Tourism cornerstone stumbles forward Two-part series: Not all municipalities willing to pay for Victoria-based tourist marketing Danielle Pope News staff

Talk to any district on the Island and

you’ll hear pride swell as mayors and residents boast about their city’s prized attractions.

Oak Bay shines for its star park at Cattle Point, Langford puffs out its chest about hosting Rugby Canada, Colwood salutes its historic virtues of Fort Rodd Hill, while Sooke bows to its glorious natural reserves and Saanich brags about its Uptown shopping mecca.

And, of course, Victoria smooths back its regal mane to draw a postcard-perfect

picture of everything touristy in the capital city.

Tourism remains one of the largest industries of the South Island region, yet a heated debate has trailed the 13 municipalities that rely on a tourist economy to host worldclass exhibits – who pays to ensure tourists turn their heads?

Although Tourism Victoria catapults its power around the globe, not everyone thinks aligning with the group is beneficial.

“Tourism Victoria is a membership-based

organization, and our approach to tourism is to market the destination in a holistic manner,” said Tourism Victoria board chair Dave Cowen.

“We promote the Craigdarroch Castle, Butchart Gardens, the Fisgard Lighthouse, and all of those places take visitors around the area and away from the downtown core.”

Tofino, Ucluelet take on the tour Strong RCMP contingent from rugged west coast Susan Quinn Black Press

For the first time in the history of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, both Ucluelet and Tofino are represented by riders from their respective RCMP detachments.

Chris Squire, a constable in Ucluelet, started thinking about joining the ride when he spoke with several riders during a stop last year in his community. Ucluelet RCMP Sgt. Jeff Swann, while not a past rider, is a staunch supporter of the Tour de Rock, and he urged Squire to put his name in for a spot on the team.

“Jeff is a big supporter of the Tour de Rock,” Squire says. “He’s got four little kids and they all shave their heads every year. He talked me into it.

It’s a good cause.”

Squire has already raised close to $10,000 for the Tour de Rock, double his original goal.

Squire lost his grandmother to cancer, but says he hasn’t had much personal experience with the disease – unlike Tofino Cpl. Andrew Waddell, who along with his wife Vicki and son Justin, have all been diagnosed with cancer in the past few years.

Squire’s junior rider this year is Brett Wasylyniuk of Port Alberni, who has been treated for rhabdomyosarcoma, or a cancer of the muscles that attach to bone.

Tofino rider Waddell’s journey with cancer has been a long one. The 27-year RCMP veteran was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1997; he had surgery to remove what could be removed, and radiation to try and hit the rest. He still lives with the tumour but says it’s stable.

Vicki has had melanoma, or early skin cancer removed, as well as some basal cell carcinomas.

Justin was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only two years old. He went through three years of chemotherapy between ages two and five. Justin is now 15 and loves to surf.

Photos contributed

(Above) Ucluelet RCMP Const. Chris Squire and (right) Tofino RCMP Cpl. Andrew Waddell are from small detachments, but have taken on the big commitment of Tour de Rock.

Waddell said the time is right for him to participate in the Tour de Rock. “The reason I’ve come up with is because I can. I have a family that supports me. We benefited from others and now it’s my turn, so families that can’t get out and fundraise can get out there and benefit.”

Waddell’s junior rider is James Albrecht, also from Port Alberni, and also being treated for rhabdomyosarcoma. Waddell met James at the end of July, and says he’s an amazing young man.

“It’s pretty astounding to see a young person in week 10 of 55-week chemotherapy bounding around the house like he is,” Waddell says.

“There’s guys like James that are living because money from cancer research is keeping them alive.”

Because Squire and Waddell both work in small

detachments and work opposite shifts, they haven’t done much riding together outside of mandatory Tour de Rock rides with the northern team. Squire, a reformed mountain bike rider, does a lot of solo rides on his road bike, but says he prefers to ride with a group.

Waddell is known as Tofino’s “bike cop,” so he is no stranger to cycling.

Waddell cycles 175 kilometres per week between Tofino and Ucluelet for his tour training.

“I go up Radar Hill every time I go by it at the turnoff (to Highway 4),” he says.

Of course, powering up Radar Hill is nothing compared to what children with cancer suffer through, Waddell says.

And that’s why he decided to tackle the Tour de Rock this year.

Island protection campaign a success

Local harbours under scrutiny

Songhees say patrol of Chatham and Discovery Islands is paying off

IN BRIEF

The Capital Regional District wants your say on local harbours.

As part of its Harbours Environmental Action program, the CRD is developing water quality guidelines for the five core harbour areas: Victoria harbour, Gorge waterway, Portage Inlet, Esquimalt Lagoon and Esquimalt harbour.

A survey has been developed to seek input on how people throughout the region use the harbours, what they value and any feedback they have.

The survey is available online at crd.bc.ca/ harboursurvey until Sept.

20. Paper copies of the survey are also available at the CRD office at 625 Fisgard St. After the results are collated this fall, there will be public open house sessions or workshops where the survey results will be presented and next steps explored.

Uptown plaza celebrates one year Uptown celebrates its birthday on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with country singer Beth Marie Anderson, a video game theatre, foam machine and a giant interactive board game, among other spectacles.

Danielle Pope News staff

A year after the Songhees First Nation started its campaign to protect their chunk of Chatham and Discovery islands, the work has paid off.

Though Chatham, and a large portion of Discovery, are protected Indian Reserve land, the private islands are some of the most frequently trespassed, with wandering explorers camping and often littering on the land. Last summer, through taxation, the Songhees funded a zodiac to patrol waters with help from a designated bylaw officer and the RCMP. A year later, Songhees Chief Ron Sam says the efforts are making a difference.

“It’s been a pretty quiet year so far, one of the quietest ones we’ve ever had, I’d say,” said Sam. The patrols were initially aimed at education to combat the amount of garbage left on the islands by trespassers which, last summer, included a wheelchair. By April, however, the nation had instituted surveillance technology and a mandate to “aggressively patrol” the islands with the RCMP South Island Marine Section by boat and on foot. People caught trespassing will now face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both.

“The traffic has really died down this year. We aren’t seeing the kind of garbage we did before, and we do still have our volunteers going out and making sure things continue to be cleaned out,” said Sam. While boaters can use the provincial park part of Discovery Island (which includes campsites, picnic tables and washrooms), campfires are not permitted on any part of the island. The area is accessible just north of the Oak Bay Marina, where paddlers can launch from Cattle Point. Thanks to the campaign, new signage also clarifies the lands as protected and private.

Still, the island has been a dumping ground for garbage, campfires, vandalism and even raves in the past, which some years attracted up to 200 people, bands and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol to the small island. Sam says word in the media and the community has helped people understand the reality of the protected lands.

“It’s everything – the campaign, the

Songhees Nation Chief Ron Sam stands in front of new signage at Cattle Point which notifies visitors that Chatham Island and a portion of Discovery Island are protected reserve land. The Songhees started an aggressive educational campaign last year to curb damage caused by trespassers who would illegally camp on the islands.

“It’s everything – the campaign, the surveillance, the bylaw officer – people are starting to listen, and understand that we are serious about this.”

surveillance, the bylaw officer – people are starting to listen, and understand that we are serious about this,” he said.

While the Songhees have not yet decided what to do with the lands, which were abandoned by

Songhees families who moved away after the well went dry in 1957, Sam says restoration efforts will be up to the nation as a group.

Portions of the islands have since deteriorated and some common species have disappeared, though Sam says there are a few proposals on the table.

“If there is still the traffic out there like we have seen, perhaps we look at creating a permit camping system were users would pay a registration fee,” said Sam. “This would fall into ecotourism, which wraps into the island nicely, but it will be something we need to decide as a group.” news@mondaymag.com

Tourism Victoria brings together diverse groups Continued from Page A1

Victoria has had some form of tourism bureau since 1901, but Tourism Victoria in its current form has been around for almost 40 years. The notfor-profit is funded through membership fees, grants from Victoria and Saanich (at $47,000 and $36,000) and a special hotel tax from the two communities that bring in about $2 million annually. The Visitor Services portion of the organization also receives a provincial grant, giving Tourism Victoria an operating budget of $4.2 million.

Though it sounds like a lot of money, the organization creates more than glossy brochures — it markets the region around the world and facilitates partnerships with places as far as Europe and Asia.

“We are of the opinion that a strong tourist industry, that might appear to be centered in Victoria, is helpful to all the municipalities, and we think we have a responsibility to work together here,” said District of Saanich Coun. Susan Brice, chair of the finance committee.

“Pooling our money with all the communities is the only way to focus our efforts effectively.”

Sharon Tiffin/News Staff

A couple visiting Victoria from Vancouver look over a map of the downtown during a stop at the B.C. legislature.

