Carbon credits a major expense for Island’s health authority Taxpayer watchdog argues B.C.’s Pacific Carbon Trust actions amount to ‘corporate welfare’ Daniel Palmer News staff

The Vancouver Island Health Authority spent more than $880,000 last year to pay for carbon offsets, something the organization attributes to colder weather in 2011 and the expansion of its hospitals. The 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide produced by the authority is still six per cent lower than 2007 levels, when the province began requiring public bodies to pur-

chase offsets through crown corporation Pacific Carbon Trust. VIHA hopes to reduce its carbon footprint by 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020. “Heat recovery from chilled water systems has huge potential and is being implemented at Victoria General and Nanaimo Regional General hospitals,” said spokesperson Shannon Marshall, adding that VIHA is also exploring neighbourhood energy systems with the City of Victoria and Capital Regional District. Pacific Carbon Trust buys carbon credits from energy-

efficient companies in the private sector, and then sells them to school districts, health authorities and other government bodies to offset carbon output. Last year, the Trust sold $14 million in credits to public institutions. The system is meant to create an across-the-board neutral carbon footprint throughout the province.

Part 2 in a series looking at why and how the Songhees First Nation is protecting its private property on Chatham and Discovery islands.

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Songhees Coun. Ron Sam, right, shakes the hand of Phil Teece, while James Mantle looks on. The two men were recognized by the Songhees Nation for the work they’ve done to protect and restore the nation’s islands.

A show of respect for those who care Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Dry grass and tinder trees are part of the concern surrounding fires left unattended on Chatham Island. Yet people still have fires and leave them burning, says Phil Teece who’s been putting out flames on the island for more than 50 years.

James Mantle, Phil Teece and Andrew Manning earned a lifetime pass for their work preserving the islands. It’s a card, that they should carry, issued by the Songhees Nation that certifies the men to be guests without permit or notification on the nation’s islands.

“Gentlemen like these need to be stood up and recognized by our nation for the work that they do in looking after our lands,” said Songhees Coun. Ron Sam. The men were also given prints of the nation’s logo as thanks for their work.

COMING TOGETHER: The people who protect and restore the islands Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

hristmas Day 1985 is seared on one Oak Bay man’s mind. That day, Phil Teece doused a fire on Chatham Island. “People don’t realize the islands are tinder dry, even in the wet season,” he said. The avid sailor has put out flames on the Songhees lands – Chatham and a large portion of Discovery islands – for more than 50 years. Teece, James Mantle and Andrew Manning, who was not at the ceremony, were recognized recently for their work on the private property that is subject to rampant trespassing. Mantle enjoyed visits to the island until garbage, floating in from the sea and left by boaters, got to him. He started to clean the beaches of seaborne debris and the trash left by people, slowly reclaiming and rebuilding the ecosystem as it returned to its natural state. “That, for me, is the reward, to watch it all grow back,” he said. “It’s a mystic, mystic place.” Joan Morris is among those preserving the heritage and plant life, working with the University of Victoria to study the ecology of the islands. She lived her first 10 years on Chatham, and knows the traditional plants of

print annually, a reduction of 30 per cent from current levels. But the city is also considering the purchase of offsets through Pacific Carbon Trust to meet its goal. In a report submitted in 2008, the Oak Bay Climate Change Task Force made several recommendations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The municipality committed to becoming carbon neutral in its operations by 2012. “We committed to zero in on strategies to reduce our carbon output,” said Oak Bay Coun. Tara Ney. “It was our committment and I was fully behind it,” she added. However, she said it seems to have “fallen off the radar.” “I thought we were heading that way … but I don’t know,” she said. Mayor Nils Jensen said the municipality budgeted to pay $35,000 in carbon offsets in 2012. “We’re doing quite well,” Jensen said. “We’re reducing our carbon footprint and are continuing to do so.” He cited energy savings in Oak Bay recreation centres and the purchase of hybrid police vehicles as examples. dpalmer@vicnews.com

