Updated design unveiled for Oak Bay Lodge replacementCouncil, Baptist Housing commit to thorough process

Ryan FlahertyNews staff

After a three-month break, round two is offi-cially underway.

Oak Bay council got its first look Monday at the revamped proposal from Baptist Housing for a new facility to replace Oak Bay Lodge. The new design addresses many of the concerns raised during the original variance application last fall.

Baptist Housing CEO Howard Johnson was on hand to give an overview of the changes. He was also there to assure all concerned that this time the consultation step is being handled properly.

“We think this is a much better process this time around,” Johnson told the News Tuesday.

In addition to concerns raised in the fall over the height, access points, and overall impact of the original design, there were also complaints that the entire application had been rushed and that council was forced too quickly into making a decision. This time, however, an independent planning consultant is being hired to guide the municipality through the process.

“This gives them a tremendous value in terms of understanding, from a technical point of view, that everything seems to be appropriate from a planning perspective,” said Johnson.

He pointed out that Oak Bay doesn’t have the same size planning department as larger commu-nities such as Victoria and Saanich.

Johnson added that Baptist Housing will pay for the consultant, but that they will report to council. “They very much need to be indepen-dent of us and be able to give council unbiased advice.”

Don DescoteauNews staff

You’re in a room, thousands of kilome-tres from home. People you’ve only just met are throwing questions at you.

You try to answer the best you can, knowing there’s $75,000 at stake.

Oak Bay High Grade 12 student Emer-ald Pringle was one of 76 scholarship applicants in that scenario last week in Toronto. They were in the final stages of adjudication for the 2012 Loran Award. Only 30 would be chosen, out of a pool of 3,900 initial applicants nationwide.

Pringle found out Sunday night after arriving home, that she wasn’t selected. She did, however, earn $3,000 as a finalist and took one more step toward a major transition in her young life.

“The weekend was an amazing oppor-tunity … I learned so much about myself

and met so many amazing people,” she says.

The process began for her back in October. “I had to do four essays of 300 words each. The name of the game is get-ting them to want to talk to you so you can express yourself in person.”

The Loran Award rewards young peo-ple not only for high academic achieve-ment – Pringle is averaging 95 per cent this year – but active community involve-ment and leadership. It is the crème de la crème of scholarships in this country and as such, requires the most work to apply for, especially if one advances through the regional and provincial stages.

But the Loran is only one of countless monetary awards available to students moving on to post-secondary education.

At Oak Bay High alone, roughly 100 students were offered more than $1 mil-lion in scholarships and bursaries last

year. They range from major awards worth tens of thousands of dollars to $400 contributions from service clubs or families. For students trying to defray the mounting costs of higher education, they all add up, says Scholarship Prepa-ration 12 teacher Scott Alexander.

The high-energy instructor has done plenty of research on what’s out there. With his students in the thick of scholar-ship application season, he says school advisors can be a key resource for stu-dents, by helping them navigate through the multitude of online and print infor-mation.

“We really become a coach,” he says. “If the kids choose to apply themselves and search out what’s available, there’s huge results that can be achieved.”

Region’s growth trails B.C., national averages

Oak Bay’s population grew by barely 100 residents between 2006 and 2011.

Those numbers, along with a region-high jump of 30 per cent in Langford, were listed in the latest Statistics Canada cen-sus data, released Wednesday.

Single-digit increases in Victoria and Saanich were major factors in the Capital Region’s overall growth of 4.4 per cent to 344,615. The region’s growth rate trailed both B.C. and Canada’s rates.

The country grew by 5.9 per cent in the five-year period since the previous cen-sus, while B.C. jumped seven per cent.

While West Shore jurisdictions enjoyed healthy growth, Victoria led population growth in the core at 2.5 per cent. During the same time frame, Esquimalt’s popula-

tion shrunk by 3.7 per cent.The numbers fall well below growth

estimates released after the 2006 census. At that time, the Capital Regional District predicted an extra 30,000 people by 2011. Only half that growth materialized.

“I never thought Victoria would meet those projections,” said Larry McCann, a professor at the University of Victoria’s department of geography. “Victoria has always grown very slowly. Historically, it just inches along, inches along.”

The economic downturn put a real halt to condo development, he said. “Part of that estimate was more retired people would be moving into the metropolitan area, and that just didn’t happen.”