The City of Victoria, District of Saanich, District of Oak Bay, Township of Esquimalt, Town of Sidney and Town of View Royal believe the cost is well worth the gains. But while the City of Langford also holds membership, the area mines a different philosophy – and collects a hotel tax which it does not contribute to Tourism Victoria.

“There is no real benefit for

us, from our point of view,” said Langford Mayor Stew Young.

“Victoria’s focus is tourism, and they’re great at doing what they do down there, but we don’t have those kind of hotels and touristy things here. Our focus is on sports tourism, and making this the best possible community for the residents who already live here.”

Young said Langford’s hotel tax, which largely comes from pro sports teams and conferences that make their way to the Bear Mountain Arena, directly funds the Langford Sport Authority which markets the home of Rugby Canada and all the district’s sporting potential.

Funds also support communityimprovement projects and economic developments.

“Why would we give Victoria our money and then try to tell them to spend it on us?” said Young. “It’s not like Victoria is telling tourists ‘Go to Langford.’” news@mondaymag.com Next issue: the City of Victoria weighs in on the fairness of divided municipal support while Sooke shows concern for a lack of representation.

A seat in the B.C. legislature doesn't come cheap.

Financial disclosures published this week by Elections B.C. reveal exactly how much each candidate squeezed out of voters and their respective party in an attempt to be christened as one of 85 provincial MLAs. Nowhere was the electoral spending spree more pronounced than in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where the three major candidates collectively spent nearly $318,000 to woo voters.

The B.C. Greens comfortably secured a win with environmental scientist Andrew Weaver, who spent $110,180 to help secure 40 per cent of the vote.

"Momentum just built," Weaver said. "We ended up raising $1,000 a day from people walking into the campaign office and writing cheques (in the final days), which allowed us to undertake TV advertisements."

The disclosures include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period, limited to a combined total of $140,000 per candidate.

The vast majority of Weaver's contributions came from "regular people," he said, and not from trade union or corporate donations relied upon by the B.C. Liberals and B.C. NDP. "People wanted change. It was overwhelming to see that kind of support and you saw that in the voter turnout of 71 per cent," he said.

In Victoria-Beacon Hill, incumbent MLA Carole James spent $85,000 ensuring she extended her eight-year run in the legislature. James eclipsed

The successful candidate will be required to operate various heavy equipment, undertake the construction, maintenance and repair of municipal water/sewer infrastructure and associated works, serve the public in a courteous manner, establish and maintain good working relationships with his/her supervisor, other employees, and the general public. The candidate must be physically fit and be able to work outside in all weather conditions.

her closest rival, Green Party leader Jane Sterk, who doled out $36,000 for the campaign and failed to penetrate James' 50-per-cent support base.

Karen Bill, the riding's B.C. Liberal candidate and former executive assistant to Ida Chong, affirmed her role as a seat-filler with the roughly $26,000 shelled out for her campaign.

Apart from a $300 donation from former Liberal MP David Anderson and $200 from other donors, Bill's funding came entirely from B.C. Liberal coffers and from Chong.

The B.C. NDP didn't take any chances with other safe seats in the Capital Region, either.

In Victoria-Swan Lake, NDP education critic Rob Fleming spent nearly $27,000 more than the Liberals' Christina Bates, while Maurine Karagianis (NDP) ensured her 48 per cent victory by outspending Liberal rival Chris Ricketts by $28,000 in Esquimalt-Royal Roads.

Saanich South MLA Lana Popham broke the $100,000 mark in defeating B.C. Liberal challenger Rishi Sharma, while Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts topped Capital Region campaign spending at $115,169 and still lost by 163 votes to the NDP's Gary Holman in Saanich North and the Islands.

Provincewide, the B.C. Liberals spent $11.75 million on their way to a come-from-behind victory, outspending the B.C. NDP's $9.4 million.

Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.

NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations.

The Green Party of B.C. spent just $180,000, while the B.C. Conservative Party listed $155,000 in expenses. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Tourism should showcase region “Who will help me plant the seed?” asks The Little Red Hen in the old Russian folk tale.

As she plants the seed, mills the wheat and bakes the bread, she asks her fellow farm dwellers, “Who will lend a hand?”

“Not I,” comes the reply – until it’s time to eat.

Not I, seems to be the attitude of several Greater Victoria municipalities when it comes to paying their share of Tourism Victoria’s marketing budget.

Sure, they’ll take the spin-off from the $2-million or so spent on luring tourists to the city, but participate in the funding: “Not I.” Langford Mayor Stew Young likely speaks for many of the outlying municipalities when he says they would see no benefit from sharing the wealth.

A quick trip to Tourism Victoria’s website seems to prove him right. Other than the obligatory nod to landmark Butchart Gardens, which pays on its own to be a member of the organization, while Central Saanich, the municipality in which it sits does not, it takes a bit of hunting to find the mere mention of Langford, Sidney or Sooke.

It’s arguable that many people who come to Victoria never venture outside the city limits and many that do, hop on a bus to Butchart Gardens and return to town without a chance to visit a Saanich Peninsula winery or farm stand, let alone cycle along the Galloping Goose or swim in the Sooke Potholes.

Greater Victoria’s tourism strategy is a bad one. As it stands, it’s yet another fine example of how 13 separate fiefdoms stand in the way of enhancing the whole.

Those who only preview our area through Tourism Victoria’s eyes will see a place too small to keep their interest for more than a few days. They may never know they can surf in Sooke, go to a national historic site at Fort Rodd Hill or visit an aquarium in Sidney.

The moral of The Little Red Hen teaches us if we don’t put in the work, we shouldn’t reap the reward.

The region needs to come up with a strategy to increase tourism across Greater Victoria. Having a unified strategy for marketing the entire Capital Region is a necessity if we really want to attract tourists who stay and take in all we have to offer.

BC Hydro is already mired in debt. Currently over $15 billion, its arrears have nearly doubled since 2010, when the provincial government decided to move forward with Site C, and is expected to rise to $18.85 billion by 2015. As a result, the dividends BC Hydro pays to the province will be cut almost in half.

Site C is currently undergoing an environmental assessment, an essential part of responsible development. However, while an environmental assessment examines projects for their potentially adverse environmental, social, heritage and health effects, the BCUC would assess such specific factors as load growth forecasting, energy pricing policies and resource plans.

As a Crown corporation, BC Hydro’s debt is borne by ratepayers. In light of the utility’s maxed-out debt-equity ratio, the massive capital costs it faces to upgrade aging infrastructure, recent requests to increase rates and strong indications that its current business practices are unsustainable, BCUC oversight is needed to ensure that Site C receives the kind of robust review necessary to protect ratepayers from being on the hook for an $8-billion mistake.

Finally, something we can all agree on.

Sewage plan needs review Why is the Capital Regional District so resistant to having the regional sewage plan reviewed?

CRD taxpayers have shelled out millions of tax dollars to date. It would be an appropriate and cost-saving benefit to make sure the plan is up to scrutiny. Better safe than sorry.

Is the CRD staff concerned that serious flaws would be discovered? Is it afraid that this would reveal that the entire plan – and process – are flawed?

Olympics shouldn’t be about being gay Why are countries spending millions of dollars to host the Olympic Games?

I thought it was to show how good “our athletes” are. Why do we need to know some are gay? Are there heterosexuals in the Olympics?

People will lose interest fast, if this is going to be on the agenda from now on. If so, get rid of the Olympics.

Transit, shared private lots could solve parking woes Re: Parking dilemma (vicnews.com) I often drive downtown and as for the parking, if I choose to drive I am aware I will need to pay for parking on a weekday during day hours, so it is a choice.

What the city could do better is repaint the curbs on the streets so it is clear what is a parking area and what is not. I received a ticket in an area like this and won my dispute.

The other thing is why not share parking spaces? Many business have 24-hour reserved parking and I see this is necessary during business hours but what about nights and weekends? These lots could be used as a better use of space while working together as a community.

The real reason I prefer not to drive in downtown Victoria is the overall traffic congestion, poor drivers, streets that are narrow and then add bike lanes, lanes closed on streets because of construction and many other reasons.

It is easier to support B.C. Transit and take the bus and it is often safer.

In general, Greater Victoria has major traffic problems throughout the entire area which

are not addressed. Our current roads cannot continue to accommodate the increased number of cars on them.

Putting islands that look “pretty” with trees and flowers in the centre of the roads, such as on Esquimalt Road and Craigflower Road, and hoping people will slow down is not the answer.

Restrict street closures near Craigflower to evenings When the Craigflower Bridge was closed, the traffic had to go somewhere and much of it went onto Tillicum Road.

This would have been tolerable if the construction project on the corner of Tillicum and Burnside had not closed the curb lane on both streets.

So for the past two years residents of Tillicum have been subjected to air and noise pollution that never previously existed.

