This week’s inaugural totem raising marks a significant step forward for university Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

A once fallen cedar will stand once more. Royal Roads University’s 75th anniversary celebrations continued this week with the raising of a 25-foot tall totem pole welcoming students, faculty and the community to the national historic site, with the open arms of a man and the open wings of an eagle. Wayne Standlund, who commissioned and gifted the totem Arnold lim to the school, said the artwork represents Reporting everything the longstanding university stands for. “The university is a place of great love (for me). I wanted to leave them with something that was meaningful and consistent with all the virtues and principals of the university,” he said. “I was pleased the university allowed me to do this.” The pole, which cost more than $30,000 to commission and erect, not to mention hundreds of hours of carving under the skilled hands, watchful

eye and sharpened blades of carver Tom LaFortune, is a symbolic gift also reflecting what the university means to the community. Strandlund said it was aptly named Harmony. “Harmony is one of many things RRU is all about. It is really a community event and all universities are communities, but at RRU we are the stewards of roughly 600 acres of the most beautiful land,” he said. “Stewards are people who take care of that land; take care of all the people associated with it who visit, come to study and teach.” Exactly 25 feet tall and 21.5 inches across, it’s made of a single wind-fallen, second-growth red cedar from the forest in Royal Roads University, dragged into the boathouse near Esquimalt Lagoon for LaFortune and his nephew, Howard LaFortune, to whittle down. The totem ended up being five pieces: the main pole, made up of a single tree from top to bottom; the two arms added for the welcome figure near the bottom of the pole, and the two wings for the eagle at the top. “When people ask me how long it took me, I tell them 42 years because that is the time it took me to become the carver I am today,” LaFortune said.

WorkLink program looks past so-called disabilities WorkLink helps secure jobs for diverse group Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Mack LaPlante isn’t supposed to be working today, but he’s scrubbing the sink anyway. Unable to take a last-minute shift at Glenwood Meats this evening, the 20-year-old Colwood resident says he feels bad about the predicament, so he scrubs and sprays, donning blue gloves and an apron prepping for a maintenance crew coming in later in the day. His boss and store owner Rick Fisher says, LaPlante has become a welcome member of the team. “We enjoy having (Mack) around, he is good to get along with, very polite, and like I say, he gets along with everyone ... just an all-around great guy,” Fisher said. “Just the fact that he is born with a little bit of what we could call a ‘disability,’ I look at him and see all kinds of things going for him that other kids don’t have. For some reason, certain people are classified in a different category. (Mack) is great.” Fisher hired LaPlante through WorkLink, a Work BC employment service centre, and their Supported Employment program. The program works with those with challenges, or identifying as someone with ‘diverse abilities’ including LaPlante, who describes himself as a high-functioning autistic. The West Shore resident, who bikes to Glenwood Meats three times a week for the part-time job, said finding work has been challenging. He credits Fisher for giv-

ing him the opportunity and those from WorkLink, who he said go above and beyond to make a difference for himself and others. “It’s hard for a young person who hasn’t been to any postsecondary to find a job, even if it’s just some part-time labour,” LaPlante said. “If you need a job (employers want) experience (but) if you need experience you need a job. At WorkLink they part the waves and give you a direct entrance.”

“For some reason, certain people are classified in a different category.” -Rick Fisher, owner Glenwood Meats

WorkLink’s Kim Dillon, a job coach for the program, said Mack is not alone. The West Shore community, where many of the clients are from, have been an invaluable partner in making a difference, she said. “It’s just neat to hear people feeling like they can be included and enjoy the self-esteem and status that goes along with a paycheque,” Dillon said. “Work is so much more than work, it’s our reason to get up in the morning and it can tell us we are people and we are worth it. It is neat to see the confidence that blossoms from the people we serve.” She said businesses large and small have rallied behind the 30 to 50 clients the program serves – from those identifying with diverse abilities, including autism, mental health challenges, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, to

Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff

Colwood resident Mack LaPlante scrubs the kitchen sink at Glenwood Meats where he secured a job through a program at WorkLink that helps those with diverse abilities find jobs. those living with addictions and looking to overcome adversity. “The reason our program is so successful is because we do a ton of background work with people we serve. We spend hours and hours with them and get to know what makes them shine as an individual and the support needs they have, so they can be an asset to the employer,” Dillon said. “That takes time.” On top of Glenwood Meats, she said local businesses, from Royal Bay Bakery, Evedar’s Bistro and Pilgrim Coffee to larger outfits such as A&W, Westshore Town Centre, Quality Foods, Win-

ners Homesense, Sooke Home Hardware, Designer Shoe Warehouse, Mark’s Work Wearhouse and M’akola ILBC Housing Society, Jesken Aerie are among many they partner with to place those looking for work. “To be honest, most employers like the idea that they get a hard-working, loyal person who really appreciates the job and the chance to work,” Dillon said. “The other thing that is really wonderful is the people on the ground, the front-line workers ... (they) often feel more invested in the company they work for when that company values inclusion

and diversity in the workplace, so it can really raise morale.” Laplante said for him, it is about roots. “Trying to get a job with (just) a resume is quite difficult,” he said. “We should all be very thankful there are all these opportunities and organizations that are willing to lend people a hand. That lets me dig my roots in there, lets me make sure I have my foot in the door and lets me know I have more of a fighting opportunity. I really appreciate that; I like that I have my job here and it’s because of them.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Fall is bear sighting season, West Shore no exception Proximity to Colwood schools causes some concerns Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

It wasn’t Yogi Bear teaming with Boo Boo to raid the lunches of Royal Bay students in Colwood. But the sighting of what was believed to be a mother bear with her yearling cub, in a forested area near the school recently, caused some concern about the proximity to the school. West Shore RCMP initially responded to reports of

sightings in the area near Wishart Road and Rockwood Terrace just before school began, and a team of conservation officers with dogs were called in to track the animals. Other schools in the area were also notified. Officials managed to locate the two bears, but not before they climbed over 60 feet up a tree in the forested area at the back of the former gravel pit. “There’s a million things that could go wrong when you try to tranquilize an animal,” Peter Pauwels, regional conservation officer, said during the exercise. Since the bears were so far up the tree and there were so few branches to help cushion their fall, officers didn’t want to risk seriously injuring the animals, he said. “We’re going

to give them a chance to leave the area on their own.” He thought it was most likely the bears wandered into the area from Metchosin. “If it goes back that way we may never hear from them again.” Pauwels said fall is always the busiest time of year for bear sightings. With the animals trying to put on as much weight as possible before winter, he said, bears are often drawn to residential areas because of fruit trees in backyards. Bears are also more mobile this time of year, he added, as they try to find dens to hunker down in to weather the colder months. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

The power of social media Metchosin rally organizers knew going in that Prime Minister Harper wouldn’t be in town Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Carver Tom LaFortune works on the totem pole project he ultimately titled Harmony, in a shed near the waterfront on the Royal Roads University lands. The project was undertaken as a way of celebrating the school’s 75th anniversary in Colwood.

Carving process shared with community Continued from Page A1

“It was a lot of fun doing it … A lot of the community, they were down here every day to watch it being made ... Sharing is a big part of it.” The totem features a frog, representing a spirit guardian, underneath a welcome figure with open arms perched

under an owl, representing vision and wisdom which many students come to the school to seek. Above the owl sit three rings, each representing a quarter century of the school’s changing lives as a university. At the top of the pole is an eagle, the overseer, represent-

ing strength and spreading its wings to offer protection. It is the first totem pole to grace the university’s grounds. “We took a tree that was dead and was going to rot and put it in the boathouse and began bringing it back to life,” LaFortune said. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE FOR

Cowichan—Malahat—Langford

ON OCT. 19 TH VOTE GREEN Elect Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi “As a successful small business owner who is passionate about strengthening our community, I know it is possible to create good local jobs while defending the water, air, and land that sustains us."

