Dave Thomson is a details guy who relishes getting stuff done.

As the school’s point man for the Oak Bay High replacement project, the principal has been involved in everything from arranging public consultations and speaking with neighbours to going over the plans to make sure they jibe with what has been asked for.

Some time before emceeing Friday’s sod-turning ceremony on Oak Bay High’s main playing field, officially

kicking off construction, he was busy softening up a spot for the shovels to go in the ground.

The upbeat administrator was even more excited after joining school district and government dignitaries in hoisting a shovelful of dirt for a photo-op.

“This is a once in a 75- to 100-year chance to get it done and do it the right way,” Thomson said of the $52-million project, which includes the new school, a community learning centre and a performing arts venue.

Closely involved with the project since it began life in 2002 as a potential seismic upgrade for the school – the oldest section was built in 1929 – Thomson is pleased with how the priorities established through the multitude of consultations have taken shape.

“I’m proud of the stick-to-it-ness of everyone involved,” he said, referring to the retention of design, functionality and community connection elements of the facility.

“I’ve gone through the plans with a fine-tooth comb and I can’t find any place where it stepped back from (those established priorities).”

And there’s more consultation to come. A public open house was scheduled for last night at the school (after the News went to press) to bring the community up to speed on the project, and Thomson expects further such gatherings to help fine tune things as the

project moves along.

Seaweed – it’s great for sushi, and perhaps even better for bio-fuels.

A study by a University of Vic-toria mechanical engineering stu-dent has shown that large-scale seaweed farms could make envi-ronmental sense in B.C. in terms of producing biofuels.

Aaron Philippsen, 27, pro-duced a study for his master’s thesis that shows B.C. has the coastline capacity to produce enough seaweed-based ethanol to replace what’s being imported into the province. And on the face of it, that ethanol production would produce fewer greenhouse gases than conventional ethanol derived from corn or wheat.

“With seaweed, you don’t need irrigation, you don’t need farmland. These are the main drawbacks to current biofuels,” Philippsen said. “We found sea-weed ethanol is twice as effective in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Philippsen’s work estimated B.C.’s near-shore coastline could yield 1.3 billion litres of ethanol, where B.C. consumes about 240 million litres of ethanol, typically blended with gasoline. Seaweed-based animal feedstock could also offset costs for large-scale seaweed ethanol production.

“It looks like there’s potential to reduce the amount of ethanol imported into B.C. through farm-ing on the coast,” he said. “Here it could make a significant differ-ence. Globally, it won’t replace gas.”

The study examined the “energy return” and carbon out-put for seaweed versus conven-tional biofuels in terms of equip-ment, harvesting, processing,

transportation fuel and electrical consumption. The biggest factor to why seaweed is less of a car-bon emitter than corn or wheat is the use of fertilizers on land.

“Growing seaweed doesn’t require fertilizer,” he said, although it does require large rafts in the ocean, which would need to coexist with fishing, boat-ing and other forms of aquacul-ture.

Slightly more ethanol can be squeezed from corn than sea-weed, and large-scale seaweed production needs a renewable energy process for drying, other-wise its unlikely to be cost effec-tive or have a large advantage in terms of carbon output.

“Seaweed is big and heavy and has a lot of water to deal with,” he said. “That means you have to use solar thermal (greenhouses) or geothermal heat to do the dry-ing. Part of the next step is to look at the cost of thermal drying in our climate.”

Seaweed viable for biofuels on coast, says UVic scientist Lower greenhouse gases from seaweed ethanol

Edward Hill/News staff

For his University of Victoria mechanical engineering master’s degree, Aaron Philippsen showed that seaweed could be a viable source of ethanol for B.C. compared to imported biofuels.

A small sign just inside the front door of Red Art Gallery asks visitors, “Are you from Calgary?”

In general, it’s a visual howdy to the many collectors and regular clients with connections to the Alberta city who walk through the door of the Oak Bay Avenue gallery.

But the simple phrase has taken on a special meaning recently, with the devastating floods that recently ravaged the central sections of Calgary and other Alberta towns.

Cowtown is near and dear to gallery owner and artist Marion Evamy, who spent most of her life there before moving to Greater Victoria seven years ago.