“It’s basically corporate welfare,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “The bottom line for me is $14 million in tax money. If it was being handed out in any other kind of grant, people would be up in arms about it.” The carbon-trading program has led to B.C. becoming the third-largest carbon offset economy in North America. It is intended to fund green innovations and encourage reductions in energy consumption. The program has, however, failed to blossom into an international exchange and has not attracted private industry. Only $54,080, or 0.3 per cent, of carbon offset purchases last year came from the private sector. “It’s a free-market failure,” Bateman said. “If it were any other business, we’d shut it down and move on.” The City of Victoria has pledged to be carbon neutral by the start of 2013. It plans to implement a kitchen scraps program next February that would remove an estimated 1,200 tonnes of carbon from its foot-

Directors face fines for stalling sewage treatment Report warns of $500,000 fines or two years in jail Daniel Palmer News staff

Capital Regional District directors who hinder progress on the upcoming secondary sewage treatment project could face steep fines – even jail time – under new federal regulations. CRD staff presented a report on new Fisheries Act regulations that warns directors if they intentionally do not meet the 2020 deadline for the project they could be fined up to $500,000 or face two years in prison. “That’s for every individual incident, and each day the violation occurs is a separate incident,” said Denise Blackwell, chair of the CRD’s liquid waste management committee. The federal wastewater regulations, brought into effect last month, identify nearly 400 communities across Canada that are considered high risk for their lack of secondary sewage treatment.

They must comply with the regulations by 2020 or face the steep penalties. “The federal government believes we’re their No. 1 target for not meeting these regulations, and that’s why they’re giving us $280 million,” Blackwell said. The federal and provincial governments have agreed to fund two-thirds of the Capital Region’s $782-million project, while the CRD will foot the remainder. Despite the funding, some directors continue to challenge the high risk designation, citing a lack of scientific data. “Virtually every credible marine scientist in the area

has said … ‘there’s not a problem here, this isn’t necessary,’” said director Vic Derman, a Saanich councillor. “The prime minister recently said a pipeline should be determined by science. Well, then so should Victoria’s sewage situation.” Critics have also been lobbying the CRD to request an exemption under the regulations and avoid the huge public expenditure. The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment (ARESST) purports the current system of pumping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is environmentally

Next steps ■ Aug. 22 – Sewage committee meeting, where CRD staff will report on site selection for the planned biosolids energy plant. ■ September – An external consultant will begin the search for seven qualified sewage commissioners, and CRD staff will begin meeting with companies interested in putting forward requests for qualifications. ■ November – Newly appointed sewage commission will assume control of the project from the CRD. ■ January to April 2014 – The earliest date to award a company with the design and construction of McLoughlin Point wastewater treatment plant.

sound. But CRD staff wrote in their report that “there are no opportunities to get an exemption from the new regulations, unless the facility is located in the north,” specifying only Nunavut, Northwest Territories and parts of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador as eligible areas. Former federal environment minister David Anderson told the News that the regulations should be adjusted to allow regions like Greater Victoria the chance to utilize its unique geographical advantages for sewage treatment. “If the federal government decided to have the same snow-removal requirements for Victoria as in Quebec, we would call that ridiculous,” Anderson said. When the CRD passes a bylaw later this month, a process will begin to appoint a panel of seven experts who will run the project. While no CRD directors will sit on the panel, the bylaw will contain explicit language to ensure financial accountability, Blackwell said. “Any changes to the budget in any way, shape or

form have to come back to (the CRD).” The panel should be in place by November. Its first task will be to solicit requests for qualifications from interested companies for the McLoughlin Plant design and construction. dpalmer@vicnews.com

IN BRIEF

A 84-year-old Oak Bay woman was ticketed after failing to yield to a pedestrian at Fort Street and Foul Bay Road on Aug. 9. The woman allegedly bumped into a 85-year-old Oak Bay man who was crossing Foul Bay. The woman hit the man at a very slow speed while making a right turn, police said. The pedestrian was taken to hospital for possible knee injury.

