A REGION

UNITED

PART 3 OF 5

Driving from one job in Saanich to another in Victoria, Mike Miller describes the varying development bylaws he needs to remember each time he builds a new home in the Capital Region.

“There’s really nothing the same between each municipality,” says

Miller, Victoria president of the Urban Development Institute and local residential developer.

“You apply for rezoning, apply for a development permit, go through council, but there isn’t one system or set of processes.”

Miller is an example of local business owners who struggle with a mixed bag of bureaucracy across the region’s 13 municipalities on a

daily basis.

Members of real estate boards, chambers of commerce and industry professionals quietly lament the inefficiencies of the current system, while local politicians get distracted by the immediate needs of their taxpayers.

Amalgamation advocate John Vickers counts himself among the voters who had hoped things

would change after the 2011 municipal elections.

“There were a multitude of community discussion groups popping up on their own around amalgamation … people who just didn’t feel their voice was heard,” he says.

GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE - Wednesday, April 10, 2013

Group focuses on amalgamation vote, while visions still vary among membership experts. For a complete list, see amalgamationyes.ca.

The society hosts its first public meeting tonight (April 10) at their newly leased office at 577 Pembroke St. Plans to appoint a board of directors are well underway.

“We are expecting membership into the hundreds, if not thousands,” Vickers says. “I have yet to find anyone at any of my Daniel Palmer talks who said they wanted to Reporting keep 13 municipalities.”

While member opinions vary on what amalgamation should Continued from Page A1 look like, Amalgamation Yes is focused on one goal for the Victoria Coun. Shellie Gudgeon time being: asking voters what and others began holding public they think at the 2014 municipal talks on regional government elections. last year after many of the “If we can have a loud, clear region’s mayors failed to identify voice at the ballot box, that amalgamation as a priority. people want change … the Autonomous citizen groups eventually found one another, and onus is then on the provincial government to respond,” Vickers after much discussion, they have says. emerged as a non-profit society If voters give a thumbs up to known as Amalgamation Yes. study amalgamation, it would “The mission is to achieve implore municipal councillors more effective governance,” and the provincial government Gudgeon says. to begin work on specifics, “This has been an experience says society of amalgamating the co-founder Mat amalgamators (and) “I have yet to find Wright. it’s not been easy. anyone at any of my “Until we have Our group is a living talks who said they a comprehensive example that we study, it’s kind can achieve success wanted to keep 13 of irrelevant by listening to municipalities.” to come up each other and by with maps and working together.”

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

John Vickers of Amalgamation Yes is among those who hope to see voters across the region get the opportunity to choose whether they support further investigation into amalgamation.

Wright believes opposition isn’t going to come from the public, but rather “the city managers and senior bureaucrats who are afraid of losing their jobs.”

The group also hopes to debunk the idea that amalgamation will only benefit the core communities, by pointing to initiatives from West Shore and Peninsula councillors.

Colwood Coun. Sheri Lukens has ignited a discussion

that could lead to a study of the potential benefits of amalgamation in her region.

Lukens stresses the study would need to be approved by residents at the ballot box in 2014.

“Colwood and View Royal basically have a regionalized fire department and it works beautifully,” she says. “The regionalization of services is a good start, but how do

you rationalize saying ‘let’s amalgamate?’ You need a business case and we don’t have that yet.”

Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney have also been batting around ideas on shared resources. However, talks with senior staff are in the early stages and no mayors will move forward without benefit to their community, says Sidney Mayor Larry Cross.

“The other side of this is access,” he says. “People get to me pretty readily in the town of Sidney right now. If your organization is too big, you’re kept from meeting with the public.”

Provincial and federal funding would also be easier to access without competition from other municipalities, Wright says.

“When you increase the population size over 100,000, the municipality can then apply for federal grants without having to go through the CRD. There’s only one municipality out of the 13 that can do that right now and that’s Saanich.”

For now, Amalgamation Yes members are focused on creating dialogue with dissenters and supporters alike. They hope to definitively show what residents of Greater Victoria think of amalgamation in 2014.

