Colwood mayor objects to CRD dispatch plan Dispute comes before switching service from Langford to Saanich Kyle Wells News staff

Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton has sent a letter to the chair of the Capital Regional District planning, transportation and protective services committee in opposition to a plan to upgrade Langford fire dispatch. The CRD is looking to establish Langford as a prominent regional fire dispatch centre and is proposing approximately $100,000 worth of upgrades to the centre. Hamilton argues that the CRD does not have the

authority to do this and that the project will be a waste of taxpayers’ money, considering that Saanich already has a modern, wellestablished dispatch centre. “The establishment of a new or reinvented fire dispatch service for the region is not prudent, necessary, nor cost effective, and therefore, the City of Colwood will not support this initiative,” reads the letter. Hamilton would rather see efforts put into establishing a single fire dispatch for all of Greater Victoria. She stated that attention would be better paid to having Langford and all other local regions go through the Saanich dispatch, rather than spending money to upgrade Langford’s. “The CRD cannot justify or provide a rational explanation to the taxpayers of Greater Victoria for establishing yet another dis-

patch service provider in this same region,” Hamilton wrote. Langford councillor and CRD board member Denise Blackwell said it’s “unfortunate” Hamilton has written this letter and that she is speaking out against what Blackwell considers a great opportunity for Langford. “We have a 30 year history of satisfaction with the fire departments that we dispatch for,” said Blackwell. “I think it’s unfortunate Colwood and View Royal decided they couldn’t wait to participate with the rest of the group, but that’s their decision and we don’t want to interfere with their decision, and we’d prefer they not interfere with ours.” Colwood, along with View Royal, is getting set to switch its service from the Langford fire dispatch to Saanich this month.

The move comes because of dissatisfaction with Langford dispatch. Both Colwood and View Royal have entered into a fiveyear contract with Saanich and will pay about 20 per cent more for the service. For Colwood this means an increase from $63,000 to $76,000. Currently there are four fire dispatch providers for the region: Saanich, Langford, Victoria and CFB Esquimalt. Langford services Metchosin, Highlands, Sooke and Port Renfrew, along with Saltspring Island and a number of other southern Gulf Islands. A report by Planetworks Consulting Corporation in April 2011 for the CRD recommended either reducing service to two main providers or establishing a single provider for the entire region. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Do you believe in magic?

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

West Shore Cadets host alumni night

Kyle Wells News staff

e may live in the age of iPads, Wikipedia and daily scientific discovery, but that doesn’t mean people don’t still get a kick out of the wonder of good old fashioned magic. Eric Bedard, known on stage as the Cool Magic Dude, believes magic is alive and well. Audiences still enjoy suspending their own disbelief, he says. Technology only encourages magicians to get better. “That just forces us to become more creative and more ingenious,” said Bedard, who spent five years performing for Princess Cruise Ships and is a regular entertainer at David Foster concerts (including this weekend, See story Page A12). “When you go and rent a movie, you want to watch a movie, you’re in that mindset. People come to this show, they want to have some fun, they want to be entertained.” The show in question is a night of Mirth and Magic at the Isabelle Reader Theatre on Sunday, May 27. For the event, a total of eight well-regarded magicians from up and down the coast will come together to perform, compete and dazzle. Bedard is both co-organizing and performing at the show. “People come The first half of the evening will be a competition between four magicians to this show, they for the Wansborough Trophy, a want to have some vying regional award for the best comic magifun, they want to be cian of the year, given out for the past 20-odd years. The audience votes on entertained.” their favourite magician and the one with – Eric Bedard the most votes wins. Featured in the second half will be some of the pros of magic on the West Coast. Headliner act Murray Hatfield and his assistant Teresa are award winning illusionists and currently one of the most successful touring illusionist acts in North America, Berard said. “This is the biggest array of talent we’ve ever had at one of these shows,” Bedard said. All the proceeds from the show will go back to presenters Victoria Magic Circle, a non-profit organization that promotes the art of magic, especially for young people. Trained by his magician father, Bedard started performing at 14 years old, eventually going pro in the 1990s. He specializes in close magic, meaning lots of audience participation and tricks that can happen right in front of your eyes. Bedard now only performs for a select group of clients and at charity events such as this one. As the Cool Magic Dude, Bedard uses humour, audience participation and a huge repertoire of card, coin and fire tricks to put on a show that is intended to wonder and amuse. Bedard finds his satisfaction in helping people to have a good time at a show. If he can amaze them, all the better, but his first priority is to get them laughing and having some fun. “It’s not ‘hey look what I can do, I’m better than you,’” Bedard said. “No, this is fun. Forget about everything else for a short time and come with me and you’ll have some laughs, you’ll have some wonder and some amazement, and we’ll all have a great time together.” Tickets for the show are $20 and available at Murray’s Trick and Joke Shop on Broughton Street, as well as at Langford Fire Hall No. 1 on Peatt Road. Showtime is 7 p.m., with doors open at 6:30 p.m. news@goldstreamgazette.com

