VICTORIA NEWS - Wednesday, August 15, 2012

A migration in flux Roszan Holmen News staff

T

he feeder is hung and the netting looms, ready to drop on the unsuspecting.

Jessica Steele holds a string, keeping a watchful eye on the trap. Once a hummingbird stops for a drink of sugar water, she’ll pull the string, causing the net to fall and trap the palm-sized bird.

It’s mid-July, but late in the season, meaning only the juveniles are still hanging around their nesting area.

Mom and dad have already started their northward migration through the Rockies.

“I love the juveniles – they’re so clueless,” said Steele, a biology student at the University of Victoria. Recently, one little bird got caught in the same trap 17 times in one day.

Catching the birds, and marking them with a band in their first weeks of life, will allow the scientists who monitor them across North America to track the birds’ age as they mature.

Steele’s expedition to the Goldstream Hatchery is one of countless “banding” excursions that happen every summer.

Banders capture the birds and give them tiny numbered anklets, which serve as a unique identifier.

Unlike the Anna’s hummingbirds Victorians see year-round, the rufous are long-distance travellers. Despite weighing less than four grams, the little birds migrate every spring starting in Mexico and the Gulf states. They travel up the California coast before landing in our neck of the woods to breed. Some of the rufous travel even farther north – to Alaska – to nest.

“They follow a wave of flowering up

Jessica Steele captures a hummingbird against the side of a net that drops when the bird comes in to eat at the feeder. the coast,” said head bander, Alison Moran. “Can you imagine the distances involved?”

Moran is the leader of the hummingbird project, one of many studies undertaken by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory.

Launched in 1997, the project links dozens of certified hummingbird banders in Alberta and British Columbia.

Collectively, they put in thousands of unpaid hours trapping, measuring and monitoring hummingbirds. They also share information with other banding projects along the length of the birds’

migration route.

In Victoria, the rufous show up as early as late March and stay as late as mid-July.

“Hummingbirds are incredibly faithful to their route,” said Moran, who lives in Saanich. “I see the same bird at the same feeder, year after year after year, often on the same day or the same week. You can learn so much about population ecology because of this fidelity.”

This predictability can also prove to be bad news for the hummingbirds. If they’re delayed by a storm, or lose a feeding site due to development, it can throw them off course.

For these reasons, and many others, rufous populations have declined by an estimated 63 per cent in the past 40 years.

Last year, the situation worsened dramatically. The rufous simply didn’t show up as expected.

“I was waiting, waiting, waiting for them to turn up; my heart in my mouth,” Moran said.

While some banding sites reported normal numbers, other sites dropped from thousands of birds to mere tens.

Moran speculates last year’s sudden drop was due to bad weather. This year, the data has yet to be analyzed, but preliminary numbers show populations

have recovered somewhat.

“We were just hugely relieved,” she said, adding, however, that the migration route is in flux.

“The southern range of the rufous may be moving northward. We’re at the southern tip of the breeding range, (so) we also may be seeing that as part of the loss.”

Christina Lam is in her third year banding hummingbirds as a certified assistant with Rocky Point Bird Observatory.

Over the summer, she has led several expeditions to the Goldstream Hatchery, Francis King Regional Park, Sooke, Salt Spring Island and other sites in the Capital Regional District.

“When I first did it, I was so scared,” said Lam, a UVic graduate who trained under Moran. “It took me about 15 minutes to band a bird – embarrassingly slow.”

Since then, she’s banded hundreds of bird, to the point where her wellpractised hands now confidently manipulate the birds through the roughly two-minute procedure.

After Steele traps a bird, Lam takes over. Reaching her hand through a flap in the netting, she folds her fingers around the tiny body of the bird. It fits readily in her palm.

Once lying on its back, the bird lies totally motionless.

Lam wraps it in a tiny fabric straight jacket, fastened with a clip, which prevents it from flapping its wings. She measures the bird’s weight, the width of the legs and the length of its wings and beak. She also checks the chest feathers for parasites. Then she fits the bird with one of the 660 metal anklets she made by hand, each one inscribed with a number.

It’s jewelry for life, explains Moran.

