Royal Bay evolving into one sparkling community facility

We line up at the gate of the construction site like we’re at Swartz Bay and the ferry is late. A pleasant smiling

lady in a hard hat and safety vest approaches and I roll my window down.

“Hi there,” she says.“Hello,” I reply. “I’m

Mike from the Gazette.”“Oh, hi! I’m Windy

Beadall, the principal of Royal Bay,” she says excitedly, extending a hand. I reach across and take it. “We’re just waiting for a few more minutes and we’ll all head in

together.” She smiles.It’s my first official tour of the soon-

to-be-completed – though you wouldn’t necessarily guess that to look at it – Royal Bay secondary, due to open this fall.

Once the line-up of cars begins to move, we all find parking spots in what may or may not end up being a parking lot – I was never really clear on where those aspects of the project would be located, but it was next to one of the sports fields on the north side of the building.

We file out of our cars – those few of us who didn’t bring our own are given our own hard hats and safety vests – and gather in front of the door. I count municipal politicians from at least three councils in the region, five or more Sooke School District trustees, a couple of SD62

administrators, a few members of the media, one leader of the provincial New Democratic Party – otherwise known as Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan – and one City of Colwood communications person. Maybe 25 of us funnel in behind Beadall as she starts the tour, asking us to please stay together.

The smell of sawdust and paint hang thick in the air, but it doesn’t take away from the immenseness and grandiosity

that will be the finished product.Beadall takes the group up the central

staircase and out onto the roof where basketball courts are being poured, then back inside to see both gymnasiums, the culinary arts kitchen, the administrative spaces and everything else that will make Royal Bay what it will become.

Like the performing arts wing.Two large rooms with garage doors that

will open out to the sports fields will soon

be home to the school’s choral and music programs. “Hopefully we can open those doors and be serenaded out in the fields,” Beadall says, smiling, before she leads us into the theatre, which will rival most I’ve ever seen.

With extensive seating, an actual orchestra pit in front of the stage and a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system being installed, it’s fair to say that Royal Bay is likely to become one of the go-to locales for live performance on the West Shore in the near future.

Another highlight of the tour is the explanation of the colour-coding aspect of the building, which sees each area – academic, trades, arts and athletics – painted a different colour, mirroring the colours of an Emily Carr piece that was donated

to the school.“We had to change the blue a bit and

make it bit more purple-y,” Beadall says, laughing, “to match our team colours.”

Sandra Russell, communications manager for the City of Colwood, later pointed out that Royal Bay is not merely a school, but a community-centric facility.

Is there enough money flowing to public education?

It’s fairly clear the overwhelming majority of people within the system think not.

It’s one of the pillars of the stance peo-ple take when they talk about improving educational outcomes for our children. Ian Johnson, president of the Sooke Teachers’ Association, is one of them.

“When you look at the data that’s col-lected, I think we’re doing as well as any-body,” he says. “It’s generally agreed by everybody, I think, that under the condi-tions we are forced to teach in right now, we do a very good job. Could it be better? Absolutely. We could do better than what we’re doing right now, but that’s influenced by factors that are outside our control.”

The most important of those, he adds, is the fund-ing of public education prov-incewide.

Government estimates show that the province sub-sidized public education to the tune of $8,654 per pupil in 2013-14. That’s well below Alberta’s figure of $10,111 or the $11,266 Ontario pro-vides.

Those discrepancies, Johnson says, illustrate the shortage of resources B.C. teachers have to deal with increasing demands, such as a higher number of students with special needs – those requiring personalized learn-ing plans and additional supports – inte-grated within every classroom.

The long and short of it is the lack of fund-ing is taking its toll on teachers, he says.

“It’s gotten to the point where I don’t know that we can actually cope much lon-ger with what we’re dealing with. It is, on many levels, a very grim circumstance. I deal with teachers all the time who are at their emotional wits end. They’re done. They can’t cope. The stress is extraordi-nary. It would be like giving a surgeon an operating room and telling him he doesn’t have a scalpel. He’s going to say, ‘Wait a minute, you haven’t given me the tools to

do the job,’ and you’re going to say, ‘just go in there and do the best you can.’”