“I just know there’s a better way of governing ourselves,” Vickers says.

In Part 4 of the series, the News talks to residents about what worries them most about the idea of an amalgamated Capital Region. dpalmer@vicnews.com

In 1950, there were only four municipalities in Greater Victoria: Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Saanich and Victoria. By 1988, there were 10. Langford, Highlands and Sooke carved out their own borders in the 1990s to round out the current 13 municipalities.

A truck crosses the Craigflower Bridge connecting Esquimalt, View Royal and Saanich. Early this morning, the bridge closed to vehicle traffic for the duration of construction.

Deconstruction starts today

Kyle Slavin News staff

Old and grey the Craigflower Bridge is on its way to demolition today, April 10.

The connecting piece between View Royal and Saanich isn’t as bright or colourful as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, nor does it come with the controversy of Victoria’s Johnson Street Bridge. But it’s expected the 110-metre-long, 80-year-old Craigflower Bridge will be missed – at least for the time being.

Just before 5 a.m. this morning, the last vehicle crossed the old bridge, as it was permanently closed to mark the start of an eight-month replacement project.

Tillicum Road is expected to

bear the brunt of the traffic that’s diverted from the closure. Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s manager of capital works, says a number of traffic lights on both sides of the Gorge will be reprogrammed to help ease congestion.

“No matter how you go about it everyone will be delayed,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard.

Though all the details haven’t been hammered out, Hemstock says a temporary pedestrian bridge is planned. Walkers and cyclists will still have access to the bridge’s east sidewalk for the next few weeks.

Hemstock points to a tight construction schedule and worksite as the biggest challenges.

“We have our approvals from (the Department of) Fisheries and Oceans to work in the water as of April 15, but we have

to be out of the water Sept. 15 before the salmon show up,” he said. “Challenge No. 2 is the steel delivery. It’s a big bridge with quite deep girders and it requires large machines to bend them. There’s not a lot of room there.”

The old, timber-beam bridge will be deconstructed over a period of weeks, as opposed to a quick demolition. It will be replaced by a three-lane steel bridge. Construction is scheduled to be complete on Dec. 1.

Langford super stock driver inducted into hall of fame

We are accepting donations of: Book | CD | DVD for pick-up please call: 250-474-2119

Saturday, April 13, 2013 8am - 7pm Sunday, April 14, 2013 9am - 1pm at 798 Goldstream Avenue Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Hall

ecades after his last time behind the wheel, Langford racer Bobby Collins will take a place in the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame and Museum.

Collins began racing stock cars and super stock cars in 1967. He raced for 10 years, then retired.

Though he got out of the driver’s seat, the 66-year-old started a business building high performance engines. He retired from that in 2005.

“I always thought I was a better engine builder than I was a driver,” said Collins who won the inaugural Vancouver Island Super stock series in 1977. “It was easier to retire because I had just won the championship.”

Half of his life was spent either at the track or in the garage, but now Collins is rarely found at the speedway.

Charla Huber/News staff

Langford resident, Bobby Collins is being inducted into the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame and Museum.

Bill Drummond and Harold Sjostrom are also being inducted into the hall of fame.

The Hitchcox family, Wayne Townsend, Jimmie Isacson and Ken Keating have been selected to be inducted into the pioneers category.

The Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame and Museum will host the induction at Eagle Ridge community centre, 1089 Langford Pkwy on Saturday, April 13 at 1 p.m. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

“When I go watch races, I get itchy,” he said.

John Biggs of Maple Bay also earned a place at the hall of fame, located at Western Speedway.

Biggs never raced cars, but his job on the track was fixing the cars up after a crash.

He worked in the pit and as a mechanic from 1963 to 1977.

“We totalled a lot of cars, so we had to build lots of them,” said the 72-year-old Maple Bay resident.

Recycling the theme for Westshore Earth Day The More Eco than Ever event is April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Westshore Town Centre.

The mall is hosting several activities including banner painting and giving out tree seedlings. Free water bottles will be offered while supplies last.

