Capital Regional District directors once again shut down a motion by naysayers last week to pull the reins on the region’s secondary sewage

treatment project.Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward

a motion for an independent review of the plan and parallel public input process to solicit alternative ideas, both in an effort to appease many residents who feel their concerns have not been heard.

The motion was defeated last Wednesday by directors 10-4, or 41-14 when weighted for population size.

Two disparate perspectives seem to be solidifying among local politicians. A majority of directors are publicly committed to the current plan because of a strict federally mandated compliance deadline of 2020 and the fear of losing federal and provincial funding, or two-thirds of the project’s $783-million price tag.

On the other side, a minority of directors that include Derman, View Royal Mayor Graham Hill, Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton and Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins believe public confidence in the project continues to erode due to poor consultation.

“There is huge concern in the general public in terms of trust, confidence and confusion as to what the heck is going on,” Desjardins said.

“And we’re not doing ourselves any service down at CRD by not taking a pause, making sure we’ve answered those questions, and getting communities to come onside. You do that by understanding and by listening to them.”

Despite protests, sewage plan marches forward

A year after the Songhees First Nation started its campaign to protect their chunk of Chatham and Discovery islands, the work has paid off.

Though Chatham, and a large portion of Discovery, are protected Indian Reserve land, the private islands are some of the most frequently trespassed, with wandering explorers camping and often littering on the land. Last summer, through taxation, the Songhees funded a

zodiac to patrol waters with help from a designated bylaw officer and the RCMP.

A year later, Songhees Chief Ron Sam says the efforts are making a difference.

“It’s been a pretty quiet year so far, one of the quietest ones we’ve ever had, I’d say,” said Sam.

The patrols were initially aimed at education to combat the amount of garbage left on the islands by trespassers which, last summer, included a wheelchair. By April, however, the nation had instituted surveillance technology and a mandate to “aggressively patrol”

the islands with the RCMP South Island Marine Section by boat and on foot. People caught trespassing will now face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both.

“The traffic has really died down this year. We aren’t seeing the kind of garbage we did before, and we do still have our volunteers going out and making sure things continue to be cleaned out,” said Sam.

Island protection campaign a success

The Songhees started an aggressive educational campaign last year to curb damage caused by trespassers who would illegally camp on the islands.

The stunning backdrop of 10 acres of Metchosin farmland will greet guests to the annual Feast of Fields this fall.

“I love this event,” said Fiona Hamersley Chambers, the chosen venue for the event. “As a farmer and a producer this just ties in so well with what I do and love.”

It’s a return to the scene for some long-time Feasters, the venue is a portioned-off parcel of Sea Bluff Farm, which hosted the event in 2000.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what the other

chefs and vendors have put together because as a farmer I don’t get to go out that often,” she said with a laugh. “I commute from my house to the greenhouse and back again.”

The farm and farmer were “broken in” hosting a friend’s wedding and now they’re ready for the influx of up to 600 foodies Sept. 22.

Feast of Fields likes to highlight the farms around Vancouver Island,” said Jennifer Freeman of FarmFolk CityFolk which celebrates its 20th year in 2013. “It’s a very fun and tasty way to support the food security movement.”

Feast of Fields started on Vancouver Island 1998 and has been held twice in Metchosin, at Sea Bluff and Metchosin Sheep Farm in 2010.

Over the 15 years, FarmFolk CityFolk has donated more

Farmland venue brings foodies to West Shore

than $100,000 back into B.C. communities. Feast proceeds these days are invested in VanCity’s microloan program for local farmers and food producers.

“Food security is often in the hands of private endeavours,” Freeman said. “So by creating the microloan partnership with the (Island Chef’s Collaborative) and VanCity, it helps somebody

with the vision and goal to create further food in their community apply for a loan.”

The palatable event features food by Island chefs, farmers and food artisans and is paired with locally produced wines and ales, ciders and mead.

“It’s a great festival atmosphere and you’re with a bunch of like-minded people,” Hamersley Chambers said.

“They’re enjoying the fruits of the labour, and stuff tastes so good at these events, I think people are inspired to think about their food.”

Only 600 tickets, at $95 each, are available online through farmfolkcityfolk.ca or in person at Cook Culture, 1317 Blanshard St., and must be bought in advance.

“You get to watch the chickens scratch for food. You’re getting out of the city and seeing where your food is coming from,” Freeman said.

“It’s also a great way to showcase different businesses that are working hard to support the local food scene.” editor@goldstreamgazette.

Venture down the rabbit hole at Point Ellice House next Sunday (Aug. 25), as the grounds of the historic site are transformed into an Alice in Wonderland-like world of oddities.

The all-ages Mad Tea Party runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and features an afternoon tea of Rice Krispie square playing cards, “Eat Me” cookies and Cheshire Cat-coloured cupcakes among other goodies.

