Mentors and apprentices The leaders of tomorrow get advice from established entrepreneurs Kyle Wells News staff

Kyle Wells/News staff

Former Olympic luge athlete Jeff Christie pitched an idea for a brewery focused on genuine lagers at the second annual Global Summit of Leaders, held Aug. 22 at Royal Roads University.

ou have a great idea for a business, you’ve got the knowhow to run it and you’re eager to get started.

But what do you need to do to make it happen?

That question was addressed at the second annual Global Summit of Leaders, held last Wednesday (Aug. 22) at Royal Roads University (RRU).

The summit brings together 100 CEOs, private equity investors and business leaders from five countries to teach young entrepreneurs.

Dean Lindal, League Financial Partners vice president of global business develop“People who are 15 ment, is an RRU commerce alumni and organizer of the event.

– Dean Lindal Among the many successful businesspeople that worked with students to educate and inspire were Jon Swartz, a technology reporter for USA Today, and Lori Stewart, who helped build eBay Canada.

One fun part of the summit was a Dragon’s Den style pitch session.

Five groups of RRU students and recent grads were given the opportunity to bring their business ideas to the pros to get advice and potentially make some important connections.

Among those pitching was ex-Olympic luge athlete Jeff Christie. A resident of Calgary, Christie is a recent RRU commerce grad and a two-time Olympian, having competed in both the Turin and Vancouver games.

Knowing that his career as an athlete has an endpoint, Christie has turned to his second love: beer.

Bear Mountain buzzing with honey Charla Huber

Did you know?

News staff

■ The average lifespan of a honey bee in the summer is about six weeks, though the queen can live several years.

■ When a queen bee gets weak, the other bees hatch a new queen who then kills the old queen.

■ Only female bees make honey. Male bees fertilize eggs and eat honey. In the winter the female bees cull the majority of the males to conserve honey.

T

homas Yesdresyski moves nonchalantly among thousands of bees zipping around him as he opens up their hive.

Without hesitation his steady hands pull out the honeycomb tray dripping with the thick, golden nectar.

This year marks the first big honey harvest at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa with about 500 pounds of the sticky sweetener.

“Last year was a build up year,” Yesdresyski said, noting only a small amount of honey was harvested. Not all the honey Charla Huber/News staff in the hives Thomas Yesdresyski is removed. pulls out a tray from a About 70 hive next to the kitchen. pounds of honey is needed by the hive to survive the winter.

“The bees cluster in the hive to stay warm and they eat honey,” Yesdresyski said, adding the bees only forage during the spring and summer. In warmer climates, such as South America, bees can forage all year round. The harvested honey is then used in the hotel kitchen to create honey ice cream, savoury sauces and salad dressings.

Charla Huber/News staff

Once the honey extractor separates the honey from the honeycomb, the sweet fluid is poured through a double filter before it is bottled.

“Once you start stealing honey the bees start to get more aggressive,” Yesdresyski said, as the Italian bees begun to swarm about while their honey was removed.

“But when you realize what they are all about they are actually kind of harmless.”

Yesdresyski is the restaurant’s sous

chef, but he doubles as a beekeeper.

The resort uses honey from three hives located on Bear Mountain. One hive is near the Westin and the other two are kept at Yesdresyski’s home at the base of the mountain.

Each hive has nearly 70,000 bees.

After collecting the honey trays, each weighing up to 10 pounds, Yesdresyski brings them into the kitchen and gets ready to extract the honey.

“We don’t use any heat here, it’s 100 per cent raw. The hottest the honey ever gets is in the hive from the sun,” Yesdresyski said.

In the kitchen Yesdresyski begins scrapping the trays with an uncapping fork, removing the beeswax and sealing in the golden goodness.

The uncapped trays are then placed in a spinning cylinder called a honey extractor. Using centrifugal force the honey is spun out of the tray, which preserves the honey comb allowing it to be returned to the hive.

