crowding Dozens of new arrivals living in UVic lounges with campus housing at overcapacity
Kyle Slavin News staff
Phil Jacobs, a former Saanich priest, will serve a five-month conditional sentence, including two months house arrest, followed by two years probation, after being found guilty of touching a young person for a sexual purpose. Phil Jacobs, 63, on Wednesday walked out of the Victoria Law Courts to begin his sentence, after B.C. Supreme Court Justice J. Miriam Gropper determined he could avoid jail time, as he is deemed a low to moderate risk to reoffend. Gropper said she put particular emphasis on “deterrence and denunciation” in deciding between incarceration and a conditional sentence. “In terms of the present conditions, his freedom is limited significantly over the next five months by the court, and then for a further two years after that,” said defence lawyer Chris Considine. Among Jacobs’ conditions are two months of house arrest, 50 hours of community service and the requirement to undergo sex offender counselling. PleASe See: Sentence, Page A8

Kyle Slavin News staff
A jump in the number of firstyear students at the University of Victoria and not enough space in on-campus housing has forced the university to turn some dormitory common areas into bedrooms. Some 55 first-years are living in dorm lounges, converted into two- and three-bedroom apartments, a measure the university hopes will only be temporary. “This helps us with our housing crunch in September,” said Joel Lynn, UVic’s executive director of student services. “We do
anticipate those students in alternative housing will likely get reassigned into one of our traditional bed spaces by the end of September. We can’t say definitively everybody will be out of temporary housing by then, but we do think the majority will be.” Beds typically become available throughout September as students either are no-shows at UVic, or decide after a few weeks that university isn’t for them – but just how many remains to be seen. Housing students in commonarea lounges isn’t a new occurrence at UVic. In 2008 and 2009 the university was faced with
a similar situation, where there were too many students guaranteed housing and too few beds for them. In the 2008-09 school year, 120 were housed in common-room lounges around campus until January 2009. Since 2007, the school has guaranteed it will provide a room to all first-year students who qualify for housing. Lynn says the common rooms are completely converted, including changing the locks so they are not accessible by other students, and those students living in them aren’t surprised by their accommodation when they arrive
on campus. “We advise those students and their parents before they arrive that we have an alternative housing format for them,” he said. “And to thank those students for their patience, we’ve provided them with a $250 book store gift certificate, and they have other options with meal plans. The university has really tried to reach out to those students.” Lynn says the university has about 2,300 beds in on-campus housing, including around 100 for staff and units for families.

Panama Flats may act as staging point for green bins Kyle Slavin News staff
When Saanich announced a deal to acquire Panama Flats in February 2011, it was done under the pretext of floodplain management and increasing protected greenspace in the municipality. And while that plan remains, Saanich, in the meantime, is looking to use an existing building on the agricultural land to help the public works crews prepare for an overhaul of our garbage collection system next spring. On Tuesday, a public hearing will be held for council to consider approving a temporary use permit to allow crews to assemble and store 64,000 kitchen scrap recycling carts in an old agricultural warehouse on Panama Flats land. Sharon Hvozdanski, director of planning, Saanich anticipates it will take two months for upwards of six employees to attach the wheels and lid to the green bins. “The short-term use of the existing building … could result in substantial cost savings for the municipality by providing the contracted services vendor with a central distribution property,” Hvozdanski wrote in a staff report. “Temporary use of this particular building would not impact lands within the floodplain or the long-term agricultural capability of the Agricultural Land Reserve lands.” In January, Saanich council approved the new collection method, to be rolled out next spring. In addition to being able to recycle kitchen scraps, the changes will require residents to drop off and pickup their garbage, recycling and organics bins at the curb. If the temporary use permit is approved, crews will have a six-month window from November 2013 to May 2014 to use the building at Panama Flats for the green bins. As for the future permanent uses of Panama Flats, Saanich still intends to create a long-term management plan for the site, with input from the public coming from open houses and public consultation. kslavin@saanichnews.com
Federal ocean research a ‘subsidy’ for Enbridge pipeline, say Greens Tom Fletcher and Danielle Pope News staff
Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the Conservative government Wednesday of “doing Enbridge’s homework” with $120 million program to study ocean weather and behaviour of heavy oil spills in the ocean around Kitimat. At a news conference in Victoria on Wednesday, May added her voice to that of Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who raised questions in the B.C. legislature in July about an ocean monitoring project in support of oil tanker exports as proposed by Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project. May and Weaver released leaked documents they say show Ottawa spending $78 million this year and $42 million next year for marine weather monitoring and determining how diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands would behave in a spill. May said federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty changed the federal budget documents

