Rezoning application may cause stir: Mayor Land near Island View Beach in Central Saanich subject of redevelopment request Devon MacKenzie News staff

Land adjacent to Island View Beach that used to house a go-kart track is the subject of an upcoming rezoning application that Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson says could cause quite a stir in the community.

An informational advisory was brought forward to council during last Tuesday night’s (July 2) special meeting of council regarding a rezoning request from the property owner at 3215 Island View Rd. The piece of property fronts on to Island View Beach, to the right of the park entrance and used to house an old go-kart track.

Alastair Byson In recent years the low-lying land has sat untouched and the property owner, Michelle Koski, said it is the breeding ground for mosquitos which are a notorious problem in the area.

Koski is requesting the land (previously zoned commercial, now zoned A1 but not a part of the Agricultural Land Reserve) be rezoned to residential commercial and redeveloped into a mixed use area.

Lower number of food donations to the Sidney Lions Food Bank to blame Devon MacKenzie News staff

A recent community barbecue spearheaded by Sidney town councillor Kenny Podmore and sponsored by Thrifty Foods and Slegg Lumber raised $3,400 for the Sidney Lions Food Bank — something that will help the food bank fill shelves

that are unusually bare for this time of year.

“We have had to purchase more food in the last three months than we’ve had to in the last five years at least,” said Bev Elder, the food bank administrator this week.

Plan reaction might be a mixed bag Continued from page 1

The proposal before Central Saanich council could include a coffee shop or snack bar and a beach rental business.

“In our quick research it seems like there might be demand [in that area] for a place where people might get a cup of coffee or rent a paddleboard,” said Koski during last Tuesday night’s meeting.

Council members and Mayor Bryson indicated they had concerns relating to the installation of a septic system in an area that’s as close to sea-level as the property in question.

Bryson also cautioned the applicant that the idea of rezoning land adjacent to the park may have mixed reviews from community members.

“I think this is an application that’s going to cause quite a lot of discussion in the community,” he said.

Council voted to receive the application for information and will discuss the matter further at a later date.

The next meeting of council is scheduled for July 22. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Noel Currie and Dan Mercer of the Sidney-by-the-Sea Rotary Club cook up salmon burgers at the Community Dinner on June 30 to raise money for the Sidney Lions Food Bank.

Food bank relies on donations Continued from page 1

Elder also noted the food bank is unusually low on other staple items like basic pasta, rice and baking ingredients.

She attributes the lack of food on their shelves not to increased use of the community service, whose levels have remained steady over the last year, but rather to fewer donations of actual food items coming into

the food bank.

“It’s fantastic to have the money coming in from fundraising like the Community Barbecue. We appreciate that so much and it allows us to buy fresh staples like milk, eggs and cheese.

“But we also rely on food donations, like canned soup coming into the food bank as well,” she said.

Stelly’s Secondary School shares tool grant Central Saanich high school eceives the tools used in Skills Canada competition Devon MacKenzie News Staff

Stelly’s Secondary is the lucky recipient of a generous donation from Skills Canada British Columbia and a leading tool supplier.

On June 16, Skills Canada British Columbia, Stanley Black and

Decker announced the donation of a collection of Stanley and DeWalt tools used at the 2013 Skills Canada National Competition to six schools in the province.

“This donation provides students and educators with industry-leading tools that

will help ensure that classroom training is relevant to the needs of employers that service Canada’s skilled trades industries,” said a press release from Skills Canada B.C. “We were totally awestruck by the generosity demonstrated by Stanley DeWalt,” said

Stu Rhodes, the career counsellor and apprenticeship coordinator at Stelly’s.

“We have actually decided to share the wealth so we divided the tools between Parkland, Claremont and the Individual learning Centre.”

The six schools

across the province received a package of Stanley DeWalt tools including cordless power drills, miter saws, scroll saws and accessories valued at up to $15,000 for use in their Career and Tech-

nology Studies labs.

