Wander through the St. Mary the Virgin church cemetery and meet the pioneers of Metchosin.
St. Mary volunteers will host tours telling tales of memorable residents laid to rest on the grounds. Among them is Metchosin’s first midwife, Mary Ann Vine. “She would walk out to Sooke to deliver a baby and one day when
coming back from Sooke she saw a cougar who had just killed a deer. She scared off the cougar and packed the deer home,” said Andrew Spray, a volunteer tour guide. Vine, who lived on Glen Rosa Farm near Matheson Lake, died in 1907 at the age of 82. John Witty, the man Witty’s Lagoon is
named after, is also buried there. He donated the money for the St. Mary the Virgin church and cemetery to be built. After being kicked by a horse, he died two days before the church was consecrated. PlEASE SEE: Cemetery tours open to all, Page A8

Vehicles parked in prohibited areas may be subject to a tow. “Towing is a last resort,” said district administrator Chris Coates. “It’s the last thing we want to do. This has been very problematic.” Parking has been a growing issue on Ross Durrance Road, but Coates points out it is no longer just a summer issue. This year the district received complaints and concerns in the winter as well. “The population of the parks has really outgrown the parking lots,” said Jane Mendum, mayor of Highlands. “The parking at Pease Lake is very small and only allows for a couple of cars.” Along the road there are some areas where there is room for vehicles to park as well as the parking lot at Mount Work Park. charla@goldstream gazette.com

Letter mail bound for Mainland Edward Hill
IN BRIEF
Bridge work not delayed by steel shortage
News staff
In Greater Victoria, a letter mailed to your neighbour across the street will journey through the Lower Mainland and back, starting in September. Canada Post will shut down processing of local letters at its Glanford Avenue plant starting Sept. 16. All mail currently split between mailboxes as “on Vancouver Island” and “off Vancouver Island” will merge into one for a trip across the water. Victoria’s Canada Post plant will continue to process parcels and other mail that can’t be sorted automatically. “I think (delivery) will be slower,” said Janet Barney, president of the United Postal Workers of Canada local 850 and a letter carrier in Langford. “Canada Post says standards will be maintained, but it is being slowly eroded. “Letters (in Victoria) used to be process that night and on the street the next day. That is gone.” Barney clarified that while 10 positions in the automated sorting section will be eliminated, those employees have job security and can bid on vacant positions elsewhere in the city. “Victoria is losing 10 well-paid, stable jobs,” she said. “The community is affected. Those jobs are going to Vancouver.” Canada Post disputes the union numbers and says five positions in Victoria will be lost through attrition. The corporation insists delivery service levels won’t change – the standard for local-to-local mail service remains two days. Anick Losier, spokeswoman for Canada Post in Ottawa, said the reality is most mail in Victoria is sorted in Vancouver already – mail deposited in any mailbox in Victoria before 5 p.m. is shipped to the Mainland, and any mail after 5 p.m. is shipped to the Saanich plant. A network of Canada Post trucks travel between Vancouver Island and Vancouver multiple times each day, Losier said. “We are using the existing network. There is space on the trucks,” she said. “The equipment in Vancouver processes 40,000 letters per hour. The process is faster than the Victoria facility.” The Glandford plant at the winter holiday peak processes 100,000 letters per day, Losier said, and about half that in the summer. “Victoria will continue to process parcels and

