During the summer after Graham Landells finished Grade 9 at Oak Bay High, a pivotal moment came for the teen. He had spent a week volunteering at the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health, where he was working with a disabled child who was learning to ride a bicycle. “He was struggling the whole week to get on two wheels, then finally on the last day he did and rode by himself,” Landells said. “My heart just melted while his mother sobbed.” That was the moment Landells, now 18 and a University of Victoria Graham student, knew that his volunteer Landells efforts were about more than building a resumé. That same year Landells, then a part of Youth Against Cancer Club, Oak Bay Youth Outreach, as well as the track and field and soccer clubs, was recognized with a Young Exceptional Star Award from the District of Oak Bay. For six years the awards have been given to Oak Bay students in Grades 6 through 10 who strive for excellence within their schools and broader communities, often overcoming adversities to achieve their goals. This year, Landells returned to the event as the keynote speaker and addressed a new group of high achieving youth nominated for the recognition. The awards, celebrated May 8 at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre Sports View Lounge, are based on volunteerism across an array of fields and commitment to a range of artistic, sporting and academic excellence.

Freezing history at the end of the Earth Royal B.C. Museum conservator lends expertise in preserving Scott’s century-old Antarctic base
S
ome researchers sense the hundred year old ghosts in Robert Falcon Scott’s hut in Antarctica. For Victoria’s Jana Stefan, the building is a living museum, a place of comfort in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world. Stefan, an exhibit arts technician with the Royal B.C. Museum, returned from Antarctica at the end of February, completing her second six-month stint as part of a team working to preserve Scott’s base at Cape Evans on Ross Island. Stepping into Scott’s hut was a dream come true for the 34-year-old conservator who grew up hearing the stories of turn-of-the-century explorers like Ernest Shackelton and Roald Amundsen. “I loved being in the Edward Hill hut. A lot of people Reporting talk about ghosts, but I never got the heebiejeebies, but I do feel a presence,” Stefan says. “It’s a powerful space. There’s a lot of personal things, socks, sweaters with name tags. It’s cozy, personalized. “The first time I went into the hut ... I got it to myself for 15 minutes. I wasn’t even through the door and I was bawling. The energy is so thick in the room. I know the story is a tragedy, but nine-tenths of the time it was a fabulous boys’ adventure. “Seeing the way it was set up, I’m familiar with the stories but being really in the space, it’s overwhelming,” Stefan lead a small team of conservators from October to February in the ongoing effort to catalogue, photograph and preserve the thousands of items left behind at Scott’s base for his ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition. Starving and freezing, Scott and four other men died on their return trek from the South Pole in March 1912. The preservation project, run by the New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust, is attempting to preserve four bases from the early British expeditions. Buildings created by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who led the first team to the South Pole in December 1911, fell from an ice shelf into the ocean long ago. Scott’s hut at 10 meters wide by 25

There’s the Trans-Antarctic Mountains and big glaciers and an active volcano. If the ice breaks up, penguins cruise by. There’s orcas and all kinds of seals. I love it. I like to work in remote places.” Stefan’s experience at Scott’s hut allowed her to consult with the American Museum of Natural History to a create scale recreation of the building, which will be part of the RBCM’s “Race to the End of the Earth” exhibition opening May 17. The RBCM exhibition will give insights to both men’s preparations and motivations, – and explore the controversial notion the expeditions were “racing.” Stefan suspects she won’t be returning to Antarctica anytime soon, and her one regret was not sleeping in Scott’s hut, although nobody does. “I’m going to ask the museum if I can spend a night in the fake hut.” Check out explore.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca for more on the RBCM’s Race to the End of the Earth. editor@saanichnews.com