A recycling centre will be set up for one day only and will accept styrofoam, books, toys, cell phone, eye glasses and more.

OUR VIEW

With bridgework comes gridlock W

hen Craigflower Bridge closes today for at least eight months, for much of the commuting public, it might seem like deja vu all over again.

For three months in the summer of 2009, Saanich rebuilt Admirals Bridge, forcing thousands of drivers to find a new route into Victoria, Esquimalt and Dockyard.

The following year, View Royal began its Island Highway improvement, causing a solid year of Mainland-level commuter gridlock as roadwork pushed hundreds of cars each morning onto the Trans-Canada Highway.

Today another long public infrastructure project begins to cram drivers onto already busy arteries, such as the Trans-Canada, Tillicum Road, Helmcken Road and Island Highway.

Replacing Craigflower Bridge is a project that needs to be done. At 80 years old, it serves around 18,000 vehicles per day and is held up by rickety looking wood timbers. If it wasn’t replaced, it would eventually be closed for fear of falling down.

Much like previous road projects near Admirals-Craigflower, this is a good opportunity for commuters to carpool, try transit or even ride a bike. But much like the previous times, getting people out of their cars is difficult at best – most either change their morning drive times or grit their teeth in heavy traffic.

Besides eventually getting a wider, stronger bridge, there is another bright spot in this rebuild project. Thankfully the bridge owners, Saanich and View Royal, opted to build a temporary pedestrian span rather than the awful but considered idea of busing school kids and the public around the Gorge Waterway.

Having a pedestrian link is at least one saving grace for businesses in the Admirals Walk area, now surviving through a third major infrastructure project. The Admirals Bridge and Island Highway projects cut deep into their bottom lines. The Craigflower replacement will likely do the same.

Residents on the north side of the Gorge should take advantage of the crossing to visit their local merchants for what will likely be another tough year.

The U.S. has its own to change consumption patterns,

shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer.

Converting transport trucks and B.C. Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed.

Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a selffulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

our chairman paid himself $164,140. Our directors’…pay is higher than any co-operative board in Canada…”

This is not about moneymaking efficiency. Most people agree that Coast Capital does a good banking job.

Recently it went paperless – probably a smart management decision. In my local branch, the paper forms and their containing slots and counters disappeared. The place felt empty.

“Can you help me pay Hydro and Mastercard?” I asked a teller. “Sure,” she said. As it turned out, she didn’t know how to do that, but after some scratching around by computer, she figured it out.

“I hope they don’t make any more improvements,” I said.

Arguably, Coast Capital is rejecting co-op status by using three-per-cent-election results to strip members of the power to make such key decisions as no-paper and directors’ pay.

Co-ops are a life-saver.

They give economic strength and protection. Their rules

include these: One member, one vote; any profits are divided between member dividends and contributions to local enterprise and community well-being. Among co-op benefits are lower living costs and better job security.

Credit unions are one kind of co-op. The other kinds include producer co-ops, where the worker-owners manufacture or grow goods for sale; and consumer coops – clusters of stores where members get a discount.

Those two can collaborate together, as in the global Mondragon co-op federation.

Co-ops offer a middle way between capitalism and socialist well-being, in tune with both. The NDP, formerly the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation) would be wise to take a serious look at co-ops within today’s mixed economy.

Some frozen co-ops have been captured by controlling cliques. Coast Capital members should ask themselves if they are in one of those.

LETTERS Poorly lit reflect badly on cyclists Re: Time to crack down on irresponsible cyclists (Letters, April 5) As a cyclists that shines brighter than a Christmas tree when I ride in darker conditions and at night, I appreciate Mr. McMillan’s concerns regarding cyclists’ safety.

As he mentions, it is the few who insist on breaking the law that ruin it for the many, just as it is with motorists who continually break the laws that govern traffic.

Speeders, tailgaters, those who run yellow or red lights, those who continue to drink and drive, those who still text and talk on hand-held devices – the list goes on, and yes, it is the few who reflect poorly on the many.