“We always have afternoon teas, so this is just something a little more exciting,” said Michaela Gatien, manger of operations. “We’re going to have the place decked out in decorations – crazy tea pots, talking flowers and little ‘Drink Me’ bottles of juice.”

Staff will be dressed up in Alice in Wonderland costumes and Gatien encourages visitors to do the same.

“The sillier, the better,” she said.

There will also be plenty of games for children including flamingo croquet and pin-the-smile on the Cheshire cat.

Point Ellice House is located at 2616 Pleasant St. in Rock Bay.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids.

The University of Victoria is seeing a significant bump in student enrolment this year, especially in the faculty of engineering.

The university has a 13 per cent increase in new full-time students for the fall semester, or about 520 people. About 4,500 students will experience the campus for the first time this September, out of more than 20,000 total in undergrad and graduate studies.

“This is a banner year. There’s much bigger numbers this year,” said Wendy Joyce, director of UVic undergraduate admissions. “We are seeing a healthy trend.”

Engineering programs have the biggest increase in new students, Joyce said, up 35 per cent. Those numbers should tip that faculty to more than 1,600 students.

Joyce said staff haven’t yet analyzed underlying reasons for this year’s uptick in enrolment, but she noted that UVic aggressively markets itself across Canada and the world. Enrolment is also swayed by the job market and

the health of the economy.UVic enrolment stats show the campus saw a

burst of new students in 2009, but that flatlined over the past three years. Comparing fall 2011 and fall 2012, UVic saw virtually no net increase in students.

“At different times we may get more of an influx out of province or more U.S. students depending on the politics happening in the States,” Joyce said. “The unemployment rate is also a factor when people decide when to attend school.”

Any increase in the student body is generally welcome by businesses, landlords and restaurants in the city. UVic’s economic impact report released last year estimated that the campus’s 15,000 full-time students contribute about $177 million per year in direct spending in Greater Victoria.

Camosun College’s Lansdowne and Interurban campuses are on track to see an influx of at least 11,440 students in September, which is on par from last year.

The vast majority are from south Vancouver Island and other parts of B.C.

“Camosun is very much a local community college,” noted Joan Yates, Camosun’s vice-president of community engagement.

Like most post-secondary institutions in B.C.,

Camosun is marketing itself to international students, more than 800 for the upcoming semester. Half are from China, and the remainder split between emerging and large economies – South Korea, Japan, India, Brazil and Mexico.

Camosun is also seeing a healthy contingent of aboriginal students, about 1,025 this year, a 6.5 per cent increase.

The college has a goal to have aboriginal students make up at least 10 per cent of its student population.

Royal Roads University has a different ebb and flow of students than UVic and Camosun, and is expecting about 2,500 full-time equivalent students though its blended online and on-campus graduate programs and on-campus undergrad programs.

RRU started aggressively recruiting international students a few years ago and is starting to see results – 450 for this fall versus 270 last year.

Scenic RRU is continually adding on-campus undergraduate programs similar to a traditional university, but “even when we build this ... out to capacity, Royal Roads will still be primarily a graduate school with blended programs,” noted Steve Grundy, RRU vice president, academic and provost.

with activities for children The CRD is well into its request for proposals process for a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point, scheduled for completion by 2016. Esquimalt has made that process more difficult by tweaking zoning approval to encourage commercial, residential and amenity development on the site in conjunction with the CRD project.

In a statement released last week, CRD chair Alastair Bryson said alternative sewage treatment options have already been considered and deemed to be too costly, and an appointed seven-person commission of unelected officials is already well underway in planning the current project.

“Pursuit of a new or parallel process could undermine the independence and work of the commission and significantly delay the entire project,” Bryson said.

Desjardins warned public discontent isn’t going to disappear any time soon.

“Many members of the public are trying to provide alternatives and questions that would provide better options and they’re being shut down, and that is not acceptable,” she said.

alarms last week. Families with alarm systems are

asked to review their procedures, have a contact person on file with the alarm company, ensure the system is working properly and

to ensure everyone in the home knows how to use it to prevent unwarranted calls to police.

Tie up your goodsPolice responded to a number

of theft reports last week. A scooter was stolen from

a south Oak Bay underground garage and two reports of theft occurred at the Oak Bay Rec-reation Centre when personal valuables were left unattended. Residents are again reminded to secure items in the lockers pro-vided or leave them at home.

Can glasses weaken my eyes?There is a common misconception that wearing cor-

rective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the de-terioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientific basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses.

Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eye-sight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide.

We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes be-comes less flexible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably.

Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postpone-ment or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efficiency and even one’s safety.

Bike for wildlife launches from Victoria

An Ottawa woman is embarking on a 6,000-kilometre journey from Victoria to Halifax to help raise conservation aware-ness for the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Last week, Angella Goran kicked off her trek at the Robert Bateman Centre on Belleville Street in the Inner Har-bour.

Goran hopes to encourage youth to get outdoors, connect to nature and lead active, healthy lifestyles.

