Embracing your inner child Nostalgia drives popular toy and hobby show

Bus strike looms for region

Edward Hill

Drivers could walk off the job Tuesday

News staff

Back in 1982 when a kid in Victoria tore open packaging for a Star Wars action figure and promptly lost the small bits behind the couch, the idea that Han Solo would become collectible and valuable never entered into the equation.

What were toys of long-ago childhoods are now trophies of the modern hobby collector.

Bragging rights and prestige goes to the guy with a 1970s GI Joe kung-fu grip in mint condition, obscure Hot Wheels cars, or discontinued Lego bits.

All that is vintage, rare, nostalgic and collectible in the wide world of geek-dom – think Big Bang Theory in real life – will be found at Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair at Pearkes Arena on Sunday.

“People get to relive their childhood on their own terms,” says Candice Woodward, who organizes the show and owns Cherry Bomb Toys in downtown Victoria with her husband Biagio.

“There’s such a big range of toys – there’s something for everybody,” including shooting volunteer zombies with Nerf guns.

Geared at kids, families, model builders, collectors and those seeking to revisit their youth, the show promises 200 tables of old and new toys, models, trains, comic books, dolls, Lego, Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, superheroes, diecast cars and vinyl records.

If there was a popular (or

designed to chop Barbie’s market share. Then Star Wars blew them out of the water.

“GI Joes made possible the action figure. Boys would not play with dolls, so Hasbro made the action figure,” Biagio says. “It was huge. They had to do something to compete with Barbie.”

Bus drivers in Greater Victoria have scrapped their uniforms in favour of street clothes as part of a pressure tactic against B.C. Transit management.

“We’re trying to do everything we can without disrupting service,” said Ben Williams, president of the Canadian Auto Workers local 333, which sanctioned the uniform ban. “We’re not getting their attention.”

The drivers’ job action will escalate by Tuesday if B.C. Transit does not return to the negotiating table by that time, Williams said. “It will affect the commuting public.”

More than 650 bus drivers, skilled trades and maintenance workers in Greater Victoria issued strike notice last Friday.

The two sides remain at an impasse over wage increases and benefits, which are not in line with the B.C. government’s net zero mandate, said Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton.

“We asked the bargaining committee to go and speak to other unions. There seems to be a lack of understanding about what the co-operative gains mandate is,” she said.

The negotiating mandate requires unions to offset any wage increases with cost savings and productivity gains in other areas.

Both the B.C. Nurses Union and B.C. Government Employees Union have come to tentative contract agreements under the mandate.

The collectors and hobbyist demographic tends to skew toward males in their 30s, but as Candice points out, plenty of women collect vintage toys – a group of hard-core Barbie collectors should be on hand.

“Collectors want to get stuff they didn’t have as kids.”

Candice herself is keen on collecting Transformers action figures from the 1980s, and vintage robots. Biagio keeps his eye out for vintage GI Joes and is a standing expert on their history and trivia: the original 1960s GI Joe looks like John F. Kennedy; the 1970s oil embargo shrunk it down to size; and the kung-fu grip was

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Surrey woman leaps from stolen car A woman in a stolen car sped away from police on Saturday, but ended up leaping from the moving vehicle near Tillicum Centre.

Saanich police traffic officers zeroed in on the car after the automatic licence plate reader reported that it was stolen a few days earlier out of Surrey.

A patrol officer pulled the car over in the 3200-block of Douglas St. (near the area of Tolmie Avenue) at 10 a.m., but the lone female driver soon sped off at high speed.

Not long after, 911 calls poured in from witnesses reporting a car driving dangerously. Officers found it smashed against a wall at the Pearkes Recreation Centre.

Witnesses told police the woman jumped from the car as it was moving, before it struck the building. The recreation centre didn’t suffer serious damage and the woman wasn’t injured.

Police arrested a 27-yearold woman from Surrey, who faces charges of dangerous driving, escaping custody, possession of stolen property and failing to stop for police.

Gas leak clears McKenzie townhomes Residents in the 1400block of McKenzie Ave. spent part of their Sunday night outside or in a transit bus due to a large natural gas leak.

Nine firefighters from the Saanich fire department systematically evacuated the townhouse complex after 8:30 p.m. after discovering a “significant” natural gas meter leak.

B.C. Transit brought in a bus shelter for residents and police shut down McKenzie Avenue near Braefoot Park for about one hour, while Fortis crews controlled the leak and fire crews prepared fire protection. It’s unclear what caused the leak.

Kitchen fire damages townhome Saanich firefighters contained a kitchen fire at a townhouse complex Saturday night in the 2900 block of Harriet Rd. The fire department responded to the 10:50 p.m. callout with 19 firefighters in two engines and two ladders, a tanker truck and a rescue truck.

The crew found the fire in a second floor unit and quickly had it under control and contained to the kitchen.

The occupants had safely fled the townhouse and no injuries were reported. The unit and contents suffered about $60,000 worth of damage.

Work begins on first rental units in 25 years Three generations of family break ground on site at Tillicum, Burnside Natalie North News staff

By this time next year, tenants should be moving into the first privately owned purpose-built rental buildings in Saanich in a quarter century.

Three generations of the Yakimovich family, owner-operators of EY Properties Ltd., returned to the site of their former offices, where, after three years of planning, they finally broke ground on Herons Landing and The Ardea.

The two six-storey buildings, located at the corner of Burnside and Tillicum Roads, will offer 104 bachelor, one, two and three bedroom rental units, ranging in price from $775 to $1,700.

“This is important that we get something going. Nothing’s really happened here in 25 years and I’m really hoping that this one development will kick start others in the area,” said Paul Gerrard, a Saanich councillor and Gorge-Tillicum resident. “We’ve got the mall, services, doctors, the rec centre, fantastic bus routes. This is obviously the best place for densification.”

Company president, Ernie Yakimovich, alongside his mother, 88-year-old Olga Yakimovich, cofounder of George Yakimovich and Son, the precursor to EY, exuded enthusiasm over the much-anticipated start of the project and didn’t rule out the possibility of another new rental development, should economic conditions allow.

“We’re looking at this one step at a time,” Ernie Yakimovich said.

“It could be dependant on government regulation or government policy in that they’re talking about it finally after 25 years.”

