Area MLAs eye the NDP leadership Victoria representatives weigh in on Adrian Dix resignation Kyle Wells News staff

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan and Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming are among a handful of New Democrat MLAs considering a run at the NDP leadership. Last week NDP Leader Adrian Dix announced he will step down as party leader. A new leader is expected to take the reins of the party by mid 2014. The move follows the party’s disappointing result in last spring’s provincial election. Horgan, who ran for the party leadership in 2011 and placed third, said he is considering running again, but hasn’t made John Horgan any decisions yet. “I have to focus on what the needs of my constituents are, the people in my communities,” Horgan said, “Can I best do that as leader of the opposition or just as a critic for a particular ministry? ... I have to weigh that.” Horgan has known Dix for 25 years and said he has nothing but the “utmost respect” for him and the work he did with the party. Dix staying on until a leader can be chosen is a positive, Horgan said, at which point the party needs to work on tapping into core values in the province.

Robin Morton attempted to convert the yard of his Colwood home into a natural ecosystem, including a meadow in place of a lawn, until complaints spurred the city to order Morton to mow it.

Colwood demands lawn be tended Kyle Wells News staff

In a case of one man’s natural landscaping being another’s unkept eyesore, Colwood council ordered a resident to mow down his attempt at restoring a natural ecosystem.

Moving from Vancouver, Robin Morton bought his property in the Esquimalt Lagoon area under the belief he would be able to use natural landscaping to restore the lot to a natural ecosystem, a spirit of environmentalism he believes is supported by the city’s Official Community Plan.

“It’s not a lawn to me, it’s a piece of the planet,” Morton said. “My landscaping plan was to allow this to revert to a natural setting.” PLEASE SEE: Residents see issue, Page A10

Politicians support GE-free province Charla Huber News staff

Municipalities across the provinces are supporting a genetically engineered (GE) free B.C. The motion was voted on at the Union of British Columbian Municipalities annual convention, today (Sept. 19), in Vancouver. With dozens of motions put forth they are often voted on in blocks. The GE-free B.C. motion, in with 23 others, was removed from the block and discussed individually, said Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne. Politicians took turns at the “pro” and “con” microphones. “It was by far the most liveliest and most intense discussions of the day,” she said. Some of the concerns of passing the motion included making it tougher of farmers and a loss of food supply. Others who were for passing the motion feared the science behind GE food products and the effects on the environment. Of the voters, 60 per cent voted to support the motion. “There were people who were farmers saying they were against it, and other farmers were saying they were for it,” said Milne. “It wasn’t farmers versus urban folks.” Milne is pleased the motion will be brought forward to the province. She also plans to meet with Agriculture Minister Pam Pimm. The passing resolution read, “that UBCM ask the British Columbia government to legislate the prohibition of importing, exporting and growing plants and seeds containing genetically engineered DNA, and raising GE animals within B.C., and to declare, through legislation, that B.C. is a GE Free area in respect to all plant and animal species.” Already 14 municipalities in B.C., including Metchosin, have declared themselves GE-free zones. The motion was previously supported at the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities conference. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Construction continues on the Craigflower Bridge. Saanich and View Royal, which share ownership of the span, received $11.05 million in grants to pay for the replacement now slated to open next spring.

Design flaw delays bridge 124 joints on bridge reenforced to boost seismic stability

he opening of the new Craigflower Bridge will be delayed yet again after engineers discovered the bridge – as planned – could have collapsed or been severely damaged during an earthquake. Engineers on the project determined in July that some 124 load-bearing joints on the new span needed to be strengthened in order to improve its seismic standing. “The bridge would’ve been fine, it certainly would’ve stood up (dayto-day). But the risk Kyle Slavin is with the forces of an Reporting earthquake, you have to have these incredibly strong connections,” said Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s manager of capital projects. The vulnerability was discovered after the steel fabricator

had begun constructing bridge components, when the project’s design engineer reviewed the fabricator’s detailed drawings. And while it’s a relatively easy fix – 124 extra steel plates need to be welded on at each of those joints – it’s work that wasn’t planned for in the original contract. Saanich has spent the last three months renegotiating with the contractor, Don Mann Excavating Ltd., on what impact this new work will have on the construction timeline and budget, but they still don’t have firm answers to either of those questions. “We’re expecting probably another month delay. We’ll be opening in the spring of 2014,” Hemstock said. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard says the bridge will be open “no sooner than March, no later than the end of May, June.” This is the second time this summer that the project’s timeline has been extended; in July the reopening was moved from December 2013 to March 2014 as a result of a North America-wide steel shortage. Hemstock says that while the new work will come at a cost, the nearly $2-million set aside as a contingency on the project