Teen spotted with replica gun An Oak Bay teen was lectured about the dangers of carrying toy guns after being seen with a replica handgun at a bus stop. The 15-year-old was spotted in the 2900-block of Foul Bay Rd. around 1 p.m. last Friday. The teen was allegedly holding the handgun and pointing it in various directions, before boarding the bus. Police stopped the bus at the intersection of Fort and Foul Bay and removed the

young man. The teen’s mother was notified and the youth was later released.

Scammer targets Oak Bay woman A 75-year-old Oak Bay woman nearly lost $250 to telephone fraud on Aug. 8. The elderly woman allegedly received a phone call from a male who claimed to be from Microsoft. The man advised the woman that she needed new computer software, police said. The woman gave her credit card number to the man and was charged approximately $250. However, the credit card company did not allow the transaction to go through. Police are cautioning the public to not provide credit card numbers over the phone, unless sure the business is legitimate.

Break and enter on Cadboro Bay Oak Bay police attended a break and enter at Devon Properties on Cadboro Bay Road Sunday.

A stairwell door was forced open to gain access to the building, police said. However, an alarm sounded and it appears nothing was stolen. Saanich police forensic identification section will continue the investigation.

Range of Vision If you have normal vision, you should be able to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away. When your eye doctor examines your eyes he will measure your vision at long distance as well as close up. The measurement for distance vision is usually taken at 20 feet. A test for near vision is usually taken at the normal reading distance or about 16 inches. Near vision is used for reading, sewing, eating and any other activity in which the object you are looking at is within arms length. Intermediate vision includes computer screens, music on a stand, cards on a table etc. Distance vision is considered anything beyond that point. This would include looking at television or at people across the room, even though the distance is relatively short. You need to see clearly wherever you happen to be looking. Straining your eyes to try to see objects clearly can often cause headaches and other discomfort. If you think you may need glasses or contact lenses or a new lens correction, see your family optometrist for an examination.

OUR VIEW

Ask voters if they want a pipeline Perhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle with Alberta – over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean – as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign. It stands to reason, since the B.C. NDP has staked the opposed-to-pipeline position and the B.C. Conservatives have claimed the supportwith-conditions spot. However, by demanding that B.C. receive oil royalties from profits made from what flows through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support the Enbridge proposal. Those opposed have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage. Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release, when he said the B.C. Liberal government has missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.” John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to “consult and accommodate” First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories. If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed through their territories the pipeline simply will not be. With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, with First Nations still on the sidelines and with strong opposition among the public, perhaps it would be wise for Clark to add a non-binding referendum question to the May 14, 2013 general election ballot. A simple question – Are you in favour of the Enbridge pipeline proposal? – could produce results that tell the government of the day exactly which direction it should travel on this pipeline proposal.

B.C. liquor laws finally effective VICTORIA – Here’s a summer selling to a minor, for an 84 per scene being played out all over cent compliance rate. Only four North America.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS

Modern standards force larger footprint Aphid poop a problem, too

Re: Why not reno? (Letters, Aug. 8) A writer asked me what “modern standards” would require a larger Oak Bay Lodge. The answer is simple: the current building does not meet modern standards of care. If one takes the legally mandated square footage per resident and multiplies that by the current number of residents, it would require a significantly larger building than exists today. We had near-unanimous desire to keep these beds in Oak Bay, and so supporting that principle also required supporting a larger building. The current building may be used for other purposes in the future, but not for residential and dementia care as currently exists.