As such, watching reports showing many

of her hometown’s icons either destroyed or heavily water damaged – her father, a prominent architect, designed many of Calgary’s older buildings – has been an emotional experience.

“You feel helpless, seeing images of your old stomping grounds under water and thinking of friends that are still there,” she said.

“The house I grew up in is basically a teardown. And there’s a foot bridge I used to walk on, where the water is usually 15 feet below you. It was in matchsticks.”

The gallery’s current show, Calgary Connection, was devised back in March, said gallery director Bobb Hamilton. The notion of featuring Calgary artists’ works during the Calgary Stampede, was a way to celebrate Stampede week and pay homage to Evamy’s roots and those of many of Red’s clients.

“We experience a tremendous connection to Calgarians,” he said. “I’d say probably one in five people who come in either lived there or have a home there and here or some other connection.”

The floodwaters rose in the city June 21 and left many displaced.

Evamy herself was painting a piece for the Connections show to hang in the gallery, but decided to sell it off and donate the proceeds to the Red Cross’ flood relief efforts.

She posted a note about it on Facebook and within a matter of hours the painting was snapped up for $2,000 by a local couple.

Evamy’s mother and sister still live in Calgary, but luckily, neither of their homes were affected by the floods. Both women did take in friends who were evacuated, a common occurrence that week, Evamy said.

“(Calgarians have) definitely got a can-do attitude and people are always willing to help out.”

She said it’s ironic that the flooding happened just before Calgary stages one of the country’s oldest and largest annual community events.

“If there’s anything that gels people together it’s the Stampede. I thought there’s absolutely no way they’ll be able to host it (this year), but it’s come together on time.”

Calgary Connection runs July 4 to 13 at Red Gallery, 2033 Oak Bay Ave. Visit redartgallery.ca or call 250-881-0462 for more information.

Marion Evamy’s heart goes out to those in flood-stricken hometown

Danielle PopeNews staff

Oak Bay residents have fewer excuses to avoid the gym, now that Henderson Recreation Centre has unveiled its newly expanded Fitness Studio and program space.

Mayor Nils Jensen helped host the opening of the rejuvenated space on Wednesday, June 26, and even tried out a few of the new features at the centre himself.

“It’s a great day for fitness in Oak Bay,” said Jensen, “Both for kids who will have more room for their activities, and also for people who use the exercise room. It’s a bright, new green space that we will be very proud of.”

The improvements offer an array of changes, including an expanded fitness studio with more program space and a stretching area, an improved free space in the gymnasium, expansion and upgrades to the Muffin Nook and the Afterschool Care Program areas, updated washroom facilities and upgrades to the buildings heating and weather proofing systems.

Funding for the 830-square-foot expansion came from a recreation infrastructure grant of $373,718 from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. For more information or to schedule an orientation, call [email protected]

Stampede celebration takes on more serious note for artist

Artist Marion Evamy pays homage to her Calgary roots with this mirror that greets visitors to her Red Art Gallery on Oak Bay Avenue. During the Calgary Stampede, a bittersweet time for the flood-ravaged city, the gallery is displaying the work of three Calgary artists, including the two streetscapes reflected in the mirror.

The Oak Bay Barbar-ians have their sights set on a South Ameri-can rugby tour in 2014 and Merry Maids of Victoria is committed to helping them make it to their destination.

As an alumnus of Oak Bay High, Matt Tanner of Merry Maids of Victoria, brother of Barbarians assistant coach, Dylan Tanner, has teamed up with the Barbarians to help them raise money for the trip. Tanner plans to work with the team on a local beach clean-up event in exchange for a $2,000 donation to their tour fund.

While on tour, the Barbarians will com-pete in matches with local schools and clubs and have the opportu-nity to enjoy local cul-ture.

Tanner is also spon-soring a referral pro-gram for the team to earn additional dona-tions. For each new Merry Maids of Victo-ria customer the team refers, 10 per cent of cleaning fees will go to the team fund.

There’s a new sheriff in town for B.C. Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume.

The new sheriff, Koo-tenay East MLA Bill Ben-nett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines.

