RUMBLE READY Shake Out prepares for the big one

I

t’ll be all shake, rattle and roll on Oct. 18 as businesses, schools and households prepare for the “big one” with the Great B.C. Shake Out. The annual event encourages companies, organizations and households to think about their level of preparedness in the event of a large earthquake and to take some time out of their day at 10:18 a.m. to practise taking cover.

Employees at the school board office will be climbing under their desks too and practising a mock evacuation.

Human resources administration assistant Alison Makkinga said the office has participated for a couple of years now and said it is a helpful procedure to go through.

Kyle Wells “Every time we do it we figure Reporting out something else we should have done or could have done,” Makkinga said.

Many schools in School District 62 are also taking part in the event and students will be scrambling under their desks to simulate their reaction to a real quake. Two schools, John Muir and Millstream elementary schools, are going so far as to practise a student release drill, where parents who are able to participate will come to pick up their children as would happen after a real earthquake. Those two schools will hold their drills at the end of the day.

“It’s something we haven’t practised and we know we need to record who’s there and keep track of who’s picking the people up and where are they going,” Makkinga said.

“So we’re hoping to learn a lot about how to make that all smoother.”

Many schools already have supplies stockpiled in case of not being able to leave the building, most of which is prepared by Parent Advisory Committees. Makkinga said increasing earthquake preparedness isn’t in the budget right now, but it is still on everyone’s mind.

Langford’s director of Emergency Support Services, Tom Burchill, said the Shake Out is a great way to spread the word about earthquake preparedness, especially as its promotional materials are paid for by the province.

Burchill said the first thing every household should consider is securing their hot water tanks, because in the case of an emergency it can be a great source for water.

Second to that Burchill recommends secur-

British Columbians remain largely unprepared Natalie North News staff

Despite repeated campaigns and shocking images of devastation from other parts of the world, the vast majority of British Columbians remain unprepared for the day an earthquake strikes.

Emergency officials estimate only 14 per cent are prepared.

Last October 470,000 people registered in The Great B.C. Shake Out. Organizers hope to see that number increase, but despite the co-ordinated education effort, many people living in the high-risk coastal earthquake zone choose to ignore the warnings – a choice largely determined by factors known to University of Victoria environmental psychologist Robert Gifford as “dragons of inaction.”

“Although it seems obvious, maybe it’s not that obvious,” Gifford said of the reasoning behind the first of six dragons in the way of earthquake preparedness. Gifford’s dragons of inaction – why we don’t do what we know is best for us – reaches to all aspects of how we live.

“We all know we should brush our teeth, we should exercise, we should eat the right things, but a lot of us don’t do those things even when we should,” Gifford said.

Dave Cockle, deputy fire chief for Oak Bay and chair of the B.C. Earthquake Alliance that oversees the Shake Out wants to break the psychological roadblocks.

“The key messaging in this whole thing, is that you will get caught in an earthquake one day Kyle Wells/News staff and you need to drop, cover yourJasmine Kerr, left, and Nolan Young, Grade 6 students at Colwood elementary self and hold on until the shaking school, will be among many students in the West Shore crawling under their desks stops and then make your way for the Great B.C.

A tow truck operator prepares to remove the wreckage of a vehicle torn in half in a tragic crash on the Malahat Sunday, Oct. 14.

Crash claims three lives Peter Rusland Cowichan News Leader

Three woman are dead, and five people injured, after what could be the Malahat’s worst traffic crash.

A shaken Rob Patterson, chief of Malahat’s volunteer fire department, said the tragedy happened at about 11:30 a.m. Sunday during a two-vehicle cross-over crash along a non-median section of Malahat Drive near Whittaker Road.

The rain-soaked highway reopened around 5:30 p.m. after being closed in both directions as police re-routed traffic along Shawnigan Lake Road on the south-end. “It's the worst (fatality) I've ever attended,� said Patterson.

He and his crew awaited the coroner to confirm the three deaths before two bodies were removed from a totalled Honda SUV. The third victim was also a Honda passenger ejected when the southbound SUV crossed the centre line and struck a northbound Chev truck containing three people, Patterson said.

Identities of all eight people – including five from the Honda – were not released by press time.

An injured girl from the Honda, plus a pick-up truck passenger, were airlifted by medivac helicopter to a Victoria hospital.

A male ejected from the Honda was taken by ambulance to Victoria hospital, Patterson explained of the wreck at what he called “Nascar Corner� – near where Whittaker, leading to the Aerie luxury resort, reaches the highway.

"The Chevy driver put his truck in the ditch to avoid the oncoming (Honda) vehicle, but was unsuccessful,� Patterson said. "The Honda SUV

four-door was torn in half when it crossed the line and hit the truck."

First responders – including the lead Malahat crew, along with Mill Bay responders – plus police and paramedics attended the tragedy that closed the busy highway for six hours.

Firefighters used hydrolic cutting tools to remove victims from the mangled wreckage. Patterson said his

members who will be offered trauma counselling.

"Most people have never seen anything like this," the veteran chief said after dealing with Sunday's carnage.