Victoria’s growth isn’t keeping up to the provincial or national average because the people it does attract are older with smaller households, he said.

Victoria Avenue demolition delay extended by councilProperty becomes poster child for heritage issues

Ryan FlahertyNews staff

What began as a simple demolition request has transformed into an unofficial referendum on Oak Bay’s heritage program.

At the heart of the discussion is a Victoria Avenue home, whose owners want to rede-velop the double lot on which it sits and build two new ones in its place.

The home is currently under a municipally imposed 60-day temporary protection order, while council decides whether or not to pursue offi-cial heritage designation for the property.

The immediate impact of council’s decision will be financial – the municipality would be on the hook for any loss in market value that may come from the designation.

But as was evident at Mon-day’s committee-of-the-whole meeting, the situation has led many in the community to take a long, hard look at Oak Bay’s heritage plan, or more accurately, the lack thereof.

Oak Bay Heritage Commission members spoke about the need for a comprehensive heritage strategic plan for the municipality.

“Heritage in Oak Bay is under pressure by developers and homeowner/developers, particularly on the double lots and large sin-gle lots,” said Pat Wilson, commission chair. Wilson pointed to an increase in the num-ber of demolitions as evidence of a need for action.

“Already in January, the building depart-ment has received three demolition requests,” she said. “We recognize that change is going to happen, but what kind of change?”

Coun. Pam Copley, who heads up the municipality’s land use and planning sec-

tion, acknowledged that Oak Bay’s current mechanism for handling heritage issues is sorely lacking.

“Working on a crisis-by-crisis basis at the 11th hour is not fair to us as decision mak-ers, it’s not fair to the people for whom heritage is important, and it’s not fair for the owners and the residents of this municipal-ity,” she said.

Copley pointed to the need for a proac-tive system of identifying properties and buildings with heritage value, includ-ing a “beefed up” community heritage register.

Wilson reminded coun-cillors that they had all expressed support for heritage issues during last November’s election cam-paign. “Oak Bay needs a strong heritage plan and pro-gram supported by staff and council. … Otherwise we will be doomed to have many more meetings like this.”

Despite the fact that most who spoke acknowledged that it is likely too late to prevent the demolition of the Vic-toria Avenue house – the protection order expires March 9 – council opted to wait for more information about the potential finan-cial implications of their decision.

The vote was not unanimous, however. With Coun. Cairine Green absent, a motion to rescind the protection order was defeated by virtue of a 3-3 deadlock.

Councillors John Herbert, Michelle Kirby and Kevin Murdoch voted in favour of lifting the order, while Copley, Tara Ney and Mayor Nils Jensen opposed the motion.

The matter returns to council for its Feb. 13 meeting, where it is expected that municipal staff will be directed to obtain an appraisal of the property.

Motivated Oak Bay students such as Liam McDonough plan to apply for as many as possible.

He’s hoping to get accepted to the Gustafson School of Business at the University of Victoria and is in the middle of completing his application.

Aware he may not gain immediate acceptance, despite holding a 96-per-cent average in his Grade 12 courses, he is still looking into ways to help pay for whatever education he’ll be signed up for come fall.

“At the beginning of the year I applied for some really big ones,” he says, referring to the Loran Award and a national TD Canada Trust scholarship worth $70,000. “I’ve done non-stop applications on the Internet and applied for five so far, with more to come.”

Alexander places the cash awards into two categories. Scholarships are “strings-attached” money, rewarding academic or community achievement, while bursaries are “no-strings” amounts based on financial need – “take the gift and put it to good use.”

Last year 21 grads received scholarships worth at least $1,000. While many scholarships reward academic achievement, students specializing in other fields, from arts to trades, can be eligible for specific awards.

One scholarship Alexander discovered offers cash for students with cowboy heritage.

“There’s something for everybody out there. Don’t think just because you don’t

have the highest grades that you don’t qualify,” he says.

Oak Bay 2011 grad Logan Graham entered his first year at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder Business School last fall having secured $60,000 in scholarships – enough to cover his tuition, books and the costs of living on campus for four years.

Treating the application process as an investment in his future, he says, helped refine his work ethic.

“Even though Grade 12 was a really busy year, my family was very supportive and they helped me manage my time,” he says.