His saddlebags bulge with reports on B.C. Hydro’s seemingly run-away costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations.

NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest B.C. Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget.

First there was a $140-million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construc-tion north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties.

Then B.C. Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake pre-paredness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawl-ing utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake.

Horgan recited his list of B.C. Hydro sins after a decade of med-dling by the B.C. Liberals: huge

deferred debt revealed by the Auditor General, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one.

Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple

Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major B.C. Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revel-stoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expen-sive.

The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Met-als, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-gold-silver mine. Ben-nett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of depen-dence on diesel generators.

AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities.

The cost overrun traces back

mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before nat-ural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up.

Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put B.C. Hydro through the wringer in 2011.

Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt.

What’s ahead for rates? The util-ity is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy law-yer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs.

Among other things, B.C. Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion.

Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the gov-ernment’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as B.C. Hydro’s lone “shareholder.”

The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

Get ready for Hydro rate hikes

‘And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one.’

The season of fires and water safety

Victoria finally has its summer heat wave, with no signs of letting up, at least into next weekend.

For many Greater Victorians that means trips to regional watering holes such at Thetis and Elk lakes, popular beaches like Willows, plenty of barbecuing and catching some rays.

If history is any guide, Victoria summers can also be busy time for first responders.

At the temperature soars for any length of time, more people, often teens and young adults, put themselves at risk for drowning in boating mishaps, cliff jumping missteps and over-confident swimming skills.

Thetis Lake has been the scence for falling injuries and a drowning death every few years. The Sooke Potholes also sees a few broken bones from poorly aimed cliff jumps and the occasional drowning tragedy.

These deaths and injuries are preventable, and usually go hand in hand with intoxication, bravado and high temperatures. B.C. had four water-related deaths in the first five days of July, prompting a plea by the Corners Service of B.C. for people to contemplate water safety and to better understand the risks of jumping into unfamiliar rivers and lakes.

The Capital Region is a playground of parks, lakes and rivers for summer fun, and most have plenty of information available on hazards. But mostly, safety comes with caution and common sense.

The other hot weather disasters waiting to happen are the annual highway-side brush and forest fires.

The region’s commuter routes continue to be the region’s ashtray. Flicking cigarette butts into dry grass is a choice people make, and only by fast-acting fire response has the city avoided major property damage from grassfires.

More problematic are the city’s prized urban forests and large regional parks. Most of these areas have large fuel loads of deadfall, leaves and brush built up over decades or longer.

During these dry days, a careless cigarette or an illicit campfire could spark a major forest fire near residential neighbourhoods. Victoria’s lucky streak is bound to run out one of these summers.

The word is out. Since Oak Bay council hasn’t had the courage

to deal with the deer, these critters have let their friends know that Oak Bay is a safe harbour for all fugitive wildlife. No longer willing to confine itself to Beacon Hill Park, a peacock has moved into Oak Bay.

What will be next? How can we protect ourselves from these large,

ornery beasts that show absolutely no fear or respect when confronted by yours truly. Have you seen the claws on these guys?

Trembling in fear, I watched as he arrogantly sauntered up the driveway and over to my elderly neighbour’s property.

I shudder to think what could have become of them had they been confronted by this monster. It left a chill in my spine.

Brian YellinOak Bay

Wildlife is taking over Oak Bay

Oak Bay News reader Brian Yellin took this photo of a peacock strutting its stuff in front of his home on Monday, July 1. 

While discussing the deer issue at a June 24 council meeting, an Oak Bay councillor suggested that Oak Bay is constantly preserving single family neighbourhoods and open space and this is why developers have to encroach on regional deer habitat to build, and, therefore the deer are forced to move into areas like Oak Bay.

 It is obvious to most residents that the great majority of our increasing deer population, year to year, has little to do with developers moving into (rural) deer habitat and everything to do with the fact that the resident deer population in Oak Bay and adjacent areas such as Ten Mile Point are breeding. 

Female deer generally have one to three fawns every year and while the population may have been small enough many years ago to remain relatively unobtrusive while foraging in the well-treed/brush areas of Oak Bay and Ten Mile Point, this has become increasingly less possible in recent years. To make things worse, there has been an erosion of these more natural brush areas as more lots are developed and subdivided.  The combined result is all too obvious.