Witnesses to the deadly crash should call North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250748-5522.

This year’s salmon run marks the first coho salmon to return since the massive fuel spill in Goldstream Park.

“We are very concerned about the coho, the adults returning are the juveniles from the fuel spill,” said Peter McCully, technical adviser for Goldstream Hatchery. “We have no idea what it’ll look like until later.”

On April 16, 2011, a fuel truck crash on the Malahat spilled 42,7000 litres of fuel into the Goldstream River.

Hours after 8,000 hatchery Charla Huber fish were released into the river. Throughout Reporting that week about 20,000 fish were released. This will be the first year the repercussions of the spill will be seen in fish, though last year about 800 were counted in the river.

“Last year the coho weren’t affected by the fuel spill,” McCully said.

While McCully waits to see the first glimpse of how the fuel spill

not a natural river,” McCully said.

“We are releasing water at critical times.”

With low water levels, the Capital Regional District allowed the hatchery to release water, but McCully is unsure how much water the hatchery will be allowed to release.

“The water is so blessedly low the fish won’t come in it. The fish need a change in the weather.”

The rain last weekend won’t affect the river water levels, it may add a “fresh water lens” on the ocean encouraging the fish to swim up stream. The ground is so dry the water is just absorbed and didn’t run into the rivers.

McCully is asking all residents of the CRD to start conserving water in their homes, so more can be released into the river to aid the salmon spawning.

Park naturalist Bre Robinson spotted the first chum swimming upstream last week.

Spawning draws students Charla Huber

for lessons and to witness the salmon run.

The majority of the classroom programs are covered through donations, but each class is asked to bring a minimum donation of $50. The programs run from Oct. 22 to Dec. 7 when 10 classes a day stroll through the nature house.

Last year’s salmon run brought in 41,000 chum and the year before only 4,500 were counted.

The salmon run hits its peak around Remembrance Day, one of the busiest days of the year, the naturalist said.

“When it starts to get good and stinky down here the eagles come out,” Robinson explained.

That usually occurs around Christmas. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Bre Robinson spotted the first salmon to swim upstream under the beam of a flashlight.

The Goldstream Park naturalist was in the middle of a sleepover program, Oct. 4, when she spotted the spawner. While only a few salmon have been seen, the annual run should be in full swing near the last week or two of October.

“All of the fish are in the estuary and the First Nations people are fishing, it’s part of their native rights,” Robinson said.

Schools from across Greater Victoria will swarm the park with more than 200 classrooms visiting

Songhees development gets all-clear sign from feds Roszan Holmen News staff

With the last outstanding permit finally in hand, developers of a controversial luxury yacht marina hope to start construction near Lime Bay by early next summer.

On Oct. 11, Transport Canada issued an approval under the federal Navigable Waters Protection Act to proponent WAM Development Group. The only hurdle remaining is an interior building permit from the City of Victoria.

“It should be straightforward,” project lead Larry Halgren said of the plan. He expects construction to take 10 to 12 months.

The federal permit is bad news for a number of interest groups

who have opposed the project.

“The Victoria West Community Association has been opposed to (a marina there) since it was first proposed in the 1980s and our stance has not changed,” president Nan Judd told the News.

In April 2010, hundreds of rowers, paddlers and pedestrians gathered at the location of the proposed marina to protest the application. Opponents argued the marina will block views, restrict water access for boaters and presents a safety hazard to an already congested harbour.

That same year, the City of Victoria addressed some of those concerns by imposing a compromise: it down-zoned the provincially owned water lot, located between

“The Victoria West Community Association has been opposed to (a marina there) since it was first proposed in the 1980s and our stance has not changed.”

– Nan Judd Paul Kane Place and Cooperage Place in the Songhees neighbourhood, effectively cutting the proposed marina in half.

The new plan includes 29 slips for yachts ranging from 20 to 33.5 metres in length and one for a vessel up to 46 metres. WAM calls it Canada’s first marina offering moorage slips exclusively to larger, recreational yachts. Its plans also include two commercial buildings, designed to jut out from the Westsong Walkway, with space for a

coffee shop and restaurant and marine-related businesses.

There will also be a channel along the walled shoreline for rowers and paddlers. Still uncertain is whether the marina will include a public dock for kayakers. The amenity was included in the original plan, but WAM has not committed to incorporating the dock into the smaller marina.

Slips will be available for purchase, rather than for rent.

“You purchase a slip, which is a

long-term lease and it’s good for 44 years,” Halgren said. “We haven’t established the prices yet.”

Once the company determines its construction costs for the marina – currently estimated at approximately $20 million – the prices will be set, he said.

The marina must conform to several Transport Canada safety parameters. They include doing harbour patrols, providing rescue equipment along the paddling route, installing a strobe light at the marina entrance to flash as vessels come and go, and placing yellow lights at either end of the marina which must flash every four seconds from dusk to dawn. rholmen@vicnews.com

Call for nominations in Queen celebration The next round of honouring Canadians with the Diamond Jubilee Medal is upon us and Colwood is asking residents to nominate people they feel worthy of the recognition.

