Pathways through municipality need improvement Cycling, walking in Oak Bay should be easier to do, transportation report states Vivian Moreau News staff

As they approached the crest of a curved bridge crossing Bowker Creek near Hampshire Road, Oak Bay Coun. John Herbert and parks and recreation director Lorna Curtis were met by a trio of trail users.

First came a cyclist, who, in her rush to pass, clipped Curtis’ shoulder. Next came a mother pushing a stroller. Last was an elderly woman straining to push her walker up and over the slope.

The sudden burst of traffic gave the municipal representatives a sense of just how crowded it can get.

“We need to do something about that,” Herbert said as he watched the senior cautiously descend. He pointed across the creek to a flat patch of grass. “There needs to be a flat pathway for people like her.”

It’s a practical suggestion, one also noted in an active transportation strategy report completed recently for the municipality. Written by planner Daniel Casey of Langford-based Boulevard Transportation Group, the 56-page document identifies routes, facilities, programs and regulations that would help Oak Bay be a better place to walk or cycle.

The report determined that

Trail users vary in Oak Bay, as this photo taken near Bowker Creek shows: a woman using a walker, a mom with a stroller and, in the distance, a man walking his dog. people who walk or ride – on bikes or in wheelchairs – “do so pretty easily right now,” Herbert said.

But the report recommended such changes as improving pathways across Oak Bay High’s property, along Elgin Road, and beside Henderson recreation centre.

“If we could get permission to put a trail along the ditch (from the former Uplands elementary) to Henderson rec centre, that would open things up to UVic,” Herbert noted.

He finished last in Oak Bay’s 2008 municipal election, but Corey Burger has still been a fixture at council meetings.

Over the past three years on Monday evenings, Burger, 29, has often been seated in the front row reading over the

council agenda and watching the goings-on.

“One thing I (learned about) was procedure – what things went when and how things are brought to council. I was also just seeing how (the) existing council makes decisions about things,” he said.

The Oak Bay resident, who received 1,157 votes last time around, announced last week that he will run again for a councillor position.

Women taking to trades Camosun launches second year of exploration program

IN BRIEF

UVic launches 50th anniversary site

The University of Victoria has launched a new website designed to create a buzz in advance of the institution’s 50th anniversary in 2012.

The site was unveiled last week at UVic’s annual United Way campaign kickoff.

Though the golden anniversary doesn’t officially begin until next September, the website is a place to find information about getting involved in the celebrations.

It also contains an archive of facts and photos from UVic’s first 50 years.

A “Great Moments in UVic History” feature is slated to be added next month. Visit www.uvic.ca/anniversary to learn more.

A

t age 21 and weighing 130 pounds, Mila Puharich knows she faces a few hurdles working as a steel fitter.

“There are challenges, but they are more about showing you’re confident enough,” she said. “You have to be able to prove you’re able to do the job (but) you have to do that in every job, no matter what gender you are.”

Since entering Camosun College’s Women in Trades Exploration program last year and completing her Level C welding training in March, Puharich heard a range of typical concerns from her female friends: “Isn’t it a man’s trade? How are you going to survive? Aren’t they going to push you around?”

She’s now an apprentice – and the only woman – in large-scale repair at Victoria Shipyards.

Times are changing and there are more opportunities for women, because of programs such as Women in Trades, which starts its next set of classes Oct. 3 at Camosun Interurban.

For Oak Bay resident Puharich, a career in the trades is following in her family’s footsteps.

“I don’t think I’m trades-minded, I just think we’re hands-on people,” she said.

Her grandfather was a welder, her father was an aircraft maintenance engineer, her sister is a carpenter and her mother is a former smallengine mechanic – who also built the family home.

“It’s a hard go for women in industry, in any non-traditional occupation. I’ve found that myself,” said Puharich’s mom, Val Aloian. “It was hard to get anywhere in those days, and now there’s a lot more support.”

