Fish fence project, Page A4

Belmont Ave

The arrival of fall brings with it cooler weather and colourful foliage, but for the stewards who oversee the Colquitz River, it also marks the start of salmon season.

A small dedicated crew of volunteers recently installed a fish-counting fence in the river behind Tillicum Centre. The fence

fish and inspect its visual health.

The fence funnels fish into a temporary holding cell, from which volunteers remove them one at a time for counting. They’re then released upstream from the fence.

Since its installation on Oct. 5, the fence hasn’t caught any fish – though volunteers acknowledge it’s still very early in the season.

While the water level is still quite low in the Colquitz, Bos said, a few coho made it up the river in late September when the region was hit with heavy rain and wind.

allows the stewards to keep a close eye on the coho salmon that will return to Saanich to spawn in the coming months.

“There’s scientific value in knowing what’s migrating up the creek and what’s coming down; that’s why we do the counting. The count results give you an indication of the health of the watershed,” said Chris Bos, a board member with the Colquitz Salmonid Stewardship and Education Society.

For a dozen autumns now, volunteers have visited the counting fence daily as part of their monitoring of the waterway’s health.

Stewards not only count the number of fish heading from the Gorge up the river, they identify species and sex, measure each

Tighter smoking restrictions are coming to Saanich and the rest of Greater Victoria.

The new rules, approved by the Capital Regional District board, proposes to ban smoking in the region’s parks and playgrounds – that means no more legal lighting up at Gyro, Lambrick or Braefoot parks – and in hightraffic public spaces such as Bastion and Centennial squares downtown.

The revised clean air bylaw still needs provincial approval before it gets passed into law, a process that could take at least a couple of months.

Another area where smoking will be restricted throughout the region is bus stops, while smoking on beaches will still be permitted.

When CRD directors voted on the motion to expand the restrictions last week, only Victoria Coun. Geoff Young and Metchosin Mayor John Ranns were opposed. That showed a massive turnaround from the 12-11 defeat of a similar bylaw last May. Health officials argued tougher smoking restrictions have already decreased the percentage of smokers in the Capital Region, which various studies show is currently between 11 and 15 per cent of the population.

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association stated the changes are largely unenforceable and an infringement on the reasonable behaviour of smokers.

Once finalized, the clean air bylaw will also require smokers to light up seven metres away from any doorway, window or air intake. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Training day at busy pumpkin patch Children, adults and teachers from the Capital Region’s school districts gather at Galey Farms to pick out their favorite pumpkins as part of the operation’s preHalloween activities. Galey’s is a working family farm that produces fresh produce, but children and adults go crazy throughout the month of October, visiting the farm for its attractions. From hay and train rides to haunted houses, the site presents attractions for all ages.

Vaping replaces smoking for some Electronic smokers sidestep CRD’s new smoking bylaw

Health Canada to help someone quit smoking; the e-cigarette is not one of them.”

In Canada, nicotine falls under Health Canada jurisdiction and it is yet to be approved in e-cigarettes. In the United States and other countries e-cigarettes containing nicotine have been approved.

Even though e-cigarettes with nicotine aren’t approved for sale by Health Canada, Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, said many smokers use it a cessation device.

“It’s called e-juice and you can buy it for $56 a gallon on the Internet,” Stanwick explained. “Middle-aged people are using it as a transition to quitting and it’s proving very effective.”

For older people it can be a positive tool, he said. It can be more dangerous because younger people, who tend to use e-cigarettes with nicotine as a way to ingest the drug while avoiding some of the carcinogens.

“For younger people it can be used as a gateway to smoking,” Stanwick said. He advises those looking to quit traditional cigarettes use other forms of nicotine replacement therapy including gum, patches and inhalers. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

S

mokers are upgrading paper rolled tobacco for electronic cigarettes.

Nadine Brosseau, owner of Vapour Solutions, takes a puff of her shiny, red e-cigarette while comfortable in her Langford store and exhales a white cloud of vapour. Since swapping tobacco for the e-cigarette, Brosseau doesn’t have to go outside or stand more than three metres from a door to get her daily dose of nicotine.

She’s upgraded to “vaping” as opposed to smoking.

E-cigarettes are battery operated devices that use a refillable liquid cartridge. Patrons can purchase nicotine or non-nicotine juice and both are popular, said Brosseau.

Charla Huber “We do sell nicotine juice here, there is Reporting nothing bad in it. There is no heart and lung disease and it’s a better alternative to smoking,” Brosseau said. “There aren’t any health claims and this is not a health product.”

