Debt isn’t usually a hot topic for students on summer vacation, but University of Victoria students are already planning how they’ll attack their No. 1 issue this fall.

The UVic Students’ Society is preparing to launch the Where’s the Funding campaign, with the goal of turning around B.C.’s tarnished reputation for post-secondary funding.

Students in B.C. are graduating with an average $27,000 of debt, according to the Canadian Federation of Stu-dents, and B.C. remains the only province in Canada that doesn’t have a provincial grants program in place.

“What we’re looking at now is dire financial times,” said UVic Students’ Society chair Tara Paterson. “What the campaign will do is push both the major political parties to prioritize post-secondary education, should there be an election in the fall. If (no election happens), we’re looking to see some real governmental action from the B.C. Liberals.”

The three main goals of the campaign are to convince government to increase core post-secondary funding, reduce or eliminate interest on student loans and rein-state a provincial grants program.

In 2002, the Liberals deregulated tuition fees, and con-sequently, they doubled in three years.

Canadian Federation of Students research found tuition fees in B.C. are now 10 per cent more, at $6,580 per year, than the national average.

The province, however, estimated average tuition fees at $4,802 for the 2010-11 year.

Using the current interest rate of 2.5 per cent above prime, a student’s $27,000 debt would balloon to $35,000 over a 10-year repayment period.

Unlike the UVic Student Society, which voted to leave the CFS last year, executive members with the Camo-sun College Student Society draw on the federation to raise such political issues as student debt students, said Michel Turcotte, the Camosun group’s director of opera-tions.

A lot has changed in 31 years and Lorna Curtis has been here through it all.

“When I first came here there was just a few weights and some equipment on the pool deck,” she said Friday, while surveying the fitness centre at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre. “Now we have this beautiful facility that’s always busy.”

The workout room is just one of many infrastructure upgrades

completed during Curtis’ time with Oak Bay’s parks and recreation department, a career that comes to an end when she retires in November.

“The biggest thing has been the technological changes and the computerization of everything,” she said. “We do 40,000 (program) registrations a year and it’s all computerized.”

But the changes aren’t merely physical. Curtis has seen a fundamental shift in the role that fitness and well-being play in the average person’s life.

“Fitness wasn’t a part of the community’s everyday life. It is now. It’s become part of our schedule,” she said.

And people of all ages are now taking advantage of a wide range of

opportunities for self-improvement. Nowhere is that more apparent than at the Monterey Recreation Centre, where Curtis has witnessed a dramatic change in the attitudes of some of Oak Bay’s older residents.

“They’re much more active. People want to take courses, not just join a club or do certain activities. They want to learn Spanish and take cooking classes, learn computers.”

Curtis has held what seems like every job in the department in the past 31 years.

After leaving a finance job with the City of Victoria in 1980, she became an accounts clerk with Oak Bay parks and rec.

Capital Region water use downCooler weather, conservation help to lower usage


There’s plenty of water to go around in the Capital Region this summer, but don’t expect water-ing restrictions to be removed any time soon.

The Sooke reservoir, the pri-mary source of water for the region, has had higher-than-av-erage levels this year, thanks in part to below-average tempera-tures and a subsequent lower demand for water for recre-ational use.

And while there’s been very lit-tle rain over the past few weeks, the region has seen above-av-erage precipitation levels so far this year, which has kept the res-

ervoir close to capacity.The water level did not start

dropping until late May, which is the latest peak in several years, and the reservoir was still 98 per cent full in mid-June.

But it’s not just the weather which has led to the increased reservoir volume.

“It’s conservation. People are sticking to the script, so to speak,” said Jan Van Niekerk, senior manager of customer and technical services with the Capi-tal Regional District.

In fact, residents used 12.7 per cent less water between Jan. 1 and June 30, compared to the average for the same time period over the previous five years.

So far this year in Oak Bay, water usage has dropped eight per cent compared to 2010. That equals over 64 million fewer litres used in the first half of the year. Part of the drop can be attrib-uted to the lower-than-average

temperatures this summer.Because it hasn’t been as

hot, recreational water use has dropped.

The primary factor remains Stage 1 of the CRD’s water con-servation bylaw, which restricts lawn watering with sprinklers to just two days a week between May 1 and Sept. 30, among other measures.

Despite the higher reservoir levels, don’t expect those water-ing restrictions to change in the foreseeable future.

“Stage 1 is basically the status quo now,” Van Niekerk said.

On the flip side, she said, the likelihood of the CRD having to go to Stage 2 or 3 restrictions this year is almost nil. “I don’t think that’s a possibility for this year, unless there’s a quality issue or a disaster.”

As of July 10, the Sooke Reser-voir was 91.5 per cent full.