The 62-year-old, also a former criminology instructor, said her daughters’ interest in the trades was most likely to do with their home environment. “(There were) lots of tools and lots of opportunity to use the tools,” Aloian said. “Even if you can’t do it well, you can still produce something. That was the environment the kids grew up in.”

Of the 14 students in last year’s program, six have moved on to other trades programs. The exploration program, aimed at helping unemployed or underemployed women gain skills to become tradespeople, is offered through the

It is sponsored through the Industry Training Authority and the Canada-B.C Labour Market Agreement. Since its inception in 2008, 1,021 women have benefited from the provincial training initiative.

“A lot of females go into automotive service tech,” said Karen McNeill, trades training development co-ordinator at Camosun.

“They’ve tinkered with gears with their dad and all of a sudden they’re thinking they’d like to move into that field. It works that way with everyone in the trades.”

The $5,200 tuition for Women in Trades is free to students who haven’t completed a postsecondary education and aren’t eligible for employment insurance. The course includes: books, supplies and tools for the trades; two days of instruction in each of 10 trades; bus passes; forklift training; basic first aid; fall protection; upgrading basic math and English, as well as worksite tours.

This year’s course runs Oct. 3 to Dec. 16.

FRIENDS UNTIL THE END Melissa Fryer Black Press

Words can’t describe the journey riders on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock experience.

The emotion, the physical endurance and fatigue is often only understood by the people who lived through it.

When former riders want or need to talk about their journey, they often turn to their former teammates for a sympathetic and understanding ear.

Or, like Oceanside RCMP Const.

Dave Kokesch, they turn to the people they met on the Tour. For him, it was a tiny tot not yet old enough to speak, but whose presence spoke volumes.

Kokesch joined the Tour in 2009, initially inspired by his grandchildren, but the two-week event’s cause – raising money for childhood cancer research – hit home for him after meeting Callum Brown.

Callum, not yet two when he met Kokesch, had a rare and aggressive form of cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy treatment at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“I learned more from him than anyone,” Kokesch said.

The 14-year police veteran often visited Callum and his family, playing video games with the youngster and introducing Callum at fundraising events.

“It was that family that I got my passion from,” he said. “There was a real strong bond with them.”

For Saanich police Const. Rob McDonald, he leaned on his teammates when fatigue from the ride and emotion from the events got the better of him.

“If someone was to put us all in a room, it would be like we’re still on tour,” he said. “It’s a life-changing event.”

McDonald’s ride in 2007 was the 10th anniversary of the Tour and included 10 civilians who had made a significant contribution to the event over its history. Traditionally, the team includes police officers and two media riders.

“The camaraderie was incredible,” McDonald said. “The large, non-police presence made us bond better.”

That camaraderie helped him weather the emotional strain of meeting children with cancer and sharing their stories with others.

Riders meet children of all ages in various stages of the disease – from cancer-free to palliative – in all communities the Tour visits.

At the time, McDonald was dealing with a more personal story: his baby daughter was born with Costello syndrome, which has a nasty side effect that makes her more susceptible to childhood cancer.

“That made it more important,” McDonald said.

For support he leaned on former Tour training co-ordinator Penny Durrant, whose duties he took over when he became training director.

In this leadership role, McDonald prepares new riders for the physical challenge of the ride so they can focus and prepare for the mental one.

“The emotional part – you can’t train anyone for that,” he said. “I’m there for them, without a doubt.”

Kokesch, who is also a trainer with the Tour, is proud that research – supported by fundraisers such as the Tour de Rock – has increased the survival rate for childhood cancers to four out of five.

“The money is saving children,” Kokesch said. “But when your child is (the one in) five that didn’t make it, it’s not good enough.”

Callum was that one. He died in October 2010 while staying at Canuck Place in Vancouver.

Kokesch is still in touch with Callum’s family and is helping to raise money for Callum House, a palliative care unit for children located in Nanaimo.

Money raised from the Tour de Rock also supports Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge.

The summer camp has medical support capabilities that allow children suffering from cancer to attend.

The Tour de Rock is currently

Blair Gowie will remain as is – for now.

