Junior Bulldogs win two Belmont secondary basketball teams faced some challenging competition last week. The senior boys lost to Oak Bay – ranked sixth in B.C. – last Tuesday. A poor start had them facing an early 13-point deficit. Unfortunately, crawling to within one point was as close as they would come. Thursday the team escaped Spectrum with their sixth league win to improve to 6-2. Another slow start had them down 12 in the third quarter until Owen Vaags and Dan Massy took over, leading the way for a Belmont 18-2 run on route to a 77-70 victory. Braden Henson kept the guys alive early on. The Belmont junior girls added two wins last week. Tuesday, they fought back from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat St. Michael’s University School 35-30. Isla Swanwick had a gritty performance hauling down 34 rebounds along with a team-leading 14 points, while Claire Joyce and Frelen Gorst played
tough defence down the stretch. Thursday Bulldogs defeated Spectrum 58-26 in a balanced team effort that saw
all 10 players score at least once. Lindsay Hargreaves, Hannah Allen had her top point total for the season with 18 points, while Swanwick

West Shore Poppy Fund Committee And the ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Langford Branch No. 91 Wishes to express their BELATED gratitude and appreciation to Legion members, volunteers, citizens, businesses, schools, churches, Army, Sea and Air Cadets, the NLCC Admiral Falls Navy League, the Girl Guides Brownies, Pathfinders and Boy Scouts in the West Shore Community for their good work collecting donations and to all others who in any way contributed to the 2012 Poppy Campaign. With your support and generosity the Campaign raised $75,394.03. Donations are still trickling in. It is this generosity that enables the Legion to ensure that our veterans and their dependants are cared for and treated with the respect that they deserve. For this we are sincerely grateful. The moneys received during the 2012 Campaign will be used during months, October 2012 thru to September 2013, the Poppy Fund’s fiscal year. We cannot give you a thorough report for this period yet. So what did we do with your 2011 Campaign donations of $71,378.16, during the 2011/12 fiscal year: $25,000 for support to the Broadmead Care Foundation, Priory Hospital, the WesCom Medi-Lend Society, the West Shore Adult Day Care Centre, and the Cockrell House. $5,000 to the Veterans Transition Program. $6,000 donated to the Brock Fahrni Pavilion and George Derby Centre. $7,061.24 was spent on poppies, wreaths and other supplies, primarily for the 2011 campaign. Material prices increase regularly and are beyond our control. We do what we can to keep costs down by salvaging, repairing and reusing donation boxes and other items, rather than by buying replacements every year. $8,804.40 was used for emergency assistance. $5,492.30 annual assessment based on 15% of previous year balance to Royal Canadian Legion British Columbia/Yukon Command. $6,000 supported four local cadet organizations. $5,000 for bursaries to students pursuing programs in universities and colleges. $2972.40 was paid for Canada Post

$2000.00 was used to rent office and storage space for these supplies. $1682.70 was used to support the elementary, middle and high schools Poster and Literary Contests in the West Shore area. The Poppy Fund is proud to announce that this year’s competition produced three firstplace winning entries that will advance to the Provincial competition where the winning entries will then compete at the National level. $488.02 was used to pay utility charges; $450.00 for liability insurance; $795.16 for Campaign and office supplies; $784.00 for poppy boxes; $610.90 for advertising; $175.50 for Campaign gas/transportation; $277.97 for postage and coin wrappers. All moneys donated to the Poppy Campaign are placed in a special trust account. Expenditures must be agreed upon by the Poppy Committee and then must be approved by the general membership of the Branch. And, all special and major expenditures are subject to a further level of approval by the Legion’s British Columbia Command. The proceedings and decisions of the committee and the branch are subjected to both internal and external audit on an annual basis. Our Legion members and volunteers dedicate many hundreds of hours to the Annual Poppy Campaign and managing the money you entrust to us. We care deeply about supporting our veterans, our youth and other community members who need help.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! Prince Edward Branch 91, 761 Station Ave, Victoria, BC V9B 7H6
