The City of Colwood is working towards adopting bylaws that would control the maximum height of retaining walls built by developers. The extent of the massive wall fronting this Latoria Road development is seen here from Wishart Road.

Rock walls at issue in Colwood Council looks to address future of retaining walls in the City Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Colwood is hoping to keep more big walls from going up. In an effort to allow the municipality to regulate massive retaining walls in developments, the City is crafting a bylaw that would limit the height of such structures and

require developers to obtain a permit for their construction. “This is consistent with what other communities have, we’re just catching up,” said Coun. Gordie Logan. “It allows the municipality to regulate and protect neighbourhoods from overbearing retaining walls.” At a council meeting on Jan. 25, council approved a draft recommendation to be forwarded to residents and stakeholders for consultation. Logan pointed to one wall near the corner of Latoria and Wishart roads as one that sticks

out “like a sore thumb,” saying it is aesthetically inconsistent with the rest of Colwood. Some area residents have even wondered about the potential safety hazards of living near such walls in the event of an earthquake or other natural disaster. “That type of retaining wall is something we are trying to avoid (in future), if at all possible,” Logan said. “Or at least give the City the tools to be able to regulate and work with the developer in designing (them).” Retaining walls are often built by developers to hold back soil

or rocks, typically in areas with elevation and steep slopes where construction happens at a higher point. While it is still early in the process of creating a new bylaw, Logan said he hopes the proposal will move along relatively quickly, with a public open house to be scheduled sometime before the matter is brought to the City’s planning and land-use committee. “This is a great move for Colwood and goes to resolve a number of issues moving forward,” he said. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Cultural sensitivity training is in the future for one Sooke School District teacher as part of discipline handed down for racist remarks made at Edward Milne secondary in Sooke. “This is very out of character for all of our employees,” said District superintendent Jim Cambridge. When asked if the matter had been dealt with to the satisfaction of the District, he said, “we wish the issue had never occurred.” In mid-December of last year, Matthew Shaun Pell signed a consent resolution agreement with the British Columbia Commissioner for Teacher Regulations agreeing to a reprimand under the Teachers Act. In 2014, when Pell was teaching a Grade 11 math class at Edward Milne community school in Sooke, he repeatedly referred to a student, whose family background is Middle Eastern and Muslim, as “Taliban.” The consent resolution agreement states that he would also “make comments such as ‘don’t make her angry otherwise she’ll bomb you’ or ‘she’s going to blow everything up.’”

Alternate intersection solution promoted Province isn’t outright saying no to proposed plan for Trans-Canada Highway and McKenzie Avenue Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

A retired View Royal machinist and a Saanich economist want the Ministry of Highways to give serious consideration to another plan for solving the commuter traffic tie-ups for which the intersection at Trans-Canada Highway and McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road has long been blamed. Dick Faulks, a View Royal resident and treasurer for sustainable growth advocate Island Transformations, says the province needs to plan now to include accommodations for light rail in any changed configuration for the intersection, which the province is budgeting roughly $85 million. “I just want the ministry to spend less money, take up less land and make preparation for regional rail,” he said. Previous surveys and think tanks looking at future growth in the area have placed a regional rail system as a priority and a good long-term solution to our transportation challenges, he said. Faulks’ take on the three options that have been presented to the public for possible adoption is that they are actually only one option, with three slightly different designs. He said it’s possible to spend far less money and at the same time, create infrastructure that looks to the future. “We must prepare for the installation of rail,” he said. “That’s where – if people in

our highways department would look forward and see that – we should be going.” Faulks, 84, has been a booster of commuter rail for decades. With that in mind, he said the three options attempt to “solve an intersection with a superhighway.” No definitive costing has been projected for the alternative proposal being promoted by Faulks and Rob Wickson, the founder of Island Transformations and current president of the Gorge-Tillicum Community Association. However, it sees some significant changes to the flyover and modified cloverleaf scenarios now being analyzed. Among them are the presence of a tunnel on the outbound side of the TCH, which would run under the a bridge connecting the highway and Admirals with McKenzie. It would cover two non-stop lanes heading toward the West Shore and also provide space for a rail stop running parallel between the roadway and the Galloping Goose Trail. Wickson said until the region has commuter rail, the tunnel area could be used as a dedicated bus exchange. The proposal calls for inbound traffic, going straight or turning left, to still be subject to a light. But with outbound highway traffic not a factor, vehicles turning left onto McKenzie – over 10,000 a day – would only be stopped when traffic coming from Admirals Road had a green light, thus improving flow and easing congestion on the commute into Vic-

