Royal Bay plan panned Residents sway favour against Colwood development proposal

C

olwood residents are feeling victorious after the city planning and land use committee voted unanimously to recommend council deny the application for a development at 467 Royal Bay Dr. “We need to go back to the drawing board. I think that we can do better,” said chair Shari Lukens.

Resident Ian Pattullo, among 100 residents that filled a meeting room at West Shore Parks and Recreation, said the result is a victory.

“That was the obvious conclusion.

Whether or not we can actually get to the common ground they’re speaking about, that’s going to be a tough chore,” he said.

The issue was deferred during a May meeting when the developer was told Kyle Wells to work with residents to come up with Reporting a compromise and resubmit plans.

The May plans called for 70 units.

The rejigged plan calls for 68 units with five corridors added to the largest building to create view glimpses. As many residents and committee members complained, little else had changed.

Speaking on behalf of neighbouring residents, Andy Smith expressed disappointment in the lack of communication between residents and the developer. After some initially positive conversations, Smith said the developer submitted new plans with no notification or compromise.

“I was optimistic that with help from the planning department and all the information I’ve amassed, that I would be able to convince the three parties to compromise,” Smith said. “After some discussion … it was clear there wasn’t going to be a compromise, there were going to be no substantial discussions with residents.”

Mike Wignall, representing the developers, spoke of the need to increase density to produce a profit.

“Residential investment is not guaranteed,” responded committee member Shaun Eden. “Granting a variance on the basis of an argument for profitability… is not really a point that carries a lot of weight in and of itself.”

While most committee members stressed support for densification, none could support the plan as it stood, primarily because of the overwhelming dissent from residents.

The issue is expected to be before city council on Oct. 15. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Cruising through Langford on a fire engine is a highlight at Langford Fire Rescue’s annual open house.

The department hosts its open

Kids can pedal around in little cars and learn the rules of the road for vehicles and pedestrians in the Tom Thumb Safety Village. Profits from a pancake breakfast and hotdog lunch will go towards the women’ auxiliary.

SNEQ’WA

Opening ceremony recognizes past, looks to future

(Blue Heron House)

Kyle Wells News staff

Strong currents of recognition and repair ran through the words of First Nations elders and chiefs as they marked the opening of Royal Roads University’s new aboriginal education centre, Sneq’wa, on Monday.

“I have so much on my mind when it comes

to this land here,” Esquimalt Chief Andy Thomas said. “We need to find answers and create those processes of healing in places like this. … I can’t just ignore it, because as a chief these are issues that I face every day.”

The centre, located in what used to be the school’s boathouse, is intended to be a place to foster educational opportunities for indigenous youth, as well as provide a space for communication between First Nations groups and with the larger community.

Thomas, who played an important role in the development of the centre, spoke of the challenges that still face the First Nations youth when it comes to education. With the traditional industries of fishing and forestry no longer thriving, Thomas believes a new direction needs to be found for First Nations youth.

“You’ll have to be able to find the answers for our children, to get through the system, to be able to get here. Right now they’re still dropping out at Grade 8, Grade 10,” Thomas said. “These are the things that have to be addressed if these institutes are going to be working for our people.”

Originally named the Aboriginal Learning and Cultural Centre, the true name of the building was chosen by way of a silent vote at the gathering: Blue Heron House or Sneq’wa.

The new building will host support

B.C. Minister of Advanced Education Amrik Virk spoke at the ceremony about his time working in First Nations communities as an RCMP officer.

“I saw so much hope in those children I ran across, and yet my heart was broken many a time,” Virk said. “This is a real opportunity here. … This is a structure but it’s about the people that inhabit it, it’s about the people that are going to come here, the people that are going to work together.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Randy Sampson dances a victory dance at the opening celebration for Royal Roads University’s new aboriginal cultural centre, named the Blue Heron House.

Belmont staff and students will spin their wheels as the Leadership group hosts a Tour de Rock Spinathon next Wednesday.

Students and teachers will create teams to cycle on a stationary bike throughout the day.

There are prizes for the most money raised by a team and those who shave their heads during the barbecue lunch and head shaving from 11:50 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. on Oct. 2.