John Nichol isn’t quite sure how to handle all the attention. “I’m a very bashful person. Some-thing like this will give me a heart attack,” he says. “I think I’m going to go out of town. It sounds like a good time to go to Hawaii.”

The source of Nichol’s good-humoured con-sternation is a tournament and dinner being held in his honour tomorrow (July 30) at the Oak Bay Tennis Club.

Nichol is turning 80 this year, and the club is celebrating an even bigger birthday, marking its centennial in 2011.

Humble originsOriginally the B.C. Electric and Railway Ten-

nis Club – it was founded by the company that became B.C. Hydro – the facility grew from hum-ble beginnings on courts in the Windsor Park area. In 1912-13, the rail company purchased lots on Bowker and Cavendish Avenues and relocated the club permanently in 1923.

In the late 1950s, B.C.E.R. executives, worried about the club’s dwindling membership, specu-lated that it might close if it did not become self-supporting. Negotiations proceeded slowly, but in 1964 the sale to a group of charter members was finally completed, and the club was rechris-tened the Oak Bay Tennis Club.

Today the club has 430 adult members and 100 juniors. Membership is a hot commodity.

“We have a seven-year wait list,” says club pres-ident Christine Kirchner.

Centennial celebrations are already in full swing. Earlier this month it hosted a tea to hon-our the charter members who saved the club and a dance was held last weekend. The festivities culminate Oct. 29, when the club will be inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.

‘Hey, that’s my game!’Nichol took up tennis at 20 while

living in Trail. “I saw some beauti-ful women on the tennis courts and said ‘hey, that’s my game!’”

A natural athlete, he learned the sport with the help of some local pros, and from then on, he was hooked. “I didn’t know anything about the game, but they showed me a thing or two.”

After a hiatus from tennis while studying forestry, Nichol moved to Nelson, where he spent 10 years as a member of the Nelson Tennis Club, including five as its president. During that time a trip to Victoria motivated him to make a home on Vancouver Island.

“It was winter, and there was snow on the ground back home,” he says. “I got a chance to play outside at Beacon Hill and I said ‘I’m moving here, even if I have to pump gas.’”

Plenty of changesIn his 40 years at the Oak Bay club, Nichol has

seen plenty of changes. Foremost among them have been a pair of court replacements.

“The old courts were made of asphalt, and they were very bad,” he says. “Full of dips and cuts.”

Other upgrades include new fences, hand-made benches and even a new clubhouse, which opened in 1984. For Nichol, the esthetic changes are great, but it’s not why he’s stayed involved all these years – including 12 as club president.

“I just like the people,” he says. “I like the fact they’re tennis players, but more importantly they’re really interesting people.”

It would appear those people feel the same way about him. Kirchner hatched the plan to fête him as part of the club’s centennial. To ensure the spotlight-shy Nichol shows up, she’s arranged for all four of his children to be there, including a son who is coming all the way from Wisconsin.

“It’s going to be great fun,” Kirchner says, add-ing with a mischievous grin, “We’re even going to induct him into our Octogenarians Club.”

Humility aside, Nichol hopes the club contin-ues to be a gathering spot for the community.

“We just want to make it a place that is appreci-ated by many different types of people,” he says.

Stints as a receptionist, lounge supervisor, manager of administrative services – even a part-time gig as a bartender in the lounge – led to her eventual appointment as the department’s director in 2000. She held the position for three years before stepping aside, only to re-take the job in 2009. Curtis has spent

a total of about five years in the top job, reporting to the district’s parks and recreation commission and municipal council.

It’ll be a bittersweet goodbye for Coun. Hazel Braithwaite, who is the commission’s council representative.

“I’m very sad, because I don’t think we’re going to find someone like her who is so dedicated to the municipality,” she said. “She

eats and breathes Oak Bay.”Braithwaite cited Oak Bay’s

part in the Olympic torch relay and the Neighbourhood Learning Centre project for the new Oak Bay High as examples of Curtis’ passion.

“You can give her one piece of an idea and she’ll just run with it and come up with something fabulous.”

Curtis looks forward to doing

a lot of travelling in the months following her retirement, starting with a trip to Australia planned for late December.

“One of the things on my bucket list is to be on the Sydney Harbour Bridge for New Year’s,” she said.

Curtis will leave some pretty big shoes to fill, but her advice for her successor – the posting for the director’s position closes

Friday (July 29) – is simple.“The best part of my job hasn’t

been what I’ve done in the nine-to-five part of the day,” she said, “it’s been the opportunities to get to know people in the community and the kind of opportunities those relationships have led to for the department.

“You only get out of it what you put into it.”

[email protected]

Curtis’ energy level will be tough to duplicate: Braithwaite

Part of that education, he says, is planning for graduation and knowing when to apply for interest relief before defaulting on repayments.