Janet Barney, president of the United Postal Workers of Canada local 850 and a Langford letter carrier, said mail delivery in Greater Victoria will erode when sorting shifts to Vancouver. direct marketing mail. Those are two lines of business we are trying to grow,” she said. The centralization and restructuring of mail delivery is the continuation of Canada Post trying to stem losses due to less people mailing letters – a billion less per year compared to 2006 and 2012. A business model that relies on earning half its revenue from delivering letters “isn’t sustainable,” Losier said. “What we are trying to do is maximize our equipment and maximize our people’s time. … Consumers expect us to make responsible decisions.” Barney argued that Canada Post is “making millions” and isn’t a burden on taxpayers, especially from the growth in parcel delivery generated from online shopping. In its 2013 first quarter report, the corporation noted the parcel business isn’t yet large enough to offset losses in letter mail. That said, it posted profits over the last two fiscal quarters after losses through most of
2011-12. Canada Post points out that it would have lost a total of $127 million had it not sold its property on Georgia Street in Vancouver – that plant is still operating until a new facility is opened in 2014 at the Vancouver airport – and renegotiated benefits and salaries with the UPWC. “An influx of parcels by six or seven per cent is not enough to compensate for the loss of letters,” Losier said. Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison doubts Canada Post can maintain its service levels in Victoria, calling the shift to Vancouver “a short sighted decision.” The community is losing jobs and the reputation of Canada Post is eroding further, he said. “Canada Post says the same level of service will be maintained. You have to laugh out loud. To think the service will be the same is ludicrous.” editor@saanichnews.com
A North American steel shortage affecting the completion date of the Craigflower Bridge isn’t causing delays on the Johnson Street Bridge replacement project, according to city officials. PCL Constructors is sourcing steel for the city span from China, having locked in a price at the end of 2012, said Katie Josephson, City of Victoria spokeswoman. However, PCL still needs to find steel for the bridge’s pile caissons, reinforcing and other elements from a North American producer. The bridge is being replaced at a cost of $92.8 million and is scheduled for completion in late 2015.

ture fire. Dunlop will lead a workshop explaining what homeowners can do to help make homes more fire resistant. “People need to be concerned, a small ember could start a house fire,” she said. Homeowners will learn different risks from selected building materials including asphalt verses cedar shingles. “Do people have pine needles on their roof and in their gutters? There are also some plants that carry oils and burn easier than others,” Dunlop explained.
Having some green grass growing around a home can slow down a fire and Dunlop advises people to regularly water areas around the home. “It’ll be less likely to catch on fire,” she said. “These are the types of proactive things you want to do.

Area Girl Guides program at risk Dozen volunteers needed for units in Greater Victoria Kyle Slavin News staff
Girl Guides of Canada is in dire need of adult volunteers in Greater Victoria, so young girls in Brownies, Sparks, Guides and Pathfinders don’t find themselves missing opportunities. Colene Wood, public relations advisor for the southern Vancouver Island area, says there are leader to girl ratios that need to be met to run a Girl Guide unit, and right now some 1,250 girls are interested in participating with too few lead-
ers to meet the need. “If we got 10 or 15 we would be ecstatic, that would allow us to not close units – but 20 to 25 would be ideal,” she said. While a unit closure usually results in girls being moved to a different unit nearby – like schools, units have catchment areas – a lack of skilled adults means fewer opportunities like camps and outdoor trips. Chloe Faught, a leader for the Girl Guides’ outdoor adventure program Trex, points to camping as an example of where
skilled leaders with first aid are mandatory for such an excursion. “We can get innovative – some leaders with certain skills can be on call (to help out another unit), but everything’s thinner. It makes everything a little bit harder,” she said. Faught says there are great benefits to adults interested in volunteering, from their own personal growth to training for new skills. “We have financial trainings, we have enrichment trainings on things like antibullying and inclusiveness, there’s conflict resolution training, music training, drama
training,” she said. “You can also get reimbursements for thirdparty training like first aid or FoodSafe.” It’s through these trainings that Faught says she’s gained the most as a volunteer leader. “For me, I like that I’ve been able to build up my skill set, and then I enjoy the challenge of finding a way to give that skill to youth,” she said. “The reward you get out of kids going, ‘Yes, I can do this,’ makes it all worthwhile.” Adult women interested in volunteering as a Girl Guide leader are encouraged to visit bc-girlguides.org/joinguiding.