The 1916-built Samuel Maclure mansion on Runnymede Place has been at the centre of a community controversy since potential buyers Ann Hillyer and Bruce Wilkin indicated their desire to subdivide the property.

Neither the couple nor the representative for the owners of the mansion, the Ellis family, would speak to the News about the status of the conditional offer agreed to earlier this year.

approached us,” he said.

The concessions being asked for included slicing off a 6,500square-foot section of the heritage-designated property and selling it to help pay for renovations on the house.

Nearby neighbours Ewa and Alan Lupin had circulated a petition and spoke several times at public meetings opposing the proposed heritage agreement.

In an email, the Lupins said they were pleased to hear the proposed development had been “postponed.” They hoped council will prevent future buyers from subdividing the land. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

confirmed that Hillyer and Wilkin said this summer they were not purchasing the property. The application for the heritage revitalization agreement they had been negotiating with the municipality was withdrawn, said director of planning Roy Thomassen.

Oak Bay resident Stefan Opalski said last year he would be willing to purchase the home without any of the concessions Hillyer and Wilkin were requesting in the heritage agreement.

But he hasn’t been able to confirm if the house is still for sale.

Another recommendation was to increase the number of bike racks, a tip Herbert isn’t convinced is necessary.

send it to council for review on Oct. 11.

Recommendations could be implemented within a year once they are prioritized, costs determined and funding is found, Herbert said.

Although the strategy is “a doable plan without costing a pile of money,” Curtis said, it has to co-ordinate with the Capital Regional District’s new $275million Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan.

That strategy recommends improvements across the 775-kilometre

regional network of off- and on-street bike lanes, including new signage, painted road lines and stencils or physical barriers, such as bollards.

Co-ordination is imperative, she added, because “nothing is worse from the public’s point of view than having bikes lanes on roads, such as from

Oak Bay Avenue to Foul Bay Road, that just stop. We have to make sure that doesn’t happen.” vmoreau@oakbay news.com

Police Board Vacancy

Provincial Government Appointment Civilian oversight for the Oak Bay Police Department is provided by the Oak Bay Police Board, which consists of the Mayor, one person appointed by Oak Bay Council, and three members appointed by the Province.

Working closely with Police Department management, the Board sets the departmental budgets and provides overall policy direction for policing in Oak Bay. The Board also deals with service complaints from the public as well as internal labour relations issues.

An opportunity to serve on the Police Board has arisen due to a pending vacancy in one of the positions appointed by the Province. Although this is a Provincial appointment (not one made by the Municipal Council), the Solicitor General’s office is open to hearing from individuals interested in this position.

Candidates must: • Reside in the District of Oak Bay • Undergo a criminal record check and personality suitability interview • Be expected to commit several hours a month to fulfill Board duties The term for this appointment is 1 (one) year and may be renewed up to a maximum of 6 (six) years.

This volunteer position would suit an individual who can work well as part of a team, and who can approach the business of the Board in an open and objective manner.

In making its selection, the Province is also mindful of the need to include different elements of the community represented by the Board.

This appointment is expected to be made before the end of the year; therefore, those interested should forward their name as soon as possible. Please submit your expression of interest to: Assistant Deputy Minister and Director of Police Services, Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, PO Box 9285 Stn. Prov Govt, Victoria, BC V8W 9J7. Fax: 250.356.7747. e-mail: SGPoliceBoard@gov.bc.ca For more information please visit www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/police_services or phone the undersigned at 250.598.3311.

OUR VIEW

Meeting helps local concerns be heard It’s been called a water cooler chat for the province’s grassroots politicians.

In many ways, a little networking is probably the best thing we can expect to come out of this week’s meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

The gathering in Vancouver of 1,500 councillors, mayors and municipal staff is the best way for the collective concerns Province not of communities to be raised with the levels compelled to of government that listen to councils can make a difference.

Take smart meters, for example. While the cities of Victoria and Colwood have each called for the government to issue a moratorium on the installation of the devices, their declarations are little more than an attempt to appease their respective electorates.