Continued delay in conducting a cull will clearly exacerbate an accelerating problem. Can we wait for bureaucrats to try to find ways to obtain approval for a sterilization drug (that may only be up to 90 per cent effective), field it, and then wait for several more years to see evidence of an overall population decrease due to a decreased birth rate, natural causes and continuing vehicle predation? The practical answer would seem to be no.

Finally, it seems to have escaped the attention of the Capital Regional District and others that there may well have to be two different types of cull. Federal regulations reportedly prevent the meat of a tranquilized animal from being used for human consumption and it is a given that the trapping and bolt gun technique is indeed barbaric if conducted in public spaces. 

Therefore, while some form of a harvest for consumption may be feasible in rural areas, those planning an urban cull should drop that thought.  Urban deer should simply be tranquilized and removed discretely.

Dennis McCarthyOak Bay

I feel a great disappointment and sadness over the news of a possible deer cull in Oak Bay.

How sad that we cannot find a more creative and humane way to deal with these beautiful creatures. Complaints of them eating roses and preventing the “green” folks of Oak Bay from speeding along routes like Cadboro Bay just seem so trivial.

I never have a problem with the deer though I have a beautiful garden (cheaply fenced) and I commute by bicycle. We also have a dog and they never show aggression towards him, rather both sides show a natural curiosity towards the other.

I would support relocating the deer since their population is steadily growing and it is tragic to see them being culled by cars as the mayor suggests. It would be a great step for us if we could begin to endorse the “green” philosophy we so eagerly voted in last election and try to all slow down and smell the roses.

If we opt to cull the deer it will weigh over our society like a black cloud; Oak Bay will be known for its roses and nothing more.

I hope residents will protest this decision.Marilyn Lapointe

Mayor Nils Jensen has sat through many discussions about the new school as a member of Oak Bay council. He agreed the project has been a team effort almost from the start.

“I would describe this as a grand collaboration which brings in the province, the municipality, the school district and the community, and that’s what I think will guarantee the success of the project,” he said.

Former Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong, who was instrumental in moving the project from a seismic upgrade to a full replacement, anticipates the new facility becoming a centrepiece for Oak Bay.

“I think it will be an inclusive, community place rather than just a high school,” she said.

Greater Victoria School District board chair Peg Orcherton added that the new Oak Bay High “will be a crown jewel of schools around the province.”

Local builder Farmer Construction is due to begin preparation work soon on the site.

[email protected]

Adjustments madedue to constructionGiven that the footprint for the new Oak Bay High will be on what are now rugby, soccer and ball fields, outdoor sports teams at the school will largely be practising and playing elsewhere for the next couple of seasons, said rugby coach and teacher Murray Allen. Oak Bay Parks has offered up Carnarvon and Windsor parks for use by the school in the interim, Allan said.Construction will force other changes to the school site, such as the creation of a safe pathway for students moving between the two existing buildings.The new building, designed to be LEED gold certified, will include recycled materials. Wood from a large Lebanon cedar tree due to be taken down as part of the construction – it is said to be diseased – will be used in the new school. As well, elements from the existing buildings, such as the colourful mosaics in the east building entrance ways and the solar panels on the roof, will be transferred into the new facility.

New school reflects collaborationContinued from Page A1

The CRD Sewage Plan Is a Failure

www.sewagefacts.ca

Hit Pause Now & Demand a Better Plan!

FACT: It’s not solving the problem; sewage will still go into the ocean.

FACT: It uses outdated technology on inappropriate sites.

FACT: It fails to fix leaky pipes, meaning we’ll pay millions more

than needed to treat clean rainwater.

FACT: It’s a band-aid fix that will need more of your taxdollars

within 12 years.

FACT: The full costs aren’t known, but could be more than

$1 billion. This is not affordable.

FACT: The CRD sewage plan has lost public support.

Three Oak Bay boys found a way to share their toys with kids around the world.

