Saanich dogs hunt for fun, farmland preservation Beaver Lake area provides training ground for retrievers Charla Huber News staff

John Costello throws a decoy duck and blows his whistle, signs that tell his springer spaniel, Hunter, it’s time to go fetch.

The exercise helps the dog learn about tracking and hunting, but it’s also a pastime Costello enjoys.

The 62-year-old Saanich resident can be found daily at the Island and Pacific Labrador Retriever Club’s training area at Beaver Lake ponds with Hunter and his yellow lab, Bella.

“Labs are pretty easy to train and they are big robust dogs and can retrieve big birds up to 12 pounds,” says Costello, the club’s training co-ordinator. “Springer spaniels specialize in upland hunting of pheasants and grouse.”

The Labrador retriever club shares the acres of training space with the Island Retriever Club on the western edge of Beaver Lake, an idyllic area with wide ponds, ditches, brush and forest.

Not all retriever club members are hunters, but all enjoy seeing their dogs become more proficient retrievers. Some train their dogs to meet Canadian Kennel Club standards.

“Beaver Lake is for field work. It simulates what happens if someone went hunting,” says Anne Morrison, president of the Island and Pacific Labrador Retriever Club (IPLRC). “Not everyone likes to hunt, but the dog likes doing what it’s bred for. Retrieving is so wonderful for them. Like border collies for herding, retrievers live to retrieve.”

The club, formed in 1992, remains small with about 20 members – “We’re not big but we are keen,” Morrison remarks. “We’re just interested in labs and how labs can be good citizens.”

Labs are trained to follow their owner’s voice commands and hand signals to locate a decoy duck tossed in a pond or the forest, either using a mechanical launcher or another person.

A starter pistol is often used to replicate the hunting experience.

“We change it up all the time, the obstacles, where the prey is hidden,” Morrison said. “You don’t want to make them fail if the dog doesn’t know where to go. You have to help him or her find it.”

Cops for Cancer tradition continues at Reynolds More than $91,000 raised for cause, pledge money still rolling in Don Descoteau News staff

Doesn’t matter what year it is, or who happens to be decked out in red, blue and yellow spandex – the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team knows how to make an entrance.

On Friday, this year’s Tour roster rolled into a packed gymnasium at Reynolds secondary, led by drum-pounding members of the school’s marching band.

It was barely controlled bedlam and the roar was almost deafening.

Amazingly the assembled students and staff were able to calm themselves enough to allow Tour de Rock MC and rider Const.

Mike Russell of the Victoria Police Department to introduce the entire team, spare one unmistak-

able figure who had yet to have his head shaved.

Saanich police equipment officer Kevin Nunn, whose cultivated blond spikes and English accent have earned him the nickname Billy Idol, for his resemblance to the Brit 80’s rocker, exclaimed, “This baby’s coming off today!”

With the p.a. blasting Jennifer Lopez’ party anthem “Let’s Get Loud,” students roared as the electric clippers plowed through Nunn’s spikes, row by row like a lawnmower.

The whole procedure took about two minutes, after which the big moment came.

Key fundraisers Kathryn Johnson and Anna Sollazzo, both in Grade 12, were marched out by vice-principal Dean Norris-Jones with the giant faux cheque folded.

When they slowly opened it to reveal the amount, the students and staff again exploded, to the tune of $75,158. And as NorrisJones noted, there’s always more pledges to follow. As of Monday, the total had surpassed $91,000.

Afterward Johnson, still holding

Wyatt Rose had the pleasure of cutting off two years’ growth of Grade 12 student Steven Arnold’s hair Friday at Reynolds secondary. Arnold raised $1,614 for the Cops for Cancer and dedicated it to his grandfather, who passed away from cancer. one end of the cheque, voiced her enthusiasm for the annual fundraiser.

“It’s just so awesome. This

campaign involves everyone in the school,” she said, from head shaves to bake sale purchases to securing auction items.

Sollazzo, who focused her volunteer efforts on bake sales and silent auctions, is proud of the tradition of giving at her school.

“It’s incredible to be part of a community where service is such an integral part of the culture,” she said, adding that a car wash held the previous weekend drew numerous volunteers and dozens of customers, despite a constant downpour.

As the team rolled off to their next stop, even Nunn, whose personal fundraising has included pulling a Mini around University of Victoria’s Ring Road and riding for 24 hours around the same road, was taken aback.

“It’s so empowering to walk in there and get that kind of reception,” he said. “I have so much respect for them, because it’s kids giving to kids that didn’t have a choice whether or not they got sick.”

As of this week, the Tour de Rock had raised close to $600,000.

Area smokers could be kicked to the curb The CRD’s latest clean air bylaw, to be voted on today, would push smokers to the fringes of downtown Victoria Daniel Palmer News staff

It’s the summer of 2014 in downtown Victoria. An unassuming tourist wanders down Trounce Alley off Government Street, admiring the quaint storefronts before stopping to light a cigarette.