The West Shore Air Cadets host an alumni night, Friday, May 25, 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Langford Legion, 761 Station Ave. Tickets are $35 in advance and $50 at the door. Proceeds go to the 848 West Shore air cadet squadron. Finger foods, dancing and a silent auction are part of the evening, which is for adults 19 years and over.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and Itâ€™s Happening Right Here in Victoria!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ€™s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Hereâ€™s How It Works: Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot â€“ it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If yourâ€™re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Off the Grid, off the hook Charla Huber

When, where and who

News staff

The Off the Grid Festival is back this Friday (May 25) for its second time around, inspiring youth for a greener future. The Off the Grid festival brings students from across Greater Victoria to discuss ideas about a sustainable future. The morning is full of seminars while the evening features a concert at Fort Rodd Hill. Last year, high schoolers attended seminars led by adults at City Centre Park. This time around, youths are inspiring other youths at Royal Roads University. “The event, more or less, outgrew the (previous) facility,” said Cindy Moyer, former director of Climate Action West Shore. Several Belmont students will share ideas about youth and global activism. Ravi Parmar, 17, will discuss his experiences of leading a stu-

dent walkout in support of two new high schools on the West Shore. When Parmar got involved in efforts to get funding for the schools, “People told me there definitely wouldn’t be two new schools and we wouldn’t get an answer for 10 to 15 years … It took eight months.” The province has agreed to fund two new high schools thanks to the work of many peo-

ple in the community, including Parmar. At the festival, Parmar hopes to send the message: “You have the chance to get involved and find solutions.” Whether it’s trying to change the minds of provincial government or young kids, these students will share their experiences in hopes of inspiring other youths to step up for a cause. Sharif McArthur organized an Earth Day assembly at Sangster elementary school in Colwood with other Belmont students. “(The young kids) could see that it’s cool to recycle and it was inspiring to them,” McArther said. “I was inspired by older teens when I was kid.” Other students will be speaking of experience of helping in foreign countries such as Nepal and Mexico. The Off the Grid Festival is organized by Youth for Environmental Stewardship B.C. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Provincial committee rejects cosmetic pesticide ban The B.C. Liberal majority on a legislative committee has recommended against a provincewide ban on cosmetic pesticide use, after a year of hearing from farmers, foresters and environmental organizations. The most compelling testimony came from a representative of Health Canada, which approves

such products for use across the country, said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett who chaired the committee. “The majority of the committee concluded that we could not justify second-guessing the 350 scientists who work at Health Canada,” Bennett said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Highlands raising taxes for first time in 14 years Charla Huber News staff

Residents of Highlands are getting their first residential tax increase in 14 years. Both residential and business owners will be paying 1.56 per cent more than before. District administrator Chris Coates said the increase stems from both inflation and the need to conserve Highlands discretionary funds. “We looked at what the fixed costs were then and what they are now,” Coates said, explaining that six years ago the District had about $200,000 in discretionary funds. This year it has about $95,000. Highlands has been able to operate for the past few years without increasing its budget by using revenue from other sources, such as fees for the construction of Hannington Creek Estates, a residential subdivision. “It’s easier to do it in small steps than to reach a critical point and make it a big increase,” Coates said. It’s been a long time since the past increase, which Coates said was too long ago to even know how much taxes went up because all the records from that time are kept off site. For a home assessed at $665,000, the increase will add about $22.60 to their annual property taxes. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Peace of Mind for 10 Years!

