Widening in the works for Trans Canada Highway Officials laud safety and congestion improvements Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Going for it Charlane Moore, 11, of Lakewood elementary school leaps for the ball against a flurry of Willway elementary student defenders. Belmont secondary school’s new gym saw nearly 600 Sooke School District students wrapping up their season with a three-day tournament-style jamboree last week. The tournament raised more than $1,000 for Sport Assist Langford.

The Ministry of Transportation announced it will install medians and widen the Trans-Canada Highway to four lanes between Leigh Road and Goldstream Provincial Park. About 100 people cheered as the news was announced by Todd Stone, B.C. minister of transportation and infrastructure, at an event last week. Stone said the project, to be funded in partnership with the City of Langford, would significantly improve safety and help relieve congestion. The widening will also complete four lanes on the highway from Victoria to Goldstream Provincial Park. Design work for the two-kilometre section is expected to be completed next year. Stone said the work will involve a lot of rock clearing and grading. He gave a preliminary rough estimate of the cost of the work to be in the $15 million range. He also acknowledged the recent completion of the south-bound off-ramp at the Leigh Road interchange as another example of the co-operation between Langford and the B.C. government. Langford and the province shared the $5 million cost for that project.

The completion of the work at Leigh Road will also reduce congestion along Millstream Road, Stone added. “These projects are improving safety for everyone who travels along this corridor,” he said. The work is part of more than $100 million the provincial government has invested in Vancouver Island transportation in the past two years. Langford Mayor Stew Young praised the provincial government for the improvements and said they are great examples of the spirit of co-operation between the two levels of government. “We now have a road to Bear Mountain and another option to get around our community,” Young said. “This is an important part of infrastructure improvements that will improve safety and traffic and will help create economic activity and more jobs for our residents,” he said. “The government should be applauded for recognizing the benefits these projects will create,” he continued. “You guys have delivered. We hope to see you back here soon.” Langford Fire Rescue Chief Bob Beckett said the completion of the south-bound off ramp at Leigh Road will help reduce the response time for first responders. He added that the medians and widening of the highway will play a significant role in reducing the risk of head-on collisions first responders will have to deal with in the future. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin was the busiest West Shore fire department in dealing with issues caused by Sunday’s late afternoon windstorm. Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop said they dealt with about 10 calls between 5 and 9 p.m., including one where a 100-foot tree came down on a house on Arden Road. “Fortunately, no one was home at the time and there were no injuries,” Dunlop said. The other calls mostly involved power lines hit by tree branches.” She thanked residents for their patience and for staying off the roads. Langford Fire Rescue dealt with two calls regarding downed power lines, including a live line down near Ma Miller’s Pub on Sooke Lake Road, said firefighter Lance Caven. “It was a very spectacular light show.” The department had several other calls involving branches on power lines. “It’s important to remind everyone to stay well clear, at least 10 metres away, from downed power lines for safety reasons,” Caven added. View Royal dealt with a downed power line on Admirals Road near Maplebank Road that caused an outage in the area near the Esquimalt border for about six hours, said Assistant Chief Rob Marshall. The Colwood fire department had only one call regarding minimal arcing from a tree on a power line in the 3300-block of Metchosin Road, said Assistant Chief Bryan Erwin. Highlands Fire Chief Dean Ford said Sunday was fairly quiet, with no major issues to report. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Bizarre theft mystifies one resident Former master gardener worries about the fate of her stolen rhodos Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

A long-time Langford resident is absolutely mystified by rhododendrons robbers who took four mature shrubs from her backyard. Elizabeth Mulvey said the theft happened two weeks ago. The rhododendrons derived from an ancient Greek word for tree - were about four feet tall and four feet wide. “I was shocked that someone would do that,” said Mulvey, who has lived on Haslam Avenue since 1985. “I’ve never heard of anything like this in our neighbourhood before. You feel like your privacy has been invaded. My friends

think it’s very bizarre.” The former master gardener is also concerned about what will happen to the rhodos, which she has nurtured for the past 10 years. “They don’t take kindly to being uprooted or transplanted,” said Mulvey, adding that gardening is her favourite activity. She has donated flowers from her garden to Our Lady of the Rosary Parish on Goldstream Avenue for many years. West Shore RCMP attended the scene and opened a file, but said there wasn’t much that could be done. “The officer was wonderful and I really appreciated the service they provided,” she said. Mulvey was also moved by an unexpected act of kindness by the teachers and members of the French class she attends once a week at the Juan de Fuca Seniors Centre. “The teachers, Michele and Sam Jess, are originally from France, and wonder-

drons. I was really moved and surprised by their very generous gesture.” reporter@goldstream gazette.com