“This is a critical project, because we are looking at a major decline and we’re trying to figure out what the heck’s going on,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is actually come up with scientific data upon which to base conservation decisions, so we’re not just waving our hands in the air.” rholmen@vicnews.com

A woman was struck and killed by a bus Monday morning as she crossed the street in a bmarked l/ crosswalk in downtown Victoria.

The 27-year-old woman was hit by a tour bus as it turned left from Humboldt Street onto Douglas Street, said Victoria police Const. Mike Russell. “It looks like she was crossing on a walk signal, that’s what the witness accounts state,” he said.

The driver of the tour bus was taken to VicPD

headquarters, while the four onboard passengers were interviewed as witnesses.

A pedestrian was last struck and killed at the same intersection in 1999, but it was under very different circumstances, Russell said.

“It was rainy, it was at night, it was a hitand-run, so it’s tough to draw any similarities between the two right now.”

The woman’s identity had not been released by police at press time.

This is Victoria and Esquimalt’s second traffic fatality of 2012. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Local cyclists carry a banner as they join a parade for cycling hero Ryder Hesjedal before a ceremony honouring Hesjedal and his accomplishments and declaring Friday, Aug. 10 as Ryder Hesjedal Day in the City of Victoria.

Victoria cyclist lauded by community with parade and special event Daniel Palmer News staff

Celebrity sightings are common occurrences in Victoria, a city known for letting stars relax and enjoy themselves in relative peace. But hometown heroes are a completely different story.

On Friday, cyclist Ryder Hesjedal returned to a city still basking in the glory of his Giro-d’Italia win, where he became the first Canadian to take top spot in a Grand Tour.

On Aug. 10, hundreds of fans lined Douglas Street and filled Centennial Square to

welcome back Hesjedal.

One enthusiastic cycling couple even honoured the athlete by naming their fiveweek-old son after him.

Mayor Dean Fortin declared Ryder Hesjedal Day in the City and unveiled custom-designed bike racks to honour the cyclist’s achievements.

“Ryder is a wonderful example of the passion and determination of our local athletes,” Fortin said in a statement. “I can’t think of a more fitting tribute.”

Hesjedal was visibly moved from the support, taking the time to speak with the crowd and to give back to local cyclists.

He presented Nigel Ellsay of Courtenay and Annie Ewart of Victoria with cheques through his organization Ryders Cycling Society of Canada.

“I want to be able to give back to the sport that has given me so much,” he said.

“To represent Canada internationally, I know how hard that is, and the sacrifices that you need to make along the way. I know every little bit helps in achieving your dream.”

Hesjedal’s next races will take place in Quebec City on Sept. 7 and Montreal on Sept. 9. dpalmer@vicnews.com

CRD eyes integrated cycling network Cycling is proving popular among local commuters, but a disjointed cycling network is keeping ridership low, according to a Capital Regional District report.

The Pedestrian and Cycling Masterplan cites ridership at nine per cent for some areas of the city, and at 3.2 per cent for Greater Victoria.

But an integrated cycling

network could boost numbers to 25 per cent in Victoria, the report states.

“The most important thing is to fix the gaps,” says Ryan Mijker, board member of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition. “If we look at the cycling network in Victoria, it’s fragmented at best.”

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

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.

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

CRD directors kept in check on sewage 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 Dermon, 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 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 snowremoval 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

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.

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

OPINION GUEST COMMENT

Coalition required to keep NDP down Frank Bucholtz Langley Times

There is a great deal of talk, particularly among B.C. Liberal supporters, about rebuilding the coalition of what is often called “the free enterprise vote.”

They are correct that it takes a coalition to keep the NDP out of office.

Recent polls show the NDP with 45 to 50 per cent support, which will give the party a huge majority in the next election, should those numbers hold. B.C. has had what in effect are free enterprise coalition governments since 1941, except when the coalitions fell apart.

The one notable exception was in 1952, when Social Credit came to power with 19 seats in a minority government.

The only reason it was elected was the presence of the transferable ballot, which the former coalition partners (Liberals and Conservatives) agreed on before exiting from an arrangement both were unhappy about.

It didn’t help them – it did lead to the beginning of a Social Credit dynasty.

