Carbon credits a major expense for Island’s health authorityDaniel PalmerNews staff

The Vancouver Island Health Authority spent more than $880,000 last year to pay for carbon offsets, some-thing the organization attributes to colder weather in 2011 and the expansion of its hospitals.

The 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide produced by the authority is still six per cent lower than 2007 levels, when the province began requiring public bodies to pur-

chase offsets through crown corporation Pacific Carbon Trust. VIHA hopes to reduce its carbon footprint by 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020.

“Heat recovery from chilled water systems has huge potential and is being implemented at Victoria General and Nanaimo Regional General hospitals,” said spokes-person Shannon Marshall, adding that VIHA is also exploring neighbourhood energy systems with the City of Victoria and Capital Regional District.

Pacific Carbon Trust buys carbon credits from energy-

efficient companies in the private sector, and then sells them to school districts, health authorities and other government bodies to offset carbon output. Last year, the Trust sold $14 million in credits to public institu-tions.

The system is meant to create an across-the-board neutral carbon footprint throughout the province.

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, August 15, 2012 www.oakbaynews.com • A3

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Christmas Day 1985 is seared on one Oak Bay man’s mind.

That day, Phil Teece doused a fire on Chatham Island.

“People don’t realize the islands are tinder dry, even in the wet season,” he said.

The avid sailor has put out flames on the Songhees lands – Chatham and a large portion of Discovery islands – for more than 50 years. Teece, James Mantle and Andrew Manning, who was not at the ceremony, were recognized recently for their work on the private property that is subject to rampant trespassing. Mantle enjoyed visits to the island until garbage, floating in from the sea and left by boaters, got to him. He started to clean the beaches of seaborne debris and the trash left by people, slowly reclaiming and rebuilding the ecosystem as it returned to its natural state.

“That, for me, is the reward, to watch it all grow back,” he said. “It’s a mystic, mystic place.”

Joan Morris is among those preserving the heritage and plant life, working with the University of Victoria to study the ecology of the islands. She lived her first 10 years on Chatham, and knows the traditional plants of

the land well.“She is very connected to the island. She was born out

there, raised out there, and is doing a lot of work – over the last year and a half – to do some restoration work with UVic and Nancy Turner and some of her students looking at the ecosystem, the invasive species, to bring species at risk back to life,” said Songhees Coun. Ron Sam.

Last year she made many trips to the island – known as Tl’ches in Lekwungen – bringing a masters student to the land that she left in 1957.

UVic student Thiago Gomes, of Bra-zil, worked with Morris last summer to complete his master’s thesis addressing problems and challenges of the resto-ration of the “cultural keystone place.” Gomes has since returned home.

“Tl’ches is such a special place. It is like a history book in a landscape and seascape, a place where people have lived healthy and happy lives and sustained themselves for countless gener-ations,” said Turner, a biologist, ethnobotonist and Gomes’ UVic professor. The islands support edible, medicinal and otherwise useful plants that are a part of the rich cultural heritage of the islands.

“It also carries the imprint of more recent life ways, with the heritage fruit trees and other plants of more recent times, adopted into the food ways of the Songhees fami-lies who lived there,” Turner said. “The area is vulnerable in many ways to the impacts of invasive species, climate change, erosion and pollution.”

Over recent decades, since the Songhees fami-lies moved away after the well went dry in 1957, portions of the islands have deteriorated and some common species have disappeared, Turner said.

“It will take a continued and focused effort to restore and renew the vitality of the landscape. … In a sense, Tl’ches is a reflection of what a good part of Oak Bay and the Greater Victoria region was like before urbanization,” she said.

Newly instated patrols are aimed at combat-ing the increasing amount of garbage left on the islands by trespassers, which recently included a wheelchair. Songhees bylaw enforcement,

equipped with a new zodiac and RCMP will also increase patrols on and around the islands.

■ Part Three: Moving forward, patrolling the private property on Discovery and Chatham islands critical to the future.

Part 2 in a series looking at why and how the Songhees First Nation is protecting its private property on Chatham and Discovery islands.

The people who protect and restore the islands

“The area is vulnerable in many ways to the impacts of invasive species, climate change, erosion and pollution.”

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Songhees Coun. Ron Sam, right, shakes the hand of Phil Teece, while James Mantle looks on. The two men were recognized by the Songhees Nation for the work they’ve done to protect and restore the nation’s islands.

James Mantle, Phil Teece and Andrew Manning earned a lifetime pass for their work preserving the islands. It’s a card, that they should carry, issued by the Songhees Nation that certifies the men to be guests without permit or notification on the nation’s islands.

“Gentlemen like these need to be stood up and recognized by our nation for the work that they do in looking after our lands,” said Songhees Coun. Ron Sam.

The men were also given prints of the nation’s logo as thanks for their work.

A show of respect for those who care

Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

Dry grass and tinder trees are part of the concern surrounding fires left unattended on Chatham Island. Yet people still have fires and leave them burning, says Phil Teece who’s been putting out flames on the island for more than 50 years.

“It’s basically corpo-rate welfare,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “The bottom line for me is $14 million in tax money. If it was being handed out in any other kind of grant, peo-ple would be up in arms about it.”