Art blooms in summer sun Artishow 2013 kicks off this month News staff
As the flowers bloom in the warm summer sun of Greater Victoria, so too will the art such beauty inspires. Nearly 40 artists will be working out of and showcased by hotels throughout Greater Victoria from now until the end of October for the third annual Artishow Victoria. The event kicked off on Wednesday, May 1 at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel with a reception featuring the event’s organizers and the featured artists. “Art is an integral part of our community, and our life,” said Oak Bay Tourism director Hazel Braithwaite. “They basically took the concept from a blank canvas to what it is today, a full fledged painting – planning it out, adding brush strokes and layers to it, and every year it gets better and better and bigger and bigger.” Throughout the six months, eight hotels will host an artist in residence, typically one per month, per hotel, along with other art-centric events. The Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites will be hosting Art Lunches and the Fairmont Empress will host the Plein Air events, which will see local artists painting on hotel grounds every Sunday from June 30 to Sept. 1. Kenna Fair is the artist in residence at the Beach Hotel for the month of May. She will be painting at the hotel from May 15 to 17 and May 22 to 24, and her paintings will be on displayed throughout the month. Raised on the West Coast and now a resident of Galiano Island, Fair’s work focuses on the ocean and its inhabitants, above and below the water. She said the event is beneficial to artists because it connects them to other industries, such as tourism. “Exposure. I get to meet people that don’t run in similar circles,” Fair said. “That kind of stuff is priceless for an artist, particularly if you’re trying to make a living.” Many of Fair’s paintings are split between life above the water and life below the water, sometimes with interaction looming. In one piece an eagle is approaching the water, talons out, while underneath the water a salmon swims,

Plans to relocate the Capital Region’s wastewater treatment plant and sewage sludge centre to a rural site near Victoria General Hospital were rejected by the

The people of Oak Bay have a chance to contribute their input to the Official Community Plan during upcoming open houses and visioning workshops. The plan, a guide to community growth, hasn’t been updated since 1997. The update is intended to allow the district to renew its vision, objectives and policies on land use and development. Phase 1 of the planning begins with community open houses May 25 and June 4. The May 25 session runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at Windsor Pavilion. Residents are invited to join the discussion June 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Emmanuel Baptist Church Gym, 2121 Cedar Hill Cross Rd. Five “visioning workshops” that focus on one element of plan are scheduled to take place at municipal hall council chambers. The discussions will centre around parks, recreation and environment May 28 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.; arts and culture May 28 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.; community and social services May 29 from 9:30 to 11 a.m.; business and commerce May 29 from noon to 1:30 p.m.; and education and facilities May 29 from 3:30 until 5 p.m. Preregister by emailing kgreen@oakbay.ca or calling 250-598-3311. editor@oakbaynews.com

committee chair. “The (Agricultural Land Commission) is unlikely to take that property out of the reserve. We could have waited five years for an answer and still got a ‘no,’” she said. Last week’s closed-door vote was made public because of high public interest, said Andy Orr, CRD spokesman. CRD staff estimated relocating the both sewage treatment facilities to the Burnside site would also increase the overall project cost by 23 per cent to $962.7 million. Two additional large pumping stations and many kilometres of piping would be required to link the wastewater plant to marine outfalls, Orr said. Operating costs for the alternative location would be an estimated $734,000 higher per year than existing plans, which propose to build the treatment facility at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt and create a separate biosolids plant. Sites on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt and at the Hartland Landfill are being considered for the latter facility. Blackwell said alternative locations in Victoria’s Upper Harbour and in View Royal were also rejected for a variety of reasons.

Bike cops host conference VicPD welcome international police in Langford Daniel Palmer News staff
Nearly 100 police officers from across the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Texas rumble into Western Speedway next week for the North American Motor Officers Association’s annual conference. The Victoria Police Department is hosting the Langford event, which will see officers participate in riding proficiency clinics, use-of-force and firearms seminars, then wind up the fourday conference May 18 with a ride through West Shore communities. “This is the first time the con-
ference has ever been on the Island,” said VicPD Const. Steve Twardy, an organizing committee member. “We have about 400 members in total, but that varies depending on funding each year from departments.” VicPD boasts a 10-member motorbike unit, while the Saanich department has eight members assigned to bike duty. But some U.S. police departments have scaled back similar units, Twardy said, and the prohibitive cost of travelling to the Island has limited this year’s participation. Still, dozens of visiting officers are expected to arrive with their bikes and bring an economic boost to the West Shore. “We’re going to occupy the entire speedway and surrounding parking lots,” Twardy said. The event is open for public viewing from the Speedway

Units outfitted with Harley Davidson, Victory and BMW motorcycles will compete in separate categories from each other in proficiency events. “We do tears, where two guys on Harleys have a string between them and they have to do the entire course without breaking the string,” Twardy said. “It’s pretty amazing to watch the skill of some of these guys … but I’m sure there will probably be a few crashes.” On the Saturday afternoon, officers will partake in a memorial ride honouring fallen officers through Langford, the Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood and Metchosin.