The Town of View Royal is set to branch out into community orchard management, thanks to a TD Green Streets grant. The $25,000 grant from Tree Canada and the Toronto-Dominon Bank Group’s TD Friends of the Environment Foundation will go towards supporting an innovative urban forestry project at Welland Legacy Park, a community orchard and public park that is home to more than 200 established fruit trees. View Royal, in collaboration with LifeCycles Project Society, will build a hands-on public education site at the park to train volunteers in sustainable food production and orchard management. The aim is to develop a holistic, educational outreach strategy that trains and engages volunteers. LifeCycles is a Victoria-based non-profit charitable organization that connects people to the food they eat and the land it comes from. View Royal Mayor David Screech said he was thrilled with news of the grant. “LifeCycles has been caring for the orchard at Welland Park for three years. They have done a lot of wonderful work in our community and throughout the region,” he noted. “The grant money will assist the great work they do.” View Royal was one of 13 communities across Canada chosen from more than 140 applications to receive a share of the $300,000 in grants made available this year by the TD Friends of the Environment Group.

RRU competition promotes business savvy students High pressure test for students mirrors real world challenges Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Students from around the globe will have the opportunity to state their case in a business competition at Royal Roads University in Colwood. The 14th annual Case Competition is a three-day event from March 17 to 19 where about 20 teams of four students compete in a round robin tournament. They will present strategic choices and a detailed plan of action for four business cases to a panel of judges who assess creativity, insight and the potential of real world application of the

team’s analysis and presentations. The teams have three hours to analyze each case and prepare a presentation no longer than 15 to 20 minutes. The total accumulated score for each team will be tabulated at the end of the first three cases to determine the top four teams that will compete in the final case study. A diverse panel of 45 local professionals from the Capital Region will judge the event that has proven to be a valuable growth opportunity for students and business owners with new perspectives. Alaris Design owner Airifin Graham has volunteered to be one of the lead judges for the popular international undergraduate competition. This is the fourth year Graham has been a judge, and the first time he will serve as one of the six lead judges who facilitate the pro-

cess by providing feedback and handling the question and answer sessions between the judges and students. Graham said he’s looking forward to the opportunity to be involved again. “The students can learn a lot from our comments and questions,” he noted. “We have the opportunity to be presented to by 20 teams of B Comm students from North America and Europe, so it’s a benefit to us and the business community as well. I encourage people to come out and get a flavour of what we’re doing. The finals on Saturday are a lot of fun.” Kelsey Carragher, head of communications and media for the Case Competition executive team, will speak along with Graham about the experience of running the event with the support of her bachelor of commerce and entrepreneurial teammates.

“It’s a really intense experience that requires the ability to be able to think on your feet quickly,” said Carragher, who has competed in similar case competitions in the past. “I think events like this are a great practical learning experience for the students involved, despite the level of stress (the competition creates.)” Putting on an event like this involves a great deal of collaboration between the students, the international competitors and RRU’s faculty, she added. “This year is no doubt going to be one for the books,” Carragher said. The Case Competition will be held at RRU’s Learning and Innovation Centre and is open to the public.

View Royal says no to using goats

Goldstream Food Bank president Gayle Ireland accepts a donation of more than $1,200 from Kevin Albers, M’akola Group of Societies CEO. This donation, as well as other cash donations, offer the non-profit double the buying power. Raised by M’akola staff, this donation will allow the food bank to purchase nearly $2,500 of food to serve West Shore families. M’akola houses 400 family members in Langford and 5,000 across the province.

Goats clearing invasive species won’t be seen or herded in View Royal following a decision at the March 8 council meeting. Mayor David Screech said the idea came up for discussion after a request by a View Royal housing co-op that was interested in utilizing Goats on the Hoof, which uses goats to clear invasive species. Screech said council decided not to permit it because it contravened existing bylaws. “It sounds like a good idea in some ways,” Screech said. “In the end we didn’t think it was a suitable use in an urban area. I don’t think you can teach goats how to be selective about what they eat.” Allan Iwanyshyn, owner of Goats on the Hoof, said he was disappointed by the decision, adding that View Royal staff had earlier indicated council was “intrigued” by the idea. He said using goats to get rid of problem vegetation is an environmentally friendly alternative to using machinery. His company has been in operation for three years and has done work in urban and residential areas, including Nanaimo, Qualicum, Parksville and Lantzville. Iwanyshyn said Goats on the Hoof, which is affiliated with Rent-A-Ruminant based in Washington State, is eager to do work in the Capital Region.