To be considered the person must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reside in Canada), must have made a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canadaâ&#x20AC;? and they must have been alive on Feb. 6, 2012.

Submissions and contact information should be sent to pvanbuskirk@colwood.ca

by Friday, Nov. 9, 2012.

In total 60,000 Canadians are being honoured with the medal.

Grant application date change The City of Colwood changed its grant application deadline from Jan. 2 to Nov. 15. All organizations interested in applying for a city grant need to have their applications in by that date.

Hotel in the works, hopes to draw events Colwood council passed a motion at its Oct. 9 meeting approving a 10-year tax exemption for a hotel planned near the corner of Wale Road and Island Highway.

Rob Martin The private business venture would be the first hotel in Colwood.

Also, the location of the hotel will be ideal for events at Bear Mountain Arena.

OUR VIEW

Dedicate police patrol to Malahat E

mergency crews call it “NASCAR Corner,” where two northbound lanes on the Malahat Drive merge to one, and where a scene of carnage played out on Sunday just before noon.

For reasons that aren’t yet clear, a southbound Honda SUV veered into the oncoming lane and collided head on with a pickup truck. Three Nanaimo women in the Honda died and five other people were injured.

Malahat volunteer fire chief Rob Patterson called this the worst crash he’s seen – and he should know. He and his crew have bore witness as first responders to a number of fatal and largely preventable head-on collisions over the past few years.

Under pressure from a growing death toll and a vocal campaign by safety activists in the Cowichan Valley, the provincial government has committed about $8 million to install 5.4 kilometres of concrete barriers in high-crash areas of the Malahat by the spring of next year.

Barriers, as useful as they are to curb head-on collisions, are only part of the solution to creating a much safer mountain highway pass between the Capital Region and Cowichan.

Geographical limits and high costs prevent substantially widening the roadway or building another route around the Malahat. The highway we have now is the road we’re stuck with for the foreseeable future.

That leaves the solution of lining the road with barriers and ramping up law enforcement.

Creating a dedicated Malahat police patrol was recommended by the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, which mounted a concentrated, daily campaign to crack down on speeders, and drunk and distracted drivers during the summer of 2011.

So far, funding a permanent Malahat patrol is an expense the police and province aren’t willing to foot.

Even if this latest crash wasn’t speed-related, it’s another reminder that the highway can be dangerous, and the transportation route can be severed in an instant, often for hours.

With closures, fatalities and crashes, over the long run, the most cost-effective option is placing patrols on the Malahat full time.

Nature kindergarten teaches wonders of the world Re: The world as a classroom, News, Oct. 5.

My daughter is in the nature kindergarten program at Sangster elementary school, and what she is learning about our outdoors astounds me.

Things that I never even knew, such as why slugs have a slimy outer coat.

Ariana, 5, says “They are slimy to protect themselves from predators.”

Who knew? When we are driving up from the lagoon, she excitedly says ”there’s my classroom, the forest right inside the fence.”

She truly is finding that the world is her classroom. We are so grateful for this opportunity, and hope this program is able to continue well after the two-year pilot project period.

It’s wonderful to see the smiley fresh aired faces go out each day and come back with so much to share. When we talked last week about her missing a day of school to go away at Thanksgiving, she got a little sad and said “I don’t want to miss what I’m going to learn”. That about says it all.

Thanks so much for sharing our program in your paper.

Suzanne Robertson Colwood

An NDP government will not usher in the needed solutions B.C. is being left behind. There are communities that are cut off from the economic lifeblood of the rest of the country, particularly when compared to prosperous Alberta and Saskatchewan.

I’m not convinced an NDP government under Adrian Dix would balance their own approaches, and that their own hard lines would actually promote more discontent.

Furthermore, the New Democrat’s tax cuts to relieve the ‘perceived tax burden’ would lead to austerity measures that instead would cripple B.C.’s economy.

I’m worried that Dix would throw money at the issues without making deep cuts in areas such as policing, which, as we see in Victoria and its council, have created an economic impact to other services, of such scale and ferocity, that the middle-class is not only shrinking, it is disappearing altogether.

We can’t NDP our way out of our problems. It never worked before and will not work now.

Money should go to projects that make sense, not sewage Both Malahat safety and sewage disposal concerns have been the subject of numerous investigations, with a notable lack of constructive conclusions reached and actually acted upon, aside from several Band-Aid road fixes.

All the money spent on those studies could have funded a sizable chunk of the outlay for a practical project, perhaps a bridge across the Saanich Inlet, back when fewer residents existed to object to such an undertaking in their backyard.

As for sewage treatment, scientific evaluations, educated opinions and environmental considerations duly noted, it’s just plain wrong to add any amount of pollution to what oceans (or seas, rivers) already must absorb. However, with action finally underway, it seems that those in charge can’t resist a Cadillac solution for what a reliable Chevy could handle.

