Rotating strikes hit UVic Security, admin staff walk off the job

No propane cannons have gone off at the Blenkinsop Valley farm since 2010, and Hopkins credits that to the predation management plan. Cannons are used as a last-ditch effort when visual deterrents and other audible devices don’t work. But neighbours aren’t content that there’s a chance the cannons could go off again, at any time, in the event of a new flock of birds swarms onto the nearby crops. Saanich councillors Susan Brice and Nichola Wade brought forward a motion at Monday’s council meeting asking staff to look at options regarding cannons to mitigate friction between neighbours and the farm.
Picketing ramped up at the University of Victoria this week, as striking CUPE workers walked the line both Tuesday and Wednesday. On the first day of picketing, campus security workers with CUPE 917 set up strikes around the campus security building. On Wednesday, staff picketed outside multiple UVic buildings throughout the day, including the Administrative Services Building, the Saunders Annex and a continuation of the strike at the campus security building. Workers from both 917 and CUPE 951 took part. “We see it as sort of upping the ante a little bit. It’s starting to have a direct cost to the employer,” said Rob Park, president of CUPE 917. This week’s job action hit departments linked with accounting, pensions, purchasing, printing and distribution services. “We, again, are trying to move things along without impacting the students,” Park said. “We’re starting to run out of alternatives, but we’re still using the ones we’ve got.” Doug Sprenger, president of CUPE 951 told the News last week the unions don’t intend to directly impact students until Sept. 17, unless both sides return to the bargaining table.

Saanich pressured to ban bird cannons Rarely used, but propane noisemakers help save crops, says farmer Kyle Slavin News staff
When Canada geese were continually attacking blueberry crops at Beckwith Farm in 2010, the farm launched its bird predation plan – which includes a noise cannon. “The predator kites and other visual deterrents had no effect on the Canada geese,” said Wayne Hopkins, president of Beckwith Farm. “These geese were landing and eating the leaves. They killed somewhere around
12,000 plants in a matter of a few days. It all happened very quickly, so we had to employ noise devices very quickly.” One such device was a propane cannon, which, when fired, creates a 130 decibel bang to scare birds away. The birds aren’t too fond of the noise, and neighbours near the farm aren’t either. “It defies common sense to use propane cannons as a bird deterrent 200m from urban homes in long established Saanich neighbourhoods,” reads a brochure from the Concerned Neighbours of Beckwith Farm organization. “The noise generated by propane cannons firing 200m from urban homes is debilitating to a large number of residents ... causing significant impacts to health, livelihood and happiness.”

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Car break-in artist sleeping on the job A prolific property thief was picked up last week after he was found fast asleep in a car he had allegedly broken in to. Saanich police were called to Rockwell Avenue, near Craigflower Bridge, last Friday (Sept. 5) by a resident who found the man sleeping in her car. “Obviously she didn’t know the person and the person wasn’t authorized to sleep in her vehicle,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Two officers arrived and woke the man up. He was immediately recognized as a prolific thief. “He was likely feeling the after effects (of drug use) and just passed out in this woman’s vehicle while he was out committing his business through the nighttime hours,” Jantzen said. He had in his possession items that were tracked down to other vehicle break-and-enters in the area. Two rolls of refrigerator copper tubing and some sunglasses were found in the 2001 Nissan that did not belong to the vehicle owner. Brian Charles Steventon, 38, faces charges of theft and mischief to property. He was also wanted by the Regional Crime Unit for possession of stolen property related to thefts in August.
Woman robbed twice after car break-in A Saanich woman who left her purse in her car as she hiked up Mount Doug last Thursday returned to not only find her car broken in to, but her home as well. Police responded to Churchill Drive around 7:45 p.m. after the woman had returned to her car, found the driver’s side window had been smashed. Her purse, containing her identification, money and house keys, was stolen. After speaking with police about the vehicle break-in, she returned to her Derby Road home to find several electronics and another set of keys had been taken. “A lot of times we believe these thieves are watching you lock your purse up in your trunk or stuffing it under the seat,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. Police are asking anyone with information on this incident to call investigators at 250-475-4321.
Keeping Terry’s dream alive Terry Fox weekend includes movie night, waterfront charity run Brittany Lee News staff
Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope more than 30 years ago with the goal to raise one dollar from every Canadian for cancer research. Today, Fox’s dream has become part and parcel with Canada’s identity, say organizers of this year’s Terry Fox Weekend. “What Terry did in 1980 has become a part of the fabric of what makes us Canadian … it brought the country together so much that even today the impact is felt a lot,” says Darren Wark, a cousin of Fox. “By us doing these events, it’s a matter of trying to continue that (dream).” Besides Wark’s direct relation to Fox, he became involved with the Terry Fox Weekend five years ago because of his children. “I realized I want my kids to be proud of me,” he says. “That’s the main driver for me, is my kids and my family.” This year Wark is pioneering An Evening Under the Stars with Terry Fox, a movie night on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Mile Zero. A free screening of the film Terry, starring Shawn Ashmore as Fox, will play at dusk for the public to learn more about Fox and what he did before losing his battle to cancer in 1981. “We’re just trying to provide another event where people can participate, (and) enjoy this location where the Terry Fox monument is,” says Graham Lamb, the co-organizer of the Terry Fox Run with his brother Doug Lamb since 2005. “You don’t have to be a runner to participate in any of these things,” Lamb adds. Last year’s Victoria run saw more than 1,000 participants and runners, who helped collect roughly $27,000 of the total $40,000 raised. Victoria’s Terry Fox Weekend has helped raise more than $300,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in the past 11 years. Of each dollar donated, 84 cents goes directly to cancer research. editor@saanichnews.com

The B.C. Court of Appeal heard submissions last week as the District of Saanich seeks to overturn a 2011 B.C. Supreme Court decision that found a Saanich police officer “grossly negligent” in the shooting death of Majencio Camaso. In April 2011, Justice Grant Burnyeat ruled that Const. Kristopher Dukeshire’s actions on July 11, 2004 negligently resulted in the death of Camaso. “Dukeshire breached the duty of care owed to Mr. Camaso when he did not use the least amount of force necessary to carry out his duties,” Burnyeat wrote in his judgment. He also said the Saanich police investigation into the death
was negligent for a number of reasons, including the failure “to test the theory of whether Const. Dukeshire had reasonable grounds to believe it was necessary to shoot Mr. Camaso to protect himself.” Burnyeat also ordered Saanich pay $354,000 in losses and damages to the Camaso family. Saanich, on its end, entirely disputes the Supreme Court ruling, and that the officer used appropriate force for the circumstances. Saanich’s municipal solicitor Chris Nation said this week that the Court of Appeal has reserved its decision, and has given no indication to either party when a ruling will be made.
“There’s a pretty substantial volume of material in front of them, so it’s likely not to be made that quickly,” Nation said. On July 11, 2004, Camaso’s wife Teresa called 9-1-1 because her husband, who had known mental health issues, had attempted to set their apartment on fire. A foot chase involving Camaso, three attending Saanich police officers and an ambulance attendant ensued when Camaso, 33, evaded police. In a field at the former Richmond elementary school, Dukeshire fired three shots at Camaso, who was running at him brandishing one or two metal objects (possibly a pipe and crowbar). kslavin@saanichnews.com

Three identical residential break-ins on Monday, all within a couple blocks of each other, have Saanich police seeking information to track down a suspect. A resident in the 900-block of Portage Rd. reported first incident at 12:55 p.m. The front door was kicked in, and electronics and sports jerseys were taken from the home. The second incident occurred at 2:15 p.m. in the 3700-block of Grange Rd. A resident in the home heard a knock at the door,
which was then kicked in by an unknown male. He fled. Police returned to the same Grange Road block at 8:30 p.m. after a homeowner returned to find they had been broken into. It’s likely someone shouldered or kicked the front door open. “This serves as a reminder to check your locking mechanisms for your doors,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “This is your primary defence against these types of attacks. Ensure that your doors are solid and that you have good quality deadbolts, not just lock-

He was wearing a blue shirt, blue, shiny track pants, and a blue bandana. He was carrying a black and yellow duffle bag.