Andrew Weaver, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA (left), and Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, announced a move by the federal government to spend over $100 million on infrastructure for the Northern Gateway Project. this year to conceal changes to ministry and program spending, making it impossible for MPs to identify spending on programs such as the ocean monitoring on B.C.’s North Coast. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued a statement Wednesday, rejecting May’s accusation of secrecy. Oliver said he announced the program publicly in Vancouver
in March. “Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have we have world-class marine safety on Canada’s coastlines,” Oliver said. “While the Green Party and the NDP oppose resource development projects before the science is in, our government will not make decisions until an independent scientific review determines they are safe for Canadians and safe for

the environment.” Weaver said the investment amounts to a subsidy to Enbridge, which should do its own research on environmental effects of its pipeline and tanker port proposal. “My call today is for the province of B.C. to reinforce the ‘no’ message they have already provided the federal government with, and not let that message waver now,” Weaver said. “My concern is that the province may weaken its decision from a ‘no’ to a ‘maybe, just not now’ ... this is dangerous when the public thinks the province has said ‘no.’” B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said B.C. is collaborating in coastal research with the federal government, but she couldn’t speak to the amount of funds spent by the province. “We’ve been very clear to the feds that we do not want to see this (pipeline) approved, and we remain opposed,” Polak said. “However, what a lot of people don’t realize is that we already have a very active coastline and this is important research to partake in even without a pipeline going in.” Rock, visit copsforcancerbc. ca/tourderock/arnoldlim.

Kudos to city’s cruise industry Tourism in Victoria is in ship-shape according to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The region welcomed its five-millionth cruise ship passenger last week – the title officially granted jointly to newlyweds Michael Nace and Patricia Guthrie of Santee, Calif. on Aug. 30. It was the icing on the cake for the harbour authority, which recorded a banner year. And it is not alone. Early numbers indicate Victoria enjoyed the best tourist season since 2008 this year, beginning in the spring and heating up along with the summer weather. Hotel occupancy was up 1.5 per cent compared to last year and the average daily room rate increased by more than $10 this quarter. Aside from hotel rooms, the cruise ship industry is integral to that success. In 2001, a mere 71 ships arrived at Ogden Point, compared to the 210 scheduled to enter the port this year, including the Celebrity Solstice, one of the largest ships at sea, which brings up to 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew to the city each week. With tourism numbers down across the country, not to mention Greater Victoria’s lull over the last few years, those coming by sea are an integral part of the brighter tourism picture in our region. The cruise industry now brings in approximately 15 per cent of the estimated three million visitors to Victoria each year. Reaching the five-million mark is a coup for the harbour authority, especially in light of the fact that it is a not-for-profit corporation that operates Fisherman’s Wharf, Ship Point in the Inner Harbour, Wharf and Johnson Street marinas. The ships bring a consistent flow of tourists that bolster each community event and increase the lively, vibrant feel of the city that entices visitors to return. Despite issues with its neighbours, which the harbour authority continues to address, the cruise ship business is clearly good for the region and should be given our support and congratulations.

weird. As a child, I wished I could go trick-or-treating in plain clothes; walking around with face-paint and a cape on wasn’t something I ever embraced. Even as an adult taking taekwondo I felt silly in a gi, even though everyone else was wearing them too. I felt so awkward that I opted for kick boxing instead. In the past couple of years I’ve managed to lose more than 90 pounds and I feel the Drop Zone is something I can do now, that maybe I couldn’t have before. Then I think about the children that are able to go to camp through East Seals fundraisers such as this. Without the specialized camp, many of these children would never have the opportunity to experience a unique week of summer fun. While this is a personal challenge for myself, I also want to challenge all Black Press readers to donate to the cause. If together we can raise $2,400, we can cover the cost of sending one kid to camp. All I can do now is remind myself that Drop Zone is for the children and it’s another opportunity for me to get out of my element, experience something new and hopefully have another memorable experience that will stay with me for life.