We wash our windshields when they are dirty, why not do the same for our glasses? Dirty, scratched, and misaligned glasses distort our sight, and increase glare problems. They do not, however, harm our eyes. Scratches may weaken the lenses’ resistance to impact. The following are some easy tips for proper eyeglass care: • Clean your glasses regularly using warm water and soap or special eyeglass cleaners to remove oils and dirt from the lenses. • Keep your glasses in their case when not in use. • Never set glasses down with the lenses touching the table or counter top. • Put on and take off your glasses using two hands. Hold each temple about midway, and gently slide them over your ears. • Avoid letting others try on your glasses as this may throw off the alignment. • Have your glasses readjusted periodically. If vision problems persist even with clean, dry, and properly adjusted glasses, consult your Optometrist.

Blennerhassett, a former reporter for the Gazette, was going to meet Balbir Singh Sr., a Sikh who won three Olympic medals in field hockey and is largely forgotten. Blennerhassett was first told the story of Balbir Singh in Canada through a co-worker and friend of his father’s. Two years later he has published A Forgotten Legend: Balbir Singh Sr., Triple Olympic Gold & Modi’s New India. Field hockey used to be the number one sport in India but has been replaced as the crowd favourite by cricket. Singh Sr. won Olympic gold in 1948, 1952, 1956 and to this day he is largely forgotten in India and unknown in Canada where he lives in relative obscurity in Burnaby, B.C.

Blennerhassett’s connection to this 92-year-old man was forged through a common trait of idealism. Both, he said, saw themselves as out for the greater good. Blennerhassett set out on a journalist’s visa to India and for two weeks he carried out dozens of interviews in Chandigarh and New Delhi. He heard all the stories about Singh Sr. and his prowess on the field. He also heard the stories of prejudice against the Sikh minority and the great divide in India during Partition. Singh Sr. was there when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated and the Sikhs paid a high price for the murder carried out by her Sikh guards. Singh Sr. was a victim of the divide and his past is obscure but his story is a metanarrative of India during those unsettling times. “India is a very complicated country,” said Blennerhassett.

“It is a country struggling to be a democracy and is deeply divided by religion.” Blennerhassett feels Singh Sr. suffered injustice and disrespect and he wanted his story to be told. “I think at the end of the day it’s kind of a human story and it doesn’t matter if he’s a Sikh and I’m white. Here’s a great Indo/ Canadian hero. We can go back in time and celebrate these people. He’s a proud Indian and a proud Canadian.” Blennerhassett said Balbir Singh Sr. had a remarkable life even outside field hockey. A Forgotten Legend: Balbir Singh Sr., Triple Olympic Gold & Modi’s New India will be available in Chapters and Indigo stores as well as on Amazon. Patrick Blennerhassett has published two previous novels with a third, The Fatalists, scheduled for a fall 2016 release. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Women still earn less then men It’s been just over a week since International Women’s Day. On March 8, women around the globe stood up and embraced each other, sent funny little pictures and celebrated strong, independent women everywhere. For one short day, feminism wasn’t considered the other f-word and was shouted from the roof tops. The issues women face every day were forced into the spotlight and for one shiny split second, that glass ceiling almost disappeared. Then midnight hit and everything went back to the way it was before. Nothing changed. Even though women make up roughly half of the Canadian labour force, less than six per cent of Canadian CEOs are female. Of that labour force, according to recent data from Statistics Canada, a woman working full time only makes 73.5 cents to every dollar her male counterpart makes. On average women make about $8,000 a year less than men doing an equivalent job. That’s double the global average and a far stretch from reaching parity. In fact, the World Economic Forum doesn’t believe that will happen until 2133. More than a 100 years seems like a long time to wait for something that seems so simple. Pay women what they deserve. Problem solved. We tell school-aged girls they can grow up to be anything they want. They can do anything boys can do, sometimes even better. Then we tell them they are special. But at the end of the day, women are told they are literally worth less when they are handed a paycheque. And that ‘special’ role will often leave women passed over for job openings and promotions while they are still of those pesky childbearing years because very few people want to pay two people to do a job if they don’t have to. Women are routinely fired while on maternity leave and yes, that is illegal, but it still happens. We don’t expect change to occur overnight. But it’s been about 100 years since women earned the right to vote in this country. It shouldn’t take another 100 years for gender parity to be achieved. What do you think?

