Arts and culture groups on Vancouver Island will see continued support from vari-ous federal government programs with a welcome $1.67 million funding injection.

Thirty-four arts, culture and official lan-guage organizations will benefit from the funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage, including the Belfry Theatre, where the announcement was made Fri-day.

Other local organizations to benefit include the Dance Victoria Society, the Victoria Symphony Society, the Victoria International Chalk Art Society, the Victo-ria Foundation, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, La Societe des Francophones de Victoria, Theatre SKAM Association, the Victoria Film Festival and the Canadian Col-lege of Performing Arts.

The federal government has provided $1,673,338 through various programs of the Department of Canadian Heritage; includ-ing the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program ($68,500), the Canada Arts Presentation Fund ($285,000), the Canada Arts Training Fund ($600,000), the Endowment Incentives component of the Canada Cultural Investment Fund ($328,418), the Cooperation with the Com-munity Sector component of the Develop-ment of Official Language Communities Program ($268,220) and the Museums Assistance Program ($60,000).

Oak Bay’s Canadian College of Perform-ing Arts will receive a $600,000 injection over two years under the Canada Arts Training Fund, which represents an approx-imately 30 per cent increase in funding.

John Duncan, minister of state, chief gov-ernment whip and Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North was on hand to make the announcement on behalf of Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover.

Steve Suntok likes to spend his weekends in search of buried treasure.

Armed with a four-pound hammer and concrete chisel, the Langford father of three wanders the intertidal areas northwest of Sooke, his trained eye methodically scanning for curious colours, shapes and textures embedded in the wet rock.

“My kids wanted to find fossils, so we joined the local paleo society and I’ve been hunting ever since,” says the criminal defence lawyer, standing in the Royal B.C. Museum’s palaeontology lab beside daughters, Leah, 13, and Reese, 5.

Suntok is causing a stir amongst the museum’s experts for salvaging a 25-million-year-old bone, only the second of its kind ever discovered from the Carmanah Group rocks off Vancouver Island.

The 15-centimetre shinbone may not inspire awe in the layperson, but it’s the rarity of the find that has people like Gary Kaiser, Royal B.C. Museum research associate and fossil bird expert, singing Suntok’s praises.

“Right away, I can tell it’s a shinbone because they have this peculiar shape at the end,” Kaiser says, pointing out the tear-drop ankle of the now-extinct bird.

The robust bulb of bone at its base suggests it was a strong swimmer, most likely a cormorant, he says.

“The closest bird we have is the Brandt’s cormorant,” he says, holding up a comparable bone from the museum’s

vast archives. “We have three species of cormorants in B.C. today.”

Kaiser drags a wheeled cart from the corner of the lab with what looks like an egg-shaped slab of concrete covered in seashells, a sample of the rich paleontological fields that stretch from Sooke north to the Brooks peninsula.

“People actually dig these up in big blocks and chip away at it for the winter

months, hoping they’re going to find a shark’s tooth or something,” Kaiser says. It’s a practice that can destroy precious evidence of both provincial and global heritage, says Richard Hebda, curator of botany and earth history at RBCM.

Teachers, support staff await new contractsCharla HuberNews staff

This September will be business as usual for students in Greater Victoria.

The unions representing teachers and school support staff are back at work and will continue providing all services while they both await their turn at the bargain-ing table.

CUPE locals are meeting with the pro-vincial bargaining committee Sept. 4 to 6 and hope to secure a contract at that time.

Education minister Peter Fassbender said he is hopeful a settlement with cleri-cal staff, custodians, bus drivers and other support staff can be achieved with-out picket lines disrupting classes. The minister wouldn’t comment directly on talks, except to say school districts are working to set up “saving accounts” in their operations, as they will be required to fund wage increases within existing budgets for support staff.

“Hopefully something will come out of that,” said Gilles Larose, CUPE 382 presi-

dent. “We pay taxes just like everyone else. Everything is going up (in price) and our wages haven’t been reflecting that.”

If an agreement isn’t reached soon, Larose said it will most likely result in a provincewide strike with about 27,000 CUPE union members on the picket lines, including about 1,100 custodians, grounds and maintenance workers from CUPE 382 within the Greater Victoria School District.

“We have been without a contract since June of last year (2012),” Larose said.

The contract expired after a two-year wage freeze was imposed across the B.C. public service sector. CUPE is seeking raises of two per cent per year.

“Talks are resuming and the intent is to find a solution for all parties involved,” said Ministry of Education spokesperson Scott Sutherland. “We want to try and find a way to end this cycle of disruption.

“The savings have to be found within the existing budgets to support mod-est wage increases for staff,” Sutherland said, adding the bargaining committee is creating a template for the CUPEs to follow.

The government’s co-operative gains mandate required all raises to be funded

by internal savings such as shared administrative functions.