Tread carefully with ship contract Various individuals and organizations want the province to force B.C. Ferries management to have three newly announced ships built by a B.C. shipyard. But it’s not as simple as just mandating it, then standing back and telling the ferry corporation to just “get ’er done.” Even Brian Carter, Best value vs. the president of Shipyards, local jobs decision Seaspan which owns and must be province’s operates Victoria Shipyards in Esquimalt, acknowledged his company will have to look at what’s being asked for first, before it can determine whether it even has the capacity and infrastructure to commit to such a project. A perfect scenario for the Capital Region would see the ships built in B.C., constructed on time and on budget, and with much of the work and jobs coming to Victoria Shipyards, the largest of Seaspan’s three facilities in this province. But as the ferry corporation found when it commissioned its Celebration-class vessels some years back, international companies are well-equipped to handle such orders and will provide stiff competition for B.C. firms that are only in recent years picking up steam again. We’d love to trumpet the regional economic activity that would be created by the further expansion of shipbuilding capabilities in Esquimalt. At the same time, all of us as taxpayers will be footing the bill for those ferries, and it behooves the corporation to seek out the best value for money in this transaction. Determining whether the creation of a significant number of short-term, well-paying jobs is more important than the potential to overspend for this project, if the bidding was not opened up to a worldwide competition, is a job for government, not the B.C. Ferry Corporation. The Liberals, despite saying they will let B.C. Ferries make the final decision, have to make sure the corporation is absolutely clear on government’s viewpoint on that issue.

there was life on Earth there was no food for animals like us because everything we eat was once alive. We consume the carcasses of animals and plants and absorb their molecules to form every part of our bodies. We also anticipated that and brought food. In fact, I expected to stay a while and brought seeds to grow greens. But where could I plant them? There would be dust, sand, clay and gravel, but no soil because it’s formed by the accumulation of molecules from the remains of plants and animals. Finally, the sun sets and although it’s warm because of greenhouse gases, we decide to build a fire so we can sit around and exchange stories. Where could we find fuel to burn? Wood, peat, dung, coal, oil and gas all store the sun’s energy as photosynthetic products that we burn to liberate fire. Before life, there was no fuel. Again, in anticipation we brought wood, kindling and paper and set them up for a fire. But fire requires oxygen, so nothing happens when we strike the match. The point of this exercise is to illustrate that the very foundations of our lives – air, water, photosynthesis, soil and food – are made possible by the web of life that evolved on a once-sterile planet. Living organisms on land and in oceans, including us, create, cleanse and regenerate those vital elements. Who needs nature? We do. Without nature, we would not be here.

LETTERS Columnist’s opinion another knee-jerk reaction Re: CRD losing ground in sewage debate (Simon Nattrass, July 19) Nattrass opines that flushing raw sewage, detergents, road runoff, antibiotics and other chemicals into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is a bad idea. This is the mindset that is driving us down the road to spending billions of unnecessary dollars. The poopinto-ocean-equals-bad attitude is a knee-jerk reaction not based on science.

As for detergents, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, I agree we should do something about that, but the currently proposed treatment plan won’t do it. I’m not sure the technology exists to do that yet. And road runoff? That is the storm drain system and doesn’t even belong in this discussion. Please, please, please, can we get a firm scientific backing before we make the decision to spend a bunch of money now, then a bunch more every year to support this wrong-headed plan.

And for the thousands of British Columbians who had their meters replaced against their wishes and want them reinstalled, again congratulations are in order, for more jobs will be saved there. Energy Minister Bill Bennett is appreciated for acknowledging the legal, moral and health grounds smart meter opponents stand on. However, to be charged an extra fee to have our meters read amounts to double-dipping, in that this cost has always been factored into our B.C. Hydro bills. Keep the meter readers and
keep the same rates. We didn’t ask the Liberal government to undertake this costly and wasteful enterprise. Why should we pay for it as well, and again and again? Helene Harrison Victoria
Many transgressions through Canada’s past Re: Columnist’s portrayal of Canada was “disgusting’. (Letters, July 12). It is no surprise really that D. Gramlich sees Canada through rose-coloured glasses. Our education system has deliberately avoided teaching the truth about Canada’s history. This has been very convenient for those who want to develop the resources of the land and inhabit the land. I am 61 and have begun educating myself about what First Nations people want and why their lives are often full of struggle. The last residential school closed in 1997. The damage these schools have done to First Nations families and communities will need