View Royal resident Dick Faulks, photographed on the Helmcken Road overpass atop the Trans-Canada Highway, wants to the provincial government to rethink its options for an interchange at McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road and Hwy. 1. It’s shortsighted to not include infrastructure for rail, he says, which the region has said it wants to see in future. Don Descoteau/ News Gazette staff

toria from the West Shore and points north. Wickson, for his part, is equally interested in the future of his neighbourhood. He calls the Admirals and McKenzie/TCH intersection “the entryway to the urban environment” of Greater Victoria and as such, creating a high-speed section of roadway leading to another urban intersection at Tillicum Road simply doesn’t make sense. “This is such an important intersection for Greater Victoria, not Saanich or Victoria but everyone,” he said. “We’ve got to look at this much more carefully, and away from just the transportation point of view. We

An underpass tunnel, shown as a light grey rectangle, is proposed for the no-stopping outbound side of the highway and would cover the traffic lanes and the Galloping Goose Trail. The plan also calls for accommodation for rail to be included in the design, with the covered space used for a transit bus exchange until rail comes to the area.

can’t just look at this as a place for vehicles to move through, but look at it as a place that involves pedestrians, cyclists and a neighbourhood.” Faulks and Wickson said they’ve had conversations with Ministry of Transportation officials on the matter, through the public consultation process last fall and otherwise. In an emailed statement, a Ministry spokeswoman wrote that staff have been meeting with community associations since mid-October and that process continues. “Design suggestions and other considerations are part of that consultation process and we welcome input from all stakeholders, including suggestions from the GorgeTillicum residents association,” she wrote. The province is not only keeping the objectives of safety, efficiency and reliability in mind with regard to public input received and technical and financial information gained, she stated, “Other important considerations are how to accommodate transit, pedestrians and cyclists, and future population growth.” Wickson said he’ll push for a different approach to solving the region’s worst traffic challenge, even if that means taking the province to court to force it to look at other options. As he has for years in general, Faulks plans to keep banging the drum for rail when it comes to the redesign of the intersection. He holds out hope that by keeping this “other option” in the spotlight, public opinion will force the province to take a step back and revisit its alternatives for the project. “It is frustrating, but I can’t give up,” he said, “because logic says if we want to save money, you have to do the best thing and look to the future.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Those comments reportedly made the student and her classmates feel very uncomfortable. In May 2015 the District issued Pell a warning letter in respect to this conduct and in June the District made a report to the Commissioner regarding Pell. Cambridge said as soon it was brought to the District’s attention, action was taken. “It’s particularly intolerable in the public school setting.” The District has a zero tolerance policy towards racism in its

president Ian Johnson said in a statement that Pell has “admitted his error and acknowledges that his behaviour was inappropriate.” Johnson added that Pell has agreed to fulfill the Teacher Regulation Branch’s expectation that he enrol in a cultural sensitivity course. “The Sooke Teachers’ Association expects members to treat all students with respect and dignity,” Johnson stated. “There is no place for racism or discrimination of any kind in our inclusive schools.” katie@goldstreamgazette.com

The Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit is making its presence known on the West Shore and reminding drivers to slow down or risk having their vehicles impounded. With speed enforcement set up at two locations at the crack of dawn one morning last week, the unit encountered no shortage of drivers breaking the rules of the road. They handed out 177 tickets for speed violations and impounded 10 vehicles on the West Shore. One of the target locations was the Malahat. In roughly five hours of enforcement there, in

an 80 km/h speed zone, officers handed out 77 speeding violation and nine excessive speeding violations – those drivers had their vehicles impounded for seven days – and dealt with two criminal arrest warrants from other jurisdictions. Some drivers were clocked at between 126 and 140 km/h. “I could safely say that even in an emergency situation, it is unlikely the police would even travel 140 km/h on the Malahat,” unit commander Staff Sgt. James Anderson said in a release. The other location officers chose to target on the West Shore was the Sooke Road and