should allow the project to stay on budget. This will also be the second time this year that the overall cost of the bridge has jumped. In March, once contract tenders were received, the price tag increased by $2.2 million to $13.2 million. Saanich and View Royal, which share ownership of the span, received $11.05 million in grants to pay for the replacement. The two municipalities will share any outstanding costs of the build. Hemstock says he hopes negotiations with the contractor will be resolved soon, at which point Saanich will provide a more concrete update on the delay and financial impact as a result of the seismic upgrade.

Mobile home park rezoning first to use Langford policy

ith the rezoning ball rolling, Langford’s manufactured home park policy will see its inaugural use. Langford businessman Ron Cheeke filed for rezoning the Shirlmae Manufactured Home Park. He bought the 2.44 acres of land about six months ago. The City of Langford passed a policy in 2007 that protects residents in manufactured home parks if and when the land is sold. The policy states a new owner must pay for the disposal of the homes that cannot be relocated, help residents find new accommodation and offer them the right of first refusal for new homes built on the property. The policy includes 10 stipulations the new owner must oblige Charla Huber by. Reporting “It’s the first time this policy will have the opportunity to be used by council,” said Matthew Baldwin, Langford’s director of planning. “Previously owners of other manufactured home parks have done some preliminary investigation on feasibility.” The earliest the report would be available for review would be in late October. “The policy is not binding and council could choose to follow it, council could revise it or abandon it,” Baldwin said. “It’s not like a bylaw where it would need to be changed with a subsequent bylaw.” Cheeke, who owns the Loghouse Pub and is building Liquor World West next door, says he didn’t seek out the property, but when the owner died, the park’s executor approached him with the

business offer. If the re-zoning passes, he plans to use the land commercially. “I will lease or sell to business owners who have established businesses already in place,” Cheeke said. Established in 1968, the Hoylake Avenue park consists of 18 units and one boarded up, condemned house. About half of the trailers on the site are deemed unmoveable, due to age and additions. Some are double-wide trailers that Cheeke explained would have to be cut in half to be moved. Each resident has received information on other accommodation options in Langford including basement suites, condos and other pad rental sites. Cheeke is working with a rental agency to find suitable accommodation for park residents. Cheeke said the aging park is well beyond what Marshall Valuations Service, a leading provider of building cost data in the real estate industry, says a mobile home park’s expectancy should last. From its 2012 report the Marshall estimates a park’s lifespan be within 10 to 35 years. The Shirlmae Manufactured Home Park is 45 years old and does not have concrete pads, the park operates on a septic field and the area is in need of electrical upgrades, Cheeke said. “I’ve got a heart and I know where (the park residents) are coming from,” Cheeke said explaining the park is closing because of lack of infrastructure and the cost involved if he were to enhance it. “I realize this is very traumatic for people who have to relocate. I totally understand that.” Residents of Shirlmae refused to comment while in negotiations with Cheeke. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

NDP could find new leader here D

uring the provincial election in May, the presumed NDP victory left pundits wondering how many cabinet ministers might come from Greater Victoria and the Island, and how that might impact the good fortune of our economy. Voters of course delivered anything but what the pollsters expected, and once again relegated the region’s provincial NDP representation to opposition roles. With Adrian Dix now the outgoing NDP leader (the second to resign in less than three years) Greater Victoria now has a strong chance to be home to the Official Opposition’s new leader. Second runner up to Dix in 2011, Juan de Fuca MLA and Langford resident John Horgan is arguably Greater Victoria’s strongest candidate for the top job. A three-term MLA and with a high profile as energy critic and house leader, Horgan is the regions most charismatic probable candidate to lead the NDP. Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, another three-term veteran, is another viable candidate as education critic, a portfolio fraught with controversy if there ever was one. Other names have also been floated: Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Although an outside chance, Carole James could take a shot at her old job. During his resignation announcement last week, Dix said this province doesn’t need a “second (B.C.) Liberal party.” It’s advice any leadership candidate should heed. The NDP might be tempted more than ever to fundamentally rewrite party policy and edge toward the political right as a reaction to the party’s election loss, and the earlier round of infighting that led to Carole James stepping down in 2011. The problem with the NDP isn’t its core values and ideology. The problem is the NDP picks its leaders more on party loyalty than who has the spirit and drive to connect with voters. NDP party members and insiders have done a lot of navel gazing this year about their election loss. It’s time for the opposition to refocus and think about what kind of leader it wants to act as a check and counterweight to the Liberals’ economic agenda.