The carbon-trading program has led to B.C. becoming the third-larg-est carbon offset econ-omy in North America. It is intended to fund green innovations and encour-age reductions in energy consumption.

The program has, however, failed to blos-som into an international exchange and has not attracted private indus-try.

Only $54,080, or 0.3 per cent, of carbon offset purchases last year came from the private sector.

“It’s a free-market fail-ure,” Bateman said. “If it were any other business, we’d shut it down and move on.”

The City of Victoria has pledged to be car-bon neutral by the start of 2013. It plans to imple-ment a kitchen scraps program next February that would remove an estimated 1,200 tonnes of carbon from its foot-

print annually, a reduc-tion of 30 per cent from current levels.

But the city is also con-sidering the purchase of offsets through Pacific Carbon Trust to meet its goal.

In a report submitted in 2008, the Oak Bay Cli-mate Change Task Force made several recommen-dations to reduce green-house gas emissions.

The municipality com-mitted to becoming car-bon neutral in its opera-tions by 2012.

“We committed to zero in on strategies to reduce our carbon output,” said Oak Bay Coun. Tara Ney.

“It was our committ-ment and I was fully behind it,” she added.

However, she said it seems to have “fallen off the radar.”

“I thought we were heading that way … but I don’t know,” she said.

Mayor Nils Jensen said the municipality budgeted to pay $35,000 in carbon offsets in 2012. “We’re doing quite well,” Jensen said. “We’re reducing our carbon footprint and are con-tinuing to do so.”

He cited energy sav-ings in Oak Bay recre-ation centres and the purchase of hybrid police vehicles as examples.

Daniel PalmerNews staff

Capital Regional District directors who hinder progress on the upcoming secondary sewage treatment project could face steep fines – even jail time – under new federal regulations.

CRD staff presented a report on new Fisheries Act regulations that warns directors if they intentionally do not meet the 2020 deadline for the project they could be fined up to $500,000 or face two years in prison.

“That’s for every individual incident, and each day the violation occurs is a separate incident,” said Denise Blackwell, chair of the CRD’s liquid waste management committee.

The federal wastewater regulations, brought into effect last month, identify nearly 400 communities across Canada that are considered high risk for their lack of secondary sewage treatment.

They must comply with the regulations by 2020 or face the steep penalties.

“The federal government believes we’re their No. 1 target for not meeting these regulations, and that’s why they’re giving us $280 million,” Blackwell said.

The federal and provincial governments have agreed to fund two-thirds of the Capital Region’s $782-million project, while the CRD will foot the remainder.

Despite the funding, some directors continue to challenge the high risk designation, citing a lack of scientific data.

“Virtually every credible marine scientist in the area

has said … ‘there’s not a problem here, this isn’t necessary,’” said director Vic Derman, a Saanich councillor.

“The prime minister recently said a pipeline should be determined by science. Well, then so should Victoria’s sewage situation.”

Critics have also been lobbying the CRD to request an exemption under the regulations and avoid the huge public expenditure.

The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment (ARESST) purports the current system of pumping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is environmentally

sound.But CRD staff wrote in

their report that “there are no opportunities to get an exemption from the new regulations, unless the facility is located in the north,” specifying only Nunavut, Northwest Territories and parts of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador as eligible areas.

Former federal environment minister David Anderson told the News that the regulations should be adjusted to allow regions like Greater Victoria the chance to utilize its unique geographical advantages for sewage treatment.

“If the federal government decided to have the same snow-removal requirements for Victoria as in Quebec, we would call that ridiculous,” Anderson said.

When the CRD passes a bylaw later this month, a process will begin to appoint a panel of seven experts who will run the project. While no CRD directors will sit on the panel, the bylaw will contain explicit language to ensure financial accountability, Blackwell said.

“Any changes to the budget in any way, shape or

Elderly woman bumps man with car

A 84-year-old Oak Bay woman was ticketed after fail-ing to yield to a pedestrian at Fort Street and Foul Bay Road on Aug. 9.

The woman allegedly bumped into a 85-year-old Oak Bay man who was crossing Foul Bay. The woman hit the man at a very slow speed while making a right turn, police said. The pedestrian was taken to hospital for possible knee injury.

Teen spotted with replica gun

An Oak Bay teen was lec-tured about the dangers of car-rying toy guns after being seen with a replica handgun at a bus stop.

The 15-year-old was spotted in the 2900-block of Foul Bay Rd. around 1 p.m. last Friday. The teen was allegedly hold-ing the handgun and pointing it in various directions, before boarding the bus.

Police stopped the bus at the intersection of Fort and Foul Bay and removed the

young man. The teen’s mother was notified and the youth was later released.

Scammer targets Oak Bay womanA 75-year-old Oak Bay woman nearly lost $250 to telephone fraud on Aug. 8.

The elderly woman allegedly received a phone call from a male who claimed to be from Microsoft. The man advised the woman that she needed new computer software, police said.

The woman gave her credit card number to the man and was charged approximately $250. However, the credit card company did not allow the transaction to go through.