He says that’s why parents are seeing an increase in substitute instructors teaching their children more regularly. When teach-ers come to him saying they’re exhausted and are having difficulty coping, there’s one prevailing message he has for them.

“You can’t teach if you can’t take care of yourself,” he tells them. “Save yourself first, and then go back in there, and we’ll attempt to come to grips with whatever the circum-stances are. I think that’s true for anybody, in any job, quite frankly.”

It’s not that Johnson blames the school district for the situation. SD62 only has con-trol over where the “not enough” is allo-cated, he says.

District superintendent Jim Cambridge agrees with that assessment.

“It’s a matter of balancing and rebalanc-ing the priority that we place on things,” he says, adding that if the district puts the priority too heavily in one area one year, something else suffers.

“It’s not like there’s extra money. We’re spending every dollar we get. So if we’re not spending it in the right way, we can talk about that and I’ll take responsibility. But I can’t make any more money so I can’t add an education assistant without taking that amount from somewhere else, for example.”

Just this month, the district is putting forward the budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Despite massive cuts being felt in dis-

tricts all over the province, SD62 has found $260,000 to put back into the system. It won’t make up for the $4.1 million in cuts made over the previous two years, but at least it’s going back into the pie rather than just sitting in the bank.

“There’s just not enough there,” Johnson sighs, resigned to this fact. One can hear the dejected and disheartened tone in his voice. “It’s heartbreaking, and it’s taking its toll. It’s bad enough when you don’t feel appreciated by your employer.”

He clarifies that he isn’t pointing a finger at the district – he means the Ministry of Education, “(When you’re) not given the resources to do your job effectively, over time, it’s just …” he trails off.

Wendy Hobbs, chair of the SD62 board of trustees, is also resigned to the fact they won’t have any more money to shift around anytime in the foreseeable future.

“Making the pie bigger has been advo-cated for years. It’s not going to work,” she admits. She adds that if they at least knew what size the pie was going to be, it would be helpful.

“(The province needs to) quit making us do year-to-year budgets,” she says. “We have been fighting for that for years. If we knew what we were going to get for the next three years, we could work with all of the groups to say, ‘here’s what we’ve got, let’s work towards something.’ But this year-to-year budgeting and the unforeseen cuts doesn’t help us with our day-to-day work-ing of the district.

“If you take out a mortgage on your house, you know what you’re paying from year to year for the length of the term. If we knew that …”

Her words hang in the air as though the answer is obvious, which it is when con-sidering that prioritizing and re-prioritizing is what they do. Doing that over multiple years would make the process a whole lot smoother, she says, and stakeholders would be much more accepting of budgets if they could see when the pendulum was going to swing in their direction.

Not everyone sees the lack of resources as the main issue, however.

“To me it’s not about money,” says Ray

Miller, principal of Belmont secondary.“It’s about intelligently designing systems

so that they integrate together and are effective and efficient. You can complain all you want about the money, it doesn’t mean you’re going to get any more. So you might as well do the best you can with what you have. I think we should always, as an orga-nization, look for ways of improving student learning. That is our one and only guiding principle.

“We can’t get caught up in traditions and patterns of the past. Especially today. Espe-cially in this century.”

Find out how he and other stakeholders feel the district can do that in the final part of this series, coming in Friday’s Gazette.

“Apart from the amazing architecture that takes full advantage

of the breathtaking waterfront location, the school is uniquely designed to promote interaction with the community,” she said.

“Most schools are rarely visited by anyone other than staff, students and occasionally their families, and sit unused

outside of school hours. At Royal Bay, the Neighbourhood Learning Centre will invite people of all ages into the school for

West Shore Parks and Recreation programs and a daycare space. The track and sports fields will have an outdoor club house for community sports, the theatre will host performances and presentations, the large gym is glass-walled to invite people into sporting

events, and the trades and commercial cooking programs will connect students with community apprenticeships.”

And best of all – from some people’s point of view, anyway – the facility is still on time and under budget, according to SD62 superintendent Jim

Cambridge.Watch the Gazette

It’s that time of year again. The time when peo-ple are looking around their houses and yards, wondering how they’ve managed to accumulate so much stuff they don’t need and addressing how to remedy that.

It’s spring cleaning time.The Juan de Fuca branch of the Navy League of

Canada and the Beacon Hill Sea Cadets have come up with a way to help.