“The bees put so much work into the honey comb and you want to respect that,” Yesdresyski said.

The honey is also for sale at the Westin at Bear Mountain. The honey is created from the flowers and plants the bees have foraged from within eight kilometers from the hives. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Region’s Greek Fest celebration widening its scope Brittany Lee News staff

You’ve still got time to feast on spanakopita, souvlaki and gyros.

This week’s Greek Fest, a free, familyfriendly event put on by the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society, features a variety of Mediterranean food, live music and folk dance.

But the festival isn’t just a celebration of Greek culture, it’s a celebration of community, according to one organizer.

“It’s not only Greek stuff,” said society vice-president Jim Koutougos. “We definitely celebrate the Greek culture, and in general Greekness, but we’ve actually created a little bit more of a multicultural festival.”

Now in its 11th year, the festival is based on the Greek tradition of philoxenia, or “love of strangers.” In Greek culture, neighbours often invite strangers or acquaintances to festivals and make them feel at home, Koutougos explained. “This is carrying on a tradition that you will find all

over Greece.”

The festival continues to grow. An estimated 30,000 people attended last year.

More seating and entertainment have been added this time around. Performances range from Spanish flamenco to Polynesian drumming.

“It’s more of a folk festival,” Koutougos said.

Also included are heritage exhibits, arts and crafts and face-painting. As well, dancers from Messologi, Greece are back in town to perform.

However, the main draw to the event, Koutougos said, is “tons of delicious authentic Greek food.”

“If you like that type of cuisine, there’s something that you’re not going to get at any Greek restaurant in town, and that’s the roast lamb.”

Greek Fest runs now through Monday (Sept. 3), from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. next to Commonwealth Place on Elk Lake Dr. For schedule and other information, visit www.greekfest.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

The annual influenza shot is made available around Thanksgiving each year, to prepare for a season that typically runs from late November until March. A new formulation is used each year to match the strains most likely to be circulating in North America during the winter.

Kendall said he doesn’t know why immunization rates for health-care workers have declined. But he cited persistent myths about hazards of contracting the flu from the vaccine or experiencing other adverse effects, which he said are very rare. “Some people believe they are healthy and don’t get influenza,” he said.

The Canadian Nursing Association, the College of Registered Nurses of B.C. and the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons all support vaccination for health care workers.

Victoria’s only mosque is nearly ready for its grand re-opening.

The Masjid Al-Iman mosque, located in the 2200block of Quadra St., is roughly 85 per cent complete and should be open by the end of October, said Ali Hamado, executive director and treasurer of the B.C. Muslim Association Victoria branch.

“When I first arrived in Victoria, we used to pray off a living room in a rented townhouse,” said Hamado, who moved from Syria in 1993. “The whole community is very excited to have a new mosque.”

The previous mosque, established in 1997, was comprised of two century-old buildings on the same site across from Crystal Pool. But with an estimated 1,200 Muslims in the Capital Region, the place of worship was overdue for an upgrade.

“We always wanted to rebuild the mosque,” said Hamado, also a student in social work at the University of Victoria. “The old buildings were really run down and didn’t accommodate the number of worshippers who come.”

Thanks to help from the 12 other B.C. Muslim Association chapters, the project is only $200,000 away from its $2.2 million fundraising goal. Hamado anticipates raising the remaining money in the next two months.

“It’s for the community, for Muslims and nonMuslims,” Hamado said, explaining the mosque will include a library and learning centre, ideal for many of the elementary school tours through the place of worship.

“We regularly have public schools call us to bring the children, so we can give them a brief introduction about Islam,” he said.

Weekly prayer services will still be held at various locations across the Capital Region, including UVic, where an estimated 250 international Muslim students attend each year.

Hamado hopes the opening of Masjid Al-Iman will be a celebration for the entire community.