“I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to smoke here,” says a disapproving passerby.

The tourist returns to the swarm of pedestrians along Government and takes a drag. Dirty looks continue until a nearby food cart operator informs the tourist of a new regionwide bylaw that restricts smoking within seven metres of any doorway, window or air intake.

“I think you should be OK along the Inner Harbour,” the local says.

“But don’t stop in Bastion Square – public spaces are banned too.”

As restrictive tobacco bylaws continue to expand across North American cities, smokers are left with shrinking public space in which to enjoy a legal activity. The Capital Regional District’s latest clean air bylaw, if approved by the board today (Oct. 9), would ban smoking in parks, public squares and playgrounds.

Large swathes of downtown Victoria would also be smoke-free if the minimum smoking distance from buildings is increased from three to seven metres.

“The question is, when does the government have a right to tell us not to do something that is perfectly legal,” said Micheal Vonn, policy director with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

The latest CRD bylaw doesn’t strike the right balance between personal freedom and public health concerns, she said.

“We need to accommodate

RENO ME! with

FortisBC Describe what

YOU WOULD DO! GET VOTES & WIN!

smokers (as well), and when we hear plans, for example, for no smoking in vast public parks, we say that’s a little too broad.”

Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical officer at Island Health, said in his submission to the CRD that evidence proves there is no safe exposure to secondhand smoke, and that fact alone is adequate for stricter bylaws.

Stanwick’s office has also confirmed that tobacco restrictions in public spaces can lead to “significant positive social modelling,” while recent brain studies show the thought processes of children and youth can be affected through exposure to smokers.

But Vonn doesn’t buy Stanwick’s policy approach. Public health is a legitimate concern, she said, but some of the academic submissions given to the CRD board go too far in their scope.

“The question is, when does the government have a right to tell us not to do something that is perfectly legal?”

– Micheal Vonn “The public health official is saying this is important to role model for children, and we know children are very impressionable.

But in a free and democratic country, we do not demand citizens be role models for other people’s children,” Vonn said.

The seven-metre expansion could also shut down smoking areas attached to bars and restaurants, like those in Bastion Square beside Darcy’s Pub. “(Legislation) used to say we needed a separate room for smoking, and restaurants spent

thousands of dollars renovating, and then they banned that,” said Bob Parotta, president of the B.C. Restaurant Association, Victoria chapter.

“We’re all looking forward to the days where no one smokes, but we can’t impose that on our guests.”

On the Victoria News’ Facebook page, Dani Kong summed up the sentiment of many smokers who feel they’re being covertly outlawed for their behaviour.

“Why is smoking even legal if it is so addictive, so unhealthy and so disgusting that you can’t smoke around other people,” Kong wrote.

CRD directors rejected a strikingly similar clean air bylaw last May in a tight 12-11 vote.

Should the bylaw be approved today, it will move forward to a public input process. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Hunting dogs are used for agricultural purposes Continued from Page A1 volunteer notebook

Volunteer Today

Costello uses his dogs for hunting geese, ducks, pheasants and grouse in the Cowichan Valley, but they’re also used to rid Canadian geese from farmer’s fields in Greater Victoria. Local geese typically eat

crops and no longer migrate.

Canada geese are so accustomed to humans that dogs are far more effective in scaring them away, Costello said. “The dogs flush the birds into the air. You have to up the ante to scare them now. If you have a lot of pressure in one field they’ll

often just fly right over it the next time because they remember.”

Metchosin farmer Tom Henry has found great success in opening up his wheat fields to Costello and the dogs under a permit issued by the Canadian Wildlife Service. This year the farmer lost less than one acre of

his 35-acre wheat crop to geese, and credits Costello’s services.

“A lot of what we grow we couldn’t do without John and the dogs,” said Henry. “The geese like the wheat as much as I like barbecued hogs.” editor@saanichnews.com

Runners set marathon pace

Liz Carr will take on the half-marathon at this year’s Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon.

Travis Paterson/ News staff

Victoria Marathon goes Oct. 13 Travis Paterson News staff

The reasons behind running a marathon for the first time are life-changing for many people. For others, the reason is actually pretty simple.

Charles Hogg, 37, works in the B.C. legislative library. He started running to lose weight in his mid 30s, when his small frame began to carry close to 200 pounds.

He has since kept off the 40 lbs. he lost from running and diet changes.

On Sunday (Oct. 13), Hogg will be among many first-time runners doing the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon, which starts and ends in front of his workplace on Belleville Street. “I’m about 164 to 166 lbs. now, though it depends how much beer I have watching Sunday football,” he says, laughing.

Hogg always believed he was active.

He took up ice hockey as an adult, before the demands of a young family put an end to that.