She’ll be stopping at camps, schools and community events along the way to raise awareness for the CWF’s wildlife conservation programs. For more infor-mation, visit bikeforwildlife.ca.

Dance into fall with Rukus

Roll up your cuffs and shine your shoes – residents of Oak Bay will have a chance to rock their late-summer blues away with a tribute dance and burger hop.

The Monterey Recreation Centre is hosting Island favourite Rukus for a rock‘n’ roll tribute dance Saturday, Sept. 21.

All adults welcome to the 19+ event,

which will offer a no-host bar at 5 p.m. to help muster your courage for some min-gling and dancing as the evening plays on. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., a burger and dessert dinner will be served (included in the ticket price). Then, starting at 6:45 p.m., Rukus will come out to shake up the show with the band’s classic style of tunes until 11 p.m.

Tickets are $23, on sale Sept. 1 through Recreation Oak Bay. Go to oakbay.ca for more information.

It was one of the first things we learn as a team.

One team member takes the lead yelling, “Hey, Camp Goodtimes, how do we feel?” Followed by the entire Tour de Rock team answering: “We feel awesome, awesome, very awesome,” in unison – culminating with a cheer and an animated fist pump.

Four months into training for the 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock trek along Vancouver Island, “The Cheer” seems as much a part of the tour as the riders themselves.

Equal parts energizing, especially after a long training ride, and team building, it is a staple after every training ride, alongside a round of friendly fist bumps, handshakes and hugs among team members.

I realize now, however, that I didn’t truly understand what the cheer meant until I visited Camp Goodtimes.

Sixty kilometres east of Vancouver in

Maple Ridge, and nestled along picturesque Loon Lake across hectares of lakeside cabins, lodges, a kitchen and numerous play areas including a WildPlay-type outdoor climbing challenge, the sprawling camp is a place many children with cancer yearn to go every year.

The summer recreation camp – for children and teens with cancer and their families – is a place where kids can just be kids, regardless of medical history or circumstance.

Here they live and play – mostly play – among those who know and understand the disease at a campground featuring medical supervision, on-site support and travel assistance at no cost to participants.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family is diagnosed, and the variety of different programs offered at Camp Goodtimes include activities where parents can stay with their young children or take time for themselves.

It is a week or two that many children, some of whom spend as much time at a children’s hospital as they do at home, look forward to every year.

It was here, crowded into a lodge packed to the brim with children and my Tour de Rock teammates, where it was as likely to see colourful writing scrawled in crayon as it was neatly printed computer fonts, where I truly learned why the fundraising from Cops for Cancer, Tour de Rock is so important and reaffirmed why I wanted so badly to be a part of it.

I also learned the children learn “The Cheer” early on, a chant of both solidarity and energy among children who are given respite for a short period at Camp

Goodtimes and can forget about their illness and just have fun. It was here, after an evening filled with playing and spending time with staff, volunteers and campers, where I truly heard the cheer for the first time.

It’s already a pretty impressive sound when 22 riders chime in, in unison, driving their fists in the air and pumping their arms, but here at Camp Goodtimes, moments before we boarded the bus and left, the cheer rang out once more.

The sound is still imprinted in my head. The sheer volume, escalated by voices both big and especially small, rings in my ears every time our team performs it at the end of our rides.

Despite having done it many times before and after, I remember hearing it like I had never heard it before and may never hear again. It was awesome. Very awesome indeed.

that I didn’t truly understood what the cheer meant until I visited Camp Goodtimes.

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students

heading for post-second-ary education this fall.

In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and quali-fications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.”

B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combina-tion of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north.

“My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our popula-tion is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indi-rectly related jobs are located else-where.”

That’s not the only blunt mes-sage for students deciding on a career. While defending his minis-try’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched.

Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry

or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas

that are familiar to them, such as teaching.

B.C. universities gradu-ated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of prov-ince and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas.

It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. gov-ernment’s endless “jobs

plan” advertising that more stu-dents need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowl-edges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs.

NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and B.C. Insti-tute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 mil-lion over the next three years.

Virk said post-secondary institu-tions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start.

In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal train-ing money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Bruns-wick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall.

As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provin-cial program, and the average is $20,000.

One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen pro-gram. With 23,000 students collect-ing $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not.

Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magni-tude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Pressure on for skills training

‘B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020’

Lessons of a lagging economyThis month students from across the

province and the country, and an increasing number from out of country,

will flood into Greater Victoria for their post-secondary education.

All told, on the order of 35,000 full- and part-time students will be attending post-secondary classes at the University of Victoria, Camosun College or Royal Roads University, which is a few thousand more people than the population of Langford, or nearly 10 per cent of the region’s population.

As much as Victoria is a government town and a military headquarters, it is an education town too, with plenty of high-paying instructor and professor jobs, and support staff to make the educational industry tick.

After a few years of flat growth, UVic is seeing an upswing in new student numbers, about 500 more than last year. Camosun College’s student numbers, by contrast, are falling, but overall there is a net growth in post-secondary students.