OUR VIEW
Don’t pass sewage buck The regional sewage treatment project has no shortage of critics. Citizen opposition groups in Greater Victoria decry that the venture is a colossal waste of money, and residents and politicians in Esquimalt don’t want treatment plants in their backyard. Trying to shoehorn a large piece of sewage treatment infrastructure into an urban area is guaranteed to anger and disrupt the lives of some residents and businesses, which is rightly a concern of Esquimalt council. But the latest desperate offering by Esquimalt’s mayor to have the Capital Regional District consider relocating the entire project to rural farmland in Saanich is woefully selfserving and would only accomplish passing the buck to a different municipality. The landowner has a right to offer the land for sale and the CRD board can give it a look. But to push this as a viable location for sewage and sludge treatment gives false hope to residents potentially impacted by the project. It also comes years after painstaking and costly studies were undertaken to decide on where to locate sewage treatment infrastructure. The CRD rejected the proposal. The Burnside Road West location is provincially protected agricultural land reserve and the move would add some $200 million to an already expensive $783-million project. On the upside, the property offered is 16 hectares and would allow a single location for regional sewage treatment, and is far from homes. But the considerable downside is pumping sewage from the Macaulay and Clover Point outfalls about 13 kilometres across the city for treatment on the farmland, and then back to an outfall. That’s almost as bad as the proposal to pump (or truck) biosolids 18 kilometres to Hartland landfill for energy extraction. Building a treatment plant at an industrial site at McLoughlin Point and potentially at the warehouse complex on Viewfield Road, in the middle of residential Esquimalt, is probably the best of a hard situation, given the geography of Greater Victoria and available land in the city.

Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing.” What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS
Time costs money A few weeks ago a volunteer arrived at my door seeking donations to support UNICEF water purification projects. This dedicated youth explained that untreated sewage and poor sanitation is the leading cause of illness and death in many developing nations. Imagine her surprise when I informed her that here in the Garden City, this beautiful capital city, we don’t treat our sewage – we discharge our sewage (containing millions of disease-causing bacteria and other pollutants into the ocean). This is a true story, of which I am painfully familiar. There is a smaller coastal community, about 15,000 residents, facing the same issue. For more than 30 years, residents and opposition groups took actions that delayed building a sewer system and treatment facility. Study after study was completed; and project after project was proposed, designed, financed, then abandoned when a new slate of decision-makers was elected. The technical details of each
project varied little. Let’s face it, there are only a handful of ways to collect and treat sewage. One consistency remained – each project was significantly more expensive than the last due to the passage of time and increased costs of construction. After defaulting on government loans, the governing agency filed bankruptcy. Eventually, the $48M project became a $220M project and the local homeowners were saddled with monthly rates exceeding $200. A modern and well-maintained sewage treatment facility is the most significant piece of infrastructure in a community, protecting both public health and the environment. After all, it takes a foul waste, extracts resources and renders the remainder harmless. I could be proud of that. I hope our elected decision makers will move forward to complete the sewage treatment facility and turn this issue into one of community pride. Sorrel Marks Oak Bay
Try a balanced approach Tom Fletcher’s response to Adrian Dix’s election platform is so laughably biased it might actually encourage undecided voters to support their NDP candidate (B.C. Views, May 1). Apart from a few snide comments, the first part of the column actually seems to support the proposals but then come the negative comments about items such as: welfare payments and the minimum wage being linked to inflation; new child bonus program for low-income families; increased spending on youth education; financial assistance
to disadvantaged families; tax increases on corporations and banks to pay for these steps. A phrase like “nanny state” leaves us in no doubt about the writer’s prejudices but would he really discourage a young person from studying English because there is no apparent job at the end? Does he not realize that a more balanced approach might actually be of help to those of us trying to make an informed and rational decision in the election? Neil Jackson Oak Bay

