Public has its say on Colwood sewer costs Less capacity, fair cost sharing among recommendations Kyle Wells News staff

Less capacity and more local treatment and public input was the message from Colwood residents about proposed sewage treatment costs. Colwood city staff heard from the public, who weighed in last week at a transportation and public infrastructure meeting held to discuss concerns over sewage costs.

The issue revolves around sewage treatment for the Capital Regional District. Municipalities are being asked to buy in for whatever capacity they will need over the next 20 years. For a fast growing community such as Colwood that means potentially paying large amounts of money now for capacity that may not be used for years to come. Based on what was heard at the meeting, Coun. Judith Cullington said the infrastructure committee she chairs will recommend council buy in for less capacity than originally planned. The city can then build its own treatment facilities

when needed in the future, with developers footing the bill. “(We’ll) look at opportunities for smaller, localized treatment plants and kind of address new development as it comes on board,” said Cullington. “That’s certainly not a done decision, but that’s certainly what we heard from people.” The second issue is how the city is going to pay for sewage capacity. “It’s unfair to put it all on the backs of the existing sewer users because that could be horrendously expensive,” Cullington said. “Equally, it also seems unfair to put the treatment costs on to the backs of people who don’t get that service.”

The committee is also recommending council have ongoing consultation with the public going forward. “This is something that affects every homeowner, or potentially affects every homeowner, so how do we make sure that people have an opportunity to say their piece.” The decision about capacity needs to be made soon now that senior levels of government have committed funds, while the decision over how to allocate the costs is less urgent. Colwood city council will address the issue at its next meeting on Monday, July 23 at 7 p.m. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Government funds in, sewage project moving ahead Property taxes to take major jump to pay for treatment infrastructure

Did you know? Here are some quick facts about the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program: Total project cost: $782.7 million Start date: late 2012 or early 2013 Projected completion date: 2018 Annual operating costs to Capital Regional District: $14 million to $15 million Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood, Langford are involved in the project The federal government initiated funding talks with the CRD in 2006

Daniel Palmer News staff

Greater Victoria homeowners are bracing to see an extra $200 to $500 on their annual property tax bills, now that the federal and provincial governments have committed their share of the $782-million cost of building sewage treatment infrastructure. Residents in the seven invested municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal and Colwood will have to absorb the tax hikes until the project is completed in 2018, said Denise Blackwell, chair of the Capital Regional District’s liquid waste management committee. “A lot of people know that this is something that’s been a long time coming and is probably overdue,” she said. “We still have some people who think dilution is the solution, but we’ve been ordered by the provincial government to do it. I believe later this week, the federal government is announcing the new regulations that will mean we have to do it anyway.” The CRD needs to contribute $281 million – approximately one-third of the total cost – of the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program, which includes construction of a treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, upgrades to the conveyance system and a biosolids energy centre. “Fundamentally, it’s time for us to treat our sewage,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. “We just cannot continue to dump our

Denise Blackwell, Langford city councillor and chair of the Capital Regional District’s core liquid waste management committee, speaks at a press conference Monday to announce federal and provincial funding for a new wastewater treatment system for the region.

He said the project is long overdue.

“This is a quarter of a billion dollars to end dumping of sewage into the waters around Victoria,” he said, adding he expects to see work to begin “later this year.” The next step for the CRD will be hiring a project manager to oversee the work and to

create a bylaw to establish a management committee. The CRD will then receive requests for proposals from various contractors before breaking ground on the project, which is expected to create 10,000 person-years of labour. “I think shovels in the ground at the end of this year is probably a bit optimistic, but beginning of next year for sure,” Blackwell said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Rock the Shores festival goes off without incident It was an Island show that showed the Island might just have found a new venue for large scale events. West Shore Parks and Recreation administrator Linda Barnes said traffic was not a problem, and the fields survived with little to no damage. “It was a really eye-opening experience in terms of working together on a large scale event. It’s how things should work,” Barnes said. “Everybody was just happy and enjoying themselves. I think everybody left happy. It’s a good feeling because I think we really showed that West Shore can really host this kind of event. We got all kinds of really good, positive feedback from the community.” The 12,000 people who packed in the lower fields at the West Shore Parks and