“I was putting on weight because the sports I was doing back in high school were done. As an adult, you don’t go out on the weekend with the guys and wrestle.” he said.

Confined to the elliptical machine due to a recent training injury, Hogg was hoping to be back on the road this week.

“I’m still going to go for it. I’ve done a lot of training. My biggest run was 36 kilometres before I hurt my ankle so I was getting close,” he says. “We’ll just see how it goes.”

Whether or not Hogg completes his first marathon, the decision to start running changed his life.

It’s changed the life of Liz Carr, too, but only after multiple sclerosis changed it first. When the 34-yearold was diagnosed in 2011, the MS Society told her to get active.

“My first run with my running group was five kilometres.

I almost quit, I really did, I was so winded,” she said. “But I didn’t.”

Carr had run before,

iving Thanksgat...

Dinner

but only short distances. When she learned she had MS – in the same way many people do, by going blind in one eye – she was floored.

“I lost sight, lost a lot of strength on one side and I lost all my confidence. I had to build it up from the bottom.”

Carr, general manager for Kelsey’s restaurant in Saanich, credits running and a renewed perspective on life for her feeling better than ever. “Last year was my first halfmarathon, it was an amazing experience.

The full marathon, I might do it one day.

Hey, I went from not

being able to run down the street to doing a half. For now, I’m happy with the half.” sports@vicnews.com

Price includes:

Continued from Page A1 In total, enumerators in 1921 asked 35 different questions of Canadians.

There are also still pages left to be transcribed from the 1911 census, released a decade ago, Duncan said. “We want to tackle these two in tandem. This project ties in with our upcoming (project), ‘Saanich Remembers World War One.’” “The census data allows us to see a picture of Saanich in 1911, a family in 1911, and we can see from attestation papers that a member of that family left Saanich and served in World War

One. Then we can look at that family again in 1921.”

Digitizing the information will allow genealogists and historians to search the Saanich information by name or neighbourhood, making it easier to wade through and find information.

Saanich Archives is looking for residents to volunteer to transcribe the census images. Interested parties must have access to a home computer and should have experience using Microsoft Excel.

“By doing this ourselves and allowing local people to transcribe the information, people can connect to their neighbour-

hood and develop a sense of appreciation of the history of the neighbourhood,” Duncan said.

“Saanich already has a really strong sense of community and by working on a project like this, volunteering, people can really build on that.”

The archives will host an orientation session this month to outline, step-by-step, how to read the handwritten information and properly transcribe it.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Duncan at archives@saanich.ca. kslavin@saanich news.com

Greater Victoria teens sought for parliament Ninety-five young men and women are being recruited to participate in this year’s B.C. Youth Parliament.

The organization is asking community and youth leaders across B.C. to nominate young people to take part in the program.

“BCYP is education and community service in action,” says Ambrose Yung, premier for the upcoming year.

B.C. Youth Parliament is a non-partisan, nondenominational, non-profit service organization, which plans, fundraises and puts in place service projects that help improve the lives of young people.

Members spend time at the B.C. legislature

in Victoria between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day every year to debate and vote on the organization’s proposed activities

and issues of local, national, and international importance. All members sit as independents.

OUR VIEW

Bully tells us how to behave

Attention employers, you have less than a month to establish policies around bullying and harassment, or face the wrath of WorkSafe B.C. If you noticed the irony in that statement, good, because it’s just so ironic that one of the biggest bullies in the province is going to dictate antibullying policy to the rest of us.

On Oct. 1 WorkSafe announced policy changes on bullying and harassment. It defines bullying and harassment as anuy action which: a. includes any inappropriate conduct or comment by a person towards a worker that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would cause that worker to be humiliated or intimidated, but b. excludes any reasonable action taken by an employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the place of employment.

Most of us understand that WorkSafe is trying to educate the working public that bullying and harassment are unacceptable. Most of us take that as a given and work in an environment where people behave with courtesy and professionalism towards others. Others aren’t so fortunate, but we wouldn’t be relying on WorkSafe B.C. to “save the day” if you’re working in a bad place.

WorkSafe does not plan an “enforcement blitz.”

Rather, the provincial body will respond to enquiries and complaints – but not all – and will rely on inspectors to ferret out workplace bullies.

As well, a victim first needs to file an in-house report before any action, if any, is taken by WorkSafe. We wonder how that will go over when you hand the complaint to the supervisor who’s named in the same report?

The other difficulty we have in WorkSafe overseeing this is its own track record. We’ve read far too many stories about injured workers who feel “bullied” by WorkSafe in regard to how they’re treated by case workers, the massive amount of paperwork they’re expected to complete when they’re not well, or even WorkSafe’s overruling of family doctors’ advice for their own patients.

We would rather have WorkSafe inspectors looking for unsafe practices that can result in real physical harm to employees. This is a tangible goal and that’s what they do best.

Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers.

One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam.

After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan.

You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic.

Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children.

I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

not after the damage has been done, but before.

We need an environmental study before the subdivision is approved, not after a serious environmental accident.

All the community is asking is that the District follow its own environmental guidelines and have a full ESR before any development.

Ten years ago the residents of this area officially expressed their concern, in the Harder Report, for King’s Pond, the wetland, Cedar Hill Park and the neighbourhoods that support the pond and park. The concerns expressed then are the exact concerns the community has now.

Some in the District seem to be ignoring the documented environmental concerns in their own report. This is not just

a bunch of residents complaining about a new subdivision but a very long standing documented environmental issue.

King’s Pond is a natural treasure. Not only is it a wildlife sanctuary, a park and the only remaining natural pond in Cedar Hill, it is an area visited and enjoyed by thousands from Saanich and all over Greater Victoria. It is part of a park that rivals Beacon Hill in Victoria.

Let’s treat it as such.

Express your views to Saanich council and let them know the time to do an ESR is before an environmental accident happens, not after, as they did in 2003.

We cannot afford to repeat this same mistake and lose this natural gem that is enjoyed by so many.

Readers respond: Climate change, smart meters, church cell tower

Smart meter rant not so smart in facts Re: Regulator’s reading on smart meters (vicnews.com) According to Tom Fletcher, the “expert” hired by Fortis claims that the “natural RF background level” is 10 times that of a bank of smart meters and more than twice that of other man-made sources. This is ludicrous, unscientific and false.

The natural radio frequency background level is the intensity of the radiation in the radio/microwave range in the absence of any additional man-made sources. By definition, this is the baseline level and therefore cannot possibly be higher than any other measured level in the presence of other RF sources.

The commission to which the expert himself refers to

states, “Compared to manmade fields, natural fields are extremely small at RF frequencies.”

The table published in the online story includes “averaged” values referring to a convenient mix of frequency ranges which are not relevant to smart meters. The data would not withstand the scrutiny of any respectable scientific organization or peer-reviewed journal, yet the B.C. Utilities Commission accepted and approved this “expert” testimony during the hearings about Fortis’s application for its advanced metering program.

The public is being badly misled in this debate. I would strongly advise Mr. Fletcher to double-check his information and to consider some independent research before labelling the opposition to the smart meter program a “circus of quackery.”

Church cell tower debate crosses lines Re: Church working with Telus to install cellphone antenna (News, Oct. 2) Thanks for this timely article by Kyle Slavin on Cadboro Bay United Church and Telus.

I recently bought a house less than 100 metres from the proposed tower. After some research, I became very distressed about the effects of electro-magnetic radiation in such close proximity to my house and that of my neighbours.

The church and Telus will profit greatly from this to the detriment of local citizens, who have no choice or say in the matter because it loosely fits the legal code. I am not against cellphones or cellphone towers, but we really should have stricter codes keeping them out of residential areas, specifically away from children and seniors.

I have encouraged the Saanich mayor and council to have more municipal involvement, local government approval and due diligence from someone outside the telecommunications industry.

No one wants a cellphone tower in their backyard.

Re: Science loses ground to superstition (B.C. Views, Oct. 2) In this disjointed editorial, Tom Fletcher managed to contradict his claim of objectivity about climate change science, display his ignorance of the scientific process and mount a spirited defence of the beleaguered oil and gas industry and downtrodden multinational corporations.

Climate change science deals with large and very complex systems. Mr. Fletcher has a problem with the ‘shifting theories’ behind the models, but that’s what science is all about. Models and hypotheses change as more is learned. The fact most of the models point in the same direction should raise a flag, but Fletcher will continue to doubt, even as the waters from the melting polar ice caps raises around his neck.

He rails on about supposed misinformation given

by David Suzuki and allegedly perpetrated by the CBC and the nefarious tactics of “U.S.-financed environmental groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum.” Yet, not a word from the objective

Fletcher about the billions spent by oil and gas and multinational corporations on carefully orchestrated campaigns designed to at least mislead. He got the lesson to be drawn from Galileo backwards. Climate change scientists are the Galileos of our age. The oil industry and its allies are the deniers.

The District of Saanich is poised to make the same costly and embarrassing environmental blunder that it made 10 years ago.

A five-home strata subdivision is slated for approval on a lot that contains the sensitive wetland area of King’s Pond. Ten years ago the District dredged up this portion of the wetland area of King’s Pond, tearing up the natural plants and trees along the way and a sizable migratory and songbird bird habitat. At the time the District was required to restore the wetland. It was an embarrassing incident in the press.

After the fact they also commissioned an environmental assessment called the Harder Report.

Moving out of your parents’ home is something every young adult expects to do at some point. But what happens when life circumstances force you to rethink the proximity to your parents?