Unacceptable treatment of pets a serious matter to consider

Doggone good time B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union member Pam Desjardine relaxes with her dogs, Sissy, 10 left, and Spirit, 9, at the annual Labour Day picnic at Irving Park in James Bay. The event featured information booths, family activities, entertainment and free lunch for kids. Desjardine says she never misses the picnic rain or shine because she (and the dogs) enjoy the music.
Weaver’s actions somehow ignored
Re: Man faces animal cruelty charges (News, Aug. 28) I read that this man abused an animal in 2009 and again in May 2013. It absolutely infuriates me. Why would it be all right for him to have a pet again for a third time? Abusing an animal once is completely unacceptable and terribly cruel. In my opinion, if a person abuses an animal once they should never be allowed to have a pet again, ever. Also if one cannot provide basic needs for an animal such as shelter, water and food, they should seriously reconsider adopting the pet. All pets deserve to have their basic needs provided for by a responsible owner who will also give much love and attention to their pet. After all, pets are part of the family and one loves and cares for family members.
Re: Watershed time for B.C. Greens (Our View, Aug. 30) Your editorial is timely. Some of us who live in Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding were dismayed that the Green candidate, Andrew Weaver and his party were not held to the same standard as other candidates and parties. For example, while every other party produced a cost estimate of their promises, the Greens chose not to. Hence it was impossible, from a rational analysis of the multitude of promises in their Green Book, to identify either any sense of priorities or a coherent implementation plan. In short, it was an uncosted and incoherent wish list. Thus one promise, among many in the platform, became increasingly dubious: the promise of a balanced budget. Weaver called the proposed Liberal budget a bogus document, as it was based on long-term promises of fantasy liquefied natural gas plant revenues. However, in the subsequent sitting of the legislature he voted with the Liberals in support of the budget. He expressed no confidence in the government in the campaign, yet upon his election votes confidence in the same government: a very confusing act, which once again the mainstream media somehow ignored. Perhaps the editorial headline should have read “Watershed time for B.C. Greens and the B.C. Media”?

Re: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich (vicnews.com, Aug. 29) I find it interesting that Mayor Leonard failed to mention Cedar Hill Golf Course in this article. The golf course does pre-date his time in municipal politics, but he certainly had some influence on its operation since being elected. It was a cash cow for Saanich for years, with profits used to subsidize other recreation facilities. It is unfortunate that Saanich did not have the foresight to put some of those proceeds aside for the golf course when it needed some work done on the irrigation and drainage, or to carry the facility through the recent economic downturn. However, positive things are now happening and the golf course is in the best shape it’s ever been in, thanks to the skill and efforts of the grounds crew – Saanich employees who clearly take pride in their jobs. There are very few municipalities that can claim a full, 18-hole golf course among their assets and Cedar Hill Golf Course is truly a gem. It should be a source of pride to the Saanich Parks and Recreation department and certainly to the mayor as well.

He will also be put on the National Sex Offender Registry, and submit his DNA to the National DNA Data Bank. Until the completion of his probation, Jacobs is also not allowed to be in the presence of a person under the age of 16 unless another adult is present. “I’m baffled that the courts don’t understand the nature of this crime. I get the judge’s hands were tied and this is a very minimal sentence, but it really shows a lack of understanding of the nature of this crime,” said Leona Huggins, with the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP). She said the young victim of Jacobs’ crime is now serving a “life sentence” stemming from being abused by Jacobs, a person who was in a position of trust. The guilty charge stems from when the victim, a high school-aged boy, was

undergoing tutoring sessions at Jacobs’ house on the grounds of St. Joseph the Worker in Saanich in the early 2000s. Gropper agreed with the Crown’s assertion that Jacobs deliberately touched the boy’s genitals. Considine said on Wednesday that Jacobs said he regrets having put himself and the victim in that position. “He just doesn’t consider himself a sex offender, in the sense that there was no sexual gratification or anything of that nature that we normally find is the normal situation in these cases,” Considine added. Jacobs worked part-time from 1996 to 1998 at St. Rose of Lima in Sooke before taking the position of parish priest at St. Joseph the Worker in Saanich in 1997. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria hired Jacobs despite knowing he had been relieved of his duties at a church in Columbus, Ohio, in the early 1990s after
admitting to inappropriately touching a teenage boy in the 1980s. Jacobs admitted during testimony in Victoria court that he had sexually abused two boys in Ohio, but had attended therapy to control compulsions to instruct boys on masturbation. He told the court he had a series of inappropriate experiences with teen boys involving camping trips and masturbation. Huggins said the Victoria diocese needs to be held accountable for allowing such a situation to take place. “They knew Jacobs was an offender from Ohio, and still they put him into a position of working with adolescent boys,” she said. “There needs to be some accountability in our legal system. And from a moral stance, the church should be saying, ‘We don’t want these men working with our children.’” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Lynn could not provide information on how many students are on this year’s wait list. “We message students before they arrive to UVic that we are essentially a first-year undergrad residence population, and then we help those students look for housing in the community as they go into their upper years,” Lynn said. Ten common rooms have been converted into temporary apartments, but Lynn said the school still
has plenty of other lounges around campus that haven’t been converted, meaning residents still have options for where to congregate and socialize. The university saw a 13-per-cent increase in new full-time students (approximately 520 students) this year.