For all the pros and cons of the Oak Bay Lodge proposal, we now face the reality that Oak Bay will be the only core municipality without residential care or dementia beds. We will have lost 280 care beds, 256 full time jobs, and the ability to provide a full continuum of care within Oak Bay. Rather than increasing community care by a fairly modest 14 per cent, we are losing it all. Rather than contributing to the regional care needs, we will now be wholly dependent on other communities to house our elderly in need. Even those opposed to the specifics of the project can recognize that Oak Bay will be poorer for this loss. Kevin Murdoch Oak Bay councillor

Council faced tough decision on lodge Recent letters critical of our decision to deny the Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment proposal suggest that Oak Bay does not want to play its part in providing regional care beds for seniors. This assumption is misinformed and does a disservice to the residents of Oak Bay and to those of us on Oak Bay council who voted against the variances. We found this one of the most challenging decisions in recent memory. One of the main factors that influenced our decision was the planning report, paid for by Baptist Housing and prepared by Focus Consulting – the results of which have been overlooked by letter writers and media reports. The report presents compelling

information critical of the Oak Bay Lodge proposal, concluding that it represented a system failure from a community planning perspective, and stating, “communities must develop and grow in a collaborative environment rather than reviewing single structures in isolation.” We relied heavily on this report for two reasons: local council members do not have planning expertise; and Oak Bay municipality has no qualified planner on staff. At no time did VIHA, the CRD or Baptist Housing collaborate with the community at large in planning this proposal; decisions were made and presented to municipal council and the community as a fait accompli. The Focus report also suggested

that the proposal was fraught with challenges and had potentially significant negative impacts on the neighbourhood. We also listened to the results of public feedback, as the majority of opinion agreed with the Focus report, that this proposal did not lend itself to the character of the community and did not fit with the surrounding neighbourhood. Oak Bay not only wants to provide quality public seniors’ care but also wants to work with VIHA and directly with seniors who we believe should have a voice in planning their future. We believe that we can do better than the “one size fits all” approach recently presented to us. Cairine Green and Tara Ney Oak Bay councillors

The letter about bee poop (Letters Aug. 8) got me into a chain of thought on the wider problem of our attitude to nature. I also own a car and, starting in spring, there is a rain of aphid poop from the oaks which forms a sticky coating compounded with a dusting of pollen. This annoys me – and don’t get me started about incontinent seagulls. I propose cutting down all oak trees to eliminate this problem. No, I am not serious, I’m just trying to point out that we are still in the mindset of the early European settlers to whom the wilderness was the enemy to be eliminated to create a congenial and profitable habitat. A common attitude is that people are free to worry about the environment or climate change, as long as they don’t interfere with my freedom to enjoy my life as I see fit. Unfortunately, as children have less and less contact with nature and get most of their information from screens, the above attitude is spreading. The concept that we are part of the environment and are now the controlling organism is lost. The above situation has never occurred before so we lack a political mechanism to take it into account. Science puzzles politicians. So thanks for the letter on bee poop, but over the centuries, modifying the environment for our immediate convenience has had disastrous results and will increasingly continue to do so. M.J.

First they were gifted with plans for a new building, a scenario that ensures the Gorge Waterway Nature House can stay open during the winter. Now, a grant for educational programming will help to ensure the structure, to be built in Esquimalt Gorge Park, has enough activity to warrant keeping the doors open throughout the school year.

has given the World Fisheries Trust – which operates the nature house – a $10,000 grant. “It will allow us to carry on the seaquariain-schools program with much more confidence, especially reaching inner-city schools that can’t afford it,” said the trust’s executive director Joachim Carolsfeld. “We’ve been struggling to keep it going,” he said, adding few funders see environmental education as important anymore. The education program teaches kids about local marine ecosystems. It installed

permanent seaquaria – equipment that can include an aquarium – in 35 schools and brings students from other schools to the centre on field trips. The grant money will be used, in part, to buy equipment for the Nature House. In June, the Vancouver Island Construction Association chose the nature house as its legacy project. The new building will be bigger and heated, allowing for year-round operation. When the Rotarians got the news, they invited Carolsfeld to submit his wish list

for programming. “We were so impressed with the wish list, we gave them more money than they even asked for,” said Maureen Duncan, representing the club. “We like to fund projects that benefit the whole community. I’m hoping it is going to put Esquimalt on the map for the Greater Victoria area.” The Rotary Club of Victoria-Harbourside has approximately 95 members.