Grade 10 leadership student Jamie Wallace expects 10 teams to sign up, with five to 10 students per team, who will spin from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Each student will take on an hour shift behind the wheel.

“We are doing this to raise awareness for the riders and everyone who’s doing this event,” Wallace said. “We believe it’s important that these riders understand just how much we appreciate what they are doing.”

Donations will be displayed in the foyer as a bike pump that will “fill” as cash rolls in. The goal is to raise $2,000 to $3,000.

Donations will be accepted up until the event, either at the school or through students. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Harvest feast fêtes locally grown food Kyle Wells News staff

The epitome of eating local, the annual Harvest Supper is again hitting close to home.

The meal for 150 is a local take on the 100 Mile Diet, featuring fresh ham, lamb and turkey from Vancouver Island, as well as seasonal veggies from local farms and gardens.

“We make a really good effort to get all of our products from the West Shore and from market vendors and local farms,” said co-ordinator Kelly Parkin, adding the event gives patrons ideas for locally-sourced dishes.

“How many people have apple trees and they just don’t know what to do with all those apples?” Parkin said. “We do fresh pressed apple juice every year and all of our apples come from the West Shore.”

The annual Harvest Supper, presented by the Luxton Station Market Society and Colwood’s Church of the Advent, is Sunday, Sept. 29.

Tickets are $17 for adults, $13 for youth and seniors and $55 for a family of two adults and two youths or seniors. Tickets are available at the Goldstream Station Market (Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Bryn Maur Rd.), by phone at 250507-5767 or by email at manager.goldstreammarket@gmail.com. kwells@goldstreamwgazette.com

Victoria Hospice

Swim for a good cause

BY MARILYN McCRIMMON

October 12

Hospice & Palliative Care Day others,” he says. “My focus is to have fun and have people working together for an important cause.”

Caelin also initiated a Jeans Day at Victoria Hospice in the weeks preceding Swimathon. “Staff wear jeans to work, wearing buttons that say ‘I’m wearing jeans today in support of Victoria Hospice Swimathon,’ in order to get the word out and encourage pledges.

Staff have to buy the button each day for a toonie, and return it at the end of the day.” As a result, a friendly rivalry occurs between the nurses, doctors, counsellors, administrative support staff, and volunteers as they vie for the trophy given to the group that raises the most money for Jeans Day. Caelin turns in the funds raised under the name “Jean Day” – “she” has proven to be quite a fundraiser.

Typical participants at the swimathon are already swimmers. “Here is a way to do what you already do and raise money for a service that helps people.

Lots of kids participate.

They love to swim and will

go to friends and neighbours to collect pledges. It is a great learning opportunity for children as it teaches them to be more community minded.” Caelin recalled one hospice volunteer in her 90s who brought her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter to the pool.

“She was still swimming every day and the Caelin Rose whole family was behind it, all supporting Victoria Hospice.”

And, if you don’t swim, but would like to participate, Caelin has a suggestion for you. “You could do a virtual swim.

Or pledge not to put on a bathing suit and collect money.” A sense of humour will help in this case.

Community support is vital to Victoria Hospice. Will you be a swimmer, a virtual swimmer or will you pledge support to a swimmer? Whatever you do, your support will be very gratefully received by Victoria Hospice. Register today at www.VictoriaHospice.org under “Events”.

Next month, swimmers will take to ten local community pools to count their laps for the 28th annual Victoria Hospice Swimathon.

Previously held in May, this year the popular annual event will run the week of October 5th to 12th, the final day coinciding with World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. The Victoria Hospice Swimathon, a well-loved Victoria tradition for almost 30 years, is launching a new online fundraising system this year, allowing swimmers to create their own fundraising page. Swimmers can upload photos and set their goals, before emailing friends and colleagues to ask for their support.

The self-directed format allows swimmers to swim laps in their neighbourhood pool at their convenience, free of charge, during the designated week. Pledges will be totalled up on October 12th, the final day. As an extra incentive, swimmers raising over $200 will receive a limited edition Swimathon towel.