“You have to look at the cost-benefit situation: looking forward to the future. Putting all this time in now is going to reward you in the future.”

For students who haven’t investigated scholarships but are considering post-secondary education, Alexander

highly recommends having “the money conversation” with their family.

“The true cost of education is shocking,” he says, pointing to the average cost of a four-year degree at the University of Victoria of roughly $25,000 for tuition and books.

Pringle notes that relatively few students average in the 90s academically and that many imminent grads still don’t know where their path will lead.

At the very least, she says, looking into scholarships can help clarify one’s interests and present options.

“It’s a journey of discovery.”

There are several significant differences in the new design. The biggest sees two sections of the 320-bed facility lowered to five storeys, from six. To make that happen, some services, including the kitchen and a proposed adult daycare, have been relocated into the basement of the central section, which remains at six storeys.

The Cotter Architects design for Garry Oaks Village

also repositions the buildings so that less of the facility faces Cadboro Bay Road and neighbouring houses on Hampshire Avenue. It’s also more centred on the site to allow for preservation of all but three Garry oaks.

Other changes include reducing the site’s access points from two to one by eliminating a proposed Cranmore Road entrance/exit, increasing the number of parking spaces by two to 109 (one for every three beds) and

moving the service entrance to a spot where it will have less impact on neighbours.

Though the consultant has yet to be hired – that will happen in the next couple of weeks – Baptist Housing already hosted an open house last Wednesday (Feb. 1) which was attended by close to 50 community members.

At least one neighbour is much more satisfied with the way things are going.

“Each neighbour has to speak for

themselves, but I think they’ve tried to address most of the issues,” said John Rankin, whose Hampshire Road home faces the Oak Bay Lodge property. “The key concern I had was the process. I’ve always said that if the process is good, I will not object.”

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said he expects things “will be a lot smoother” the second time around.

“One of the things that we learned last time is that creating an artificial deadline for this important process is not a very good idea,” he said. “We’ll certainly move the process along expeditiously, but not so fast that people won’t have a chance to participate.”

Council expects to confirm the consultant at its Feb. 13 meeting, and will determine a timeline for the consultation process in the coming weeks.

Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?BC Housing’s new Home Adapta-tions for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications that will allow them to continue living at home. Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe. The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

Types of eligible projects include:

• Handrails in hallways or stairways,• Rampsforeaseofaccess,• Easy-to-reachworkorstorage areas in the kitchen,• Leverhandlesondoors,• Walk-inshowerswithgrab bars, and• Bathtubgrab-barsandseats.

The projects must be permanent and fixed to the home, although exceptions can be made for equip-ment that gives access to an exist-ing part of the home (e.g. a bath lift). The program will not cover supportive care, portable aids such as walkers, household appliances, emergency repairs to roofs and

furnaces, or maintenance work.LaunchedinJanuary2012,HAFIisfunded by the Government of Can-ada and the Province of British Columbia through the Canada-B.C. Affordable Hous-ing Initiative.

I took my toddler son to a rugby game recently.

We caught the later stages of a remarkable match and he sat on my shoulders, fixated.

Granted, he’s too young to know what it means to see Rugby World Cup players and possible future Olympians competing for local clubs.

For junior, the smash and hustle of 30 players chasing one ball is good enough.

Sadly (more like full-on crying, in his case), I had to cut the post-game interviews short. Taking junior to sporting events is a trial-and-error experiment on my days off.

Yet I still learned something new, thanks to some compassionate interviewees.

The Canadian Direct Insurance Premier Rugby League, which has featured nearly every player who has donned a Canada jersey in recent years – save for a couple of imports with Canadian passports – limits the number of nationally carded, non-homegrown players to three per team per game.

This, despite the opening of Rugby Canada’s new $1-million, high-performance training facility in Langford, which draws even more national-calibre players to the four South Island clubs.

Rugby Canada’s centre is a final step towards centralizing the national program on the South Island. It will provide training for Canada’s under-17 and U-20

teams, plus the senior sevens and 15s sides. It’s a boon for the local economy and athletics scene, growing Victoria’s reputation as a mecca for Canadian athletes.

Except from the sidelines, it leaves one wondering where the players are supposed to play in the meantime.

