And the ever-popular truck and tractor pulls back Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

The 104th edition of the Luxton Fall Fair kicks off Friday (Sept. 12), with plenty of activities and offerings to keep visitors busy. This year’s fair features two entertainment stages, with popular Victoria bands Sombrio and The Tumblin’ Dice among the bands performing Saturday and Sunday. “They’re kind of dubbing it the Luxton music fest,” says Marni Jacobs, advertising and promotions co-ordinator for the fair. Back by popular demand is the truck and tractor pull, pitting horsepower against horsepower in a fierce competition on Saturday and Sunday in the rodeo arena. Admission is $15 per n The Luxton Fall day, or $20 for both. Fair gets underway Kids 12 and under are Friday at 3 p.m. and free. Also revving their Saturday and Sunday engines are the dirt at 1 p.m. at the bike enthusiasts from Luxton Fairgrounds, Westshore Motocross, off Happy Valley who are bringing a Road, just south learn-to-ride program of the Sooke Road for the littlest bikers traffic light. with 50cc bikes with training wheels. West Coast Amusements Midway will have all their stomach-dropping rides open all weekend long. Wristbands cost between $33 and $38 for unlimited rides, or books of tickets are available. Arts in the Barn showcases mediums for all ages and the horticulture and agriculture exhibitions pay homage to the art of farming and growing. “It’s fun for all ages and there’s something for everyone,” Jacobs says.

All’s Fair in fall

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Amanda Evans, program manager for the fledgling Greater Victoria Green Team, pulls a bit of English ivy in View Royal’s Portage Park. The team is recruiting volunteers to participate in a tree and shrub planting event in the park Sept. 14, building on previous invasive species work done in the park by volunteers.

Portage Park to receive more TLC View Royal space getting help from fledgling Green Team Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Walking down the stairs behind View Royal’s town hall, one gets a sense of entering a wooded wonderland. Portage Park, perched at the south end of the municipality on the edge of Esquimalt Harbour – Thetis Cove to be exact – is a wild, seven-hectare gem featuring numerous plant and tree species, not to mention industrious spiders. Amanda Evans is mindful of a couple of webs as she sidles up to a Douglas fir

covered with English ivy for a photo. The program manager for the Greater Victoria Green Team is doing a little promo for the third community environmental event facilitated by her fledgling group: a native tree and shrub planting set for this Sunday (Sept. 14). Evans is very familiar with this beautiful urban park. Before taking the job with the Green Team, she was a member of the Portage Park volunteer group that has worked hard the past two years to rid the area of invasive species through ivy pulls and other clearing activities. “It needs a little bit of love and attention,” she says of the park. “Over 80 per cent of the park is covered in ivy.” The team’s mandate is to collaborate with various environmental proj-

ect co-ordinators in the Capital Region and help round up volunteers, through things like Meetup postings on social media, from the hundreds of people willing to get down and dirty to help native plant species. Formed this year as an expansion of the hugely successful Green Team in Greater Vancouver, the Greater Victoria team aims to not only broaden the volunteer corps for all local stewardship groups, but raise awareness of area parks and help municipalities battle invasive species. “There’s so many parks here I haven’t even been to,” Evans says.

Cyclists, pedestrians protected along Millstream Work on bike lanes underway on busy stretch of road Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

New bike lanes along Millstream

Road between Treanor Avenue and Bear Mountain Parkway are well into construction, a project helped by a $38,091 BikeBC grant. “It’s important to improve pedestrian and cycling safety in this section of the road,” said Michelle Mahovlich, City of Langford director of engineering. “When we fund by grant, we are

also saving taxpayers money.” The city applied for grants for three sections of road and secured one. The Millstream section in particular, a stretch with a lot of industrial traffic, would benefit cyclists the most, Mahovlich said. Langford is matching the provincial infrastructure grant for the project, which is seeing bike

lanes created on both sides of the road. As well, certain sections of the busy road are being widened to accommodate both bike and motor vehicle traffic. The BikeBC grant was one of 16 totalling $1.18 million that were given to 13 communities across the province and earmarked for cycling lanes, trails and paths.