STANDING UP FOR OUR COAST. Because We Live Here.

Authorized by the official agent of Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi.

Social media can be a powerful tool. Ask anyone running for public office. The recent protest rally in Metchosin, the one at which many of the 150-odd people in attendance truly believed Prime Minister Stephen Harper would be in the area that day for a Conservative Party fundraiser, saw its numbers soar primarily through the promotion on Facebook of what local party workers say was a rumour-based invitation. Teresa Sullivan, campaign manager for Conservative candidate Shari Lukens in the Esquimalt-SaanichSooke riding, was notified by a fellow party supporter a couple of days before the event of the presence of a Facebook event invite page, announcing that Harper would be in Metchosin for a private fundraiser. She found it curious that she and the source had heard nothing about the PM coming to town. “I was surprised, first and foremost, then I got concerned that people might be looking to crash the fundraiser,” she said. Sullivan confirmed that the fundraiser, a joint event for Lukens’ riding and the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding, did in fact happen on Oct. 3. She stressed, however, that “the prime minister doesn’t attend fun-

draising events” and added the that the prime minister’s public events are announced via media advisory. Metchosin resident Wendy Mitchell, one of the organizers of the event, said word came down from “a reliable source” the week before that Harper was “going to be flying in for a very quiet Conservative fundraiser” at a private residence in the district. By the Friday (Oct. 2), it was clear that the PM would not be attending the event, but organizers didn’t want to stop a respectful gathering of likeminded people, Mitchell said. “The whole thing took on its own legs,” she said, adding of her group, that “we all knew that we were not going to see anyone, at least not on the ground here.” Based on the fact many people already knew Harper would not be in Metchosin that day, Sullivan said the Gazette’s headline, “Prime minister noshow for his own party,” was erroneous. “Everybody has a right to peaceful protest,” she said, “but this was not about the protesters. It was respectful freedom of expression.” But as Gazette reporter Katherine Engqvist and Mitchell both discovered, a number of people, many of whom came from up-Island, were still fully expecting the prime minister to be in Metchosin that day. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Hear the beep while you sleep Children most likely to sleep through smoke alarms Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Last week happened to be fire prevention week across North America. But for most firefighters, every week is fire prevention week, because they know all too well what can happen when a fire goes undetected in a home. Langford Fire Rescue hosted their annual open house on Oct. 4 and spent the remainder of the week visiting local schools and reminding children how to stay safe. Paul Obersteller, a Langford firefighter and safety inspector, said the most obvious device for keeping your family safe is often overlooked. He could not stress enough how important it is to make sure smoke detectors are working correctly. “People don’t think about them until something goes wrong,” he said. “It’s not the fire that kills people; it’s the smoke that kills.” On average, eight people die in fires every week in Canada, with residential fires accounting for 73 per cent of the fatalities. On average, one British Columbian is injured by fire every 44 hours. Obersteller said new building codes require working smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside of common sleeping areas and on every level of a house. He also added that most alarms can now be connected so when one goes off they all go off. The push for more alarms, he said, was because often people sleep through alarms and a number of people sleep with their bedroom doors closed. He said children are especially likely to sleep through alarms because they don’t know what they sound like. He suggested that smoke alarms should be tested every month, even those that are wired into a home, and batteries should be changed twice a year. A good way to remember to change the batteries, he said, is to do them every time the clocks change, which is next month. Smoke alarms should also be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacture. Between 2009 and 2014, dead batteries were found in smoke detectors involved in 302 residential fires, according to B.C.’s Office of the Fire Commissioner. Thirty-nine people were injured and seven were killed in those fires. Research from the Fire Chief’s Association of British Columbia suggests that fatality rates rise 74 per cent when a working smoke alarm is not present. “That’s why we’re always pushing,” said Obersteller. He warned there is also another alarm that is often overlooked by homeowners. Carbon monoxide alarms are also an important component to keeping a home safe and Obersteller recommended a separate device that could be placed next to smoke alarms. He said on the day of their open house they were called to a residence after the carbon monoxide alarm went off. “It was actually leaking into the trailer,” from the meter outside, he said. While the owner had been complaining about not feeling well, Obersteller said they hadn’t realized something was wrong until the alarm went off. “When they go off you need to get out of the house,” he said. “They’re very sensitive.” In this case, the residents were lucky, and working alarms likely saved their lives. Obersteller said if Langford residents cannot afford smoke alarms they can be provided. He also said the city’s fire prevention division is happy to answer any questions or take a look at any devices that may not be working correctly. He noted this applies to all West Shore departments, not just Langford. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