Library app attracts new readers App offers simplified book searches and reviews Daniel Palmer News staff

The Greater Victoria Public Library is seeing a surge in online interest, after releasing a free app that lets users easily search for bestsellers and rare finds alike.

More than 600 people have downloaded the library’s mobile app, including 126 users in Europe, since its launch last month. “People can be in a bookstore in Paris, and if they see a book they like and want to get it when they come back to Victoria, they can just scan it and see if it’s here,” said Alyssa Polinsky, GVPL communications manager. Published books are equipped with unique barcodes that allow the app to easily search for titles, she said.

Perhaps the most appealing feature of the app is that it functions as a digital library card. “You can also place a hold on books, the same as you would on the website. … It shows me how many holds I have, whether I have fines, and uses GPS to find my nearest location,” said library IT manager Dan Phillips. To make the most of the app, users will need to have a library account, he said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Harbour authority takes on speeding taxis Daniel Palmer News staff

The 229 cruise ships docking at Ogden Point this summer may bring in enviable tourism dollars to Victoria, but the increased traffic also presents a major safety concern to surrounding residents. Each weekend, dozens of taxis funnel through the two-lane streets of James Bay, often prompting complaints about speeding. “They just go fast – really fast. They don’t yield to pedestrians,” said Rhonda Schilling, who criss-crosses Oswego Street each day as a Canada Post letter carrier. Reserve Const. John Varley voluntarily monitors traffic speeds across the city on behalf of Victoria police. “Several residents have come up and asked us to be (on Oswego Street) at the time the cruise ships come in, because the cabs are just notorious for flying through here,” he said. To appease humbugged residents, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority has teamed up with local taxi companies and VicPD to penalize leadfooted drivers. “The (taxi) permits now say, ‘if you are caught speeding, we will pull your (Ogden Point) pass for a period of time,’” said Curtis Grad, harbour authority president and CEO. “That’s something entirely new this year and it’s been a pretty effective tool and the

taxi management companies have been fully supportive of that.” The harbour authority uses two of its own speed monitors to keep track of taxis wanting to maximize on the more than 10,000 passengers and crew that arrive at Ogden Point between Thursday and Sunday in the summer months. In mid-June, VicPD started an education program with taxi drivers servicing the cruise ship terminal, about the same time complaints started coming in from area residents. “We will co-operate with them, we do worry about the safety of the people in the James Bay area,” said Surinder Kang, operations manager at Yellow Cabs. Kang said he was only aware of one driver who has had a permit suspension after being flagged for speeding, but said the program will likely continue in

the coming years. “It’s just like the police giving you a ticket. I hope it deters and the drivers co-operate,” he said. While Grad declined to give specifics on the number of penalized drivers, he said the perennial issue has been effectively reduced. “It’s fair to say it’s got the attention of the

drivers and the desired effect is there,” he said. Between May and October, 675,000 cruise ship passengers and crew will pass through Ogden Point. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Mind your knitting Preparations for 2012 Fibrations festival sewed up Kyle Wells News staff

It’s the only festival in Victoria that’s guaranteed to have you in stitches. This is the second year for the grassroots Fibrations fibre art festival, running Sunday, Aug. 19. It’s a gathering of fibre artists of all types to sell their products, talk shop with enthusiasts and fellow practitioners and give demonstrations illustrating the process behind the craft. Last year’s inaugural event was borne out of the sudden cancellation of the Victoria Fibre Festival. A group of fibre artists quickly stepped up to organize an event to replace it, with little time but lots of enthusiasm. “We had very little time, about a month,” co-organizer and Knotty By Nature fibre arts store co-owner Ryan Davis said. “It was really fun, we just all pulled together, did a bunch of work and made it happen. It went amazingly well. There was just a great amount of excitement about it.” This year’s event is capturing the same spirit, with all the organization done by volunteers and a focus on making it artistfriendly and widely inclusive. Costs for vendors are kept low and all the money raised, aside from money earned by the vendors,