“Construction started the second week of August and we are hoping to get it mostly done by the end of September,” Mahovlich said. “I’m looking forward to getting it done.” The only other CRD community to secure one of the grants was Salt Spring Island ($60,000). alim@goldstreamgazette.com

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Residents OK after mobile home fire

View Royal firefighters kept a mobile home fire on Cooper Road from spreading on Friday. “It was a deck that caught fire on the outside,” said Lt. Heath Bevan. “By the time the crews got there, it had started to work its way inside.” Firefighters controlled the blaze and extinguished it, leaving mostly exterior damage to the home and minimal damage to a motorhome that had been parked out front. No one was hurt and firefighters were able to rescue a dog from the main home. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

A backhoe works alongside soil being remediated on the former site of the pistol firing range in Thetis Lake Regional Park. The range area is being converted back into usable parkland.

United Way campaign kicking off soon

Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff

The United Way of Greater Victoria is launching its 2014 campaign next week with three lunchtime events, including a pop-up event in the heart of Langford on Sept. 18. The charity funding organization will be announcing its fundraising goal for the year at the main campaign kickoff Sept. 17, running from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Centennial Square in downtown Victoria. The event will feature music, food and beverages. The following day the campaign team comes to the Real Canadian Superstore in Langford and Esquimalt Country Grocer from 11:30 to 1 p.m. On Sept. 19, United Way reps are at Mayfair Mall for the lunchtime gathering. For more information, visit uwgv.ca.

Former pistol range being converted to parkland Thetis Lake Park being expanded Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Land once used as a firing range will soon become part of Thetis Lake Regional Park. Visitors to the Capital Regional District-operated park will soon be able to access more open space, following site remediation currently underway on a 0.75 hectare parcel, formerly the site of a firing range for police forces,

security companies and local gun clubs. “It’s been going on for a long time,” View Royal Coun. David Screech said of targeting the range area west of Highland Road for parkland. “Even before I was on council before 2002 … the need for clean up had been identified. It has just taken a long time, (but) we are actually going to do something with it now.” Remediation of the area involves excavating soil, dismantling the soil berms that were once fired upon and removing all

contaminated soil from the site. The project is costing the CRD $712,610 while $74,720 for the project is being provided through provincial grant money. Screech listed a couple of reasons for undertaking the project. “Number 1, the risk of contamination and runoff will be eliminated, which I think is important,” he said. “Also, the residents will be able to enjoy that area and use it as an open green space, which they (cannot really do) at the moment. That, to me, is the key benefit the neighbourhood will receive.”

The soil at the former “pistol park” was deemed contaminated by the province after it closed, due to the metals from bullets and casings found at the site. “As a town we are delighted to see it moving forward and get it completed. We’ve wanted to see it happen for many years,” Screech said. “We look forward to when the fences can come down and it can (finally) be opened up to people.” There was no firm timeline available for the project’s completion. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

The 47th annual Metchosin Day festivities drew thousands from all over the Greater Victoria area on Sunday, as people enjoyed the allday entertainment, relaxed on the hay rides and indulged in an abundance of

delectable goodies. The sweet smell of dried hay and cut grass filled the air, mingling with mouthwatering barbecue scents, bringing people in droves to the hot dog and hamburger stands. Many of the vendors offered up irresistible baked goods, including handmade breads and even some beer-

battered donuts. The pet show was a smashing success, with entrants taking away blue ribbons for Best Rural Pet, Best Costume, Most Unusual Pet and many more. Metchosin 4H club members were out in full force showing off their ducks, chickens and roosters. The Metchosin

West Shore news

… through the decades

Some issues just get residents riled up, as we found from this week’s look back through the decades in past pages of the Gazette: 10 years ago: In the middle of an already controversial special meeting called to move forward a bylaw on rainwater management, residents Doug Stevenson and Ron Houle got into a shouting match that saw Stevenson challenge Houle to step outside for a fight. At least one punch was thrown, and Stevenson left the area before RCMP arrived to sort things out. Also making the news in September of 2004: The Victoria Salsa is forced to share ice time at Bear Mountain Arena for a while with the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings, due to the delayed completion of Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre. And, proponents of the Goldstream Meadows project, which proposes 430 homes, a business park and a firehall or training facility for the Langford Lake area, make another pitch to council before a final decision is made.