Despite lack of progress, both issues

Sangster elementary school is the first school in B.C. to offer the nature kindergarten pilot program, which one reader believes is a great educational tool to inspire and inform children.

at least make sense, unlike the kooky and costly Douglas Street to West Shore Rolls Royce Light Rail Transit proposition. With Johnson Street bridge costs now only heading upward, to address increased commuter numbers why not leave Douglas Street uncluttered and adapt the E&N line out to the West Shore? Invest some of what could be saved into worthwhile aspects or other projects, examples of which appear daily in the news.

School zones extend from sign to sign, not just by school As a former police officer living in Colwood, I’m constantly frustrated by the ignorance regarding school zones that some drivers exhibit.

In regards to the school zone on Metchosin Road, for Sangster elementary school, I witness idiotic driving every week.

Drivers are supposed to to be travelling no faster than 30 kilometres per hour when entering the school zone, not when you get to Lagoon Road. Once you’re past the school, you have to maintain no more than 30 km/h until you pass Terrahue Road, where these is a sign indicating the beginning of the school zone for drivers going the other direction.

The two yellow stripes on the back of the school zone sign is where the school zone ends, going towards Sooke Road.

I approached Colwood’s engineering department before school let out last June and was told putting “End of School Zone” signs on the other side of the yellow school zone signs was lauded by a committee.

Just last week, my wife was honked at, had lights flashed at her and given the “Trudeau Salute” by an irate driver because she maintained 30 km/h throughout the school zone.

Colwood still hasn’t posted the End of School Zone signs. So much for child safety.

New View Royal fire hall much needed for heroic volunteers While I understand and respect everyone’s right to an opinion and information regarding the proposed new fire hall in View Royal, I felt it was time a different point of view was provided; from a volunteer firefighter’s wife’s perspective.

Before I became part of the fire hall family I had no idea about the amount of time, dedication, and passion these firefighters put into their volunteer trade.

I was told by my mom and my grandma about the many times my grandfather (a founding member of the VRFD) would be gone for hours and sometimes miss family functions, however, I did not understand firsthand the commitment he gave.

I now get it.

I live it and our three children live it. It’s Murphy’s Law that at a birthday, anniversary, soccer game or dance class, his pager will go off. While our children appreciate, respect and understand why he volunteers, they are disappointed when Dad isn’t there.

I am often left to deal with parenting on my own, but understand and support my husband for what he does to help the citizens of View Royal. He is our hero. He is a truly amazing person and I cannot comprehend what he sees when he responds to an emergency, yet continues to go back for more.

Our volunteer firefighters do not have an adequate training facility. Storage for equipment and apparatus is insufficient. There is one shower for 30-plus volunteers to use after a call where they may have been exposed to contaminants. Their building will not withstand an earthquake.

The list goes on.

How are they supposed to help us if they don’t have access to their equipment or they are hurt themselves?

I value every member of the VRFD and believe they deserve a safe working facility that will allow them to continue to keep us safe. They volunteer to risk their lives and sacrifice their time every day for this community.

A few dollars a month for a safe new facility … is this not the least we can provide for our volunteers?

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

How not to read When reading, you should be seated at a desk or in a comfortable chair, not lying on your stomach or on your side. Your back should have a normal curve and not be scrunched or propped up with one arm. If used for a long time the horizontal reading position can seem normal, even though it causes eyestrain. The visual system gets used to a distorted perspective, but the muscles which coordinate the eyes have to work hard to prevent double vision.

Once you decide to be in a comfortable chair, you need to consider what kind it will be. It should permit the feet to be flat on the floor. If the feet do not reach, try a phone book under them. The lower back should be supported, and the desk or table should be at waist level when the person is seated. Working at a surface that is too high gives a similar distortion to viewing a movie from the front row, far side. You know how uncomfortable that can be, not only on your neck but on your eyes as well. A rule of thumb is that the reading distance should be no shorter than the length of your forearm. Be good to your eyes, they are the only two you will ever have.

A century of service Canadian Scottish celebrates 100 years with fall festivities Tim Collins News staff

As Capt. Stephen Green (retired) walks through the museum of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) at the Bay Street Armoury, his pride in the regiment and its long history is apparent.

He points out the various artifacts on display in the museum, stressing that these are not just a collection of kilts, medals, swords and firearms.

Rather, they are a testament to the more than 20,000 Greater Victoria residents who have been part of the regiment since its creation 100 years ago.

“These aren’t just souvenirs,” Green says.

“These bits and pieces were used by real people.

“They carried these things with them, sometimes into battle. This is what’s left … and it helps us to remember the real people who sacrificed their talents, energy and often their lives to protect the country they loved.”

It’s appropriate that the selfless legacy of service and sacrifice to which Green refers is remembered on the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

“When the regiment was formed in 1912, 200 men immediately volunteered. By 1914, when the Great War broke out, thousands had joined.

This was at a time when … I’m not sure what the population of Victoria was … but it wasn’t very big. Yet all these men volunteered,” he says.

Photos of smiling soldiers and muddy battlefields are displayed in giant panels in the museum.

“These were very brave men,” Green says.