The “it” Ernie Yakimovich was

Family owners/operators of EY Properties came out to break ground on Saanich’s first purpose-built rental housing project in 25 years, at the corner of Tillicum and Burnside roads on Tuesday. From left, family matriarch Olga Yakimovich stands alongside her daughter-in-law and company co-owner, Yvonne Yakimovich, wife of company president Ernie Yakimovich, followed by Kerry Yakimovich who’s married to project co-ordinator Doug Yakimovich, and his sister, property manager Angela Oakley and her husband Doug Oakley. referring to is the capital gains taxation, which requires rental unit owners who sell to pay 50 per cent of the increased value of the property, and the lack of a rollover tax option for building owners selling properties in order to reinvest.

The tax regime on rental buildings – not to mention ongoing upkeep costs – has created a disincentive to build new rentals, and an incentive for developers to build condos.

The family has been open about the factors that allowed the project to move forward, despite the current challenges of building new rental stock.

Working on a site the company

already owns and seeing the change in B.C. Building Code in 2009 to allow for six storey wood frame residential construction, as opposed to the previous fourstorey limit, rendered the project financially viable.

“It’s been a long process and we’ve done a lot of work between ourselves and our consultants, the community and the municipality, to come up with the right building concept,” Ernie Yakimovich said.

“I’m excited to be able to be able to produce this quality of rental building in this location.”

EY has the set standard of achieving at least a Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Envi-

ronmental Design) rating, yet the company is more likely to achieve platinum standards on the project, through details such as common areas are powered by LED technology, exterior insulation, higher efficiency windows, energy star appliances and air to water heat pumps, said Doug Yakimovich, project co-ordinator.

The higher efficiency standards will come at an initial investment of approximately $400,000 to $500,000 more than standard construction and are expected to yield a 60 per cent energy savings.

Farmer Construction Ltd. has been hired for the contract. nnorth@saanichnews.com

$400K in losses during Cadboro Bay blaze A well-known Saanich artist was treated for smoke inhalation last week, following an afternoon house fire that left hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to his home and art.

At 2:30 p.m. Oct. 4, the Saanich Fire Department responded to a fire on Vista Bay Road, where heavy black smoke was emanating from the ground floor and upper windows of the home of painter Paul Hutner.

A crew of 20 firefighters began salvaging his work while extinguishing the blaze.

“He tried initially to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher, then a garden hose,” said Saanich fire Capt. Rich Pala. “When he put the water on the fire, it darkened it right down, put the smoke right down, and that’s when he decided it was time to get out.”

The trial of a former priest charged with molesting children will start next week if the case can move past a number of procedural hurdles.

Philip Jacobs, 62, appeared in Victoria Supreme Court this week, charged with sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference of a person under 14 and touching a young person for a sexual purpose.

The charges involve three

pital for treatment of smoke inhalation and shock.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined, but investigators are confident it was accidental. Damage is estimated to be approximately $400,000 to the structure and its contents.

Jacobs was arrested Aug. 4, 2010 and released on $25,000 bail.

Jacobs served as a parish priest at St. Joseph the Worker on Burnside Road West from 1998 to 2002.

Prior to that he worked part-time from 1996 to 1998 at St. Rose of Lima in Sooke. In the early 1990s he worked as a priest in Colom-

bus, Ohio, and faced similar allegations that never went to court.

On Wednesday after the News’ deadline, the trial judge was expected to rule on a number of issues regarding disclosure of specific evidence documents.

The trial will proceed with a voir dire – an examination for the admissibility of certain evidence – possibly today, before the actual trial begins. editor@saanichnews.com

An Island too far, an arena too small?

Region guesses at reasons for losing Juno Awards bid Roszan Holmen News staff

Kyara Kahakauwila has her suspicions about why Victoria lost its bid to host the 2014 Juno Awards to Winnipeg.

“It’s frustrating, as a committee member putting in two years,” said Kahakauwila, vice-president of the Capital Region Music Awards Society, which submitted the bid.

Late last week, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences was keeping tight-lipped about its reasoning.

Kahakauwila, however, suspects that two factors may have contributed to the academy’s decision.

“One, we’re on an island,” she said, citing a perception of an added difficulty and expense to cross the water.

“The fact that they didn’t come out here to do a site visit was really disappointing for us, because any concerns that they may have had, particularly with regard to travel, could have been waylaid.”

Second, Kahakauwila admitted

that the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre is smaller than most venues that have hosted the Juno Awards.

In counter to those possible concerns, she noted St. John’s twice hosted the Junos despite being across the water and having an arena of a similar size.

Academy president Melanie Berry said in a statement that the board of directors balanced all “relevant and collateral factors” in coming to its decision.

“While each bid remains confidential, Victoria put in an excellent bid package, but was not the winning bid to host the 2014 Juno Awards,” said Berry.

The Capital Region Music Awards Society will decide whether or not to resubmit its bid for 2015 after getting a better sense for why it lost the bid this year.

“All the groundwork (for the bid) is already done,” Kahakauwila said, adding the board is grateful for the financial commitment from the province and most municipalities in the region.

“Everyone thought this was a great idea. The interest and the need are still there.”

Winnipeg hosted the Junos in 2005.

It will host the 2014 awards on March 30. rholmen@vicnews.com

Construction of Greater Victoria’s first “passive house” has begun on Oak Crest Drive, a home that promises to set high standards for energy efficiency.

The project broke ground Sept. 24 after much resistance from area residents, who were vehemently against the previously proposed duplex – a plan that they felt would set a dangerous precedence and open the door monster homes on the large lots.

Scaled back to a single family dwelling, neighbours are now supportive of the type of home developer Mark Bernhardt is bringing to the community – a house built to the high energy efficiency standards, or 60 to 90 per cent more efficient than standard house construction.

“We can’t hold it against the neighbours for lodging concerns because it is their right and change is scary,” said Bernhardt, property owner and general contractor for Bernhardt Passive Home. “Rezonings are always controversial and change causes concern.”

The current plan is for a home slightly smaller than the original and has undergone some changes to fit within the zoning.

It features a flat roof, as opposed to the originally-designed peaked roof, a wall of south facing windows and an overhang that allows for shade in the summer and sunlight in the winter as the angle of the sun changes with the season. Bernhardt plans to live in the five-bedroom house, while his father Rob, project manager will live in the basement suite.

“The general function is still the same,” he added.

The home comes with a total price tag of $600,000, or $10,000 more than the same home stan-

dardly constructed. The difference will be recouped in six to 10 years of energy savings, Bernhardt said.

Passive house certification is solely based on energy efficiency. A passive house maximizes energy collected from sunlight and through building shape, orientation, airtightness and heat recovery ventilation to achieve efficiencies 60 to 90 per cent greater than standard construction.

They require so little heat that they can be heated primarily through passive sources such as sunlight and existing appliances.