Fire destroys tow truck A tow truck engulfed in flames provided a spectacle for residents of a Langford condominium complex Sunday morning. The vehicle was consumed by fire before firefighters were able to knock down the flames. Several people photographed images of the blaze, which reportedly damaged as many as nine other vehicles parked nearby. “There was a lot of heat radiating off of it,” said Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett, noting that vehicles contain plenty of plastic and other combus-

tible materials that would have fueled the fire after it started. The Langford fire department was called at 11:06 a.m. Their next step is to determine the source of ignition and the initial fuel source. The tow truck driver reported hearing a “pop,” which might indicate a fuel leak under the vehicle, Beckett said. Once fire inspectors look over the vehicle, it will be given a mechanical inspection. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Glass or plastic lenses Once you have your prescription for eyeglass lenses there are a number of decisions you must make. Perhaps one of the most important is whether to have your corrective lenses made out of glass or plastic. Today, in Canada, most spectacle lenses are made of plastic. Plastic lenses have improved so much over the last 20 years, that plastic has become the lens material of choice. If glass lenses are chosen it is imperative to get shatter resistant lenses. There is no such thing as shatter-proof glass. So, for occupations that require safety eyewear, glass is not acceptable. Plastic lenses can absorb much more punishment. Some plastic materials are extremely safe and therefore afford good protection in certain high risk occupations. Both glass and plastic can be made in “thin” or high index materials which are more practical for strong prescriptions. Because plastic is softer than glass, there is a misconception that plastic lenses will scratch easily. This does not have to be the case provided proper care is taken. Elaborate cleaning measures are not necessary, just simple common sense precautions. Plastic lenses will not become scratched from normal use; they get scratched when exposed to abrasives. Today’s scratch coatings make plastic lens surfaces very durable. Ask your Optometrist about the different types of lens materials available for your prescription.

Longtime Victoria residents remember her as host of the Noon Show, and later, the Ida Clarkson Show. Clarkson died at age 85 Friday. She leaves a legacy of 30 years in television with CHEK-TV, and a broadcasting scholarship in her name through Camosun College. Clarkson was born in Victoria and began her career in 1946 as a creative writer for CJVI radio. She later advanced to director of womenâ€™s programming. After taking time off to raise a family, she was hired at CHEK-TV in 1961 as a copy editor. One year later she was asked to co-host a live daily program, which evolved into her own show focused on community events and interviews with people of interest. She retired in 1991. In 1998, CHEK made a donation to establish the Ida Clarkson Broadcast Bursary Endowment Fund, to honour her achievements. The fund, matched by the Camosun Foundation and later switched to a scholarship, helps women, aboriginal people, visible minorities and people with disabilities fund their second year in Camosunâ€™s applied communications program. The program has since been cancelled at the college, but 30 students benefited from the Clarkson funding. rholmen@vicnews.com

The body of a 60-year-old Langford man was recovered from Florence Lake shortly after noon on Friday, July 13. The name has not been released by West Shore RCMP, but the body was identified at the scene by a friend of the missing man. Late in the afternoon on July 12, a 60-year-old man and a 51-year-old man were boating on the lake. The boat capsized about 30 feet from shore. Witnesses saw both men swimming to shore. The 51-year-old made it to shore and then fled the scene immediately after. The 60-year-old did not appear and search and rescue crews combed the area until dusk but could not find the man. The boat capsized 30 feet from the shore and the body was found 130 feet from where the boat tipped.

The Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the District of Metchosin Municipal Ofﬁce, 4450 Happy Valley Road, Metchosin, British Columbia, V9C 3Z3 on Monday, July 23, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing if they request. A person may appear in person, be represented by another person, or make a written submission to identify issues directly relating to the proposed bylaws. No further submissions will be accepted after the Public Hearing closes. Copies of the proposed bylaws and other related materials may be inspected or obtained at the District of Metchosin Municipal Ofﬁce, 4450 Happy Valley Road, Metchosin, British Columbia, V9C 3Z3 (Telephone: (250) 474-3167). The copies will be available from the ﬁrst date of this notice up to and including Monday, July 23, 2012 inclusive, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday (excluding holidays).

At 5 p.m., July 12, West Shore RCMP and Langford Fire Rescue arrived on scene searching for the missing man. When nothing turned up, they called in the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team. “Swimming in this lake would be like clawing your way through weeds,” said Cst. Greg Bouvier, RCMP Underwater Recovery Team. The deceased man was found without a lifejacket. “No one saw him drown. One minute he was swimming and the next he was gone,” said Cpl. Bryson Hill, noting that people who drown often disappear suddenly. “Drowning isn’t like what you see in the movies.” The maximum water depth where the divers found the body is 11 feet and the weeds are eight feet high. RCMP have not been able to question the survivor. RCMP speculate the 51-year-old fled the scene because he has an outstanding warrant for a violent offense. “We don’t know what happened when the boat capsized,” said Hill, adding the police want to question the survivor but, if he comes forward, he will be arrested for his warrant. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Graving dock gets overhaul Erin McCracken News staff

