ICE TEEN

“I’ve been on this water my entire life, and it would be really cool to see what it’s like up there … It has everything to do with climate change, and I’m really passionate about the environment.” - Jamie Hargreaves

Jamie Hargreaves peruses the textbook she’ll be immersed in this summer in preparation for her Arctic expedition aboard CCGS Amunden (shown on the cover of the book) this September.

Parkland student set to sail with scientists in September Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

A community can raise a child, but the Peninsula is going one better — sending a teen on an arctic expedition. Jamie Hargreaves will spend two-and-ahalf weeks on board CCGS Amundsen this September, due in large part to the support of neighbours and businesses on the Saanich Peninsula. The 16-year-old Parkland student is already spending her summer on the water, sailing for both pleasure and work, in ways she has for the last decade of her life. The family moved to the island when she was five and the first thing they did was buy a boat. The straight-A student currently envisions a career in marine biology or veterinary. “My summers are filled with sailing and boating,” said Hargreaves, whose many ath-

letics also includes rowing. “The wildlife in the water amazes me. It’s so abundant and adaptive.” The eight students selected from across Canada will be immersed in the activities of the ArcticNet science team aboard Amundsen. “It exposing young people to research methods so they get to see what scientists do … it gives them an opportunity to see what real researchers do,” said neighbour Susan Simosko, who’s taken on the role of business and community liaison for Hargreaves’ fundraising campaign. They board the ship off shore near Kugluktuk, Nunavut on Sept. 22 and return to Kugluktuk Oct. 5 where the Amundsen will be supporting ArcticNet mooring and oceanographic sampling operations in the Mackenzie Shelf/Amundsen Gulf region. “I’ve been on this water my entire life, and it would be really cool to see what it’s like

up there,” Hargreaves said. “It has everything to do with climate change, and I’m really passionate about the environment.” Passion aside, Hargreaves still needs to raise about $4,400 to cover expenses for the scientific trip. “I’m super-impressed with the support from the community,” she said. Already donations have come in from large entities like the Victoria International Airport and Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. “The people we’ve got involved are really excited about it,” said Simosko. And it’s more than just monetary support. Once she returns, Hargreaves plans to do an Arctic and Us Day at the aquarium; Tanner’s Books will do up a display from mid-September to mid-October covering all things Arctic and climate change; and the airport will host a display Hargreaves will put together on her return. The application Hargreaves made to

Schools on Board included the proposals to reach the broader community. “The school got accepted because of the community value,” Hargreaves said. The teen looks forward to learning “just how the climate affects the Arctic and how it reflects here … anything that happens in the arctic is shadowed here.” And she anticipates sharing a youth’s perspective with others after the experience. “We’re in the generation of climate change,” she explained. On Aug. 20, Hargreaves will get wet washing cars at Spelt’s Shell in Saanichton to raise funds. She’s also slated a fundraiser for Sept. 16 at Parkland secondary, where The Archers will perform and Hargreaves will talk a little about her upcoming expedition.

NEWS REVIEW

Ballerinas of the sky National competition forces cancellation of local air show Kyle Slavin and Laura Lavin News staff

Like a pro golfer lining up his drive from the tee, Mark Byrne takes time to correct his posture, balance his weight and position his arms comfortably before beginning. Now he’s ready to go. With the flick of a joystick, the large but lightweight airplane in front of him zooms across a flat Central Saanich field and lifts gracefully into the air. “It’s like ballet in the air,” Byrne said of his hobby, precision aerobatics with radiocontrolled airplanes. With a calm demeanour, the 50-year-old sends his brightly coloured plane away from Michell Airpark while performing loops and rolls and turns midair. “We do a lot of the manoeuvres you see in a full-scale air show,” he said, listing off such moves as Cuban eights, stall turns and eight-point rolls integrated within the loop. Piloting an RC aircraft, he says, is more difficult than taking the helm of an airplane. “Flying full scale, you’re in control at the centre of the airplane. But with this, you’re on the ground just watching from a dis-

tance. Your mind’s trying to tell your fingers what to tell the airplane to do,” Byrne said. Difficulty aside, the Saanich resident has been a competitive flier for half a dozen years and represented Canada at the FAI World Championship in Muncie, Indiana. The competition is the Olympics for model aircraft owners, he says. Four Canadians, including another local, Dave Reaville, travelled to Indiana for the Worlds, competing against some 90 other pilots from 32 different countries. Canada fares relatively well on the international circuit, said Byrne, usually cracking the top-10 at the biennial World Championships. This will be his first time piloting at the competition, and he’s looking forward to literally flying the flag for his country. To help judges and spectators identify his plane in the air, Byrne’s painted a large Canadian flag on the underbelly of his craft. “I’m really excited about representing Canada. It’s an honour,” he said. The honour, however, takes him out of town during the time the highly-anticipated Victoria’s Largest Little Air show was scheduled to take place at Michell Airpark. “Being head of the organizing and not being around to get the organization going because I am going to be at the World Championships … it was just too much,” said Byrne. So the show has been cancelled for this year. “Like any organization you have lots of