In addition, drivers have suffered from traffic lineups that resemble the Colwood crawl.

Those of us who live on Tillicum sometimes wait ten minutes just to get onto the street, and another 10 minutes to reach the traffic lights and clear the mess.

Now, the municipality of Saanich proposes to repeat this chaos at the corner of Tillicum and the Trans-Canada Highway with construction of a medical building. It should be made clear to the builders that no lane closures should be allowed during this project except at night.

The Victoria Police Department is asking for the public’s help in solving a bizarre incident that left a cyclist with serious injuries.

On Aug. 9 around 4:40 a.m., Sterling Eyford, 34, was headed to work on Kings Road near Prior Street when his bike hit a piece of electrical tape that had been strung across the street.

Eyford broke his jaw and teeth and hyper-extended his neck in the collision.

Police are still uncertain if the incident was intended to harm people or an attempted prank gone wrong.

“Investigators are continuing to look to speak to witnesses and need anyone with any information to come forward,” said VicPD spokesman Bowen Osoko.

Police are specifically looking for witnesses who may have seen odd behaviour in the area between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Aug. 9.

Witnesses are asked to call the non-emergency line at 250-995-7654 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. dpalmer@vicnews.com

STOMP weekend

DANIEL PALMER dpalmer@vicnews.com

A

fter a sold-out run of Mamma Mia last summer, Broadway is back in Victoria.

STOMP kicks off its North American tour at the Royal Theatre this week, the result of a lot of hard work from Victoria-raised artistic producer Henry Kolenko.

“It’s quite challenging to bring shows to Victoria, not just because it’s an island but because the venue is booked almost the whole year through,” says Kolenko.

“It took me a few years to bring a show here.”

Instead of jousting with the Victoria Symphony, Opera and various dance companies for a fall season spot at the Royal Theatre, Kolenko decided to throw caution to the wind and book the theatre in the summer months last season. It proved such a success, he’s doing it again.

“I wanted to do it with a show that had a lot of drawing power, and Mamma Mia was just off the charts last year,” he says. “We sold out, and we broke Royal Theatre history of most tickets sold in a day.”

To boost excitement, organizers are planning a similar preview in Langford, albeit on a slightly bigger scale.

“We’ve talked to the mayor of Langford, Stew Young, and he’s actually shutting down downtown,” Kolenko says.

On Monday, Goldstream Avenue will close at 6 p.m. so the whole cast can perform street shows for the passing crowd.

“Every show is its own unique entity and needs to be brought into the community with respect,” Kolenko says. “And the community of Victoria is a very sophisticated community. The people that want to go see theatre have travelled a lot and have seen theatre all over, so we’re very selective in how we bring a show in and

SOLID HANDSCRAPED MAPLE $4.99/SF

IT UP

how we marry it to the community.”

Because STOMP uses a unique combination of choreography, percussion and physical comedy, there’s no language barrier, which has helped the show expand to more than 50 countries and 25 million people, Kolenko says.

“It’s done in a way that’s very accessible. People come out of it and say, ‘I didn’t know it would be so funny.’”

Kolenko attended Mount Douglas secondary before ending up on Broadway in New York for several years. When he came back to the West Coast, he wanted to bring some of the entertainment he’d

seen to a local audience.

“Victoria was one of the last big markets in Canada that didn’t have broadway shows coming in regularly,” he says.

Kolenko promises STOMP will be worth the $79.50 to $89.75 ticket price, and is hopeful Broadway fever will sweep Greater Victoria once again.

“The show is selling extremely well but there are still tickets,” he says.

STOMP originally premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1991, and made its way to Broadway in New York City by 1994. The show is still running in London’s West End and has an off-Broadway show in Manhattan.

The show opens Tuesday, Aug. 27 and runs until Sunday, Sept. 1.

Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. ★★★ THE CONJURING -(Caprice) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a clever haunted house chiller about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in over their heads when they confront a powerful entity.

An old-school spookfest, into atmosphere more than splatter.

★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(SilverCity/Westshore) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ ELYSIUM -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4/SilverCity) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★½ JOBS -(Empire 6/Empire Uni 4) Ashton Kutcher does a fine acting job in this superficial but highly entertaining portrait of Steve Jobs, the college dropout who started a computer revolution that transformed the world. ★½ KICK-ASS 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) Although the original movie, with its tale of outsider teens inspired by comic books into becoming vigilante heroes, had a transgressive charm, the sequel is a bloodyminded mess. Although co-star Jim Carrey made the news for unexpectedly denouncing the movie’s brutal violence, he should also have lambasted it for criminal stupidity and general soullessness. Avoid. ★★½ LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4/SilverCity) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a true story about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with

Costarring Alan Rickman, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, and Oprah Winfrey. Although a bit ponderous and unimaginative, this is still a fine history lesson.

Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Roxy, 9:00) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem to be robbing banks . . . while simultaneously performing for a casino audience. Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★★½ PACIFIC RIM -(SilverCity/Caprice) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformers-ish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.”

This is a skilfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old. ★★ PARANOIA -(Empire 6/ SilverCity) Lethal corporate espionage drives the action in this slick but vapid thriller starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, and Australian hunk-dujour Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games).

With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★★½ THE WAY WAY BACK -(Odeon) A hit at Sundance, this is a funny and touching comingof-age story about a 14-year-old boy who feels ignored by his mother and pushed around by her overbearing boyfriend (Steve Carell). Also starring Allison Janney, Toni Collette and Sam Rockwell. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(SilverCity/ Caprice) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements.

Directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma).

ustralian blues-rock musician Ash Grunwald is returning to Victoria as part of a 12-stop tour through B.C. The surfer usually swings through during the winter for heli-snowboarding sessions in the interior but has opted for a warmer view of the province this time around.

Grunwald is playing the Cambie (856 Esquimalt Rd.) in Esquimalt on Wednesday, Aug. 28, the ninth of 12 shows.

The Cambie is a smaller venue than those he typically plays in his native Australia, where his music has had brushes with fame. The original version of his song Breakout was included in a movie trailer for Moneyball, which has been viewed nearly four million times on YouTube.

He also collaborated with members of Aussie punk band The Living End for a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, which was an unexpected hit in Australia.

Down under, Grunwald is a known environmentalist. But here, his priority is to connect with fans as a musician, which is tough for an indie rocker who lives on the other side of the world. And if he can connect with his message about the environment too, all the better, especially the need to stop the wasteful mining of coal, gas and other fossil fuels.

“It’s not even controversial anymore,” Grunwald said. “Global warming is an accepted fact and no one is debating that the use of fossil fuels is the cause.”

Grunwald is currently pushing his single, The Last Stand, a statement against mining in central Australia, which Canadians should be able to relate to, he said.

“We call it the Gaslands in central Australia: a heavy housing commune residence that’s getting poisoned by a multi-national company which is selling the gas to China. It provides very little jobs for Australia and the ramifications will last for thousands of years. In terms of pollution, it’s not unlike the fracking that goes on here (in Canada).”

During this year’s performances in Australia and England, Grunwald has been taking a few minutes to energize the crowd about environmental responsibility when he sings The Last Stand.

The soulful, award-winning rocker has toured B.C. before and is making his return, this time with his family, toddler and infant in tow.

“We’re trying to treat the non-gig parts as holiday time,” Gunwold said. “But it’ll still be a whirlwind, just not the whirlwind it is when I’m by myself.”

Tickets are available at the Cambie.

Our best at the Games Travis Paterson News staff

Greater Victoria athletes returning from the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que., this week are importing some precious metals.

The Games ran Aug. 2 to 17, and brought together approximately 4,500 athletes in 20 disciplines.

Among the brightest lights for B.C. was Adam Keenan, who added a Canada Games record and gold medal to his growing medal haul. Keenan, a hammer thrower who graduated from Lambrick Park secondary two years ago, set a new Games record of 65.96 metres, seven metres more than the next thrower.

It broke Dylan Armstrong’s 2001 Canada Games record.

“I wasn’t aware that I broke Dylan Armstrong’s record,” Keenan said. “I’m told this is the second one I’ve taken from Dylan. I have major respect for his accomplishments so I’m really happy.”

Keenan, 19, is part of Canada’s future international throwing team and trains in Kamloops with Armstrong, now a shot put specialist, under head coach Dr. Anatoliy Bodnarchuk.

A pair of Saanich Commonwealth Place regulars, diver Courtney Hattie and swimmer Jon McKay, each picked up a trio of medals.

Hattie, of Boardworks Diving club, won gold in the three-metre springboard, bronze in the one-metre springboard event and bronze in the synchronized three-metre event with teammate Madeline Wainman of Coquitlam. McKay, of Pacific Coast Swimming, won gold in the men’s 1,500-metre free-

One of B.C.’s most dominating efforts came on the diamond.