Any increase is generally good for Greater Victoria’s economy – students spend on tuition, housing, food and entertainment. UVic’s 2012 economic impact analysis of 15,000 full-time students pegs direct spending at $177 million annually. A Camosun College economic impact study estimated that students that come from outside Greater Victoria collectively spend at least $7 million per year in the region.

The reason why UVic is seeing an increase in student numbers is complex – admissions criteria and marketing can play a role, but the economy tends to be the prime mover – people go to school when times are tough and hopefully finish school during an upswing in the economy.

But since the 2008-09 recession, governments and many companies have remained in a cycle of cutting spending and reducing jobs, either through attrition or direct layoffs. Despite a highly advertized jobs plan, B.C. is creating few jobs, especially for new university graduates trying to launch a career.

More students in post-seconary is generally good for society, but hopefully it’s also not another sign of a sputtering B.C. economy.

Lower speed limits dumbs down driving

Re: Speed limits need a rethink (Our View, Aug. 16).

Your editorial bias is made perfectly clear. After saying the subject of chopping speed limits is up for reasoned debate, you then heap praise on those Luddites trying to cut them.

Those proposing cutting the limit to 40 km/h can’t drive and only want the rest of the popu-lace forced down to their level of cowardice and incompetence.

With the current political climate that it is politi-cally correct to be anti-car and anti-driving, it all fits into the overall campaign to eliminate the pri-vate car.

If these zealots have their way, we’ll all be walk-ing or taking the bus where our very move can be under police surveillance and monitoring.

Driving 50 km/h was established when it was the blanket speed limit, town and country. The limit of 50 km/h was then what 100 km/h would be now, particularly when you consider the improvements made to the car, its brakes, tires, steering, lighting etc. Try driving a classic from the 1920s or ’30s and you’ll see what I mean.

Anybody should be able to steer (as opposed to drive) a car at 40 km/h.

If 40 km/hr goes through, then the requirement for driving tests, and driving lessons, should be removed. Just pay your road access fees and you’re good to go.

Many mysteries remain unanswered

Haven’t you ever wondered: Are we alone in the universe? What lies beyond the edge of it? Will we ever travel at the speed of light? Will the discov-ery of the Higgs Boson explain the origins of life? What makes people intelligent?

And why, despite generations of marine sci-

ence, words of wisdom from our greenest politi-cians, hundreds of speeches and letters and a huge public outcry, does the Capital Regional District waste water committee still refuse to examine the best available options for sewage treatment?

So many mysteries remain unanswered.Lingxia Li

Senate a good place for political friends

Re: Tories fumble Senate reform (Our View, Aug. 14).

Many are the voices of what to do with Canada’s final resting place for politically deserving friends-of-the-government.

Upon “sober second thought,” let’s leave well enough alone. After all, where would we be without being able to bestow partisan consolation prizes upon one’s own failed election candidates by appointing them to Canada’s graveyard of government patronage.

Pity the U.S. Senate where you actually have to win an election to get in, when in Canada all you have to do is lose one.

And here is a “sobering” afterthought: The United States with a population of 314 million has 100 elected senators. Canada with a population of only 35 million has 105 appointed senators. Makes one wonder.

E.W. BoppTsawwassen

Having recently taken up recreational boxing at Peterecs, Island MMA, I was doing a track workout in quiet, tony Oak Bay when I became aware of a particularly nasty dog fight.

I was 100 metres away when the mayhem broke loose – it sounded like a man being murdered in the woods, people were screaming and crying.

I ran as fast as I could and came upon two dogs fighting with their owners helplessly trying to break it up. Make no mistake about it, this was a blood bath, a pit bull blood bath.

I went in with fists to minimal effect, shortly after two big ‘rugby’ guys arrived and they were able to pry the two beasts apart, one a shepherd cross and the other a massive pit bull.

At first, I thought the pit bull would have been the aggressor. Not so.

Not being there at the outset, I could only listen to the aftermath. There were four big dogs in all and two owners. I would guess that the cross bred dog became jealous of the princely pit bull.

After the dogs were pried apart, the shepherd cross was noticeably wired, the pit bull was not even stirred, in retrospect, he stood there calmly whilst the other dog chowed down on his huge head.

The incident was enlightening, as I believed pit bulls to be the perpetual ‘bad guy’, and certainly not allowed behind the Tweed Curtain.

The other lesson learned, with respect to dog fights, is go for the nose (jab, cross, jab) or as a last resort throw a bucket of cold water (or vodka martini, even better) over the combatants.

While boaters can use the provincial park part of Discovery Island (which includes campsites, picnic tables and washrooms), campfires are not permitted on any part of the island. The area is accessible just north of the Oak Bay Marina, where paddlers can launch from Cattle Point. Thanks to the campaign, new signage also clarifies the lands as protected and private.