Every Island team in the CDI Premier League has found a home for migrating national players at one point: the University of Victoria Vikes, James Bay Athletic Association, and though they’re not currently in the premier league, the Velox Valhallians.

The B.C. Rugby Union approved the carded player rule by a 119-78 margin at its 2010 AGM. One club manager told me it was to prevent the “stacking” of teams with carded players they did not develop.

Doing the math, there are between 40 to 60 nationally carded senior players, with another couple dozen on the radar. Langford is the stepping stone to their international desires, and the Premier League is a stepping stone to Langford. Aside from about a dozen of those players playing pro in Europe, the rest rely on homes with one of the Premier League’s eight teams. That’s only 24 players walking into spots.

The Castaway-Wanderers benefited from an influx of eastern players hoping for a sniff at the Rugby World Cup when they won the provincial title last year. The Canadian team that defeated Tonga

in the World Cup was heavily flavoured with that same CW team.

A stipulation to the rule says that carded players who are “developed” by the teams for which they are playing are exempt. UVic and UBC are also immune, because of their varsity status.

It means James Bay can throw national scrum half Sean White and fly half Connor Braid into the lineup at any time. And when national sevens captain Phil Mack finishes his time at UVic, he too will be free to play for James Bay. The same goes for the Castaway-Wanderers, with Michael Fuailefau and Beau Parker.

The rule does slow graduating Vikes with national team status from jumping ship to Island clubs, however. National prop Andrew Tiedeman and his Vikes front row mate Toby Peyton came to the Castaway-Wanderers from UVic this year. Tiedeman is CW’s new captain, while Peyton hasn’t played in the Premier League yet this year.

One would expect Velox to get a boost sooner than later, and hopefully it means their return to the Premier League next year. But that’s still only a few players. Perhaps the answer lies in a return of the Pacific Pride under-23 program, which was also part of the Premier League.

Whatever the answer, there’s got to be some way to see more of Canada’s rugby team in Victoria besides at practice, or on the Premier League sidelines.

Rugby’s stars need a place to play

‘The B.C. Rugby Union voted in 2010 to prevent the stacking of rosters.’

Businesses must be kept in loop

A lot of thought went into how the long-term closure of Craigflower Bridge would affect everything from schoolkids to salmon. However, planners were much less mindful in their treatment of a segment especially sensitive to upheaval these days.

Small business owners who count on access to their shops for customers seem to have been left out of most discussions around replacing the bridge.

Traffic, it is said, flows like water through a city’s streets. Motorists will find the quickest way to get where they need to go. When one route closes, formerly less-popular roads will attract a trickle of traffic before becoming a new tributary until the blockage is removed.

Even then, vehicles will stick to the paths they know unless another route proves itself to be more efficient.

Planners take this into consideration when contemplating changes to traffic patterns. Whether the disruption is caused by road maintenance or more significant upgrades, such as a new bridge, care is taken to try and ease the pain for the public.

In the case of the Craigflower Bridge, the municipalities it connects – Saanich and View Royal – are primarily looking for options to allow pedestrians and cyclists to still be able to cross that stretch of the Gorge waterway. Motorists, who arguably account for the majority of people shopping at Admirals Walk, will have to journey an extra four kilometres to get across.

We hope people will think beyond their immediate circumstance and make a choice to stay loyal to those affected businesses that have earned their trust. But that’s a lot to ask.

A better solution would have been for municipal planners to give the area’s economic ecosystem the same consideration as the salmon and schoolkids.

More information much earlier in the process would have gone a long way to helping business owners prepare for the tough times they’re sure to face.

LETTERSLETTERS

B.C. Ferries should be run as a business by business people

B.C. Ferries has been a product of its own demise largely due to the fact that it is run by the provincial government. In my opinion it should be sold to a private group of investors and run like a business.

Having the option of reaching into the pocket of the taxpayer is one that is too tempting and is never going to be a solution to a failing business.

By having B.C. Ferries run by a private company, the market will dictate what fares should be and the salaries that should be paid. B.C. Ferries’ record speaks for itself. It has been one problem after another and it appears as though the public cannot wait for some form of failure from the company. We can all think of multiple examples of how this “business” has acted in a manner that we strongly disagree with.

So, let the government govern and businessmen run business because history shows you can’t do both.