On April 11 and 12 volunteers will be at the Navy League hall, 948 Dunford Rd. in Langford, collect-League hall, 948 Dunford Rd. in Langford, collect-League hall, 948 Dunford Rd. in Langford, collecting donations of unwanted metal to be recycled.

Leoni Gingras, vice-president of the JDF branch, says it’s an excellent opportunity to both give back to the community – one of their primary goals – and increase their ability to offer programs, activi-ties and services to youth.

“We’re quite unique in that it’s not that expen-sive to be a part of what we do,” she says.

“It’s a lot more than just kids out on boats,” Gin--gras says, laughing.

This weekend’s scrap metal collection fund-raiser, the first of its kind for the group, came about because one of the cadet corps officers recently got a job at a metal recycler. That officer brought it forward as a possible opportunity to both raise funds and teach the kids another aspect of social responsibility. Not surprisingly, the orga-of social responsibility.

Only a select few may now walk over William Head. One must either be a “guest” of Her Majesty and the Government of Canada, or an employee, for it is now a medium security penitentiary.

This is not a far cry from the peninsula’s early history, when as a Quarantine Station it was a mandatory first port of call for every ship arriv-ing on the West Coast. Ships and passengers were required to pass the medical officer’s inspection for infectious diseases, mainly smallpox. If illness was found, the ship was tied to the long wharves and everybody and everything was fumigated and detained until cleared of infection.

Over the 87 years of its operation, many people were employed and lived on the site. Whole fami-lies grew up and went to school at the station, many of whom still reside locally and they have shared their stories with Peter Johnson, historian and author.

The story of the Station is told brilliantly in his book “Quarantined; Life and Death at William Head Station, 1872-1959.” It is an engrossing read, shining a light on medical history and immigration to Canada.

How else would we know about the Smallpox Wars between Vancouver and Victoria city coun-

cils, or the bureaucratic disinterest of Ottawa? The book is available at local book stores and at the Metchosin Museum Schoolhouse on Happy Valley Road.

Wendy Mitchell is president of the Metcho-sin Museum Society. She can be reached at [email protected].

While many people are fuming over congestion in the region, Steven Hurdle, manager of Goldstream Bicycles in Langford, is one area resident who doesn’t get too concerned by the traffic

out in front of his shop.

He doesn’t own a car.

Considering the traffic snarls around the West Shore most mornings, it makes sense that the walls of Goldstream Bicycles are covered with a wide variety of commuter bikes. When the weather is decent, a lot

of regular car commuters hop onto their bikes. The most current Statistics Canada data show municipalities in Victoria have the country’s highest rate of bicycle commuters.

Having more cyclists utilize the prime cycling routes in the area makes for a more sustainable region in the long run. Many people in Langford and Colwood commute to UVic, Camosun, downtown or to work on the West Shore, rain or shine, all year around.

Steven and his team have been instinctively running Goldstream Bikes with sustainability at the forefront and have been certified at the highest level of “green” by Vancouver Island Green Building Certification (VIGBC). They have taken steps to dramatically reduce the waste that ends up in the landfill, and they recycle and reuse almost everything that comes into the store.

VIGBC was able to help steer them towards composting, so they are now diverting almost all of their waste from the landfill.

“We have some pretty specific recycling needs,” Steven says. “In addition to paper and hard plastic and glass, we also recycle soft plastic, aluminum, steel and more.”

Recycling has been in the DNA of the business for a long time. Its founder, Grant Turner, still works there 25 years later. His father grew up in the depression and taught him to never waste anything.

But recycling is only part of the story. They started emailing receipts several years ago and they don’t require a printed receipt for returns or exchange.

“Ninety-nine per cent of customers

prefer it,” Steven says. “They don’t have to worry about holding onto the piece of paper, and we can look up their sales history easily. We’ve saved tonnes of paper, toner and electricity. Searching your inbox for a receipt is much more convenient than searching for a physical copy – for the customer and us both. And someone looking at buying a bike? Now we can email you a detailed quote, rather than scribbling the bike’s name and price on the back of a business card.”

The bike ride from Langford to downtown Victoria is about 45 minutes. Commuting in a car from the West Shore during peak periods often takes more than that.