But if a majority of B.C. municipalities agree with the proposal, the UBCM can issue a statement that, theoretically, carries a lot more clout.

The province has said smart meters are here to stay and it is unwilling to change that stance. This might be the best way to manage the program from a technical and administrative point of view, but politically it’s beginning to feel a little too much like the HST “debate” all over again.

The reality is – despite the fact we call municipalities local government – they are utterly subservient to their master, the provincial government.

And while the province doesn’t have to listen to what individual mayors or councillors say, the annual meeting is a chance to spend a little oneon-one time lobbying a cabinet minister on an issue that he or she might not have the time for on a regular working day.

After the UBCM participants agree on what their shared beefs are this year, we don’t expect their resolutions to result in any changes to provincial policies. But we will be paying attention to what our local politicians are saying.

With civic elections set for Nov. 19, voters will want to know which names on their ballot have been working to best represent their interests.

Too many audiences, though, have checked their discerning tastes with their coats. The trend is having a real effect on performers.

Recently, I’ve been looking into blogs about standing ovations.

Actors and musicians are mourning the loss of meaning in standing Os. When it’s something that occurs after every performance, it no longer awards performers for putting in a spectacular effort.

Some blogs attempt to uncover why the standing O has become so standard. Is it increasing ticket prices, and performance-goers’ need to make themselves feel they’ve gotten their money’s worth?

Many point to peer pressure – the first few who stand up glare at the rudeness they perceive in others who don’t.

Finally, a friend asked why any of this even matters. What’s the harm in standing in appreciation?

Like tipping, standing ovations should be for the best of the best, but to the dismay of some, both have become common practice.

We’re killing the best method of showing appreciation for a performance that went over and above our expectations.

For the sake of those artists, standing ovations must die, for all but the best performances.

Woodland caribou herds are at a crossroads

David Suzuki

with Faisal Moola

As a nation and a global community, Canada has a history of ignoring environmental crises until it’s all but too late. Many of us remember the 1990s, when tens of thousands of Canadians in the Maritimes lost their livelihoods after overfishing wiped out fish stocks.

The boom-and-bust history reflected in the collapse of the East Coast cod fishery, and in logging communities and mining towns, should teach us that when an opportunity to get something right on the environment comes along, we must take immediate action or suffer the inevitable ecological and social consequences of our own shortsightedness.

Such a window of opportunity, to protect one of Canada’s most threatened wildlife species, has opened with the long-awaited release of the federal government’s draft recovery strategy for boreal woodland caribou.

The boreal caribou is an iconic species threatened with extinction from the Yukon right across the country to Labrador. (The draft strategy is open to public comment until Oct. 25, at www.sararegistry. gc.ca.)

A major prey species for wolves and other animals, including humans, woodland caribou are critical to

Readers respond: Regionalized efforts could pay off for all municipalities Getting important projects done requires regional co-operation. The $10-million replacement of the Craigflower Bridge using federal gas tax funds is a perfect example.

The CRD board supported the application from View Royal and Saanich to access the Federal Gas Tax funds because the Craigflower Bridge is an integral connection in a regionally significant transportation corridor.

We should consider all our major infrastructure projects in a regional context. Thirteen municipalities have 13 different lists of important projects. We’re all competing for the same pots of federal and provincial money. Let’s consolidate our lists and identify our common priorities. Speaking with a single voice will get the attention of senior governments.

For most residents of the Capital Region, the boundaries that separate Saanich from Victoria, Oak Bay and Esquimalt are immaterial. Commuters travel down our major corridors to get from home to work or school with little regard for the colour of the street signs.

Our elected officials need to start viewing the world in similar terms. We’re a region. Let’s act like one.

Transportation planning can clearly be shared. Let’s plan our transit routes, bus lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks and trails with the regional commuter in mind. Our vision for growth should be regional too. We have common values. Let’s articulate how we live up to those values through our Regional Sustainability Strategy.