Health officials are still unsure of the product. Electronic cigarettes aren’t regulated by the province or Capital Regional District, and because nicotine is sold separately, e-cigs don’t fall “For younger under federal regulations, people it can be said Kim Bruce, regional manager for tobacco and used as a gateway to control with Island Health smoking.” (formerly VIHA).

“In Canada if these prod- – Dr. Richard Stanwick, Island Health ucts contain nicotine they are not authorized for sale,” she said.

E-cigarettes are still relatively new in Canada and Bruce is cautious, saying she’s unaware of any significant health studies available on the product.

“It’s an unknown area at this time,” Bruce explained.

“The problem is it’s taking off before the science is.”

Perhaps flavours are a part of the allure. E-juices come in an assortment of flavours including caramel cappuccino and banana cream pie. But even with 200 flavours, tobacco flavoured is the best seller at Vapour Solutions.

The e-juices contain propylene glycol, a substance

Sales brisk despite promo restrictions

Charla Huber/News staff

Nadine Brosseau, owner of Vapour Solutions, has a booming business even though Health Canada prevents her from advertising her business. She has recently opened a second location in Langford. often found in food colouring and medicines, and vegetable glycerin, that Brosseau said is found in potatoes and beets. Brosseau started smoking at the age of 15 and 20 years later used e-cigarettes to make the switch.

“These are for people who want to keep that terrible habit and just do it in a different way,” Brosseau said.

“People who don’t smoke want no involvement in them.”

Brosseau’s clientele come from all walks of life, with one thing in common, each has been a tobacco smoker.

“People who use e-cigarettes inhale unknown, unregulated and potentially harmful substances into their lungs,” said Dr. Theo Moraes, a medical spokesperson for the Canadian Lung Association in a press release. “There are many nicotine replacement therapies approved by

Nadine and Kevin Brosseau opened Vapour Solutions on Hillside Avenue in September 2012 and last month they opened a second location on Goldstream Avenue.

The business is unable to advertise due to Health Canada regulations but both stores are always busy, said Brosseau.

E-cigarettes have not been approved or given market authorization by Health Canada.

Health Canada’s most recent public release on e-cigarettes from 2009 states, “Health Canada is aware that some electronic smoking products have been advertised and sold in Canada without market authorization from Health Canada. Persons who may be importing, advertising or selling electronic smoking products without the appropriate authorizations are asked to stop doing so immediately.”

Even though e-cigarettes are not authorized for sale in Canada, they can be found in various outlets including gas stations and convenience stores.

Distributors are banding together through the Electronic Cigarette Trade Association, which is in the process of working with Health Canada to become a self-regulating group Brosseau said.

Continued from Page A1 While the number of fish counted each year fluctuates, Bos is cautiously optimistic this will be a good year, which would indicate a relatively healthy creek.

“Last year we had good (coho) returns in the Gorge, Portage Inlet, Craigflower (Creek) and Colquitz.

This year should be pretty well the same,” he said. “The reason we can say that is (because) we’ve seen a lot of coho out in the ocean area in Juan de Fuca and off of Victoria. We’re expecting a pretty good return.”

Since fall 2011, stewards have played a much more prominent role in monitoring the health of the creek, as multiple home heating oil spills and leaks have hit the Colquitz during salmon spawning season. While short-term impacts were felt in the form of some adult salmon turning up dead, there’s still no indication what the long-term impacts will be on the Colquitz’s health.

While those risk factors remain, work on the Craigflower and John-

son Street bridges create other possible hazards for marine species that inhabit area waters.

“Those projects could pose potential difficulties for the fish, but I know that both (projects) are being undertaken under the supervision of consultants and fish biologists,” Bos said. “Right now there are fish returning – there are potential dangers for them – but there’s nothing as bad as an oil spill going on at this stage.”

To check out the fish fence, walk along the trails in Cuthbert Holmes Park right behind Tillicum Centre.

It’s located alongside the pedestrian footbridge. kslavin@saanichnews.com

explained Greg Bunyan, chair of the Greater Victoria Public Library board. “This is a resource for the community that people can use essentially free, at least it feels free as a user. The library is one of the last truly open institutions.”

But the digital age is not without complications.

“For publishers it’s been a huge fee change in their industry. It’s a scary time, I think publishers are rightfully cautious to make the right decisions,” Hadziev said.