The Esquimalt Graving Dock, where the finishing touches will be done on a future contingent of naval and Coast Guard vessels, is getting its own $101-million overhaul. Over the next five years the money, announced in the April budget as part of the federal governmentâ€™s Economic Action Plan 2012, will pay for modernization and restoration to the dock, built in 1927 and owned by Public Works and Government Services Canada. Victoria Shipyards, owned by Seaspan Marine Corp., bases its operations at the site and regularly uses the drydock to repair and overhaul Royal Canadian Navy ships, B.C. Ferries vessels and cruise ships, among others.

While much of the work will be done at Seaspanâ€™s Vancouver Shipyards, the new ships will be completed at Victoria Shipyards. â€œThis $101-million investment will â€Ś ensure that (Public Works and Government Services Canada) fulfills its obligations to all ship-repair compa-

Lori Lenaghan MORTGAGE AGENT

A Sooke-based â€œhandymanâ€? has admitted to defrauding 10 customers across the Greater Victoria three years ago. Glen John French, 62, pleaded guilty in Victoria provincial court last Thursday to 10 counts of fraud of under $5,000. Five of the frauds took place in Saanich, three in Victoria and one in Esquimalt in 2009, and one in early 2010 in Langford. After amassing enough complaints, Saanich police issued a warrant for Frenchâ€™s arrest in April 2010. He turned himself in shortly after. Police said French solicited his handyman renovation services using Craigslist and UsedVictoria websites, entered into false contracts with homeowners and ask for a deposit, but wouldnâ€™t return to complete the job, giving excuses such as marital problems or a family death. A pre-sentencing hearing for French is scheduled for Aug. 23 in Victoria.

OUR VIEW

Concert venue has potential Aside from some minor grumbling, last Friday’s Rock the Shores concert went over remarkably well. In fact, the question West Shore residents will have to ask themselves is if they want the venue used more often for similar large scale events. No other location in Greater Victoria has been able to accommodate as large a crowd with such minor disruption to our region’s transportation corridors. Both before and after the sold out show, which featured The Tragically Hip, there were few reports of traffic congestion – and this on Friday afternoon along a route that sees plenty of vehicles lodged in the notorious Colwood Crawl. Much of the credit can go to all those concert-goers who chose to heed the early warning and find alternative means to get to the grounds. Many people chose to ride their bicycle to the venue, earning the privilege of entering through the VIP gate. Ironically that might have led to larger than expected line-ups at that gate – a legitimate concern for people who paid extra to access that section. But other than complaints about waiting in line, notably at the water station and beer garden, not even a surprise thunderstorm dampened the spirit of the event. The crowd itself was remarkably patient, even as lightning strikes forced the Sam Roberts Band from the stage. The RCMP report only a few minor incidents involving intoxication but nothing that would cause them to question whether an event of this size should be held again. West Shore Parks and Recreation also report few concerns resulting from the concert. Fields were fine the next day and business quickly returned to normal for the groups that regularly use the facility. It appears Greater Victoria might have found a new home for events that attract huge crowds. The choice facing West Shore residents now is whether that’s something we want to see happen again.

But right now, even before my 17 teammates and I head out on Tour, Mount Washington stands in our way. It’s been said by many past riders that you don’t remember much of the riding – you’ll remember the community stops, the children you hug, the stories you hear and the emotions of it all, but not the biking. I made it to the top of Mount Washington on Sunday along with my team – and we were all elated – but I barely remember the ride. What’s stayed with me, instead, were the emotions I felt. I remember a few periodic moments of dread, when I looked up the road and saw steep, endless asphalt. And I remember the pride I felt – the smile plastered to my face – when I pulled in to the ski lodge, sweaty and panting, after conquering Mount Washington. Those emotion-filled memories, on both ends of the spectrum, are what I will take away from my experience as a Tour de Rock rider – it won’t be the Vancouver Island scenery or the six-hour rides along rolling Island roads. At the end of the day, I’m riding for the kids and families dealing with pediatric cancer – they’re the fighters.