Acacia Drive intersection in Colwood, due to its proximity to several frequent-collision intersections in the area. In the same time span as the enforcement on the Malahat, officers situated on this 50 km/h speed limit section of Sooke Road issued 90 speeding tickets and one for excessive speeding. In both locations, officers also handed out violation notices for such Motor Vehicle Act offences as driving without insurance, covered/obscured license plate, failure to display “N” for new drivers, no cyclist helmet and distracted driving. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Music still plays a large role in prairie nativeâ€™s life Langford resident loving life and still playing the sax at 100 Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

These days at Mackie Lodge, he said, he enjoys the friendships he has made and the opportunities to â€œmake noiseâ€? with his saxophone at the monthly birthday bashes they host for residents of the local retirement home. â€œI have played saxophone since I was six years old; as I got older I played in two orchestras,â€? he said. â€œIâ€™ve been (playing) music ever since then. If you have a good group, you canâ€™t help but enjoy it.â€? Wilcox has had his share of challenges, losing bandmates, friends and family members as well as a few health concerns of his own along the way. But he counts himself among the blessed. â€œI donâ€™t know if itâ€™s luck or something beyond human, but I still have 20/20 vision in my eyes. I donâ€™t wear glasses at all,â€? he said. â€œI have had a good life, I have been sick and Iâ€™ve been hurt, but I have always been able to bounce back â€“ and I still drive a car.â€?

OUR VIEW

Sewage griping a costly luxury The Capital Regional District’s Westside wastewater and resource recovery select committee includes Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton, View Royal Mayor David Screech, Langford Mayor Stew Young and Coun. Lanny Seaton, as well as Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins and Songhees Nation Chief Ron Sam. This committee recently joined members of the Eastside select committee in asking residents to comment on seven options for dealing with treating sewage in those areas in Greater Victoria that don’t already do so (Saanich Peninsula and Sooke do). Certain details about each of the options is available on the CRD website, from general locations where infrastructure might be located, to the approximate cost per household. Of late there has been much talk about municipalities going it alone or in combination with adjacent jurisdictions. We can see why Langford, still considered the fastest-growing municipality in B.C., and Saanich, one of the largest in the province, are giving thought to an alternative to what they and their counterparts have proposed collectively. The fact there still is disagreement on how the whole process is working out – even with the project given a reboot with Seaterra and McLoughlin Point out of the picture – is another reflection of how difficult it is for so many jurisdictions to agree enough to work together on what, for time and logistical purposes must be a truly regional project. Federal and provincial mandates have taken off the table the notion that sewage treatment isn’t really necessary, even if studies have shown that it isn’t. So the next best option is for the 10 jurisdictions involved to use their collective talents to co-operate with each other on a project that makes sense moving forward. No civic politician wants their taxpayers to foot a huge bill on this project. But arguing that taxpayers in one municipality are not getting a fair shake compared to those in another is wasting time and energy that could be used to help come up with a better solution.

first” experiment in 2007, buying up 13 century-old “single-room occupancy” hotels in Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. These crumbling bedbug habitats were bought and renovated for a staggering $143 million, plus a 15-year maintenance commitment and a cop assigned to each one in an effort to contain the chaos inside. Coleman brags endlessly about the great job he has done, but how is that actually working? A new study by Simon Fraser University researchers provides a more objective assessment. Tracking 433 mentally ill homeless adults over 10 years, the study found the concentration of low-rent accommodation, food handouts, street outreach and medical supports resulted in “significant personal decline rather than recovery, as evidenced by their involvement in the criminal justice system, large increases in acute care and prolonged homelessness.” The rate of people arriving in this service-intensive hellhole has tripled in the last 10 years, a finding similar to studies of concentrated services in New York, Sao Paulo and Osaka. It’s a cautionary tale for other urban communities where this failed containment model is proposed. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Cycling commuter recalls Goose discussion Re: Connection sought for Goose (Gazette, Jan. 29) Oh, how short the memories of municipal councils. As a 20-plus year Galloping Goose commuter, I remember when the Island Highway intersection at Ocean Boulevard/Wale Road was redone, along with the water/sewer lines going up the hill towards Colwood Corners. The talk was how to keep the Galloping Goose connected: “a relocated overpass from another community;” or, “how about a culvert under the road so we don’t have to worry about height restrictions?” Neither was done and instead, a municipal bylaw sign was posted citing a fine for not crossing the road at an intersection that does not connect the trail. The situation the City of Colwood created for cyclists and pedestrians “isn’t safe,” complains Coun. Chong, but I would suggest the council of the day was not that concerned about connecting all road users, just the ones

