Despite protests, sewage plan marches on Daniel Palmer News staff

Capital Regional District directors once again shut down a motion by naysayers last week to pull the reins on the region’s secondary sewage treatment project. Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward a motion for an independent review of the plan and extension of the compliance deadline, both in an effort to appease many res-

idents who feel their concerns have not been heard. The motion was defeated last Wednesday by directors 10-4, or 41-14 when weighted for population size. Two disparate perspectives seem to be solidifying among local politicians. A majority of directors are publicly committed to the current plan because of a strict federally mandated compliance deadline of 2020 and the fear of losing federal and provincial

funding, two-thirds of the project’s $783-million price tag. On the other side, a minority of directors that include Derman, View Royal Mayor Graham Hill, Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton and Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins believe public confidence in the project continues to erode due to poor consultation. “There is huge concern in the general public in terms of trust, confidence and

confusion as to what the heck is going on,” Desjardins said. “We’re not doing ourselves any service down at CRD by not taking a pause, making sure we’ve answered those questions, and getting communities to come onside. You do that by understanding and by listening to them.” PleaSe See: CRD well into proposal process, Page A4

Church celebrates century It’s likely been a long time since anyone arrived to church in a horse-drawn buggy, but all will have the chance at the St. John the Baptist Heritage Church Centennial on Saturday. With people in period costumes, old fashioned games for children and traditional crafts on display, the church grounds will look like a regular Sunday community gathering circa 1913. Kyle Wells “The celebration is about Reporting the church, about the community and about the history of the church,” said Coun. Shari Lukens. “It’s not just about celebrating 100 years, it’s about commemorating what the church has been to the community and to many people in the community.” St. John the Baptist Church (537 Glencairn Lane) was completed in October 1913, constructed due to the efforts of the Colwood Women’s Institute, spearheaded by Laura Dunsmuir and Edith Peatt. Arthur Peatt donated the land and H.O. Miles constructed the building, using lumber milled from trees cut down to make way for Cemetery Lane. Bishop John Charles Rope, Rural Dean W. BaughAllen and Rev. H.B. Hadlow dedicating the church, then simply called St. John’s Church, on Oct. 26, 1913 and the church’s cemetery was consecrated and registered six days later. For a century since it has served as a fixture of the community and now stands as an important historical site. The Westshore Community Church and the Church of the Holy Trinity also still hold services in the church every Sunday. When the Church of the Advent opened in 1986 the plan was to tear down the old St. John the Baptist. On Trinity Sunday of that year the 200 parishBack then: ioners from the church The church itself were led by Rev. Joseph was consecrated Titus to the new Church on March 3, 1915, of the Advent. at which time the In 1992 the City of Colfirst confirmations wood began negotiations were also held. with the Anglican Diocese to purchase the church and restore it as a historical site. The city purchased the church for one dollar in 1996. In 1999 Pioneer Cemetery and St. John Cemetery were made heritage properties. With the 100 year anniversary now here, even more attention is being paid to resurrect the church and let residents know of its ties to the community. Committee volunteer Dick Emery said his memories of the church mostly involve his mother drag-

Though he may not have been a fan at the time, it’s now the church which brings back memories of his mother, a sentiment that keeps Emery interested in seeing it preserved. “Here I am. It’s been a fun experience, done a lot of hands on work,” Emery said. An original stained-glass window from the church is at the Church of the Advent, just down the road. A new one is being made to replace it directly above the altar in St. John’s. The window will not be ready until after the celebration. A service will kick off the celebration from 11 to 11:30 a.m. (seating is limited), before the rest of the events begin.