The teachers will need to wait longer until they get a seat at the table in Octo-ber.

“School will start as usual with no job action. We aren’t even contemplating job action, right now we are focussing our efforts at the bargaining table,” said Benula Larsen, Greater Victoria Teach-ers’ Association president. “We haven’t taken a strike vote or anything … What we want is a deal at the table.”

“Class size composition remedy is the No. 1 issue,” said Larsen, adding teach-ers are also hoping for improvements to salaries and preparation time allotments. “These were all taken away from us.”

“There is no plan there that the school districts are going to have to pick up any of those costs. Those cost drivers are the province, and we will be negotiating that. That’s why the teachers wanted to nego-tiate directly with us,” said Fassbender. He said any increase to teachers’ wages would not be found through cutting any school programs or services.

The Ministry of Eduction is hoping to secure a 10-year deal with the teachers across the province.

PEERS loses drop-in centre, social programDanielle PopeNews staff

Hundreds of Victoria sex workers are now going without resources, as PEERS Victoria Resource Society quietly closed the doors to its drop-in centre and shut down its most incre-mental program last month.

The Elements program, which since 1998 has given many Victoria sex workers their first chance, was disbanded indefinitely on Aug. 9, and the daytime drop-in centre was closed to all walk-in clientele Aug. 16.

The resource loss is due, in part, to a com-plex change in funding structure and some “tough decisions” PEERS staff was forced to make with an impending deficit.

PEERS will continue its daytime and night-time outreach services, but only 10 per cent of its current 515 clientele have been matched with service providers, leaving 90 per cent of those women with few or no resources. Three staff positions were also lost in the cuts.

“This is a really painful and tragic time for the whole community, and the only thing I can hope is that this is the contraction before the expansion, just like a heartbeat,” said PEERS executive director Marion Little. “Just as I trust my own heart, all we can do now is trust our greater community will rally around us to pro-tect us and help us find our beat again.”

Little says the decision has been looming since 2011, due to the implementation of the new provincial integrated case management system. In order for social assistance groups to receive reimbursement funds for services pro-vided, many more administrative steps were required, and much more personal information was demanded of clients.

While huge risk was assessed for clients that would now be required to issue a full name and social insurance number just to access services (and all service providers attached to the system would be able to access this data), the funding trouble grew from the administra-tive side.

“We used to offer bus tickets to clients to help access our services, but where it used to take one or two administrative moves to be reimbursed for that, now it took us 30 – for each ticket – and there are so many more com-plex services we offer that we were losing so much staff time to administrative roles, until we could basically no longer afford our own services,” said Little.

A spokesman from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation was unavailable for comment.

Esquimalt’s only government-run liquor store closed Saturday, but the property’s new landlord isn’t short of offers for use of the site.

The B.C. Liquor Store at the cor-ner of Admirals and Esquimalt roads is closing as part of a land transfer agreement between the Songhees Nation and provincial government inked in February.

In addition to the 0.14-hectare property in Esquimalt, the Songhees will also assume ownership of 0.1 hectares in James Bay and 0.04 hect-ares in Victoria.

Songhees Nation Chief Ron Sam said he can’t discuss specifics, but said he’s already receiving a lot of attention “from different groups and businesses.”

“I’m just getting some meetings

going now,” Sam said. “We’ve got to take a look at it all, present it to our community, and move forward on it.”

Sam said the First Nation isn’t con-sidering selling the land and hasn’t committed to tearing down the exist-ing building, but long-term lease options are on the table.

No one will lose their job as a result of the liquor store closure, as all staff and management will be reassigned to other Capital Region branches, said Vince Cournoyer, spokesman for the B.C. Liquor Distri-bution Branch.

The province has no plans to open another Esquimalt branch due to the absence of suitable retail space and other factors, Cournoyer added.

Esquimalt currently has three pri-vate liquor stores, while a fourth location at Tudor House Pub burned down in July.

Society seeking non-binding vote in next year’s municipal electionKyle SlavinNews staff

The Capital Region Municipal Amalgamation Society has offi-cially launched a petition seeking support from Greater Victoria resi-dents who want to see a non-bind-ing amalgamation question on the municipal ballot in 2014.

John Vickers, society spokes-person, also known as Amalgama-tion Yes, says they want to collect 100,000 signatures from residents who want a democratic voice.

“We’ve been having this discus-sion for too long. Even those peo-ple not necessarily for amalgama-tion, a lot feel it’s time the people had their own say in a non-binding way to get a sense (of where the region’s population stands on) how we’re governed,” he said.

“Our position is that regardless of the views of some of the mayors of the region, all we’re asking for is to allow the people of their munici-

pality to have the democratic right to, in a non-binding way, simply express their view on this issue.”

