the life of me figure out why the trend in architecture in Oak Bay and Uplands is seeing a plethora of banal houses cropping up, when there are so many “experts” involved in every minor detail of any proposed change. However, it is my experience that designing to an outdated building code can have less desirable results than a minor variance, when a skilled architect with imagination and vested interest in the community is involved, as is the case on Transit Road.

Shore power for cruise ships considered in harbour study Expensive move would improve air quality Erin McCracken News staff

Providing a shore power source for docking cruise ships at Ogden Point is the focus of a study being undertaken by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The study aims to determine the price of equipping the facility with a complex electric power source, and whether it has environmental merit.

The system would feed electricity to visiting cruise ships, allowing them to turn off their primary engines while moored. “We know if it is something that is seen as desirable, there are enormous capital costs and that’ll be one of the big questions,” said Coun. Pamela Madoff, Victoria’s representative on the GVHA board. B.C. Hydro would need to upgrade

its electrical grid at a cost of between $10 million and $11 million, while shore power infrastructure would cost anywhere from $5 million to $9 million, according to a pre-feasibility study completed in April. Through the new study, the GVHA hopes to learn whether providing the service at Ogden Point would give the port-of-call a competitive advantage, said authority spokes-

allows operators to cut fuel costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality when docked. It would also allow them to meet international emissions reduction targets coming next year. “You have to look at it from a triple bottom line,” Madoff said. “Does it make sense environmentally, does it make sense financially and from a social point of view as well?”

The request for proposals issued last week by the harbour authority closes July 29. An end date for the project has not been fixed, Penz said. The City of Victoria and the Vancouver Island Health Authority have each committed $5,000 to the study, while the Capital Regional District, a GVHA board member, said it does not have the money in this year’s budget, Penz said. emccracken@vicnews.com

Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary is getting crafty with plans for future growth. The sanctuary and educational centre in Saanich is seeking seniors interested in teaching and learning handiwork of all kinds for its seniors’ craft program. The primary focus of the federally-funded program is to have individuals with carpentry, textile and paper craft skills pass along their skills to other seniors. Items produced, from birdhouses and bee condos to dried-flower greeting cards, will reflect the conservation focus of the sanctuary by using materials found on site. Robyn Burton, manager of administrative services at Swan Lake, says there’s also an intergenerational aspect to the program. “Seniors would be able to come and help kids put together a bird house (and) would pass on the knowledge that they had learned,” she said. “There’s a bunch of different levels to it.”

Don Denton/News staff

Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary volunteer co-ordinator Betty Leitch, left, and administration services manager Robyn Burton show off a bird house and bee condo similar to ones they hope seniors will build through a new sanctuary-run crafting program. The items will be sold in the nature house gift shop to support the program into the future. The program is made possible through a partnership with Saanich Silver Threads, where most workshops will take place. A quilting class is the first to be offered.

Depending on the level of interest, the program should be self-sustainable by the end of the year. For more information or to volunteer, contact Burton or volunteer program co-ordinator Betty Leitch at 250-479-0211. nnorth@saanichnews.com

From behind the camera to centre stage Innovative film course building university’s film reputation Erin McCracken News staff

When Connor Gaston learned in science class that a person can foam green at the mouth and eventually die after ingesting hemlock, he turned the nugget of information into a gem of a story. “I was like, ‘whoa, that’s so cool,’” the fourth-year University of Victoria creative writing student said of the imagery. “That would be a really interesting thing to see on film.” It has led to the creation of a short film he wrote and helped shoot with 15 UVic students for a screenwriting class that recently wrapped. How Socrates Bought the Farm is a dark comedy about an introverted young man who plots to poison his boorish stepfather. “It’s interesting to let your script go into someone else’s hands,” said Gaston, who usually writes and shoots his own films. Working with such a large crew this time was “a good process,” he said. “It’s healthy to see your work taken by somebody else.” The intensive and innovative seven-week class that brought his story to life is help-

In 2010 she taught the first studentdriven Writing 320 class, which culminated in the web series, Freshman’s Wharf. In June that series won a prestigious Leo award, which recognizes B.C. film and television. Gaston’s script was chosen out of 17 entries by his fellow classmates – they didn’t know it was his. The film was produced by course instructor Daniel Hogg and directed by award-winning UVic alumni Jeremy Lutter, both of whom were involved in Freshman’s Wharf. The value of the course is that it mimics a professional film set and involves students in every step of the filmmaking process, though there was an open call for the director and the actors’ roles. “Film is definitely a collaborative art form,” said Lutter. “So this class is really good in that Don Denton/News staff Actor Shaan Rahman, centre, waits for the crew, slater Tyson Laidler, left, first regard, because everyone can take on camera assistant Connor Gaston, director of photography Dan Hogg and sound tech a different department. And then you Kelly Bouchard, to get ready before they film a scene from How Socrates Bought end up with a really polished work at the The Farm. The Writing 320 class from UVic also created the Leo Award-nominated end, because there were so many people working on it.” Freshman’s Wharf web series. That’s what has Bradley, who plans ing boost the university’s name in the film film theory, while budding screenwriters to teach the next course next January, so get their fix through the creative writing enthusiastic. world. “We practically have a film program, That, despite the fact UVic doesn’t have department. “I think people are surprised (with) the really, because there’s so much great stuff an official film department – largely because quality that is coming out of UVic,” said being made,” she said. there is no funding available. emccracken@vicnews.com Film courses that are offered focus on associate professor Maureen Bradley.