This is a perfect example of West Shore. how new infrastructure can be established It’s not surprising our infrastructure through community efforts and collective has fallen significantly behind the populagood will. Now all we need to do is harness

the “can-do” attitude of the West Shore and put it towards improving our transportation challenges. The B.C. Transit Independent Review panel will report by the end of the summer to the Minister of Transportation and infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom. The panel will include recommendations on governance of transit issues across the province, including the Greater Victoria Region. It’s important for West Shore citizens and businesses to realize the current B.C. Transit can and does impose property tax increases as they see fit for their operating or capital needs. It’s also important to realize that there is not a central co-ordinating body with the authority, budget and skills to oversee all of the various transportation and transit issues facing the West Shore and the Greater Victoria region. Rather, it’s a mish mash of competing regulatory and governing bodies that do not co-ordinate or even collaborate well at times. Simply put, the current system does not work well and has little chance of helping us solve urgent West Shore trans-

portation needs in a creative and inventive fashion. The chamber recommends there be one overall transportation authority for the region to oversee buses, rail, highway and marine routes throughout Greater Victoria, and that any such body have heavy representation from the West Shore since the majority of transportation issues in the Greater Victoria are West Shore focused. Our council reps all agreed the West Shore needs more representation in any new structures or revisions to the existing decision-making structures. Let’s hope the panel heard our arguments for both an overall body and for significant West Shore representation. We should be able to help shape our own transportation future in the West Shore as we already do so successfully in many other areas. This is a vibrant community and we need a vibrant comprehensive transportation system to match it. Dan Spinner is the CEO of the West Shore Chamber of Commerce dspinner@westshore.bc.ca

LETTERS ‘Lost smile’ to blame in Pacific Tattoo dispute At the Pacific Tattoo on Sunday afternoon my three-and-a-halfyear-old son was asking me questions about what he was seeing and hearing. After a slew of dirty looks, a woman in front of us turned around and requested that I get my son to stop talking because it was bothering her. My reply was that such a request of a young boy at a family event was completely absurd. The woman’s daughter told me it was my job as a parent to stop him from talking. The insightful granddaughter asked her mother to stop and later apologized for her grandmother’s behaviour. To be clear, my son was not yelling, kicking the seats or causing a ruckus. He was politely sitting on my lap occasionally curious about the amazing things he was seeing and hearing and wanted to share that joy with his loving parent. My son did not choose to be here and I see parenting as a privilege versus a job. My son’s language skills are highly developed. He knows the importance and value of curiosity. He is listened to with all my attention and feels valued, loved and respected. He knows already that his words, thoughts and opinions matter to me. Despite the granddaughter’s best efforts to redirect her grandmother, she came at us again during intermission to tell us to “move to some other seats and go bother someone else for the next half of the show.” I suggested it was she harassing us and others who had paid to enjoy this family event as equally as she had. She demanded what kind of lessons I

was teaching my son. When she eventually left us alone my son said, “Mommy, what was that conversation about?” Well son, this life lesson is we sometimes encounter people who are not filled with innocent curiosity, life, love and happiness as you are. For whatever reason they have lost their smile and are perhaps not aware of how to retrieve it and don’t always enjoy special moments of life. This head space does not enable them to appreciate the joy in others. So my son, you are lovingly seen and heard but apparently misery still loves company. Marlene Weeks Colwood

Razorblade rant goes against individual choice Re. “Sharp practice on the market”, June 27. G.E. Mortimore jumps from frustration at reduced availability of his favourite shaving razor to scare-mongering about trade freedom, seeming to have a conspiracy theory of economics that leads him to want to control other people. He can buy his beloved Schick injector razor blades from Sears. com, and easily buy the razors on the Internet for $10. That’s not a bad price with today’s inflated currency. Needs vary – some people have sensitive skin, some have bumpy skin, apparently people like the newer designs. Nicking is always a risk. Mortimore might appreciate even better protection by designs as his motor skills deteriorate with edge. (By his logic people should have stuck with the old knife-blade razors.) And Mortimore overlooks that some modern multi-blade razors

change only the blade assembly, you keep the handle. He then launches into a tirade against freedom of trading values with other people, specifically a trade-treaty provision intended to prevent playing games. That’s an odd position for someone who benefits from exporting forest products, which the U.S. played games over. Mortimore talks “free lunch” rather than “free market”, expecting producers to keep making whatever he wants and sell at a very low price – that would be sacrifice. But his real agenda is against what has provided the living aids, food, shelter, and medical care he enjoys – individual freedom. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Projected cost of View Royal fire hall seems fair To all the naysayers who insist the $8-million loan to build a new View Royal fire hall and $6 million in interest over 20 years is too expensive, just how much do you think building a fire hall should cost? How much for the material and how much to pay the skilled electricians, masonries, plummers etc? What have you built in life similar to qualify you to determine what a fire hall should cost? Too bad you didn’t direct any of your energy into working out what the total $14 million would cost each of the 3,500 View Royal rate payers per year. I did the math for you and it will only be $200 per house per year. It will even be less when you factor in that