“Employers in British Columbia are in dire need of talented, young workers,” said Amber Papou, Executive Director of Skills British Columbia in a press release.

“We hope that this generous donation will attract more youth to successful careers in skilled trade and technology areas.”

OUR VIEW

The season of fires and water safety Greater Victoria finally has its summer heat wave, with no signs of letting up, at least into next weekend.

For many residents that means trips to regional watering holes such at Thetis and Elk lakes, popular beaches like Willows, plenty of barbecuing and catching some rays.

If history is any guide, south Island summers can also be busy time for first responders.

At the temperature soars for any length of time, more people, often teens and young adults, put themselves at risk for drowning in boating mishaps, cliff jumping missteps and over-confident swimming skills.

Thetis Lake has been the scence for falling injuries and a drowning death every few years.

The Sooke Potholes also sees a few broken bones from poorly aimed cliff jumps and the occasional drowning tragedy.

These deaths and injuries are preventable, and usually go hand in hand with intoxication, bravado and high temperatures. B.C. had four water-related deaths in the first five days of July, prompting a plea by the Corners Service of B.C. for people to contemplate water safety and to better understand the risks of jumping into unfamiliar rivers and lakes.

The Capital Region is a playground of parks, lakes and rivers for summer fun, and most have plenty of information available on hazards. But mostly, safety comes with caution and common sense.

The other hot weather disasters waiting to happen are the annual highway-side brush and forest fires.

The region’s commuter routes continue to be the region’s ashtray. Flicking cigarette butts into dry grass is a choice people make, and only by fast-acting fire response has the city avoided major property damage from grassfires.

More problematic are the city’s prized urban forests and large regional parks. Most of these areas have large fuel loads of deadfall, leaves and brush built up over decades or longer.

During these dry days, a careless cigarette or an illicit campfire could spark a major forest fire near residential neighbourhoods. Our lucky streak is bound to run out one of these summers.

Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put B.C. Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt.

What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, B.C. Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion.

Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as B.C. Hydro’s lone “shareholder.”

The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

t is interesting that someone who lives in Victoria feels qualified to comment on the issues facing citizens of Central Saanich. In past letters, we’ve been called “Nimby”.

Well, I can reveal the Woodwyn operation is in my backyard.

I have been insulted, threatened, had materials stolen, equipment destroyed and at present look over the fence to see mountains of thistles about to cast their seeds onto my property because this group can’t even bring themselves to mow the fields.

I see the operation over the fence and

there is little evidence that anyone is being helped.

Many farmers on the Peninsula would welcome workers to tend their crops, but must bring in foreign workers because these people are not interested in gainful employment.

I am very pleased that the municipality has finally taken a stand.

I obey the bylaws and so should the society that runs this operation.

Readers respond: Sidney Days parade, deer issues, parking and the heat Best parade ever Congratulations to all those who organized one of the best Sidney parades ever.

However, how ironic it was to see our Green Party MP riding on the back of a relic from our automobile gas-guzzling past, and our NDP MLA riding his bicycle.

Well done, Mr. Holman.

Rodger Garbutt Sidney

Wonderful way to start the summer I big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers, Mayor Larry Cross, fellow councillors and Sidney staff, who made Sidney Days so successful.

The Community Dinner was a big hit and the credit goes to the volunteers but especially the fellows on the grills, a very hot job, well done.

The parade was equally successful and a big thank you to Peninsula Celebrations for their efforts and the wonderful fireworks display.

I know I enjoyed myself and judging from the large crowds at all the events the residents of our three communities also enjoyed the events.

What a wonderful way to start the summer.

Conny McBride North Saanich

We must care for all of the animals I have lived on five acres in the Saanichton area for about 12 years and I have only seen deer in the distance a few times and only a single deer on the property twice, until very recently.

I was so ecstatic and felt so blessed to have had the privilege of viewing four magnificent creatures within six feet of my front door about 10 days ago.

Two does and two little fawns were walking slowly and sedately from one edge of the property to the other. They showed no fear or aggressiveness as they passed by me standing on the

outside steps.