20 years ago: A tricky section of the Trans Canada Highway known as “Suicide Corner” claims another victim, after a southbound pickup truck driven by Paul Pronk, 29, of Shawnigan Lake struck the tail end of a tractor trailer unit that had fishtailed out of control in the rain ahead of it near the entrance to Goldstream Park. Pronk was killed instantly, police said. Also making the news in September 1994: View Royal town council gives final approval for a major commercial and residential complex at Admirals and Hallowell roads. The only thing holding the project up now is the town’s sewer moratorium, preventing any project that increases the flow of sewage through its already straining pipes. And, the Luxton Fall Fair marks the 75th anniversary of its beginning with some special activities including a ceremony to honour life members of the Metchosin Farmer’s Institute. 30 years ago: The referendum date for View Royal’s incorporation question

is likely slated for mid-October. Despite pressure from residents who favour amalgamation with Esquimalt, that option is not likely to be on the ballot, since no clear decision would be achieved, Minister of Municipal Affairs Bill Ritchie said at an information meeting attended by around 200 people. Also making the news in September 1984: Colwood billiard parlour owner Paul “Buddy” DeVito refuses to remove five video machines from his establishment, despite being ordered to do so by Capital Regional District bylaw officers. The bylaw states arcades may not operate within 500 metres of a school. He argues that Buddy’s Place, located across from Ruth King elementary, is not an arcade but a billiard hall and is not legally subject to the bylaw. And, first baseman Rob Ekstrom, playing for a Greater Victoria team in the national under-21 baseball finals against Quebec, enjoys the thrill of his lifetime competing in an exhibition home run-hitting contest against four members of the Montreal Expos. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Sewage separation next logical step While many West Shore residents, not least of which Langford Mayor Stew Young, questioned giving control for sewage treatment to the Capital Regional District, it seemed for a while that the CRD was proceeding in a logical, if challenging direction to develop a plan linking the partners in the project. But over time, as the planning costs mounted and the uncertainty and fragility of locating the main treatment plant in Esquimalt became apparent, that public trust quickly fell apart. To many it seemed more and more that the CRD was flying by the seat of its pants. It comes as no surprise to us, then, that municipal politicians who sit at the CRD board table, and those who don’t, have already started looking at alternatives, such as doing studies on how their jurisdictions can meet provincial and federal government treatment requirements. Those alternatives also include teaming up with neighbouring municipalities. Esquimalt Mayor Barbara Desjardins indicated this week that some form of “West side” partnership might be more palatable to her residents than the previous mega-plant idea rejected for McLoughlin Point. Such a plan could include View Royal, Colwood and Langford with Esquimalt, with flows being treated at one plant or multiple smaller plants, given that Colwood has already started down its own road on treatment. Is the fact municipalities are scrambling to find alternatives a case which could have been avoided in a more amalgamated region? Perhaps. But that discussion is rather pointless, since sewage treatment has to get done first. Rather than laying blame for the regional project falling apart – the lack of a firm commitment for a main site was the largest of various troubling aspects of the project – we prefer to look at the current state of discussions as breathing fresh air into a process that had stagnated. The very real prospect facing taxpayers, however, is that funding from upper levels of government may disappear before smaller projects are decided upon. While it may be gratifying for residents to have more independence on such matters, that autonomy does not come without a cost. What do you think?

labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for selfdirected learning is Thomas Haney Secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

LETTERS

Strike provides more fodder Binding arbitration is the answer Why wouldn’t the province agree to binding arbitration at this point in the impossible teacher/government impasse? They’ve already given lip service to the idea of letting the class composition issues work their way through the courts. If Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender would do just that, the only significant things to arbitrate would be wages and benefits. Some people are worried that binding arbitration would end up costing the taxpayers mega dollars more than a negotiated settlement. But when each side realizes that inflated demands are very unlikely to be accepted, realistic demands become the order of the day. It would not cost more. The real cost to the tax payers is the number of kids who might fall through the cracks if the system continues to be underfunded. The government continues to use cut-and-paste, smokeand-mirrors political responses to blindside the public about how much they want the kids back in school. There is clearly no will on their part to back up what they sell to the public in the media. If they really want the kids back in school, they simply need to agree to

arbitration. It’s simple. Let’s get the kids back in school soon. Tom Cullen Langford