ALS walk helps Saanich family heal Annual fundraising event supports ALS patients in region Brittany Lee News staff
For Shanna Juszko, the hardest part about losing her mother is not being able to hear her voice. “I used to talk to her three times a day,” Juszko says. Juszko’s mother, Dianna Goffin, passed away from amyotrohpic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, in July, after a short, seven-month battle with the disease. “For me, it’s (remembering her) every day. I wake up in the morning and think, ‘Oh, I haven’t talked to mum in awhile, I should call her.’ “Then I realize…,” she says, her voice softening as her eyes grow damp. ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s, is a fatal neuromuscular disease. It attacks the body’s nerves, used to send messages from the brain to the muscles. Eventually, those diagnosed with ALS lose all mobility, including the ability to speak, swallow and breathe. However, the brain often remains healthy and alert. The average life expectancy for people diagnosed with ALS is three to five years. Born in Comox, Dianna spent most of her life in Campbell River and lived in Courtenay for the past six years. The active 64-year-old loved hockey, golfing and knitting. But most of all, she loved her family. “She just loved life, and travelling, and spending time with family and friends,” her daughter says. After retiring, Dianna spent the next 11 years travelling throughout B.C., the Yukon, Alberta, and the western United States with her husband, Bob Goffin. The couple of almost 45 years spent winters down south. But this past winter, their trip was cut short. After leaving their Courtney home last October, Dianna knew something was wrong. “Her muscles were twitching and she just generally didn’t feel all that great,” Juszko recalls. By the end of November, the Goffins returned to Saanich, convinced by their daughter to stay with her.

Bob Goffin, left, Kevin Juszko, 8, Shanna Juszko, Murray Juszko and Megan Juszko, 10, stand outside of their Saanich home in the team shirts they will be wearing during Sunday’s (Sept. 16) Walk for ALS. The family recently lost Dianna Goffin to the disease, and has gathered a group of almost 30 family members and friends to participate in the walk. Dianna was diagnosed with ALS on Dec. 5, 2011. “She was angry,” Justzko says. “She was really angry. And for the first little while (asked), ‘Why me? Why did this happen to me?’” In January, her health took a downturn. During a family outing, Dianna experienced a foot drop, a common sign of ALS where the muscles in the foot become too weak to lift the leg. She learned let go of the anger, and Dianna started enjoying the time she had left with her family. The Goffins even hosted a family barbecue, with about 25 guests, at their home the night before Dianna passed. “We didn’t realize it was going to be that fast,” Juszko says. “She actually came outside and sat with everybody for the barbecue.”
That next day, on July 10, Dianna’s breathing got worse. And within 45 minutes she passed away with her family by her side. “She decided she wanted to go gracefully, with as much dignity as possible. She fought it right till the end.” Juszko, her father, and almost 30 family and friends will participate in the VictoGrim facts of ALS About 3,000 Canadians currently live with ALS and each day, two to three Canadians die from the disease. There is no known cause of ALS, nor is there a cure. Ninety per cent of those diagnosed with ALS die within five years.
ria Walk for ALS on Sunday, in memory of Dianna. It’s their first year walking to help raise funds for the ALS Society of B.C. – which goes towards equipment and support for families affected by ALS, as well as research to find a cure. Besides supporting the Goffin family, the society also provided Dianna with muchneeded equipment and care, which costs an average $137,000 per patient. The Victoria Walk for ALS takes place Sept. 16, 12:30 p.m. in Lot 6 at the University of Victoria. The walk around Ring Road starts at 1 p.m. Last year’s event raised $28,000. This year, organizers aim to raise $35,000. To register for this year’s walk, see walkforals.ca. For more information, email victoriawalk@alsbc.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Thawing permafrost to accelerate global warming, says UVic study Natalie North News staff
The vast Arctic “compost� is thawing, dumping billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which has been unaccounted for in global climate models, University of Victoria graduate students Andrew MacDougall and Chris Avis, along with noted climate scientist Andrew Weaver, made this claim in a study published this week by Nature Geoscience Letters. The team used UVic’s coupled global climate model, a system originally derived from weather forecasting, to conclude that melting permafrost – frozen soil, sediment or rock – could release between 68 and 508 billion additional tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere over the next 90 years, raising global temperatures by an average of 0.4 to 0.8C on top of what has been previously estimated. “It’s basically frozen compost,� MacDougall said. “It’s grasses and manure and bits of animals that have gotten frozen into the permafrost over thousands of years, so you have this

University of Victoria climate researcher Andrew MacDougall conducts fieldwork in Kluane National Park, in the Yukon in 2009. A paper he co-authored suggests melting permafrost could dump a lot more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. frozen material that can’t decay, then you melt the permafrost suddenly. “Just as if you unfroze compost in your garden, it would start to rot, but it does so very slowly over the course of a hundred years.�
About 18.8 million square kilometres of northern tundra holds about 1,700 billion tonnes of organic carbon, or about four times more than all the carbon emitted by human activity in modern times, and twice as much than is currently in the atmosphere. Given that global temperatures have already risen by about 0.8C since the Industrial Revolution, limiting global warming to less than 2C – the goal identified in the 2009 Copenhagen Accord – doesn’t leave much room for future emissions, MacDougall said. “What we’ve been trying to do more lately is trying to find emissions pathways that allow you to stay below two degrees. This makes that a lot harder. ‌ Not impossible, but difficult.â€? To stay below the 2C threshold, humans will have to make “very large and immediate reductions in emissions,â€? he noted. “Business as usualâ€? scenarios, MacDougall said, usually account for a three-to-four degree rise in temperatures by 2100. The new model would drive temperatures up an additional 10 per cent and more after the 21st century.
UVic says it’s eager to return to bargaining Continued from Page A1
While that deadline is nearing, Bruce Kilpatrick, director of communications for UVic, says discussions are underway to get back to business. “The doors have always been open. We want to get back to
the table, we went to be talking about the issues because that's the only way we're going to get a settlement,� Kilpatrick said. “We're both ready to return (to the bargaining table). Now we're just working out the details of what days and the particulars we'll be discussing.�
The two unions represent 1,500 non-teaching jobs such as tradespeople, food service staff, childcare workers, and office and library staff, and have both been without contracts since March 31, 2010. At issue for the unions is job security and inflation protection.