I was in awe of their beauty and particularly noticed their trusting eyes, dark and lovely.

How could anyone think of killing these creations of God? The first book in the Bible, Genesis, Chapter one, verses 24-26 tells us that God first produced living creatures, livestock, wild animals, etc. and then He created man to rule over them.

I choose to believe He means for us to care for them.

And yes, I am a vegetarian.

Ann Drew Saanichton

Insight on parking It is refreshing to here that the residents of North Saanich are such law abiding citizens for fines to be reduced and bylaws for various parking infractions to be removed.

Possibly they could provide insight to other areas of the CRD where problem parking and driving infractions are increasing — or is it possible again that the council for North Saanich is out to lunch again?

Peter Knightley North Saanich

Advice ignored In the June 28, 2013 edition of the Peninsula News Review, former MP Gary Lunn, ironically, offered political advice to the Mayor of North Saanich.

Having morphed from failed politician to land developer, Mr. Lunn has ignored his legal training and purports not to understand the fundamental legal principle that if you insert something new part way through a legal process, regardless of how beneficial it may be, the principles of administrative law which establish the rules of natural justice and procedural fairness may require you to start over.

So, my view is, shame on you Mr. Lunn because your legal training suggests that you must understand this principle.

To rant on about the mayor

having lost control of council and admonish her to come to grips with the new council majority is irrelevant to the public hearing process.

The fact is that for the 9395 East Saanich project to escape the risk of judicial review, the advice offered through the mayor was and is in Mr. Lunn’s best interest. However, both he and the majority on council have chosen to ignore this advice.

Celia Stock North Saanich

Stop making excuses Year after year, each summer, some child or animal dies in an enclosed vehicle.

Why? How many times does one have to be told this is a no-no? ICBC suggested drivers put their purse, or something they might need, in the back seat so they don’t forget there’s a child there.

If you are this stupid, then you had better not drive at all, let alone take your child anywhere.

Better still, don’t have children.

Too many excuses are made by those who do not take responsibility. They should be sent to jail.

This reminds me of a time that professional people needed to have a pager. I tried as long as possible to stay away from having one — I expected that as soon as I would have a pager that people were expecting that I would call back immediately.

This was a time that I was playing pager detox, before I even had a pager. Now is the time that the phrase digital detox is introduced. Also the word unplug is presented to save ourselves before we become addicted.

The expression, social media trap is also pioneered in our fast moving world. Eye contact is disappearing and if we think that this is acceptable, we are wrong.

Only with our eyes we can see what the reaction of the other person will be.

To find out if you are addicted, try twenty one days without the digital devices — just use the phone when needed. Maybe use your holiday time and reconnect with your loved ones.

It’s worth a try because family should come before always being on the phone and being connected. Besides, too often it gives you too broad and thin information.

Twenty one days is the magical number to change habits and improve to better ones. Didn’t we survive before?

Beefs& Bouquets

A

bouquet to all the kids in Sidney who came out and enjoyed the Canada Day activities organized by the fantastic team from the Peninsula Celebrations Society.

I have been face painting at events for 10 years and I have never in all that time heard so many thank you’s from the kids.

Every single one of them, no matter if they were two or thirteen years old, all said thank you.

I don’t take this for granted because I work at events where hearing these two little words is, sadly, rare.

So, a big thank you to all my little customers. You made my Canada Day very special and reminded me my job as a face painter is the best one in the world.

Susi McMillan Susi Sunshine Facepainting Bouquets of thanks to all the volunteers and generous people who supported ALS Flower Day on Saturday, June 1.

It’s people like you that make this a success.

Dave and Kate Ramsay A beef to the horseback riders who use the multi-use path surrounding the Victoria Airport.

Please could you get your butts out of the saddle and clean up after your horse so that others can enjoy the paths without having to meander around various piles of horse droppings.

I would also like to point out that I have recently received correspondence from YYJ customer service stating riders know that they should not be there.