Police are cautioning the public to not provide credit card numbers over the phone, unless sure the business is legitimate.

Break and enter on Cadboro Bay

Oak Bay police attended a break and enter at Devon Properties on Cadboro Bay Road Sunday.

A stairwell door was forced open to gain access to the building, police said. How-ever, an alarm sounded and it appears nothing was stolen. Saanich police forensic identifi-cation section will continue the investigation.

Range of VisionIf you have normal vision, you should be able

to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away. When your eye doctor examines your eyes he will measure your vision at long distance as well as close up. The measurement for distance vision is usually taken at 20 feet. A test for near vision is usually taken at the normal reading dis-tance or about 16 inches.

Near vision is used for reading, sewing, eat-ing and any other activity in which the object you are looking at is within arms length. Intermedi-ate vision includes computer screens, music on a stand, cards on a table etc. Distance vision is considered anything beyond that point. This would include looking at television or at people across the room, even though the distance is relatively short.

You need to see clearly wherever you happen to be looking. Straining your eyes to try to see ob-jects clearly can often cause headaches and other discomfort. If you think you may need glasses or contact lenses or a new lens correction, see your family optometrist for an examination.

VICTORIA – Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to underage drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught

selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked.

But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol. As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum

population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

Ask voters if they want a pipeline

Perhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle with Alberta – over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean – as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign.

It stands to reason, since the B.C. NDP has staked the opposed-to-pipeline position and the B.C. Conservatives have claimed the support-with-conditions spot.

However, by demanding that B.C. receive oil royalties from profits made from what flows through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support the Enbridge proposal. Those opposed have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage.

Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release, when he said the B.C. Liberal government has missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.” John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to “consult and accommodate” First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories.

If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed through their territories the pipeline simply will not be.

With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, with First Nations still on the sidelines and with strong opposition among the public, perhaps it would be wise for Clark to add a non-binding referendum question to the May 14, 2013 general election ballot.

A simple question – Are you in favour of the Enbridge pipeline proposal? – could produce results that tell the government of the day exactly which direction it should travel on this pipeline proposal.

LETTERS

The letter about bee poop (Letters Aug. 8) got me into a chain of thought on the wider problem of our attitude to nature.

I also own a car and, starting in spring, there is a rain of aphid poop from the oaks which forms a sticky coating compounded with a dusting of pollen. This annoys me – and don’t get me started about incontinent seagulls.

I propose cutting down all oak trees to eliminate this problem. No, I am not serious, I’m just trying to point out that we are still in the mindset of the early European settlers to whom the wilderness was the enemy to be eliminated to create a congenial and profitable habitat.

A common attitude is that people are free to worry about the environment or climate change, as long as they don’t interfere with my freedom to enjoy my life as I see fit. Unfortunately, as children have less and less contact with nature and get most of their information from screens, the above attitude is spreading. The concept that we are part of the environment and are now the controlling organism is lost.

The above situation has never occurred before so we lack a political mechanism to take it into account. Science puzzles politicians. So thanks for the letter on bee poop, but over the centuries, modifying the environment for our immediate convenience has had disastrous results and will increasingly continue to do so.

M.J. HarveyOak Bay

Re: Why not reno? (Letters, Aug. 8)A writer asked me what “modern standards” would

require a larger Oak Bay Lodge. The answer is simple: the current building does not

meet modern standards of care. If one takes the legally mandated square footage per resident and multiplies that by the current number of residents, it would require a significantly larger building than exists today. We had near-unanimous desire to keep these beds in Oak Bay, and so supporting that principle also required supporting a larger building.

The current building may be used for other purposes in the future, but not for residential and dementia care as currently exists.

For all the pros and cons of the Oak Bay Lodge proposal, we now face the reality that Oak Bay will be the only core municipality without residential care or dementia beds. We will have lost 280 care beds, 256 full time jobs, and the ability to provide a full continuum of care within Oak Bay. Rather than increasing community care by a fairly modest 14 per cent, we are losing it all. Rather than contributing to the regional care needs, we will now be wholly dependent on other communities to house our elderly in need.

Even those opposed to the specifics of the project can recognize that Oak Bay will be poorer for this loss.

Kevin Murdoch Oak Bay councillor

Recent letters critical of our decision to deny the Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment proposal suggest that Oak Bay does not want to play its part in providing regional care beds for seniors. This assumption is misinformed and does a disservice to the residents of Oak Bay and to those of us on Oak Bay council who voted against the variances. We found this one of the most challenging decisions in recent memory.

One of the main factors that influenced our decision was the planning report, paid for by Baptist Housing and prepared by Focus Consulting – the results of which have been overlooked by letter writers and media reports.

The report presents compelling

information critical of the Oak Bay Lodge proposal, concluding that it represented a system failure from a community planning perspective, and stating, “communities must develop and grow in a collaborative environment rather than reviewing single structures in isolation.”

We relied heavily on this report for two reasons: local council members do not have planning expertise; and Oak Bay municipality has no qualified planner on staff.

At no time did VIHA, the CRD or Baptist Housing collaborate with the community at large in planning this proposal; decisions were made and presented to municipal council and the community as a fait accompli.