As a testament to that bravery, the museum also houses a host of medals and some of the

The

42 battle honours awarded to the regiment, including four Victoria Crosses, the nation’s highest military decoration for bravery. In an adjacent display case sits a large white cross, originally placed at Vimy Ridge, and a plaque that lists the names of the men of the regiment who fell in that battle.

About 250 soldiers currently serve as reservists in the regimen reporter@vicnews.com

THANK YOU to all our partners donors and volunteers for helping make our event a huge success!

Anniversary brings chances for public to join celebration The Canadian Scottish Regiment’s 100th anniversary will offer various opportunities for people to share in its members’ pride.

From Oct. 20 to Dec. 2, the Royal B.C. Museum is hosting a special display.

On Sunday (Oct. 21), the Regimental Church Parade will occur at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria, followed by a wreath laying next door in Pioneer Square at noon.

At 1:30 p.m. the full regiment, including members of the Pipes and Drums corps, will don full ceremonial highland uniforms and lead some 200 old guard (former) regimental soldiers and cadets from four Vancouver Island communities for presentation to Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra.

After the Princess, who serves as the ceremonial Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment, inspects the troops, a Freedom of the City parade through downtown Victoria will happen at about 3 p.m.

Farquhar role gives Case new challenges Former Intrepid GM enjoying director gig at UVic auditorium

Ian Case, photographed here on a downtown Victoria roof in 2004, says he is excited about his new role as director of the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium.

In April 2012, the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium brought on Ian Case as its director. A better choice could not have been made.

Case comes with an impressive list of accomplishments and a reputation for imagination and excellence. For 10 years he was the driving force behind Intrepid Theatre and the Victoria Fringe Festival, having built the latter to where it is now the Island’s largest theatrical event.

During his tenure with Intrepid he worked tirelessly, dedicating his expertise, energy and enthusiasm to a monumental capital campaign that resulted in the theatre’s first dedicated spaces at the Intrepid Theatre Club and the Metro Studio. Those small theatre spaces have now become central to independent theatre and dance in Victoria.

Case was also responsible for Uno Fest, Intrepid’s solo performance festival. Now in its 15th year, Uno Fest thrived under Case’s direction, growing into the longest-running festival of its kind in Canada.

Still, for all of his success with Intrepid, the new challenges offered at the Farquhar Auditorium have Case excited about his new role.

“UVic is a different world, and a much larger organization,” Case said. “There are 17,000 students here and working with that community is a challenge, but so is the job of working with the larger community. The auditorium is as much the general public’s as it is the University’s.”

Case says he will be encouraging other community organizations to make use of the space and will also be exploring the possibility of bringing in a greater number of commercial presentations. “I’d like to see more of that,” he said. “But we have to bal-

ance that against the many needs of the University for the same space.”

Case’s initial productions at the Farquhar Auditorium have already been met with rave reviews. The Access Theatre Company recently presented The Number 14, a physical comedy that was described as part Mr. Bean, part Monty Python, and wholly entertaining.

In November, Case is staging The International Guitar Night, bringing together some of the world’s greatest acoustic guitarists in a public concert setting.

But the busyness of the new gig doesn’t mean Case doesn’t miss Intrepid Theatre work.

“The Intrepid is a jewel and the people there are wonderful,” he said. “But you have to balance your work with your family and I was losing time with them.”

Case said that he will not miss the difficult, stressful and time-consuming parts of his role at Intrepid that focussed more on funding as opposed to theatre.

“There is never enough funding at the

B.C. Arts Council and during that period of 2009 to this year when the gaming funding disappeared, it meant that we had to make a lot of difficult decisions.” He said that the funding is back now, but it left a “three-year hole” in the development of talent in administration and performance art.

Not having to chase funding is allowing Case to focus on the Farquhar Auditorium’s programs, as well as giving him the time and energy to stay involved with other non-profit theatre projects with which he’s become associated.

“I still have Giggling Iguana Productions; we’re doing Dracula at Craigdarroch Castle until Halloween. I’ll also be working with [the] Victoria Shakespeare Society in the coming year and I’d like to stay involved with the William Head Players.” The latter group hosts productions out of the federal prison in Metchosin.

Case’s primary focus, however, is now the University of Victoria.

“I’m really excited to be here,” he said.

“It’s already given a chance to try some new concepts and it’s only the beginning. I’ll be developing partnerships with the community, trying new ideas and giving this position my all.”

A different onstage experience A unique performance that combines music with dance, opera and the spoken word is coming to Victoria.

It’s called A Man Laments, and the creator of the show, Diane Kelly, describes it as “an emotional musical drama,” although she says that it might just as easily be classed as a pocket opera.

The production features well-known composer and pianist Lubomyr Melnyk, who composed the music for the show. The production also embraces the operatic voices of Kelly and Gary Rowbotham, while Royal Johnston appears in an acting role and Mellta Swift contributes the dance sequences.

“It’s a production in many

formats that defies a traditional classification,” Melnyk said of the show. “One might call it a mini opera but that wouldn’t be exactly accurate either. It’s really a new type of experience.”