Victoria Mariners pitcher Colton Wood came up big in the gold medal final, throwing a seven-inning shutout to pace B.C. a 5-0 win over Ontario. Wood gave up just one hit while walking none

and striking out 10 in the gold medal game on Aug. 9.

His offence spotted him a 5-0 lead in the first inning which stayed as the final score.

Fellow Mariners player Jesse Mycock played centre field and had two hits in the final. Victoria Eagles coach Gautam Srivastava was a manager with the team.

wood’s Naomi Ko was part of the gold-medal women’s team, which beat Quebec by 17 strokes for first place.

In the water, rower Emily Nicole Lerhe won gold with the women’s quad. The sculler competes for Boston University and is a member of the Victoria City Rowing Club. Gorge Rowing and Paddling member Patrick Dann won bronze in the K-2 200metre event.

Royal Victoria Yacht Club youth member Max Gallant, who competed at the world laser championships earlier this summer, sailed his singlehanded laser to silver.

The Games were particularly good to Thomas Riva, a UVic Vike from Qualicum Beach. Riva won gold in the 1,500-metre with a surge in the final 100 metres of the race. Riva also won silver in the 800m.

Oak Bay was well represented on the hardcourt by Team B.C. in the women’s basketball final. B.C. took silver, losing 61-41 to Team Ontario in the final, with Oak Bay Breakers Marissa Harrington, Lauren Yearwood and Morgan Roskelley, and Claremont Spartan Marissa Dheensaw on the team.

B.C.’s men’s team didn’t make the medal round but was represented by a pair of Saanich athletes, Matt Neufeld (Lambrick Park) and Taylor Montgomery-Stinson (Claremont).

Dragon boaters to invade Elk Lake From one dragon boat festival comes another as the Canadian National Dragon Boat Championships go down at Elk Lake this weekend, Aug. 23 to 25.

Last weekend an estimated 80,000 people attended the three day event Victoria Dragon Boat Festival on the Inner Harbour.

“This is an exciting opportunity for local competitive teams, such as the Gorging Dragons, who hope to dominate the event and secure a position at the 2014 Club Crew World Championships in Italy,” said Glenys Haskins, general manager for the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Society.

It’s the first time Elk Lake has hosted a dragon boat event. Unique to the competitive regatta are the “held-tail starts,” where boats are held in position manually before racing a variety of distances The event is drawing over 100 crews and 2,000 athletes from across the country.

Racing begins on Friday morning at 8 a.m. (and each day) through Sunday until 5 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Runners pick it up with new September races Two running events have been added to the September race calendar, both selling themselves as a chance for runners to test their mettle ahead of the Victoria Marathon on Oct. 13.

On Sept. 8 the Zoot 10-kilometre road course, which has sprung up in place of the the former McNeill Bay Half Marathon, will debut in Oak Bay. It starts in Oak Bay Village and heads past Estevan Village through the Uplands with a turnaround at Cattle Point. Minor hills and a 500-metre incline will challenge the runners.

All participants get a Zoot technical shirt.

On Sept. 15 The Q’s Victoria Run Series will debut its newest event, the series’ season-ending Synergy Shuffle.

While the series is built around short and middle distance track running, the Shuffle is open to the long distance runners of the community and offers two rarely used distances, 20 and 30 km, as well as a 10-km route.

The Shuffle is based in Central Saanich and starts and finishes at Island View Road and Lochside Trail, beside Michell’s Farm Market. All three races use the same 10-km loop, which runs south on Lochside Trail and includes Hunt and Martindale roads, with small rolling hills and long, flat stretches.

Greek Fest celebration expands Heritage museum opens in time for Greek Fest Edward Hill News staff

If people can aim their eyes past mouthwatering skewers of lamb, tzatziki drizzled gyros and honey glazed loukomades at this year’s Greek Fest, they might notice the Greek community centre has opened a museum.

Or they might not. As 300 lambs roast on spits and 20,000 souvlakis are dished out over two weekends, being captivated by anything other than food seems ambitious.

For a relatively small ethnic group, Victoria’s Greek community has an outsized influence on the city’s gastronomic tastes, as evidenced by the 30,000 visitors that pack the festival.

“Greek Fest is growing every year. People do come here for the food, but also for the hospitality and the way we see ourselves as a mini colony of Greece,” said Michael Ikonomou, president of the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society. “We try to provide what people like and the best entertainment we can.”

This 12th annual Greek Fest is split between the next two weekends – Aug. 23 to 25 and Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 – as opposed to a single week-long event, at Greek Orthodox Church and community centre, just outside of Saanich Commonwealth Place.

A hundred volunteers from the Greek community collectively donate 11,000 hours of time preparing food and hosting

Edward Hill/News staff

Wendy Smylitopoulos, left, and Michael Ikonomou, president of the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society, hold a signboard displaying the Greek roots of explorer Juan de Fuca. The society is hosting its annual Greek Fest over the next two weekends, and is opening its new museum in the building that houses the community centre and church. the celebration of all things Greek.

The Greek community society completed a 3,500 square foot addition to its community centre earlier this year, giving it a bigger kitchen, space for a museum and heritage centre, and more room for Greek language and dance schools.

Volunteers like Wendy Smylitopoulos are

working feverishly to have the museum ready to go by today. “I may have to sleep here (this) week, but it will be ready on Aug. 23,” Smylitopoulos said.

Of the estimated 100 Greek families in Greater Victoria, Ikonomou said many have donated old family photos, mementos from the homeland and records of family arriv-

als to Canada. The museum will display a 1872 Greek prayer book, two icons hundreds of years old, donated fabrics from the old country, and old photos and keepsakes of the past.

“1912 had the first Greek men’s group in Victoria. We’ve got the actual roster,” Smylitopoulos said, and in its original copper plating. “Heritage is what it’s all about – it’s all about the Greeks before they came here and what they’ve done since.”

“We are going to dig deeper into the older families, how they lived and who we have here today,” Ikonomou added. “Building on genealogy is an ongoing project.”

The earliest known Greek arrival to Vancouver Island was several hundred years before the British established its colony.

Ioannis Phokas, a.k.a. Juan de Fuca, cuts a square-jawed, Hemmingway-esque figure on a signboard that highlights his Greek heritage and entry into the Spanish navy.

Juan de Fuca explored into what is now the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 1592 and found the southern tip Vancouver Island, although later explorers like Captain James Cook didn’t believe his claims. “‘Juan de Fuca was Greek?’ That’s the first thing we hear every year,” Smylitopoulos said.

Beyond the museum, volunteers will offer tours of the church, which Ikonomou said is one of the few in Canada with Byzantine architecture and genuine orthodox iconography, painted in Greece in a monastery. The church, the emerging museum and the festival itself prides themselves on authentic links to the culture and history of the Greek people.

Crown Victoria Association car show highlights Ford mid-century classics

Veteran B.C. politician Tom Siddon drove his Tropical Rose and Snowshoe White 1955 Ford Crown from his home in the small ALYN EDWARDS South Okanagan CLASSIC community of RIDES Kaleden to last weekend’s 15th annual Crown Victoria Association convention in Ladner.

The PhD aeronautical engineer, who served 15 years as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for the City of Richmond, joined 50 other 1954 to 1956 Ford and Canadian Meteor cars displayed. Tom’s car is a fully optioned Crown Victoria that was among the first built in the fall of 1954 for the 1955 model year. It’s powered by the early release 272 cubic inch V8 engine with a four barrel carburetor.

The original lady owner of the spectacular pink and white Crown

Former MP Tom Siddon with his rare Tropical Rose and Snowshoe White 1955 Ford Crown Victoria.

Victoria, with its tiara-like roof, was the chief accountant for the Seattle telephone company. She cherished the car until replacing it with a new Thunderbird in 1963. She gave her Crown Victoria to her younger sister on the understanding that her sister would

learn to drive and look after the car.

The new owner did just that and kept the car another 30 years – driving it an average of 1,500 kilometres a year.

Tom bought the fully restored car with features including a continental kit Continued on Pg. B3

along with power windows and seat at an auction in Kelowna 12 years ago.

“I didn’t intend to buy a car at the auction but I had looked at this one all day before it went across the block at 5 o’clock when no one was left,” he recalls. “I got it for a good price.”

Tom Siddon grew up in Drumheller, AB, famous for its dinosaur archaeological discoveries. His father was a barber and, with five children, there wasn’t a lot of spare money. “I was interested in mechanical things and my father taught me that you could always fix something; it became an obsession,” he says.

He was inspired by his high school shop teacher who sold him his first car for $5 – a 1934 Ford sedan – and a V8 engine all apart for another $5. Tom set to work putting the engine back together and, instead of installing it in the sedan, he used the engine for a 1938 Ford coupe he had acquired.

He worked his way through high school and part way through university with part-time jobs in body shops where he developed skills that would be instrumental in later car restorations.