None of the “worker bees” agreed to step up and organize the air show in his place, so the Victoria Radio Control Modellers Society decided to cancel the air show this year. “Everybody is just taking a break,” said Mike Scholefield, who headed up the air show for 10 years and passed the position to Byrne two years ago. “We took the option to do a retooling for next year and come up

with something different, but the same sort of format for charities.” Victoria’s Largest Little Air show has raised more than $117,000 for C-FAX Santa’s Anonymous and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation since its origin. “It’s one of the most successful events in Victoria,” said Scholefield. “We are going to come back next year and hopefully make it a bit different.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

The deadline is fast approaching to get your HST referendum ballot counted. By 4:30 p.m. on Friday (Aug. 5), your referendum package must be complete and in the hands of Elections B.C. or Service B.C. That means mailing in your vote is essentially a non-option at this point. “Postmarks will not be accepted as proof of meeting the deadline,” said acting chief electoral officer Craig James with Elections B.C. According to Canada Post, they commit to a letter taking three days to travel from Victoria to Vancouver. “If people are going to be mailing it out after Tuesday, I would be worried (about the HST pack-

age not arriving by Friday’s deadline),” said Colleen Frick, spokesperson for Canada Post. Alternatively, she suggests people can priority courier or express post their ballot, which has a two-day travel time. Residents can also drop their package off in person at an approved location. For Capital Region residents, that means the Elections B.C. office located at 100-1112 Fort St. The next closest location to drop it off at is the Service B.C. office in Duncan. The outcome of the non-binding referendum is expected to be known by September. Premier Christy Clark has promised that government will abide by its result. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Smart meters on the way Privacy, health concerns raised for wireless readers Natalie North News staff

Health and privacy concerns have prompted an organized outcry to smart meters being installed by B.C. Hydro in Greater Victoria this summer. The utility company is switching to wireless meters that use lowlevel radio waves to transmit information on a home’s power usage back to B.C. Hydro collectors. Sharon Noble, chairperson of Citizens Against Unsafe Emissions and co-ordinator of the national Wireless Radiation Safety Council, is leading the charge locally to warn the public about the meters. Her primary concerns are centred around the potential health effects of the radio waves, especially given the wide scope of the $930-million program. “You’re going to have a meter on your house,” Noble said. “Your neighbours are going to have a meter on their house and they’re going to be communicating through each other to what I call the mother ship — a transmitter somewhere that’s gathering (the information).” Noble accuses B.C. Hydro of misleading the public with false information around the level of electromagnetic radiation from the meters, which the corporation says has been measured at less than two microwatts per square centimetre when standing adjacent to the meter. The meters transmit data four to six times per day adding up to about one minute of activity, said Hydro spokesperson Fiona Taylor. Over the projected 20-year lifespan of the meter, the device’s emissions will equate to a single 30-minute cellphone call. The program follows four years of research by the Crown corporation, which reports to the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Sharon Noble holds a high-frequency analyzer next to one of B.C. Hydro’s electromechanical meters. This meter, complete with digital display, will be replaced by a smart meter in the fall. “Our mandate is to supply safe, reliable, cost-effective energy to our customers,” Taylor said. “At its heart, it’s about adding almost two million eyes and ears to the grid, so that we, on the utility side, are able to understand what’s happening with our electricity: where is it being used and where are we losing it?”

Tampering with the current meters poses safety risks to both B.C. Hydro staff and those who steal the energy. Without changes to rates, Hydro estimates the program will save $1.6 billion in operating costs, and eliminate an estimated 8,500-11,000 gigawatt hours of energy stolen annually, as well as improve safety for front-line