Some materials available in the hard copy collection are not digital, as some publishers won’t sell those versions to libraries, she said.

“Libraries are concerned because one of the core values is equal access. The idea behind public libraries is no matter who you are … you can come in, you’re welcome and you can have access to all the informational and creative wealth of your culture.

“There’s a real chance that there will be information that will only be available to people who can pay for it … We’re trying to find a solution that works for them and works for our users.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Video may have killed the radio star but digital seems to bolster literacy.

The Greater Victoria Regional Library system boasts the third highest circulation among Canadian urban libraries and growing. Statistics show the 10 GVPL branches saw 57,000 visits a week in 2011.

“Some of the traditional measurement guides are not necessarily the best to gauge how busy we are,” said CEO Maureen Sawa, adding that the Canadian Urban Library Council is developing a way to measure space use as opposed to circulation numbers. “That’s something that’s hard to capture.”

They do know that space is at a premium in the busiest branch – the Central downtown.

OUR VIEW

Invisibility cloaks can stay at home Unlike Harry Potter, who relished becoming invisible to other mortals by wearing a certain piece of clothing, visibility is critical for those of us who share the streets with vehicles, especially at this time of year.

Dark clothing is, and probably always will be, in style. That makes it Being highly visible fact even tougher for more important than drivers to spot crossing avoiding bad fashion people streets or riding along the edge of roadways without lights or flashers.

But visibility is a two-way street. Not only do drivers need to be constantly aware of the presence of other types of road users, those cyclists, runners, walkers, scooter users and skateboarders that drivers encounter also need to respect the fact they may not be easily seen.

We hear experts say when you meet up with a bear in the woods, a good idea is to make yourself seem “big.” In the case of road users not in vehicles, being “big” means being visible, enough so that no question arises about your actions or use of the shared space.

For non-drivers who may have an inflated sense of entitlement for their choice to use alternative transportation, including your feet, think about this: you’ll virtually always lose a head-to-head confrontation with a vehicle.

While the rules of the road are meant to be observed by all parties, there is no substitute for pedestrians and drivers making eye contact at a crosswalk, or, if riding your bike on a main thoroughfare, being aware that the light behind you just changed and traffic will soon be upon you.

Those are common safety practices good for any time of the year, but fall and winter are particularly tricky for visibility.

So why not get yourself a reflective vest, flashing reflector buttons or lights, or reflective cuff strips? Your life is worth more than any pain you might suffer from making a temporary bad fashion statement.

‘Social justice’ as indoctrination The BCTF has a quarterly “Social As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation Justice Newsletter” filled with executive moseys back to the predictable economic assumptions. bargaining table after a summer off, Readers of the latest I’m reminded of former issue are reminded at education minister George length that the United Abbott’s thoughts on his Nations takes a dim view time trying to establish a of Canada’s record on civil discussion with the human rights, including province’s most militant a right to housing. union.

Here’s some of what I’ve the tired, old NDP policy book.

Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.

A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team.

Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network).

It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint.

BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.

They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate.

Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

LETTERS Think of greater good when building sidewalks Re: Sidewalks strike a chord with residents (News, Sept. 20) The issue of sidewalk construction in Saanich reminds me of my involvement in the 2008 civic election, and being shown the need for sidewalk construction along Cadboro Bay Road by a rep of the community association.

The issue of sidewalk construction and the pattern of ‘broken tooth’ sidewalk construction in civic affairs is disconcerting to say the least. Such construction should be restricted to those streets with the highest traffic volume in all cases, to ensure the safety of the nearest local populace.

To appease those who are the loudest whiners or civic backers over public overall safety is reprehensible.

More sensible marijuana laws sought: Larsen Re: B.C. marijuana referendum misguided (B.C. Views, Oct. 9) Tom Fletcher’s recent editorial misrepresented the Sensible B.C. campaign, and could lead to confusion about our efforts for a marijuana referendum.

The ultimate aim of Sensible B.C. is to have B.C.’s marijuana industry regulated in a similar manner to wine.

Our proposed legislation, the Sensible Policing Act, is designed to bring us closer to that goal. The Sensible Policing Act has four components, all carefully designed to be within provincial jurisdiction.

The first aspect is to redirect police resources away from being wasted on simple possession of marijuana.

Last year, B.C. police made more than 16,500 arrests for marijuana possession,

draining $10.5 million in police and court time away from the investigation of other criminal offences. If Sensible B.C. is successful, tens of thousands of police and court hours would be freed up. This means safer communities for everyone, and less backlog in our courts.