many generations of recovery. The public library has a wealth of books and documentaries if you care to open your eyes. Canada was consulted by South Africa, which wanted a plan to deal with its ‘native problem.’ They modelled their anti-apartheid system on our reservation system. We can close our eyes, look the other way, deny what is going on and blame the victims but nothing will change. We cannot move into a new future without healing the rift between colonists and First Nations. The standard of living of many aboriginal people in Canada is as bad as any indigenous people in the world. I take no joy in Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Victoria Day or any celebration where we pat ourselves on the back for what we have done in 100 or 150 years. I am not proud of what we have done, as we have polluted, plundered and left much of a beautiful pristine land poisoned and uninhabitable. Dawn Heiden Saanich

“The first service in the church was John Witty’s funeral,” said Spray. The small cemetery is packed with stories and interesting facts the volunteers want to share from the graves of both First and Second World War veterans to the very first boy scout in the world, Lord Rodney who was born Nov. 2, 1891 and died Dec. 18, 1973. “The history of Metchosin is totally tied up in here,” said
volunteer Werner Faust. Plots are still available for purchase, but only to longtime residents and church members. “People who come to the tour may be in here one day,” said volunteer Doug Ruth. The free cemetery tours run on Aug. 18 from 2 to 5 p.m. and are open to the public.

VICTORIA’S ULTIMATE GET OUT GUIDE
LIBRARY
promotes local music BY MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com
S
ome might think the library is a thing of the past — but “it’s more than a pile of old dusty books,” says circulation assistant Kaya Fraser. And Victorians should rejoice, because the Greater Victoria Public Library is an innovative one, with a mandate to find new ways to connect with the community and “inspire the joy of discovery through programs, collections and training opportunities,” according to the organization’s strategic plan. And the GVPL is doing just that when it launches a new collection dedicated solely to local music, July 29, at the three main district branches — Central, Nellie McClung and Juan de Fuca. The new collection was the idea of Cheryl Landry, music specialist and public services librarian, who pitched the concept almost three years ago. “It wasn’t until a year ago that the timing, money and logistics came together, so I put in a proposal,” she says. While there are many local music titles in the current collection, they weren’t easily searchable using the term “local.” “It’s always been lumped in with the respective genres,” says Landry. “It hasn’t been obvious, so we wanted to expand that, and decided to create a collection where local is the focus.” To begin, Landry sought out the help of the savvy staff at Ditch Records and CDs. “They gave us some great recommendations and we purchased what we could from them,” says Landry. She then put out a call to the Victoria Conservatory of Music, the department of music at UVic and the larger community using social media. “I didn’t need to go any further,” she says. “I spent the initial budget. We do have a certain amount of the CD budget earmarked to add to the collection each year, but the music has to meet a certain criteria. We had to start somewhere.” To start things off, GVPL has amassed more than 150 unique titles in the collection, often with multiple copies. The artists need to have a strong connection to Victoria, Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands and the music had to be of professional quality, and commercially produced within the last five years.