“My secret weapon in politics was my ‘Tory Blue Model A Ford coupe that we took in all the parades in Delta with our kids in the rumble seat while I was the Conservative MP,” he says.

Wayne Waddell’s 1955 Sunliner.

Don Clark’s 1955 Crown Victoria is one of only 1,999 “Skyliners” built with the darktinted Plexiglas front roof section.

At the age of 71, Tom Siddon is revisiting his youth by restoring a 1940 Ford coupe. The car was so rusty, it has become a massive frame-off restoration project. The coupe is now back from the paint shop and Tom is painstakingly reassembling it as a street rod.

His other classics include a red and white 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1940 Ford pickup truck. All three of his sons build drag race cars and his eldest son operates Tops Auto Repair in Kelowna.

In 2010, Tom helped organize a Crown Victoria Association convention in Penticton. He is currently an elected

Fiesta Red and Colonial White 1956 Ford Crown Victoria owned by Jake Feenstra.

Director for the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen. In 2012, the Pacific Northwest meet was held in Kalispell, Montana and in earlier years in Victoria, Calgary, Seattle, and Post Falls, Idaho.

The Crown Victoria Association recognizes some of the most interesting Ford automobiles built in the model years of 1954, 1955 and 1956. Also at this year’s convention was Don and Bev Clark with their very rare 1955 Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner, one of 1,999 built with a Plexiglas roof insert. Even more uncommon is the

1956 Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner owned by Doug Taylor from Mount Lehman in the Fraser Valley. It is one of only 603 manufactured with the exotic dark tinted Plexiglas roof insert and it features every available option including in-dash air conditioning.

Royals draw on youth and experience

By Jennifer Blyth

PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE: Victoria @ Everett, 7 p.m.

Coming off a season as one of the youngest teams in the WHL, the Friday, Aug. 30 Victoria Royals will still have youth Saturday, Aug. 31 on their side this season, but with a Sunday, Sept. 1 healthy dose of experience gained Saturday, Sept. 14 when many of those same players Sunday, Sept. 15 embraced the opportunity to step up their game last year.

With key players out with lengthy injuries last season, younger players were given the chance to take on challenges like the power play they might not have otherwise had, explains head coach Dave Lowry.

Others, like last year’s No. 1 Bantam Draft pick Tyler Soy received the call up to play for the Royals, not only during regular season but also in the playoffs where he recorded a goal and an assist against the Kamloops Blazers.

“I think our young guys worked really well; they made really good strides from the start of the year to the end,” Lowry says. “We’re still going to be considered a young team so we’re lucky that a lot of the young guys have had a lot of experience already.”

General manager Cameron Hope, who with Lowry had his first season in Victoria last year, notes that he and the team had set their expectations pretty high last season, and despite a host of late-season injuries, “we won some playoff games, which hadn’t been done in Victoria before with this WHL team,” he says. “It really was a great year and a great experience.”

The strength of the Royals players and program is getting noticed, Hope says, pointing to Keegan Kanzig being picked up in the third round by the Calgary Flames.

Season highlights for Lowry really involved the Royals’ overall growth.

“I think we like the development and strides we made as a team,” he says, pointing to the significant number of come-from-behind third-period wins the team had. Not only was the morale and work ethic good, but the extensive conditioning the team emphasized paid dividends as well.

“They really understood, and we tried to educate them early, that conditioning is a key factor in the WHL, where a lot of games are played over a short period.”

Rather than a single favourite moment from last season, it’s this team development as a whole that really stands out for him. “I like the way our group came together. We had some nights when a lot of people didn’t give us a chance and we went into some difficult buildings ready to compete.”

Looking ahead, the Royals’ biggest challenge comes in replacing graduating players like Alex

Royals fans look forward to a season packed with action like this effort by Joe Hicketts.

Gogolev and Jamie Crooks.

“We have some guys who are really going to have to elevate their game...The second year for the 16-year-olds (who have some success in their first year) is always difficult, and they have to work harder,” Lowry says.

Older players like Jordan Fransoo, Logan Nelson, Steven Hodges and Brandon Magee, will be expected to take a leadership role, along with players like Kanzig, still considered a younger player at 17.

“Some of our returning guys are in a break-out season,” Hope notes, pointing to Joe Hicketts, recently returned from Team Canada U18 play, as a player who is really emerging as a leader in the league.

“We know we’re a year into this and for us the biggest challenge is to remember patience,” Lowry says. “We know we’re building something here and for us it’s not to rush the process.”

Adds Hope, “I can’t wait for it to start!”

Royals’ pre-season play includes home date Sept. 14 The Victoria Royals’ pre-season play will take them to teams from both the U.S. and B.C. divisions as they prepare for the start of regular season Sept. 21.

Five exhibition games are on the Royals’ schedule from late August to mid-September, including three during the Everett Silvertips’ annual pre-season tournament. The first game will be played Aug. 30 against the host Silvertips, before the Royals face-off against the Seattle Thunderbirds the next day at 3 p.m. The Royals conclude the tournament Sept. 1 against the Tri-City Americans.

Victoria will complete their exhibition schedule with a home-and-home series against the Vancouver Giants. Local fans can catch their team in action when the Royals host Giants on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 1:35 p.m. at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

The series concludes following day with a 2 p.m. game in Ladner.

Royals’ D-man Kanzig sees Flames in 2013 NHL Draft Royals defenceman Keegan Kanzig may be Royal Blue, but there’s likely a little red in his heart these days too.

Kanzig was selected by the Calgary Flames in the third round of this summer’s 2013 National Hockey League draft.

The Athabasca, AB native was the first Victoria player to be drafted to the NHL this year and the highest drafted player in Royals’ history. Kanzig recently completed his second season with the Royals and saw action in 70 games last year, notching seven assists and 159 minutes in penalties. Kanzig was the 14th player drafted from the Western Hockey League and 39th Canadian-born skater selected.

“It’s hard to explain the feeling,” Kanzig said after hearing the news. “You could say excitement, but that really doesn’t do it justice. Calgary was one of the teams I was hoping would choose me. It’s a great organization, a great city, and it’s a great opportunity for me.”

While Kanzig grew up closer to Edmonton Oilers country than Flames, he’s thrilled to be part of an organization with a first-rate reputation; with Calgary currently in rebuilding mode, he looks forward to the opportunity to work hard and show the coaches what he’s made of.

After skating with the Royals’ training camp at the end of August, Kanzig will suit up with the Flames at a tournament in Penticton in early September, before Rookie camp.

In his two-year WHL career, Kanzig has appeared in 133 games and has registered nine assists along with 225 penalty minutes.

Kanzig has also appeared in 10 games in the WHL Playoffs where he has scored one goal and posted 18 minutes in penalties. Kanzig also represented Team Pacific at the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Championships.

The 6’5”, 238 lb defenceman was selected by the Chilliwack Bruins in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft in the first round, seventh overall. Before Kanzig joined the Royals, he played one season with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAA team.

His hockey career started with Athabaska Minor Hockey, where he played through Pee Wee, before moving to Fort Saskatchewan’s Bantam program; still living in Athabaska, though, practices and games required a long drive...and a big commitment from his parents. “I owe a huge thanks to my parents for supporting me as I follow my dream,” he says.

It’s no surprise that when asked about his own inspiration, he recognizes the role of family. “I had an older brother who played and my dad played so I always looked up to them.”

Coming off a Royals season that saw a lot of successes – including a franchise-record winning streak – Kanzig looks to the depth and leadership of the team’s many returning players as a key to the coming season.

“Last year was a good one. We had a fairly young team but a good group of guys.”

Looking ahead, “we have some skilled forVictoria defender Keegan wards, some big players and good goaltending.”

Kanzig was selected by After two years on the warm West Coast, “it’s a little weird coming to the rink in the middle the Calgary Flames in the of winter and there’s no snow on the ground,” third round, 67th overall.

Royals select 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft Seven forwards, four defencemen join Royals at annual draft.

The Victoria Royals selected 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, including three from British Columbia.

Coming in to the draft “we tried to address the skill component, and we did that,” said Director of Player Personnel Grant Armstrong.

“At the same time we looked for intelligence and the players that we have coming to draft camp are all very highly qualified, smart, skilled players.”

The Royals first pick, 11th overall, was Dante Hannoun from the North Shore Winter Club Hawks. Hannoun, a 5’6”, 145 lb centre amassed 151 points (63g-88a) in 63 games, along with 46 penalty minutes. The Delta, B.C. native also helped lead his team to the 2013 BC Provincial Bantam Tier 1 Championship and a second-place finish at the 2013 Western Canada Bantam Championship.

“Dante is a dynamic talent who plays with intensity and he sees the ice as well as anyone in the game,” noted General Manager Cameron Hope.