employees. Those concerned with electromagnetic sensitivity and radio waves aren’t the only groups questioning smart meters. Both the Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C. and B.C. Civil Liberties Association have identified personal security issues with the power usage information the meters transmit. Freedom of information and protection of privacy legislation in the province requires private information to be kept confidential. Rob Holmes, president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said the difficulty with the law is how to define if power usage information is private or simply data held by a utility company. The other “gaping loophole,” Holmes said, is that law enforcement agencies have the right to request any personal information, so you end up not having the protection when you really need it. “The more information that (the government) can glean in relation to your use patterns, the more they can get a fix on all sorts of aspects of your private life — when you get up at night, how much you flush the toilet — those things most of us would like to keep away from other people,” Holmes said. “As soon as you start collecting this amount of data, you’re collecting a honey pot and people are going to want in,” said Micheal Vonn, policy director with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. The provincial Information and Privacy Commissioner is currently reviewing the program. “I think people don’t understand how smart meters work, but I have had letters and emails and calls from British Columbians who want to ensure that we’re watching and that we’re working with B.C. Hydro to ensure that privacy is protected,” said Elizabeth Denham, privacy commissioner. B.C. Hydro has installed the meters in Richmond and Prince George and expects to begin installing them on Greater Victoria homes by September. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Can Hydro’s smart meters affect your health? determined by the so-called “field strength” Radio waves are all around us. There are of the radio wave, measured as power per natural radio waves from the sun and from unit area (e.g. watts per square centimetre). lightning. There are man-made radio waves For the same power, if the distance used for television, radios for music, is doubled, the field strength drops two-way radios for aircraft, boats, four-fold. If the distance is increased taxis and police, microwave ovens, 100-fold, then the field strength drops cordless phones, wireless internet 10,000-fold.

less. The effect of Wi-Fi is generally much less controversial than that of cellphones. A typical smart meter emits about one watt of power, but is usually several meters away, and typically emits for only about a minute per day. So the field strength from a typical smart meter is about the same or less than that of Wi-Fi, but it is significantly less active than Wi-Fi. The effect of smart meters on human health should be similar or less than the effect that Wi-Fi has on human health. The effect on individuals may vary. Just as some people sunburn quickly and others are more tolerant, it may be that your individual tolerance to radio waves may be lower or higher than others. If you are comfortable with Wi-Fi in your home, then you need not worry about smart meters. But, if you choose to avoid using Wi-Fi in your home because you have health concerns, then you may want to avoid smart meters. Peter F. Driessen is a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Victoria. editor@saanichnews.com

Radio waves explained The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified radio frequency waves — those emitted by smart meters, cellphones and wireless routers — as a type 2B carcinogen, or possibly cancer-causing. Mary McBride, a scientist at the B.C. Cancer Agency who co-authored the study on which the decision was based, explains the impacts radio waves have on the body. Two things must happen in sequence to cause cancer, McBride said. First, damage must be done to DNA; and second, cellular changes affecting growth and division which cause uncontrolled proliferation that will spread throughout the body. However, not all cellular changes cause this proliferation, she said. There is a wealth of research into whether or not radio frequency rays cause these kinds of changes, she added. “With all that research — millions of dollars — we have not been able to confirm that radio waves damage DNA or that they cause any of these cellular changes that lead to cell proliferation after the DNA of a cell has been damaged.” Additionally, radio frequency exposure diminishes significantly with increased distance from the source. The formula is if a person is twice as far away from the source of the radio frequency waves, their exposure drops by one quarter, as compared to someone at the source. The study showed no increased risk of cancer with increased hours of cellphone usage except for within the 10 per cent of users with the most cumulative hours of use. Researchers have not been able to explain the possible threshold effect, and therefore the classification of radio waves as a 2B carcinogen reflects the limited evidence. “The fact that we haven’t seen any excess cancer risk to RF-exposed animals in the animal studies suggests that there may be ways that the body has to deal with any negative cellular changes.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Crash at Victoria airport injures six Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Six people were injured in a dramatic car crash at the Victoria International Airport July 29. “Just before 1 p.m. this afternoon we had a report of a motor vehicle collision at the entrance to the terminal at the airport. A vehicle has left the road and hit a picnic table or a series of picnic tables right beside the taxis,” said Cpl. Chris Swain, spokesperson for the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. “Five people at those picnic tables were hit by that car after it left the road and then continued from there and hit the side of a building which is beside the main terminal.” There’s no indication yet of why the vehicle drove over the curb from the parking lot, across the airport entry road, over a raised green area where it struck five people and a cab, hit a baggage carrier holding structure, and across another stretch of pavement before hitting the security building. “Right now there’s five people who were hit by the car that have all been sent to hospital with serious injuries and the driver of the car has also been transported to hospital,” Swain said. “The cause is obviously still under investiga-