The Ministry of Advanced Education has invested $2.5 billion in student financial assistance programs since 2001, including grants for students with disabilities and interest relief programs.

“When you need (financial assistance) you can’t get it,” Turcotte said. “If you go into default status, you have to clear that up before you can go into loan remission status.”

The CFS’s ongoing campaign against the rising cost of education, Education Shouldn’t be a Debt Sentence, includes an online petition based on principles identical to the WTF campaign.

“While tuition fees are going up and the quality of our education is decreasing, a generation of students is being bankrupted,” Paterson said. [email protected]

NDP leader responsible for Victoria MP’s move to federal politicsKyle SlavinNews staff

Jack Layton is no stranger to the Capital Region.

So it didn’t surprise Victoria MP Denise Savoie when a flood of best wishes and messages of support for the federal NDP leader inundated her constitu-ency office Monday.

Layton, 61, recently fought off prostate cancer, but announced Monday he’ll temporarily step aside as party leader to battle an undisclosed form of cancer.

“It was very moving to feel that support,” Savoie said, describing Layton as an inspira-tion, both as a politician and a person.

“I’ve always admired his deter-mination and his optimism and his courage. Those are qualities that he’s always had and con-

tinues to have, as we saw during his press confer-ence.”

She credits him for getting her into federal politics, but the pair have known each other for a decade, since the days when Savoie was a Vic-toria city council-lor and Layton was president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

“He has totally been an advo-cate and continues to be an advocate for Canadians. He really is mindful of what regular Canadians face in their lives,” she said. “Even now, his goal is to fight this so he can come back and fight for Canadians. I guess that’s why he inspired me to jump into federal politics.”

The hard work Layton dem-onstrated in building the party to official Opposition status will continue to be reflected

even without his presence, Savoie said, given that the NDP cau-cus is devoted to achieving his goals.

“I think par-ties are defined by how they deal with the toughest times. Without Jack, we’re cer-tainly – for a few months anyway – going to really rally together

and continue that momentum.”Savoie pointed to a message

she read on Twitter that sums up the type of person Layton is.

“Somebody should warn can-cer that Jack Layton is coming after it,” she said, recalling the tweet. “It’s reflective of the kind of fighter he is. He’s got all the right qualities to win this bat-tle.”

Dragon Boat Festival’s fundraiser supports B.C. Cancer FoundationErin CardoneNews staff

Katy Milne sees the whole picture.She’s a coach for the dragon boat

team Paddlers of the Fifth Moon, a paddler with the Snappin’ Dragons, a fundraiser and a cancer researcher who sees the effect those funds have in research labs.

“Being on both ends, as a paddler, a teammate and a cancer researcher, it really helps me see how important (the fundraising) is. I know how we use it,” Milne said.

Many of her teammates are cancer survivors.

“In a research lab, it’s easy to get stuck in the realm of tubes and that,” she said. “This makes me more pas-sionate about my work.”

Milne was part of a group that

launched the Lights of Courage campaign recently. The organizers of the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival are selling traditional Chinese paper lanterns for $3 with proceeds going toward the B.C. Cancer Foundation for Island-based cancer research.

This is the sixth annual campaign. Last year, 17,000 lanterns were sold, raising $54,000 for the foundation. This year’s goal is to sell 20,000 lan-terns, which are available at all Fair-way Market locations, the Bay Centre and Denny’s Restaurant.

Every year, the campaign has sur-passed its goal, said festival society vice-president Tony Joe.

“The phenomenal response to the Lights of Courage campaign shows how important this is to the local community,” he said.

People who buy lanterns can string them up along the pier in the Inner Harbour from Aug. 12 to 14, when the Dragon Boat Festival takes place.

Bike helmets, or a lack thereof, top the list of things intriguing me most this summer.

The thing that bugs me most – I wear a helmet all the time when I ride – are the young ladies who think their retro cruiser is a fashion accessory and not a vehicle in traffic. Especially when they ride with headphones on – and no helmet.

And there’s young men who do it too, just not to the same extent. They usually have less fashion sense, like those really tight jeans they wear.

Also in really tight jeans these days is the retro-roadie crowd on their fixed-up 1970s and ’80s Apollos (Kuwahara), Nishikis and even the odd Raleigh.

Don’t get me wrong, most of the retro-generation fans who bike are the cool cats of the road. I look up to them and wish I had been cool like them back when I had a chance to be cool. They mostly obey traffic laws and are thereby doing their part to save the world from global warming.

However, for some odd reason cycling has become hip, and so lives the ongoing debate about a cyclist’s rights to go lid-free.

Wearing a helmet is the law, but police shouldn’t waste time ticketing people to save them from themselves.