Esquimalt resident Lori Fenner lived at her parents’ Dunsmuir Road home during university days in the early 2000s, using the home’s reconfigured twocar garage as a large bedroom. Although she continued to live there after graduation, she didn’t expect it to be long-term.

A couple of years back, when her mother developed health problems that required closer monitoring, Fenner began to think about how she could stay nearby but enjoy a level of independence.

Around the same time, she was exposed to Small Modern Living, the brainchild of North Saanich-based architect-designer Dan Boot. The concept sees tiny modular homes designed and built to be both green and affordable, priced in the $100,000 range.

“We thought we’d take it and run with (the idea) to see how far we could go,” says Fenner, who has worked closely with her parents on the plan.

Fast forward to this fall. Fenner’s new 400-square-foot home, labelled Studio 37, was installed on the Dunsmuir Road lot near where the garage stood before being dismantled. The footprint for the new building is actually smaller, she says, but the styling and convenience inside are clearly an upgrade.

“It’s incredible,” she says. “When I walked into it I said, ‘this is a small-scale version of a dream home.’ It has granite countertops, a washer-dryer, stainless steel appliances – and the space feels a lot bigger than what you

Tuning in to

iPOD PHARMACY O TRAVIS PATERSON sports@vicnews.com

ona Jean has seen first hand how music can affect positive change in people with chronic pain or dementia.

As a music therapist at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, Jean works off site, visiting people at various facilities. She arranges to have live music brought in, mostly for group settings.

“We get to see the impact our work makes on a daily basis, it brings a quality of life to people,” Jean says.

And now Jean can take music therapy to a more personal level, and with increased regularity, thanks to the iPod Pharmacy program, an initiative of the province’s Music Heals charity.

The iPod Pharmacy is a ready-to-go package containing an iPod (or MP3 player), a set of headphones and iTunes gift cards for downloading music.

“Ideally the patient can identify some music they’d like to download, if not we’ll help them choose,” Jean says.

Functioning iPods or MP3 players are cleaned, any previous music is erased, and they’re matched with a new set of headphones donated by Skullcandy. The iTunes gift cards are donated by a local Scotiabank branch.

“This allows music therapists in B.C. to help more patients,” says iPod Pharmacy creator Chris Brandt, executive director of Music Heals. “Even if they’re just staying overnight in the hospital, they’re stressed and can’t sleep, or something else, people can be lifted by music in so many ways.”

The program is off and running in Vancouver and looking to expand to Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg.

“Scotiabank comes on as a sponsor branch by branch, it’s not a national thing, so this is all about local investment at every level,” Brandt says. “We wanted to get people involved with Music Heals and instead of asking people for money, we wanted to see what else we could do.”

The distribution model for iPod Pharmacy gives the power to music therapists – of which there are 22 on the Island – to apply for and allocate the iPod Pharmacy packages in their community.

“Music therapists are the experts so we put it in their hands,” he says.

“This really relies on iPod donations and that’s where we’re trying to raise the most awareness right now,” Jean says. “So if you or someone you know is upgrading your iPod then please consider donating the old one. We’re ready to begin distributing to patients,” Jean adds.

Good-as-new iPods or MP3 players can be dropped off at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, or mailed to iPod Pharmacy, c/o Victoria Conservatory of Music, TRAVIS PATERSON PHOTO 900 Johnson St., Victoria, V8V 3N4.

acific Opera Victoria’s new season opens with its 100th production, Falstaff, at the Royal Theatre on Oct. 17.

The Italian comedy by Giuseppe Verdi is based on the Shakespeare-invented character, Sir John Falstaff, a large, harddrinking, womanizing scoundrel.

This was Verdi’s last opera and was composed when he was almost 80.

POV founding director Timothy Vernon said opening the new season with Falstaff is a fitting tribute to one of the most influential opera composers of the 19th century, who was born Oct. 10, 1813.

“It is our 100th production and this is Verdi’s bicentennial,” Vernon said, during a break from rehearsals. “It’s a festive way to celebrate with Falstaff opening the season.”

This season’s programming is full of comedies. After Falstaff, Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos will take the stage in February and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro opens in April.

“No one dies on stage this season,” Vernon joked, explaining last year’s programming of tragedies MacBeth and Tosca

A FEATURE LOOK AT HOCKEY IN GREATER VICTORIA

Ready to launch Royals 17-year-olds put team success first in NHL draft year Travis Paterson News staff

It’s never early too early to talk about the playoffs. And it’s never, ever too early to talk about the NHL Entry Draft.

Even before the 2013-14 Western Hockey League season started, going deep into the playoffs was already part of the daily conversation for Joe Hicketts and Jack Walker of the Victoria Royals.

That’s because Hicketts, a Kamloops native, and Walker, from Minnesota, are two of the league’s prospects who will be scouted thoroughly this season ahead of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft next June.