The passive house may be the first of its kind in the region, but according to Casey Edge, executive officer with the Victoria branch of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, the Berndhardts are far from the only developers opting to adhere to high energy efficiency standards.

“Everyone is in favour of increased energy efficiency in homes and being environmentally responsible, but it’s important not to continually ratchet up the energy efficiency without doing the due diligence,” Edge said, quoting the leaky condo fiasco of the ’80s and ’90s. “British Columbia did that once already and it would be folly to do that again.”

As for a return in investment on energy savings, Edge is mindful of the actual cost of higher priced homes, once interest rates are taken into consideration.

“People say over the long term, savings will be recouped, well that will be quite a long time,” he said. “We have to balance energy efficiency with affordability – especially in this region where we have some of the highest costs of living in North America.”

Bernhardt believes the merits reach beyond economics.

“As a byproduct of that energy efficiency, you get all kinds of other benefits, like pristine indoor air quality, even temperatures throughout and warm concrete floors in the basement, even without radiant heating.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Capital Regional District directors should put the proposed $782-million secondary sewage treatment project on hold and look at emerging and alternative treatment technology.

That’s the appeal Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward at Wednesday’s CRD liquid waste management committee meeting.

Derman said new energy extraction methods in sewage treatment could make the current project a relic before it’s even completed.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins also expressed concern that directors are moving too hastily to implement the plan, which includes a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point and a biosolids energy centre in a to-be-determined location.

The federal and provincial governments have pledged one-third of the $782 million price tag, but any cost overruns will fall on municipal shoulders.

“The further we go down these roads, the more we have adopted and accepted this plan, the less opportunity we have to revisit and re-look at things,” Desjardins

said later in an interview.

At the meeting, Desjardins put forward a notice of motion that calls for a re-evaluation of how federal environmental standards apply to the Capital Region and a request for exemption from federal wastewater regulations.

She also hopes the CRD will re-engage “prominent scientists who are united in their opinion that we are not harming the environment and that we have the wrong plan.”

“Basically, it’s asking this committee to take a stand and turn the table around, to stop,” she said.

The committee also reviewed the first concrete cost-sharing formula between the seven municipalities involved in the project. Councils are expected to pony up $37 million collectively each year, but the formula will be reviewed by each municipality before being approved.

Oak Bay fares the worst, with an estimated $391 annual cost per household by 2017, while Victoria comes in at $353 per household. CRD staff cautioned that the estimates are preliminary and will depend on borrowing rates at the time of implementation.

Dr. Shaun Peck, the former CRD medical health officer and board member for

ARESST (Association for Responsible and Ethical Sewage Treatment), also presented his opposition to the project at Wednesday’s committee meeting.

“There’s still time to apply for an exemption to the federal wastewater regulations based on the unique marine receiving environment of Victoria,” Peck said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Sewage cost breakdown Early estimates of annual cost to operate the CRD sewage plant Victoria: $13.8 million; $353 per average household Esquimalt: $2.5 million; $311 per household Saanich: $11.5 million; $232 per household Oak Bay: $2.5 million; $391 per household Langford: $4.1 million; $332 per household Colwood: $1.4 million; $310 per household View Royal: $1.2 million; $240 per household

In terms of vintage goods, Biagio suspects Greater Victoria has many people who have unknowingly squirreled away pure gold – old toys, LP records, comics, magazines and even old shopping catalogues that now have the added value of retro cache and nostalgia.

“Shows like Big Bang Theory and Toy Hunter have brought collecting into the spotlight,” he says. “Victoria has a lot of untapped resources for collectables. There’s a lot of garages with stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day for decades.

“I know we have good stuff hiding here. A lot of folks moved here in the 1980s, a lot of retirees stayed here. Many of those haven’t touched what’s in their attic.”

Candice and Biagio launched the toy show five years ago with the aim to celebrate the varied but dedicated collector culture, while appealing to kids and raising money for charity –$15,000 so far.

This time they’ve drawn a few Victoria-based cartoon, comic and voice artists, including voice actor Jim Henshaw and Ken Steacy, who has illustrated for Marvel and D.C. comics.

about safety, so we’re not going to put people at risk by trying to remove the tree, when they’re unwilling to get out from the hazard zone underneath the tree.”

The tree has fallen victim to a rot-causing fungus, phaeolus schweinitzii, and the Saanich parks department had deemed that it should be removed, given its size and location in an area prone to high winds.

The group of invested locals, to which Oberg belongs, hired their own arborist to conduct an independent review of the health of the tree after Saanich’s initial discovery of the fungus in the spring.

That process yielded the same conclusion as Saanich’s testing.

By the end of August, Saanich agreed to a third review of the health of the tree and imposed a deadline of Oct. 5 to receive any additional information residents found, before the sched-

“We’ve been trying to be patient to see what that information is, but there’s been no real hard and fast information that has changed our opinion,” Roer added. “Winter storms are approaching and that tree presents a risk we have to address.

We’ve been very patient and attempted to be open and transparent from the beginning.”

Residents have the assistance of a lawyer who lives in the neighbourhood, Oberg said, noting that an injunction against Saanich is in the works. Roer confirmed the department had received some correspondence, but no official legal action had been made by press time.

“Where the factual trail goes, we will live with. But we are confident, we know now, that the trail still needs some development,” Oberg said.

Natalie North John Oberg enjoyed his morning tea from a new locale Tuesday: on the boulevard along Cadboro Bay Road, where he pulled up a lawn chair and sat beneath a towering Douglas fir tree slated for removal.

Oberg set up shop with a friend beneath the canopy of the ancient but ailing tree on Cadboro Bay Road near Arbutus Road, and within 15 minutes, a the tree removal company hired

Next came a small group of concerned residents who’d like to see more testing done before the tree is taken down. Representatives from the municipality’s parks department, and two police officers were called in to keep the peace.

“We’re not radicals,” Oberg said. “We’re senior citizens. …

We’re just a bunch of seniors that love our neighbourhood and don’t want people destroying it.”

The handful of residents refused to leave the base of the tree and their protest has worked, for now. Saanich’s plan to remove the tree is postponed once more – at least temporarily.

Bus strikes hit poor, elderly P

eople with long memories understand what life is like without bus service.

Slightly more than 11 years ago, Greater Victoria suffered through a two-week transit strike, where the main form of transportation for tens of thousands of people ground to a halt.

Some people made do and carpooled with friends or hopped on a bike. Many who needed to crisscross the region couldn’t get to their jobs and lost wages, or risked their personal safety by hitchhiking. Parents suddenly had to drive their teenager to school who normally took the bus.

Elderly people on fixed incomes who usually hopped a bus had to dole out for taxis for medical appointments or grocery shopping.