Charla Huber News staff

Whether it’s monitoring ground water security or learning to grow tomatoes, chances are Warren Lee will be there. Lee received the Highlands community service award, May 7. It has been awarded to fewer than 10 people. “He is unfailingly positive, constructive and knowledgeable,” said Highlands Mayor Jane Mendum, adding Lee was honoured with a standing ovation in the Caleb Pike schoolhouse when she gave him the award. Lee was nominated by fellow Highlands resident Eric Bonham for the award. “In the community he is a man of many parts and belongs to many committees,” Bonham said. “Whatever the event is, he is always there with a helping hand. He is a natural and unassuming leader.” As an ocean modelling analyst with Environment Canada, Lee has brought his talents and education to Highlands by pioneering a weather station project. The five weather stations in Highlands, including one at Lee’s home, collect temperature data every minute. The information is then sent automatically to the University of Victoria and posted on a website. “They keep track of temperature changes,” Lee said, explaining the weather stations are totally separate from his work. The weather stations program has been operated through the Highlands Stewardship Association for the past six years. Lee is chair of the association.

Highlands resident, Warren Lee was honoured with the Highlands Community Service Award, May. 7. He was nominated by fellow residents for all of the work he does in the community, including his role in the Highlands Ground Water Task Force and the Highlands Stewardship Association.

The talented Warren Lee Aside from looking at everything with a scientific approach, Warren Lee also helps organize social events such as the annual Highlands Fling in September. And when Lee wanted to learn more about food security he helped organize the Highlands local food group. Members of the group travel to each other’s gardens, learning new growing techniques and swapping seeds. “The kids are discovering all sorts of vegetables they didn’t know about,” Lee said explaining broad beans has become a new food to hit the dinner table. Lee, with his wife and two daughters, are also raising two male rabbits. The males are used for breeding. “We don’t eat the rabbits, they are pets for us,” said Lee, explaining that the bucks are used by others who do raise rabbits as a food source. Another environmental project Lee has been working on is through the Highlands Ground Water Task Force. “Our community uses only well water. How much well water will have in the future?” Lee questions. The Highlands ground water study, after several years, is nearly complete with Phase 3 of the project soon to be released. The study aims to gather more information about the aquifer under Highlands, which supplies water to about 680 homes. Phase 1 involved a water quality assessment and Phase 2 covered plan-

ning groundwater protection. Phase 3 includes collecting supplemental data for potential groundwater contaminant hazards, and starting a groundwater monitoring program. While Golder Associates, an environmental services firm, is undertaking the study, Lee has been adding input to the process. “Small communities are important, everyone knows each other, we are all spread out and your neighbours aren’t just next door,” Lee said humbly. “It’s being part of the community.” reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Sunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also ﬁlter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful. Ultra-violet is thought to be absorbed mostly at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition. Recent evidence indicates that some UV may play a role in cataract formation and may also be one of the causes of macular degeneration. Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. This doesn’t mean that UV light is difﬁcult or expensive to block. An inexpensive pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of the more expensive brands lies in the quality of their optics and the visual comfort they afford the wearer. To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

OUR VIEW

Keep pressuring high-risk drivers Last weekend’s long weekend unofficially ushered in the summer season in the Capital Region – that means more beach time, more barbecues and, for many, more time on the road. That’s why police agencies are waging a focused assault on speeding and aggressive driving. Saanich police in particular are hitting problem roads and intersections this month to drive home the idea that tailgating, speeding and high-risk driving won’t be tolerated. It’s the kind of driving behaviour that frustrates motorists on a daily basis – someone riding too close on the highway or weaving in and out of traffic, running yellow and red lights and generally behaving in ways that ramp up road rage. If homeowners are going to call the police about something in their neighbourhood, more often than not it’s about speeding or racing. For police, combating reckless driving is a labour-intensive and time-consuming task. Unlike roadblocks where officers can wait for drunk drivers to come to them, traffic patrol officers need to witness and document speeding and dangerous driving. But it’s a worthwhile effort. Culled from police data, ICBC attributes 60 per cent of all crashes at intersections to speed, distracted and inattentive driving and ignoring right-of-ways. On Vancouver Island that drops to 50 per cent, but police link 29 traffic fatalities on average per year on the Island to speeding and reckless driving. The annual campaign against high-risk driving picks up across the province in May, and more people than usual are being hit with tickets. But people need to remember police aren’t the enemy – traffic officers are trying to make the roads safer and more civil for all. Drinking and driving remains a high-profile problem and, by definition, is risky driving. But it’s the purely aggressive, high-risk driving that impacts people’s day-to-day lives as they drive to work or school or for recreation. We encourage police and ICBC to help keep the pressure on bad drivers year round. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm.