St. Patrick’s school students Benjamin Gyorkos, Stephan Brulot-Sawchyn and

Alex Morrow were inspired by a Free the Children presentation they heard at school and decided to do something to help. They made a plea to their friends, families and the school community for used toys and books and held a giant garage sale. The kids also donated some of their own toys to

the cause.Through their hard work, the boys managed

to raise more than $1,000 which they presented to Free the Children, an organization that works both domestically and internationally to empower and enable youth to be agents of change.

Restaurant wins $15K prize

Daniel Caicedo and Beatriz Carmona, owners of La Fogata Latina at 749 View St.,

were all smiles as they accepted the $15,000 prize in the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce’s Boost Your Business contest. The basket of goodies they received from Chamber board chair Darlene Hollstein was filled with certificates for professional services provided by Chamber members.

Building award nominationsProjects completed between June 1, 2012

and May 31 of this year are eligible for the Victoria Real Estate Board’s 22nd annual Commercial Building Awards. The board

announced the call for nominations for the 2013 competition, which culminates at the awards gala Nov. 22 at the Union Club. See cba.vreb.org. Entries must be received by 4:30 p.m., July 17.

Renter info goes mobile Vancouver-based Manaya, which

has created software to allow potential renters to view available suites on their smartphone, is teaming up with property managers in Greater Victoria. Renters get a text message whenever a suite matching their needs comes available. For more information, visit manaya.ca.

Vancity certifies living wageVancity Credit Union has extended its

certification as a living wage employer to Greater Victoria and the Fraser Valley.

The organization was recognized recently by the Community Social Planning Council, which calculated the

2013 living wage in the region to be $18.73 an hour.

“Paying a living wage – one that reflects the actual cost of living – is an important and achievable poverty reduction strategy for us and many employers,” said Vancity senior vice-president of operations, Ellen Pekeles.

Merchants team up for securityThemis Security’s recent purchase of

Capital Region Protection Services has helped Themis create more of a presence in the downtown core, said owner Mirko Filipovic.

Themis is developing a new model for working with a group of more than 50 downtown merchants, who have come together to address security and safety.

The joint model is more economical than individual businesses taking on the task themselves, Filipovic said. The response time to calls so far has averaged less than six minutes.

Designers open green studioTechnology reigns supreme at the

newly opened Studio 531 design space at 531 Herald St. Moore Architecture has teamed up with Monk Office Supply and DIRTT, the sustainable international design firm, to create a flexible-use, high-tech integrated workspace that is not only home to Moore’s team, but also has room for independent designers to rent. To find out more, email Tom Moore at [email protected].

Setting the Stage in record timeby Kyle Wells/NeWs staff [email protected]

a group of young actors is hoping the world remembers their names after they stage a production of the hit musi-cal Fame, starting thursday,

July 11.this is the ninth year for the Victoria

youth Musical theatre Company’s summer program, which offers professional qual-ity training to youth aged seven to 18. students come from around the world, and this year’s group includes a student from Pennsylvania and one from Dubai.

Over the course of two weeks, the group of youth put together the entire show, complete with memorizing lines, learn-ing the songs, the dancing, blocking and everything else that goes along with put-ting on a musical. the students routinely rehearse for seven to 10 hours a day.

“It’s wonderful to see how they develop over the two weeks,” said musical direc-tor Phil Hallman. “How some of the shyer kids come out of their shells and some of the more outgoing kids really hone their skills … besides learning new skills, one of the big things they learn is huge self-confidence.”

the musical, which is an adaptation of the 1980 movie, follows the lives of stu-dents at the New york High school of Performing arts.

With beloved, well-known music and an established broad audience, thanks to the movie and a tV show, Hallman said Fame was the perfect choice for the group.

“the students love it, they’re having a lot of fun doing it. besides the great music, I think they can relate to some of the themes. It’s all about high school students back in the early ‘80s trying to get through high school, dealing with life as a teenager.”

“It’s really fun, it’s really upbeat and the music is really great,” said cast member amy bechka, 15. “the cast is amazing and I think it’s going to be a great show. … We’re all really excited about it.”

for bechka, who is from saanich, this is her fifth show with the company. she said it’s the challenge of

the endeavour she enjoys the most.“It’s really intense but it’s really fun. I love musical

theatre and it’s just a really fun way to spend my sum-mer.”