As for handing out traffic tickets for illegal cycling behaviour, I say yes.

Tickets for not wearing a bike helmet? That’s dissuading even more people from cycling.

Hockey jumbotrona necessity in arena

Not sure what to expect exactly, but word from Chilliwack when the

Western Hockey League’s Bruins’ assets were packed up and moved out this spring was that the centre-ice unit with a jumbotron and scoreboard was lowered and trucked away.

Presumably that means it’s coming to Victoria and is about to end the comical situation confusing Victoria hockey fans for years – that there’s a giant colour TV on Blanshard Avenue

outside Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, but not inside.

Then again, the circle of jumbotron funniness won’t really die until the $400,000 baseball scoreboard and video board at Royal Athletic Park serves a function.

The Royals, however, have said nothing about the Chilliwack video board. If it comes, WHL fans can expect a live feed during Royals games. However, populating a video board with instant replays, promotional footage and graphics is costly and demands a dedicated budget and staff.

Royals’ Conacherbecomes Pats’ Pat

Within a matter of three days, Mark Morrison and Pat Conacher left Victoria for jobs higher up in the hockey world.

Morrison, former coach and

general manager of the now-defunct Victoria Salmon Kings, was hired by the Winnipeg Jets as an assistant coach for their American League farm team in St. John’s, Nfld.

Conacher left his post as the Royals’ assistant coach and assistant general manager to take the head coaching position with the Regina Pats.

The move sees Conacher go from shaking hands with one Parker to another.

The Pats are run by president and governor Brent Parker, whose brother, Darren, still owns the RAP video board and is a member of the Royals’ executive.

Girls still pay to playwhen it comes to rugby

Rugby Canada released its roster for the women’s Nationals Cup, a four-team tournament in South Africa next week, featuring Canada, U.S., England and South Africa.

Two University of Victoria Vikes and three Velox Valkyries, one as a non-travelling reserve, were named to the team.

However, four of the five turned down the opportunity because they aren’t willing to fork out the required $2,931.

It’s nothing new for women’s rugby – players have been on the hook for travel costs for years – but with this September’s Rugby World Cup expected to become the third-biggest sporting event in the world behind the soccer World Cup and Summer Olympics, it’s an eye-opener.

Helmetless riders not fashionable

‘Most of the retro-generation fans who bike are the cool cats of the road.’

Let’s look at other options

Municipal politicians, we’re on to you. You never say more taxes are a good idea, but when you want to buy us something you can’t yet afford, the predictable go-to to pay for it is to do just that.

Light-rail transit is a good idea, but it’s expensive. Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin figures a new gas tax is a good way to help pay for it.

We’re lucky that shovels haven’t started digging, otherwise Capital Region residents would likely fork over more tax dollars to help finance rail between the West Shore and Victoria.

The luxury of time is beneficial for our wallets right now. Before decisions are made on how the region’s 13 municipalities will finance their portion, all options need to be put on the table and given serious scrutiny.

We realize that in an ideal world, taxing individual transportation should encourage more transit use, but that’s not the reality here. Only a small fraction of the current population of the region will be directly served by LRT, so that encouragement won’t be achieved here.

Outside of Fortin suggesting we follow Metro Vancouver’s lead (a new two-cent-per-litre gas tax will help pay for the Evergreen Skytrain line), there are other ways to finance LRT that must be considered.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins suggests Metro Vancouver municipalities tighten their budgets by one per cent to finance the Evergreen line. Municipal politicians may scoff at the suggestion, but there is merit in looking at an alternative to yet another tax.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’ suggestion that financing come from sponsors buying naming rights to a transit station seems out there, but viable. (The ‘Save-On-Foods’ Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre Station has a great ring to it.)

Asking taxpayers to carry an even larger portion of the bill is indicative of municipal politicians who aren’t thinking creatively.

Some form of tax increase may ultimately be needed to help fund light rail, but we still have time to look at other ways to pay for such a significant regional project.

Transportation issues have spiralling effect

As we sit and watch the events in the U.S. unfold regarding the massive debt and deficits that need to be tackled, have we ever wondered how much we spend on transportation both at the government level and on a personal level?

There is a strong correlation between living in suburbia and a high proportion of a family budget devoted to transportation.

When we spend 18 per cent of our personal budgets on transportation (Statistics Canada, 2011) just to sit in traffic, we need to react. This figure does not even include the detrimental impact on our productivity.

A recent study estimated that in North America, the cost of trips as a proportion of GDP is 12.7 per cent whereas in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore it is only 5.4 per cent.

The difference is a productive advantage for the Asian economies.

At the government level, transportation authorities are spending ever-increasing amounts of funds just to service the next subdivision. This includes transportation budgets for service professionals, medical personnel, increasing road construction and rehabilitation costs, and so on.