If you are ready to step up your game, you can get yourself onto a road bike or touring bike, as these are the most efficient for longer commutes.

Several of the staff at Goldstream Bicycles have extensive touring experience and they are more than happy to help steer you down the right

track. People have been riding bikes for hundreds of years, but cycling in Greater Victoria also has a rich history, thanks to our temperate climate and active lifestyles.

Research suggests cyclists are happier with their commutes than those who bus or drive. Plus, it’s one less car stuck in traffic.

The labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in heavy construction ramps up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C.

The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health-care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied

natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly educated young people work part-time and refuse to leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and

it’s only going to get worse.This summer, work is scheduled

to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

B.C. Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides

acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up B.C. Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. B.C. Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking B.C. Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter

B.C.’s labour market goes global

Let’s show our national pride

Many of us on the West Shore cheered loudly when one of our neighboring arenas was chosen winner of the 2015 Kraft Hockeyville online competition.

While we believe North Saanich’s Panorama Recreation Centre will do its community and the region proud when it comes to hosting an NHL pre-season game and putting the $100,000 prize to good use, the West Shore also has a fantastic opportunity to show the region how great a job it can do in hosting an international event.

Langford welcomes the world April 18 and 19 when the Canada Women’s Sevens rugby tournament takes over Westhills Stadium. This event, one of the last three qualifiers for the 2016 Rio Olympics, promises the most exciting and fast-paced rugby action seen here since the America’s Rugby Championship came to Westhills last fall.

Canada, which finished third in the first three qualifiers, sits tied for second overall with Australia, behind series leader New Zealand. With a good showing on their home turf, the women in red and white can virtually clinch a spot in next year’s Summer Games, the first Olympics to host rugby sevens.

A loud, packed house will no doubt give our Canadian women the boost they need to get the job done.

From a hosting perspective, teams and players representing countries from Australia and Brazil to China and Russia will descend upon the Capital Region in the days before the tournament. As such, local residents and merchants have a chance to showcase the West Shore for these international guests and are encouraged to lay out the welcome mat.

While voting with a mouse click can produce great results, as we’ve seen with the Hockeyville campaign, West Shore residents can vote with their feet and come out to support Langford-based Team Canada.

Let’s show our pride in our region, our country and our national team and make this event one to remember and build on.

Go Canada go!

‘A union vs. non-union battle is underway over the Site C dam project.’


LETTERSElector assent process unclear on water project

An ad entitled “Notice to Electors Within the Capital Regional District” (Gazette, April 1) concerned an “Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaw 3981 – Authorizing the borrowing of $14.8 million for acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the western communities of the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Area.”

This would be over the next five years, or an average of $3 million per year.

Let’s not dwell on the fact that “acquiring” was indicated before “designing” in the statement (hopefully lessons have been learned from Victoria’s Blue Bridge steel acquisition). The real issue is the concept of alternative approval process without a) making it clear up front what is being requested and b) sufficient information being provided to the electors to make a rational decision.

It states the CRD may proceed with the bylaw (i.e., to borrow) unless at least 5,561 electors sign and submit a pre-approved form by May 4. Such a response would force the CRD board to gain elector assent via referendum, to proceed with the bylaw adoption. However, it has to be read a couple of times to fully realize the intent.

Why would electors want a referendum? The debt servicing costs – principal and interest – would be recovered through the retail water rate paid by we, the taxpayers.

But the notice gives no information whatsoever about the new water distribution facilities, how the total cost was arrived at, how this borrowing will be accomplished or its possible terms and conditions. Only by checking the proposed bylaw on the CRD website does one find it is a 15-year maximum and a debenture. Among the questions to be asked, who are the target investors? If federal government borrowings are considered to be at the risk-free rate, even B.C. government borrowings then carry a risk premium. So what premium would a regional entity like the CRD borrowing carry? Will it be guaranteed by the B.C. government?

Would the CRD have to agree it could add a property tax levy in addition to an increased water rate to service the debt if necessary? What will be the impact on the water rate?

Regrettably, the CRD lost the confidence and trust of a good many constituents over the as yet unresolved sewage treatment project. Electors in the western communities are being asked to again trust the CRD without the benefit of full disclosure, amid a process conceptually similar to the long since outlawed negative advertising that the federal government passed legislation against years ago.