Still, the island has been a dumping ground for garbage, campfires, vandalism and even a rave in the past,

which some years attracted up to 200 people, bands and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol to the small island. Sam says word in the media and the community has helped people understand the reality of the protected lands.

“It’s everything – the campaign, the surveillance, the bylaw officer – people are starting to listen, and understand that we are serious about this,” he said.

While the Songhees have not yet decided what to do with the lands, which were abandoned by Songhees families who moved away after the well

went dry in 1957, Sam says restoration efforts will be up to the nation as a group. Portions of the islands have since deteriorated and some common species have disappeared, though Sam says there are a few proposals on the table.

“If there is still the traffic out there like we have seen, perhaps we look at creating a permit camping system were users would pay a registration fee,” said Sam. “This would fall into ecotourism, which wraps into the island nicely, but it will be something we need to decide as a group.”

It hasn’t been updated since 1997, but thanks to a push from council and some residents, Oak Bay will be the proud owner of a renewed Official Community Plan by late fall.

A community survey was approved in principle at a special council meeting last week. The survey, which was first drafted through consultation with the official community plan advisory committee, was given initial feedback at a July 25 meeting. The final draft of that survey will be completed by a subcommittee, comprised of Coun. Pam Copley, committee

member Jan Mears and Gary Nason, the chief administrative officer, then sent to all Oak Bay residents sometime in September, giving every community member a chance to define the new vision of Oak Bay.

“This final survey will let all residents have a chance to give their views on a vision for Oak Bay,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. “This is one important step in our Official Community Plan community consultation. And this is an exciting and big step in the OCP process.”

The plan will guide the municipality in future land use and development of the district, through a framework policy that addresses residents’ core values on

housing, transportation, infrastructure, parks, economic development and the natural and social environment.

After the survey is delivered between Sept. 16 and Oct. 21, council expects results to be collected through mail, phone and via a web survey.

Results will be analyzed through the end of November. That won’t be the last say, however, Jensen says more opportunities will be available for public input over the next six to eight months, through meetings or letters to the district.

The survey is expected to cost the district between $7,100 and $8,200, due to the number of residences reached.

Young playwright Corin Wrigley is behind one of the most homegrown plays at this year’s Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival.

Just 17 and already a Fringe veteran, Wrigley is bringing the misunderstood story of baseball superstar Ty Cobb to life in Something Like a War, debuting Thursday (Aug. 22) at The Metro Studio Theatre at 9:45 p.m.

How Wrigley became enamoured with Cobb’s story started with an assuming batting stance. Most batters in baseball hold the bat with their hands together, which is taught to youths.

Wrigley didn’t conform and was associating himself with Cobb at just six years old.

“My dad said that’s how Ty Cobb did it and I thought of myself as Cobb without knowing who he was.”

Wrigley continued to play baseball until 2012, growing from a casual fan to a baseball nut. It happened to correspond with the Tigers, Cobb’s old team, reaching the 2006 and 2012 World Series.

For a 17-year-old recreating a personality from 100 years ago (Cobb’s greatest fame was as a Tiger from 1905 to 1926), the research is impressive. Wrigley has read four biographies and consumed many videos and stories of the legend.

He also managed to secure a 30-minute conversation with Cobb’s grandson Herschel Cobb, who shared a close relationship with his grandfather Ty until he died in 1961.

“It led to some changes in the play, particularly to the end of the play,” Wrigley said.

“When (Herschel) offered to talk to me himself,

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I’d read his book about Ty but talking to him really helped me … I was getting a closer perspective than I ever could have hoped.”

Wrigley, a homeschool grad, isn’t in a rush to enter the University of Victoria’s theatre program, but he is considering it, if not another acting school.

Young playwright Corin Wrigley is behind one of the most homegrown plays at this year’s Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival.

Just 17 and already a Fringe veteran, Wrigley is bringing the misunderstood story of baseball superstar Ty Cobb to life in Something Like a War, debuting Thursday (Aug. 22) at The Metro Studio Theatre at 9:45 p.m.

How Wrigley became enamoured with Cobb’s story started with an assuming batting stance. Most batters in baseball hold the bat with their hands together, which is taught to youths.

Wrigley didn’t conform and was associating himself with Cobb at just six years old.

“My dad said that’s how Ty Cobb did it and I thought of myself as Cobb without knowing who he was.”

Wrigley continued to play baseball until 2012, growing from a casual fan to a baseball nut. It happened to correspond with the Tigers, Cobb’s old team, reaching the 2006 and 2012 World Series.

For a 17-year-old recreating a personality from 100 years ago (Cobb’s greatest fame was as a Tiger from 1905 to 1926), the research is impressive. Wrigley has read four biographies and consumed many videos and stories of the legend.

He also managed to secure a 30-minute conversation with Cobb’s grandson Herschel Cobb, who shared a close relationship with his grandfather Ty until he died in 1961.

“It led to some changes in the play, particularly to the end of the play,” Wrigley said.