Barrett SmithSaanich

Raising OAS eligibility brings too many problems

As an adult educator, I am surprised that there has been little or no discussion of cognitive and physical decline of adults due to normal, healthy aging and the impact of raising the age of OAS eligibility. For example, do we really want high school teachers to teach until age 67 – especially when there are growing numbers of unemployed younger teachers? Do we want 67-year-old propane truck or bus drivers on the road when they have declining coordination and reaction times? Occupations such as mining or nursing – or a host of other occupations that involve physical strength – surely should not require employees to work two additional years before receiving OAS.

Cognitive and physical decline with aging is a reality. Research has shown that the decline is gradual, but inevitable. What evidence exists that the federal government has taken such research into consideration as they increase the age of eligibility?

Finally, by 2030, when the baby boom bulge has passed, the percentage of GDP expended

by the existing pension schemes will decline – a demographic fact the Tories somehow ignore. I guess it gets in the way of their current promotion of an expensive, corporate private model rather than a more cost-efficient expanded CPP model.

Some of us may choose to continue working full or part time, but surely one should have a choice to retire at an age when one still has one’s health and not be penalized for retiring before the Tory-imposed age of 67.

No wonder the Tories did not raise the issue during the last federal election.

It’s time to think outside the proposed Northern Pipeline

The two main reasons for the proposed Northern Pipeline are to meet the ever-increasing removal of bitumen from the tar sands and to send the stuff to Asian markets.

If we get beyond our need for instant gratification, plan for the longer term and heaven forbid, reduce bitumen extraction instead, not only will we not need the pipeline, but the value of the bitumen will increase over time because of the world’s scarcity of oil.

In choosing to live with less oil, we will be motivated/forced to develop and employ renewable energy. As an added benefit, environmental degradation will be slowed. And even if there’s not a consensus regarding mankind’s influence on climate change, it’s simply immoral to burn any more fossil fuel than we have to.

Secondly, we should keep our oil for ourselves, which would enable us to stop the ridiculous policy of importing oil in Eastern Canada. Any leftovers should be transported in existing pipelines to markets in the U.S.

Thirdly, there is so much money in oil that we should: 1. Reduce the subsidies to the oil companies and direct them instead towards the development of renewables, and 2. Tax the oil companies like they do in Norway: $550 billion and counting in Norway’s rainy day fund.

Our politicians need to man up and stop kissing Big Oil butt. It’s Canadians who own this black gold and Big Oil has very few other options.

Re: Religion at fault for persecution of the Jews (Letters, Jan. 20).

It would be a denial of history to claim that Christian teachings played no role in the development of the homicidal anti-Semitism that claimed the lives of six million Jewish men, women and children during the Holocaust. But history need not chain us.

The lessons of the Holocaust impelled Christian leaders to meditation and introspection. Documents such as Bearing

Faithful Witness and Nostra Aetate (In Our Age) – which extended the hand of friendship from the United Church of Canada and the Roman Catholic Church respectively – represent a sincere effort to achieve reconciliation.

The Jewish community itself has not been inactive in this regard, and offered Dabru Emet (Speak Truth) as a consideration of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. These documents do not represent

the last word in dialogue. Indeed they are barely the first words in a conversation that is long overdue.

We ignore the sounds of hate that echoed through the sacred space of the Emanu-El Jewish Cemetery at our shared peril, but we cannot permit that ugly growl to drown out the words that we must speak to each other.

Youth rec pass sales spike

A pilot project to sell youth recreation passes at a discount has proved wildly suc-cessful for Recreation Oak Bay.

The special promo-tion, which runs until the end of March, makes annual youth passes available for $99 instead of the old rate of $250. The result has been a mas-sive spike in sales. In the month of January alone, more passes were sold than the total for 2011.

As of last week 263 passes had been sold, compared to 153 through all of last year.

“It doesn’t mean there weren’t as many kids here last year, but they may have been buying single admis-sions or 10-packs,” said Janet Barclay, manager of recreation program services.

Recreation staff will be meeting with the municipal parks and

recreation commission soon to look at lower-ing the annual youth rate permanently, though likely not as far as $99.

Barclay envisions the promotion becom-ing an annual tradition around the holidays.

Contest of words set to begin

The Victoria Writ-ers’ Society is hosting a contest to find the best original, unpub-lished work from Van-couver Island and Gulf Islands writers.