Social Credit was the coalition vehicle from 1952 until 1991, but in 1972, it was challenged by rejuvenated Liberal and Conservative parties, with young, telegenic leaders who were a contrast to 72-year-old W.A.C. Bennett.

The NDP won with the four-way split of votes.

Grace McCarthy and the Majority Movement put Social Credit back together again, and it stayed that way until Bill Vander Zalm’s troubles caused many supporters to look elsewhere.

In 1991, they went to the Liberals, who won 17 seats with a minimalist campaign.

That made them the coalition party of choice, but it took a while.

In 1996, the remnant of the Socreds was

known as the B.C. Reform Party and its share of the vote meant the NDP won a second term, under Glen Clark.

The free enterprise coalition has a very slim chance to win the 2013 election, but only if all the following happen: 1. Christy Clark resigns ASAP. She simply can’t bring the coalition together; 2. All senior cabinet ministers closely identified with the Gordon Campbell government indicate they won’t run again.

This includes MLAs Rich Coleman and Mary Polak, as well as Mike de Jong, Shirley Bond, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and ex-minister Colin Hansen. It does not include Blair Lekstrom, the only Liberal MLA to take the correct stance on the HST. He resigned from cabinet and caucus because the cabinet wouldn’t agree to do more consultation. He is a man of principle; 3. A truly neutral third party, respected by all sides (and not part of the downtown Vancouver business community) negotiates with John Cummins and the Conservatives; 4. As a result, there is a merger agreement between the two parties and an open leadership race, with ongoing financial disclosures (during, not after the campaign) for all candidates. In addition, there must be no mass member sign-ups, agreed to in writing by all leadership candidates; 5. The new leader must have a clean track record and an ability to bring people together. She or he calls an inquiry into B.C. Rail; calls off liquor privatization; stops Hydro, MSP and ICBC rate hikes and opposes the Enbridge pipeline.

That could give the coalition a ghost of a chance.

Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times, a Black Press newspaper.

YOUR VIEW Taxpayers bear brunt of cost overruns Re: Cumulative expense overloading taxpayers (Letters, July 25) I agree with writer James McMillan. I have seen my city utility bills increase by about 11 per cent annually since 2007, with no corresponding increase in water consumption, etc.

Similarly, my property taxes have been going up in the same period by four to eight per cent per year.

Starting in 2013, Victoria city council plans to effectively cut garbage collection in half, but charge about the same price. Given past experiences, one can reasonably presume that any large project undertaken by council will have large cost overruns, which taxpayers will be on the hook for – including sewage treatment, the new bridge, LRT, etc.

This mayor and council have no idea how to keep costs under control, and presume that an infinite amount of taxes can be raised. Eventually, property owners will give up and move somewhere more reasonable.

Users must respect our back country This past weekend I was up in the hills after registering with the gate guard and following the rules to access the lake I wanted to fish.

After reaching the lake, I found a group of people who were camping on the far side of the lake.

For almost an hour while they were breaking camp, they had their ATVs, trail bikes with no mufflers, and trucks all running and revving.

When they finally left and it was quiet again, I happened to look over at where they were camping and saw smoke wafting up from a fire they left to smoulder out on its own.

After 10 trips from the lake with the bailing bucket of water to the fire they left on the ground (not in a pit or even ringed by stones), the logs were cooled down

enough that there wasn’t any chance of a forest fire.

On top of this, they left what would amount to three or four large garbage bags of garbage, cans, gun shells and broken glass.

After inquiring with the gate guards on our way out, they informed us that the campers had not checked in at the gate and had found a back way to the lake.

Acts like this are prime examples of why forest companies close the back country to campers, fishermen and ATVers.

If you want to be idiots in the back country, buy your own chunk of land and go hard.

But if it’s not yours and you’re trespassing to begin with, then respect the land, keep it clean and usable for other people and do it safely.

Darryl James Thompson, 47, of View Royal, faces charges of sexual interference with a minor after reports that three children were inappropriately touched at Esquimalt Recreation Centre over two days.

The View Royal man was arrested Thursday at the Esquimalt pool.

After a pair of incidents were reported late Wednesday, pool staff identified a potential suspect based on a general description. Staff witnessed what they felt was an inappropriate act and called police.