LETTERS French not only popular, just a must for the future Re: Popularity of French school on the rise (News, Sept. 13) The increase of French immersion schooling is not on the rise, because of French popularity. It is on the rise because French is a must. Parents of children and students are realizing they will not get a job with the federal service unless they speak French and they will not get promoted in the military unless they speak French – two of the largest employers in Canada. Only two very important reasons to be taking French immersion. Popularity? I don’t think so. A must, definitely. Ken List Langford

Senate a good place for political friends Re: Tories fumble Senate reform (Our View, Aug. 14) Many are the voices of what to do with Canada’s final resting place for politically deserving friends-of-the-government. Upon “sober second thought,” let’s leave well enough alone.

After all, where would we be without being able to bestow partisan consolation prizes upon one’s own failed election candidates by appointing them to Canada’s graveyard of government patronage. Pity the U.S. Senate where you actually have to win an election to get in, when in Canada all you have to do is lose one. And here is a “sobering” afterthought: The United States with a population of 314 million has 100 elected senators. Canada with a population of only 35 million has 105 appointed senators.

Song, dance, swag and more than 100 booths of info will fill Eagle Ridge arena in hopes of bolstering teen spirit. “We’re parents, and we realize it’s really hard for us to find resources for our kids,” said Ali Berman, co-founder of the TeenFest event. “We also realize teens need a place to go, a place they feel safe and where they can meet other teens.” Youth won’t take the time to find the help they need, or even realize it may be available, she pointed out. “We thought lets do it for them. Lets teach them we have amazing resources like Kids Help Phone. How many kids know there’s a service out there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year?” Berman and her husband first organized a teen expo in April, and tweaked the program to present the TeenFest at Eagle Ridge for the fall season. “If we make it fun and engaging they’re going to want to keep coming back,” said Berman, who plans to offer the free event each spring and fall. “It was important for us to make it free to make it accessible to everyone. It’s all about the youth. It’s all

Cool stuff includes swag bags for the first 500 teens and a show by singing artist Rosette, known for the single “Fire” and,

more recently, “Amnesia” with DJ Ian Carey and Timbaland. “She’s coming to perform with her dancers because she believes in youth advocacy,” Berman said. “We’re bringing everything under one roof and it’s a way for them to connect.” Diverse speakers will take to the main stage to speak about how to stand up to bullies, being financially savvy and even teen hair. Information about everything from trade schools to help lines will be on hand. The one-day exhibition is for youth ages 12 to 18 but open to families, caregivers and educators across Vancouver Island. “Parents may have some questions and need some answers,” Berman said. Funds raised by the event will go to the Victoria-based youth organization KidStart. The Victoria TeenFest is Oct. 5 at the Eagle Ridge Community Centre, 1089 Langford Pkwy.

Eyes at School

We all know that a student should be able to read what the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well being of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems. Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screenings do catch many vision problems that result in a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through the cracks and these screenings should not be confused with a thorough vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry. Teachers are often the first people to pick up a vision problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excellent position to pick up on any symptoms of vision problems in a young child. Although the following list isn’t considered exhaustive, signs to look for include: covering an eye or closing an eye; squinting; turning or tilting the head to one side; rubbing the eyes; headaches; especially after reading; reports of blurred vision; and losing one’s place while reading. If there is any question about a child’s vision, a complete eye examination is recommended.

Chorus workshop targets common man

inden Singers hope to break down cultural barriers with a singing workshop in Colwood. “We are trying to find men who aren’t currently singers. We are really trying make a dent in the cultural gap,” said Peter Parker, president of Linden Singers. In the past, Parker said, Charla Huber many male Reporting vocalists for choirs would be found through churches and schools, but that is no longer the case.