Categories include short fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry. Short stories and cre-ative non-fiction up to 2,500 words can be submitted, or two poems of fewer than 48 lines in any style. The topics are open.

The entry fee is $15 for society members and $20 for non-members. Deadline for entries is May 1.

Cash prizes of $100 for first prize, $75 for

second prize and $50 for third prize will be awarded.

An evening with Rosie is an eve-ning in a cramped apartment and an equally cramped mind.

Rosie is a hoarder in need of a reality check, but it might be too late. Her apartment is jam-packed with stuff. She carries conversations with someone who isn’t there, and an eviction notice on her door is sending her world

for a spin. “Rosie (herself) is fun, quirky

and formidable,” says Gina McIn-tosh, writer and star of the one-woman play. “It’s a character study of a woman who’s on the verge.”

Rosie is the first full act play writ-ten by McIntosh, who sketched it out at a Charles Tidler workshop in the Belfry Theatre last year. It’s also her first time performing a full act one-woman show.

“At the Tidler workshop you get a lot of audience feedback, which is invalu-able, identifying issues and clearing things up,” McIn-tosh said.

Crowd responses to staged readings of Rosie at UNO Fest and You Show were touching.

“From both workshops we had three or four people say they had a parent or a friend who was a hoarder, or if they didn’t know a hoarder, that they were going home to clean their house.”

Theatregoers in Victoria will know McIntosh from several per-formances over the years, as well as her role as Flora, the former host of Atomic Vaudeville who twice hosted Monday Magazine’s M Awards gala.

She had no plan to write a play at the Tidler writing workshop but came away with the heart-clutch-ing character. Rosie’s an in-your-face example of how hoarding, an

epidemic brought to life through reality televi-sion, goes hand in hand with mental illness.

Rosie isn’t based on any-one specifically from McIntosh’s personal life, she said.

“I’ve known fun, quirky and formidable women but they’re

not Rosie.”The play puts mental illness in

the spotlight so much so that the Citizens’ Counselling Centre of Greater Victoria was brought on board as an opportunity to build a greater awareness around the risk of social isolation, specifically with Victoria residents.

“Theatre is so immediate, it’s someone you can reach out and touch, you can hear them breath-ing, and it opens up something you might not expect,” Mcintosh said.

Which is why the Feb. 15 mati-nee and Feb. 17 evening shows will have a casual post-show con-versation hosted by members of the counselling centre, and every show will have a counsellor answering questions in the lobby.

“Right after the (performance) is when we hear all the personal stories. So that’s the time when it comes a little bit raw, when some-

thing’s bother-ing you.”

Rosie is the fourth produc-tion from the WAVE Theatre Ensemble, with Monica Pren-

dergast and Kate Rubin co-direct-ing with McIntosh.

One Thousand Cranes, a beauti-fully crafted show from Tokyo, puts a human face to nuclear fallout.

A young Japanese girl is diag-nosed with leukemia after Hiroshima. Determined to live, she folds origami cranes, which are a symbol of hope. Across the Pacific in Canada, a young boy believes that there’s nothing he can do to stop an inevitable nuclear war.

The show is based on the true story of Sasaki Sadako, a young girl who discovered that she had radiation-induced leukemia nine years after the bombing of Hiroshima. Accord-ing to ancient Japanese legend, any-one who folds 1,000 origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. Sadako died in 1955 and there is now

a statue dedicated to her at the Hiro-shima Peace Memorial in Japan.

The performance, by Japanese theatre company Bunkaza, weaves together these stories looking at the implications of nuclear war.

The play is performed in Japanese with English surtitles and is suitable for children aged 12 and up.

One Thousand Cranes is part of Intrepid Theatre’s 2012 season of international touring theatre, which includes shows from Quebec, Bel-gium and Japan.

One Thousand Cranes is at the Metro Studio, Feb. 16 and 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18/$23/$31. For more information go to intrepidthe-atre.com.

City rowers pull in Monster Erg results

Allie DeLarge of the Victoria City Rowing Club is a virtual champ, really.

DeLarge was one of 130 Victoria City Rowing Club junior rowers who entered the University of Victoria’s Monster Erg Indoor Rowing Competi-tion on Sunday (Feb. 5).