“Everyone is welcome,” he said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Grant helps RRU campus safety By next March, Royal Roads University will be a little safer for people walking or driving on campus. The majority of a $2.7 million provincial grant announced Aug. 23 will go to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety at the school. That project is budgeted at $2.1 million. The money is a combination of a grant officially secured earlier this summer and funding allotted to the university annually. The school will also spend $350,000 to upgrade its fire alarm system. The rest of the grant is routine capital allocation from the province.

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow

Your School-age Child’s Eyes A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer.

The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches.

Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond.

Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together.

Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another.

Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly.

Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead.

Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together.

Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems.

Symptoms include: losing their place while reading; avoiding close work; holding reading material closer than normal; tending to rub their eyes often; complaining of headaches; turning or tilting head and appearing to use one eye only; making frequent transpositions of letters or words when reading or writing; omitting small words when reading; consistently performing below the level of their peer group.

Since vision changes can occur without anyone noticing, children should visit the Optometrist at least every two years. More frequent visits may be necessary if specific problems or risk factors exist.

The doctor can prescribe treatment if needed.

Remember, a school screening is not a substitute for a thorough eye examination.

Region wants help fighting invasion Homeowners asked to prevent spread of knotweed, which damages local ecosystems Kyle Wells News staff

It’s a quiet invasion but the Capital Regional District wants homeowners to be diligent in identifying and properly disposing of the invasive species knotweed.

The bamboo-like plant – in particular the Japanese, bohemian and giant varieties – is causing problems for waterways and other species of plants.

The plant, originally from Asia, is edible and has some medicinal properties. But it is listed by many countries as one of the worst invasive species. In B.C., knotweed is considered a priority for eradication.

“It’s a real vigorous one,” said City of Colwood parks manager Gordon Beauvillier, who is a member of the Captial Region Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP).

Last year, CRD parks work-

Did you know?

■ The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee classifies the various species of knotweed as species to be “contained,” meaning there are established infestations in the region that need to be contained before they spread.

Other plants in this category include diffuse knapweed, carpet burweed, yellow flag iris and Knotweed stems butterfly bush.

■ The next category, “control,” is for species with widespread infestations.

■ Plants in this category are typically only fought if they are threatening a conservation area. Included in this category are burdock species, English ivy, St. John’s wart, tansy ragwort, Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom.

Knotweed leaves ers tackled a patch on the Galloping Goose trail near Colwood Corners that had spread to about a six- to nine-metre square patch.

The biggest problems, said Beauvillier, are when residents grow the invasive species as an ornamental plant or simply don’t remove it properly.

“The stock and everything is very bamboo looking, it comes out with a nice, white flower,” Beauvillier said.

“Once you know what it is, it’s hard to confuse it with other things.”

The plant has hollow stems that can grow three to five metres tall. The leaves are heart-shaped and come to a pointed tip. In late summer, the plant flowers with small white clusters.

Despite its good looks, however, knotweed can cause serious problems.

“It absolutely takes over waterway ecosystems,” Beauvillier said. “It will destroy waterways, which will destroy the wildlife and the fish hab-

itat. It’ll clog waterways. It’s really bad. And it grows. It’s a vigorous grower and it’s extremely hard to get rid of.”

Disposal is at the heart of the problem. Knotweed is a tough plant. Beauvillier said there have been cases of the plants growing in landfills and it has also been known to grow through asphalt and concrete foundations.

For now, knotweed has mainly been kept to isolated patches on private properties. Some property owners are tackling the plant on their own, but Beauvillier said the Coastal Invasive Plant Com-

mittee, in partnership with CRISP, can help deal with infestations.

Knotweed needs to be disposed of properly or else it will grow back and spread.

“It’s the lack of information out there for people and the understanding of how bad it actually is that is really giving us a tough time,” Beauvillier said.

To report knotweed, call CRISP at 250-857-2472. For more information on the plant, visit www.coastalinvasiveplants.com. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Melting ice opens Northwest passage to adventurers Natalie North News staff

Richard Hudson sweeps his finger across a world map affixed to his tabletop and offers a quiet overview of the some-80,000 kilometres he sailed from France to Argentina to Canada and most recently, through the Northwest passage.