‘Socialist’-style rant rankles Gazette reader Re: Teacher’s strike a sad affair (Letters, Aug. 22) Giving $40 per child under 13 to help parents cope with daycare, etc. is not a bribe. The minister is trying to resolve this dispute without arbitration. Concern over corporations taking over transit, schools and hospitals is only socialist fear mongering. Free enterprise in the U.S. sees schools, highway road and maintenance, and hospitals state-run. Some hospitals are built by corporations which supply the land and buildings with their equipment. Do you frown on Bill Gates, what he donates in the world, or Warren Buffett? Sure, this government has made mistakes (HST and B.C. Rail fiasco). But I would sooner take a Canadian government’s mistakes than in a socialistcommunist country, period. Next month legislate the teachers back to work. Striking during final exams and graduation is dirty union pool and a no brainer. Knut A. Krogstad Langford

Call in essential service clause to end strike Although I understand and support what the B.C.Teachers’ Federation is fighting for, I strongly believe that bankrupting teachers and denying children their legal right to a public education, while waiting for a court ruling is causing far more harm than there could ever be future good. It is the children’s best interests I am most concerned about and their legal right to a public education is being denied indefinitely. Public education under the School Act was made an essential service under the B.C. Labour Relations Act, section 72 (1)(a) (ii). This “dispute poses a threat to the provision of educational programs to students and eligible children under the School Act” 72 (2.1)(b). Parents need to call on the Minister of Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training and the Minister of Labour to follow this B.C. Labour Relations Act law and direct the Labour Relations Board to designate the “productions and services” of daily educational instruction for Kindergarten to Grade 12 programs as an essential service during this dispute and while negotiations are ongoing. Lara Allsopp Langford

Ask the Expert

Q: How do I choose a Funeral Home A: To some extent, the public does not always understand or appreciate the

many tasks associated with arranging for the final disposition of human remains and coordinating a meaningful ceremony for the deceased. A funeral director can be involved with completing numerous tasks which can occupy up to 80 hours of time. The services and human resources of a funeral home are continuously available 24 hours per day, answering calls that come at the ring of a telephone or the sound of a doorbell. When choosing a funeral home, there are guideposts to steer by to help you with your decision making.

• • • • • • • •

Have you met the funeral director in your community? Take a tour of the funeral home. Is the Funeral home, clean, well maintained, and comfortable? Did the staff make you feel welcomed, understood and safe? Do you know their personal and professional reputation? How long have they been serving their community? What has been the experience of relatives, friends and neighbours? Is the funeral home a full service facility and able to handle all of your needs (chapel, visitation room, reception and catering facilities, parking, licensed staff etc.)? • Is the funeral home a member in good standing with the Funeral Service Association? Please email me (jeevans@arbormemorial.com) your questions and/or concerns about anything and everything to do with before and after death procedures, legalities, traditions etc. and I will do my best to answer them.

All aboard! Victoria Model Railway Club member Stewart Clark watches a pair of trains under his control with a high-tech electronic remote during the annual model railway show at the Juan de Fuca curling rink. The event saw the club set up a large display and track while other hobbyists and commercial ventures had booths and tables set up for the public to check out. Despite a hot late-summer day outside, the show attracted a good crowd, Clark said.

Fall show promises riot of colour In late summer and fall, much of the available local produce comes in some shade of orange or green. From pumpkins and zucchini to tomatoes and gourds of all shapes and sizes, nature’s bounty is plentiful this time of year. That growth is not limited to edible produce, as members of the View Royal Garden Club can attest. The club is hosting its annual fall exhibit, sale and judged competition of flowers, vegetables and fruits this Saturday (Sept. 13) at Shoreline Community School, 2750 Shoreline Dr. “This is one of our biggest shows of the year,” said Colwood resident and club member Maureen Thompson, who plans to enter her giant fringed dahlias in the cut flowers section of the competition. “The public is also welcome to exhibit their roses and other late summer plants,” she said. Besides taking part in the judged portion of the show, many club members will also have baked goods and a variety of planted perennial cuttings in pots for sale. The show runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at the school. Admission is $5 and includes refreshments and eligibility for door prizes. For more information on the show or the club in general, visit viewroyalgardenclub.wordpress.com or call 250-478-5880 or 250-479-7123. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Reader Photo of the Week Langford resident Beth Rand took this photo illustrating the serenity of Florence Lake on her way home from work one day earlier this summer. The mists hanging in the trees, along with the contemplative visitor at the end of the dock, caught our attention and prompted us to select her shot from amongst a solid group of submissions. Rand, who lives on Florence Lake Road and works professionally as a photographer, enjoys scenes like this one at various times during the year.