Governments should not be in the business of promoting and financing urban sprawl.

Mass transit and higher urban density will also allow for greater mobility for those currently hindered by high transportation costs. Coincidentally, U.S. President Obama has been pushing for these measures for the last couple of years.

Unfortunately for him, these measures should have been implemented decades ago just to curtail the negative productive and debt impacts of urban sprawl.

Province needs to develop clean energy sources

No one can disagree that natural gas produces fewer GHG emissions than coal or oil. Likewise, there is no point questioning the fact that natural gas can play a role in transitioning the world away from more carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

However, I would disagree with anyone who believes we can build a long term clean energy strategy around natural gas.

In fact, if we place too much emphasis on natural gas, it will invariably slow the development of the renewable clean energy sources we really need, just as a report from David Suzuki recently pointed out.

Natural gas has a place in

reducing GHG emissions. It’s also a major revenue source for the province.

However, our province’s clean energy resources could also become a major revenue source if we were to develop them, and the revenue they could potentially generate could surpass the revenue being generated by our non-renewable natural gas resources.

B.C. Transit offers seniors special pass

Re: Bus transfer restrictions dig into seniors’ pockets (Letters, July 22)

I wonder if the letter writer realizes that B.C. Transit offers a yearly bus pass for seniors on fixed incomes? It is not widely known or advertised. I heard about it through word-of-mouth.

All one has to do is phone and request an application. The price is $45 for an annual bus pass. It sure takes the angst out of travel times, schedules and long walks.

THE ARTSEnd of days a popular topicSelf-publisher seeing influx of conspiracy manuscriptsErin CardoneNews staff

A local book publishing company has tapped its way into a niche market that is booming: 2012 prophesies and end-of-days conspira-cies.

“We’re looking at about 15 out of the 150 (books) we have in production cur-rently,” said Marie Witt, man-ager of book production ser-vices at FriesenPress, speak-ing of conspiracy-themed manuscripts. “(And) we are seeing an increase as we’re going along now. People are gearing up for Christmas.”

Normally, FriesenPress will deal with two or three conspiracy manuscripts in a given year, Witt said.

“We’ll have about 20 by the

end of summer, which is quite a bit for us.”

FriesenPress, a self-pub-lishing company, doesn’t market itself to a specific demographic, which makes it rather odd that it’s the only local publisher seeing an influx of that type of manuscript.

Another self-publishing com-pany in Victo-ria, First Choice Book Publishers, hasn’t seen any such submissions this year.

As for book stores, few operators find themselves stocking shelves with more conspiracy titles than usual.

Jim Munro, owner of Mun-ro’s Books, confirms that point, but said such books come through in waves, often in the wake of a major global event such as the assassina-tion of John F. Kennedy or the the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre.

Bolen Books owner Saman-

tha Bolen has seen about a 20-per-cent increase in con-spiracy books come available, but notes, “I wouldn’t neces-sarily carry all of those.”

Witt said the nature of self-publishing could be the rea-

son behind the increase.

“In self-pub-lishing, the author main-tains full cre-ative control over the con-tent. We are cur-rently seeing a

surge in manuscripts dealing with the popular belief that the world will end in 2012.”

And there’s a push to get these books out to readers as soon as possible.

“There is an urgency to having these manuscripts published … so that people can use the information to prepare for the possibility of the end,” Witt said.

To peruse some titles, visit www.friesenpress.com.

Cast members work on a scene from A Comedy of Errors at Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus. Cool weather so far has hurt attendance at the outdoor Victoria Shakespeare Festival.

Time to get cozyat Shakespeare fest

It’s been rather a perfect storm of calamity for the Victoria Shakespeare Festival.

The outdoor event, plagued by cool evening weather and reduced provincial funding, is making a plea for the public to support its unique brand of theatre, lest the festival be turned to dust.

With the event relying on box office receipts to keep it going these days and audiences about half of what they were in recent years, organizers are trying a few things to get more people out to Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus.

Roughly 400 pass holders who bought $10 vouchers for early showings of Hamlet and A Com-edy of Errors haven’t shown up, said festival artis-tic director Michael Glover. To entice those peo-ple, the vouchers are being accepted as a full-price ticket for the remaining 16 shows, he said.

“We don’t ever want to sell a ticket where people feel it’s been wasted.”

Plenty of blankets and cushions are available at the venue. “Bring a sleeping bag, you’ll be nice and cosy,” Glover said. “What a date night.”

Step back in time this August with two events designed to explore our past...in entertaining fashion.

The Maritime Museum of B.C. brings back its Master and Commander evening Aug. 4, with all new selections from the popular novels.