Foragers prep for second journey Fundraiser in Saanich to help foraging sailing trip Charla Huber News staff
Throwing a party is how five young adventure seekers are building up a contingency fund. Brendan Harris and four of his friends are preparing to sail from Florida to Australia with their departure from the Sunshine State set for midDecember. It will be the second journey for The Foragers Galley, a group of sailing hunter-gatherers. Their first trip was a one-month voyage from Victoria to Cortez Island and back. Gearing up to embark on a much longer journey, the crew has saved up and pooled money together to cover the costs of the 11-month trip, but they set nothing aside for emergencies. The Foragers Galley is hosting its Farewell Feast and Fundraiser on Sept. 7 to raise money for their contingency fund. The feast will feature local and wild foods on a private property in rural Saanich. The hunter-gatherers that make up the fiveperson group say the focus of their journey is to learn how to forage for food in one’s natural environment. During the journey the crew will be depending on the knowledge of the locals as they learn to forage for wild foods in the countries they visit. On their Victoria to Cortez trip, the crew was

already well-versed in wild foods. “In different countries you aren’t allowed to import fruit and a lot of the time you have to fumigate the boat before going to a new country,” Harris said. “We’ll be eating a lot of seafood and probably eating fish at least once a day.” While the menu for the feast fundraiser is still being finalized, foraging for local food will play a part in what’s served. A local roasted pig and lamb, alongside salmon and wild mushrooms are currently set to be cooked. “Chanterelles have been popping up with all the fog in Sooke lately,” Harris said.

art of enjoying a music festival like Rifflandia is putting on your musical explorer hat, or cape — whichever you prefer. The fact of the matter is, with more than 170 acts in the lineup, there’s no conceivable way to be familiar with all of them. Unless of course, you’re Nick Blasko or Dimitri Demers of Atomique Productions, the festival’s producers. With more acts this year than ever before, and more international acts who’ve never played a set on our Island paradise, Rifflandia 6 is sure to be a spectacle like no other. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Courtney Love, Big Boi, Death From Above 1979, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney (DFA/ LCD Soundsystem), Stars, Matt & Kim, Beats Antique and so many others — are all gracing one of 14 stages at this year’s festival. Instead of a side stage at Royal Athletic Park, organizers are opting for a massive open-walled tent to help focus the energy and give the park a different feel. “And Nick really likes tents,” says Demers. Action at RAP will “ping pong”
back and forth from stage to tent, keeping the music flowing all day long, Sept.13-15. New night venues include the Copper Owl, Rehab Nightclub, the recently expanded Phillips Brewery backyard and CMCT studios, an intimate space with a small capacity on Discovery Street, curated by Colin McTaggart. Night stages are open Sept. 12-14. Rifflandia Headquarters (and Atomique Productions’ office) is now located inside the old RBC building on the corner of Pandora and Douglas, where you can buy tickets, merch or just stop by and have some fun with your fellow Rifflandians. Remember: It’s always easiest to get around town on bicycle, especially at night when there are 12 stages operating simultaneously. And if you have certain acts on your “must see” list, get there early as venue capacities range from 40 to 2,000. rifflandia.com.

he past few days have been all about digging up memories for the members of Celtic thunder. the musical ensemble group from ireland spent several days in Abbotsford this week, rehearsing the material from their Mythology album, recorded last year but yet to be taken on the road. “Mythology is the tour and we’re so excited to finally be rolling this out,” said Ryan Kelly, one of several principal singers in the six-member group and an original member from 2007. the accompanying dVd for the album was filmed last August in dublin and two days later the artists and crew flew out to start their 2012 fall North American tour. “We’ve spent the last few days remembering what we did last year in dublin,” Kelly says. “We’ve sang hundreds of songs since we recorded it, so it’s taking a bit of time to relearn it. But they’re songs that we love and songs that we’ve performed (individually) over the years.” Celtic thunder brings its multi-genre stage show
to Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday (Sept. 8), a day after kicking off the 2013 edition of their Canada-u.S. tour in Abbotsford. For people unfamiliar with the act, Kelly says the goal is to transport audience members back to a show pub in ireland, where they might hear everything from traditional irish and Celtic folk tunes to rock and country foot stompers. “What has always been a plus point of our show is that it really is trying to bring people in and give them a good time, give them a good night,” he says. “it’s pretty much an eclectic mix, but that’s always been the way with Celtic thunder.” With choreographed moves accompanying the music and the singers thrust into loose character roles, the scene plays out much like a las Vegas musical. “one thing about irish music and Celtic music in general, it really is about storytelling, and the best way of portraying that music is doing it on stage. often, i suppose, people don’t get a chance to travel to Broadway or Vegas or the big city to see shows like this.” Show time in Victoria is 7 p.m. tickets, $55 and $75 plus tax, are available at the arena box office or at selectyourtickets.com.
et ready to witness one of the Victoria arts scene’s greatest collaborations at the eighth annual Reel-to-Reel music and film challenge, Sept. 8 at the Vic theatre. Film and music makers from across Victoria are teaming up to produce short films, up to 10 minutes long, inspired by a selection of diverse local music. Genres range from celtic punk and heavy metal to experimental, electronic and pop. even a spoken word piece, We Are it Stopped, by Victoria’s poet laureate Janet Marie Rogers made the cut this year, a first for this competition. Musical artists involved in this year’s competition include psychic pollution, Kaya Martin, Secondhand habit, empire Monday, Kristy Farkas, the McGillicuddys and Solipsis. eight songs were chosen by judges from a long list of entries. then filmmakers had the chance to vote for their favourites. in the end, each filmmaker was assigned a song to base their short movie around. the final product is being screened in front of an audience at the recently resurrected Vic theatre (808 douglas) for the first time. “the filmmakers are excited to present their work on a big screen in a proper theatrical environment,” says Bryan Skinner, executive director of CineVic Society of independent Filmmakers, which hosts the event. “i’ve had the chance to see a couple of films that have already come in and they’re fabulous. i’m really excited about some of the work.” having professional quality music to work with
gives the independent filmmakers a chance to focus on the visual aspect of storytelling, says Skinner. And events like this one give members of each community a chance to meet and mingle. “We’ve seen some really great stuff come out of the exposure of filmmakers and musicians meeting each other at this event,” says Skinner. Sibling filmmakers Victoria and Jen Wescott were introduced to the music of Chris ho at Reel-toReel. After that introduction, they decided to use one of his tunes in their feature Locked in a Garage Band, which screened at Cannes in May. Reel-to-Reel music and film challenge is a 19+ event. driftwood Brewery will be on hand to serve up some suds. doors at 7 p.m., screening at 7:30 p.m.