in automobiles. So here we are, almost 15 years later, trying to figure out how to connect the trail that was torn apart. J. Paul Lang Langford

‘Simple’ solution to house region’s homeless A few people off the streets a day keeps the trouble away. Why have the homeless here not been asked the question, “If you are expecting something from the taxpayers, what have you contributed back to society?” Many of these people speak English very well and they don’t look sick. All of them are at the age of productivity. The healthy ones need to be separated from the “challenged” ones. This would be the best first step, and the healthy ones should be taken off the streets by force. Why? Because Victoria has lots of jobs to offer. To get a home, they need to work for it. It’s about ambition and discipline. In this country, anyone can make it. You don’t need to cry for them, they are using the system and a majority of us are aware of that. The people in support of this issue should really be putting more effort into making a difference. Supporters, including priests, reverends, politicians, etc. should have had these people under their roofs a long time ago, including churches. Churches are empty at night. This could be a “permanent address”

for some of them. This would be very convenient for everyone and the welfare system. A

referendum or survey should be done to see who truly is for and against this current issue, and the results

should be published. As simple as it is, the numbers don’t lie. Stefan Mieczkowski Langford

Love isn’t the only thing in the air Royal Bay dancers to show their emotions through dance Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Meghen Frerichs says the dance studio is where she can be herself. In preparation for Royal Bay’s first dance recital, Feb. 11 at the Colwood high school’s new Teechamitsa Theatre, the 17-year-old spends hours there twirling, jumping and leaping to music. Despite a busy final year of high school, the Grade 12 student said she wouldn’t have it any other way. “(With dance), the best part is feeling like I have a place of belonging in the school. I’ve always felt like I didn’t fit in,” Frerichs said. “A lot of girls like soccer or music. (But) this is a place I really belong. This is my area; I’m comfortable here.” A dancer since she was three, she’ll join a group of dancers onstage at the recital where they’ll perform jazz, lyrical and contemporary stylings. Frerichs said the show is a barometer of sorts, showing how far she and the group have come.

“Our Valentine’s show in February is a little sneak peak into our June show. It’s a chance to showcase our repertoire to see what we’ve been doing in the (dance) academy,” she said. “I’m excited for the show to let the community see what we are doing and our brand new theatre, which is beautiful.” Guiding the troupe is Leanne Harrington, who moved over from Belmont secondary to Royal Bay to continue the academy and brought 22 years of dance instruction experience. Her hope, she said, is to create and build new traditions with the new program, the new facilities and the new school. “This year we decided to do things a bit differently and set new traditions, so we thought we would do a Valentine’s show,” she said. “We’re really excited to be able to do our first show ever in this theatre (but a bit) nervous.” She is glad that parents and the greater community that appreciates the arts will be able to join them in the new space to share that experience. Tickets are $5 at the door or available in advance through the dance studio at Royal Bay secondary on Ryder Hesjedal Way off Latoria Road. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Do you suffer from Allergic Eyes Do you abhor the idea of Victoria’s annual flower count? Many Canadians are looking forward to the end of winter, but others may dread the spring for one red, itchy, watery reason: ocular allergies! Spring is often the beginning of the eye allergy cycle, when nature turns up the volume and tree pollen hangs heavily in the air. Some people suffer from eye allergies year-round, caused by a host of other culprits, including grass pollen, ragweed, and a variety of food, pet and chemical irritants. Allergic reactions are triggered by the body’s immune system in its best effort to protect your eyes from injury. Your immune system can’t tell the difference between harmless substances (like pollens) and harmful intruders (like bacteria), so it overreacts by producing allergy symptoms. These annoying symptoms, including swelling, hives, itching, watering, burning and light sensitivity, can even result in tissue damage or impaired vision. What’s a poor sufferer to do? Try to pinpoint the causes of your allergies and avoid them as much as possible. You can further reduce airborne irritants by using an air conditioner, keeping your environment free of dust, and regulating humidity to keep mites and mold to a minimum. Decongestants, antihistamines and other medicines may also be helpful. Be sure to discuss any eye-related symptoms with your optometrist at your next visit – he or she is one of your best sources of eye health information.