“When (Herschel) offered to talk to me himself,

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I’d read his book about Ty but talking to him really helped me … I was getting a closer perspective than I ever could have hoped.”

Wrigley, a homeschool grad, isn’t in a rush to enter the University of Victoria’s theatre program, but he is considering it, if not another acting school.

Daniel PalmerNews staff

At the end of a long work day, New York City drivers arrive, tickets in hand, and watch as hydraulic machines slide their vehicles from a third storey bay to the street level below like a giant game of Tetris. Before inching into sluggish New York traffic, they pay the daily $30 rate, a fair deal by Manhattan standards.

Closer to home, Vancouver bylaw officers hawkishly monitor on-street parking until 10 p.m., seven days a week including holidays. In addition to downtown, nearly every residential neighbourhood has metered on-street parking peppering its major arteries at an average rate of $7 per hour.

While Victoria isn’t quite the satu-rated metropolis of either city, a 2012 Colliers International parking survey

found B.C.’s capital has relatively thrifty parking rates compared to many North American cities.

Victoria’s average monthly ($178), daily ($12.75) and hourly ($2.25) down-town parking fees are lower than 10 major Canadian cities including Vancou-ver, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Halifax; only Regina offered better rates.

Still, many Victoria residents believe downtown Victoria’s roughly 11,000 parking spots aren’t serving them well, despite the introduction of first-hour free parking, prepaid parking cards and other city conveniences over the past decade.

To help remedy this discontent, a comprehensive review of the city’s park-ing services is currently underway, due back before council in October to find out what, if anything, can be done to improve services and increase city rev-enue.

“The review is about making sure the public is able to park wherever they can and make it as easy as possible,” said Ismo Husu, parking services manager.

Downtown Victoria’s population

swells to 200,000 people on an aver-age weekday, leading to common com-plaints about prices and a lack of read-ily available parking spots.

Husu is putting together a stake-holder group to focus on four compo-nents for the review: customer service, off-street parking, on-street parking and operational service improvements.

“That includes improvement of pay-ment methods, internal contracted ser-vices like security in parkades, commis-sionaires, coin counting, ticket collec-tion. We want to review all of those and see if we can do better,” he said.

Downtown bakery owners, Jeneen and Richard Harrison, spend around $400 each month to keep their delivery van and another vehicle within a block of Bond Bond’s on Blanshard Street.

“Most of our employees bus or walk,” Jeneen said. “We do have one employee with a car, and we’re struggling to find him an affordable spot right now because he starts at 5 a.m.”

Monthly downtown parking stalls are readily available, but the cheaper spots – about 40 per cent of available spaces

Is parking bad in the city core? Businesses, residents weigh in

– have average wait lists of 12 months, according to Colliers.

Harrison said the city should introduce a limited number of cheaper monthly parkade passes for downtown employees, particular those who work for minimum wage.

She also urged the city to tighten its rules around municipal and police vehicles making casual use of on-street parking.

“The (Victoria Police Department) should have to pay for their space when they’re sitting and having lunch down the street, and not use commercial spaces,” she said, a practice she notices occasionally. “If they’re not conducting business, they shouldn’t have that right.”

Guy Le Monnier, manager of the Ambrosia Conference and Event Centre (638 Fisgard St.), said the city could help downtown businesses by allowing drivers to pay past the maximum 90-minute time limit with certain on-street meters.

“As long as you pay, what’s the problem? We’re trying to promote people to come downtown, so if they pay the parking, however long they stay, they shouldn’t get a ticket,” Le Monnier said.

Existing parking bylaws allow downtown businesses to pay $20 per day for temporary use of an on-street parking space for commercial use, but Le Monnier said he can’t be bothered with the application process in his day-to-day operations.

Council hopes to implement parking changes that could include partial automation of city parkades, advertising in parkades and increased rates by January 2014.

Husu said he responds to public inquiries on an ongoing basis at [email protected].

“Those comments come directly to me,” he said. “The whole key phrase is making sure people can find a parking space easily. Let’s figure out how we can do that.”

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.

not all youth like art. So it could be bookmaking or bookbinding and we have gardening. It’s about choices and feeling as much apart of a real family as we can.”

Hope House started accepting clients in March after a long hunt for a new facility, when their for-mer location was sold.

Online classified ad company UsedVictoria

(owned by Black Press, which owns the Oak Bay News) helped outfit the house with donated sports gear, TVs and a barbecue.

Manderville said they’ve taken the opportunity to revamp and expand Hope House programs to make broader connections with agencies through-out Greater Victoria and the province.

For one, it’s now connected with the South Island Distance Education school to allow the young men to continue their high school education.

A fundamental part of Hope House is establishing an individual care plan for each youth – goals they want to achieve while in the centre, and what they plan to do when they leave.

“It evolves from wanting to stay off drugs and wanting to build relationships with family mem-bers, to wanting to get back to school and back to friends, and wanting their life back,” Manderville said.