Making land-use decisions at the regional

sustaining the health of complex food webs that have evolved over millennia and to the well-being of hundreds of Aboriginal communities in the North that depend on the animal for sustenance and survival.

Although woodland caribou were once abundant throughout much of Canada and the northern United States, they have since lost around half of their historical range because of logging, mining, seismic lines, roads, hydroelectric projects, and other developments that have disturbed and fragmented their forest habitat.

One endangered herd in Alberta’s tar sands region west of Fort McMurray is at great risk of disappearing. Clear-cutting and no-holds-barred oil and gas exploration and development have affected more than 60 per cent of the habitat of the Red Earth caribou herd, leaving little undisturbed forest where it can feed, breed and roam.

If there is good news, it is that the science is clear about what must be done to save this species from extinction. A recent analysis by experts with the International Boreal Conservation Science Panel concludes that governments need to ensure that large stretches of woodland caribou habitat are protected from industrial disturbance.

Specifically, herds will need at least two thirds of their ranges to be maintained in an undisturbed condition or restored to such. In core areas this could mean from 10,000 to 15,000 square kilometres of oldgrowth boreal forest being set aside.

Under the federal Species at Risk Act, recovery strategies must use the best available science and traditional Aboriginal knowledge to identify habitat the species needs to survive and recover. The government must also set population objectives and identify threats to species survival and how these threats can be reduced through better management.

The federal government has incorporated some of the important ideas advanced by scientists. Under the recovery strategy, core habitat will be protected for about half the herds left in Canada. However, the strategy suffers from serious shortcomings. Many herds, deemed not to be self-sustaining, appear to have been written off to remove barriers to further industrial activities in their habitat, such as tar sands development in Alberta.

Instead of protecting and restoring the remaining habitat of these herds, the government is proposing controversial band-aid measures like killing thousands of wolves and other predators.

This kind of management is aimed at stabilizing declining caribou populations rather than recovering them – a contravention of Canada’s Species at Risk Act. Canada’s official recovery strategy and supporting science show that if caribou are to survive, huge areas of the boreal will need to be protected, and we will have to embark on a more ecological approach to industrial development in those places that we exploit for timber and drill, frack, and strip-mine for fossil fuels.

Environmentalists and forestry companies are already attempting that by working together under the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement to develop joint caribou conservation plans that protect habitat while ensuring the economic viability of companies is maintained.

The federal government’s plans will help those herds that have been deemed self-sustaining, but they fall far short of what is necessary to ensure that dozens of herds won’t perish. As such, it is a compromise that is too costly for caribou, and ultimately our own country, to bear.

lobbying as a region, taxation, B.C. economy, attack ads

level, however, doesn’t make sense and isn’t good governance.

I hear from residents that they like that they can pick up the phone and call their councillor about a neighbourhood issue.

An amalgamated regional government would sever that community relationship.

We’d likely have a ward system with two or three local representatives per district on a 20- or even 50-member board. That’s too big, too far removed from local issues and local residents.

Let’s let local councils make the local land use decisions. But let’s regionalize the common services and work together on planning and implementing a regional vision. It’s better governance, better service, and it just makes sense.

Dean Murdock Saanich councillor

Pensioners suffering in taxation turmoil Enough is enough.

Stop taking the money right out of our pockets. You want to reduce carbon? Start by closing all the coal plants and force gas companies to stop using carbon in their gas and oil products. None of this three years garbage, do it now!

It’s the same as the HST. We were not consulted it was just rammed down our throats. All the promises from the HST system were lies, so the people thought it might be better. Well, let me tell you, as a person on PWD (disability benefits), I really got shafted. We ended up paying more tax, the B.C. $75 tax credit was discontinued and our GST/HST refunds were reduced by one-quarter to one-third.

We have not had a cost of living increase

in our benefits in more than five years.

I see this carbon tax as just another money grab that will further deplete lowincome people’s ability to survive. We live on $10,300 gross per year. Will anyone in the government take a salary cut? I don’t think so. Just try to live on $890 a month and see if you can do it.