goes right back into the event. “Last year it just had the best vibe in the air. … It was quite special,” Davis said. “A lot of people sold out of their stuff that they brought, so people were very excited about how well they did.” The cost to vendors to participate is a donation of a $35 retail value item that is then put up as a prize at the event in a toonie raffle. The money from the raffle pays for the event. The idea is to keep costs low and participation high so more people, including hobbyist fibre artists, can participate. About 35 vendors took part in last year’s event and this year organizers have already had to cut the registration off at 50 vendors. Davis said that if you can name a fibre art, it will be at the event. Woven, knit, needle-felted and other finished products will be in abundance. This includes practical items such as scarves and hats, but also more creative display works. Supplies will also be plentiful. Wool, knitting yarn and all the other tools of the trade needed for fibre art will be for sale. A couple of local hand-dyed knitting yarn producers will even be there selling products.

taugh him how to use a taught loom about eight years ago and he “took to it.” “It’s very meditative and relaxing and you make beautiful things,” Davis said. There are many reasons people take to fibre art, either producing it or enjoying the outcome. “It’s practical a lot of times. It’s art and it’s wearable at the same time, so that’s kind of nice,” Davis said. “What I love about fibre art is that it has an organic element to it, almost Don Denton/News staff like it’s a combination Ryan Davis, co-owner of Knotty by Nature fibre arts of control and chaos. juggles the details as one of the organizers of Fibrations, Because every fibre a festival celebrating fibre artists. behaves differently and they can interact with Food vendors will also be on-site, includeach other.” ing a merchant who sells knitting needleFibrations takes place in the St. Ann’s shaped chocolate.

Maria Manna, left, April Gislason and Maureen Washington are The Ladies of Gospel, who will perform at Hermann’s Jazz Club Aug. 19 as a fundraiser for Mercy Ships Canada.

Lord have mercy Joined voices are manna from heaven for charity Maria Manna, Maureen Washington and April Gislason will rock your soul with classic Soul Train and Motown Gospel in a fundraiser for Mercy Ships Canada this Sunday. Featuring Thomas Kinzel on piano, Joey Smith on bass and Damian Graham on drums, these great ladies of jazz are all accomplished singers and recording artists in their own right, and combined, they create a night to remember. Jazz lovers will delight in listening to these three extraordinary singers together on stage as they create an evening of music featuring some of jazz music’s most classic

ballads and standards. Manna exudes professional confidence and a magnetic charm that is woven into her performances, from swing to ballad and jazz, while Washington combines the sultry soulfulness of Etta James with the jazzpop flair of Holly Cole and Jann Arden. To top the group off, from a powerful ballad to hard-edge rock, Gislason can sing it all. Proceeds from the concert will go to Mercy Ships, which operates hospital ships serving some of the poorest developing nations of the world. The Africa Mercy is the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship, and is dedicated to the continent of Africa. Mercy Ships programs promote health by empowering developing nations and by meeting the urgent surgical needs of the world’s

forgotten poor. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has performed more than 61,000 lifechanging and life-saving operations such as cleft lip and palate repairs, cataract removals and lens implants, orthopaedic procedures, facial reconstruction and obstetric fistula repairs. It has treated more than 539,000 patients in village clinics and trained 5,770 local health-care teachers. Tickets for the Ladies of Gospel are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Registration deadline is Saturday Aug. 18. Tickets are available online at regimojo.com/registrations/68/ forms or call Hermann’s at 250388-9166. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For more information on Mercy Ships go to mercyships.ca. llavin@vicnews.com