etting full marks for timeliness (if not a lot else), the political thriller Short Circuit is a thoughtful if tepid look at how the modern state can secretly abuse its power. The film opens with a dozen different images of anonymous shoppers in an open-air market in London: it’s real-time footage from surveillance cameras, and is meant to remind us that this is one of the most security-conscious cities in the world. Suddenly the separate images combine into one massive explosion as a terrorist truck bomb kills 120 innocents. The next day a Turkish national is arrested, and two lawyers – Martin Rose (Eric Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Rebecca Hall) – are appointed by the Attorney General (the great Jim Broadbent) as the man’s council. The matter is highly political, and parts of the case against the alleged bomber involve state secrets that can only be revealed in closed court. Dark currents are flowing beneath the surface, and when Martin digs a little he wonders if his client isn’t actually a mole working for MI5, Britain’s domestic security service. Aware they are being spied on, and now convinced that the “suicide” of a lawyer previously involved with the case may have been a state-sanctioned murder, the two lawyers find themselves desperately pondering how much they are prepared to risk to see the truth come out. All the elements of a fine film are here. The two lawyers have a sour romantic history that adds a layer of tension as they try to piece together the truth of their case. There are suspenseful episodes of skullduggery and violence as agents do whatever it takes to spare the government catastrophic embarrassment. And the cast is excellent – especially Broadbent, who is deliciously poisonous as the consummately soulless politician who believes that “justice” must be stage managed on occasion. But nothing quite gels, and this feels like an over-refined version of the hit TV show MI5. Rating:

ritten and directed by as well as starring Lake Bell (It’s Complicated, No Strings Attached), In A World is one of those rare contemporary comedies that actually has something on its mind. Bell stars as Carol, an under-achieving vocal coach who lives in the shadow of her overbearing father, Sam (Fred Melamed), who is a legend in the world of “voice artists” who do the narration for movie trailers and national ads. As the movie starts Sam is evicting 30-year-old Carol from his house because he wants to install his newest girlfriend in her place. Carol, a hapless slacker finally confronted with the need to earn rent, has no choice but to try harder on the work front. Unexpectedly she gets hired as the voice of a big ad campaign – stealing the contract out from under one of the country’s biggest voice stars in the process. And in a business that is almost entirely a boy’s club, this has repercussions that echo throughout the film. As we watch Carol literally and metaphorically finding her voice in an industry that – like Hollywood itself – is often hostile to female interests, it’s not hard to figure out the theme of World. But Bell tackles the subject with sly aplomb, and also has the good sense to cast Geena Davis in an acerbic cameo as a film executive producing a ‘tweener movie akin to the Twilight series. (Her acidic comments about the romance-fantasy genre are a brutally amusing complement to the movie’s feminist perspective.) Well acted, funny, and insightful, World is worth a visit. Rating:

Services cut for sex worker support Long-running PEERS closes drop-in centre Danielle Pope News staff
Hundreds of Victoria sex workers are now going without resources, as PEERS Victoria Resource Society quietly closed the doors to its drop-in centre and shut down its most influential program last month. The Elements program, which since 1998 has given many Victoria sex workers their first chance, was disbanded indefinitely on Aug. 9, and the daytime drop-in centre was closed Aug. 16. The resource loss is due, in part, to a complex change in funding structure and tough decisions PEERS staff was forced to make with an impending deficit. PEERS will continue its daytime and nighttime outreach services, but only 10 per cent of its current 515 clientele have been matched with service
Danielle Pope/News staff
Marion Little, PEERS Victoria Resource Society executive director, stands outside the daytime drop-in centre in Esquimalt, which has been closed since Aug. 16. providers, leaving 90 per cent of those women with few or no resources. Three staff positions were also lost in the cuts. “This is a really painful and tragic time for the whole community, and the only thing I can hope is that this is the contrac-
tion before the expansion, just like a heartbeat,” said PEERS executive director Marion Little. “Just as I trust my own heart, all we can do now is trust our greater community will rally around us to protect us and help us find our beat again.” Little says the decision has been looming since 2011, due to the implementation of the new provincial integrated case management system. In order for social assistance groups to receive reimbursement funds for services provided, many more administrative steps were required, and much more personal information was demanded of clients. “We used to offer bus tickets to clients to help access our services, but where it used to take one or two administrative moves to be reimbursed for that, now it took us 30 – for each ticket – and there are so many more complex services we offer that we were losing so much staff time to administrative roles, until we could basically no longer afford our own services,” Little said.

Heart and soul captain
Travis Paterson News staff
SIx years ago, brothers Jamie and Jordie Benn stood on the ice at Bear Mountain Arena during Victoria Grizzlies camp. They were looking over the names of the remaining players on the roster. “Who’s this 1993 kid still on here?” Jamie said. “That’s me,” said Walton, who was standing behind them. At 14, Walton was the only 1993-born player still in camp. Jamie was impressed. It’s a moment Walton never forgot. Earlier this week Walton, now 20, was named the captain of the Victoria Cougars. The Cougars host the Westshore Wolves on Sunday (Sept. 8), 3:30 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre. Spending his final year of junior hockey in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League is far from the B.C. Hockey League career Walton had expected. He never did make the Grizzlies, despite practicing with the team as an underager during head coach Geoff Courtnall’s tenure. But he’s honoured to lead the Cougars all the same, he said. “(Walton) has all the qualities of a great leader and the qualities to rally a team to a common purpose,” Cougars head coach Mark Van Helvoirt said. “His work ethic is second to none.” Walton is the remaining piece of last year’s leadership trio of captain Brody Coulter and assistant captain Sam Rice, who have moved on to college teams this year. With 14 new players, Walton is leading the Cougars into a new era. “Brody and Sam are two of my best friends so it’s going to

Walton wore a face shield as he played through two seperate facial lacerations during the playoffs from a puck and a skate. be different. It’s nice to be able to follow in their footsteps.” A couple of regime changes kept Walton from ever playing for Grizzlies and it’s been to the Cougars’ advantage. Walton was named the VIJHL’s unsung player of the year in 2012-13 and was a major role player in getting the team to the provincial gold medal final the past two seasons. “This season will be a learning curve and take longer than years previous, but the team is coming together well and we can already see improve-
ments.” In other words, a thirdstraight trip to the Cyclone Taylor Cup is still the goal, but this team is not expected to repeat last year’s record season, when the Cougars marched through the 48-game schedule with one regulation loss. “(The Cyclone Taylor Cup) will be more difficult this year but if we put the effort into practice and games, it will all come down to work ethic.” Along with his season-long expectations, Walton will also have to change daily expecta-
tions. When the team wasn’t playing its best, he wasn’t shy about showing his displeasure. And that’s no way to go about mentoring younger players, he said. “In the past I was probably one of the guys to get mad if something goes wrong, so I’ve got to control that.” All indications are that the Cougars are in good hands with Walton. A product of the Juan de Fuca minor hockey program, Walton has been groomed in the same Victoria hockey pipeline as the best of them. He came through Spencer middle school’s hockey academy under Grizzlies onagain-off-again assistant coach Craig Didmon. At Spencer, a melting pot of some of the city’s best middle school players, he played with Wade Murphy of the NCAA’s North Dakota hockey, formally known as the Fighting Sioux, and with Travis Stephens and Braden Pears of the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters. Walton’s had his own taste of the BCHL, having played about a dozen games over the past two seasons for the powerhouse Powell River Kings, including the playoffs. “My only time playing junior A at Bear Mountain Arena was against the Grizzlies so that was special,” he said. “I’m not sure I’m in the (Kings’) mix anymore as a 20-year-old but, it was a great experience playing for them during seasons they came close to winning the BHCL championship.” The number of key contributors returning to the Cougars is low this year. Graham Zagrodney and Jake Stolz lead the defence with Jake Daughtry, Jordan Davie, David Marshall, Howard Howden and Jesse Nixon all looking to take on bigger responsibilities. sports@vicnews.com