“Now if a kid wants to be a singer, they are probably in a rock band,” said the 66-year-old. “We are looking for any men who want to sing. Maybe the guys who like to sing in the car.” The Real Men Sing workshops will expose interested menfolk to choir singing and offer a list of several choirs across Greater Victoria – some specifically for men and others co-ed. “I prefer to sing in a mixed choir,” said the baritone singer. Real Men Sing Workshop is at the Church of Advent, 720 Mount View Ave. Workshops are offered Friday, Sept. 27 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Registration is $50 contact admin@lindensingers.ca for more details. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

This was to be achieved through seeding, planting and letting nature take its course, and also by harvesting and using invasive species, such as blackberry bushes. Part of the plan was to let the lawn mature into a meadow, the tall grasses of which would help the earth retain moisture by shielding it from the sun, encouraging a microclimate which would lead to greater biodiversity. Morton’s plan, however, led to neighbours lodging complaints with the city over the seemingly unkempt yard and unmown lawn. Morton argued his take on the situation before committee

“If we have folks going off in all kinds of different directions and Colwood doesn’t maintain a standard of how things will develop and change, then that’s a deterrent for buyers.” – Sandra Russell

then council, which ultimately voted in favour of upholding its unsightly premises bylaw. Morton was told he would be charged between $3,000 to $7,000 for the expense of the city bringing his yard into compliance if he didn’t do so himself. So he mowed his lawn. “It’s unconscionable that we have a civilization that’s effectively been designed to cause aridification, to dry out the landscape,” Morton said. “I was trying to do something here that allows my property to recover from that condition.” Colwood’s communication manager Sandra

Russell explained while the city’s OCP does support retaining and restoring ecosystems, it only applies to areas of new development. “Those areas would be planned and designed to fit with the standards of whatever surrounding area they were built within,” Russell said. “If we have folks going off in all kinds of different directions and Colwood doesn’t maintain a standard of how things will develop and change, then that’s a deterrent for buyers.” The unsightly premises bylaw, however, is intended to help the city enforce standards for already developed

property, such as Morton’s, Russell said. “The issue was that there were complaints received because it didn’t fit with the standard of the surrounding (neighbourhood),” Russell said. Council instructed the issue go back before committee to look at whether there is a way to support such projects in the future, potentially through a new natural landscapes policy. Such a policy may be too little too late for Morton, however.

Clooney and Catherine Potter also donate their time to the run, helping fill the 200 volunteer positions available both on run day and in the days leading up to the event. “It’s a good way to get involved in the community,” said Clooney. “It’s a great cause and there are so many different levels of involvement.” Volunteers are needed in a variety of roles on run day, from route or parking marshals, to registration volunteers, to breast health trivia squad ambassadors or onsite first aid attendants.

LifeCycles seeks fruitful bounties for fruit tree project Volunteers are reaping the fruits of their labours for the LifeCycles fruit tree project. Fruit tree owners across Greater Victoria are offering up their ripe apples to LifeCycles volunteers, who pick the fruit

for free and distribute a portion to local food banks. “We’ve got a lot of volunteers, but are always looking for more help,” said Jenny McCartney, the harvest co-ordinator. Volunteers harvest 3,900

pounds of apples, plums and pears over a season. Homeowners get a quarter of the take, a quarter goes to the volunteers, a quarter to food banks or special events and a quarter to LifeCycles. LifeCycles

itself uses the fruit to make cider with Sea Cider Farm and vinegar with Spinnakers pub, and that money goes to pay for administration and picking equipment. “We’re even starting to

harvest at farms,” McCartney said. Do donate a fruit tree for harvest or to volunteer to pick email fruittree@ lifecyclesproject.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

David Foster wants your barbecue Kyle Slavin News staff

The David Foster Foundation wants your old barbecues, pots and pans, and car parts to help supports Canadian families who have a child in-need of an organ transplant. A new partnership between the charity and Schnitzer Steel will allow for donations to come in the form of scrap metal. Schnitzer will give the cash value of the donated metal to the foundation. To launch this new partnership, four Greater Victoria RBC locations will host scrap metal drives this weekend. “With the change in the economic environment, the foundation is really reaching out to its national and regional partners for unique donations, so it really maximizes the efforts of collaboration, rather than simply asking for cash donations,” said Brian Cant, spokesperson for the David Foster Foundation. Greater Victoria residents are urged to drop

off their scrap metal – unwanted appliances, cables and wires, even old cars – between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at RBC branches on Friday and Saturday. “I don’t think a car’s going to fit in one of the recycle bins, but we’ll gladly accept it,” Cant said with a laugh. If you can’t make it to one of the RBC branches on the week-

end, you can drop off scrap metal at Schitnzer Steel, 307 David St., and ask that the donation be put in the David Foster Founda-

tion charity bin. For more information go to davidfosterfoundation.com. kslavin@saanich news.com