LETTERS Does B.C. Transit enforce its no-idling regulations? Why is it that B.C. Transit drivers fail to turn off their engines when parking for well over a minute at the Station Road facility despite company regulations that state: “When operating a bus in the range of 0 C and 30 C, upon arriving at terminus … (if) anticipated you will be parked for a period beyond one minute, shut off your engine unless customers are loading or exiting.” Every day, all day and evening, I see buses idling for as much as 10 minutes with no one loading or exiting. Is no one monitoring the drivers? Do none of them care about pollution? Bruce Paddle Langford

B.C. Liberals continue to play right into the NDP’s hands Campbell’s legacy – what a screw-up, what a disgrace! And I’m not talking about the HST itself. If governments need/want extra funds, they’ll get them, one way or another. A value added tax (VAT) is not a bad tax, and is nothing new as it is to be found elsewhere, such as in England and New Zealand. Where the B.C. Liberals (read that: small ‘c’ conservatives) went wrong was in not providing acceptable/ forthright information and by executing a ham-fisted imposition, not including a few of the more important then-existing PST exemptions, subsidizing initial business change-over costs out of the billion plus that they got from the feds. Now, B.C. taxpayers have to pay for its deplorable implementation and looming disposal (laying off and re-hiring auditors, giving back the billion plus to the feds). What a boost for the NDP. Just look at the latest poll: a double score for that party. Don Wilkes Langford

Rodeos can be about skillful events and not harmful ones I did not realize that Langford hosts a rodeo. I thank Melissa de Meulles (Letters to the editor, May 9) for bringing up the subject of cruelty in rodeos. A rodeo can be made great entertainment without inflicting cruel and injurious events both to the animals that are abused and the participants that perform their macho influence over these animals. I was in Calgary when eight magnifi-

cent horses were killed in a horrific chuck wagon race. These murderous events should be banned. They can easily be replaced by a number of events involving skill with animals, without the risk of killing them. Horses, dogs, sheep dogs, even kangaroos can be involved in an entertaing and exciting manner. It is hoped that common sense and respect of these wonderful animals would be considered? Paul Collins Langford

Riding a horse requires respect for the animal underneath I have ridden horses all my life. I have never had spurs or a whip. I consider my horse a friend and never hit it or hurt it. Ron MacIsaac Langford

Ellen Bergerud Joins Sutton Ellen Bergerud has a pro-active and fresh outlook on Sooke and the West Shore’s real estate market. Although Ellen works mostly from her home office in Sooke, she now also has a Sutton office at 123 - 866 Goldstream Ave, right across from City Hall. By spending time in the West Shore, Ellen is able to reach a larger market and relate all the positive aspects of buying and living in Sooke. “It is not only the price difference, but also the belonging to a lovely seaside community, so close to the Capital. It is amazing how many people do not consider Sooke until I point out these advantages of price and community.” Sutton West Coast Realty will be hosting a Grand Opening of their new, state of the art office, on Friday May 25th, with listings displayed on live screens day and night in the front window. Real Trends, an independent survey company showed that Sutton West Coast Realty is Canada’s largest Brokerage for the second consecutive year, with over 15,000 sales in 2011. “I like that they have the Canadian flag on their logo and also that Sutton has such a huge referral network, which my clients will benefit from.” Ellen looks forward to working with buyers and sellers to ensure they make informed and successful choices. “What is important is that my clients are happy with the decisions they make.”

Fire destroys Metchosin home Unoccupied home went up in flames in the early hours Metchosin firefighters arrived to a 3000-block Park Drive house engulfed in flames early Thursday (May 18) morning. The volunteer firefighters received the call at 4:06 a.m., and a crew of 25 arrived on scene with flames roaring through all three storeys and up through the roof. “We were able to darken down the fire in about half an hour or 40 minutes,” said Metchosin fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. Dunlop thinks the fire was already so large by the time the call came in because, “At four in the morning, no one is awake.” Five firefighters from Langford Fire Rescue attended the call to provide mutual-aid. The 6,500 square-foot home was under construction, so no one was in the home. “The homeowner was set to move in, in about a month,” Dunlop said. Fire crews remained on scene for most of the day. The fire is still under investigation. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Foundation helped save daughter’s life, mom says Natalie North News staff

Doctors told Colwood mom Tamara Fisher it was a miracle that her daughter Evanne was even born on Oct. 2, 2004, after she was diagnosed with a non-functioning heart. They had also advised the single mother that due to her baby’s rare heart defects, Tamara should terminate her pregnancy when she was already four-and-a-half-months along. Later on, after baby Evanne’s month-old body was struggling to survive experimental heart surgery, the surgeon told Tamara that procedure had been a mistake.