“It’s quite a wide range. We have the typical pop and rock, plus indie, folk, singer-songwriter, jazz, big band, choral. There’s even a violinist who’s been nominated for a Grammy,” says Landry. Landry herself studied music in university and thought the idea of a local music collection would be a great way to support the local music community while encouraging Victorians to listen to something new. “I think it’s important to support artists in general. Libraries’ roles are changing. We’re less curators of the past and more supporters of new ideas and creations. We want to create a record of musical life in the area, but also promote the artists and also inspire new collaborations — and hopefully allow the general public than might not frequent coffee houses or local music events to come across new music in a different way.” To kick off the collection, GVPL is hosting the Local MusicFest from 2-5 p.m., Saturday, July 27 in Centennial Square. The free event features live music by eight artists featured in the local music collection, including Sets in the West, Renata Young, Ethan Caleb, Alan Jossul, Balkan Babes, One Bright Morning, Ocean Noise and Kaya Fraser Band. Fraser, a roots-rock singer-songwriter, is backed by a three piece band that includes Carl Cavanagh on bass. Cavanagh works alongside Fraser and Landry as a librarian at the GVPL Central branch. “This is a very clear gesture of support for the local music community,” says Fraser. “It’s a way for people to discover things, because increasingly people want to try before they buy. Even though they’re not buying a CD when they take it out from the library, they may well go out and buy a CD or go to a show and as a musician the number one thing I want is to get into people’s ears.” “Some of the music was already in our collection, but it’s not easy to find. There’s no way to search for music that is specifically local and it’s a great idea to use local as a search term and be able to browse a separate collection. The concert is just the icing on the cake.” People in attendance will get the first crack at checking out items from the new collection, which will be available in the branches the following Monday. Bring your library card or have one made on the spot. gvpl.ca.

s promised, jazz singer Emily Braden has returned from the bustle of New York city, if only for a couple of shows. Braden reunites with Oliver Swain’s Big Machine tonight (July 26) at Upstairs Cabaret. The band also features fiddler Jaron Freeman-Fox and 17-year-old guitarist Quinn Bachand. It’s a homecoming for Braden, originally from Idaho, who lived here for seven years while doing her undergraduate and graduate studies in Spanish at the University of Victoria. During that time she came into her own as an artist and since relocated to pursue the jazz dream. “Living between both cities was getting to be a bit much but it feels like home in Victoria. It’s where I became myself as an artist. “Victoria is such a place for recharging, I’m looking forward to seeing all the friends here and touring some festivals. I love Canada and am looking forward to seeing different places there,” she said. Singing provides the bulk of Braden’s New York income but she also works with the Washington Heights CORNER Project, (cornerproject.org/connect-2/meet-our-par-
ticipants), a harm reduction initiative on the streets of New York City. Speaking Spanish is part of the gig and is paramount to her effectiveness, given the large Spanish-speaking population. “Music in New York is all about the hustle but it’s also such a tough thing in NYC so I’m lucky I’m so passionate about the CORNER Project,” she said. The 2012 New York City Best of the Best jazz vocalist winner was on Oliver Swain’s 2010 album In a Big Machine, so expect a lot of material from that, she said. It’s going to be a work in progress as she only arrived a week ago. Braden’s jazz vocals will be reintegrated as a backup singer to Swain, adding a gospel element to the songs. “(Swain) and I are musical soulmates. I’m more of a jazz head and he’s into more of a roots and bluegrass scene, but he helped me write my first tune in his atrium. We both like to make music and branch out, it’s going to be fun to figure out how to sing with him (again).” The group kicked off its upcoming tour in Duncan on Thursday and will hit cities throughout B.C. and Alberta well into August. Braden will return for The Victoria Django Festival on Aug. 9.