The evening of 19th century music and nau-tical poetry and prose readings will delight every fan of Captain Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin, with music performed by the Windrift Woodwind Quintet with readings by Herbert O’Driscoll and David Bray.

The entertaining eve-ning runs from 7 to 9 p.m. in the museum’s third floor Vice Admi-ralty Courtroom. Tick-ets are $20 and are avail-able from the Museum Gift Shop.

“We think it stands out by how well it fits in.”

A simple statement with big implica-tions when you’re talking about new construction in Victoria’s Old Town, but the Union development is set to deliver.

Designed by world-renowned local architect Paul Merrick and Robert Cic-cozzi Architects and built by award-winning Anthem Properties, Union is a 35,500-square-foot mixed-use develop-ment in Victoria’s Chinatown. The proj-ect comprises two five-storey residential buildings with an elevated landscaped courtyard and ground-floor retail.

“It is really important for Anthem that this project complement the surround-ing neighbourhood,” says Anthem’s Sales and Marketing Director Robert Marchand. “We’re hoping to be part of the rebirth of that area.”

Currently a vacant site, Union will reintroduce a key block in the Old Town District and at the same time restore an existing 19th-century heritage facade – part of the original Finlayson building – and historic midblock pedestrian connection called Theatre Alley, Marchand says. Pair that with a modern, state-of-the-art building

with bright, contemporary interiors, and you have a devel-opment that has people talking. Indeed, rather than seeing the heritage component as an impediment, “we saw it as an opportunity,” Marchand says.

When finished, the project will include 133 residential units and 9,000-square-feet of retail fronting Fisgard Street and Pandora Avenue.

A perfect Union

Historic and modern blend beautifully in the Union project, bridging Pandora and Fisgard streets in Old Town.

Registration is under way for the 19th annual Vancouver Island Golf Tournament, Aug. 15 at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort.

Proceeds from the event will fund accommoda-tion and support for Vancouver Island families who must travel to Vancouver for their child’s life-saving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital.

When B.C. children are diagnosed with a seri-ous illness, their families must often leave their home communities on short notice and stay in Vancouver for months at a time. Since 1983, Ronald McDonald House BC has been a magical “home away from home” for these families, a place where

they can stay together and focus on caring for their sick child. About one-third of families who stay at Ronald McDonald House BC are from Vancouver Island.

Individuals, teams, or corporate sponsors are welcome to participate in the Vancouver Island Golf Tournament. The tournament day begins at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. on the Mountain Course. A celebratory banquet will follow with all proceeds benefitting Ronald McDonald House BC.

Register at [email protected] or call the House at 604-736-2957. For more information, visit www.rmhbc.ca

The Royal BC Museum looks to B.C. history with the Other Guys Theatre Com-pany’s GOOD TIMBER: Songs and Stories of the Western Logger, an acclaimed musical revue, Mondays through Sat-urdays Aug. 10 to 27.

Inspired by Rhymes of the Western Logger, a compilation of logging camp poetry by Robert E. Swanson, this romp through the province’s past is set against a multi-media backdrop of rarely-seen imag-ery of B.C.’s logging history.

Performances begin at 8 p.m. and tickets are $17 to $22, plus tax and service fee, from the museum box office, by phone at 250-721-8480 or online at www.otherguysthe-atre.ca

To show just how well the layouts work, Anthem has built a full suite in its Market Square presentation centre, across the road from the site. Floorplans range from a junior one bedroom to a spacious two-bedroom-plus-den, which can be outfitted in one of two colour schemes, “Pandora, inspired by the historic traditions of Old Town, and Fisgard, inspired by the vibrant energy of Chinatown.”

Interior highlights include contemporary laminate wide-plank flooring in living areas and bedrooms and one-inch louver blinds. In the kitchen, flat panel cabinets accented with painted glass, brushed nickel hardware and sleek quartz countertop with por-celain tile backsplash add ele-gance and sparkle.

EnergyStar appliances include a stacked front-loading washer/dryer, stainless steel GE refrigera-tor with bottom-mount freezer, range with glass-ceramic cook top, QuietPower 61™ dishwasher and over-the-range microwave/ hood fan combination.

A real treat for residents will be the project’s private, 6,000-square-foot outdoor courtyard, where plants and trees will form a serene garden, and the re-created The-atre Alley, running from Pandora

to Fisgard. Possibilities here include a restaurant and patio as seen in other Old Town “alleys,” Marchand suggests.

Also unique is the building’s park-ing plan, including one level under-ground and another above-ground, still secure, under the central court-yard.

The savings achieved by not hav-ing to dig a second storey under-ground have been passed along to buyers, with prices starting at $239,900 for downtown living.

Chris Bush has a bone to pick with cancer.

In the last few years, cancer has taken his

mother, aunt and three friends, the latter of whom were all close to Bush’s age of 53.