The Focus report also suggested

that the proposal was fraught with challenges and had potentially significant negative impacts on the neighbourhood. We also listened to the results of public feedback, as the majority of opinion agreed with the Focus report, that this proposal did not lend itself to the character of the community and did not fit with the surrounding neighbourhood.

Oak Bay not only wants to provide quality public seniors’ care but also wants to work with VIHA and directly with seniors who we believe should have a voice in planning their future. We believe that we can do better than the “one size fits all” approach recently presented to us.

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Darryl James Thompson, 47, faces charges of sexual interference with a minor after reports that three children were inappropriately touched at Esquimalt Recreation Centre over two days.

The View Royal man was arrested Thursday (Aug. 9) at the Esquimalt pool.

After a pair of incidents were reported late last Wednesday (Aug. 8), pool staff identified a potential suspect based on a general description. Staff witnessed what they felt was an inappropriate act and called police. The man was removed from the pool area and was arrested around 2 p.m.

“Staff identified him,

brought him out of the pool and contacted our people immediately,” said Insp. Keith Lindner of VicPD’s West Division, adding he was impressed with staff response. “When they knew he was in the building they called us.”

The Thursday incident followed a report Wednesday (Aug. 8) evening when two children told parents after the outing that they’d been inappropriately touched.

The suspicions by staff arose the night before after parents called the recreation centre to report the incidents in the leisure pool, said Lindner. A second child also reported being touched Wednesday.

Staff followed protocol under the circumstances, said Scott Hartman, Esquimalt director of parks and recreation services.

“We’re trained in observing these things. It’s unfortunate that it happens, but all of our

staff are trained to respond accordingly around child protection,” he said. “Everyone, because of what happened last night … staff were extra diligent.”

Thompson was not known to police or on the Esquimalt recreation ‘watch list.’

Hartman said the suspect was not a rec centre member, but was a member of the Leisure Involvement For Everyone program,

which provides discounted access to recreation facilities.

Police are not releasing ages of the three children or details of the incidents.

“If there are other victims we want to speak to them,” Lindner said. “When a kid has confidence in his or her mom or dad to go forward and say this is what happened, that’s huge … I commend all the parties involved.”[email protected]

First they were gifted with plans for a new building, a scenario that ensures the Gorge Waterway Nature House can stay open dur-ing the winter.

Now, a grant for educational program-ming will help to ensure the structure, to be built in Esquimalt Gorge Park, has enough activity to warrant keeping the doors open throughout the school year.

The Rotary Club of Victoria-Harbourside

has given the World Fisheries Trust – which operates the nature house – a $10,000 grant.

“It will allow us to carry on the seaquaria-in-schools program with much more con-fidence, especially reaching inner-city schools that can’t afford it,” said the trust’s executive director Joachim Carolsfeld. “We’ve been struggling to keep it going,” he said, adding few funders see environmental education as important anymore.

The education program teaches kids about local marine ecosystems. It installed

permanent seaquaria – equipment that can include an aquarium – in 35 schools and brings students from other schools to the centre on field trips. The grant money will be used, in part, to buy equipment for the Nature House.

In June, the Vancouver Island Construc-tion Association chose the nature house as its legacy project. The new building will be bigger and heated, allowing for year-round operation.

When the Rotarians got the news, they invited Carolsfeld to submit his wish list

for programming.“We were so impressed with the wish list,

we gave them more money than they even asked for,” said Maureen Duncan, represent-ing the club. “We like to fund projects that benefit the whole community. I’m hoping it is going to put Esquimalt on the map for the Greater Victoria area.”

The Rotary Club of Victoria-Harbourside has approximately 95 members. For more information, go to www.harboursiderotary.org.

The 229 cruise ships docking at Ogden Point this summer may bring in enviable tourism dol-lars to Victoria, but the increased traffic also presents a major safety concern to surrounding residents.

Each weekend, doz-ens of taxis funnel through the two-lane streets of James Bay, often prompting com-plaints about speeding.

“They just go fast – really fast. They don’t yield to pedestrians,” said Rhonda Schil-ling, who criss-crosses Oswego Street each day as a Canada Post letter carrier.

Reserve Const. John Varley voluntarily moni-tors traffic speeds across the city on behalf of Victoria police.

“Several residents have come up and asked us to be (on Oswego Street) at the time the cruise ships come in, because the cabs are just notorious for flying through here,” he said.

To appease hum-bugged residents, the Greater Victoria Har-bour Authority has teamed up with local taxi companies and VicPD to penalize lead-footed drivers.

“The (taxi) permits now say, ‘if you are caught speeding, we will pull your (Ogden Point) pass for a period of time,’” said Curtis Grad, harbour author-ity president and CEO.

“That’s something entirely new this year and it’s been a pretty effective tool and the

taxi management com-panies have been fully supportive of that.”

The harbour author-ity uses two of its own speed monitors to keep track of taxis wanting to maximize on the more than 10,000 passengers and crew that arrive at Ogden Point between Thursday and Sunday in the summer months.