“The two of us feel we’re very supportive of agriculture in Saanich, however it is an inappropriate mechanism to use propane cannons in such a proximate distance to residential developments,� Wade said. The two councillors mentioned ongoing frustrations dealing with the provincial gov-
anticipates the municipality won’t be able to get far with the province. “The fact is (propane cannons are) a last report, and unless Saanich or whoever has a better alternative as a last resort, I think they’re here to stay,� Hopkins said.

Staying calm and clear Ambulance dispatchers help people survive the worst moments of life Natalie North News staff
The first call I answered was a little too easy. A 79-year-old woman in the 3000-block of Douglas St. had a stomach ache. I typed in the Saanich address into the empty field on the monitor in front of me and asked the caller a series of questions about her illness. ProQA, the program used by emergency medical dispatchers for the B.C. Ambulance Service, confirmed the minor sickness, categorized the call as low-priority and an ambulance was sent out to the familiar locale – or at least it would have, had I answered an actual call. Instead, I was responding to Bill Hadden, the emergency medical dispatcher leading me through a media training session in the ambulance service’s Saanich training facility. Despite the low stakes, the pressure was on when Hadden took on his second role of my faux training session – a condensed 10-minute overview of a threeweek-long training course. From the seat behind me, Hadden transformed into a caller from a street address I’d never heard of and had no idea how to spell. Finally I asked the caller and he told me it’s in Boston Bar – a tiny community I admit I had to Google later to locate. The caller’s 78-year-old
father had collapsed and wasn’t breathing. After what felt like 20 minutes of scripted questions, I arrived at ProQA’s suggestion: cardiac arrest. The process would take a trained dispatcher about 90 seconds to complete, Hadden said. But even with the quickest dispatcher the arrival of an ambulance takes time. In July when Nicholas Woodiwiss’s heart stopped while riding his bicycle in Royal Oak, four bystanders performed life-saving cardiopulmonary respiration. The incident earned bystanders a Vital Link award for the action they took in the time before paramedics arrived and exemplified the zero-minute response time the service strives to achieve. “You need to be reassuring,� Hadden said. “You, yourself need to be calm, confident and clear. You need to direct people even when they’re not confident or losing hope.� Meanwhile, a counter tool had popped up on the monitor. Like a metronome, it set the pace for compressions. I told the caller I’d count out loud while they performed chest compressions. Leading a caller through CPR isn’t a situation Hadden deals with every day, necessarily, but after four years on the job, and thousands of phone calls, it’s one he’s used to managing. Part of that management involves asking questions exactly as they appear in ProQA – without changing a single word and risking a change from the original meaning – while counselling individuals through extremely traumatic events. “You’ve gotta know when to rein
them back in. Most people submit to requests,� he said. “You have to know what type of person you’re dealing with. Everyone’s subtly different.� West Shore RCMP dispatcher Chelsea Chang was commended for keeping a five-year-old girl on the phone after the girl’s mother suffered from an epileptic seizure and lay unconscious outside her Langford home on Aug. 15. Though Chang’s ability to remain calm and communicate with the young caller involved the same kind of care required of a B.C. Ambulance Service dispatcher, Hadden pointed to one of the major differences between ambulance dispatchers and those with other emergency services: the volume of calls. Last year, B.C. Ambulance Service responded to 486,000 events across the province, or an average of 56 events per hour from three centres. The service currently employs 3,668 paramedics and dispatchers provincewide, and they’re looking for more. By welcoming media into their training room, the service is also hoping to attract new members for dispatcher training this month – if they’ve got the right stuff. “(Dispatchers need) the ability to remain calm in very stressful situations and to remain calm with all of the stimulation going on around you,� said Corinne Begg, a provincial dispatch training officer. “We’re looking for someone who’s able to have a lot going on at the same time.� nnorth@saanichnews.com -With files from Kyle Wells

UVic scientists to help monitor Arctic sea ice Edward Hill

Housekeeping for Homeowners.
News staff
The extent of Arctic sea ice is hitting record lows, making now as good a time as any to add more gear to monitor the ocean environment in the far North. The University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada consortium plans to install a underwater sea floor observatory in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, this month. The technology is similar to the group’s Neptune and Venus underwater observatories off the east and west coasts of Vancouver Island, although it will be much smaller. The Cambridge Bay observatory will hold devices measuring water salinity, temperature, pressure a high-resolution camera, and a critical acoustic device that detects the thickness of ice. An onshore weather station will be linked to the system. This collection of devices will be housed on a frame at the bottom of the bay at Cambridge Bay, linked to the shore via a fibre optic cable armoured for cold temperatures. Ideally, and similar to the Neptune and Venus networks, this mini-observatory will stream live data to the world through the Internet, if the installation team can plug into an Internet connection. “It’s a challenge,” admits Kate Moran, director of Ocean Networks Canada. “There’s not great communications there. We are working with the Nunavut government to hook into their Internet system.” Cambridge Bay is slated as the home of the Canadian High Arctic Research Station,
CRD awards kitchen scraps contracts The Capital Regional District awarded two contracts to create a phased-in kitchen scraps removal program. Super Save Disposal Inc. will haul the scraps, while Vantreight Farms will be responsible for receiving and processing. The total cost is approximately $141,500 in 2013 and $498,900 in 2014, reflecting the expansion of the program. While Saanichtonbased Vantreight Farms does not own or operate an in-vessel processing facility for kitchen scraps, it has promised to be operational by Feb. 1, 2013.

UVic scientists are installing an equipment probe similar to this one off Brentwood Bay in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, to help monitor the decline of sea ice. announced by the federal government in 2007, but the project is yet to break ground. Installing the mini-observatory will introduce residents to the kind of science involved in the Arctic, and will allow a number to become trained in installation maintenance of the devices. “There’s been announcements about the Canadian High Arctic Research Station, but nothing is in place. This will help the community learn about (this technology) and allow us to test how to handle remote data,” Moran said. “It’s a small system, but there’s a lot of support from all levels of the federal government.” The observatory will contribute data and better understanding of changes in sea ice and the Arctic marine environment. Moran, an expert in Arctic environments, said the permanent loss of sea ice could have pro-
found impacts on global weather systems, such as shifting stable pockets of cold air from the Arctic to more southern latitudes. “We need more measurements in the Arctic for better predictions of weather patterns and long-term loss of sea ice,” she said. “The significance of having continuous monitoring of the Arctic Ocean cannot be overstated.” The UVic observatory will feed data to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre, which closely monitors Arctic sea ice levels. The project also aims to connect the school in Cambridge Bay with Brentwood College in Brentwood Bay, which also hosts a UVic ocean observatory. “It’s a neat educational tool students in both environments can talk about what they are learning,” Moran said. editor@saanichnews.com

Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs. Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe. t Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up. t Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced. t Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation. Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.

t Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets. Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage. t Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation. Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why.