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided. The next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp. “They’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.” Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says. Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Devastating consequences for auxiliary programs Re: RCMP auxiliary roles reduced (Gazette, March 9) I was an RCMP auxiliary constable for almost 10 years in the West Shore. I can tell you, in that time I have seen many changes to the program, mostly for the worse. Our tax base can no longer support the increasing costs needed for many services our community needs. Consequently the use of volunteers is our only option. When the RCMP say they are only looking out for the safety of their volunteers, take it with a grain of salt. Volunteer officers are not to be classed in the same boat as the civilian volunteers. RCMP auxiliary constable are given basic training and ongoing annual training amounting to hundreds of hours, training the RCMP provided by their own people. Good managers would have improved the program, not dismantle it. With proper training these volunteer constables would make an awesome addition to the force and the communities they serve. Many communities around the world use volunteer officers as regular members with great success. If you can put two armed officers in a car for a Friday and Saturday night why wouldn’t you? It’s safer, four eyes are better than two. Many of us have tried to convince the RCMP to follow those models used elsewhere to improve the service provided but they refuse. That makes no sense whatsoever. Communities need that augmentation of volunteer officers. Volunteer constables come with local knowledge and a full understanding of the job and the risks at hand. The RCMP should applaud those volunteers and stop treating them like children.

I am confident the RCMP could, if it wanted to, train high quality volunteer constables capable of doing a fantastic job on the streets. Consequently I am suspect as to why they would rip apart the auxiliary program and their excuse for doing so. The RCMP is struggling with manpower right now big time. I suspect many auxiliary constables will quit due to these changes, leaving the program in shambles and losing several hundred thousand man hours down the drain with the fault squarely on the shoulders of Ottawa. Don’t think for a moment the RCMP could not build one of the best auxiliary constable program in the world. Bill Randall Colwood

More services for Canadians before refugees Re: Letters (Gazette, March 9) I completely agree with the letters Stuart Sinclair sent in on the subject of housing for our own disabled, before homeless. It is bizarre that we are taking in young healthy refugees and housing young, ablebodied street people, who moan all the time about not being given enough from our government. If you look at the problems that refugees are causing all throughout Europe, it is horrendous. Yes, I agree that international help should be given to those in need abroad. But do it in their own country by training them how to succeed, or even fight for their country if necessary. My own feelings are if Canada needed my services in a crisis, I would

never flee, I would stand my ground and defend it. And yes, I have lived in the Middle East and have an idea of how things should work. Canada is the best country in the world. But mark my words, if we don’t look after it, we are going to lose the very fabric that holds this country together. We need to take more care of our disabled, our veterans especially, before we spend billions of dollars on something that will radically change the demographics of our way of life. Paul Collins Langford

Medicinal marijuana track record not proven by history Re: Medical marijuana consistency proven (Letters, Gazette, March 9) It’s amazing that Stan White has access to 5,000 years of medical history, from which he claims there has not been a single death from use of cannabis. He does flop the word “medically” around in the sentence, but I don’t see how anyone can know all medical history for the last 5,000 years. During that time the ability to figure out what someone was cured by or died from has improved from rudimentary to very knowledgeable – even sanitation was not understood two centuries ago. Note that many societies that may have used cannabis did not keep detailed records. White should define what he means by medical use. A few months ago in Vancouver, 64 people were taken to hospital in one day after over-consuming cannabis in some

Could we truly eradicate Tuberculosis? I am hoping that the answer to this question lies within us and that with a fresh new government in power, we might be able to persuade the Canadian public to consider a world without this age old disease. It is tempting to think that this does not affect us in Canada. However, in the far north, it is still a huge problem. Given that one person with TB can infect 10 to 15 others within a year, it behooves us to do something about this. This year’s World Tuberculosis Day, on March 24, will be marked with the unfortunate distinction that we have now allowed this preventable, curable disease to become one of the world’s biggest communicable killers. On World TB Day, let us consider what each one of us might be able to do to push in the right direction. To quote lead singer Bono of U2: “Because we can, we must!” Connie Lebeau Saanich

What’s in a name?