The petition asks that the follow-ing question be put on the ballot in each of the region’s 13 municipali-ties during next fall’s election: Are you in favour of reducing the num-ber of municipalities in the Capital Regional District through amalga-mation?

Vickers stresses the question isn’t about being in favour of amal-gamation, it’s about exploring the possibilities of amalgamation.

The City of Colwood in July already pledged it will gauge its res-

idents’ thoughts on amalgamation in the coming election.

“What does it mean to people in the community?” asked Mayor Carol Hamilton of what they hope to learn in the process. “What do they think it will achieve if that were to take place? Is there an inter-est even in doing it?”

This fall Colwood will launch its own group to look at public con-sultation options. Hamilton expects it will take six to eight months of open houses and surveying the community to get a sense of public opinion.

Vickers says Amalgamation Yes

aims to spend fall and winter engag-ing residents in the petitioning and public consultation process. That will include public meetings and forums, canvassing neighbour-hoods and setting up information booths at events.

He says the group hopes to acquire their 100,000 signatures by spring 2014, as they’ll still need to bring the petition to the 13 munici-palities before the election in hopes of getting the question on each bal-lot.

Amalgamation group launches petition


The back-to-school ritual is in full swing, as parents rush to shopping malls and office supply stores to start their kids off on the right foot.

But for hundreds of Greater Victoria families, the costs of pens and pencils, binders and paper – not to mention new cloth-ing – come at the expense of food on the table.

“We did some rough calcula-tions about how much it costs a parent to get their child ready for school simply with supplies, and it’s about $70 for elementary and about $100 for high school,” said Cheryl Dyck, volunteer co-ordi-nator at the Single Parent Family Resource Centre.

Dyck and her team partnered with Staples last week to stuff more than 250 backpacks with

back-to-school goodies for fam-ilies in need, and said she still had to refer parents to other non-profit organizations offering simi-lar programs.

“People are living pretty close to the bone in this expen-sive region, so anytime there’s an extra expense like school or Christmas or birthdays, we can help with that,” Dyck said. “But the need is really high.”

Another 500 children were helped out by the Mustard Seed’s fair start program, which has been running for 16 years and has seen a steady increase in usage, said Jackie Cox-Ziegler, director of administration.

“We stayed open into the eve-ning this year,” she said. “There were huge line-ups in the morn-ing when the doors opened, but it was a really good way to sup-port many of our working poor families.”

Cox-Zeigler said the Mustard Seed food bank is always in need of more donations.

The Salvation Army’s Stan Hagen Centre for Families has already provided nearly 200 chil-dren with school supplies this summer, and organizers are hop-ing for enough cash donations to help at least another 50 families in the coming weeks, said Sipili Molia, community relations co-ordinator.

“The public has responded big time already, but we could always use more,” Molia said.

Depending on the grade each child is entering, helpful dona-tions also include backpacks, pencil cases, lunch bags, lined paper, pens, glue sticks, pencil crayons, notebooks and binders.

For more information or to donate, call Stan Hagen Centre for Families at 250-386-8521.

2009 WINNER

OUR VIEW

Another school year dawns in B.C., with the prospect of disruptive labour disputes.

First up are 27,000 support staff, in a legal strike position. These are the teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers and crossing guards. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other locals scattered around the 60 school districts.

Public discussion about these disputes usually focuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago, after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government.

The B.C. government moved from the post-recession wage freeze to a system they call “co-operative gains,” where raises must be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers.

(Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher raises will be funded by extra transfers from the provincial treasury as they try to get a long-term deal. But that’s a topic for another day.)

CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a sophisticated media

campaign to generate public sympathy. We are repeatedly

reminded not only that the last raise was 2009, but that the “average” pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that’s accurate, it reflects a large number of part-timers.

Let’s look at a few provisions CUPE doesn’t talk about, on behalf of those self-employed taxpayers who have no paid holidays, no employer pension or benefits and no paid overtime, but are

expected to help pay all of the above to government workers.

The 60 contracts have many variations, but core elements are the same. In the Central Okanagan school district, the starting CUPE wage rate is $17.37 an hour. The top rate is $26.59, or $28.78 for workers who qualify for a “trades adjustment.”

All contracts have rigid seniority and “bumping” clauses to ensure that new employees absorb any reductions in working hours. From a taxpayer’s perspective, this leads to the maximum number of employees making the highest wages.

Overtime in Central Okanagan is time and a half for the first two hours, and double time after that. Contracts also include the provision that unscheduled overtime is subject to a four-hour minimum. It’s amazing how often an unexpected

hour of work can arise when it’s paid at quadruple time.

The Surrey school district contract details how even “spare board” employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a defined-benefit system most private-sector employees can only dream about.

Then there are paid sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12.

The Surrey contract details the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who retire as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come.