Athletes compete against each other on rowing machines, racing

a virtual distance of two kilometres. The com-puter generated course is projected on an over-head screen. It’s an offi-cial satellite event of the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championship, which runs concurrently in five cities across Canada.

DeLarge captured the junior women’s title and teammate Emily Lerhe finished fourth.

Rowing club’s Gemma Kerr and Caileigh Filmer captured first and sec-ond, respectively, in the junior-B women’s class, with 13-year-old-Antonia Frappell tied for third, despite stepping up a class from junior-C.

Vic City teammates Nicholas Frappell and Lachlan Palmer finished fourth and fifth in the boys junior-A for the club. Frappell, like his sister, had also stepped up a rung, and his fourth-place time in junior-A equalled a first place win his junior-B age bracket.

Next for the Vic City juniors is the Hunger-ford Cup regatta and the Head of the Shawnigan Regatta, Feb. 18 and 19.

Monster Erg results are available at Govikesgo.com.

The Vees blasted the Chillwack Chiefs 7-0, and though the game was a wash, Murphy’s tally stands as the game-winner.

Penticton (42-3-2) broke the record held by the 1989-90 New West-minster Royals. Murphy, a former Saanich Brave and Spectrum school grad, is second in league scoring with 78 points in 47 games. Next year Murphy will play NCAA hockey for Merrimack University.

Mount Doug, Claremont set for Saturday rematch Travis PatersonNews staff

The gym was a rockin’ on Tuedsday night as Mount Douglas hosted a loud, proud and in-your-face contest between the Rams and Oak Bay Bays senior boys basketball teams.

A late run by Mount Doug wasn’t enough, despite a series of baskets by their unstoppable guard, Elliot Rowe, as Oak Bay prevailed 73-69. Rowe ended the match with 20 points, tying the Bays’ Liam Horne for the game high in scoring.

Even more intense than the war on the floor was a battle of two schools in the stands. All three sets of bleachers were full and the crowd was on its feet for what seemed like the entire fourth quarter. The sea of green had the last laugh, and left Rams fans to bang their pots and pans another day.

“Excellent school spirit. Great work by (Mount Douglas),” said Bays coach Chris Franklin.

It was the Bays first win over the Rams in three tries this season, setting up an exciting Lower Island tournament at Oak Bay, Feb. 23 to 25.

“We’ve been getting better defensively and that showed tonight. The psychological factor helped tonight. Psycho-logically, I’d like (the players) to keep a bit more of an even keel over the season.”

Oak Bay’s speed was key in keeping the Rams from tying the score in the home stretch, when Rowe potted four straight baskets, including a three-pointer, to bring the Rams within two points in the final minute.

Bays guard Kaz Kobayashi carried the ball downcourt

with authority, creating passing space that allowed the Bays to pass it around when the Rams needed it most.

“Kobayashi is a physical player, and when he makes the right decisions he’s a difficult player to guard,” Franklin said. “I know Kobayashi had a good game when (his team-mates) have 15 points.”

Evan Woodson scored 19 for the Bays, while Conor Mor-gan scored 18 for the Rams.

“It could be an even more excited crowd when Oak Bay hosts the Lower Islands, in an even smaller gym,” said Rams coach Skip Cronck.

On Saturday (Feb. 11) the provincially No. 8 ranked Rams face the unranked Claremont Spartans for the first time since the Spartans surprised the Rams with an 83-74 win on Jan. 19. Last week the Spartans were at it again, upsetting the No. 7 ranked Bays 69-67.

“Claremont did a good job on both of us,” Cronck said.Game time on Saturday is 1 p.m. at Mount Doug.

WLA Shamrocks draft Jr. Rocks’ Karsen Leung in first roundTravis PatersonNews staff

Speed was the deciding fac-tor as the Victoria Shamrocks picked homegrown talent Karsen Leung from the junior Shamrocks in the first round of the Western Lacrosse Associa-tion draft on Monday.

Leung went sixth overall, one of three players from Victoria who went in the first round. Casey Jackson (Coquitlam Adanacs) was third overall and Cody Bremner (Nanaimo Tim-bermen) went seventh.