Langford resident Dee Bowen snapped a picture of these two northern pintail ducks at the Esquimalt Lagoon. She likes how the female duck is being trailed by her mate on a brilliantly sunny afternoon.

National team member to get tested in ARC Rugby dream still very much alive for Westshore RFC’s Panga, 30 Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

In high-level rugby players aged 30 and over are considered grizzled veterans. Clay Panga, who will suit up for Canada’s men’s 15s in Saturday’s (Feb. 6) Americas Rugby Championship match against Uruguay at Westhills Stadium, is at that milestone now. While some might say his age puts him in the twilight of his high-performance rugby career, Panga, a native of Papakura, New Zealand near Auckland and a player and coach with Westshore RFC, is anxious to make an impression with the national team coaches with this opportunity. “There’s definitely been times of self-doubt and it’s been a long time coming,” he said of his chance to get capped. “There’s definitely those times

when you feel you’re not being looked at (by national team representatives).” He’s no stranger to lining up against veteran national teamers. On top of his play in the B.C. Premiership, he played flanker with the Prairie Wolf Pack regional development team while residing in Calgary in past years’ Canadian Rugby Championship competitions. In this post-World Cup year, with Canada coming off what many considered a sub-standard result in England – they went 0-4 and failed to advance from pool play – Rugby Canada has assembled a younger, relatively untested side to contest the ARC. with 18 uncapped players. Panga said that’s relatively common in the year following a World Cup, as coaches have a new cycle of players they want to test out. Also impacting the makeup of the ARC roster, he added, is the fact Canadians who play professionally were not available for this tournament. “I think it’s very exciting time at Rugby Canada,” he said. “There’s been a few transitions both on

Grizzlies hope ‘Vee’ is for victory against league leaders Junior A team looks to regroup after weekend BCHL losses Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

After a couple of days off to recuperate from three games in three days, the Victoria Grizzlies are back at it in preparation for hosting the B.C. Hockey League’s best team. The Grizzlies, who came from behind to beat the Clippers 6-3 in Nanaimo on Friday, then lost 6-3 to Port Alberni and 7-2 to Nanaimo at home on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, play the high-flying Penticton Vees, tomorrow night (Feb. 4, 7 p.m. The Q Centre). The win was Victoria’s seventh straight and sent them over the .500 mark for the first time this season. But the Grizzlies saw firsthand what can happen when they take their foot off the gas, said assistant captain Cole Pickup. “Friday night, everyone was kind of in, there were no passengers on the bench,” he said. “We were a little bit tired for the Sunday skate and it just kind of showed on the scoreboard … Everyone’s gotta be a factor.” While for the most part the team kept things simple on the weekend, as it had been through

the streak, Pickup added, a couple of instances of easing up or players trying to do too much burned them, especially against the Island Division-leading Clippers. The solution for putting two forgettable home losses behind them, he said, is focusing on preparation. “Guys just gotta be battling in practice … we can’t taking shortcuts or cheating.” Head coach Craig Didmon’s team takes a 21-22-4-0 record into Thursday’s game against the Vees (41-6-0-1), the No. 2-ranked junior A team in Canada who some time ago clinched first in the Interior Division. He agreed that hard work is the key to getting back on track. “I think we’ve got to reflect on what we were doing that was getting the job done … our habits and our team play,” he said. “Certainly when you get into adverse times, that wherewithal, that strong team game kind of slips away a bit. That’s what we kind of saw Saturday, and today, Nanaimo was ready to go. They probably didn’t like blowing a lead on Friday and us coming from behind. We’ve got to remember what we were doing and where we were.” Some key members of the team were out of the lineup in the two losses. Defenceman Kevin Massy, who scored twice against the Clippers Friday, was out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday after receiving a late-game checking from behind major penalty in Nanaimo.

