News Excerpts (Goldstream Gazette)
Back in the Day: Social housing, Sarajevo and Slug Fest (From the archives of the Goldstream Gazette)
Vol. 17. No. 30 & 31, July 22 & 29, 1992.
History repeats itself, so the saying goes.
Flipping through the archives from 30 years ago, you get a distinct sense of deja vu. Social housing was front of mind for councillors in Metchosin, who were upset about the province’s newly introduced rules requiring municipalities to add a provision for social housing in their community plans.
Then councillor (now mayor) John Ranns said he was worried the rules undermine Metchosin’s rural nature. Then MLA Moe Sihota defended the move and said he’d rather be defeated in the next election than sell out his commitment to social housing – he would remain in office until 2001.
Down the road at the Canadian Forces base, soldiers were in training and vying for a place as part of the United Nations peacekeeping force set to be sent to a conflict in an eastern European country. The soldiers were practicing various manoeuvres to prepare them for deployment to Sarajevo, which had become a key battleground as the Bosnian War broke out.
While soldiers were learning war strategies, kids in Devonian Park were learning more about slugs at the second annual Slug Fest. The theme of learning continues in the pool, where a pair of 13-year-old synchronized swimmers, Sabrina Bonafonti and Darrienne Dunn returned victorious from the BC Summer Games with gold medals around their necks, just six months after taking up the sport.
Some things were different. While words like “heat warning” are being used to describe the weather today, back then one Goldstream Gazette journalist described the weather as “sensational,” – with an average daily high of 19.6 C, according to historic Environment Canada data.
The weather is not the only thing that is hotter now than in 1992, so are housing prices. A five-bedroom house with a large backyard in Esquimalt was on the market for $188,000, while a bachelor apartment in Langford was available for rent for just $395 per month.
Soldiers were training for a peacekeeping mission in an eastern European country.
Victoria brother and sister taking on the dodgeball world
A brother-sister duo from Victoria is set to chuck balls at the world when they play for Team Canada in the World Dodgeball Championships later this month in Edmonton.
Zion and Riel Leaf both loved dodgeball during gym class at school and after they graduated, their mom signed Zion up for an adult recreation league, and then Zion, now 25, invited Riel, 21, to come along.
“I was 16 when I started, and I was playing against 30-year-old men mostly and I thought, ‘Okay, this is not high school anymore,’” Riel said.
The pair loved the sport and as more members joined, they were able to learn more and improve their skills, with both competing at provincial and national championships in recent years. Riel has also previously played for a New Zealand invitational team in the Asia Pacific Invitational in Auckland after her skills were spotted while she was travelling in the country.
“That’s another reason why we love dodgeball because no matter where you go in the world, there is going to be dodgeball somewhere,” she said.
Around March of this year they sent in videos of themselves playing as an audition tape of sorts to try and get on the national team. The two were the only players chosen to the co-ed squad from B.C.
“It happened very quickly, we submitted and then a couple of weeks later, we got the phone call and then (we’re) flying out to practices. I think because everything was thrown off by the pandemic – everyone wanted to get into it as quickly as possible,” Riel said.
The pair were scheduled to fly to Winnipeg on Thursday (Aug. 4) for one more set of workouts with the team before the tournament begins Aug. 31.
“It’s really cool because high school dodgeball is just chaos. There’s no real format or strategy, it’s just chuck balls at your friends. But this is actual competitive dodgeball, there are so many strategies and integrity and rules, it’s way more complex.”
The pair have started an online fundraiser to help cover travel costs to reach the tournament.