Some drivers and even bike riders enjoyed roadways free of big, imposing buses, and many people with cars offered strangers free lifts, but the silver linings of a transit strike are few.

Perhaps more than any other public sector contract dispute, shutting down buses throws a city’s economy into chaos and hurts the most vulnerable people.

Prior to the 2001 strike, bus drivers went on strike in 1999 for one week. Before that, transit went on strike in 1984 for three months and crippled the economy of downtown Victoria.

Today its shocking how little has changed in terms of transportation infrastructure. At least back then you could still catch the VIA dayliner.

If bus drivers strike next week, cycling and carpooling will ramp up and many people will make do. But the poor, elderly and disabled will face a grim few weeks or months.

The Canadian Auto Workers union and B.C. Transit management have demonstrated in the past they are willing to use the city’s transportation network as a negotiating tool.

Many other big unions – nurses, government employees and even teachers – have found ways to work within the province’s net-zero mandate.

Both sides in the transit dispute claim they are too.

The damage done by a transit strike is well documented. Agreeing to a contract is possible and inevitable. The CAW and B.C. Transit don’t have to shut down the city to do it.

These unexpected discoveries can really make researching your family’s background a rewarding pastime.

While I was writing this column, I was randomly typing into Google family names to see what would pop up. I quickly discovered a few new facts about my paternal grandmother’s brother, George Fowle. Then came the real surprise.

My great grandfather had come to Canada with his wife and children, as well as a half-brother, Timothy Barmby. That half-brother had one child, who never had kids of his own, so that seemed like the end of the Barmby family line here.

Except my search also turned up a family page for a Barmby brother or cousin who came to Canada at the same time, married in Winnipeg, had children and ended up in Saskatchewan.

Who knew? Well, now we do.

So now it’s back to the previous mystery: what did my grandfather do for those years in London?

LETTERS Flushing our sewage is far from an ideal situation I heard former environment minister David Anderson say recently that dumping Victoria’s sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca was “as effective as artificial land-based sewage treatment.”

How can any intelligent human believe such a statement?

According to Capital Regional District numbers, outfalls at Clover Point and Macaulay Point handle the effluent from 330,000 people daily, many of whom use personal-care products, laundry products, medicines and more, all contributing to a chemical stew being discharged into the local environment.

Stores throughout the region sell over-the-counter medicines, household cleansers, mouthwashes, hair dyes, bleaches and similar products every day.

Additionally, many area residents use prescription drugs, virtually all of which pass through their bodies and are excreted into the waste stream.

Anyone can read the warning labels on any of these products, and understand they pose a threat to the environment if not handled carefully. Even toothpaste is toxic, with labels warning users not to ingest the

product. But almost all of the areas’ 330,000 residents flush this down the drains, every day.

Anderson and the Association for Responsible, Ethical and Sustainable Sewage Treatment say “source control” is their answer to the concerns about these chemical contaminants.

Does he really think Victoria’s residents will stop washing their clothes, cleaning their houses, or stop taking their medicines?

Many scientific studies have been done that show these chemicals are damaging the worlds’ environment.

Anderson says the conditions

of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are somehow “different,” yet virtually all communities along the Strait currently have sewage treatment, except Victoria.

Even little communities like Sooke, Sidney, Salt Spring Island, Friday Harbour, Port Townsend and Sequim have sewage treatment.

If these communities all have funded and built sewage treatment, why can’t affluent Victoria, the Provincial Capital?

Anderson tells the public an “exemption” is possible. With virtually every other nearby community already treating its

sewage, what will Victoria state as its “special” circumstances, warranting its ability to continue to pollute the areas’ environment all others are spending so much to clean up?

Modern sewage treatment facilities remove 98 per cent of the chemicals of concern.

Screening raw sewage before dumping it into the environment removes none of them.

It is sad to see Anderson and others deceive the public in their efforts to achieve their political goals.

Readers respond: Ironman Canada bid, Syrian war, sewage legacy Ironman Canada bid loss a crying shame Re: Too much, too soon for Victoria (Sports, Oct. 5) What a shame.

Although it was apparently the preferred location, Victoria has lost its bid to become the next host and permanent home of the Ironman Canada, a world famous triathlon event attracting thousands of participants and visitors each year.

The reason given by the event organizers for not accepting Victoria’s bid was the archaic bureaucratic and stifling procedures required to obtain quick approval and continuity from 10 of our 13 municipalities in order to meet the timing and routing commitments for the event.

Just another case for amalgamation wouldn’t you say?

This is especially sad, since apparently Ironman Canada gave

Victoria the highest rating for its course, location and all round perfect venue.

We all know the natural beauty of our area is a highlight for all participants from around the world when they participate in our many marathons and other sporting events throughout the year.

Wouldn’t you think that an event of this magnitude, with the financial benefits it would bring to our area, that the provincial government, along with strong input from all municipalities in our area, would have enthusiastically endorsed our bid rather than idly sitting back, leaving just a few local interested parties to pursue the bid on their own?

Maybe it’s for the best, as families from the Mainland would probably not be able to afford to come over to share in the excitement of this world-class event because of the atrocious

fare prices of our B.C. Ferries.

Children victimized in Syrian civil war Today, I am ashamed to be Canadian.

I am appalled and disgusted that Canada is not doing more to help children in Syria. While I sit and pay for Stephen Harper’s salary and spending account, hundreds of children are dying by the day.

What is the media doing to support them? Is the media applying pressure to the federal government to mobilize aid? As a Canadian citizen, I increase your ratings by turning on the news.

When do you do something for me?

I’m asking that you help these children, draw as much attention to their plight as you possibly can. Tell Canadian citizens what it

is they can do to help.

Somebody needs to get to those children, any way they can.

Sewage project latest Campbell legacy fiasco Should anyone be surprised that the B.C. Appeal Court has thrown out the ludicrous thirdparty advertising law that Gordon Campbell crafted?

It joins the turfing-out of his drinking-driving curbside justice fiasco, his shredding of the teachers’ contracts and several others.

And they join his brilliant policies like the carbon tax and the phony $100 rebate that came with it, his compulsory balancedbudget legislation, the payment of $5 million in legal fees for the defendants who pleaded guilty in the B.C. Rail scandal, his fixed election dates, $600-million

roof for B.C. Place, his closing of Tourism B.C., open cabinet meetings and dozens of equally bizarre decisions that he and his cabinet colleagues decided were so appropriate.

Perhaps people will now understand how much thought went into the Campbell/Penner orders that we should spend $1 billion treating sewage effluent that is already – almost perfectly – being treated in the ocean off our southern shores.