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Victoria Grizzlies’ Nick Guiney lets fly with a blast as Nanaimo Clippers’ forward Gavin Gould begins to go down in an attempt to block the shot. The visiting Clippers won Sunday afternoon’s B.C. Hockey League game 7-2 at The Q Centre, after losing 6-3 to the Grizzlies in Nanaimo last Friday. Forward Mitchell Barker was out due to injury on Sunday as was defenceman Brett Stirling. In that game, the Clippers opened up a 3-0 first-period lead before the Grizzlies’ Jared Virtanen got the locals on the board at the 15:48 mark. Nanaimo had made it 5-1 and chased starter Matthew Galajda from the Victoria net by the time Brayden Gelsinger replied for the Grizzlies late in the second period. The game saw the Clippers get goals from seven different players

Wolves in the thick of Jr. B playoff race Westshore reg. season ends with key matchups It looks like the race for the number 2, 3 and 4 spots in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s South Division will come down to the wire. The Westshore Wolves, set to play an inter-divisional game tonight (Feb. 3, 7 p.m. start) against the Nanaimo Buccaneers at The Q Centre, are right in the mix, having taken three of four points last week. The Wolves (19-20-1-4), Kerry Park Islanders and Peninsula Panthers entered the week in fourth place, two points back of Islanders and one back of Peninsula with five games left. No one wants to finish fourth, as it means a first-round matchup with the Victoria Cougars (354-1-1). After the Nanaimo game, the Wolves

play Kerry Park on Saturday, followed by Peninsula twice and finishing off with a home game against Saanich on Feb. 17. Last Thursday, Westshore recorded a key victory, 5-3 over Kerry Park at The Q Centre. That followed up a 4-3 overtime loss to Campbell River at

home two days before. Tomba Huddlestan had a goal and an assist to lead the attack on Thursday, while Tanner Sidaway, Brandon Tutte, Nicholas Polomark and Nathan Gelsinger. Chris Smith stopped 20 shots for the win in goal. Against the Storm, Campbell River’s

Carter Hikichi scored the winner 1:37 into overtime, after Branden Tangney’s goal with 1:31 left in the third tied the score at 3-3. Smith stopped 28 shots in the loss. Jonah Philip and Polomark also scored for the Wolves. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Doggie Bag Litter The City of Langford supports and encourages its residents to adopt exercise as part of a healthy approach to life. Many of the City’s residents have incorporated walking their dogs, on the beautiful trails and lovely parks in Langford as part of their healthy regime. Danbrook Park (downtown), Glen Lake Beach Park, Kettle Creek and the Langford Lake Boat Launch were all developed with a dog-friendly approach in mind. Where possible, the City has undertaken to provide dog bag dispensers and waste bins for the disposal of their dog’s feces to assist those folks who may have forgotten their own bags. Some residents have developed a habit of picking up their dog’s waste in the bags but rather than disposing of the bag in the waste bin, they toss the waste in the bushes. The City encourages the use of not only the bags but also the waste bins in disposing of their pets waste. Although the bags are bio-degradable, they do not start to decompose for six months and as bags accumulate the natural beauty of the trailside rapidly becomes very unsightly. We encourage everyone to help keep the natural beauty of our trail system intact by ensuring that your pet’s waste and other litter be disposed of properly. Thanks for your help.

and score three power play goals on six opportunities, while the Grizzlies went zero for six. Saturday’s contest was somewhat similar, as the Bulldogs scored three times in four manadvantage situations and never trailed. It was 2-1 Alberni after a period and 5-2 after 40 minutes. P.J. Conlon scored in the first and second periods for Victoria, while Nick Guiney tallied in the third. Galajda, who has crafted the third-best goals against record in the league (now 2.44), was in net