Live music will also be performed throughout the day. A heritage tea and fashion show is planned, along with free refreshments and cake. Inside the church, the Four Seasons Musical Theatre group will perform a brief piece centred around the people who built Colwood, such as the Dunsmuirs and the Peatts. The play will end in a hymn and then a dance to “The Maple Leaf Rag,” a popular tune from the time period. Parking will be down the cemetery road from the church, but visitors will be escorted to the church by horse and buggy. The Aug. 24 event is free, funded through Heritage Canada and the city. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

As a part of the St. John the Baptist Centennial Celebration couple Armin Lampe and Birgit Marschall will tie the knot in a period style wedding in the historic church. As the couple exchanges vows they will celebrate a relationship which spans decades but has only recently come to true fruition. Both Lampe and Marschall are German, and met in Hamburg when Marschall was 14 years old and Lampe was 16. Lampe, now 52, was living with his half-brother at the time and through a serious of connections Marschall ended up coming to their place one day. When the two saw each other it was love at first sight. “This was it. Birg and I from that day on were together on a daily basis, did everything together,” Lampe said. Lampe grew up in an orphanage and with various members of his family at different times. An unfortunate result of the tumultuous upbringing was a deep fear of abandonment. This fear led to Lampe breaking off his relationship with Marschall, a heartbreaking decision for both of them. Over the years the two went their own ways. Lampe moved to Canada in about 1986 after visiting and falling in love with Vancouver Island. Marschall stayed in Hamburg and worked for the city. Both had married and had families. Around 2011 Lampe’s daughter managed to connect to a distant relative via Facebook. Lampe wanted to talk to the same relative so he joined the social media site. A day or two later he received a message from Marschall. They began to write one another. Both in failing marriages, they started emailing each other daily. They talked on Skype. They spoke over the phone. They wrote letters and sent parcels. Their circumstances changed and both knew they had to reconnect. “We had to see each other,” Lampe said. “The first time she came out of the airplane she was

so excited, so was I, but so scared. … We looked at each other and we kissed, and we held each other, and it was like I always knew her. We knew right there and then, the two of us knew … this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Marschall moved to Canada permanently four months ago. “Love came together and love will stay together. What we always wanted is getting old together, staying together,” Lampe said. “The whole story is about the continuous search for love. In the search of love, I went back to the first love. Real love.” The couple, who now live in Sooke, had planned to get married a few weeks ago but were having a hard time finding the right venue. Their marriage commissioner told them about the centennial event and they thought it would be a lovely way to celebrate their union. “The way it just came together, I believe someone was watching over us the whole time and put it all together, because I couldn’t have put it better together,” Lampe said. “What a great opportunity to have.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Back then:

The first recorded wedding took place on Dec. 11, 1920 when William Gray and Freda Knevitt tied the knot. The first burial took place in 1919, when Rev. Arthur Wells was laid to rest after serving the church as rector of the church from 1914 to 1918.

CRD well into proposal process Continued from Page A1

The CRD is well into its request for proposals process for a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point, scheduled for completion by 2016. Esquimalt has made that process more dubious by tweaking zoning approval to encourage commercial, residential and amenity development on the site in conjunction with the CRD project. In a statement released last week, CRD chair Alistair Bryson

said alternative sewage treatment options have already been considered and deemed to be too costly, and an appointed seven-person commission of unelected officials is already well underway in planning the current project. “Pursuit of a new or parallel process could undermine the independence and work of the commission and significantly delay the entire project,” Bryson said. Desjardins warned public dis-

content isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. “Many members of the public are trying to provide alternatives and questions that would provide better options and they’re being shut down, and that is not acceptable,” she said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Police seek two after car crash

Police are on the lookout for two youth involved in a single-car collision in View Royal on Sunday. At about 5:45 p.m. West Shore RCMP received a call from B.C. Ambulance about a single-vehicle collision. A red Chevrolet Cavalier went off the road at the intersection of Admirals and Cooper roads. The car crashed into a bush and narrowly missed hitting a home. Police are trying to locate two people witnessed fleeing. The girls are described as being between 17 and 20 years old. One was wearing a pink hoodie and black shorts with flip flops, while the other was wearing a black hoodie with black short and flip flops. RCMP ask anyone with any information to call the detachment at 250-474-2264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Colwood fire kills two cats