The individualized nature of the Swimathon does not preclude challenges to fellow participants. Just ask Hospice counsellor and regular swimathon participant Caelin Rose, who admits to being a bit of a cheerleader. “I love swimming and I love to encourage

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day on October 12, 2013 is a day of unified action in worldwide celebration and support of hospice and palliative care.

Access to palliative care is a human right. No healthcare system in a country is complete without including palliative care as an available service. However palliative care is mostly limited to countries in Western Europe, North America, and Australia.

In fact, 42% of nations, with a sobering 80% of people globally have little to no access to treatment for moderate to severe pain.

Efforts are underway to expand palliative care to low and middle income countries so that every country can have palliative care.

To mark this day of action, Victoria Hospice will be celebrating the final day of the 28th Annual Swimathon which has raised over $2M for end-of-life care.

Kulture Frozen Yogurt is also offering a delicious way to make a difference.

On October 12th from 11am – 4pm, 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Victoria Hospice. Be sure to stop by at 3749 Shelbourne St. For more information about events, studies, and other facts about World Hospice Day, see: www.worldday.org

Swimmers of all ages and abilities are invited to make a splash for Victoria Hospice at one of ten participating recreation facilities.

“Langford has very little in regard to homelessness,” said Fletcher adding bylaw officers are

New ambulance site hosts fire Paramedics, dispatchers, work, train alongside each other at Leigh Road facility

H

ot on the heels of its grand opening Wednesday, the new ambulance station, call centre and training facility on Leigh Road will also host the Capital Regional District’s fire dispatch for two weeks in October.

Langford dispatches for a number of small communities in the south Island, normally working out of Langford’s No. 1 fire hall. The regional dispatch service will move to the shiny new B.C. Health Services centre on Oct. 8 while the fire hall is renovated and upgraded.

Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett is excited for fire and B.C. Ambulance dispatchers to work together for the two-week period, noting fire dispatch could also operate there in case of an emergency.

“We’ve already been duplicating the technology so we can work out of the (Leigh Road) location,” Beckett said. “They are going to work upstairs with the paramedics and we’ll work on fine tuning and streamlining.”

The new facility is the first of its kind for the B.C. Ambulance Service, built specifically for shared dispatch and ambulance operations. Officials tout the Leigh Road site as a good fit for emergency

Challenges include a fire extinguisher simulator and putting out a fake burning house using a fire hose.

Rides will also be available on the station’s newest truck, and there will be displays on recruiting and emergency preparedness, along with a grease fire demonstration.

OUR VIEW

Smoking ban extension moot Guess how many individuals or businesses have been fined in recent years for violating rules around smoking less than three metres from an enclosed space in Greater Victoria?

Exactly zero. On the surface that tells us the Capital Regional District has done a good job at changing people’s behaviour around smoking in public places.

The CRD has clearly taken an educational approach to the issue rather than one that is punitive. Some might argue that aggressive enforcement, with frequent fines for violators, is the best way to change behaviour on this issue. But the numbers would indicate the CRD’s experience of using a kinder, gentler approach has proven effective.

Besides the absence of fines against smokers or establishments – bylaw enforcement officers at the Vancouver Island Health Authority, actually have very limited authority to ticket individuals – the smoking rate in Greater Victoria has been reduced to 11 per cent, compared to 15 per cent provincially.

That said, extending the three-metre ban to seven metres, as the CRD is considering, seems an overreach. The accompanying proposal to create no-smoking zones in parks and playgrounds makes sense, but a seven-metre rule would be like pouring salt in a wound already destined to be lethal.

We shouldn’t be surprised at this gradual expansion of the space in which people can be free from breathing secondhand smoke. Health authorities and other regulatory bodies have made it their goal to squeeze smokers into as small an area as possible and reduce their numbers to limit their impact on public health.

The new distance rule, if passed by the CRD board, will further isolate smokers, to the point where only roadways and parking lots in downtown Victoria, for example, will be “legal” areas to light up.

Unless the CRD is prepared to ban smoking outright – an unlikely notion now, but one many would support – it should look to other ways of educating the public about the hazards of lighting up rather than creating unenforceable rules that further pad the bureaucracy.