Before she even knew her unborn child’s sex, Tamara knew her chance at life hinged on a heart transplant. She turned to the David Foster Foundation, which provides financial assistance for families whose children are in need of lifesaving organ transplants.

Small has been heating up the winter floor playing with the The National Lacrosse League’s Edmonton Rush and will carry that work ethic into the summer season. NLL all-star Chris Levis is also returning in net, supported by local goalie Matt Flindell, Welch notes. Joining Lyons and Small as key players on offense will be Mike Pires and Kory Kowalyk while Rhys Jones and Matt Yager will be expected to step up defensively, Heyes says. “I think last year was a learning lesson for us. We still have a lot of those key players

who are back and hopefully they have learned from last season and can bring that into this year. “I think we have something to prove as an organization – we should be one of the top teams in the league.” It’s an expectation that comes both from outside the organization and within, and it’s a driving motivator for the team. “Victoria fans are demanding – they want to see a winner and want to support a team they can relate to and that gives it their all each and every game,” Heyes says. With that commitment, players enjoy the benefit of enthusiastic fan support and an exciting atmosphere. “We enjoy by far the best fan support in Western Canada, rivalled nationally only by Peterborough,” Welch says. Having local talent on the roster helps cement that fan support, while providing a chance for lower Island players to take their game to the next level. “This is an opportunity for them to really show what they can do and really be an integral part of the team,” Heyes says. Looking ahead, “I’m excited about the process of developing the team, working with my assistant coaches and hopefully

taking the club in a new direction,” Heyes says. As the building blocks for the 2012 season fall into place, “we’ll take care of the first game first, then the next game, and the next game.” Helping Heyes on the bench will be Jordan Sundher, formerly with the Junior Shamrocks, and Dave Lowden. “Jordan has a great feel for the defensive aspect of the game and the experience he’s had working for the last two years with the junior team has been great. “Dave is another defense guy who has a great knowledge of both the personnel we have and the teams we’ll be playing against,” Heyes says. “My expectation is to see a team that will play hard every night and instill that pride in the Shamrock past. They have a responsibility to the team and the shamrock that’s on the front of that jersey.”

“If you need a bus just call us!”

No stranger to the national stage, the Victoria Shamrocks have made 17 Mann Cup appearances since joining the Canadian Lacrosse Association in 1950. While the ‘Rocks would lose to Peterborough in 1953 and ‘54, 1955 was their year, and the Victoria squad defeated Peterborough to win their first Mann Cup. In 1957 the cup would come west again following a win over Long Branch. Later wins came in 1979 and 1983 (over Peterborough) 1997 (over Niagara Falls), 1999 and 2003 (over Brampton) and 2005 (over Peterborough). In addition, the team has brought home 17 Provincial championships and 17 league championships.

In the stands with Shamrocks mascot Rocky the Raccoon

BP: Lacrosse hero? RR: Kevin Alexander – ‘cause he was the Gretzky of lacrosse! Also the lesser-known Rosco Raccoon, from the All Forrest Sr. Critters – he got the moves like Jagger! BP: What are you looking forward to most with the Shamrocks’ new season? RR: Seeing my old pals at our Barn and all the kids on Minor Lacrosse Night, but mostly to delivering crushing defeats to a certain team with a very yummy fish on their jerseys. BP: Favourite quote? RR: “Stay calm and Shamrock on!” BP: Favourite sports song? RR: Who let the Dogs Out? Woof!

PROMO NIGHTS AT BEAR MOUNTAIN ARENA

BP: Favourite team? (other than Victoria!) RR: No comment. I bleed only Green. BP: Your favourite Victoria lacrosse memory? RR: In 2005, when I was a little raccoon, I watched the Mann Cup lifted at Bear Mountain Arena – HOME TURF! BP: If you could participate in any event in lacrosse history, what would it be? RR: Mascotting in ALL 17 of the Shamrocks’ Mann Cup appearances – that’d be the pinnacle of mascotting! BP: How do you spend your time away from the arena? RR: I stay busy advocating raccoon road safety all over the Island.