After four attempts, the computer systems administrator from Toronto became one of the small but growing number of mariners who have successfully navigated through the nearly 1,600 kilometre arctic archipelago.

“I was wondering if I could finally make it,” says Hudson, who arrived in Victoria this summer on his 15-metre sailboat, Issuma, after completing the passage in 2011 and wintering in Alaska.

“When there are some clouds, so it’s not shining horribly brightly, and when the wind is not very strong … when the waves aren’t very big, so you’re not worried about being blown out onto a rock – that’s a beautiful day on the water.”

According to Tony Soper, a British author and arctic expedition leader who tracks traffic through the passage, Issuma is the 151st boat through the Northwest passage. At roughly one-third less distance to Asia than via the Panama Canal, the passage has long been a desired route for shipping between Europe and Asia.

Before the year 2000, only a small number of icebreaker ships had been through the passage, but with climate change open-

Natalie North/News staff

Richard Hudson, on his sailboat Issuma, was the 151st person to sail through the fabled Northwest passage. ing up the channel for a longer period of each summer, the number of pleasure craft in the passage is on the rise, along with commercial vessels.

The Northern Canada Vessel Traffic Services Zone, or NORDREG, tracked 13 pleasure craft through the Northwest passage in 2011. In both 2009 and 2010, 11 small vessels made the trip and in 2008, NORDREG counted just six. Vessels under 300 gross tons, such as Issuma, aren’t required to file a trip plan and aren’t counted.

Hudson spent the majority of the 13-month trip with two other crew members before wintering for six months in Alaska, and, eventually landing at West Bay Marina in Esquimalt.

“It must have been amazingly challenging to even consider doing it,” WESTERN CANADA’S OLDEST CONTINUOUS AGRICULTURAL FAIR Proctor says of those early explorations. “It’s a harsh environment, very desolate.”

The Bluefin’s expedition went as planned for crew members. The experience isn’t comparable to that of mariners on smaller vessels in the passage, Proctor notes.

OUR VIEW

Savoie earned our respect Most Victorians put politics aside upon hearing of Victoria NDP MP Denise Savoie’s decision to step away from her position.

Citing a “health warning” from her physician, Savoie said last week she could no longer “represent her constituents to the standard they have come to expect.”

Reactions ranged from shock to sadness, and the consensus formed around the region was that Savoie leaves big shoes to fill.

With a career in politics running from her election as a Victoria councillor in 1999 to her rise as NDP MP in 2006 – a seat she held onto during two subsequent elections – Savoie earned a reputation as a steadfast representative.

Despite political barriers, Savoie helped bring millions of federal dollars to the region for the Johnson Street bridge and sewage treatment projects. She previously spearheaded many regional environmental and humanitarian projects, including the Galloping Goose Trail and regional housing trust.

That type of commitment and devotion to Greater Victoria citizens will be difficult to replace. Savoie’s “city council-style” politics will be missed. Her passion for bringing local concerns to federal ears made her stand out among her cohorts in the chamber.

As she steps down from her post this week, she will leave a legacy of championing cross-party co-operation and initiatives that helped lead the government toward integrating provincial and municipal policymaking.

Although Savoie would not speculate on her replacement, she is looking forward to a “pretty exciting” race for her seat.

Among the names of potential byelection candidates being tossed about in local pubs are Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin for the NDP, as well as 2011 federal election candidates Patrick Hunt of the Conservatives, former Oak Bay Mayor Christopher Causton for the Liberals and former Green Party candidate Jared Giesbrecht.

Anyone vying for the job will have to answer to Victoria residents and be able to speak clearly for them in Ottawa to earn the respect Savoie gained during her tenure in politics.

spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes.

Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive.

And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated.

There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders.

I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general.

Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

LETTERS Unification needed for emergency services

Protestors have right to spread message

Re: “Hectic afternoon for Colwood firefighters,” Aug. 22.

This article reinforces and demonstrates the logic of a single unified regional fire rescue response service.

A simultaneous brush fire and a separate serious head-on collision involving four cars required the combined resources and the working together of the Colwood and View Royal fire departments, along with Saanich dispatch.

This begs the question: why does the Greater Victoria region, with only 345,000 residents, have 13 municipalities, 13 mayors, 13 councils, 13 fire departments and 13 fire chiefs, many of them competing and even hostile with one another?

Logic suggests if all or some of the 13 departments were combined there would be better use of resources, better overall planning and better co-ordination, which would produce better services at a more reasonable cost to the region’s residents and businesses.

This unification is crucial for the proper response to a major disaster, natural or otherwise. Such a disaster will affect the whole region and will require a regional response with prior regional planning and preparation.

A good start toward this regional unification would be the creation of one regional fire rescue department. The value of this is demonstrated in the quoted Aug. 22 article which indicates the logic and necessity of a single unified West Shore fire rescue department.

Frank Blundell View Royal

Just because you do not like the message of the prolife vigil protester does not mean protesting is causing a disturbance.

They are practising a constitutional right. The constitution does not include your right to not be offended by their message.

Janice Roberts’ claim that it is time they went away because she feels they made their point is rubbish.

The constitution does not put limits on how long people can exercise their right to protest just because other people think enough is enough.

Another resident seems to have a crazy idea that a small band of protesters is the whole world and that being only six metres away is trying to peer in on people’s private lives. Ever heard of curtains?

If you hate the right to protest so much get out of the country.

Enough with the free roadside eyesores The constant roadside “free” matresses, couchs, Christmas trees (yes I did see one on Metchosin Road) and general junk is an eyesore and really gets me steaming.

I am guilty of having put something at the end of my driveway with a free sign on it, but it was gone that day, within an hour.

I wouldn’t have dreamed of leaving it out there for days at a time for my neighbours to look at.

It doesn’t bode well for homeowners who are listing their property or perspective

homeowners who are viewing properties in the area of these rural dumps.

I often wonder: are these people just too lazy to take it to the dump, or do they really think that someone will drive by, see the couch with ripped up cushions and stop and load it into their truck? I say give it a day. If it isn’t gone, for goodness sake haul it.

Helen Cashin Colwood

Rowing facility vote was lost opportunity It sounds as though people are jealous of private school students or don’t want their idyllic waterfront privacy disturbed; that is, until it came time to cash in, subdivide the old farm and get out.

I am not a waterfront property owner, but I live within 100 feet of the lake, overlooking the lake, and have done so for 24 years.

I find it odd I wasn’t surveyed. I have a feeling that waterfront property owners were surveyed. Can’t blame them for not wanting to share.

There are no people out there floating around on tubes. Years go by without me seeing a sailboat, and only a handful of swimmers use the deep part of the lake.

There’s maybe a half dozen tiny fishing boats on the lake on a busy day.

No one swims out in the open in the shallow part with the creepy weeds grabbing at their ankles. And fish hang around the edges of the lake, where the shelter and food is, not out where the rowing lanes would be.

Power boats aren’t allowed and it isn’t a bird sanctuary.

What better place? Don’t want to use parkland? There’s

lots of waterfront private property that could be redeveloped at the St. Michaels University’s expense.

The taxpayers have shelled out for a trail around the lake, fishing piers, dedicated parking, a lighted crosswalk, landscaped swimming beaches and a new $250,000 aerator. I’m shocked that Langford council, is letting a special interest group dictate the use of a community asset such as Langford Lake.

What we have here is a proposal to make rowing available to the public at no cost.

I think it’s a real shame to let this go. Especially for reasons of narrow self interest and class jealousy.