Valerie Queen A big thank you to Gary Wilton, the Fire Chief in North Saanich, who was at the station painting on Sunday.

I contacted him regarding our four-month-old kitten who was high in a tree being attacked by six crows.

He turned me on to Mike Pryor, arborist extraordinaire and kitty rescuer, who came immediately and rescued our little tree hugger.

The blue waters off of Sidney are teeming with activity this summer - including folks and their small, self-launched boats used for cruising around the waterfront.

More costly B.C. Hydro work needed Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Costly upgrades to old dams are not enough to prepare B.C. Hydro for a major earthquake, and electricity rates will continue to rise as upgrades and expansion continue.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett acknowledged Thursday further rate increases will be needed to finance

improvements to the vast hydroelectric network and pay debt on works already completed or underway.

“My job will be to restrain the increases, but there’s no way we can continue to sell power to customers, whether they’re commercial or industrial or residential, at the rates that we’re selling it right now,” Bennett said.

Thursday on a disaster preparedness audit commissioned by B.C. Hydro last year. The PricewaterhouseCoopers audit reported in December B.C. Hydro is at high risk of a prolonged power outage after a major earthquake because of a lack of coordinated emergency plans.

“B.C. Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake as there is not a mature or integrated preparedness program,” the audit states.

Bennett said B.C. Hydro has enough staff to improve disaster planning, so that shouldn’t represent a big cost. On that point at least, NDP energy critic John Horgan agreed.

“What the report says is that B.C. Hydro is not prepared,” Horgan said. “They don’t have any continuity plan for their business

to continue. It’s not about money, it’s about being ready.”

B.C. Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said Hydro is accelerating its province-wide emergency response strategy, improving staff training and participating in emergency exercises. Regional emergency operations centres are planned in locations including Port Alberni, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Victoria, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Prince George and Vernon.

B.C. Hydro is spending about $2 billion on seismic refits of two of its oldest dams. Its current expansion project, the Northwest Transmission Line from Terrace to Iskut, was revealed last week to be $140 million over budget.

In April 2012, the B.C. Utilities Commission imposed an extra 2.5 per cent rate increase, bringing the rate increase for the year to seven per cent.

That followed a costcutting review of BC Hydro that eliminated 700 jobs in an effort to keep the rate increase below four per cent.

Panorama Rec. keeps growing Steven Heywood News staff

Over the last fiscal year, visits to the Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich numbered around 500,000.

Total visits over the next 18 to 24 months, says Ian Hennigar, senior manager, are estimated to grow to close to 600,000.

Hennigar was recently before the council of the District of North Saanich, presenting the Centre’s annual update. He showed figures that put use of the overall facility having grown significantly in the last four years. In the weight room alone, use went up 50 per cent in the same time frame.

Hennigar gave an overview of the Centre’s operation and its involvement in the Saanich Peninsula community.

Not only does Panorama Recreation have their own facilities, they offer a variety of programs — youth day camps to activities for seniors — in the community at satellite locations such as the Greenglade Community Centre. Those programs include a long-standing program of free swim lessons to area Grade 3 students (which is assisted by local Rotary clubs).

In all, he said Panorama runs events and

activities in 22 locations on the Peninsula.

“Our plan is to increase our user rates by 50 per cent this year,” Hennigar said, outlining the Centre’s operations outlook.

That goal, he continued, will help address the ongoing youth obesity rates and health issues — not to mention an estimated seven hours per day of “screen time” or how long young people sit in front on a computer

— being discussed on a national scale.

Hennigar added that Panorama is also working on its longterm goal of covering its operating costs half by user fees and half through taxation. Currently, he said the Centre receives around 48 per cent of its funding through user fees.

“We’re definitely on target,” he told council.

His update to council on June 24 included information on events,

tournaments and other uses of the rec. centre.

Panorama currently employs 200 people — 85 per cent of which are part-time staff, such as lifeguards.

Mayor Alice Finall asked Hennigar about the Centre’s use of energy and its source.