Education and respect would seem the best solutions to such problems. More enforcement as suggested by Mr. McMillan might be useful for cyclists and motorists

as well. Unfortunately, police resources are already spread very thin and there seems to be little public appetite for higher taxes to increase enforcement.

Suggesting that cyclists lose their bikes for six months when stopped for no light seems a bit harsh. You can be stopped for drinking and driving and receive a slap on the wrist, with as little as a 24-hour roadside suspension.

Cyclists never win in a confrontation with a vehicle, and I agree no motorist should suffer emotionally after an accident with an ill-lit cyclist. But drunk drivers kill. Let’s make the punishment commensurate with the crime.

There are already fines and punishments on the books.

We will never change some people’s irresponsible actions, but hopefully those cyclists who continue to ride darkly in the dark see the light before they end up dead.

See and be seen for cycling safety Although cycling is great fun, it also involves some danger. In North America nearly 800 cyclists die in collisions with motor vehicles each year, and another 24,000 suffer injuries. You can reduce these dangers by following some simple cycling safety tips.

Wear a helmet and wear it properly, not perched on the back of your head. During the day, wear fluorescent clothing and, at night, a functional headlight and reflective stripes on your clothing, helmet and bike will help ensure you are visible from all sides. Flashing red lights which can be attached to your bicycle saddle, backpack or helmet are an excellent and inexpensive way of increasing visibility.

Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays. Remember to replace them at night, with impact-resistant clear sports goggles to protect the eyes from dust, dirt, gravel, and rocks. Contact lenses under protective wrap-around glasses are convenient for those who can wear them. They provide superior peripheral vision. For those who cannot wear contact lenses, Optometrists can provide prescription sunglasses or prescription inserts for cycling goggles. One of your best defenses against bike accidents is sharp vision – so have your eyes examined regularly.

Remember that your bicycle is a vehicle and that you should operate it in a responsible and courteous manner.

JdF bantams win provincials Charla Huber News staff

A group of bantam A players swallowed an NHL player’s record and then took home the big provincial win in double overtime.

That was the second game the team played that day, the semi-finals were played earlier and also ended in a double overtime win.

“Lots of people play hockey for 20 years and never in their live do they win a championship,” said coach Kelly Shields, a former B.C. Hockey league player.

The Juan de Fuca bantam A team dominated the competition and won in double overtime, March 20 in Kelowna.

“It’s really exciting, a lot of the players never had the chance to make the trip to provincials before,” said Shields.

The second year bantam players on the team missed the chance to go to provincials last year when they were knocked out of the semi-finals in the Island championship against Campbell River.

This year to earn the Island title and move on to provincials, the team defeated Campbell River in the finals.

“It was a little redemption for the second years,” said Shields.

This is the first time since 2005 the JdF bantam A team won the Islands. The last time this occurred Tyson Barrie, who now plays in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche, was on the team. That year the team didn’t win provincials.

“This is really historic for Juan de Fuca, they will always be remembered and their names will be in the rafters at Bear Mountain arena,” Shields said. “It’s not easy to win a championship.

The first year players on the team won provincials last year when they were playing peewee.

The other two Juan de Fuca bantam B teams also won Islands in their divisions and moved onto provincials. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

An abandoned couch at the side of Arbutus Road awaits a new owner to take it home, or the municipality to pick it up.

h

Mattresses, televisions, couches, nightstands, lamps and shelving units are regularly abandoned curbside across the region. When municipal garbage crews do the clean up it's a cost to taxpayers.

Russ Smith, senior manager of environmental resources management with the CRD says the 13 municipalities spent roughly $330,000 on labour, trucks and tipping fees, collecting 650 tonnes of illegally dumped roadside junk in 2012. Additionally, unusable items abandoned at charity doors cost organizations.

The waste also has an impact on the environment.

“Illegal dumping can negatively impact wildlife, plants, our ecosystem,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, chair of the CRD's

environmental services committee.

Mike Ippen, Saanich's manager of public works, says illegal dumping extends beyond household furniture.