Shamrocks general manager Chris Welch said he and his staff debated who to take at sixth – Leung or Bremner. Both are talented field lacrosse play-ers in the NCAA, who came out of Claremont second-ary but played on different junior teams. Leung is an all-star transition player with a ton of speed and offensive capability. Bremner is a gritty goal-scorer with a great shot, unafraid to take a hit to get to the front of the net.

“The game today is all about speed and athleticism, and Leung brings that in spades,” Welch said. “We would’ve liked

Casey too,” Welch said. “Obvi-ously he wasn’t available to us. Our choice was Leung or Brem-ner, to take nothing away from Bremner. He’s a bright young player, with a gritty low post game.

“Leung’s been a call-up to the (senior) Sham-rocks the last couple of years, and has been identified for a while as a blue chip prospect.”

Going first overall was another transition player, Travis Cornwall, selected by the senior Coquitlam Adanacs from the junior Adanacs. Picking second and third, the Burnaby Lakers doubled up on Jacksons, taking Jackson Decker from the Jr. Lak-ers and one-time Jr. Shamrock Casey Jackson from Coquitlam,

respectively. The Shamrocks

were without a pick in the second round but chose twice in the third, taking Michael Krgovich from the Jr. Adanacs and Mitch McLaren from the Saanich Jr. B Tigers.

“We couldn’t let Krgovich fall any further in the draft with that type of pedigree,” Welch said. “We know there’s a chance Krgov-ich will take a year or two off of lacrosse. But he was the captain of Minto Cup finalist Adanacs in 2011, a major responsibility under (Ads) coach Curt Mala-

wsky, and we like that.”McLaren was once in the

pipeline for a junior-A career but fell out of favour due to

philosophical differences with his junior-A team, Welch said.

Leung and McLaren are differ-ent players who will both have a chance

to step into the transi-tion role this summer as

rookie stud Andrew Suitor has committed to playing in his native Ontario after one year in Victoria.

“We think (McLaren’s) one of the top defensive transition guys in the draft, a guy that can bring some of the things we lose with Suitor. He’s not a pugi-listic player but he’s a battler and feisty player.”

The Shamrocks picked up a pair of Claremont graduates in the fourth round who went else-where for junior-A, Asahel Beau-det from Nanaimo and Steve Higgs from the Delta Islanders.

Late in the draft, Victoria products Jake Ryan and Liam Kelly were taken. The Rocks’ last pick was Jr. Shamrocks defender of the year in 2011, Austin Powell, who hails from San Diego and plays NCAA lacrosse with Leung for Bellarm-ine University in Kentucky.

Nanaimo selected Victoria’s Tyler Matheson in the second round. The Jr. Shamrocks grad gets a chance to reunite with Bremner. The two were once junior-A hockey teammates with the Victoria Grizzlies.

Roszan HolmenNews staff

The City of Victoria’s official map of the future Johnson Street Bridge is giving residents a false impression of the replacement project, according to some new members of council.

“Residents are being completely misled right now,” said Coun. Shellie Gudgeon at last Thursday’s meeting of the governance and priorities committee.

At issue is a map indicating green space south of the down-town entrance to the bridge,

published on www.johnsonstreet bridge.com.

The map gives no indication of a development being considered by council on this land. Pending approval of a rezoning application, council has committed the land to Reliance Properties.

Coun. Ben Isitt agreed with Gud-geon’s take.

Citing an in-camera discussion Jan. 19, he said, “I would suggest this map is inaccurate.”

But Mayor Dean Fortin defended the map.

“This is currently what is being proposed,” he said. “It is truthful

until such time as we decide (oth-erwise).”

“That’s crap,” Gudgeon replied. “Excuse me?” Fortin interjected,

reminding her of the decorum expected at the council table.

Decorum quickly returned, but the incident highlighted a greater, and growing concern.

Nearly nine weeks since their inauguration to Victoria council, the three newly elected council-lors were still in the dark about the city’s biggest, most controversial infrastructure project.

“I’m getting inundated with ques-tions and I’d like to be brought up

to speed,” said Gudgeon.Others at the table, including

the mayor, echoed her call for a full briefing.

The new councillors “need to understand everything we went through,” Fortin told his engineer-ing staff. Until that happens “we are going to continually lurch.”

Council voted to move the brief-ing up from the end of the month to Feb. 7, after press deadline.

As for the map, project director Mike Lai promised, “we can cer-tainly make a modification to indi-cate the pending application.”