This Notice to Electors obfuscated the issue and did not provide full disclosure.

This ability to proceed with an alternative approval process is flawed and the B.C. government should move to prevent it or ensure it can only be accompanied by all the required information.

The CRD board has not earned my confidence that it should be given a pass on this issue. In fact, the bylaw received first, second and third reading all on the same day, Nov. 12, suggesting there was little, if any debate.

The form can be downloaded at bit.ly/1CdfVL7.

Conservative senatorsneed to smarten up

I don’t blame the people in the Senate for spending our money. The people in question should be the ones signing their cheques.

I don’t see any sense behind any of this. Most senators did not contribute enough to the system to even be somewhat recognized, and they’ve done little for you and me. Let them tell us why they think they deserve all the high wages, perks and bonuses.

It sounds like very few of the chosen senators (by who?) are truly dedicated to their jobs, and the rest are just greedy takers. We need to have much better control and knowledge of our spending.

When it comes to provid-ing recreational opportunities, West Shore Parks and Recre-ation doesn’t stand still.

Members of the public can get a sense of how busy this organization is at this week’s board of directors meeting, which gets underway with a tour of the new velodrome turf at 6:45 p.m. Thursday (April 9).

“We’re expecting the velo-drome practice field to be up and going in May,” said parks and rec board chair and Col-wood Coun. Rob Martin.

The project was delayed when a problem was encoun-

tered with the original turf, but workers had nearly finished installing the second batch of material to start this week.

Besides the turf, which will eventually be used as a prac-tice field by new tenant Velox

Rugby Club and youth sports organizations, new lines are being cre-ated on the velodrome surface for the track cyclists. “We’re really excited about it,” Mar-tin said of the refurbish-ing of the facility.

The regular portion of the meeting happens at 7 p.m. in the fieldhouse next to the soccer fields and golf course. Among the other items on the agenda are updates on programming fees and charges for 2015-16, and the society’s five-year strategic plan.

CorrectionA story in the April

10 Gazette Homefinder section about the Young Life Home Reno-vation and Design Tour contained the wrong dates. It is actually Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12.

Public invited to check out velodrome turf

Crowther memorial lacrosse game re-establishedShamrocks alumni will take on club’s young up-and-comersDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff

A player who was once a bright light in the Victoria Shamrocks lacrosse organization will be remembered again at this Friday’s (April 10) John Crowther Memo-rial charity game at The Q Centre.

Having not been played under this name for some years now, the game will see members of the intermediate and junior A Sham-rocks teams against a collection of retired players including Lewis Ratcliffe, Grant Pepper, Darcy Ber-thiaume and other former stars.

“This is an initiative of the Shamrock alumni,” says junior Shamrocks general manager Rod

Wood of the resurrection of the Crowther game. “They formed a formal society last year and are trying to bring back some of the old tradition and give something back to the community at the same time.”

At the time of his death at age 22 in 1984, Vic High alumni Crowther had been a standout junior player and appeared to be one of the heirs to the mantle of Shamrock greats like Bob Cool and Kevin Alexander.

This season, the late boxla star’s nephew, Lucas Crowther, is a rookie with the Shamrocks juniors. He and cousin Mason McNeil (a Juan de Fuca pee wee player), along with 96-year-old Betty Crowther, John’s mother, will take part in opening faceoff ceremonies on Friday.

As a show of respect, junior Shamrock Cole Pickup – also a Vic-toria Grizzlies hockey player – has given Lucas his uncle’s old num-

ber 22 for this season.Proceeds from the game will

benefit the junior Shamrocks and the club’s alumni association. Past years have seen money from char-ity games go toward scholarships and helping pay registration fees

for youth players whose families could not afford it.

The game, set to start at 7 p.m., offers minor lacrosse players a good chance to see their heroes in action, Wood says. As a way to help grow the game, he adds, chil-

dren 12 and under will be admit-ted free. All other tickets will be sold on a walk-up basis only for $10.