The Royals/Bruins franchise has never produced a first round NHL draft pick. Despite having superb skill and skating qualities, Walker (5-foot11, 165 lbs.) and Hicketts (5-foot-8, 180 lbs.) are on the small side in terms of pro size. They’re long shots to go in the first round. But they’re both on the radar, and a big season can change everything. “(Getting drafted) is the goal but team success brings individual success,” Hicketts said.

“We’ve heard it all the way up coming into this league, but it’s true, the farther you go in the playoffs the higher your chances of getting drafted.”

“The fact is some guys mature later than others,” said Royals general manager Cam Hope.

“In a way, it takes a special and sort of a weird combination of player, an early bloomer, to get drafted into the NHL in his draft year.”

If the Royals can improve this year over last, and general manager Cam Hope believes they will, then

Travis Paterson/News staff

Jack Walker and Joe Hicketts were just 16 when they began playing the point on the Royals’ power play. Their experience will be counted on as the Royals begin their rise in the WHL. Hicketts and Walker will be at the centre of it.

The 17-year-olds are inextricably linked in the way in which their paths have crossed. As 16-year-old rookies last season they were paired together on the power play, with Walker dropping back from his regular role at forward to play the point with Hicketts, a regular defenceman.

Hicketts was shortlisted by Central Scouting Services this year on the 2014 early watch list for WHL draft eligible

players. He’s represented Canada at the Youth Olympics and the World IIHF Under-17, and in July he helped Canada win the the Ivan Hlinka Memorial U18 world championship.

Walker, meanwhile, has been in the Team U.S.A. pipeline for years.

When it comes to big games, Nic Renyard has had a close-up view on numerous occasions.

The 18-year-old goaltender, acquired in June by the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies, backed up Victoria product Chad Katunar last season with the Penticton Vees en route to the BCHL final. Renyard was also on the scene as an affiliate player the year before as the Vees won the national RBC Cup. The Grizzlies hope the Victoriaborn Renyard can turn that biggame exposure into wins as they try to improve on a successful 2012-13 season that saw them upset in the second round of the playoffs by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

“Experience is on Renyard’s side (from) Penticton,” says Grizzlies assistant coach Craig Didmon, who coached the six-footer in midget with the South Island Thunderbirds. “Plus (being back home), he’s in an environment where he’s comfortable.”

Renyard, who posted a 2.23 goals against average with one shutout in 20 games with the Vees last year, believes his time in Penticton taught him about what it

“A lot of it’s about taking care of your body every day, so that when you get into the playoffs you’re ready,” he says. “The longer you can stay without injury or sickness, the more you can take advantage come playoff time.”

With a relatively young lineup in place for the Grizzlies, Renyard hopes to bring a leadership qual-

ity to the team.

Didmon likes the team’s depth in goal, calling backup Alec Dillon, 17, a “skilled, athletic goalie.” The six-foot-five West Shore Wolves junior B alumnus, also a local product and former midget teammate of Renyard, plans to battle his friend for playing time this season. Despite limited exposure in the BCHL, Dillon recently commit-

ted to play for the NCAA’s Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Engineers in 2015-16.

“Going in, I know Nic’s the older one and clearly the starter,” says Dillon, who served as backup with the Grizz for three games last year.

“There’s no taking games off. You have to make the most of your opportunities at this level or you get dropped down.”

Despite the on-ice competition, the goalies appreciate each other.

“He’s a bit of a different kind of character,” Renyard says of Dillon, the more outgoing, vocal member of the goalie tandem. “But we can build off each other and we push each other in practice. It’s a good learning partnership.”

Overall, the Grizzlies have nine returnees this season, including the electrifying Fitzgerald triplets, Myles, Leo and Gerry, who are three of five 20-year-olds on the roster.

The high-energy linemates, who finished 1-2-3 in team scoring last season, will once again be key to the club’s offence and power play.

“They don’t take losing lightly,” Didmon says of the trio. “Being 20 year olds, they want to finish this off with a championship.”

The Grizzlies opened their season in Penticton on Sept. 6 and play their home opener Sept. 27 at Bear Mountain Arena. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

National development Micah Hart on the national team radar Steven Heywood News staff

Saanichton’s Micah Hart has jumped at every opportunity thrown her way to improve her hockey skills and in the process has caught the attention of Hockey Canada.

Hart was selected most recently to the Under 18 junior national hockey team and played in a three-game series against the United States in Lake Placid, New York. She was one of 22 players chosen to suit up for Canada after two conditioning and training camps run by Hockey Canada.

“I still enjoy it,” Hart says, “and that’s why I love to play hockey. I hope, someday, to represent Canada on the ice.”

The 16-year-old defenceman honed her skills internationally this summer.