In mid-June, VicPD started an education program with taxi driv-ers servicing the cruise ship terminal, about the same time complaints started coming in from area residents.

“We will co-operate with them, we do worry about the safety of the people in the James Bay area,” said Surinder Kang, operations man-ager at Yellow Cabs.

Kang said he was only aware of one driver who has had a permit suspension after being flagged for speeding, but said the program will likely continue in

the coming years.“It’s just like the police

giving you a ticket. I hope it deters and the drivers co-operate,” he said.

While Grad declined to give specifics on the number of penalized drivers, he said the perennial issue has been effectively reduced.

“It’s fair to say it’s got the attention of the

drivers and the desired effect is there,” he said.

Between May and October, 675,000 cruise ship passengers and crew will pass through Ogden [email protected]

Harbour authority takes on speeding taxis


The Greater Victoria Public Library is seeing a surge in online interest, after releasing a free app that lets users easily search for bestsellers and rare finds alike.

More than 600 people have downloaded the library’s mobile app, including 126 users in Europe, since its launch last month.

“People can be in a bookstore in Paris, and if they see a book they like and want to get it when they come back to Victoria, they can just scan it and see if it’s here,” said Alyssa Polinsky, GVPL communications manager.

Published books are equipped with unique barcodes that allow the app to easily search for titles, she said.

Perhaps the most appealing feature of the app is that it functions as a digital library card.

“You can also place a hold on books, the same as you would on the website. … It shows me how many holds I have, whether I have fines, and uses GPS to find my nearest location,” said library IT manager Dan Phillips.

To make the most of the app, users will need to have a library account, he said.

HOT TICKETComedy Fest Gala Show

Kyle WellsNews staff

It’s the only festival in Victoria that’s guaranteed to have you in stitches.

This is the second year for the grass-roots Fibrations fibre art festival, running Sunday, Aug. 19. It’s a gathering of fibre art-ists of all types to sell their products, talk shop with enthusiasts and fellow practitio-ners and give demonstrations illustrating the process behind the craft.

Last year’s inaugural event was borne out of the sudden cancellation of the Vic-toria Fibre Festival. A group of fibre artists quickly stepped up to organize an event to replace it, with little time but lots of enthu-siasm.

“We had very little time, about a month,” co-organizer and Knotty By Nature fibre arts store co-owner Ryan Davis said. “It was really fun, we just all pulled together, did a bunch of work and made it happen. It went amazingly well. There was just a great amount of excitement about it.”

This year’s event is capturing the same spirit, with all the organization done by volunteers and a focus on making it artist-friendly and widely inclusive. Costs for ven-dors are kept low and all the money raised, aside from money earned by the vendors,

goes right back into the event. “Last year it just had the best vibe in

the air. … It was quite special,” Davis said. “A lot of people sold out of their stuff that they brought, so people were very excited about how well they did.”

The cost to vendors to participate is a donation of a $35 retail value item that is then put up as a prize at the event in a toonie raffle. The money from the raffle pays for the event. The idea is to keep costs low and participation high so more people, including hobbyist fibre artists, can participate.

About 35 vendors took part in last year’s event and this year organizers have already had to cut the registration off at 50 ven-dors.

Davis said that if you can name a fibre art, it will be at the event.

Woven, knit, needle-felted and other fin-ished products will be in abundance. This includes practical items such as scarves and hats, but also more creative display works.

Supplies will also be plentiful. Wool, knit-ting yarn and all the other tools of the trade needed for fibre art will be for sale. A couple of local hand-dyed knitting yarn producers will even be there selling prod-ucts.

Food vendors will also be on-site, includ-ing a merchant who sells knitting needle-shaped chocolate.

Davis is a weaver primarily. His wife and Knotty By Nature co-owner Stephanie Papik

taught him how to use a loom about eight years ago and he “took to it.”

“It’s very meditative and relaxing and you make beautiful things,” Davis said.

There are many rea-sons people take to fibre art, either produc-ing it or enjoying the outcome.

“It’s practical a lot of times. It’s art and it’s wearable at the same time, so that’s kind of nice,” Davis said. “What I love about fibre art is that it has an organic element to it, almost like it’s a combination of control and chaos. Because every fibre behaves differently and they can interact with each other.”

Fibrations takes place in the St. Ann’s Academy Orchard (635 Humboldt Street) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Maria Manna, Maureen Wash-ington and April Gislason will rock your soul with classic Soul Train and Motown Gospel in a fundraiser for Mercy Ships Can-ada this Sunday.

Featuring Thomas Kinzel on piano, Joey Smith on bass and Damian Graham on drums, these great ladies of jazz are all accom-plished singers and recording artists in their own right, and combined, they create a night to remember.

Jazz lovers will delight in lis-tening to these three extraor-dinary singers together on stage as they create an eve-ning of music featuring some of jazz music’s most classic

ballads and standards. Manna exudes professional

confidence and a magnetic charm that is woven into her performances, from swing to ballad and jazz, while Washing-ton combines the sultry soulful-ness of Etta James with the jazz-pop flair of Holly Cole and Jann Arden. To top the group off, from a powerful ballad to hard-edge rock, Gislason can sing it all.