OUR VIEW
Walking on thin ice T
he Canadian government has routinely been criticized for not being aggressive enough in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Now a University of Victoria report shows Arctic permafrost is thawing and billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, previously unaccounted for, is being released into the atmosphere, helping raise global temperatures. This news comes on the heels of a report from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre which found that the Arctic sea ice cover melted to its lowest since 1979 last month. What these two things have in common is that they are both caused by global warming – along with natural weather patterns – and both increase global warming. The warming trend in turn creates strange and devastating weather patterns including tornadoes in Brooklyn, droughts in Texas and flooding everywhere from Pakistan to Montreal. These severe weather events cause billions of dollars in damage, not to mention hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. In 2011, the cost of weather disasters worldwide was an estimated $150 billion. Scientists are now reporting that severe weather events that usually occur every 50 to 100 years are appearing in shorter cycles. Our warmer atmosphere creates heat waves, more water evaporation from the oceans adds up to heavier rainfall, rising winds occur and atmospheric chaos ensues. These dramatic weather events are another indication that global warming is real and all levels of government need to take it seriously. The federal Liberal government that agreed to the Kyoto Protocol to restrict greenhouse gas emissions, lacked the enthusiasm to meet its targets. Since the Conservative takeover, the level of apathy has risen to new heights. The Harper government decided it would never meet the targets so why try? Perhaps the steady erosion of Canada’s Arctic is reason enough. As the ice and permafrost melt, and the water rises, Canada will no longer have to worry about Arctic sovereignty as there will be no Arctic land mass left to protect.
Canada’s Arctic sovereignty may be threatened

Let’s not forget Conrad Black and his inflated ego and wallet. For us, who pay their wages, the anger doesn’t come because we want to get all those goodies for ourselves, but it’s the incredible sense of entitlement from these stuffed shirts (male and female). What makes people angry is that our taxes keep going up and our quality of life keeps going down, not even keeping up with the rate of inflation. Those who milk the system should be exposed and no public entity should hire them if they are caught with their hands in the public purse. But they do go on and land new jobs and double dip if they can. Their sense of entitlement remains. They have lost touch with what it is like for the average working stiff. They are above it all. This is exactly why countries like Greece, Italy and Spain are faltering and failing economically. Their civil service is bloated and it is exploding. Civil servants there believe they have a right to a job for life once they get into the employ of the government. The scary thing is it could easily happen here. –Pirjo Raits is the editor of the Sooke News Mirror. editor@sookenewsmirror.com

LETTERS After 44 years here, deer are the intruders Please, whoever is in a position to do it – please relieve us of the four-legged pests that are causing so much pain to the region’s gardeners and farmers. When we moved into our Saanich home 44 years ago, we were in a semi-rural area with horse pastures and greenhouses all around. There were no deer. We prepared an area for a vegetable garden and were successful in raising delicious produce. For nearly forty years we were free of deer. One morning this week there were four of them in our yard, munching on the new growth on the raspberry canes. And note that our neighbourhood is no longer rural. To those who would argue that the deer were here first I boldly proclaim that they were not here for the first 40 years of our residency. They are intruders. Please, do something to get rid of them.

Columnist wades deep into manure Re: Separating oil from manure (B.C. Views, Sept. 5) Thanks Tom Fletcher for another well-researched column about oil and manure. Surely, the merits of the refinery talk have advanced the debate over the Enbridge pipeline. In one simple way, the debate continues to advance deeper into the manure. Your global studies from nearly a decade ago, Andrew Weaver’s omniscient greenhouse gas theory regarding coal versus oil, and your CERA report on where fossil fuel emissions come from all fail to address the one truth that you mistakenly added to your article: “It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting, it’s you and me.” Indeed, you and I are doing the polluting. The serious debaters here know this and that is the main point of contention. Since all of us seem unable to curtail our wasteful and stupendous exploitation of archaic energy sources then why continue to facilitate them? We dictate regulatory controls over “hard” drug use and many other social ills, and now some of us are wanting to put ourselves in rehab. It seems promoters such as yourself want to literally pipeline this product to new, larger and currently less-
addicted part of the globe. I have little doubt that you will succeed; I have a lot of hope that you won’t. Ryan Gisler Victoria
Privatization should lower liquor costs Re: Rationale still unclear for liquor privatization (Letters, Sept. 7) While working as a consultant on an engagement with the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch in 1991, I had discussions about privatization with the BCLDB’s executive director. I was commissioned to investigate ways for the BCLDB to become more efficient in their role in the supply chain from importation to delivery of liquor to bars and retail outlets in the province. What became apparent immediately was that the government-run facility was adding little to no value while operating less efficiently and at a higher cost than private companies that specialize in warehousing and distribution. The hefty income that liquor sales provides to B.C. coffers, referred to by letter-writer Pat McGuire, comes from taxation, and it would continue to be payable to the province after privatization. The operational savings from lower warehousing and distribution costs after privatization would, in theory, be passed on to consumers. I was advised at the time that the idea of privatization was a non-starter due to the complications of dealing with a unionized workforce. If the government has finally found the political will to privatize liquor distribution while retaining its role as policy setter and tax collector, then we should expect improved service levels and lower costs from a supply chain managed by professionals. Robert Waters Victoria
Political raises should have more oversight To quote Premier Christy Clark: “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The sanctimonious tone of the Premier’s statement is mind-boggling. If she is so concerned about going back to taxpayers for a pay raise for government workers, why doesn’t she express those same sentiments when the politicians vote themselves a substantial wage

They should be ashamed that they continue to vote themselves raises, regardless of tough economic times, while denying others. But, unfortunately, I don’t think they are capable of feeling shame.

Music prodigies vie for prized instruments News staff
Two Saanich brothers are competing for a musical multi-million dollar opportunity. Classical musicians Timothy and Nikki Chooi bring a decidedly Island flavour to the Canada Council’s 2012 Musical Instrument Bank competition in Toronto, an audition for the right to borrow from a collection of 18 instruments worth a combined $28 million. “They are prized around the world,”
musicians vying for the 18 instruments, doled out once every three years since 1985. The Choois, however, have experience that others may not have – older brother Nikki has won before. “It was a dream come true … (the violin was) built before Mozart was born. It is astounding,” 23-year-old Nikki said of winning time with the 1729 Guarnari Del Gesu violin. “There are many violinists who dream of playing one all their lives, I am fortunate to get to play on it when I was 20.” Hoisting the hand-made Italian violin valued at more than $4 million to his chin was an inspiring experience, he says. The combination of age and the wood maturing make the sound unique and responsive in a way that can’t be compared with a younger bow. As such he

said 18-year-old Timothy. “It would mean the whole world to me, I would love to use their instruments.” Timothy, who attended St. Andrews high school, has played violin since he was three years old. Both brothers now attend Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, and both dream of landing the chance to use one of 13 centuries-old violins from the MIB, which also boasts five cellos and a violin bow. Instruments range in value from $150,000 to $7.5 million. “It is not only their value, it is like a fine wine, the older the wood has become and the more it has been played it has a unique sound it gives off,” Timothy said. “It is very noticeable, you hear it right away.” The brothers have practiced diligently for the opportunity afforded to the 30

dreads returning the instrument, despite having mentally prepared himself since becoming the first Victorian to win the competition in 2009. “It will be a difficult parting” said Nikki, who started violin studies at age 4, and who will attend the Juilliard School of Music in the fall. “I have prepared for it for a few months now, but nevertheless it will be hard.” For now, the Victoria Symphony veteran still practises and plays one of the most expensive violins in the world as he endeavours to reclaim the instrument that changed his life. “It doesn’t make me a better player per se, but the (violin) I use makes me able to explore techniques even further,” Nikki said. “It would mean so much. Nobody is entitled to play on (such) great works of art. To have the opportunity is a true blessing.” The Chooi brothers will be competing at the MIB on Sept. 18 in Toronto.