His aunt, who died in June, is described by Bush, a Black Press photographer based in Nanaimo, as a “vibrant woman with no reason to shut down at

all.”Not one

to normally participate in the seemingly weekly five-kilometre local runs for cancer, Bush decided over many months to participate in something a little bigger – the 2011 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

The bicycle journey will take Bush and

21 Island teammates from Port Hardy to Victoria from Sept. 24 to Oct. 7 to raise money for Camp Goodtimes, a retreat for children with cancer, and pediatric cancer research.

Some of Bush’s reasons for participating are selfish, some are to help others, while others still are to do his part to drop-kick cancer into the history books.

He wants to do it while he still can.

“I’m grateful at my age to be able to do this. A lot of people can’t,” said Bush, the oldest member of the team.

“I’ve always wanted to cycle the Island and this is a great opportunity. At the same time,

I’m helping kids and getting a better understanding of what it’s all about. It’s hard to overstate how neat this experience has been so far.”

The training rides are gruelling – one in mid-July included a ride up the 18-kilometre Strathcona Parkway to Mt. Washington – but necessary to prepare the riders for the 1,000-kilometre tour that visits nearly every village, town and city along the way.

Hard work, long drives to get to training sites and late dinners aside, Bush said the experience is worth it.

To balance home, work and Tour de Rock responsibilities, he’s had to lean on his network

of supporters, mostly his wife Laurie. He has also forged many friendships on the team, a group of people he describes as committed and interesting.

“You really get to like your teammates a lot,” he said.

Team members are made up of police, auxiliary police and media, all of whom need to raise a minimum of $5,000.

Along with training rides, team members are asked to participate in community events leading up to the tour, the most notable for Bush being a visit with children at Camp Goodtimes last week.

“It’s going to be interesting,” he said, before leaving for the

camp. “I know it’s going to be emotional. Any time you’re confronted with kids in a difficult situation it’s tough. I won’t know how I’ll react until I get there.”

Until the tour officially begins, Bush said he’s going to continue to keep pace with the increasing demands that come with being a tour rider. He’ll continue to put the kilometres in, do his best to fundraise to meet his goal of $25,000 and continue to have fun.

“You only get one shot at this and that’s it,” he said. “But I’m feeling healthy – healthy as I’ve ever been. My clothes are loose, my lungs are healthy, I’m tired but it’s a good tired.”

Lineup is reworked for premier midget final fourTravis PatersonNews staff

The shortstop is pitching and the staff ace is now the cleanup hitter.

The midget baseball Victoria Mariners’ starting playoff lineup for the B.C. Premier League’s final four tournament at Vancou-ver’s Nat Bailey this weekend is one that nobody in the organization would have envisioned at the start of the season, said manager Mike Chewpoy.

The Mariners beat the Abbotsford Cardi-nals in two out of three games at Henderson Park last weekend and are returning to the final four despite having shed most of last year’s championship roster.

“There’s been injuries and suspensions. It’s been a long year, I’ll just say that,” Chewpoy said.

The season’s low point was an after-hours incident that resulted in missed games for several of the players. But through the tur-moil the team has stuck together, with a little extra glue coming from a couple of the team’s returning vets.

When all-star shortstop Jesse Hodges sustained a season-ending injury it thinned

the infield and led to a pair of surprises – Cole Holt’s batting and Daryl Blaskovich’s pitching. It’s a reversal of sorts for the duo. As a pitcher, Holt was the MVP of last year’s Premier League final four. Blaskovich is the team’s captain, incumbent shortstop and go-to pitcher.

Until three weeks ago, however, Blask-ovich hadn’t pitched a game since playing pee wee (ages 11 and 12) for Sidney-Central Saanich.

“I pitched during the winter season inter-squad games and then in a game earlier this season, we were down by a lot. I took the mound and ended up shutting the door,” Blaskovich said.

His first start came less than a month ago and he went the distance, throwing a com-plete-game, two-hitter which the Mariners ended up losing 3-0 – all of them unearned runs.

Since then he’s been a regular starter for

the club. “(Blaskovich) throws four pitches for

strikes and he throws hard. It’s simple really,” Chewpoy said.

At the other end of the spectrum is Holt’s success as a hitter.

“It’s a complete fluke,” Holt said.“It just started happening for me. I have

an unconventional approach. I swing for everything.”

Now a regular in right field, Holt is still in the pitching rotation but didn’t throw at all in the series against Abbotsford, though he was warming up and came close.

Holt’s hitting also came as a result of an early deficit in the infield. As a fill-in short-stop to start the season he was hitting at the bottom of the order, but soon moved up and is penciled in as the No. 4 hitter.