“(It’s) a chance to see what kids can really do when they put their mind to it,” Hallman said. “the fact that we can pull this off in two weeks, when high schools usually take four to five months, professional theatres even take three months to do it. for them to pull this off in two weeks and have a quality show, it’s

really impressive. … “It’s pretty much eat, sleep, think theatre the entire

time.”fame runs July 11 to 13 at 7:30 p.m. and on July

13 and 14 at 2:30 p.m at the Ridge Playhouse at Claremont secondary school (4980 Wesley Rd.). tickets are $12 each and can be purchased at the door or by calling 250-361-6246.

Seeking Fame - The cast members of Victoria Youth Musical Theatre Company’s production of Fame the musical are hoping the world recognizes their names. Fame opens Thursday, July 11 at Claremont secondary school’s Ridge Playhouse, and runs until July 14.

You’ve invested a lot in your home, and you deserve the comfort of knowing that if anything ever

happens, your insurance will cover the cost of replacing your belongings.

You never know when you might need to make a claim. A home inventory makes the process easier if you do.

To make an inventory, list your possessions along with their date of purchase, purchase price and identifying information.

Choose the method that works best for you:

Paper: Ask your insurer for a personal inventory record or make your own list organized by room.

Spreadsheet: The Insurance Bureau of Canada website has free worksheets that include a list of common items to get you started.

Software: Some programs provide the option to include digital photographs and scanned receipts or warranties.

Photos and video: Take a tour of your house with your camera and capture the important details about your possessions.

Whichever method you use, it’s important to make a copy that you keep offsite or save online. Now all you have to do is keep your inventory up-to-date and the next time your policy comes up for renewal, talk to your insurance advisor to make sure you have the coverage you need.

Gordon Head teen racing at worldsTravis PatersonNews staff

Nick Smith didn’t know he could race at the world championships.

The 17-year-old Mount Douglas sec-ondary student applied and qualified in February to race at the Balaton Laser Worlds 2013 Championships in Balaton-füred, Hungary, which start next week.

Smith is competing in the laser stan-dard under-21 Men’s World and Euro-pean Championship category, July 14 to 21.

“Once I qualified it changed sailing for me. It’s made me much more devoted to the sport,” he said on Sunday, derig-ging his boat before flying out on Mon-day.

“In the boat I train three times a week, but once I qualified I added four to five (gym) workouts to boost myself for the world level, and it’s helped.”

Smith will be joined by Max Gallant, a teammate from the Royal Victoria Yacht Club junior sailing program in Oak Bay under coach Eric Vanderpol.

Together they make up two of the five Canadians headed to Hungary for the laser standard U21 world champi-onships.

“There’s only eight of us in total going from North America so I think it’s pretty cool we have two of the eight from Vic-toria,” Smith said.

Gym training has helped the Gordon Head resident grow far more comfort-able and hungry, if you will, when rac-ing the 4.2-metre-long boat.

“I’ve been a RVYC member since 2008 and moved to the laser radial (from the

420 starter dinghy) then to the standard when I was strong enough,” he said.

“To be only 17 at this world champi-onship is young, so my expectation is to make the top-60 of the top 150 boats in the world.”

Smith is heading into Grade 12 next year and has lots of time to improve.

His most promising result this season was at the Midwinter Regatta in Los Angeles where he came 23rd among a

field with the top laser standard sailors from western North America.

When he gets to Hungary, he’ll set up a chartered laser with the rigging, lines and sail from his boat at RVYC.

“They only provide a hull and it’s my first time chartering a boat. Any time you go to a competition you have to de-rig your boat for the trailer so it’s not that different.”

Hesjedal jersey fetches $1,775Travis PatersonNews staff

Ryder Hesjedal’s race-worn and autographed Tour de France jersey sold for $1,775 on Saturday through eBay.

The money goes to the Ryders Cycling Society of Canada, a foundation Hesjedal started to sup-port up-and-coming cyclists in Canada and to pro-mote the sport of cycling in North America.

Hesjedal wore the jersey for Stage 5 of the 2012 Tour de France. Bidding closed on Saturday, July 6.