“He’s an intelligent player who can finish and makes his teammates better.”

With the 33rd pick of the draft, the Royals selected Calgary winger Matthew Phillips, who skated last season with the Calgary Bisons, scoring 77 points (40g-37a) to go along with

eight minutes in penalties.

“Matthew is a player with great upside,” General Manager Cameron Hope said.

“He has a high motor, he’s tenacious and he’s offensively talented. At the same time Matthew also plays a 200-foot game.”

Victoria’s second pick of Round 2 claimed defenceman Ralph Jarratt. The 6’1”, 165 lb rearguard from Grand Prairie played with the Pursuit of Excellence Bantam AAA team, where he tallied 29 points (3g26a) and 66 minutes in penalties in 28 games.

“Ralph is a shutdown defenceman with great potential,” Armstrong said. “(He) has a good stick and is a strong skater that can play in all situations.

Rounding out the Royals 11 selections were: Noah Gregor – 5’9”, 150 lb winger from Beaumont, AB who played with the Leduc Oil Kings, collecting 68 points (43g-25a) and 64 penalty minutes last season.

Blake Jameson – 6’1”, 166 lb defenceman from Brandon, MB who played with the bantam AAA Brandon Wheat Kings, collecting nine points (1g-8a) and 12 penalty minutes in 25 games.

Brayden Dunn – 5’9”, 151 lb

Jared Dmytriw – 5’9”, 150 lb forward from Craven, SK, who skated with the Prairie Storm of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, amassed 64 points (37g-27a) and 54 penalty minutes in 37 games.

Ethen Frank – 5’11”, 164 lb forward from Omaha, NE who became the first American-born player draft pick. Frank notched 23 points (8g15a) and six penalty minutes in 22 games with the Omaha AAA 16U team.

Matt Hellickson – 5’10”, 155 lb defenseman from Rogers, MN who collected 11 points (4g-7a) and 23 penalty minutes in 25 games for the Rogers Royals of the Minnesota High School Hockey League.

Ty Westgard – 5’11”, 163 lb forward from Surrey, BC who played with the Semiahmoo Bantam A1 team, recording 117 points (51g-66a) in 47 games Carter Stephenson – 5’11”, 155 lb defender from West Vancouver who played with Hollyburn Bantam A1 team of the PCBHL.

1245 Parkdale Drive

Athletic talent can get you a long way in highperformance sports, but if you can back that up with a solid work ethic and team-first attitude, the sky’s the limit.

The Victoria Royals’ No. 1 pick from last year’s Bantam Draft may offer just such a package.

Tyler Soy got a taste of playing with the Royals last year, coming in to play as the team battled a string of injuries toward the end of the season, and fans should look forward to seeing more of the talented forward.

The Royals’ first round selection in the 2012 Bantam Draft, Soy spent his 2011-12 season as captain of the Cloverdale Bantam A-1 Colts, recording 65 points (24g-41a) in just 20 games played. In total, including regular season, tournament and playoff action, Soy amassed 159 points (53g-106a) in 46 games.

The 5’11”,154 lb Surrey native “is an offensively dynamic player who is also not afraid to go into the dirty areas,” Director of Scouting Garry Pochipinski noted following the draft. “He possesses leadership skills, and we view him as the total package.”

At the 2012 U16 BC Cup, Soy was tied for second in scoring at the 10-team tournament with five points (2g-3a) in four games.

Hicketts brings Team Canada experience to sophomore season with the Royals

By Jennifer Blyth The Victoria Royals will be looking forward to leadership on the blue line from secondyear defenseman Joe Hicketts, recently returned from international play with the Team Canada U-18 team in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Hicketts was named to the 22-man roster following Team Canada’s Under-18 selection camp in Toronto, which featured 42 players born in 1996 vying for a spot in the 2013 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka Tournament, Aug. 5 to 10.

“It happened quickly – over a four-day period – then we’re playing (in Europe) four days later,” Hicketts says of the whirlwind Team Canada selection camp.

“It’s been great. Hockey Canada knows how to do things right,” says the four-time veteran of Hockey Canada programs. “It’s been a great experience.”

Joe won gold at the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka Tournament and put up two assists. He’s also the first player in franchise history to win a gold at this tournament.

Prior to the August tournament, Hicketts suited up for Team Canada last April in Sochi, Russia when he took part in two exhibition games at the 2013 IIHF Under-18 World Championships as an underage player.

The Kamloops native was also named captain of Team Pacific for the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge this past season where he registered six points (1g-5a) in five games, and captain of Team Canada for the

2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games, where he collected five points (0g-5a) en route to a bronze medal.

Growing up playing for Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, where high-level play often meant hitting the highway for away games in the Okanagan and beyond, Hicketts credits his parents for their support as he pursues his passion for the sport.

“Kamloops was a great place to be raised and friends were always close, but it’s definitely a travelling league so the commitment (from family) was there and I’d like to thank my parents for that,” says Hicketts, who growing up looked to offensive defensemen like Duncan Keith for inspiration.

Drafted 12th overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, Hicketts played for the Okanagan Hockey Academy before stepping on the ice with Victoria last season.

Team Canada scouts weren’t the only ones noticing Hicketts’ play last season. The 5’8” defenseman was named the club’s 2012-13 Rookie of the Year, having completed his rookie season with 24 points (6g-18a) over 67 games played.

“Anytime you get acknowledged from among your peers, it’s something to be proud of,” Hicketts says, crediting his teammates and the organization for their support through his inaugural WHL season.

“The older guys really helped me out, along with the coaching staff and all our support staff, They gave me an opportunity and I want-

ed to make the most of it.”

The Royals record-setting winning streak was a special highlight in an exciting year, and Hicketts looks forward to making new memories with a strong team of returning players.

“I think we have a strong group of guys coming back so I’m looking forward to a consistent season,” he predicts. Personally, “helping the team win is the first goal.”

Following the conclusion of European play, Hicketts was looking forward to a short break back in Kamloops before heading to Royals training camp later this month, in anticipation of pre-season play opening Aug. 30.

With good fan support in Victoria and a first-class organization standing behind the players, “there’s definitely not a team treated better than us.”

1245 Parkdale Drive

Athletic talent can get you a long way in highperformance sports, but if you can back that up with a solid work ethic and team-first attitude, the sky’s the limit.

The Victoria Royals’ No. 1 pick from last year’s Bantam Draft may offer just such a package.

Tyler Soy got a taste of playing with the Royals last year, coming in to play as the team battled a string of injuries toward the end of the season, and fans should look forward to seeing more of the talented forward.

The Royals’ first round selection in the 2012 Bantam Draft, Soy spent his 2011-12 season as captain of the Cloverdale Bantam A-1 Colts, recording 65 points (24g-41a) in just 20 games played. In total, including regular season, tournament and playoff action, Soy amassed 159 points (53g-106a) in 46 games.

The 5’11”,154 lb Surrey native “is an offensively dynamic player who is also not afraid to go into the dirty areas,” Director of Scouting Garry Pochipinski noted following the draft. “He possesses leadership skills, and we view him as the total package.”

At the 2012 U16 BC Cup, Soy was tied for second in scoring at the 10-team tournament with five points (2g-3a) in four games.

Hicketts brings Team Canada experience to sophomore season with the Royals

By Jennifer Blyth The Victoria Royals will be looking forward to leadership on the blue line from secondyear defenseman Joe Hicketts, recently returned from international play with the Team Canada U-18 team in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Hicketts was named to the 22-man roster following Team Canada’s Under-18 selection camp in Toronto, which featured 42 players born in 1996 vying for a spot in the 2013 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka Tournament, Aug. 5 to 10.

“It happened quickly – over a four-day period – then we’re playing (in Europe) four days later,” Hicketts says of the whirlwind Team Canada selection camp.

“It’s been great. Hockey Canada knows how to do things right,” says the four-time veteran of Hockey Canada programs. “It’s been a great experience.”

Joe won gold at the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka Tournament and put up two assists. He’s also the first player in franchise history to win a gold at this tournament.

Prior to the August tournament, Hicketts suited up for Team Canada last April in Sochi, Russia when he took part in two exhibition games at the 2013 IIHF Under-18 World Championships as an underage player.

The Kamloops native was also named captain of Team Pacific for the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge this past season where he registered six points (1g-5a) in five games, and captain of Team Canada for the

2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games, where he collected five points (0g-5a) en route to a bronze medal.

Growing up playing for Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, where high-level play often meant hitting the highway for away games in the Okanagan and beyond, Hicketts credits his parents for their support as he pursues his passion for the sport.

“Kamloops was a great place to be raised and friends were always close, but it’s definitely a travelling league so the commitment (from family) was there and I’d like to thank my parents for that,” says Hicketts, who growing up looked to offensive defensemen like Duncan Keith for inspiration.