“A lot of it is gardenrelated: rocks, grass clippings, old bushes that should be taken to the (public works) yard, are dropped in cul-de-sacs or parks,” he said.

The CRD's Abandoned Waste campaign aims to reduce the amount of improperly discarded household junk by 15 per cent this year through educating

the public. The campaign focuses on the three Rs as a way to divert waste from the landfill: reduce, reuse and recycle.

The CRD recommends the best way to reduce abandoned waste is by finding an alternative to just leaving it outside. If you want to get rid of furniture for free, post a free online classified ad (usedvictoria.com for instance), or consider donating the item to a charity.

If the item can't be reused, recycle the item through its proper channels. The CRD's

HOT TICKET The Tumblin’ Dice

NEWS GAZETTE

This is a full out country event so come dressed in your country gear to the Upstairs Cabaret, #15 Bastion Sq., April 11 at 9 p.m.

The Tumblin’ Dice play songs from Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and more of your favourite new country artists. Tickets at TicketZone.com.

Choreographer takes the lead Singin’ in the Rain backed by talented 20-year-old Kyle Slavin News staff

Choreographing a full-length musical is a tough task for anyone.

But when you’re 20 years old and the much-loved Singin’ in the Rain is your first real choreography job, the pressure’s on.

“I don’t like thinking of how big Singin’ in the Rain actually is. That’s a lot of pressure,” said Jana Morrison, choreographer of Kaleidoscope Theatre’s latest production. “I’m pretty young, and I hope that people will enjoy this new, fresh Singin’ in the Rain that I’ve interpreted and given to my dancers. It’s a little scary.”

The Winnipeg native is a very recent grad of the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Morrison’s talents were discovered by Kaleidoscope director Pat Rundell last fall when she choreographed the College’s performance of Molière’s

production that I put in there, which are great, but I really tried to make it fresh and give it my own flair,” she said. “(To choreograph) I just need to listen to the songs and I find any hints that you might need that are key to the song, moves you

The Misanthrope.

Morrison describes the process of choreography, and ultimately teaching the moves to the performers, as a sort of gift.

“I just love to create a dance that feels good in my body, and give it to the dancers. It’s kind of like a gift for them to feel good doing it, as well,” she said.

To prepare for Singin’ in the Rain, Morrison watched and re-watched the 1952 film, starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, intent on pulling some key elements from the on-screen dancing.

“It’s not my favourite thing to just take something and copy it.

There are some moves people will recognize from the movie or stage

can put in there. I do research, watch a bunch of videos that are of the similar style, and then (the dance) kind of comes out of your body.”

Singin’ in the Rain is the 1920s-set story of Hollywood’s shift from silent films to the talkies. Griffin Lea, Joseph Goble and Tara Britt head up the cast in Kaleidoscope’s production.

Director Rundell is also young, at just 23 years old. This is his directorial debut, after having trained at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles.

Kaleidoscope aims to raise $50,000 to help support the theatre program.

Shows run April 12 to 14 at the McPherson Playhouse. Tickets ($60) are available from the Royal McPherson box office or by visiting rmts.bc.ca.

“It’s such a timeless musical that anyone – young, old, musical lover or not – will absolutely love. It’s super fun, super beautiful,” Morrison said. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Cougars go cup hunting Captain is second generation Jr. B player Travis Paterson News staff

As an eight-year-old playing in the Juan de Fuca minor hockey association, Brody Coulter was the type of kid who set his own alarm to wake mom and dad up for 5 a.m. weekday practices.

Twelve years later, you can bet Coulter’s alarm was set bright and early on the eve of his last crack at a provincial championship.

Today (April 10) is travel day for the Victoria Cougars, as the reigning Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League Brody Coulter champions bus to Courtenay for the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial junior B championship, tomorrow (April 11) through Sunday.

Coulter, 20, has captained the team the past two seasons. He’s won trophies as the VIJHL’s top forward in 2011-12 and as the VIJHL’s MVP and scoring leader in 2012-13.

Two weeks ago the Cougars eliminated the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in four games to make it back-to-back Brent Patterson Memorial trophies as VIJHL playoff champs.