Second, our legislation treats a minor in possession of marijuana exactly the same as if it were alcohol. This allows police to deal with a teenager smoking pot, but without the lifetime criminal record that can restrict travel and employment.

Third, the act calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that B.C. can regulate and tax it in a manner similar to wine and beer. This would send a powerful message of change to Ottawa, and give our prime minister the mandate to legalize.

Finally, our legislation creates a B.C. commission to create rules for implementing legalization. Like alcohol and tobacco, most of the regulation for legal marijuana would be determined at the provincial level.

B.C. cannot fully legalize marijuana without a change to federal law, but we can take some sensible steps in the right direction. That is what Sensible B.C. is all about.

Dana Larsen Sensible B.C. campaign

Fletcher on the mark with societal criticism Re: Science loses ground to superstition, (B.C. Views, Oct. 2.)

Tom Fletcher’s column hit on a subject that has bothered me for some time. It seems to me that we are getting a lot of media output that gives faux reality the same weighting as scientifically tested data.

We, the public, are still untrained in appreciating the truth ‘free-for-all’ that

the digital world has dumped on us and our educational system is not yet set up to notch up students’ BS meters. Thus we get public support for almost any conspiracy theory or economic myth, whether scientific or social.

Here on Vancouver Island, this means we see the repeated return of the “zombie” E&N passenger rail solution to the “Colwood Crawl” traffic congestion; the global warming “Chicken Little” performance; the suggestion that more health-care spending will solve our health-care issues; that everyone needs a university degree regardless of what it is; that science is usually wrong in the long run; that money obtained from another level of government is free; that “they” are the cause of all my problems; that we do not need to create wealth as the rest of the world will always send us whatever we need; that we do not really need oil to maintain our current lifestyle.

Fletcher has a deserved reputation for telling it how it is.

Keep it up.

Vision Matters Dr. Charles Simons

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

Eyesight and safe driving When we drive, we make most of our decisions on the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving.

Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes.

Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the Dr. Neil Paterson legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle. In many cases, solution may be as Dr.theSuzanne Sutter simple as, new prescription lenses.

Glare is a commonOptometrists problem to most drivers when the100 sun-2067 is low Cadboro in the skyBay ahead Rd.and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of www.oakbayoptometry.com glare may be cataracts, which can develop as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you Rachel about tinted lenses to Dr. reduce glare Rushforth* and continue to www.admiralsvision.ca counsel you as the cataracts develop. *Denotes Optometric Corporation Regular eye examinations determine if your vision is good enough for safe driving.

Sharing Greater Victoria. coupons, which “This has been one allow food banks to of the toughest years buy fresh produce I’ve experienced in for distribution, my 30-year career,” are available at said food bank participating grocery director Brent Palmer, outlets around the who oversees food Capital Region. distribution to 7,000 Customers can people every month. add $2 onto their A successful food grocery bill at the till drive organized by the for their donation.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave the Mustard Seed some reprieve for September, but summer donations were down for a second consecutive year, Palmer said.

Cash is actually preferable to food donations, as organizers make the dollars stretch further by buying in bulk, so Palmer hopes newly designed Food Bank B.C. coupons at local grocery stores will help bring in more cash donations as well.

“The money shoppers donate is ‘banked’ at the stores to allow food banks to purchase fresh food for our hampers,” he said.

Palmer anticipates raising 200,000 pounds of food for this year’s food fight to knock off last year’s winner, the Regina Food Bank. Online donations are also accepted and for every $2.50, one pound of food is added to the total.

Palmer extended his thanks to the community for their continued support. “With the support of compassionate, generous people, the Mustard Seed can meet this goal.”

Camilo’s magic in the air CHArlA HuBEr

charla@goldstreamgazette.com

G

ive Camilo Dominguez some cards and prepare to be mesmorized.

The young 23-yearmagician began honing his craft at the ripe young age of four when he was growing up in Colombia.

Dominguez is performing his close-up magic at the McPherson Playhouse, Oct. 18 and 19.

Projectors will be set up with large screens so the audience can get a good look at his tricks.

“I told my mother I wanted to be a magician and she looked one up in the phonebook to teach me,” he said, adding the

first card trick he learned involved four aces.

hen Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Guide to the Near Post-Apocalyptic Future hits the stage the University of Victoria this week, it will be as refined as is physically possible.