People sitting on the bench, they can’t move from there,” explained the Yellow Cab driver, who was himself headed to sit with his friends. One the most seriously injured is a man in his 50s that Nagra said has been a driver with the company for 20 years. “The car rolled over his body,” Nagra said. The car also

struck some of his friends, Nagra added. “Very scary,” Nagra said. “We are very upset.” Island District RCMP traffic analysts were quickly on scene. No one was injured inside the security building. “I’ve spoken to the Victoria Airport Authority and they’re working closely with us in this investigation obviously because it’s their property, but they’re saying there’s no delays on any of the flights or people accessing the terminal,” Swain said. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered. Dr. Paul Neumann

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

OUR VIEW

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

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

The 10 commandments of road design. • Thou shalt minimise the mixing of fast moving highway traffic with slow moving local traffic. • Thou shalt provide for pavement widening and rapid transit in the future at minimum cost. • Thou shalt not mix sightseeing traffic with commuter traffic. • Thou shalt not mix automobile traffic with bicycles. • Thou shalt not allow pedestrians alongside vehicular traffic. • Thou shalt not rely on directional signs and pavement markings within an interchange. • Thou shalt not introduce friction points leading to accidents. • Thou shalt give priority to large volume directional traffic. • Thou shalt not allow pedestrian overpasses and park and ride facilities within an interchange. • Thou shalt analyse effect on the entire local road system. In other words-keep it simple stupid. Who said that? The recommended solution. (The authorities were given the lay outs more than five years go.) • Simple high speed dedicated fly-over for Victoria-airport-Victoria traffic connecting to Willingdon Road. • Close McTavish road at the highway. • Route McTavish traffic via East Saanich Road to the airport round-a-bout on Willingdon Road, then via Willingdon to the highway. • Cut connection to slow moving Lochside Drive. • A new grade separation with simple cloverleaf at Ocean Avenue providing direct access to Sidney, Anacortes ferry terminal and the Lochside waterfront including hotels and restaurants. • Route all bicycle traffic via Ocean Ave. • Ocean Ave. to go under the highway in a split grade. • Locate a park and ride on Eighth Street near Ocean Ave. The result.

As I walked along Beacon Avenue early this morning, I watched the green canopy of a tree shudder and disappear on Bevan, behind the Safeway-Shoppers complex. And I thought of trees I’ve loved, especially the 200 year old oak that grew beside my childhood home in California. I spent many summer hours cradled in the arms of that tree. It was my refuge when I was sad or upset; it gave a sense of permanence in an often shifty world, and an example of how to endure anything and everything. It couldn’t, however, survive the bulldozer that pushed it to the ground, in the name of laying out that most prosaic of land uses (aside from a shopping mall), a school bus parking lot. The tree on Bevan is only one of several felled in recent months. All trees inspire me, whether standing two centuries or two years, and it is sickening to see them sacrificed to make room for some fresh blot on an increasingly Walmarted landscape. Our riding recently made history by electing a Green MP — yet where is all the green going? Does anybody notice, or care? Grant Hayter-Menzies, Sidney

Time to face the music Day after day the media is bombarding us with negativity. Every year it’s the same thing, people continue to be irresponsible. They throw cigarette butts out their car windows and start forest fires. They are too lazy to keep their garbage contained so bears keep coming and they get shot. Then the price of gas goes up two cents a litre — what a travesty — yet drivers can afford to get in a line up with the car running to get a morning coffee. Pay a toll on a super-bridge — not us — we’ll drive miles out of our way to save a few dollars. All those that complain about the HST, how it’s gouging into their spending money. Still it does not stop those that can drink until 4 a.m. or pay hundreds of dollars for hockey or most sporting events. How about growing up people? Be responsible for our actions. If we want better roads, highways, safer streets, we the public have to pay. Free went out of style a long time ago. Eileen Nattrass, Central Saanich

Mandatory census deadline passes

Kyle Slavin News staff

If your census questionnaire is still sitting in a pile of papers on the counter, don’t be surprised to see a Statistics Canada enumerator at your door, reminding you to fill it out. Last week marked a soft deadline for enumerators to remind as many people as they can, but if you’ve ignored previous reminders, one last

one is on the way. “Those who have not yet completed will get another letter from the chief statistician stipulating the importance and legal obligations of completing the census,” said Peter Liang, census communications manager for B.C. “The refusal cases will be referred to Public Prosecution Services of Canada. … The Statistics Act does stipulate those who refuse can face a fine up to $500.” Following the 2006 Census, Statis-

tics Canada forwarded 64 cases for possible prosecution. “We’re not interested in prosecuting people. We are in the business of collecting important information so your community has what it needs to make informed decisions,” Liang said. Census information helps all levels of government decide funding measures for such services as schools, hospitals, public transportation, police and fire. As well, the informa-