The importance of eye care Vision is one of our most valuable assets. Most people take their sight for granted and yet almost everything we do in life depends on it. Maintaining eye health and vision is an important part of our health care system. Having regular eye exams by a doctor of optometry can ensure that not only is your vision functioning properly, but also, that your eyes are healthy. Many health problems can be detected through the eyes. For example, diabetic patients should have yearly eye exams to rule out damage to the back of the eyes, because loss of vision can result if left untreated. During the eye exam, the optometrist will determine if corrective lenses would significantly improve your vision. Often people, who have never had an eye exam, do not realize what they are missing.This is particularly true of children. The optometrist can put all doubts aside, and if corrective lenses are required, a prescription will be provided to meet your specific vision requirements. A visit to the optometrist will ensure your vision and eye health remain at their best.

Colwood park receives architectural marvel City has bigger plans for Kelly Road beautification in works Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Herm Williams Park on Kelly Road in Colwood is about to get a designer touch with a history. Work began last week to ready the area for the installation of two pergolas designed by renowned local architect John Di Castri. He’s known for his work on many iconic buildings in Victoria and the University of Victoria’s campus, as well as 446 Goldstream Ave., the recently refurbished house that is now home to Nexx Financial. While Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton said plans for the final design haven’t quite been finalized, she was sure the covered archways would be a great feature for the area. They may also look familiar to residents, as they were originally installed at the entrance to the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria, but were removed renovation. “We’re happy to be the recipients,” Hamilton said.

An artistic rendering shows what pergolas designed by renowned local architect John Di Castri could look like once they are installed at their new home in Herm Williams Park on Kelly Road in Colwood. Colwood residents were given the opportunity to voice their views on where and how the pergolas should be placed back in the spring. Herm Williams Park was eventually cho-

sen as a preferred location due to its central location, visibility and proximity to other popular amenities. Some tentative plans will see the structures installed in a small plaza

with seating and landscaping. Hamilton said they were also considering the option of adding a water park at a future date. Barring unforeseen events, she added, the pergolas should be in place by midOctober, with some design aspects left until next year. “It’s going to be exciting and a bit of a change there.” But these are just the first steps in a much bigger plan for Kelly Road, as the City is working on a plan to revitalize the busy corridor between Langford and Colwood. “We want to spruce that up for residents,” Hamilton said, adding that Colwood wants to work closely with the public to develop a plan that also addresses safety concerns. No start date is scheduled for that work yet, but it will likely be tied in with the installation of sewer lines along the road, to help minimize both cost and disruption.