A classified ad offering a baby, “free to a good home,” has Victoria police officers attempting to find the would-be seller to ensure no children are at risk. The investigation began around 10:30 a.m. Monday after police were made aware of an ad posted on UsedVictoria.com, offering the baby for free with a photo of a young infant attached. “Obviously this is disconcerting,” said Const. Mike Russell. “The first part of me thinks, ‘It must be a hoax.’ Then you have a sober second thought, ‘You know what? Whether it’s a hoax or not, this needs to be investigated because we need to ensure there’s no kids at risk here.’” Russell said investigators were still trying to track down where the posting came from, but said, “It’s probably not from our jurisdiction; not on the Island.” Erin Richards, marketing co-ordinator for UsedVictoria, a Black Press-owned website, said they are co-operating with police. “First and foremost, our concern is the welfare of the child and what is in their best interest and that is why we removed the ad immediately after it was posted,” she said. “We have given information to the Victoria Police Department, who are now investigating.” While Russell said the posting is “probably” a hoax, the fact that there’s no definitive proof of that means a child could be in danger. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Museum unveils new exhibits Daniel Palmer News staff
Upcoming exhibitions
Royal B.C. Museum is going back to its roots in the coming year, aiming to connect British Columbians with their place on the world stage and reinvigorate the cultural hub. The museum unveiled its upcoming exhibitions on Wednesday, an eclectic program that will reveal some of the world’s oldest maps, a journey alongside early Antarctic explorers and striking wildlife photographs from across the globe. “We’re really trying to present something at every moment in the year, even three and four exhibits at one time,” said Tim Willis, director of exhibitions. “Our own story is important, but also our connection to the great world stories,” he said. The new season of exhibitions opens Oct. 4 with a rare collection of printed maps, including the world’s oldest road map from the 15th century. Jack Lohman, the museum’s CEO, has a passionate interest in breathing life back into the many forgotten collections in the B.C. Archives. He will be meeting with Library and Archives Canada later this year, urging them to get more documents and artifacts on the UNESCO world heritage list, including several treaties between Sir James Douglas and First Nations that currently sit in the museum’s archives. “Canada only has three (UNESCO world heritage documents),” he said. “As the second-largest country in the world, what does that say to the world?” Lohman hopes the renewed focus on B.C. will create a modern museum. “I think that will be the significance, the focus on collections and archives,” he said. “These won’t be a Titanic exhibit.” The museum will also begin offering admission at 50 per cent off on weekday afternoons starting in in mid-October, Lohman added. The goal is to attract “everybody” to the museum, regardless of interest or age, Willis said. “Our program for the year ahead is nothing if not eclectic,” he said.

New Victoria centre aims to make justice accessible Kyle Slavin News staff
Individuals and families needing assistance with legal matters will soon have a one-stop-shop to access the justice system in Victoria. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced a $1.5 million investment to create a Justice Access Centre within the Victoria Law
Courts, where people attempting to navigate the justice system have access to a multitude of support, knowledge and information. “When you’re trying to sort out how to deal with matters like child custody issues, or divorce, property issue, or debt, it can be an emotional and pretty stressful period of time,” Bond said. She said one of the goals of the new cen-

tre is “finding ways to resolve problems that don’t necessarily require litigation. That’s a lot better for families.” Among the agencies offering services at the province’s two existing centres are Access Pro Bono, Credit Counselling Society, Legal Services Society and Mediate B.C. Unique to the Victoria centre, set to open in fall 2013, is a partnership with the University of Victoria, as its law centre will be co-
located on the site, at 850 Burdett Ave. “The creation of Victoria’s new Justice Access Centre, and its co-location here with our law centre will improve access to justice,” said Donna Greschner, dean of UVic’s faculty of law. Two Justice Access Centres operate in Nanaimo and Vancouver. For more information on the centres, visit ag.gov.bc.ca/justice-access-centre.

Victoria’s secrets up for discovery Free walking tours offered on Sunday Victoria’s secrets will be revealed this Sunday. Secrets of the City walking tours are being offered free of charge by the Downtown Victoria Business Association to celebrate the city’s 150th anniversary.

Local historical experts John Adams and Danda Humphreys will host 20-to-40-person tours through Heritage Mile, Chinatown and other neighbourhoods. In addition to the walking tours, nine historic properties will also open their doors to the public from noon to 4 p.m. Locations such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall, Victoria masonic temple, Tam Kung Taoist Temple, the city hall clock tower and Synagogue Emanu El are included in the tour.

Bomb squad called in for odd package left on bus Manager A tape-wrapped package deemed suspicious and found aboard a B.C. Transit bus near the Legislature Monday afternoon was no more than a poorly wrapped present. Victoria police cordoned off a oneblock radius of Government Street and Superior Street after a suspi-
cious package was located on a B.C. Transit bus around 4:45 p.m. Monday. There were no passengers on board at the time. The surrounding area was quickly evacuated, leading to speculation about the seriousness of the threat. VicPD requested assistance from
the RCMP Explosive Disposal Unit, who arrived just after 11 p.m. and conducted an x-ray of the package. Once police were able to determine the package was not a threat, it was cut open and proved to be no more than a beer box with a t-shirt and "non-threatening note" inside.
"The package does not appear to have been left to cause a concern and charges are not likely," VicPD Const. Mike Russell said in a statement, who also thanked the public for being understanding of the situation. editor@vicnews.com

The City of Victoria has hired a new face to oversee the $92.8million Johnson Street Bridge replacement project. Ken Jarvela, an engineer with bridge construction experience, will assume the role of project manager, a position made vacant when Mike Lai resigned in July to rejoin the District of Saanich as manager of transportation. “This is an important and exciting transportation project,” Jarvela said in a statement. “I am looking forward to joining the project team and to be a part of building a new bridge for Victoria.” Jarvela most recently oversaw construction of the $160million Blue Water Bridge, which spans the St. Clair river between Point Edward, Ont., and Port Huron, Mich. Victoria’s manager of operations, Peter Sparanese, and director of engineering, Dwayne Kalynchuk, had stepped in temporarily to fill the project manager role while a candidate was sought. The city has extended its request for proposal stage until Oct. 18, when it will award the construction contract to one of three interested bidders: PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc., Peter Kiewit Infrastructure Co. (Kiewit) and WCC Construction Canada, ULC (Walsh). dpalmer@vicnews.com