Too bad he also eliminated the requirement for a referendum, or for any environmental/economic/ social impact study, because neither would pass.

When will some of our elected officials summon up the courage to start telling the truth and stop this project?

Or, is the stampede of the politically correct lemmings irreversible?

Trust Me! is a project aimed at building relationships between teens and seniors of Gorge-Tillicum by making safer shared community spaces that most teens and seniors use – areas such as sidewalks, malls, recreation centres and bus stops.

“We called it ‘Trust Me!’ because between ... teens and the seniors, we feel that there’s a lack of trust,” said Liz McCarter, wellness centre co-ordinator for the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

“I’ve often heard seniors say, especially when they live near a high school, that they don’t go out at noon and they don’t go out after three, when all the kids get out,” McCarter said.

“Then you’ll often hear kids say ‘Well I was trying to be nice to a senior, but they didn’t do anything’ – they just don’t understand each other.”

“There’s a lack of trust on both sides,” said Julie Wallace, recre-

“Our (offer) is exactly in line with the nurses (and) the BCGEU and we’re still surprised we’re sitting at this impasse,” Burton said.

Williams said the union is aware of the government’s restraints. “We are within the guidelines that are laid out with the government,” he said.

No specific bargaining details are being provided by either side, but both Williams and B.C. Transit have expressed a desire to return to negotiations.

Burton called the uniform ban a safety violation, from B.C. Transit’s perspective.

Celebrate final link in the news chain

Are your kids begging for new games?

Newspaper carriers celebrated for weekly efforts Don Descoteau News staff

It’s easy to take for granted the community newspaper that gets delivered to your door twice a week.

Readers should know, however, that Black Press doesn’t take the people who distribute the Saanich News for granted. “For me the carriers are number one,� says Black Press Greater Victoria circulation director Bruce Hogarth, who oversees about 1,100 delivery people throughout the system. “Without the carriers, all the hard work that goes into producing the newspaper would be for naught.�

Newspaper Carrier Appreciation Week in B.C. runs from tomorrow (Oct. 13) through Oct. 20. To celebrate, the News and parent company Black Press are spotlighting the

youth and adults who are the final link in the news chain that starts with stories being written and advertisements sold and ends with people taking time out to read our print products.

In Greater Victoria, the small army of Black Press carriers deliver free community newspapers to approximately 100,000 homes and businesses.

Carriers are valued and appreciated for that weekly effort, Hogarth says, noting the job comes with a lot of responsibility. “For a lot of our carriers, this is their first job and it’s a great opportunity for them to learn valuable skills that they can carry forward.�

He also credits those parents who play a major role in helping younger carriers fulfill Black Press’ commitment to the readers of the News.

Municipal and airport fire crews doused the flames with fire retardant foam and cut into the fuselage of a downed aircraft to get to the trapped passengers inside.

The fiery simulation — an emergency preparedness exercise — was designed to test the response times of the airport emergency services and fire crews from the Town of Sidney and the North and Central Saanich. “It’s part of our emergency preparations and we plan for it regularly,� said airport authority president and CEO Geoff Dickson. “It’s a regular event every four years to have such a major simulation.�

Dickson said the response to a fake downed aircraft at the west end of the airport, complete with live volunteer victims, flame, smoke and foam, went well and the emergency response department will review the effort to make sure they hit their targets.

One of the main goals, he said, was to ensure airport fire crews can get the call, get on the tarmac and hit a fire with foam in two minutes. “It went better than we could have expected,� said Dickson, adding there were some glitches with communications outside of the airport with mutual aid partners. “(A crash) could happen

On scene during the event, Dickson said there were around 120 people participating, from emergency crews and victims to communications and security staff. “I think it’s realistic,� Dickson said of the exercise. “When you’re in the heat of something like this, it’s always a challenge but it’s first class from what I can see in the first response.�

Joan Hirons stretches during an osteo-fit class at the Monterey Centre in Oak Bay. TIM COLLINS/NEWS STAFF

Q TIM COLLINS NEWS STAFF

Joan Hirons has always been an energetic, vibrant woman – enjoying activities like line dancing, tap dancing and working as a volunteer at the Monterey Centre in Oak Bay. At age 78 she felt Åt and ready to meet the world.

Then last July, Hirons was at the entrance to the centre when she twisted her body without moving her feet and broke her hip. “It wasn’t a fall, or an accident of any kind,” she said. “I just planted my feet and turned.”

She was still recovering from that injury

when in October, she broke her other hip while at home.

Hirons was eventually diagnosed with osteoporosis, a chronic disease that is characterized by low bone mass and the deterioration of bone tissue. She was told that she faced a signiÅcant period of recovery at Royal Jubilee Hospital.

“I had no idea that I had a problem,” Hirons said. “I wasn’t feeling weak or anything like that. It’s one of those silent things that can affect you without a lot of warning.”

Hirons’ story is all too common, said Larry Funnel, chair of the Osteoporosis

“They leave the hospital with a cast, but are still unaware that they are suffering from a chronic disease,” said Funnel.

For Hirons, the story h has a positive ending.

D Despite her fractures, she has recovered and her diagn diagnosis allowed her to make th the appropriate changes in her life. During her two months of recovery and rehabilitation at Royal Jubilee, Hirons began to participate in osteo-Åt classes. The classes are designed to teach participants how to minimize twisting and bending from the waist, while leading them through a series of movements designed to increase

About 80 per cent of women with the chronic disease are undiagnosed, n he said. “The Årst indication that they have a problem is when a fracture occurs,” said Funnel.

The situation is even worse for men.

Even though about 20 per cent of men will at some point in their lifetime suffer an osteoporotic break, nearly 95 per cent of those men are undiagnosed.

And both men and women may continue to be undiagnosed, even after a fracture.

COLUMNIST I come by this senior reÆection honestly enough. Like most of you I have been bombarded by Internet photos of Prince Harry romping around his Las Vegas hotel suite in the buff.

In the conservative shelter of my reclining years these photos remind me that I was pretty cheeky when I was a younger man. They also remind me that one of my truly cheeky professional moments came during a conversation with Harry’s mom when he was just a baby.

In my defence, I was fully dressed.

Let me take you back more than a quarter century. Five years after their “wedding of the century” Prince Charles and Princess Diana came to B.C. for Expo ’86. In Victoria the Lieutenant Governor hosted a media reception.