businesses in View Royal will be pitching in with their city taxes, and even less when you have to conclude that over 20 years View Royal will grow like all other municipalities, broadening the tax base. You just see the $8 million and say “oh my gosh that’s a lot of money. Too much money.” Andre Mollon Langford

a valid argument in his letter published July 11 (“View Royal’s plans for new fire hall are excessively expensive”), but when he begins by childishly making fun of Mr. Screech’s last name all his credibility is lost. Please stick to the facts and leave name calling to the schoolyard. Rob Webb Colwood

Joke on councillors name Coucillor needs to chose not funny or appropriate her words more carefully I feel that everyone has the right to disagree or debate the decisions that his or her local council make. However, I cannot take someone seriously when they submit a letter to the editor to complain about a particular issue and said letter begins by suggesting a councillor has been drinking, or is simply trying to make a joke of their last name. Mr. John Townsen may have

One would have to question the “appropriateness “ of the term Coun. Heidi Rast used - “ a bunch of crap.“ It may be a commonly used expression these days, but coming from a municipal councillor, the term is not acceptable. A public apology to the citizens of View Royal would be expected and appreciated. Linda Speed View Royal

West Shore Supermoto riders hit the streets

Understanding Dementia

Victoria Supermoto riders ditched the track and hit the streets of Duncan last weekend. Four streets in Duncan were closed to the public and transformed into a racing loop. The racers zipped through the streets completing up to 10 laps. “We are going to bring our ramp and have some more technical turns on the course where people have to slow down and then speed up,” said Calvin van Elsakker, president of Victoria Supermoto, before the race. Van Elsakker, a Langford resident, welded all of the trophies out of old tools. This street race was the first of its kind in the province. The Victoria Supermoto riders are usually found at Western Speedway. While the race organizers saw thousands of people come out to watch the race in Duncan, van Elsakker would love to see a similar race held on the West Shore. Every week, about 30 riders hop on their supermoto bikes – a cross between a sport bike and a dirt bike – and race around Western Speedway. A new track is created each week with challenges including S-turns and a ramp. Sometimes they even venture over to the motocross track located right beside the speedway.

Sharon Mahoney admits that convincing some of the world’s top buskers to hit Victoria last year was a big risk, professionally and personally. Victoria, a known tourist town, wasn’t a significant draw for the international street performer circuit. But local artist John Vickers was aiming to reenergize the downtown with a high-calibre busker festival, and Mahoney was key. The Victoria-based performer has toured the world in her quirky red tracksuit as the passive-aggressive “Sharon from Canada” and her alter ego, the outright aggressive Miss Tallulah. Mahoney had the connections, but convincing performers to attend an untested festival required a leap of faith. “Some top street performers really took a risk; I begged friends of mine to take a risk,” said Mahoney, the artistic director for the Victoria International Buskers Festival, now approaching its second year. “The presPhoto courtesy of the Victoria International Busker Festival sure was there.

His hard work and perseverance are something of a legend on Canadian soil. Whitfield seemingly came out of nowhere in 2000 to win the first Olympic gold medal in triathlon. When he returned eight years later to win silver (nearly gold) in Beijing, he cemented his reputation as a loveable winner, smiling

all the way. The 37-year-old has won nearly everything on the table in the sport of triathlon: 14 World Cup victories and 21 podium finishes, seven top-10 finishes at the World Championships, 10 Canadian titles, gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 1999 Pan American Games. sports@vicnews.com

Not too shabby of a day for the 18-year-old Reynolds secondary grad, who is headed to the UVic Vikes golf team this fall. Though Broughton lifted the Gordon Bowers Trophy as champion, it wasn’t until the 18th hole that he knew he’d be able to stave off Kevin Ko (second) and Team Canada’s Kevin Kwon (fourth), who he was paired with. “It was my first time being around the lead on the final day,” Broughton said. “You don’t really think about who you’re playing with or what shot lead he has. “I did my best not to look at the (scores) being carried around (Friday). I knew the lead was changing back and forth,” Broughton said.