■ Millstream Village Anniversary Celebrations ■ Begins Thursday, May 24 ■ Millstream Village

Millstream Village’s fifth anniversary celebration starts tomorrow Millstream Village celebrates its fifth anniversary with a fiveday-long Sidewalk Sale beginning Thursday. Saturday will be filled with celebratory activities like bouncy inflatables for the younger set, including the Amazing Race Junior Obstacle Course and Aspire to Greatness Combo Bounce, a magician and mascots. Watch radio station KOOL FM, broadcasting live from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.; stop by Millstream Village’s charity car wash; then enjoy some anniversary cake, popcorn, cotton candy, barbecued hot dogs and live music. Shoppers can enter a draw on each of the five days for a gift basket worth more than $250. And for people who have a fiveyear-old, who are 55 years of age, or who were born during the fifth month – May – there’s a draw for a valuable children’s gift basket. “We thought a draw like that would work well with our fifth anniversary theme,” explains Sheila Larabie, manager of BCAA’s Millstream Village office. “All of the merchants are excited about our anniversary and want the public, young and old, to enjoy themselves to the fullest…and to save on their purchases at the Sidewalk Sale.’’ Millstream Village Shopping Centre has grown to 45 stores and services with a loyal and growing customer base. Shoppers enjoy having so many respected merchants right at hand, offering everything from women’s fashions and menswear to items for the home, a variety of food outlets and convenient services. If you’re a “regular” at Millstream Village, you’re invited to join in the celebrations. If you haven’t yet discovered its joys, this is the time to do it. Shop the Sidewalk Sale from Thursday through Monday, and stop by the anniversary party Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The audition instructions were daunting. Perform songs that showcase the voice using no pre-recorded music. Instead, shortlisted musicians were invited to play an electric keyboard to accompany themselves for a panel of six judges, for a chance to perform at the David Foster Foundation Miracle Weekend. “I’ve never had a (piano) lesson in my life,” says Turkoni, one of 30 local musicians invited to audition from a list of 90 candidates. “I don’t know what I was most nervous about, the singing or the playing.” While the the singer-songwriter has adeptly worked out the chords to some of her songs she’s recorded and uploaded to YouTube, she readily admits she’s no performance pianist. Even so, her playing must have passed the test. Or her big voice compensated. Turkoni was selected to perform a 20-minute session during the fundraiser’s brunch event May 27. In total, 13 local musicians will perform at the event. “We loved her sound,” says Erin Van Zant, talent and culture manager for the Oak Bay Beach hotel, which is co-hosting the event. “People assume I’m a pop singer with a squeaky voice, but I’m not,” says Turkoni,

When hearing her deep, almost husky voice, “people look at me and say, ‘that should not come out of you,’” Turkoni says. The chance to perform at the Miracle

Weekend is a coup for someone who has not been pursuing music seriously for several years. Back in England, where she grew up, Turkoni won a scholarship for a music degree specializing in vocals, and was gig-

ging regularly with three bands and had her own music manager. She gave it all up, however, when she met her future husband while travelling. They moved to Victoria in 2008. Since then, she admits, it’s been hard to find gigs, and hard to connect up with other musicians. She’s also been otherwise occupied. The 28-year-old is a wedding planner, runs a landscaping company with her husband, and also sells her paintings. Music has been on the back burner, but she’s adamant it’s what she wants to do. “I would give all my companies up for that,” she says. “I know I have a talent. It’s my dream career.” For her big show date, she’s working with a pianist and backup singer. “I hope the show goes amazingly and I don’t forget any words,” she says. Turkoni’s also aware of David Foster’s presence and the possibility that he’ll be scouting the next big talent. Van Zant, however, can’t confirm this. “He is here for the weekend but we haven’t made any promises to any of our musicians. “But if the moons and stars line up …” Van Zant says, pausing before qualifying again that it’s too risky to make promises. rholmen@vicnews.com