the
B.C.’s top researchers invite parents to join in the discussion Q NATALIE NORTH, NEWS STAFF
People are complex. Life is messy sometimes. And there’s no single answer for everyone. These simple messages repeat throughout Cannabis Use and Youth: a Parents' Guide – a resource created to add a balanced voice in the discussion of a favoured West Coast pastime to many. Is cannabis addictive? Can it trigger psychosis? Is it stronger now than it was 20 years ago? What are the dangers to young people who choose to light up? At a time when half of all people over the age of 15 have used cannabis and conÆicting information on its effects abounds,
the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. (CARBC) in partnership with the FORCE Society for Kids’ Mental Health and the Canadian Mental Health Association, published a 16-page guide unlike any other Englishlanguage resource on the drug. From a run-down of unfounded common claims versus actual research-based beliefs on the effects of cannabis, to the beneÅts of using a vaporizer, the guide adds an as-yet unheard realist voice to the conversation. “A lot of parents have questions about cannabis because a lot of parents are confused,” said Dan Reist, assistant director

at CARBC. “On the one hand, ‘cannabis causes schizophrenia’ and the scare approach, compared to the other side that says cannabis is the most wonderful herb known to man. Where was the truth?” Some parents who contributed to creating the guide through involvement with the FORCE were open about the dilemma of actually buying cannabis for their children, to avoid their kids purchasing the controlled substance from criminals. “They wrestle with those issues and nobody talks to them,” Reist said. “Being able to come in and say: ‘It's not a perfect world, but these are the issues you've got to

be able to consider.’ (Parents) found it incredibly re relieving. We’re not saying to them what they should do; we’re simply saying, here are some tips if they choose to go down that road.” One of the concerns from parents has been around individual studies linking cannabis use and psychosis, which are plenty, but inconclusive nonetheless. “There is some evidence to suggest an association; the nature of that association hasn't

Is cannabis in some way contributing along with a bunch of other things to the emergence of schizophrenia or other psychotic symptoms, or is it that individuals who experience psychotic symptoms gravitate to cannabis?

Q&A
Shannon Sarasin is a Naturopathic Doctor at Cook Street Village Health Centre where she focuses her practice on women’s health and pediatrics. She is the mother of two incredible kids, seven-year-old Nevé and two-year-old Matéo and is passionate about herbal medicine, environmental concerns, farmers’ markets, and is having fun getting her hands in the dirt as a novice gardener.
Q A
How do you find time for yourself in addition to your role as a mother? I will be the first to admit that it is not always easy to find time for myself. I try to balance my time between running my practice, spending quality time with family (and friends!), and keeping our family healthy through nourishing food and a healthy lifestyle. At times this feels like a delicate balancing act! I cherish quiet evenings when my mind can unwind, and our monthly social gatherings with my “mama’s group.” Now that the kids are getting a little older I hope to pursue a creative hobby such as modern dance.
Q A
What are you reading right now? What do you read with (your son/ daughter/kids)? The book by my bedside is “The Book of Negroes” which has a strong and inspiring character and a heartbreaking story that is slowly unfolding. My kids read French books with their Papa, and
Q A

Luxton fall fair offers farming history Charla Huber News staff
With summer coming to an end it’s time to welcome back the Luxton Fall Fair. The fair offers the chance to spend the weekend back in time appreciating steam tractors and blacksmiths pounding red-hot metal. For fair volunteer Julian Rapps, it’s the chainsaw carvers that get him excited, so much so that he has a four-foot tall carved owl in his home. “They carve them out of huge pieces of cedar logs,” Rapps said. The carvings created on the fairgrounds are raffled off during the fair. The fair also boasts plenty of displays, from cow milking to prize chicken and rabbits. The smell of baking bread and cinnamon buns will lead people to the clay oven. “It’s quite a process,” said fairgrounds volunteer Ian McKenzie. “They light a fire that burns until it’s out, then they scrape all the ashes out and use the oven’s heat to bake.” McKenzie will also have a display set up showing the wooden buckets he makes. For the thrill-seekers, the fair highlight may be a hands-on motocross demonstration. There are separate tracks for children and adults to rip around on.
Luxton fairground volunteers Ian McKenzie and Julian Rapps get ready for the Luxton Fall Fair by prepping the popular SawyerMassey steam tractor, which turns 100 years old this year. Charla Huber/News staff
As always the midway will be out in full swing for fair-goers of all ages. “When I was young and foolish I used to go on rides,” said McKenzie, adding the zero-gravity drop ride is new this year. The Langford archive will be open with an interpreter explain-

Latin film week shows unique perspective UVic-led event showcases best in Latin American and Spanish cinema Kyle Wells News staff
Cinecenta is going south of the border for the Third Latin American and Spanish Film Week, from Sept. 18 to 23. The event is organized by the department of Hispanic and Italian studies at the University of Victoria and showcases some of the best in Latin American cinema. “The idea essentially is to showcase different cultures and societies of Latin America and Spain,” UVic professor Dan Russek said. “All these countries have thriving cultures. … So we’re interested in bringing these movies to Victoria that otherwise might not reach the community.” Every night of the event features a film from a different country. O Palhaço (The Clown) is a 2011 film from Brazilian director Selton Mello, who also stars in the film. Described as a lighthearted and
nostalgic tale, the film follows a father/son travelling clown act. The son, Benjamin, begins to question if he is funny and sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Gatos viejos (Old Cats) is a 2010 Chilean film by directors Sebastián Silva and Pedro Peirano. The dramatic film explores family relations, the generation gap and misplaced expectations through its story of an aging couple living in simplicity when their daughter and her lesbian lover come to visit with a get-rich scheme. On the Thursday night is Trisha Ziff’s La Maleta Mexicana (The Mexican Suitcase), a documentary about the recovery in 2007 of 4,500 photograph negatives taken during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Stephanie Boyd’s Operación Diablo (The Devil Operation) is screening on the Friday night. This documentary focuses on Father Marco Arana, a priest in Peru who spent two decades defending mountain farmers from a U.S.-owned gold mine. Proceeds from this screening will go to Mosqoy, a Canadian charity, founded by a former UVic student, promoting social justice