CITY Port Vale FC part of Highlanders downtown weekend at RAP Travis Paterson News staff

Heading into the season-ending homestand this weekend the Victoria Highlanders FC players are loving what’s ahead and what’s underfoot. Playoffs loom, visiting Port Vale FC is here, 7 p.m. Thursday for an historic exhibition match and it’s all happening on the luscious green grass of Royal Athletic Park. Playing on the upgraded grass pitch of RAP after a mid-season move from Langford’s Bear Mountain Stadium is so enticing, coach Ian Bridge said players can’t get enough and have been staying on it long after the end of the day’s training. “It’s living and breathing -- it’s not smelling like rubber -- and it’s cool, not baking in the sun like the artificial turf,” Bridge said. The Highlanders have already settled into the new digs with a 1-1 draw against the Portland Timbers on Saturday and a 4-0 win over the North Sound SeaWolves the week before.

“To put in a young team and rest the starters for Kitsap, that’s not fair to the fans or to Port Vale,” Bridge said. “The downside is we could empty the tank a little bit with six points needed on the weekend.” A bigger crowd is expected for Thursday’s exhibition match with Port Vale FC than the 1,100 who showed up recently for the game against North Sound or the 900 to watch Portland. Hailing from the Stoke-On-Trent area in England, Port Vale is stirring interest all over the Island and Lower Mainland.

Young blood Sixteen-year-old Josh Heard scored the Highlanders’ only goal from Jared Stephens in the third minute of the second half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers. The Highlanders won their first game at RAP 4-0 on July 9 over the North Sound SeaWolves. Ashley Burbeary and Jordie Hughes each scored twice. sports@vicnews.com

Jr. ’Rocks playing like it’s 2013 Team finding playoff chemistry 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. Now the Shamrocks await either the top dog Coquitlam Adanacs or second-place New Westminster Salmonbellies in round two of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs, which starts this weekend. 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-of-three 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,” said coach Jordan Sundher. “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.” As of Monday, the Jr. ’Rocks were waiting for the result of the third-place Delta Islanders and the seventh-place Langley Thunder. Results from the series are available online. Should Delta win, the Shamrocks will face the reigning the Canadian champion Adanacs. Both the Ads (21-0) and Salmonbellies (16-5) earned first-round byes in the playoffs. The Shamrocks’ awakening is one that has Sundher, an ex-junior and senior Shamrock himself, 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 goto-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

I’d love the chance to play Coquitlam. The pressure is on them and it’s exactly the spot for us to be in.” sports@vicnews.com

Saanich club wins Little League District 7 title, spot in provincials Travis Paterson News staff

Make it five straight trips to the provincials for Layritz Little League’s 11- and 12-year-olds. Layritz defeated Beacon Hill 10-0 in the third and final game of the District 7 city championship at Fairfield’s Hollywood Park on Sunday. Layritz has a chance to improve on its semifinal loss at last year’s provincials. It should help that Layritz doesn’t need to go far – Hampton Little League is this year’s host club. In the final on Sunday, Layritz got five shutout innings from pitcher Jesse Simpson. At bat, Jake Wilhelm clubbed a dinger to help the Saanich team end the game an inning early. Layritz won the first game on Friday, a 10-0 clincher that ended in the fourth inning. Beacon Hill battled back, winning 4-2 in a game delayed by rain on Saturday. “We have a lot of work to do this week, on everything,” Layritz manager Dave Potter said. “It seems our hitting is either on or off. (The coaches) challenged the players to hit (Sunday) and they responded. There were no easy outs for Beacon Hill.” Layritz went 6-1 during the city championships, while Beacon Hill went 4-3. “It’s a tough loss. The kids aren’t happy but they can be happy they made it this far,” Beacon Hill manager Gus Niketas said. “(Beacon Hill) came back in a do-or-die game and I think we shocked (Layritz) on Saturday.” Pitchers Nick Downer and Chris Niketas combined to hold Layritz to just two runs in that game. Beacon Hill’s 9- and 10-year-old team is currently at the pro-

Victoria Eagles prepare to host mosquito AAA provincials The Victoria Eagles baseball team spent last weekend winning silver in Kelowna at the Valley of Champions tournament.