He replied that Panorama still obtains much of its heat through the district energy system that uses heat from waste water.

Contest on until July 21 SIDNEY — Staff at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre in Sidney have said goodbye to Emily, the spunky Giant Pacific Octopus who, over the last six months, stole some crabs and the hearts of staff and visitors alike.

The Centre is now ready to welcome a new friend to the aquarium — and they are asking the public to help choose a new name for their guest.

The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre is having a “Vote-opus” to select a name for their new cephalopod. Aquarium visitors will have the chance to vote from a list of eight names that were inspired by areas in and around our Saanich Inlet.

Voting will be open to paid admissions visitors and annual pass holders only. Ballots will be accepted in the aquarium starting this week and running until Sunday, July 21. Drop by soon to have your say.

During the week of July 15 to July 19, 2013, the District of Central Saanich will be conducting a smoke test of the sanitary sewer system in the Brentwood Bay Area to locate defects or breaks in the sewer system. The testing will include the area West of Hagan Road between Clarke Road and Wallace Drive.

The testing involves the use of non toxic, odourless, white or grey coloured smoke that does not create a fire hazard. Smoke seen venting from the rooftop stacks of buildings during testing is normal and indicates that the building is properly connected to the sewer system.

If you have any questions or concerns about this program, please contact The District of Central Saanich Engineering Department at 250-544-4210.

Australian documentary has local ties Film screening at Star Cinema sheds light on Southeast Asia’s sex industry

Devon MacKenzie News staff

The screening of a documentary with local ties on Monday, July 22 at Star Cinema will offer a glimpse into the dark world of human trafficking.

The documentary Street Dreams was co-created, produced, edited and shot by Mike Crowhurst — an ex-pat Canadian who lives in Australia and who’s mother and father live in Sidney. Crowhurst also co-owns the production company Red Earth Film.

“The screening in Canada was more of a chance opportunity simply because I am going to be in the country on holiday anyway, but it is technically the first screening internationally, so we’re excited to have non-Aussie audiences watch it for the first time,” Crowhurst said in

an email to the News Review, adding that if the team can manage it, there may be a Vancouver screening as well.

The film centres around the billion dollar sex industry in South East Asia and the girls who service it. During the film, Crowhurst said the audience is taken throughout Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines to discover firsthand who is paying the heaviest price in this region’s growing flesh trade.

Through intimate interviews with girls previously and presently caught up in prostitution along with those attempting to save them, the audience is exposed to the harsh and little-known realities of life in the sex industry.

With undercover footage taken by hidden cameras, the film shows disturbing but powerful images, including never-before-seen footage of the attempted rescue of a 17-year-old girl from a Bangkok brothel.

Finally, the film turns its attention to the audience.

Having seen the inspirational work of many organizations and individuals in the film, viewers are challenged and encouraged to join the struggle against the emerging sex trade.

The screening at Star Cinema will be the first Canadian screening of the documentary, something which Crowhurst said is designed to raise awareness around the issue of the sex industry in South

East Asia.

“The aim of the screenings [in Canada] is to attract not only regular citizens of B.C. to learn more about human trafficking and modern day slavery, but also to interest members of government, local NGOs and media to the event to see how the film, and our forthcoming series on slavery, can do to help awareness. A lot of people in countries like Canada, the U.S. and Australia don’t realize just how significant of a role they play in all this.”

Admission for the screening of Street Dreams on Monday, July 22 at 1 p.m. is $6 and donations will be taken at the door as well. Crowhurst will be on hand after the screening to answer questions.

Lavender fields forever Victoria Lavender hosts festival this Saturday and Sunday Devon MacKenzie News staff

All things lavender are on the menu this weekend in North Saanich.

Alan Mayfield of Victoria Lavender (1899 John Rd.) is hosting a festival Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14 at the farm. The event will feature art, entertainment and more (hint, there might be some lavender!)

Mayfield began lavender farming on Saltspring Island in 2001. In 2005 he moved to Sidney and opened The Lavender Shop on Beacon Avenue.