Counting on camas Girl Guides Ellie Love, Chloe MacBeth, Annabelle Fieltsch and Natalia Tisot-Wright identify camas growing in Uplands Park during the Camas Day celebration. The event, held May 5, celebrated 20 years of the Chatham District Girl Guides helping to restore the park by removing invasive ivy and broom. Participants enjoyed music by the Bald Eagles Band, a cup of Silk Road tea, bingo under the oaks, a wild flower ramble and more.
New police station premature I read with interest the comments by Oak Bay Police Chief Const. Mark Fisher in the April 19 News (Community, elder crime top of Oak Bay police agenda), and l commend him for the main focus on elder abuse. However, regarding his long-term goal for a new building for the department, I am wondering if it is appropriate at this time to be spending resources, both human and financial, considering the issues facing Oak Bay. The timing to consider a plan for a new facility in consideration of a new Official Community Plan may be appropriate but l would like to point out that in the coming years the taxpayers of Oak Bay will be facing significant tax and service increases to cover the costs of the new sewer disposal system, Uplands sewer separation costs, and road and sidewalk maintenance to name a few. These will be in the ten of millions of dollars.
Letters to the Editor
There are huge shortfalls in the current budget for road maintenance and renewal, as well as sidewalk replacement and upgrades. Because of budget restraints, it could take untold years to complete the sidewalk cutoffs so that seniors with mobility aids can easily negotiate sidewalks which will take unknown years to be made safe throughout Oak Bay. Further, l believe it would be premature to consider a new police building, at a cost of millions of dollars, in the face of increased pressure for amalgamation of municipalities or merging of services. It would be prudent to wait for the outcome of any discussions and/or decisions. Should either one of these options be considered the need for a new police facility could be in question.

Oak Bay Official Community Plan Renewal
Input from the community is essential to creating an effective Plan. Please contribute your perspectives and ideas.
OCP Renewal The District of Oak Bay is embarking upon a process to renew its Official Community Plan (OCP), previously the Present updated substantively in 1997. An OCP the Past is a guide to the future growth of a community. The OCP renewal will give the District an opportunity to review its vision, objectives and policies that guide land use and development. An OCP Advisory Committee (OPAC) of representative councillors and citizens has been appointed by Council to help guide the process.
Public Engagement Process Public input is extremely important to the OCP process since the Plan must reflect the values and aspirations of the community. There will be several phases of public engagement as the Plan is prepared over the next year. In this initial phase, there are opportunities for you to attend two different types of sessions:
Community Open Houses Oak Bay These will be informal drop-in sessions at which you can provide input on any aspect of the OCP: • Community Open House #1 – Saturday May 25, 2013, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, Windsor Pavilion • Community Open House #2 – Tuesday June 4, 2013, 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Emmanuel Baptist Church Gym Visioning Workshops These will be 1 ½ hour workshops that will focus on the vision and a particular perspective of the OCP. All will be held at the Municipal Hall Council Chambers: • Parks, Recreation and Environment – Tuesday May 28, 2013, 4:30 to 6:00 pm • Arts and Culture – Tuesday May 28, 2013, 7:00 to 8:30 pm • Community and Social Services – Wednesday May 29, 2013, 9:30 to 11:00 am • Business and Commerce – Wednesday May 29, 2013, Noon to 1:30 pm • Education Facilities – Wednesday May 29, 2013, 3:30 – 5:00 pm Seating at the visioning workshops is limited, so please pre-register at kgreen@oakbay.ca or phone the number below if you would like to attend one.
For additional information during the process: • Check www.oakbay.ca and click on the OCP link • Call 250-598-3311

Transit teams with Wilson’s for cruise terminal pickups Daniel Palmer News staff
A decision by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority to use B.C. Transit buses for cruise ship passengers has transit drivers fuming. The GVHA awarded a one-year contract to Wilson’s Transportation Ltd. May 6. Under the contract, six B.C. Transit buses will be driven by Wilson’s drivers and make runs between Ogden Point and downtown Victoria. The round-trip fare will cost tourists $10. But Canadian Auto Workers Local 333 President Ben Williams said B.C. Transit likely violated
POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
Vehicle mischief
A driver of a Honda returned to find their vehicle vandalized sometime overnight on May 6 at the University of Victoria. Not only did the vandal rip the driver’s side mirror from the car, but they also tested the letter of the law when they made off
its collective agreement by leasing the buses for private service without using B.C. Transit employees. “I cannot understand how an employer, with a contract that clearly stipulates it must consult with the union on any new work, would refuse to do exactly that,” Williams said. In a statement, B.C. Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton said a reduction in summer hours means unused buses are able to be leased to generate further revenue. “B.C. Transit has a provincial fleet of 1,000 buses. Six of those buses will be leased to the GVHA,” Burton said.
“The revenue generated from leasing these idle buses will be invested back into transit services.” The GVHA approved the oneyear contract while it begins testing cleaner and quieter buses for use through James Bay. It was not clear what type of buses would be supplied by B.C. Transit for the cruise shuttles. “The end goal is a sustainable transportation network for cruise passengers and crew that minimizes impacts on the community,” said harbour authority president and CEO Curtis Grad. CAW Local 333 plans to grieve the use of B.C. Transit buses. dpalmer@vicnews.com
with the “H” from the vehicle’s grill. Oak Bay police received several reports of vehicles being entered overnight between May 9 and 10 in the area of Milton Road, Yale Street and Foul Bay Road. Unlocked vehicles have been targeted and valuables – including a briefcase and a camera lens valued at approximately $800 – were taken. The briefcase was later recovered.