The man was removed from the pool area and was arrested around 2 p.m.

“Staff identified him, brought him out of the pool and contacted our people immediately,” said Insp. Keith Lindner of VicPD's West Division, adding he was impressed with staff response. “When they knew he was in the building they called us.”

The Thursday incident followed a report Wednesday (Aug. 8) evening when two children told parents after the outing that they’d been inappropriately touched.

The suspicions by staff arose the night before after parents called the recreation centre to report the incidents in the leisure pool, said Lindner.

A second child also reported being touched Wednesday.

Staff followed protocol under the circumstances, said Scott Hartman, Esquimalt director of parks and recreation services.

“We're trained in observing these things. It’s unfortunate that it happens, but all of our

staff are trained to respond accordingly around child protection,” he said. “Everyone, because of what happened last night … staff were extra diligent.”

Thompson was not known to police or on the Esquimalt recreation “watch list.”

Hartman said the suspect was not a rec centre member, but was a member of the Leisure Involvement For Everyone program, which provides discounted access to recreation facilities throughout the region.

Police are not releasing ages of the three children or details of the incidents.

“If there are other victims we want to speak to them,” Lindner said.

“When a kid has confidence in his or her mom or dad to go forward and say this is what happened, that’s huge … I commend all the parties involved.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Garden at Oak Bay United Church helps foster new relationships Brittany Lee News staff

H

aving a church in the community means more than just attending Sunday morning fellowship.

That’s according to a group of about a dozen members of the Oak Bay United Church who have been working on building a community garden at the church since last spring.

“We want to be clear that we’re a church in the community, and accordingly, it isn’t just all about coming to church on Sunday,” said Carol Martin, church administrator, who is also responsible for community development. “We have other things we can do and share.”

Staff and volunteers of the church hope that the garden will help build a sense of community within Oak Bay. “We know that when people work on projects (together), they form relationships and we think that the garden is a way of supporting these kinds of relationships,” Martin said.

The project is based on several partnerships involving volunteers from the community, including people from the church, youth, local artists, and charities that have donated to the garden.

The landscaping was done by Brenda Costanzo and Pauline Hubregtse, both trained landscape designers. Many of the native plants were donated to the church by local societies, such as the Native Plant Society, and private gardeners.

The church is also working with Habitat Acquisition Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting lands in the Capital Region.

“We’ve agreed to be pesticide free and to try to plant native plants that are good for the environment; and remove invasive species,” Martin said.

Martin estimates the project costs less than $2,000, including the cost of artists’ materials and honorariums.

“We haven’t spent a lot of money so far,” she said.

While volunteers have been working hard to remove invasive plants and weeds, and planting native plants in their place, Martin said the garden is “far from done.”

“I’m not feeling rushed because if we get the right engagement in the community, it will happen at the pace it should happen,” Martin said.

Many invasive plants and trees still need to be removed, CONTESTS NT N TE TES TEST EST ES ST S T PRODUCTS STORES FLYERS DEALS COUPONS OU O U UP PO P O BROCHU BRO BR B R ROCH ROC RO OCH OC O CHURES CHU CH C HU H URES CATAL CATALOGU OGUES ES CON CONTES TESTS TS PR PRODU ODUCTS CTS S STO ST STORE T TOR TO O ORES ORE OR RE RE ES S FLY F FL LYE LY ERS ER R RS SD DEALS DE ALS CO COUPO UPONS UPO NS BRO BROCHU CHURES CHU RES CA CATAL TA TAL ALOG AL OG GU UES ES

Emily Zabel, one of the lead project volunteers of the Oak Bay United Church community garden, looks to decide where to place one of the native plants in the permaculture garden. she said, noting that more volunteers are welcome.

“The garden was simply an overgrown, heavily weeded space full of invasive plants,” said Emily Zabel, one of the project leaders.

Zabel, a student in the restoration of natural systems program at the University of Victoria, is also working with a group of youth from the church to build a permaculture garden, which will consist of four to five garden beds.

Any vegetables or herbs that grow in the garden will be available for the public to use.

The permaculture garden is, however, only one of the additional projects sprouting from the garden. The garden will include a memorial rockery area, where people will be able to plant flowers or display small plaques in memory of loved ones.