“It’s a great way to celebrate the start of the Tour de France and raise funds to support cycling in Canada,” said Cody Graham, director of Victoria-based Media One Multimedia and the RCSC.

“Ryder is an inspiration to so many young cyclists and proceeds from this auction will help them in their athletic pursuits. It’s a pretty neat piece of sports memorabilia as well.”

To support RCSC visit ryderscyclingsociety.org or to registration for Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Vic-toria on Sept. 22 see tourdevictoria.com.

Injured Hesjedal out of the hunt but still helping in France

A broken rib suffered in a crash on Stage 1 of the 2013 Tour de France hasn’t stopped Ryder Hesjedal.

The Victoria cyclist and Garmin-Sharp team member held strong through the flat stages but slipped in the first two mountainous legs of the tour, Stages 8 and 9 on Saturday and Sunday.

Garmin-Sharp teammate Dan Martin won Stage 9 on Sunday but by that time Hesjedal was down 26 minutes from the lead. To his credit, Hesjedal was part of a five-man break which was caught ear-lier in the day that forced the peloton’s hill climb-ers to chase them down and ultimately helped Martin win.

However, mountains tend to be Hesjedal’s strength, and the 18 minutes Hesjedal dropped back of the lead on Sunday signals a limitation to his output, and an end to his attack on the general classification. His role will now involve helping or protecting Dan Martin and, for Canadian cycling fans, hopefully chasing a stage win.

“I have had some discomfort since the crash I was involved in during Stage 1,” Hesjedal said last week.

“A scan (July 3) confirmed a fracture so at least now we know what we’re dealing with. A lot of times with rib injuries fractures don’t show up right away, so waiting until today we were able to confirm what’s going on. There’s not much you can do about a fractured rib except for deal with the discomfort so that is what I’ve been doing and will keep doing.”

Volleyball star carries flag at world Universiade games in Russia

National team volleyball player Shanice Mar-celle, a former Spectrum Community school stu-dent, carried Canada’s flag at the opening ceremo-nies of the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia, on Saturday.

Marcelle and the volleyball team defeated Nor-way in three straight sets on Sunday and are set to play Brazil today (July 10).

Canada sent a record-setting 442 athletes to the Universiade, which are the world university games.

Marcelle, a 6-foot-tall outside hitter, was named the top CIS athlete in 2013 and represented Can-ada in the Pan American Cup in Peru last month.

The list is getting longer for junior B hockey players graduating to the next level for the 2013-14 season.

Shawn McBride of the Saanich Braves will suit up for the Victo-ria Grizzlies of the B.C. Hockey League. And with junior A camps running summer long there will likely be more players from the Braves, Westshore Wolves, Vic-toria Cougars and Peninsula Panthers to make the jump before the Septem-ber start to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.

The VIJHL has long been a feeder league for the BCHL. What’s new is the consistent number of VIJHL grads, par-ticularly from Greater Victoria, who are moving on to college.

Leading the way is Braves captain Ty Jones, MVP of the VIJHL in 2011-12. The Spectrum Community school grad has finally settled on a school and will play for the University of Oklahoma Sooners

in the American Collegiate Hockey Asso-ciation. Jones spearheaded the Braves’ best season in the modern junior B era as the team finished second in 2012-13 with 30 wins in 48 games and made it to the VIJHL semifinals.

The Sooners play in Div. 1 of the ACHA, an alternative organization to the NCAA, albeit a tier below, which

has grown leaps and bounds in terms of its on ice product and sta-tus, said Braves coach Brad Cook.“We have five guys moving

on to college which is pretty exciting, not just for the players and the team but for our league. It’s a huge step in the right direc-tion for us.”

Braves committed to play in the ACHA next year are defenceman Chad Roorda to the University of Cen-tral Oklahoma Bronchos, and forwards Justin Polischuk and Sam Johnston to the Adrian College Bulldogs in Michigan, which ranked No. 1 in the ACHA last year.

More Braves are expected to sign

including Garrett Kemmler, the top defenceman of the year, and forwards Josh Gray and Josh McGladery.

