The team's 21 players, along-side head coach Brian Hobson and coach Moira Hood, are aiming to be the school's first soccer team to earn a berth at provincials. "The basketball teams have done it and the volleyball teams have done it, and some of the other teams have, but we've never had a soccer team that's qualified for provincials," Hobson said. "I think the girls have a good shot at challenging some of the other teams on the Island for a berth in the provincials." While the season is relatively short (teams begin practice in the weeks leading up to spring break with league games begin- ning in April), it's been a successful one for the the team so far. The team is 4-1 on the season, with wins over Glenlyon Norfolk School, St. Margaret's and Parkland Secondary, before a close 1-0 loss to St. Michael's University. To gain more experi- ence, the AA team also competed at the annu- al University of Victo- ria Senior Girls soccer tournament, where they defeated Mount Boucherie Secondary, but lost two games against schools from the Okanagan. "They are coming from strong back- grounds. They all play at a high level with their club teams, but we start- ed the year with a team building session and that really brought us to- gether," Hobson said. "The girls figured out that they were all on the same page and they had the same idea of what they wanted to accomplish. I think they kamovich said it's the fact that they're close off the field that makes a big difference in their play on the field. "We all want to do this together," she said. Keeper and Grade 12 student Desere Sophonow agreed. "I think we all get along. We all know each other and have played before with each other. We all have experience playing soccer," she said. Now, the team has their sights set on AA Islands at St. Michael's University on May 14 and 15. They hope to finish in the top two or three and earn a provincial berth. "The future looks bright. Going forward, there's more optimism around this team and the fact that we have a pretty good window within which we can be really successful over the next couple of years," Hobson said. kendra.wong@ goldstream gazette. corn --- Anyone can join - become a member today.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the ------------------- need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss', but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help'. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can "get by" without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Dogwood is a non-profit organization within B.C. that advocates for environmental well-being. There was a crew of roughly 20 people by the Lagoon on Saturday with inflatable orcas, orca signs and petition forms for supporters to sign. There were 'We vote no Kinder Morgan' signs that lined the Lagoon side of the road to outline the perimeter of an Aframax tanker. An Aframax tanker is longer than Vancouver's tallest building at 245 metres long and 43 metres wide, and can carry 120 million litres, or 750,000 barrels of oil. Dogwood member Doug Davies became involved with the group two years ago after happening upon them at a National Energy Board hearing. Davies said he and Kathryn Cass, Dogwood team leader, brainstormed this idea a few weeks ago to come to the Lagoon and try to garner more signatures and support for the cause. "Dogwood wanted to do this to draw attention to the impact the tankers will have as they move past this very shore on a daily basis," Davies said. "We also wanted to draw attention to the Orca Rescue society too, we speak for those who can't speak for themselves." The oil would be transported from the port in Burnaby through the Haro Strait and Strait of Juan de Fuca right out to the Pacific Ocean. Davies said there really is no safe way to clean up bitumen and that the federal government doesn't really have a grasp of how they would go about cleaning an oil spill. He said the ocean protection program of $1.5 billion isn't enough to clean the water if anything happens. For roughly 200,000 kilometres of ocean, it works out to $7,500 per kilometre for water treatment. "What these oil companies won't tell you is a successful clean-up is 10 to 20 per cent, they can't clean it up," he said. "Eighty per cent of it will remain in the water, and bitumen will sink, they don't know what it does or how it reacts with the salt water, but they know it's extremely toxic." Davies pointed to the Exxon Valdez oil spill nearly 30 years ago in Prince William Sound, Alaska, where there oil can still be found by sticking a hand in the sand, he said. lindsey.horsting@goldstream gazette. corn