Fleming also considers running Continued from Page A1

“We need to reconnect with working people and middle class families,” Horgan said. “We’ve got to be able to mix the economy and environment, not just in an isolated Lower Mainland, Southern Vancouver Island way, but in provincial way.” Fleming said he is also considering running. He believes this was the right time for Dix to step down and hopes to see the party move forward with a focus on economic growth and environmental protection, with an eye to the 1990s Mike Harcourt (former NDP premier) administration as a model. “It was a government that was fiscally responsible, advanced a strong environmental protection agenda and presided over the highest growth rates B.C. has seen in the last quarter century,” Fleming said. Other potential candidates include MLAs George Heyman, David Eby and Mike Farnworth. There’s also speculation Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson are considering leadership bids. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Sihota steps down as party president Moe Sihota, president of the B.C. New Democratic Party and a holdover from the party’s glory days in provincial politics in the 1990s, announced his resignation Saturday. The move came three days after Adrian Dix announced he would step down. Sihota, 58, a former Esquimalt MLA, will leave the post he has held since 2009 when his term ends following the November party convention in Vancouver. “I am proud of some of the great strides forward we have made together, and am also excited about our shared future,” he said in a statement. “Our party possesses a great deal of talent, and is a key reason in my decision to step down. It is time for the next chapter in the B.C. NDP’s history, which means a new generation of leadership.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Civic leaders are demanding an extra 90 days to negotiate acceptable terms for the coming shift of blue box recycling control to industry-run agency Multi Material BC. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention unanimously backed the resolution and agreed to strike a working group to help coordinate negotiations on behalf of affected cities. Many cities fear degraded recycling services depending on how the new system rolls out and argue MMBC won’t pay them enough to cover their costs if they agree to keep running curbside collection as contractors. “We see a significant hit to taxpayers to cover the cost of implementing this program,” said Prince George Coun. Cameron Stolz, disputing MMBC claims the $110-million system will be fully financed by the producers of packaging and paper. “The terms and conditions of the contract are just simply unacceptable,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said. If cities decline to be paid collectors, MMBC will contract the service out to firms and may let them halt curbside pickup of glass and direct residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead. “That glass is going to go straight in the garbage,” Harper predicted. “So we’re actually walking backwards in terms of the diversion rate in New Westminster.” Thursday’s vote came as MMBC claimed 85 per cent of B.C. cities with curbside pickup have

accepted its offer to run the service for payment. It said five per cent declined by a Sept. 16 deadline, letting MMBC contract out, while 10 per cent will opt out and keep providing recycling pick up without any MMBC payment. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee, said the positive responses MMBC claims may include many cities that have conditionally signalled their intent, but want to negotiate better terms. “In Metro Vancouver there is widespread rejection of the MMBC situation,” he said. “But I believe there’s also a collective will to make it work.” Brodie said he’s been assured provincial government officials are concerned and argued the planned launch next spring should be delayed. “I think that the dates are really arbitrary. If it’s a good idea and we want to do it, May of 2014 is not magical. It could be May 2015 or any other date.” editor@vicnews.com

Finishing the Tour together (From left) Lori Hitchcox, Angela Richmond, Kendra Auringer, Stephanie Carter and Val Chura cross the finish line en masse along Belleville Street at Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria on Sunday afternoon. The four women, who entered the 50-kilometre event as Westshore Triathlon, have been good friends for 10 years and compete together in as many sporting events as possible. The second annual Tour de Victoria attracted nearly 1,400 riders, competing on three courses of varying lengths and difficulty levels around Greater Victoria. Winners were: Rob Britton in the League 140-kilometre event, in a time of three hours 58 minutes, 21 seconds; Andreas Hestler in the Island Savings 100K event in 3:08.55, three seconds faster than runner-up Michael Lord; and John Botelho (1:31.03) in the Ryder Hesjdal 50K race. Funds raised through entry fees into the overall event will be shared between the GoodLife Kids Foundation and the Ryders Cycling Society of Canada.

Rams hold down national No. 1 spot after blowout win Homecoming game scheduled for Friday at Westhills Stadium The Mount Douglas Rams sit atop this week’s national rankings, following a 51-0 win over New Westminster in B.C. High School Football play Friday.