“Holt’s bat is just too good for us, he still might pitch but we’ve got a few good arms right now,” Chewpoy said.

Pitcher Mike Shaw will start for the Mari-ners against the Coquitlam Reds today (July 29). The tournament is double-knockout but the first win is key. Blaskovich and Matt Bryan will likely get the next two starts for the team.

“Just walking into Nat Bailey gave me goose bumps last year. It’s impossible to play bad baseball there,” Blaskovich said.

Mariners shake it up

Travis Paterson/News staff

Shortstop Daryl Blaskovich has converted to pitcher for the Victoria Mariners. The team starts the B.C. Premier league final four today.

Community at college■ Daryl Blaskovich is staying here next year but is committed to play for Colby Community College (Kan.) in 2012-13, with Cole Holt. At Colby, they’ll join M’s grads Scott Jones and Austin Russell.

Saanich striker regains fighting formSarah Kaufman won her latest fight by unanimous

decision in the Strikeforce mixed martial arts organization over Liz Carmouche in Las Vegas on Friday (July 23).

Strikeforce is the highest level for professional wom-en’s MMA. The Saanich striking specialist picked apart Carmouche in rounds 2 and 3 of the 135-pound welter-weight match. Kaufman was tied up with Carmouche for much of the first round. Round 2 was different, as Car-mouche’s takedown attempts proved futile. Kaufman’s wrestling defence was the better, giving the boxing spe-

cialist the chance to pick apart Carmouche in a stand-up punching match.

This weekend the welterweight Strikeforce title-holder Marloes Coenen fights challenger Miesha Tate. If Coenen wins, ex-champion Kaufman will likely get a rematch against Coenen.

Morrison hired by Jets organizationVictoria launched Mark Morrison’s playing career and

now it’s launched his coaching career too.Last week Morrison was announced as an assistant

coach to the new St. John’s (Nfld.) American Hockey League team.

The St. John’s franchise is the former Manitoba Moose. The team is no longer an affiliate of the Vancou-ver Canucks. Instead, St. John’s becomes the minor-

league affiliate of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets as both are owned by True North Sports and Entertainment.

Morrison, 48, is part of a coaching staff assembled by Jets’ management and will work with head coach Keith McCambridge. Morrison and McCambridge have stared across at each other before as respective coaches for the ECHL Victoria Salmon Kings and Alaska Aces.

Highlanders to make first playoff appearance

Travis PatersonNews staff

A hugely successful home-stand has the Victoria Highland-ers FC men’s team headed to the United Soccer League playoffs.

The Highlanders beat North-west division-leading Kit-sap Pumas 1-0 Saturday, then knocked off the Abbotsford Mar-iners 3-1 Sunday afternoon.

With the win, the Highlanders (9-4-3) took second place in the Northwest and secured a spot in the Western conference semi-final. They’ll take on the South-west’s undefeated Fresno Fuego in California tomorrow (July 30).

Hiding in the hallway to the dressing room to avoid getting splashed by the water cooler during the team’s award ceremo-nies Sunday, coach Ian Bridge spoke of the team’s late surge.

“Saturday (against Kitsap) was a complete effort, the essential win that we needed with every-one putting in a really good shift – we had a good formation,” he said.

“Sunday was a lethargic per-formance against Abbotsford.”

Both Highlander wins came at Royal Athletic Park, where it has gone 4-0 in league games since relocating from Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford. They suf-fered a 5-0 smashing by English visitors Port Vale last week.

Ash Burbeary scored the only goal in Saturday’s win over Kit-sap (12-1-3), with 1,530 fans in attendance.

The Englishman’s play has been quite a revelation since he received his fifth yellow card of the season with six games to go – one more and he would have been suspended. “I wish he’d played to that level and focus earlier in the season,” Bridge said.

On Sunday it was Czech import Michael Marousek scor-ing twice and Jordie Hughes once to lead the Highlanders over Abbotsford.

SOOKE NEWSMIRROR

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 confi dence, 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.

Fire scorches hillside Park users in Oak Bay are reminded

to be careful with any flammable material, after a brush fire consumed nearly two acres in Trafalgar Park.

The fire, which happened last Fri-day (July 22) around 7 p.m., spread quickly due to strong westerly winds, said Deputy Fire Chief Dave Cockle.

Paul Smith, whose Lorne Terrace home overlooks the hillside where the fire started, said he saw smoke coming from nearby gorse bushes. His wife called 911, while he grabbed

fire extinguishers. Once outside, he found the fire had grown to the “size of a van.” Smith and other family members sprayed the flames with a garden hose, but weren’t able to slow the blaze down.

The fire came within eight or nine metres of their home.

The cause of the fire was still unknown as of early this week, but one possibility being considered was an errant cigarette.