I had covered the wedding in London for the Vancouver Sun and was struck then by how powerfully Lady Di radiated her shy bewilderment at the spectacle in which she was the centre piece. At the reception Åve years later, I was immediately aware that

Diana looked at my pin stripe suit and said: “New suit then?” I countered: “Actually Your Highness I bought it for your wedding Åve years ago.”

This was the truth.

Saanich Senior upper body strength and improve the muscles around the bones. Those muscles can offer support to the skeletal structure and reduce fractures.

Once she was released from hospital, Hirons sought out similar osteo-Åt classes at the Monterey Centre. She participates in those classes twice a week, and repeats the exercises at home.

“I don't want to get frail,” she said. “You can never be too Åt.”

“There are wonderful success stories like Joan’s out there, and we like to focus on them,” said Funnel. “Still, education is key, especially for men. Men are statistically more likely to die from complications arising from osteoporotic fractures than they are to succumb to prostate cancer. But they’ll have heard all about that cancer but know nothing about osteoporosis.”

Exercise, lifestyle and treatment of osteoporosis are some of the topics addressed in an upcoming free information session to be held Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The session will be hosted by the Canadian Osteoporosis Patients Network and will feature a number of prominent experts in the Åeld who will discuss the latest developments in reporter@vicnews.com osteoporotic care.

The Senior Life

Q&A

Seventy-nine-year-old John Ryzebol has lived in Saanich for 24 years. He moved from Winnipeg in 1988 after Swifts, the meat packing plant he worked for closed.

John grew up in Saskatchewan with eight brothers and sisters and helped his family on their farm. He got his first job as a cowboy when he was about 12-years-old and earned $1 a week. He worked on horseback without a saddle or boots, he said. Last year, while at the Silver Threads Community Centre he had what doctors think was a heart attack. He credits Silver Threads assistant director Julie McGaghey for saving his life by giving him CPR until the ambulance arrived. He has been married for 56 years and has seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

“The older I am, the better I get. I’ve never had it so good,” said Ryzebol.

Q A

Favourite Saanich destination or activity?

I teach oil painting at Silver Threads Community Centre at 286 Hampton Rd. I enjoy painting and I like to share this experience with others. Hopefully they too will find pleasure in it, as I do. I’ve also volunteered at Bibles For Missions Thrift Store at 2520 Government Ave. for 20 years.

I love meeting all the people who come in the store. It is very interesting.

Every day of the week save one, Margaret Cross is kept busy with her various volunteer jobs.

For the past two years, she’s been a director at Goward House, an activity centre for seniors, where she also takes classes and helps out in the kitchen with many of the centre’s special events, such as barbecues and strawberry teas. One day a week, she also volunteers at the Royal B.C. Museum. Though Cross isn’t Greek, she has several friends who are, and once a year she adopts the Mediterranean heritage for Greek Fest. Serving as a chopper in the kitchen, she says the fest is both exhausting and a lot of fun. In her free time, Cross is learning to weave at the Les Passmore Seniors Centre, and also takes turns hosting a weekly stitch and bitch – a fun group who come together to sew, gossip and eat. O

When Sharron Ryan’s grandmother died, it was her mother who held her hand in her last moments.

Afterwards, she advised Ryan with the following advice: “If you ever have the chance to sit with someone who is passing away, do it.” Ryan took her mom’s words to heart. To date, she has held the hands of about 75 patients as they died in the palliative care unit at Aberdeen Hospital, and describes her experiences as mind boggling. Currently on a break from this volunteer work for health reasons, Ryan is the go-to person for any kind of help for all the seniors in her apartment building.

5440 with guests Grapes of Wrath

5440 and Grapes of Wrath, two of Canada’s most beloved and iconic bands, will come together for one evening at Victoria’s stunning Royal Theatre. This pairing offers Victoria music fans an amazing journey through Canada’s musical heritage. At the Royal Theatre on Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Go to rmts.bc.ca for ticket information.

Inmates find purpose in the world of Tolkien Prison production of The Hobbit celebrates 75th anniversary Kyle Wells News staff

The vast expanses of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth may be hard to imagine from life inside a prison, but for the inmates of William Head Institution, putting on The Hobbit has been a journey all their own.

Under the direction of Kate Rubin, the William Head Stage Theatre Society is performing Rubin’s adaptation of Tolkien’s beloved novel from Oct. 12 to Nov. 1 at the prison, 6000 William Head Rd. Rubin has been involved as an actor with two plays at the minimum-security prison before, including last season’s Gormenghast. This year she was asked to g direct, andgshe gladly accepted.

Be part of the next Runaways rock band As part of a mandate to provide artist development for aspiring young musicians, Kasper Creative Media and Blue Water Gun Records present an opportunity for female musicians ages 18 to 23 to audition for an all-girl rock band that will be professionally managed and promoted.

The goal is to produce high-calibre recordings and live performances, maximize artist development and launch the band.

Auditions for White Hot Jet will be held today (Oct. 12) from 7 to 9 p.m. at Lemon Tree Studios, 1821 Cook St. They are looking for vocalists, guitarists, bassists, and drummers. Being able to sing and play more than one instrument is an asset, but not required. There is no cost to audition.

Participants not chosen for this project may still be chosen for future projects.

If you would like an audition spot, call or email James Kasper at 250-885-4209 or info@ jameskasper.com. llavin@vicnews.com

On this, the 75th anniversary of the publication of the novel, Rubin’s post-industrial adaptation takes a unique look at the tale. The story and dialogue remain true to the source material, but costumes and sets are meant to reflect a more contemporary working-class sensibility. The tone of the play touches on subjects more common to Kyle Wells/News staff recent newspaper headlines Actor Bronwyn Steinberg plays than Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

“It relates to the devastation an elven queen in Kate Rubin's that can happen from greed,” post-industrial take on The Hobbit Rubin said. “The environmen- being performed at William Head tal devastation, the social Institution from Oct. 12 to Nov. 10. devastation, things breaking down so that there becomes these The cast is made up of inmates, creatures like Gollum, who has plus three professional actresses lost his humanity.” who are brought in to play the

female roles. Monica Prendergast, Anne Cirillo and Bronwyn Steinberg have come in as professional actors and two professionals are also involved in the crew: Carole Klemm, the designer, and puppeteer Tim Gosley.

Admitting she was at first a bit nervous to work with the prisoners, Steinberg, who plays the elven queen, among other parts, said the experience has been overwhelmingly positive and has reinvigorated her love of theatre and its more human aspects.

She has been amazed to see the enthusiasm and commitment of the inmates.

“Even in just the few weeks that I’ve been involved you can see they’ve been building confidence and also just a sense of ownership and agency,” Steinberg said.

“You can see them just growing through the show and through the process.”