Teacher’s vote is a ploy: Fassbender Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s striking teachers vote today (Sept. 10) on the union’s proposal to take their long-running dispute with the province to binding arbitration, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said Monday. The BCTF is willing to send not only its wage and benefit demands, but its proposal for class size and special needs support to an independent arbitrator, Iker said. The BCTF wants $225 million a year to improve classroom conditions, spent only on new teachers, as an interim solution while a court challenge is heard. The government has budgeted $75 million a year, some of which goes to teaching assistants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The B.C. government rejected arbitration on the weekend after it was presented Friday by Iker, as the strike went into a second week of the new school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he would not hand the budget implications of a union settlement over to a third party. He reiterated that position Monday, calling the move “a ploy” by the union. “Arbitration is not something this government is going to consider,” he said.

Iker said a yes vote will give certainty to the union’s position, adding binding arbitration is the “easiest way” to get schools open again. NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government Monday to make the “unprecedented” move to accept arbitration. If the government is secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, he said, it should have no concern about the results. “We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s time we put an end to it,” Horgan said. Asked if he would support raising taxes to pay for a new deal with the province’s 40,000 public school teachers, Horgan said the budget has contingency funds to cover unexpected costs. “If it was good enough for doctors, it should be good enough for teachers,” he said, referring to a 2002 arbitration that resulted in $400 million in increased doctor fees. NDP education critic Rob Fleming said an essential service ruling by the Labour Relations Board to reopen schools isn’t likely to offer a quick solution. The board views the fall strike as separate from the long teacher work-to-rule campaign and two weeks of closed schools last June, and so far neither side has applied for such a ruling, he said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson and Dr. Chris Snow

Children’s Eyewear Care: A primer for parents So your child is the proud owner of a pair of glasses! You should be aware that those glasses, at any given time, could be knocked to the floor, stepped on, sat on, squished in the bottom of a backpack, or even used as a sling shot. To ensure your child understands how important it is to treat his or her eyewear responsibly, here are other ideas to prolong the life of a pair of glasses: Make it an open and shut case. When the glasses aren’t in use, keep them safely tucked inside a hard case, marked with the child’s name and telephone number. Be a clean freak. Lenses should be cleaned at least once a day with warm soapy water or an appropriate lens cleaner – never wipe your lenses when they are dry! Jump in with both hands. Remind your child never to remove his or her glasses with only one hand – this is often the cause of many a misaligned and uncomfortable frame. Get adjusted. Glasses that stay in good shape are glasses that are readjusted from time to time, particularly if pressure marks appear on your child’s nose or behind his or her ears. And here’s a piece of good news: today’s eyeglasses are sturdier than ever, and meant to withstand general wear and tear.

Hesjedal’s climbing skills serve him well Pair of solid finishes for pro cyclist move him up in standings Colwood-raised Ryder Hesjedal showed his intense stamina and climbing ability over the weekend by winning the mountainous 14th stage on the Vuelta a España pro road cycling race in Spain. Hesjedal, who had edged away from the small lead group with about two kilometres to go, was overtaken briefly in the final climb to La Camperona by Oliver Zaugg of Switzerland. The Canadian gutted it out in the final 200 metres, overtaking an

Hesjedal, who won the Giro d’Italia in 2012 and was fifth in the 2010 Tour de France, posted his other stage win in the 2009 Vuelta. The three races make up cycling’s Grand Tour. Combined with a 10th-place finish in Stage 16, La Farrapona, on Monday and a 36th-place effort in Stage 15 the day before, Hesjedal sat 24th overall, 40:22 behind leader Alberto Contador, who won Monday’s stage.