OUR VIEW

October is a special month We wonder if our readers feel inundated with requests to donate funds, or with stories about various health-related charitable causes (we’ve got a few in this issue alone). If so, it’s no surprise. A quick count of health promotion days listed for October on Health Canada’s website found 36 separate days, weeks or the whole month dedicated to raising awareness and/or funds for a particular group, initiative or medical research and support. One would have to be living under a rock to not know this is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month – the pink apparel everywhere is a giveaway. Mental Health Awareness Week just wrapped up, and ADHD Awareness Week is just getting underway. These specially designated time periods run from the obvious – Canadian Patient Safety Week springs to mind – to the specific, such as International Stuttering Awareness Day or Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. Those who have given in past find themselves receiving personally addressed letters in the mail, either electronically or printed, from charities you may never have even heard of. Fundraising for research into diseases or to support people suffering the effects of certain health conditions or illnesses is a challenging business these days. Groups more often look to public campaigns, with general reductions in support from the various levels of government. From a potential donor’s standpoint, choosing which organization(s) to help can be a bit mind-boggling. We’re certain that the multiple choices and the number of “asks” that happen frequently in our lives becomes overwhelming for some people – they simply determine to block out all requests and not give to any of them. But everyone has the ability to give, no matter if it’s a few dollars, or a few hundred. And for people who insist that financial giving is not an option, perhaps volunteering for a charitable organization is. Find a charity or nonprofit group that works for you and you’ll feel great for the giving. Making a positive choice always feels better than not making one at all. What do you think?

Code,” which attempted to micromanage all details of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site. In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006. During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land. Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letters to the Editor

Rezoning pressure plagues Colwood Re: Municipal democracy suffering (Letters, Oct. 7) Further to the letter submitted by Ken Gray of Colwood, we too have experienced the “we like high density living” response when calling to voice concern over massive development in our neighbourhood. It seems the mandate of city management is to push back against input from their constituents with their own tax-producing considerations. Who are they serving? We see immense rezoning pressure on the few small, unique oceanside land parcels presently undeveloped in the buffer

Perhaps Sobeys could be talked into giving up a part of the old Belmont school property where the skateboard park is, to be a sewage plant. Remember all this talk, money and search is because the mayor of Esquimalt didn’t want it in her back yard. Had she said yes to it, we

would have a sewage plant up and running now. Dave Wing Langford Editor’s note: Esquimalt council voted to reject rezoning the McLaughlin Point property for the sewage plant, after an often heated two-day public hearing.

Colwood fundraiser benefits South African students International internship opportunities Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Basic education is often taken for granted in Canada. But it is not something taken lightly by one Victoria-based grassroots organization. As a project of the Victoria International Development Education Association (VIDEA), Ukulapha Community Outreach is raising money for and building educationrelated infrastructures in the small township of Slangspruit in South Africa. Ukulapha founder, Carolyn Burns, said many of the students are orphans who have lost parents to diseases like AIDS and tuberculosis. “It’s a very improvised area,” Burns said but programs like their’s are helping to improve resources in the area. “We have a much further reach at the school. We not only touch the children but also the community.” To help fund all of this work, Ukulapha is hosting its fourth annual I See Hope fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 16, at the Royal Colwood Golf Club. The evening will kick off around 6:30 p.m. with a silent auction while guests mingle and sip wine from an Okanagan vineyard. A gala buffet will be served just after 7 p.m.,

Children in the township of Slangspruit in South Africa will be benefiting from funds raised at the fourth annual I See Hope fundraiser at the Royal Colwood Golf Club on Oct. 16. followed by desserts and a live auction. Victoria resident Burns said there are a number of fabulous items in both auctions, including a seven-night cruse for two to Tahiti. The night will end with a performance by The Legends, playing rock and roll favourites from the 1950s to the 1990s.

“We’re hoping to raise as much as possible,” she said, promising the night to be a memorable one. “This is for the children.” Ukulapha, named for the Zulu word for “healing,” has been building relationships in the Slangspruit township by focusing its work around the area’s school, which supports more than 1,000 students.

It also partnered with another Canadian group to introduce a nutrition program at the school which provides younger students with a glass of milk in the morning and includes a protein for all children with their midday meal. “For a lot of the children, it could be be the only meal they get in the day,” Burns said. Besides working with the school’s committed teachers and principal, she said, Ukulapha is also developing a computer centre to engage the community, part of a bigger plan for the building. But Ukulapha isn’t just providing opportunities for students overseas. They also host Canadian interns for six months at a time to work in the Slangspruit township, through VIDEA, and are currently accepting applications from anyone under the age of 30. “It’s really cool. It makes a huge difference at the school,” Burns said. Tickets for the gala are still available and cost $95 per person.