It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that.

There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction.

This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

Back-to-school labour woes

‘CUPE has a sophisticated media campaign to generate public sympathy.’

Another year, another dispute

With all the busyness of the summer months now over, September is a great time to fall back into a routine. And the provincial government and unions representing teachers and school support staff appear to have their annual routines down pat by now.

September, especially since their labour disputes seem to be never-ending in recent years, is when both sides of the bargaining table argue that the other party is unco-operative and doesn’t truly have students’ interests at heart.

This annual back-and-forth of finger-pointing just tells us neither side truly believes it’s all about the children. Accusatory bargaining in a public forum does nothing to help the situation we’re faced with, a situation where the kids truly should be the priority.

We agree with both sides when they say a deal needs to be reached soon. We agree when they both say that deal has to happen without disrupting students in the classroom. And we agree that education is essential to our kids’ futures, and is essential in growing our economy.

But we can’t be teaching our kids to play nice and do good when we aren’t walking the talk ourselves.

It’s the worst-kept secret that labour relations of any kind – essential service or not – are self-serving to some extent. The province and the teachers both need to quit pretending that they’re only fighting for the kids. They need to honestly acknowledge their differences and what they’re fighting for, and find a compromise that isn’t going to negatively impact the goings on in the classroom.

Back-to-school season should be a happy, positive experience for everyone. That hasn’t been the case for many years now, and we need to get resolutions soon for the teachers’ and support staff’s contracts. Otherwise, we’re going to have yet another negative school year that could be severely impacted by two massive labour disputes.

Let’s do this for the kids.

Speed limit plan lacks horse sense

James Bay is Victoria’s oldest and most densely populated neighborhood (12,000 people reside within this one-square-kilometre area).

It is home to many seniors who use scooters and walkers, many fit people who cycle to work/school and young families who stroll to parks and playgrounds as well as provincial politicians who grace us with their presence from time to time.

Unlike other neighborhoods, thousands of tourists transit through its

streets on large tour buses and taxis and alternative transportation modes such as horse-drawn carriages, pedicabs, motorbikes, and electric vehicles.

Before embarking on a pilot project to reduce the speed limit in this neighborhood, perhaps the City of Victoria should provide detailed traffic accident statistics for the area, on- and off-street parking capacity for the neighborhood, and introduce a variety of options to improve transportation safety for pedestrians and drivers by:

■ Reconfiguring predominantly two-way

traffic circulation to one-way perimeter circulation or on key arterials.

■ Reducing speed limit to 30 km/h for one of the most densely populated areas in North America, and, exploring measures such as additional street closures, traffic circles and raised crosswalks to calm traffic.

Putting the cart before the horse, like riding a one-trick pony, spells trouble.

A city council who endorses the use of horse-drawn carriages to preserve the “heritage” feel of James Bay, yet penalizes those who idle their “horsepower” under the hood to improve the

city’s air quality, would do well to use some “horse sense” and consult its citizens before betting on the wrong horse and losing their credibility prior to the civic election in 2014.

Re: Tourism should showcase the region editorial (Our View, Aug. 23)

Speaking together as a destination gives us a stronger voice. As the Greater Victoria Visitors and Convention Bureau, known as Tourism Victoria, we provide a voice for more than 700 business members, linking the entire region together when promoting our destination worldwide.

Greater Victoria is a unique destination and each municipality offers visitors an incomparable and diverse experience. Whether it is promoting wine tasting on the Saanich Peninsula, encouraging visitors to explore the west coast wilderness at our doorstep, investing in festivals and regional sporting events, or showing off our beautiful Inner Harbour, Tourism Victoria promotes the entire destination.

Our destination promotion includes a variety of tactics, including our

current Community Spotlights feature. The Community Spotlight brings each region to the forefront of our sales and marketing efforts, communicating to our consumers the breadth and depth of the region’s exceptional offerings.

With funding support from the Victoria Hotel Destination Marketing Association, Tourism Victoria invests in festivals and events that revitalize our destination. Most recently, the Victoria International Buskers Festival, Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon and Rugby Canada Championships saw Greater Victoria buzzing with activity.

Tourism Victoria’s mission is to inspire the world to experience our destination. Extending length of stay and increasing the economic impact of each visitor is critical to our success.

Our strategic plan, available on our website, outlines how we will achieve our mission.

Success hinges on collaborative

efforts, working across municipal borders and sectors. Our organization’s work is not defined by a municipality’s name; it is defined by the unique visitor experiences our destination offers.

We are grateful to all Greater Victoria municipalities for their support, be it through their membership in Tourism Victoria or their own efforts in supporting and promoting tourism within the region.

Tourism is an estimated $1.9 billion industry in Greater Victoria through direct, indirect and induced spending. We all have the same goal - ensuring the success of tourism as an economic driver throughout Greater Victoria.