She was invited in August to London,

England for an ICAAF development camp and worked with players, coaches and team officials from 18 countries around the world as other nations sought to improve their women’s hockey programs.

Hart has been at it for 12 years since she started in the Peninsula Minor Hockey program. She is currently enrolled in the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton. The team at OHA plays in an east coast hockey league, where they finished in the middle of the pack in their first season in the league.

Hart says she will return to Penticton for her Grade 12 year this fall and continue to develop her hockey skills.

To get there, Hart knows it’s going to be hard work. A typical week during her summer break included five dryland workouts and another two to three sessions on the ice. Training ramped up from there now that she’s back at the academy.

“It’s tough, but it’s worth it in the end.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

defenceman for his national team, the position he was initially pegged for when he came to the Royals in 2012.

But Walker was converted to forward after a slow start.

He scored in his first game as a forward and has been a versatile part of the Royals ever since, quarterbacking the power play. Thanks to his experience with the American national program he will be scouted thoroughly this year. Same goes for Hicketts, who was on Canada’s top defensive pairing at the Ivan Hlinka tourney with Aaron Ekblad of the OHL, a

top prospect heading into the 2014 draft.

They may not get selected in the first round next June, a feather still missing from the franchise’s cap, but Hope believes everything is in place for it to happen soon.

“If you look around the Western League rinks of the teams that have been around a long time, it is a big deal,” Hope said. “(Having) first or second round draft picks who go on to play in the NHL leaves a legacy behind, something for the players here to shoot for.” sports@vicnews.com

Czech-ing in How the KHL lured Ryan O’Byrne to Prague Travis Paterson News staff

Ryan O’Byrne celebrates a Lev Praha goal with teammates, including fellow ex-NHL player Niko Kapanen.

www.wbrook.ca

It was the middle of summer and Ryan O’Byrne stood among a throng of parents and kids at Kirby’s Source For Sports.

The TV ran a recap of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, focusing on the near comeback of O’Byrne’s Toronto Maple Leafs over the Boston Bruins. On came Game 4 of the Leafs versus the Bruins.

Months had past, but O’Byrne couldn’t look away.

“Oh here it is,” he said.

It was overtime and Bruins’ forward David Krejci skated towards the Toronto goal with a teammate, two-on-one, against O’Byrne. Krejci shot and scored and the Bruins won the game. O’Byrne didn’t really have a chance.

“It sticks with you for a little while,” O’Byrne said. “To see (the Bruins) go all the way to the finals was difficult. It solidified that we could have gone all the way to the finals, but that’s why you play hockey, to be in the playoffs and enjoy that series. Toronto hadn’t been in the playoffs for nine years. It was a lot of excitement, you could feel the buzz in the city.”

O’Byrne’s stop at Kirby’s was to pass on a $40,000 cheque to KidSport Victoria, raised at the second annual Ryan O’Byrne Charity Classic, a week-long hockey camp held in early August at the Ian Stewart Complex. In just two years the camp has become a major date on the calendar, bringing together local NHLers Jamie and Jordie Benn (Dallas Stars), Tyson Barrie (Colorado Avalanche) Matt Irwin (San Jose Sharks), and more.

For O’Byrne, 29, it was his first summer as an unrestricted free agent. But the phone never rang from the Leafs, or any other NHL team. O’Byrne kept cool, but he wasn’t going to wait.

Without an NHL camp invite, O’Byrne signed with Lev Praha in early September. The team came to him, and now he’s playing in the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League.

“Right now I’m enjoy playing in the KHL. I’m in the the top six with power play and penalty kill time, about 20 minutes a night,” O’Byrne told the News.

“It’s a good group of guys and I really like it.”

It could be worse. O’Byrne has a twoyear deal with a temporary out clause that allows him to sign with an NHL team next summer. He’s based in historic Prague of the Czech Republic. And he doesn’t have to fight for ice time, which he had to do for all 308 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Avalanche and Leafs.

Ryan O’Byrne

Lev Praha

Instead of focusing on getting into the lineup, O’Byrne is focused on adjusting to each arena, as the KHL rinks are not standardized, with some using IIHF size ice and some closer to the NHL. “The big ice is definitely an adjustment with a lot more skating and puck control, so you’ve got play your angles a lot better,” he said. “And there isn’t as much hitting, just because it’s difficult to catch guys.

“In Minsk, Belarus, it’s big, and in Moscow it’s a little smaller, so it changes team to team. You go out in the pre-game skate and (try to) get used to it.”