Student groups rally behind CRD on transit UVic and Camosun student societies see local control of bus system as best option

More hours to reduce pass-ups ■ B.C. Transit is adding 5,000 service hours to better serve University of Victoria and Camosun College students who have been impacted by high demand and crowded buses. The changes take effect Sept. 4.

■ The Victoria Regional Transit Commission voted to reinstate the 7,000 service hours that were cut last year. Of that, 2,000 hours will be for handyDART runs. The remaining 5,000 hours will be targeted to beef up the capital’s most populated routes, No. 4 UVic/ Hillside, No. 11 UVic/Tillicum, No. 14 Vic General/UVIC via Richmond, No. 21 Interurban, No. 25 Maplewood/Admirals Walk and No. 26 Dockyard/UVic. ■ Not only will there be extra runs Monday through Friday, there will also be overload buses in strategic locations to respond midrun when buses are at capacity.

■ For full details, visit www.bctransit.com/ regions/vic/.

Daniel Palmer News staff

Greater Victoria students are throwing their support behind the region’s municipalities who want greater control over B.C. Transit.

Both the University of Victoria and Camosun College student societies are urging B.C. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom to give the Capital Regional District control of transportation planning.

“The biggest issue facing students in the transit system is students being left behind on buses both on and off campus,” said Lucia Orser, UVSS director of external relations.

Lekstrom appointed a review panel in March after complaints that the provincially appointed B.C. Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities, whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service.

He has promised to respond to the recommendations of the panel during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September.

“The CRD has the ability to raise revenues other than from property taxes and fares, which is the (revenue) system B.C. Transit operates on,” said Madeline Keller-MacLeod, Camosun’s student society spokesperson.

Bus pass-ups are still commonplace for more than 30,000 UVic and Camosun students that commute each day to and from campus, she said. “It’s not just during peak hours, it’s throughout the day as well.”

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard has publicly stated the pooling of transportation budgets for

integrated planning is the eventual goal of the CRD, a process that could take two years to complete. “If the province gives the CRD transit, that’s the first step,” he said.

Orser said environmental factors also weigh heavily on the student unions’ decision to support CRD control of transit planning.

“Transportation accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gases emitted in the Capital Region,” she said.

“If we are serious about transitioning off fossil fuels, we need to create local, livable communities that promote active transportation options such as walking, cycling and public transit.”

Keller-MacLeod said both student unions have requested a meeting with Lekstrom to express their support. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Smell gas?

Get out, then call:

West Shore RCMP shut down the Malahat for just under an hour last Wednesday afternoon, in part out of concerns that toxic materials had been disturbed.

At about 3:30 p.m., a truck crashed into the centre median at what is commonly referred to as “suicide corner.”

The truck was headed southbound towards Victoria when the driver lost control due to what RCMP would only describe as a “medical issue.”

The crash happened on a corner near the south end of Goldstream Park.

The driver apparently lost consciousness and does not remember crashing. When he came to, his truck was on top of a concrete “no-post” barrier in the centre of the highway.

The driver woke up lying on the truck’s seat at an angle.

Another motorist opened the truck door and the man was still lying there. Aside from being shaken up by the collision, the driver had no major injuries, police reported.

Once the vehicle was removed, a representative of the company that maintains the road was on site, warning RCMP that the destroyed median could contain asbestos.

The barriers are designed to break apart to absorb some of the impact from a collision. Older types, such as the one the truck crashed into, sometimes contained the toxic material.

The highway stayed closed until the RCMP determined there was no asbestos. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Toopy and Binoo bring theatre to tots Live action, animation and giant screens add to colourful production Charla Huber News staff

Toopy and Binoo are coming to town. If you are are wondering who they are, just ask a toddler.

The mouse Toopy and his toy cat stuffed animal Binoo, household favourites on the small screen, are coming to life at the Royal Theatre, Sept. 16 for the show Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon.

Creating a stage play from an animated television program had its challenges for Patti Caplette, the show’s writer, director and choreographer.