Juan de los muertos (Juan of the Dead) is a Cuban zombie movie with a political twist. The film is being screened at Cinecenta as part of the Third Latin American and Spanish Film Week. and cultural rights in the Peruvian Andes. Cuban film Juan de los Muertos (Juan of the Dead) is director Alejandro Brugués’ comedic, actionpacked take on the zombie genre, with a political twist. Citizens are
violently attacking one another in Cuba. The government says dissidents paid by the U.S. government are to blame, but Juan, a 40-yearold Havana man, sets out to find the truth. The week finishes off with the
Sunday night screening of Un Cuento Chino (A Chinese Tale) by Argentinian director Sebastián Borensztein. Starring Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes), this film centres on a hardware store owner who helps a young man from China search for his uncle. It can be hard to describe, but Russek said that Latin American movies have a certain flavour to them that distinguishes them from other international cinema. “Some bittersweetness about life, I would say,” Russek said. “Life can be hard in Latin America. The social problems, the drug trafficking, inequality. … And that … sinks into their work without being didactic or pedagogical.” Even the comedies typically have something to say about social issues or the Latin American experience, Russek said. “They’re not shallow comedies. … There’s some bite, some darkness.” Show times for all films are 7 and 9 p.m. All screenings are at Cinecenta (3800 Finnerty Rd.). All films will be screened with English subtitles. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Show and Shine, dance to light up winter event Daniel Palmer News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Esquimalt Coun. Meagan Brame and Virtual Elvis, a.k.a. Scott MacDonald, pose with a 1950 Ford Woody to help promote the car show and dance at Esquimalt’s Archie Browning Centre. The events happen Sept. 15.
i Ã> `Ã ÕÌÌiÀ°V
Winter break is likely the last thing on the minds of families right now, as they juggle the last-minute shopping runs for backto-school supplies and sort out extracurricular activities. But Esquimalt’s Celebration of Lights organizers are hoping an end-of-summer car show and dance will light the way to a successful December event this year. “Not only are we bringing an extra event to Esquimalt, we also are fundraising for the annual event that we’ve always had,” said Coun. Meagan Brame. Fellow organizer Murray Boyce hopes all Capital Region classic car owners will roll out for one last
summer event, at the Archie Browning Sports Centre on Saturday, Sept. 15 at noon. “They want to see everybody that has an interest in the motor sports hobby, from vintage cars to hot rods, motor bikes, classics and wooden boats. Any motorized vehicle,” said car enthusiast Bob Painton. He plans to show several of his vintage rides at the event, including a 1950 Ford Woody. “I can’t help myself,” Painton said, standing in the garage of his childhood home on Tillicum Road, where many of the lovingly restored vehicles are kept. “It’s a passion.” The car show is free and car owners can display their rides for free, while tickets to the 8 p.m. dance
are $10. Brame has been amazed by the number of local classic car enthusiasts in the area since getting involved with the event. “There’s guys in Esquimalt who have had these old cars for 50 years, like the Ferris brothers and Kendal brothers,” Painton said, adding he hopes to see them at the curling rink. The dance will be hosted by Scott MacDonald, otherwise known as Virtual Elvis, and his wife Nathalie Karine, singing classics from the 1940s and beyond. Organizers will also be taking unwrapped gift donations for CFAX Santa’s Anonymous, giving each donor a chance to win Vancouver Canucks tickets. For more information, visit celebrationoflights.ca.

Five decades together doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen a partnership, according to one Oak Bay couple. Betty and Gerry Emery started their table tennis pairing as high school sweethearts at Mount Douglas secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We play really well together. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married 57 years so we should have those things worked out now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of practice,â&#x20AC;? Betty said. She, however, has more gold medals from the 2012 B.C. Senior Games than Gerry does. Betty scored three golds, one alongside her husband, during the Games in Burnaby from Aug. 21 to 25. Gerry earned a gold and a silver. Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played table tennis since her childhood days of rumpus room ping pong, right through to three previous Games. Now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s among the 140 members in the Monterey 55-plus club. The husband-wife team had a fan club at the games, with kids and grandkids gathering in the stands for the mixed pairs finals that went to five matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two of our games we had to go right to five games,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy games, they were really challenging.â&#x20AC;? The Monterey team brought home 31 medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would have been about 200

Canada at the past two under-20 Junior World Cup Trophy tournaments, a product of the St. Michaels University School rugby program. “ARC selection is something everyone involved here is hoping for,” said Fuailefau, who trains daily with a senior national team’s long list. “Fuailefau will be in and among some pretty good company, and if he excels within that group it’ll be a positive indicator for him.” MacMillan said. Fuailefau’s first taste of the CRC came as a winger against the Atlantic Rock in August, in which he played a steady 80 minutes. Against Ontario, Fuailefau will start as a centre. It’s his ideal position, where he’s played for Canada U20, the UVic Vikes premier men and will likely suit up for the Castaway Wanderers this year.
Rugby’s proving grounds National rugby centre hosts provincial test this weekend Travis Paterson News staff
Rugby has come a long way in Langford. City Centre Park was once but a twinkle in Mayor Stew Young’s eyes. Now it’s the home of the Canadian Rugby Centre for Excellence, an incubator developing the country’s top players. The progression continues tomorrow (Sept. 15) as City Centre Park’s main field, Westhills Stadium, hosts the Pacific Tyee against the Ontario Blues. It’s the Tyee’s final match of the Canadian Rugby Championship, the annual regional contest between the Tyee (Team B.C.), Blues, Prairie WolfPack and Atlantic Rock. And it’s happening on the same grounds where the international America’s Rugby Championship will take place between Canada, Argentina, U.S.A. and Uruguay, Oct. 12 to 20. “(The Tyee) have been at it for three months now and we’ve tried to put together an inclusive program for the players and various coaches who’ve helped out,” said Tyee head coach John MacMillan. A core of Oak Bay High graduates lead the Tyee:

The same goes for UVic Vikes Nathan Hirayama and Sean Duke. Despite many national team players in the Tyee’s backfield, it hasn’t been the rosiest of CRC competitions. The Tyee have just one win in four matches. Wouldn’t you know, the only win was against Ontario on Sept. 1. “Outside of the results on the field, it’s been a satisfactory result all around,” MacMillan said. “The win against Ontario means a lot for our old rivalry with Ontario.” Moreover, Saturday is the final opportunity for players to catch the attention of the ARC selectors, national team head coach Kieran Crowley in particular. It’s why the CRC was developed in the first place, to give the country’s top 100-plus elite a chance to face each other on a regular basis. Professionals, of which Canada

Extreme triathlon comes to Durrance Lake, Mount Work Off-road triathlon joins community Travis Paterson News staff
Xterra Victoria is the latest addition to the Victoria triathlon scene. And it comes with an Olympic endorsement. London Games triathlete Brent McMahon will compete in the first ever Xterra Victoria race, Sunday morning (Sept. 16) at Durrance Lake. It’s taken race director Monique Moore and company two years to bring the off-road version of triathlon to fruition in Greater Victoria. “It will be about 60 racers this weekend and we’re very excited to start off small,” Moore said. “We want to get people comfortable with the idea, as this is the first off-road triathlon in the welldeveloped triathlon community of Victoria.” Despite never hosting a race before, Greater Victoria is known throughout the Xterra and triathlon communities as the home of Melanie McQuaid, three time Xterra world champion. McQuaid will be unavailable to compete this weekend, however. The race begins with a 500-metre lap swim in Durrance Lake, which transitions to a 14-kilometre cross-country mountain bike course through the Mount Work/Hartland trail system, and ends with a four-km run through the Partridge Hills. Unlike the standard distances
Extreme terra ■ Race distances vary on the Xterra triathlon circuit. ■ The most famous Xterra race is Xterra Maui, the Xterra world championship, a 1.5km rough-water swim, 29.5km mountain bike and a 9.8km trail run. ■ Xterra Victoria hopes to increase its size from this year’s 500-metre swim, 14km mountain bike, and 4km run.
of road triathlons, there are no set distances for Xterra races, which vary depending on the geography of the off-road trails. Moore, a Victoria resident originally from Calgary, is a 10-time Ironman veteran and has competed at world triathlon championships in the Olympic triathlon distance. But she’s never done an Xterra, yet. “I will definitely be doing one soon, but I was even more excited to bring one to Victoria.” She met with Xterra Canada president Cal Zaryski, of Calgary, and the conversation immediately turned to the need to put an Xterra race on the South Island, the heart of triathlon country. “This is an area that has world-class mountain biking, top Canadian triathletes and athletes otherwise, and we connected around that,” Moore said. B.C. already hosts three other Xterra races in Whistler, Kelowna and Vernon. The series is popular across Canada. The
Canadian Xterra championships were held last week in Canmore, Alta., and there are two more events in Saskatchewan. Originally, Moore and the other organizers looked at Thetis Lake, using the lesser-known mountain biking trails of upper Thetis for the cycle portion. “But we ran into quite a few environmental roadblocks,” Moore said. “There are some commonly used cycling trails at upper Thetis but there was also some sensitivity about using the area for a race.” The Mount Work/Hartland mountain biking trails are the most used in the area and already host Island Cup mountain biking races. The question was where to swim, and despite its smaller size, Durrance is big enough. “Xterra Canada races are usually under 200 competitors so the main beach of Durrance will work as the transition area (from swim to bike).” The second Sunday of September is not set in stone as an annual race date for Xterra Victoria, but because approval for the race only came through in June, and because the triathlon calendar in Victoria and southern B.C. is also pretty full, there was little choice. “The weather is holding out, hopefully, and the temperature is still great, so the race might stay in September for next year,” Moore said.