Proceeds from the concert will go to Mercy Ships, which operates hospital ships serving some of the poorest developing nations of the world.

The Africa Mercy is the world’s largest non-governmental hospi-tal ship, and is dedicated to the continent of Africa. Mercy Ships programs promote health by empowering developing nations and by meeting the urgent surgical needs of the world’s

forgotten poor. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has

performed more than 61,000 life-changing and life-saving opera-tions such as cleft lip and palate repairs, cataract removals and lens implants, orthopaedic pro-cedures, facial reconstruction and obstetric fistula repairs. It has treated more than 539,000 patients in village clinics and trained 5,770 local health-care teachers.

Tickets for the Ladies of Gos-pel are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Registration deadline is Saturday Aug. 18.

Tickets are available online at regimojo.com/registrations/68/forms or call Hermann’s at 250-388-9166. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For more information on Mercy Ships go to mercyships.ca.

Oppelt was born in Edmonton and went on to live in Calgary, Vancouver and Adelaide, Aus. before settling in Victoria, where she paints from her home studio.

An acomplished artist, Oppelt presents work drawing on Oriental themes in acrylic, oil, pastel and watercolour.

Her work has been featured at the Cedar Hill Gallery, Sooke Harbour House Gallery, Victoria International Airport and Artishow, a plein air art event on the lawn of the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

Arrgh, me mateys, it’s Pirate Pak time againDon’t be surprised if you

stop in to your local White Spot Restaurant today

(Aug. 15) and your host greets you wearing an eyepatch.

Today is adult Pirate Pak day, when a portion of sales of the packaged meals goes toward sending kids across B.C. and Alberta to Zajac Ranch for Chil-

dren. The summer

camp, located on Stave Lake near Mission, gives chil-dren and young adults with life-threatening ill-nesses and chronic disabilities recre-ation opportuni-ties they may not otherwise enjoy.

“I think it’s a great day for a charity,”

says Shaun Golob, general man-ager at White Spot’s restaurant in Colwood. “Anything we can do, anything to help anybody out, we love to do. It’s also one of our busiest days of the year.”

Golob, who transferred to the location earlier this year, planned to hit Value Village to stock up on pirate gear for his staff members to wear.

“It’s that one day a year when people can act like a kid.”

The promotion sees $2 from the sale of every adult Pirate Pak on Aug. 15 go to the cause. White

Spot aims to break its fundrais-ing record of $46,714 this year and has so far raised $152,000 for the ranch.

In the Capital Region, White Spot restaurants are located in Victoria at 710 Caledonia Ave. and 1871 Fort St., in Saanich at 3965 Quadra St., in Colwood at 1845 Island Hwy., in Saanichton at 2401 Mt. Newton X Rd. and at the Victoria International Air-port.

Most iconic towntitle up for grabs

Victoria has been named a finalist in Canada’s Top 10 Most Iconic Towns contest, through a survey sponsored by Labatt Blue. Greater Victoria residents and anyone else has until Aug. 18 to vote for the city, which is vying for the 2012 title and the inaugural Good Stuff Award, which comes with a $25,000 com-

munity grant, and an Ultimate End of Summer party on Labour Day, courtesy of Labatt Blue. Vot-ing can be done by visiting Face-book.com/LabattBlue.

Sooke Harbour Housegrabs Taste wine awards

Following Taste: Victoria’s Festival of Food and Wine last month, Sooke Harbour House came away with a double honour. The legendary West Coast eatery, which captured the Best Show-case of Island Wines and Best Overall Wine Program awards, was acknowledged for its com-mitment to educating staff and its diners about awareness and appreciation of local wines.

Oak Bay’s Vis a Vis Wine & Charcuterie Bar won Most Diner Friendly Wine Menu, for creating a wine list that is “approachable and easy for diners to under-stand.”

Designers tacklecustom chair project

Eleven local furniture design-ers are putting their best cre-ative feet forward to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Lûxe Home Interiors has ini-tiated the Pink Chair-ity fund-raiser, in which designers cre-ate a unique chair in honour of someone who has had breast

cancer. The chairs will ultimately be placed on display in the Luxe showroom at 2655 Douglas St. throughout October.

On Oct. 26 the chairs will be auctioned off at a gala event with all funds brought in going to the cause. For more information and a list of the participating design-ers, visit yourstyleyourway.ca/luxe-connects/pink-chairity or call 250-386-7632.

Vikes go six for nine at Olympics

A bronze medal for long-distance swimmer Richard Weinberger has the UVic Vikes looking sharp after six of its nine current and for-mer athletes medalled at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Weinberger placed third in the men's open water 10km marathon swim on Friday (Aug. 10). The 22-year-old finished in one hour, 50 minutes and 0.30 seconds, just 35 seconds back of gold-medal winner Oussama Mellouli (1:49:55.10) from Tunisia. Coincidentally, Mellouli had already won bronze in the men’s 1,500m freestyle, beaten by Vikes silver-medallist Ryan Cochrane.

Vikes rowing alumni Doug Csima and Gabe Bergen of the men’s eight, and Darcy Mar-quardt and Rachelle Viinberg of the women’s eight, all won silver.