Runners set 10,000-metre track records at UVic Two age-group records were broken at The Q’s Victoria Run Series’ final meet of the 2013 season at UVic’s Centennial Stadium on Saturday. Running diva Marilyn Arsenault (the opera singer) crushed the main event, the Maude Hunter’s B.C. Championship 10,000metre race, with a Canadian age-group 40-44 record time of 34 minutes 18.21 seconds. That effort shaves four seconds off the previous record, set by Arsenault at last year’s event. She is currently in training for the Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon, where she hopes to run under 2:40 and qualify for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Saturday also saw two-time Olympian Bruce Deacon of Victoria set the 45-49 agegroup record for 10,000-m with a time of 31:55.92. The top three men in the 10,000-m were all master-age (over 40) runners, as Deacon was second overall in the event to fellow over-40 Victoria runner Jim Finlayson (31:31.12) and former UVic Vikes athlete Craig Odermatt was third (32:20.60). The event also hosted two 5,000-m races, which were won by Frank Towler and Martha McNeely, in the men’s and women’s 60-69 divisions, respectively. Towler ran 21:44.99 and McNeely finished in 26:54.70. Chris Galley won the open men’s 5,000-m in 17:01.74 and Courtney Cameron won the women’s in 19:56.19 The series is introducing a new road race, the Synergy Shuffle, on Sept. 15 with an 11 a.m. start time. It has three distances, 10, 20 and 30 km, all starting at Lochside Trail and Island View Road, next to Michell’s Farm Market. Visit victoriarunseries.com to register or for more information.

Zoot 10K will run through Oak Bay, Uplands Travis Paterson News staff
What was once the weekend of the Land’s End half marathon, a Sunday morning jaunt through the lonely roads of the Saanich Peninsula, is now the Zoot 10K in Oak Bay. The new 10-kilometre race debuts on Sunday (Sept. 8). It starts in Oak Bay Village and heads past Estevan Village through the Uplands with a turnaround at Cattle Point. Minor hills and a 500-metre incline will challenge the runners, said Island Runner running store proprietor and former Royal Victoria Marathon winner Phil Nichols. The Zoot has evolved from the McNeill Bay Half Marathon Nichols organized the past two years, which was created to fill the gap of the Land’s End race. “The reasoning was to have an event that complements the running community and 10 km is a really good buildup for people doing the (GoodLife Fitness Victoria half marathon in October).” The numbers for the McNeill Bay event weren’t high, and with an influx of other races and events this time of the season, it led to a redesign. “There are more alternative athletic events popping up such as Tour de Victoria, Tough Mudder, various triathlons, CrossFit contests and more, but the same athletes still use the 10k as a measuring stick,” Nichols said. “The 10 km distance was chosen to welcome walkers, beginners and expert runners.” The Zoot route is separate from the Oak Bay Kool Half Marathon that runs in the spring and only duplicates about 500 metres of the Victoria Marathon course. And while Nichols emphasizes the race is for all levels, it will have some flash as Olympic 1,500-metre runner Hillary Stellingwerff will be in the lead pack, as will UVic Vike Brittany Therrien, winner of the Magical Mile last spring. The race is named for the athletic apparel company providing race shirts. sports@vicnews.com

Pat Kay kicked 20 points and led the B.C. Bears to its first win of the 2013 Canadian Rugby Championship, 40-18 over the Atlantic Rock at Westhills Stadium on Monday (Sept. 2). The win gave the Bears a split of its two-game weekend at Westhills, having lost 11-7 to the Ontario Blues on Friday. However, the Bears have just one win in three CRC games while the Blues are first, the only undefeated team through three games. The Bears and Wolf Pack (2-2) can still catch the Bears and win the CRC while the Rock (1-3) are mathematically eliminated. The Bears play its final two games of the CRC on the road against the Ontario Blues in Lindsay on Sept. 14 and against the Prairie Wolf Pack (2-2) in Edmonton on Sept. 21.

gan Williams, and a younger team led by former Canadian sevens star Shane Thompson. There will also be more than 20 UVic Vikes, current and former, playing in the tournament, either on the Canadian teams or the University Selects team. “This is a tournament that is great for players 18, 19 and 20 years old who aren’t ready to play internationally but need that experience,” said tournament director Doug Tate, coach of the UVic Vikes men’s rugby team. The tourney starts at 10 a.m. and runs all day with two exhibition matches, a women’s game at 2 p.m. and an under-16 boys match at 4 p.m. All round robin games are 10 minutes with 10 minute shield, bowl, plate and cup finals starting at 4:20 p.m. (approximately).