John Morrow/Black Press

Brody Coulter, centre, skates into the Abbotsford Pilots net as Pilots goalie Riley Parker deflects a shot during the 2012 Cyclone Taylor Cup championship game.

But there’s one thing still left: the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship.

It’s a trophy that eluded Coulter’s dad, Scott, when he played defence for five seasons on the Island League’s Juan de Fuca Gulls in the 1980s.

“Brody’s definitely more of a goal scorer,” said Scott, of the playing differences between father and son. Scott will attend the Cyclone Cup with wife Hollie, Brody’s

mom. Both are taking time off work to make the trip.

“I was a little grittier, but then, the league was different. When (Brody) was younger, we worked on his hands. I taught him (to play) different than the way I played,” Scott said.

In 1986-87 Scott was named the Island League’s unsung hero, won this year by Cougars forward Mark Walton.

Swedes love it in Victoria Travis Paterson News staff

It was one heck of a trip to Victoria for Team Sweden.

On Sunday night Sweden’s Niklas Edin rink emerged the winner of the 2013 World Men’s Curling Championship, defeating Canada’s Jacobs gang, 8-6 in the gold medal final at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday.

It was the second tournament win in two weeks for Edin and his crew, who won the Victoria Curling Classic two weeks ago at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

“It feels amazing obviously,” Edin said. ”Our big goal this season was to win Europeans and Worlds. We love this city, none of us had been here before. So it’s been a great couple of weeks, a super finish to our time here.”

Sweden’s third Sebastian Kraupp and lead Viktor Kjall sweep the rock with skip Niklas Edin’s guidance.

By making it to the final, Sweden and Canada lead Scotland (Great Britain), Norway, Denmark, China and Switzerland in qualifying for their respective countries for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

The Gulls won the league that season but fell short at provincials, Scott’s only appearance. He and Hollie started dating during the Gulls years. Brody was born in 1992 and grew up in Langford. Scott coached him at Juan de Fuca until he made rep in pee wee.

As a teenager, Brody went back and forth between hockey and baseball. After he won the B.C. Premier Baseball League provincial championship in 2010 playing shortstop and second base for the Victoria Mariners, he nearly made the Nanaimo Clippers of the B.C. Hockey League.

The Cougars invited him out and he excelled. At the start of the 2011-12 year, his second with the team, he was named captain, at just 18 years old. With a core that included current teammates Sam Rice and Walton, among others, Coulter helped lead the team to the Cyclone Taylor Cup 2012 gold medal game. A lucky bounce in overtime won the Abbotsford Pilots that game, and the championship.

Brody hasn’t forgot the feeling.

“You take what you can from last year.

The (Cyclone Taylor Cup) is a tourney where you can’t hold back, you have to go all out from the start.”

One thing the Cougars can count on is their captain being ready.

“We always talked to him about things, about working hard. But he’s always been a hard worker. He’s wanted to improve. We didn’t teach him that,” Scott said.

The Cougars play Game 1 vs. the Richmond Sockeyes tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

The Jacobs rink flew out of the gates this week winning its first five matches and ending up 7-4 through pool play.

It put them in the third vs. fourth game against Denmark on Saturday morning, a team that had beat Canada in the round robin. Canada prevailed over Denmark and defeated Scotland for the second time in the tournament in front of a full house Saturday afternoon.

It put Canada in the final for the second-straight Victoriahosted World Men’s Championship, though Sweden disrupted the string of golds won by Canada and Scotland.

Sweden opened with final game with two rocks in the first end as skip Edin delivered a nose-hit on a Canadian stone.

Canada hung in until the sixth end when Jacobs missed a crucial takeout attempt. The Swedes took a 6-3 lead and expanded it to 8-4 in the eighth end.

“We were chasing. They got a good start with a deuce, and that’s not how you want to start off the world championship final. You want to force them,” Jacobs said. “We weren’t able to do that. The first end was looking so good, (then) it was so bad by the time it was over with, it just was frustrating to swallow.”