By aligning our collective efforts, Greater Victoria municipalities and businesses are all contributing to a stronger voice for our destination.

Children’s Eyewear Care:A primer for parents

So your child is the proud owner of a pair of glasses! You should be aware that those glass-es, at any given time, could be knocked to the floor, stepped on, sat on, squished in the bottom of a backpack, or even used as a sling shot. To ensure your child understands how important it is to treat his or her eyewear responsibly, here are other ideas to prolong the life of a pair of glasses:

Make it an open and shut case. When the glasses aren’t in use, keep them safely tucked inside a hard case, marked with the child’s name and telephone number.

Be a clean freak. Lenses should be cleaned at least once a day with warm soapy water or an appropriate lens cleaner – never wipe your lenses when they are dry!

Jump in with both hands. Remind your child never to remove his or her glasses with only one hand – this is often the cause of many a misaligned and uncomfortable frame.

Get adjusted. Glasses that stay in good shape are glasses that are readjusted from time to time, particularly if pressure marks appear on your child’s nose or behind his or her ears.

And here’s a piece of good news: today’s eyeglasses are sturdier than ever, and meant to withstand general wear and tear.

Officials to meet with province on boat moorage


Permanently moored boats in the Selkirk waterway will be under council’s microscope this fall, as the provincial government and City of Victoria meet to tackle the issue.

In September, Mayor Dean Fortin and city staff will meet with Steve Thomson, the pro-vincial minister responsible for the sea bed north of Sel-kirk trestle.

A meeting has yet to be con-firmed with federal government officials, who are responsible for navigable water regulations and marine habitat in the Gorge.

“You don’t want to end up with a situation where munici-

palities start to take on costs that are frankly the responsibil-ity of senior levels of govern-ment,” Fortin said.

About a dozen boaters are cur-rently anchored off the shores of Banfield Park, taking advan-tage of a jurisdictional quagmire between the three levels of gov-ernment.

The city is weary about tak-ing on regulation and clean-up

costs for abandoned boats, but council is nonetheless direct-ing staff to clarify what, if anything, can be done.

“It’s really impor-tant for the city get to the table as an equal player as part of the conversation but the city can’t

take this issue on by itself,” said Coun. Lisa Helps.

Members of the Vic West Com-munity Association have been waiting a long time for officials to take action, said president Diane Carr.

“This is not a homeless issue,”

she said. “Some people are try-ing to make it that and it’s not.”

Carr said the Selkirk waterway should be subject to the same regulations as a public park and that overnight moorage should be banned like overnight camp-ing.

“The area is the commons, it’s like Beacon Hill Park, and it should be treated as such,” she said. “If the province isn’t going to enforce anything, somebody has to do something about this. A couple of stiff fines from the city and nobody will go in there anymore.”

Fortin said he looks forward to a productive meeting with Thomson, but ruled out the pos-sibility of an outright ban on moorage.

“You can’t prohibit (boats from mooring),” he said. “All you can do is regulate them.”

Staff will report back to coun-cil on the provincial and federal consultations before any action is taken, said Rob Woodland, director of legislative and regu-latory services.

Authority may land harbour airportGVHA to begin exploratory talks with Transport CanadaDaniel PalmerNews staff

The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is enter-ing into exploratory talks with Transport Canada to take control of the Inner Harbour airport.

Transport Canada announced in July it was con-sidering divesting authority of the Victoria Har-bour Water Airport, one of only 18 airports and the only water aerodrome in Canada still under direct federal ownership.

On Aug. 16, GVHA’s board of directors gave its management team approval to explore taking over operation of the harbour from the Victoria har-bour master.

“We’re going into these discussions cautiously, with our eyes wide open,” said Curtis Grad, GVHA’s president and CEO. “Management of the water air-port is a complex task, with significant responsibil-ities and material operating costs attached to it.”

GVHA’s bylaws and constitution were written anticipating eventual control of the water airport, Grad said.

“It’s not a question of if the water airport will be divested by Transport Canada, but when, so broad-based regional support and strong leader-ship will be key to ensuring the best deal for Victo-ria’s harbour,” he said.

Continued from Page A1“This is just a little flash of life

25 million years ago,” Hebda says. “Fossils are fun, but they’re also fundamental. … Without them, it’s very difficult to understand (earth’s) story, even our own evolution.”

The plethora of shellfish and other marine fossils from the area helped Kaiser and his colleagues date the cormorant bone, while further precision can be found through radioisotope

dating.In addition to the cormorant

fossil, Suntok is donating another half-dozen specimens to the museum’s collection, a welcome act of generosity and respect for the discipline of palaeontology, Hebda says.