Rowers at world championships

Rowing Canada’s team for this week’s 2012 World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships in Bulgaria, Aug. 15 to 19, is stacked with Greater Victoria athletes.

The entire junior wom-en’s four is from Victoria, with Allie Delarge and Emily Lerhe from the Vic-toria City Rowing Club, and Jordan Watson and Isabella Watt from the Gorge Rowing and Pad-dling Centre. Vic City rower Elizabeth Fenje of Stanford University is in the senior women’s light-weight quad and UVic rower Kai Langerfeld is in the men’s coxed pair.

Bantam Whalers second in province

The Westshore Whal-ers B2 team took silver at the recent bantam B provincial lacrosse cham-pionships. The Whalers went 3-0 in round-robin play and won the semifi-nal, but lost to the Chilli-wack Mustangs 10-5 in the final. Chris Reid and Noah Holler each scored twice in the final for the Whalers, and Jarrett Mal-loch also scored a goal.

Back on July 15 the Whalers defeated the Saanich Tigers for the Island bantam B title.

Nomads ready for Canadian ultimate championships this week

Overlooking View Street, Dave Pettenuzzo’s office is well-decorated with national and world championship trophies.

The trophies belong to the Nomads.This week Pettenuzzo is strapping on the

cleats one more time as his team, the reign-ing world-champion Nomads, is competing in the masters division (over-33) of the Canadian Ultimate Championships, which run Thursday to Sunday on the grounds of Landsdowne mid-dle school, Topaz Park, St. Michaels University School and Royal Athletic Park.

The 45-year-old has been playing ultimate Frisbee since 1990, and is a patriarch of the sport not just on his team, but in Victoria.

“It’s been a long, long journey for the Nomads,” Pettenuzzo said.

Ultimate tournaments allow a maximum of 28 players per roster, and the Nomads always fill the quota, he added.

“Some are newer to the team, but most of the guys go way back to the early days in the 1990s. And it’s more than a team. We’ve truly evolved into a lifelong brotherhood.”

Pettenuzzo joined the Nomads when he arrived here in 1993 and has since inherited a leading role with the team. He also founded the Victoria Ultimate Players Society, organizers of Victoria’s summer league, and current hosts for this Canadian Ultimate Championships.

The tournament is especially big for the Nomads, winners of multiple national and world titles in the open and masters (over-33) divi-sions. In 1997 the Nomads placed seventh at nationals here in Victoria. The majority of the team pulled double-duty as hosts for that event.

They’d like to win it here on their home turf, because if the Nomads have a home, it’s here.

“We’re also getting older,” Pettenuzzo said. “When a player retires due to their age, we say ‘they’ve gone to pasture.’ I’ve been thinking about it myself. A few guys have been talking about it.”

As a husband and a father to two boys, 12 and 8, it’s never easy for Pettenuzzo and the core of 20-odd teammates to get together for a tourna-ment. But it’s about much more than that, he says.

“From the time Dave Martin founded this team in 1990-91, it’s been a tribe mentality,” he said, “a special bond as brothers.”

The original idea was to have a group of players who jumped in a van and travelled to tournaments. It turned into a world-class team, which is renowned for its play and for its spirit, part of the positive vibe on which ultimate, a self-refer-eed sport, is meant to run on.

“We actually have get-togeth-ers that aren’t for ultimate at all,” Pettenuzzo explained.

Twice a year the Nomads regroup for a non-ultimate reunion, one of them a disc golf tourna-ment along the Lillooet River. The winner gets a green hoody, akin to the green blazer of golf’s The Masters.

The disc golf tourney will continue on, even if the team’s ultimate days don’t.

Naturally, it would be fitting to win one more national title, and on home soil, to boot.

“It would be nice. Certainly we’ve got some very talented players and we know what to do.”

The Nomads are the favourite but face a

tough division with Flood (Winnipeg), NSOM (Montreal), Pioneer (Calgary) and Victoria’s own Republic. Van-couver’s infamous Furious George are favourites to win the men’s open category.

More than 1,500 players on dozens of teams will compete in five divisions, the men’s open and women’s open,

mixed open, juniors (under-18), and men’s mas-ters (over-33).

Locals playing for the Nomads this week are Pettenuzzo, Chris Carmack and Jeff Shields. The rest live around B.C., parts of Alberta and there’s one from Toronto. The Nomads won the men’s open national title in 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2008, and in 2011 as a masters team. They won the 2012 world championship in Japan last month as Team Canada, a roster largely different than that which will take the field tomorrow.

Shamrocks back to Coquitlam tonight

The Victoria Shamrocks came up with a crucial overtime win over the Coquitlam Adanacs on Sunday to even the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal playoff series at two games each.

Corey Small scored his fourth and fifth goals of the game in overtime, and Mitch McLaren scored an empty netter as the Rocks won 11-8.

It’s the Shamrocks’ first win in Coquit-lam this season. Jeff Shattler ended the game with seven assists.

The two teams played Game 5 in Victoria on Tuesday. Results were past press time.

The Langley Thunder defeated the

Burnaby Lakers in the other semifi-nal and are awaiting the winner of the Shamrocks and Adanacs.