Did you know? Some names tied to explorers include: n Langford: named for Captain Edward Langford, an impoverished English gentleman farmer. He established one of the four Hudson’s Bay Company farms in the Victoria area before sailing back to England in disgrace. n Colwood: shares more than just geography with Langford. It was the name Captain Langford gave his farm, after his home in Sussex, England. Some of the names with First Nations roots include: n Metchosin: an exception of the flattering name trend, Metchosin is said to date back to a time when a dead whale was cast up on a local beach, causing the local First Nations to refer to the area as “SmetsShosin,” the “place of stinking fish.” n Malahat: “the place where one gets bait.”

The history behind some of the names of Island towns John McKinley Black Press

A First Nations hero lying stricken on his side, a gaping hole ripped out of his chest. A courageous young Spanish beauty, beloved by the British army who became an icon in the history of south Africa. If not for these and a handful of other exceptions, one might think Vancouver Island towns were named strictly from an odd brew combining the pages of a navy quartermaster’s roster with a promotional brochure from the 19th-century Coast Salish chamber of commerce.

At least that’s the theme running through an examination of Island place names on the B.C. government website and a collection of other histories. Juana María de los Dolores de León Smith — or Lady Smith as history came to call her — was a descendant of the legendary Ponce De Leon. Orphaned at 14 during the Napoleonic Wars, she found protection in the form of Major Harry Smith of the liberating British Army and married him a few days later. Smith went on to accompany her husband in all his campaigns, including the now “Sir” Harry’s deployment as the governor of the Cape Colony in South Africa, where they named a town Ladysmith in her honour. Fifty years later, Vancouver Island coal tycoon and British patriot James Dunsmuir was busy building a new coal port on the shores of Oyster Harbour when he got news of the lifting of the lengthy siege of Ladysmith in the Boer War. Not only did he rename his new town Ladysmith in honour of the occasion, he named all the streets after British Boer War generals. Dunsmuir later went on to construct Royal Roads University’s Hately Castle, where he resided for a number of his retirement years. The history of the name Chemainus, meanwhile, is a little less clearly defined. Some histories relate that the name means “bitten breast” in a Native dialect. Others state that it refers to “Tsiminnis” a legendary figure who led the migration

Historian Patrick Dunae said he never before realized the pattern of the place names reflecting positive characteristics of those places, but said it fit with what respected Snuneymuxw Elder Ellen White told him about First Nations naming conventions for people.

Retreat offers indigenous perspective for women Aims to expand network of women leaders Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Janis Jonasen

Organizers of the Intercultural Leadership Retreat for Women are eager to welcome more participants from the West Shore. Langford resident Janis Jonasen said she hopes more women from the West Shore

and throughout the Capital Region will participate in the retreat because of the unique opportunities it provides. The event, which takes place April 8 to 10 in Ladysmith, offers an indigenous perspective on the history and current impact of colonization. Other goals include facilitating the exploration of personal biases and value systems to promote meaningful relationships, helping create personal plans to apply to

new learning at work and in the community, and expanding the network of women leaders from many sectors in the community. “It’s an opportunity for people of all cultures to develop practical skills that encourage and embrace diversity,” said Jonasen, a member of the Gitxan First Nation, who has a masters of arts in leadership and training. She received the Marie Gillen Award for research into the effects of art engage-

ment on Canadian women impacted by abuse in 2015. Jonasen believes there are many women who may not be aware that they are in leadership roles, and the retreat will provide a vehicle that will empower them to share the benefits of what they learn with their communities. Collaborative artist Crystal Charlotte Easton will create a painting to capture thoughts and feelings from the retreat to serve as a reminder that

the ideas participants share are meant to be put into action. Jonasen will co-facilitate the retreat with Samantha Letourneau, who has a masters degree in global studies and human rights. For more information on the retreat or to register, go to janisjonasen.com and click on Intercultural Leadership Retreat for Women under events. reporter@goldstream gazette.com

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

Behind the scenes with the Victoria Royals DJ The man that gets the crowd going Kendra Wong Black Press