The Little Prince monday’s movies
J
ust as one’s DNA can reveal family traits, astrology does likewise. An astrological peek reveals the new prince George is a Cancer with Mercury, Mars and Jupiter in Cancer. If this baby had been born 36 minutes later, he would be a Leo - the sign of royalty. But he has plenty of royal company in GeorGia Cancer. NicoLs The baby’s father, Prince William, has Sun and Moon in Cancer; his mother Kate has her Moon in Cancer, and his grandmother Princess Diana was a Cancer. Cancer signs are nurturing. Meanwhile, Kate is a Capricorn and the baby has Moon in Capricorn. And his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth is Capricorn Rising. Lots of similarities. Capricorn is a perfectionist sign that rules the government. Because of his birth so close to Leo, he shares qualities of both Leo and Cancer. And indeed, Queen Elizabeth has Moon in Leo, and Prince Charles is Leo Rising. In turn, Charles is a Scorpio and the baby is Scorpio Rising. These two - the new prince and his grandfather will click amazingly. Watch for future photos. There is also a strong Sagittarius influence coming from his grandmother Diana, who was Sagittarius Rising. This gives him a freedom-seeking quality that adores travel and will love to be outside enjoying sports and physical activities. First and foremost, he will strive to become a better person in this lifetime. He’ll be attracted to self-help books, courses and activities for self-improvement. He will seek principles to govern his life so he can feel confident that by adhering to these principles, he can live fearlessly. He will also love to travel. But he will not seek out the popularity of his uncle Harry. He will have fewer friends, but steadfast, lifelong buddies. He is strong, wilful, and yet, an imaginative dreamer who thinks in pictures. There is much passion in his chart. (Oh yes, we have a little stud muffin in the making.) He’ll have heightened sexual energy, a debonair demeanour plus a love of mystery and intrigue. He will be secretive. In fact, his chart shows he will fall heir to secret information. One royal tradition that will happily be carried on - from generations before him - is his love of animals and outdoor sports. This young prince is indeed a delightful addition to the royal family.

ED is a fictitious (one hopes) CIA acronym for “retired, extremely dangerous” and was first used as the title of a droll and violent black comedy three years ago, wherein two retired CIA buddies were the subjects of a mysterious CIA assassination plot. Happily, Frank (Bruce Willis) and Marvin (John Malkovich) were able to show the youngsters a thing or three about lethal “wetwork,” and went on to not only save themselves but also save the day as they short-circuited a dire conspiracy. The movie was a hit and Frank and Marvin are back in RED 2, and reunited with MI6 counterpart Victoria (Helen Mirren, who claims she based her purse-lipped and murderous character on Martha Stewart) and Frank’s girlfriend, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), who is eager to join in on all the action even though Frank just wants to play house with his civilian cutie. Adding to the fun, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and David Thewlis are scenery-chewing ride-alongs. Once again, these crusty, squabbling characters find themselves evading a large contingent of agents trying to blow them up or mow them down. It’s all part of a baroque, globetrotting plot that centres on a Cold War-era nuclear bomb that has been hiding somewhere in Moscow for 30 years and is now coveted by various factions. The storyline is both generic and messy, and much of the violence seems unnecessary. In truth this would just be a cable flick were it not for all the great performers, whose alchemical wit and panache elevate brutal banality into passable entertainment. Rating: ★★½ RED 2 continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, and Westshore.
True believers
W
ith our very own terrorist bomb scare so recently in the news, it’s useful to remember that extremist anti-war groups in the 1970s such as The Weather Underground brought a shocking level of homegrown violence to American soil. That murderous legacy is examined in The Company You Keep, a thoughtful drama directed by and starring Robert Redford. Jim Grant (Redford) is a decent lawyer and family man who’s been a pillar of his community for 30 years. But the unexpected arrest of terrorist fugitive Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon), wanted for the long-ago murder of a bank guard, sends a keen young reporter named Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) sniffing around Grant. And Grant, whose real name is Nick Sloan, is wanted on that same warrant. So he goes on the lam in the middle of the night, just steps ahead of a pugnacious FBI agent (Terrence Howard) determined to take him down.
What follows is a low-key thriller as much as a drama, one that examines the morality of violent protest as well as the scars borne by idealists who convinced themselves that the use of lethal force was appropriate when their country was engaged in an unjust war (and was beating and even killing its own student protestors). As Grant/Sloan furtively reconnects with several Weather alumni in search of an ex-lover of the time (Julie Christie) who may hold the key to his dilemma, he is pursued by Shepard as well as the FBI. And the film suggests that both an FBI agent ruthlessly wielding state power and an ambitious reporter with no regard for the collateral damage his front-page stories inflict on the innocent, are carrying their own payload of moral taint. A decent albeit occasionally talky film, Company should get an award for its amazing cast, which includes Nick Nolte, Chris Cooper, Stanley Tucci, and Brendan Gleeson. Although it lacks the savvy political edge of All The President’s Men, this is part of cinema’s vanishing breed: a film for adults. Rating: ★★★ The Company You Keep plays July 26-27 at UVic’s Cinecenta.