for all six Bulldogs goals, including two from Chris Schultz. On Friday, the Clippers overcame a 2-1 deficit to go ahead 3-2 in the second, but gave up three straight goals in the period as the Grizzlies took control. Conlon added an empty-net goal in the final minute. Dante Hahn, Tyler Welsh and Alex Peck also scored in the win, while Nolan Aibel, Devin Brosseau and Troy MacTavish replied for the Clippers. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Figure skating club ready to host Island Regionals Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Home ice advantage won’t mean much for Juan de Fuca Skating Club members competing in this weekend’s Vancouver Island Regional Championships at The Q Centre in Colwood. But that’s something the club, which is based at the Juan de Fuca Arena, is prepared for and has been preparing its skaters for since they began competing. “It’s a learning curve,” said coach and the club’s director of skating, Leslee Rushton. “I always say there is no such thing as a wrong side.” Routines are choreographed for highlighted skills to be performed facing the judges. However, judges don’t always sit in the same spot in different arenas, so a skater has to be ready to adjust or “flip” their program to face any direction required. The Q Centre, for instance, has seating that wraps all the way around the arena, unlike their practice rink at Juan de Fuca, which only has seating on one side. Juan de Fuca skaters only had one opportunity to test their blades at The Q Centre leading up to the big event, giving them some valuable insight into what the different venue could feel like. As for home ice advantage, Rushton said at least “the children still get to sleep in their own beds.”

said of Marr, laughing. But she pushed her to skate at the higher level to get her testing done, knowing she’ll be busy with high school graduation events before long. Marr, who has been skating for six years and skates three days a week, welcomes hitting the ice as a way to take her mind off the stress of school.

the first one in which she is certified to judge pre-juvenile and juvenile levels. “I find I learn a lot more about the sport and myself,” Robertson said. “My goal is to become an international judge.” Majoring in psychology with a minor in Hispanic studies, she chose to judge rather than compete after recently returning from a three-month exchange trip to Ecuador. Judging is like taking an exam, she said, adding she finds herself cramming before a competition. “You can’t look it up when you’re on the panel,” she said, laughing. Robertson was encouraged by Rushton to get into judging. “I think she’s got the potential to do great things,” the coach said. Forty-four skaters will be competing from the local club alone, joining skaters from across the Island for a total of 319 hitting the ice at The Q Centre this weekend. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Sports aren’t coming to Royal Bay, they’re already here Few differences in programming between schools Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Kevin Harrington is hoping to dispel a few myths. The Royal Bay secondary athletic director says a common misconception is that his school features more arts-oriented programming, without offering traditional sports, while Belmont is the opposite. Parents still ask why Royal Bay doesn’t have a compliment of sports programming. The former Belmont teacher tells them they do have athletic programs, some people just don’t know about it yet. “We have all sports at Royal Bay … It’s still in people’s minds this is a fine arts school and Belmont is the athletics school, but we both have full compliments at both schools,” Harrington said. “We both have our speciality programs, but outside of that, we both offer everything you could want in fine arts courses and athletics and all the sports.” Royal Bay hosts the Trades Awareness Skills and Knowledge (TASK) and culinary arts programs while, Belmont features French Immersion studies and the automotive department. In terms of academies, Royal Bay offers soccer and dance. The two programs moved over from Belmont and will be joined by a lacrosse academy next year. Belmont continues to have its hockey academy and will be installing rugby and softball/baseball academies for the upcoming academic year. Both schools also offer fine arts programming and have a theatre. “The well-rounded student is what’s important,” Harrington said. “We have all sorts of academies. To take the opportunity that is there, to be active, it brings students together. The spirit of the school is sometimes through theatre and sometimes through gym. We’re hoping to develop the smaller-school feel and school spirit.” In terms of differences between sports

offerings, both schools offer soccer, volleyball, basketball and track and field, while only Belmont has a football team. As for highlights, Royal Bay’s junior boys volleyball team won the Island Cham-

pionships in their inaugural season, and their junior girls basketball team is currently ranked 14th in the province. Royal Bay offers sports performance classes and credited courses on basketball, volleyball and lacrosse,

all of which ran in the first semester with a full compliment of students. Some classes had wait lists due to high interest. Harrington said all aspects of school programming are important, and both Bel-

mont and Royal Bay offer great options for students. “If students are involved in athletics, fine arts, music, it allows them to connect to school, coaches, teachers and the school community (more) than if school is

just the classroom setting,” he said. “It’s like any kind of program, it has students who get attached to it and if a student is connected to a school, they are more likely to be successful.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com