Gabriel Armitage-Point, 6, carries a brand new football and volleyball, which were given to the Victoria Native Friendship Centre last week. The VNFC was awarded $10,000 worth of new sports equipment, courtesy of Canada Dry Mott’s through the Let’s Play grant program.

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Purchasing a brand new foot-ball, volleyball or kayak comes at a price. And for a non-profit organiza-tion like the Victoria Native Friend-ship Centre, the price to buy new sports and recreation equipment isn’t within their annual budget.

“On average we spend $300 to $400 (annually) on upgrading some of our sports stuff that we need to replace – pool cues and mainte-nance things, but not to buy new equipment,” said Jeanette Mer-cer, youth services team leader at VNFC. “What we own is basketballs and a couple footballs, and that’s it. … They’re used so much that they wear out really fast.”

Recently, VNFC was gifted $10,000 worth of new equipment courtesy of a Canada Dry Mott’s Let’s Play grant.

“It’s an amazing gift we’ve received from them,” Mercer said. “It provides tremendous opportu-nities to our community. A lot of aboriginal people in Victoria navi-gate many issues and have really limited access to sports, mostly due to poverty.”

Mercer expects some 350 peo-ple use any number of the services provided at the VNFC, and says most, if not all of them, will benefit from this donation.

Last Wednesday, some of the children who use the VNFC had the opportunity to dig through piles of brand new footballs, soccer balls, basketballs and volleyball and play with them for the first time. A num-ber of kayaks and gymnastics mats were also donated.

“We really believe in calories in and calories out, and really man-aging an active lifestyle. So what we want to do is be able to pro-

vide as many kids across Canada with access to more play,” said Sara Rezaee, spokesperson for Canada Dry Mott’s.

The Native Friendship Centre is one of three charities across Can-ada to benefit from a $10,000 injec-tion of sports equipment.

Mercer says it’s tough in the current economic climate to find money and grants specifically for promoting an active lifestyle, so this Let’s Play grant is quite the windfall.

“There’s no way we could get $10,000 (worth of equipment) with-out this grant,” she said. “This is just going to increase physical activity in our community, and accessibility to children and youth and their families. We already do a lot with kids and youth, but this is just going to increase what we can offer them.”

Monthly tours of the Ross Bay Villa resume Saturday (Sept. 7), fol-lowing the hugely suc-cessful “grand open-ing” in August.

The opening event – with ribbon cutting by the lieutenant-gov-ernor – culminated 13 years of meticulous restoration of the 1865 house. Tours of the house now include the exquisite entry-hall, with wood-graining, faux-wood panelling, and hand-made floor-covering. The dining-

room and parlour are beautifully re-created with 1860s furnish-ings, carpets, wall-papers and pictures. Other areas have been treated with similar care. And the Villa

flower garden and kitchen garden are in full bloom.

A one-hour guided tour is offered on the first Saturday of every month, starting at 2 p.m. Suggested dona-

tion: $8.Special group tours

can be arranged at any time by contact-ing Nick Russell, of the Ross Bay Villa Society, [email protected]

Comedy duo explores their bodiesmon

get ready for a journey into the ear of one of the funniest people to ever live in Victoria when sketch comedy duo Peter n’ Chris mount a special Fringe extension performance of their

award winning comedy Peter n’ Chris Explore Their Bodies.

The show will take you deep into Chris’ digestive tract, where the Hungry Games unfold.

“It’s more of a fantasy genre,” says Chris Wilson, born and raised in Victoria. “My head is being taken over by hypochondria, which is personified by evil little men. They take over my body and we go inside via a magic housecoat to fight it.”

“Whenever I explain it, it sounds really dumb — and it is dumb. It’s Lord of the Rings meets Narnia meets Gladiator.”

The latest in the pair’s string of critically acclaimed comedies, Explore their Bodies took home a Just for Laughs Best Comedy Award at the Montreal Fringe, a Best of Fest award in Winnipeg, a Pick of the Fringe award at last year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival and was an official selection of the Chicago SketchFest and a featured act at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2012.

It’s making its Victoria debut at the Metro Studio (1411 Quadra) Sept. 4-5.

Last time the duo performed a show in Victoria was at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre Spotlight on Alumni with Peter n’ Chris: The Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel, a show which was recently nominated for a Canadian Comedy

Award. Peter n’ Chris were also nominated for Best Sketch Troupe at the CCA’s.

Wilson moved to Toronto in January while Peter Carlone lives in Vancouver. The pair have been

collaborating and rehearsing via Skype ever since.“It’s something we did when we both lived in

Vancouver. Peter lived on the East Side and I was in Kits, so it’s somewhat the same,” says Wilson. “We like to write on the road anyway. Even though it’s a busy time, there’s always some time during the day to write.”