That put the Tigers into the semifinal where they dispatched Maple Ridge 9-6. Victoria ace Harrison Hurford was masterful in the final against the Burnaby Braves. Hurford threw a one-run, 60-pitch complete game and the Tigers clinched a mercy-win, 12-1 in five innings for the championship. sports@vicnews.com

Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMT) is the leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of fifty. The macula is the part of the eye that provides central vision. There are two types of age-related macular degeneration, “wet” and “dry”. The most common is the “dry” type, where the gradual thinning of the macula causes a slow loss of central vision. This affects key activities such as reading, driving and recognizing faces. Peripheral vision is usually not affected. Currently, there is no treatment for “dry” ARMD, although research suggests that certain vitamins, minerals and diet may play a role in prevention. A growing body of research has linked lutein, an antioxidant found in green, leafy vegetables, to the prevention of ARMD. Diet has been examined to determine if nutrients can slow the aging process in the eye. Vitamins A and E, selenium and zinc are among the nutrients being studied. Other factors, such as smoking, alcohol intake, cumulative sun exposure and genetics have been linked to the occurrence of ARMD. “Wet”: age-related macular degeneration is less common, but may cause sudden, severe vision loss. This form of ARMD is caused by the rapid growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These abnormal vessels leak fluid resulting in scarring and the subsequent loss of visual acuity. The key to treatment of “wet” ARMD is to stop the leakage of the abnormal blood vessels and thereby stop the scarring of the affected tissue. Early detection and prompt treatment is vital in limiting damage. Currently, laser therapy is used to treat this condition by destroying some of the leaking vessels. This treatment can only be used in a minority of cases. Regular eye examinations allow optometrists to look for signs of ARMD as well as other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Optometrists can also help patients with significant vision loss by prescribing magnifying devices or low vision aids. You owe it to yourself and others to have regular eye examinations.

Hesjedal a horse for Garmin-Cervelo team Team Garmin-Cervelo and the Tour de France cyclists enjoyed a well-deserved rest on Monday after a compelling week of racing through the mountains of France. Much of the fruit of Ryder Hesjedal’s labour on Sunday, however, was in stage-winner Mark Cavendish’s (U.K.) basket. The latter cyclist of opposing team HTC-Highroad showed his dominance as the world’s top sprinter in a straightaway by shooting out of the peloton at the end of stage 15. Hesjedal’s Garmin-Cervelo teammate Tyler Farrar (U.S.) crossed the finish line just a half-metre back of Cavendish after Hesjedal and teammates laboured through the demanding hills of the 192.5-kilometres long stretch from Limoux to Montpellier. Hesjedal ended the day 127th though he was just 95 seconds back of Farrar, having pulled up on the final ascent. Victoria’s man on the tour entered Tuesday’s stage 16 at a steady 32nd overall, 25 minutes and 18 seconds back of yellow jersey holder Thomas Voeckler (France). Garmin-Cervelo have worked hard to keep 32-year-old tour rookie Tom Danielson (U.S.) in ninth position overall, five minutes and 26 seconds back. Wednesday’s stage 17 is 179kms from Gap to Pinerolo with an incredible descent that could favour Garmin-Cervelo sprinter Thor Hushovd’s chances at win-

ning the stage.

Soccer Results from the B.C. Soccer Youth Provincial B Cup championships in Penticton, July 7-10

The Victoria Grizzlies will play more Friday and Saturday night games this year as the B.C. Hockey League has tweaked the 2011-12 schedule to focus on those days. Considered “prime nights” by the league, 67 per cent of the 480 games will fall on Friday and Saturday, with the total number jumping to 83 per cent when Sunday is included. It means just 17 per cent of games will take place midweek. The Grizzlies start the season with a home-and-home against the Cowichan Captitals at Bear Mountain Arena at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, and in Cowichan at 7:30 p.m. the following night. Victoria’s regular season ends at home against Powell River on March 10. The B.C. Hockey League is celebrating its 50th season this year.

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

The Council will also take on the role of managing the art gallery in the new building. It is also in the process of reviewing all of its programming, to try to provide services for the full spectrum of arts – a goal that has been made more possible by the range of spaces available in the new facility. Among other new services coming to the centre, the Arts Calibre Academy will be setting up an art space pre-school. The private business delivers pre-school curriculum through the arts: music, dance, visual arts, spoken word and poetry. Adjacent to the preschool sits another unique element: a new rubber safety surface playground, bought from a Tire Stewardship B.C. grant and made from 100 per cent recycled tires. The federal and provincial governments each contributed approximately $1.33 million to the arts centre through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The District of Saanich covered the remaining costs, totalling $5 million.