Most people know that diabetes is a disease that affects the blood sugar levels in the body. The symptoms of diabetes include unusual thirst, fatigue and hunger, and increased need to urinate. Those with the acute, Type 1, form of diabetes will need and seek treatment because their symptoms are severe. Many people with the less acute, Type 2, form of the disease can try to ignore their symptoms and they live with chronically elevated blood sugar levels. This damages many tissues in the body including the blood vessels.

Optometrists are often the first to detect diabetes because its onset can cause a relatively sudden change in vision. This change can be reversed when the blood sugar level is controlled. Poorly controlled diabetes can have very serious effects on the eyes. Blood vessels can leak in the retina at the back of the eye and small blood vessels can grow where they should not. This is called diabetic retinopathy, and if untreated can lead to blindness. Retinal specialists often use lasers to control the spread of the retinopathy.

If you are overweight, over forty, have a family history of diabetes, or are experiencing symptoms, you should ask your family physician about the possibility of diabetes. If diabetes is diagnosed, your family physician will want you to have regular eye exams as part of the monitoring of the disease. Sometimes a team of professionals will work to help you develop a healthy lifestyle with suitable nutrition and exercise. In some cases medication can be avoided by a change in diet. Your Optometrist can be an important member of your team.

Travis Paterson and Gary AhujaBlack Press

Growing up in Saanich, Rhys Duch was the type of kid who was constantly playing something.

At age 13, he decided to focus on a family favourite, lacrosse. “My parents got me involved in every sport,” he said. “You name it, I played it. They exposed me to every-thing and then I chose what I liked best and lacrosse was it. I saw opportunity in (lacrosse) scholarship-wise.”

Now 28, his resume includes stellar stints in field lacrosse at New York’s Stony Brook University, and box lacrosse with the Colwood-based Victoria junior and senior Shamrocks.

This season with the pro National Lacrosse League’s Vancouver Stealth, the scoring star has demolished Gary Rosyski’s franchise records for career goals and points (530). Duch began at 520 and is fast closing in on 600.

A prolific scorer at every level, Duch was the third overall pick in the 2008 NLL draft, getting selected by the San Jose Stealth – who relocated to Everett, Wash., before settling in Langley as the Vancou-ver Stealth in 2014.

Despite scoring 252 goals in his NLL career he is loathe to discuss the franchise scoring record.

“It just means my teammates and coaches have put a lot of faith in me over the years to be the guy that is relied upon to get points,” he said. “We don’t play for personal accolades; that is not what you set out to achieve in your career, a bunch of personal stuff. Team victories mean more, but it is nice to be recognized for your accomplish-ments.”

What stands out about Duch is his remarkable consis-tency while playing at a high level.

On par for a career-high 102 points, he averaged 87 points a year in the previous six seasons. Only Cal-gary’s Dane Dobbie (232 goals) has scored more in that span, while future Shamrocks teammate and NLL standout Dan Dawson (551 points) is the lone player to amass more points in that same span.

“We saw something special in him,” said Doug Locker, Stealth president and general manager, who was assistant GM when Duch was drafted. “He had the proven track record at junior and at Stony Brook, as a natu-ral goal scorer.” Duch

did not disappoint, winning the NLL rookie of the year award in 2009, setting the league record for rookie assists (54) and points (89).

“Rhys really has been the heart and soul of the team from an offensive standpoint,” Locker said. “He is just one of

those guys you can depend on to get 35 to 45 goals a year just because he is such a good shooter.”

While success may drive some to have an ego, that is not the case with the Stealth sniper. Locker said Duch isn’t cocky, but is confident in his skills.

“Usually when you see the ball in Duch’s stick, he has a knack for rising up in those key situations,” Locker said. “He is a guy who consistently rises in big situations, pressure situations. He loves having the ball in those situations.”

For Duch, he is simply doing what he has always done: score goals. Offence has always been the key, ever since he was five years old.

“I was always getting in trouble for not putting in a full effort on defence,” he said with a chuckle. “I have always had an attraction to the excitement and — for lack of a bet-ter word — the glory that offensive guys get.”

Duch, Dawson and the rest of the Shamrocks get their Western Lacrosse Assocviation season underway on May 22 against Nanaimo at The Q Centre.

CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA

Indian celebration offers a cultural immersionSaanich Fairgrounds playing host to family oriented event

For members of the Sikh community, the centuries-old festival of Vaisakhi marks the beginning of the new year, the birth of the Khalsa and the completion of the wheat harvest.

While local residents with the non-profit India Canada Cultural Association may not be as directly involved in agri-culture as their forebearers, the marking of this special time of year in Greater Victoria offers numerous opportunities to experience Indian food, traditional dance and other cultural activities.

Not so ironically, this Sunday’s Vai-sakhi Mela (a Sanskrit word meaning gathering, or to meet) is happening at the Saanich Fairgrounds, a Central Saa-nich venue tied directly to agricultural celebrations.

The free gathering at the fairgrounds represents the festival side of Vaisakhi, one of the most important cultural events of the year globally for members of the Sikh community – Hindus, Bud-dhists and Tamils also celebrate, but in slightly different ways. The festival also includes special prayer services and events at the gurdwaras (temples).

It’s primarily about family, says Serena Rai, a Victoria resident who has danced the traditional Indian bhangra style since she was five and performed often at such celebrations.

“We’re a close group. We all kind of

pull together and work well as a group in order to make it a fun event for every-body,” she says.

While the mela has plenty of out-ward cultural appeal, Rai, as part of the younger generation, also appreciates the efforts being made to maintain her eth-nic Indian heritage.

“It’s so important to look at what our elders are doing for us as a community,” she says of Vaisakhi-related events. “It makes me very proud to know my chil-dren (will be able to participate), as this is being passed from generation to gen-eration.”

Gordy Dodd, a well-known Greater Vic-toria merchant and president of the India Canada Cultural Association, noted that the marking of Vaisakhi can have many beneficial elements.

“(This) celebration is about sharing and family,” he said.

“I firmly believe that when a commu-nity gathers in sharing its food, culture, music, art and dance, then our whole community of Victoria gains a sense of tranquility, equality and belonging that is spiritually healing for all of us.”

The Vaisakhi Mela, running from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at 1528 Stelly’s X Rd. in Central Saanich, features a market, authentic Indian food stalls, henna tat-too applications and a variety of free chil-dren’s activities.

There will be outfit, food and decora-tion contests for attendees to take part in. From an entertainment standpoint, there will be various musical and dance performances and competitions, head-lined by members of the Apna Virsa

(translates to our cultural roots), which is billed as the region’s premier Punjabi arts and culture group.

According to Khushia Gill, the coach and leader of Apna Virsa, “Cultural dance knows no race, colour or ethnicity; only talent and passion.” and this groups remarkable energy and synergy symbol-izes this way of dance.

The ICCA is mandated to celebrate and raise awareness about the power, diversity and colour of India’s rich cul-ture. For more than 40 years, the soci-ety has worked towards creating bridges between the Indo-Canadian community in Greater Victoria and other cultural groups.

Getting there and backFor people wishing to attend Vaisakhi events in Saanichton but looking to avoid driving, transportation will be provided from various locations.n Vehicles will leave the Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple at 1210 Topaz Ave. at 11:30 a.m., noon and 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Departures from Saanich Commonwealth Place are at noon, 12:30, 2, 3 and 4 p.m.n Vehicles also leave Mayfair Centre from the Toys R Us entrance at noon, 1 and 2 p.m., while departures from Sizzling Tandoor at Uptown happen at 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.n Regular return times from the fairgrounds begin at 12:30 p.m. and run every 15 minutes starting at 4:30.

Victoria Karting club guides sport at Langford trackDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Head out to Western Speedway on a Saturday after-noon in early spring or Monday nights in summer, and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find go-karts rac-ing around the track.

Not to be confused with the public go-karts avail-able for six-minute rides just inside the Millstream Road gates, these are bona fide racing karts, piloted by drivers age six to adult, on a course that winds its way on and through the tri-oval used from spring to fall by full-sized race cars and trucks.

“We’ve revitalized it over the years,” says Ian Walker of Victoria Karting, which over-sees the drop-in race days. Where karting was once in a funk at the track, it’s now back to operating on a more or less year-long basis.

“The last couple of times we’re getting a lot more young guys involved, says Walker, who looks after safety, schedules and general information.