Rubin too, said it’s amazing to see the transformative power of theatre and just how beneficial the process of putting on a play is for the inmates. Many come into the process shy and unsure, Rubin said, but by the end are proud to have been a part of something positive and productive.

“They want to give and they don’t get that opportunity very much,” Rubin said. “Especially someone who feels shame for what they’ve done, and if they’ve come through that shame, there’s a huge need to give.”

Tickets are $20 and are available at Ticket Rocket, 2-1609 Blanshard St., My Chosen Cafe, 4480 Happy Valley Rd., online at TicketRocket. org or by phone at 250-391-6291.

Shipyard boom stresses roadways in Esquimalt Daniel Palmer News staff

Catherine Nash is nine months pregnant and cares for two young daughters at home.

Her husband mostly works out of town. Like many mothers, she struggles to fit in play time with her kids, house chores and in-town errands each day.

Parking in front of her house was one convenience she used to take for granted. But since the nearby Victoria Shipyards ramped up production, the congestion has created chaos for Nash and her neighbours.

“If you leave for 10 minutes, your parking is gone for the day,” said Nash, one of many upset residents who live on or around Lockley Road and Intervale Avenue in Esquimalt.

On Oct. 1, Esquimalt councillors addressed the issue and asked staff for a report on the options available, including resident parking, permit parking and two-hour zones.

Seaspan Marine Corp. – owner of Victoria Shipyards, the third-largest employer in Esquimalt – was recently awarded an $8-billion shipbuilding contract by the federal government.

It will create 6,000 jobs, and a press release stated 15 per cent of the work will be completed in Esquimalt, while the rest will take place at Seaspan’s Vancouver shipyards.

Construction is slated to begin later this year or in early 2013, and a $160-million upgrade has been taking place at both locations.

Seaspan did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Nearby residents said the company paved a parking lot near their offices on Admirals Road to help alleviate parking congestion earlier this year.

But with construction ramping up and more employees arriving, the parking squeeze is likely to get worse.

“When you combine (Department of National Defence) and dockyard, that’s approximately 6,000 people,” Mayor Barb Desjardins said. “And we know from years gone by, even prior to the Seaspan announcement, that two-thirds of those people come from West Shore and transportation is a real challenge.”

The cancellation of the navy’s popular Blue Boat commuter ferry service earlier this year has exacerbated the problem.

While the Baseline Connector

ferry service still does the daily run, it costs $5 for each return trip and many workers choose to drive instead.

Desjardins said the only regional solution to congestion is the long-delayed Salish Express rail service between Victoria-Langford and Esquimalt-Cowichan.

She plans to meet with the region’s mayors this fall to discuss how to fund an implementation plan, estimated to cost $98,000.

In July, the Capital Regional District rejected an appeal from eight mayors to fund two-thirds of the plan. “There’s no ability to say halfway through a calendar year to take on a new project,” said Andy Orr, CRD spokesman. “The quickest we could say is to budget for this in the next fiscal year.”

But Desjardins said action needs to be taken now to avoid a perfect storm of traffic congestion.

“This is only the tip of the iceberg. Wait until Craigflower Bridge and Johnson Street Bridge start to go under construction. How are we going to manage parking and problems, then? We have to get a handle on it regionally now.”

Chargers golfers slip in B.C. tie-breaker

Omwenga doubles Adam Campbell well-suited to task Travis Paterson News staff

Kenyan Thomas Omwenga won the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon for the second year in a row on Sunday, but his record stands from 2011.

Omwenga finished the course on an “unseasonally warm” day with a time of two hours, 20 minutes and 41 seconds, which is six minutes slower than his record of 2:13:44 set in 2011. Gilbert Kiptoo, another Kenyan, came second at 2:27:01.

Portland’s Hallie Janssen was the top woman with a time of 2:47:03, just 33 seconds ahead of Nadyia Fry (Invermere), the second-overall woman. The two were 14th and 15th overall, with Victoria’s Catrin Jones the third woman and 19th overall finisher in a time of 2:49:02.

Easily the most fashionable effort from Sunday’s 33rd annual Victoria Marathon was Adam Campbell’s impressive time of 2:35:53. Campbell, a lawyer and ultramarathoner from Victoria, managed not to overheat under autumn sun while wearing a suit, blazer and tie. He should qualify for the Guinness World Records fastest marathon in a suit, breaking the previous time 3:24.

Thomas Omwenga, left, Gilbert Kiptoo and Philip Samoei take the early lead at the 33rd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon on Oct. 7.

Other notables include Vancouver’s Graeme Wilson, third overall in the marathon. Wilson was the top B.C. runner and the top men’s master with a time of 2:29:17, winning the B.C. marathon championship.

First time marathoners, Nikki Jomha and Greg Robbins, two locals featured in the News’ fall series On the Run, finished the race in 4:21:26 and 3:57:40, respectively. Barefoot runner Derek Shaw, also part of On the Run, completed the halfmarathon in 2:09:47.

Natasha Fraser outdueled Lucy Njeri and broke her own course record in the half-marathon from 2011, with a new record of 1:14:06 to Njeri’s 1:14:27.

Rutto Kibet (Edmonton) was the top

male in the half-marathon with a time of 1:04:27, with Victoria’s Geoff Martinson running to second in 1:05:39.

Local Jim Finlayson was the top master runner in the half-marathon, his first run in the over-40 master category, finishing in 1:08:51, eighth overall.

Chris Winter (Vancouver) won the eight kilometre road race in 24:13. Rachel Cliff (Vancouver) was the top woman at 27:43 Registration numbers: 2,056 registered for the marathon, 5,503 for the half, 2,844 in the eight-km, 1,100 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, for a total of 11,503.

Runnin’ Rebel on record pace Travis Paterson News staff

Rebels running back Greg Morris is eyeing the BCFC record for total yards rushed in a season.

NEWS

Greg Morris can expect some added attention this weekend. Breaking a 13-year-old Canadian Junior Football League rushing record will do that.

The Westshore Rebels running back carried the ball 24 times against the Kamloops Broncos, in Kamloops on Saturday, to an astounding 405 yards, scoring four touchdowns along the way, including a 91-yard scamper.

Morris now leads the league in rushing with a total of 1,471 yards and 17 touchdowns scored.

The Rebels move to seven wins and two losses, second place in the B.C. Football Conference standings. The win also eliminated the Broncos from their playoff hopes.

With one regular season game remaining, all that’s left to decide for the Rebels is home advantage in the upcoming playoff semifinal against the Langley Rams. This Saturday the Rebels visit the Vancouver Island Raiders, while the Rams face the Okanagan Sun. Playing against the Raiders in the final game of Morris’ career year is fitting.