Initially, several local farmers grew lavender for the company based on plants and expertise that was brought over from the Saltspring farm. As the company grew there was a need for a larger lavender farm and the land on John Road in North Saanich was purchased in the spring of 2008.

Today the property has some 10,000 lavender plants of different varieties and a plethora of farm animals including chickens, peacocks and dogs.

The Lavender Festival at Victoria Lavender will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12.

Parking on the farm is somewhat limited (overflow will be at the Visitors Centre) so arrive early.

Visit www.victorialavender.com for more information.

Flavour Trail is back with new managers NORTH SAANICH — The popular North Saanich Flavour Trail is back again this year under new management. The District of North Saanich has selected an established regional advocate for food and farm security, the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR), to carry the event forward.

The event runs August 23 to 25. Coordinator of this year’s Flavour Trail is Robert Thompson, editor of the annual Farm Fresh guide.

“North Saanich has worked with farmers, volunteers and staff over the past six years to produce this annual celebration event for our community,”

Peninsula Celebrations Society

said Mayor Alice Finall. “We welcome the broadened outlook beginning with this year’s planning.”

Linda Geggie, CRFAIR coordinator, is taking on the anchor North Saanich Flavour Trail event, which will be expanded beyond North Saanich to include on-going support for other significant food and agricultural events on the Saanich Peninsula under an enhanced Flavour Trails banner.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Summer time is the best time to hit the beach SIDNEY — Summer is here — what better time to hit the beach!

We on the Saanich Peninsula are blessed with a rich and varied number of beaches, and with low tides occurring during daylight hours through July and August, there is no better time to go down to the shore and explore.

While you are swimming, beach-combing, kayaking, or simply basking in the sun, look for some of the amazing animals that share

our shoreline with us.

Just remember to treat them with respect, tread gently on rocks and sand, and watch for that incoming tide and any larger waves that might come with it — stay safe.

There are four main types of beaches on Vancouver Island: rocky shores, sandy beaches, mudflats and cobblestone beaches.

They each make for great destinations during the summer months — perfect places to entertain the kids and

even the adults.

Around the Saanich Peninsula, there are miles of beaches. They are great for walking and the combination of discovering what’s out there, getting outside and getting some exercise in the process is something the whole family can enjoy.

A great field guide to take with you is the classic book Exploring the Seashore in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, by Gloria Snively (Soules Book Publishers) now in its 12th edition.

Easy to use and read, it is divided up by beach type, making identification much easier.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Roberts Bay on the Saanich Peninsula is one of the many beaches to explore this summer.

Beach Etiquette Explore Gently If you pick up a rock, make sure you turn it back over the way it was – it is home and shelter to many creatures. Try not to crush the animals living on, under or beside it.

Fill in any Holes When digging for burrowing animals like clams,

don’t leave piles of sand on the beach as many small animals won’t be able to reach to surface to breathe and will suffocate.

Leave Animals in their Habitat Don’t move animals from one area to another, or try to take any away – remember – this is their home!

— Submitted by Sue Staniforth

Unexpected finds can liven up a day at the beach Continued from page 3

Lochside Beach is also exposed to the elements. Staniforth said

the logs along the shore act as giant rollers that crush and destroy when the storms come.

This makes for a con-

sistent beach, if not a little flat and on the surface, somewhat plain.

However, Staniforth said, dig a little deeper

and you can find a wealth of sea life. It take a little more effort, but turning over rocks works here as well.

“Pretty well every rock here will have some cool stuff underneath it,” she said.

“Sometimes you have to look a little harder to find interesting things.”

Animals generally live “in” the beach rather than on it.

Reay Creek flows into the bay at the south end of Lochside, providing a fresh water source for many birds and ducks, and depositing mud, sand and nutrients.

Walk down one of the stair access points, poke around the rocks and look under the seaweed.

Clams and worms can burrow readily here: at low tide, look for water shooting up like a fountain as the large Horse clams retract their siphons.