Victoria Karting is a family friendly body that avoids such com-petitive aspects as points championships and strives to prevent the same drivers from winning all the time. It nonetheless races under Canadian karting regulations laid down by ASN Canada FIA, the governing body of motorsport in this country.

Four-stroke motor classes include the Honda lights for ages six through 10, junior Honda class (ages six to 16) and Honda seniors (ages 16 and up). There’s also a Honda Rotax class for the more powerful two-stroke engines.

Victoria Karting’s tech and regula-tions man, Jonathan Reaume, whose family has played a key role in rejuvenating kart-ing locally in recent years, says it’s an activ-ity everyone can get involved in, from driv-ing to pit crew.

“A lot of people get into lacrosse or other sports during the sum-mer, but this is one of the only year-round things available,” he says.

Walker’s family is a good example of how karting can be a real family affair. He com-petes in the senior class, while his two sons also drive. Kart

racers pay a $35 fee on race day, but the $50 family rate makes it more affordable, Reaume points out.

Pre-built Honda-powered karts eligible to race at this level can be somewhat tough to find on the Island, he says. Victoria Karting can help motivated people acquire a kart, if need be. Technical guidelines are available at victoriakarting.com.

The next race day is April 25, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Racing shifts to Monday evenings on July 6, when the summer schedule gets underway. For more informa-tion, visit victoriakarting.com or contact Walker at 250-661-7445 or [email protected].

CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA

Indian celebration offers a cultural immersionSaanich Fairgrounds playing host to family oriented event

For members of the Sikh community, the centuries-old festival of Vaisakhi marks the beginning of the new year, the birth of the Khalsa and the completion of the wheat harvest.

While local residents with the non-profit India Canada Cultural Association may not be as directly involved in agri-culture as their forebearers, the marking of this special time of year in Greater Victoria offers numerous opportunities to experience Indian food, traditional dance and other cultural activities.

Not so ironically, this Sunday’s Vai-sakhi Mela (a Sanskrit word meaning gathering, or to meet) is happening at the Saanich Fairgrounds, a Central Saa-nich venue tied directly to agricultural celebrations.

The free gathering at the fairgrounds represents the festival side of Vaisakhi, one of the most important cultural events of the year globally for members of the Sikh community – Hindus, Bud-dhists and Tamils also celebrate, but in slightly different ways. The festival also includes special prayer services and events at the gurdwaras (temples).

It’s primarily about family, says Serena Rai, a Victoria resident who has danced the traditional Indian bhangra style since she was five and performed often at such celebrations.

“We’re a close group. We all kind of

pull together and work well as a group in order to make it a fun event for every-body,” she says.

While the mela has plenty of out-ward cultural appeal, Rai, as part of the younger generation, also appreciates the efforts being made to maintain her eth-nic Indian heritage.

“It’s so important to look at what our elders are doing for us as a community,” she says of Vaisakhi-related events. “It makes me very proud to know my chil-dren (will be able to participate), as this is being passed from generation to gen-eration.”

Gordy Dodd, a well-known Greater Vic-toria merchant and president of the India Canada Cultural Association, noted that the marking of Vaisakhi can have many beneficial elements.

“(This) celebration is about sharing and family,” he said.

“I firmly believe that when a commu-nity gathers in sharing its food, culture, music, art and dance, then our whole community of Victoria gains a sense of tranquility, equality and belonging that is spiritually healing for all of us.”

The Vaisakhi Mela, running from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at 1528 Stelly’s X Rd. in Central Saanich, features a market, authentic Indian food stalls, henna tat-too applications and a variety of free chil-dren’s activities.

There will be outfit, food and decora-tion contests for attendees to take part in. From an entertainment standpoint, there will be various musical and dance performances and competitions, head-lined by members of the Apna Virsa

(translates to our cultural roots), which is billed as the region’s premier Punjabi arts and culture group.

According to Khushia Gill, the coach and leader of Apna Virsa, “Cultural dance knows no race, colour or ethnicity; only talent and passion.” and this groups remarkable energy and synergy symbol-izes this way of dance.

The ICCA is mandated to celebrate and raise awareness about the power, diversity and colour of India’s rich cul-ture. For more than 40 years, the soci-ety has worked towards creating bridges between the Indo-Canadian community in Greater Victoria and other cultural groups.