Ambriss Clermont ride for Hospice Travis Paterson News staff
The Ambriss Clermont Memorial Ride for Hospice, a group cycling ride, leaves Sunday morning for its second annual event. The decision to do the ride for Victoria Hospice was simply to honour her memory and raise money for the facility that cared for her final days with cancer in February of 2012, said son Martin Clermont. Martin helps run the Russ Hay’s The Bicycle Shop at Hillside Avenue which parents Ambriss and Mike purchased in 1972. “We’d like to grow the ride out

of an opportunity to create a real fundraiser for Hospice, that’s the reason to attract people, it’s a great organization that needs the funds,” Martin said. The ride has three distances, 60 kilometres for beginners, 125 km and 270 km. Mike will do the 60 km with daughters Loree and Kim while Martin will do the 125 km. “We’ll have about 50 to 75 cyclists and it’s just about fun and riding and supporting Hospice.” Fundraising is up to the riders, by donation or through pledges, but there’s no entry fee on the waiver.

Motivated by personal experience Chris Bush and Auren Ruvinsky Black Press
Few reasons are more compelling to grab a spot on the 2013 Tour de Rock team than to help give your own son and other children a fighting chance to beat cancer. Const. Misty Dmytar, 39, is relatively new to the Nanaimo RCMP detachment, but she and her two-year-old son, Griffyn, are well known in the Comox Valley where she served until recently, and to Tour de Rock teams from the last couple of years. She is one of two riders from the Nanaimo area, joining Const. Ed de Jong, who is based at the detachment on Gabriola Island. When Griffyn was just four days old he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of infant cancer that presents about 50-70 cases a year in Canada. Dmytar and her partner had to get Griffyn into treatment immediately. “Griffyn was the youngest they’d ever seen that had come in with neuroblastoma,” Dmytar said. Surgeons took a tumour the size of a baseball, weighing 230 grams, off of his right adrenal gland. They took the gland too. Initial treatment produced positive results, but an ultrasound taken a few months later revealed a tumour on Griffyn’s other adrenal gland and spots on his liver. Five months of chemotherapy treatment halted the disease. The tumour shrunk to half its size and the spots on his liver are still there, but the disease has been effectively dormant since 2010. For now and hopefully forever, Griffyn has

Tour de Rock riders Misty Dmytar, left, with her son Griffyn, a cancer survivor; Ed de Jong; and Jesse Foreman are all motivated to participate in Cops for Cancer by different experiences, but they’re hoping their efforts pay off in improving the lives for children and families who are going through cancer. beaten cancer. He returns for more tests this month. In the meantime, Dmytar is training for the tour, which starts Sept. 21. Combined with fundraising, it’s a big commitment for a mother of two who works 12-hour shifts. Const. Ed de Jong, 43, is a recent arrival to the central Island region. He moved to Gabriola with his family in January after serving in Terrace, B.C. His reason for getting in the saddle for the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is simply to offer something back to the community in which he works. “For me, being in the position I’m in as an RCMP member, the ability to give back to the community is a big thing for me and just the fact that this event supports kids with cancer makes it such an easy decision to do,” de Jong said. With two children – a son, 11,
and daughter, 14 – who are healthy, de Jong counts his blessings. His father-in-law is a cancer survivor. Living on Gabriola Island means catching a ferry to Nanaimo to meet up with other team members for training rides out of Parksville and Nanaimo. The time and transportation restrictions have translated into de Jong doing most of his training alone on Gabriola roads. A 90-kilometre ride means three laps around the island. Oceanside RCMP’s Tour de Rock rider Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he was inspired to get involved by “looking at my own healthy kids and when I saw some who weren’t healthy I wanted to do something.” His boys are currently seven and nine, making their understanding and support important to Foreman as he squeezes training between his family and full-time job at the Oceanside detachment where he’s in charge of community policing.

Like his fellow riders, he’s been touched by cancer in his family with a grandfather, aunt and uncle all dealing with the disease on some level. He is also inspired by five-yearold Lucas, the junior rider he’s been teamed up with. The local kid was in and out of the hospital for eight months and lost his kidney to cancer, but is now in remission. Foreman said that other than having to go back to Children’s Hospital every four months for tests until he’s 18, “you can’t tell him apart from any other kid.” For these three riders, they say it’s the least they can do to support these kids. “The more money we raise through Tour de Rock, the more chance these kids have and the better the treatments that will come out,” Dmytar said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com writer@pqbnews.com

Online guide outlines ‘green’ resources Going green has never been so easy, thanks to a new guide that points Islanders toward sustainable resources. Vancouver Island Green Scene, the notfor-profit producers of the guide, is kicking off the initiative with a Sept. 9 networking lunch at the Victoria Marriott Hotel featuring Green MLA Andrew Weaver. The online resource guide links viewers with values-based businesses, organizations and resources at vancouverislandgreen scene.org. The application process is detailed (some businesses have been rejected), but help is available. “This really is a labour of love,” said founder Frances Litman. “We aren’t operating with any grants, but we feel we are giving a lot of value to the community, which is always growing.” news@mondaymag.com