Rookie school trustee being shut out by board vets Re: Victoria school trustee publicly scolded (vicnews.com) The article about Greater Victoria School District first-time trustee Deborah Nohr being censured by fellow trustees is very aptly titled. The word “scolded” conjures up images of adults reading the riot act to a child who isn’t obedient to them.

But Nohr is not a child. She

is a very well-educated woman with a teaching career that gives her valuable perspective to bring to our school board table. And Nohr has a right as well as a responsibility to ask questions of administrators and longtime trustees, to better understand the underpinnings of motions that she must make decisions about.

This latest attempt to pressure

Nohr to fall in line with the decisions of longtime trustees is having a backlash. Those of us who follow school board politics know Nohr is doing her job representing her constituents and we value her efforts to make decision-making in this district more transparent. We know that any thriving public institution draws upon the expertise of

every member of its elected board and that this dynamic is not in play.

We can learn from the business community about the folly of not valuing all of the expertise around a board table.

We, the taxpayers, are the investors in public education. And we need to pay more attention to which of

9/11 explanation needs to be revisited The blue-and-orange billboard beside the Pat Bay Highway is part of a world-wide advertising campaign by an association of 2,000 architects and engineers called A&E for 9/11 Truth.

The campaign is endorsed by more than 100 family members of

9/11 victims, who invite us to rethink 9/11 and understand that a third tower, World Trade Centre 7, fell that day in 2001.

The official explanation for its collapse, that it was weakened by falling debris from the Twin Towers and that raging office fires caused its massive steel framework to fail, is contradicted by photo and video evidence.

Tower 7 sustained relatively light damage and its fires never grew hot enough to melt steel. Towers 5 and 6, which also burned, were closer to the Twin Towers and pummelled by falling debris, yet their steel frameworks remained standing.

During Tower 7’s collapse, characteristics of a controlled demolition were plainly evident. The tower fell straight down into its own footprint, at free-fall acceleration, meaning that all its supporting structure was severed almost simultaneously.

In the dust and debris, scientists found residue of the type of explosives and incendiaries used in controlled demolitions because they rapidly melt steel. This explains reports by firemen and first responders that they saw molten metal “flowing like lava.”

Setting up a controlled demolition

Local news.

This week’s online poll

for such a massive building requires a team of experts with prolonged access.

Given that Tower 7 – which housed the CIA, U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Defence – was one of the most secure buildings in New York City, it is highly unlikely that a team from a foreign country managed to breach its security.

This raises disturbing questions: Who set WTC-7 up for demolition?

And why?

Further, it supports the evidence that WTC Towers 1 and 2 were also brought down by controlled demolition.

A new documentary from Massimo Mazzucco called September 11 – The New Pearl Harbour (bit.ly/16eiOz8), provides new evidence that the official account of 9/11 violates the laws of physics and is therefore impossible.

The official narrative is so flawed it raises serious doubts as to the legitimacy of the supposed war on terror it spawned against Middle East nations, with Syria now threatened to be next.

A valid investigation is still possible and needed to reveal the truth.

Does Greater Victoria need further restrictions on where people can smoke in public?

Yes, the public needs to be further protected from the effects of second-hand smoke No, the existing regulations are ample to protect public health Possibly, but smokers need not have to stand in the street or in a parking lot to light up Last week’s question: Was Adrian Dix right to step down as leader of the B.C. NDP? • Possibly, but the party still needs to have a good hard look at itself between now and the next election (49%) • Yes, the party has a better chance of winning the 2017 provincial election with a different leader at the helm (47%) • No, staying on would have shown solid leadership (4%) – visit vicnews.com to vote

A young duck is searching out new peeps near Race Rocks after being released there Monday. The Common Merganser came to the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Metchosin on June 16 after a dramatic afternoon on the Malahat.

While traffic stopped in the singlelane section of Goldstream Ave. to allow a feathered family cross, one driver tried to pass on the shoulder.

She hit multiple vehicles, a rock wall and then the ducklings, said RCMP spokesperson Const. Sarah Beckett.

“The vehicle struck the ducklings and one was injured,” Beckett said.