Drafted 12th overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, Hicketts played for the Okanagan Hockey Academy before stepping on the ice with Victoria last season.

Team Canada scouts weren’t the only ones noticing Hicketts’ play last season. The 5’8” defenseman was named the club’s 2012-13 Rookie of the Year, having completed his rookie season with 24 points (6g-18a) over 67 games played.

“Anytime you get acknowledged from among your peers, it’s something to be proud of,” Hicketts says, crediting his teammates and the organization for their support through his inaugural WHL season.

“The older guys really helped me out, along with the coaching staff and all our support staff, They gave me an opportunity and I want-

ed to make the most of it.”

The Royals record-setting winning streak was a special highlight in an exciting year, and Hicketts looks forward to making new memories with a strong team of returning players.

“I think we have a strong group of guys coming back so I’m looking forward to a consistent season,” he predicts. Personally, “helping the team win is the first goal.”

Following the conclusion of European play, Hicketts was looking forward to a short break back in Kamloops before heading to Royals training camp later this month, in anticipation of pre-season play opening Aug. 30.

With good fan support in Victoria and a first-class organization standing behind the players, “there’s definitely not a team treated better than us.”

Royals’ D-man Kanzig sees Flames in 2013 NHL Draft Royals defenceman Keegan Kanzig may be Royal Blue, but there’s likely a little red in his heart these days too.

Kanzig was selected by the Calgary Flames in the third round of this summer’s 2013 National Hockey League draft.

The Athabasca, AB native was the first Victoria player to be drafted to the NHL this year and the highest drafted player in Royals’ history. Kanzig recently completed his second season with the Royals and saw action in 70 games last year, notching seven assists and 159 minutes in penalties. Kanzig was the 14th player drafted from the Western Hockey League and 39th Canadian-born skater selected.

“It’s hard to explain the feeling,” Kanzig said after hearing the news. “You could say excitement, but that really doesn’t do it justice. Calgary was one of the teams I was hoping would choose me. It’s a great organization, a great city, and it’s a great opportunity for me.”

While Kanzig grew up closer to Edmonton Oilers country than Flames, he’s thrilled to be part of an organization with a first-rate reputation; with Calgary currently in rebuilding mode, he looks forward to the opportunity to work hard and show the coaches what he’s made of.

After skating with the Royals’ training camp at the end of August, Kanzig will suit up with the Flames at a tournament in Penticton in early September, before Rookie camp.

In his two-year WHL career, Kanzig has appeared in 133 games and has registered nine assists along with 225 penalty minutes.

Kanzig has also appeared in 10 games in the WHL Playoffs where he has scored one goal and posted 18 minutes in penalties. Kanzig also represented Team Pacific at the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Championships.

The 6’5”, 238 lb defenceman was selected by the Chilliwack Bruins in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft in the first round, seventh overall. Before Kanzig joined the Royals, he played one season with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAA team.

His hockey career started with Athabaska Minor Hockey, where he played through Pee Wee, before moving to Fort Saskatchewan’s Bantam program; still living in Athabaska, though, practices and games required a long drive...and a big commitment from his parents. “I owe a huge thanks to my parents for supporting me as I follow my dream,” he says.

It’s no surprise that when asked about his own inspiration, he recognizes the role of family. “I had an older brother who played and my dad played so I always looked up to them.”

Coming off a Royals season that saw a lot of successes – including a franchise-record winning streak – Kanzig looks to the depth and leadership of the team’s many returning players as a key to the coming season.

“Last year was a good one. We had a fairly young team but a good group of guys.”

Looking ahead, “we have some skilled forVictoria defender Keegan wards, some big players and good goaltending.”

Kanzig was selected by After two years on the warm West Coast, “it’s a little weird coming to the rink in the middle the Calgary Flames in the of winter and there’s no snow on the ground,” third round, 67th overall.

Kanzig jokes, “but we have great fans and they’re always out to support us.”

Royals select 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft Seven forwards, four defencemen join Royals at annual draft.

The Victoria Royals selected 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, including three from British Columbia.

Coming in to the draft “we tried to address the skill component, and we did that,” said Director of Player Personnel Grant Armstrong.

“At the same time we looked for intelligence and the players that we have coming to draft camp are all very highly qualified, smart, skilled players.”

The Royals first pick, 11th overall, was Dante Hannoun from the North Shore Winter Club Hawks. Hannoun, a 5’6”, 145 lb centre amassed 151 points (63g-88a) in 63 games, along with 46 penalty minutes. The Delta, B.C. native also helped lead his team to the 2013 BC Provincial Bantam Tier 1 Championship and a second-place finish at the 2013 Western Canada Bantam Championship.

“Dante is a dynamic talent who plays with intensity and he sees the ice as well as anyone in the game,” noted General Manager Cameron Hope.

“He’s an intelligent player who can finish and makes his teammates better.”

With the 33rd pick of the draft, the Royals selected Calgary winger Matthew Phillips, who skated last season with the Calgary Bisons, scoring 77 points (40g-37a) to go along with

eight minutes in penalties.

“Matthew is a player with great upside,” General Manager Cameron Hope said.

“He has a high motor, he’s tenacious and he’s offensively talented. At the same time Matthew also plays a 200-foot game.”

Victoria’s second pick of Round 2 claimed defenceman Ralph Jarratt. The 6’1”, 165 lb rearguard from Grand Prairie played with the Pursuit of Excellence Bantam AAA team, where he tallied 29 points (3g26a) and 66 minutes in penalties in 28 games.

“Ralph is a shutdown defenceman with great potential,” Armstrong said. “(He) has a good stick and is a strong skater that can play in all situations.

Rounding out the Royals 11 selections were: Noah Gregor – 5’9”, 150 lb winger from Beaumont, AB who played with the Leduc Oil Kings, collecting 68 points (43g-25a) and 64 penalty minutes last season.

Blake Jameson – 6’1”, 166 lb defenceman from Brandon, MB who played with the bantam AAA Brandon Wheat Kings, collecting nine points (1g-8a) and 12 penalty minutes in 25 games.

Brayden Dunn – 5’9”, 151 lb

Jared Dmytriw – 5’9”, 150 lb forward from Craven, SK, who skated with the Prairie Storm of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, amassed 64 points (37g-27a) and 54 penalty minutes in 37 games.

Ethen Frank – 5’11”, 164 lb forward from Omaha, NE who became the first American-born player draft pick. Frank notched 23 points (8g15a) and six penalty minutes in 22 games with the Omaha AAA 16U team.

Matt Hellickson – 5’10”, 155 lb defenseman from Rogers, MN who collected 11 points (4g-7a) and 23 penalty minutes in 25 games for the Rogers Royals of the Minnesota High School Hockey League.

Ty Westgard – 5’11”, 163 lb forward from Surrey, BC who played with the Semiahmoo Bantam A1 team, recording 117 points (51g-66a) in 47 games Carter Stephenson – 5’11”, 155 lb defender from West Vancouver who played with Hollyburn Bantam A1 team of the PCBHL.

The annual WHL Bantam Draft has Western Hockey League clubs select players who have graduated from bantam. The draft’s order of selection depends on where the team finishes in the League standings.

Royals select 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft Seven forwards, four defencemen join Royals at annual draft.

The Victoria Royals selected 11 players in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, including three from British Columbia.

Coming in to the draft “we tried to address the skill component, and we did that,” said Director of Player Personnel Grant Armstrong.

“At the same time we looked for intelligence and the players that we have coming to draft camp are all very highly qualified, smart, skilled players.”

The Royals first pick, 11th overall, was Dante Hannoun from the North Shore Winter Club Hawks. Hannoun, a 5’6”, 145 lb centre amassed 151 points (63g-88a) in 63 games, along with 46 penalty minutes. The Delta, B.C. native also helped lead his team to the 2013 BC Provincial Bantam Tier 1 Championship and a second-place finish at the 2013 Western Canada Bantam Championship.

“Dante is a dynamic talent who plays with intensity and he sees the ice as well as anyone in the game,” noted General Manager Cameron Hope.

“He’s an intelligent player who can finish and makes his teammates better.”

With the 33rd pick of the draft, the Royals selected Calgary winger Matthew Phillips, who skated last season with the Calgary Bisons, scoring 77 points (40g-37a) to go along with

eight minutes in penalties.

“Matthew is a player with great upside,” General Manager Cameron Hope said.

“He has a high motor, he’s tenacious and he’s offensively talented. At the same time Matthew also plays a 200-foot game.”

Victoria’s second pick of Round 2 claimed defenceman Ralph Jarratt. The 6’1”, 165 lb rearguard from Grand Prairie played with the Pursuit of Excellence Bantam AAA team, where he tallied 29 points (3g26a) and 66 minutes in penalties in 28 games.