Scotland defeated Denmark 7-6 in the bronze medal game. sports@vicnews.com

Bowling clubs open their doors Lakehill Lawnbowling Club is holding its annual open house Saturday (April 13) at 1:30 p.m.

Visitors to the historic club, which is situated on the south end of Reynolds Park, will be offered a chance to try the game out.

“There’s a social life that goes with the game, it runs all year,” said Lakehill spokesperson Haji Charania.

The Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling Club is celebrating its 90th season this spring with an open house on Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m. at Belleville and Douglas streets.

“We welcome all our neighbours, regardless of age, ability or experience to drop by and try out the

sports of lawn bowling, croquet or bocce,” said spokesperson Lorne Carnes.

Cake and refreshments will be served.

The Victoria Lawn Bowling Club in Beacon Hill Park is holding its annual Novice Tea Day on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Members will introduce guests to the sport of lawn bowling.

The VLBC is a fun, friendly and social club. Members range in age from 13 to 90-plus years. Lawn bowling provides gentle exercise and social activity. It is both competitive and non-competitive, producing national-calibre players. sports@vicnews.com

Harvey to call RAP home

Numbers up for Rink of Dreams The recent Macquarie Rink of Dreams charity hockey event raised its highest total since it started in 2011, donating just shy of $120,000 to Help Fill a Dream.

The 24-hour hockey game at Bear Mountain Arena, ran March 23 to 24.

Player entries, raffles and a silent auction brought in just shy of $60,000.

Each year the funds raised is matched by the Macquarie Foundation.

“We’re quite pleased to see it bounce back up after it dropped from $52,000 ($104,000) in year one to $44,000 ($88,000) in year two,” said organizer Harp Sandhu of Macquarie Investments.

Rink of Dreams has happened in March for its first three years but Sandhu and co-ordinators are looking at moving it to September for 2014.

“It’s a serious consideration based on initial feedback, with the event falling tentatively on the third weekend of September,” Sandhu said.

Though there were a lot of new teams participating this season a number of past participating teams did not return due to spring break, and general sense of being “hockey’d out.”

“Even though the weather was great (for March), the thinking is it could be that much better at the beginning of the hockey season, in September, when we know the weather is sensational.”

The giant cat will patrol the stands of Royal Athletic Park’s baseball diamond this summer as the HarbourCats play their inaugural baseball season in the colle-

Hep cats unite.

When Harvey the hipster HarbourCat debuted as the newest mascot on the Victoria scene, he brought a hip flavour to the Hotel Rialto meet and greet.

Harvey wore a blazer, ironic bowtie, and over-

giate level West Coast League.

“Harvey is a doubleXL size in men’s clothes so this outfit is just one of many we can put on him,” said HarbourCats general manager Holly Jones.

“The point was to make it easy to shop for him, so he can wear a baseball outfit or regular outfit at RAP.” Hep cat or harbour rat, the mascot had been booked for 40 community events even before he showed his furry face in Victoria.

There to greet him at his unveiling was three of the city’s 40 or so sports and corporate mascots, including the de facto leader of them all, Marty the Marmot.

Thunder from the UVic Vikes was also there, as was Striker, the kilted dog of the Highlanders FC soccer team. Striker and Harvey kicked off an immediate love-hate relationship as soon-to-be roommates at RAP. They shadowboxed.

And then they hugged.

There’s more than enough room for a giant cat and a giant dog to share RAP, Jones said.

“Our outfield fence folds up, and it doesn’t take long, so it would be logistically possible to hold a Highlanders and HarbourCats game on the same day.

Though there aren’t any scheduled.”

The name Harvey was the overwhelming choice by respondents to the club’s recent name-the-mascot contest.

To select a winner, the names of all the contestants who suggested Harvey were put into a hat.

Julie MacDonald’s name was pulled out for the grand prize, a pair of season tickets.

Aniko Varga and Maggie Hayes were runners up in the contest, and each won a 10-game Flex Pack.

Single game tickets are now on sale through the club’s website harbourcats.com.

WCL baseball season starts June 5. sports@vicnews.com