A house fire in Colwood on Saturday resulted in the death of two cats. At about 3 a.m. the Colwood Fire Department was called to a house in the 2300block of Sooke Rd. The house was heavily engulfed with fire by the time crews from both Colwood and View Royal arrived. Firefighters managed to get the fire under control in about 20 minutes. All three residents of the house managed to get out, but two were sent to the hospital as a precaution for smoke inhalation. Two cats died in the blaze. Damage to the house is estimated at about $100,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation by West Shore RCMP major crime unit and the Colwood Fire Department. The RCMP says the fire does not appear to be suspicious. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Easter Seals colourful run comes to Royal Roads

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Charla Huber News staff

Colours will fly at Royal Roads University and runners at the Splash of Color Easter Seals fundraiser are bound to get a little dirty. The event is inspired by the Holi celebration in India – a traditional spring festival of colours. On the West Shore the summertime Splash of Color will be Aug. 25. Each of five colour stations along the four-kilometre course at Royal Roads University will shower participants in a different colour. “As people run or walk through a station they will get colour thrown on them,” said Shannon Bernays, director of Vancouver Island special events for Easter Seals. “It’s a dry splatter.” At the end of the run the participants will be covered in pink, purple, green, blue and yellow. The coloured powders are manufactured in India and Easter Seal organizers purchased them from a Hare Krishna Temple in Utah. “It’s essentially cornstarch with natural colours,” said Bernays. Registration for the event is $40 and all participants will receive a T-shirt and sunglasses. Children six and younger are free, but if they want the T-shirt and sunglasses they must pay $40.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow

Can glasses weaken my eyes? There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientific basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes becomes less flexible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably. Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postponement or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efficiency and even one’s safety.

The Splash of Color fundraiser at Royal Roads University on Aug. 25 will leave participants covered in coloured powder. All the proceeds go Easter Seals Camp Shawinigan for children with mental, cognitive or physical disabilities. Each year 300 campers attend the week-long camps at $2,400 per child. Fundraisers, such as Splash of Colour cover the camping costs for the children, aside from a $100 registration fee. “At the camp the kids get to focus on their abilities not their disabilities,” Bernays said. “They get to enjoy camp with their peers.” Splash of Color is at Royal Roads University, 2005 Sooke Rd., and begins at 10 a.m. For more information www. splashofcolor.ca charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Lessons of a lagging economy T

his month students from across the province and the country, and an increasing number from out of country, will flood into Greater Victoria for their postsecondary education. All told, on the order of 35,000 full- and parttime students will be attending post-secondary classes at the University of Victoria, Camosun College or Royal Roads University, which is a few thousand more people than the population of Langford, or nearly 10 per cent of the region’s population. As much as Victoria is a government town and a military headquarters, it is an education town too, with plenty of high-paying instructor and professor jobs, and support staff to make the educational industry tick. After a few years of flat growth, UVic is seeing an upswing in new student numbers, about 500 more than last year. Camosun College’s student numbers, by contrast, are falling, but overall there is a net growth in post-secondary students. Any increase is generally good for Greater Victoria’s economy – students spend on tuition, housing, food and entertainment. UVic’s 2012 economic impact analysis of 15,000 full-time students pegs direct spending at $177 million annually. A Camosun College economic impact study estimated that students that come from outside Greater Victoria collectively spend at least $7 million per year in the region. The reason why UVic is seeing an increase in student numbers is complex – admissions criteria and marketing can play a role, but the economy tends to be the prime mover – people go to school when times are tough and hopefully finish school during an upswing in the economy. But since the 2008-09 recession, governments and many companies have remained in a cycle of cutting spending and reducing jobs, either through attrition or direct layoffs. Despite a highly advertized jobs plan, B.C. is creating few jobs, especially for new university graduates trying to launch a career. More students in post-seconary is generally good for society, but hopefully it’s also not another sign of a sputtering B.C. economy.