Last year Broughton was 15th at the same tournament, and the last time he won a tournament was a Zone 5 (Victoria and Duncan area) tourney in 2011. Friday started with leader Kwon, of Pitt Meadows, at six-under par, three strokes better than Broughton. But Kwon collapsed, shooting eight bogeys, which hurt dragged him back to fourth place overall. Broughton, meanwhile, was the model of consistency, one of three of the 154 entrants to shoot even-par, 72, on each of the first two days. Broughton turned it on with a three-under, 69, on Thursday and 70 on Friday, to win with a total score of 72-72-69-70, 283, five-under par. The top three finishers, Broughton, and 16-yearolds Ko (second) and Chris Crisologo (third), make up Team B.C., which will compete at the Canadian Junior Boys’ Championship in Bridgewater, N.S., July 31 to Aug. 3. Victoria’s Jake Duvall (sixth), Connor Gann (13th) and Darren Day (18th) also qualified for the Canadian championships. Naomi Ko was the top Victoria finisher in the junior girls championship held at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club. Ko was eighth overall, 11-over, just ahead of 11th place Hayley Kruse. sports@vicnews.com

Well played move, Bill Bestwick. The newly hired general manager and head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies is behind the B.C. Hockey League team’s new Alumni Advisory Board, consisting of former player Ryan O’Byrne of the 2001-02 Salsa and former coach Geoff Courtnall of the 2008-09 Grizz. Along with hiring Craig Didmon and acquiring a handful of players, the Alumni Advisory Board is the first significant big-picture move of Bestwick’s tenure. The board’s creation signifies a change in culture around the Grizzlies under new majority owner Ron Walchuk, who recently took over that role from Len Barrie. With the presence of O’Byrne and Courtnall, albeit intermittent and mostly for advisory purposes, the Grizzlies become a more attractive destination for talented hockey players wishing to play in the NCAA, Bestwick said in the team’s release. “It is wonderful to have people like Geoff and Ryan who want to give back to the sport that has given them so much,” added Bestwick. “The Grizzlies have helped so many local athletes move on to the NCAA and the WHL, and ultimately the NHL, and it will be great for the team and the community to have these players back involved in junior hockey here.” O’Byrne, a top-six defenceman with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, also played in the BCHL with the Nanaimo Clippers under Bestwick in 2003, before playing three years at Cornell University. Courtnall, a veteran of 17 years in the NHL, oversaw the development of his son Justin (Boston University Terriers) and many other Grizzlies currently in the NCAA who played on the 2008-09 team which hosted the RBC Cup. The board will advise the GM and ownership group with a focus on hockey operations and the development model for players to reach their educational and hockey career goals. sports@vicnews.com

Eagles on the fly First Nations soccer team at Indigenous Soccer Cup Travis Paterson News staff

With flights paid for and hotel rooms booked, the Golden Eagles soccer club touched down in Albuquerque, N.M., on Monday for the 2012 Indigenous Soccer Cup. Enterprising coach Charlotte Charlie leads the co-ed team, which is made up of players 19-and-under from Alert Bay, Village Island, Saanich, Songhees and Cowichan First Nations. In recent months Charlie, of Victoria, has championed the team, and what it stands for, in a campaign to fundraise $17,500. That’s the total cost for the Golden Eagles to play in this week’s Indigenous Cup, July 16 to 22. The team came so close; players are left owing between $50 to $70 each for the remaining costs of the hotel and food. “The team worked hard at fundraising and promoting their goal. We hit walls left, right and centre along the way due to the fact that we are a new team,” Charlie said. As of last Thursday the team was just $3,250 shy of that goal, when a final fundraiser, a two-day silent auction with lunches and dinners

at the Tsawout band office, pulled in an additional $1,340. A bottle drive on Saturday raised another $614, bring them within $1,500 of the original target. “The hotels are 90 per cent paid for, and the food is mostly paid for. Now we can focus on playing,” Charlie said. Charlie uses the team to promote health and wellness among First Nations youth, while encouraging leadership and education. Charlie, a former a student facilitator at Esquimalt High, volunteers her own time to do group or individual tutoring to help the players work towards college and university. “I anticipate we’ll make it to the finals. We’re a pretty good team. Teams from B.C. always come away with high expectations, and have won gold there before.” Because it’s Charlie’s and the team’s first time to the Cup, she brought in a variety of voices to speak about what lies ahead. Some soccer experts spoke of the differing playing styles to expect from Central American teams, while others who have been there before, spoke of what to expect day in and day out. The Golden Eagles are continuing to fundraise and will continue playing when they return. To donate contact Charlie at 250-217-2416, or char_charlie@hotmail.com. sports@vicnews.com