“Ralph is a shutdown defenceman with great potential,” Armstrong said. “(He) has a good stick and is a strong skater that can play in all situations.

Rounding out the Royals 11 selections were: Noah Gregor – 5’9”, 150 lb winger from Beaumont, AB who played with the Leduc Oil Kings, collecting 68 points (43g-25a) and 64 penalty minutes last season.

Blake Jameson – 6’1”, 166 lb defenceman from Brandon, MB who played with the bantam AAA Brandon Wheat Kings, collecting nine points (1g-8a) and 12 penalty minutes in 25 games.

Brayden Dunn – 5’9”, 151 lb

Jared Dmytriw – 5’9”, 150 lb forward from Craven, SK, who skated with the Prairie Storm of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, amassed 64 points (37g-27a) and 54 penalty minutes in 37 games.

Ethen Frank – 5’11”, 164 lb forward from Omaha, NE who became the first American-born player draft pick. Frank notched 23 points (8g15a) and six penalty minutes in 22 games with the Omaha AAA 16U team.

Matt Hellickson – 5’10”, 155 lb defenseman from Rogers, MN who collected 11 points (4g-7a) and 23 penalty minutes in 25 games for the Rogers Royals of the Minnesota High School Hockey League.

Ty Westgard – 5’11”, 163 lb forward from Surrey, BC who played with the Semiahmoo Bantam A1 team, recording 117 points (51g-66a) in 47 games Carter Stephenson – 5’11”, 155 lb defender from West Vancouver who played with Hollyburn Bantam A1 team of the PCBHL.

The annual WHL Bantam Draft has Western Hockey League clubs select players who have graduated from bantam. The draft’s order of selection depends on where the team finishes in the League standings. The clubs that miss the playoffs are placed into a lottery for the first round only. After the first round, the clubs select in order from fewest to most regular season points.

Billet families provide home away from home

By Jennifer Blyth While the Victoria Royals players enjoy the thrill of a lifetime experiencing the fastpaced action and opportunities of playing in the WHL, the need to leave home – often at just 16 years old – requires commitment of another sort.

Luckily for Victoria’s hockey stars, the Royals have an invaluable core of billet families ready to welcome players into their homes.

For Wes Boyd, dad to Jackson, 14, and Jonathon,12, hosting Royals brothers Ben and Jack Walker just made sense. Wes had extra space in his home, and as a former Junior hockey player himself, knew more than a little about what the Walkers needed to play at that level.

“We had had students in the past and it was a good opportunity to have some kids who were focused on being successful at what they’re really interested in,” Wes explains, noting that Jack Walker is only a few years older than Jackson.

Even better, Jackson and Jonathon, both competitive lacrosse players, share a passion for that sport with the Walkers, and they can often be found in their downtime tossing the ball around the yard. “They didn’t know what to think of (having players here) at first, but now they think it’s really cool. They also like that they can have a relationship with someone from Minnesota – they talk a lot

Marty Wins Big Ben and Jack Walker cheering a goal (top) and with Jonathon and Jackson Boyd, part of their billet family. about that.”

The Walkers’ parents both came to visit their sons’ home away from home and meet the Boyds, and Wes has heard how some of the life skills he’s had a hand in teaching have paid off – like when Ben was able to cook for his family when he returned home for a visit.

In turn, Jackson and Jonathon benefit from the lessons learned from the older boys about things crucial to high-performance sports, like nutrition, fitness and commitment, Wes points out. “They’re focused kids who are here to try to fulfill their dream.”

As when sharing your home with anyone, good communication is key, and respecting each other’s space. He provides a good selection of healthy nutritious food and comfortable accommodations, but “they kind of look after themselves.”

Remembering that they’re still kids, a lis-

tening ear from time to time can also go a long way, but they don’t sit and talk hockey all day long. Wes is also in contact with teachers where needed to ensure the boys’ schoolwork stays on track.

Royal Brandon Magee, who recently returned to his billet mom, Dale Piner, for the coming season, recognizes the impact her support has had. “I appreciate what she does enormously...My billet family is really what makes playing hockey so easy for me,” Brandon says.

“I honestly feel like one of the sons in the house now and I don’t think I could be anywhere else right now,” he says.

There’s no doubt that Victoria hockey fans love their mascot!

Victoria Royals’ mascot Marty the Marmot has won the championship round of mascotinsider.com’s second annual Favorite Mascot of the Year poll.

Marty, who qualified for the championship round after he won the “Favorite Not Listed” category, earns the title of Favorite Mascot of the Year after receiving 37,352 votes from fans.

In the final round of voting, Marty defeated Bailey from the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, Benny the Bull from the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, the Sausages of MLB’s Milwaukee Brewers, and others.

Marty’s victory can be attributed to the voting efforts of his loyal fan base, which he has developed largely through his philanthropic endeavors...and his winning personality displayed at the rink and in the community.

Marty spends countless hours each year raising money for a variety of charitable causes and organizations.

Marty’s contributions to the community were over 400 hours and $17,000 last year.

MascotInsider.com is a website dedicated to uniting mascots with their fans.

The new 2014 Fiat 500c GQ Edition continues the brand’s tradition of premium, limited-production lifestyle cars for discerning customers.

FIAT presents powerful, tailored limited-edition 500c GQ Edition Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

Concorso Italiano at the recent Pebble Beach Concours provided the perfect setting for the Fiat brand to debut its latest Cinquecento (500) cabrio model – the powerful yet tailored 2014 Fiat 500c GQ Edition.

GQ’s style leadership of the modern man inspired the Fiat brand to create a new Fiat 500 variant that continues the brand’s tradition of fashionable, limited-production lifestyle cars for the discerning customer.

Fiat brand designers strived to capture the essence of the GQ man by creating a Cinquecento that reflects an athletic yet style-conscious lifestyle.

The Fiat 500c GQ Edition requires a more pronounced front fascia with larger air intakes to maximize airflow to the 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine.

Performance-styled side sills provide this Cinquecento’s iconic silhouette with a more athletic profile. For a one-of-a-kind look, new 16-inch split five-spoke aluminum wheels feature a sculptural design and are finished in Hyper Nero (black) with a Rosso (red) centre cap and accenting inner backbone.

A cloth-top mounted spoiler extends the roofline and contributes to deliver the downforce needed for spirited handling. Below, a rearfascia diffuser neatly integrates the dual exhaust system.

With just the push of a button, the Fiat 500c GQ Edition’s poweroperated cloth top retracts up to the rear spoiler during speeds up to 96 km/h (a midway point can be chosen by pressing the button anytime in between).

Press the roof button again, and the premium Nero fabric roof will fold all the way open and tuck neatly behind the rear head restraints (up to 80 km/h).

Inside, the Fiat 500c GQ Edition integrates functional performance appointments, premium materials and unique colour treatments.

At the forefront, a thick-rim three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in Nero leather and features a contrasting Steam (white) inner leather ring.

A large concentric instrument cluster with 240 km/h speedometer, tachometer and trip computer sits behind the steering wheel and features a Nero leather-wrapped cluster brow finished with Tungsten accent stitching. At the centre, a Nero shift knob is sewn together with Tungsten accent thread.

For a touch of sophistication, GQ Edition-specific satin chrome interior accents throughout provide an upscale look.

Lincoln has revealed the Lincoln Black Label, a collection of ultra-premium exterior and interior themes mated to an even higher level of personal services and experiences that mark the next step in the brand’s reinvention.

Showcased on an all-new MKZ and the MKC Concept at the recent Pebble Beach Concours, Lincoln Black Label eventually will be available on every new Lincoln vehicle.

This full-range availability enables more vehicles in the model portfolio to be equipped with this higher-level expression of luxury than currently offered by any competitor.

Lincoln and Black Label dealers will collaborate to create a consistent, personal and integrated client shopping and ownership experience.

The entire process will provide respect for the luxury of time with a complete suite of elevated customer services to be unveiled at the time of Black Label market introduction.

Limited-edition design themes, ultrapremium materials, meticulous execution and elevated client service will be the hallmarks of Lincoln Black Label.

Black Label was conceived and designed by a select Lincoln Design team to reflect the breadth of the brand.

In its earlier days, Lincoln was a favorite vehicle for unique, sophisticated and luxurious bespoke exterior and interior themes.

This has inspired a new direction to provide a higher level of luxury available to all clients of the brand – not just those who purchase the most expensive, top-of-range models.

Creating a family of elegant themes that represents confidence and sophistication, each of the three interior environments presented at the preview is coordinated with exclusive exterior colours.

The materials for each interior environment have been selected to reflect the team’s desire to create a warm and sophisticated package that also tells a story.

After starting with nearly two dozen concepts, the Lincoln Black Label design team honed in on a select few themes, each inspired by trends in fashion, food and architecture as well as lifestyles and experiences.