The music of Mexico comes to the Inner Harbour in a free preview of the Mariachi Festival Daniel Palmer News staff
The sights and sounds of Mexican tradition are coming to Victoria for the fifth annual Mariachi Festival on May 17 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall. Up to 36 performers from Mexico, Texas and Vancouver will showcase the centuries-old traditional Mexican music, with a sneak peek performance at the Inner Harbour on Friday morning. “It’s a very unique family festival, very rich in music and history, and it brings a little bit of education about what we have in Mexico,” said director/producer Alex Alegria, who heads his own mariachi band, Los Dorados (the Golden Boys) in Vancouver. Professional mariachi group Cocula promise to get the audience moving
when they take the stage dressed as charros (otherwise known as “Mexican cowboys”) complete with sombreros, flashy belts and colourful suits. Cocula hails from what is believed to be the birthplace of mariachi in Jalisco, Mexico. While its origins date back to the 16th century, the modern mariachi of trumpets, strings and guitar only developed in the late 1920s, Alegria said. “Back in the day, we didn’t have trumpets, instead there were drums and a little flute, the chimirilla. That instrument is almost like a flute but with a much different sound,” he said. Texas-based Los Arrieros is also adding their worldclass musical expertise to the festival in Victoria, as well as stops in Vancouver and Nanaimo.

Uno hits 300
Colour inspirations
After 17 years, Victoria’s Uno Fest is now North America’s longest-running festival of solo performance. Following last year’s successful festival, which featured Hawksley Workman’s The God That Comes, this year marks the 300th show at Uno Fest. The 10-day curated festival features some of the best solo performers from across North America, including Fringe favorites Jayson McDonald, Tara Travis and John Grady, alongside national successes Itai Erdal’s How to Disappear Completely, Evalyn Parry’s Spin, Cliff Cardinal’s Huff, Johanna Nutter’s My Pregnant Brother and Brian Fidler’s Broken. The festival is also presenting the entertaining, raunchy and always controversial (and former Uno Fest performer) Mike Daisey in his return to Victoria with American Utopias at the Metro Studio May 16 and 17 as a special pre-Uno Fest event. In American Utopias Daisey explores how we create public spaces where we act out our dreams of a better world. Uno Fest runs May 22 to June 2 at Metro Studio and Intrepid Theatre Club.

Butcher back in familiar territory I t sounds kind of gruesome, but Fraser Orr is most comfortable when he’s got a meat cleaver in his hand. And the longtime Saanich Peninsula butcher and meat products creator is indeed happy again, having taken a staff position with the Market on Millstream. “We’re letting people know I’ve popped up,” Orr says with his trademark lilting Scottish brogue. While he’s been working at the Market for Don Descoteau three months Biz Beat now, he says, “It’s all still new to me after 34 years of owning my own business.” Ronald Orr and Son Family Butcher had three stores in its heyday, including the original location in Brentwood Bay, and was famous for its brand of haggis. But as Fraser Orr puts it, “a set of unfortunate circumstances” led himself, brother, Stewart and sister, Rhonda Hebb – they took over when Ronald Orr died in 2000 – to close the stores last fall. When Market on Millstream co-owner Darryl Hein approached Fraser about getting back into the business and introducing the Orr family’s traditional recipes to a new clientele, he seized the opportunity. “I’ve got the excitement back of cutting meat and stuff,” Orr said. “It’s definitely less stressful and it’s a real pleasure to come to work.” He’s enjoying being just “one of the boys” at the store under Hein and meat department manager John Macaulay. On top of regular butcher duties, Orr is producing the specialized sausages, meat pies and other products sold at the family shop, Hein said. “(This is) just going to add to the mix,” Hein said of the traditional Scottish recipes. “I think when they closed down their shop there were quite a few people who were disappointed. There’s a market for their products and we hope to capitalize on that.” Orr’s specialty items are also being sold at the Market on Yates, Hein said. – Market on Millstream, 125-2401C Millstream Rd.; 250-3911110 Market on Yates, 903 Yates St., 250381-6000 themarketstores.com.