Gently pick up rocks to peer underneath and find “Chinese-hat”shaped limpets, little Purple and Green Shore Crabs, barnacles and the tiny shell-like white tubes of Tube worms.

On this outing, Staniforth managed to sweep away some seaweed to find a Northern Clingfish next to a larger rock — an unexpected find. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW NEWS REVIEW

Junior B hockey players make offseason noise Travis Paterson News staff

The list is getting longer for junior B hockey players graduating to the next level for the 2013-14 season.

Shawn McBride of the Saanich Braves will suit up for the Victoria Grizzlies of the B.C. Hockey League. And with junior A camps running summer long there will likely be more players from the Braves, Westshore Wolves, Victoria Cougars and Peninsula Panthers to make the jump before the September start to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.

The VIJHL has long been a feeder league for the BCHL. What’s new is the consistent number of VIJHL grads, particularly from Greater Victoria, who are moving on to college.

Leading the way is Braves captain Ty Jones, MVP of the VIJHL in 2011-12. The Spectrum Community school grad

has finally settled on a school and will play for the University of Oklahoma Sooners in the American Collegiate Hockey Association. Jones spearheaded the Braves’ best season in the modern junior B era as the team finished second in 2012-13 with 30 wins in 48 games and made it to the VIJHL semifinals.

The Sooners play in Div. 1 of the ACHA, an alternative organization to the NCAA, albeit a tier below, which has grown leaps and bounds in terms of its on ice product and status, said Braves coach Brad Cook.

“We have five guys moving on to college which is pretty exciting, not just for the players and the team but for our league. It’s a huge step in the right direction for us.”

Braves committed to play in the ACHA next year are defenceman Chad Roorda to the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos, and forwards

Justin Polischuk and Sam Johnston to the Adrian College Bulldogs in Michigan, which ranked No. 1 in the ACHA last year.

More Braves are expected to sign including Garrett Kemmler, the top defenceman of the year, and forwards Josh Gray and Josh McGladery.

Perhaps the most coveted VIJHL player, Brody Coulter, opted not to explore his U.S.A. and Canadian college options and will play for the UVic Vikes of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Coulter was the VIJHL MVP in 2012-13 and half of the Cougars’ dynamic duo. The other half was assistant captain Sam Rice, who will join the Braves’ Roorda on the Central Oklahoma Bronchos.

“It has been the best four years of my life (with the Cougars) and I am sad that it is over,” Rice said. The Cougars are also expecting to announce additional player advancements this summer, coach Mark Van Helvoirt said. sports@vicnews.com

Free boat safety checks on offer BRENTWOOD BAY — Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue crews in Brentwood Bay are offering boaters a free safety check this summer.

Under a new program supported

by Transport Canada, search and rescue crews will visit boaters on the water for this voluntary safety survey.

“As the busy summer boating season gets under way, this will be a

great way for us to make contact with boaters on the water and help them make sure their vessels are safe,” said Brentwood Bay RCM-SAR station leader Geoff Krause.

To learn more, or to make a donation to the Saanich Inlet Lifeboat Society, contact Doug Robinson, boating safety officer, at 250-757-1623.

The program continues until January 31, 2014.

The 12 and 13-year-olds of the Peninsula Warriors Bantam C team are off to Delta next week for the provincials.

The Warriors won the Island championship on Sunday night, July 7, by beating their opponents in Campbell River in a wild finish.

The final was tied after regulation time — with the outcome of the entire championship on the line.

Peninsula had beaten Campbell

River, 9-7, the day before but had also lost to them 3-1 earlier in the day.

The locals had to make a return trip up-Island Sunday for the tie-breaker.

After playing regulation to a tie and after no goals were scored in a 10-minute overtime, the game came down to sudden death — the first goal scored would prove the winner.

Peninsula got it, edging Campbell River 4-3.

The Warriors, who had a winning season overall, now head to Delta for the provincial championships July 17 to 21.