In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

OPINION

Confronting a spouse’s haunted memories When my late wife Peggy was a little girl in England, she had a life-changing shock. A nearby building was a slaughterhouse that converted her pet cows and calves into meat. One day, she wandered in and saw it happening. That experience made her a vegetarian – or partvegetarian. Fish-and-chips encased in outer layers of newspaper was comfort food for her. She didn’t know any of the fish personally. There are twists and undercurrents in the thoughts you share with a close partner. Peggy was tuned in to spooky events. As a child, she saw fairies

G.E. Mortimore Think about it dancing on a circle of moss under a tree. They were real to her. She hadn’t talked about them to anyone else. Apart from a small item in a magazine, for which she gave permission, I have not betrayed her trust until now.

As a child, she saw a giant face gazing through the window of her secondfloor bedroom in Poole, Dorset. Years later, when she was grown and riding in one of the old single compartments of a Southern Railway train running from Corfe Castle to Poole, she found herself alone with a weird, scary woman. Those compartments had no exit within the train. The outside door was the only way out. The fellow rider woman had hypnotic, staring eyes and kept beckoning Peggy to jump from the train. When that train stopped at Poole station, however, Peggy realized she was

alone. The woman with the staring eyes was no longer there. I sold a story of the haunted train to the old Fate magazine, which served ghost-believers. For that I slipped into the role of fatherly storyteller. Peggy wanted to hear tales of smart crows that solved problems and had adventures. I made up many crow stories to overshadow the pesky, worrisome events of the day. The story telling and childhood-secrets phase of our lives lasted about a year. We never recognized it until it was over, and my wife was telling the secret things to our children. I doubt that Peggy the

Thirty acres for a park may sound like a lot of land to some people but we know, given what’s happening in the CRD with development today, it’s nothing compared to the amount of land being paved over (and degraded). The two municipalities that would benefit from this new park, View Royal and Saanich, should collaborate and make this proposal a reality. Who cares which municipality would have more of the park situated within its boundaries? People travel all over these days,

Lower speed limits dumbs down driving Re: Speed limits need a rethink, (Our View, Aug. 16) Your editorial bias is made perfectly clear. After saying the subject of chopping speed limits is up for reasoned debate, you then heap praise on those Luddites trying to cut them. Those proposing cutting the limit to 40 km/h can’t drive and only want the rest of the populace forced down to their level of cowardice and incompetence. With the current political climate that it is now politically correct to be anti-car and antidriving, it all fits into the overall campaign to eliminate the private car and personal driving. If these zealots have their way,

we’ll all be walking or taking the bus where our every move can be under police surveillance and monitoring. Driving 30 mph, or 50 km/h, its modern equivalent, was established when it was the blanket speed limit, town and country. The limit of 50 km/h was then what 100 km/h would be now, particularly when you consider the improvements made to a car’s brakes, tires, road holding, steering, lighting and too many other improvements to name. Try driving one of these classics from the 1920s or ’30s and you’ll see what I mean. Anybody should be able to steer (as opposed to drive) a car at 40 km/h. If 40 km/hr goes through, then the requirement for driving tests, and driving lessons, should be removed. Just pay your road access fees and you’re good to go. Paul Whitworth Saanich

A mysterious paralysis has been killing crows and ravens in northern B.C., and some Islanders are concerned the unusual deaths could be closer to home. “I have noticed several dead crows on the sidewalk over the past few days,” said Oak Bay resident Bill Smith in a letter to the News, noting that some crows were seen struggling to walk. “I decided to Google ‘dead crows’ and was quite surprised what I found … Let’s hope this is not the start of a serious problem.” Scientists at the University of B.C. and residents have murmured concerns that the northern birds could be showing indications of West Nile Virus, especially as the corvids (ravens and crows) are most susceptible and often act as an early warning system. However, B.C. has not had any reports of West Nile in humans since 2010, and the province does regular testing of mosquitoes in different regions of the province. Oak Bay manager of parks Chris Hyde-Lay said the district has had no official reports of dead crows this year. However, birds are typically disposed of and not sent for testing. Leona Green, who runs the Hillspring Wildlife Rehabilitation 10:27:03 AM facility in Dawson Creek and received calls about the unusual dying corvids, says she has had dozens of reports of the paralyzed or dead birds