A man was taken to hospital Tuesday morning after a Victoria police cruiser rearended his compact car on Bay Street in Victoria. Both vehicles were travelling west on Bay when the compact car signalled for a left turn onto Cedar Hill Road and was hit. The car driver was taken to hospital as a precaution. His fouryear-old passenger was uninjured, as were the officer and a prisoner being transported. The Independent Investigations Office and Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner were notified.

This year’s Ecoentrepreneur nominees must run, and be the creator of, a small or large business, including home-based or franchise, with an environmental/green focus. Nominees’ business practices must demonstrate knowledge of and adherence to ecofriendly principles. Recognizing that a successful business also relies on the sig-

The Above and Beyond category is open to female employees of any business in Greater Victoria who demonstrate dedication that goes beyond their job description. The successful nominee will be a veteran of her industry who continues to make her mark in both her career and community. The Rising Star award is presented to a woman who may be new to her industry, but is making her mark as an employee of any business in Greater Victoria. Nominees will demonstrate creativ-

All complete nominations will be reviewed and finalists will be contacted directly. Look for award winners in the Women in Business special section published this October. editor@vicnews.com

Teddy Jenner knew he needed to make a better impression to get onto Sportsnet Drafted. After four years of failed attempts, Jenner has cracked the reality show’s final 24 and will attend a four day bootcamp in Toronto beginning Aug. 11. Audtitions took place in Vancouver during a weekend in May, and Jenner was in the area with the Juan de Fuca pee wee A2 boys lacrosse team, which he coached. Auditions took place on a Saturday, but Jenner’s first audition didn’t sit well, so he went back on Sunday. “They were surprised, but I didn’t need any prep time. I talked about what the Canucks need to do to succeed, which is not my team. I had to show them I’m more than just a one-trick pony.” His trick, if you can
Victoria United U-21 men’s squad ended its season with a disappointing 8-0 drubbing by the Penticton Pinnacles on Sunday. Both of United’s premier and U-21 squads finished outside of the playoffs in the Pacific Coast Soccer League reserves division. “It’s a bit of a disappointment not playing at RAP for the first time in 20 years but we had both teams practising on the field at the same time at Braefoot Park and had a great transition year there,” said Bill Anderson of United’s board of directors. United carried around 45 players on its two teams this year despite being bumped from RAP by baseball’s Victoria HarbourCats and the PDL Victoria Highlanders. The Highlanders men are off to California for the PDL Western Conference Championship semifinals against the Ventura County Fusion. Meanwhile the powerhouse Peninsula Co-op Highlanders women’s team has drawn the Kamloops Heat for Saturday. It’s the first match in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Dave Fryatt Challenge Cup playoffs in Coquitlam. A win puts the Co-op Highlanders into Sunday’s final. sports@vicnews.com

But anyone who knows the former Victoria Shamrocks player (and Mann Cup winner) knows he is passionate about sports, and isn’t confined to box lacrosse. It just so happens, however, that he’s become the Bob McKenzie of box lacrosse in Canada. He hosts a weekly radio show Off the Crosse Bar, which features the games’ top athletes, coaches and general
managers. The lacrosse community isn’t big, but it’s tight, and he’s constantly under the microscope. Now he’s out to prove that he can handle the same pressure as a Sportsnet sportscaster. When he got the call in June it came from last year’s winner, Matt Drapel, and it didn’t come easy. “He called me ‘fivetime Teddy,’ and actually had me convinced
I wasn’t on the show, but was just toying with me because I want it so bad.” Jenner is second in online voting, which would give him immunity into the final six. For a month he’ll live in Toronto and compete against 24 other contestants including Victoria’s Justin Kelly, who was featured in the News recently. Visit Teddy Jenner’s Drafted Facebook site to vote for him.