Nomads ready for Canadian ultimate championships this week

verlooking View Street, Dave Pettenuzzo’s office is well-decorated with national and world championship trophies. The trophies belong to the Nomads. This week Pettenuzzo is strapping on the cleats one more time as his team, the reigning world-champion Nomads, is competing in the masters division (over-33) of the Canadian Ultimate Championships, which run Thursday to Sunday on the grounds of Landsdowne middle school, Topaz Park, St. Michaels University School and Royal Athletic Park. The 45-year-old has been playing ultimate Frisbee since 1990, and is a patriarch of the sport not just on his team, but in Victoria. “It’s been a long, long journey for the Nomads,” Pettenuzzo said. Ultimate tournaments allow a maximum of 28 players per roster, and the Nomads always fill the quota, he added. “Some are newer to the team, but most of the guys go way back to the early days in the 1990s. And it’s more than a team. We’ve truly evolved into a lifelong brotherhood.” Pettenuzzo joined the Nomads when he arrived here in 1993 and has since inherited a leading role with the team. He also founded the Victoria Ultimate Players Society, organizers of Victoria’s summer league, and current hosts for this Canadian Ultimate Championships. The tournament is especially big for the Nomads, winners of multiple national and world titles in the open and masters (over-33) divisions. In 1997 the Nomads placed seventh at nationals here in Victoria. The majority of the team pulled double-duty as hosts for that event. They’d like to win it here on their home turf, because if the Nomads have a home, it’s here. “We’re also getting older,” Pettenuzzo said. “When a player retires due to their age, we say ‘they’ve gone to pasture.’ I’ve been thinking about it myself. A few guys have been talking about it.” As a husband and a father to two boys, 12 and 8, it’s never easy for Pettenuzzo and the core of 20-odd teammates to get together for a tournament. But it’s about much more than that, he says. “From the time Dave Martin founded this team in 1990-91, it’s been a tribe mentality,” he said, “a special bond as brothers.”

Shamrocks back to Coquitlam tonight The Victoria Shamrocks came up with a crucial overtime win over the Coquitlam Adanacs on Sunday to even the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal playoff series at two games each. Corey Small scored his fourth and fifth goals of the game in overtime, and Mitch McLaren scored an empty netter as the Rocks won 11-8. It’s the Shamrocks’ first win in Coquitlam this season. Jeff Shattler ended the game with seven assists. The two teams played Game 5 in Victoria on Tuesday. Results were past press time. The Langley Thunder defeated the

Vikes go six for nine at Olympics A bronze medal for long-distance swimmer Richard Weinberger has the UVic Vikes looking sharp after six of its nine current and former athletes medalled at the 2012 Olympic Games. Weinberger placed third in the men's open water 10km marathon swim on Friday (Aug. 10). The 22-year-old finished in one hour, 50 minutes and 0.30 seconds, just 35 seconds back of goldmedal winner Oussama Mellouli (1:49:55.10) from Tunisia. Coincidentally, Mellouli had already won bronze in the men’s 1,500m freestyle, beaten by Vikes silver-medallist Ryan Cochrane. Vikes rowing alumni Doug Csima and Gabe Bergen of the men’s eight, and Darcy Marquardt and Rachelle Viinberg of the women’s eight, all won silver.

B.C. rugby teams in control at youth nationals

Bantam Whalers second in province

Castaway Wanderers player Jack Nyren helped B.C.’s top under-16 team win a national title 15-13 over Ontario. A second U16 team from B.C. won bronze. The finals were played in Sherbrooke, Que., on Sunday. “It’s a pretty great feeling to hold this trophy. This is my third national championship so this is pretty sweet,” Nyren said. B.C. also won the U18 boys title. James Bay’s Crosby Stewart and CW’s Fergus Hall, with coach Jeff Williams of James Bay, defeated the Alberta 40-16 in that final. sports@vicnews.com

The Westshore Whalers B2 team took silver at the recent bantam B provincial lacrosse championships.

Triplets Gerry, left, Myles and Leo Fitzgerald will play for the Victoria Grizzlies in 2012-13. Kyle Wells/News staff Boaz Jospeh/Black Press

Seeing triple Fitzgerald triplets traded to Grizzlies Kyle Wells News staff

They say good things come in threes and that's just what the Victoria Grizzlies are banking on with the Fitzgerald triplets. Identical triplets Myles, Leo and Gerry Fitzgerald all came to the Grizz from the Prince George Spruce Kings in a multiplayer deal that sent David London, Cam Lawson and Coltyn Hansen to Prince George. The move comes as the Grizzlies rebuild under the guidance of new general manager and head coach Bill Bestwick.