Ron Mason Victoria

Current conditions in B.C. reflect 1930s in NYC What can we learn from Henry LaGuardia and his role in infrastructure and building livable communities?

LaGuardia, a Republican, had support across party lines and was very popular in New York during the 1930s. LaGuardia revitalized New York City and restored public faith in city hall. He unified the transit system; directed the building of lowcost public housing, public playgrounds, and parks; constructed airports; reorganized the police force, according to a Wikipedia article.

Do any of these objectives seem like the present situation in B.C.? Do we need a unified transit system? Do we need more low-cost housing? Do we need to resolve our infrastructure deficit? Are we facing debt conditions similar to the depression era? Are we arguing over transit governance?

Yet it was a conservative Republican who understood that a strong economy needs to provide affordable transportation, housing and other amenities. He 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 centre, transportation centre and so on.

Jack Layton also advocated the need for mass transit to increase accessibility and mobility for low-income people. Both saw the futility of polarized politics during economic distress. Sadly, both pragmatists are gone.

Avi Ickovitch Langford

Political attack ads work both ways Re: B.C. importing U.S.-style politics (B.C. Views, Sept. 21) Negative attack ads achieve voter suppression. YouTube’s “Christy Crunch” is just a humorous and accurate portrayal of her policies rather than negative attack ads. It’s the Clark Liberals’ and the Harper Conservatives’ doom-and-gloom style negative attack ads that achieve voter suppression.

Otherwise, if “going negative early … worked spectacularly for Harper’s Conservatives,” as Tom Fletcher claimed, what about those attack ads that maligned Jack Layton as well? At least hundreds of thousands of new votes went to the NDP, giving them historic opposition status. So something else is at play below the radar.

I can’t see Christy Crunch or Stephen Harper and their privileged or confused followers trying door-to-door for more than a few minutes of photo-ops.

Musical medley part of VCM Presents series Concerts offer jazz, classical, new and re-arranged music Erin Cardone News staff

The haunting rumble of the 103year-old organ shook the pews in Alix Goolden Hall at the hands of seasoned organist Nicholas Fairbank. Immediately following him was the shiver-inducing voice of Kathryn Whitney, then a piano duel performance, followed by an improv jazz number.

The mini-concert Tuesday offered “a taste” of what’s to come in the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s “VCM Presents” concert series, said conservatory dean and artistic director, Jamie Syer.

The lineup “fits the idea that this is going to be a series that makes the music come off the stage.”

Starting next month and running until May 2012, the series includes six shows from a wide range of musical talents from Greater Victoria and away.

It begins with the Cecilia String

Guitarist Rob Cheramy, left, bassist Joey Smith and saxophonist Gordon Clements perform a jazz number in the Alix Goolden Peformance Hall on Pandora Avenue. The trio were performing at the launch of the VCM Presents concert series.

Sunday, Oct. 16 at Alix Goolden Hall.

The next day at 5 p.m. they play a special master class concert for conservatory students and the public in Wood Hall off Johnson

Street. Admission to the Monday performance is by donation.

On Nov. 20, faculty members play a variety of compositions by conservatory artists, including two pieces that will be played for the public for the first time. The program includes rearrangements of contemporary music on cello, viola, guitars and percussion.

The next concert is January Jazz with trumpeter/pianist Brad Turner. He’ll join up with faculty member Joey Smith on bass, George McFetridge on guitar and Gordon Clements on sax.

Later comes “Duelling Pianos” in February, the Faculty Spotlight in April and Sara Davis Buechner on piano in May. “There’s very good variety,” Joey Smith said of the series. “It covers all the different aspects of the conservatory.”

Syer said the goals of VCM Presents – it’s the first series of its kind at the conservatory – are to bring touring artists to Victoria, to give an outlet for faculty to perform and to create concert opportunities for people who love to play.

People attending the concerts might find themselves enjoying a

different musical style, he added.

“Whatever you think is your favourite (style), come for it all, because you might be surprised.”