Rebels get a third chance to tame football Broncos This Saturday’s game could be last of season at Westhills Having been ridden roughshod over last weekend by the Kamloops Broncos at Westhills Stadium, the Westshore Rebels have a rare opportunity to even things up at home this Saturday. The Broncos, 42-14 winners in the teams’ B.C. Football Conference game last Saturday, must travel to Langford again for the teams’ third matchup of the season under the league’s unbalanced schedule. The Rebels also play Valley Huskers three times, but meet BCFC powerhouses Okanagan and Langley only once. A win at home over Kamloops has important playoff implica-

tions for the fifth-place Rebels (2-4), with the Vancouver Island Raiders now 3-3 holding down the fourth and final playoff spot after beating the Huskers 81-6 last weekend. The Rebels’ final three regular season games are on the road. Quarterback Hunter Lake ran in a four-yard touchdown and threw an eight-yard TD pass to Jordan Rodinsky to account for most of the Rebels scoring last Saturday. Lake struggled to find open receivers in the Kamloops secondary, completing just 13 of 35 passes on the day for 157 yards. The Broncos built quarter

leads of 10-0 and 24-7, racking up 553 yards of total offence to the Rebels’ 218. Kamloops QB Connor Whitelaw spread the ball around well, connecting on 16 of 30 passes for 337 yards and firing four TD passes to four different receivers. This Saturday’s game, potentially the last of the season at home for the Rebels, kicks off at 3 p.m. at Westhills Stadium. The team’s alumni will be honoured in a special ceremony and toys will be collected from the crowd for Santa’s Anonymous.

’Cats keep busy in off-season Baseball club hires pitching coach Kevin Laird News staff

You’d never know the Victoria HarbourCats are on hiatus. A month since the West Coast League baseball team season ended it’s made several major announcements – and those don’t include hiring new head coach Graig Merritt on Aug. 14. Players Alex DeGoti and Hunter Mercado-

Hood were named to the league’s all-star team, while honourable mentions were given to Gabe Clark, Nathan Lukes and Mikey Wright. The ’Cats have also hired Alec Adame as pitching coach for the 2015 season. Adame and Merritt played together at Chico State and helped that school win a NCAA Division 2 championship in 1999, and their paths have continued to cross as MLB scouts. The team has also re-signed three players for the 2015 season: pitchers Alex Rogers and Alex FaGalde and infielder Griffin Andrey-

Olympic rower guest speaker at annual Vikes Championship Breakfast Three-time Olympic rower Darcy Marquardt has been announced

as the keynote speaker for the University of Victoria’s seventh

Vikes Championship Breakfast on Sept. 30. Marquardt starred

BUDGET 2015 CONSULTATIONS

for the Vikes from 1999 to 2002 and won Olympic silver

SELECT STANDING COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND GOVERNMENT SERVICES Chair: Dan Ashton, MLA (Penticton)

What are your priorities for the next provincial budget? The all-party Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services will be holding province-wide public consultations on the next provincial budget. British Columbians are invited to participate by attending one of 17 public hearings or by making a written submission, sending an audio or video file, or completing an online survey.

W E W A N T T O H E A R F R O M YO U ! The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 17, 2014. To register to appear at a public hearing or for more information, please visit our website at: www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance or contact: Parliamentary Committees Office, Room 224, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, BC V8V 1X4; tel: 250.356.2933, or toll-free in BC: 1.877.428.8337; fax: 250.356.8172; e-mail: FinanceCommittee@leg.bc.ca Susan Sourial, Committee Clerk

as a member of the women’s eight at the 2012 Summer Games. The list of past speakers is a great one, as the Championship Breakfast has raised more than $2.4 million for student-athlete financial awards. “Student-athletes balance a lot on their plates between studies, training and competition,” said Marquardt, who draws from her experience as a lifeguard at Saanich Commonwealth Place from 2000 to 2005. “Financial awards allow (students) to

balance a little less on their plates and alleviate the financial stress,” she said. “Maybe they can work fewer hours at a part-time job or not at all, which allows them to feel successful in their studies and their varsity sport.” Marquardt started with the Vikes novice program in 1997 and made the Canadian national team by 2002. She won gold at the Canadian University Championships in 2001 in women’s pair and eight, was part of Rowing Canada’s

Crew of the Year and won multiple Royal Canadian Henley golds. UVic matches the first $200,000 raised by the Championship Breakfast. Marquardt joins a prestigious list of past keynote speakers, including Canada’s most decorated Paralympian, swimmer Stephanie Dixon, and acclaimed author Dr. Paul E. Zehr.

Wolves’ offence explodes vs. Panthers

Kyle Richter scored twice and Duncan Cochrane had a goal and two assists to lead the Westshore Wolves to an 8-2 rout of the Peninsula Panthers in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action Friday in North Saanich.