“We want people to expect a very imaginative, goofy and fast-paced show,” Caplette said. “Of course, the show will have the look and feel of animation and we are very aware of colour and texture to make them identifiable.”

Toopy and Binoo travel with their imaginations to various lands and go on many journeys together in their animated series shown on Treehouse TV. In Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow

The popular television characters Toopy and Binoo are hitting the stage at the Royal Theatre, Sept. 16, for Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon.

Moon, Toopy sets out to find the perfect song for the show. But finding the perfect song to sing to the children is only half the

battle because he also has to search for the perfect place to sing it.

On his search, with Binoo of course, the

lovable pair run into a blue cat blues band, a crooner fish, some adorable sheep, a pair of love struck dragons and many other crazy musical characters.

“Toopy can open the door and go into any land,” said Caplette, adding that animation and giant screens are “We want to incorporated into the show. “One see grown-ups minute they are standing up and under the sea and the next they are up dancing.” in space.”

- Patti Caplette The show, which combines music, theatre, dance, puppetry and innovative multimedia technology should be a hit with the tots, but is written for members of the whole family to enjoy – including parents.

“I always produce our shows for people two to 92 (years old),” Caplette said. “We want to see grown-ups standing up and dancing. Come and let your hair down.”

The show runs 60 minutes with an intermission.

Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon is at the Royal Theatre, Sept. 16 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Shakespeare with a view Daniel Palmer News staff

For those who didn’t get their outdoor iambic fill this summer, another Shakespeare play is popping up along Dallas Road.

Shakespeare by the Sea is staging A Midsummer Night’s Dream nightly at 7 p.m. until Sept. 2 at Holland Point Park, in a relaxed and intimate setting for 100 guests

each night.

“There is no Bard on the Beach here yet, but we’re going to be it,” said director Robert Light, who already has plans to expand to two plays next summer.

“You look out onto the Juan de Fuca and Olympic mountains; it’s the perfect backdrop,” he said.

As part of the process, the organization is holding a twoweek education program for young actors, ages 8 to 12 as

well as 13 to 19, to teach the essentials of Shakespearean acting.

Students will then appear onstage as fairies and elves in the Sept. 1 and 2 performances.

The 20-actor playbill is made up of local professional and community actors, including UVic acting students, who have been rehearsing for the past two and a half months.

Light, who has been

involved in more than 80 plays in his career, said the success of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will see it return next year, along with a tragedy like Macbeth.

“This is a very educated and artistic city. We know the audience is there and they want to see our show,” he said.

Teenage

agenda A look inside Victoria Royals rookie camp Travis Paterson News staff

Wearing baby blue socks, Brandon Fushimi stood out among the rest during Team Campos’ debut on the first day of Victoria Royals rookie camp last week.

Fushimi, 16, is a return invite from last year’s camp.

It wasn’t the socks that got him noticed, but it was easy to spot the right winger as he and centreman Tyler Soy, the Royals top draft pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft, found early chemistry.

The duo showed exemplary poise and skill as the banged home three goals in the second half of their first game, each off a passing play with each other.

Along with speedy defenceman Jack Walker, they led the team to first place at the Rookie Camp, winning the Marty the Marmot Cup. Tracking 148 players on eight teams may seem daunting for head coach Dave Lowry. The new boss had plenty of help in assess-

ing the promising talent of last week’s rookie camp.

But there’s no denying the magnitude of the four-day tournament which, for many players and families who made the trek to Victoria, was an introduction to the Western Hockey League.

For regular fans who showed up to watch, it can be little more than a messy game of awkward 15- and 16-year-old teenage boys spinning out of control in an effort trying to impress the Royals brass.

Players are adjusting to growth spurts and their play can vary from spastic and awful to slick and impressive on the same shift.

“And that’s just it,” said Royals general manager Cam Hope, who was previously with the New York Rangers. “At an NHL rookie camp guys come in with a lot of energy but they’re fully grown and well aware of themselves – their skills are developed.”