Pension benefits improved

OF THE WEEK

New standards governing workplace pension plans took effect last month and are meant to improve pension coverage options and security for more than 900,000 British Columbians covered by employer sponsored pension plans. The new Pension Benefits Standards Act accommodates alternative plan designs such as target benefit plans and plans that are jointly-sponsored by employers and employees. It is meant to also improve plan governance by strengthening disclosure requirements and requires all plans to be covered by a governance policy. It also provides former plan members with greater access to locked-in retirement accounts or locked-in life income funds. These

funds may now be accessed for reasons of financial hardship in certain circumstances and an annual limit on withdrawn funds will be applied. Dale Collins owner of Prosperity Planning in Langford said she’s had several occasions where a client has become ill and cannot access their locked in RRSP, which can be very frustrating and limiting. She said anytime there is more options for West Shore employers to offer pension plans it’s a benefit, adding that hardworking families need help saving for retirement. This new act applies to all employment pension plans registered in B.C. as well as plans registered elsewhere that have members employed in the province. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Conconi Family Matching Donations to BC Cancer Foundation up to $1 Million Supporting a Monumental Leap in Cancer Treatment B.C.’s Conconi family is matching gifts made to the BC Cancer Foundation up to $1 million in support of an innovative new cancer treatment for B.C. patients. Robert Conconi believes he owes his life to cancer research and the hard working scientists and clinicians at the BC Cancer Agency after successful cancer treatments years ago. It was his eldest son Alex who drew the family’s attention to immunotherapy, an emerging area that’s been hailed as the most promising advancement in cancer care since chemotherapy.

The approach is to enhance the body’s natural potential to eliminate cancer in much the same way it wards off the common cold or flu. “We believe immunotherapy is the most promising and highly personalized new cancer treatment in development,” said Alex Conconi of the family’s commitment to match donations to the BC Cancer Foundation dollar-for-dollar up to an incredible $1 million. A specific form of immunotherapy—Adoptive T cell Therapy—has been in development at the BC

The end goal of T cell therapy is to launch a massive attack that destroys every remaining cancer cell in the patient’s body. Cancer Agency’s Deeley Research Centre over the past decade under the leadership of Dr. Brad Nelson. The research team is in final preparations for clin-

The Conconi family will match gifts until October 22, 2015 to help launch clinical trials for a made-in-B.C. immunotherapy approach to cancer treatment. Visit bccancerfoundation.com/matchgift to make a gift online today. bccancerfoundation.com | @bccancer The BC Cancer Foundation is the direct fundraising partner of the BC Cancer Agency and the largest funder of cancer research in B.C.

ical trials, which will entail collecting, activating and expanding a patient’s own tumour-reactive T cells and infusing massive quantities of them back into the patient’s bloodstream. Dr. Nelson explained: “Each patient involved in the Agency’s immunotherapy clinical trial will have a custom treatment developed using T cells from their own body. The end goal of T cell therapy is to launch a massive attack that destroys every remaining cancer cell in the patient’s body.” The clinical trials rely on significant philanthropic funds to support the de-

velopment of each custom T cell therapy. Over 25,000 British Columbians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and many individuals will face advanced or recurrent disease for which immunotherapy could one day provide a new treatment option. Dr. Anna Tinker, medical oncologist at the BC Cancer Agency will be running the Adoptive T Cell Therapy clinical trial. She said, “The hope for all of us is to be able to offer highly effective treatments to help people live better and longer.”