Two crows rest on a rock near the Oak Bay Marina. A mysterious paralysis killing ravens and crows in northern B.C. has some concerned about West Nile Virus closer to home. since the end of May. While, at first, she instructed people to safely dispose of the birds, increased calls in recent weeks surprised her. On July 30, with upwards of 25 birds brought to her, Green sent six specimens to be autopsied by the provincial Animal Health Lab – protocol when non-typical deaths occur in species. “I’ve never seen anything like this. The birds are alert, their wings move, but their legs are paralyzed from their spine. We are really scratching our heads over this,” Green said. “Being as I am not really a scientist, I can’t confirm what it might be, just that I’ve sent the samples off, and that’s all we know for now.” The act of testing is

paramount said Brian Starzomski, assistant professor of environmental studies and ecology at the University of Victoria. While Starzomski said he, too, has seen dead crows in the area this year, there are many reasons for death, which could include young-bird mortality rates, species-specific diseases or even poisons in the region. “It is extremely important to reports birds, especially in cases where we see unusual death, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to make sure these numbers are tracked,” he said. “Mosquitoes transfer diseases from disease-bearing animals, so they become the conduits, so to speak.” Dr. Richard Stanwick, Chief Medical Health Officer for Vancouver Island Health Authority, said while it’s extremely unlikely that West Nile has entered B.C. or the Island, that doesn’t mean people should let their guards down. “We have to consider how our climate is changing, and that means the mosquitoes are seeing a longer breeding season and have more opportunity to progress through the cycles,” said Stanwick. “We have been very fortunate to live in a zone that is considered relatively safe but, with many diseases, it’s really just a matter of time.” news@mondaymag.com

New View Royal fire hall enters construction phase

fter a long and occasionally rocky road, ground broke on the new View Royal fire hall as construction crews start work this week. Firefighters, involved parties and dignitaries gathered last Thursday, golden shovels in hand, at the site of the new fire hall to mark the end of red tape and the beginning of construction. “It’s an exciting day for View Royal,” said fire Chief Paul Hurst. “It’s a culmination of many, many, many years of work and to have it finally come together and do a groundbreaking, we’re on our way. I’ve always waited for this day.” The build is projected to Kyle Wells take 33 weeks, with a move Reporting in date of April 2013. Esquimalt First Nation Chief Andy Thomas helped kick off the groundbreaking with some words on building relationships between the Esquimalt First Nation and View Royal communities. “We thank the View Royal fire department for following to protocol of the land,” Thomas said. “This is how we build a relationship with our neighbours so that we learn to walk together and accept each other for who we are.

In the end, approval was reached. “Everyone in the community is entitled to an opinion and this is a democracy, there’s a democratic process. The process spoke and the people supported it,” Hurst said. “But that doesn’t mean I didn’t hear loud and clear the concerns of the people. “Lots of lessons learned, bit of heartache, lots of smiles, lots of challenges, but at the end of the day it all worked out.” Ledcor Construction Limited, the company constructing the fire hall, will start with site clearing, blasting and digging. If all goes to plan, concrete will start to be poured in about a month. The total budget for the building, including site preparation and design, is $7.49 million. Of that, $5.49 million is being borrowed, a sum which View Royal residents approved through referendum. A further $1 million is coming by way of amenities from the Eagle Creek development.

oung playwright Corin Wrigley is behind one of the most homegrown plays at this year’s Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival. Just 17 and already a Fringe veteran, Wrigley is bringing the misunderstood story of baseball superstar Ty Cobb to life in Something Like a War, debuting Thursday (Aug. 22) at The Metro Studio Theatre at 9:45 p.m. How Wrigley became enamoured with Cobb’s story started with an assuming batting stance. Most batters in baseball hold the bat with their hands together, which is taught to youths. Wrigley didn’t conform and was associating himself with Cobb at just six years old. “My dad said that’s how Ty Cobb did it and I thought of myself as Cobb without knowing who he was.” Wrigley continued to play baseball until 2012, growing from a casual fan to a baseball nut. It happened to correspond with the Tigers, Cobb’s old team, reaching the 2006 and 2012 World Series. For a 17-year-old recreating a personality from 100 years ago (Cobb’s greatest fame was as a Tiger from 1905 to 1926), the research is impressive. Wrigley has read four biographies and consumed many videos and stories of the legend. He also managed to secure a 30-minute conversation with Cobb’s grandson Herschel Cobb, who shared a close relationship with his grandfather Ty until he died in 1961. “It led to some changes in the play, particularly to the end of the play,” Wrigley said. “When (Herschel) offered to talk to me himself,