With 15-year-olds and even 16-year-olds, he said, there is a graceful allowance of error built into each player’s assessment. It’s more about what they show in terms of skill and potential. Intangibles are noted while mistakes,

Don Denton/News staff

Brandon Fushimi, No. 16, of Team Campos steps onto the ice to face and Team Grant during the second day of Victoria Royals rookie camp on Friday. for the most part, are not. But with 148 players, including two dozen or so top-end bantam draft picks swallowing up the bulk of the attention, players need to do something to stand out.

And that’s why Lowry relies heavily on help from the entire front office of assistant coaches Enio Sacilotto, Ben Cooper and Geoff Grimwood, goalie coach Brady Robinson, director of player personnel Grant Armstrong, and head scout Garry Pochipinski.

Throw in a dozen more community coaches brought in by Grimwood to oversee all eight teams, allowing Lowry and company to hold a birds-eye view from the press box. Not to mention the team has

a whole whack of scouts, 18 in all.

They aren’t all here, but they have a vested interest, as they’re the ones responsible for inviting the players in the first place.

Only 12 to 24 players actually moved from rookie camp to main camp this week, many of them draftees, only a few of which will actually play with the Royals this year.

“We have a pretty good idea who will get first crack at gametime this year,” Lowry said.

The most important factor for the 16-year-olds is improving their stock on the team’s depth chart.

For the non-drafted 15-year-olds, it’s getting that all-important invite back for 2013.

“With rookie camp we can’t talk much with every player,” Lowry said, “but we can try to answer any questions they have.”

So who organizes the camp, its 148 wide-eyed players and 300 equally wide-eyed parents?

“It’s probably the busiest week of the year for hockey operations and communications guys Corey St. Laurent and Jeff Harris,” Hope said.

Upwards of 100 players played in main camp beginning on Monday (Aug. 27), whittled down to two teams for Wednesday night’s National Bank Intersquad Game, 7 p.m. at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. sports@vicnews.com

Royals unite Walker brothers Top U.S.A. prospect joins Royals Travis Paterson News staff

The Victoria Royals have added a second Walker to the roster.

Jack Walker, 16, has joined elder brother Ben, 19, in pursuit of a career in the Western Hockey League.

Though Ben was the first to join the team when he made his debut part-way through last season, it was Jack who initially caught the Royals’ attention.

In January, Jack represented his country at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Austria and last month he played for Team U.S.A. at the Under-17 Five Nations tournament in the Czech Republic, where he helped his team win gold. “(The Royals) contacted me first,” Jack said on Thursday.

“My mom wasn’t all that fired up about giving a college scholarship.”

– Jack Walker When you’re from Edina, Minn., the NCAA is kind of a big deal. Giving up your chance to play in Div. 1 hockey is a decision the whole community notices.

“It took my brother going to the WHL to change things, and convince my family that this is the right path for me. I have an agent who had a couple of NCAA schools interested in me, and my mom wasn’t all that fired up about giving up a college scholarship.”

By signing to the Royals, Jack, like Ben, has waved his NCAA eligibility, even though Jack has yet to make the team.

The minor stipend of less than $100 per

week gives him professional status in the NCAA’s eyes.

Right from the start, Walker is being compared to fellow 16-year-old Joe Hicketts, the Royals top draft pick from the 2011 WHL bantam draft.

“Getting Jack is like having two first round draft picks from 2011,” said general manager Cam Hope.

With the likes of Hicketts and sizeable defencemen Keegan Kanzig, 17, and Chaz Reddekopp, 15, the Royals are stocked with blue chip prospects on defence for the next few years, Hope said.

Both Jack Walker and Hicketts are slightly on the smaller side but have explosive speed and are offensively gifted, projected as puck-moving, powerplay quarterbacks.

Hicketts may hold a slight edge in making the team this year, while Jack might have to wait another year before joining Ben as a WHLer. sports@vicnews.com