tion will help determine how many seats BC has in the next House of Commons. While completing the short-form census is mandatory, the more extensive National Household Survey is not. Statistics Canada mailed out an estimated 15 million forms in all this year. If you haven’t already done so, you can complete your census or the NHS online at census2011.gc.ca. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Peninsula Country Market turns 20 The Peninsula Country Market will celebrate 20 years with a ribbon cutting ceremony during the second annual BC Farmers Appreciation Week. Billed as the South Island’s largest openair market, with 35,000 shoppers each season, the Peninsula Country Market can now welcome shoppers in style. Funded by the community grant-inaid program, the new entrance has the capability to post community events and display some of the wonderful products vendors have available. More than 50 vendors each week selling farm-fresh produce, specialty foods and crafts, offer shoppers a scenic rural experience and opportunity. “We’re launching our weekly Celebrity Chef Series cooking demonstration, along with live musical entertainment and even fun games for the kids, as well as the kids at heart,” said Lynn Fanelli, market manager. “Each week we’ve got lots of free parking, free admission and our big grass field is dog friendly and wheelchair accessible.” The market celebrates two decades on Saturday, Aug. 6 at 11 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony officially opening the new entrance. The Peninsula Country Market is located at the Saanich Fairgrounds, 1528 Stelly’s X Road, and runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays from June 4 to Oct. 8. After the Saanich Fair on Labour Day weekend in September, the market goes inside the RCMP Barn at the fairgrounds. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Racers second in Edmonton

Victoria’s Bill Okell and Dave Cormier drove to respective second-place finishes at the 2011 Eurasia Cup Invitational sports car race in Edmonton on July 24. The race ran on the Edmonton Indy track, just prior to the Indy Car race. Racing at the same time, Okell rallied his 1964 MGB to second in the third tier, or GT3, while Cormier pushed his 2008 Porsche to second overall (GT1). Recent improvements to his car forced Okell up a class in the sports car series from GT4 to GT3 once he arrived in Edmonton. It was a redeeming weekend for Okell, who passed three cars in the second-to-last-lap. “(Moving up a class) was an added challenge we were able to meet,” Okell said, despite breaking a cylinder and getting getting strafed by a corvette. The cylinder went during Saturday’s (July 23) qualifying, and the how-do-you-do from the Corvette happened when both cars were trying to avoid a crash in the 45 minute race. Cormier ran third for most of the race when one of the two drivers ahead of him got penalized for contact with another car in the 48 car field. Next for Okell are two sports car club races, Aug. 6 and 7 at Mission Raceway, where he’s tied for first in the point standings after three of 10 races this year. Cormier will return to the Pirelli Driver’s Cup series in California in September. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

Petty: a solo tribute to Tom Petty showcases the talented guitarist/ vocalist, Frank Murray, performing an intimate, yet energizing show that features acoustic and electric renditions of 30 years of Tom Petty hits. Murray has an uncanny visual, musical and vocal similarity to Petty

and many times after a performance will have to explain to members of the crowd that he is not Tom Petty.

Musical celebrates loggers of yesterday The glory days of logging in B.C. are coming home to the Royal B.C. Museum once again. Presented by The Other Guys Theatre Company, Good Timber: Songs and Stories of the Western Logger is a multimedia musical revue showcasing B.C. logging in its heyday. The show sold out at the Royal B.C. Museum last summer, and since then has been on the road in Washington State and coastal B.C. Based on the logger poetry of Robert E. Swanson, the Bard of the Woods, the ensemble has created a show of songs and stories played against a multi-media backdrop of rarely-seen archival imagery. The 90-minute show runs nightly at 8 p.m., Aug. 8 to 27, at the Royal B.C. Museum, 675 Belleville St. Tickets are $17 to $22, plus tax and service fees, and are available by visiting the museum box office or calling 250-356-7226.

Everyone behind checked up and some damage was done to Dan Myers and Aaron Wilkie’s machines as Wade had started to open a good lead. On the restart, Wade again got a good jump and went back to the lead as Cody Aumen made his way into second.

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

On a later restart Wade had Aumen on his outside and these two drivers traded the lead with Aumen actually leading lap twenty-four and five. Wade got the inside groove when Aumen baubled just a bit and regained the lead on lap twenty-six. Wade went unchallenged to the chequered flag with Aumen, Wilkie, Parkinson, and Cottam rounding out the top Brent Morris in his Late Model #29 car makes his move. five positions. This is the third win for the #95 car with Kirt Rompain with one victory and Wade taking Sam Hunt and Billy Stidston led fifteen cars to the green flag for fifty laps the last two.