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I’d read his book about Ty but talking to him really helped me … I was getting a closer perspective than I ever could have hoped.” Wrigley, a homeschool grad, isn’t in a rush to enter the University of Victoria’s theatre program, but he is considering it, if not another acting school.

Tour de Rock more than a long bike ride Arnold Lim News staff

Four months ago, I barely knew a single rider or trainer on the Tour de Rock team. Looking around at the faces gathered around a horseshoeshaped table at the Saanich Police Department, I remember a sea of unfamiliar people chatting and laughing with each other – and feeling somewhat removed from a group comprised primarily municipal police and RCMP members. It was February, and I had just been selected by Black Press to represent them as a media rider on the Canadian Cancer

“Four months ago I walked into a crowded room of unfamiliar faces. Today those faces are teammates I couldn’t have hand-picked better if I tried.” – Arnold Lim Society's Cops for Cancer, Tour de Rock. After a month-long process involving internal selection and personal essays for the president of Black Press and the Canadian Cancer Society on why I wanted to be part of the tour, I was as far as the first orientation meeting at SPD, and I was uneasy. Having followed the tour for five years as a photojournalist for various media outlets across Vancouver Island, I was extremely excited for the opportunity, but had yet to be officially selected by the cancer society – but I knew I wanted to be. In fact, I had wanted

it for years, but for one reason or another the stars had not aligned. I hoped this was going to be my year. I certainly didn't feel like I was a lock. At 280 lbs., with limited biking experience and two decades removed from any athletic endeavours, a sense of self-consciousness was front and centre. I wasn't poised to break any land speed records on a bike and knew I had an uphill battle regardless of where the chips fell. The only certainty in my mind was I needed to do this. Truth be known, I don't think I truly understood what I was getting into when I

first signed up. I didn't fully grasp that I wasn't just signing up to be a bike rider for the cancer society. I wasn't just writing personal essays about how much I wanted to be a part of the tour so I could fundraise for a 1,000 kilometre bike ride down Vancouver Island. What I didn't fully understand then, was that I was signing up to be part of a team. I was getting an opportunity to do my part in the battle against paediatric cancer, and although I signed up alone, I realize now Tour de Rock is experienced alongside 21 other riders, a fleet of

trainers, Canadian Cancer Society staff and volunteers who make up a family. This wasn’t something I would experience just myself. Every bike crash, fall or illness is shared equally by all riders, including trainers who put their bodies on the line biking into busy intersections to stop traffic. Every pedal stroke on tour is a pedal stroke fuelled not only by the riders, but by unsung volunteers and staff behind the scenes that may never get the recognition they deserve. Four months ago I walked into a crowded room of unfamiliar faces. Today those faces are teammates I couldn't have handpicked better if I tried. Anyone who tells you biking is an individual sport hasn't ridden Tour de Rock. Arnold Lim represents Black Press on the 2013 Tour de Rock team.

Cheese shop staffers delve into flowers Don Descoteau Biz Beat

Alexandra Powell and Nicole Ingram are both Libras. As such, they tend to be agreeable and convinced each other opening a flower shop was a good idea. Powell, 29, and Ingram, 28, opened Thorn and Thistle in mid-July in the space vacated by Old Fashioned Flowers on Foul Bay Road, next door to Chiarelli’s Cheese Shop and Delicatessen. While they own and operate the thriving little business, Powell and Ingram still both work in the deli and occasionally help out in the sandwich shop opened by Chiarelli’s in the opposite space in January and managed by Anna Hunt. The old building resembles a rabbit warren, with access points to all three spaces running behind the shop areas. “I don’t know how we’re going to do this at Christmas – both sides are going to be crazy,” Powell says. The florists specialize in fresh-cut local flowers and handtied bouquets. They also have a collection of antique containers and memorabilia that can be used as props with flowers to brighten up special events. “We encourage people to bring in their own vases,” Ingram says. Opening in midsummer would seem too late to catch some bridal business, but Ingram says they