Co-op supports city’s elite women’s soccer Peninsula Co-op is looking forward to an exciting season of women’s soccer after lending both its name and support to the Victoria Highlanders’ women’s squads. As presenting partner of the Women’s First Team – Peninsula Co-op Women’s Soccer – the Co-op is thrilled to be able to support Victoria’s team in the United Soccer League’s W-League, the top amateur women’s league in North America. Competition at this level brings additional expenses, such as travel to both California and Colorado, meaning the team needed sponsorship. The locally minded Peninsula Co-op was a perfect ﬁt. “When a company takes a leadership role like that, it’s huge,” says Highlanders president Alex Campbell. In addition to adding a sense of legitimacy to the program, the partnership also helps get the word out. In fact, at the Women’s First Team’s season opener – which they won 3-2 against the Vancouver Whitecaps – attendance was up three times over last year. The Women’s First and U20 teams both sport red and white jerseys bearing the Peninsula Co-op logo and players are working closely with the Co-op, participating with local events, promoting their sport and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. Following two games away in Colorado, fans are encouraged to come cheer on the home team June 1 at Royal Athletic Park.

The Archers stay on target Arnold Lim News staff

With a new single on the horizon, the Archers have their sights set on touring. For the first time the five-man troupe of Stelly’s secondary graduates, featuring Ethan Caleb, Liam Moes, Sandy Hughes, Robert McMullen, and Liam McLaren has taken their show east of the Mainland on a 10-city tour – with an eye on building “their sound” that sets them apart. “We think we have a cool sound going on,” said drummer Moes. “We feel like we have stumbled across something interesting and we hope others feel the same way.” They aren’t the only ones who believe that – early in 2011 the band secured top spot in YouThink’s B.C.’s Best Teen Band Contest taking home the cash and studio recording time that came with the

title. Keeping the ball rolling, they used the studio time to record their newest single Cathedral, the money to finance a tour, and the newfound confidence to propel themselves across B.C. and Alberta. “We pride ourselves on putting on a good live show. We always try to bring good energy and have fun,” Moes said. “We want people to come out to our shows, the more people come out the better we play.” Fun comes easier these days. After high school graduation last June, the future was uncertain and potential for members to embark on different paths was very real. Winning the contest reaffirmed their commitment to each other – and Caleb, one of the band’s founders, believes his choice was an easy one. “The best decision I ever made was to stick around doing what we love,”

Caleb said. “Things are happening to us, it is not just a dream anymore. It is something more.” When they return from their 10-stop tour, the five hope to focus on creating a new full-length album and refining the sound that is getting them noticed. “We just want to keep what we are doing, and keep playing music we love. Our goal is to keep doing that and not have to paint houses and drywall and insulate,” Caleb said laughing. “The best part of being in the Archers is we get to play music … We tapped into a sound people seem to be enjoying at all ages. … If people want to listen and dance and enjoy it in any way – that is great.” The Archers wind up their tour with Mindil Beach Markets on Friday, May 25, at the Off The Grid Festival 2012 at 4 p.m. at Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site, 603 Fort Rodd Hill Rd. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

The line between dinosaurs and birds isnâ€™t clear, Hebda added. Other theories about how dinosaurs move are now being tested through computer models, explained Matt Smith, a paleontologist with the American Museum of Natural History, which created the exhibit. â€œItâ€™s really hard to manipulate these bones,â€? Smith said, pointing to the T. Rex at the exhibitâ€™s entrance. A femur bone might weigh several hundred pounds, he added. â€œSo in a lot of cases, weâ€™ve created computer models to do a lot of our analysis.â€? Nearby is an 18-metre metallic replica of a long-necked apatosaurus skeleton, which was built using a computer model. â€œOne of the questions about these kinds of dinosaurs was â€˜how high could they lift their necks and heads?â€™â€? Smith said. While museums often depict them rearing up on their hind legs, â€œa lot of people suggested it would be very difficult for them to lift their heads very high because they might faint. (Through computer models) we get a much better idea of what these animals could actually do.â€?

Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries opened May 17 and runs through Sept. 16. The museum is also running a series of educational programs, including summer camps and sleepovers with a dinosaur theme. For more information, visit RoyalBCMuseum.bc.ca.

The next time youâ€™re eating a turkey dinner, consider the fact that youâ€™re actually eating dinosaur. This is one of the revelations presented in the Royal B.C. Museumâ€™s latest touring exhibit. Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, combines some of the first significant fossil finds with new understandings of the prehistoric creatures. The museum expects the exhibit, which opened May 17, will attract 175,000 visits through its four-month stay in Victoria. â€œBirds are a line of dinosaurs that survived the great extinction event,â€? said Richard Hebda, the museumâ€™s curator of botany and earth history. â€œIf anybody asks you â€˜whatâ€™s it like to eat a dinosaur?â€™ you can say, â€˜just eat turkey!â€™â€? A diorama of China 125 million years ago recreates the landscape, complete with species of dinosaurlike birds and bird-like dinosaurs, such as the soaring Microraptor, with wings on its arms and legs.