Sitting high above the ice at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, Tom Grainger can see almost everything that goes on. The media room (and food) are conveniently located to his right, the video replay booth is to his left and directly across from him sits the Victoria Royals hockey bench. He has the perfect view of both nets and thousands of people sitting below him as well. Grainger, a West Shore resident and business teacher at Belmont secondary school, is the DJ for the Royals. He is responsible for choosing the music in the arena during home games — from goal songs to intermission music and tongue-incheek songs that come on during power plays or when the opposing team scores. “I see my job as really to pump up the fans. Everything that I do is for the fans and to get them more engaged and active,” said the 31-year-old. “I measure my success based on how involved the fans are in the game, how loud they’re cheering.” Grainger has a computer with seven folders of roughly 1,000 songs to play in every situation, 300 of which are crowd favourites he constantly plays, including classic rock music from Metallica, Led Zeppelin and of course, Tom Connors’ “The Hockey Song.” Grainger will play “Say it ain’t so” by Weezer when the away team scores. He’ll play Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” if an opposing team player crashes into the Royals net minder, ACDC’s “Thunderstruck” before a penalty shot, or Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call me maybe” if a call goes to video

Hockey League. Shortly after, he applied for the DJ job with the Royals and for the past 10 years, Grainger has been spinning the tunes audiences and players enjoy from game start to finish. It’s not just about playing certain songs, but having the music reflect how fans are feeling and contributing to the overall experience, Grainger said. “If the fans are feeling a certain way during the game, then I’ll pick a song based on that and try to really match the mood of the crowd,” he said. “There’s a lot of thought that goes into every song we play ...

replay. Grainger said the Royals players enjoy when he includes songs with their names, such as playing “1994” by Jason Aldean when defenseman Joe Hicketts scores or ACDC’s “Big Jack” for winger Jack Walker. He’ll cycle through roughly 80 songs in one game. Being a DJ is a talent Grainger learned during his time working in guest services on the Fantasmic! show in Disneyland in Florida while he completed his business degree at the University of Victoria. Having grown up playing hockey in Sooke, his first DJ gig was with the Salmon Kings in the East Coast

It’s really rewarding when you put something on that matches the mood in the building and the crowd really gets into it.” However, some nights can be more challenging than others. Low-scoring games or games when the Royals are losing can be more difficult to get the crowd engaged, Grainger admitted. “If it’s quiet in here, we’ll play some clapping and organ bits to keep the fans engaged,” he said. “Our hope is that the fans will give the players the spark they need out on the ice.” Grainger is quick to credit the entertainment team with his success.

“We have an NHL-calibre game entertainment team and that makes it easier to come back every year,” he said, adding the team also includes the PA announcer, lighting person and game producer. “Working through everything during the game as a team is really cool and I think because we’re such a strong team, we’re able to do some really cool things.” Up next, Grainger is gearing up for the most exciting time in WHL hockey — the playoffs. He said the music will be more dramatic to match the level of excitement in the arena. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Gearing up for a new season in Colwood Local club sees more girls getting involved Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Riders across the region are jumping in anticipation of another action packed season of races at Greater Victoria BMX’s track. The organization includes more than 220 members of all skill levels, ranging in age from two to 60, who hone their skills at the track built in 2007 at the West Shore Parks and Recreation’s facilities in Colwood. One of the bigger events on the horizon for the upcoming season is the Vancouver Island National championship from July 29 to 31, said Joanne Parkinson, secretary of the Greater Victoria BMX executive. “We’re very excited about this one because it draws BMX families from Canada and the U.S.,” Parkinson said, adding that the track will be rebuilt in advance of the event. Greater Victoria BMX, a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization that relies on sponsorships to operate, has

a 30-year history that has attracted enthusiasts from across the Capital Region. The season runs from April to October, with two races a week for local riders, as well as a number of larger competitions, including the annual Race For Life, which raises funds for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. “The sport is a true family affair, with many multi-generational participants,” Parkinson said. “We have parents that join after seeing how much fun their kids are having. We even have a moms’ group of riders.” Greater Victoria BMX is hosting an information session and rider registration from 1 to 3 p.m., March 20 at the track, located behind The Q Centre. “We’re always looking for new riders,” Parkinson said. “We’re seeing more girls get involved in the past few years, which is just great.” For more information on races, scheduling and registration for Greater Victoria BMX or to get involved as a sponsor, go to victoriabmx. com, e-mail bmxvictoria@ gmail.com or call Kathleen at 250-415-2622 or Tara at 250217-1812. reporter@goldstream gazette.com