The story is a “work of conscience,” he added. “It involves one man turning away from war and murder.”

The show is scheduled to take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 and 19 at the Winchester Galleries at 758 Humboldt St. Admission is by donation and space is limited.

More information on the show is available from the gallery by calling Peter Redpath at 250-386-2773, or contacting him by email at peter@ winchestergalleriesltd.com. reporter@vicnews.com

Victoria nixed as awards head to Winnipeg Region guesses at reasons for lost bid Roszan Holmen News staff

Kyara Kahakauwila has her suspicions about why Victoria lost its bid to host the 2014 Juno Awards to Winnipeg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating, as a committee member putting in two years,â&#x20AC;? said Kahakauwila, vice-president of the Capital Region Music Awards Society, which submitted the bid.

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences was tightlipped about its reasoning.

Kahakauwila, however, suspects two factors may have contributed to the academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on an island,â&#x20AC;? she said,

citing a perception of added difficulty and expense to cross the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.â&#x20AC;?

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. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twice hosted the Junos despite being across the water and having an arena of a similar size.

The board of directors balanced all â&#x20AC;&#x153;relevant and collateral factorsâ&#x20AC;? in its decision, said Academy president Melanie Berry in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While each bid remains confidential, Victoria put in an excellent bid package,

but was not the winning bid to host the 2014 Juno Awards.â&#x20AC;?

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 this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the groundwork is already done,â&#x20AC;? Kahakauwila said, adding the board is grateful for the financial commitment from the province and most municipalities in

HarbourCats will claw way into 2013 West Coast League Travis Paterson News staff

ictoria’s newest sports franchise looks to land on its feet in 2013 as the HarbourCats.

The name and logo of the amateur status West Coast League baseball team, which uses top NCAA and collegiate level players during a short summer schedule, was introduced on Friday (Oct. 12), to much anticipation since the club was officially announced in June.

“We feel the name fits the geography of the region, a nod to the importance and beauty of Victoria’s Inner Harbour and, with other team names in the West Coast League,” said general manager Holly Jones.

The colour scheme is dark navy blue text with the cat and its fangs in “deep aqua blue,” A matching V logo, for Victoria, will be featured as the team’s secondary graphic.

So where does HarbourCats stack up with Victoria’s nicknames of old? It doesn’t.

Lacrosse’s Shamrocks and hockey’s Cougars, currently in use, date back to the 1950s and prior. New

Victoria HarbourCats

The new Victoria HarbourCats baseball team name and logo, as announced Oct. 12. club names such as hockey’s Victoria Royals (2011) and Grizzlies (2006), and soccer’s Victoria Highlanders (2008), are also cut from the traditional mold.

HarbourCats stands apart, using a modern trend known as CamelCase, says Toronto-based design analyst Chris Creamer.

“The popular term for this type of font (HarbourCats) is CamelCase, as the word mimics the humps on a camel’s back,” says the self-made sports logo expert and proprietor of sportslogos.net. It was Creamer who was the first to discover and post the Royals WHL logo on his website in 2011, days before it was officially released.

Creamer pointed out that picking a team name with CamelCase is saying to the public “this is a minor league team with minor league branding and we’re not going to bother trying to hide it.”

However, as Jones has pointed out, the HarbourCats are the WCL’s third team with such a name, joining the Wenatchee AppleSox and Kitsap BlueJackets. There are a dozen more minor league teams from across North America to use the CamelCase style in their name in the past three years.

But nobody is mistaking Royal Athletic Park, the HarbourCats’ home, as a big league venue.

“We wanted a team name and

logo that accomplished a number of things,” said owner John McLean. “It needed to be bold and edgy, while looking sharp on uniforms, merchandise, the web, advertising and social media.”

HarbourCats was one of the over 600 submissions received by the team from the name-the-team contest, in which the initial 250 name suggestions, plus another five randomly drawn names, were awarded a pair of tickets to a 2013 home game.

The name of the submitter has not been revealed as it was not a grand prize, winner takes all contest.

“We felt this was the most appropriate submission, and one that worked well on all fronts,” said Jones.

The WCL is a wood bat summer league populated with collegiate level players from across North America. Medford, Ore. (yet to be named) also joins the WCL, which expands to 11 teams for 2013. The inaugural HarbourCats season begins the first week of June 2013 and runs through mid-August, with 27 home games at RAP and 27 away games. Next is the design of the team uniforms, hats and the team mascot. sports@vicnews.com

Extra effort puts Grizzlies into first place Fitzgerald brothers rise to opposition Travis Paterson News staff

Overtime can be a beautiful thing in hockey, especially when the home team wins. And especially because it clears the ice for the Fitzgerald triplets to take advantage of the extra ice made available with four skaters aside in the first over time and three aside in the second overtime.

And they did just that, with Myles Powell scoring in the first OT on Sunday (from Gerry Fitzgerald) to edge the visiting Alberni Bulldogs 3-2, and Myles Fitzgerald scoring in double OT on Friday to burn the Penticton Vees.