There are also hopes for a walkway through the garden, connecting it to the Brighton Walkway, Martin said, noting it would allow easier access for people in wheelchairs.

A section at the back of the garden that is more naturally wooded and protected will also act as a more “contempla-

India Canada Cultural Association presents

tive” spot for people.

“Lots of people identify connections with nature as spiritual for them, they don’t think church, per se, they just think spiritual,” Martin said.

Another project that’s stemmed from the community garden is a mural painted by artists Quinn Gilgan and Justin Kaczmarek.

Gilgan and Kaczmarek collaborated to create a mural under the theme of wind, water, fire, and land, as well as union and togetherness.

“We felt that this was the most appropriate general theme to work under,” Kaczmarek said.

The wall that the mural was painted on had previously been covered in graffiti.

“We are hoping that people will come and enjoy the plants and mural, and maybe even use the site for picnics and weddings in the future,” Zabel said.

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.

SPORTS Seeking the ultimate pasture

Nomads ready for Canadian ultimate championships this week

O

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.

Dave Pettenuzzo is part of the Nomads, which started right here in Victoria. The team is known worldwide in the ultimate Frisbee community as Canadian and world champs.

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.

“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

Triplets Gerry, left, Myles and Leo Fitzgerald will play for the Victoria Grizzlies in 2012-13.

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

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

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.

B.C. to study online voting Tom Fletcher Black Press

It won’t happen in time for the provincial election next spring, but the B.C. government is moving ahead with Premier Christy Clark’s pledge to examine online voting at the local and provincial level.

Some municipalities have suggested modernizing elections to make voting more convenient, and reverse the recent trend to lower voter participation. Clark proposed the idea during last year’s B.C. Liberal leadership campaign.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that she has asked Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer to set up an expert panel to make recommendations.

Archer asked the government last year to give him authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting, and to consider extending voter registraKeith Archer tion to 16- and 17-year-olds, as has been done in Australia and some U.S. states.

During his leadership bid, Health Minister Mike de Jong proposed lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, to encourage younger people to get involved as part of their high school education.

Nola Western, deputy chief electoral officer at Elections B.C., said the panel will likely need until 2014 to recommend changes to the Election Act that would permit online voting. Independent experts on Internet security and electoral administration will be asked to serve on a committee chaired by Archer, with a first meeting expected by October.

Elections B.C. already has online voter registration, as well as data sharing with the federal voters’ list, ICBC and the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency, to keep the voters’ list up to date.

Western said online voting has been used in Halifax and Markham, Ont., but has not yet been tried at the provincial or federal level in Canada. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Gordie Scutt won the North American Junior Golf Championship at the age of 10 at Cedar Hill in 1990. He went on to a professional golf career.

Cedar Hill Golf Club celebrates 60 Natalie North News staff

Six decades ago, visitors to the Cedar Hill Golf Club could walk across the street to the pro shop, located within the club owner Lyle Barnes’ family home, and play a few slot machines – until police raided the pro shop and seized the slots.

The cops didn’t find one illegal machine, however. Lyle’s son Barney was a fan of the penny slot and had it hidden in his bedroom.

Barney, who later became the head greens superintendent for Cedar Hill golf course, hung on to that machine and brought it back to the club for the anniversary celebration last weekend.

“Cedar Hill is the story that won’t quit,” said Val Meiras, president of the Cedar Hill Golf Club.

“It’s been a challenging year, as Saanich closed down Cedar Hill restaurant. For us, we’ve been through clubhouses and managers and the club has continued; we’ve actually added 47 new members this year.”

More than 180 golfers celebrated the Cedar Hill Golf Club’s 60th birthday on Saturday with a tournament. A post-tournament reunion barbecue was held later in the day.

Guests received a copy of a book chronicling Cedar Hill Golf Club’s history, including details on the slot machine fiasco and Cedar Hill legends, such as junior champ and future pro golfer Gordie Scutt. The book, compiled by Aki Graber, has been in the works since the 50th anniversary of the club.

“There was a hurry to talk with the people who remember while they’re still here to tell us,” Meiras said. “(The club) does have a colourful history and people are very attached.” nnorth@saanichnews.com