But it’s those community connections that are crucial for post-Hope House. Ensuring the youth returns to a safe home environment and to school or work is key to keeping them off the trajectory of using drugs or engaging in crime.

“Reintegrating the youth into the community is a big challenge,” Chiu said. “We can’t do everything. We have to partner with community agencies.”

Centre offers hope to addicted teenagersEdward HillNews staff

A nondescript 1970s-era home in the Uptown area of Saanich holds six simple but tidy bedrooms, gardens, offices and a long dinner table.

For young men struggling with drug or alcohol addictions in Greater Victo-ria, it’s the home away from home to regain control of their lives.

“There are very few treatment cen-tres for youth (in B.C.). You’ve got to scour the province for a place to take youth and have it not cost a fortune. This program is really needed in the Capital Region. Youth need a place to go,” said Maj. Kathie Chiu, execu-tive director of the Salvation Army’s addictions and rehabilitation centre.

Beacon of Hope House relocated from Vic West to Saanich earlier this year. Up to six young men between 13 and 18 years old can stay at the house at any given time, typically for one to three months.

“It is a very home-like atmosphere,” said Sarah Jenkinson, a counsellor at Hope House. “It’s important for youth in detox not to be institutionalized. This (facility) blends in well with the neighbourhood.”

The Vancouver Island Health Authority chips in 25 per cent of Hope House’s $550,000 annual oper-ating costs, and the Salvation Army funds the remainder for six beds, and 14 counsellors and residential staff members.

Youth can find their way to Hope

House through referrals from youth detention, probation officers and counsellors, but Chiu said all clients will leave the house with direction in their lives and a new support net-work.

“This is small, intimate and is an opportunity for young men to bond and rebuild relationships and get counselling,” she said. “For many of these young men, their family atmo-sphere is not healthy. This gives them the opportunity to live like a family. The staff become like parents, aunts and uncles.”

Turning around the lives of drug addicted youth, who are often alien-ated from family, friends and school, requires a full-court press of services and planning.

Keltie Manderville, Hope House coordinator, said it’s about giving the youth structure, tempered with flexibility. Morning involves one-on-one and group counselling, and then activities like golf, basketball, swim-ming or hikes.

Staff members are currently offer-ing clients Japanese and Spanish lessons, and the house has frequent guests to engage the kids through music, writing, poetry and art. Staff teach them life skills like cooking, resumé building or job hunting.

“We try to draw out their passions, be it through arts, music, drawing or writing. We draw out what they’re passionate about and build on that,” Manderville said.

“Art is huge in the house, although

Phil Mack dives in for a try versus the U.S.A. on Aug. 17 in Charleston, S.C. The try would have been Mack’s second of the game but it was called back for obstruction.Photo by Michelle Messing

Canada closer to World Cup Travis PatersonNews staff

Phil Mack scored a try in the opening minute as Canada went on to win the first of a two-game Rugby World Cup qualifying series with the U.S.A. by a score of 27-9 in Charleston, S.C. on Sat-urday.

It gives the Canadians an 18-point lead in the aggregate scoring of the qualifier series going into the next game, Sat-urday (Aug. 24) at BMO Field in Toronto.

“The team is happy to have the 18-point advantage on home soil and we are preparing as if it is another game,” Mack said.

Mack made a chip-kick behind the U.S.A. defence and rushed onto it at the try line to put Can-ada up 5-0 off the hop.

While his teammates congrat-

ulated him, Mack wore a serious look and hurried back to mid-field.

“I think it was a bit early in the game to celebrate. We try and have the mindset of ‘the next job,’ (whether or not it was) a good or bad play. Looking back on it now, it’s a play that I will always remember, but if you really examine the play there were a lot of players that con-tributed to it as well.”

Mack, an Oak Bay High gradu-ate and Canadian international rugby sevens specialist, started the game at scrum half and was instrumental throughout, earn-ing the coveted pro-wrestling belt as Canada’s Man of the Match.

Also scoring tries for Canada were dangerous winger DTH van der Merwe, a former teammate of Mack on the James Bay Ath-

letic Association who now plays pro for the Glasgow Warriors, and Capilano’s Harry Jones, who started at fly half.

Fullback James Pritchard kicked 12 points. All nine of U.S.A.’s points came on penalty kicks by Chris Wyles.

A win, or loss by less than 18 points, on Saturday will clinch a spot for Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.

The squad features a long list of players who’ve played locally, including former UVic Vikes for-wards Andrew Tiedemann, Ryan Hamilton and John Moonlight, and former James Bay player Aaron Carpenter, the current captain, as well as James Bay’s Sean White.

Saturday’s game in Toronto will be aired live on TSN2 at 1 p.m. and replayed at 8 p.m.

Shamrocks look to push ahead in WLA final

The Langley Thunder took a 4-1 lead in Game 2 but the Vic-toria Shamrocks stormed back with an 9-2 goal-scoring run to win 10-6 at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday night.