“Our officers were able to catch up with that driver near the Malahat Mountain Inn.” Wild ARC credits Const. Kerry Mazur with bringing the injured duck to the SPCA rehab centre. A motorist flagged her down in Goldstream Park.

“It was the witness that rescued the duckling,” Beckett said. “(Mazur) contacted Wild ARC and they had someone waiting there while the witness drove the duckling (to Metchosin).”

Along with tickets for no insurance and passing on the right, the driver was issued a $345 fine under the Wildlife Act for injuring the animal.

“She had been hit by a car so there

The healthy Mersanger released Monday near Race Rocks. was certainly a lot of bruising at the beginning,” said Kari Marks, manager of B.C. SPCA Wild ARC of the then 43-gram Common Merganser duckling. “We were definitely caring for her at the beginning … she had painkillers and such.”

By the start of July she was stronger, diving for fish.

“We didn’t want to release her until she could fly,” Marks said. “By midSeptember she was starting to fly, little flights, and by the end of September she was good to go.”

With Mergansers spotted off Pedder Bay and Pearson College offering a boat, the site was chosen.

“They always do better when they’re in with other ducklings,” Marks said. “Unfortunately there weren’t any when we released her at Race Rocks, but she will find them.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Butt boosts Blue Bridge festival

T

weekend

Brent Butt is hosting a live talk show nightly during the Blue Bridge Comedy Festival. Supplied photo.

he Blue Bridge is soon to be just a ghost in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, but if Vancouver-based comic Dan Quinn has anything to say about it, its legacy will live on.

Quinn is hosting the second annual Blue Bridge Comedy Festival, a bigger and better version of the festival that kept Victorians laughing for a week straight last September. This year’s iteration runs until Sept. 29.

The pinnacle of last year’s festival was the gala show, hosted by Brent Butt at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. But Quinn decided to take a different approach this time around.

Instead of one big show with a large capacity, this year’s festival offers many shows, in smaller, more intimate venues.

Lucky Bar, the Copper Owl, Esquimalt High, the Victoria Event Centre, Ecole Victor Brodeur, Hecklers, Upstairs Cabaret, Club 9one9 and the Fleet Club are all hosting shows this time around. Venues range from a few dozen seats to a several hundred.

And the shows range in content, too.

“The Big Show is the biggest names, people you see on TV, while the Dark and Dirty Show is more edgy. If you’re married with a couple of kids, this show probably isn’t the one for you. If you don’t want to be offended,

we’ve got shows for you, too.”

There’s the Fairly Clean Show, Ratfish Lounge, the Best of Victoria Show, the Young Guns, the Out and About Show, podcast tapings, a headliner series featuring the likes of Mike Wilmot, Pete Zedlacher, Graham Clark, Brian Posehn and Elvira Kurt and even a nightly talk show — hosted by actor, comic and creator of CTV’s hit sitcom Corner Gas, Brent Butt.

“I hosted the gala show last year and I was envious of all the guys who got to hang around all week and see the other shows. It’s a really fun festival with a great crowd,” Butt says.

Butt’s nightly talk show at the Victoria Event Centre will feature some standup, some prepared bits and some different comedic guests each night, but most of the show will be off the cuff.

“It’s always a lot of fun. The format allows for fun for the audience and the performers. It’s a hybrid between a talk show and a TV show.”

The best part, says Butt, is that it’s in such a small room.

“There’s nothing that compares to playing a small venue.

While there’s magic in playing a big theatre, a small venue with a low ceiling and 200 people — that’s ideal.”

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

I

t has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.

What exactly is a heart attack?

When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart.

Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain.

A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.

Common symptoms include: • Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back.

• Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain • Shortness of breath • Sweating or a cold sweat • Feelings of anxiety or an impending sense of doom • Fatigue • Trouble sleeping • Light-headedness or dizziness

What to do if you see someone having a heart attack?

If you encounter someone who is unconscious from a presumed heart attack, call for emergency medical help If you have received training in emergency procedures, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This helps deliver oxygen to the body and brain.

L ong Weekends Rock

According to the American Heart Association, regardless of whether you’ve been trained, you should begin CPR with chest compressions. Press down about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on the person’s chest at a rate of about 100 a minute.