The pair cruises the Fringe circuit over the summer (they didn’t get into the Victoria or Vancouver Fringes this year), spending time with what Wilson calls the “travelling hobo gypsy theatre family,” and usually have a new show written by the end of the season.

They currently have about 50 per cent of a new show written, loosely based on Back to the Future, with a working title of Backwards to the Forward Times. “Something like that, or as close to Back to the Future as we can get without getting in trouble,” Wilson says.

The pair met while studying theatre at UVic in 2005. In 2008, Wilson applied for the Victoria Fringe and got in. They wrote and performed their first full-length show The Peter n’ Chris Show with Peter n’ Chris in 2009. They’ve written “four and a half” shows since, with a serious re-write of the first show included. “It was basically what we do now, but it wasn’t any good,” says Wilson. “It was good enough that we were able to try again.”

Wilson attributes the pair’s common education for making it so easy to work together. “We both came through the same program, so it was easy to get started. We speak the same language, have the same education and took the same movement classes. I think we both find each other quite funny and trust that if one of us is

laughing, the audience might be too.”The Sept. 4-5 performances of Peter n’ Chris Explore

their Bodies are $15 at ticketrocket.org.

Bellies - The cover of the Beautiful Brewers of B.C. Calendar to benefit the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Photo by Stacey Aumonier.

Brewers and brewery employees from across the province are getting ready to bare their beer bellies for a cause.

The project, Beautiful Brewers of B.C. calendar, features the naked bodies of brewers from 12 B.C. breweries, baring it all to raise money and awareness for the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Spearheaded by local brewpub Moon Under Water and photographer Stacey Aumonier, the calendar features employees from Hoyne Brewing Co., Spinnakers Brewpub, Moon Under Water and Vancouver Island brewery as well as Parallel 49, Deep Cove, R+B, Coal Harbour and Storm from Vancouver, Surrey’s Central City, Howe Sound from Squamish and Tofino Brewing.

“I used to model,” says Chelsea Walker, co-owner of Moon Under Water and organizer of the project. “So that was part of the inspiration. I was looking for a project for all the brewers to work together on and I thought no one’s ever seen anything quite like this before. It’s going to help the brewers because it shows that we care about our community and it’s really going to push us all to the next level as figure heads in the community. Back in history, cities were based

around the breweries and we’re not quite there yet. But we will be, and we want to give back to the people who take care of us.”

Walker put the word out and within 24 hours she had 12 breweries on board.

“People either said yes on the spot or vehemently no,” she says.

Walker’s grandfather is currently fighting prostate cancer and thought that since cancer is a disease that has touched so many people, it was the perfect fit for the project.

“It’s a charity that hits close to home,” she says. “It’s also one of the top rated charities in B.C.”

And while most would assume the calendar will only feature burly male brewers, Walker says there will be two women, both from Victoria, included in the calendar; Walker herself and Kala Hadfield from Spinnakers.

The first printing of the calendar will make it’s debut at the Great Canadian Beer Festival Sept. 6 and 7 at Royal Athletic Park. They are $20 and all proceeds go to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Subsequent printings will be available at the retail outlets of each brewery and at local liquor stores.

Travis PatersonNews staff

Evan Horvath was great with the kids during ball hockey camp at Braefoot Park last week but the question remains as to how he’ll fare on the ice for the Saanich Braves this season.

The Braves kick off the Van-couver Island Junior Hockey League season at home on Fri-day (Sept. 6) against Westshore Wolves at Pearkes.

Coach Brad Cook has already committed to 16-year-old Horvath of Whistler, a solid endorsement since the roster is still not set. Junior B teams tend to keep a number of spots open for returning players who are late cuts from major junior and junior A teams.

“Shawn McBride is a full timer with the Victoria Grizzlies this year and Seamus McGuire has gone to Flin Flon to try and land a Jr. A spot, so we wish those guys all the best,” Cook said.

Returning to lead the Braves are Nick Guerra and VIJHL defenceman of the year Garrett

Kemmler. Horvath, who relo-cated here for the Spectrum hockey academy, leads the rookie contingent.

The Victoria Cougars host two

games this week, the Comox Valley Glacier Kings at 7 p.m. Thursday and the Wolves at 3:15 p.m. Sunday at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

Robert Bettauer has qualified for the 2014 World Senior Team Championships to be played next April in Florida.

The CEO of the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence, who comes from a strong tennis back-ground, won the recent Canadian Ten-nis Championships for 55- to 59-year-old singles at the Steve Stevens Senior Nationals played in Vancouver.

Bettauer defeated fellow Victoria player Art Hobbs in the men’s 55 final, 7-5, 6-2.

Three of the four semifinalists were from Greater Victoria, as Hobbs defeated Oak Bay’s Ed Bakker to get to the final.

Together, Bakker

and Hobbs reached the men’s 55 doubles final.