The SNAFU-produced show was part of SPARK Festival two years ago and the Vancouver Fringe last month.

“We’ve been workshopping it a lot since then,” says director Kathleen Greenfield.

Kitt & Jane is a highlight on this year’s Spotlight on Alumni that runs Oct. 17 to 26.

It’s a collaborative effort of UVic Theatre alumni Greenfield (BFA ‘05) and Ingrid Hansen (BFA’09) with Rod Peter Jr. As much as 40 to 60 per cent of it has changed Greenfield says, noting all three involved – Hansen and Peter who perform as Kitt & Jane – work collaboratively.

“When we start a project it’s never really finished, we’ve even made some changes since Vancouver,” Greenfield says. “As soon as you perform it for a group of people it changes. You learn what works and what doesn’t quite quickly.”

The story focusses on two socially awkward 14-year-olds who hijack their high school presentation and launch into fantastical instructions on how to survive the impending apocalypse told through playful music, fantastical lighting, shadow and found-object puppetry and naturally, humour.

award-winning Little Orange Man. They chose to revisit the Kitt character that Greenfield and Hansen created.

“We were having a lot of conversations about how scary it must be to be a youth today,” she says, explaining how issues like global warming were considered conspiracy theories when they were 14.

“Now they’re very real.”

“We wanted to talk to youth about those and encourage that they had a voice to speak,” she adds. “There’s a lot of references to youth movements all over the world that have changed their world for the better.”

But that doesn’t limit the audience, she says.

“We’re like PIXAR in that youth and adults get different messages from it,” she says. “(Phoenix) is a great place to meld those audiences.”

Kitt & Jane is the first of four award-winning plays in the Phoenix Theatre’s 2013/14 season.

Named the Best New Play in 2012 by Victoria’s Critics’ Choice Spotlight Award. SNAFU’s plays have won several awards including Best Fringe “M” Award and many Best-of and Pick-of-the-Fringe AL SMITH PHOTO Ingrid Hansen and Rod Peter Jr. (both creators and performers) will regale awards for Little Orange Man (2011-13).

Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Guide to the Near Postaudiences with helpful insight in Kitt & Jane An Interactive Guide to the Apocalyptic Future runs Oct. 17 to 26 at the Phoenix Near Post-Apocalyptic Future at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre.

Theatre, with a public preview and talk-back performance slated for tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets range from “They teach their fellow students how to survive,” $7 for the preview, to $24, with discounts for students and Greenfield says. The idea was born of another Kitt project, the seniors. Visit phoenixtheatres.ca or call 250-721-8000.

She met Kirsten Barnes, Brenda Taylor and Jessica MonroeGonin in the national program in 1988. By 1990 they were rowing together in the coxless fours and eights teams with Walinga in the stroke position for both. In 1991 both crews won gold at the World Rowing Championships in Vienna.

The fours set a world record that remained unbroken for 20 years.

Kay Worthington replaced her for the Olympics and Walinga watched from the sidelines as her team dominated both events.

“I knew they were going to be fine. I was worried I would let them down,” she said.

“I did worry I would be jealous if they won, but I wasn’t.”

Instead, her teammate handed her one of the two gold medals she had been awarded.

Walinga declined, but Taylor wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“At the Olympics for curling or basketball, everyone on the team gets a medal, but not for rowing. Only the people in the boat get one,” Walinga said, wiping tears from her eyes. sports@vicnews.com

Volunteers honoured for service Victoria Rotary Club hands out awards to help mark 100th anniversary Don Descoteau News staff

Club members are more likely to receive recognition for demonstrating Rotary’s motto of “service before self.”

But three members of the greater community who have offered service to their communities above and beyond the norm received gold lapel pins last week as winners of the Victoria Rotary Club’s prestigious Paul Harris Awards.

“This recognition continues to be a respected honour for Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike,” club president Murray Ramsbottom said before honourees Gordie Dodd, Paul LeTour and Betty Kennedy received their awards.

Dodd, owner of Dodd’s Furni-

ture, has for years has organized charity dinners for hundreds at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

He has also been involved in food and clothing drives here and donated time and money to organizations in his native India.

He relayed his inspiration to give came when he met an old man on a train in India who was handing out cards which read, “The most graceful of all the virtues is to develop the habit of giving something everyday as per your ability … “ “Give whatever you can, every day, however small,” Dodd said.