City’s football rivalry on hold

Junior-B returns to West Shore for 2012-13 season Charla Huber News staff

Now that the Westshore Stingers have been laid to rest, a new junior-B hockey team will rise from the ashes next season.

Four West Shore businessmen have banded together to purchase the rights to a franchise in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, effectively replacing the Stingers.

Kory Gronnestad, Ken Carson, Dave Horner and Derrick Hamilton are in the process of buying the franchise rights and plan to keep the junior-B team on the West Shore. Carson is the owner of Carson Mechanical, Horner owns Willow Leaf Holdings and Hamilton is co-partner on HHS Drilling and Blasting.

Operations for the Stingers have been suspended since December, 2010.

The four owners are all friends who live on the West Shore and played as kids, some with the Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association, and have children playing for Juan de Fuca.

“This is not something we are trying to make money on,” said Carson, who is also president of Juan de Fuca minor hockey.

“The team was for sale and we thought it made sense,” said Gronnestad, president of Scansa Construction, based in Langford.

The plan is to base the team out of the new Westhills Arena at City Centre Park. The club will be up and running for the 2012-13 season, but the angry mosquito logo won’t return.

“We’ll definitely be changing the name,” Gronnestad said, but not yet.

Charla Huber/News staff

Kory Gronnestad and Ken Carson are two of the four friends buying the rights to operate a junior-B hockey team on the West Shore.

“The name could be tied to a business. We will be getting suggestions from the community, too.”

The deal has been crafted through the Stingers’ owner and the league, said VIJHL president Greg Batters.

“We are thrilled,” Batters said. “We are just crossing our ‘T’s and dotting the ‘I’s.”

“We didn’t buy the Westshore Stingers, we bought the rights to operate a West Shore junior-B team.”

– Kory Gronnestad Starting a team from scratch is never easy, but the new owners will also have to deal the recent history of the team. The Stingers were put on a six-month leave from the league in

December 2010 after a player revolt led to an inability to field enough players to take the ice.

The Sooke Stingers started in 2005 and played the past three years out of Bear Mountain Arena.

“We didn’t buy the Westshore Stingers, we bought the rights to operate a West Shore junior-B team,” Gronnestad said. “This is a brand new team ... a fresh start.”

Player recruitment is nearly underway and the owners are seeking coaches.

Training camp will start in August of next year, like the rest of the league.

The new owners are keen to give Juan de Fuca minor hockey players the option to continue in junior-B. “Kids want to play hockey in front of their family and friends,” Gronnestad said. “We want to keep the local kids here to play.” sports@goldstreamgazette.com

High school wrestlers itching to hit the mat An icon among Victoria school sports, 77-year-old wrestling coach Ed Ashmore, is back to lead the Victoria Bulldogs district school team for one more year.

Practices for the club run 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday in the gymnasium at Cedar Hill middle school, 3910 Cedar Hill Rd. “We’re really excited with lots of returning members this year,” said Ashmore, the commissioner of school wrestling. “It’s been a while since I had kids calling me in June (for the upcoming season). Of course we’re always open to teaching new kids.”

It doesn’t get better for football fans than a Friday night tilt between the city’s only two high school clubs.

Unfortunately, limited numbers on the Belmont Bulldogs is causing early havoc to the team’s season.

The Island’s Tier-II champions in 2010 were to host the nationally ranked No. 17 Mount Douglas Rams at Bear Mountain Stadium in City Centre Park today, but the game is cancelled.

It would have been the final preseason match for both teams.

Belmont is coming off a tough 35-8 loss against their Nanaimo namesake last week, the John Barsby Bulldogs, a game that only made it to the half due to a shortage of numbers by Belmont.

The Rams are a provincial contender to win the triple-A title despite losing 35-18 to a tough team from Bainbridge, Wash., on Sept. 16.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to open the Island conference season against the G.P. Vanier Towhees at Belmont, 5 p.m., Oct. 7. Likewise, the Rams kick off their season in the highly-competitive triple-A Western Conference against Vancouver’s storied Notre Dame Jugglers at Royal Athletic Park, 5 p.m., Oct. 7.