Game 6 goes in Coquitlam tonight and Game 7, if necessary, is at Bear Mountain Arena on Sunday (Aug. 19) at 7:45 p.m.

WLA names annual all-starsThe Western Lacrosse Association

named its annual all-star teams and the winners of its individual awards on Monday.

Shamrocks Corey Small and Jeff Shattler made the first and second all-star teams, respectively.

Victoria’s Cody Bremner, a Claremont secondary grad with the Nanaimo Timbermen, won rookie-of-the-year.

B.C. rugby teams in control at youth nationals

Castaway Wanderers player Jack Nyren helped B.C.’s top under-16 team win a national title 15-13 over Ontario. A second U16 team from B.C. won bronze.

The finals were played in Sher-brooke, Que., on Sunday.

“It’s a pretty great feeling to hold this trophy. This is my third national championship so this is pretty sweet,” Nyren said.

B.C. also won the U18 boys title. James Bay’s Crosby Stewart and CW’s Fergus Hall, with coach Jeff Williams of James Bay, defeated the Alberta 40-16 in that final.

Seeing tripleFitzgerald triplets traded to Grizzlies

Kyle WellsNews staff

They say good things come in threes and that's just what the Victoria Grizzlies are banking on with the Fitzgerald triplets.

Identical triplets Myles, Leo and Gerry Fitzgerald all came to the Grizz from the Prince George Spruce Kings in a multiplayer deal that sent David London, Cam Lawson and Coltyn Hansen to Prince George.

The move comes as the Griz-zlies rebuild under the guidance of new general manager and head coach Bill Bestwick.

“Skill, finesse, heart, talent, determination are foundations and criteria that we take very seriously,” Bestwick said.

“When we measure what these three players will bring us indi-vidually and collectively, they are three of the best ’93 birth-dated players in the entire Brit-ish Columbia Hockey League.”

There were some laughs at the press conference announc-ing the acquisition as Bestwick, who coached the triplets before with the Nanaimo Clippers in the 2010-11 season, misidentified one of the identical siblings.

Leo said that he and his broth-ers are excited to be joining what they see as the team to beat next season.

“(Our team has) lots of speed,

lots of skill, we've got some gritty guys, we've got almost the whole package.”

Inevitably, questions arose about the brothers abilities play-ing together on the ice. They brushed off references to the Sedin twins or if they had any sort of psychic connection to one another.

“I get tired of it, but I under-stand why they ask,” Leo said. “We’re triplets, it’s pretty rare to be playing in Junior A as triplets. I think we’re probably the first.”

Training camp for the Griz-zlies begins Aug. 20 at Bear Mountain Arena, with an exhi-bition game at home on Friday, Aug. 24, against the Cowichan Capitals.

The Victoria Devils ’96 lost 14-0 in the gold medal game to the Delta Heat in the girls under-16 Canadian fastpitch championships held in Brantford, Ont. on Sunday.

Constant rain delays made sched-uling difficult for the organizers, but the sun managed to appear for Sun-day’s final, a rematch of the Heat’s recent win over the Devils in the U16 provincial final.

The Devils had plenty of confi-dence going into the national final, having defeated the Heat in pool play on Saturday 7-3. But the Heat was too much, chasing pitcher Jasmine Strandlund in the second

inning, and scoring four runs in each of the first and second innings, and then six more in the third inning.

Ashley Penney pitched five and two thirds innings with three strike-outs to help the Devils ’96 beat the Mississauga Tigers (Ont.) 4-2 on Sunday morning and qualify for the final.

This week the Victoria Devils ’94 team opened the U18 Canadian Championships in Montreal with a pair of wins, 3-2 over the St. Albert Angels (Alta.) on Sunday and an 8-1 drubbing of the Regina Riot (Sask.) on Monday.

Comedy for Cancer raises $5,000 for Tour de Rock

Comedian and emcee Jason Lamb.Photo Sharon Tiffin

Performers Wes Borg and his daughter Anna.Photo Daniel Rochat

Comedy lovers and music enthusiasts fl ocked to Club 9one9 at the Strathcona Hotel on July 31 for a terrifi c night of entertainment, all for a good cause.

Comedy for Cancer, an event to support Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rider (and Black Press reporter) Kyle Slavin, raised $5,000 for the wor-thy cause. Tour de Rock raises money for pediatric cancer research and sup-

port programs like Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for kids with cancer.

All acts that night provided top-notch entertainment. Thanks to Jason Lamb, Mike Delamont, Kirsten Van Ritzen, Wes Borg, Natalie North, Mike Edel, Kytami, Auto Jansz and Andrea June for their amazing, crowd-pleas-ing performances.

Tour de Rock, now in its 15th year, is a two-week bike ride that sees

a select team of police offi cers and re-porters cycle more than 1,000 kilome-tres from Port Alice to Victoria. This year’s Tour runs Sept. 22 to Oct. 5.

With less than six week to go be-fore the start of Tour, Kyle has raised half of his $15,000 fundraising goal. If you’re interested in donating to Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, visitwww.is.gd/TourdeRock.