already have two weddings this fall. Carmen Lasooji, Ingram’s mother and owner/operator of Chiarelli’s – a Foul Bay icon for 10 years – jokes that she now needs more part-time help to replace the hours the flower shop takes from her staffers. Lasooji also manages the building and has plans for the space. The vision she hopes will come to fruition is to knock out the walls separating the three shops and create a large space for all three facets of the business. – Thorn and Thistle,

Thai restaurant has first birthday George Molnar assembled a talented crew of chefs – including his wife, Nadtaya – for his Thai Lemongrass restaurant when it opened in Cadboro Bay one year ago. The staff have between eight and 18 years experience, led by Bason Joodbrasong, who worked for years in

Bangkok, and Kachen Pangkanant. Molnar says people from the neighbourhood volunteered to get the space ready at 3838 Cadboro Bay Rd. He adds those friends are repaid through the restaurant serving consistent food. “Plus our chefs are not afraid to try different recipes. That’s what makes it unique,” says Molnar, whose eatery employs 20 people. Visit thailemongrass.com.

Phil Mack scored a try in the opening minute as Canada went on to win the first of a two-game Rugby World Cup qualifying series with the U.S.A. by a score of 27-9 in Charleston, S.C. on Saturday. It gives the Canadians an 18-point lead in the aggregate scoring of the qualifier series going into the next game, Saturday (Aug. 24) at BMO Field in Toronto. “The team is happy to have the 18-point advantage on home soil and we are preparing as if it is another game,” Mack said. Mack made a chip-kick behind the U.S.A. defence and rushed onto it at the try line to put Canada up 5-0 off the hop. While his teammates congrat-

Shamrocks look to push ahead in WLA final The Langley Thunder took a 4-1 lead in Game 2 but the Victoria Shamrocks stormed back with an 9-2 goal-scoring run to win 10-6 at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday night. Game 3 of the Western Lacrosse Association best-ofseven final is tonight (Aug. 21) in Langley. The series s now tied 1-1.

ulated him, Mack wore a serious look and hurried back to midfield. “I think it was a bit early in the game to celebrate. We try and have the mindset of ‘the next job,’ (whether or not it was) a good or bad play. Looking back on it now, it’s a play that I will always remember, but if you really examine the play there were a lot of players that contributed to it as well.” Mack, an Oak Bay High graduate and Canadian international rugby sevens specialist, started the game at scrum half and was instrumental throughout, earning the coveted pro-wrestling belt as Canada’s Man of the Match. Also scoring tries for Canada were dangerous winger DTH van der Merwe, a former teammate of Mack on the James Bay Ath-

letic Association who now plays pro for the Glasgow Warriors, and Capilano’s Harry Jones, who started at fly half. Fullback James Pritchard kicked 12 points. All nine of U.S.A.’s points came on penalty kicks by Chris Wyles. A win, or loss by less than 18 points, on Saturday will clinch a spot for Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. The squad features a long list of players who’ve played locally, including former UVic Vikes forwards Andrew Tiedemann, Ryan Hamilton and John Moonlight, and former James Bay player Aaron Carpenter, the current captain, as well as James Bay’s Sean White. Saturday’s game in Toronto will be aired live on TSN2 at 1 p.m. and replayed at 8 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Saturday started with Thunder goalie Brodie McDonald looking strong but he was eventually pulled. Rocks goalie Matt Vinc ended up outplaying him, allowing a stingy six goals, just two in the third period. Scoring was no easy feat. Unheralded Shamrocks defender Scott Carnegie was the only player to score multiple goals with two, one of them shorthanded in the second period. Jeff Shattler scored a goal and added three assists.