Another theory questioned in the exhibit is the asteroid thought to be responsible for the dinosaursâ€™ disappearance 65 million years ago. â€œItâ€™s not as simple as that,â€? Hebda said. Previous to this big event, volcanic eruptions were pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and the climate was changing. â€œExtinctions were taking place already. This is where the lessons are for us,â€? he said. â€œWe have just passed through a period of climatic instability â€Ś and then humans changing the shape of the landscape. Weâ€™re pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.â€? The conditions, Hebda concluded, are right for another extinction. rholmen@vicnews.com

Langford car crashes lead up to long weekend Sooke Road shutdown for hours after threevehicle incident Friday Kyle Wells

Three cars were involved in a car crash on Sooke Road near Awsworth Road just before 8:30 a.m., Friday, May 18, after a vehicle heading west crossed the centre line. Two people were taken to hospital.

News staff

Two notable car crashes occurred in the days leading up to the Victoria Day long weekend. Two Toyota trucks collided on Jacklin Road near the intersection of Rex Road around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 16. The one truck was hit by the other as it turned left onto Jacklin off Rex. A third car received minor rear-end damage during the crash. There were no injuries and the road remained open while West Shore RCMP attended the scene and the vehicles were towed away. At around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 18, emergency responders were called to the 2900 block of Sooke Road, near Awsworth Road, for a crash involving three cars. According to RCMP, a driver headed west crossed the centre line and collided with a vehicle travelling east. A third car heading east was also hit. One car ended up down an embankment with extensive damage. The other two cars ended up on the shoulder of the road. The drivers of the first two vehicles involved in the crash were taken by ambulance to hospital, along with a child passenger from one of the cars. West Shore RCMP did not know the extent of their injuries when they spoke to the Gazette. Firefighters had to remove the two drivers

Kyle Wells/News staff

from their vehicles. The Jaws of Life were needed to get one of the drivers out. RCMP immediately ruled out alcohol as a factor. South Island Traffic members were called to investigate the crash. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation. Sooke Road was shut down for several hours in both directions while emergency services attended to the crash. Traffic was rerouted by way of Kangaroo Road and Happy Valley Road. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Highlanders seek first home win on Sunday The Victoria Highlanders men’s first team faces the Kitsap Pumas and is looking for its first home win of the 2012 season at Royal Athletic Park on Sunday at 4 p.m. The men opened its season with a pair of back-to-back ties at RAP before a road trip this week. The squad faces Sounders FC U23 in Washington State on Friday. Top players returning this year are team captain Tyler Hughes, 2011 top scorer Jordie Hughes, Ashley Burbeary (5 goals, 8 assists), and goalkeeper Elliot Mitrou. The Highlanders women’s first team is playing its second season out of RAP this year after failing to draw crowds to Bear Mountain Stadium. The women won their first W-league game and home opener 3-2 against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Their next home game is against Seattle on June 1.

Senior Shamrocks Victoria Shamrocks first home game of their 63rd season is Friday night against Maple Ridge at Bear Mountain Arena, 7:45 p.m. In celebration of its 63rd year, fans will be granted free admission to the opener if they can prove they are age 63, born in 1963, attend school in SD63 or can prove any other “63” at the Shamrocks box office. This season, the club will be boosted by the addition of 2012 National Lacrosse League all-star Jeff Shattler, who plays for the Calgary Roughnecks. Shattler, a 6-foot, 185pound transition is a former Mann Cup and Champion’s Cup winner “It’s funny” notes Shamrocks GM Chris Welch. “There has been so much attention paid to leaving players but I think fans will be really excited by the team we have here, obviously with Shats being back but the other guys too.” Junior A Shamrocks The Jr. A Shamrocks face the Burnaby Lakers at home on Saturday, May 26, 5 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. As of last Friday, the Jr. Rocks held a 4-2 record and were third in the league after dropping a home game to the New Westminster Salmonbellies in a close 9-7 decision. Intermed. A Shamrocks The intermediate A Shamrocks stand 2-2 as of last Friday. The ‘Rocks’ next home game is Saturday, May 26, 1:30 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena against the struggling Port Coquitlam Saints.