Women’s rugby side pulls off impressive win

The Rams (1-0-0), the lone B.C. team on the top 10 list (canadafootballchat.com), got on the board early against the Hyacks at Langford’s Westhills Stadium, when Julian Luis scrambled in for a 14-yard touchdown score on the opening play from scrimmage. The Rams’ Mack Wegenast recovered a New West fumble on the opening kickoff to give the home team good field position.

The University of Victoria women’s rugby squad opened their 2013 Canada West season Friday at Wallace Field, upsetting the No. 9-ranked Lethbridge Pronghorns 18-15. The win over the ’Horns is the first for Victoria in more than a decade of Canada West play. Laura Crowe-Hutchon opened the scoring with her first try of the season, while Jaiden Parhar led the young Vikes squad with two tries. Vike Kara Galbraith scored on a penalty kick before the final whistle to seal the final three points for the win. Kim Leavitt, Cassandra Orr and Nicole Ronsky posted tries for the Pronghorns. “It was an exciting game,” said Vikes’ head coach Mark Hall. “We took chances, some of them paid off, some didn’t. The girls played at the level they needed to

From there it was all Rams, as they built a 28-0 halftime lead, and increased it to 41-0 after three quarters. Marcus Davis caught a 29-yard TD pass from Ashton McKinnon and returned a punt 59 yards for a score to lead the attack. Luis also finished with a pair of touchdowns, while Sean Farinu, on a five-yard run, Alexis Keppene with a two-yard catch, and Sean Waugh,

with a 50-yard punt return, added singles. Callum Duke kicked six converts and a 26-yard field goal to round out the scoring. While the Rams were racking up the touchdowns at Westhills, the Belmont Bulldogs were doing their part at nearby Goudy Field, hammering the West Vancouver Highlanders 41-0 to keep pace with Mount Doug in the league’s

University of Victoria Vikes weekend wrap play at and that’s how they won, they stuck with it to the bitter end.” The Vikes have a big home weekend ahead, taking on the Calgary Dinos on Friday (Sept. 27) at 5 p.m. and the Alberta Pandas Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at Wallace Field.

Soccer women forge Alberta split

Despite carrying the play in much of Sunday’s Canada West women’s soccer match in Edmonton, the Vikes fell 2-0 to the University of Alberta Pandas. UVic (3-2-0) enjoyed a solid start to the

weekend on Saturday when they beat Mount Royal Cougars (2-4-0) 2-1 in Calgary. Second-half substitutions Cassie Dennis and Allie Wiebe sandwiched goals seven minutes apart around a Cougars marker to give the visitors the winning margin. The Vikes can get back on the winning track this Saturday (Sept. 28) when they host the Fraser Valley Cascades (2-2-1) in a 5 p.m. match at Centennial Stadium.

Field hockey women post road sweep

A weekend sweep in Calgary has the

Western Conference standings. The Rams play their homecoming game this Friday back at Westhills against divisional rival Notre Dame. Game time is 2:30 p.m. Non-perishable food items are being collected for the Mustard Seed food bank. Belmont is on the road that day for a game against New West. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Vikes well positioned to take on archrival UBC Thunderbirds in women’s field hockey on UVic’s home turf this Saturday and Sunday. UVic (2-0-0) downed the Dinos 2-0 on Sunday and 6-0 Saturday to open the Canada West conference regular season on a high note. Kathleen Leahy and Amanda Kurianowicz scored once apiece in the second game and goalkeeper Sheridan Goodmansen kept the Dinos (0-4-0) off the board for her second straight shutout. Kyla Kirby scored twice in the first win, while singles came from Kurianowicz, Mei Lin Cheung, Marin Davidson and Andrea Jones. The Vikes, up 3-0 at the break, converted two penalty corners in the second half. UVic hosts arch-rival UBC (2-0-0) at 11 a.m. on both days. sports@vicnews.com

Royals split openers with Giants The Victoria Royals started the regular season off on the right foot, with a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Giants on the mainland Friday night. Winger Austin Carroll scored a natural hat trick for the Royals to lead the attack. Brandon Magee also tallied once in the win, which saw the visitors erase an early 1-0 deficit. Royals starter Patrik Polivka

stopped 34 for the victory. It was a different story Saturday at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, as the Giants got revenge with a 2-1 win. Joe Hicketts scored the lone Royals goal in the third period. Tonight (Sept. 25) the Royals are scheduled to play the second home game in two nights against Spokane. Game time is 7 p.m. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Crew members inspect the damage on the No. 10 car of Steven Dardengo, who crashed during an Old Time Racers Association race Saturday at Western Speedway.