“We learned a valuable lesson (on the weekend), how good teams are and how hard you have to work to be successful,” head coach Bill Bestwick said.

Powell’s goal capped the Grizzlies’ shining weekend of hockey.

Beating the Bulldogs (7-5-2) puts the Grizzlies (8-4-1) into first in the Island division, one point up on the Bulldogs. Beating the leagueleading and reigning national champion Vees (10-2-1) reestablishes the Grizz among the BCHL best, and erases the three-game losing streak to Nanaimo, Coquitlam and Powell

River.

“Penticton was probably the best junior-A a game I’d seen in two years,” Bestwick said.

“Alberni played a perfect road game; I tip my cap to them how good they played. I’m going to tell their coach what a great game they played and I hope he accepts it as a respectful thing.”

The wins are also proof positive that the diminutive Fitzgerald triplets have arrived as a top line in the BCHL, able to carry a team against the league’s best.

On Friday Myles Powell and Blake Thompson put the Grizz up 2-1 before Wade Murphy, a Saanich native, tied it for the Vees. The score remained 2-2 until Myles Fitzgerald scored an unassisted goal during the three-on-three, double overtime.

Then on Sunday it was Gerry Fitzgerald carrying the sweet stick.

Gerry earned the first assist on all three Grizzlies goals as his team mounted a third period comeback and overcame the the Bulldogs’ 2-0 lead. He set up a Myles for a wrist shot goal three minutes in, drew a defender to the corner and slid it to the net for a Leo Fitzgerald tap-in at 14 minutes. In overtime Gerry drew a defender to the left corner and fired a perfect pass to Powell, who was barreling towards the net unchecked, and buried it under the diving body of goalie Brad

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vic half marathon fastest in B.C. When combined, the results from the GoodLife Fitness Victoria half marathon make it the most competitive half marathon in B.C. B.C. Athletics approved the ranking based on the times of the top 20 men and women from the Victoria half marathon on Oct. 7.

Natasha Fraser of Port Moody set the women’s course record in the half marathon, breaking her own 2011 record, with a time of one hour, 14 minutes and six seconds.

Westshore Rebels mainland bound The V.I. Raiders throttled the Westshore Rebels 57-7 in Nanaimo on Saturday to end the B.C. junior Football Conference regular season.

With the win the Raiders remain undefeated for the second straight year, and finish atop the league standings. They’ll host the Okanagan Sun in a semifinal playoff game. The Rebels will play the Langley Rams in the other semifinal, Saturday (Oct. 20) in Langley.

Rebels running back Greg Morris was held to 56 yards rushed, and was held back from the 122 yards he needed to set the BCFC season rushing record.

Raiders quarterback Jordan Yantz threw 14 passes for 226 yards and five touchdowns.

“In the first and second we had a lot of chances we didn’t bury and we were frustrated,” Gerry said.

Hidden from the announced Sunday crowd of 936 was some secondperiod negativity on the bench, but the frustrations were displayed for all when Turner Lawson was sent off for a blow to the head, which

came amid skirmish which surely would have been a line brawl 10 years ago.

“We were the beneficiary of the scheduling with Alberni playing (their third game in three days),” Bestwick said. “But Penticton came in here the day before and there was no benefits or disadvantages to either team.”

The junior B hockey Victoria Cougars have yet to lose in regulation through 13 games.

Thursday the Westshore Wolves visit, 7 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

The Cougars won back-to-back wins over the Kerry Park Islanders this past weekend. The Wolves shutout the Saanich Braves 3-0 and have won their last four road games.

Rugby in the rain nothing new Canada, Argentina to meet Saturday Travis Paterson News staff

If the Americas Rugby Championship is going to benefit one country more than the other three, it’s Canada.

The hosts defeated Uruguay, 28-10 on Friday, Day 1 of the three-game ARC tournament. Tournament favourites Argentina outclassed the Americans 39-3 under the pouring rain of the first game of the Friday double-header at Westhills Stadium in Langford.

For Canada, which remained 13th in the International Rugby Board rankings on Monday, the tournament schedule presents a steady climb in terms of opposition. Uruguay is ranked 21st, while Tuesday’s (Oct. 16) opponent, U.S.A., is ranked 17th, and Argentina, who Canada will face on Saturday, is ranked eighth.

“I’m happy with Friday’s result. A win is good but there is lots to work on,” said Kieran Crowley, head coach of Canada’s senior men’s program.

“We couldn’t build any momentum.

In the first half we kicked away too much ball and we didn’t build a lot of pressure,” said the former New Zealand All Black. “Then in the second half we played 20 minutes down a man (due to separate 10 minute sin bins to centre Nick Blevins and No. 8 Tyler Ardron).”

Down 3-0 early, Ardron, the captain, gave Canada a boost with an interception and 50-yard run back for a try. For-

ward Patrick Parfrey scored another try minutes later and by the 10-minute mark Connor Braid had hit a penalty conversion to make it 12-3.

The Canadians never looked back, despite a punch-up and the subsequent sin bins.