New squad, same expectations LOCAL DINING
Rebuilt Grizz open home schedule Travis Paterson News staff
In his B.C. Hockey League coaching career Bill Bestwick has experienced teams with high turnover. But this year’s Victoria Grizzlies resemble that of an expansion team, not one that was within a win of the Coastal conference finals in 2011. The new-look Grizzlies split the first two games at the BCHL showcase in Chilliwack last weekend, a 1-0 loss to the Coquitlam Express and a 5-4 overtime win against the Port Alberni Bulldogs. Tonight (Sept. 14) is the Grizz home-opener against the Powell River Kings. “For a team of 17 new players, I thought they acquitted themselves well (in Chilliwack),” Bestwick said. “The Coquitlam game could have been 3-3, and it could have gone either way, both goalies were great.” Coquitlam’s Cole Huggins stopped all 40 shots he faced for the shutout. Victoria’s Brady Rouleau saved 26 of 27 shots.
Rouleau, 19, won 12 games with the Cowichan Valley Capitals last year and was unlucky to be pinned with the team’s first loss on Friday. The Grizzlies’ other netminder, Michael Stiliadis, an 18-year-old import from Ontario, earned the win over Port Alberni on Saturday despite letting in four goals. “You’re not going to see many shutouts in this league,” Bestwick said. “That said, from what I saw at the showcase, there is some extremely good goaltending in the BCHL this year.” Bestwick only took over as the Grizz head coach and general manager in late June, which, by junior A hockey standards, is considered too late. Regardless, he and assistant coach-GM Craig Didmon got as busy as they could in the trading and recruiting department. “I’ve never started with a team in July,” Bestwick said. “But the expectations aren’t any less. If anything, it’s a chance to shape this group of players into our philosophy.” The Grizz host the Powell River Kings tonight, 7:15 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. Tomorrow the Grizzlies visit the Capitals in Duncan. sports@vicnews.com

New police watchdog for B.C. ready to go Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C.'s new police oversight office is officially in operation, ready to take over investigations of incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death. Former U.S. prosecutor Richard Rosenthal was hired last year for the new office, after establishing similar services in Denver and Portland. Rosenthal told a news conference Monday he has hired 30 of 36 investigators, divided into four teams, who are now on call to oversee investigation of any major incident involving police in the province. About half of those investigators are former police, none of whom previously worked in B.C. Rosenthal and Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police experience is required, because the teams will need to secure crime scenes, interview police and other witnesses, and investigate incidents involving off-duty police officers, including homicides. B.C.'s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is the fourth of its kind in Canada, and has the largest civilian presence of any in the world, Rosenthal said. The B.C. government committed to a civilian-led agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C. was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Bond said B.C. police agencies asked for independent oversight after police-led investigations in the Paul and Dziekanski cases eroded public support. Rosenthal said he intends to make reports public, whether or not the IIO recommends charges against police officers. Final decisions on charges are made by a Crown prosecutor, as with any CONTESTS CONTES TS PR PRODU ODUCTS CTS STORE STORES S FLY FLYERS ERS DEALS DEALS COUPO COUPONS NS BROCHU BRO CHURES RES CA CATAL TALOGU OGUES ES CON CONTES TESTS TS PR PRODU ODUCTS CTS ST STORE ORES S FLYERS FLY ERS DE DEALS ALS CO COUPO UPONS NS BRO BROCHU CHURES RES CA CATAL TALOGU OGUES ES

Nanaimo Mountie finds a new passion as he trains for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour de Rock Chris Bush Black Press
C
onst. Chris Fernandes has a new love in his life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cycling. Fernandes is representing the Nanaimo RCMP on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock 2012 team. At 59, he is also one of the oldest riders to tackle the Tour, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivated by his quest for a new athletic challenge and the fact that his two-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia in September. Raising money to fight childhood cancer seemed like something he could do to fight back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get this feeling of helplessness, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to help, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing you can do. In my case, there is something I can do,â&#x20AC;? Fernandes said. Fernandes retired from the RCMP after 36 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to years of service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30 of them in Nanaimo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; challenge myself. serving as a general duty officer and in several Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not afraid to other positions. When he retired in 2009, he immediately breathe hard.â&#x20AC;? signed up as a reserve constable and still shows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chris Fernandes up for work each day. Fernandes has always been athletic and taken on sports that were sure to test his ability and endurance. He is a member of Nanaimo Search and Rescue and was one of the original members of the B.C. RCMP dive team, now known as the RCMP Dive Recovery Team. For Fernandes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal to hike to the top of Mount Benson in Nanaimo or hop on a bike and put 50 kilometres under his tires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like challenging myself,â&#x20AC;? Fernandes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not afraid to breathe hard. The way I see it is if I stay in shape well enough and I see something and I want to try it, I can still do it.â&#x20AC;? His newfound love for cycling came as a surprise to him, but it was evident at the end of the first 20-kilometre training ride in March when the trainees returned to the Parksville RCMP detachment and Fernandes opted to cycle back to his home in Nanaimo instead of catching a lift back to town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than riding to work, I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done a lot of biking,â&#x20AC;?
Chris Bush/Black Press
Chris Fernandes sets sights on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock trek, which begins in Port Alice on Sept. 23. Fernandes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been kind of a bonus because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually found another sport that I really enjoy doing.â&#x20AC;? But even someone in Fernandesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical condition is tested by Tour de Rock training, especially on â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed nightsâ&#x20AC;? when riders train to produce high bursts of speed over a 36-kilometer course, much of it uphill, to build stamina and lung capacity. Fernandes previously fundraised before for Vision Quest and for Nanaimo Search and Rescue and hopes to raise at least $10,000 during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tour de Rock for pediatric cancer research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as I can,â&#x20AC;? he said.