Wild finale at Western Speedway Drivers contest titles in five separate racing categories It was championship night at Western Speedway on Saturday as racers in five car classes competed for trophies and bragging rights. While plenty of battles were waged during the evening, Justin Woodske swept his races in the mini-stock division. He was the fastest qualifier, posting the quickest lap time of 18:870 seconds. After zooming to a win in the heat race, Woodske captured the 25-lap main event ahead of Sean Constantine in second, Alex Mouner in third and Caleb VanBree in fourth. VanBree took second in the heat, followed by Mouner. The late-model series saw Rory Smith warm up by winning the second heat race, then roar to victory in the first of two 50-lap main events, ahead of Brent Morris, Jason Terasenko

and Geoff Morris, in order. Terasenko, who previously posted fast qualifying time of 16:853 seconds, showed his speed in the second finale, crossing the line first followed by Brandon Carlson, Geoff Morris and Smith. Morris had won the first heat. In the stock car class, Kevin Knight won the 35-lap main event, followed in order by Chris McInerney, Brandon Steen and Rhett Smith. Knight had placed second behind McInerney in the first heat race, while Daryl Crocker, the fastest qualifier at 18:357 seconds, won the second heat. In the always wild and wooly Wilroc wingless sprint cars racing, Wayde Heckford took the checkered flag in the 30-lap main, beating out second-place finisher Deter Lejeune. Duane

Zeinstra finished third followed by Mike Haslam. The fastest qualifier was Jeff Bird (16.123 seconds), whose best effort was a fourth-place finish in the first heat. Dave Emmerson won that race, while Mark Stuart won the second heat, edging out Heckford. Old Time Racers Association driver James Miller warmed up with a win in the second heat race before capturing the cup for a victory in the 25-lap main event. George Jenson finished second in the main followed by Denis Morneau and Roger Beck. Duane Zeinstra timed in fastest at 18:30 seconds, while the first heat was won by Steven Dardengo, whose car had part of the roof sheared off in a crash later in the evening. sports@vicnews.com

GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE - Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Dynamic duo keep heads (and feet) above water Anyone who plays outdoor sports in Greater Victoria has no doubt faced the soggy shoe syndrome. Whether involved in soccer, rugby, baseball or other sports requiring cleats, the prospect of slogging through a wet field or competing in the rain is very high. Matt Weingart and Brian McKenzie, longtime rugby players who work together by day as Rocks Stonemasonry, have spent many hours thinking about and discussing how to solve the problem as they bash and shape rocks. Ultimately they came up with Dryfeet, a rubberized boot-style cover that fits Don Descoteau over cleats and eliminates Biz Beat the discomfort and shoe breakdown that are products of playing in the wet. The concept came from cycling, Weingart says, adding, “Brian and I played for years on cold, wet fields.” The partners developed the product between hammer swings, with the help of a manufacturer on the Mainland. They’ve foregone playing this season to focus on developing their business, known as Dryworld Industries. Gaining a licensing deal with a professional league is among their goals. Current clients using Dryfeet include players in the Canadian Football league and National Football League, NWSL women’s pro soccer league and Britain’s Aviva Premiership Rugby league. With their initial product having grabbed a bit of a foothold, the pair have turned their attention to other drywear products, such as a top that not only keeps the wearer dry, but helps lift them into a more biomechanically sound position. They’re also looking at drygear applications for baseball, football and running. “We’re driven by the fact we’ve created something that benefits athletes,” McKenzie says, noting they don’t have many moments where they’re not thinking of, talking about or selling the product or idea. Adds Weingart: “Our vision is to be the Apple of the sporting goods world.” Dri-Foot is available at Spank-It Sports, Soccer World and online at dryworldindustries.com.

Cider farm open house set for this weekend

Apple Day and the annual harvest are being celebrated Sunday (Sept. 29) this weekend at Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse in Central Saanich. The free, family oriented event allows visitors to explore the orchard and take guided tours with owner Kristen Jordan. Visitors receive a glass of sparkling cider and entertainment from musical act The Sweet Lowdown. The open house runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2487 Mount St. Michael Rd. See seacider.ca Send your business news to ddescoteau@ vicnews.com.