Vikes visit T-Birds’ player of the week Current national field hockey team player and former Vic High student Robyn Pendleton is the Female Athlete of the Week for the Canada West conference.

Pendleton scored three goals in two games to help her UBC Thunderbirds sweep the Calgary Dinos.

The fourth-year forward scored twice on Sept. 24 as the Thunderbirds won 3-0 and once more in a 3-1 win on Sept. 25. The UVic Vikes (1-3) visit UBC (3-1) Oct. 1 and 2. sports@vicnews.com

‘Eh Blacks’ within reach of Rugby World Cup goal

Rebels at home in third

Travis Paterson News staff

Travis Paterson News staff

The Westshore Rebels’ 35-28 win over the Langley Rams last Saturday cracked the stalemate within the B.C. Junior Football Conference’s power hierarchy.

The third-place Rebels (4-4) visit the fifth-place Kamloops Broncos (1-7) on Saturday.

With the powerhouse Vancouver Island Raiders (8-0) atop the standings and the Okanagan Sun (7-1) just behind them, the season standings have been set in cement since August. Until last week the Rams held third, the Rebels fourth and the Broncos and Chilliwack Huskers (0-8) the fifth and sixth spots, respectively.

Consider this: the Rebels beat the Rams despite the fact the Rebels couldn’t get close to the Sun earlier this season losing 49-7 on Aug. 20 and 69-0 on Sept. 17. The Rams, meanwhile, did much better against the Sun, losing 33-23 on Aug. 6, then nearly upsetting them in a 15-14 loss on Aug. 13.

Yet the Rams had little answer for the Rebels offence Saturday as quarterback Catlyn Todorvich spurred a massive effort

Gary Ahuja/Black Press

Westshore Rebels quarterback Catlyn Todorvich eludes the tackle of Langley Rams’ Buddy Hutcheson at Langley’s McLeod Park on Sept. 24. The Rebels held on for the 35-28 victory. with 533 yards gained, 357 of them along the ground. The Rams nearly tied the score late in the fourth quarter but a game-saving interception by Michael Hansen sealed the win for the Rebels.

The only remaining question now is whether the Rebels will enter the playoffs in third or fourth. The top four teams make the post-season. The Rebels face the

Rams once more, Oct. 8 at Bear Mountain Stadium.

The Rams can steal third place back with a win by more than seven points – even if the Rebels follow through as heavy favourites and take down the Broncos, and the Rams drop their game to the Raiders this weekend. sports@vicnews.com

From the start of the the 2011 Rugby World Cup, Canada’s only realistic goal was a thirdplace finish. After a 23-23 tie with Japan on Monday that goal is now within reach.

The Eh Blacks, as Canada’s (1-1-1) come to be known on home soil, plays the New Zealand All Blacks (3-0) on Saturday (Oct. 1).

The game will be aired locally at 7:30 p.m. on TSN. With the draw against Japan, Canada earned two points and have six overall, one ahead of Tonga. The top two teams from each pool move on to the playoff rounds, which in Canada’s pool will almost certainly be New Zealand and France.

The gift bag for finishing third, however, is something Canada would love to bring home.

Up for grabs is automatic qualification to the 2015 RWC in England, saving Rugby Canada several hundred thousand in costs for qualifying games. It also gains Rugby Canada access to the International Rugby Board wallet, to the tune of increased funding by several million dollars. Lastly, Canada can expect big-name visitors next June as part of the IRB Test window – meaning top ten nations will do outbound tours in June to North America and accept in-bound tours from Canada in November. Recently Canada hasn’t been on that schedule - instead playing Tier II nations such as Belgium, Spain and Portugal.

However, Canada can still slip to fourth.

Tonga plays France today (Sept. 30) and it’s possible Tonga can earn two bonus points and push past Canada if the latter comes up empty against the All Blacks. sports@vicnews.com