If anything, O’Byrne’s chances of returning to the NHL can improve as much as they can shrink. Despite his age, he has NHL experience and is adding to his skill set. He’s already known to stand up for his teammates and work as a shutdown defenceman. And he’s got experience playing in hockey fishbowls such as Toronto and Montreal. If he can improve just a little on his offence, skating and/or defensive angles, he’ll make a nice veteran addition to an NHL club next year. Especially when the salary cap is lifted for the 2014-15 NHL season, as the tight 2013-14 salary cap may have squeezed O’Byrne out, as he made $1.5 million. If not, he’s got a good thing going, playing pro hockey in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

“I’m not worried about (returning) to the NHL right now.” sports@vicnews.com

Bulldogs win VIU tourney Evidence is mounting that the Belmont Bulldogs senior boys volleyball team is as good as people in town are saying it is.

The Bulldogs took first place in the Vancouver Island University Volleyball Tournament on the weekend while taking out several of the Island’s top teams along the way.

The team won six out of six matches in pool play, and all four playoff games, and only dropped two sets in the entire tournament.

“It made me so happy to watch them play like an elite team and knock out Oak Bay and then come back in three in the final,” coach Kris Johnson said. “They never gave up and always played like gentleman

which truly is what I'm proud of most.”

The Bulldogs beat Highlands 2-1 in first round of the playoffs and Ucluelet 2-0 in the quarterfinal. Then came an impressive 2-0 win over the always strong Oak Bay Barbers in the semifinal, setting up the team’s final against Nanaimo District secondary. The team needed the tiebreaker to defeat Nanaimo.

Nanaimo and Highlands are the fifth and sixth ranked AA teams in the province, respectively. Belmont was not included in the Oct. 2 release of the provincial senior boys AAA rankings, but will likely enter the top10 next week.

It’s all part of a strong start by the Bulldogs, which finished sec-

Rams stay undefeated with win over Van College The Mount Douglas Rams senior boys are still undefeated at 3-0 in B.C. High School Football play with a 42-21 win over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday.

It was a rematch of the Rams’ 2012 provincial championship win over the Fighting Irish (1-2).

Rams star Marcus Davis was instrumental in all areas of the field with seven solo tackles, 12 carries for 169 yards rushed, one touchdown and three receptions for 62 yards.

“The Varsity offensive line was stellar once again, as evidenced by our 417 yards rushing by eight different ball carriers for the Rams,” coach Mark Townsend said.

Running back Julian Luis rushed for four touchdowns. Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon threw a 20-yard TD pass to Seye Farinu.

Kicker Callum Duke converted all six touchdowns.

The No. 1 AAA seed Rams play an interesting exhibition game on Saturday, as the club travels to South Delta to play the No. 1-ranked AA team. The Belmont Bulldogs (1-1)senior team is coming off a bye week and will visit the Notre Dame Jugglers (0-2). sports@vicnews.com

ond place in the annual Camosun Chargers tournament last month. The team is built around a core group of seniors which Johnson has coached for five seasons.

Lower Vancouver Island high school boys volleyball continues tonight (Oct. 9) with Reynolds, Spectrum and Claremont at Mount Douglas; Parkland and Belmont at Esquimalt; and Stelly’s and Oak Bay at Lambrick. All matches start at 6 p.m.

Results from the senior girls challenge games on Tuesday were past press time. The Lower Island girls league will break into power pools based on the results of this week for next week’s games on Oct. 15. sports@vicnews.com

Cougars open season with 10 straight wins Victoria Cougars Wade Johnson and Jake Daughtry each scored two goals and goalie Connor Beauchamp made just 13 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Cougars earned a convincing 10th win of the season, 7-0 over the Westshore Wolves (5-6-1-1) at Archie Browning Sports Centre on Sunday.

Thursday (Oct. 10) the Cougars host the Saanich Braves, 7 p.m. at Archie Browning. The Braves (5-5) earned a 6-2 road victory over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Saturday after a 5-2 loss to the Kerry Park Islanders on Friday. The Wolves host Comox Valley tonight, 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena.

Former Vic High teacher Frank Canacari will serve a fourmonth sentence in the community for stalking his ex-girlfriends.

The sentencing by Victoria provincial court judge Jeanne Harvey wraps up more than three years of court proceedings for Canacari, who was convicted on one count of criminal harassment and two counts of being unlawfully in the homes of two women in 2010.

Canacari, 46, showed no emotion on Thursday as Harvey read out the reasons for her sentencing decision. “Mr. Canacari continues to deny any criminal behaviour,�

Harvey said.

She called his behaviour a “gross invasion of privacy and an attack on the security each (woman) felt in their home.�

Canacari was also ordered to undergo regular psychiatric therapy, in the hopes that he will come to recognize the severity of his crimes. “It’s particularly disturbing (Canacari) is unable or unwilling to acknowledge the impact of his behaviour,� Harvey said.

Canacari has been on unpaid medical leave from the Greater Victoria School District since June 2010, when he was arrested at the school on the charges; he no longer holds a teaching certificate.

Any decision to allow Canacari to regain his teaching certificate now be left in the hands of decided by the B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch. dpalmer@vicnews.com