What can you do to improve your heart health?

Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, reported 25 years ago that humans do not make their own Vitamin C. He also found that Vitamin C is needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Pauling also found that taking several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day can help to remove artery blockages and help to prevent a heart attack. Prevention is your best strategy for a strong and healthy cardiovascular system.

T

wo very young girls are kidnapped at the beginning of Prisoners, and a suspect is soon in custody – a gormless young man with “creep” written all over him. But after a night of questioning, the lead investigator (Jake Gyllenhaal) believes that the fellow, who has the mental acuity of a 10-year old, is probably innocent. And with nothing but the scantiest of circumstantial evidence, the cops have to let him go.

That’s when what started out as a standard police procedural takes a disturbing left turn. One of the two fathers (Hugh Jackman), a sternly religious man and survivalist, turns vigilante and kidnaps the possible suspect, determined to make him talk. Suddenly the film is taking the audience into not one, but two very dark places: a missing-children thriller that winds deep into the past on the trail of a terrible evil, and into the heart of a decent man who finds himself able to do the most shocking things to save his child.

A few clues hint at strange possibilities, but nothing firms up.

Days pass and desperation increases. A second “person of interest” emerges and the plot gradually shifts from the bleak realism of a crime classic like Mystic River to lurid territory more akin to Silence of the Lambs. This sudden onslaught of horror-movie tropes seem slightly unworthy in a thoughtful film showcasing Oscar-worthy performances. That said, Prisoners is still absolutely worth seeing.

But be aware this is harsh and brutal cinema – one with several scenes that almost made my wife flee the theatre in search of a large restorative brandy.

Rating:

★★★½

Catching up to Salinger

N

otoriously reclusive author J.D. Salinger, most famous for his coming-of-age novel Catcher in the Rye, would have hated the documentary that bears his name. Quite a few critics have sneered at Salinger too, complaining about everything from the bombastic music to its “tabloid” approach more interested in sensationalism than sensitive literary analysis.

Notwithstanding its flaws, Salinger is an interesting and wideranging look at a true literary lion – a deeply flawed man whose very personal writing achieved a profound resonance with readers around the globe.

The director follows a simple psychological throughline, positing that Salinger’s horrific experiences in the Second World War left him with crippling emotional scars – a trauma that he forever after tried to purge by writing obsessively, often for days at a time. He did this locked down in the so-called “bunker” some distance from his house, totally isolated from his wife and children. It’s hard to ignore the irony of a man selfishly ignoring his own flesh and blood in order to spend endless hours in the company of the fictional Glass family whom he chronicled in numerous short stories. And Salinger’s pattern of seducing smart but impressionable girl-women and then controlling them is also explored – and in salacious enough detail to discomfit many of his fans.

There are a few dozen talking heads in Salinger, everyone from literary editors to his estranged daughter, from admiring actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman to acerbic cultural gadfly Gore Vidal. Given that the writer who published so little in his lifetime will posthumously double his oeuvre with the release of several books in the next few years, this documentary is a useful, albeit superficial, refresher course in the life and legend of a classic author.

Howling for defence Wolves surviving early injuries to vets Travis Paterson News staff

The Victoria Grizzlies aren’t the only team moving home this week as the Westshore Wolves are also back home in The Bear.

The Wolves might have drawn the unluckiest start of any club for this Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season.

Not only has the Mann Cup kept them out of Bear Mountain Arena until this week, the Wolves have been without four of its top six forwards to start the season.

“We’re coming but it’s a work in progress,” coach Rob Doyle said.

“You never know quite what you’re going to get with us.”

The Wolves (3-4-1-0) visit the Saanich Braves tonight (3-3-0-0) in hopes of wresting away another hard-earned win.

Puck drop is 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes Arena.

Despite injuries to captain Joel Gordon and two of its top scor-

Myles and Gerry Fitzgerald celebrate a goal with Rory Maguire, centre, and Nick Charif, No. 24, against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks during the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack on Saturday (Sept. 7). The Grizzlies won 5-4 in overtime.

Grizz back in the Bear Grizzlies host Bulldogs, Backs Travis Paterson News staff

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

The Victoria Grizzlies are happy to be back practising and, as of today (Sept. 27), playing in Bear Mountain Arena.