Game 3 of the Western Lacrosse Association best-of-seven final is tonight (Aug. 21) in Langley. The series s now tied 1-1.

Saturday started with Thun-der goalie Brodie McDonald looking strong but he was eventually pulled. Rocks goalie Matt Vinc ended up outplaying him, allowing a stingy six goals, just two in the third period.

Scoring was no easy feat. Unheralded Shamrocks defender Scott Carnegie was the only player to score multi-ple goals with two, one of them shorthanded in the second period. Jeff Shattler scored a goal and added three assists.

Vic players medal at lacrosse nationals

Victoria players joined B.C. teams at the pee wee, bantam

and midget national lacrosse championships in Whitby, Ont., from Aug. 4 to 10.

Pee wee players Angus Con-norton, Nolan Dalep and Ryan Sheridan of the Saanich Tigers helped B.C. win the third place game 8-2 over Alberta.

Bantam players Riley Con-don and Caleb Keuber of Juan de Fuca and Joseph Jackson and Jaden Touchie of Saan-ich, under head coach Tyson Leies, took silver with a 9-1 loss in the gold medal game to Ontrario.

Midget player Dylan Rehman of Juan de Fuca helped his team win bronze, defeating Alberta 8-7.

Phil Mack dives in for a try versus the U.S.A. on Aug. 17 in Charleston, S.C. The try would have been Mack’s second of the game but it was called back for obstruction.Photo by Michelle Messing

Canada closer to World Cup Travis PatersonNews staff

Phil Mack scored a try in the opening minute as Canada went on to win the first of a two-game Rugby World Cup qualifying series with the U.S.A. by a score of 27-9 in Charleston, S.C. on Sat-urday.

It gives the Canadians an 18-point lead in the aggregate scoring of the qualifier series going into the next game, Sat-urday (Aug. 24) at BMO Field in Toronto.

“The team is happy to have the 18-point advantage on home soil and we are preparing as if it is another game,” Mack said.

Mack made a chip-kick behind the U.S.A. defence and rushed onto it at the try line to put Can-ada up 5-0 off the hop.

While his teammates congrat-

ulated him, Mack wore a serious look and hurried back to mid-field.

“I think it was a bit early in the game to celebrate. We try and have the mindset of ‘the next job,’ (whether or not it was) a good or bad play. Looking back on it now, it’s a play that I will always remember, but if you really examine the play there were a lot of players that con-tributed to it as well.”

Mack, an Oak Bay High gradu-ate and Canadian international rugby sevens specialist, started the game at scrum half and was instrumental throughout, earn-ing the coveted pro-wrestling belt as Canada’s Man of the Match.

Also scoring tries for Canada were dangerous winger DTH van der Merwe, a former teammate of Mack on the James Bay Ath-

letic Association who now plays pro for the Glasgow Warriors, and Capilano’s Harry Jones, who started at fly half.

Fullback James Pritchard kicked 12 points. All nine of U.S.A.’s points came on penalty kicks by Chris Wyles.

A win, or loss by less than 18 points, on Saturday will clinch a spot for Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.

The squad features a long list of players who’ve played locally, including former UVic Vikes for-wards Andrew Tiedemann, Ryan Hamilton and John Moonlight, and former James Bay player Aaron Carpenter, the current captain, as well as James Bay’s Sean White.

Saturday’s game in Toronto will be aired live on TSN2 at 1 p.m. and replayed at 8 p.m.

Shamrocks look to push ahead in WLA final

The Langley Thunder took a 4-1 lead in Game 2 but the Vic-toria Shamrocks stormed back with an 9-2 goal-scoring run to win 10-6 at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday night.

Game 3 of the Western Lacrosse Association best-of-seven final is tonight (Aug. 21) in Langley. The series s now tied 1-1.

Saturday started with Thun-der goalie Brodie McDonald looking strong but he was eventually pulled. Rocks goalie Matt Vinc ended up outplaying him, allowing a stingy six goals, just two in the third period.

Scoring was no easy feat. Unheralded Shamrocks defender Scott Carnegie was the only player to score multi-ple goals with two, one of them shorthanded in the second period. Jeff Shattler scored a goal and added three assists.

Vic players medal at lacrosse nationals

Victoria players joined B.C. teams at the pee wee, bantam

and midget national lacrosse championships in Whitby, Ont., from Aug. 4 to 10.

Pee wee players Angus Con-norton, Nolan Dalep and Ryan Sheridan of the Saanich Tigers helped B.C. win the third place game 8-2 over Alberta.

Bantam players Riley Con-don and Caleb Keuber of Juan de Fuca and Joseph Jackson and Jaden Touchie of Saan-ich, under head coach Tyson Leies, took silver with a 9-1 loss in the gold medal game to Ontrario.

Midget player Dylan Rehman of Juan de Fuca helped his team win bronze, defeating Alberta 8-7.