Victoria’s Hannes Blum had a strong performance, finish-ing third in the 45 singles division, and second in the 45 men’s doubles with Shawn Lusignan. Karen Clarke also made the ladies 50 doubles final.

Prospects land Royals signings

The Victoria Royals signed three forwards last week, Landon Welykholowa, Matt Dykstra and Jared Dmytriw.

All three have com-mitted to the Royals and will compete for a spot either this or next season.

Welykholowa, from Calgary, was origi-nally drafted by the Prince Albert Raid-ers in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, and landed the contract as an invite. Dykstra, a resident of Edmon-ton, is a fourth round pick of the Royals in the 2012 WHL Ban-tam Draft. Dmytriw was drafted by the Royals in the fourth round of the 2013 WHL draft. Dmytriw is set to play midget for the Moose Jaw Gen-erals this year.

WLA champion Shamrocks host Mann CupTravis Paterson News staff

The Victoria Shamrocks host the Mann Cup at Bear Mountain Arena this week for the first time since winning it in there in 2005.

The Rocks won the Western Lacrosse Association champion-ship with an 8-3 win over the Langley Thunder at The Bear on Thursday (Aug. 29).

“That I’m relieved is (an understatement),” said head coach Bob Heyes of winning the WLA championship. “Watching the clock run down (Thursday), there was a big sigh of relief that we’re part-way through (reach-ing our goal). We’re there, and there (was) a little bit of celebra-tion, but this isn’t the big thing.”

The ‘big thing,’ the Mann Cup, starts with Game 1 on Fri-day (Sept. 6) at Bear Mountain. Game 2 is Saturday.

Heyes was the Shamrocks’ backup goalie during its 1997 and 1998 Mann Cup champion-ships. And now in his second season at the helm since taking over from Shamrocks legend Walt Christianson in November 2011, Heyes can also become part of the club’s legendary sta-tus.

The Rocks will face the Six Nations Chiefs, winners of Ontar-io’s Major Series Lacrosse.

This year will produce the first Mann Cup champion other than the Peterborough Lakers and Brampton Excelsiors since the Shamrocks did it eight years ago. The Shamrocks’ last visit to the Mann Cup was in Peterbor-ough in 2006.

“(Friday morning) I was already trying to get some online footage from the MSL final as I

hadn’t seen any of (that series) yet,” Heyes said.

Unlike the golden days of the Mann Cup, there’s little mystery about who the Shamrocks are playing.

Rhys Duch was with the Chiefs last year and led all scorers with four goals in the final game of the 2012 MSL playoffs, in which the Lakers beat the Chiefs.

Matt Vinc was in goal for the Chiefs the previous season.

“In the past all we had was some (rough video) footage, if any, and some newspaper clip-pings, but nowadays our guys know them and they know us,” Heyes said.

When the Chiefs scout the Shamrocks they’ll see a stingy defence that held the top offence in the WLA to an average of four goals per game at Bear Moun-tain during the WLA final.

“It’s cliché but the defence and goaltending were key for us,” Heyes said. “The big signings we had were all offensive guys: Cory Conway, Scott Ranger and (the return of) Duch, and that’s a big part of our team. But we brought (defensive) guys who are athletic and can play differ-ent systems, ensuring that was a key part of our game.”

The spread of contributions speaks for itself, with the eight goals in Game 6 coming from seven different players.

Only captain Scott Ranger

scored twice. Up front, Duch, Jeff Shattler and Mitch Jones scored, and so did Matt Yager, Greg Harnett and Tyler Burton. It’s the fruit of the transition game Heyes has wanted.

“Tyler Hass, Dan McRae and Karsen Leung – those three (tran-sition) guys drive the engine that activates the offence. They were key to the strength of how we improved (from Game 1 to 6).”

With Corey Small most likely out of the playoffs due to injury, goals from the defence and tran-sition players has been key. So has the play of Jeff Shattler.

“You never know where we’re going to get goals from,” Heyes said.

McRae is the golden example, as the third-year Shamrock from Oakville, Ont. has five goals this post season.

“There’s always been glimpses of what (McRae) can do, but fit-ting him into the right situation, on the defence that we run now, it suits a lot of our players.”

All this goes without saying that the lynchpin for the Sham-rocks agains the Thunder was Vinc in net.

Vinc outplayed Brodie Mac-Donald, the WLA goalie of the year. With Nick Rose, the Thun-der boasted the top goaltending duo in Canada.

Vinc stopped 34 of 37 shots on Thursday, controlling and gob-bling up the rebounds.

When the Thunder called a pad measurement on Vinc in the first period, it backfired, Heyes said.

“We had the gong show in Burnaby (when forward Derek Lowe had to finish the game in goal) so we had addressed it already,” Heyes said.

“It inspired Vinc to be even better.”