It was with the Raiders that current B.C. Lions running back Andrew Harris

broke the 400-yard mark during the 2008 playoffs. And even though Saturday’s game bears no outcome on the Raiders’ plans (they’ll host the Sun in the other semifinal), Morris and the Rebels can expect a strong defensive effort from the Raiders.

Morris needs to run the ball 122 yards to break Matt Medwick’s BCFC rushing record of 1,592 yards in a season, set with the Valley Huskers in 2000. However, five yards is all Morris needs to take Harris’ spot behind Medwick on the season list, ahead of Harris’ best season in 2009.

Surprisingly, the previous single game rushing record in the BCFC, now held

by Morris, was not Harris’, but was actually 338 yards, set by Eric Scott of the Richmond Raiders in 1985. Harris broke 338 in the playoffs, but not during the regular season.

Morris also added 50 yards to the previous Canadian record of 355-yards, accomplished by Craig Carter of the Windsor AKO Fratmen in 1999.

Fourteen of Morris’ 17 touchdowns this year are from the rush, which likely puts him out of reach of Harris’ 2009 BCFC league record of 20 TDs rushed, 24 TDs in total. sports@vicnews.com

The Camosun Chargers men’s golf team is going to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Golf National Championships.

The Chargers led the PacWest conference with a five-stroke lead going into the fourth and final tournament over Thanksgiving. That’s where the host Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the Chargers in a tie-breaker to win the 2012 PacWest championship.

Despite slipping to second place in the season’s standings the Chargers will attend the nationals, Oct. 15 to 19, hosted at the Oshawa Golf Club by Durham College in Oshawa, Ont. “It was a tough weekend for us,” Chargers coach John Randle said in the team’s press release. “It came right down to the wire and we didn’t get it done.”

After the first round of the UFV Invitational at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, the Chargers led the cumulative season standings by nine strokes, with one round to go to win the championship.

That’s when the lead crumbled. UFV caught the Chargers on Day 2 and, with a cumulative season total of 2,354 strokes each after four tournaments, the two went to a tie-breaker, which UFV won.

“All things considered, the guys played hard and conducted themselves as gentlemen and they represented Camosun with class and skill,” Randle said.

The Chargers settled for silver in the team standings but Jarred Callbeck, who was twice named the PacWest golfer of the week this year, won the men’s gold medal. Callbeck shot a cumulative total of 578 over 144 holes in the fall season, five strokes better than Aaron Pauls of UFV. The Chargers men’s team are Callbeck (Claremont secondary), Jared Hundza (Pacific Christian School), Kevin Walz (Kwalikum secondary, Qualicum), Grant Maskiewich (Smithers secondary) and Kevin Bredy (Sir Winston Churchill, Calgary, Alta). sports@vicnews.com

Until the buzzer sounds First-place Victoria Royals finding identity Travis Paterson News staff

Call them clutch, call them competitive, call them whatever you want, the Victoria Royals are winning. Through the first eight games the Royals had six wins, half of those came in extra time.

Forward Logan Nelson is one of the most visible reasons the team is off to a great start.

The 19 year old is playing noticably more physical and is chipping in timely goals, like the one he scored to tie the game against the Tri City Americans with 35 seconds left on Saturday to make it 3-3. He then scored the only goal of the shootout to cap a come-from-behind 4-3 victory.

It was his second shootout winner this year.

“I’ve been lucky in the shootout, getting bounces I guess,” Nelson said.

All in all, it was a solid three games in three nights road trip for the Royals, as they bounced back from a 5-3 loss to the Spokane Chiefs on Friday to beat the Americans Saturday and Vancouver Giants 2-1 on Sunday.

“I really liked the adjustments

we made on Saturday and the resiliency we showed (after Friday’s loss),” Lowry said. “We had a goal called back on the powerplay but came back and scored again, and that’s a good sign.”

Saturday was also the second time this season Nelson scored the only goal of the shootout, thereby winning the game for the Royals (in partnership with goalie Patrik Polivka, who has let in zero goals on six shootout attempts). Nelson’s other shootout goal was against the Kamloops Blazers on Sept. 28, also a 4-3 win.

“We’re much better at staying positive and if they get a goal, we know it’s not the end of the world,” Nelson said. “We’re not going to give up until the buzzer goes, especially when the other team thinks they’ve got the win.”

Without Steven Hodges, who was perhaps the team’s best player in the first three games before getting injured, the recent success of Nelson and the Royals is all the more impressive.

As of Wednesday morning, Nelson was second in team scoring with three goals and six assists, behind Alex Gogolev’s three goals and eight assists.

“It’s been up to the older guys to pick it up. We definitely miss Steve in the lineup,” Nelson said.

“Gogolev has been great. He’s got eyes in the back of his head finding guys out there.”

With Hodges out, Nelson moved off of Gogolev’s line and, onto a line with Jamie Crooks and Austin Carroll, though Nelson and Gogolev have skated together on the powerplay and with the extra attacker.

“I’ve been able to be compatible with (Crooks) and (Carroll) and game-by-game, we’re getting better,” Nelson said.

Trend or no trend, coming back from behind and winning in extra time is the biggest difference from last year’s Royals, and coach Dave Lowry isn’t picky right now about the way his team wins.

“This is a team searching for an identity right now,” Lowry said, “coming from behind, winning close games, winning in shootouts. When you’re winning you’re looking for new ways to challenge the team just as you would when you’re losing.”

The Royals results from Wednesday’s game against the Kamloops Blazers were past press time. sports@vicnews.com

SAANICH NEWS - Friday, October 12, 2012

Planning Ahead Provides Peace of Mind.

Victoria changes tune on freedom of information Roszan Holmen News staff

The City of Victoria has withdrawn its application to limit requests for information by Focus magazine.

In August, corporate administrator Rob Woodland applied to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for permission to restrict the magazine to one active request at a time.

While the city claimed the number of requests filed by Focus Magazine overburdened city resources, publisher David Broadland countered that he suspected the move was strategic, to delay the release of specific materials related to the Johnson

Street Bridge.

An adjudicator with the commission will no longer have to make a ruling in the case.

On Oct. 9 Woodland distributed a letter explaining his reasons for withdrawing his application.

“In the two months since the filing of the City’s application … the Respondents have made no new requests related to the JSB Project,” Woodland wrote.

By assigning extra resources to the job, the city has fulfilled all but one outstanding request by Focus, he continued. “Thus it is no longer necessary to proceed with the Section 43 application.” rholmen@vicnews.com