LeTour’s HeroWork organization’s “extreme community events” were compared by his presenter to “an old-fashioned barn raising,” for the way they harness the power of volunteers to create charitable good deeds for families or groups.

Having overseen a major renovation at the Mustard Seed on Queens Street earlier this summer, he dedicated his Harris award to “courage,” that of the employees and clients of the Mustard Seed, the 300 volun-

UFC date finally here for Kaufman Sarah Kaufman embarks on UFC title campaign Travis Paterson News staff

Lunchtime workout sessions have ended and a group of men trickle out of Zuma Ultimate Martial Arts in Vic West. They laugh about the super high intensity training they’ve been put through by their mixed martial arts instructor Sarah Kaufman. But their faces don’t lie, as they wear a look that screams post-workout exhaustion.

Each thanks Kaufman for the class as they exit, and Kaufman returns the thanks in kind.

By day, Kaufman, the former Strikeforce MMA world champion, runs classes for adults and kids alike. She fits in hours of daily training for herself too, nothing new for the 28-year-old, Victoria’s highest profile MMA athlete. But it’s been a while, and on Saturday (Oct. 19) Kaufman returns to the limelight in her UFC debut at UFC 166 in Houston, Tx. against fellow UFC rookie Jessica Eye (10-1).

For a fighter who is not far removed from the distinction of former title holder, the UFC has taken its sweet time to put

Travis Paterson/News staff

MMA athlete Sarah Kaufman (12-2) of Victoria in the cage at Zuma Ultimate Martial Arts. Kaufman makes her UFC debut against Jessica Eye (10-1) at UFC 166 in Houston, Oct. 16.

Kaufman back in the cage. She’s even slotted at No. 2 on the UFC rankings in its women’s bantamweight (126 to 135 lbs.) division, probably one spot below where

she should be, considering she’s beaten the division’s most proven fighter except for standing title holder Ronda Rousey.

“They have used me for a num-

ber of promotional events but yes, I’d like to get another fight in this winter at the latest,” she said.

UFC company Zuffa purchased Strikeforce in 2011 and has

since officially absorbed, and relaunched, the women’s bantamweight division. Kaufman, the good kid, isn’t afraid to speak her mind but has so far escaped the common UFC branding as a mouth with a fighter attached to it. There’s still time for that though.

A win this weekend will put Kaufman into serious contention though it’s clear there is a final resolution coming between the Miesha Tate and Rousey rivalry, currently being played up on the reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.

“You never know with how they edit that show what’s really being said between them. Or when they’re going to fight, which seems due,” Kaufman said.

Though Kaufman hasn’t fought in the UFC she’s enjoyed being part of it. She was flown out earlier this year to UFC events in Calgary and Winnipeg, and to Toronto for the launch of Sportsnet 360.

“UFC is really well organized and your schedule is all laid out for the week you’re there to fight,” she said.

“The good thing about Houston is I don’t know much about it so I don’t expect it to be a distraction, which some cities can be when you’re there to fight,” Kaufman said. sports@vicnews.com

Phantom twins take opposite roles on ice Sisters split to goalie and forward as youth Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

New hockey parents can have difficulties sorting out which kid is which on the ice.

Melinda straps on thick goaltender pads to protect the net, while Alisha batters opposing netminders notching goal after goal.

They play for the Island Pacific Hockey Association’s Senior A team, the Phantoms.

Last season Alisha was the South Coast league’s top scorer with 22 goals and 13 assists.

“Alisha’s the biggest game breaker. If we’re down a goal or need a goal ... she’s the one that will step up and do it,” coach John Lou-Poy said. “Her style of game is a power forward.”

Dalton Hotel to be converted into rental suites Building on Yates Street dates back to 1890

TWO WAYS TO MAKE ONE POWERFUL STATEMENT.

Daniel Palmer News staff

Guests at B.C.’s oldest continuously operating hotel have moved on.

The Dalton Hotel at 759 Yates St. has been sold to a group of investors and renovation work is expected to begin soon on a plan that would see 81 bachelor and 12 one-bedroom units created, said Jordan Milne, president of GMC Projects.

“We’re in the process of determining the extent of what we want to do,” he said.

A permit will likely be required to replace the existing storefront entrance to the lobby and to expose original brick columns on the main floor, Milne added.

Retail tenants, including a liquor store and two restaurants, all operating on the main floor of the building, are expected to stay open during the renovations.

A hotel has been located on the site since 1862, while the current three-storey masonry structure was built in 1890. dpalmer@vicnews.com