“Skill, finesse, heart, talent, determination are foundations and criteria that we take very seriously,” Bestwick said. “When we measure what these three players will bring us individually and collectively, they are three of the best ’93 birthdated players in the entire British Columbia Hockey League.” There were some laughs at the press conference announcing the acquisition as Bestwick, who coached the triplets before with the Nanaimo Clippers in the 2010-11 season, misidentified one of the identical siblings. Leo said that he and his brothers are excited to be joining what they see as the team to beat next season. “(Our team has) lots of speed,

lots of skill, we've got some gritty guys, we've got almost the whole package.” Inevitably, questions arose about the brothers abilities playing together on the ice. They brushed off references to the Sedin twins or if they had any sort of psychic connection to one another. “I get tired of it, but I understand why they ask,” Leo said. “We’re triplets, it’s pretty rare to be playing in Junior A as triplets. I think we’re probably the first.” Training camp for the Grizzlies begins Aug. 20 at Bear Mountain Arena, with an exhibition game at home on Friday, Aug. 24, against the Cowichan Capitals. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Stealing a championship Victoria Jr. Mariners baserunner Jesse Mycock makes it safely to second base as Dalton Anderson of the Coquitlam Reds fumbles the ball during the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League playoff game in Whalley on Sunday. Later that day Tanner Hess pitched all seven innings as the Mariners won 7-2 over the Abbotsford Cardinals in the championship final, giving the M’s the provincial title.

Devils ’96 silver at fastpitch nats The Victoria Devils ’96 lost 14-0 in the gold medal game to the Delta Heat in the girls under-16 Canadian fastpitch championships held in Brantford, Ont. on Sunday. Constant rain delays made scheduling difficult for the organizers, but the sun managed to appear for Sunday’s final, a rematch of the Heat’s recent win over the Devils in the U16 provincial final. The Devils had plenty of confidence going into the national final, having defeated the Heat in pool play on Saturday 7-3. But the Heat was too much, chasing pitcher Jasmine Strandlund in the second

inning, and scoring four runs in each of the first and second innings, and then six more in the third inning. Ashley Penney pitched five and two thirds innings with three strikeouts to help the Devils ’96 beat the Mississauga Tigers (Ont.) 4-2 on Sunday morning and qualify for the final. This week the Victoria Devils ’94 team opened the U18 Canadian Championships in Montreal with a pair of wins, 3-2 over the St. Albert Angels (Alta.) on Sunday and an 8-1 drubbing of the Regina Riot (Sask.) on Monday. sports@vicnews.com

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

Comedy for Cancer raises $5,000 for Tour de Rock Music and laughs to benefit pediatric cancer research Comedy lovers and music enthusiasts flocked to Club 9one9 at the Strathcona Hotel on July 31 for a terrific night of entertainment, all for a good cause. Comedy for Cancer, an event to support Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rider (and Black Press reporter) Kyle Slavin, raised $5,000 for the worthy cause. Tour de Rock raises money for pediatric cancer research and sup-

port programs like Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for kids with cancer. All acts that night provided topnotch entertainment. Thanks to Jason Lamb, Mike Delamont, Kirsten Van Ritzen, Wes Borg, Natalie North, Mike Edel, Kytami, Auto Jansz and Andrea June for their amazing, crowd-pleasing performances. Tour de Rock, now in its 15th year, is a two-week bike ride that sees

Performer Kytami. Photo Daniel Rochat

a select team of police ofﬁcers and reporters cycle more than 1,000 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria. This year’s Tour runs Sept. 22 to Oct. 5. With less than six week to go before the start of Tour, Kyle has raised half of his $15,000 fundraising goal. If you’re interested in donating to Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, visit www.is.gd/TourdeRock.