Perhaps the most coveted VIJHL player, Brody Coulter, opted not to explore his U.S.A. and Canadian col-lege options and will play for the UVic Vikes of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Coulter was the VIJHL MVP in 2012-13 and half of the Cougars’ dynamic duo. The other half was assistant cap-tain Sam Rice, who will join the Braves’

Roorda on the Central Oklahoma Bronchos.

“It has been the best four years of my life (with the Cougars) and I am sad that it is over,” Rice said. The Cougars are also expect-

ing to announce additional player advancements this summer, coach

Mark Van Helvoirt said.This summer Wade Murphy (185th,

Nashville Predators) and Nolan De Jong (197th, Minnesota Wild) were the first two Spectrum hockey academy players drafted to the NHL.

Self treatment of tired eyes

If your eyes get tired or inflamed occasionally, taking eye drops to make them feel better may ac-tually increase the risk of future problems.

Your eyes are very precious and delicate. They should never be treated without the advice of your eye care professional. Valuable time may be lost in detecting vision problems if you decide to treat tired or inflamed eyes yourself. It could be that the eye drops feel soothing or you believe washing out your eyes with a home remedy is all you need to relieve a minor eye problem. True, not all inflamed eyes are a sign of something serious, and perhaps the condition will soon alleviate itself. However, any persistent eye problem, even a minor one, should have professional care, as it could be a symptom of something more serious.

You should have your eyes examined regularly, even if you’ve never had a problem in seeing clear-ly. You should have them examined to ensure they remain healthy and function properly.

The Peninsula Co-op Highlanders won its ninth straight match 3-2 over the North Shore Girls Soc-cer Club Eagles in Vancouver on Sunday.

Despite the streak, the Highlanders (10-1-2) are still seven points back of the Vancouver White-caps reserve team (13-2) for first in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s premier women’s division.

The Highlanders went down 1-0 early on Sunday to the Eagles when Jackie Harrison evened the score in the 24th minute on a pass from Mariel Solsberg. Shannon Elder put the Highlanders up 2-1 in the 59th minute and Harrison scored her sec-ond of the game on a penalty shot a few minutes

later. A day earlier the Highlanders had trounced Coquitlam Metro Ford 7-0 at Tyndall Turf.

“With Liz Hansen out of the line-up, (Harrison) stepped up and did the business for us scoring two goals and being involved in the third,” said coach Dave Dew.

The Highlanders seek a 10th straight win Satur-day (July 13) against the Okanagan FC, 5 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park. On Sunday the Fraser Valley Action visit the Highlanders, 2 p.m. at Tyndall.

The PDL Highlanders men host the Portland Timbers 7:30 p.m. Saturday at RAP.

Newspapers alive and wellCanadians want their community newspapers

Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or online.

“”

Suzanne RaittNewspapers Canada

Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a news-paper in the last week in print or online. And each day, more than half of Canadians read.

If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, there are 21 per cent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print news-papers launched in last year. Canadians love print newspa-pers.

Many newspapers offer �lyers in print and electronic form. Eighty-�ive per cent of Canadians use �lyers – and by far (90 per cent) they tell us they use the print �lyer.

Canadians are embracing newspapers across all de-

vices. Research shows the average Canadian

touches newspaper media six times in a

day: twice each in print and online, once via tablet and once on a phone.

Canadians want newspa-pers. They also

want newspaper ads. They expect

newspapers to have ads. And they trust

ads in newspapers, both in print and online,

more than ads in other media. Why the misperception

about newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border.

In the U.S., a city might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspa-pers. More papers equals more competition, which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide lots of interesting options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multimedia opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did).

Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About one quarter of all ad dollars spend in media in Canada is spent in news-papers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV. This is also more than the amount spent on internet advertising. Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers.

A display of Pride Jen Rowell twirls a hula hoop as the Pride Parade makes its way up Broughton Street during the Victoria Pride Parade. The parade route for the more than 80 parade entrants was diverted up Broughton Street onto Douglas because of repairs to a gas line in front of the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The parade ended in MacDonald Park in James Bay for a festival that included entertainment, a kids camp, a beer garden and Pride House that hosted about a dozen support organizations. The festival marked the end of Pride Week in Victoria.