Tonight is the Grizzlies (3-3) seventh game of the B.C. Hockey League season and first at home, as the winless Alberni Bulldogs (0-7) visit. Puck drop is 7:15 p.m.

Tomorrow the Salmon Arm Silverbacks visit at the same time.

When you’re home is arguably one of the nicest arenas in the province – dressing rooms aside – it’s good to be back.

“Being on the road, it was good for us to build as a group

and build teamsmanship, but there was some adversity playing the second game on the road in two nights,” assistant head coach and general manager Craig Didmon said.

“We’ve done well to come out of it 3-3.”

The past two Friday games were wins for the Grizzlies, in Powell River and Nanaimo. But each was followed up with a loss the next night.

“Saturday we didn’t bring our best performance. We have a lot of new players who’ve come in and who’re ready to be good players in the league, just need to learn the way the league is and we’ll be one of those teams that continues to get better as the year goes on,” Didmon said.

Fans can expect to see the same dazzling moves from the Fitzgerald brothers Gerry, who leads the team in scoring with

four goals and five assists, and Myles and Leo. Didmon says the team is even more offensively dynamic up front than last year, but it will take a while to see it consistently.

“We’ve (also) got some raw defencemen who have great skills and puck moving skills.

Again, it takes time to figure out the league.”

ers from last season, Clay Carson and Kyle Richter, the Wolves have stayed the course.

Doyle hopes the team has stemmed the bleeding on defence from a couple of early season blowouts, 10-0 to the Victoria Cougars on Sept. 8 and 6-1 to the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Sept. 18.

In three of the last four games, the Wolves gave up 47, 51, and 70 shots. Remarkably, the Wolves won the 70-shot game with only 31 shots for, a 6-5 overtime win against the Campbell River Storm on Sept. 11.

“Our goaltending is not the problem. When you give up 50 to 60 shots a game, it’s a total lack of defensive commitment,” Doyle said.

The return of the aforementioned injured players will help. So will getting veteran Kayle Ramsay back.

Ramsay is still serving a lengthy one-month suspension from the end of last season.

“Looking at the big picture right now, maybe it’s a better thing, guys are showing us some things we might not have seen from them.

Instead of baby steps, some guys are taking giant steps.” sports@vicnews.com

Putting on a Brave face Travis Paterson News staff

With some highly talented forwards flying up front for the Saanich Braves, fans can be forgiven for mistaking this season’s team as one that’s flirting with a reload rather than a rebuild VIJHL season.

Not true says coach Brad Cook.

“We’re definitely in a rebuild year, we’re already starting to see the inexperience and youth show its face. But we’re letting these kids find there way after a good start,” he said.

Engineering a deal The Grizzlies are happy with its goaltending duo of local boys Nic Renyard, the starter, and Alec Dillon, the backup.

On Saturday Dillon committed to an NCAA scholarship offer from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers in New York.

Dillon starred for the Westshore Wolves junior B team last year. sports@vicnews.com

The Braves had an electric home opener at the beginning of the month, storming back from a four goal deficit to beat the Wolves. But it’s not all rosy.

“You can’t get comfy as a young player, and I’m not sure some of the guys we opened the season with have shown me they are ready to stay.”

The defence is the Braves’ rock, led by last year’s VIJHL defender of the year Garrett Kemmler, Jordan Groenhyde, Tom Dakers and Liam Sproule, though Sproule and Gronehyde are injured. sports@vicnews.com

Bill Okell put a stamp on another successful sports car season driving his modified 1964 MGB to two wins in the Nasport Lite Championship at Thundershill Raceway Park in Willows, Calif., near Sacramento.

It’s the fourth straight Nasport Lite title for Okell and his crew, with first place finishes on Saturday and Sunday. But it’s still not Okell’s desired season, as the Victoria gear head was striving to get back into the winner’s circle of the GTU Sports Car standings at the River’s Edge Road Course in Mission.

“Unfortunately I strive for perfection,” Okell said. “I’m not

going out on a losing note so I’ll be back again next year.”