The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers. The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers. UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision. If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes. Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more serious. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a clouding of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible. The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun. To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation. Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

James Bay make it 24 James Bay win 24th B.C. rugby title; Velox lose to Burnaby Travis Paterson News staff
The veteran forward pack of the James Bay Athletic Association commanded its way to an 18-10 victory over Burnaby Lake in the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League Rounsefell Cup Final on Saturday, one of three provincial rugby finals at UVic’s Wallace Field. “We knew our forward pack would need to match their’s, at least,” said James Bay captain Spencer Dalziel. The Bays rarely gave up the ball and took their time grinding the game down. Peter Gillespie scored JBAA’s first try to make it 5-5 at the half. Oak Bay High grad Sean White scored a penalty goal to start the second half. Mitch Bancroft and Jim de Goede scored two more tries off an impressive series of rucks by the JBAA forwards for an 18-5 lead. “They outplayed us,” said Burnaby Lake captain Mike Gough. It’s the 24th provincial title for the Bays, which also won the Island championship last month.
Velox slip in Harris Cup final Burnaby Lake rode a dominant first half to edge the Velox Valkyries 17-13 for the Gordon Harris Memorial Cup, emblematic of the 2013 B.C. Rugby Adidas Women’s Premiership championship. Burnaby roared to a 14-3 lead in the first half
with Velox’s Monique Boag knotting the only score on a penalty goal. The second half saw a reverse in momentum with Velox winning the rucks they weren't winning in the first half. It led to two tries, one from captain Brittany Sims and the other fullback Selina McGinnis, 14-13. But Burnaby managed to find just enough in the late going to hold on, with Julia Sugawara converting a penalty goal.
High school rivals joined on UVic The UVic Norsemen defeated Burnaby Lake Rugby 35-15 in the second of the day's trilogy of championships, the men’s First Division Ceili’s Cup final. Late tries by Luke McCluskey and Kapi Vataiki sealed it for UVic, which stayed true to the Div. 1 theme and trotted out first-year rookies. Granted, some of those rookies are very much on the radar of the national team program. The scored finished 15-10 at half for Burnaby. UVic kept in it thanks to the fine kicking of local product Fergus Hall, a Glenlyon Norfolk School grad. Centre Dustin Dobravsky and winger Keenan Horton scored second-half tries for UVic, while Hall kicked 15 points. The win was a club effort, said UVic flanker Jeff Nishima-Miller, a recent grad of St. Michaels University School in Saanich and former rival of Hall's in school play. “We had so many injuries all year,” he said.

Gorge’s Janet Bisson, centre, narrowly misses scoring on a header against Burnaby Selects in the provincial B Cup final at Westhills Stadium on Saturday. Burnaby won 2-1.
Gorge’s next premier team burned in finals Travis Paterson News staff
Gorge FC’s soon-to-be premier women’s team came within a goal of winning the provincial soccer Leeta Sokalski Cup B Cup title on Saturday only to fall 2-1 to the Burnaby Selects. It was one of six provincial soccer finals held at Westhills and Goudy fields in Langford. The only other local squad representing was also a Gorge FC women’s team, which fell 3-0 in the Women’s Classics to the Coastal FC Supra. It was the B Cup that Gorge nearly won, however. Tied 1-1 and about 15 minutes into the second half, the B Cup final looked to turn in Gorge’s favour when Burnaby took a red card and went down to 10 players. But before Gorge could take advantage, Burnaby struck on a miscue to take a 2-1 lead. From there on it was all Gorge.

True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes.

False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day. □ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home. □ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can). □ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity. □ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.* n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.