Belmont, Royal Bay seeing new enthusiasm for volleyball West Shore sides’ coaches each pleased with growth Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

It’s amazing what a colossal new gym and a handful of enthusiastic players can do for a school sports program. Belmont boys volleyball is a case in point. With most undergrad players from last year’s senior team moving over to Royal Bay this season, Bulldogs coach Kris Walushka was uncertain whether there would even be a program at his school. “Coming out of the summer, I thought that we’d have no teams,” he said. “I had an open (workout) in the last week of the summer and one guy came and that’s when I thought no one was coming. But then we just had a bunch of basketball guys who were always in this gym … guys just like playing the game, I can’t explain why.” Three weeks into the schedule, Belmont has a junior and a senior team. “We have a couple of guys from the juniors who have been playing (up), but we have enough seniors now that we could play all seniors if we wanted to.” You’d never know from watching the opening sets in last Wednesday’s city league play

at Belmont that this program pretty much started from scratch in early September. The Bulldogs, whose newbees jumped in with both feet in week 1 playing current B.C. AAA No. 8-ranked Oak Bay, Pacific Christian (B.C. No. 7 in AA) and always tough Reynolds, showed improvement and patience in week 3 by hanging with the far more experienced Royal Bay side. The Ravens had to work hard to win both games, taking each by just a handful of points. While Grade 12 middle Zack Claus is the lone returning senior for the Bulldogs, Walushka and cocoach Jaxson Creasey are excited about how word-of-mouth among friends, and adventurous basketball players hanging around the gym have helped boost the numbers. While Oak Bay (18-0 in sets won/lost), Claremont (14-4) and Reynolds (11-5) are off to a good start among the AAA teams in the city, as is Nanaimo’s Dover Bay (No. 5 last week in B.C.) in the north, the Bulldogs (3-13) are fourth in the city. Walushka said making Islands should be doable for the Bulldogs, whose gym hosts

Belmont’s Tyler Hardy spikes the ball against a block from Royal Bay’s Davino Shumard in league pay at Belmont last week. The fledgling Ravens won the match 2-0. the AAA Lower Islands Nov. 9. “I think top four in the Islands would be a good goal,” he said, adding, “it’s going to be tough to beat a couple of those teams.” “There’s so much

potential,” said Creasey, who helped coach the past two years, when the roster was filled with experienced players. “It definitely fun having the start in a new school. It’s a much

different group this year.” Added Walushka: “The sky’s the limit.” Belmont is at Stelly’s today (Oct. 14) for a play day against Lambrick Park, Mount Doug and the host team. Meanwhile the Ravens’ Kris Johnson, who, like many former Belmont teachers and coaches moved over to Royal Bay to start the year, is also excited about her team’s prospects for the season. As a slightly smaller school, Royal Bay will compete in the AA division come playoff time, but so far they’re holding their own in the combined-level city league, putting together an 8-8 sets record heading into tonight’s play day at Reynolds. With only Dunsmuir as their official feeder middle school now, the future player pool may be smaller than Johnson is used to. But having the bulk of the Belmont squad slide over to Royal Bay has given the program a good head start, she said. And as with Bel-

host the Lower Island AA playoffs on Nov. 9. As for season goals, Johnson said the team is shooting for a berth in the provincial tournament. That’s different than when the group first got together, she said. “As a new team and not knowing our numbers at the time, we all came together and made a goal that we wanted to make Islands, but our new goal is to make provincials,” she said. There definitely grit in the Ravens lineup. Included are a handful of former Dunsmuir players who, as a bare bones, six-member team, qualified for Islands a few years back. “This is the little group that could,” Johnson said.

mont, the new school and gym have created plenty of enthusiasm for volleyball. “There’s some inexperience, but a lot of guys are coming out and have a passion for the sport and decided to be really committed,” she said. A couple of very experienced players are leading the way for the Ravens. Grade 12 team captain Ben Ousey, a 6-1 setter/right side, can play every position; and Grade 11 Mitchell Whittla, a 6-3 left side player with a powerful leap and hitting stroke give the team a solid core. “He’s our young hotshot and big banger,” Johnson said of Whittla, who played senior ball as a junior at Belmont. The Ravens, who are sure to get better as they move toward Islands, are looking to host that tournament in their new gym next month. They are already scheduled to