“We were pretty fired up playing at home,” Braid said.

“It’s pretty cool having all the friends and family here,” said the 22-year-old, a James Bay Athletic Association member and a 2008 Oak Bay High graduate.

“I was a little nervous before the game. You don’t want to let anybody down, but we played a pretty decent game and good start to the tournament.”

The Canadian roster is built with just a few veterans from past international squads, with injured scrum half Sean White, 24, another James Bay player and Oak Bay grad, one of two RWC 2011 veterans, along with prop Hubert Buydens of the Castaway Wanderers.

White is day-to-day with a fractured bone in his thumb, something he should be able to play with against U.S.A. on Tuesday (results of which were past press time) and Argentina on Saturday. But it’s also the type of injury that could be made worse, said Crowley.

“The thumb is something he suffered during training. We don’t want to compromise White for the upcoming November test tour, so we’ll see what the doctors say.”

Kyle Armstrong, an Ontario player and former member of Oak Bay’s Castaway Wanderers, played just fine at

ARC final day Saturday at Westhills Stadium: U.S.A. vs. Uruguay, 5:30 p.m.

Canada vs. Argentina, 7:30 p.m.

scrum half but three internationals in eight days is a lot of high-impact rugby.

Quite a few changes will be made for Tuesday, with a lot of young players ready to debut.

Crowley’s use of the team is to build towards the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.

Weather wise, the Westhills Stadium turf held up well under Friday’s downpours, a test for one of the few artificial playing surfaces approved by IRB. The rain didn’t stop Braid from hitting three penalties and two try conversions. He estimated his longest kick, from near centre, at about 45 yards.

After the match Braid stood at the sidelines signing autographs. His soaking wet arms covered not in dirt, but with smudges of the black rubber beads that lay below the green turf.

“We play in rain five months of the year, so that’s no different, but obviously the ball won’t kick as far. The nice thing is it’s not muddy.”

B.C. Rugby Union men’s results from Saturday (Oct. 13): Meraloma RC defeated the Castaway Wanderers 20-13; UBC Old Boy Ravens defeated James Bay 22-18; Bayside defeated UVic Vikes 24-22. Women’s results: UBC defeated UVic Vikes 10-5. sports@vicnews.com

Mount Douglas Rams receiver Marcus Davis is grabbed by W.J. Mouat Hawks linebacker Clovis Lumeka during the Rams visit to Abbotsford on Saturday. The Hawks won 52-49.

Hawks runner burns Rams Receiver Brian Dowds caught two touchdown passes and running back Mason Swift rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as the Mount Douglas Rams fell 52-49 to the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday.

The star of the day was Hawks’ running back Maleek Irons, who finished with a mind-boggling 491 rushing yards on 48 carries.

“Hats off to Mouat – they played a whale of a football game,” Rams coach Mark Townsend said. “And Maleek Irons, boy, is he ever the real deal.”

The Rams final home game is Friday at Royal Athletic Park, against West Vancouver, 1 p.m. juniors and 3:30 p.m. seniors.

Belmont Bulldogs edge Holy Cross The Belmont Bulldogs secured their first win of the season, 21-15 over the Holy Cross Crusaders at Belmont on Saturday.

Running backs Jordan Worth and Sam Varao each broke the 100-yard mark and combined for three touchdowns. The Bulldogs (1-2) travel to Richmond to face the Hugh Boyd Trojans on Friday. sports@vicnews.com

Design suppliers hit target The door is locked, but there is clearly activity inside the shop at 1111 Fort St. Jan Wallace, co-proprietor of the Trade Source Design Center, leaves a client to welcome the visitor into an airy space that appears one part retail, one part lending library.

Fabric samples Don Descoteau neatly sorted Biz Beat by colour and manufacturer line one wall, while flooring displays, rugs and drapery hardware are interspersed with well-lit scenes combining various products.

A client holding a cluster of full-sized fabric samples – not merely swatches – approaches a binder on the large counter in the middle of one half of the showroom. Wallace instructs her how to sign out the samples, which may well wind up spread across someone’s kitchen table.

If it seems like a lending library, it is.

“We have 70,000 fabrics that they could possibly choose from,” Wallace says.

Make no mistake, this is not a retail shop catering to customers off the street.

Wallace and business partner Phil Burton, both of whom are also wholesale reps, opened the centre earlier this year to help

professional designers avoid the cost and hassle of making a trip to the mainland to deal with wholesale suppliers.

Linda Hutchinson with Oak Bay-based Design One Stevens is working with Wallace this day on a big job. Hutchinson is “stoked” at having so many options available to bring quickly to clients.

“This is like being in a candy store for a designer,” she says.

Wallace and Burton host a grand opening at the shop tomorrow (Oct. 18) between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and 5 to 8 p.m.

For more information, call 250-818-8336 or visit tradesourcedesigncenter.com.

Designer Linda Hutchinson, left, and Jan Wallace, co-owner of Trade Source Design Center, go over some samples in the centre’s showroom on Fort Street.