Lake ends Jr. football career with bang No matter where he started the game, junior football veteran Hunter Lake would almost be assured of touching the ball with the Westshore Rebels. The receiver and returns man, who quarterbacked his team as the third option on a number of

occasions, including their final B.C. Football Conference game Oct. 3 at Westhills Stadium, gained two honours last week. Lake’s 256-yard passing performance in a 35-23 loss to Langley, which included three touchdown tosses, as well as 44 yards

rushing, earned him B.C. Lions offensive player of the week for the BCFC. Later in the week he wound up his junior career by being named to the league’s offensive all-star team. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Westshore Rebels quarterback Hunter Lake scrambles up the middle for some extra yardage in his team’s final game of the B.C. Football Conference season Oct. 3 at Westshills Stadium against Langley.

Wolves are sure to find ornery Cats in Esquimalt

THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR

BETTER HEARING

After hosting Oceanside tonight, Westshore Jr. B pucksters have rematch with Cougars Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Book your FREE Hearing Test!

The Westshore Wolves continue their prowl tonight (7 p.m., Oct. 14) in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League plat at The Q Centre. Fresh off a visit to play their powerful North Division rivals, the Campbell River Storm at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena, the Wolves host another North division rival as they lace they skates up against the Oceanside Generals. This will be the first regular season meeting between the two teams. While the Generals haven’t been the most successful team in the league this year, the Wolves have a tough challenge tomorrow night as they look to stay in the thick of the South Island race. Thursday they’ll play a rematch

We believe everyone over the age of 60 should get a FREE baseline hearing test. You can join us by simply booking YOUR test today and encouraging your friends to join you. It only takes 60 minutes and there are more than 175 participating locations across Canada! In addition, we’re donating $2.00 for every test we perform in order to provide hearing aids for those who can’t afford them. Our goal is to raise over $100,000 for hearing aids this year – So book your test, bring your friends, and together, we can make a difference!

up against the first-place South Division team, the Victoria Cougars, at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. The last time the Wolves visited the Esquimalt arena it left a bitter taste in their mouths, as they emerged with an embarrassing 10-1 loss. Last week however, Westshore posted their first win over the Cats in about a year, exacting a measure of revenge with a hard-fought 4-2 decision in front of their hometown fans in Colwood. The Cougars have outscored the Wolves in the two games by a measure of 12-5 and the Victoria squad remains one of the top teams in the league this year. While Saanich and Peninsula have made strides, the Wolves and Cougars are heading toward another battle for top spot in the South. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Vicki Waters’ Jazzercise classes are extremely popular, if a recent session at Shoreline Community Middle School is any indication. The well-known West Shore exercise guru is hoping for another big crowd this Saturday (Oct. 17) as she invites people at all fitness levels to join in a fundraiser to help fight breast cancer. Jazz it Up For The Cure, a twist on the recent CIBC Run for the Cure, is the franchised exercise company’s contribution to helping fund research into treatment and support for breast cancer patients. “The Victoria Jazzercise community has raised $250,000 over the years,” Waters says of the success of this and related events. Not only are a pair of classes scheduled for the day, at 1 and 2:15 p.m., a variety of gift baskets will be raffled off, each with a different collection of donated items, from nights out to culinary delights and personal care services to practical goods for the home. Waters says joining the workouts is not mandatory for people who’d like to help the cause. “Giving has so many different faces. Everybody’s welcome. If you want to work out with us, that’s great, but if you want to just come in and check out the baskets or make a donation, that’s great too.” The baskets will be on display in the gym at Shoreline, 2750 Shoreline Dr. in View Royal. For more information, call Waters at 250-474-6602 or check out Vicki Waters Jazzercise on Facebook. editor@goldstream gazette.com
